575 Bloodletting one by one
Hearing this news, everyone present couldn't sit still.
It was now ten o'clock in the morning, and they had to rush to Bincheng before three o'clock in the afternoon to participate in this auction.
If they don't get this small molecule of collagen today, they may not be able to survive this year.
This auction can be said to be an auction that will affect the pattern of the cosmetics industry in the future, and the companies that can get the small molecule collagen will survive in the market, and if they can't get it, the outcome is destined to be tragic.
Cente looked at Guy, he didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he couldn't help but ask him.
"Guy, have you already sent someone?"
"No, I'm in contact to book a ticket, I'm going to rush over in person, and it should be in time. ”
"Aren't you afraid that something will happen on the way and cause you to miss this auction?"
"That's nothing to be afraid of, it's a big deal to sell it from someone else, anyway, we're not short of money!"
Cente rolled his eyes, it is true that for L'Oreal, which has deep pockets, for such a large enterprise with a net profit of seven or eight billion euros a year, they are indeed not bad for money.
Even if the small molecule collagen is expensive, they can afford it.
The ninth laboratory, which can be regarded as okay, takes out 300 kilograms at a time and divides them into ten portions, each serving 30 kilograms, which is enough for these large companies.
Thirty kilograms, for these cosmetics companies with an annual output of tons, is just a drop in the bucket, take it back and dilute it, add it to their products, the content of each bottle is estimated to be calculated by grams, and it is difficult to say whether it has any effect.
But for them, none of this matters, the cosmetics industry is an industry that collects IQ taxes.
The specific effect depends on flickering, all kinds of business copywriting routines are endless, as long as my product does contain this small molecule collagen, then it's good to flicker, as for the effect, hehe...
Now that Guy said this method, Sente is suddenly not in a hurry, although Gilleiman is not as rich as L'Oreal, but they are also not bad for money, they specialize in high-end brands.
In the cosmetics industry, Gileman belongs to the high-end of the high-end, although the scale is not large, but the profit is definitely the highest.
So he's not bad for money either, and if he can't make it to the auction, he'll buy some from someone else.
When this happened, the meeting with these suppliers naturally went to ruin, but fortunately one of the big suppliers provided them with a private jet.
Big names like Guy and Sente are naturally the first foreign users of this private jet, and as for the bigwigs of other small cosmetics companies, I'm sorry, I can only obediently buy tickets and take ordinary airlines' planes.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Guy and Sente arrived in Ben City, and naturally the car had already been arranged here, and the group got into the car and went straight to the Pannevela Peninsula Hotel, where the auction was to be held.
Along the way, everyone was in no mood to talk, and even had no temperament to eat, and Sente's assistant took a tablet and kept refreshing the official website of the ninth laboratory to see if there would be any changes in their auction for a few days.
This assistant was assigned by the headquarters in China, and was fluent in Chinese and French and was the translator of Sente during his stay in China.
Suddenly, the assistant reached out and took a handful of glasses on his face: "Boss, their terms have been rolled out." ”
"Oh, what are the conditions for participating in the auction? Read it to me?"
Cente glanced at the computer screen, it was all square words, he didn't know it, so he had to ask the assistant to translate it to him.
"First of all, the company participating in the auction must deposit 30 million US dollars into the Citibank XXX account as a deposit. ”
Sente was not angry when he heard this, but he was very happy, what kind of margin, in fact, set a threshold.
Only powerful people can participate in this auction, and as for the cats and dogs who don't have strength, then forget it!
This condition is a good thing, some small companies that get the news early are useless if they go early, and this alone will kill them.
30 million US dollars, not something that any company can take!
But in the latter words, the assistant was slurring and not reading so neatly.
"What's the problem?"
Sente couldn't help but ask.
"Uh... Forehead... The Ninth Lab said that the $30 million would not be refunded if the companies participating in the auction were successful in bidding. It will be used as a long-term security deposit to ensure that the company will not take this batch of small molecule collagen to be transferred, speculated, or used for other purposes at a high price... ”
"What?"
Hearing this condition, Cente jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and hit the carport with the top of his head.
This condition is too much, is this special, it is clearly a clear robbery?
