Ch 195: Eco-park Opening, Beautiful Misses, Envious Of Young Master Cao Every Day

Paul, having arrived in the European Region, was contacting his friends.

Including his former Chinese assistant, whom he had also found.

There was no other reason; he was simply used to them.

Paul’s “recovery” surprised many friends. After asking, they learned it was due to mysterious Eastern medical techniques.

Truly extraordinary.

Paul was now a little fatter and stronger, and his complexion had improved.

In his temporary Office, Paul looked at the online news and asked, “June 22nd? What holiday is that?”

Paul knew his current boss, Young Master Cao, was a man who valued the sense of ritual.

It was impossible to just choose any day.

Like the spring press conference, that was a good day. He still remembered the holiday was called Awakening of Insects!

Therefore,

June 22nd this year must also be an auspicious day.

The assistant said, “It should be the Summer Solstice.”

Paul had an “I knew it” expression. He said proudly, “I knew it was a good day. As expected of the boss, the day chosen is really good! Summer Solstice, the name sounds nice, and it’s a solar term… uh, but what’s the significance?”

The assistant rolled their eyes.

Damn, you don’t know, and you’re flattering me?

However,

the assistant also knew that this was Paul’s bottom line. Whoever he works for, he will always love his work!

Previously, he was an adversary of Cao Cheng, and they used a lot of intrigue.

Now he has betrayed… uh, defected, switched sides, so he naturally has to praise and flatter desperately.

The assistant explained, “The Summer Solstice is the moment of the year with the longest day and shortest night, symbolizing the victory of light and warmth.”

Slap!

Paul clapped his hands excitedly, “Good omen, good omen! Light and victory, good, good, good~~~ As expected of the boss, there must be experts around him, no, maybe the boss is the expert.”

The assistant was speechless, but also felt they had much to learn.

After all, Paul could still flatter so passionately after half a lifetime in the business. Ordinary people couldn’t do it.

For example, themself.

In their thirties, they were very steady and wouldn’t usually flatter, always feeling embarrassed.

That’s why they’re the CEO!

The assistant adjusted their mood and said, “The Summer Solstice also represents the sun’s highest position in the sky, symbolizing the peak of vitality and energy.”

“Vitality!”

Paul took a deep breath and said excitedly, “Vitality is good, the stronger the vitality the better. I’ve died once, so I know the importance of vitality. No matter how much money you make, it’s useless if you don’t live to spend it. As expected of the boss, it’s so auspicious.”

“…”

The assistant glanced at him, adjusting their attitude to be more excited, “Mr. Paul, you’re absolutely right. Vitality is the foundation of a person and a company. With you here, the East Region will have tenacious vitality, and your brilliance will shine across the West.”

“Oh~~” Paul was happy but waved his hand humbly, “It’s still the boss who’s amazing. We are just… basking in the glory. Yes, we are just basking in the glory.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The assistant nodded repeatedly.

The two began to flatter each other.

They forgot the time.

Half an hour later, the assistant had praised the Summer Solstice to the heavens.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to continue flattering each other, but a guest had arrived.

Looking at the old man who arrived.

Paul stood up and spoke in the local dialect.

“It’s a pleasure to see you again, my friend!” Paul gave an enthusiastic hug, then said to the assistant, “Go, get Mr. Frank a cup of American coffee, it’s his favorite.”

“Thank You.”

Frank smiled.

After the assistant served the coffee and left.

The Office door closed.

Frank said, “Paul, it seems you don’t plan to retire?”

Paul chuckled, “It’s too early. You know, I can’t stay idle, and I’m not willing to give up. You should know what I’ve sacrificed for Olay, but what have I gotten after I got sick?”

Frank shook his head, “Your body is not suitable for hard work. This is for your own good, it’s the Board of Directors’ decision.”

“Go to hell with ‘for your own good’,” Paul suddenly stood up, like a lion or tiger, fiercely staring at Frank, “I tell you, Frank, before I didn’t have a choice, today, you don’t have a choice.”

Frank leaned back tactically.

He wasn’t used to such an assertive Paul.

He did feel the strong “killing intent” from Paul.

Frank said, “You asked me to come here privately, what do you want? It’s not just to threaten me, is it?”

Paul smiled wryly, turning the computer screen around, “Take a good look before you speak.”

Frank stared at the computer for a few seconds.

“Miracle Cosmetics’ new product launch, the new X Extract?” Frank’s brows furrowed, “Gimmick!”

Paul shook his head, “Whether it’s a gimmick or not doesn’t matter. The important thing is that, once it’s real, Olay will face a devastating blow. You will lose all your high-end, high-society users. Those damned consumers will use their toes to choose. They will not hesitate to buy Miracle Cosmetics’ products, while Olay and you will only gradually struggle to survive, until finally bankruptcy.”

“…”

Frank knew Paul was right.

There is no loyalty in business.

Only profit is eternal.

Especially consumers.

Once the news about Miracle Cosmetics is true, and they have a new X Extract, the situation will reverse.

In the past, how Olay and those companies blocked Miracle Cosmetics, in the future Miracle Cosmetics will block Olay and other large factories.

As for those consumers, there may be some “loyal” people, but how many?

How long can that loyalty last?

Including Frank, he didn’t have any loyalty.

He was just a shareholder.

He was also after profit.

