Chapter 699: The Revitalization Series Officially on Sale (Part One)

Huaxia

Shangcheng

Lin Dong was eating at the dining table at his home.

A housemaid was placing food onto the table when Lin Hu came back, looking tired.

He walked over to the dining table and saw his parents looking at his online store on the computer, so he smiled and asked, Mom and dad, are you guys not eating dinner?

Lin Han waved his hands. You two eat first, were busy.

Lin Hu: Busy with what?

Mother Lin: The Mandala Labs Revitalization series was just officially released for sale across the globe. Your father and I used our savings to sign a wholesale contract with Little Dong at the purchase price, and we used up all of our savings at once; how can we not be worried?

Lin Hu smacked his lips.You guys are too risky, dont you think? Thats for your retirement savings. What if it doesnt generate any revenue? The cosmetic market is very deep and not easy to get into.

Having said that, he looked at Lin Dong disapprovingly and said, You know that our family has no money, yet you still used Mom and Dads money to fill in the gap.

Dont worry, if they cant sell it, they can return it to the company, and Ill take it. If we cant sell it in Huaxia, then we can take it to other global markets to fill the need. Its all the same. Lin Dong smiled and said, Mom and Dad, theres no need to look. Come over for dinner. Didnt you hire people to look after the operation of the online store? What else are you afraid of.

Father Lin: Im optimistic about your companys cosmetics, I have a feeling that it will become a hit.

Lin Dong: Youre the wise one dad.

Father Lin walked over with a smile and stared at his youngest son as he asked with a smile, Little Dong, I dont know about anything else, but in terms of appointing us as the unofficial store selling this product, wont your master be mad at you?

Lin Dong said, We keep the good things within the group. You could repay the franchise operation fee when you earn enough, and its understandable that you have no money right now.

Father Lin asked, Then how much should I pay for this franchise operation fee?

Lin Dong: 500 million a year for the online stores.

Poof!

Lin Hu spewed out a mouthful of soup. Your company is screwing people around, right?

Lin Han nodded. This price is indeed within an acceptable range, there must be a limit to number of operators, right?

Lin Dong: Thats for sure, the price wouldnt be so high if there was no limit.

Lin Hus eyes widened. Dad, how are you going to earn this 500 million later on to fill in the gap? This 500 million is enough for me to get another project started.

Chapter 699: The Revitalization Series Officially on Sale (Part Two)

Although Im an old man, youre still a bit too young for business. Lin Han snorted and looked at his youngest son Lin Dong. Little Dong, how many limited spots were there in Huaxia?

Lin Dong: We signed off some operation rights in developed cities, so about fifteen in total and, its 300 million per year for each. However, the fee for online stores is higher; ACat and Dongdong, these two online operators, have to pay 1 billion in the first year. So I could only let Mom and Dad open a store through Taobao. However, since we have the official license notice, you also count as an official store and 500 million is considered way too little. This must be kept as a secret and you and mom must not tell anyone about it.

Sh*t, theyve collected 4.5 billion at the very beginning? No, with the online operating fee, its 6.5 billion in the first year!

Lin Hu didnt know whether he was swallowing soup or his saliva, but he was particularly greedy in this opportunity. He had underestimated how Lin Dongs Mandala Labs project turned out to be. He had researched about their products, and they were all too expensive!

It was so expensive that it was hard for consumers to purchase it. With his insight, he was afraid that the Revitalization series by Mandala would fail to make any sales.

Little Dong, whats the purchase price you gave Dad?

Obviously according to the market, I cant mess around with that, can I? The purchase price must be the same price for all licensed operators. The gold bottle has a $1,288 market price, so the purchase price was $1,200, with a profit of 88 US dollars; platinum is $29,888 market price, and purchase price is $29,000 with a profit 888 US dollars; while diamond bottles have a profit of $8,888.

Lin Hu shook his head. This profit is too little. This principal is there already and if it doesnt sell well, the profit earned wont even be enough for keeping it in the inventory. If more than a third of the goods doesnt sell, then the profit would simply be not enough to add up to the operation fee.

Lin Dong laughed and didnt take Lin Hus advice seriously as he continued to eat his dinner.

Father Lin glared at his eldest son. So according to you, those who would rather spend 10 billion on the licensing operating fee are fools? Youre missing the most important point about this product, and thats efficacy! The Revitalization series can be said that they have a leading technology around the globe in dermatology. Its hack-level technology and if youre unsatisfied with the price right now, you should do some research on how much rich women spend in the beauty salon per year for their face and body. And those are all lies, just ask your mother.

Mother Lin turned her head at this time and said, Those annual membership fees alone cost $10K! And thats not including the facial or oil massages, those cost tens of thousands of dollars per month, which would be hundreds of thousands per year. However, those are all temporary and not effective in the long term; all it does is to make us look more spirited. If we do it for a long time, then even the pores become enlarged and the face starts to look stiff with an unnatural smile like a zombie face. Ive asked my friends in the beauty salon, this Revitalization series is a must-have product in all the beauty salons. Think about that, a high-end club would not be considered as high-end if it doesnt have the Revitalization series in stock. How many beauty salons are there in Huaxia? Just by supplying these stores, the amount of supply Mandala has really wouldnt be enough for the market demand.

Lin Hu couldnt defend his point, but he stayed in his position. Youll see. The price is there, I dont think that all women are crazy are they?

Mother Lin laughed. Thats why you are not a woman, and you dont understand the needs of women. International luxury brands like Chanel and Hermes, which one of their products dont cost more than the Revitalization series? Yet, they can still sell them. Anyways, I wont convince you, the sale time is almost here and I need to connect with the store to see whats going on.

Mother Lin ran over to the computer and put on headphones as she called her shop assistant to ask about the situation.

At 10 Oclock on the dot, all the online stores opened for sales at the same time, and there were only a total of three websites where the products could be purchased; two major domestic retailers and a privately owned store in Taobao.

As soon as ten oclock hit, Mother Lin refreshed the number of a hundred thousand bottles stocks of the gold bottle on the website. A minute later, the data became: 84,591 bottles remaining in stock.

After two more minutes had passed, the number jumped to 71,188 bottles.

Mother Lins body shook out of excitement.

Old Lin, come here quickly.

Lin Han held his bowl and chopsticks as he couldnt care less about his image and left the table to look at the sales amount after just 7 minutes: 53,338 bottles remaining.

Lin Hans body shook.

This was even more exciting and thrilling than when he had opened his factory and got his first bucket of gold in his life from his first order. He felt that this project could give him a second chance.

Were earning! We could easily make up the 300 million for this year. Lin Han grinned.

Mother Lin nodded.

Lin Hu saw how excited his parents were and he couldnt eat at his own pace anymore as he held his bowl and walked over as well. Mom, hows the sales going?
