Chapter 1163: Skincare Business

Pierre is not as free as Xiao Ping, the hand-off shopkeeper, and has the leisure to participate in some new wine tastings. As the manager of the French company, Pierre was busy supplying almost all of Europe with all kinds of Holy Pot products. So even if Xiao Ping, as the boss, wanted to discuss things with Pierre, he had to go to the company's headquarters outside Paris to find him.

Over time, French companies have grown in size. Pierre has already leased two floors to house his new staff and is planning to rent another floor in the near future to prepare for more business.

Fortunately, the receptionist at the front desk of the company is still an old employee recruited when it first opened, and the two front desk ladies know Xiao Ping, so he didn't encounter any trouble and entered the company smoothly.

As Pierre said, everyone in the company was working at full capacity, and Xiao Ping could see at a glance that everyone was busy working, and no one even noticed that the big boss of the company was coming.

As the owner of the company, Xiao Ping was of course very satisfied with the situation in front of him, he smiled and nodded, and went straight to Pierre's office.

Pierre's secretary was answering the phone behind the desk, and when he saw Xiao Ping, he quickly stood up to greet him, and then said softly: "Mr. Pierre is meeting with a client, Mr. Xiao, you ......"

Xiao Ping waved his hand indifferently to Pierre's secretary and said, "It's okay, I'll just wait here for a while." ”

The secretary nodded and continued to talk to the other party on the phone. After the phone call, she made Xiao Ping a cup of coffee, and then said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, many liquor dealers have come here recently." Considering that wine will be the next growth point for the company, Mr. Pierre insists on keeping in touch with each potential customer. This time is particularly busy. ”

Unlike many private bosses in China, who prefer to hire young and beautiful female secretaries, foreign executives prefer to be older. But the secretary with more work ability has no requirements for appearance or anything.

For example, Pierre's secretary is already in his forties, and his appearance is very ordinary, but he is very capable in doing things.

Xiao Ping understood the secretary's words, smiled and nodded: "Yes, the wine of the Holy Pot Winery will be sold through the French branch of Guò, so I have to work hard for you." ”

The secretary smiled and nodded, said hello to Xiao Ping, and went back to work. As Pierre's secretary, her job was not easy. I don't have much time to chat with Xiao Ping.

Not long after Xiao Ping was over, Pierre sent a dealer out. Seeing that Xiao Ping was already waiting outside, he hurriedly invited him into his office.

"You're amazing. As soon as he entered the office, Pierre smiled and said to Xiao Ping: "I heard that you made a big splash at the tasting, not only won this year's championship, but also squeezed Simon Lafite to the point where there is no way out." The manager of the dignified Château Lafite even did a public robbery!"

Xiao Ping shrugged indifferently and said, "You can't blame me for this. Our winery makes such good wine, do we have to pour it all into the river for the sake of the face of Château Paulafite? Also, that Simon Lafite is too stingy. Isn't it just that he lost 500,000 euros in a bet, and as for grabbing a cheque in public?

Seeing that Xiao Ping looked like he was standing and talking without backache, Pierre couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. However, he quickly got up again, approached Xiao Ping and whispered, "You know what." Simon Raffi has been criminally detained by the police. ”

Xiao Ping said: "Of course I know, I watched him being taken away by the police!"

"But there is one more charge against the police, in addition to the suspected robbery," Pierre said. And financial scams!"

This news made Xiao Ping feel a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Why is this happening?"

"The problem is in the check he made a bet on!" Pierre was also well-informed. He whispered to Xiao Ping: "It was a blank check, and he only had less than 200,000 deposits in his private account." The Wine Guild took the check and cashed it. It was returned by the bank, and they immediately called the police. ”

Listening to Pierre say this, Xiao Ping finally understood why Simon Raffi was desperately trying to get that check back, preferring to write another one, he must have known that the check could not be sent to the bank. Presumably, Simon Raffi must have felt that he couldn't possibly lose, which is why he was so bold to write a blank check.

Pierre continued: "At the moment Simon Lafite has been released on bail of 800,000 euros, but it is rumored that his position as manager of the winery will definitely not be kept, and the Lafite family is looking for a new manager. ”

Xiao Ping is not surprised by this, after this incident, Simon Raffi can be described as discredited. For the sake of the winery's reputation, he will certainly be relieved of his current position by the family.

