Chapter 29

PS: New book is tough, please collect and recommend!

The next morning, Yang Jie, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by Jimmy's knocking at the door. Struggling to get up, he opened the door and let Jimmy in. After Jimmy entered the room, Yang Jie lay back down on the bed, not treating Jimmy as a distinguished guest at all.

Yang Jie's unconscious behavior greatly pleased Jimmy. Having been in business for a long time, he was accustomed to scheming and had experienced the vicissitudes of life. Everyone who approached him did so to flatter him and for his money. Only Yang Jie, despite knowing him for only a day or two, gave him a sense of genuine, non-utilitarian friendship.

"Jie, you're really not being fair! Wasn't Jameson arrested by the police yesterday? You went back to the county and didn't even tell me! If I hadn't called Jameson this morning, I wouldn't have known that the two functional wines you made were so amazing!" Jimmy shook Yang Jie, who was lying in bed, and spoke excitedly.

Yang Jie, woken up by Jimmy's pushing, was no longer sleepy. He opened his eyes and looked at Jimmy sitting by the bed. "Jimmy, the effects of the functional wines are absolutely undeniable. No matter what you think, I'm determined to do this project. I've already prepared to hire a lawyer to register the domestic patent in China, and I will apply for international patents soon."

No one in the Red Maple Stone Group's upper management was unaware of Jameson's impotence. After drinking the aphrodisiac wine Yang Jie made, Jameson couldn't resist going out to find a prostitute, and even more surprisingly, he found two at once. Lauren, the lawyer, was very cautious in his words and actions. Even Lauren said that Yang Jie's blood pressure-lowering wine was very effective, and his blood pressure remained stable after drinking it, not rising at all.

Hearing the real experiences of his two subordinates undoubtedly made Jimmy very excited about the effects of the two functional wines and the potential economic impact after production.

"Jie, Lauren can help you with the application for international patents. As long as you sign a patent application authorization, he can have the law firm in Italy help you apply for international patents through fax," Jimmy suggested with a smile when he heard Yang Jie wanted to apply for patents.

"Jimmy, if so, then please have Lauren help me apply for the patents!" Yang Jie said, sitting up and putting on his clothes. He looked seriously at Jimmy, who was smiling but silent. "Regarding the functional wine project, my idea is for the Wuhu Distillery and Red Maple Group to form a joint venture, with the Wuhu Distillery as the core, to establish a functional liquid production center.

The functional additives needed for the functional wines will be produced at the Wuhu Distillery. In Wuhu County, we will plan and build a new development zone, leveraging the county's road and railway transportation advantages to set up the blending and bottling production base in the county's development zone.

In the future, my brother-in-law's pharmaceutical company, which focuses on hangover remedies, will also be located in the development zone. I hope that in the near future, the Wuhu County Development Zone will become a large development zone centered on the research and production of functional beverages, biochemical pharmaceuticals, and related ancillary industries."

Listening to Yang Jie's blueprint, Jimmy's eyes sparkled, and he nodded in strong agreement. To be honest, whether it was the functional wines or the hangover remedies, Jimmy wanted to invest and take shares. Given the miraculous effects of these products, it was foreseeable that once they hit the market, they would cause a huge sensation and sales boom.

A successful businessman's success lies not only in being able to seize business opportunities but also in being willing to take big risks to seize those opportunities. Jimmy was a very successful businessman, with a keen eye for business and a talent for discovering opportunities and making big investments.

Although it was not yet known whether the functional wines and hangover remedies had any side effects, based on the current information, these two projects were already worth a significant investment and a bold risk for Jimmy.

"Jie, I've decided to invest heavily in the functional wines and hangover remedies. Regardless of the test results, I'm willing to take the risk. What do you think?" Jimmy looked earnestly at Yang Jie, firmly making his decision.

"Jimmy, aren't you afraid of losing all your investment?" Yang Jie smiled at Jimmy.

"Scared! But I'm more afraid of missing a good opportunity and watching it pass by without seizing it!" Jimmy smiled, extending his right hand. Yang Jie smiled in response and shook hands with Jimmy. The two laughed heartily.

"Alright! Since you've decided to invest, let's discuss the related investments and share distribution!" Yang Jie and Jimmy didn't leave the room but sat on Yang Jie's bed. Although it seemed hasty, their expressions were very serious.

