571 Go to war

If this is the case, then it must be taken seriously, after all, the United States Estee Lauder, and France's L'Oreal, these large factories can be said to occupy almost half of the world's cosmetics industry.

According to last year's market share report for the cosmetics industry, L'Oréal is currently the largest manufacturer, accounting for more than 30% of the entire cosmetics industry.

Last year, L'Oréal's net profit was more than 10 billion euros, and China contributed more than one-third of it.

Estee Lauder is not far behind, accounting for 28% of the global market, because it occupies North America, where consumption power is strongest, so their net profit is not lower than L'Oreal, or even higher than L'Oreal.

Similarly, Chinese consumers also contribute more than a third of their net profits.

As for the remaining 40% market share, it is owned by other European manufacturers, as well as Japanese and Korean manufacturers.

However, every year, they also make a lot of profits from Huaguo.

As the world's largest consumer of cosmetics, Huaguo did not have a stand-up and large-scale independent brand, until the emergence of the ninth laboratory.

And now because of the monopoly in the field of small molecule collagen, the Ninth Laboratory has naturally become a thorn in the side of those large foreign manufacturers.

This time the French and the Chinese came together, Xiao Feng was not surprised at all.

And at the same time, in Paris, France, Guy. Agung was sitting behind his desk with a gloomy face, looking at the report in his hand, and on the chair in front of his desk sat a tall, thin man who was nervous.

The man was gray-haired and pale, and he kept using his hands to support his gold-rimmed glasses, and although the room was not warm, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"Julian, that's not what you told me. ”

After a brief look at the report, Guy slammed the report in his hand to the executive table in front of him, and Julian, the tall and thin man sitting across from him, felt like he had been kicked in the ass, and his body slammed into the ground.

"Guy, I didn't expect it to be so difficult? Recently, we have tried all kinds of methods, and even many people eat and live in the laboratory, but we have not found a way to make this small molecule collagen, but when we were researching the products of the ninth laboratory, we also found a secret that they did not disclose... ”

The tall and thin man was trying to defend himself, but Guy. Agung's face became more and more gloomy.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear that. In the laboratory in Paris, I have assigned you more than 100 experts in the cosmetics industry in France, and more than 1,000 peripheral scientific researchers, and you know how much it costs to eat and chew every day? But more than a month has passed, and you have not even come up with the most basic feasible plan, what are you eating?"

Guy said as he angrily slammed the table in front of him.

After negotiating with Xiao Feng last time, he joined forces with Dior, Avène, Gileman and other company bosses to set up a scientific research fund to tackle the research and development of this small molecule collagen.

Although they knew that this work would be difficult, they didn't think that it would be almost two months, and these scientists didn't even have a decent idea.

The second alliance meeting is going to be held in his manor today, and the heads of Dior, Avène, and Gilleiman are already waiting for him in the downstairs living room, and this time there is an additional representative of Estee Lauder.

Do you just want to go out with this result? Do you really want to gang up with the Estee Lauder people and use that trick? What if you do that, and really offend the Ninth Lab?

Guy. Agung was an old fox in the business world, and he didn't want to really turn against Lab 9 until he was completely sure, because that would cut off their only way to obtain small molecule collagen.

And he always felt that the people of the United States could not be trusted!

"Guy, you know, a lot of scientific research doesn't happen overnight. I'm not afraid to be honest with this kind of small molecule collagen, but if you really want to get results, it may take ten or even twenty years of uninterrupted research to get results. And the final cost is just as staggering, maybe even more than 10 billion euros!"

Julian, as the chief director of the Paris laboratory, finally mustered up the courage at this time and said to Guy.

Guy didn't say anything, he knew that Julian was right, he looked at his watch, and reluctantly picked up the report, got up and walked out of the room.

When he came downstairs to the parlor, it was white and the air was filled with the mellow smell of cigars, and he would have been intoxicated if he had been in the past, but now he had lost that leisure and elegance.

Frank, the head of Dior, the head of Gilleiman, Cent, the head of the Avène, Álvaro, and the owners of some other cosmetics companies, all focused their eyes on him when they saw him walk in.

Guy didn't hide it, he raised the report in his hand, and then said to all the bigwigs present with a wry smile on his face.

