Dà Yáo Soda

Okay, here are a few options to rewrite the title for a Western audience in English: * **Chinese Soda Brand “Dayao” Reportedly Targeted for Acquisition by US Private Equity Firm; Wu Jing Has Been Longtime Spokesperson** * **US Private Equity Eyes Acquisition of Popular Chinese Soda Brand Dayao, Endorsed by Wu Jing** * **Dayao Soda, a Staple in China, Could Be Acquired by American PE Firm; Wu Jing’s Endorsement Deal in the Spotlight** I think the first option is the best. Chinese Soda Brand “Dayao” Reportedly Targeted for Acquisition by US Private Equity Firm; Wu Jing Has Been Longtime Spokesperson
Chinese soda brand Dà Yáo, a barbecue staple, is attracting significant attention. Private equity firm KKR is set to acquire an 85% stake in Dà Yáo Guest Drinks, potentially giving them indirect control. The move follows Dà Yáo’s national expansion and marketing push featuring action star Wu Jing. While the current management team remains, acquisition rumors have circulated, including earlier speculation of interest from Coca-Cola. Dà Yáo, alongside Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, controls a substantial portion (92.87%) of the domestic soda market. The company reiterates its commitment to long-term brand development despite market speculation.
