Chapter Seventy-Three: Committing a Crime
A week later, the national sales volume of Langhua exceeded 8 million bottles, which completely detonated the whole network and sparked a national discussion.
Many media outlets rushed to report on the waves, and many media and traditional newspapers wanted to interview Liu Lang, but all of them were rejected.
According to incomplete statistics, whether it is a foreign manufacturer or a domestic manufacturer, their sales have shrunk by more than 50% that month, and SKII in Sakura Country has even shrunk by 90%.
90% is a terrifying concept, to be honest, even Liu Lang didn't expect that the advertising slogan of the waves: the real fairy water, may have played a great role in it.
But the biggest effect, thanks to the nearly 100% praise of the whole network, no one is allergic to the waves, even if occasionally a few examples of allergies are exposed, soon the person concerned will come out to clarify that it is just a food allergy, he misunderstood the waves.
This 100% praise is not only in exchange for advertising, if the reclaimed water of the cornucopia does not have such a miraculous effect, then no matter how good the advertising is, consumers will not pay.
Liu Lang knows very well that he is making a product, not a gimmick.
Of course, it's not his credit, it's the credit of the reclaimed water, he just used his brain and did a few more experiments.
The users who used to use SKII have also seen a visible improvement after using the Wave Blossom Serum, which is one of the reasons why the share of SKII has dropped so significantly.
Bai Lan is even more exaggerated, after she bought the two boxes from Liu Lang and used them back, the effect was very obvious, so she directly ordered 2,000 bottles and sent them to the employees of their company, the women used them themselves, and the men took them home for their wives.
Last time, Liu Lang asked for money to tease her, and this time Liu Lang directly gave her a seven-fold discount on the 2,000 bottles.
You asked Liu Lang why he didn't just get rid of it?
2,000 bottles are only more than one million, if you don't want Bai Lan's more than one million, I'm afraid Bai Lan won't be willing.
This is a woman who is strong from the surface to the bones.
Because when he signed contracts with various platforms at that time, the terms stipulated that as long as the payment exceeded 1 million, it must be settled, so a week later, Liu Lang withdrew all the sales of all platforms.
In the end, more than 4.8 billion were received.
Coupled with the previous deposits, Liu Lang's current liquid funds on the books have exceeded 5 billion.
This is the first 5 billion in his life, but it is still too far from the position of the richest man.
Liu Lang checked the Forbes rich list in Yanxia Country, and the current first place is Jack Ma, with a net worth of 340+ US dollars.
The concept of the US dollar and the yuan is different, and it will be about 240 billion yuan when converted into yuan.
In comparison, although Liu Lang's 5 billion is not a drop in the bucket, it is still small.
At this time, the outside world valued the waves one by one, and the brand value directly exceeded 10 billion.
For a new brand, especially its products have only been launched for less than a month, and they have not yet withstood the long-term test of the market, so this process will take some time.
But Liu Lang was not ready to stop.
Quite simply, in this week's time, Wave Blossom sold more than 8 million bottles, which is a figure close to saturation, which means that the potential customers of Wave Blossom are almost at this number.
In another week, Liu Lang estimates that the sales volume will exceed 10 million bottles, and then it will enter a real saturation period, and the sales of the waves will also be discounted.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the repurchase rate will reach 80%, or even 100%, Liu Lang is so confident.
Therefore, Liu Lang should strike while the iron is hot and enrich the product line of the waves as soon as possible.
Face masks, sprays, sunscreens, body lotions, and even makeup in the future.
But these require a certain amount of technical precipitation, although the first step of the waves is very successful, but it is also too big, and it is easy to fall on the heels.
So after a meeting and discussion, Liu Lang asked his various departments to set up a project first, and then report to him after studying the results.
In addition, the three official platforms also released a trailer, saying that in the near future, new products will be launched to enrich the product line.
As for the acquisition of other manufacturers?
Liu Lang really had this plan before, but now, he can consider supporting the domestic ones, as for those foreign brands, where to stay cool.
After consolidating the inland market, Liu Lang's eyes are on the world, and the women in this world will be his potential customers.
However, all this is a superficial victory.
In fact, the underground of Zhonghai City is surging.
The dark tide began with the cooperation of Liu Lang and Bai Lan.
When the dark tide had not affected Liu Lang, he lived quite a fulfilling life.
In the morning, he and Suna were in the company to deal with affairs, and held a meeting to determine the future development direction of the company, and his request was that the company could run stably after leaving him, so this week was basically used to specify various policies.
In the afternoon, he drove to an abandoned factory in the suburbs and used a cornucopia to replicate sand, cement, lime and gravel.
These are all building materials that Bailan needs, of which cement and lime are indispensable raw materials for mixing concrete.
In the evening, he went to Bai Lan's house to eat.
