They are both new parents and not biological parents.
The contradiction lies in that Han Chudong's body is related to his elders by blood, but there is not a deep connection between them ideologically.
He had been troubled by this, too.
It’s just that these elders’ emotions are very sincere, and Han Chudong doesn’t want to suddenly turn against them, so he honestly pretends to be a son and a grandson.
Occasionally, when he got beaten up by Han, or when he got taught a lesson, he would just laugh it off and forget about it. He never really took it to heart, but when he thought about it in retrospect, he found it quite interesting.
It's definitely not as close as before, but he has been busy with business recently and his communication with his family is limited to daily life, so it has never been exposed.
Maybe when I make more money in the future, I will buy a nice house and move out. I don’t have such an idea at the moment. None of his family members have annoying personalities and it is quite pleasant to get along with them.
After chatting for a while, I learned that the gangsters in Chinatown are now very quiet, and some big guys are already considering cleaning up their careers and changing careers.
This is good news. After being raided twice by the police station next door, industries such as prostitution, gambling, and drugs have begun to calm down, or at least are not as rampant as before.
Han Yiqiang and others were also transferred to cooperate with the special police team and conducted a raid on the area where the Italians were stationed.
The General Administration attaches great importance to the joint law enforcement suggestions he put forward and is putting them into practice, with relatively good results.
Take a bath and go to bed.
The next day, while Han Chudong was still dreaming, the three Rainbow Beauty stores in New York were officially opened to the public.
The hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising fees were not wasted. It was known that the product caused a sensation in the Hollywood area and had excellent skin care effects. Before the opening, there were customers waiting in front of each store.
Once the first batch of potential consumers appeared, others would follow suit and line up under the influence of the herd effect, especially the flagship store on Fifth Avenue, which took out a thousand boxes and sold them all in just over sixty minutes. The remaining two stores were also quickly sold out.
Shortly after, stores in downtown Houston and Atlanta opened and also sold out within two hours.
By the time Han Chudong arrived at the company in his Ferrari Dino 246 sports car, the stores in San Francisco and Seattle had also opened. San Francisco and Los Angeles had more interactions, and the news had already spread. It was said that there were more than a hundred consumers at the door before the sale went on, and the cars were quickly sold out.
As it is still a new company, adopting limited quantity and limited sales can help enhance the brand's reputation. It is positioned at a relatively high-end level, and it will take some time to accumulate foundation, which can help long-term interests.
Let’s look at Seattle.
The sales speed was not as fast as in San Francisco, but one thousand boxes of facial mask products were sold out within two and a half hours.
A total of 10,000 boxes were sold today, with a gross profit of approximately US$350,000. It is still a long way to get a payback, but it is no longer like before with only outflows and no gains, which has made Han Chudong particularly satisfied.
After spending so much time, money and energy on this project, success is a natural result. With so much advertising money spent, even if boiled water is sold as toner, there should be a certain sales volume.
When his employees came to report the good news, Han Chudong asked Mr. Colin Farrell, who was in charge of marketing, "We didn't use the backup plan, did we? Did we pay anyone to help?"
"It's just Seattle. In the early stage, I commissioned more than ten people to help with the queue. After a certain number of people gathered, I asked them to evacuate one after another. They may continue to be used tomorrow."
"Then do you think we can continue to allow the remaining stores to operate in the next two days? The situation is so good, I think there should be no problem." Han Chudong said.
As a boss, he certainly hopes to start sales as soon as possible and make money without affecting the main plan.
Among the directly-operated stores that opened for sale today, no store fell behind and all the products were sold out, slightly exceeding the expectations of Colin Farrell himself and his marketing staff.
So Mr. Farrell nodded and said, "You can arrange for people to ship to other places. I will accurately advertise in those cities. Judging from the situation on Rodeo Drive, consumers will spread the word to each other at an astonishing rate and then come to our store to buy. If nothing goes wrong, similar scenes will appear in San Francisco, New York and other places.
Next, I will keep an eye on sales and report to you at any time, adjust the quantity of goods put on the shelves, and strive to find a balance between actual market demand and the quantity put on shelves, so as to entice other consumers to buy without making them angry. "
"Okay, we have achieved initial success. Most stores that can stimulate customers' desire to buy are successful. I hope you can remember this and create a high-profile brand image without hindering the profit. Between Patek Philippe and Omega, I prefer to be a company like Omega. Let me give you an example to make it clear."
Han Chudong took the coffee that Mochizuki Kiko had helped to make, took a sip and found that the temperature was just right, and smiled at her.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Patek Philippe's brand image is two or three levels higher than Omega, but its profit figures are far less than those of Omega and Rolex. What he wants to say is that Rainbow Beauty's brand positioning needs to be relatively high-end, but not so high that customers will be discouraged. For a company, what really matters is how much profit it makes.
After putting down the coffee cup, he continued: "After all, the acceptance capacity of most consumers is limited. The price of a box of facial mask is about 13th of the average monthly income of the American people. If you apply a facial mask once every three or four days, it can be used for a month.
Most women can accept spending so much money for their beauty, and the market base is very large. For example, the Rodeo Drive store can relax the sales restrictions a little bit. The purchase limit is still three boxes, but the daily supply can be appropriately increased to 1,800 boxes or 2,000 boxes. When the Starlight Avenue store opens and customers are diverted, the quantity can be reduced. You should be responsible for forming a small team recently to formulate different supply quantities based on the sales situation of each sales point. "
Colin Farrell was a smart man. He understood what Han Chudong meant. After thinking it over, he thought this was a better approach. He smiled and said, "I'll arrange it today. Last time I told you that the school will recruit outstanding students who are about to graduate. If you plan to do that, remember to add some more people to my department. Ten people will be enough."
"Sure. I've already discussed this with a headhunting company. They'll be in charge of this. Having connections in those universities is better than me having to find one myself."
In just one morning, sales increased by nearly US$400,000, a figure that has already surpassed Mango Toys and Baofeng Electric, and the profit margin is even more astonishing.
Han Chudong feels that selling beauty products is indeed a lucrative business and is now looking forward to what will happen next. You know, only 40% of the stores in the initial plan have been opened, and sales have not yet started in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and other places.
After they left the office, he patted his legs and asked Kiko Mochizuki to sit over.
Such a shameful thing was naturally rejected by her, and she did not tell him that she was misunderstood by her mother last night. Mochizuki Kiko told him: "It may take a few days to move out. I haven't discussed it with my mother yet. Sorry..."