Before it was sold, you paid $30 million, and once you buy it, people won't refund it, which is not equivalent to a starting price of $30 million, and then you have to increase the price, and the last price is higher?
Cente has participated in countless transactions in his life, but he has never seen such harsh conditions?
But when I think about the consequences of not being able to get this small molecule collagen, and the benefits that this small molecule collagen can bring to the company, it seems that this breath has to be endured if you can't bear it.
In such a fiercely competitive industry, if there are some good things, the company will definitely not be able to do it.
"Then when did they say that the 30 million will be returned? Or if there is an auction next year, do you have to pay it again?"
Cente suppressed his anger and asked the assistant.
The assistant obviously also felt the anger on him, and at this time he was also trembling, carefully reading the terms of participation in the auction announced by the Ninth Laboratory several times.
In the end, he cautiously said to Sente: "I'm sorry Boss, they didn't say when the 30 million dollars would be returned." If an auction is held next year, they didn't say whether they would re-hand it in. They just said that the final interpretation right belongs to them. ”
"Bastard!
Cente threw the champagne glass out of his hand, slammed it into the back of the sofa in front of him, and then fell to the floor of the car, shattering.
The Mercedes-Benz business car was filled with the smell of champagne, but neither the driver in front nor the interpreter sitting next to Sente dared to say a word at this time.
The big boss is going crazy, and at this time, smart people naturally won't take the initiative to find it.
Cente felt that his cerebral blood vessels were about to burst, he had been in business for decades, but he had never seen such a brazen person, uh... No, brazen company.
Previously, when he saw the terms formulated by Jeff from the United States for the Ninth Laboratory, he felt that the people of the United States were really shameless.
But now it seems that these Chinese people are not far behind!
This overlord clause is listed, which is enough to make people stunned!
This first one alone can already make a lot of people angry, right?
But so what? Can you not buy it?
If you don't buy it, if you don't participate, then the result will be a death! If you don't buy it, there must be other licking dogs to buy it, once those licking dogs get small molecule collagen, how those guys will hype, Sente can think of it with his ass.
At that time, the companies that will lose market share will definitely be the ones that have not obtained small molecule collagen.
So at this time, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he can only endure it.
Sticking out the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, anyway, no matter how you look at it, this knife can't be dodged.
Think about the ultimatum that they had formed with the cosmetics companies that they had formed before, and intended to give to Lab Nine.
This retribution came so quickly!
Thinking about it like this, Sente suddenly became less angry.
A group of forest animals formed an alliance to sanction the king of the forest, tigers don't eat people, do you really think people are sick cats?
And to make such a big move, it is obvious that everyone in the Ninth Laboratory knows about it.
They didn't know that they used such a means to KO Estee Lauder, who took the lead, and then the alliance was self-defeating.
Thinking about their previous terms against Lab Nine, do you think they're going to retaliate?
Thinking about it this way, then this seemingly hateful overlord clause is easy to understand.
Now that the king of the forest has reacted, he pressed all the animals involved to the ground and rubbed them, and then bled one by one, and everyone had nothing to say.
Thinking about Guy who was calm before, Cente suddenly understood why the old guy was so calm.
Presumably such a scene, he must have thought of it a long time ago.
As soon as he thought of this, Sente stopped being angry, and his emotions quickly calmed down, and he turned his head to look at the assistant who didn't dare to make a sound.
"I'm sorry, Cindy, I just lost my temper, okay, you can read the terms and see what else they've arranged. ”
Cindy, the female assistant, confirmed that the boss had calmed down her anger, and then cautiously continued to read.
"Each package will start at $30 million, with a minimum price of $100,000 each time, with no cap... ”
Thirty kilograms starts at $30 million, and each kilogram is $1 million, which translates to $1,000 per gram.
What diamonds, gold, in front of this small molecule collagen is not enough to look at at all!
However, Cente calculated carefully, and it didn't seem to be a loss. For example, some of the 150 milliliters of creams they launched on cosmetics are calculated based on how many micrograms of precious materials they contain.
When a gram of this small molecule collagen arrives in their hands, they can at least mix a few bottles of that kind of cream, and a bottle of cream, they can sell it for hundreds or thousands of dollars.
So the deal doesn't look like a loss!
