Into Unscientific

be honest.

  As a veteran outreach worker.

  Liu Yunquan, who has just passed his 52nd birthday, can be regarded as a person who has seen all kinds of storms.

  When he was young, he even followed the team through the snow-capped mountains.

   But at this moment.

  This experienced old wailian who had just returned from Mao Xiong to report on his work, fell into a short-term downtime.

   Gollum.

  I saw him swallowing his saliva a little dryly, hesitated for a moment, and asked a man in front of him again:

   "Comrade Yang Wen, I'm sorry, maybe I'm a little old, and I didn't hear some words clearly."

   "Did you just say that we are going to hold a coke exhibition in Moscow?"

  Yang Wen in Liu Yunquan's mouth is a young man in his early twenties, with a fair complexion and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looks like the secretary of some leaders.

   Heard Liu Yunquan's questioning.

  Yang Wen’s mouth curled up into a beautiful smile, and his appearance is still an idol who can step on a sewing machine in the future:

   "That's right, Comrade Yunquan, the organization has already decided that a Coca-Cola exhibition will be organized in Moscow in four days."

   "Due to certain 404 risks, cough cough, and special reasons, there will be no particularly senior leaders on both sides of this fair, so this matter can only be left to you."

  Liu Yunquan froze for a moment.

  Yang Wen's answer proved that there was nothing wrong with his hearing, but it made Liu Yunquan even more confused.

  The rabbit ran to Moscow for a Coke exhibition?

  What kind of painting style is this tm.

  After thinking about it for a while, a plausible past explanation emerged in his mind, and he said to Yang Wen in a seemingly enlightened manner:

   "Oh, I understand, Comrade Yang Wen, the cola you mentioned should mean soda, right?"

   "For example, the Shanhaiguan soda in Jinmen, or the Arctic Ocean in the capital?"

  Because of Yang Wen's limited experience, he mistook soda for Coke. This was the only reasonable explanation that Liu Yunquan could think of.

   After all, although there are no cola factories in China today, there are still quite a few soda factories.

   Actually.

  The intersection of China and soda can even be traced back to the mid-19th century.

  The soft drink at that time was called Dutch water, and it flowed into the country with the opening of the country. It only added lemon and bubbles.

  The old man who wrote the book also reminded everyone that "the plug will explode when you open it, so be careful not to face the bullet", so it was also called marble soda later.

  As for the first soda factory opened in China, it was the Zhengguanghe soda factory in Shanghai.

   This is a store opened by the British in China. The earliest products mainly sold soft drinks imported from the Netherlands, which is equivalent to the current supermarket.

  Later, Zheng Guanghe felt that soda was quite profitable, and unlike alcohol, it required high technical content, so he decided to open a factory by himself to make more money, and the business would not involve the Dutch.

  They built a factory at the corner of Daming Road in Modu, named "Modu Mile Water Plant".

  The origin of the name is very literary. It is taken from the "Book of Songs" in "The overflowing of the mouth can make you hungry".

  At that time, Lao Deji Pharmacy and Watsons Pharmacy were also eyeing the soda business in Shanghai. These two companies also set up factories one after another following the pace of Zhengguanghe.

From then on.

  The soda factories in Huaxia began to disperse.

   But in this day and age.

  The most famous soda factory in China is Shanhaiguan soda in Jinmen.

  The predecessor of Shanhaiguan Soda Water was also a foreign businessman. The factory was established in 1900, and it was called Wanguo Soda Factory.

  Shanhaiguan soda water has been a proper high-end product since its inception. Even the wedding banquet of the last emperor Puyi used their soda water.

  In 1923.

   Coca-Cola began to enter China.

  Because the Shanhaiguan soda factory is relatively strong, it found Shanhaiguan soda to make and bottle Coca-Cola.

   In the southern market, it found Watsons for filling.

  However, with the establishment of New China, Coca-Cola withdrew from China, and Shanhaiguan Soda became a state-owned soda factory.

  The more famous sodas are in addition to the ones mentioned above.

There are also "Bawangsi" born in 1920, "Heli" born in Jiangcheng in 1921, "Arctic Ocean" and "Meihua" born in Beiping and Shancheng respectively in 1936, and "Asia" born in Guangdong Province in 1946. , and "Bingfeng", which was born in Chang'an in 1948.

   Some of these brands are still alive in 2023.

  For example, Heli in Jiangcheng is now called the second factory soda, and it is sold on a certain treasure.

   Not to mention the Arctic Ocean, Meihua in the mountain city is the predecessor of Tianfu Cola.

Of course.

  Although there are many soda brands in China nowadays, to be honest, none of them can beat them.

  At least for someone like Liu Yunquan who has been traveling abroad for many years, the gap between domestic soda and cola is still obvious.

