He became popular all over the world because of a photo of drinking coke. 4 1 year has passed. How's it going now?

There is such a soul torture on the Internet: "Sweet tofu brain or salty tofu brain? Do you want coriander? Tangyuan or meatballs? " What is most likely to cause friends and lovers to "part ways" is: "Coca-Cola or Pepsi?"

Of course, this is just a joke, but it reflects that China people pay attention to food for the first time. If it doesn't suit their taste, they may fight after dinner. But in today's story, it seems that Coca Cola is better.

Coca-Cola was originally introduced not as a drink, but as a medicine for treating headaches. Its inventor is John Clifford Pemberton, an American pharmacist.

/kloc-one day in 0/886, a man named Isaac Riggs Candler happened to have a headache, and pemberton took out medicine for Isaac. Originally, this potion was to be washed with water, but there was no ready-made water at that time, so they simply took the soda water at hand. I didn't expect soda to be added to the potion, and it was delicious.

Because the main ingredients of this medicine are coca leaves and cola nuts, pemberton and his partner Robinson simply changed the names of these two main ingredients, thus obtaining Coca-Cola.

Later, Elsa bought shares in Coca-Cola. After several developments, it finally became a giant beverage company with a value of more than 20 billion dollars.

Why should Coca-Cola be introduced first? Because 4 1 years ago, a little boy was known to the world because of a photo of him drinking coke on the Great Wall. This matter has to start with that old photo.

I think many people have heard of National Geographic magazine, which is the most widely known magazine in the world. The main content of the magazine is high-quality articles about society, history and customs around the world. Many photographers are proud of their photos published in National Geographic because of their printing quality and screening quality.

James anderson is not a photographer, but a reporter. Although 1979 China has embarked on the road of reform and opening up, the control of foreign media is still relatively strict, and basically no press cards will be issued. James is very curious about the new China, which has just started the reform and opening up. With the help of friends, after many twists and turns, he finally got the press card.

At that time, Coca-Cola was very popular abroad, but it was still a rarity in China. James, who climbed the Great Wall with several cans of coke, was ready to drink it himself, but he was instantly shocked by the majesty of the Great Wall. He felt that he had to take some photos, not only the towering Great Wall, but also other more representative photos. It happened that there was a family climbing the Great Wall next to James.

Although I don't know, the inspiration of photography is often that moment. James immediately handed the little boy wearing a green military coat a bottle of red Coca-Cola, and the little boy was instantly conquered by the smell of Coca-Cola and became James' "little model".

When James came home, he sent these photos to National Geographic magazine. This photo named "Red China First Coke" appeared in front of the world, and the little boy was known by the public for drinking coke.

Now 4 1 year has passed. What about the little boy who drank coke on the Great Wall now? The little boy's name is Hei Taojian. 202 1 CEO of International Business Center. He seems to have completely forgotten this experience as a child. It was not until recently that everyone revisited the old photo and turned this photo out that he accidentally discovered that he had such an old photo. After confirming with his mother, he realized that the little boy who drank coke was himself.
