Chapter 23 Hollywood Actresses
Richard met Daniel, the owner of the Conderson factory. After three years of operation, his cosmetics company was still not profitable. During this period, the stock market and high-tech industries had skyrocketed in value. He couldn't wait to get rid of this burden and invest in high-profit industries.
"Mr. Daniel, how much do you plan to sell this company for?"
"Two million US dollars. These devices of mine are new equipment that I have just customized three years ago. The factory has been in stable production and has a profit of more than 100,000 US dollars every month. I think it is worth the price!" Daniel said confidently.
"Mr. Daniel, the so-called profit of hundreds of thousands is obtained by investing heavily in advertising every year. The actual profit is not that much." George said directly.
"Even so, it is still profitable and sales are expanding," said Daniel.
Richard smiled slightly, a gleam of inspiration flashed in his eyes, and he performed the suggestion spell instantly: "Mr. Daniel, your company still has a bank loan that has not been repaid."
"Yes, not only is there a loan, but the company's sales are not good." Under Richard's suggestion, Daniel couldn't help but point out the shortcomings of the factory. In the end, Richard successfully acquired the factory for US$900,000.
Next, Richard began to upgrade and renovate the factory. He appointed George Brian as the general manager of the factory, responsible for renovating the factory according to Richard's requirements.
Richard returned to the villa, and as soon as he entered the door, a figure rushed into his arms. The pair of plus-size items on his chest gave him a great sense of oppression.
"Richard, where did that set of cosmetics come from?" Cathaway asked excitedly.
"How is it? Is it useful?" Richard stretched out his hand and held up the elastic and round peach.
"It's amazing!" Cathaway said excitedly.
Then she began to tell Richard about the benefits of this set of skin care products. In fact, as a seductress, Cathaway's skin condition was already very good, and this set of skin care products did not have much effect on her. However, Richard obviously underestimated women's pursuit of their own appearance.
"How about two thousand dollars for a set of skin care products like this?" Richard asked.
"It's worth the money. I believe no woman can refuse it!" Cathway said firmly.
That night, a fierce battle broke out in the villa. From the living room to the balcony, from the kitchen to the bathroom, various postures were unlocked, catching up with "The Pink Book".
The next day, the little witch Madison came with great excitement. The effect of the skin care products was more obvious on her. Her skin was visibly whiter and smoother, almost as if two layers of filters were added.
On this day, the little witch's fighting power increased sharply, but her physical fitness was not even as good as Cathaway's. How could she be Richard's opponent? She soon began to beg for mercy and call for her daddy.
After receiving good feedback from Cathaway and Madison, Richard began to prepare for the sales of "Elf Tears" skin care products. In this era, even miracle drugs need to be promoted and advertised.
What is the best way to promote skin care products? The answer is simple: find Hollywood actresses.
The shelf life of European and American women is usually very short. After the age of 30, they will show obvious aging. However, 30 is the time when most female stars are at the peak of their popularity. Richard is very confident.
Of course, those once famous but now old and ugly actresses also need it. Richard asked Jon Bryan to produce these skin care products, while he himself went to California with some skin care products.
As long as he could open up sales channels in California, he could also open up sales channels in the entire Lighthouse Country and the European and American world. After arriving in California, Richard did not rely on the connections of those wealthy people. He did not intend to share the profits from cosmetics with others. He wanted to keep the profits alone to raise funds for his floating city.
When Richard arrived, he had already identified several targets, including Monica Bellucci, Nicole Kidman, Alicia, Elizabeth Taylor, etc. These were all actresses who were currently popular or had been very popular.
After arriving in California, Richard first rented a villa in Beverly Hills, then collected their information, including addresses, preferences, etc., and began to select. In the end, he chose Monica Bellucci and Nicole Kidman.
These two people have just become popular in Hollywood, but they are already in their thirties. Although they still look beautiful now, it is all the effect of cosmetics.
Richard sent an invitation letter to the two people in the name of the company, expressing his desire to invite them to endorse the company's skin care products. In order to get the two to agree, Richard also added suggestion magic to the invitation letter.
It was a sunny day and Monica Bellucci, who had just participated in a fashion magazine photo shoot, returned home.
"Monica, here is a business invitation. Do you want to attend?" The assistant next to her handed her an invitation letter.
"Commercial invitation? What's the price? Endorsement or advertising?" Monica asked tiredly.
"Well, I think it would be better if you see it yourself." said the assistant.
Monica took the invitation and flipped through it casually. As soon as she opened the invitation, her casual expression immediately became serious. The content of the invitation was not much. It was an invitation from a cosmetics company to experience a new product. She didn't know how many invitations like this she would receive in a year, but she would only accept those from famous brands.
But after seeing the invitation, she suddenly had a feeling that if she missed this invitation, she would probably regret it. So somehow, Monica agreed.
"Okay, I agree. Please arrange the time tomorrow."
"Ok!"
At the same time, Nicole Kidman also received such an invitation and, like Monica, decided to accept it.
Early the next morning, Monica brought her assistant to Richard's villa in Beverly Hills. After seeing Richard, Monica was a little surprised, but before she could ask, another Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman also came here.
Richard led a few people into the villa, and then began to say to everyone: "This is the skin care and anti-aging product launched by our company, 'Elf Tears'. Its effect is unprecedented. It can really delay aging and make people's skin moisturized, smooth and elastic."
"Sir, all skin care products now have this claim, but the effect..." Nicole Kidman's assistant spread her hands.
Richard smiled and said, "What is the real effect? It's very simple. You can experience it directly." As he said that, Richard handed over two sets of 'Elf Tears'
He took out the skin care products and asked them to try them.
As actresses, they would not try such unknown cosmetics casually, but after seeing Richard, they subconsciously wanted to try it.
