In fact, Hank the Beast had made considerable progress in his research on the Dawn 101 Hair Growth Potion. After eliminating most of the side effects, the effect of his medical potion was only hair regeneration.
This hair regeneration was a kind of stimulation for the hair follicles all over the body. It could regenerate dead hair follicles. It gave them the ability to grow hair again.
For an emergency medicine aimed at healing serious trauma, this level of effect could only be regarded as stimulating the growth of a few hair strands. For Beast's original goal, it was a hopelessly failed waste.
However, when Li Jie corrected their train of thought and changed their perspective, it instantly became a kind of miraculous medicine. A magic medicine that could make a group of people thirsty for knowledge!
Don't underestimate the middle-aged uncle's resentment of baldness, and don't underestimate the middle-aged uncle's financial resources. Just like playing a game, if a middle-aged uncle who was addicted to FGO or shipgirls really hardened his heart to spend money, then those fearsome primary school students could only kneel in front of the uncle.
Hank the Beast and Tony Stark improved the Dawn 101 Hair Growth Potion very quickly. Because this thing itself was symptomatic. The two of them only made appropriate improvements to the medicinal properties, changing the fearsome injectable potion into a smear potion.
When the Illuminati held a meeting before the sale of the hair growth potion, Li Jie emphasized, "We are a high-tech product! It's not something like hyaluronic acid and Botox. It's not something like sheep placenta! It's easy to think of microplastic surgery with injectable injections! "
"Before selling a product, we have to understand our customer base first. Most middle-aged men, especially straight men, hate things like microplastic surgery! " Li Jie waved his fists. His speech was very similar to the famous China tycoon Jack Ma.
"We can't sell them something with subconscious guidance. Although they won't notice it for a while, some people will feel repulsed after a long time. "
Captain Rogers had a different opinion towards Li Jie's words. "I think this is similar to plastic surgery. I've seen people in the news who inject hyaluronic acid and Botox into their faces. They are also pursuing beauty. Hair growth seems to be a similar pursuit. "
Li Jie smiled and waved his hand. He paced back and forth with his head lowered. In a sonorous tone, he said, "This is completely different, Captain! Plastic surgery and micro-plastic surgery were mostly for the sake of pursuing something they didn't have before. For example, it's because their lip line isn't plump enough. "
"Breast enlargement is because my breasts aren't big enough. Thinning my face is to pursue a small face that I don't have. It could be said that these people were pursuing something that they didn't have before. But hair growth is different. "
"Saving hair loss is just saving something that they all had before: hair, and it's just saving it back! There was before, but not now. This is just a battle for retribution! "Li Jie slammed the table with all his might, making a" peng peng "sound.
His speech reminded people of a mysterious profession: MLM brainwashing. Maybe he really had the talent.
"I think we should make the use of hair growth potion simpler." Li Jie crossed his arms and looked at Dr. Hank.
"For example, make it into a simple potion, preferably something like shampoo. Let the person who needs to use it wash the parts that they need to grow hair. " Li Jie touched his chin and thought, "After all, it's a bit wasteful to stimulate the activity of the hair follicles all over the body. If it's still good hair follicles, then it'll be a waste of resources."
Dr. Hank nodded. "If we really do this, then we can reduce the use of healing genes by quite a bit. This can reduce the production cost of the whole thing. "
The healing factor that Dr. Hank mentioned was not extracted from Wolverine. If every bottle of hair growth potion had to be produced from an old wolf, then the old wolf would sooner or later become a human jerky.
This self-healing factor was cultivated by Dr. Hank himself and could be multiplied on a large scale. However, the self-healing strength of this factor was pitifully weak. It had no use other than to regrow hair.
The other materials in the hair growth potion were actually useless. The most important thing was this self-healing factor. Dr. Hank began to calculate. If he did it according to Li Jie's idea, then the number of self-healing factors needed in the entire potion would be greatly reduced. It would probably only need about 5% of the original amount. This could directly reduce the cost by 95%. This seemed to be very cost-effective.
However, Dr. Hank still frowned. "But in this way, the activity of the self-healing factors will probably be enough. However, Dr. Hank still frowned. "But in this way, the activity of the self-healing factors will not be enough. They can't continuously activate the hair follicles, and they can't really completely repair the hair follicles. When the activity of the self-healing factors is lost, the hair follicles will wither again. In this case, we need to constantly replenish new self-healing factors to stimulate the hair follicles. "
Pa! Li Jie suddenly clapped his hands. "This is the effect I want!" He said excitedly, "Doctor, according to your calculations, how long can this stimulation of the hair follicles last?"
Dr. Hank took a pile of data listed on the microcomputer and conducted a simulation experiment before saying to Li Jie, "In theory, it can last about 150 days, but I think we will need to replenish new self-healing factors after 90 days."
"That's enough, doctor!" Li Jie patted Hank's shoulder and smiled like a profiteer. "If you completely cure those people with hair loss in one go, who will we sell our products to in the future? A rotation of 90 days is a length of time that most people can accept. This is enough! We need to cast a long line to catch a big fish! "
Tony, Hank, Rogers, and Charles. The four of them looked at Li Jie with black lines on their faces. For the first time, they realized that this guy was actually so treacherous.
