Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Frankly speaking, Lu Siyue now represents Mr. Chu from Modu as his spokesperson. Since she is one of our own, Chu Mo naturally wouldn't allow anyone to harm a hair on her head.

Chu Mo, holding a wine glass and moving at a leisurely pace, made his way through the crowd. He would occasionally stop to exchange a few words or nod in greeting to an acquaintance. Shortly thereafter, once he reached the corner opposite the banquet hall, Chu Mo didn't speak up but stopped about one or two meters away from them.

He then overheard that strikingly beautiful woman named Xue Ling, speaking with a tone full of arrogance!

"... The cosmetics industry has been one of the few to see rapid growth in recent years. According to our survey, last year the entire cosmetics market size in Hua Country amounted to 577.7 billion RMB, with an accelerated growth of 13.8% year over year.

Over the long run, the compound growth rate of the cosmetics industry is expected to remain above 10%, and the per capita consumption levels are also set to steadily rise. The market is vast, vast enough that no individual can dominate it. Our company, Heidi, with over a decade of experience, be it market connections or consumer base, is far beyond what others can compare to.

I'll share a figure with you, President Lu. Last quarter, our company achieved a revenue of 1.714 billion RMB, a year-over-year increase of 15.51%; the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 463 million RMB, a year-over-year increase of 14.7%.

Though your company, Human April, has developed rapidly, its foundations are not stable, and the customers' impression of you is merely that of Amy Belle. Once this wave of popularity subsides, it will inevitably decline. If President Lu's vision is long enough, joining us at Heidi Company now, I assure you that you'd return fully loaded...!"

The woman named Xue Ling wore an extremely delicate makeup, and she should be older than forty, with the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes inevitably showing through despite attempts to conceal them.

The other party had light red wavy hair, seemed slightly overweight in a purple gown, and the diamond necklace around her neck was very striking, even more eye-catching than the Heart of the Ocean.

Chu Mo looked at her ceaseless, flamboyant red lips and immediately didn't have a very favorable first impression of her.

While the other party continued to speak, the appearance of Chu Mo made the previously expressionless Lu Siyue obviously notice his presence. Her eyes immediately sparkled with a dazzling light as she promptly interrupted the other woman's speech and walked over to Chu Mo.

"President Chu, I was just thinking of coming over to greet you, but seeing that you were surrounded by many people, I didn't come over... Oh, let me introduce to you, this is President Xue of Heidi Cosmetics Company!

This is President Gu Meng of Ouya Cosmetics Company, and this is...!"

Lu Siyue introduced Chu Mo to a few leading figures. Once he knew they were the head honchos of various cosmetics companies, he roughly guessed their intentions.

The entire cosmetics market size in Hua Country was only about five or six hundred billion RMB. Despite incredibly rapid annual growth, the intense competition among so many cosmetics companies was inevitable.

Originally, April Company was just a small business with a market value of only two billion RMB, barely known within the Modu area, and thus completely insignificant in the eyes of these top-tier magnates.

However, now, in just a mere one or two months' time, along with the successful hosting of the world's First Goddess competition and the world's number one, Amy Belle, becoming the spokesperson for April Company, the entire company had changed beyond recognition. In just a month, the market value went from the original two billion RMB to over twenty billion RMB now.

Moreover, with Chu Mo's continuous investments, April Company was still developing at a terrifyingly rapid pace.

If left unchecked, in a year, or maybe even half a year, April Company's market value would break through fifty billion, or even one hundred billion RMB.

The total cosmetic market in Hua Country was just a mere five or six hundred billion RMB. A newcomer like Lu Siyue taking such a big slice of the cake right off the bat naturally touched on the fundamental interests of those established brands, so being targeted was inevitable.

After Lu Siyue introduced the individuals before her, she shifted the conversation and said with utmost solemnity:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Chu Mo, the renowned figure of Magic Capital. His assets include the Bafang International Chain Hotel, Shiyuan Entertainment Company, the three tallest buildings in Magic Capital, and the tallest building in Capital City. Human April Company is an investment of Mr. Chu Mo's. If you wish to persuade me to join you, you might as well speak directly to Mr.

Chu Mo! Although I am the chairman of April Company, some major decisions still have to be made by Mr. Chu Mo."

As Lu Siyue finished speaking, the presidents and directors in front of her fell silent. They could flaunt their power and entice or threaten the newcomer Lu Siyue, but when faced with Mr. Chu Mo from Magic Capital, who could ruin people with just a word, they truly hadn't prepared themselves for an outright confrontation.

Chu Mo looked at the group of top-notch wealthy women in front of him. These women almost controlled over half of the cosmetics business in Hua Country. To not mention the others, just the curly-haired lady leading them controlled resources worth over eighty billion RMB.

The recently introduced Gu Meng from Heidi Cosmetics Company also had assets worth fifty billion RMB. As for the others, although their assets were slightly smaller, some had thirty billion and some held twenty billion. Each person might not seem notable on their own, but together, their total assets had already surpassed three hundred billion RMB!

With Chu Mo's strategy, no matter which field he entered, his investment would not be less than one hundred billion. In other areas, this might not be very visible, but in the cosmetics field, this would almost be one-fifth of the market share in Hua Country, which meant he was inevitably impacting the interests of most people here.

Chu Mo glanced at Lu Siyue beside him, who looked completely at ease, and couldn't help but give a wry smile and shake his head.

Originally, the matters here should have been handled by Lu Siyue herself as the spokesperson. Whether it was facing suppression from these people or being ostracized, these were all within the scope of her duties as the spokesperson and required her to deal with them herself.

However, it was clear that Lu Siyue was not yet prepared to take such initiative. When she encountered difficulty, she immediately pushed Chu Mo, the big boss, forward as a shield, adopting a stance of complete detachment.

Had it been any other spokesperson who dared to do this, Chu Mo would certainly have taken them to task, maybe even considering replacing them. However, facing Lu Siyue, the young Miss of the Lu family, and considering the relationship with the Lu family of Magic Capital, Chu Mo could only put aside his dissatisfaction.

Lu Siyue was irreplaceable, or else his initial investments would be wasted, and he would offend the Lu family, which would be a total loss.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo now had no choice but to dismiss the group of people in front of him.

"Mr. Chu, I wonder if you have considered that the April Company's brand is too singular, and until now, the only noteworthy product is the 'Fairy Water.' The rest of the products are rather average. The singularity of the brand will reduce customers' options as well as the company's competitiveness.

Perhaps for a short time, the influence of the big star Amy Belle can drive sales, but once this wave of enthusiasm subsides, various shortcomings will certainly emerge. I wonder what you have planned to address this issue, Mr. Chu."

The speaker was still Xue Ling, the chairman of Heidi Cosmetics. This woman with her long, curly hair likely represented the group; her net worth was the most substantial, her influence the greatest. Similarly, once April Company rose to prominence, her position would be challenged.

Chu Mo looked at the flamboyantly made-up woman in front of him. Without saying too much, this woman, though somewhat arrogant, did have certain insights. Not surprisingly, as the leader of the cosmetics field in Hua Country, this woman certainly had her ways.

To secure a foothold for April Company in the cosmetics industry and to fully establish Lu Siyue as the spokesperson, Chu Mo knew he needed to make these people submit completely tonight.

Otherwise, the future development of April Company would inevitably be hindered by these individuals.

After taking a deep breath, Chu Mo's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly. His previously calm expression was instantly replaced by a serious one. In that moment, an unnoticeable aura of authority naturally emanated from him.

His gaze was fixed on the flamboyant lady leading the group. As the saying goes, to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, Chu Mo intended to make an example out of this woman first!
