NOVPUBChapter 917: Chapter 603: Six Hundred Billion Super Group_2 Chapter 917 -603: Six Hundred Billion Super Group_2 Right across from the tallest skyscraper in Magic City and its financial center stood a brand new ninety-five-story building芒鈧€漣t was the headquarters of Human April Company.
The building was acquired by Lu Siyue with a hefty sum of 16.5 billion and ranked as the ninth tallest structure in Magic City.
Situated right at the heart of Lujiazui, it boasted one of the most prestigious locations, both in geographical prominence and towering height.
The skyscraper was divided into different sections, with the R&D department alone occupying five floors.
As a successor of the new era, Lu Siyue placed great importance on the development of new products.
Even when the company was still in its fledgling stage, she boldly invested two billion and dedicated two years to the research of a 鈥渕iracle water.鈥
Now, with abundant funds and plentiful staff, she naturally poured more manpower and resources into new product development.
The R&D department of Human April Company had the largest staff and received the best treatment.
...
The core research personnel in R&D alone reached over a hundred芒鈧€漷hese were all top-tier talents in the industry, enjoying compensation far exceeding the industry average.
鈥淐hairwoman, Mr.
Steve, the head of Chanel鈥檚 headquarters, has requested to meet with you.
He is the right-hand man of the luxury goods godfather Edward, and a veteran figure within Chanel.
It鈥檚 fair to say that except for Edward, Steve has everything within Chanel under his control.
Holding significant power and influence, his visit, especially from France, likely indicates troubling intentions towards our European layout,鈥 reported Xue Ling, once the Chairwoman of the Heidi Group, now standing respectfully at the door of the office on the ninety-fifth floor.
潡堭潣凁潣潡?co
Xue Ling, who used to be the Chairwoman of the Heidi Group, used to be backed by one of the eight great families in Capital City, the Yang family, making her a highly influential figure.
However, her prominence was challenged as Human April quickly rose and took over her market share.
As a leader in the cosmetics field, the Heidi Group had initiated a clampdown on Human April.
But this time, she had clearly provoked the wrong adversary.
Even though she had the support of the Yang family of Capital City, it paled in comparison to Chu Mo鈥檚 backing of Human April.
With Chu Mo鈥檚 unlimited financial support, Human April not only withstood the suppression from the Heidi Group but also forced the Yang family to make concessions.
Naturally, the Heidi Group became a casualty in their battle, and after being abandoned by the Yang family, it was eventually absorbed into Human April Company.
Xue Ling, once a commanding chairwoman, plummeted to an underestimated low, ending up as Lu Siyue鈥檚 secretary and part-time advisor.
Originally, Xue Ling thought she would be humiliated like a tiger that had fallen to the plains, but now, as Human April acquired two of the top luxury brands and its company value skyrocketed to an intimidating 600 billion, she underwent a remarkable transformation.
Her once inconsequential role morphed into one of the top three real power holders of Human April Cosmetics Company. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Xue Ling had the ability to build the Heidi Group into a leading cosmetics company from scratch, showcasing her incredible skills and expertise芒鈧€漞ven without the Yang family鈥檚 support behind her.
However, her defeat came at the hands of Chu Mo芒鈧€漚n opponent with an 鈥渦nlimited credit card鈥 rendering his presence almost like a cheat in the game.
This didn鈥檛 imply she lacked vision; it was simply a twist of fate.
In fact, compared with Lu Siyue of the Lu family lineage in terms of experience and foresight, Xue Ling was far superior.
It was precisely because of this understanding that Lu Siyue entrusted Xue Ling with the role of her advisor.
Now, many of the company鈥檚 resolutions and development discussions were the product of mutual consultation between Lu Siyue and Xue Ling.
Lu Siyue鈥檚 life experience was relatively shallow, failing to see the depth of many issues.
With Xue Ling鈥檚 assistance, the company鈥檚 development actually became much smoother.
Xue Ling, who had been relegated from a high-profile chairwoman to a chairwoman鈥檚 secretary, should have encountered a nadir in her life.
Yet, with the rapid growth of Human April Company, her status not only didn鈥檛 diminish but actually rose even higher than before.
For instance, as chairwoman of the Heidi Group, she would never have had the chance to meet the heads of Chanel or Herm脙篓s.
Furthermore, with her identity back then, she might have been revered within Hua Country, but once outside its borders, she was virtually unrecognized.
Now, as Human April entered the international market, every decision she made affected the future of a brand.
A single transaction could involve hundreds of billions, elevating her authority beyond what it was before.
The sole difference was, previously she may have appeared gloriously supreme, but she was ultimately subordinate to the Yang family of Capital City.
Today, although seemingly reliant on others, her decisions and judgments could influence Chairwoman Lu Siyue, who in turn held her in high regard.
Simply put, her vision was once limited to the small sphere of Hua Country, but now, her focus was on the markets of Europe and America, or the international stage, where her rivals were no longer the minor companies within Hua Country but the world鈥檚 top corporations.
As Xue Ling grappled with her complex emotions, Lu Siyue finally finished reviewing the document in her hand.
She swiftly signed her name on the contract, tidied up a pile of papers in front of her, took a gentle breath, and then the once humble woman, whose status was no longer what it used to be, spoke:
