Ch 196: Let The Competitors Handle This Crappy Matter

The host on stage delivered the welcome speech.

Then, a slight “ancient ceremony” was performed, causing many men to want to stand up, bow, and say: “Young Master greets you!”

The host left the stage.

Xu Qing came on stage.

Uh!

Comparison hurts.

Xu Qing wasn’t bad-looking, but she was middle-aged after all,

although cosmetics saved her once, they couldn’t save her forever, it’s not plastic surgery.

Compared to the previous host, after Xu Qing came on stage, many people’s eyes clearly flashed with a hint of dislike.

Fortunately, there were lights on the stage, and it was pitch-black in the audience, so Xu Qing didn’t see it; otherwise, Xu Qing would probably have an emotional breakdown.

She felt that she was very beautifully dressed today. She spent the whole morning doing her hair and the whole afternoon doing her makeup; it was very grand, okay.

Plus, Xu Qing was also wearing a qipao, and her figure was really good.

Unfortunately, the host was too young, beautiful, and stunning.

There’s no way,

Cao Cheng recruited someone, directly selecting a girl from a broadcasting and hosting major who had a good figure, good looks, and good temperament. Her business ability didn’t matter; as long as her Mandarin was standard and she knew a little broadcasting style, that would be enough.

It’s not the Central Bank.

It’s just an internal company host; does she need to be so professional?

No.

Absolutely not!

……

In comparison, online language is more heartwarming.

These days, there are trolls, but not that many.

It was all: “Sister Qing is beautiful.”

“Sister Qing is the most beautiful.”

“Sister Qing, I love you.”

“……”

In the cosmetics circle, Xu Qing still had some reputation, and many girls called her “Jie” (sister).

As Xu Qing came on stage, the large screen behind her also moved.

Curtain rising!

Opening!

The background and style of ink and wash painting, plus the garden layout everywhere, and lanterns outside.

The lighting was also very soft.

Plus dry ice fog!

It inexplicably made the whole venue poetic and hazy, it was beautiful.

This is true China style.

It hasn’t become popular yet, because non-mainstream hasn’t completely died out, so the impact of this scene on people is really great.

……

“New product.”

“The inspiration for this new product comes from—the Classic of Poetry and the Dunhuang murals.”

After Xu Qing’s brief opening remarks, she began to introduce the new product.

Supreme Gift Box.

The price wasn’t given yet, nor was everything shown; instead, she introduced each item one by one.

Today’s Supreme Gift Box only has five products.

Publicity: Five-step rejuvenation!

Cleansing milk, lotion, elixir, face cream, eye cream!

One step in place.

Plus a lip gloss and incense beads!

Seven-piece set.

And the five main items are all packaged in five famous kilns: Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln, and Ding kiln!

These are real kilns.

They can be collected after use.

This alone made many people’s eyes light up; it’s interesting.

It’s interesting.

Using ancient famous kilns paired with high-end cosmetics, it’s amazing.

A genius idea.

As for the incense beads, they are in a scented sachet.

The lip gloss uses a stick.

The gift box is lined with real handmade silk; the silk can also be used as a scarf, and the grade is very high.

The gift box packaging has four forms, which are also four colors.

Suzhou Embroidery, Hunan Embroidery, Guangdong Embroidery, Sichuan Embroidery!

Suzhou Embroidery emphasizes elegance, using light colors, with blue and white outlining light blue and light pink.

Hunan Embroidery emphasizes brightness, mainly dark blue.

Guangdong Embroidery emphasizes saturation and vividness, mainly vermilion.

Sichuan Embroidery emphasizes freshness, mainly emerald green!

Four colors, very eye-catching; this is the mobile phone approach, more choices, more preferences.

And,

Xu Qing also emphasized the history of the Four Great Famous Embroideries, including the daily life of the handmade embroiderers on the screen; each gift box is handmade.

Inside and out, it was carefully made by skilled craftsmen.

Aside from the cosmetics, this set alone is priceless!

……

And the best part is the carved patterns of the five famous kilns on the cosmetic bottles.

There are various Dunhuang murals, lifelike.

The dancers on the bottles have fluttering clothes; these were also carved one stroke at a time by the carvers, pure handmade!

In addition to the Dunhuang murals, the bottles also have the Classic of Poetry as an auxiliary, adding a touch of artistic conception.

Many people may not understand the Classic of Poetry.

But many of its famous lines have been heard by more than half of the country.

Such as: “The gentle mandarin duck, on the river’s bank; a graceful lady, a gentleman’s true love!”

“Green is your robe, my heart yearns for you.”

Of course, there are also ambiguous sentiments such as “The one I long for is on the other side of the water.”

Perhaps these are all love; some straight men don’t understand.

But there are also sentences that straight men understand, such as: “How can we say there are no clothes, to share a robe with you!”

“You give me a peach, I will repay you with a jade.”

“Those who know me know that my heart is worried, those who do not know me ask what I seek.”

And so on!

……

This set of cosmetics is a work of art.

A work of art of ancient style culture.

From the inside out, every detail reveals a rich background.

Not only were various bosses at the scene amazed, but also the people watching the livestream online were all saying “Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!”

At this moment, there are no words to describe it.

Even the color scheme of the outer packaging was chosen by several of the best art professors, who selected the best color combinations.

It was made with care.

And handmade.