"I suddenly feel that I chose the wrong partner," Tony said quietly. "He's as ruthless as the arms dealer."
In fact, Tony was wrong, or he underestimated Li Jie's ruthlessness. When the first batch of hair growth products appeared and the cost was calculated repeatedly, everyone was surprised to find that the cost of this thing was much lower than they had imagined. Including all the costs, except for the uncontrollable logistics costs in the future.
The cost of a bottle of hair growth water was only about seven dollars, which was a very low price. Of course, this was thanks to Li Jie directly cutting the use of the self-healing factor by 95%. Because of this move, the production of the potion was reduced.
As for the price, hehe.
"Thirty dollars? Doctor, are you crazy?! "Li Jie looked at Hank in disbelief. He was questioning the price proposed by Dr. Hank.
"Is the price set too high? Well, with the cost of seven dollars, it is indeed a bit high. In fact, with the price of twenty dollars, we can make a lot of profit. "Hank thought that Li Jie was questioning the high price, so he took the initiative to lower the price.
"Doctor, I think you really can only do research in the lab. You can't participate in the business. "Li Jie shook his head with his hand on his forehead.
"But if the price of twenty dollars goes down, our profit will be very low." Hank said with a frown.
"Doctor, twenty dollars is correct." Li Jie said to Hank earnestly, "But we have to add a number in front of twenty dollars. It's one hundred and twenty dollars per bottle! "
Pfft! Tony, Charles, and Rogers who were drinking their coffee all spat it out. Li Jie's price was too ruthless. He wanted to sell something that cost seven dollars for one hundred and twenty dollars?
The price was a full seventeen times higher. Tony originally sold arms. It was said that selling arms was a huge profit. But in terms of the price-to-earnings ratio, the profit from selling arms was far less than selling hair growth water!
Marx once said, "When the profit reaches 50%, the capitalists will stop at nothing; when the profit reaches 100%, the capitalists will take desperate risks; when the profit reaches 200%, the capitalists will dare to trample on all the laws, dignity, and morality of the world, and sacrifice their lives to obtain wealth."
Then what if the profit reached one thousand and seven hundred percent? This kind of profit was enough to make any capitalist go crazy!
"Guys, don't look at me like that. This money is not for my own use. This money is for the public. In the end, it is also taken from the people and used for the people. " Li Jie saw the other people in the Illuminati looking at him. It was like Yang Bailao looking at Zhou Bapi.
Li Jie didn't think that his price was high. One hundred and twenty dollars guaranteed that your hair would be thick and black in three months. Moreover, it was all natural growth, not hair transplants or wigs.
The monthly cost was only forty dollars, which was less than three hundred dollars when converted to RMB. Was this price expensive? It wasn't expensive at all! This was a price that most people could afford, and Li Jie was sure that those people would only think that it was too cheap!
Under Li Jie's repeated persuasion, the others finally accepted his price. After that, it was time for Tony to persuade Pei Bo to take over the company.
Three days after Tony and Pei Bo talked about this, the first batch of large-scale products went on sale. The first batch of products was nearly a hundred thousand bottles. After studying the introduction and performance of the entire company's products, Pei Bo held an emergency product launch.
Because of the rush, many news outlets couldn't get to the scene in time. But there were still a lot of permanent news outlets in New York who came to the launch. After all, this was Tony Stark's product launch.
His last product launch had surprised the world, and the launch of the new energy had changed the entire world. For this launch, everyone was very interested in Tony's new product. Especially when everyone heard that this was a private company operated by Tony and not a company under the Stark Group, they became even more interested.
What kind of invention could it be that made Tony so careful that he didn't even let Stark Industries get involved? The news outlets who received the invitation went to the product launch in high spirits.
When they arrived at the venue, they found that this press conference was completely different from previous press conferences of Stark Industries.
In the past, apart from the media, the people sitting in the front row at the launch were either big shots in politics, military representatives, or business elites.
But today, the veteran reporters didn't know any of the people sitting in the front row reserved for invitations. This puzzled many of the veteran reporters. What was Tony Stark up to today?
"Jason, do you know these people sitting here?" Zhou Hai, a veteran reporter from Xinhua News Agency, asked his colleague from Agence France-Presse.
Jason, a reporter from Agence France-Presse, finally found someone he knew. "I know that guy. He's wearing a blue suit. He's the global purchasing manager for Carrefour in France. "
Zhou Hai also found someone he knew. "I see someone I know too. Isn't that the director of operations for Watson's Asia?"
The two veteran reporters exchanged a look. It seemed that Tony Stark's products couldn't have anything to do with Carrefour or Watson's.
In fact, apart from the representatives of Carrefour and Watson's, there were also many big shots from supermarkets, including Walmart and 800 Pals. When they received Tony's invitation, they didn't know why Tony had invited them.
Supermarkets weren't allowed to sell heavy weapons!
But when they saw many of their colleagues here, they suddenly realized that Tony was probably going to launch a civilian product this time.
At this time, Zhou Hai and Jason also guessed this point. The two veteran reporters were a little excited. Tony Stark surprised them every time. What surprise would he bring them this time?!
