After asking his secretary to wait for him in the conference room, Chen Jianchun followed Lin Jun to the elevator and reached the top floor of Yunmeng Building.
Mr. Hao's office is at the end of the corridor on the top floor, with the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the river.
"This is our Mr. Hao's office. In fact, it doesn't look anything special." After opening the door, Lin Jun introduced Chen Jianchun with a smile.
"It seems very special to me." Looking at the simple layout of the office and the only two professional books on the bookshelf, Chen Jianchun said with a smile, "I know many entrepreneurs who like to put calligraphy and paintings in the office. The bookshelf is stuffed with books that I would never read, including myself... But your Mr. Hao is an exception. The office looks empty on the surface, but behind it is a vast layout, simple but not simple!"
As he said this, Mr. Chen nodded with emotion.
"He is an expert!"
"I think so too! By the way, do you want something to drink? I can make you a cup of coffee." Lin Jun nodded and said with a smile, while silently memorizing this tricky angle and planning to use it next time.
"There's no need for coffee. I can't drink that stuff. Mineral water is fine."
There is no need to go outside to get mineral water.
As long as there is a refrigerator in Yunmeng Building, someone will replenish mineral water, canned coffee and other drinks around the clock. Lin Jun walked to the small refrigerator in the office. There were only two bottles of transparent pure water in it, so he took it out without thinking.
However, when he took the two bottles of water into his hands, he discovered that it didn't seem to be mineral water. The bubbles on the walls of the bottles clearly seemed to have been added with soda or carbon dioxide.
Just when Lin Jun was thinking about whether to put it back and go to the refrigerator outside to get two more bottles, Mr. Chen on the side cast a curious look.
"What's this?"
"Uh, it seems to be soda water? There is no mineral water here. How about I go outside and get you a bottle." Lin Jun said.
"No need to bother, just this."
Taking a bottle from Lin Jun's hand, Chen Jianchun held it in his hand and studied it for a while, the look of interest in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.
"What brand of drink is this? It doesn't even have a packaging."
"I don't know either," Lin Jun said with a puzzled look on his face, "The drinks in our office are all purchased together, and this is the first time I've seen this... Maybe it's Mr. Hao's personal preference."
Mr. Hao’s personal preference
Chen Jianchun raised his eyebrows.
It seems necessary to understand this.
“Are there any disposable cups?”
"One, disposable cup?"
"Well, I'm used to drinking water from a cup."
Is it so particular
Mr. Lin looked at Mr. Chen dumbly, but he still did as he was told and took a disposable cup from the side.
After Chen Jianchun thanked him, he took the cup from his hand, unscrewed the bottle cap and placed it in the cup, then brought the cup close to his nose and sniffed.
"It has a very unique aroma... I can tell that there is no such drink on the market."
Can you smell this
Lin Jun looked on stunned.
But at this moment, he remembered a rumor. It is said that the boss of Bull Group was engaged in organic chemical engineering before starting his own business. He came up with the idea of making beverages while studying the improvement of taurine production process, so he teamed up with several technicians with relevant experience and founded the current company from scratch. Bull Group.
Compared with other entrepreneurs in the same field, Mr. Chen not only has an engineering background, but also a technical background, and is personally involved in the design of each of his beverage brands.
So to say…
Maybe he actually collected and studied all the drinks that have ever appeared on the market.
"This... I don't know. Maybe it's a special drink that is not sold on the market and only accepts private orders from high-end customers?" Lin Jun also looked confused and tried to propose a possibility.
"It is indeed possible." Chen Jianchun nodded, the interest on his face became more intense, and he brought the cup to his mouth and took a sip.
Very weird smell.
A little bitter.
And it's not the usual kind of bitter, just like an unripe bitter melon. However, as those carbonic acid bubbles mixed with bitterness spread on the taste buds, a hint of fresh sweetness followed closely behind.
Along with returning to sweetness, there is also a ray of coolness.
The cool feeling refreshed his energy, and even the fatigue accumulated from catching the flight yesterday dissipated a little unconsciously.
"Incredible!"
Chen Jianchun's pupils showed a hint of surprise, and he murmured to himself.
"Is there sulfuric acid? No...it doesn't seem to have a sour taste. Could it be caffeine or inositol? It doesn't seem like it."
Lin Jun: "Uh, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing!" The surprise gradually turned into a glow, and Chen Jianchun said with full praise, "A very unique taste! It tastes bitter at first, but soon you will feel a hint of sweetness. I thought it would be very unpleasant to drink, but I didn't expect it. It’s more interesting than expected. Especially the refreshing effect makes people wonder what special formula is added to it.”
As he spoke, he turned his attention to another bottle of drink and said with an embarrassed look.
"Can you show me this bottle too?"
Thinking that a bottle of drink was not a valuable thing, Lin Jun handed it to him.
Taking the water bottle, Chen Jianchun couldn't wait to unscrew the bottle cap, poured a little into a new disposable cup as usual, and then carefully capped the bottle and returned it to Jun Lin.
At this moment, he was treating the sample in his hand with a research mentality.
Just like before, he first got closer and smelled it, then took a brief sip, closed his eyes tightly, and said while thinking about it.
"It's a bit like sea salt and fried caramel mixed together... The first sip made me feel like I had a cold. The second sip made me feel like I was facing the sea and smelled the sea. The third sip..."
Chen Jianchun, who had his eyes closed tightly, chewed carefully for a long time. Suddenly his eyes opened, and a glimmer of enlightenment emitted from his pupils.
"No, not the sea!"
"It's tears..."
"Tears?"
"That's right! This is the smell of tears!" Chen Jianchun said with an moved expression.
Is there such a magical thing
But then again, what’s so good about tears…
Or does Mr. Chen just want to express a similar feeling? I just can't find any other words to describe this feeling.
Lin Jun was stunned and quickly got himself a small cup.
He was not particularly curious about Mr. Hao's taste, but he was simply curious about what the taste was, which actually caused such a shocked expression on the face of this expert in the food and beverage industry.
"I'll try it."
Starting from the first bottle of drink, Lin Jun poured the drink into the cup and took a sip.
Feeling the wonderful feeling blooming on the tip of his tongue, an incredible expression gradually appeared on his face.
This drink…
Not to mention delicious.
But it's special enough.
There is no drink on the market that tastes so good. Now he finally understands why Mr. Chen has such a surprised expression on his face.
For a moment, he suddenly looked towards Mr. Chen who was standing aside. At this moment, Mr. Chen almost unanimously turned his excited eyes to him.
Lin Jun knew the meaning of that look very well, because he thought so too!
“Let’s start our cooperation with these two drinks!”
"I think it's OK! But please wait a moment. I'll call Mr. Hao for instructions first."
"No hurry, no rush, it doesn't matter if I wait for a while."
Chen Jianchun rubbed his hands with eagerness written on his face.
I didn't expect that this trip to Jiangcheng would yield such a surprise.
What a surprise to him!