Of course,

there were also trolls in the livestream chat.

“It’s flashy. I’m buying cosmetics, not these external things. I’m not buying it anyway.”

“Laughing to death, can you even afford it? Just one Suzhou embroidery, you wouldn’t be able to buy it even if you sold your house, let alone the fact that this Suzhou embroidery is a handmade work by a Suzhou embroidery master.”

There were also many fans.

They fired back in a minute.

“It’s too brutal. Just any famous kiln, with the flying Apsaras carved on it, plus the Classic of Poetry, I feel it’s a work of art. This is the first time I’ve felt that our ancient art can be so beautiful.”

“The combination of ancient and modern is perfect, but unfortunately I can’t afford it, I can only look at it, hoping to buy a set of outer packaging someday.”

“I can’t afford the outer packaging either. I guess I can only afford the silk.”

“You know what, although the silk is also made by ancient handmade methods, I checked it out, and the price is not expensive…a few hundred yuan… Wuwuwu, I don’t seem to be able to afford it either.”

“Pfft!! That made me laugh.”

“Sigh! Old art is almost losing its legacy. It must be said that Young Master Cao is thoughtful, integrating so much intangible cultural heritage, great kindness!”

“Bravo!”

“Although I can’t afford it, it’s good enough that I can appreciate it. Can other cosmetics companies learn from this? You can’t beat those foreign brands, but you don’t even know how to use our country’s culture? Why do you have to use those ugly packages?”

“Exactly, domestic cosmetics, you don’t use handmade ones, machine-made ones are also fine, at least they look good.”

“That’s right.”

……

At this time.

Xu Qing finished introducing all the details.

The audience either gasped or exclaimed.

Xu Qing was proud and raised her head proudly to look at everyone.

She clicked the remote control.

Xu Qing said, “Finally, let’s introduce the content of X extract.”

Originally, the Diamond Set had an extract dilution of one-fifteenth.

That was already very good.

Later, Olay secretly reduced the amount, reaching one-twentieth; the effect couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.

Xu Qing clicked the remote control.

She introduced, “Bronze Set, the content is one percent of one X extract.”

Clicked again: “Silver Set, one-fiftieth.”

Clicked again: “Gold Set, one-thirtieth.”

Finally: “Diamond Set, also the top level, the content has reached one-fifteenth. Of course, competitors have reduced the amount; they only have one-twentieth.”

This one sentence revealed a major inside story.

The scene was in an uproar.

Many competitors looked bad.

Xu Qing chuckled, “As for the new product we are launching today, the Supreme Set, the X extract content…one hundred percent!”

“That is, one essence in a set.”

Whoa!!!

An uproar.

The barrage was all Sister Qing is awesome, Sister Qing is awesome!

Xu Qing pressed her hands down, “The Supreme Set is our Miracle Cosmetics’ full-blood product. The reason why we didn’t use one hundred percent before is because the content of X extract is too domineering. Although there are no side effects, if you use it for a long time, you will no longer be able to use slightly cheaper chemical products. In short, it will be addictive.”

“So,”

“Our Mr. Cao means, we are not drug dealers; we don’t want addictive things.”

“After half a year of in-depth research by our research institute, we have finally upgraded X extract to a new level.”

“Not only does the effect exceed the previous one by fifty percent, but it is also non-addictive.”

“That is, if you use the Supreme Set today, if you don’t want to use it one day, you can still use those trash chemical products from our competitors, and you won’t have a bad face.”

“This is our full-blood Supreme Set product.”

“I know…”

Xu Qing said loudly, “Everyone is curious about our price, and also curious about our production volume.”

“Here, we, Miracle Cosmetics, are going to reset the price.”

“Because we have reduced the cost a little.”

“So,”

“The original gift boxes will be reduced by thirty percent from the original price. That is, the Bronze Gift Box, from the original three hundred and eighty, will be reduced to two hundred and sixty-six!”

“The others will be reduced in the same way, reducing the price but not the content. We won’t secretly dilute the concentration of the extract like our competitors. In Mr. Cao’s words, let the competitors do this kind of shitty thing.”

“……”

“……”

“Hahaha!”

The barrage was amused.

Thinking about it, it is indeed Young Master Cao’s speaking style, he really dares to say anything.

The camera happened to be facing some competitors; the foreign devils heard the translation and their faces became even darker.

“As for!”

Xu Qing finally said, “As for the price of our Supreme Gift Box, it’s tentatively set at 990,000 yuan!”

The scene was quiet for a moment, followed by a buzzing sound of discussion.

Xu Qing gave everyone a few seconds, and said, “Mr. Cao means that less than one million is already cheap. In addition, the Bronze and Silver Gift Boxes are unlimited, so everyone can shop happily.”

“As for the Supreme Gift Box, there are only three thousand boxes per month, only three thousand boxes worldwide, after all, it’s purely handmade, we hope everyone can understand.”

Afterwards.

The host came on stage again.

Announcing a song and dance program, also in ancient style.

Today’s theme is ancient style.

Then, the final reporter interview session began.

“Ms. Xu, I am from Zhonghai Metropolitan Daily…I would like to ask, didn’t X extract disappear? But from what you mean, the Bronze and Silver Sets are unlimited, which means they can be purchased indefinitely? So…does this mean that Miracle Cosmetics has mastered X extract?”
