I'm a hero in Marvel

How much profit can the global cosmeceuticals industry generate? According to incomplete statistics, the world spends more than $1 billion on cosmeceuticals and personal care products every year. With a global population of 75 billion, each person spends at least $15 on skin care every year. This is a huge market. And it is foreseeable that as living standards improve, this market will only expand, not shrink.

At this critical moment, Tony Stark took a crucial step. The final result of the negotiation was that Walmart obtained 50% of the supply, after all, it is the leader in the global retail industry.

Next was Watsons, which specializes in cosmeceuticals. Due to its small size, Pepper would not have sent an invitation letter if it had not been for its professional status. Watsons received 10%, and the remaining 40% was divided among other companies.

In terms of pricing, the factory price of Shuguang 101 is set at $120, which is non-negotiable. Retailers cannot get any price discounts. The suggested retail price is $158 per bottle, which ensures the profit of retailers.

But high profits do not come without a price. Suguang does not bear the cost of logistics, publicity, promotion and other activities, which must be paid by retailers from their profits. This can be called an overlord clause, but in a seller's market, Pepper proposed these conditions and the retail giants had no objection. Because they understand that if they refuse now, they may not have a share in the future.

After signing the agreement, everyone was concerned about one question: where is the goods? They want to pick up the goods now and put them on the shelves for sale tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! Retail giants began to contact special aircraft. For these multinational retailers, having several special aircraft is the norm.

Retailers are all planning how to distribute the limited supply. Walmart can only get 5 bottles at most, which is far from enough. So Walmart concentrates its resources in North America. Carrefour is responsible for Europe, Yaohan and Hisamitsu dominate the Japanese market, and Watsons is responsible for the Chinese market. For example, Watsons announced that it will only sell Shuguang 101 in ten stores in the three major cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the daily quantity is limited to 50 bottles per store per day, while stocks last.

Each customer can only buy one bottle in the store. Wal-Mart and Carrefour have also adopted a similar sales strategy because the supply is really limited. The limited supply in major cities has attracted the interest of many people who have watched the video of the launch conference. People with hair loss hope to use it to grow hair, while those who have not lost hair want to use it for hair care.

After learning about the sales strategies of various companies, almost everyone who wanted to buy this product began to line up in front of the sales point. This time it was no longer a night of waiting in line for the new iPhone. For many people, the Sugon 101 was much more important than a fashionable new phone.

From New York to Tokyo, from Frankfurt to London, to Shanghai and Paris, people all over the world were fascinated by a cosmetic product for the first time. But the news media was even more enthusiastic than the people, which made Tony feel uneasy.

"Jarvis, don't send me any news about me today!" Tony knew that there would be a lot of reports about him today, so he made an explanation in advance. But he could control Jarvis, but he couldn't control Li Jie. At the Illuminati base, Li Jie bought back all the newspapers that mentioned Tony and the news of the Shuguang Company.

So when Iron Man arrived at the base, he saw a group of Illuminati members gathered together to discuss the contents of the newspaper. "I like this title, which has the flavor of Chinese online news, "Why is Tony Stark obsessed with developing hair growth water?" It is really eye-catching and can bring more attention to our products." Li Jie said, holding a Chinese newspaper bought in Chinatown.

Facing all this, Tony felt like his head was about to explode. He came here to avoid the limelight. He knew how many reports there were about him, and this was what he least wanted to hear at the moment. Come on! He is Iron Man! He invented the Ark Reactor and changed the world's energy structure! He has done so much for the world, why is he only focusing on hair growth water! Tony was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

At this time, Li Jie found Tony coming and greeted him in a casual tone: "Hey, Tony, good morning! Have you watched the news? There are many reports about you and our products. We think these news are beneficial to the sales and future development of our products." He also suggested, "By the way, how about being the spokesperson for the new product? Make an advertisement, which can save a lot of publicity fees. I think the nickname 'Bald Buster' is quite suitable for endorsement, what do you think?"