"The core of the functional wines and hangover remedies projects is the formulas. Without the formulas, having only funds is useless. With the formulas, without a large amount of capital to develop and rapidly expand the market, we would also miss the opportunity. Therefore, our cooperation can be considered a strong alliance.

Let's start with the functional wines project. The core of this project is the blood pressure-lowering wine and the aphrodisiac wine. The production of both functional wines involves adding functional liquid to ordinary white wine, blending and dissolving it, and then bottling it for sale. Therefore, we need a factory specifically for producing functional liquid and a large blending and bottling production base.

The Wuhu Distillery is located in Wuhu Township, and the workers are all villagers from Yang Village, who are basically trustworthy. The factory and equipment are already in place, and we only need to replace the original white wine brewing equipment with equipment for producing functional liquid.

Therefore, my suggestion is to produce the functional liquid at the Wuhu Distillery and set up the blending and bottling base in the county. The entire project can be divided into three phases. The first phase will involve the transformation of the Wuhu Distillery's functional liquid production line and the establishment of the blending and bottling base in the county. The investment in fixed assets will be around 200 million yuan, plus raw material procurement and other related costs, totaling about 300 million yuan.

The second and third phases will involve expanding production capacity and developing derivative products when the functional wines are in high demand and the market is short of supply. We don't need to consider the investment costs for now." Yang Jie's analysis and ideas were highly praised by Jimmy. An investment of 300 million yuan was not much, considering the need to install new production lines, build blending and bottling bases, and purchase raw materials, with an annual production capacity of at least 50,000 tons of functional wines.

"Jie, I will invest 50 million US dollars in the Wuhu Distillery, taking 49% of the shares in the new Wuhu Distillery. The Wuhu Distillery will contribute the formulas for the two functional wines and all its current fixed assets to the new distillery, taking 51% of the shares.

However, I have one condition: the global sales agency rights for the functional wines outside of China will be exclusively handled by me." As soon as Jimmy spoke, Yang Jie shook his head, disagreeing with his proposal.

"50 million US dollars can only take 30% of the shares in the new company. For the exclusive agency rights in Europe and America, you will have the right of first refusal, but given that you are a shareholder, the company will waive the agency fees for the first three years. After three years, the agency rights will be auctioned off." Yang Jie knew that the core of the functional wines was the formulas. If not for needing to leverage Jimmy's foreign business identity and his connections worldwide, Yang Jie, with Xiao Wu's help, would not have wanted to share the profits with Jimmy.

Jimmy thought for a moment, then looked up, his eyes shining with determination. "Alright! Let's do it your way, but the management and marketing of the new distillery will be handled by my appointed personnel."

"Agreed!" Yang Jie smiled and extended his hand.

"Agreed!" Jimmy shook Yang Jie's hand, finally showing a happy smile.

Yang Xinhua, a military man by background, had no experience in management or sales. Leading a small factory with over 200 people was manageable, but leading a large enterprise with assets exceeding 1 billion yuan and over 1,000 employees would be a disaster.

Yang Jie, Yang Xinhua's son, knew his father's capabilities well. Therefore, he fully supported Jimmy's request to appoint personnel for management and marketing. After all, Yang Xinhua was the chairman, and as long as he managed the production of the functional liquid and grasped the overall direction, he didn't need to handle specific matters personally.

"Jie, should we change the name of the new company? The name 'Wuhu' is too local. It's fine within the region, but in the Chinese and global markets, it's a bit..." Jimmy thought for a moment and was not very fond of the name 'Wuhu Distillery.'

"Let's call it 'Five Oceans Distillery'! I hope that Five Oceans Distillery will sell fine wines all over the world and become a sea of wine beyond the four oceans. Wuhu Liquor will become a high-end white wine brand under Five Oceans Distillery, a way to remember our roots," Yang Jie said, feeling a surge of inspiration and spontaneously suggesting the name 'Five Oceans.'

Jimmy nodded, satisfied with the meaning behind 'Five Oceans.' "Five Oceans Distillery is great! The new company will be called Five Oceans. I hope that Five Oceans will truly become the fifth ocean of the world, rooted in wine."
