If Flora Verba Group could do well with this batch of products, it could gain a strong foothold in the cosmeceutical industry.
In fact, the company’s future was looking bright, with its market value reaching over forty billion. Elektra had even received a five billion offer from an investor, intending to purchase ten percent of the company’s shares.
Elektra didn’t accept the offer, though. After all, she was certain that the situation would change drastically in a few days’ time. At ten in the morning, Roxanne was in her office watching the countdown on the online platform. The sale started as soon as the countdown ended.
In an instant, thirty thousand sets on one of the online platforms were sold out. Another thirty thousand sets on a different. online platform were also sold out within thirty seconds.
There were more than three hundred franchise stores all over the country, and the sales volume ranged from a hundred to five hundred products on the first day. An enormous crowd was seen queueing up outside every store, and as soon as the stores were opened for business, the consumers swarmed the stores.
Flora Verba Group’s flagship store in Horington, especially, was attending to almost six hundred customers at once, and the scene was simply shocking. Elektra wasn’t pleased when she arrived at the scene and saw what was happening.
However, she had to keep her act going, so she took a video of the scene and sent it to Roxanne. At the same time, the franchise stores were all calling her to order more products.
“Look at this, Roxanne! Those three hundred thousand units will get sold out in no time!” Elektra sent a voice message to Roxanne.
Roxanne was baffled after she watched the footage. I can’t believe how fast a good product sells out in the market! Judging by how things are going now, it seems like we’re really going to sell all three hundred thousand units within three. days! We’ll have to increase our production rate in the future!
Needless to say, Roxanne didn’t expect things to go so well. Linda, who was next to Roxanne, explained, “Dr. Jarvis, we’re currently in the era of personal media. A lot of consumers and influencers would give their reviews on the internet after using our products. Hence, the effect of word- of-mouth marketing is more prominent than ever!” Roxanne nodded in agreement.
“Of course, Ms. Lane must’ve promoted the products as well. Ms. Lane is such a great marketer!” Linda sang Elektra’s praises, and Roxanne couldn’t help but agree. In fact, Roxanne felt relieved to have agreed to Elektra’s business plan.
All the online platforms were supplied with a hundred thousand sets in total, and those products were all sold out within fifteen minutes, including the several thousand sets on minor platforms. The developers of said platforms never expected to garner this much network traffic within a day.
After all, they were all merely trying their luck by selling a few thousand units. Yet, they ended up making a huge profit. The sales results were outstanding that day.
Soon, the official website of Flora Verba Group released its sales report on that day, with a total of over one hundred and sixty thousand units sold through both online and physical stores.
The total sales revenue amounted to a whopping four hundred million. That very night, foreign cosmetic companies all conducted emergency meetings overnight to discuss countermeasures.
At once, Flora Verba Group began to capture the attention of many international investors.
Roxanne returned to the mansion that night, and the moment she stepped through the door, she heard popping sounds before colorful confetti flew everywhere.
After that, the three children walked up to her with bright smiles on their faces while holding a red banner. The banner read: Congratulations on achieving a fifty billion market value, Mommy!
Before Roxanne could react, Sonya and Elias approached her. Sonya handed her a bouquet of flowers while Elias gave her a congratulatory handshake. Subsequently, Lucian, dressed neatly in a suit, walked up with two glasses of champagne in his hands and gave one of the glasses to Roxanne.
“Congratulations, Darling! This is a mini celebration party our family has held for you! Cheers!” Lucian raised his glass to clink it with Roxanne’s.
“Come on, let’s take a photo to commemorate this moment! Roxanne, stand in front of the banner. Lucian, stand next to Roxanne. Kids, smile!” Elias instructed before using his camera to capture the heartwarming moment.
The kids were all jumping around and making funny faces for the camera. Roxanne then took a sip of the champagne and savored its fragrance.
Once they were done taking photos, Sonya was eager to show off what she had prepared. “Come on into the kitchen! I’ve cooked twelve dishes to congratulate Roxanne’s Flora Verba Group on hitting a fifty billion market valuation!”
The family enjoyed a pleasant dinner. Shortly after, Jonathan and Madilyn arrived with gifts. Madilyn gave Roxanne an expensive pen and urged Roxanne to start practicing signing autographs. After all, the latter was bound to attend all sorts of conferences that would require her to sign autographs in the near future.
Madilyn muttered, “It already took me a lot of effort to prepare your wedding gift, and now I’ve even prepared an extra gift to celebrate this occasion. You can’t complain because I really don’t know what else to give you!”
Roxanne nodded and smiled in response. “Well, you’ll have a lot more milestones to achieve in your future. I’ll prepare gifts for your engagement, your wedding, the birth of your first child, and everything else!”
“You’re right! But before all that could happen, I must first find myself someone to marry,” said Madilyn, stealing a glance at Jonathan. In response, Lucian and Roxanne immediately turned to look at Jonathan, too. Jonathan was startled upon meeting their gazes. Are they waiting to see my gift for Roxanne?
“Roxanne, I didn’t get to prepare much this time around, so I only got you this.” Jonathan slowly pulled out a piece of paper from a folder and presented it to everyone. Everyone at the scene was stunned when they saw Jonathan’s gift. That piece of paper read: Guinness World Records.
“Congratulations, Roxanne! You’ve broke a Guinness World Record. Flora Verba Group is the fastest corporation in history to reach a market value of fifty billion within forty days since the establishment of the company!” Jonathan congratulated Roxanne in a formal. tone.
Lucian was impressed by Jonathan’s creative gift. Although some of the Guinness World Records are actually ridiculous and extremely easy to achieve, it’s still rather impressive of him to get a certificate for Roxanne in such a short period of time. That shows how capable Jonathan is..
Needless to say, Roxanne was surprised. “I didn’t think I could achieve a world record! How interesting!” Madilyn, on the other hand, couldn’t help rolling her eyes. Only a rational man like Jonathan is capable of coming up with such an extraordinary gift.
Upon seeing the certificate, Sonya and Elias began applauding. “Congratulations on breaking a Guinness World Record, Roxanne!”
The kids followed suit and started clapping as well. “You’re amazing, Mommy! You’re the best in the world, Mommy!”
“A strong and independent woman is the prettiest!” Madilyn cheered as she clapped alongside Jonathan. Chuckling, Lucian also applauded enthusiastically.
Seeing how everyone was congratulating her, Roxanne suddenly felt overwhelmed by the praise she received.
Roxanne had a glass too many that night, so Lucian swept her off her feet and carried her into the room. However, Roxanne struggled in his arms and said she needed to take a shower before going to bed. She then got undressed in her drunken stupor and went into the bathroom on her own.
Lucian was worried that she might slip and fall, so he went in to check on her. Roxanne, with a dazed look in her eyes, ended up making a move on him, clinging onto the man like an octopus. Lucian was caught by surprise, but he gladly complied..
The next morning, Roxanne woke up with a terrible headache, and she felt as though her body was on the verge of falling apart. Looks like I had one too many last night and lost my memory. Did I come back to the room on my own? How did I take a shower?
As she was trying her best to recall what had happened the night before, Lucian came into. the room with a glass of warm milk. At the same time, he had an incomprehensible smile on his face. Although that wasn’t the first time they engaged in an intimate session, what happened the night before left Lucian wanting more.
