The powerful cultivators in the city

The old man was very busy, but the old man was very busy.

"I want three tubes of Haoqing beauty ointment!"

"I want five!"

"Give me a dozen!"

...

In front of a counter in a well-known cosmetics chain store, there were three layers of people inside and outside, raising their hands and shouting to the salesperson.

"Excuse me, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, I will pack it for you right away."

...

There were five salespeople standing in the counter less than three meters long, who were so busy that they almost didn't touch the ground, but they still couldn't satisfy the customers who bought the products, and people kept arguing about it.

The salespeople at other counters could only look on with envy and jealousy.

"It's been so many years since I saw such a hot buying scene."

Not far away, a middle-aged man with a graceful demeanor looked at this scene and said with emotion.

"Yes, General Manager, when Haoqing Beauty Cream was promoted to our store, I was still hesitant, thinking that such an unknown small brand might not be bought by anyone, and I almost refused to buy it. Fortunately, I tried it at that time and found the amazing effect of Haoqing Beauty Cream, so I didn't miss this hot product."

A capable woman in her thirties opposite the general manager said with joy and relief.

"I estimate that it won't take long for Haoqing Beauty Cream to become popular in China. By then, the product will definitely be in short supply. You must keep in close contact with Haoqing Cosmetics Company and meet all their requirements. Don't run out of stock."

The middle-aged man urged.

"Don't worry, General Manager."

The capable woman replied.

...

Eight o'clock in the evening, Emperor Bar.

Squeak!

As the brakes sounded, several extremely conspicuous luxury sports cars stopped in front of the bar.

Then, several young men and women dressed in luxurious clothes and outstanding temperament got out of the car and walked into the bar with their heads held high.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, Miss Zhao, Miss Qian, you haven't been here for a long time."

The bar owner saw them and hurriedly greeted them warmly.

"Yes, I've been busy all the time, Lao Ma, has your bar got any new models recently? Recommend us. We finally have some free time today, and we want to drink to our heart's content!"

A leading young man asked.

"Forget about the new models. I've ordered them before, but the taste is not good. I'm not interested in trying them."

Another young man replied lazily.

"Let's get Lafite, Dynasty and Black Label. The ones with the longest years. Although I'm tired of drinking them, at least the quality is guaranteed."

Others also said one after another.

"Everyone, don't mention it, the bar has a new style recently, and it's very popular. And it's not just the bar, KTV, hotels, warehouses, supermarkets... almost everywhere is selling it!"

The bar owner heard it, his face moved, and said.

"New style? White wine or foreign wine, what brand?"

Everyone asked with great interest.

"You will know when you see it, I guarantee that as long as you drink a sip, you will never drink anything else."

The bar owner smiled mysteriously.

"Damn, Lao Ma, if you can make such a steady person like you say such a thing, then I have to see it anyway."

"Chinese and foreign famous brands, whether beer, white wine, red wine, as long as they are sold, there is nothing I haven't drunk. I really don't believe it. What kind of wine can make me drink a sip and not drink anything else."

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly bring it out for us to taste."

Everyone was immediately curious and said one after another.

"Okay!"

The bar owner snapped his fingers at the waiter, "Bring a few bottles of Haoling herbal tea."

The waiter turned around and took out several bottles of herbal tea drinks in plastic bottles from the wine cabinet and placed them on the bar.

"Old Ma, are you kidding us? We finally came here, and you give us herbal tea?"

"Is your Emperor Bar no longer in business? You actually sell drinks? Haoling herbal tea, what a shitty brand."

"Even if I, Wang Shao, die of thirst, die outside, or jump off from here, I can't drink a sip of this crap!"

When everyone saw it, they immediately frowned at Old Ma.

"Take a sip, take a sip and you will know."

Old Ma didn't make any distinction, picked up a bottle of Haoling herbal tea, sipped it slowly, and smiled slightly.

"Then I'll give you face and I'll reluctantly drink a sip."

The leading young man snorted, unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back and drank it.

Others also opened the bottle caps and drank.

"How is it?"

Old Ma asked with a smile.

"It tastes so good!"

...

On the top floor of the XX Cosmetics Group building, in a conference room.

"According to statistics, Haoqing Beauty Cream became the sales champion of Chinese cosmetics in just one month after it was launched. Its popularity in major cities has been unprecedented in decades, and it has become a phenomenal product."

"Whether domestic or foreign, whether famous or other brands, so far, no cosmetics can compete with Haoqing Beauty Cream. It can even be said that even if they are bundled together, they are not opponents."

"Now, Haoqing Beauty Cream has completely impacted the cosmetics market in S Province, and is radiating to the entire Chinese region with other provincial capitals as the center. The reason why it has not occupied the national market is not because of poor sales, It is because the production cannot keep up and it is often sold out. "

"Our R&D department worked hard for more than ten days and nights and finally decomposed the ingredients of Haoqing Beauty Ointment. The conclusion is that it is just a few common Chinese herbal medicines with beauty effects. There is nothing special except that the combination ratio is unknown. "

"Now not only our group, but also other cosmetics companies, including all foreign cosmetics companies, are facing huge pressure. Please work together and come up with a solution, otherwise, there will be only one way to go. "

At the main seat, a man in his fifties held a report and said solemnly.

