"Of course, if you are interested, these recipes are nothing. I'll transfer them to you for free."

Smith said this very beautifully, but in fact it was only after repeated consideration.

In fact, if another American would have changed to another American, he would definitely discuss with Li Yifan about repaying the formula patent, but Smith would not dare to do so.

First of all, Heidi, who was sitting opposite, would not agree. He was a noble person in charge of his life and death. Secondly, his butt was not clean, for fear that if he talked to Li Yifan, if he annoyed Heidi, he would be in trouble.

The third is that the recipe for this tea drink is not a big secret. As long as Li Yifan is willing to spend money, he can't get any recipe.

So after considering it, Smith decided that it would be better to buy Heidi for him. If he could get a relationship with Heidi because of this benefit, it would be of great benefit to his future career.

When Heidi saw Smith's trip like this, he was very happy, but he didn't show too much attention. He just smiled and nodded at Smith. Smith was so happy that he could get the approval of the company's executive director, then he would have taken the right step.

"gentlemen……"

"My surname is Li, please call me Mr. Li."

Li Yifan looked at the fat man with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Li, see when it will be convenient for you. Then I can send my recipes to you by email."

Paperless office has become popular in the United States these days. Many companies have equipped computers and everyone has started using Yimeier. However, in China, there is no such condition. Even if many foreign companies are equipped with computers, they can only play within their own companies, because the construction of networks in China has not yet begun on a large scale.

"Okay, I'll leave my company's mailing address to you. I'm really bothering you Mr. Smith."

Li Yifan still showed the humility that Chinese people had, which made Smith feel very comfortable.

"Okay, I'll sort out the information and mail it to you."

This matter has basically been settled, and then Heidi nodded and began to move to the next step.

"Mr. Smith, you Liton China has been in the Chinese market for nine years now. By next year, it will probably be ten years. But so far, you have not made much progress and are in a loss almost every year. I have checked the marketing performance of Liton China. It seems that in addition to having a good situation for one or two years, you have been in a loss state in recent times. Although Liton has performed very well in the entire group and is making profits every year, in China, the largest market in the world, you have actually achieved a loss state in a loss state every year. This is really not easy!"

Heidi's tone was a little sarcastic, but at this time, Smith, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly became nervous again. In fact, he received a call from Puhai to the capital, and then accepted the executive director of Unilever to find out that he had been in a state of uneasiness in his heart. After all, what they said was right. In the past nine years, their performance in China, Litton's country can only be described as mediocre.

"Ms. Heidi, in recent years, the pockets of consumers in all countries around the world have shrunk significantly due to the impact of the financial crisis. In China, although this is the largest tea consumption market in the world, the competition here is also very fierce. The competitors we face are very strong, not only some tea companies in China, but also a series of competitors such as Nestlé, Delicious, Pepsi and so on..."

When Smith talked about these shirks responsibility, of course, he had prepared a lot of rhetoric. From the international financial crisis, to the domestic economic situation, to the competitors, it was all objective reasons, that is, there was no subjective reason...

Heidi just listened to his explanation without interrupting his speech. Seeing this situation, Smith could only sweat more and more coldly on her head...

"Mr. Smith, no matter what, the achievements you have made in China have made the board of directors of the headquarters very dissatisfied. I, including me, are also very dissatisfied with your achievements..."

"Miss Heidi, I've really tried my best..."

"I know, you have made the best efforts. I have seen all these, but they can't see those people on the board of directors of the headquarters, so don't you think you should change your mind?"

"Change your thinking? How to change it?"

Smith asked Heidi with a little confusion.

"Change your thinking, you don't think you should find a long-term partner in China to study specifically what kind of products you will receive welcome from Chinese consumers? How to win the market? Will you solve your problem?"

Heidi said, and Smith was already trembling at this time, and the knife was really fierce.

In fact, before, especially before acquiring Jinghua Tea Company and the Jinghua Tea Factory, Lipton did not consider finding a Chinese partner to jointly develop the Chinese market. Unfortunately, because they were really rich and too arrogant before, and it was Smith's lead in opposing it at that time that this idea failed to take shape.

What Heidi said now is very simple, that is, they want them to find a suitable partner and then discuss joint ventures. This is exactly what Smith is most reluctant to see, because in this way, his authority in Litton China will be greatly restricted. In the future, the income from this part will not be guaranteed.

It's tragic enough to say that among the directors of many brands in China, his pure salary has the lowest annual income. Although many other people have similar annual salary, they have better results in the sales bonus at the end of the year.

However, what people buy is the kind that has no strong competitors in China, such as laundry detergent, shampoo, soap and other products. These products have no major competitors in China, and the second is that they use a large amount. Although the competition is fierce, they also invest a lot in advertising, so they don’t have to worry about their product sales. Every year at the end of the year, they will receive hundreds of thousands or even millions of dividends. But what about them?

What I do is the most competitive tea business in China. Chinese people are originally the ancestors of tea making tea drinkers. What area do they use to compete with others?

It's really unlucky. If it weren't for the external rebates and kickbacks, he would have long since wanted to continue working in this stressful position.

But now Heidi's words are about to take action against Litton China, which makes Smith, who is already counting on foreign rebates, accept it?

"Hedi, Miss, our business situation has improved a little now. Look, can you give us some more time?"

"Advance? You talk to me about the improvement? How much did you spend to buy green camellia in Hangzhou in March? In the past July and August, you have been losing more than 500,000 yuan every month, and there is even a trend of increasing losses in the next few months. Do you still talk to me about the improvement? What qualifications do you have to talk to me about the improvement?"

Heidi said this coldly, and Smith, who was sitting opposite him, felt like she was sitting in an ice cave. Although it was early August outside, it was the hottest sauna day in the year in the capital, Smith, who was sitting here, felt that the sweat on her head was like a waterfall, and she kept staying there, and she couldn't stop it...

His braid was already in someone's hands...

"Smith, don't worry too much. I know you've made a lot of efforts in China. Let's do this. After you go back, you send a report to the company headquarters to the headquarters. Then I will ask Lipton to hold a board meeting to discuss the issue of Lipton's reform. We can't sit here and continue to lose money. Mr. Li, he happened to run a tea beverage factory. Their family has been running tea business for generations, and he also wanted to make this business bigger. I think you might as well discuss it with him while you have time recently, and then discuss the development issues of Lipton in the future..."

Damn, love is to treat me as a gun? It is to package Litton's country and give it to you this battle, right?

Smith looked at Heidi who was speaking righteously across the street and cursed in his heart, but he still agreed obediently.

Large companies like Unilever have 300,000 employees worldwide, and there are fourteen world-renowned commonly used consumer goods brands below, and there are countless other small brands, so they always involve all kinds of struggles.

As one of these fourteen well-known brands, Lipton was a system that was acquired later, so the company was a natural lineage. If it were not for Smith's restructuring report, the headquarters would not be easy to interfere.

With Smith's report, Heidi could openly enter Lipton to discuss the issue of restructuring. To put it bluntly, it was to sell Lipton's country to Li Yifan and follow the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in that year...

All I can do is throw the package and pick up bargains...
