Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 241: Whitening? Every company’s every move

Overseas.

O’laya, Yashilan, Baojie, Shiseido, and other corporate giants all seemed to be shrouded in shadows.

Since the release of the epoch-making products by the five beauty companies from Dragon Nation, these competitors were thoroughly defeated.

Their high-end lines had reached a point where even deep discounts couldn’t salvage the sales.

After four months of contention.

They tried various tactics, such as purchasing and studying the high-end products of Bolaiya, a company from Dragon Nation.

However, they had no technological breakthroughs and couldn’t even produce an inferior, weakened version of the products.

They also tried to smear their competition through the media with accusations of harmful products, as per their usual public relations strategy.

Unfortunately for them, the effectiveness of the opposing products was so astonishing that they quickly accumulated a dedicated global fanbase, making them difficult to defame.

Take the products for removing spots and dark circles, for instance—traditional products would need several cycles, at least a few months, to show effects.

But the products from Dragon Nation showed significant results in just three days. Even if there were claims of health hazards, it’s hard to argue against the ’Hit the Nail on the Head’ effectiveness that women couldn’t resist!

For women, the consideration isn’t about the future; looking beautiful in the present is all that matters.

It’s like plastic surgery—who isn’t aware of the potential side effects? Including cosmetic injections, which can also have side effects, but that doesn’t stop women from only caring about looking ’beautiful now’ without worrying about the rest.

So, your slander against the competitor’s products is futile when they still take their chances with Dragon Nation’s domestic goods. Once they’ve tried them, they immediately become die-hard fans, and there’s no way to win them back!

In just four short months, globally renowned brands from various countries couldn’t withstand the pressure.

Some groups began to lay off employees.

Finally, all the groups reluctantly agreed to send their corporate business teams to Dragon Nation.

To negotiate the purchase of technology supplies!

Under the original cooperation model, Meiyue Group did not sell the technology directly to these groups but supplied it through the five domestic companies they held a controlling stake in.

This strategy was initially adopted to counteract harassment from various countries accusing them of having a monopoly.

Meiyue Group provided each level of technology to two domestic companies, without prohibiting global companies from discussing raw material supply cooperation.

The five companies were not opposed or worried either, because when they handed over their shares to the Meiyue Group, they had secured a cost advantage for the minimum purchase price of raw materials.

For any companies other than those five, the unit price for purchasing technology supplies would be higher!

This meant that the domestic five companies had a pricing advantage in the market!

They were not afraid to engage in a price war with other foreign companies!

Furthermore, Meiyue Group would grant the controlling agencies 30% of the revenue from the sales to foreign groups, compensating them for their losses in upcoming price wars.

Thus, not only could Lin Yue ensure the support of domestic companies, allowing them to thrive, but also enable Meiyue Group to fill their coffers by supplying technology to the global cosmetics market!

After the fourth month, twelve major companies from Eagle, Gaul, Touguo, and Little Sun, to name a few, rushed to collaborate with the five Meiyue-controlled companies in Dragon Nation.

Those with capacity turned to Bolaiya to purchase Grade A technology.

The mid and lower tier companies opted for brands like Natrual Hall that provided Grade C technology.

Within just one month, these twelve overseas companies collectively purchased raw materials worth 20 billion RMB, presenting yet another revenue stream for the Meiyue Group.

Just when the global beauty conglomerates were reentering the competition, domestic companies that had previously missed the opportunity to collaborate with Meiyue Group caught wind of some insider information.

This reignited their hopes of re-entering the market and rising to prominence.

"According to inside information leaked from Meiyue Group, the research and development for the new products involve two areas: one is scar and burn repair, and the other is skin whitening!"

Not just one, but in the meeting rooms of almost every second-tier beauty brand that was still surviving, executives and shareholders alike were eagerly holding discussions, preparing for battle.

"It’s estimated that both of these projects will split into two tiers of technology, Grade A and Grade B, and they might collaborate with four companies."

The mention of these four potential collaborators set all the corporations ablaze with interest.

"Gentlemen, you’ve all seen how well the first batch of companies that took the risk are doing, so I don’t think I need to spell it out for you," one remarked.

"Following Meiyue Group has brought them immense profits. Their financial reports and shareholders have seen their dividends multiplies several times over, and their stock prices are continually soaring, becoming the darlings of stock markets worldwide."

"If we miss out on this opportunity, we might not survive the winter. Once the secondary market is taken over by those overseas groups again, it will be extremely difficult to shake up the status quo!"

"In short, other than securing a technology licensing deal with Meiyue, we have no other choice!"

"Our company’s current market value is just over ten billion. If we continue like this for another two months, we might face bankruptcy. Since that’s the case, we have no choice but to make a stand. I suggest that we put up 70% of our shares to compete with our rivals with all our might!"

Displayed on the projections in all major companies were photos of four individuals: ’Ye Wei,’ ’Nie Yun,’ ’Ye Shuting,’ and ’Lin Qin.’

"These four are top executives of Meiyue Group, and they’re the ones we have the best chance of approaching. The company’s goal this time is to win over these four individuals. By whatever means necessary, use all your connections to get close and ingratiate yourselves with them!"

"Achoo!"

At Meiyue Group, executives like Ye Wei sneezed simultaneously.

Lin Yue’s secretary, Yu, knocked on Ye Wei’s office door, "Mr. Ye, the chairman is back and has called for a meeting with the four of you."

Once everyone had gathered, Lin Yue entered the meeting room.

All four stood up.

Lin Yue waved them off, her first glance scolding Ye Wei and Nie Yun, "You two, your salaries and bonuses for this month are gone!"

"Alright, Chairman, we have no objection," Ye Wei and Nie Yun instantly breathed a sigh of relief, their nervous hearts finally settling down with a light laugh.

In reality, they weren’t afraid of their sister-in-law’s overt anger, but her indifference would be far worse.

After Lin Qin returned home, she informed Xu Dong of the situation, "You know, big sis deducted their salaries and bonuses today because of how Mr. Ye and them squandered time in Beijing with Little Yu!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Xu Dong was momentarily stunned, "How much do their salaries and bonuses even amount to?"

Lin Qin, "Our group makes a lot, depending on the benefits and distribution big sister had set up. They were making a few billion a month."

"..." Xu Dong’s eyes widened, "So if I get on her bad side, is big sis going to shut down my shop too?"

The yearly income of his shop wasn’t even as high as the monthly income of Ye Wei and the others!

Lin Qin nodded, "Could be."
