Ch 181: Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!

In an instant.

November.

Major Enterprises announced their third-quarter financial reports in the Secondary Market.

This year is the inaugural year of the mobile Internet. The Technology Sector and Smartphones saw considerable price increases, recovering from the previous global crisis’s slump.

But,

whether it’s the Technology Sector, or the Medical Sector, New Energy Sector, Non-ferrous Metal Sector, and so on, they are all just insignificant compared to the Cosmetics Industry.

The Cosmetics Industry has had a tremendously successful year.

Especially before the financial reports were released, expectations were already very high.

After the financial reports came out, there was another wave of soaring prices.

This also shows that Young Master Cao’s open strategy changed history; my dreams didn’t involve such exaggeration.

Year-on-year growth of 25.8%!

This data directly exploded.

This is the number one beauty group, and it still has this kind of price increase. What does this mean?

It means hurry up and buy.

If you don’t buy it now, you won’t be able to buy it later.

Charge!

Taking a closer look at the sales figures, there was a 3.5% increase in Western Europe, a 5.8% increase in North America, and the most impressive was a 15.5% increase in the Asia-Pacific region!

Asians are still rich.

Stocks soared continuously.

Cao Cheng also earned a lot…

That’s right.

Cao Cheng invested in the cosmetics industry. This wave filled his pockets, and he will gradually clear his holdings at a high point next year.

Then he’ll pull the ladder up after him and short sell again.

…

However, online, many people started to attack Young Master Cao.

Under both sides’ Weibo posts, the same group of people left comments, saying almost the same thing.

They generally said: “Young Master Cao, when are you going to list? We also want to buy some shares of your cosmetics. International brands are taking off, and if you go public, you can also take off, even if your production volume is low（Funny）”

“Young Master Cao, the international cosmetics industry is taking off, and I contributed to it.（Funny）”

“Young Master Cao, cosmetics are making money, you should also increase your production volume. My wife can’t buy your products and has to buy Olay. It’s not that I don’t support you, it’s that you’re not good enough.（Funny）”

“Young Master Cao…hang in there, the domestic cosmetics industry depends on you, anyway, I bought Lancôme.（Funny）”

“Young Master Cao…I bought Estée Lauder（Funny）”

“Young Master Cao, I bought Unilever（Funny）”

“Young Master Cao, I bought Chanel（Funny）”

“Hahahaha, you guys are too bad, it hurts my heart.”

Some of these are sarcasm, and some are memes; anyway, it seems quite happy.

Among them, there were also some veteran investors: “God of Stocks, God of Stocks, when will the stock commentary forum be updated? Those so-called experts are not as reliable as you.”

In response to the above comments.

Young Master Cao didn’t hold back and directly posted: “I don’t care what cosmetics you bought, anyway, I bought their stocks, feeling great（Funny）”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Netizens were shocked.

Are you human?

Buying the competitor’s stock?

Damn.

What kind of bizarre operation is this?

But on second thought, if you can’t win, just join them.

Moreover, Young Master Cao has the reputation of ‘God of Stocks’ and ‘Financial Thief’. If he can’t seize this opportunity, it’s really not in line with Young Master Cao’s forward-looking level.

A group of people were still mocking Young Master Cao just now, and now they feel numb.

But,

it feels strange.

A strange feeling that can’t be described.

Following Young Master Cao’s words, the next day in the Secondary Market, cosmetics prices rose again, and many people who were ‘slow on the uptake’ began to enter the market, further pushing up the stock price.

In a blink of an eye, it was December.

The stock price of cosmetics only fell slightly, but it was just a so-called technical correction, and some people took profits and cashed out.

Everyone in this month earned at least 20%!

This is not over yet.

In December, after the stock prices of major international beauty brands stabilized, a piece of news once again set the Internet ablaze.

‘TC’, the company that owns the X essence formula, announced a piece of news.