However, Xiao Ping didn't care about the ending of this guy, he just said indifferently: "He can only blame himself for deserving it, don't bet with me if you don't have so much money, why bother to slap your swollen face and become fat? Let's not talk about this unlucky guy, I came to you for business!"

Pierre asked with interest: "What's the matter?

"That's right. Xiao Ping nodded with a smile and said, "I decided to launch a skin care product and sell it in the European market first." Both production and sales are handled by French companies. ”

Xiao Ping also decided to build a skin care factory in France after careful consideration. Although he had never set foot in the skincare industry before, he did some research. Knowing that a certain brand is said to be produced in France, it immediately gives people a feeling of being high, and if it is domestic, the grade is much lower.

Under this cruel fact, although the cost of building a factory in France is much higher than that in China, Xiao Ping still decided to build a factory in France for the sake of product image.

However, Xiao Ping's words were lighthearted, but Pierre was taken aback. He almost couldn't believe his ears, and said to Xiao Ping with wide eyes: "God, I didn't hear it wrong, you actually want to do a skin care business?"

"Yes!" Xiao Ping smiled: "I know a plant-based formula that has absolutely amazing effects on skin care, and it will definitely be popular all over the world!"

Xiao Ping's so-called plant-based skin care product formula is actually the formula of health oral liquid. However, it has been proven that the health oral liquid does have the effect of making the skin delicate and smooth. And if you use health oral liquid as a skin care product, the effect is better when applied directly to the skin. Xiao Ping has already let Jessica do experiments, which is why he is so confident in the upcoming skincare products.

Pierre didn't doubt that Xiao Ping had such a formula, he was worried about another problem: "But we are a company that sells all kinds of ingredients and alcohol, and the sudden launch of a skin care product will make consumers in both markets begin to doubt our professionalism, and it is likely to have a bad impact on both markets!"

In fact, Xiao Ping had already considered the question raised by Pierre. Although he also knows that when he first launches skincare products, there will definitely be a lot of doubts. However, Xiao Ping has great confidence in the quality of the product, and believes that as long as the high quality of the product is maintained, it will definitely be sought after by consumers.

Thinking of this, Xiao Pingyan said to Pierre: "Pierre, I am very optimistic about the prospects of skin care products, so this project must be launched." I will order two production lines for the extraction of essential oils from Germany, and at the same time ship the raw materials from China on time, and the production and bottling will be carried out at the factory in France. The final product is also sold by the French company, and the income is of course counted in the French company's account. ”

In the end, Xiao Ping is the boss, and since he has decided, Pierre can't say much. And Xiao Ping has made it very clear that the sales revenue of skin care products is counted in the accounts of French companies. If this skin care product is really as good as Xiao Ping said, and the performance of the French company can be greatly improved, Pierre will have no reason to object.

However, Pierre is also a manager who thinks about the company, and seeing that he can't change Xiao Ping's decision, he quickly put forward another suggestion: "Xiao Ping, I have no opinion on you making skin care products, but it is best not to use the trademark 'Holy Pot', so that if something goes wrong with skin care products, consumers will not associate other problems, and the company's other businesses will not suffer." ”

Pierre's construction is also a common practice for many large companies. A company or group has multiple brands, each targeting different consumer markets. Even if there is a problem with a certain brand, it will not be impressed with all the business of the company.

Xiao Ping felt that Pierre's construction was really good, and after thinking about it, he nodded and responded: "Just do as you say, but what name should we give to the cosmetics?"

Pierre muttered: "In fact, many famous cosmetics brands use the founder's people as their brand, why don't you try it too?"

"Xiao Ping brand skin care products?" Xiao Ping, who silently read this brand, only felt a chill, and quickly shook his head and said, "This is absolutely not good." ”

Pierre also felt that it was really inappropriate to use Xiao Ping's name to name skin care products, and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, it's best to use the name of a celebrity, if it's the kind of beauty that turns everyone upside down, it's no longer okay." ”

Hearing Pierre say this, Xiao Ping immediately smiled and said: "I have thought of whose name to use! Not only can you use her name to name skin care products, but you can also ask her to be the image spokesperson, which is guaranteed to impress everyone!"

Xiao Ping's words also made Pierre interested, and he asked very curiously: "Who is this person you are talking about? A star with such a big charm, I'm afraid people are not willing to endorse a new product, let alone use her name!"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it!" Xiao Ping smiled smugly at Pierre: "This person is Hu Mei!" (To be continued......)
