Chapter 882: Only for Dreams
The contract stated the amount of Dream Come True’s investment and the proportion of shares, as well as the management of the company, operations, and construction of the factory. It even stated the study plans of Fu Zhuanhong’s two apprentices for the next five years. It also stated clearly that Fu Zhuanhong had given them a certain proportion of shares.
Moreover, Li Muyao’s company didn’t want the Fu Corporation’s formula. They only needed Fu Zhuanhong, the old perfumer, to guide the perfumer team hired by Li Muyao’s company.
As long as Dream Come True used the brand of Fu’s Hundred Year Fragrance, as well as the perfume that Fu Zhuanhong, Fu Yu, and Fu Jing developed in the future, they would be named after them or enjoy the naming rights. Once the newly developed perfume was successfully released to the public, it would be able to receive a 20% bonus from the perfume’s profits.
There were many other small details that were clearly written in black and white on the contract. In short, this contract was no different from giving money away for free in the eyes of the old lady, Fu Zhuanhong.
After all, Fu Zhuanhong was an old man who had truly experienced the passage of time. It was not as if she did not know anything.
It was precisely because Fu Zhuanhong knew so much that he felt that Li Muyao, this pretty girl, was really like a fool. She was willing to invest so many years in a business that might completely lose money in the future.
Yes, there was one more rule. Before any of the traditional perfumes of Fu’s Hundred Years Fragrance was officially released in large quantities, whether it was Fu Zhuanhong, the master, or Fu Yu and Fu Jing, the two apprentices, they could receive a salary every month to ensure their basic daily lives.
This salary was higher than many high-class white-collar workers.
“Of course, we have to invest. We’ve never thought about which project would be 100% profitable for the company before we invest.
Just like the few technology companies that our company invested in last year, their annual research and development expenses are more than ten million yuan, but the time they wait for their products to be developed is uncertain. It may take three to five years, or even ten years or decades. There is no possibility of profit.
However, it is precisely because of these emerging small enterprises that they need investors like us to support them. Even if it takes ten or twenty years to develop something useful to ourselves or the country, it would be worth it.
Not to mention Fu’s century-old incense, a century-old brand. Not to mention Sun City, even in the entire China, there aren’t many that can be preserved. I just wanted to do my part for this reservation. Even if I failed, at least I thought of a way to protect it.”Li Muyao knew that her words were a bit messy, but that was what she meant.
It was impossible for Li Muyao to not want to make money by investing in Fu’s Hundred Year Fragrance. However, she hoped that she could keep this perfume brand that had once been comparable to many foreign perfumes.
However, if she really couldn’t make money, Li Muyao also hoped to keep this century-old perfume brand in China. Even if it couldn’t be carried forward in the future, at least it wouldn’t really disappear completely from this world with the passage of time.
In her previous life, Li Muyao had heard that many century-old shops had failed to keep their businesses because they lacked money.
Perhaps it was because of the need for reform and innovation, but more importantly, there were more human factors. If you had money, even if the incense you made couldn’t get more people to like it, you could find a small audience and target this small group of people. You could still keep your brand going.
Of course, this required time, money, and effort.
And now, Li Muyao wanted to be such a person…It would be best if she could borrow Fu Zhuanhong’s professional ability to help the perfume team she invested in re-mix perfumes that were more popular with young people. If not, then he would launch the Fu’s Hundred Year Fragrance series on a large scale in the United States…China had a population of one billion, and there were always many people who liked perfume. It was also possible to snatch back some customers.
As long as there were sales, the real century-old brand would not disappear from the world.
“Yes, Master Fu. The reason why our company is called Dream Come True is because we hope to help those who need our investment and make their dreams come true.
What you want is to keep the brand of Fu’s century-old perfume and all kinds of perfumes familiar to more people in China and make our Chinese perfume famous. Then what we want to do is to make your dream come true. Even if it doesn’t make money, even if it’s a loss, after we work with you, we will definitely let you fulfill your wish.
“In short, if three or five years is not enough, we’ll do it for ten or twenty years. Even if we lose money every year, we’ll definitely help you fulfill your dream of preserving the brand for a hundred years. If it doesn’t come true, we won’t let go!”
Huang Yuying took over Li Muyao’s words and used the company’s most direct and direct company quote to express their sincerity and sincerity.
Yes, the Dream Come True company was to help these people who needed investment to realize their dreams!
It was these words that made the 69-year-old Fu Zhuan’s eyes redden. It was not easy to move a stubborn old lady.
Indeed, Fu Zhuanhong was touched by Li Muyao and Huang Yuying’s words. In the past few decades, many people had come to Fu Zhuanhong to buy formulas. After the reform and opening up, there were batches of people who came to her to invest and partner with her. There were too many people like this, so many that Fu Zhuanhong felt disgusted when she heard that someone wanted to invest in her Fu’s Hundred Year Incense.
If it wasn’t for the Yang family’s relationship, Fu Zhuanhong wouldn’t have really come into contact with Li Muyao’s Dream Come True Investment Company. After the contact, they chatted. More importantly, the employees of Li Muyao’s Dream Come True Company were especially attentive. They would investigate and collect all the history of the Fu family’s Hundred Years Incense.
He would also find Fu Zhuanhong, the last heir, to verify it…Even so, Fu Zhuanhong didn’t want to and didn’t dare to hand over the century-old Fu Corporation’s fragrance formula and technology. Even if it was for the sake of her old age and the future of her two disciples, Fu Zhuanhong was unwilling to let go.
After the employees of Dream Come True had been in constant contact with Fu Zhuanhong for nearly five months, Fu Zhuanhong began to make all kinds of harsh demands to Huang Yuying, the person-in-charge of Dream Come True. Just like what Fu Zhuanhong had said just now, if Li Muyao invested, she would have to be prepared to suffer a huge loss.
After all, the contract was drafted according to Fu Zhuanhong’s strict requirements that could make any investor turn around and leave after reading it. When Fu Zhuanhong saw such a contract, she suddenly wanted to persuade Li Muyao to withdraw her investment.
In the end, the purpose of Li Muyao’s investment was really not to make money, but to support and make the century-old brand of Fu’s Century Fragrance.
