Chapter 162 Counterattack
After saying goodbye to Jerry, Antonio didn't return to the company, but returned to home. He was
really too tired, so he slept soundly when he was home.
In the next few days, Antonio made frequent contact with several bosses of other companies. Oscar
saw everything, but he did not know what Antonio wanted to do at all.
He used to ask, but Antonio just smiled and did not say a word.
Antonio had a plan in mind. If it worked well, he could not only stop the declining trend of the cosmetics
of the Baron Group in J City market, but also let Aadam's Delia brand lost popularity in J City.
He had received news that the opening ceremony of the Delia Group's retail store, which was the result
of the cooperation between Aadam and the Sunrise Company, would be held the day after tomorrow.
The right time was coming. On this day, Antonio sat in his office, tapping his desk gently with one hand
with his cold eyes.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door of his office. After Antonio said "come in, please", the door
was opened.
Jerry went in in a casual way and sat on the opposite seat to Antonio.
"Why, have you got information about Olivia?" Antonio smiled slightly.
Jerry also smiled, "Antonio knows me well." He cleared his thoughts, and then slowly said, "Yes, I have.
This is his detailed information." While talking, he handed over a document to Antonio.
Antonio took over the document and looked through it.
According to the document, Olivia was a notorious gangster in the tenth street in J City. He was often
taken to the police for stirring fights and causing troubles. He was once sentenced to six months'
imprisonment for theft.
Now he had been idle, doing nothing but eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all day. Most of his
money was also obtained improperly.
How could a man like this not personally take the money? Antonio shook his head and couldn't figure
out how that woman who was cheated by Olivia became friends with Olivia.
"What do you investigate him for?" Jerry couldn't helping asking curiously again.
Antonio didn't answer, but just said, "He was just a minion. I'll deal with him when I'm free. Now there
are there are more important things." Antonio looked up at him, "By the way, how's the plan going?"
"It's well prepared. Just wait for tomorrow." Jerry snapped his finger handsomely and said confidently.
The second day, the cosmetics of the Baron Group was hyped by major newspapers and media in J
City, and even on the Debater hot search list.
The theme of the publicity was mainly on the comparison between the cosmetics of the Baron Group
and that of the Delia Group in various aspects.
Some said that the cosmetics of the Baron Group had developed in J City for many years; some
claimed that the cosmetics of Delia were expressive although it was a big international brand; some
argued that the cosmetics of Delia were mainly aimed at the people of Europe and America and did not This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
necessarily have a significant effect on the people of C Country. These words almost swept through all
the media of J City like a tornado.
Those articles also posted Antonio's wonderful speech at that press conference and added a
"comment": only enterprises that considered the benefit of consumers like this were truly worthy of
consumers' trust.
Of course, these articles also recommended cosmetics of other brands, but these cosmetics were
produced or represented by local companies in J City.
Besides, the cosmetics of the Baron Group, which was taken off the shelves because of the sharp
decline in sales, reappeared in the major counters in most of the shopping malls in J City. Among them,
all the cosmetics sold in the cosmetics counters of the Quin Group were products of the Baron Group.
This was Antonio's strategy.
It was obviously impossible to make the cosmetics of the Baron Group popular again with just a
speech, not to mention that the Delia Group would compete with the Baron Group.
In Antonio's opinion, it was impossible for the cosmetics of the Baron Group to occupy the market of J
City again by passive defense and the Baron Group must take the initiative to take action.
For today's appearance of "the tornado of the cosmetics of the Baron Group", Antonio worked for
several days and nights without sleep and invested hugely in it.
But the rewards would be amazing once it succeeded.
In these days, Antonio and Jerry contacted many bosses of companies, especially those mainly in the
cosmetics industry, and stated for them the terrible possibility that they would all lost the market of J
City if the Delia Group occupied the market.
Antonio and Jerry hoped that these companies to work with the Baron Group. If they had their own
shopping malls, they hoped that they would sell the products of the Baron Group alone or sell both their
own products and the products of the Baron Group. Antonio guaranteed that the Baron Group would
compete with the Delia Group as the main force.
The bosses of these companies were naturally not fools, knowing that Antonio would benefit most from
it. However, the key point was that cosmetics department was but a department of the Baron Group
and the Baron Group wouldn't be affected too much however poor the sales was.
But that was not the case with them. Some relied on cosmetics to earn profit; some got half of the profit
from the sales of cosmetics. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, they all agreed.
And compared with the Delia Group entering the market of J City and becoming the largest cosmetics
brand in J City, they would rather that the Baron Group could be the same as before. In that case, they
could at least have a share of the market.
In the face of a sudden large number of news, Aadam was hit unprepared, but there was no anxious
expression on his face.
Seeing the news of the cosmetics of the Baron Group, he even smiled.
”That's all? Antonio, you are really at your wits' end." Aadam said leisurely while drinking coffee. It
could be seen that he was extremely confident in the brand of the Delia Group. In particular, the brand
of the Delia Group had enjoyed good reputation for so many years. Therefore, he dared to assert that
his retail store would become the largest cosmetics brand store in J City in a few days.
He didn't believe that Antonio could cause any negative effects on Delia with a day of publicity.
What's more, he had also done a lot of publicity work. Although he did open the retail store in a hurry,
he watched the Sunrise Company promote with funds. He also saw the strength of publicity with his
own eyes. It was just not as extensive as the publicity made by Antonio.
Like Aadam, Antonio was very confident in his plan. He would be able to see the result of all his efforts
in the early morning.
At night, the light in Antonio's bedroom was on until Jerry called him.
Jerry told Antonio on the phone that the cosmetics counters in the shopping malls of the Quin Group
had a turnover of more than 100000 a day today.
And this was just because those articles had just been released. Presumably, the cosmetics of the
Baron Group would definitely be hot because of chain reaction tomorrow.
At noon the next day, all the shopping malls sent reports. Seeing the figures on the reports, Antonio
stretched his eyebrows. Since he lost the bid, this was the first real turnaround!
The complaints among members of the board also disappeared.
