Ch 165: There Are No Outsiders At Home, Speak Human Language… Aren’t You Afraid Of Being Beaten To Death?

Miracle Cosmetics’ matter is still fermenting.

Starting from the Spring Festival Gala midnight countdown, this brand entered the public eye and gained extremely high brand awareness.

Then came the press conference.

It precisely promoted the product to interested groups.

Miracle Cosmetics’ online forums have already appeared.

Inside, a bunch of people discuss this topic every day, and some women who have used it directly became “devotees”.

For example, a post with over a thousand comments, the title is 《Used the Bronze Set for half a month, Q&A post!》

Of course,

With devotees, there are naturally internet water armies and trolls. These small accounts smear and attack without any evidence, and can indeed influence people’s judgment.

Not surprisingly, these trolls are people paid by other cosmetics companies.

Business war,

has quietly begun.

……

This matter also alarmed the headquarters of international brands.

However,

When the persons in charge in China of major companies submitted the situation and test reports, what they got in return was sarcasm.

Most beauty tycoon headquarters responded with disdain.

They simply didn’t believe that Miracle Cosmetics could research and develop top-level cosmetics.

Can Chinese people make cosmetics?

Hehehe…

The various headquarters also looked down on the persons in charge in China: You feudal officials were actually scared by a local brand?

Simply useless.

Including Olay’s headquarters.

Actually, it’s not surprising that they were careless; the discrimination chain in this circle is very serious.

Since the revival of luxury goods in Europe, even American brands are considered country bumpkins and rural brands in the eyes of Europeans, let alone those from ancient empires across the ocean.

And the Olay Group.

It has been listed for nearly fifty years. For so many years, wielding the big stick of cash, it has been wantonly merging and expanding.

It acquired Lancôme, Biotherm, Lauren, and countless other brands.

It also covers all fields.

Globally, their products include skincare, cosmetics, makeup, perfume, luxury goods… and so on.

How could such a large factory be easily intimidated by a small company?

Even if the other party has a new product.

They can just acquire it.

Nearly fifty years of acquisition has left them with no other business war capabilities; besides acquisition, they seem to know nothing else.

The Group’s First Lady is getting old and has frequent scandals, and is in a bad mood, so this matter did not alarm her.

Only the headquarters CEO issued an order, just two words: Acquire!

……

Seeing the headquarters’ reply.

Paul also felt itchy on his bald head.

He muttered to himself.

Obviously, the headquarters did not see the documents he submitted.

The documents he provided were very clear: the other party is not short of money and is not a small brand.

Perhaps it was newly established, and it doesn’t have many products.

But its products are good enough.

Haven’t you seen the product sales and buying frenzy in these days? Even under the quota restrictions.

Moreover, Cao Cheng also has an entertainment company, and many female artists in the entertainment industry are helping with free publicity. How much fan consumption can this drive?

Still acquire?

Damn you, try to acquire.

They want to acquire us.

Cao!

Tok tok tok——

A knock came at the door.

“Come in.”

“Sir.”

The secretary hurriedly opened the door and entered: “Good news.”

“I hope it’s really good news.”

“Of course it is,” the secretary said. “The raw material supplier has been found.”

Boom——

Paul jumped up.

The boss chair behind him was knocked over by his chubby body.

Paul couldn’t wait to go around the desk: “Is it Herbal Essence X?”

“That’s right.” The secretary nodded.

Paul took the report, looked down at it, and muttered: “You’ve done a great job, a great job. If this is true, the company will give you an apartment, a car, and even get you a new wife.”

“…”

The report was very direct.

Money was spent to buy off employees inside Miracle Cosmetics, and the newly relocated research center of Miracle Cosmetics was found.

Then, using the same method, money was spent to bribe a young researcher inside, offering one million.

Not only money but also a future was offered. As long as he provides valuable information, he can work in the research lab at Olay Group.

Finally.

After a few days, at an exorbitant price of 1.5 million, Olay got what it wanted.

There is a newly established herbal essence research institute in the Yunnan-Guizhou region.

This extract essence, X, is extracted from traditional Chinese medicine.

Each 100ml bottle costs 80,000 yuan.

The price is a bit expensive.

But after investigation, 100ml can be used for at least ten Diamond Sets, and the remaining scraps can be used for the Bronze Set.

“Hahaha…”

Paul laughed wildly with the data.

“Cao is so black-hearted, an 80,000 yuan essence, finally sold for 3.8 million…”

“He is a natural businessman.”

“However, these formulas are ours.”

“Prepare the car, I want to go to this company personally, I want to talk about acquisition.”

“Yes, sir!”

……

On the other hand.

Cao Cheng put down the phone.

He slowly sipped his tea.

“It’s slower than I expected, it took five more days to find the raw material supplier. These foreign devils, their efficiency is really slow, they deserve to have their market swallowed by me.”

The Eldest Sister beside him spoke: “Although I don’t know what you’re planning, I feel like you’re playing with fire.”

