Ch 224: Young Master Cao’s Four Characteristics: Simply, Kind, Innocent, And Unpretentious!
This live stream show-off allowed fans to see Young Master Cao’s other side.
The wife fans went wild.
Tonight’s Young Master Cao perfectly overlapped with the domineering CEO in their minds.
Two days after the live stream ended, the wife fans still haven’t emerged from the CEO’s aura.
It’s been damn wet every day.
Major video websites, fan forums, online forums, Weibo… all disseminated edited live stream clips, with added background music.
No matter how many times they watched Young Master Cao enter, then looked at the expressions of others, that inexplicable sense of satisfaction made the fans watch it again and again.
Emotion value continuously soared and accumulated.
This live stream was truly not a loss at all.
Although it also attracted a large number of anti-fans, the number of anti-fans in these two days has exceeded the original number several times.
But anti-fans are also fans.
If they are fans, they have emotion value.
Good thing!
Anti-fans said that Young Master Cao’s live stream was very underwhelming, without any practical content.
Young Master Cao expressed disdain, saying “Wait ten years and see; two CEOs can still argue during a live stream. You just lack experience.”
…
On the other hand, cooperation was reached with international competitors.
That night’s live stream lasted less than an hour, starting at nine o’clock to discuss cooperation, and talking until eleven o’clock at night.
Basically, everyone who wanted to cooperate had signed the agreement.
The content of the agreement was also very straightforward; in one sentence, it was to let Young Master Cao make an equity investment with technology, becoming one of the major shareholders of major groups.
This kind of business cooperation is generally very difficult to achieve.
But X extract is too amazing.
It has also been widely accepted by consumers, which leaves international competitors with no choice.
This isn’t something you can block if you want to, or not use if you want to.
The result of others having it and you not having it is a continuous decline in market share, with market share being eroded every day.
Large enterprises may still be able to survive, at worst giving up the cosmetics business and preserving the competitive advantages of other business segments.
But this time…
Cao Cheng again brought out four kinds of elemental formulas, ready to subvert all daily chemical products.
This left many daily chemical groups with no way to retreat.
Either cooperate or fight.
Cooperation requires giving up some equity, meaning that the shares of all shareholders will be diluted.
And fighting…
They’ve fought before, and they can’t win, they absolutely can’t win, unless all the enterprises in the East Region are banned.
But is that possible?
Absolutely not.
As for increasing protective tariffs, it only slows down the speed of the East Region’s enterprises’ consumption, and cannot change the final outcome.
Therefore,
The competitors currently have almost no choice but to submit.
…
Three days after the live stream ended.
Competitors in various regions were holding board of directors meetings, and the arguments were very fierce.
This concerns everyone’s interests.
Moreover, not every group’s main business is cosmetics, or rather, not every group’s strategic direction is cosmetics.
Some specialize in perfume or bags, while daily chemicals are just a sideline, a piece of their territory.
Although this piece of territory is indispensable, it is not the most important.
Of course,
No matter what you say, the reason for the arguments is still that these formulas and elements all come from Miracle Cosmetics in the East Region.
This is a kind of prejudice.
If it were a different person, if Cao Cheng were from the barnacle tribe, these problems wouldn’t exist.
However,
In the end, nearly 60% of the competitors signed strategic partnerships with technology equity investments, and specifically sent teams to the East Region.
The remaining 40% huddled together for warmth, preparing to withstand the cold winter.
At the same time, they are also preparing to make some business adjustments and integrations, gradually separating the daily chemical industry from the core industry and undergoing a transformation.
Until Paul from Olay found them and proposed a “circuitous route to save the country” cooperation plan.
Paul proposed acquiring their daily chemical business under the name of Olay.
Olay signed a contract with Miracle Cosmetics, so any company acquired by Olay can naturally use the latest formulas and X extract.
This is a kind of indirect market rescue.
Rather than being acquired by Miracle and having their market share gradually swallowed up by Miracle, it’s better to let Olay invest, even if the current price is lower, it’s better than ending up with nothing.
This major industry acquisition lasted for two months.
It was called the “2012 Great Reshuffle” within the industry.
…
…
During the Great Reshuffle.
Nothing outside affected Cao Cheng.
He was preparing to celebrate the New Year happily.
He appeared once at the year-end meetings of various companies and personally gave some red envelopes to outstanding employees.
He also took three days to visit Beijing, visiting the Mature Woman and his father-in-law.
This time, the father-in-law also gave face, taking half a day out of his busy schedule to drink with Cao Cheng at home and talk about the marriage.
The date was set for the end of the world, December!
“This year’s New Year, come home with me?” Cao Cheng invited.
With the marriage settled, it was basically a confirmation of spending their lives together.
Tang Xin also indulged him; for Young Master Cao, who likes reciprocity, she naturally gave the biggest support to the woman of the house.
“I haven’t even entered the family yet; if I go back to celebrate the New Year with you now, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” Tang Xin said reservedly.
“That’s true, then stay in Beijing; I’m leaving.”
“Come back.”
Tang Xin scolded angrily.
Cao Cheng laughed, embracing her: “Let’s go, my little wife, but before we go back to Zhonghai, we have to go back to Sanjiang.”
