Chapter 337: Competitive Products Emerge

Relax in the small castle of Cheval Blanc.

I am used to living in a big house, covering an area of only more than 200 square meters, the castle is not very small in the eyes of Han Chudong, but the garden is more exquisite, and the surrounding environment is also very livable, which is more suitable for vacation.

In June, when the old vines have set fruit and the winery has a new owner, the farmers are working in the fields as usual to prune the excess grapes so as not to waste nutrients.

The grapes for winemaking do not ripen until August or September, but they are usually harvested until the grapes have shriveled and there is a lot of sugar left.

Han Chudong took the time to taste the new wine made last year, and among the old oak barrels, smelling the rich aroma of the wine in the air of the wine cellar, it really felt very different when he drank the wine.

In his spare time, he took a lot of time to revise his autobiography before, not so much revising, but adding and subtracting, just like completely changing the content, just writing about what happened to him, what he saw and heard, and his feelings, so the creation speed was relatively fast, and Los Angeles was already helping him contact publishers, and a publishing house was willing to advance $2 million in advance.

After all, it is Han Chudong's first autobiography, and considering the attention people pay to him, the publishing house thinks it is worth the gamble.

In this way, the phrase that it is easier to succeed after success is also reasonable, Han Chudong just writes casually, and the level of remuneration has surpassed a group of Nobel Prize winners in literature.

Speaking of new products.

While Han Chudong came to Cheval White Horse for a vacation and stopped by to meet with another shareholder at Romanée Conti Winery, Procter & Gamble released a new mask, which was quickly launched to the market, selling for only $9 to 15.

Estee Lauder uses a similar patented technology to launch the same type of products, starting at $18 for a box, and selling for the most expensive one for more than $29, with a slightly higher positioning, and also introducing lemon, hyaluronic acid, collagen and other types.

Cry wolf.

It's not the most critical thing for them to launch, but the most critical thing is to open the door for other skincare companies to follow suit, and also follow suit, bypassing Rainbow Beauty's mask paper patents, to develop similar gel products.

The product starts out as a box of paste, which takes about 15 minutes to set after being applied to the consumer's face, and then can be ripped off the face in one piece.

It is similar to the hard mask of previous years, but it has been changed from plaster to a gel made of special material, and the Mason laboratory has completed sampling and analysis, and it is estimated that it will not be long before a similar product can be developed.

Doing business and encountering competition is the norm, but some time ago, I used the mask paper appearance patent to monopolize the market and make money comfortably, so when my own profits were likely to decline, Han Chudong was a little unhappy.

On the bright side, just be able to use the market size is large enough, should not have too much impact on the company's performance to comfort themselves, fortunately, since the advent of the mask paper, has cultivated some consumer groups, with the gel mask on the market, the impact will definitely have, but will not let the product line continue to enrich the rainbow mask muscles and bones.

There was no way to do it, so Han Chudong stayed in the winery and didn't go back for the time being.

The idea of acquiring Château Margaux was blocked by Château Mouton, which came out halfway, so Han Chudong set his sights on beer and whisky again, and while contacting the famous whisky manufacturer Macallan, he was also trying to buy excellent beer brewing recipes, and it was likely that he would go further and further on the road of selling alcohol, who made this thing very profitable.

The mask paper patent lost its dominance, and Han Chudong was no longer in a hurry after a few hours of entanglement.

Not to mention the developing IC and IT industries for the time being, the huge market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean that has not yet opened up is enough for Han Chudong to earn money in the future and treat it as waste paper.

Calculating the time, it has been a few years since the relaxed environment, there is money in hand, and there are ready-made investment projects, and there are too many opportunities to make money.

So I didn't care at all, I continued to enjoy life quietly, writing my autobiography while also taking time to learn from the old farmers, go down to the field to take care of a small grape field, thinking that when the time comes, I can make wine and take it to my friends.

Even in France, we are still in contact with the company.

In the near future, it plans to open and fund several public welfare institutions, saying that they are doing charity, but mainly to deal with Washington, spend money to dredge up some relationships, and set up several independent institutions to influence academia and think tanks, and start recruiting employees from the notorious "K Street".

The reason for doing this is mainly because Han Chudong wants to enhance his strength, rather than being treated as fat in a bowl by others, clamping it if he wants, biting if he wants, it is better to infiltrate it as soon as possible and form his own power.

From the current point of view, he still seems to be an outsider, thinking that those big people and organizations will value him, but in fact, few people come to take the initiative to communicate with him, which is a more dangerous signal.

As a super-rich man, he was deliberately forgotten by the focus of power, which made him feel that he should be more proactive and go to Washington more often.

......

The autobiography is being revised this morning.

Kiko Mochizuki, who has been with him here to relax, said: "GUCCI will hold a new show the day after tomorrow, and the location will be in the second arrondissement of Paris.

"I, I can send you to Paris, and then go straight back to the United States, this time it has been ten days or so, Arthur urged me to go back as early as three days ago, many business problems are waiting for me to deal with, just show me the live video when the time comes. ”

After Han Chudong finished speaking, Mochizuki Kiko smiled evilly: "YSL will release the fashion of the winter and autumn seasons, and there will be beautiful top female models backstage, so you really don't plan to go with me?"

"You said I was with you, so what am I going to do? ”

It's rare for Mochizuki Kiko to joke with Han Chudong, but she didn't expect to be bullied by Han Chudong at the beginning, and it was difficult to laugh again.

I didn't really care too much, about Han Chudong's private life had long been in the newspapers, she had heard about it more or less, but out of an ostrich mentality, she never wanted to mention it, at least when she got along with each other, she liked the atmosphere between the two.

I feel that it is already good now, and I think that I can't catch the richest man who is younger than myself, and I am already very content.
