Chapter 1285 Survival in a desperate situation
"Then why not inform me now?"
At this time, James's voice was like a lion roaring. His body was covered with a gold of red flame, making his body, which was like a mountain and the momentum of a beast, even more breathtaking.
The temperature in the office rose sharply, and the fire sprinkler on the ceiling suddenly spewed out countless water. After contacting James' golden flame, steam suddenly overflowed.
Atwood had long expected this result, and his voice was harsh: "I only knew this result today. The companies that first left our sales system were either located in the surrounding areas of Guangcheng Star Domain or had close commercial connections with Weiyan Group. Therefore, the people below thought this was Weiyan Group and rely on their influence to expand sales channels. Until yesterday, when Dongtang Department Store, Camilla Pharmaceutical Cosmetics Chain and Weiyangtang Department Store sent a notice letter at the same time, they felt that it was important."
"So I have a reason to chop these incompetent guys and feed them to the dog, right?"
When James said this, he remembered that the company's specific operations were under the responsibility of his son Stoke Fox.
His heart palpitations and he took back the golden flames around him and returned to his chair.
"Give me all the information we have collected about Alpha Pharmaceutical and the Riyuetang series of products!"
"Yes! I've done a summary before coming here. Just"
Atwood glanced at the messy surroundings: "Is it here?"
"Where can you be there if you are not here? Speed!"
James knocked on the table with an impatient look: "Which environment is still in mind at this time? I am more worried about my anger later, and it will make other places mess up."
Atwood was speechless for a moment and could only silently transfer a document up to 724 g to his employer.
After receiving the latter, he only looked at a few pages, and the golden flames around him were rekindled.
As time went by, his face became increasingly ugly. In the end, all the blood was faded away. All the golden flames around him were extinguished, and the skin exposed outside his clothes suddenly became a layer of goose bumps.
"This is"
When James spoke again, his eyes were already dead: "In three days, I expect that the daily sales of hair-growing water alone will reach 30 million bottles? Are you kidding me?"
"Yes sir!"
Atwood's voice is astringent, with a sense of despair: "This hair growth water is very effective and is common to both men and women. Whether it is symptoms of postpartum hair loss, hair loss caused by oily hair, or even hereditary baldness, it has a very good effect. It is effective quickly, and it can often be felt intuitively within ten days. It is a rare pharmaceutical cosmetic product that does not involve genetically speaking. It is expected that if Alpha Pharmaceutical's channels in various parts of the Earth Federation are fully opened, its daily sales should be about 100 million to 120 million bottles. Their prices are very cheap, but the bottle is very small, and it is only enough for four months at most, and it cannot be completely cured."
James continued to flip through the information: "In other words, our other channel dealers have been shaken across the board, right? Have you consulted these companies to try to recover? As long as our products are not excluded from the shipment price, then it is not unacceptable for us, Red Hu Pharmaceutical Cosmetics to make substantial concessions or even lower the price."
“I’ve tried it!”
Atwood still said weakly: "Our concession of up to 5% of the profits was not even a little tempted. Obviously, the only billions of federal coins we paid cannot compare with the profits that Riyuetang products might bring to them. Unless we take more chips, Honghu Pharmaceutical's annual profit this year is only about 40 billion. In addition, this is not just a matter of money. Alpha Pharmaceutical's drug cosmetics can not only make them profit, but also attract a lot of popularity and customers for them, which we cannot do. To sum up, Riyuetang's drug cosmetics are irreplaceable for the time being, but our Honghu Pharmaceutical's products are good, especially for those department stores. As for price reduction, the chairman can do temporary promotion activities. But once we set off a full-scale price war, the entire drug cosmetics industry will become our enemy."
James's eyebrows have already created a Sichuan character: "So Wood, how many channel dealers do you think we can save? Will we still maintain profits in the future?"
“The situation is not optimistic now!”
Atwood shook his head: "We are still investigating the situation of various channel dealers, and it may not take a day to get results. However, I estimate that less than 30% of the last one will be retained, and most of them are small and medium-sized retailers around the New Arizona Star Domain. In addition, this is our own channel. As for profit, I think you'd better make the worst plan. If there is a cliff-like sales drop in our retail terminals in a month, then the financial statements of Honghu Pharmaceutical Cosmetics will definitely have a deficit. Although we still have a cash reserve of about 24 billion federal coins now,"
As soon as he said this, a crisp crack sound came from the office. First, the desk in front of James suddenly shattered, and then a large number of cracks appeared on the ground, spreading to all sides.
"But this money can't even support us for three months, right?"
James was trying hard to restrain his emotions. He could imagine what consequences they would face in the future once they had continued losses for more than three months.
The stock price plummeted, insolvent, major banks put pressure on loans, suppliers urged for debts, etc., will happen one by one.
What's worse is that they are still fighting a huge secret war with the Magnificent Group.
"So what does our research department say, can we launch a copy of the product as soon as possible?"
"If it's just a simple imitation, it only takes four months. But if it's a product that can be released, we have to bypass patents. With the annual investment of 5 billion federal R&D funds, it is 30% possible to develop similar cosmetics within 3 to 5 years."
Atwood sighed again: "This means that our company will have to face a cold winter period of at least three years."
James was not discouraged and continued: "It's barely acceptable in four months. I allow you to use a secret fund to prepare several cosmetic production lines in the Xindulan Star Domain."
Since you cannot defeat your opponent on the front battlefield, the same is true for the means under the table.
The Xindulan Star Domain is a new colonial star domain and the source of many counterfeit products, which has made many federal companies deeply understand the evil.
"But their pricing is already very low."
Atwood shook his head, obviously not optimistic about James Fox's plan: "I think there are not many smuggling ships who are willing to do such business. The profits are too small and they have to face the crazy blow of the National Tax Anti-smuggling Fleet. Sir, don't forget that if we want to carry out large-scale production, then the cost of our raw materials will definitely be much higher than that of them."