   But whatever the taste.

   At least on a logical level, exporting soda is somewhat more acceptable than exporting Coke.

   However, Liu Yunquan was deeply surprised.

  Yang Wen shook his head decisively:

   "Comrade Yunquan, I'm not talking about soda, but standard Coke—a drink similar to Coca-Cola."

   "Well, Comrade Yunquan, you will know after a taste."

   Say it.

  Yang Wen picked up the thermos cup beside him, and poured out a cup of brown liquid from it.

   Then he handed the cup to Liu Yunquan:

   "Here, Comrade Yunquan, there is still some ice."

   "According to a certain kid, Coke must be drunk cold to be happy."

  “.”

  Liu Yunquan subconsciously took the cup from Yang Wen's hand, his eyes were a little clearer.

   He first glanced at Yang Wen, then looked at the liquid in the cup for two seconds, then raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.

   Gollum—

  The slightly frosty liquid slowly slides over the tip of the tongue, overflows the throat, and slowly flows down the esophagus.

   With the inlet of the liquid.

  Liu Yunquan's lip cavities first felt an indescribable stimulation, even a little tingling.

   But soon.

  This stimulation turned into several feelings such as softness, smoothness, sweetness, etc., which made Liu Yunquan couldn't help but let out a groan:

   "Aha~~~"

  See this scenario.

  Yang Wen couldn't help showing another smile on his face—he deliberately poured more drinks for Liu Yunquan.

   After a while.

  Looking at Liu Yunquan who was still unsatisfied, Yang Wen asked:

   "Comrade Yunquan, how does the drink taste?"

   Liu Yunquan was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded slightly:

   "The taste is very close to Coca-Cola, but the bubbles are a little lighter, and the medicinal taste is a little stronger."

   "Comrade Yang Wen, is this the Coke we produced ourselves?"

  As an old wailian.

  If he can't guess at this time that the country has already mastered the production technology of cola, then he will have lived in vain for so many years.

as expected.

  Yang Wen nodded while covering the lid of the thermos cup:

   "That's right, due to some coincidences, we have initially possessed the technology to produce Coke."

   "Of course, I may not be able to reveal too much about the specific situation. In short, the superior decided to hold a non-governmental Coca-Cola exhibition in Moscow that does not contain any political color."

   "Comrade Yunquan, what's your intention?"

  Liu Yunquan was silent for a longer time this time, thinking quickly about the feasibility of Yang Wen's words.

  As an old man who has been on Mao Xiong's outreach missions for several years, Liu Yunquan's understanding of certain things even exceeds that of some specialized intelligence personnel.

For example

   When he returned to China to report on his work a few years ago, a friend of Mao Xiong once asked him one thing in private:

   That friend hoped that when he returned to China, he could bring him some Coke from the International Friend Service Department in Shanghai, which was later the predecessor of the Friendship Store.

  For this reason, that friend is willing to pay a premium of 50% as Liu Yunquan's service fee—and it is settled directly in foreign exchange.

To know.

  The foreign exchange these days is the real hard currency.

   Its conversion ratio may not be high on the surface, but in some private black markets, it is common to double it by ten times.

Of course.

  Finally, Liu Yunquan still refused the request, sticking to his bottom line.

  However, it is not difficult to see Mao Xiong's demand for Coke, but because there has been no relevant production technology in China in the past, Liu Yunquan has never thought about the possibility of operating Coke.

   But now it seems.

   For some reason, this window is open.

  Think here.

  Liu Yunquan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and sat up a little bit straighter:

   "Comrade Yang Wen, just tell me, what is my specific task this time?"

  Yang Wen straightened up after hearing the words, picked up a small notebook from his side, and said:

   "Comrade Yunquan, there are 15 trade fair members accompanying you to Moscow this time, and there will be 100 cases of Coke accompanying you, a total of 3,000 bottles, with many flavors."

   "The size of these colas is 200ml, and they are bottled in glass. At present, the Capital Food Factory has stopped some production lines in the Arctic Ocean and started to produce this cola with all its strength."

   "If there are no accidents, all production can be completed within three days."

   "Three days?"

  A trace of regret flashed in Liu Yunquan's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a touch of determination:

   "No problem, Comrade Yang Wen, I obey the organization's arrangement!"

  As an outreach staff, Liu Yunquan doesn't have many vacations.

   Don't look at this time he can take half a month off to report on his work when he returns to China. This is actually the first time he has taken a vacation in three years.

at the same time.

  His wife Rao Min is a middle school teacher in Shanghai. It is not easy to go abroad to visit her husband in this day and age.

  This time I learned that Liu Yunquan rarely returned to China.

