Chapter 152 Big fish eat small fish

You need to know what twelve thousand dollars is. For a citizen of the United States, the salary throughout the year is only two to three hundred dollars, no more. Even if Kolbe Bradham has one of his own

The small workshops in Sheffield are now self-employed with a little more income than ordinary people.

Theoretically, this amount of money is equivalent to ten years of Kolbe Bradham's income. If this drink still exists ten years later, you must know that Coca-Cola was sold at a price of one thousand two hundred dollars. Sheffield felt that

I am already interested in the founder, not to mention that he also left a symbolic 2% of the shares to the other party.

If in the past few decades, Kolbe Bradham might have been able to talk face to face with Sheffield, but now, he has retained the greatest restraint by telling the founder to get out without paying him.

, fully demonstrated his benevolent side, and the huge gap in financial resources left Kolbe Bradham with no choice.

"On the basis of retaining Xuancheng's special effect on stomach problems, the distribution still needs to be improved. I mean, keep the taste similar to Coca-Cola, but discard the useless ingredients." Sheffield said to himself.

After expressing his feelings, he looked directly at Kolbe Bradham and asked softly, "Can you do it?"

"But, boss, this may reduce the effect on gastric diseases." Kolbe Bradham hesitated for a moment and then spoke hesitantly, wanting to show his uniqueness in the field of pharmacists.

Then he received a palm, which meant to shut him up. Sheffield chuckled and curled his lips, "You private pharmacists, that is, you fool ordinary citizens. Over time, you even believe it. Obviously

All of them are from civilian backgrounds and don’t even have medical qualifications. If the so-called drinks you come up with can cure diseases, then why do the Rockefeller family invest huge sums of money in the pharmaceutical industry? Is it idle? "

The scene at this time is as if Qiang Xiong is clapping a check to scold the golden right foot, preparing to bring the Shaolin Football Team over. In fact, it is almost the same. However, Sheffield appreciates the Penguins' approach of being a single major shareholder, but he does not

Let the founder go and leave the original team to continue to expand the territory.

"The new Pepsi-Cola trademark is mainly blue, and the future packaging will be replaced by glass bottles. You will definitely not be able to do this with your capital, so naturally I will take care of it," Sheffield said.

The micro-innovation I am planning to carry out, micro-innovation is something that has been accumulated by large and small enterprises in later generations of the Republic. To put it simply, it is a little better than the copycat. It adds some functions to increase comfort without leaving the fundamentals unchanged.

.

It doesn't sound like it has much to offer, but it is better than a direct copycat. If the can technology hadn't appeared in this era, Sheffield would have already taken the lead and bought the patent for the can and skipped the glass directly.

The bottling process, running into advanced capitalist society...

At night, when Kolbe Bradham returned to the hotel, he sat on the edge of the bed. His head was filled with mixed emotions, and his heart was in a mess. On the one hand, his career had been taken away, and on the other hand, there was something in front of him that he had never imagined before.

Unexpected money, mixed emotions, mixed emotions.

"Colbe, how are you?" Kolbe? Bradham's wife happened to come in with hot water. Seeing her husband just coming back, she seemed to be in a bad mood and asked softly,

"Is something not going well?"

"No, things are going very well. It's just that the thing that I have been working hard for now belongs to someone else. I still feel a little complicated. You may not understand this!" Kolbe Bradham forced out a smile and said, "I don't know either.

Is my current thinking correct? I may have watched my career grow from scratch, and now I am suddenly a bystander. I may not be able to accept it."

"Actually, there are so many drinks on the market. It's not easy to become a successful brand like Coca-Cola. Didn't our new boss also leave you shares? Your career has not left you." Kolbe?

Bradham's wife didn't know how to persuade her husband. She could only say something nice, "I just heard about the amount of money that can be acquired. Aren't you also very happy? With this money

, we can also live a very good life, you are still a shareholder and pharmacist of the new company, you have not lost your career, right?"

"Yes!" Kolbe Bradham let out a long breath and opened the package with emotion. Twelve thousand dollars in cash inside appeared in front of the couple.

They have become successful people and a better life is waiting for them.

Kolbe Bradham comforted himself, look who he was facing, and who he was talking about? The new boss was also the heir to a large southern company, and the person he was talking about was the Rockefeller family, the kings of the oil industry.

.You should be proud to be part of someone else's family. If you can't beat them, you might as well join them.

Even the Coca-Cola Company, which is a giant in front of me, is just a bigger ant in the eyes of others. There is nothing I can't think of.