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Speak up! The group gives you huge salaries every year just to keep you silent when life and death are at stake?"

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but slammed the table hard and said angrily.

"Chairman, please calm down."

A middle-aged man sitting next to him smiled bitterly, "We have held many meetings. If there is a practical and effective method, how could everyone not say it. But we have all seen the magic of Haoqing Beauty Cream with our own eyes. It is really a product that crushes ours. If we can't compete in quality, then no matter what we think of, it will be useless, because customers only believe in the effect."

Hearing this, the chairman sighed, and the anger disappeared, replaced by an extremely bitter meaning: "Can we just wait to die?"

"Chairman, I think our product sales may decline due to the impact of Haoqing Beauty Cream, but waiting to die may not be possible."

Suddenly, a young man in his thirties said hesitantly.

"Manager Qian, if you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly."

Hearing this, the chairman was refreshed and said quickly.

Others also looked at Manager Qian.

"Chairman, I don't have any good ideas."

Manager Qian smiled awkwardly, "It's just that before the meeting, I received a piece of latest information that the price of Haoqing Beauty Cream has increased. It was originally 200 yuan per tube, but now it is 2,000 yuan per tube, which has increased tenfold. I think this should be good news for us."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

They are all corporate elites, so they naturally know what this information means.

"Great! Haoqing Beauty Cream has raised its price so high that it will definitely discourage most consumers. This way, we have a chance to regain part of the market."

"That's right. Most people can afford 200 yuan and buy it if they want. But 2,000 yuan is basically not considered unless they are rich or need it."

"Haoqing Cosmetics Company is too short-sighted. Seeing the hot sales, they took the opportunity to raise prices, and raised them so high. Don't they know that this will not only fail to make more money, but also make consumers angry and lead to a decline in sales?"

"Yes, this bad move is simply to cut off their own financial resources."

Then, everyone said happily, and they were quite disdainful of Haoqing Cosmetics Company's actions.

"No, you are all wrong."

However, the chairman pondered for a while, but shook his head, "Now raising prices is not only not short-sighted and stupid for Haoqing Cosmetics Company, but also a very smart move."

Everyone was stunned.

"Why? Chairman."

Manager Qian asked puzzledly.

"Because if Haoqing Cosmetics Company maintains the original price, it will certainly kill us and other cosmetics companies, but it will also bring huge trouble to itself. In China, if it is not an official monopoly, it often does not end well."

The chairman said slowly, "As the saying goes, leave a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future. Haoqing Company automatically raised the price to deliberately divert some customers to us, so that they can eat meat and we can also drink soup, so as not to go bankrupt and completely hate them, and do things that affect their development. Haoqing Company can rest assured to make a lot of money in the cosmetics market stably and for a long time. This

Strategy, it's really brilliant. "

He said, he couldn't help but sigh, his face full of admiration.

Then everyone understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other.

...

Bang!

The door of the chairman's office was pushed open, and a young man holding a data sheet rushed in with a happy face: "Boss..."

He just said two words, and suddenly got stuck.

The boss with a greasy face and shiny bald head was sitting on a chair, and the young and beautiful female secretary was sitting on his legs.

The boss's hands were holding the sexy waist of the female secretary.

The three of them were stiff.

The boss reacted the fastest, and immediately said to the female secretary seriously: "Even if the company has not made a profit recently, in order to save money, you can't always sit on my legs to work. It's too hard. Go and ask someone to buy a chair."

"Boss, it's not hard for others, but it's hard for you to move around. "

The female secretary flirted, got off the boss's lap, and went out.

"Boss, you can't let yourself go. When I first joined the company, didn't you tell me that I should never give up easily at any time?"

Seeing this, the young man persuaded with great pain.

"That's just chicken soup for the soul. Now Haoling Herbal Tea crushes all the drinks on the market. Even if we try harder, we can't compete with them. Since we will go bankrupt sooner or later, we might as well be happy for a while."

The boss said listlessly, picked up a bottle of Haoling Herbal Tea on the table and drank it.

"It's really delicious!"

Then, he praised, "Compared with others, the orange juice produced by our company is dregs. I am convinced of my defeat."

The young man was speechless.

"By the way, what do you want to talk to me about? "

The boss asked.

"Boss, our Haohe brand orange juice sales have rebounded. Although it has not yet recovered to the level before Haoling Herbal Tea went public, judging from the data, it is no problem to regain profitability."

The young man handed the data sheet to the boss.

What?

The boss was stunned, then overjoyed, and hurriedly took it to look at it.

After a while, the boss put down the data sheet and crossed his legs proudly: "Is it because we withstood the pressure of competition, never gave up easily, and moved consumers, that the product sales have rebounded?"

"Boss, can you not feel so good about yourself?"

The young man said with disgust, "I have analyzed it. The reason why sales have rebounded is that Haoling Herbal Tea took the initiative to declare that it does not monopolize the beverage market and specially raised the price to ten yuan a bottle, so many of our original consumers felt that it was too expensive and came back to buy our orange juice."

...

