Chapter 881: Not for Money
For the sake of afternoon tea, Li Muyao didn’t eat much at noon. After all, the company’s work meals were delicious, but she was still a little tired of eating here every day. Moreover, Li Muyao had to maintain her figure for lunch, so she didn’t dare to eat too much.
Before Li Muyao followed Huang Yuying and Wu Yuanyuan out, she put on a new layer of light makeup that made her look almost naked. After all, he was meeting a legendary figure, so he naturally had to dress appropriately and cleanly.
On the way here, Li Muyao received a call from Yang Xin.
Soon, they arrived at the tea restaurant where they had agreed to meet for afternoon tea. Li Muyao and the others had been to this tea restaurant many times, mainly because the environment here was not like the traditional tea restaurant with a dining hall.
The main hall of this tea restaurant was separated by bead curtains and decorated into private rooms of various sizes.
It was very private, but it wasn’t that strict.
They could vaguely see the figures in the booth next door, but they did not disturb each other. It could be said that the design was quite similar to many coffee shops. Oh right, there was a piano worth more than 100,000 yuan in the middle of this tea restaurant.
In short, this tea restaurant was a bit nondescript, but it was also popular with young people. Of course, the reason why they had made an appointment here today was mainly because the old perfumer was close to here. He wanted to drink the refreshments of Old Yangcheng, but he was unwilling to go to overly lively places.
The only place that could satisfy the other party’s two requirements was this place.
The other places were much further away from here. After all, the old man of the Pearl River Building opposite Li Muyao’s company was not willing to go.
Not long after Li Muyao and the others sat down, Yang Xin came over with an old and a young woman. When she saw Li Muyao, she immediately smiled and greeted her gently,”Yaoyao, congratulations on the end of your college entrance examination. When the college entrance examination results are out, you must let us know. We’ll help you celebrate your admission to university.
This may be a great happy event must remember to inform us.
By the way, let me introduce her to you. She’s the perfumer I mentioned to you before, Master Fu. This was her eldest disciple, Fu Yu. She was 18 years old and had just finished her college entrance examination. Moreover, her results were very good. She should have no problem getting into Jin City University.
Yaoyao, maybe you two can even be classmates in college.
Grandma Fu, she’s the pretty girl that my sister and I have been praising. She was 20 years old this year, and her name was Li Muyao. She was from Sand City. She was the one who invested in my sister’s and my women’s clothing and children’s clothing store. She was the one who asked us to combine online sales with physical stores. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have the ability we have now.
Don’t worry, Yaoyao is really responsible in doing business. She’s willing to invest in your family’s perfume. In the future, she will definitely be able to continue the Fu Corporation’s century-old fragrance.”
Yang Xin directly introduced Li Muyao, the old perfumer Fu Zhuanhong, and the girl Fu Yu, and once again simply helped Li Muyao to gain a good impression of Old Madam Fu.
Indeed, before coming, Yang Xin had already told Fu Zhuanhong and Fu Yu about Li Muyao’s Dream Come True investment company. Yang Xin was trying so hard to recommend Fu Zhuanhong to cooperate with Li Muyao’s company mainly because of the wishes of Yang Xin’s elders.
Yang Xin’s family elders and Fu Zhuanhong were old friends, not to mention that Fu Zhuanhong’s Fu’s Hundred Year Incense was indeed the dream of the older generation in Yangcheng. If she were to continue to decline like this, Fu Zhuanhong, this old lady, would not be willing to accept it. Moreover, the two orphans that Fu Zhuanhong had adopted had grown up. Fu Yu was eighteen years old this year and had just taken the college entrance examination.
Based on Fu Yu’s amazing academic performance, Jin City University would definitely be a success.
The other disciple, Fu Jing, was also 17 years old this year. She would be in her third year of high school next year. Her grades had always been good, and she was even recommended by the school. However, Fu Jing didn’t accept it because she wanted to take the exam on her own and get good grades. Then, she would choose a university from the various universities in order to get a scholarship from a university and various preferential policies for the top scorers of the college entrance examination.
Fu Zhuanhong was already 69 years old this year, so her time in the future was getting more and more limited. If she still wanted to continue the Fu Corporation’s Hundred Years Fragrance brand and products, she had to make changes.
If she relied on her two disciples, the road she had to walk would be too long, too far, and too difficult.
After all, Fu Yu, Fu Jing, and the others were still very young and really liked and loved the fragrance industry. They were even very smart, but no matter how much they liked it, they could not beat the reality.
For example, Fu Zhuanhong’s perfume store, which was only seven or eight square meters, had average business. After all, the people who used perfumes now were all young people, and most of them were pursuing branded perfumes or even high-end luxury perfumes.
In short, Yang Xin and her family’s elders persuaded Fu Zhuhong to relent, accept foreign investment, and could sponsor her two apprentices to continue to study, and could even send them abroad to learn fragrance. Yang Xin and her family’s elders naturally hoped that they could talk it out.
After all, Fu Zhuanhong’s life had been too bitter. It was not easy for her to keep the Fu Corporation’s century-old incense until now.
“Yes, hello, Master Fu. My name is Li Muyao, the boss of Dream Come True Investment Company. I’m also the founder of the Fu’s Hundred Year Fragrance brand after Sister Xin recommended you to us.
The century-old perfume of your Fu Corporation smells really good. I like it very much. The female employees in our company also like it very much. It was said that it was not inferior to those imported perfumes at all. Especially after my colleagues and I discussed and understood the history of Fu’s century-old perfume, I felt even more that the century-old perfume brand that belongs to our country should not be buried by the quicksand of the times.
“Moreover, Dream Come True is willing to not participate in your perfume recipe. We just need you to help us give some appropriate guidance to the researchers in our research institute…I may not be too detailed. I’ll get our Manager Huang to sort it out with you one by one. Is that okay?”
The person in charge of this matter wasn’t Li Muyao, so naturally, she only knew the gist of it.
Therefore, more professional things had to be handed over to more professional people.
After Li Muyao finished speaking, Fu Zhuanhong nodded and took the presbyopic glasses from her eldest disciple. She listened to Huang Yuying and Wu Yuanyuan explain the various conditions and requirements of the cooperation while flipping through the rough written contract that Huang Yuying brought over.
Afternoon tea continued until dinner time.
Fu Zhuanhong finally put down presbyopic. He nodded at Huang Yuying and thanked her for her hard work before turning to Li Muyao.”Pretty girl, your company is offering very generous conditions. It can be said that your initial investment basically did not make any money or might even lose money. If you still can’t make more young people like our perfume in the future, it will definitely cause the investment to fail.
Even so, don’t you want the formula of our Fu’s perfume? Do you still want to continue investing in me, Fu’s Hundred Year Fragrance, and my two disciples?”
