Chapter 591: Exchange of Interests
"Mr. Chu, I think Human April Cosmetics Company wanting to break into the international market involves more than just collaborating with well-known luxury brands. It's best to have its own unique brand.",
"The only standout product Human April Company currently has is the 'Fairy Skin Tonic', which has gained some influence in Hua Country solely because the world's foremost goddess, Amy, endorsed it. Globally, however, it is at best a first-tier luxury product and still a notch below brands like Chanel.",
"Britain's Jewelry Queen, Princess Mina Gong, offered her opinion. As a beauty-loving woman, Princess Mina Gong has a profound understanding of all top-tier cosmetics on the market. Among those seated here, she knows more about Fairy Skin Tonic than Chu Mo, the elusive major shareholder behind the scenes.",
"It's precisely because she frequently uses it that Mina Gong knows Fairy Skin Tonic well and has also heard of Chu Mo's Human April.",
"Noticing Chu Mo looking at her, Princess Mina Gong straightened her body slightly and slowly said,",
"Mr. Chu, Human April's main activities are still focused in Hua Country. According to the general standards of corporate development, at this stage, it is better not to aim too high. It should first consolidate its position step by step in the Huaguo Cosmetics Market, capture a significant share, and accumulate adequate experience. Then it can gradually expand into the Southeast Asian market, and slowly penetrate Europe and the Americas to achieve a global layout.",
"The serious-looking Princess Mina Gong had a deep relationship with Chu Mo, the Jewelry Queen. Their relationship was not just limited to business cooperation; they also greatly assisted each other.",
"Both Chu Mo and Mina wanted each other to succeed greatly and improve because it was crucial for both of them.",
"Hence, her advice was genuinely in Chu Mo's best interests. However, her information might be outdated. Human April's acquisition of the Aoya Group was a recent event that had caused quite a stir in the Huaguo Cosmetics Market, but the news might not have reached international markets yet. Thus, Princess Mina Gong was unaware that Human April had now become a leader in the Huaguo Cosmetics Market, with terrifying assets exceeding a hundred billion US dollars.",
"After absorbing shares from the Oya Group, Human April commanded thirty percent of the entire Huaguo Cosmetics Market, a feat that could be described as reaching the pinnacle. For future development, focusing on overseas markets and venturing into the international sphere was inevitable.",
"Chu Mo knew Princess Mina Gong meant well. He nodded with a smile and then turned his gaze to Edward beside him, speaking in an even tone,",
"Mr. Edward, do you think our Human April Company has the capacity to enter the international market?",
"As a godfather of luxury goods, although Edward had not been involved much in business affairs in recent years due to health reasons, his keen observational skills as an outstanding businessman were still present.",
"At this moment, Edward was gently savoring the Gold Dragon Fish in front of him. After a while, he scooped up half a bowl of fish soup for himself, savoring the delicious taste that filled his taste buds, visibly enjoying himself as he slightly squinted. Then, as if it were of no concern, Edward casually spoke,",
"Mr. Chu's appetite certainly doesn't stop at a small cosmetics company. Since Mr. Chu is intent on expanding the company and venturing into the international market is a decided move. Although the world is vast, honestly, the global market share is just as it is. If Mr. Chu takes a step forward, someone has to step back. How about this, Mr. Chu, if you are interested, give three hundred billion and take Hermès. Then, give me a Longevity Club SSS-level membership to play around with.",
"Of course, I mean in US dollars!"
"Edward's expression was calm, as if he were casually buying a kilogram of cucumbers and vegetables at a market, without any hesitation in his demeanor.",
"Yet, what he referred to was Hermès, the world's second-ranked luxury brand.",
"The funds involved were as high as two hundred billion. As for the SSS-level membership of the Longevity Club, it was beyond monetary measurement.",
"Given the current circumstances, even a minor A-level membership in the Longevity Club would require immense networking, challenging Hua Country's eight major families, whose combined assets exceeded a trillion US dollars. Thus, the networking and assets involved in an A-level membership were on the scale of a trillion. As for the three-tier higher SSS-level membership, it was beyond monetary assessment.",
"At this moment, Chu Mo did not immediately agree but was weighing the pros and cons.",
"Two hundred billion to acquire the world-class luxury brand Hermès was actually not expensive. After all, Hermès was luxury among luxuries, ranked higher than Chanel and second globally, just behind Louis Vuitton. Chanel was fourth, and in terms of market value, Hermès was worth more than twice that of Chanel.",
"If Chu Mo could take over Hermès, his march into the international market would be smooth sailing without any obstacles.",
"Moreover, by then, Human April would transition from a small Huaguo brand to a globally famous top-tier brand, with a company market value exceeding three hundred fifty billion dollars, emerging as a rising star in the cosmetics field."