In the middle of the night, Bai's trucks would go to the factory to haul the raw materials to their construction sites.
According to Bai Lan's news, this situation only needs to continue for another week, because she has already contacted an industrial company in other provinces, and on the premise of ensuring the interests of both parties, this company will cooperate with Bai's Group to provide the necessary building materials for Bai's Group, including these and steel materials provided by Liu Lang now.
This is not to cross the river and tear down the bridge, looking for a new partner is what Liu Lang wants Bai Lan to do, he can't spend so much time using a cornucopia to copy the cement sand, on the one hand, it is a waste of time, and on the other hand, it is a violent thing.
So after the cooperation on Bai Lan's side is negotiated, he will close Langhua Industry and make Langhua Industrial a shell company.
But late that night, the Bai Group went to the suburbs to pull a convoy of construction materials and did not return.
The next day, when the Bai Group investigated, it was discovered that five large trucks had been detained by villagers in a village.
At that time, Liu Lang was in a meeting, and Bai Lan called to inform him.
Coincidentally, Bai Lan caught a flight to other provinces early this morning to discuss cooperation with the boss of another industrial company, and it was impossible to go back at all.
And this matter is a little strange, and Bai Lan is not at ease to let others deal with it.
In this way, Liu Langcheng ran errands.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go over now."
Liu Lang hung up the phone and immediately asked Suna to go with him.
Five trucks, ten drivers, all middle-aged and middle-aged, and all of them are the kind of big cars that are more than ten meters long.
Such a lineup was stopped by a group of villagers, and they didn't even send a message back, and they didn't know until now.
The only possibility is that they have been subjected to violence, and their mobile phones and other communication tools have been snatched away by the villagers.
So when Liu Lang took Suna there, he called a few bodyguards to follow behind in a car, and even asked them to bring a guy for self-defense.
There is indeed a long road from the suburban factory of Langhua Industry to the urban area, and this road needs to pass through several suburban villages, and their fields are next to the provincial highway, so they often move on this side of the provincial highway.
Liu Lang's hometown is also in the innermost part of those villages, but it is very remote, and it is almost close to the mountains, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Lang came out of the mountain villages.
After rushing to the scene of the incident with people, Liu Lang found that things were far from being as simple as he thought.
More than a dozen drivers were beaten to the point that their noses and faces were swollen, and there were not many vehicles coming and going on the provincial highway, and almost all the other vehicles entering the city were not far from a national highway.
Rao is like this, five large trucks more than ten meters long, parked on the side of the road, are still very recognizable.
The leader of the villagers is called Wang Jinxi, and when he saw the car driven by Liu Lang, he knew that Liu Lang was the big boss.
So as soon as Liu Lang got out of the car, he took the villagers and surrounded them with sickles, mallets, shovels and the like.
Where had Suna seen this kind of formation, she hid behind Liu Lang in fright, and the bodyguards brought by Liu Lang also hurriedly surrounded her, and took out the guys one after another to protect Liu Lang and Suna.
Liu Lang found the tortured driver on the side of the road before he got out of the car, and he saw Wang Jinxi at a glance and knew that this person must be the leader of these villagers.
So he pointed to the driver next to him and said, "Fellow, those people you beat are mine, may I ask what happened to them?" ”
Liu Lang spoke the dialect of this area, he originally grew up in this area, so Wang Jinxi was stunned for a moment after hearing it, but he still said arrogantly: "Your people killed our livestock, and the people were also injured, and we have to compensate." ”
Saying that, Wang Jinxi gave up a position, and Liu Lang saw that there were indeed a few sheep and a few cows on the side of the road behind him, but they had already fallen to the ground and vomited blood.
Suna is used to living in a big city, and she hasn't even been to the vegetable market much, and the meat she usually comes into contact with is cooked in a restaurant, or the fat cow rolls or fat sheep rolls bought in the supermarket.
If it weren't for the inappropriateness of this occasion, Liu Lang would definitely have to tease her.
At this time, Wang Jinxi waved his hand, and several villagers limped up with three injured people.
"These three people were injured by you, you look at the compensation, the compensation is less, their families are unwilling."
When talking about their families, another group of villagers took a few steps forward with their guys, which strengthened their morale.
Not to mention, these villagers who usually work in the fields are all dark-skinned, with healthy bodies and great strength.
If it really starts, these bodyguards brought by Liu Lang are really not opponents.
"How much are you going to lose?" Liu Lang asked directly.
Wang Jin was happy to see that Liu Lang was not at all ridiculous, and stretched out a finger.
"Eight thousand."
"Eight thousand?"
Liu Lang was a little surprised, and took out his mobile phone as he spoke, as long as it was 8,000 yuan, he really didn't know how the driver had dealt with it in recent years, if you hit someone, it would be tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands.
But Wang Jinxi shook his head and said.
"No, it's eighty million."