Thinking of this, Kolbe Bradham and his wife, who has always supported his career, began to talk about a better life in the future.

In fact, there are only a few entrepreneurs who can strengthen their hearts in the process of starting a business. Not to mention Kolbe Bradham, an entrepreneur who is at the beginning of his career. Even bigger entrepreneurs inevitably maintain their enterprising spirit.

.

Not to mention that the Vanderbilt family, which had already enjoyed a European life, was currently sitting on the former railroad and had nothing to lose. The future steel magnate Carnegie also chose to cash out and hand over the business to Morgan.

A hundred years later in the Republic, when the two Internet giants started, they also asked many successful domestic people at the time for financing, but no one was willing to invest. Rebus even rejected them both, and Li Chaoren's son cashed out and left.

, I regretted it all the time in the days that followed.

Another half month later, after buying up all the Coca-Cola shares on the market, Sheffield officially invited Kandler to Chicago to meet him in the name of Rockefeller, and even stole a copy of Edith Rockefeller's photo.

invitation.

"Obviously he is a cute child, but why does the promotional video look like a ghost? Can't we hire some professional photographers?" Edith Rockefeller held up a promotional poster for Coca-Cola and kept complaining.

Sheffield was hesitant to say anything. First of all, he must say that Edith Rockefeller was right. This promotional poster indeed showed three children in sailor uniforms, which looked very strange. He saw this historical propaganda on the Internet in his previous life.

I was also shocked by the photo, but what can be done? The photography technology of this era is such a ghost.

There are very few people who can take photos that look better than the person they are. Even Edith Rockefeller herself, although she was not a stunning beauty, the photos she took were mediocre.

"Maybe it's because of cost considerations!" Sheffield grabbed the eye-catching promotional photo, which also said in English, "We all love to drink Coca-Cola!" With the weird child's face, it is indeed uncomfortable.

Humph! Edith Rockefeller snorted, obviously still angry about Sheffield's behavior. The reason was that this coward used his own invitation to invite Kandler.

"Isn't that because the Rockefeller family's brand name is louder than mine? I am a farmer who works hard in the south. Naturally, I don't have much popularity. I am afraid that people will not come if I use my name. Your family is different. Who in the United States does not know about the oil kingdom now?

The person who controls it? He’s more famous than the farmer like me! You’re saying, you’ve benefited so much from me, and it doesn’t matter if you spit it out now!” Seeing Edith Rockefeller’s unswerving expression, Sheffield hurriedly said good things.

, lowered his voice and said ambiguously, "No problem, I'll work harder at night and take care of you."

"It's not like you took advantage in vain and pretended to be like an ascetic!" Edith Rockefeller clearly received the signal, pretending to be indifferent, but a flush flashed across her cheeks.

This princess of the Rockefeller family, who is actually a woman with little knowledge, actually got angry because of the invitation issue. It seems that the family she came from has successfully made her eat meat.

Coca-Cola is not comparable to the copycat product of Pepsi-Cola. Don’t underestimate the ten years it took to start, which can already determine many things. Acquired Coca-Cola stocks on the market. Then we discussed the invitation issued in the name of Rockefeller.

For Kandler himself, he was actually very excited about the upcoming meeting. After all, he was invited by the Rockefeller family. But after meeting Sheffield, he became even more excited and quickly held Sheffield's hand without letting go.

"Do you know me?" Sheffield asked strangely. His guess was correct. The Rockefeller family was more famous.

"Mr. Sheffield, my factory is in Atlanta." Kandler spoke enthusiastically, expressing his kindness to the boy who was much younger than himself, "The first branch factory is in Dallas!"

Dixie man? Sheffield suddenly realized that if he had known better, he would not have sent invitations in the name of Edith Rockefeller. To the citizens of the South, his family's name was more useful than the name of the Rockefeller family, and now he owed a favor in vain.

, I have to pay it back in the evening.

The early history of Coca-Cola was that it was constantly being resold, and Kandler was just a passer-by. He was no more difficult to deal with than Kolbe Bradham, nor did he foresee the potential of Coca-Cola, and he was also ready to cash out and leave.

But this day came earlier than he expected.

Big fish eat small fish. Sheffield and Edith Rockefeller just started talking about mergers and acquisitions. The rest is to evaluate the value of Coca-Cola. Considering that the sales network is already large, Coca-Cola’s valuation is far behind Pepsi-Cola.