“Your hometown?”
“Yes, go back and see the ancestral house and the neighbors, mainly to see my mother and offer incense.” Cao Cheng said.
It’s not the time to visit graves.
But since the wedding date has been set, it is also necessary to inform her about this matter.
This is also a sense of ritual.
“Mhm!” This time Tang Xin didn’t refuse, and she felt Young Master Cao’s importance to her.
After staying in Beijing for two days, the two bid farewell to the Mature Woman and drove towards Sanjiang.
They didn’t see the father-in-law.
During the end of the year, the father-in-law also had to go out to visit various places.
…
…
On the other hand.
Zhonghai.
Bang bang bang—
Second Sister Ren Fanxing, in a sporty outfit, was sweating profusely.
The strands of sweat on her temples made her hair not as flying as usual, but it didn’t affect her beauty at all.
Just those long legs, kicking the sandbag bang bang, showed the sufficient force; an ordinary man couldn’t withstand even one of her whip kicks.
After being modified from the inside out with some ‘three-no-product’ from Cao Cheng, her bones were transformed, and her strength had improved by at least one level.
The edges of the sandbag were already cracked, precarious, and about to break at any moment.
“Ha~!”
A roar.
Whoosh—
The sandbag finally couldn’t bear the violence of Ren Fanxing, breaking off a section, and the filling fell and flowed out.
Clap clap clap!!
At this time, applause came from behind.
Ren Fanxing turned around.
She didn’t know when Eldest Sister had already stood at the doorway.
“Phew…”
She exhaled.
Second Sister: “When did you come?”
“Just now.”
Eldest Sister smiled: “Seeing that you haven’t rested after dinner, and you haven’t been drinking, and you ran here to exercise, what is it? Something wrong at work?”
“Yeah!!” Second Sister picked up the towel, responding.
Then she used the towel to wipe the sweat off her face, covering her facial expression.
Her bad mood had nothing to do with work.
But what exactly it was, she couldn’t say, and no one could share it with her.
She couldn’t possibly say it was because Cao Cheng and Tang Xin went to Beijing, right?
She herself was not in a proper position; she had no reason to be jealous.
Although she was prepared.
But when faced with it, her heart still ached.
“I thought it was because Fifth Brother wasn’t home that made you feel bad.” Eldest Sister stepped forward, looking around, seemingly casually said, but her eyes were observing Second Sister.
“…”
Second Sister’s heart skipped a beat, subconsciously putting away the towel and looking at Eldest Sister.
Eldest Sister looked sideways and met Second Sister’s gaze, smiling slightly: “Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?”
Second Sister remembered what Young Master Cao had told her a few days ago.
Sure enough.
Eldest Sister still came to ask.
Second Sister, according to what she had considered, since her acting skills were not good, she simply wouldn’t act.
Second Sister shook her head: “Fifth Brother isn’t home; it’s so quiet at home. Why would I feel bad?”
This stubborn look made it clear that her words didn’t match her heart.
Not to mention that Eldest Sister was a shrewd person.
From Eldest Sister’s eyes, it could be seen that she was very clever, because her eyes weren’t clear.
Unlike Young Master Cao.
Young Master Cao’s eyes had the pure feeling of a university student, simple, kind, innocent, and unpretentious!
“Really?”
Eldest Sister shrugged noncommittally: “But Second Sister, you know, you can’t lie; when you lie, your eyes always subconsciously avoid eye contact, lacking your usual firmness.”
“Do you remember when you were a child, you broke an antique vase at home?”
“It happened to be when Mom was in a bad mood; you didn’t dare to admit it, so you said it was Fourth Sister who did it.”
“That was the first time you lied.”
“Mom probably knew you were lying, but she didn’t expose you.”
“I also know you’re lying, so I didn’t expose you either.”
“And Fourth Sister didn’t dare to resist, so she took the blame.”
“…”
Second Sister Ren Fanxing had forgotten this matter.
If Eldest Sister hadn’t mentioned it, this distant memory could be traced back to elementary school.
Eldest Sister stepped forward, picked up the towel from Second Sister’s hand, wiped the sweat from her face, her voice soft, light, and low.
“You like Fifth Brother, right?”
“…”
Ren Fanxing retorted: “That’s Third Sister you’re talking about.”
Eldest Sister shook her head and smiled: “You’re different; Third Sister, as an older sister, spoils Fifth Brother; you could even say she indulges him. Third Sister has always wanted a younger brother; when she was out playing before, when she saw a family of four, with an older sister taking a younger brother to run wild, her envy overflowed.”
“And you…”
Eldest Sister shook her head: “Different!”
“If I had any doubts before, then these past few days, with Fifth Brother not home, you’ve been absent-minded; every day when you come back, you either sit on the sofa watching TV and drinking tea, or you come here to box.”
“When did you start liking tea?”
“When you’re in a good mood, shouldn’t you be drinking?”
“Your habits have changed; even Third Sister feels that something is wrong with you, but she doesn’t dare to ask; she thought it was because of work.”
“If there was something wrong at work, you wouldn’t be so punctual in getting off and on work every day.”
It’s that obvious?
Second Sister was speechless.
When Young Master Cao told her that her acting was poor, she was still unconvinced.
