148 The same is the end of the world[12]
Fucus, headquartered in Rome, has branches in Italy, France, Germany, Russia...... and so on.
It is mainly engaged in two major industries, such as lipstick and perfume.
It belongs to the kind that has a reputation but is not very famous.
This company is interesting, and that's where it is interesting.
The price of the lipstick sold is extremely expensive, several times more expensive than some big brands such as L, and not everyone knows the brand that everyone can afford, but this brand is not very famous in the upper circles - this point, after Connie asked Philomena, the three of them came to the result.
On the whole, the company Fucus is somewhat mysterious and unpopular.
According to the routine, this kind of enterprise is either shelled or affiliated with some kind of power organization.
But the frustrating thing is that this company does not have an 'online market'. That is, it only sells in physical stores - it was not a big problem originally, but after Connie searched on the website, except for mentioning the countries in which the company has branches and other general introductions, I couldn't find more detailed information at all, and there was not even an official website.
If you don't have an official website, you can't hack in.

Fortunately, the head of the Myanmar branch is still there, which gives Sherlock a good place to judge.
Early the next morning, Connie followed Sherlock out of the hotel.
Arrived at the Fucus Myanmar branch in the heart of the city.
It was a man in his early thirties, who seemed to be a senior person such as a general manager, and it was unknown what method Sherlock had used to make the other party treat them as VIPs.
Connie herself thinks that it is very expensive for him to be a little kid or a girl, and it is very expensive for him to follow Sherlock, but his aura solves everything.
The interior of the company is very luxuriously decorated, at first glance it is the kind of aristocratic luxury style, and the most exaggerated thing is that the crystal chandelier will be used in the villa with that kind of luxurious decoration.
Wouldn't it seem strange for a company to install such lights?
Connie was puzzled for a moment, and followed Sherlock, carefully surveying her surroundings.
"What is this?" The general manager finally couldn't bear to say a greeting.
"My daughter." Sherlock said with an unchanged face. His exact words were: "mygirl." β
But this gentleman apparently understood it directly as "r". Although the appearance of the two is completely different, but the demeanor looks somewhat similar, the general manager estimated for a while, it is impossible to be a woman, so he understands that he is an adopted daughter...... Or it was born to a very genetically strong Chinese wife.
"Ah...... It turns out that your Excellency's daughter likes lipstick and perfume, right? I'll take you to see our products later. The general manager immediately smiled at Connie like a flower.
Connie puffed out her mouth, looking a little tired in the face of the general manager's slightly subtle gaze, and finally stayed quietly behind Sherlock without speaking, being a quiet follower girl.
The general manager first introduced himself: Darwin Eugene.
Then he began to gush on about the background of Fucus, and Sherlock listened with a blank face, but Connie felt more and more odd.
Didn't they come to inquire about the case? How is this formation more like an investment?
Finally, Sherlock spoke.
"My wife has her own set of standards for lipstick, and when it comes to investing, we still want your products to satisfy us."
Darwin's face was happy, and he suddenly smiled: "Of course, not to mention anything else, although our company is mainly low-key connotation, but the quality of the product is still very confident. He looked confident.
"So, without further ado, I'll show you our company's products now?" He asked tentatively, and when he saw Sherlock nodding, he immediately walked in front and led the way with a respectful face.
Connie looked at Darwin's background and suddenly had the feeling that he was a white rabbit.
The kind that is so tender that even she can deceive.
The two followed Darwin to the exhibition department, which already had products on display, which was actually the place where the inventory was placed, and Darwin had the samples taken out one by one and displayed in front of Connie.
In his opinion, the daughter must have been chosen for the 'wife', after all, Sherlock, a young man, must not know this, Connie took the bag of lipstick, paused it, said thank you, and opened one casually to look at it.
The color is beautiful, the texture on the hands is also beautiful, and the taste is not to mention...... It doesn't seem to smell good.
But.
She doesn't have the ability to tell which lipstick has the ingredients on Renard's lips!
Looking up at Sherlock, Connie gave a distressed look.
#θ½ηΆεΎηΎζ§δ½ζ―δΊΊθ¦ζθ#
Give her two Dior color-changing lipsticks, and she'll have a great time.
Sherlock picked up the lipstick from Connie's hand, sniffed it lightly, and shut it up.
