Chapter 70 Soda and Beer
At this time, the dance hall in Shanghai has almost become an indispensable part of citizens' lives.
According to statistics, in 1990, excluding the dance halls of two foreign-related hotels, Blue Sky and Magnolia, the 17 dance halls in Yangpu District alone received a total of 1 million guests and had an operating income of 2 million yuan. By 1992, this number increased significantly.
You know, this is just Yangpu, which was "lower corner" back then, let alone the urban area with a stronger cultural and artistic atmosphere.
Therefore, this market is a must-fight for soda. In the past few days, soda sales have dropped, which has immediately attracted the attention of various soda factories in Shanghai.
You know, at this time, Shanghai was not all drinking local soda from Shanghai.
Foreign sodas include Coca-Cola and Sprite, sodas from the eight major state-owned soda factories in China, Shanghai Zhengguanghe, Beijing Arctic Ocean, Chenyang Bawang Temple, Tianjin Shanhaiguan, Qingdao Laoshan, Wuhan Bridge, Chongqing Tianfu Cola, Guangzhou Asian sodas, and Jianlibao, Xurisheng, etc. can also be found in the Shanghai market.
"Are Director Aman here?" Tao Aman just started working in the morning, and the director of Shanghai Soda Water Drinks Factory called over, "I heard that you have developed a beer with accent, which has made the dance hall no longer drink soda, but they have all changed to beer?"
Tao Aman is still in a fog. Like the old factory manager, he has never done market research. He has been staring at mid- and low-end restaurants and shops these days. In his impression, the dance hall is not the world of beer, but the world of soda.
"Director Han, I don't know..." Tao Aman wanted to say this, but he didn't say that. Now, he could think of it with his toes. This kind of beer with his toes is probably the masterpiece of his old classmate Qin Dong.
However, he felt guilty about counting other people's things on him, and of course he had to go to the scene to see them in person.
Speaking of Shanghai's soda, as a native of Shanghai Ning, Tao Aman has the most say.
Red Bao Orange Water! When I was a child, no matter whether it was spring or autumn outings, the children would bring a few boxes, and their tongues were red after drinking.
The green glass bottle has a slightly salty and sweet taste, and it tastes especially good after being chilled!
There are also the salt soda that Shanghai Ning loves to drink, Wumei Qi! Shanghai Ning knows Zhengguang and Xingfu Coke from Shanghai Soda Factory!
It is these soda that you like to drink in Ningxia, Shanghai. How could be the beer steal the limelight?
This is something Tao Aman couldn't understand.
When he rushed to a dance hall, unexpectedly, he did not meet the people from the Shanghai Soda Factory, but instead met the manager of Coca-Cola, and they also paid attention to the changes in the dance hall.
As foreign sodas, Coca-Cola and Sprite are very popular in Shanghai, but in the dance hall, the sales of Coca-Cola and Sprite have dropped sharply in the dance hall these days.
Although no one competed with Coca-Cola, they still came. It was normal to drink beer in foreign dance halls. In Chinese dance halls and Shanghai dance halls, the sales of beer are obviously not as good as soda.
"What beer do you drink? Where are your beer with accent?" Chinese, foreigners, breweries and soda factories have attached so much importance to the products of a brewery.
"There," the manager was not there, and the waiter took out two bottles of rhombus beer. "Now they all drink this kind of beer with accent, men drink it, and sometimes women drink it!"
Tao Aman's heart sank. Sure enough, the waiter gave him Rongya Beer.
Foreigners laughed. They watched Chinese beer repeatedly. In foreign dance halls, both men and women drank beer, but not many people drank soda.
"Why do women drink too?" Tao Aman couldn't help asking.
"This beer has a tone and will bring you good luck!" The waiter said casually, "It's just a tone that dances." She added.
Oh, isn't this beer? Where does the tone come from?
Tao Aman looked at the small bottle carefully. The bottle like a grenade had successfully exploded the dance hall market. Below, these grenades would definitely be thrown into his position.
The foreigner shook his head and left, and Tao Aman also left. When he returned to the factory, he immediately ordered to mobilize all the factory employees to throw Shanghai beer into the dance hall.
A total mobilization of employees in the factory!
A total mobilization of employees' families!
Mobilize family members, acquaintances, and friends to sell beer into the dance hall!
...
Tao Aman realized it later and caught up, but Zhong Xiaoyong was not idle either.
In recent years, he has been following Qin Dong and Luo Ling to compete in the market, and he has experienced it. In addition, he is willing to think about it and study well, so he has his own ideas in his heart.
"Brother Dongdi divided the market in Shanghai. We first opened the market for foreign companies. Let's subdivided the dance hall market again..."
Everyone looked at the newly appointed deputy manager of the Shanghai Division. Although Zhong Xiaoyong was still stuttering, he already had a certain temperament, which made people have to obey orders.
After the meeting, Wang Xinjun hurried to the Jibu Dance Hall of the Education Hall at No. 1 Yueyang Road. This place is often their first choice for educators.
In addition to enjoying dance ticket discounts, the free opening day for the 5-day period around Teacher's Day every year is also a small benefit.
Nie Xinming hurried to the dance hall of Luwan Science and Technology Museum, No. 526 Fuxing Middle Road, which carries a lot of science and technology, and the beautiful dance floor memories of medical workers are also the first choice for doctors to fall in love.
Because it is located in the city center and has convenient transportation, even if you open three shows in the morning, afternoon and night every day, there are still many dancers here.
Meng Guangsong brought people to the nightclub of Yunfeng Theater.
It is called the real "city never sleeps" and mainly dances with disco. Many pop singers have moved in. It is said that Luo Zhongxu and Huang Qishan have both stayed in Taiwan to sing here. Their status is equivalent to that of later generations. They are famous for many beauties.
There are naturally many young men who come here, and various "cheating" are staged here anytime and anywhere, even triggering a battle between the two major gangs in Shanghai at this time.
Ma Xiaojun sat in Jingyuan Bookstore in Jing'an District early, here to listen to Pingtan for free.
In fact, in order to catch up with the dancing craze of the whole society, Jing'an Bookstore removed the fixed seats and replaced them with activity seats. The same venue, performing Pingtan during the day and dancing ballroom dance at night, is quite interesting to think about it.
Doctors, teachers, scientific researchers...
Young, middle-aged, elderly people...
Zhong Xiaoyong wants to include all groups in Shanghai!
"Xiaoyong, come here," Qin Dong waved his hand and called Eisenhower from Qinwan to his side. "Tao Aman has also taken action. If you push it one by one, you will become a battlefield with Shanghai Beer. You have to think of a way."
"Brother Dong, what are you doing?" Zhong Xiaoyong looked at Qin Dong with a pleasing look and asked with a smile.
