Chapter 419: Prelude to Reunification
Tony travels to Tuvalu to talk about the X-Beauty Elixir. Many people all over the United States, and even around the world, are watching him.
In fact, after the U.S. opened up the ban to prepare for a small-scale pilot, there were already many international companies traveling to Tuvalu in the period before Tony went to Tuvalu.
A number of major companies, including Unilever and Procter & Gamble, sent representatives to Tuvalu. They all want to get the agency rights of X Beauty Elixir. Obviously, this product will really change the way people think about beauty in the future. For businessmen, it doesn't matter if mutants don't breed. As long as there is an interest, they will sell the rope that hangs themselves. This is the profit-seeking nature of capital.
Katie was not at all surprised by the visit of major companies such as Unilever and Procter & Gamble. It's strange that no one wants to compete with this kind of product. For example, China has set up a state-owned company to act as an agent in China, rather than choosing a private company to act as an agent for the management of X-Pharmaceutical.
And X Beauty Pharmacy only gave the state-owned enterprise the right to distribute in China. While the company wants Katie to give them all the global agency, well, the global probably won't. But at least give them the agency on the Asian side.
But the negotiations have been stuck, and Katie has been dissatisfied with the Chinese offer. Because it is a newly established state-owned enterprise, and it is making such beautiful products with strong commercial colors, it is impossible for the state to give unlimited funds. It can only be said that it is inclined in policy.
And this kind of policy tilt is not useful on a global scale, that is, it is easier to use at home. So the offer of this enterprise is really not enough.
And Unilever, Procter & Gamble and other beauty companies have been suppressed too hard by Sugon Technology. So their thirst for this drug is much higher than that of Chinese companies. In order to get the agency, they are all crazy about the price increase.
But Katie, as the chairman of the group, never nodded or shook her head, just dragged delegates from all over the world. Takashi Mitsui, a representative from Toyo Shiseido, couldn't sit still.
He came to speak on behalf of Shiseido about the agency of X Beauty Pharmacy (not to eat fat), and their company hopes to obtain at least ten East Asian countries. But Katie has been hanging on to him, although Tuvalu has given him good food and drink, but he just doesn't say how to do it.
This made Mitsui Takashi very anxious, and the boss of the headquarters has been staring at the problem here, and Shuguang Technology is too strong. In particular, the Dawning Magic Water, this product has defeated Shiseido's main skincare products. It has now completely exited the high-end skincare market.
Only the low-end market can still be done, and then it is to sell some cosmetics industry that Sugon Technology has not yet set foot in. Like lipstick, lipstick, gel and stuff.
The loss of market share in the skincare segment was a heavy blow to Shiseido.
In fact, not only Shiseido, but also Unilever and Procter & Gamble, which are global hegemonic daily chemical product companies, are very uncomfortable. Many of their cosmetics and skincare brands have been hit hard.
Even the shampoo industry has been impacted, and Sugon Technology has used Sugon 101 as its flagship product to derive a series of sub-brand shampoos. Because of the success of Dawning 101, these sub-series are also bought by buyers.
The market share of major shampoo brands, including Unilever and Procter & Gamble's Head & Shoulders and Rejoice, began to shrink on a large scale. The company's earnings report is very ugly right now.
And the former CEO of Dawning Technology, a strong business woman who is also Tony's wife, Ms. Pepper Pepp, began to blow the wind at the beginning of the new year. Perhaps there will be a big move by Sugon Technology this year.
And this big move is likely to be a comprehensive price reduction for the full range of Shuguang Technology's products. Sugon Technology has now established three hyperscale processing plants around the world. It is expected to be put into production within this year, and the production capacity of the whole line of products will be on a new level.
Increasing production can reduce costs, which is the consensus of all businessmen. Now the only thing everyone cares about is what the price reduction of Sugon Technology's full line of products is.
It doesn't matter if it's just a few dollars lower, but if it's an eight-eight-fold or even seventy-five discount on the original price, then almost all other products that overlap with the attributes of the Dawning series can be delisted.
Are these businessmen not in a hurry? Takashi Mitsui came with a mission this time, because several major banks in Toyo have lowered Shiseido's financing authority. They were afraid that Shiseido would lose this business battle and end up pulling the bank into the abyss.
Unilever and Procter & Gamble are not as serious as Shiseido's problems, but they are not optimistic.
