Ch 166: One Hundred Million Yuan For Your Formula, Do You Know What Concept That Is?

Eldest Sister couldn’t imagine that Fifth Brother would come up with such a method.

This is already a desperate measure.

Once it’s exposed afterward.

It will inevitably be a fight to the death.

This is more insidious than a typical stock market business war.

It’s even a face-to-face attack.

It’s easy to be wanted and assassinated.

Don’t think it’s impossible.

Some tycoons are backed by national leaders, and some are ‘squids’.

How much net profit do these tycoons have in a year?

Hundreds of billions…dollars.

How many taxes and employees can they have?

Moreover,

Eldest Sister, as a powerful woman, clearly knows that many industries are pillars of some countries.

If you mess with this pillar, it’s equivalent to offending those factions that benefit.

“If you say something else, I might worry.”

“But you said being beaten to death…I’m really not afraid.”

Cao Cheng was indeed not afraid.

But on second thought.

He himself might not die, but the people around him might.

He needs to make more preparations.

Establish a security defense.

This matter had been considered before, after all, the ‘Silk Road’ needs to be planned, this is the direction of the future.

Early planning, early advantages.

But it’s chaotic over there, so some Security needs to be prepared, directly registered overseas, to ensure the safety of the company’s foreign interests.

This is very necessary.

Cao Cheng picked up his teacup: “Eldest Sister, now that you’re recovered, your personality should change, don’t be so afraid, so what if you offend someone?”

“Doing business, being afraid of this and that…you might as well not do it.”

“…”

Eldest Sister’s mindset hadn’t really changed.

To get to the bottom of it.

The Ren Family is a somewhat well-known wealthy person in Zhonghai, but only a small wealthy person.

She doesn’t have the arrogant confidence of Young Master Cao.

She shook her head: “I don’t have your good mentality.”

“If you don’t, learn and see more, or, I’ll help you manage the family company? Come be my assistant for a few years?”

Cao Cheng pointed to his shoulders: “Don’t stop, keep pressing, it feels good!”

“…” Eldest Sister glared at him angrily.

His abacus beads were all broken, okay.

She started again, helping this stinky younger brother massage his shoulders.

Neither of them spoke after that.

Young Master Cao was closing his eyes and enjoying himself.

Eldest Sister was reviewing Young Master Cao’s calculations in her mind.

Now everything makes sense.

Whether it was the midnight countdown in the early stage or the press conference later, it wasn’t aimed at consumers, but at the layout of cosmetics tycoons.

This plan is simple.

But sometimes, the simpler things are, the more unsuspecting they are.

Think carefully.

The only thing to note about this plan is that there can be no possibility of leakage of the essence formula.

Otherwise, once the opponent’s laboratory reverse-engineers the essence formula.

Then Young Master Cao’s plan will be declared bankrupt.

And it will also seem very silly.

…

A moment.

Eldest Sister asked: “Essence, won’t people be able to reverse-engineer the formula?”

Cao Cheng said: “Absolutely impossible.”

“So confident?”

“You don’t understand!”

“??”

Eldest Sister gritted her teeth, secretly applying more force with her hand.

This stinky Fifth Brother.

He always says ‘you don’t understand’, it’s annoying, making it seem like she’s a fool.

When she was managing the company, this kid was still playing chess with the old man.

“Hiss~~”

“Oh, oh, oh, good, good, this strength is very good, Eldest Sister, were you slacking off just now?”

“…”

Eldest Sister was furious and punched Cao Cheng’s shoulder.

“Right, right, right, just hammer like this, hammer me well, just this strength…don’t be stingy with your strength, I’ll treat you to meat at noon.”

Eldest Sister couldn’t do anything about him.

Unlike Second Sister.

If she really got serious, Young Master Cao would feel some pain.

But Eldest Sister couldn’t.

She was delicate and had no strength, even Fourth Sister was much stronger than her.

It’s better for her to wear glasses and play intellectual.

Now she can play intellectual and domineering at the same time.

The domineering nature in her was gradually released, and as time went on, she would definitely be the domineering eldest sister of the family in the future.

It’s already showing signs.

As for her worries, whether the formula can be reverse-engineered, it’s highly likely, as long as they have time.

But…

Cao Cheng added some ‘Cultivation World herbs’ that can only be drawn from treasure chests to this essence.

Blue Star doesn’t have this variety, at most, they can find a substitute.

But.

The herbs from the two worlds are different, if you forcefully use Blue Star’s herbs as a substitute, the consequences are unclear.

The formula, it’s really one medicine, one cure.

So,

Young Master Cao wasn’t worried about it leaking at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have played this desperate move.

…

…

Olay is the most sincere.

And they were the first to go to Yunnan and Guizhou.

They found a small factory that seemed to be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Paul stood by the car, looking at the colorful, dilapidated iron gate.

“Are you sure this is the place?”

“Yes, sir.”

Paul shook his head: “Unbelievable, it’s really unbelievable, the essence is actually produced in this kind of factory, now I have more confidence in the acquisition.”

Subsequently.

Paul openly revealed his identity.

Then a middle-aged boss came out to receive him.

It was just different from what Paul had imagined.

The middle-aged boss shook his head: “We don’t accept any form of acquisition or investment, you want cosmetics raw material X, I can sell it to you, but not the formula.”

