Chapter 245 – “How come I don’t know that I have a niece?” (2)
In Country Y, one could say that Fang JunRong had become famed instantly because of Hair Growing Cream. XinYun’s favorite activity as of late was to take screen shots of foreign praises to show to her.
[I have never thought there would be a day when I can have such a thick head of hair. Fang is like an angel!]
[Thank you, Prince Jeff, for letting us know about this product! I will also recommend their Beautify Pills. They are equally amazing! Too bad we can only buy one box at a time.]
[I heard from my Chinese schoolmate that these two products sell for much cheaper in China. I am planning to have his friends in China help me get some.]
[This must be Chinese magic! The spell from Asia had saved us.]
Fang JunRong must admit that reading these comments made her happy. Looking back on the local news, they were all over the place.
“The Chinese woman had conquered a prince.”
“What made a man regain his manly self-confidence.”
These titles made Fang JunRong itching to send out lawyer letters. All she could say was these tabloids were shameless.
She could only tell herself to not read them. What one doesn’t know can’t hurt you. Just what was wrong with money?
Even though Beautify Pills had been shadowed by Hair Growing Cream at the beginning but money is money is money. As Beautify Pills gained more reputation and popularity, lines of customers would clear out the shelves every day and customers in both countries express that there were needs for more inventory.
Two hundred boxes a day was nowhere close to being enough.
As such, procurement services began to pop up. After all, it was easier to obtain Beautify Pills and Hair Growing Cream in China as more were available, not to mention that the price was only 1/3 what they were overseas.
Per her assistant Yu Huaizhen, many of her friends who were already in the business of procurement services had added Beautify Pills to the services that they provide.
In the past, they had been buying cosmetics overseas and selling them in China. Things were very different now. Now they were making purchases domestically and selling them overseas.
As her mood suit her today, she went to check on a branch today. As usual, the line was so long that it was almost wrapping around the block.
This was when Fang JunRong noticed a few individuals, with hats and facemasks, approached those in line mysteriously. She had no idea what they told the others but, quickly, those who were in line would step out of the line. Fang JunRong saw them pulling out a box of Beautify Pills from their pocket and handed over to the ones who were in line just a little while ago.
She walked straight toward them.
She happened to heard the person saying, “I have quite a few boxes of Beautify Pills here and I am only asking for 100 dollars a box. I will even give you a discount if you buy in bulk. You can also refer your friends to us. We have a lot of in stock and you can buy as many as you want. You won’t need to stand in line everyday any more with no guarantee that you will even be able to get any.”
“It’s the exact same thing and they are much cheaper in China. Besides, we get them directly from the factory so we are able to offer them at a much more reasonable price.”
Fang JunRong, too, thought it was procurement services competing with her at first but the more she heard, the odder it sounded. This was no longer procurement service; this was straight up selling knockoffs. There was no guarantee that even those in China would be able to secure any, let alone stockpiling. And getting them directly from the factory? Why wasn’t her, as the founder, knew about this?
One hundred dollar in Country Y’s currency was an equivalent to 700 ~ 800 yuan. That was too cheap even for China. She did not have promotions very often. And, throwing in the cost of plane tickets, the price itself was indicative of something iffy.
No customer in China would fall for this. Anyone who had been through the raffle would know how difficult it was to get their hands on Beautify Pills and Hair Growing Cream. All of the scalpers were selling them at an astronomical price. But the customers overseas were not aware of that! The only reasons that these people were able to pull off this scheme was because of the gap in the information.