   Rao Min specially asked the leader for a rest, but even so, he will not be able to leave from Shanghai until tomorrow.

   In other words.

  The time left for Liu Yunquan and his wife to reunite is only two to three days.

   Not to mention that Liu Yunquan still has to consider some matters after arriving in Maoxiong, and the real time left for the couple to be tender is even shorter.

   Then Yang Wen paused and continued:

   "After the production of Coke is completed, you have to take these goods and the delegation to Mao Xiong. At that time, comrades will meet you."

   "According to the results of the negotiation between the organization and Mao Xiong, Mao Xiong will open up a booth for you on the first floor of the National Department Store. This is the location of our exhibition."

  National Department Store.

   Hear the name.

  Liu Yunquan frowned suddenly.

  The area where the National Department Store is located is on the east side of the famous Red Square.

  Those hairy bears are not philanthropists. If the organization wants to go to such a place, it is estimated that they will have to pay a certain price

   And across from him.

  Yang Wenze was still making relevant introductions, and at the same time his expression became a little more serious:

   "Comrade Yunquan, what I'm going to say next is very important, you must remember it well."

   "First of all, all of our cola this time—remember it's all cola. We only provide free tasting, and refuse wholesale and retail."

   "As long as customers pass by the venue, they can drink a small cup of Coke unconditionally."

   said.

  Yang Wen picked up a small mini cup from the table, and it seemed that the capacity was only about 20 milliliters:

   "The capacity of this cup is 25 liters, and there is a scale line inside. You only need to pour five milliliters of Coke for the first time every time."

   "After the guests finish drinking, you have to ask them to fill out a questionnaire. The content of the questionnaire is very simple, just tick it."

   "Every customer who fills out the questionnaire can taste another five milliliters of Coke for free."

   After listening to Yang Wen's words quietly, Liu Yunquan showed a hint of surprise on his face again:

   "Only taste but not retail? Do you still need to fill out the questionnaire?"

  Trade fairs Fairs, as the word implies, there must be sales if there is an exhibition.

  So Liu Yunquan wanted to come.

  This time, his task should be to promote and sell Coke, and then gather a price that Maoxiong customers think is suitable for reference, and then sell it in the Huaxia store in Moscow.

   The result was unexpected.

  This time their mission is actually free?

  Looking at the surprised Liu Yunquan, Yang Wen smiled calmly:

   "Comrade Yunquan, you heard me right, you only give it away, not sell it."

   "If there is no accident, when the exhibition is over, there will be a commissioner from Mao Xiong to talk to you about the price."

   Liu Yunquan's pupils shrank suddenly.

  Yang Wen's words contain a lot of information.

   Murphy

  The expectation of the fair above is not the spontaneous purchase of Mao Xiong folks, but

   Bear's official order?

   But want to get the official end with a bottle of drink?

is it possible?

  It's a pity that an acquaintance is not there at this time, otherwise he would probably have answered the sentence, of course it is possible.

   Actually.

  It is normal for Liu Yunquan to have this question.

  Although he has seen the power of Coke many times with Mao Xiong, these are more emotions expressed by individuals.

  Liu Yunquan can only be sure that Coke will not fail to sell in Mao Xiong, but as for whether it can rise to the popularity of the whole people, he can't guarantee it.

Precisely.

  On the land of China today, except for Xu Yun and a few people, no one has this confidence.

after all

   Not everyone is a time traveler, and not everyone knows that there are time travelers.

   Actually.

   Don't look at Yang Wen's words so firmly, he is somewhat puzzled.

   But after all, it was a task assigned by the organization, so Liu Yunquan quickly chose to accept it:

   "I understand, Comrade Yang Wen, I promise to complete the organizational tasks satisfactorily!"

   Finished speaking.

  What did Liu Yunquan think of again, and asked Yang Wen:

   "By the way, Comrade Yang Wen, since we are a trade fair, we probably need some promotional slogans, right?"

   "When peasant comrades sell chickens, they will always say that they are old hens that have been raised for two and a half years and can dance like immortals."

  Yang Wen nodded quickly after hearing the words:

   "Of course, Comrade Yunquan, just wait a moment."

  Yang Wen turned over a few pages of the notebook, took out a small note from the interlayer, and handed it to Liu Yunquan.

  Liu Yunquan took it and took a look, only to see a paragraph of Russian written on it:

  【Всеравноденегненадо.Попробуйнемного】.

   Then Yang Wen showed a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and said:

   "Comrade Yunquan, I'm not a Russian major, I can't understand these words, can you please translate for me?"

  Liu Yunquan pondered for a moment, organized some words, and said:

   "mean should be"

   "Anyway, it doesn't cost money, so try a little bit."
