Su Yehao originally wanted to say there was no need to become an agent.

On second thought, he guessed Nong Qingying was too idle on weekdays. It wasn't often she found a business she was interested in, so it would be good for her to find something to do.

Therefore.

Su Yehao simply asked her:

"Do you have enough money on hand? If not, I can give you some. Although selling cosmetics and such is hard work, if you do it well, the profits should be pretty good."

"I think so. I contacted the SK-II headquarters and they said the three-year agency rights would be about twenty million Hong Kong dollars. This brand isn't well known in Hong Kong, let alone the mainland. I'm the boss, how could it be hard for me? The salesgirls at the stores are the ones who will have it tough. I should be able to rent shops in places like Harbour City and Times Square. So many businesses are going bankrupt this year."

Nong Qingying was the type who couldn't sit still anyway.

She had a position at Su Yehao's KOKO Ventures, but in reality, she wasn't busy at all, basically doing nothing.

Seeing that she had already contacted the company's headquarters, Su Yehao was even less inclined to stop her. He then told her, "If it's just a three-year agency, it seems a bit of a loss. What if you work your butt off to build up the brand's reputation, only to have the agency rights taken away in the end, or they reopen with a high price? Wouldn't you become a sucker?"

"...That sounds so true."

Nong Qingying began to space out and think about things. She finished the wine in her glass in one gulp, decisively shook her head, and said:

"No, no! Asking you was the right thing to do. I almost got swindled. Looks like I have to discuss it with them again. This company is currently owned by Procter & Gamble, but the management team is independent, so it's like a subsidiary. Since they want to expand the market, we should be able to talk."

Su Yehao chuckled and asked, "Do you like this kind of business?"

"What, yeah, I like it a lot. What woman doesn't want to take care of her skin? For example, I'm very willing to spend money on skincare products. Doing this kind of business is pretty profitable, right? It's also easy to succeed."/

"Oh, if you like it, then give it a try first and gain some experience. When I pull my money out of the American stock market, maybe I can buy this company. Then you can play however you want."

Hearing him say that, Nong Qingying exclaimed, "You're so good to me? It's completely different from your business direction, right?"

"I don't have a direction. I just do whatever makes money. Didn't you say women are willing to spend money? What if it succeeds? Then we can cooperate, you be the boss, and I'll lie down and wait for dividends."

Whether he earned a lot or a little didn't matter. Su Yehao never lacked moneymaking projects.

Women needed to be pampered.

As long as Nong Qingying liked it, it was no problem to invest more money in this industry. After all, he often saw the SK-II brand online, and most of its products were pretty good.

If Yin Liuli or Nangong Tian wanted to achieve something in their careers, Su Yehao would also be willing to pay for their dreams. Making money was for the sake of enjoying spending it. Being as rich as he was, there was really no need to worry too much.

Nong Qingying immediately perked up, wanting to learn about the market value of SK-II.

Su Yehao helped her make a call. After asking the consulting company, he learned that it was founded in 1975 and originally belonged to Japan's Max Factor company. But later, Max Factor was acquired by Procter & Gamble, so SK-II naturally became a member of the Procter & Gamble group.

Nowadays, it was considered a relatively marginalized company, with its main market in Japan and not much attention.

As for its market value, since it wasn't listed and no one had assessed it, it was difficult to give an accurate figure without investigating the financial statements.

He only heard that when Procter & Gamble acquired Max Factor in 1991, it valued SK-II at thirty million US dollars, plus three or four perfumes, also valued at thirty million US dollars. McKinsey Consulting didn't have the latest data either, as its scale was too small.

He casually placed an order, asking the people at the consulting company to help investigate its recent situation in detail.

Immediately afterward, Su Yehao began to do something truly meaningful with Nong Qingying, to pleasure his body and mind...

Jiang Yu was staying at home, and it would be easy for problems to arise if she didn't come home at night. He was most afraid of the news reaching Xiao Nizi.

Early the next morning.

Su Yehao returned from Mid-Levels to the villa in Big Wave Bay before she woke up. After strolling around the garden, he happened to meet Zhao Yimeng, who had come to find Jiang Yu.

Her family had a house on Barker Road, and the driver was driving a white Rolls-Royce.

Miss Zhao was in a good mood today, wearing denim shorts that exposed her long legs, and a blue short-sleeved top, with a baseball cap and sunglasses.

Seeing Su Yehao, she waved and greeted him, saying:

"Good morning, my parents made an appointment with your mother to go to the bank. Remember to take over the hotel and office building. The employees are worried about being fired and have already called my dad. They're all skilled employees, and I suggest keeping them all. It's not easy for them to find a good job."

"The hotel is running normally. Why would I mess with the employees? Just let the finance department handle the transfers. Do they have to do it themselves?"

After Su Yehao asked in puzzlement, Zhao Yimeng explained, "A small press conference was arranged. You know, the company doesn't have any money on its accounts, so it's a good opportunity to appease the creditors and shareholders."

"Oh, right. The Donghuang Central Plaza in Casino was also publicly promoted. It's really troublesome to be a listed company. You always have to consider the impact on the stock price."

After looking her over again, Su Yehao smiled and said, "You're dressed so beautifully. Where are you taking Jiang Yu to play? Can I come along?"

"Rare, if you're going to compliment someone, you should say a few more words. We're going to eat tofu brains."

"……?"

If it was eating tofu, Su Yehao would be very willing, but he didn't expect that they were really going to eat tofu brains.

Listening to them gossip was so boring.

Therefore, after eating, Su Yehao directly met up with his mother, then went to the hotel to take a look and discuss changing the name and signboard with the manager...

————————————

McKinsey Consulting has always cooperated with Procter & Gamble, so they were quite efficient.

They had just placed the order last night, and in less than twenty-four hours, they sent over SK-II's financial report for the past five years, as well as an asset valuation table.

In addition to analyzing the reports, the financial statements should have been obtained directly from Procter & Gamble.

This multinational group had as many as a hundred subsidiaries, and they were eager for someone to actively discuss cooperation and expand their influence, so they wouldn't hide the data.

The documents were faxed directly to KOKO Ventures.

Su Yehao made an appointment with Nong Qingying to go to the Venture Capital headquarters together. Considering that KOKO Venture Capital's Silicon Valley branch had already been put into use, it wouldn't be wrong to call it headquarters.

Before, they really couldn't squeeze out funds for external investment, so the employees of KOKO Venture Capital were in a relaxed and leisurely retirement state for a long time, only needing to handle some miscellaneous matters for Su Yehao.

Everyone hoped that their work would be easier, but it was quite difficult to endure being too easy. The daily working hours were especially long, and it was also not easy to achieve results.

Since there were no achievements, it was naturally difficult to get promoted and get a raise.

Therefore.

When they received this fax, the eyes of a vice president of the Venture Capital firm lit up.

Before Su Yehao and Nong Qingying could even get there, they had already organized a meeting to seriously study the situation of SK-II, thinking that work had finally come...
