NOVPUBChapter 692: Chapter 492: The Shaking of Guang鈥檃n Building_2 Chapter 692 -492: The Shaking of Guang鈥檃n Building_2 Like a hunter who had spotted his prey, Chu Mo鈥檚 gaze became intensely focused as he strode past a host of world-famous brands and headed directly to a cosmetics counter named Human April Company.
Chu Mo approached the counter.
Unlike his earlier nonchalant demeanor, at this moment, he was entirely engrossed and serious.
The salesgirl at Human April was a young girl about twenty-one or twenty-two.
Tall and slim, her cheeks plump with a hint of baby fat, she had a distinctive beauty that differed from those with artificially sharpened chins芒鈧€漜ommon among internet celebrities.
As a brand that had just become a worldwide sensation, Human April was indeed selling like hotcakes.
Even though it was late at night, two stylishly dressed customers were still stopping by the store.
...
Without exception, these two customers were trying the skincare product endorsed by superstar Amy Belle芒鈧€漷he 鈥淔airy Water.鈥
鈥淟adies, our product starts by nurturing the skin at its foundation, promoting skin metabolism, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate more easily into the deeper layers of the skin, laying down a good base, helping to improve the skin鈥檚 natural physiological functions, conditioning, and repairing the skin from the inside out.
Its miraculous power can improve the texture of the skin, smooth rough patches, hydrate, and make the skin more luminous day by day!鈥
The slightly chubby-faced salesgirl was passionately presenting the product to the customers, while Chu Mo, in no hurry, observed.
Human April, as his most significant recent investment, was a company Chu Mo naturally hoped would grow and expand.
In the cosmetics field, the entire market of Hua Country was worth five to six hundred billion.
For the whole industry, this share wasn鈥檛 too large, and Chu Mo鈥檚 vision had never been limited to just Hua Country芒鈧€漢e looked much further ahead.
潡堭潣凁潡答潟?co
If Human April could capture a global market share, his assets could be much more than just hundreds of billions.
After all, the world鈥檚 number one L鈥橭r脙漏al had a full one trillion in assets.
It was Chu Mo鈥檚 principle: if you鈥檙e going to do something, strive to be the best.
鈥淟adies, since our product entered Hua Country, it has stood out among many cosmetic brands with the strong endorsement of the world鈥檚 number one goddess, Amy Belle.
Due to its truly miraculous effects, it has been revered by many women.
Now, this product has sold out in many places.
If you hesitate today, there might be no stock left when you come back tomorrow.
We are not engaging in a scarcity marketing tactic here; it鈥檚 just that the product is selling so well, we鈥檙e about to run out of stock!鈥
The beautiful saleswoman continued her fervent pitch.
The two female customers hesitated for a moment芒鈧€漷he price of one thousand nine hundred ninety might indeed exceed their budget芒鈧€漛ut in the end, they gritted their teeth and each bought a bottle.
Fairy Water was the flagship product of Human April.
Thanks to its endorsement by Amy, the world鈥檚 number one goddess, and its incredible effectiveness, it had quickly dominated the market upon release.
The Human April Company, once only moderately well-known in Magic City, had now set up counters in many department stores across Hua Country.
The counter at Guang鈥檃n Building, like this one, must have been newly opened not long ago.
Perhaps because it was late, the location of the store wasn鈥檛 the best.
鈥淎re you two here to buy Fairy Water?
I鈥檓 very sorry, but those last two bottles really were the last. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
If needed, you can place an order.
Once the product arrives, I will notify you immediately.
I truly apologize!鈥
The tall saleswoman apologized with a face full of regret while Chu Mo simply waved his hand.
The entire Human April Company belonged to him; naturally, Chu Mo had no intention of making things difficult for his staff.
He glanced around the Human April counter for a moment longer before walking away.
Fang Nianhan, who had been accompanying him this whole time, could no longer contain her curiosity.
Closely following Chu Mo鈥檚 side, she softly asked:
鈥淢r.
Chu, are you planning to buy cosmetics for someone special?
If so, I can recommend a few products for you.