However, Tony was wearing an iron armor and had a face full of anger, but Li Jie didn't notice it. He continued, "By the way, the Internet has given you a new nickname: King of Cosmetics. What do you think? I think it's quite impressive! King of Cosmetics Iron Man! So cool!" Li Jie looked serious.

Tony suppressed his anger under the armor and said to Jarvis calmly: "Turn on all weapon configurations of the Iron Armor and release all safety locks. Start the tracking missiles and the Ark reactor will output at full power. Lock the target and ensure a single hit!" "Wait, sir, this is Nightwalker!" Jarvis thought Tony was being controlled, "Sir, please wake up!"

"I'm sober! Do as I say! I'm going to kill this bastard!" Tony's anger finally broke out!

Finally, Tony and Li Jie almost got into a fight. Tony had set all his weapons to firing mode, with the laser blast at maximum power. His abnormal behavior caught Li Jie's attention, but fortunately Li Jie reacted quickly and snatched the captain's shield to block a laser attack.

Otherwise, he might really meet Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Everyone thought Tony's mind was manipulated, but in the end it was confirmed that he was just mad. Because of Li Jie's rudeness, he almost lost control. Obviously, no one wanted this to happen.

Li Jie realized that Tony was angry about these nicknames and public opinion. After regaining his sanity, he apologized to everyone. Well, he had to apologize because he was pinned to the ground by the other four members of the Illuminati. Captain's shield broke one of Tony's arm armor, Li Jie pulled out the thunder knife and put it on Tony's neck, the professor used a telepathic shock to hit Iron Man, and Hank even kicked Tony with his big foot.

Logan experienced unprecedented pain and suffering. The Night Walker had not lied to him. Practicing Buddhism was indeed extremely painful. This pain was beyond Logan's expectations. For Logan, what the Night Walker said about walking on thin ice and treading on fire was not an exaggeration at all, and might even be an understatement.

He felt that the experience he was experiencing now was even more cruel and terrifying than going through fire and water. He sat cross-legged, cleared all distracting thoughts, and let his mind enter a state of tranquility and relaxation. This was simply too terrifying!

Wolverine's life is always full of movement, whether it's fighting, fleeing, or something else. Fast and intense, this is the norm in Logan's life. Quiet, relaxing, and letting the mind be empty? Sorry, what are these things to him?

Logan never understood the meaning of these words in his life! And his son Daken is almost the same. This guy has been living a high-pressure life for the first half of his life. Mariko's ruthless suppression and experiments have kept his mind in an extremely tense state, like a taut bowstring.

He may hurt others at any time, and even more likely hurt himself, which is what Logan is most worried about. So he found Li Jie, hoping to resolve the killing in his and Deacon's hearts through Buddhist practice.

At first, Logan thought that Buddhist practice was no different from any practice he had experienced before. But when the first thing Li Jie asked him to do was beyond his expectations, he changed his mind.

"Logan, put away your claws. Buddha said that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly. You can't do that." Li Jie put down the small statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and said.

“Now, go find a clean place and sit cross-legged. Then relax your mind and feel the tranquility of the Rocky Mountains.”

"Huh? What?" Logan suspected he had heard it wrong.

"Do as I say, Logan." Li Jie said firmly. Following Li Jie's instructions, Logan sat cross-legged with Deacon, trying to feel the damn tranquility.

Damn, my legs are numb, Logan thought. There are so many mosquitoes by the lake, the buzzing is so annoying! This is what Daken thought.

The smell of lake water and pine forests and freshwater bass distracted Logan.

The father and son spent every minute in agony. They only felt various trivial things and did not experience the so-called peace at all. This boring time passed so long. Logan and Daken sat with their eyes closed, feeling as if a million years had passed.

Li Jie only told them to remain silent after sitting cross-legged, as if he had entered into tranquility. Logan thought this was practice and had been enduring it. However, Wolverine's patience was limited, and he could not sit still for a long time. He couldn't do it, and neither could Daken, although he was determined to be a good example for Daken.

Well, let me see how the Night Walker feels the tranquility. Logan found an excuse for himself, quietly opened one eye and peeked at Li Jie.

