As night fell, in a luxurious restaurant in Magic City.
"Young Master Lin is truly talented and exceptionally generous!"
"I represent the entire Lan Family in expressing our gratitude."
"Here's a toast to you!"
A middle-aged man with a protruding belly spoke with a fawning expression.
He was Lan Yongxin, the spokesperson for the second-tier Lan Family in Magic City.
He held an extremely important position in the Lan Family.
Just like the Yang Family.
The Lan Family was also in the beauty products business.
Simply put, this industry had high profit margins and plenty of dollars to be made.
The Yang Family dominated the mainstream market.
Their Lan Family followed behind, picking up the scraps.
They had long dominated the domestic second-tier skincare market.
"Great, cheers!"
Lin Fan laughed heartily, raising his wine glass.
Clink------
The wine glasses collided with a crisp sound.
As for all this flattery.
Lin Fan found it quite enjoyable.
"How quickly can your Lan Family produce the first batch of skincare products?"
He asked, narrowing his eyes.
Lan Yongxin smiled, "Young Master Lin, are you in need of money? Our Lan Family can pay you in advance..."
"This isn't about money," Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively.
That bitch Yang Jingying.
Playing all high and mighty?
If you, Yang Jingying, won't do this highly profitable business.
There are plenty who will.
Those who want to do business with him, the Dragon King.
No exaggeration.
The line stretches from here to France.
All scrambling over each other.
He had traveled all the way to the Yang Family with the exclusive formula stolen from his master.
Not only would he only get thirty percent.
He'd have to put up with Yang Jingying's attitude.
Isn't that bullying an honest dragon?
Whoever wants to take that crap can have it.
But Lin Fan certainly won't.
Therefore, he wanted to quickly produce a viral skincare product.
To slap that woman Yang Jingying in the face.
Lan Yongxin's expression turned serious, and after thinking, he said,
"One week!"
Launching a new skincare product within seven days.
Was undoubtedly an extremely difficult task!
After all, creating something from nothing.
Having the formula wasn't enough.
The factory needed investment to get fully operational.
They needed to find celebrities for advance advertising and promotion.
Plus safety department testing and various other messy matters.
So launching within a week would be miraculous.
"Too slow," Lin Fan shook his head after hearing this.
Lan Yongxin secretly wanted to curse.
This is too fucking slow?
Why don't you just ask for our lives while you're at it.
Just giving us twenty percent cut.
Really treating us like dogs to command?
"Ma Qun!"
"Yes!"
"Have your Ma Family help out too. Maximize the available liquid capital, and utilize all your family's resources to fully support the Lan Family."
"Yes."
Ma Qun nodded without hesitation.
Lan Yongxin swallowed hard.
His small eyes rolled around.
"Master Ma, how much liquid capital can your family provide? Give me a baseline so I can estimate the timeline for the skincare product launch."
Ma Qun held up two fingers and said calmly, "Twenty billion!"
Got money?
With money, things become much easier.
Lan Yongxin's eyes grew wide - with money and the Ma Family's help.
Things would be much easier!
"How many days?" Lin Fan smiled.
Lan Yongxin held up four fingers, saw Lin Fan's suddenly furrowed brow, and put one finger down.
"Three days! Three days! We'll definitely get it done in three days!"
Lin Fan finally nodded in satisfaction, "That twenty billion in liquid capital is calculated separately, as an investment, okay?"
"After all, it's not my money."
Lan Yongxin smiled on the surface while cursing in his heart.
"Haha... I understand the rules, I understand!"
"When we make money, we'll return that twenty billion in full!"
"And of course, you two will get your share."
Nobody wants to be at odds with money.
Lan Yongxin was no different.
He wanted to use this excellent opportunity.
To propel the Lan Family's skincare products into the first-tier market.
Helping Lin Fan.
Was also helping himself.
Although Lin Fan was taking the lion's share of the money.
Lan Yongxin didn't mind.
As long as they could compete somewhat with the Yang Family.
This small loss was insignificant.
Lin Fan laughed satisfactorily, "Ma Qun, you heard what Director Lan said?"
Ma Qun nodded.
Lin Fan raised his wine glass.
"I'd like to toast to both of you, wishing you success in advance!"
"Haha... with Young Master Lin's words, this will definitely succeed!"
Lan Yongxin said proudly.
Ma Qun added some more flattery.
Then the three raised their glasses and drank.
Meanwhile.
At the Yang Family CBD building, the lights were still on in the R&D department.
"President Yang, let me personally test the effects."
A female researcher said excitedly.
At this moment, everyone in the department turned their attention.
To a box containing a black skincare product.
It was black and very viscous, and if you leaned in close.
You could smell a faint fragrance.
This was the volcanic mud skincare product that the R&D department had spent.
Almost an entire afternoon preparing!
According to the contents of the parchment, the preparation was very simple.
But various tests took considerable time.
They checked repeatedly several times.
To confirm there were no harmful ingredients for the skin.
Only then did Yang Jingying let them stop.
"Go ahead," Yang Jingying agreed.
The female researcher then used makeup remover to wipe off her light makeup.
Revealing her bare face.
She had several small pimples on her forehead.
And mild closed comedones on her face.
All skincare products on the market, including the Yang Family's.
Would cause some damage to the skin after use.
Just to varying degrees.
But this volcanic mud skincare product.
Was incredibly impressive.
Not a trace of harmful substances.
However, the most crucial point was how effective it would be in practice.
Soon after.
Under everyone's gaze.
The female researcher applied the volcanic mud to her face.
It didn't look like much.
But the experience was very comfortable.
Where it was applied felt cool and refreshing.
Compare it to a lower-quality version of essential balm.
Without that intense stimulating sensation.
The female researcher described her experience.
Someone beside her recorded it on a tablet.
Yang Jingying was also paying attention to everything.
Her heart was racing at this moment.
Her breathing slightly rapid!
Following the parchment's instructions, they waited quietly for fifteen minutes, then rinsed with clean water.
When the female researcher cleaned her face.
A magical thing happened.
Her entire face was renewed.
Those few pimples were gone, and more incredibly, they didn't even leave marks.
Not only that, but the closed comedones were also gone.
Her skin had become fairer and more delicate.
The results were extraordinarily good!
Clap clap--------
Someone started the applause.
The whole department erupted in waves of enthusiastic applause.
And excited cheers from the researchers.
In their lifetime.
Developing a high-quality skincare product was their lifelong dream.
Now it had come true.
Happiness came too quickly, like a tornado, leaving no time to think, no time to escape.
This achievement hit them all like a bolt from the blue.
Yang Jingying's mouth hung wide open, as if in a dream.
It seemed somewhat unreal.
This gift from Xu Mo.
Was... too grand, wasn't it?
