"Hahaha..."
A single sentence from Young Master Cao had once again become a meme.
This matter was far from over.
Young Master Cao's words, "Those with strength, ambition, and a desire to pursue a global strategy should approach General Manager Xu," instantly gave hope to domestic peers.
Regardless of their locations across the country, domestic peers rushed to Zhonghai without hesitation.
They didn't dare to simply send an ordinary person; almost all the bosses came in person to show their respect.
However, Young Master Cao didn't need to be involved in this. Xu Qing took full charge.
After all, it's difficult to achieve anything alone. The global market is vast, and Miracle Cosmetics alone can't devour such a large market share.
It's necessary to share some of the profits.
Firstly, it's to quickly seize a larger share of the global market.
Secondly, it's to share the pressure.
Thirdly... it's also a way to gain some emotional value. It would be so frustrating for foreign companies if they were excluded!
No matter how you look at it, Young Master Cao wouldn't suffer a loss.
Incidentally, a cosmetics club was established, bringing together companies with strength, ambition, and capabilities to form an alliance.
Naturally, Young Master Cao became the leader of this alliance.
Holding the "Dragon - Slaying Saber," it was time to command the "martial arts world," wasn't it?
...
The incident involving Olay was still making waves.
There were even protests in France.
The issues of matricide and bribing senators had even implicated the current president.
Once the news was exposed, it caused a huge uproar in France.
Coupled with Olay's recent frequent actions, such as massive lay - offs and a sharp decline in the stock market, many people suffered heavy losses.
Inside the Olay Group, there was also a great deal of turmoil.
Old Betten had passed away, and Young Beidang, who had just taken over, was arrested. The equity was now in the hands of the third - generation, his two grandsons.
But how could they compete with the board of directors?
With the continuous depreciation of assets, the plummeting stock price, and the continuous fermentation of the incident.
Within a few days, Old Betten's two grandsons agreed to sell their shares to the board of directors...
At this time, Paul stepped forward. Holding a considerable amount of equity and supported by people like Fran, he became the new president of the empire.
Immediately afterwards,
Paul began to eliminate dissidents and clean up some of the capital within the group.
Miracle Cosmetics clearly had no intention of cooperating with foreign cosmetics companies. The more this was the case, the more hopeless the future of an old brand like Olay seemed.
Don't be deceived by Olay's large size and numerous sub - brands.
Even a giant like this could collapse in an instant.
If they didn't escape now, when would they?
The profit - seeking and risk - avoiding nature of international capital emerged. They all rushed to sell their Olay shares and the equity of its subsidiary companies.
This was really a last - ditch move.
There was no hope in sight.
Especially,
Recently, many pure - blooded nobles from Europe had flocked to the East for "tourism."
Everyone knew that they were actually there for the cosmetics.
This also confirmed the Western saying, "I could have borne the darkness if I had never seen the light!"
And the five - character Chinese saying, "It's hard to go from luxury to frugality," summed up the situation perfectly.
Not only the pure - blooded nobles and wealthy women in Europe and America but also some capitalists had sent people to the East to try to contact Miracle Cosmetics.
Miracle Cosmetics had only been established for two years. Although it had the guise of a century - old brand,
in the end, it had neither raised funds nor gone public. This was a golden opportunity!
...
...
In the blink of an eye, it was July.
The limited - edition luxury gift boxes of cosmetics were on sale and were in extremely high demand.
The naming rights for the third season of "The Voice" were snatched up by a yogurt drink brand.
The price was 350 million yuan!
This was 50 million yuan more than last year.
Normally, it shouldn't have been this expensive. After all, it was the third season. Although the ratings had always been good, the level of attention was naturally not as high as in the previous seasons, right?
However,
Coincidentally, countless people were paying attention to the naming rights of the third season of "The Voice" because of the incident where Olay had been "duped" last time.
In just half a month, the naming fee soared from the previous 270 million yuan to 350 million yuan!
It had increased by a full 80 million yuan.
This was the power of attention and the resulting traffic.
Moreover, it really caught the attention of countless people, and discussions started on the Internet.
"What is Amuxi?"
"Where did this big spender come from?"
"Those who call it a big spender are so funny. Now, when doing business with Young Master Cao, one has to be extremely careful. Otherwise, you might not even know when you've been scammed."
"Poor Olay. Last year, they spent 300 million yuan on advertising for the X - essence. I still vaguely remember that there were small reminders about the X - essence everywhere on the stage of 'The Voice'. Well, 300 million yuan went into Young Master Cao's pocket, and they even helped Young Master Cao promote the X - essence. Olay must be crying in the toilet."
"Young Master Cao: So what? Go sue me at the United Nations!"
"Hahaha..."
"I've found out. Amuxi is a yogurt."
"Are you even listening to yourself? Of course, we know it's a yogurt!"
"What I mean is, it's a flavored yogurt, a new brand under the Yiyi Group."
"I've never heard of it, but it seems okay."
"I'll go buy some later."
"You won't believe it. I just got off work and passed by a supermarket. I saw this thing and thought it was new, so I bought a bottle. Who would have thought... it's the naming sponsor of 'The Voice'. What a coincidence!"
"It's a domestic brand, right? Then Young Master Cao probably won't scam them."
"Right. Young Master Cao loves scamming foreigners."
"Young Master Cao: So what? Go sue me at the United Nations!"
