On September 6th, Huang Liyi moved into a new house, met with relatives and friends, broke ground and consecrated it.

Zhao Donghuai was having lunch at Ah Xin's house in Huayuan Phase 1 when he saw Hong Xin carrying a bag, opening the door and walking in. He said with a face of surprise, "Boss, I'm rich."

"Xie Sheng from Chia Tai Lotus in Thailand paid me back the money I spent on Maxam shampoo last month. In August alone, we sold roughly 5 million bottles of 300g shampoo, with a retail price of 15

Hong Kong dollars, with total sales of HK$75 million.”

“This is also selling very well!”

"Even the sales in South Korea are similar, with sales of more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and sales of more than 100 million a month!"

Zhao Donghuai was dumbfounded, "The sales volume is indeed good. There are more than 54 million people in Thailand. For a family of five, there are 10 million families. This is equivalent to half of the families buying a bottle of shampoo within a month."

To put it simply, this is how the account is calculated, which is very powerful.

In fact, it is definitely not just like this. For example, various hotels, bathing centers, gyms and other places will provide shampoo to members or customers who come in, and they are all ordered in bulk.

Let’s just talk about Huazhi. It covers 100 Huazhi Express stores in Hong Kong and several five-star flagship stores. A single purchase of shampoo can supply at least tens of thousands of rooms. Your wholesale shampoo must start with at least a few thousand bottles.

With the tens of millions of tourists visiting Hong Kong Island every year, Huazhi wholesales hundreds of thousands or more bottles of shampoo a year just for tourists.

You said that many hotel accommodation, bathing, hot spring and other suitable groups in Thailand and South Korea did not open at the same time or purchase goods at the same time...

This is obviously due to the advertising effect of Zheng Shaoqiu, Di Long, Bruce Willis, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, which have been sweeping for several months.

Amid heavy advertising effects and continuous broadcasts on the ATV satellite channel, even Howard, the new president of Procter & Gamble Asia Pacific, has gradually thinned out his hair and suffered severe hair loss. The guy at the news live broadcast even "got angry" and hit the reporter.

It almost turned the interview scene into a legal column.

Under the influence of multiple influences, whether it is Hong Kong Haowan, or tourism groups in South Korea and Thailand, they collectively change their shampoos and are urged by tourists to change their shampoos...

Including those who have already bought P&G shampoo, just discard it and replace it with a new one.

Only in this way can we achieve sales of 5 million bottles in Thailand in one month in August, and similar sales in South Korea.

As for Zhao Donghuai, he has never actively attacked Unilever since the beginning of the shampoo war? This is a normal manifestation of the head effect.

The eldest brother and the second child fought and beat the third and fourth children to death.

In a major, eye-catching event with endless halo, everyone only remembers the champion and easily ignores the third and fourth. Moreover, in retail terminals in South Korea and Thailand, Unilever cannot squeeze the goods counters of Max.

Jiaxin, who was eating a big hot dog, glanced at her with a disdainful look, "Only sales of over 100 million, look at you, sales are one thing, can you get a quarter of the net profit?"

"

Hong Xin was speechless. She was indeed a little speechless. The net profit of shampoo? It is definitely not as good as stockings, women's bags, etc. After all, the five thousand series of luxury goods are heavily taxed. The tax rate is much higher than that of the United States and Canada.

.

But when it comes to net profit ratio, the Five Thousand Years series still easily outperforms MegaNet shampoo. There are too many. Do you dare to sell a pack for HK$100,000... How much does it cost?

Although you put aside the physical cost of manufacturing women's bags, you have also added soft cultural marketing such as big idol dramas, big movies, Hong Kong Fashion Week, etc. to it again and again. That is also a cost, but those latter costs themselves are also profitable.

She could only say, "The shampoo sold 138 million Hong Kong dollars in Thailand and South Korea last month, and the Panda washing powder also sold more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. This is because the latter does not have that kind of novel advertising, it is just an ordinary big star.

Shoot advertisements, sell personal items and bring goods to promote, plus Hong Kong Haowan.”

"Last month's total sales exceeded 250 million Hong Kong dollars. It's so easy to make money."