"Have you investigated it clearly? "

In a hall, a middle-aged man in his forties, standing upright like a javelin, asked with his hands behind his back.

"Sir, I have investigated it clearly."

In front of the man in the long gown, a man who looked like a butler said respectfully, "Haoqing Beauty Cream and Haoling Herbal Tea are both from Donglin City, S Province. They are new companies that have just been registered not long ago. The legal person of Haoqing Cosmetics Company is Du Xueqing, the daughter of the boss of a family business in Donglin City with the surname Du. However, after investigation, it was found that Haoqing Cosmetics Company has no affiliation with the Du family and is an independent company. Du Xueqing and the Du family do not have any warriors. As for Haoling Herbal Tea, the legal person is Qu Lingling, a well-known figure in the underworld of Donglin City. He has just unified the Donglin underworld recently, and is an early stage external force warrior with considerable power in the local area. "

"Is that all?"

The man seemed a little surprised, "Are there no stronger warriors or some big forces secretly supporting Haoqing Beauty Cream and Haoling Herbal Tea?"

"I didn't find out. "

The housekeeper said, "The Du family in Donglin is suspected to have some connection with the Du family in Yanjing, but it is not completely certain. After all, it is related to the Du family, and some things are not easy to check."

The man nodded and asked, "Haoqing Beauty Cream and Haoling Herbal Tea are both newly emerging hot-selling products. Both of them have the word Hao in their names, and they are both in Donglin City. Is there any connection between the two?"

"I also thought that the two were related at first."

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "But after checking, I found that these are two completely different companies. Du Xueqing and Qu Lingling do not know each other, and their social relationships do not have any intersection. It should be a coincidence."

"I know, you book a ticket immediately, and I will leave for Donglin now."

The man nodded again, "Now Haoqing Beauty Cream and Haoling Herbal Tea are popular in China, and all parties are paying attention. I must get the formulas of these two hot-selling products as soon as possible, so as not to let others get there first."

As he said, two balls of light shot out of his eyes.

"Yes, sir. "

The housekeeper responded and turned to leave.

……

"Brother, the tickets have been booked. It's 3:20 pm.

The nearest flight to Donglin City. "

In a hotel, a tall and strong young man put down his mobile phone and said to a tower-like man.

"Well, let's go to the airport now."

The man nodded.

"Brother, I heard that the owners of Haoqing Beauty Cream and Haoling Herbal Tea are both young girls with tender looks? When we arrive in Donglin, you and the second brother don't have to do it. I am the best at dealing with women. I guarantee that they will hand over the formula obediently."

A young man with a wretched face and peach blossom eyes laughed obscenely.

"As long as they are willing to hand it over, it's up to you."

The man looked indifferent.

...

In the dim secret room, on a table, there was a bottle of Haoqing Beauty Cream and a bottle of Haoling Herbal Tea.

A man in his fifties, wearing shabby clothes, silently stared at the two things.

"Xishan, is there any connection between your disappearance and these two things? "

After a while, the man muttered to himself.

...

"Brother Chu, you are really patient. I'm afraid other warriors are rushing to Donglin City at this time, but you still have the leisure to drink tea at home?"

In the hall of a villa, a tall jade-like young man sat on the sofa and said to the handsome and unrestrained young man opposite the coffee table.

"Brother Lu, you are the same, you still have time to visit me."

The young man surnamed Chu held a teacup, took a sip elegantly, and smiled slightly.

"I just want to see if Brother Chu has the intention to take action. If you don't, then I won't be polite."

The young man surnamed Lu laughed.

"You don't want to see me, but want to see if my old man has this intention, right?"

The young man surnamed Chu put down the teacup and said leisurely.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. "

The young man surnamed Lu was not surprised, and said seriously, "To be honest, Brother Chu, I came here this time on the order of my father, and I want to ask you the truth. Does your Lu family have any intention?"

"If I say no, you probably won't believe it."

The young man surnamed Chu laughed.

"Then what are you waiting for? I guess some people have already arrived in Donglin. If we don't take action, it may be too late."

The young man surnamed Lu said.

"Why rush? Let them fight first. They are just a group of external force warriors who overestimate their own abilities."

The young man surnamed Chu said calmly, "Real masters will never take action so quickly, so we must also be patient and wait for all the big fish to jump out before we finally close the net."

"Brother Chu, good idea! "

The young man surnamed Lu raised his thumb in admiration.

…

Chinatown, Los Angeles, the United States.

In a somewhat shabby and dim ancestral hall, dozens of old men in robes or Tang suits held burning incense sticks, bowed respectfully to the tablets, and inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

"Elder Tian, ​​I wish you all the best on your return to China and retrieve the formula."

"Elder Tian, ​​thank you for your hard work. These two products that suddenly rose in China are very helpful to the subsequent development and growth of our Hongmen. They must not fall into the hands of others."

"Yes, it is too wasteful to let others run it. Only we have the strength to promote such good things to the world."

Everyone said to a ruddy old man.

"Don't worry, elders. I will come back with the formula in five or six days at most, including the round trip."

Elder Tian nodded and said in a calm tone.

…

Donglin, a gathering of wind and clouds!