Takashi Mitsui wakes up early in the newly renovated hotel in Tuvalu, and he is not in the mood to enjoy breakfast at all in the hotel's breakfast buffet area. When Mark and Josevic, the representative of Unilever and Josevich of Procter & Gamble, appeared at the breakfast buffet, Mitsui put aside his once commercial hostile attitude.
He walked quickly in front of Mark and Xiao Hua and said, "Mark Jun, Josevich Jun." Are you really going to wait here forever? President Katie doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in meeting us, or even paying enough attention to it. Does she want to sell X Beauty Elixir anymore?"
Mitsui's anxiety made him seem a little out of his usual calmness and politeness. Mark didn't want to pay attention to him, but Josevich, who was sitting on the other side, stuck a sausage in his fork and said, "Sell it or not?" Of course it is, why would the Chinese company and Doom get the agency? Haven't we seen the factories they've built these days?"
"It was clear that this was planned a long time ago, and it was decided to go commercial from the beginning. and not used on a small scale. Josevich said as he ate a sausage.
Takashi Mitsui sat directly next to Josevich and said, "Then why has President Katie been unenthusiastic?"
Josevich gave Takashi Mitsui a blank look, ignoring the idiot's question. And Mark next to him sneered: "I still don't understand this, Mr. Mitsui." Because the world's biggest coffee hasn't arrived yet!"
Mitsui Xiao frowned: "Who?"
Mark shook his head and said in a slightly mocking tone, "Tony Stark!"
………………
Passing through the clouds, Tony's private jet has arrived over Tuvalu. The plane has already entered the landing state.
"How does my private jet compare to yours?" Tony asked the young man next to him, his attitude mild. As Tony Stark, it's hard enough to put on that attitude and speak like that to a young man.
And the reason for Tony's moderate attitude is simple, because sitting next to him is the head of the Osborne group: Harry Osborne.
"Great, but I thought you'd have some pole dancing and hot babes on the plane. Harry teased.
"Yes, I see. They were there until before I got married, and when Pepp put on the ring, he fired them all. To be honest, I miss that blonde girl a little, her name is Sophia...... emm…… Maybe it's called Sonia? Forget it, I miss them anyway. Tony showed affection that he couldn't even remember by his sister's name.
Harry could only shake his head. Tony, on the other hand, walked up to Harry and patted him on the back, "Is there a little excited?"
"A little. After all, this is a big move that we want to make in one of our joint efforts. I didn't expect you to come up with such a plan and use Jason as the messenger. Actually, I'm looking forward to this collaboration, and this covert operation is quite interesting. Harry smiled.
Tony smiled too, but thought to himself: this is not the plan I had in mind, but your good friend Jason Lee came up with it. Then he pretended to be on both sides.
Thinking about this, Tony could already see the land of Tuvalu.
Early Tony and Harry arrived in Tuvalu in one step, and Li Jie sat in Katie's presidential palace. Katie brought him a hazelnut latte.
"Thank you. Li Jie raised his glass and thanked him. Katie waved her hand: "You're welcome. It's nice to have old friends come and see me. ”
"But you're really pulling Tony Stark and Harry Osborne into this plan?" Katie was a little confused: "It looks a bit bold." ”
"No, the world is changing, I'm just changing with the world, that's all. What a great opportunity for so many beauty product merchants to come together. Li Jie walked to the window of the presidential palace with a hazelnut latte and looked at the scenery outside the window and said.
"A feast of capital, although they are all companies of daily chemical products and beauty products. But when these capitalists stand together, you can still feel the power they exude. One is the most primitive and bloodiest force from capital. Li Jie said as he drank a latte.
"The game has been played, and the pieces are starting to be in place. It's not chess, it's Chinese chess. Let this group of capitalists be used by me, let them follow the form of our plan. It's not enough to rely on you, you're too cute and sweet. Li Jie gave Katie a look as he said this.
Katie couldn't help but roll her eyes and make a "you're missing" gesture.
"Do you know what is the most powerful thing about these companies that make beauty products?" Li Jie suddenly asked Katie.
Katie frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.
"Propaganda, reversing black and white, exaggerating efficacy, tampering with concepts, creating their own science, etc. There is no other company in the world that can compare with the cosmetics industry in this regard. Now the chariots, horses, artillery, generals, and big-headed soldiers are all in place. We're going to let them use their abilities to conquer the city for us, and the only thing missing is a handsome. Li Jie said with a smile.
Katie stood beside Li Jie and said, "Now the handsome you want is here." "Tony Stark's plane has come into Katie's sights.
Li Jie's smile became more and more bright: "Yes, handsome is here." It's time for Shuai to rule the world!"