Paul held up three fingers: “Thirty million, I just want the formula.”

“Not selling.”

“Forty million.”

“Not selling!”

“…” Paul raised his hand to rub his bald head, gritting his teeth, shouting: “One hundred million, including your company.”

“Not selling.”

Paul was a little angry: “I’m talking about Euros.”

“Not selling.”

Paul gritted his teeth and looked back at his secretary: “Doesn’t he speak anything else?”

The secretary also persuaded: “CEO Li, our Mr. Paul is very sincere, why don’t you make an offer.”

“Not selling!” CEO Li said calmly.

Both of them were about to spit blood.

Are you a broken record?

One hundred million Euros, do you know what that means?

CEO Li looked calm: “I don’t need money, I want respect, if we can cooperate, we can cooperate, if not, please leave.”

“Wait.”

Paul helplessly stopped him: “I need the essence, X essence.”

“How much?”

“As much as you have, I’ll take it all.”

After Paul finished speaking, he added: “Of course, we will strictly control the quality of the products. If the effect doesn’t reach the level of Miracle Cosmetics, you not only have to return the money, but also pay compensation.”

CEO Li smiled faintly: “Then I’m sorry, I’m not selling it to you.”

“…”

Paul urgently said: “Wait, Mr. Li, this is a business cooperation, we need to sign a contract, you should ensure our safety, if the product is not good, the loss will be too great for us.”

CEO Li nodded: “We can sign a contract, but I don’t like your tone just now.”

Paul smiled wryly: “Don’t you advocate business is business? What’s wrong with my tone?”

“Your superior tone, I don’t like it, I don’t need your customer, Olay is very powerful, but so what?”

“Sorry, I’m not being superior, it’s a habit.”

“A habit of being superior?”

“No…Mr. Li…” Paul felt that Mandarin couldn’t explain what he wanted to express.

Finally, after the secretary’s humble explanations, both sides sat down again.

“I still have a batch of inventory, but part of it is Miracle Cosmetics’ goods, we will ship them next week.”

Paul said: “I want their goods too.”

“This won’t work.” CEO Li shook his head.

Paul held up two fingers: “I’ll pay double the price.”

“No.”

Paul felt like he was falling into a broken record mode again.

Paul said: “Triple.”

“No!”

“…”

The secretary asked: “CEO Li, our Mr. Paul is very sincere, also, what Miracle Cosmetics can give you, Olay can double, even triple.”

CEO Li hesitated for a few seconds.

Paul’s eyes lit up, it seemed promising.

Paul said: “Mr. Li, did you sign a contract?”

CEO Li nodded: “Of course.”

Paul smiled: “Then according to the contract, is it stipulated that the goods must be given to Miracle Cosmetics next week?”

CEO Li hesitated: “Not really, it only says to provide annually…However, we verbally agreed to ship a batch of goods to Zhonghai every month.”

Paul laughed: “Then there’s no problem, Mr. Li, your contract only stipulates how much to provide annually, you can give it to them on the last day, the rest of the time, give it to us, I’ll pay triple.”

“Also,”

“I can give Mr. Li some benefits privately.”

Paul had been in China for ten years, he knew too much about the internal operations of some transactions.

And this doesn’t violate the spirit of the contract.

“Okay, you’ve convinced me.” CEO Li said.

Paul laughed, extending his hand: “Mr. Li, happy cooperation, of course, if Mr. Li wants to sell the formula or needs money in the future, you can tell me, I’m really, really sincere in investing in your company.”

“If Mr. Li joins Olay, I believe Mr. Li will be the director of raw material acquisition and research, or a regional CEO.”

This is a fat position.

Directly painted a big picture.

Seeing the movement in CEO Li’s eyes, Paul was even happier.

Then the contract was signed.

And the contract stipulates that all the inventory in these months needs to be handed over to Olay.

As for the triple price.

It was indeed high.

But the profit was still ridiculously large.

Eight Wan of essence can produce nearly four million yuan of cosmetics.

So tripling it is nothing.

Even…

Miracle Cosmetics will be out of stock, and then Olay can raise the price again.

Specializing in selling diamond-level cosmetics.

Selling them one by one.

One bottle costs 380,000 yuan!

Delightful.

…

In a blink of an eye, two weeks passed.

Paul received two pieces of good news.

One is that headquarters researched the essence, and then came the reward order.

The other is that Miracle Cosmetics has limited its products.

Diamond sets, only ten sets are sold to the public every day.

Gold, one hundred sets.

Silver, one thousand sets.

Even bronze is limited, only five thousand sets.

This shows…Miracle Cosmetics’ essence inventory is almost running out.

“Hahahaha…”

Paul laughed loudly.

These days were his high moments, he not only got the essence, but also received a reward from headquarters.

And some other competitors almost came to beg him every day.

After all, he signed a contract with CEO Li, and took all the goods.

Others were one step too late.

Now they can’t buy them even if they want to, they can only beg Olay to cooperate.

After laughing.

Paul’s face suddenly changed, clutching his abdomen.

The secretary nervously said: “Sir, what’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing, my stomach hurts a little.”

“Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?”

“…”

Paul was about to refuse, but his raised hand paused in mid-air.

Suddenly thinking of something.

Paul said: “Arrange the car!”
