Chapter 469: Sports Drink
Knock knock!
Someone knocking on the door pulled Tang Hao’s thoughts back to the present.
He turned around and sat in front of his table. “Come in!” He shouted.
Liu Yan opened the door and walked in.
“Chairman!” She greeted him.
“Please sit down!” Tang Hao said with a smile as he pointed at the chair in front of him. “How is it your first day? Are you used to your new position?”
Liu Yan smiled. “It’s not bad! It’s just that I feel a bigger responsibility now. This is a group of companies and not just a single company like before.”
As the most veteran employee of Haotian Co. Ltd., Liu Yan was promoted to be the president of Haotian Group. She was placed in charge of all the subsidiary companies.
Meanwhile, Haotian Co. Ltd. promoted a veteran employer as its manager.
As Liu Yan spoke, she seemed excited.
The first reason was because of her promotion. She had never dreamed of being the president of a group of companies.
Secondly, she was still excited about the incident the night before. She did not expect that Tang Hao managed to invite not only the leaders of the district, but also the higher-ups in the province, and even important people from the Capital.
She was utterly shocked when she saw those VIPs, but at the same time, she was excited.
With such strong connections, the group would definitely thrive. Moreover, the group’s products had no competition in the market. The potential of the companies was limitless.
Perhaps one day, Haotian Group shall stand among the biggest conglomerates in the country.
She was extremely excited when she thought of that.
She was talking about the group’s prospects with Shi Yiwen, Yao Qing, and the other managers at the dinner party the night before.
All of the other managers were very confident about the group’s future too.
Tang Hao smiled. “Of course you have a bigger responsibility now. We’re a group of companies!”
“Right, Chairman Tang, do you have something to discuss with me? I happen to have the companies’ reports with me, and I also want to discuss the group’s future projections with you,” Liu Yan said.
“I wanted to discuss with you about the group’s future too. Let’s hear about the reports first!”
“Alright!” Liu Yan replied. She took out some documents and handed them to Tang Hao.
“We currently have five subsidiary companies under Haotian Group. These are the quarterly financial reports of Haotian Health Products, Masculine Wind, Divine Liquor, and New Magical Kitchen.
“Look at the profits column. After we increased the factories’ production capacity, Haotian Health Products netted one hundred and fifty million yuan in profit last quarter. That is a fifty percent increase from the one hundred million yuan in the previous quarter.
“Masculine Wind Health Products performed spectacularly too. It earned one hundred and thirty million yuan in the past quarter. The aphrodisiac is too popular. Every man needs it, no matter if they are young or old.
“It’s being crowned as every man’s miracle cure!”
Liu Yan chuckled when she said that.
Tang Hao also laughed. He had been paying close attention to the news on the Internet. Some people have even called the inventor of the medicine the Masculine Cult Leader.
Tang Hao thought that the nickname was quite weird.
“Please continue!” Tang Hao said.
“Next is Divine Liquor Company. The company has been operational for only about three months. Its scale isn’t as big as the previous two, but it’s growing strong.
“The profit for the past three months is almost seventy million yuan.
“Finally, New Magical Kitchen’s profits are quite significant. The profits for the past quarter is almost one hundred million yuan.
“If this trend of growth continues, the yearly profits for our group is estimated at two billion yuan. It’s quite impressive, considering that we only started Haotian Co. Ltd. less than a year ago.”
Tang Hao nodded in agreement.
A yearly profit of two billion was perhaps loose change for the biggest conglomerates in the country.
Those conglomerates earned at least tens of billions every year.
However, it was already quite impressive for a newly formed group.
Liu Yan handed him several more reports and briefly updated him with the latest happenings in each company.
“Masculine Wind and New Magical Kitchen can continue with what they’re doing. However, I was thinking of several product innovations for Haotian Health Products and Divine Liquor Company,” Tang Hao said.
“Innovations?” Liu Yan was surprised.
“Just like you mentioned before. We can introduce different tiers of products for different markets,” Tang Hao said.
Liu Yan nodded.
She had suggested catering their products to different markets. However, the company’s priority back then was to increase production capacity, which was why the suggestion was shelved.
“I’m also thinking of introducing a few more products soon. One of them is a healthcare tonic, another is a sobriety potion, and finally, a hair growth medicine. They will all go under the Masculine Wind banner.
“I’d also like to start another company too.”
“What company?” Liu Yan was surprised.
“Beverage!” Tang Hao said matter-of-factly.
The beverage company under Yu Lin Group was its biggest contributor, even more so than its restaurant chain.
Taking over Yu Lin Group’s share in the beverage market would be a huge blow to them.
“Oh, and it will be a sports drink that can replenish one’s energy,” Tang Hao added.
Liu Yan’s expression changed imperceptibly. She understood what Tang Hao was trying to do.
She was good friends with Han Yutong, and she knew about the situation with her and Yu Lin Group. Moreover, Tang Hao had asked her to investigate Yu Lin Group’s background.
Now that New Magical Kitchen had taken the market share of Yu Lin Group’s Spring Brook, it was time to attack Yu Lin Group’s other subsidiaries.
“Is there something?”
“No. You have my full support, Chairman Tang! That Han Chenglin isn’t a man at all for abandoning his wife and daughter just so that he could chase after wealth and fame. He deserves to be bankrupted.”
“That’s good!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
“I’ll start sourcing for a new location for the factory and prepare the necessary paperwork. Right, that sports drink...”
“I haven’t concocted it yet, but it won’t take long,” Tang Hao said.
They talked about official business for a while more before Liu Yan left the office.
Tang Hao was very busy in the next few days. He had to concoct the sports drink as soon as possible.
His sports drink needed to have amazing effects so that it could take over the market by storm.
A sports drink should replenish the body’s lost fluids and nutrients quickly.
Tang Hao devised many prescriptions based on those two functions. After several rounds of continuous improvements, he eventually settled on a prescription. As for the name, he thought for a long time and decided on ‘Vitality’.
Vitality Sports Drink was made of all-natural herbs. Not only could it quickly replenish lost fluids, it could also restore one’s energy instantly. Even if you ran for a few kilometers, one bottle of Vitality Sports Drink could make you feel instantly energized. The effects were nothing short of miraculous.
He handed some samples to Liu Dajun and the others, and they could not stop praising it.
“This is f*cking great! This is a miracle for men! It’ll go so well with the aphrodisiac!” Liu Dajun said candidly.
“That’s right! Drink a bottle after you’re done in bed, and you’re good to go again!” President Li said.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes when he heard that. That was supposed to be a sports drink. How did they find alternative uses for it so quickly?
However, he thought about it and realized that in-bed activities could be considered sports too.
“Damn, why didn’t I think of that?” Tang Hao muttered to himself.
“Let me warn you, the effects of the drink and the aphrodisiac are only superficial, so you’d better not overdo it in bed. It’ll still cause you problems,” Tang Hao said.
Masculine Wind Aphrodisiac had minor medicinal effects, and it could not help someone who did not control himself in bed.
“Heheh! Lil Tang, when are you coming up with kidney medicine then? That’ll be the last thing we need!” Liu Dajun and the others smiled curiously.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes again.
He had the prescription for kidney medicine, but he was not going to release it that soon.