Even if the net profits of MegaNet shampoo and Panda laundry detergent in Hong Kong, Thailand, and South Korea are only one-quarter or one-fifth of the total sales, look at the figure of HK$250 million. This is not a small amount of money.

.

Who dares to say this is small money?!

The next moment she didn't dare to say anything more, she opened the bag and took out the food box, "Boss, I just got this from the state banquet master, but is it really that delicious?"

Ah Xin then put down the hot dog and came over with a curious look on his face, "If you go to those chefs and ask for delicious food, you want a dish of boiled water and cabbage??"

Zhao Donghuai was surprised and stood up and said, "This dish does not really use boiling water to boil cabbage. The essence is in the soup. Boiled water refers to chicken soup."

Xu Ke wanted to shoot the movie on August 2nd. Of course Zhao Donghuai supported it. He used the influence of the group to send invitations to the state banquet players. Those who were free would naturally come quickly. Those who were not had time to look at his face. Basically

It will come when the gap period comes.

It's impossible for those state banquet masters to stay on the set forever.

The general process is to start with the flagship store of Good Luck, or hire some provincial special chefs from each province to teach Zhao Wenzhuo, Luo Jiaying, Zhong Zhentao, Yuan Yongyi and other main creators knife skills and basic cooking skills.

Popular science has left behind some famous dish production processes. Actors learn from scratch. Want to learn from provincial famous chefs and to the level of state banquets? That may not be possible in a lifetime.

The real shooting method is that the main creator masters basic knife skills and knows the basic process, and then asks a real celebrity chef to cook, and only takes pictures of the back or the chopping and cooking process with arms and shoulders exposed, and in uniform.

When the national players come to the state banquet, they continue to share some knowledge, comments, etc. to enrich the lines of the script. Those who come to Hong Kong Island to stay for a few days or a week or two then leave.

From August 2nd to today, September 6th, there have been seven or eight state-banquet-level celebrity chefs who have come to Hong Kong Island. Every time one of them comes, there will naturally be time for extra meals.

If it's convenient, Zhao Donghuai can invite the other party to cook some delicious food at the Haoyunlai flagship store, or invite him to the ATV headquarters, or invite him to cook at the Zhao family villa.

It's inconvenient to just order food.

The one who came today is a famous Sichuan chef. Under normal circumstances, some of the famous chefs who come here come empty-handed. Zhao Donghuai collects the ingredients himself for whatever he wants to eat, and some bring their own ingredients.

The same dish, the same chef and production process, but different ingredients will have different tastes.

When he came over and looked at a small bowl of boiled cabbage, he picked up the spoon and took a bite, then his eyes lit up, "As expected of a state banquet chef, you guys should try it too."

This dish can be honored as a state banquet, and the requirements for the soup base are really high.

The takeaway dish Hong Xin brought back was not just one dish, except boiled cabbage and other dishes, all of which were famous Sichuan dishes.

After having a snack, Zhao Donghuai went to see Zhou Huimin in Building 1. It was already September, and Amin was more than 5 months pregnant, which was still early before the due date, but Zhao Donghuai's mother-in-law was more nervous and attentive than him and Amin.

too much.

Recently, Amin has been living at home. The mother, daughter and nanny live in the three-storey duplex at the top of Building 1 of Huayuan Phase 1. Zhang Bingqian bought the newborn baby from less than one month old to one or two years old a few months in advance.

Clothes, supplies, etc. Now it’s Amin’s mother’s turn to take Amin for a shopping experience.

On the contrary, Guan Jiahui is much more relaxed. After all, Jiahui is already having her second child, and little Zhao An will be one year old by the end of this month.

Just as Zhao Donghuai walked out of Building 5 and on his way to Building 1, he unexpectedly saw Ju Shao talking and laughing with Liu Xiaoli from another road, two or three meters apart, as if he was jogging for exercise?

Ah Ju and Sister Liu??

Zhao Donghuai waved and shouted, "Aju, why are you here?"

At the shout, Ah Ju, who was joking, was startled and hurriedly ran over to say hello with a bright smile. Even Liu Xiaoli was the same. When he got closer, Ah Ju explained, "Sheng Zhao, I also bought a set in the first phase of Huayuan at a high price.

Second-hand housing, it goes without saying that this is already the safest top-notch residential area in Hong Kong Island. Living here is a sense of security.”

