448. Milk Tea Recipe
The director of Litton China is an American, a fat white man named Smith. At this time, he was sitting in front of Heidi and constantly sweating. // //
In fact, although he is given the title of Litton Chinese Director, he can't even be considered a nonsense in front of Heidi, the executive director of Unilever.
You should know that Unilever is a behemoth spanning more than 70 countries around the world. It has fourteen branches in design daily necessities, chemical and catering industries. Each company has branches in many countries around the world. In front of Heidi, the director of a not-so-successful branch is like a nine-grade magistrate holding a sword of Shangfang.
Heidi has the power to kill him in his hands. For such a person, although he is a beauty who can make people saliva, he can't have such thoughts at all, so he can only sit there and keep sweating.
In fact, Smith is also a bad guy. He was originally a technical engineer and used to specialize in tea beverage formulas. However, in recent years, Lipton has been struggling to develop the Chinese market and has suffered repeated failures. This has made Unilever very dissatisfied. He has changed players several times in a row. In the end, there was no way, so he pushed him up.
In fact, he also knew that he was just a temporary excessive role. When there was a suitable candidate in the headquarters, he would definitely be replaced.
But he was still unwilling to step down in shame.
As Lipton's director in China, it's like a local emperor. Although his salary is only twice as much as he did when he was in the United States. It's less than 100,000 US dollars. But the key is that he sits in this position. He has very large resources and great power.
For example, the delivery channels operated with Pepsi, and various benefits, such as living in a high-end apartment rented by the company, and the Chinese beauties who are throwing their arms around. The most important thing is the kickbacks you can get when purchasing, etc.
Although the salary for this position is only more than 80,000 US dollars, if those invisible benefits and kickbacks are added, he will earn more than 200,000 US dollars in the past year.
The Liton Chinese country's operating conditions in China are not good now, and the above are already very dissatisfied with this part. I heard that business policy adjustments are being brewed, and the possibility of another replacement cannot be ruled out.
So he was thinking whether he would make a good fortune before the company's new policy and his successor appeared, and then he would go to the United States to retire.
But the sudden appearance of Heidi shocked him. He is not a senior figure of Lipton, but an executive director of Unilever behind Lipton. This shows that her status is not good, and she has a higher status in Unilever than Lipton's boss. How dare he not serve such a person well?
Looking at the Smith opposite, who kept taking out a handkerchief to sweat, Li Yifan felt a little funny. Heidi was already weak just by posing in a queen style. It seems that this cooperation should not be too much hindered.
"Mr. Smith, the proposal of the headquarters to acquire Jinghua Tea Corporation and Jinghua Tea Processing Factory is you!"
Smith's heart suddenly shook, and then immediately replied: "Yes, it's me."
In fact, he was the one who proposed the big family affection card like the head office, otherwise it would not be his turn to be the director of Litton China.
"However, since the company acquired Jinghua Tea Corporation last year and launched Jinghua brand instant tea bags with Jinghua Tea Processing Factory, the sales status of Litton Huaguo in China does not seem to have improved rapidly as quickly as you said, turning losses into profits!?"
The cold sound from Heidi's throat made Smith feel like he was trembling all over. After finishing my house, my money, the villa I bought in Florida, I only paid the down payment, and I still have tens of thousands of loans to pay back every year. Now if I lose my job, the house will be over...
After all, my sunshine, beach, villa, and countless beauties in bikini...
When Smith thought of this, she felt like she was shaking all over and sweating...
"Miss Heidi, I need time. We completed the acquisition at the end of 1999, and then the technology has become more obvious, including production equipment installation and debugging, etc. It was not until the second half of last year that we officially started construction..."
Faced with Heidi's questioning, Smith could only find a reasonable excuse for himself as much as possible.
"Forget it, Mr. Smith, even if you started production in the second half of last year, it has been more than a year since then, and the operating conditions of Litton China have not improved?"
Heidi's words were heartbroken. At this time, Smith had the heart to kill him, but in the face of Heidi's reproach, he was completely helpless. It is true that Litton's country is in a bad situation now. If the people above came down to check the accounts, he might go directly to prison...
Smith was already a little restless at this time. What he was most afraid of at this time was that Heidi said that he would go to the headquarters of Lipton in the United States. In that case, he had to run away because he did charge kickbacks in China's domestic tea acquisition this year, and the company's accounts were not very clean.
"Haha, but Mr. Smith, don't worry. I was not sent to inspect the headquarters. I don't care much about your current business conditions. I have something else to do with you today."
After giving Smith a heavy killing stick, Heidi changed his smile, and Smith was relieved at this time. No wonder, if the headquarters above sent someone to inspect, why didn't he receive any news?
Even if a big man like Heidi comes to China, it is not his turn. Perhaps the general representative of Unilever in China has to come here to flatter her. No matter how bad it is, Dove, such an agent, and compared with those people, he really can't get the top spot...
"I don't know, Miss Heidi, what's wrong with you coming here today?"
As soon as he heard that he had nothing to do, the fat white man was energetic, he saved his job, his job was not smashed, and he still had hope in his villa in Florida. So the rest of the matter must be served. Maybe if he handles his relationship with this queen well, his position can be more stable?
When Smith thought of this, he was a little excited and quickly started thinking about how to flatter the queen.
"Mr. Smith, if I remember correctly, you were a tea drink recipe before, right?"
Heidi picked up the coffee beside her and took a sip. She was charming in an instant, which made Smith feel hot, but facing this queen, he quickly suppressed his wrong thoughts.
“Yes, I had been working in Lipton’s tea drink recipe laboratory before I came to China.”
When talking about his old career, Smith couldn't help but lift his chest up. He really had reason to be proud of this. He participated in Lipton's milk tea recipe and the research and development of iced tea beverages, and also made considerable contributions. Otherwise, he would not have jumped from a technical worker to a manager.
"Okay, my friend, just want to make tea drinks, especially milk tea, so I hope you can give him some advice."
What is your opinion? Isn't it just a recipe? Smith is very clear in his mind, but when he can't tell it in person, the recipe for this tea drink is actually a big copy of so many tea drinks in the world. You copied mine and I was copying yours. There is really no secret. Although everyone has applied for patents, these patents are not very useful, because those recipes can be missed by a little slight adjustment, and the taste of the tea drinks produced is actually similar.
This was no longer a secret when Smith was engaged in tea drink recipes.
Li Yifan also invited several milk tea preparation technicians from Baodao through Fatty Wang to help prepare milk tea of various states. However, in his opinion, he did not have any psychological pressure at all.
After all, Lipton’s bagged instant milk tea once occupied the position of the overlord of the domestic milk tea market, which shows that their milk tea still has its own unique taste. So getting a recipe from them is also a reference for their beverage factory.
Moreover, Lipton has been overpromoting such instant milk tea in the West, Europe and the United States. It has been more than a year and a half, but has a very long history. Therefore, they have very rich experience in this regard, so it is inevitable that they can learn from it yourself.
Smith is a very sensible person. Although he doesn't understand who the young man sitting next to Heidi was, he has long noticed the intimate attitude Heidi showed when talking to the young Chinese man.
He saw that the relationship between the two must be extraordinary, so in order to please Heidi, it would be no big deal to buy benefits like this person.
After figuring this truth, Smith immediately became quite unconventional.
