*****************

This cosmetics set from Lab No. 9 has only been on the market for a month, but it has already sold for so much money?

No matter how Xiao Feng thought about it, it was a bit unbelievable. In China, it sold three billion yuan in one month, and in Europe, it sold five billion yuan in one month, which adds up to eight billion yuan!

This is without entering the American market, as well as the markets in Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, and Africa!

If we could achieve global sales, how much money would we make?

Why, I worked so hard to run a fast food chain for more than two years, and how much money did I make?

If you can’t make as much money in a month from selling the products of the Ninth Laboratory, is this justified?

No wonder Master Confucius said that only villains and women are difficult to raise. This woman’s money is so easy to make!

But when I think about it, this must be related to the fact that this product has just been launched and consumers are interested in it. Once time has passed, even if consumers know that your product is effective, they may not like it.

Buy with enthusiasm.

After all, the price of his product is too expensive. An ordinary set costs more than a thousand euros in Europe, a medium one costs several thousand euros, and a top-level one costs tens of thousands of euros.

Such an expensive product, no matter how effective it is, not everyone can afford it.

Moreover, there are so many European and American cosmetics that can compete, and this item is not a necessity, and it will not kill people if they don't use the cosmetics from the Ninth Laboratory, so he thinks that the sales volume may drop in a short period of time.

However, if all global sales channels are opened up, it shouldn't be a problem to earn billions of dollars a year.

Think about it, L'Oréal has a revenue of more than 10 billion euros a year, and Estee Lauder in the United States is not far behind, with a revenue of tens of billions of dollars a year, it is not a problem at all.

If my Ninth Laboratory's products are better than theirs and priced higher than theirs, then it shouldn't be a problem to earn more than 10 billion US dollars in the next year.

And unlike them, the net profit of my own model is definitely higher than theirs.

The cost of personnel is definitely not as good as that of Europe and the United States, and the most critical thing is that the raw material jade liquid is simply obtained by me from another world for nothing. It can be said to be zero cost. This is better than that of those in Europe and the United States.

I don’t know how much advantage big brands have taken.

You must know that the cost of raw materials accounts for a large part of the product costs of these big-name European and American cosmetics companies, especially those high-end cosmetics, which indeed use a lot of expensive high-end raw materials.

For example, before the launch of the Ninth Laboratory products, Lamo, known as the king of facial creams in the world, their facial creams contained very precious deep-sea seaweed ingredients, which can nourish the skin. There is also an even more exaggerated product that actually contains pearl powder.

, said to be able to remove cuticles.

As a result, the cost of their products has been greatly increased.

The same is true for other brands. The more high-end the product, the higher the cost because it contains some unique ingredients. The cost of refining these unique ingredients is extremely high.

But Xiao Feng completely avoids this trouble. His small molecule collagen is completely free from another world.

Of course, he will definitely not disclose this part to the public, but will use an overseas shell company as a raw material supplier. This part will naturally be included in the cost.

With more than 8 billion in his hands, Xiao Feng can be considered wealthy now, but how should he spend this money?

Pay off the $2 billion owed to Citigroup first? This is obviously not cost-effective.

The interest rate on the loan from Citigroup can be said to be very low. Because the loan amount is huge, Citigroup gave a three-year term, but the interest rate was only 1.5.

Xiao Feng was speechless when he saw this interest rate. The cost of funds for foreigners was also extremely low. Maybe Citigroup contacted some sovereign funds or pension funds from some institutions to get it.

Of course, people don't make money based on this interest rate. They point to the handling fee. The handling fee for three years is 1.50 per year for Xiao Feng. In this way, the annual interest rate is equivalent to 3%. Compared with

The XX benchmark of 4.75 is still 1.75 points lower.

Many people may look at it and say, wow, the interest rates on foreign capital loans are so cheap? Yes, they are so cheap. In a fully competitive market environment, if your interest rate is not low enough, you will not be competitive.

Xiao Feng's network is still not wide enough. If it were wide enough, he could even find lower funds than this.

Since the interest rate is very cost-effective, there is no need to rush to repay the loan. Anyway, the ninth laboratory will continue to make money for him, and he is not afraid of not being able to pay it back in the future.

Then this money should be used on the decoration of these two buildings first. After all, his funds for decoration had been quite tight before.

In the past, only celebrity chefs could create such a cash cow. They almost relied on the daily cash flow generated by celebrity chefs to pay for the decoration costs. Now there is no need to be so nervous.

Many decoration projects can be started at the same time, such as Xiao Feng's six-story sky mansion on the top of the building, and the hotel below the celebrity chef's manufacturing headquarters.

