The negotiation team was hired by the third uncle, Zhang Yuannan, and soon began formal negotiations with Coca-Cola.

Hearing that some people want to invest, several shareholders of Coca-Cola do not want to dilute their shares, but are clamoring to sell all their shares, and the most active of them is Frank Robinson Jr., the son of Coca-Cola veterans.

Robinson Sr. was a crappy painter in his youth, working part-time as an accountant at a friend's pharmacy. The owner of that pharmacy was none other than John Bombardon, the inventor of Coca-Cola. And the name and trademark of Coca-Cola are also from the hands of Robinson, a crappy painter.

Coca-Cola's recipe became more and more popular after two pharmacists adjusted it, and Robinson Sr. became the real power of Coca-Cola in the 1910s.

But the elder Robinson didn't know how to run at all, and was gradually seized by the Ganttor family. At that time, he was discouraged and had already had the idea of selling his shares, but when the two rebels of the Ganttdo family rebelled, Coca-Cola was bought and listed by the Woodruff family, and Robinson Sr. somehow became a millionaire.

Over the years, the elder Robinson has not been concerned about business affairs at all, and has only eaten the company's dividends with peace of mind. By 1940, Robinson Jr., who inherited the shares, was already old, and his sons were also making trouble dividing the family property, and Robinson Jr. just wanted to sell his shares and enjoy his old age in peace.

Before Zhou Hexuan's negotiation team could negotiate a result, Robinson Jr. came to the door privately and was willing to sell his equity alone. But this guy is completely crazy, after many sell-offs, he only has a 3.2% stake in Coca-Cola in his hands, and he dares to ask for $20 million - which is directly one-third higher than the market price.

Then, the two rebels of the Ganttdo family also contacted Zhou Hexuan privately, offering to sell their 8.7% and 6.5% stakes, asking for $60 million and $50 million, respectively.

One by one, they all regarded Zhou Hexuan as a wronged leader who was willing to take over.

It's normal to buy at a premium, but Coca-Cola's stake is inflated, and a third or more premium would be too much.

Zhou Hexuan easily revealed the conditions privately proposed by the three shareholders to Woodruff. Woodruff was extremely angry and paralyzed by this, did the shareholders take him as the helm seriously if they were playing private deals behind the back of the board of directors?

Well, Woodruff's asking price was higher, and he offered to sell at a 50% premium, citing Coca-Cola's performance on the rise.

Woodruff's confidence in Coca-Cola lies in one of his mistakes.

When the economic crisis was about to erupt, Woodruff also sensed the danger and decided to cash out. He announced a stock split at the height of the stock price, followed by the sale of another 6,600 shares of Coca-Cola. After a series of operations, Coca-Cola's stock price plummeted by 60%, only to rebound during the Great Depression.

Even during the Great Depression, Coca-Cola's stock price could rise, what else in the world could not be done? From then on, Woodruff was empty-eyed and domineering.

The two sides talked for half a month, but there was no progress in the fart, and Zhou Hexuan finally got serious. He compiled a report on the Coca-Cola hack materials he had collected with his money, as well as Coca-Cola's situation in Europe, and threatened to give it to the Wall Street Journal as a gift.

It doesn't matter if the black material is there, there are more lice and no itching, and Woodruff has long been numb.

Coca-Cola has a lot of black materials, and this thing was first sold as a headache potion, and later claimed to have aphrodisiac effects. In the 20s, he also teamed up with the mafia and sold it at a high price in the mafia's store.

Most of the mafia stores are under the guise that the real means of making money is gambling, and almost every store has a basement to do casinos. At that time, Coca-Cola contained the drug cocaine, and there were caffeine and other stimulants, and gamblers could gamble for several days and nights in a row after drinking it, which made the mafia regard Coca-Cola as a money-making magic water.

In the past, Coca-Cola not only had cocaine, but also contained alcohol, and was once approached by prohibitions. By the 30s, the government was tightening its grip on beverages, and public opinion was set off from Europe to the United States. Coca-Cola had to develop a new formula that eliminated cocaine and alcohol and lowered the caffeine ratio, but even then many people resisted it.

An important reason for the anti-Coca-Cola group is that Coca-Cola can bring sexual arousal and is not suitable for children to use. This is pure nonsense, it was all Coca-Cola itself that made it, who let them promote Coke as an aphrodisiac before.

Zhou Hexuan added a new content to the black material, and he spent money to buy some medical experts to prove that Coca-Cola will affect calcium absorption, which can easily lead to osteoporosis, and pregnant women drinking it has a serious impact on the fetus.

Of course, the content is true, but the experimental data and results are fabricated, who doubts that you can experiment on your own.

The most ruthless thing is to announce the situation of Coca-Cola in Germany, if shareholders know that Coca-Cola's factory in Germany is completely finished, and the occupation zone in Germany is also finished, then Coca-Cola's stock price will definitely plummet.

Under the threat of black materials, Woodruff finally relented slightly, but still failed to meet Zhou Hexuan's expectations.

Just as the two sides continued to negotiate, Robinson Jr. may have been afraid that Zhou Hexuan would really expose unfavorable news, or he may have been short of money, so he suddenly sold 10,000 shares, causing Coca-Cola's stock price to drop by $4.

Woodruff was furious, but he had no choice but to negotiate further with Zhou's team.

It was time to talk about the Lunar New Year, and the two sides finally reached an agreement.

First, Robinson Jr. sold all the remaining shares to Zhou Hexuan, and then Woodruff and other shareholders announced a stock split, and Zhou Hexuan injected capital to take over. In the middle, Wall Street traders were also invited to suppress and pull up a series of operations, and the major shareholders joined forces to harvest a wave of shareholders.

Anyway, no one suffered, except for small shareholders.

Zhou Hexuan invested $60 million from start to finish, acquired an 11.5% stake in Coca-Cola, became the company's second largest shareholder, and made a lot of money while harvesting shareholders.

It stands to reason that Zhou Hexuan can't come up with so much money, and he relies on Durex to finally go public.

Just a few days after New Year's Day, Durex went public under the manipulation of the doctor's consortium. Zhou Hexuan's shares accounted for only 17.4% (part of the cash-out), but his net worth has directly increased by more than eight times, and it is still rising.

For a hands-off shopkeeper like Zhou Hexuan, whether it is Durex or Coca-Cola, they are all golden jobs that lie down and receive dividends. When the United States intervenes in the war, the pharmaceutical companies on the British side will definitely go public, and they will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives anyway.