CEO Li of TC spoke out online: “Our X essence formula was stolen by an industrial spy last night. We have reported it to the police, and the suspect is likely a European or American peer. The following is a reward of one hundred million US dollars. We hope that all parties will provide clues. Any organization or individual who helps us recover the formula will be rewarded with 20% of our equity!”

An uproar.

This kind of business secret is usually not revealed.

Even if it was really stolen, either it would be resolved privately, or it would be kept quiet and not made public.

At least it would not be made public so loudly, and a huge reward wouldn’t be offered.

There is clearly a driving force behind this news.

Not long after TC released the news, almost the entire network knew about it, and even some foreign platforms and major media outlets reported on it.

Anyone who pays attention to the cosmetics industry, or some stock investors, can easily see this news.

The stock price, which had originally stabilized, rose against the headwind again.

Although it is uncertain who stole it, since TC said it was from Europe and America, it is most likely one of those leading companies.

The most important thing is that none of these leading companies have come forward to clarify.

It’s as if they haven’t seen TC’s reward and announcement at all.

This makes one think deeply.

Not denying is admitting.

Isn’t this the expected situation in the secondary market again?

Once the leading international cosmetics companies master the formula, then the cost and profit will completely belong to them.

The stock market has a story.

The stock price will naturally soar.

…

“Damn, I just pocketed my profits and then this news came out? I’m going to miss out… I lost one hundred million yuan, woo woo woo…”

“Buy high, buy high, it’s still going up, this thing has no limit.”

“Damn it, these pirates are used to stealing things, right? TC is pitiful, Young Master Cao is even more pitiful…”

With the two days of soaring prices.

Young Master Cao finally spoke out: “The market has risks, enter cautiously…《Records of the Grand Historian, Biographies of Merchants》says: ‘When prices reach their peak, they will reverse to become cheap. When prices reach their lowest, they will reverse to become expensive.’ Everyone decide for yourselves, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

“??”

“What does Young Master Cao mean?”

“I think I understand, but I also think I don’t.”

“I majored in liberal arts, the meaning of this sentence is that when prices rise to a certain limit, they will gradually fall, when prices fall to a certain limit, they will gradually rise… You can understand it as extremes turning into opposites.”

“Understood.”

“What did you understand?”

“I understood the meaning of the sentence.”

“Damn, I understand too. The problem now is, why is Young Master Cao saying this?”

“Combining the context, it is obviously telling everyone not to chase the high prices, there are risks, be cautious, it may fall, even sharply decline, and finally telling you not to say that he didn’t say anything.”

“Completely understood.”

“The God of Stocks is always like this, he used to be mysterious and unpredictable in the forum… I’m withdrawing, wishing everyone good fortune.”

“No way? It’s just the beginning, it should last for a while, right?”

“Anyway, I’m withdrawing, securing my profits, I’ve never lost money when I followed his advice!”

“I don’t believe it, I admit he’s very powerful in the domestic market, but this is abroad… Is he sure it will work?”

…

Some believe.

Some don’t.

But at least more than half of them couldn’t resist greed and didn’t listen, wanting to wait a little longer.

Waiting is indeed not wrong, it will still rise, it obviously hasn’t reached its peak yet.

But can ordinary people sell at the peak?

Don’t think too much.

The last copper coin is not earned by ordinary people.

When the peak starts to fall, they may not be able to escape.

Even if they escape at the beginning, most people won’t run, they feel it’s a correction.

In the end, those people are buried.

Of course,

Young Master Cao doesn’t pay much attention to the Secondary Market; the traps he set are already in place.

CEO Li’s news is ‘real’, the industrial spy did steal the formula, but the formula is fake.

It’s just a way to trick them.

And to make another profit in the Secondary Market.

Just wait until next year.

…

December arrived, and the movies were about to be released.

The premiere ceremony was held in Beijing.

Young Master Cao didn’t go.

But judging from the subsequent news reports, the premiere ceremony was well-held; at least the topic and gimmick were full.