Once these factories of Olay were going to collapse, they would quickly exit before the collapse, and even short sell, finally kicking Olay.

This is business.

…

Frank said in a deep voice, “So, why did you ask me to come here today? What do you need me to do?”

Paul slowly sat back on the sofa, picked up his coffee, he wasn’t in a hurry.

Frank also picked up his coffee.

After drinking some coffee, they both lit a cigar and puffed away.

Until two minutes later.

Paul slowly spoke, “I want to acquire Olay.”

“…” The cigar in Frank’s hand almost fell, he trembled, surprised, looking at Paul.

He didn’t understand.

Olay’s situation is not very good now, even though the financial reports for the last year and the first half of this year were very good.

But everyone knows that after losing the X Essence Extract, if it is not replenished in time, it will face a gradual decline.

This year will also be the last glorious year.

Acquire Olay at this time?

Besides, do you have the money?

Paul saw Frank’s doubts, Paul smiled, raising his cigar:

“You should know that I’ve been in the East Region for more than ten years, I have many friends, a lot of connections, I have a good relationship with CEO Li, and a good relationship with Mr. Cao of Miracle Cosmetics.”

“As long as there really is X Extract, I can get it.”

“What?” Frank was shocked.

From the sound of it, Paul had confirmed that Miracle Cosmetics had the formula and extract.

Paul said, “But I don’t want to work for Olay anymore, Frank, I need your support, and I need you to help spread unfavorable news about Olay internally. I want to take this opportunity to acquire Olay’s equity.”

“I’m going to kick out all those damned people on the Board of Directors.”

Frank pondered.

Weighing the pros and cons.

After a while,

Frank looked at Paul suspiciously, “Have you defected to Miracle Cosmetics?”

Paul smiled wryly, “I defected to money. Who would refuse money? Would you?”

Frank was speechless.

Paul extended his hand, “I hope we have a happy cooperation.”

Frank sighed, “I need to consider it.”

“Of course.”

Paul didn’t retract his hand, keeping it extended, “But I will invite Ferland next, and you don’t have much time to consider.”

Frank directly extended his hand and shook Paul’s hand, “Happy cooperation!”

“Hahaha, happy cooperation.”

Olay Group had many factions, but no matter which faction, it was a family business.

The Old Lady would leave her assets to her daughter, the future First Lady of Olay.

Therefore,

Paul’s opponent was only one, the Bei Dang family.

However, this seemingly lonely mother and child family also has Barnacle Capital behind them.

Of course,

behind many global beauty empires, there is Barnacle Capital.

…

In a flash, it was June 22nd.

The guests invited were all competitors or wealthy merchants. Although there was no asset verification process, most of those invited were well-known figures.

This was also the first time Miracle Eco-Park welcomed guests.

“???”

“This is a business park?”

“This is… a Prince’s Mansion, isn’t it?”

The visitors were all dumbfounded.

What about the promised business eco-park?

The factories?

The office buildings?

The conference hall?

The product showroom?

As far as the eye could see, there were carved beams and painted columns, artificial hills and fountains, courtyards and pavilions… are we playing in the Grand View Garden?

You could even say it’s a retro imperial garden.

You were sold a piece of land for commercial use.

And you made it look like this?

As expected of you, Sixth Brother.

However,

it must be said that many wealthy merchants suddenly understood.

Secretly cursing themselves for being so stupid.

They said that villas could not be built on commercially used land.

Then I won’t build villas.

Can I build a garden mansion, and tell everyone that this is a commercial eco-park, as long as I set aside a large area for people to work in, it meets the regulations.

Can’t we let people relax after work?

Who doesn’t like a good company environment and good conditions?

Right?

Brilliant!

The greenery here is extremely high, and the air seems to have a sweet smell, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Very livable.

…

Just as everyone was marveling at the garden-style business park, no one knew that the number of intelligent devices here was appalling.

Young Master Cao specifically allocated a large batch of intelligent products.

While setting up an R&D department to research and develop the products, he began laying intelligent lines during the renovation.

Now the entire park is full of cameras, drones, robots, robot dogs…

All hidden.

Young Master Cao only needs one instruction to mobilize all the intelligent systems and equipment in the park.

This is a product of the combination of ancient and modern.

Future technology will only become more and more, and more and more mysterious.

…

8 pm sharp.

The lights in the elegant garden conference hall changed, dimming.

The showroom, where people were originally chatting and socializing, instantly became quiet.

“Distinguished guests, CEOs, it is a pleasure to have you all here, to attend this appointment of ancient charm and beauty…”

The host on the stage slowly appeared with the sound.

Wearing a long qipao embroidered with peonies, the woman’s smile was amiable, her voice crisp and pleasant, gentle and extremely graceful, like a stream flowing through one’s heart, making people unconsciously focus all their attention on her.

A kind of indescribable oriental beauty made many lecherous old men’s eyes light up.

Not just these CEOs.

The livestream chat was also constantly scrolling.

“A little lag?”

“It’s frozen…”

“Mine’s not lagging, wow, this beauty… amazing, this qipao… amazing, this temperament… amazing, these legs… amazing!”

“Wow~~~”

“Which female star is this? I’ve never seen her before.”

“Such a beautiful Miss, it’s a pity to be a host, I envy Young Master Cao every day, Young Master Cao is so happy!”

“Yeah, so lucky.”

“???”
