General Manager Zhao suppressed his anger, not daring to act out.

Seeing Xu Hao looking so confident from start to finish made him extremely uncomfortable.

Clearly, Dior had the massive advantage, they were undoubtedly going to win, so why was Xu Hao so confident?

Yet he didn't dare act out.

Daring to make a move in Xu Hao's territory would be suicidal.

He knew exactly what to do.

What he was engaging in now was legitimate business competition. Xu Hao definitely couldn't force him into submission through violence. Otherwise, Xu Hao's cosmetics brand would be severely affected, and its reputation would plummet.

After all, this conflict had already gained national attention.

To win this competition completely, there was only one method - that is, to outperform Suyi Cosmetics in the effects race.

General Manager Zhao said, "Chairman Xu, I need to set up a large screen here to show the live betting numbers."

"Go ahead," Xu Hao nodded slightly, then instructed his team and Secretary Xiao Mei to install the projector together.

General Manager Zhao then said, "To those who wish to place bets, you can log into our official Dior website. There is the most prominent betting section on the first page. You can place your bets directly there."

By saying this, he was effectively promoting the Dior brand once again.

In this era where traffic is king, traffic means money.

Although he wasn't a shareholder of Dior and couldn't directly profit from it, General Manager Zhao never missed the chance to train himself, and using Dior's website for betting was evidence of this.

For certain reasons, the betting was restricted to those within the banquet hall, and bets were placed anonymously.

He did this considering that this was Xu Hao's home ground. If it weren't anonymous, many people might still bet on Xu Hao, even knowing he might not win, but they wouldn't feel comfortable doing so.

While Dior would win a lot of money instantly, it would be highly detrimental in the long run.

Only a fool would offend so many people at once; he would have no future in Tiannan Province. Even his painstakingly built business network could collapse overnight.

Individually, these people might not be strong, not necessarily top-tier, and some might even be second or third-tier. But if their powers were combined, even the Peak-era Wu Family would retreat. Visit * (*) for more.

On the big screen, the bets for Xu Liu Group and Dior were climbing steadily.

However, it was clear that the bets on Xu Hao's side were just a few tens of thousands.

Meanwhile, the total bets on Dior had reached tens of millions and were rapidly approaching a billion.

A thousand times difference!

The three-minute betting window was tense and thrilling every second.

Most people believed that Dior was a big name and had initiated the challenge, indicating that they were likely to win, with a probability of at least 99%.

After all, if they lost this competition, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing face, but they would also lose their reputation!

An international giant in cosmetics, Dior, losing to a newly established small group would be shocking.

Therefore, everyone knew that Dior couldn't afford to lose this competition.

If they dared to propose the competition, it meant they were certain of winning!

General Manager Zhao looked at the screen and smiled, "Young Master Xu, the current situation doesn't seem favorable to you. Why not give up and admit that your product is inferior to ours? Dior is a top global cosmetics brand, losing to us is no shame at all.

Besides, there are so many consumers worldwide. Losing to Dior wouldn't mean your products won't sell, right?"

General Manager Zhao pretended to be considerate of Xu Hao, but was thinking: Foolish Xu Hao, don't agree with me, otherwise this competition won't meet my desired effect.

No matter what he was thinking, he had to say those words to show that Dior was a truly big company.

They had given the opportunity for Xu Hao to bow out gracefully, but if he didn't seize it, it wasn't their fault for being aggressive.

He knew Xu Hao would almost certainly not concede; it wasn't in Xu Hao's character.

Xu Hao smiled mildly, "Those little tricks are useless. A good product is the real deal. You want to ride the wave, to enhance Dior's influence in Tiannan by stepping on my and Chen Suyi's fame. You're thinking too much."

General Manager Zhao quickly responded, "Chairman Xu, you exaggerate. I must disagree. I'm only trying to protect the rights of consumers and prevent an unclear, dubious product from hitting the market directly."