However, Li Jie did not feel the peace as Logan thought. He was playing an elimination game on his phone, and it was in silent mode! Flash stood behind him, instructing him on how to play the game.

Jean and Razor-Eyes Scott were also watching them not far away, and further away, the other X-Men were also watching them, trying to experience tranquility as if they were killing X.

After Logan realized something was wrong, he stood up angrily and shouted, "Night Walker!" regardless of Li Jie's words of calmness.

Logan felt terrible that he had been fooled and embarrassed himself and his son in front of everyone.

Seeing Logan and Daken discover the truth, the other X-Men no longer suppressed their laughter. Many laughed out loud, as if they had just watched a wonderful show. Twinkle smiled and said to Li Jie, "It seems that you won the bet. He lasted ten minutes. Here is twenty dollars." Twinkle actually bet on the matter of Logan and Daken?

Logan's anger grows deeper and deeper, and the conversation between Jean and Scott adds fuel to the fire.

Jean put her arms around Scott's neck, rested her head on his shoulder, and laughed, "Wolverine is really a wolf, and sometimes he's not smart enough."

Scott's words were even more sarcastic: "Not smart enough? Jean, you're being too subtle. In fact, you could just call him stupid!"

An unprecedented sense of shame burned in Logan's heart. He felt that he had become a laughing stock from beginning to end. His hands were clenched and trembling, and the steel claws of adamantium stretched out unconsciously. And Deacon, who was even more unable to suppress his anger than Logan, stretched out his bone claws and rushed towards Li Jie. To Li Jie, the threat of this little wolf was not serious.

His attack method was too simple, and Li Jie easily kicked him away. This scene completely stimulated Logan. He was completely filled with anger and forgot that the person in front of him was his partner. Killing and anger filled his heart at this moment.

He swung his adamantium claws and pounced on everyone! Wolverine is not an easy little wolf to deal with, he is a real killing machine.

Seeing Logan's anger reaching its peak, Li Jie's mouth curled up into a smile.

......

Earlier,

"Do we really want to anger Logan? What's the purpose of doing this?" Qin put her hands on her hips and looked at Li Jie puzzledly.

"In order to make him completely angry. His anger is like toxins in the body. Only by letting it show will we have a chance to gradually eliminate it." Li Jie explained to Logan's teammates.

"Greed, anger, and obsession are three poisons that will work best only if all the anger in his heart is triggered for the first time. Because once it happens for the first time, he will be on guard. If you can't eliminate most of the anger the first time, it will only be more difficult later."

The X-Men didn't fully understand what Li Jie said, but they all agreed to cooperate in the end. After all, Logan was their most important comrade, so it was okay to pretend to make him angry!

Only Scott's attitude was ambiguous, and he did not make a clear statement. This was normal, after all, his relationship with Logan had always been bad.

The key to the problem is Jean. She is Scott's girlfriend, but Logan has a crush on her. Scott is tolerant enough to maintain a normal conversation with Logan.

Now asking him to cooperate in acting to eliminate Logan's anger is too much! Please let me prove that I am tolerant enough. It is not easy for me not to expose you!

Li Jie understood Scott's troubles, so he talked to him alone: ​​"Scott, do you know the Buddhist concept of emptiness of the four elements?"

"Not really sure," Scott answered honestly.

"Yes." Li Jie was silent for a moment and decided to explain in a more popular way: "To put it simply, if Logan believes in Buddhism in the future, he cannot get close to women, cannot get married, and cannot have feelings for women. He needs to cultivate his spiritual world wholeheartedly. As a teammate, I hope you can do your best to help him get through this difficult time."

Li Jie's tone was deep, like an elder's advice to a young man. Scott didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

As a young man entrusted with an important task by his elders, Scott immediately stated: "No problem! I will do exactly what you ask! I will do whatever you want me to do! I will help Logan embark on his Buddhist practice path smoothly!"

Li Jie nodded with satisfaction. He found that he seemed to have a talent for angering people.

......

When Logan rushed towards Li Jie with his claws waving, the real test had just begun!
