The most anxious person was Ryosuke Oda, the head of Shiseido's North American branch, who had just talked to Han Chudong.

He holds a relatively high position in the company and is responsible for the important task of developing the North American market. If he does a good job, he may be able to move up to the position of director or managing director.

After learning that Rainbow Beauty was bidding for the two-and-a-half-year cooperation rights, Oda Ryosuke made a special trip back to Japan to push for a board meeting to discuss issues related to soft mask products.

He and the executives of Shiseido Co., Ltd. all agreed that Rainbow Beauty had great potential, otherwise they would not have offered such a sky-high price of US$880 million.

However, with Han Chudong's refusal, all plans were disrupted and she had to sit here and bid with other colleagues.

As a second best option, if there is no way to acquire Rainbow Beauty, Oda Ryosuke has already made preparations to get a cooperation quota. Moreover, Han Chudong just casually revealed that with only more than 40 stores, the daily turnover is as high as more than 2 million US dollars, which makes him more confident in the market for soft mask products.

At this moment, he raised his sign and shouted with full energy: "Sixty million US dollars!"

The tone of his voice is very Japanese, similar to that of Ishikawa Hayabusa. You can tell he is Japanese just by listening to his voice.

Okay.

This time, Maybelline, Christian Dior, Chanel, OLAY and other manufacturers were all eliminated, and the representatives' faces were full of helplessness.

At the beginning, the price soared from 35 million US dollars to 60 million US dollars! Close to half of Christian Dior's total valuation, they can no longer afford it.

Mr. Dawson of Procter & Gamble was just about to raise his hand. The price was beyond his expectation. However, in order to avoid direct competition with his old rival Johnson & Johnson, he had already raised his hand. However, when he saw that Daniel, the senior vice president of Johnson, lost his temper, he decisively put his hand down.

Mr. Daniel merely raised his sign, tacitly agreeing to increase the price by one million US dollars. His expression looked a little unhappy, and he also felt that the price was beyond his expectations.

Before the auctioneer Colin Farrell could speak, Ryosuke Oda couldn't wait to raise his hand and said, "Sixty-five million US dollars! We at Shiseido are determined to win!"

Han Chudong was unhappy when he heard this. He looked at this guy deeply and thought that saying such things during the auction would only ruin his own job.

Sitting in the last row, Oda Ryosuke didn't see his eyes. He was fully focused at the moment, as if he would follow suit no matter who bid.

Daniel didn't want to fall behind, so he raised the price a bit and said, "70 million US dollars, with the number of retail stores you have, can you make it back? Don't make trouble here."

Ryosuke Oda ignored it and directly added two million US dollars.

It quickly broke through 70 million and reached the 72 million US dollar mark. This was in the 1970s when US dollars were very valuable. Some people present were stunned when they heard the amount, and they couldn't imagine the weight of this money.

Really angry, Vice President Daniel raised the sign again: "Seventy-four million!"

"Seventy-five million."

"Eighty million!"

"Eighty-one million." Ryosuke Oda was sitting there, and when he heard Daniel's offer, he raised the price. After he finished saying the price, he looked at where Daniel was, as if to say, keep going.

Noticing his look, Vice President Daniel took a deep breath and thought to himself, "What a crazy Japanese guy!" Instead of going head-to-head with him, it would be better to compete with P&G.

The scene was silent.

Han Chudong was nervous and clenched his fists tightly, hoping that someone would make an offer.

In addition, there is also a depressed feeling as if he had spit out blood. Previously, he was complacent about selling the cooperation rights to the L'Oreal Group for US$40 million, but now he is not happy anymore as he has suffered a heavy loss.

Colin Farrell stared at the hopper, and when the time came, the hammer fell.

After congratulating the people from Shiseido, we immediately went to auction the second cooperation spot while the popularity was still there.

Dawson and Daniel were both reluctant to bid. The CEO of Dior raised his sign and said 40 million. People from Chanel and Maybelline also joined in the fun, raising the price by million. They knew that this price was very safe. After all, the people from Johnson & Johnson had already offered 80 million US dollars, and now it was only over 40 million US dollars... that's all.

Han Chudong was waiting for the two main stars to appear.

The arrival of Shiseido executives was beyond his expectations, and the offer was also beyond his expectations.

I took the time to look at Oda Ryosuke again. He looked nervous, probably thinking about how to explain to the board of directors.

More than 80 million US dollars have already been put into the pocket. According to the agreement, it will be credited within 15 days. The happiest person in the audience is Han Chudong, but for the sake of influence, he did not show it. He was already considering giving bonuses to some employees of the company to celebrate together.

One minute has passed.

Mr. Dawson, the calm senior vice president of Procter & Gamble Group, finally started raising his hand. His only opponent was Johnson & Johnson. As a shareholder of Estee Lauder, it was impossible for Estee Lauder to compete with Procter & Gamble.

I probably know what Johnson & Johnson's bottom line is this time, so I bid $80 million! !

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Not to mention the other people present, even Mr. Dawson's assistants were very surprised. The price actually exceeded the budget given by the company's board of directors. Before this, no one thought it would be so high. They thought it would be at most 60 million US dollars.

Dawson's secretary decisively stood up and looked for a phone, trying to contact the chairman of the group.

When his boss becomes willful, of course he has to help coordinate. He knows what he should do without Mr. Dawson saying anything, and the tacit understanding they have gained from working together for more than ten years is there.

It suddenly increased from 59 million US dollars to 80 million US dollars.

Daniel was so angry when he heard the offer. He felt that it was obviously aimed at him. After all, the previous offer was no more than 80 million US dollars.

He was just a senior professional manager. The few Johnson & Johnson shares he held were not enough. He did not bother to seek approval from the board of directors, but he also raised his sign and said, "83 million!"

He felt so regretful that he thought he should have continued fighting with the Japanese madman. He originally thought that P&G would also want to find a suitable price and there was no need to let the young Chinese man take advantage.

Perhaps because the amount was too large, Daniel had begun to become irrational. He had to consider how to explain to the board of directors, and whether he could earn back the "franchise fee" that had been wasted.

After hearing Dawson raise the price to 84 million US dollars, he decisively shouted out 90 million with the idea of ​​fighting to the death.

Not far away.

Vice President Dawson began to feel embarrassed. The price was pushed too high, to the point where it would affect the second and third quarter financial reports. At this time, his assistant hurried back and whispered something in his ear.

His eyes suddenly lit up and he decisively raised his sign to add one million US dollars.

The assistant who was told the news that the chairman would not allow any reckless behavior and that the highest offer was US$85 million was stunned on the spot.

Vice President Daniel was distracted and did not dare to follow up for various reasons. As soon as the hourglass ran out, Colin Farrell quickly struck the hammer.

Han Chudong then gave up trying to control his expression and laughed heartily.

In fifteen minutes, the total revenue was 172 million US dollars, and there was also money earned from selling facial masks. Who wouldn't be happy when encountering such a happy event...