That Fairy Water just now is quite good, but there are even better products鈥?鈥
Fang Nianhan, with caution written all over his face, began to speak softly, but Chu Mo, who had just walked out of the store, halted his steps again.
This time, his gaze settled on a counter named Heidi Cosmetics.
Heidi Group, that was indeed the company affiliated with Xue Ling during the recent banquet.
This product was not very famous worldwide, but in the entire Hua Country, it was indeed the most well-known.
With a market value of eighty-six billion, the Heidi Group could be described as a true behemoth, reigning as a major power in Hua Country鈥檚 cosmetics industry.
For ordinary forces wishing to make a move on this company, they first had to weigh their own capabilities, not to mention, this company had the backing of Capital City鈥檚 foremost family, the Yangs of Capital City, with assets worth one thousand five hundred billion.
Of course, for Chu Mo to take action against it, there was no trouble at all芒鈧€漣t was merely a matter of spending money.
If one hundred billion wasn鈥檛 enough, then a thousand billion would be; even if the Yang family intervened, Chu Mo had ample funds to play the game with them to the very end.
鈥淲elcome to the Heidi counter, gentlemen, how may I assist you today?鈥
Whether it was Chu Mo, in his custom-tailored suit, or Fang Nianhan, radiantly dressed and exuding extraordinary aura, the two of them could be perceived from any angle as belonging to the elite class.
Together, they would be warmly welcomed by anyone, not to mention the several tall bodyguards in black suits who followed them.
Chu Mo did not pay much attention to the enthusiastically respectful counter staff.
His gaze swept over the Heidi counter.
As the top cosmetics company in Hua Country, their counter was more than twice as large as the Human April counterpart across from it, staffed by no fewer than four employees even at this time of low nighttime customer traffic.
Surely, there would be even more sales ladies during the daytime hours when customer flow was greater.
Of course, even though Chu Mo was preparing to suppress the Heidi Group, he had not stooped to troubling a few sales ladies.
The reason for his visit was mere curiosity, nothing more.
After all, the Heidi Group had hundreds to thousands of counters throughout Hua Country; even if Chu Mo smashed this particular counter, it would hardly be significant for the Heidi Group芒鈧€漚 trivial matter.
After giving the counter one final glance, he suddenly turned his attention to Fang Nianhan beside him, who wore an expression of surprise.
His lips curled slightly, and with a hint of amusement, Chu Mo casually said:
鈥淚鈥檓 not interested in cosmetics; I just want to take a look at this company.
Within a week, I鈥檒l acquire the building we鈥檙e standing on芒鈧€滸uang鈥檃n Building.
Within half a month, I鈥檒l force the Heidi Group to close its doors鈥?鈥
With those words, he said no more and turned towards the elevator across the way.
Having already made such a bold declaration, Chu Mo would naturally not merely talk the talk.
The Heidi Group was his next target and would also be the next battleground in his confrontation with the eight great families.
Amidst the confused stares of several sales ladies, Chu Mo left the cosmetics area unhurriedly, with Fang Nianhan鈥檚 eyes widening in curiosity.
Seeing that Chu Mo had already walked a fair distance, she promptly hurried after him.
Once she caught up to Chu Mo, Miss Fang, with a hint of perplexity and curiosity, gently inquired:
鈥淧resident Chu, may I ask if you鈥檙e planning to buy Guang鈥檃n Building and then remove Heidi鈥檚 counter from it?鈥
Fang Nianhan was well aware of the scale of the Heidi Group, a colossal entity worth nearly a hundred billion, definitely not something that could be easily shaken.
Just when she thought Chu Mo would nod in affirmation, he instead narrowed his eyes slightly, and the young man鈥檚 demeanor turned very focused as he gravely said:
鈥淗ow could a mere cosmetics counter catch my eye?
What I want is the complete downfall of the Heidi Group.
Within a month, at most, I will have Xue Ling, the chairman of the Heidi Group, groveling at my feet!鈥
His indifferent words echoed in her ears, and in that moment, Fang Nianhan鈥檚 mind conjured the image of Xue Ling, chairwoman of Heidi.
The woman worth eighty billion, whom she could only ever observe from afar.
What a sight it would be when she, like a menial servant, groveled on the ground.