"Gentlemen, I think many of you know what is in this report. Next, it's time to discuss countermeasures. ”

All the bigwigs present had gloomy faces, and Frank glanced at Guy: "Is there really no other way?"

Guy shook his head: "The scientists in the Paris laboratory have tried their best, and the reverse development has been carried out hundreds of times, but it has not been successful. No less than 300 experiments have been conducted to find alternatives, but none of them have succeeded. The experiments of positive research were also done no less than 300 times, but they all died. So, gentlemen, we have to face the fact that this small molecule of collagen is indeed the exclusive work of Lab 9 at the moment, and we can't overcome it. ”

"Aren't these guys applying for patent protection? Not in the United States?"

Gilreman's head, Sente, turned his head to look at a man in the corner of the banquet hall, this man was about thirty years old, with tall black hair, and it was Jeff, the spokesperson sent by Estee Lauder. Stern.

This Jeff listened to Sente's question, and could only smile bitterly and shook his head: "Gentlemen, before I came, I specially asked people to check the patent library over there in the United States, and those Chinese people did not apply for patents for this kind of product." ”

"It seems that they are very confident in their own technology! What is this Ninth Laboratory for, why have they heard of it before, and suddenly it popped out?"

Álvaro said with a sad face, and his words also represented the voices of many of the bigwigs present.

"Hi, this month, our products, market share has dropped in a large area, and net profit has fallen by 30% year-on-year. ”

"My family is not much better, and the net profit has dropped by more than 20 percent. ”

"We have carried out many price reduction promotions, but the feedback has not been good. ”

"We can't let them continue like this, we have to find a way. ”

There was chaos in the living room, and the bosses of the other small cosmetics companies felt that they were going to collapse, and if they continued like this, they would be killed by the Ninth Laboratory sooner or later.

"Didn't the Ninth Laboratory already promise to take out some small molecule collagen liquid and supply it to us?"

"You believe what those bastards say, it's been two months, and there's no movement from their side!"

"That is, even if they are willing to supply us, how much can they supply?"

The bigwigs present, you say everything you say, obviously everyone has their own plans, and they obviously have a distrustful attitude towards the Ninth Laboratory.

And at this time, Estee Lauder's representative, Jeff, finally stood up again, and he came to Guy with a smile.

"Mr. Argon, as you can see, everyone is distrustful of Lab Ninth right now. So I don't think there's any need for us to wait any longer. We must unite to put pressure on Lab Nine! Let them come up with an answer that satisfies us!"

And Agung glanced at the living room again, and finally could only nod helplessly, since this is the case, let's go to war!

Xiao Feng looked at the mobile phone in his hand, and the content played on the mobile phone was the previous Guy. Agung, the bigwigs of the cosmetics industry, held the content of the alliance meeting in the living room of his house.

At this time, Pierre was holding red wine, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of Xiao Feng's office, looking at the beautiful scenery outside, as for how Xiao Feng would deal with it, he was not worried at all.

He mentioned Xiao Feng a few days ago, if Xiao Feng wasn't stupid, I'm afraid he would have already stockpiled a sufficient supply.

This will be a long-term confrontation, all about strength and see who can't stand it first.

If Xiao Feng only had the industry of the Ninth Laboratory in his hands, then he was really not optimistic about Xiao Feng, but he knew that Xiao Feng had another celebrity chef in his hands!

This fast-food restaurant will provide Xiao Feng with a steady stream of arms, and at that time, with this money alone, he will be able to cross that cosmetics alliance.

Hehe, what L'Oreal, Dior, Avène, Estee Lauder, once the time comes when they fall, he Pierre doesn't mind rushing up and biting them hard.

This is a market with tens of billions of dollars every year, and once this market is reshuffled and someone falls, there will be new people coming up.

And he certainly doesn't mind, playing the role of that replacement!

"So, where do you think they're going to go?"

Xiao Feng put down his phone, looked up at Pierre, and then asked.

This video was secretly filmed by Laura's cheap daddy, when he attended that meeting.

Now that his daughter has taken the road of the Ninth Laboratory, he naturally will not serve that alliance wholeheartedly, so he has become an ambush soldier that Xiao Feng and they have planted in the alliance.
