Chapter 457: I really came to the right place this time [Please give me your monthly ticket]
Jerome was shocked. Gao Jin had told Jerome before that it was very important for Italian biologics to research a new generation of whitening and firming skin projects. If it were not for review and inspection, there would be no accident.
Unexpectedly, something really happened now.
"Boss, my original arrangement was for a team of personnel to monitor this project at the research institute. Now it seems that there is a problem with this pair of personnel."
"I will dispatch three more pairs of personnel to go there and I will definitely dig out this mole."
Gilome said this with a serious face.
"I don't care how many teams you send over, what I want is the result. This time, you failed in your duty!"
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he hung up the phone, then called up Pier's phone number to tell the story, and asked Pier to arrange for a team of people to go to the Italian Institute of Biological Agents to conduct a secret investigation.
I will call Claude and Eisley. No matter who is involved, the person who leaked the experimental data must be dug out.
Pierre had already sensed Gao Jin's anger and agreed immediately, and would launch an investigation tomorrow.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Jin explained to Claude and Eisley again, and then hung up the phone.
"When you reply to L'Oreal, just say that I welcome Ms. Belinda to be a guest at any time." Gao Jin turned to look at Sonia and said.
Sonia nodded and turned to leave. At this moment, Gao Jin was in a bad mood, so it was better for him to leave early.
After Sonia left and closed the door, Zhou Ziru looked at Gao Jin and said, "Young Master Gao, I think it is necessary for us to do another internal inspection. It has been more than two years since the last internal inspection. Many people have healed and forgotten their scars."
pain".
Gao Jin nodded. What Zhou Ziru said made sense. Data on key projects can be leaked this time. What about other data?
It really needs to be checked carefully.
"You go back and arrange the financial audit in secret, and I will arrange the other things." Gao Jin said this calmly, and Zhou Ziru nodded, stood up and left.
Gao Jin sat alone in the office and sulked. About half an hour later, Sonia came to the office again and reported, "I have contacted Ms. Belinda, the president of L'Oreal. Ms. Belinda will visit the director at the morning market in three days."
long".
"You make my time arrangements," Gao Jin said and waved his hand, and Sonia turned and left.
Time passed slowly. It was getting dark on the Celestial side and it was getting light on the European side. The Hamburg security company started taking action. The three teams flew directly to Genoa, Italy.
Pierre sent five people to leave the Starlight Town in Somalia (SML). These people were all specially trained investigative veterans, and their destination was also Genoa.
Neither Jerome nor Pierre dared to be careless. They had already felt Gao Jin's anger last night. Jerome was also filled with anger and would not give up until he dug out this young man.
Time passed slowly for three days. L'Oreal President Belinda arrived at the morning market last night and settled into the Rizhao Hotel.
That night, Gao Jin received a report from the security company. Rishi Airlines was one of the subsidiaries of the Xingling Group and was managed by the security company.
Belinda's whereabouts were known as soon as she got off the plane.
Sonia contacted Belinda overnight and agreed to come over tomorrow to pick up Belinda and her party to the Protoss Spirit Group headquarters.
Belinda sat on the sofa with a smile on her face. Sure enough, her whereabouts at the morning market were known to the Protoss Group, just as she expected.
It is estimated that Italy is about to find out now.
At nine-thirty the next morning, a convoy of high-end commercial vehicles drove to the Rizhao Hotel. Belinda and her group went downstairs and got in the vehicles. The convoy left the hotel and went straight to the headquarters of Xingling Group.
At almost ten o'clock, Zhang Hongbin received a report that Belinda, the president of L'Oreal Group, had arrived at the morning market and had already taken a car to the headquarters of Xingling Group.
I don’t know what Belinda came to discuss with Gao Jin.
Zhang Hongbin did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately took the report to Qiao Mingxian for discussion.
Once this group of international giants get together and cause something to happen, the damage will be too great and the consequences will be too widespread, and they must not be taken lightly.
The motorcade drove all the way into the headquarters of the Xingling Group. Belinda got out of the car and looked around. The headquarters of the Xingling Group was more beautiful than in the photos. This kind of specification can be regarded as the headquarters of an international giant.
Jane appeared with Sonia, shook hands with Belinda and introduced her identity, and Belinda nodded.
The two of them are assistants to the chairman of the Xingling Group, absolutely high-level people, and they were very polite when they arrived at the door.
Sonia took Belinda to the elevator, and Jane asked Belinda's people to rest and wait in the lounge nearby. The others were also very cooperative.
When she got out of the elevator, Belinda saw Gao Jin. She might not recognize other Asian faces, but Belinda definitely recognized Gao Jin's face.
