Chapter 1146 Tears of Nemesis
Chapter 1146 Tears of Nemesis
Pierre, the chief strategy officer of Olay, Samantha, the chief executive officer of Li Ren, and Tanaka, the global special project manager of Dojo...
The decision made by any one of them is enough to affect the entire Asia-Pacific market.
But at this moment, these people who usually make powerful statements in the financial headlines all have a rare layer of anxiety and solemnity on their faces.
The sensation caused by the scar removal cream in Chu Nanyue's live broadcast room was like a precise nuclear strike, and its shock wave had already surpassed the regional market and directly hit their core interests.
The effect can no longer be simply described as "good", it is "subversive" in a brutal manner.
Redefine their understanding of the effectiveness of skin care products.
Their star product lines have been in operation for decades and built up with huge R&D and marketing expenses.
In the face of the almost magical real effects, it seems pale and powerless, and the proud patented technology and brand story are instantly eclipsed.
This is no longer a crisis that can be dealt with by conventional marketing and public relations campaigns.
Originally, they acquiesced to or even indirectly supported Hikawa Okazaka's joint pressure plan, trying to nip this sudden threat in the bud.
But at this moment, deep doubts and huge risks made the representatives of the giants present waver.
After all, the truth will come out.
Even if we can use some means to suppress it temporarily now, when the real massive user feedback comes in like a tide and forms a torrent of word-of-mouth.
The bullets fired today may very well become boomerangs that hit them accurately in the future.
This point was clear to everyone.
"Mr. Pierre, Ms. Samantha,"
Mr. Tanaka of Shido spoke slowly, "We believe that we must re-evaluate our plan to collaborate with Mr. Hikawa."
"The effects of scar cream have been witnessed by hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. Any attempt to distort this level of genuine feedback is extremely dangerous."
"We may be able to create chaos in the short term, but in the long run, if the truth cannot be completely concealed, we will lose not only market share but also the trust of global consumers in the credibility of our entire group."
"This price is too high... We cannot afford it."
"Headquarters' concerns are consistent with this."
Samantha interjected, "Richuan's plan is too radical. We prefer to seek engagement, or even... acquisition."
"No! To back down now is to give up the future!"
Pierre's voice suddenly rose. "Once its production capacity and distribution channels are expanded, the global market will be taught a lesson! The threat it poses goes beyond just one product; it shakes the very value system on which we all depend!"
Several representatives of the giants argued endlessly, and the balance gradually leaned towards abandoning the risky move of Hinakawa Okasaka and seeking a more conservative strategy.
boom!
The heavy wooden door of the club was flung open, interrupting all discussion.
Hinakawa Okasaka appeared at the door, his face as gloomy as water, and his eyes swept over the faces of every representative present.
"Gentlemen! You want to stop now? It's too late!"
"Your hesitation and cowardice are handing Jiang Xiaochuan the knife that will ultimately kill your market share!"
He strode in, ignoring everyone's unpleasant expressions, and walked straight to the main seat at the conference table. He put his hands on the table and leaned forward, forming an extremely aggressive posture.
"Do you think your huge brand equity and global reputation are amulets?"
"Ridiculous! In the face of this industry-changing product, past glories are no match for it!"
"Its rise is unstoppable! If we don't seize this opportunity to strike a fatal blow now, while it's still relatively young and its global channels haven't yet been established, once it crushes us with its irrefutable user reputation and effectiveness, your so-called brand value will only melt away faster!"
Several representatives were intimidated by his fierce momentum and naked analysis of interests, but still had doubts.
Samantha even said, "Mr. Richuan, the stakes are too high. If we are not 100% sure, we, Li Ren, have decided to withdraw."
"One hundred percent sure?"
Pierre and Tanaka looked at each other subconsciously and saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.
After decades of ups and downs in the business world, they know better than anyone that there is no business in this world that is guaranteed to make a profit, especially in such a dangerous situation.
Having lost "Liren", an ally with a century-old reputation and huge channels, the possibility of suppressing the product that emerged like a monster has undoubtedly become even slimmer.
Just as Pierre and Tanaka moved their lips and were about to follow Samantha's footsteps to express their opinions.
Hinakawa Okazaka suddenly sneered and took out an extremely small and exquisite titanium ampoule from the inner pocket of his suit.
Carefully place it on the table so that everyone can see the small amount of completely colorless and transparent liquid inside.
"I used the highest level of resources to obtain this—the Tears of Nemesis."
"It is colorless, odorless, and highly volatile. Even a tiny amount of aerosol contacting the skin can forcibly interfere with the normal metabolism of skin cells within a dozen seconds."
"It causes abnormal formation of dense, extremely realistic, permanent scar tissue from collagen and fibrous tissue!"
"You should understand what I mean!"
Hikawa Okasaka's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, which were filled with shock and suspicion, and finally fell on a young male waiter who was standing in the corner with his head bowed.
The young waiter was in his early twenties, with a handsome face and a neatly ironed blue waiter uniform, which could not hide his "invisible man" humility.
In fact, he even breathed very lightly, for fear of disturbing the meeting of important people.
"come here."
Hinakawa Okazaka ordered.
The young waiter's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and he subconsciously looked up. Under the cold gaze of Hinakawa Okazaka, he still walked forward as he was told.
"Gentlemen, theory is always pale. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you eradicate all doubts."
As Hikawa Okasaka spoke, he took out a pair of silver-gray isolation gloves from his briefcase and put them on slowly.
Then, he took out a precision dropper as thin as a hair from the side of the ampoule, gently inserted it into the stopper, and slowly absorbed a drop of "Tears of Nemesis".
"Look up and look at all the distinguished gentlemen and ladies."
Hikawa Okazaka ordered again.
The young waiter was forced to look up, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down nervously.
After he finally confirmed that Hinakawa Okazaka wanted to use him as an experiment, he staggered back.
At this moment, two assistants in black suddenly appeared and held his arms tightly.
Being held hostage by the two, even turning his neck became a luxury for him.
Hinakawa Okazaka shook his wrist slightly, and the liquid seemed to fall precisely on the young man's smooth left cheek, just below the cheekbone, on a flawless piece of skin.
"laugh……"
An extremely slight yet creepy "burning" sound was heard.
