Chapter 384 I Believe in Your Judgment
It would be a lie to say Nong Qingying wasn't tempted by Su Yehao's proposal.
The girl frowned, looking troubled for a moment, and asked, "Let me finish reading this, and I'll consider it before deciding. A business deal worth tens of millions of dollars isn't a joke if we lose money. Are you planning to buy it directly, or finance and take a portion of the shares?"
"Whatever works, it mainly depends on what you think."
Su Yehao seemed to be saying, "I'm okay with anything."
Investing in high-profit skincare companies, as long as it's done well, the profit won't be low. Women's money is indeed easier to earn.
The problem is that the management aspect is a headache. Like other physical businesses, it requires careful attention.
He certainly doesn't want to do such troublesome things himself. His future businesses are planned to focus on venture capital and private equity investment, only taking shares and enjoying the appreciation, avoiding getting involved in specific management as much as possible.
If Nong Qingying has no ideas, then Su Yehao certainly won't invest in this type of business. The profit cycle is too long, and there are many projects that are stronger than it.
Nong Qingying also knows that as long as she nods, Su Yehao will really take action.
Although he's usually unreliable, when it comes to business matters, there's no reason for him to run his mouth and make fun of her.
As a result, Nong Qingying became even more cautious. While looking at the report again, she said, "If it's just financing, I can barely come up with about ten million U.S. dollars without using your money. SK-II is backed by Procter & Gamble. Using their channels might be better than direct acquisition."
After hearing her, Su Yehao clicked his tongue and shook his head in opposition, saying,
"That's not necessarily true. Procter & Gamble does multinational business, and it has too many brands under its umbrella. It's troublesome to get resources. Moreover, P&G isn't Estée Lauder or L'Oréal; its positioning is mainly mid-to-low-end daily necessities. Look at SK-II's performance after being acquired by it. Its performance growth is not as good as in the 1980s, and its multinational business is progressing too slowly. It has been established for more than twenty years and is still operating in Japan and surrounding areas."
"...You're right."
Nong Qingying rolled her eyes at him and continued, "You clearly have your own ideas, so why are you asking me?"
"Once we acquire it, you'll be the boss. I can't do everything, can I? Otherwise, I might as well..."
"Invest in Yahoo, right? It's always this sentence. I know."
Nong Qingying interrupted Su Yehao and, after considering it again and again, still said without confidence, "I have no experience in managing this kind of company at all. Yahoo's stock price is indeed rising well. Otherwise, should we just leave everything as it is and not bother with anything?"
Su Yehao stretched and went to lie on the sofa in the office, smiling,
"You can't think that way. Everyone has a first time. SK-II has an existing management team, so taking it over should be relatively easy. Let's each put together some money, become shareholders together, and first ask about the price. Then we'll decide whether to invest based on the situation. If you don't have cash, I can lend it to you first."
Su Yehao said everything, so Nong Qingying had no chance to speak.
Honestly, she really wants to own a skincare company. Last time, when she accompanied Su's father for dinner in Si Jiucheng (Beijing), she was like a transparent person, shattering her "small wealth and contentment" mentality.
After being slightly stimulated, she thought about it and still felt she should do some other business.
As for the Yahoo that Su Yehao was thinking about, the stock price was rising again and again. From her perspective, she couldn't help but think it was almost at its peak.
Isn't that what most stock investors are like? They want to run as soon as the profit reaches their expectations.
Mainly because they have been repeatedly harvested by the market makers and trampled on by the financial crisis, they are really afraid. The more money they make, the more uneasy they feel, and it is difficult to be as calm as Su Yehao.
Hearing about borrowing money.
Nong Qingying asked him, "Can't you sell Yahoo stocks yet?"
"Of course not. Where are we? The number of Internet users has been rising, and the market space is getting wider and wider. It's still early, so it's better to get money from me."
As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking.
Vice President Lin Youfeng came to the door, knocked, and walked into his office, tentatively asking, "President Su, how's the document reading? McKinsey just called me again, wanting to know if there's an opportunity to cooperate."
Su Yehao looked at Nong Qingying.
This woman has too little experience in business. She hesitated and couldn't make up her mind and was still troubled.
Therefore.
He helped her make a decision and said directly to Lin Youfeng,
"Then have the people at McKinsey help me find out if Procter & Gamble is willing to sell SK-II, a complete transfer. If the price is right, it's okay to give the order to McKinsey. It's best to talk to the senior executives of SK-II first... Forget it, don't contact SK-II, they can't make the decision anyway, it's just a subsidiary."
A parent company has subsidiaries, and subsidiaries have subsidiaries, so it's reasonable to call it a granddaughter company.
After hearing this, Lin Youfeng almost laughed out loud and decisively replied, "Okay, President Su! I'll contact them now!"
Not understanding why he was so happy, Su Yehao originally wanted to ask, but since they were not too familiar, he simply swallowed the words that came to his lips and just nodded...
After Vice President Lin left.
Nong Qingying told Su Yehao, "You're too hasty, right? You just heard me say it's good, read a document, and decided to talk to them?"
Su Yehao couldn't explain why he was optimistic about SK-II, so he said to her casually,
"Because it's the career you like. Don't say forty million U.S. dollars, even if it's four hundred million U.S. dollars, I will firmly support you. As your man, how can I not have this awareness? I believe in your vision."
"..."
Hearing this, Nong Qingying was very moved.
Her dissatisfaction with Su Yehao on weekdays vanished at this moment, leaving only love.
Seeing his righteous and stern appearance, Nong Qingying's heart fluttered, and she was a little shy for no reason, bit her lip, and said, "If we fail, don't blame me. My vision is indeed good, otherwise, how would I have taken a fancy to you? I suddenly think you're more handsome than usual."
Su Yehao looked at her strangely.
It's enough to have Yin Liuli and Xiao Nizi obedient. Compared to this little woman's posture, he prefers the more carefree Nong Qingying.
If she had the aura of an older sister, that would be even better...
Although nothing has been decided yet, Nong Qingying felt that she should work harder, otherwise, how could she live up to Su Yehao's sentence "I believe in your vision"? She was instantly full of fighting spirit.
When looking for companies like McKinsey to help, they like to make full preparations before taking action, so it's difficult to get results for a while.
Putting this matter aside for now.
Su Yehao took the time to check out the quality projects found recently. As expected of the early days, there were still no projects that seemed to be successful. The small fish were too small to see any potential.
Even if the net was cast from the mainland to Japan and South Korea, there were only some online game companies that Su Yehao thought were worth paying attention to.
Just paying attention to them.
Many Internet cafes in the mainland are not even connected to the Internet. People go to Internet cafes to play single-player games, so they can't make much money...