The two shook hands, Gao Jin took Belinda into his office, and invited Belinda to the leisure area nearby to drink tea and chat.
Gao Jin quickly picked up the boiling water and started making tea. Soon, several small cups of tea appeared. Belinda was not young, so Gao Jin did not prepare green tea, but black tea.
After drinking a cup of tea, Belinda said, "This black tea is very good, it tastes better than the one I drank at President Lipton's."
This sentence is not a compliment, but the truth. At Belinda's level and age, she no longer bothers to tell lies.
"Thanks"
"This tea is grown from an old tea tree in China. It grows naturally. The quantity is limited every year. I also got a box by chance." Gao Jin explained with a smile, and Belinda nodded.
Even though Belinda is a Westerner, she also has a deep understanding of the tea ceremony. Many years ago, Belinda began to abandon coffee and start drinking tea.
The kind of top-quality tea Gao Jin mentioned is not something you can buy just by having money.
"Director Gao, I believe you already know my purpose of coming. What do you think?" Belinda asked with a smile.
"Ms. Belinda, can I know when L'Oreal started targeting my biologics research institute?" Gao Jin looked at Belinda and asked.
"I can tell you this"
"By chance, I only started to notice your institute after October last year."
"Due to the corporate nature of L'Oreal, we must pay attention to anything related to cosmetics. Ordinarily, there are many research institutes in the world that are engaged in whitening and tightening skin, and we simply can't take care of them."
"But this is a research institute under the Xingling Group, so I have to pay attention to it. I didn't expect that you have achieved such enviable results."
"Although it is not yet time for human trials, our internal analysis shows that this is a formula that can become popular all over the world."
"A formula that women around the world can't refuse"
"Our L'Oreal Group and your Xingling Group are both big groups. I think that things that can be solved with money are not big things. There is no need to use dirty tricks."
"what you think?"
After Belinda finished speaking, she glanced at Gao Jin. These words not only explained the reason, but also expressed that L'Oreal Group had no intention of collaborating with the evil Star Spirit Group.
"I also think so"
"When this project was established a few years ago, I talked about it with Claude and the director of the institute."
"Xingling Group now has multiple cross-industry products. It is not easy to make the current business bigger and stronger. We cannot and do not have the strength to intervene in any industry."
Gao Jin said these words with a smile on his face, and Belinda also smiled. Sure enough, Gao Jin felt as he had guessed, he really came to the right place this time.
"Now, I am full of confidence that we can reach the same goal." After Belinda finished speaking, she picked up the teacup, and Gao Jin also picked up the teacup. As soon as their teacups touched, they both drank the tea in one gulp.
The atmosphere became much more relaxed. What Gao Jin just said was not a joke. He had mentioned this when communicating with Claude and Eisley.
Very few of the powerful international giants span across industries. They all become international giants by maximizing one industry.
It's not that these international giants don't have the money to cross industries, but that each of these international giants understand in their hearts that crossing industries means going to war against another international giant that is no less inferior to you.
Everyone is about the same size, so a fight will definitely result in a fight between the snipe and the clam.
Therefore, each of them has a huge amount of funds lying on their books and is not using it, and they are not undertaking any cross-industry projects. This is fundamentally different from domestic companies.
Looking at the current domestic enterprises in China, there are often a pair of projects spanning six or seven industries. If you analyze it carefully, these projects of this enterprise are of little significance.
Firstly, there is no unique technology, and secondly, there is a serious lack of funds and serious debts. It is purely for the purpose of making money from people and real estate, and it is not for the purpose of running a business at all.
Xingling Group is too special. Although it spans industries, it does not have so many shortcomings.
Because Xingling Group has its own unique technology, it directly shuffled other industries and occupied the leading position in the industry.
This is the crushing brought about by technology, and you cannot afford it.
Just like the Moganshan Company in the United States, before the Xingling Group's ultra-high thermal conductivity materials were withdrawn, the net profit was easily two to three billion US dollars every year, and life was very easy.
Ten percent of the net profit every year is invested in research and development, which basically eliminates the possibility of other companies surpassing it.
There is only a small chance of being surpassed by an enterprise. This is a special case and not the rule.
Gao Jin and Belinda started talking and laughing, and began to bargain over the patent licensing fees and time limit.
Both of them are not ordinary people. They are both heads of international giants. They are not soft-hearted at all when bargaining. They say what they should and shouldn't say without any hesitation.
Both of them knew in their hearts that today was just the initial contact and the real confrontation would begin tomorrow.
This time Belinda came here, also authorized by the board of directors, to sign a patent agreement with Gao Jin in one fell swoop to completely obtain the patent for this product.
