If he was just being a traitor, that company had recently poached a lot of people from Baofeng Electric, which easily reminded him of the old story that Joe Austin secretly took away a large number of key personnel before he left. He thought that the other party had a problem with his character, so he was too lazy to play the game of dividing the market equally.
If you want to compete for the market, just rely on your strength.
Han Chudong is not afraid of competition at all. If he didn't have any rivals, he would find life as it was too easy to make money boring.
To be precise, he had already earned enough money to last him several lifetimes, and the reason he was still willing to waste time on business was because the process of making money was more interesting and gave him a sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more comfortable to just be a hands-off boss, sleep until you wake up naturally, and travel around the world?
Everyone knows the wonders of money, but managing many huge money-making machines is actually very interesting.
Assistant Arthur is undoubtedly very capable.
It was precisely because he was so qualified as an assistant and kept all aspects of affairs in order that Han Chudong was reluctant to let him go to take up a senior management position. He was even afraid that this guy would be poached by someone else one day, so he raised his salary repeatedly and even arranged a Mercedes-Benz car for him in the name of the company.
Taking the special elevator upstairs, Han Chudong had just stepped into the helicopter parked on the rooftop when he saw Arthur's assistant jogging over with a small yellow bottle in his hand, shouting, "Boss! Wait a minute, something big has happened!"
"???"
At first he looked confused, then Han Chudong asked, "What's the big deal? Will it delay my business trip to France?"
"No, you can handle it in France. I want you to see this new product launched by Estee Lauder and Procter & Gamble. It took a lot of money to get it out of the factory. It is expected to start advertising and be put on the market next week. Those two companies have been secretly researching and trying to break through our company's appearance patent. I heard the news from a former executive of Estee Lauder. This time they may really break through!"
It's a business that makes tens of millions of dollars in profit a year, and you don't have to worry too much. If facial mask paper loses its technological monopoly advantage, wouldn't that be a big deal?
Seeing that Assistant Arthur was frowning and really panicking, Han Chudong immediately had a bad idea.
Taking the small yellow round box from his hand, I could see "Lemon Gel Mask" written on the box, with the trademark name of Procter & Gamble.
After opening it and smelling it, a refreshing lemon scent hit me. Han Chudong's expression gradually became serious: "Will it dry up after applying it on my face and become like a collagen mask?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
"Guessing, any news on pricing?"
"Not yet, I'll go ask later."
"Um."
Han Chudong screwed the lid on and held it in his hand before continuing, "Ask the people at Wal-Mart. If you want to sell it on a large scale, they should have information about the purchase price. If the price is too low, we'll be in trouble. Remember to tell them that it's not as good as a facial mask, that it clogs pores, and that it's difficult to clean. Let's wait and see after it's on the market. Help me make a plan first."
We didn't receive any news in advance, but it seems that Procter & Gamble Group has long been complaining about the high prices of facial mask papers.
Even Han Chudong himself sometimes feels that he is too greedy and has too big an appetite. It is a normal and understandable situation that some companies are trying to break through the patent of facial mask paper.
Many people are researching facial mask paper. This thing is very easy to produce, but the difficulty lies in the appearance patent which is blocked by Han Chudong. Even if facial mask paper is produced using seaweed, collagen, etc., it cannot be sold on the market in countries and regions with strict patent requirements. Rainbow Beauty has made a lot of money from this.
In fact, it has been more than a year since the patent for facial mask paper appeared, and people have only now figured out a way to circumvent the patent. This was beyond Han Chudong's expectations, and he was fooled by some people.
I understand that, but when I think about the possibility of losing a lot of money, and the possibility that the valuation of Rainbow Beauty Group may shrink as the sales volume of facial mask papers declines, I still feel uncomfortable. It feels like the loss of 100 million, or even several hundred million, for a bottle of gel with unknown ingredients is not restricted by the facial mask paper appearance patent.
Sighing, he came to the airport and waited for his private plane to land. In the lounge, he took the time to ask Kiko Mochizuki for help to apply lemon-scented gel on his face. It was icy and he had to pinch his nose to admit that it was quite comfortable to use. It was completely different from the feeling of applying quicklime in the past. It was like applying aloe vera gel.
After applying, start timing and check in the mirror from time to time.
The gel on my face gradually dried up and could be completely torn off after about fifteen minutes. The remaining traces were all removed by washing my face, and my skin became hydrated.
This made Han Chudong secretly sigh that the wolf had come. He couldn't estimate the specific amount of loss for the time being, but it would definitely have an impact on his company's facial mask products. So he immediately took out the satellite phone and asked his secretary to tell Arthur to talk to the laboratory and try to develop a similar product as soon as possible to block Estee Lauder and Procter & Gamble. By the way, he should carefully check the ingredients to see if there are any substances that may be harmful to the human body.
Currently, most of Han Chudong's net worth comes from Rainbow Beauty Group. Just look at the profit of 150 million US dollars in the first half of the year, and you can see how important it is to Han Chudong.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
There's no point dwelling on what has already happened.
On the bright side, products of the sub-brand Dior Rainbow are gradually being launched on the market. The Ex-Boyfriend series of skin care products and the Rainbow series of cosmetics have gradually cultivated some consumer groups, and their popularity is growing day by day, so their ability to withstand shocks should be okay.
With more than 600 stores worldwide, it is impossible for them to collapse because of one product. Maybe this is just groundless worry.
The worries quickly dissipated with the arrival of a large plane.
The moment Han Chudong heard about its arrival, he stood up, quickened his pace, asked someone to open the door, and walked to the apron. Children like the products of Mango Toy Company, and this oversized Boeing 747 is Han Chudong's favorite big toy.
People from Boeing came, and some reporters had been waiting for a long time. They were not in a hurry to get on the plane. Instead, they took some photos of the plane and Han Chudong first.
This was the price after Boeing gave him a discount. According to the terms of the contract, Han Chudong needed to cooperate in promoting the Boeing 747. The secret agreement was that if Han Chudong could sell this aircraft to his wealthy friends, he would get a kickback of one million US dollars.
It can be seen that Boeing is really worried about the order volume. Only nine aircraft were sold in the first half of this year. Neither the investors nor Boeing can understand why Han Chudong invested in Boeing through Mason Private Equity. Now almost no one is optimistic about the 747 series, which has cost huge amounts of money but is only losing money. Boeing is also deeply affected.
Soon after, Han Chudong met with the crew. After entering, he exclaimed sincerely: "Wow..."