Eldest Sister was off today.

Yes.

You heard correctly.

Eldest Sister took a day off.

After her recovery, the Eldest Sister, in addition to gradually cultivating her own aura, has even learned to be lazy.

Cao Cheng also regretted why he had treated her illness.

This family doesn’t support idle people.

Can’t you just work overtime?

What kind of vacation?

Look at this family, who has a vacation?

Second Sister, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister are all so busy.

How dare you take a vacation?

Eldest Sister pushed her gold-rimmed glasses, her tone slightly cold, completely unlike the previous “motherly” feeling.

Her unique flavor began to show little by little.

Eldest Sister said: “They are the top three cosmetics giants in the world. I can’t imagine what methods you have to accomplish this feat of swallowing an elephant. Don’t choke yourself to death before you swallow it.”

“You don’t understand.” Cao Cheng chuckled.

He picked up the teacup beside him; it was empty.

Helplessly, he put it down again.

Cao Cheng pointed to the teacup.

Eldest Sister glared at him angrily, but still picked up the kettle and poured him a cup.

Cao Cheng leaned back in his chair, with a righteous look on his face: “I don’t like money, you know that.”

“I do everything for the progress of humanity, to let ordinary people use better products.”

“Just like I produced Good Voice, I did it to let ordinary people enjoy the feast of sight and hearing, to raise the overall level of the entertainment industry. Making money is just a by-the-way thing.”

“This time is the same.”

“Do you know what international poverty alleviation is?”

“This is it.”

“International friends and competitors, including people all over the world, they all use chemical concocted skincare products, chemicals on their faces… tsk tsk tsk, this is making a sin.”

“So I can’t stand it, I can only research and develop pure natural herbal essence myself. Luckily, I know a little bit of traditional Chinese medicine, otherwise I would be powerless.”

“Do you understand my good intentions now?”

“…”

If Eldest Sister didn’t know Fifth Brother, she might have believed it.

I didn’t feel the good intentions.

But the bragging is very authentic.

As expected of you, Fifth Brother.

Eldest Sister snorted: “There are no outsiders in the family, can you speak human language?”

“I can’t imagine how you planned it, and you had to separate the essence formula, establish a small company, and then intentionally let those large factories know.”

“These formulas are worth hundreds of billions. Don’t lose everything and let Fourth Sister laugh you to death.”

“…”

Cao Cheng smiled: “Do you really want to know?”

Eldest Sister nodded: “Curious.”

Cao Cheng pointed to his shoulder.

Eldest Sister smiled and didn’t refuse, getting up and coming behind him to give him a shoulder rub.

……

Cao Cheng slowly opened his mouth, without concealing anything.

Some conspiracies are worthless once they are exposed.

This calculation is the same.

Before,

Young Master Cao specifically asked his mother-in-law for help.

He found a Tang family’s servant, or a white glove, to set up a cosmetics raw material supply company in Yunnan-Guizhou.

Then he gave the essence he developed to the other party, without the formula.

Then let the other party ‘sell’ it to Miracle Cosmetics.

This process must be followed, otherwise how can others find out?

Now, some tycoons headed by Olay have already taken the bait.

As long as they are not stupid, they will definitely buy the essence and use it in their own products. With their sales channels and global network, they can easily promote these products containing the essence to all high-end markets globally.

This is what Young Master Cao wants to see.

To put it bluntly.

The discrimination chain in this circle is too serious.

Even if your product is better.

But once they hear that it’s a product from the Eastern country, they will instinctively think you are a country bumpkin and will instinctively resist.

They may even suppress your progress and block your channels.

Young Master Cao is not afraid of being banned, he just doesn’t want trouble.

Instead of letting others plot against him, he would rather plot against others first.

I would rather be the villain…

No wonder we have the surname Cao.

In short,

The export of products will definitely have some setbacks.

On the contrary, these giants are familiar with high-level officials in various countries and are also sought after by many high-society people.

With their nearly hundred years of reputation, it is countless times easier for them to open any market than Young Master Cao.

So…

When their products become popular worldwide and they think they’ve made a fortune.

Cao Cheng will directly play a trick of ‘pulling the ladder from under’.

Take back the essence to Miracle Cosmetics.

After those high-society women and high-level women use the X essence, can they still use others?

Obviously not.

Then there will be only one channel to purchase, which is to find Miracle Cosmetics.

In other words.

Cao Cheng’s ultimate move.

Use your money, your channels, your reputation, your brand, to do my work!

The only loss.

Is just a little bit of this essence in the early stage.

It’s not really a loss, after all, these people paid money.

Cutting off their supply later can also receive countless negative emotions.

In and out.

Young Master Cao wins big.

“…”

After listening to Young Master Cao’s words.

Eldest Sister was stunned.

The massage hand had already stopped.

After a long time, she uttered a sentence, her voice a little dry: “You…”

“You…”

“Are you really not afraid of being beaten to death?”