In addition, the office area and test area of ​​He Xiaojun's ninth laboratory can also start to be renovated, and some needed equipment can be purchased with confidence.

But even so, it only cost less than two to three billion. After all, Li Mingcheng helped him with the decoration, so it didn't cost much.

As for the equipment procurement for the Ninth Laboratory, because a large amount of equipment has been purchased originally, although the Ninth Laboratory is still expanding, it only needs some supplementary equipment and does not need to re-purchase all of it.

Of course, Xiao Feng was quite generous and directly approved another billion in funds for He Xiaojun and the others for future scientific research experiments.

Scientific research is a costly investment. For example, as Yang Xin and Xiao Feng mentioned before, they want to use small molecule collagen to synthesize a new super nutrient solution, albumin!

This thing was extracted from human blood in the past. It is a necessary medicine to maintain the osmotic pressure of the human body. With this medicine, the efficiency of detoxification of the human body can be improved. It is essential for the recovery of the human body after serious injuries and for the survival of patients with severe and terminal illnesses.

Miracle medicine.

The price is very expensive, and Yang Xin and the others want to find a new way to synthesize this miracle drug by using small molecule collagen and the magical K-alpha active factor, thereby reducing the cost of the miracle drug.

This requires thousands of experiments, which means a lot of investment in manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

If Xiao Feng didn't dare to support them in this kind of play in the past, but now that he has money, of course he can invest in them and let them do it. Anyway, the ideas they put forward are supported by certain scientific evidence.

After discussing the allocation of funds with He Xiaojun and asking him and Xia Hongtao to ensure the use of funds, Xiao Feng got up and left Laboratory 9.

Although He Xiaojun and several major leaders of the laboratory tried their best to persuade him to stay and have a meal with him, Xiao Feng still had many things to be busy with, so he declined their request.

He left the laboratory with Zhu Ziqi. It was already noon outside. He went home to put down his luggage and rested for a while. Then he drove Zhu Ziqi to see the Twin Towers he bought and checked the progress of the decoration.

With Li Mingcheng watching the scene, there is no problem with the decoration quality. The office area of ​​the Celebrity Chef Manufacturing Group above the building on the left is already halfway through decoration. The hotel below and the commercial complex between the two buildings have also begun to be decorated.

Renovated.

For the building on the right, once the funds are available tomorrow, I believe He Xiaojun will immediately start arranging for decoration.

The burn and scald hospital below has been basically renovated and is currently in the ventilation and odor release stage. Some medical equipment has begun to arrive one after another.

Guan Zhenhai was also very energetic at this time. He walked around the decoration site every morning, and then went back to a school they rented to see the personnel training there. He took this very seriously.

After returning from the Twin Towers, Xiao Feng went to the Celebrity Chef Manufacturing Flagship Store in Xingang District. He originally started here, but after the renovation of the Twin Towers is completed, several senior executives will leave here and go to the group headquarters of the Twin Towers.

Office.

In the commercial complex below the Twin Towers, a larger flagship store with more luxurious decoration will be opened there and operated as the main flagship store.

As for another direct-operated store near Marina Square, it will be cancelled. However, Xiao Feng has already spent money to buy this store. As for what the store will be used for in the future, he has not yet decided.

When he arrived at Celebrity Chef Manufacturing, Zhou Jing and the newly arrived Tian Qing were both in the store, while Xiao Lin and Katya went to Daimen Island to stare at the construction of factories and living bases there.

When the big boss arrived, Zhou Jing and Tian Qing were a little surprised, but also quite pleasantly surprised. They reported the recent work results to the big boss.

After the last storm, celebrity chefs and manufacturing are now back on track. Even thanks to the publicity of Wan Gongzi and those big stars in the later period, the business of celebrity chefs and manufacturing has gone a step further and reached a higher level than before.

.

In Bincheng, their hometown, their business had not been affected before, and they did not see many supportive customers afterwards. After all, Bincheng is a weak second-tier city, and its economic level is incomparable with those of first-tier and new first-tier cities.

Feedback from directly-operated stores in first-tier and new first-tier cities says that the effect is very obvious, with profitability increasing by at least 20% compared to before.

When he thought of this, Xiao Feng felt that he would really have to thank Mr. Wan if he had the opportunity in the future.

After Tian Qing joined for more than a month, she finally became familiar with the situation of Celebrity Chef Manufacturing. She used her experience to personally organize a planning team from various branches and planned several new projects for Celebrity Chef Manufacturing.