Just from the relaxed, relaxed and relieved posture of Ah Ju, we can be sure that this guy is not lying.

It was only September 6th, and he was kidnapped by the gangsters of the Yamaguchi group on July 2nd and floated on the high seas for a few days. During those days of wandering, he was not severely tortured, but suffered ordinary skin injuries, beatings, and various injuries.

There is still some kind of intimidation.

At this stage, given the conditions of the Li family, you live in a large villa and have twenty or thirty bodyguards to protect and patrol you day and night. It is not as stable and comfortable as living in the first phase of Huayuan.

Everyone who knows it knows that this is a celebrity community, from Building 1 of Zhou Huimin to Building 5 where Li Jiaxin, Hong Xin, Li Saifeng, Lin Qingxia, Christiana Yerry, Winona Ryder and so on are gathered.

It's really... let's put it this way, some of the Pan-Asian bodyguards who have made money, especially those who often follow celebrities to do activities and travel on business, have settled here.

The first phase of Huayuan in Nuovo University has a total of more than 20 residential buildings. Each building has three to five units, which is basically one unit, one staircase and two households. There are not only abundant green facilities in the community, but also landscape rivers and ponds.

, small bridge rockery and small park.

Overall, the property guards, etc. are also at the elite level and are the top facilities in the Huazhi Group property company.

Celebrities here can exercise outdoors in the community without wearing hats and masks without worrying about being mobbed by fans.

Zhao Donghuai laughed dumbly, "It's good that you can get over the accident. It's good."

When he looked at Liu Xiaoli, Sister Liu also smiled and explained, "Good afternoon, Mr. Zhao. I also bought a house in the first phase of Huayuan, but I didn't live there often before. Recently, I mostly filmed in Tsim Sha Tsui, so I lived here."

"The crew hasn't started working yet today. I exercised after eating to stay in shape and avoid gaining weight. Li Sheng was also running outdoors in the community just now to keep fit."

Well, last time Wang Zuxian complained to him in private, saying that Sister Liu was a little too imaginative and actually sent An Feng to Dakeng Village Kindergarten... and bought a house in Dakeng Village.

However, that does not prevent Liu Xiaoli from continuing to buy a house in other places, or she already owns properties in many places before buying a house in Dakeng Village.

A year and a half ago, a heroine movie was enough for Liu Xiaoli to earn tens of millions from sales. And wait and see, Sister Liu has made a lot more this year.

Don't forget, in the 1990 list of the top ten beauties launched by Fei Jing in order to sell celebrity calendars, Liu Xiaoli ranked third after Yuan Jieying and Xiao Yingying in terms of calendar sales.

With a smile, Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Did the filming go smoothly?"

In fact, this is her new work as the heroine, and in this movie, the eldest sister is only a supporting role.

Concubine Wan Gui made Zhao Yazhi famous again. Liu Xiaoli played the role of Empress Dowager Zhou, the mother of Emperor Chenghua. She was a villain who had been suppressing Wan Zhen'er to prevent her from becoming a concubine.

She is said to be the girlfriend of the action star Hua Zai, the Chinese version of the female lead, but she actually has very few scenes, even less than the female vase in many of Lung's action films.

Even so, at this stage, Liu Xiaoli can get a salary of more than one million Hong Kong dollars for just accepting a commercial. Who makes her starting point too high?

Starting out as one of two female leads, it not only exploded at the global box office, earning more than 300 million US dollars, but also nominated several movie queens. One of the two queens in the European and American version is mainly Julia Roberts.

But in East and Southeast Asia, she really jumped through the gantry-like changes with the help of a movie.

Liu Xiaoli continued to smile brightly, "It went very smoothly. Director Wang and Ajie were very efficient in filming. I feel like it only took less than 20 days to shoot, and they are more than half finished..."

Zhao Donghuai was a little speechless, but after thinking about it, it was a routine movie made to take advantage of Cheng Long's reputation. The plot setting was still a trick. The villain team controlled a building and controlled a large number of hostages, and then the action movie protagonist went in alone to kill the thieves.

After the original version was released in Hong Kong Island in June 1995, and it became popular in North America in the same year, Fei Jing followed suit and started filming in June and released in July...Wang's Gunslinger has always been like this.
