241: Qingling Cosmetics Group

After an in-depth discussion with Hoang Dang Minh Thu and Li Qinghe, Vu Linh Huong added two product tiers: one with a one-day efficacy and another with a three-day efficacy.

“By adding these two product tiers, I am confident I can increase our performance by another one trillion vietnamese dong,” Hoang Dang Minh Thu said to Vu Linh Huong, half-joking and half-assuring her.

The one trillion vietnamese dong she planned to add was equivalent to over 270 million dragon country currency, which was a remarkable achievement.

“Alright, Minh Thu, go ahead and do it. If there are any operational issues with the relevant departments, you know how to resolve them. As for the products, leave them to Qinghe.”

Vu Linh Huong smiled as she looked at Head Maid, who was her most trusted, capable, and understanding assistant.

Even when she was still in Hanoi, Vu Linh Huong had reviewed the daily reports from here.

Hoang Dang Minh Thu had been stationed in Saigon for a while, and she had organized everything meticulously.

The previously somewhat lax and chaotic management had also become rigorous.

Although Vu Linh Huong was not short of the money earned by the beauty salon here, adding a positively developing industry under her name was still very fulfilling.

After all, as a girl from the Wu Family, she might not necessarily develop in politics in the future, but under the protection of her brother Vu Van Nghia, developing in the business world was not a problem at all.

Thinking of this, Vu Linh Huong turned to look at Li Qinghe, who was sitting upright beside her.

Just going out for a hotpot meal, this man, who was about her age, had instantly walked into her heart.

Her trip to Saigon this time was to arrange all other work and specifically come to give her complete self to him.

As for what Vu Van Nghia had told her about family alliances and a two-year probation period, Vu Linh Huong had completely forgotten about it.

Vu Linh Huong only had a deep sense of crisis in her heart, because all the girls she had met, such as Nguyen Thi Linh, Chau Pham Thuy Anh, and Nguyen Thi Trinh, had already completely given themselves.

Vu Linh Huong knew that men were all fickle, but Li Qinghe seemed different from others.

He had never abandoned any woman by his side.

When she communicated with Nguyen Thi Linh and the others, she could feel the happiness and sense of security in their hearts.

Especially, according to Vietnamese custom, Nguyen Thi Linh, Li Qinghe's first girl in Vietnam, could be considered to hold the status of Da Mi Fan.

In Nguyen Thi Linh's heart, Li Qinghe was her everything, and she was willing to do anything for him.

Such pure love aroused Vu Linh Huong's competitive spirit.

As a noblewoman of the Vietnamese upper class, she had received the best of everything since birth.

After graduating from high school, she studied abroad in China, entering one of China's top universities.

But now, she and other women had fallen for Li Qinghe.

She did not believe, and was unwilling to believe, that her love for Li Qinghe was inferior to that of these eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls.

After a period of introspection, Vu Linh Huong decided to completely give herself to him; she would be tied to this man for the rest of her life.

So this time, she traveled thousands of miles from Hanoi to Saigon, far away from family and friends.

Originally, she had not given much thought to career matters on this trip.

However, she did not expect Li Qinghe to suddenly produce a beauty product called the Youth Restoring Cream.

Out of trust in Li Qinghe, Vu Linh Huong decided to promote such a beauty product in all her beauty salons.

She also had Hoang Dang Minh Thu arrange the product sales and the sales commission with Li Qinghe.

She kept only thirty percent of the profit for herself, returning the other seventy percent to Li Qinghe.

Although she knew Li Qinghe had made some money from videos, she also knew that he did not have too much cash on hand.

Vu Linh Huong felt that doing this could effectively help Li Qinghe earn more money.

However, after hearing Hoang Dang Minh Thu's report on the use of the beauty product today and personally verifying its effects, Vu Linh Huong changed her mind.

Through the effects she witnessed firsthand, she could already see a powerful cosmetics empire rising.

Vu Linh Huong decided that once her beauty salons had fully rolled out these products and achieved excellent results, she would begin building a cosmetics factory.

She wanted to help Li Qinghe promote the products worldwide.

Upon hearing Li Qinghe say that only he could produce the product's raw solution, and that it didn't even require a patent application, Vu Linh Huong was even more pleasantly surprised.

The most profitable business in the world was an exclusive business.

Since only Li Qinghe could produce the product's raw solution, she would help him eliminate all commercial risks.

This was especially true for Western countries, which were accustomed to being robbers and thieves not only in terms of military force but also in business.

Vu Linh Huong suddenly found herself with more things to do.

She wanted to assemble a powerful business team and legal team to comprehensively manage this venture, which would be centered around Li Qinghe.

Therefore, she excitedly shared her idea with Li Qinghe: she wanted to establish a China-Vietnam joint venture in Vietnam, from which they would expand to the world.

“A Xiang, the business management side will be up to you. I’ll just come back periodically to formulate the product’s raw solution.”

Li Qinghe maintained his hands-off approach; he didn’t want to get bogged down in overly complex business operations.

To put it bluntly, Li Qinghe simply didn't want such matters to interfere with his enjoyment of food, drink, and entertainment.

However, for Vu Linh Huong, many things were done as soon as she thought of them.

In her excitement, she immediately called several lawyers, and right there in the beauty salon, they began drafting the equity distribution for this cosmetics company, which was destined for limitless prospects.

Ultimately, a very unusual equity distribution plan was settled upon, with Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong each holding 50% of the shares.

Li Qinghe provided the technology, while Vu Linh Huong provided the capital and personnel.

Vu Linh Huong initially wanted to name the company Xianghe Cosmetics Group Company.

But Li Qinghe couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Vu Linh Huong was initially puzzled.

It was only when Li Qinghe reminded her that she recalled there was a place near the capital of China called Xianghe, famous for its Xianghe meat pies.

So, amidst laughter, the company name, which was full of meaty connotations, was rejected.

Finally, a character was taken from each of their names again, forming a ethereal name: “Qingling Cosmetics Group Company.”

Vu Linh Huong’s ambition was enormous; the company she aimed to rival was L'Oréal of France.

A good company must first be able to tell a brand story.

As a product that uses pure natural plants as cosmetic raw materials, Vu Linh Huong's thoughts were very far-reaching.

She even considered the trade barriers from relevant countries that might arise in the future due to raw materials.

The main raw materials Li Qinghe used to make the Youth Restoring Cream were green tea, licorice, and aloe.

Although black tea plantations are found all over the world, the main production areas for green tea are concentrated in China.

And while licorice resources grow throughout Eurasia, for example in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Outer Mongolia, these are mostly scattered wild resources.

The ability to supply on a large scale is also concentrated in China.

To guarantee worldwide quality supply, one must have independent plantations.

Only aloe, a resource that grows worldwide, is an exception.

Vu Linh Huong had an idea to use aloe for corresponding promotions.

For products sold in any country, the aloe from that country would be used as a raw material additive.

Furthermore, a special plot of land would be set aside in that country specifically for cultivating the local aloe.

This way, the products manufactured by Qingling Cosmetics Group would effectively bear the protective label of a local brand.

They say that when inspiration strikes, there's no stopping it.

Vu Linh Huong poured immense passion into this Qingling Cosmetics Group.

It was only when she relaxed and sat in the boss's chair that she realized it was almost dark, and Li Qinghe had also worked with her all day.

So Vu Linh Huong's role-switching was very quick; after all the lawyers had left, she quickly stood up and took Li Qinghe's arm.

“Qinghe, I'm sorry, I got too absorbed in work. Tonight is just for the two of us.”