"..."
According to the timeline in the dream, this yogurt didn't exist at this time.
According to the non - mainstream event coordinates, it wouldn't appear for at least another two years.
However, it didn't stop Young Master Cao from launching it.
Young Master Cao acquired more than 10% of the shares of the Yiyi Milk Group from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and became one of the major shareholders.
After that, he had a brief negotiation with the milk group and jointly established the Amuxi Yogurt brand through a joint - venture.
There were benefits to establishing it at this time because the concept of Greek yogurt would become popular globally in two years. By establishing it in advance, they could capture a large market share.
The reason for the cooperation was that Young Master Cao didn't need to get involved. The milk group had its own channels and a ready - made supply of milk. All they needed was to develop a constant - temperature technology.
In short,
Currently, Young Master Cao held more than 10% of the shares in the milk group and more than 40% in the yogurt company.
Young Master Cao also planned to add some special ingredients to the yogurt in the future, which would really help with skin - whitening and beauty.
Wouldn't it be a huge hit then?
But there was no need to rush.
The research institute could work on it slowly.
Even if they developed it in the future, it wouldn't be directly merged with the yogurt company.
The research results would belong entirely to Young Master Cao. Just like in the cosmetics cooperation, Miracle Cosmetics provided the X - essence to the members of the cosmetics club.
Their task was to expand the market. For every product sold, Young Master Cao would get a share of the profits, and it would be the major share.
Moreover, by controlling the top of the supply chain, Young Master Cao could allocate market territories to everyone. He would take the most profitable part for himself, and the rest would be shared among others.
Don't say that Young Master Cao didn't take care of others.
The same model would be applied to the yogurt business in the future.
There are three key aspects of commercial products: research and development, brand building, and manufacturing.
Research and development always takes the lion's share, the brand gets a small piece of the pie, and manufacturing only gets the scraps.
This is also the reason why Young Master Cao established all the R & D centers in the ecological park.
He wants to master core technologies.
Moreover, money can never be earned up.
And creating a brand is too time - consuming.
So,
In the future, Cao Cheng will only focus on R & D. Then he will cooperate with well - known brands, borrow their brands and channels, and find OEM manufacturers to produce inexpensive products.
With little effort, he can make big money.
...
...
The third season kicks off.
Young Master Cao paid attention today.
Because he took a fancy to the contestants selected in this year's audition and planned to sign them.
The tutor has also been changed.
The God of Songs has been replaced by a doctor.
They are both singers from the Hong Kong music circle, so everyone is familiar with them.
As long as they can get along well.
The overall level has not dropped; instead, it has been improved.
The list of contestants selected in this audition is much thicker than that of the second season.
For example, Bichen, Zhousheng...
Some people may not like them?
It's right if you don't like them.
Now some people are already complaining about Young Master Cao's Miracle Media for specifically recruiting artists with a bad reputation, like Little Chensheng.
Anyway, you, Little Chensheng, just walked out on the job. You had no professional ethics at all and caused the biggest live - broadcast accident in the history of Toilet TV. Such a person should be banned.
This cannot be whitewashed.
Even if Toilet TV forgives Little Chensheng in the future, there will still be people criticizing his professional ethics and his secretly getting married and having children.
And there is Little Hanyun. This little guy has even more haters.
So many people can't understand why Young Master Cao, who is rich and powerful, doesn't invite better - behaved artists but instead those with no professional ethics and full of scandals.
Cao Cheng didn't answer everyone's questions. He just murmured in his heart: You guys don't understand a thing!
What he wants is a mix of good and bad. Otherwise, how can there be topics? How can there be negative emotions?
Some people think Zhousheng's voice is like the sound of nature, while others think it's like that of a eunuch.
Cao Cheng just loves it.
In ten or twenty years, as Zhousheng becomes more and more popular, negative emotions will always accompany him!
Tell me if this business is worth it or not.
...
Cao Cheng was at home, and everyone was watching the premiere together.
Ren's mother had been discharged from the hospital and temporarily moved back. The sisters had also put aside some of their work, and there was always someone at home to keep her company.
They took care of the elders and the children.
The name has also been chosen.
The formal name is Cao Jinhe, which means beauty and vitality.
The nickname is Xiaoman. A little fulfillment is better than complete perfection!
It can be seen that Ren's mother and Old Cao only have one wish for their youngest daughter, which is to be happy, full of vitality, with little fulfillment and little luck.
Cao Cheng glanced at the beginning of The Voice of China and then saw Eldest Sister holding the youngest sister coming over.
Cao Cheng clicked his tongue and said, "Little Aman."
Eldest Sister immediately gave him a kick and scolded him gently, "Don't call her that. What Little Aman? Her name is Xiaoman."
Cao Cheng laughed and said, "Aman sounds so nice, especially since our family name is Cao!"
The Fourth beside him raised his hand and gave him a pat, saying, "Watch TV and don't talk nonsense."
He just can't stay at home for even a minute.
They are always pushing and shoving.
In the past, it was only The Fourth and the Second.
Now Eldest Sister also likes to kick.
It's still good to have The Third.
"Third Sister, please comfort me. I've been bullied," Cao Cheng pleaded.
The Third doted on Young Master Cao so much. Even after the youngest sister was born, she still loved Young Master Cao the most.
She picked up a grape and put it into his mouth, saying softly, "Watch TV."
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
