Mainland United States.

A heavy truck was covered in dust as it left California and was on its way to Texas.

Another truck was heading from Los Angeles to San Francisco, with Zhao Dajun sitting in the cockpit.

Such a truckload of goods cost him and Zhou Nan two hundred thousand US dollars, so they could not be too careful. The new toy that Han Chudong had been talking about for so long could finally be put on the market.

Last month, Zhao Dajun tried out the so-called super racing car toy, which was indeed very interesting. He was very excited at the moment and wanted to start selling it as soon as possible to make a lot of money.

He and Zhou Nan's salesmen were already prepared and were just waiting to ship the goods over.

The products purchased by other agents will also be shipped in the near future. This time we will prepare the inventory in advance and just use the car to transport the products back for sale.

The production process is mainly outsourced to boss Yang Guangnian.

In the past six months, Boss Yang has made a lot of money. He recently bought a nice house in Beverly Hills, and plans to give it to his son as a wedding present when he grows up. He also plans to upgrade his car to a Bentley.

I went to attend a friend's second wedding today.

When talking to his friends, Yang Guangnian waved his hands and said, "The little money I earn is nothing. You should look at my young employer. The richest Chinese in California is a thing of the past. Who can be as wealthy as Mr. Han now? If he continues like this, it will be a matter of time before he surpasses the richest man, Wang An. His net worth should be at least 100 million US dollars. I am just following him to get some soup."

The Chinese community in Los Angeles is very small, and some Chinese newspapers have published news related to Han Chudong, and sometimes they even make it the front-page focus.

After a while, many people knew Han Chudong's name.

Many people present couldn't believe that he could have so much money. They asked Boss Yang, "I remember he made more than 10 million US dollars by selling inventions. Is it true that selling toys can make so much money?"

"Hey, that's all old news. It's true that selling toys made money, but recently Boss Han used the money from selling patents to create a new company selling facial masks.

As far as I know, just investing in stocks alone would cost at least tens of millions of dollars. How much money do you think he could have? His father got lucky with it, and he's been walking around the General Administration with aplomb recently. Li Laowu and the cripple in Chinatown have all been busted, and now there are only a few hooligans left on the street."

Boss Yang was acting like a bully and said these things to others, feeling proud of himself.

Being worth over 100 million is a hurdle. There are not many people in Los Angeles who can reach this figure. Recently, he has been showing off his relationship with Han Chudong to everyone he meets.

More people began to know Han Chudong, and even the Wall Street Journal formally sent an interview invitation, trying to do an exclusive interview with him.

The newspaper received the news just after the three major rating agencies issued similar valuation reports, and was extremely interested in the fact that Han Chudong had joined the billionaire club at such a young age.

…

Florence, Italy.

A few hours after Euren left the message, he successfully met Han Chudong.

Han Chudong is well aware of the purpose of the senior vice president of L'Oréal Group. He does not want to cooperate with competitors in the near future. His beauty business has just started and it is necessary to maintain his advantage.

So now, he asked lazily, "Are you trying to take over my company again? I've already said it before, I don't plan to sell it."

“Even if you are willing to sell, it will be difficult for our company to buy all of them. We came here this time hoping to discuss with you whether it is possible to find other ways of cooperation,” said Vice President Euren.

The two met in the hotel restaurant.

Not planning to sit for long, Han Chudong only ordered a glass of lemon water and asked curiously, "For example?"

"For example, you can merge with us to form a stronger company, or you can give you a large sum of money and license the patent rights of facial mask paper to us."

I found it interesting to hear what Eugene said.

The L'Oréal Group is now quite powerful, and its future development potential cannot be underestimated. A merger can certainly bring certain benefits, but Han Chudong believes that he will most likely suffer a loss and does not consider it at all.

Even if there is a merger, he believes that one day in the future he will swallow up the L'Oréal Group rather than being digested and absorbed by the other party.

Han Chudong asked tentatively: "If I authorize you, how much are you willing to pay?"

"Forty million US dollars to buy the permanent right to use it until the patent expires." Euren could not hide his nervousness as he spoke.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

If you want to know how much the L'Oreal Group's board of directors values ​​this deal, just look at the numbers they discussed at the meeting. The maximum budget is 65 million US dollars! Now Eugene is making the decision on his own, hoping to take credit from the board of directors by buying at a low price.

"Last time you offered more than 40 million US dollars, but I didn't agree. Is there any difference in this offer?" Han Chudong smiled. The experience of earning tens of millions of US dollars just by nodding seemed very refreshing to him.

"Of course there is a difference. Last time we planned to acquire your company and patents as a whole, but this time we only want patent licensing."

"But in my opinion, it's about the same. You want to buy the permanent patent rights for 40 million US dollars? Sorry, my patent is not that cheap."

Seeing that Han Chudong was really not interested, Ou Ren didn't want to make a wasted trip, so he frowned slightly and asked, "How much money do you want before you agree?"

"Don't ask. You can't afford it."

Still short of money, Han Chudong considered cooperating with others. He mentioned this to Mr. Clifton Nett last time, saying that he wanted to sell facial mask paper at the price of one US dollar per piece.

He has now improved on this idea, tapping the table with his fingers and saying, "I plan to auction the cooperation rights, and the news will be released soon, but I can tell you first.

There are three places for cooperation in total, and the one with the highest bid will win. Within two years after obtaining the cooperation rights, you will be eligible to buy facial mask paper from me and go back to production. The price of facial mask paper is a bit high, temporarily set at one US dollar per piece. "

"…Your terms are simply robbery!"

"Robbery is robbery. I believe in voluntary participation in business. Why are you so eager to cooperate with me? It's because the profit is high and you can't produce.

I'm giving you the market, so I should get some benefits. Even so, you can still make a lot of money. The reason why we set the cooperation quota is to prevent the market from being divided up by too many companies and to protect the interests of our partners. Otherwise, if we just let it go and specialize in selling facial mask paper, I might make more money."

Han Chudong was in an absolute advantage. Seeing Vice President Ou Ren almost jumping up, he was not moved at all and added, "That's about it. There are three partner spots, and only the one with the highest bid will get it. I will send out invitations before the event. If L'Oreal doesn't want to, then forget it. By then, your competitors will be selling facial masks, but you won't have similar products to sell. Don't blame me for not reminding you now..."