There were more than two dozen lipsticks in a small pile, and in the end, only two were left in the land that Sherlock had chosen, and of those two, he carefully observed for thirty seconds, and then he closed the lid and threw them into the bag: "That's all?" β
Darwin was startled at first as he watched Sherlock smell the lipstick, and finally saw that he had kept the latest two, and was amazed at his knowledge, but apparently the smell of these two was up to his standards, but the color was not to his liking.
This must be a man who is very well jumped by his wife!
Renard sighed and looked up at Sherlock, "Sir, are you dissatisfied with the smell or the color?" β
Sherlock paused: "The last two are good, but I feel that the color and texture are still a little worse, is there any better?" β
Color and texture.
Connie stared blankly at Sherlock.
Darwin stared blankly at Sherlock.
All the members of the product department looked at Sherlock with a bewildered expression.
I've never seen a man who has studied lipstick so carefully, and he's a handsome man in his early twenties.
Some female staff, two small red flowers have appeared in their eyes, eager to stick to Sherlock, Connie looked at Sherlock speechlessly, and said, "Uncle doesn't have an updated lipstick?" Although those lipsticks are good, but my mother's requirements for texture are still very high, and it will be her birthday in less than a month, and my father and I want to set a place where we can buy lipstick permanently, otherwise we will have to run around every season, but we are tired. Her Cuban little face, baby fat with innocent little eyes, and a bit of coquettishness, in an instant, not to mention those female professions, even Darwin's heart melted.
At the same time, a hint of envy for that woman flashed in everyone's hearts.
Just to find the right lipstick, my husband and daughter are running around, so it must be a woman like a disaster, right??
Connie snickered, and a pair of large hands suddenly covered the back of her neck, and she immediately restrained her smile and rubbed towards Sherlock flatteringly.
Darwin said: "These are all previous products, of course, our R&D department has recently developed a new lipstick, which will be put into use next week, why don't you go and have a look?" β
"Really? That's great! Connie exclaimed in surprise and followed Darwin with a happy face, her right hand signing Sherlock's at some point, and it looked like a father and daughter - even if their faces didn't look alike at all.
The R&D department looks much cleaner than the product department, a piece of white, very similar to the kind of lab in Resident Evil, but more popular.
There are not many people in the R&D department, only five or six, each occupying their own work territory, and when they saw someone coming in, they didn't pay much attention to it, and only cared about doing their own experiments.
The two followed Darwin around and around to the table in the comparison, where Connie counted all the way to the seven researchers, and there were only two women among them.
"Why isn't Alice here?" Led Sherlock and Connie to the table, looking at the newly researched samples, three different shades of lipstick, Darwin turned to talk to another person.
"She was not feeling well yesterday and threw up, so she took leave to rest at home today." The male researcher replied, and Darwin did not pursue the question.
So, there should be a total of eight researchers. Connie silently jotted down the names on the clothes of several people.
"How?" After a little spinning, Darwin came back and asked.
Connie looked at the three lipsticks, one fuchsia, one red, and one between orange and pink.
She looked at Sherlock, his gaze fixed on the fuchsia lipstick.
It seems that there is a play.
Connie muttered to herself and pulled the corner of Darwin's coat: "The quality is really good, but only these three colors?" β
Darwin nodded: "Other colors will be added in the future." But now the finished product only comes out in three colors. β
She pointed to the one on the far right: "This color is quite unusual, gradient?" "This is really common for the world in 10 years, but now, it's 2006.
Darwin's eyes lit up, and he secretly said that this little girl really knew the goods.
"Yes, this is an innovative color that uses two pigments, and when it comes into contact with the human lips, it changes according to the different colors." He said that this is just researched by the R&D department.
Connie's eyes lit up, "What color would that become?" Wouldn't it be ugly if it accidentally turned into some strange color? β
Darwin laughed: "I don't make too many color differences." He picked up the fuchsia one: "For example, this one, even if it changes, it will only be the original shade of color." β
Connie looked at the fuchsia and immediately frowned: "I don't like this color, if it becomes dark and black, it will be terrible!" β
Darwin smiled and did not refute her, this kind of heavy color, which few people like, is generally used in the fashion circle, when you want to take photos for styling, and ordinary people really don't use it much in daily life.
"There are not many people who use it, but there are also people who like it, someone just bought it some time ago, but if you look at the market, it is indeed the latter two that are easier to sell." He nodded, but what he said made Connie's heart happy.
Someone just bought it some time ago.
Look, isn't the clue here?
She happily glanced back at Sherlock, then looked back at Darwin and spoke again. 166 Reading Network