Especially Ge You, he starred in both movies.

Coincidentally, the two movies were released at the same time.

One is 《Let the Bullets Fly》, the other is 《If You Are the One 2》.

The clashing release dates were already a topic, and the fact that both lead actors were Ge You added to the buzz.

And the previous flame war between Young Master Cao and Little Steel Cannon.

They’ve been arguing recently.

As the movie release date gets closer, the flame war is becoming more frequent.

Now who doesn’t know about these two movies?

Even those who don’t pay attention know the release dates of the two movies.

…

At the premiere, a reporter asked a question.

The question was very tricky.

“Mr. Ge, everyone knows you are the lead actor in both movies, so which one do you think will win at the box office this year’s New Year’s film season?”

Ge You said: “No matter which movie wins, I won’t lose.”

Everyone laughed.

Humorously resolved.

But the reporter continued to ask: “Mr. Ge, do you know about the bet between Mr. Cao and Director Feng?”

“The naked run one?” Ge You asked back in surprise.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Ge You also laughed: “I certainly know about such an interesting thing, but the bet has nothing to do with If You Are the One 2, it’s a comparison between Director Jiang’s film and Great Earthquake, so there’s no need to say more in this context, let’s see the results.”

A veteran of the martial world.

He resolved it with a few words.

Then the reporter asked Director Jiang again.

Director Jiang also frequently made golden sentences.

Occasionally he mentioned Mr. Cao.

After all, the online arguments are outrageous now, and even though Young Master Cao is not the biggest investor, he is still a topic that cannot be avoided.

…

In an instant.

Let the Bullets Fly was officially released, and the cinema chains invested in by Young Master Cao increased the number of screenings.

The publicity effect was also quite explosive, many people knew about it, and the number of viewers also increased significantly.

The midnight show exceeded one million yuan at the box office, creating the highest box office record for a midnight show.

By the end of the first day, the box office exceeded 37 million yuan.

It broke the 36 million yuan box office record of 《Great Earthquake》on its first day.

Cao Cheng immediately @ed Little Cannon.

“Little Cannon, the weather is cold, why don’t you choose a good day, a warmer day to run? After all, you’re getting older, if you accidentally get frostbite somewhere, you really won’t be able to use it.”

Fans: “I hate that I understand this instantly, hahaha…”

“Director Little Cannon, there aren’t many good days left.”

“Just the first day, Young Master Cao, you’re too bad.”

“The first day is enough to show the result.”

…

“Damn!”

Little Cannon was furious.

He smashed two cups.

He shouted: “Impossible.”

“Absolutely impossible!”

“This kid is cheating, intentionally arranging more screenings, even stealing box office revenue, damn it, cheating.”

His wife, Old Xu, shook her head.

She also understands some of the rules in the industry.

Whether it’s cheating…it’s actually easy to tell.

But now she can’t say anything, she can only wait.

After all, it’s only the first day, no need to rush.

Actually,

the key is not the bet, after all, Little Cannon running or not running is just a matter of losing face, even if he cheats, it’s fine.

The key problem now is If You Are the One 2, which is about to be released.

With the momentum of 《Let the Bullets Fly》, 《If You Are the One 2》 may be completely destroyed.

Haven’t you seen many companies already adjusting their release dates?

Everyone is postponing it.

Otherwise,

with this momentum, the cinema chains won’t give you many screenings, everyone wants to make money.

In this industry, the stronger the momentum, the more screenings, the more screenings, the stronger the momentum.

Who cares whether those small movies have screenings or not?

Although Little Cannon is not a small director, nor is it a small movie, but…it will definitely be affected.

Especially when the rating comes out.

Nine points!

This is a double harvest of reputation and box office.

A giant has arrived.

Avoid it.

Little Cannon’s wife, Old Xu, said: “Why don’t we avoid it?”

“Avoid what the hell…”
