Chapter 458: Chapter 458 Yamada’s Acquisition Plan

"Mr. Lin Haishan, I’m not joking with you, that Anti-aging Cream is indeed very strange. It only takes fifteen minutes to make the skin appear several years younger. And I’m not just talking about us—globally, there’s no cosmetic that can reach this level," Lin Haishan said with utmost seriousness, showing no signs of jest.

After meeting his gaze, Mr. Yamada thought carefully and concluded that even if Lin Haishan had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to deceive him.

After all, Senmei was about to be completely controlled by their conglomerate, and if Lin Haishan didn’t perform well, Mr. Yamada had the power to completely kick him out and make Senmei wholly owned by Sakura Country.

"Is the Anti-aging Cream really that miraculous? Have you seen it with your own eyes?" asked Mr. Yamada.

"The whole internet is full of videos about the Anti-aging Cream, but just to be safe, I had my secretary buy a few bottles to try it out myself."

No sooner had Lin Haishan finished speaking than, as if on cue, the secretary arrived at the doorframe, gasping for breath with at least ten bottles of Anti-aging Cream in a full bag, and said, "Boss! The Anti-aging Cream... I... I’ve bought it back!"

"Very good, thank you for your hard work. Go find a few people to come here; I want to personally test the effects of this Anti-aging Cream," Lin Haishan said as he approached the secretary and took the bag from him.

He wasn’t foolish enough to apply such a cognitively challenging substance to his own face; if something went wrong, it wasn’t about whether Zhao Corporation was willing to take responsibility, but that Lin Haishan valued his face.

He didn’t want to risk his own face.

"Alright, sure!" the secretary responded.

He thought this task was far simpler than getting the Anti-aging Cream.

To buy the Anti-aging Cream, he had called in who knows how many favors.

It was simply too popular.

Soon, the secretary returned with four people; including himself, that made five.

Who wouldn’t want to look younger?

Asking the five people to line up, Lin Haishan picked up a bottle of Anti-aging Cream, tore open the packaging, and opened the cap.

He leaned in to smell it—a fairly ordinary scent, not too strong, just a faint medicinal fragrance.

He extended his hand, then stopped and retracted it, letting the secretaries take and apply the cream themselves.

Watching the five of them, each more eager than the last, greedily spreading the Anti-aging Cream on their faces, Lin Haishan couldn’t help but wonder to himself, is it really worth it?

Not long after, all five faces were covered with Anti-aging Cream.

Now they just needed to wait peacefully for fifteen minutes.

"Fifteen minutes are up; tear it off quickly so I can have a good look at your faces," Mr. Yamada, who had been keeping an eye on the time, said impatiently as soon as the fifteen minutes were up, speaking before Lin Haishan could.

Upon hearing his words, the five began to peel off the grass-green face masks from the edges. It came off smoothly, without tearing a bit.

"How can this be!" Mr. Yamada was astounded by the effects of the Anti-aging Cream, rubbing his eyes repeatedly, at one point questioning if he was hallucinating.

He had never thought a cosmetic could have such profound effects!

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

"Mr. Lin Haishan, I’m not seeing things, am I?" Mr. Yamada turned to Lin Haishan, seeking confirmation that what he was seeing was not an illusion.

But Lin Haishan didn’t need to respond; the shock written all over his face was enough for Mr. Yamada to be completely convinced that everything was real, not an illusion!

It was miraculous! Absolutely unbelievable!

"How could something like this exist in the world? The company you just mentioned, what is it really about?"

Mr. Yamada had initially been indifferent, but after witnessing the remarkable effect of the Anti-aging Cream, he found it impossible to remain so.

"Zhao Corporation. Logically speaking, cosmetics only account for about ten percent of their economic revenue; they have other main businesses that are completely unrelated to the cosmetics industry," Lin Haishan answered.

"Their main business has nothing to do with cosmetics, yet they managed to develop such a remarkable product—this is a slap in the face to all the top-tier cosmetics research companies!" Mr. Yamada said angrily.

The company had suffered huge losses because of that Anti-aging Cream; how could he possibly stay calm?

"Mr. Yamada? What should we do now?" Lin Haishan was at a complete loss and could only kick the ball back to Mr. Yamada, letting him make the decision.

"Take me to Zhao Corporation immediately, I want to meet with them!"

"Do you mean to say, you want to acquire them? Or rather, acquire the Anti-aging Cream?" Lin Haishan asked.

"Exactly! Such a product absolutely must not fall into other’s hands. If we could buy it, with the help of the consortium’s global sales network, our assets could surely multiply several times over!" Mr. Yamada was already fantasizing about the bountiful scene where the vault would be so stuffed with money that he would need to buy another vault.

"But if it’s such a hot-selling product, would they really be willing to sell it?" Lin Haishan was very worried.

"Didn’t Senmei also initially refuse to be acquired by the consortium? But in the end, didn’t you get bought out anyway? As we say in Great Xia, ’There are always more solutions than difficulties,’" Mr. Yamada approached Lin Haishan and patted his shoulder a few times.

Hearing Mr. Yamada’s words, Lin Haishan felt uncomfortable, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Besides the phrase ’There are always more solutions than difficulties’, Lin Haishan wished Mr. Yamada would understand another saying from Great Xia that had been passed down through the ages: ’To mention the pots that don’t boil!’

"Enough, don’t waste time, let’s hurry to Zhao Corporation!" Mr. Yamada commanded.

"Yes!" Lin Haishan had no choice, let alone the right to refuse. To maintain the company in name only and not disgrace his ancestors, he could only submit to Mr. Yamada’s demands.

No other choice...

Soon, the time arrived at the afternoon.

When Zhao Xinlian woke up from her sleep, sat up from the sofa, rubbed her eyes, and turned her gaze towards the window, she only then noticed the setting sun, with the sky dipped in swathes of orange.

"How did I fall asleep? The launch of the Anti-aging Cream!"

"Don’t worry, everything is running smoothly. If you still haven’t rested enough, you can sleep a bit longer," Chen Wei brought over a freshly brewed cup of hot coffee and placed it on the glass coffee table in front of Zhao Xinlian.

"Thank you."

Glancing at the cup of coffee and then at the blanket covering her, Zhao Xinlian suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

"Everything is running smoothly? How is it? Has the sale of the Anti-aging Cream broken through ten million? Although it’s still early, I’m quite confident," she said.

"Uh..." Hearing Zhao Xinlian say this, Chen Wei could hardly resist commenting, ’Is that what you call confident?’

Just about to speak out, Chen Wei chose to intentionally keep her in suspense instead, swallowing his words and saying, "Why don’t you check it on your phone yourself?"

Hearing Chen Wei say this, combined with his nonchalant expression.

Zhao Xinlian started to become anxious; could it be that the Anti-aging Cream was a flop upon launch?

It shouldn’t be...

She couldn’t think of any reason why a product like the Anti-aging Cream wouldn’t be a hit.
