Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Angel Investors
Customers are very satisfied with the sales of the beauty salon's new products. Although there are still purchase restrictions, they can still buy them if they want. Even if the effects are not as good as those of the products used in the beauty salon, the effects of these skin care products are beyond reproach. It turns out that anything produced by Boss Lin must be a high-quality product.
Without being chased by customers asking how to buy products, boss Lin Anran suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. As the boss, she would focus on research and development, and delegate other matters to her subordinates. She didn't need to keep an eye on the management of these things. The capable subordinates she hired at a high price were of excellent ability and good character. Lin Anran trusted her employees and would not employ them if she didn't trust them. Even if there were any problems in the future, the contracts she asked her employees to sign would be sufficiently secure.
The beauty salon is on the right track. Yuan Fei has been performing very well in the past few months. After Lin Anran's inspection, he asked her to temporarily take over the management of the beauty salon. Originally, Yuan Fei was in charge of the management of the beauty salon. Now that she brought this up, Yuan Fei felt a little more legitimate.
Yuan Fei was excited and thrilled when she received the appointment. She had a lot of dealings with Li Jia from the hair salon across the street and knew how Li Jia got to his current position step by step. She clenched her hands and reminded herself not to make any mistakes next time and strive to get a regular job as soon as possible.
"Don't be nervous, you are doing very well now." Lin Anran encouraged.
Yuan Fei subconsciously smiled at Lin Anran: "Thank you, boss. I will definitely not let you down."
Lin Anran nodded. She thought for a moment and said, "I won't mistreat capable people. With me, feel free to use whatever abilities you have. I'll take note."
"Yes, boss!" Yuan Fei's heart was pounding. Boss Lin was indeed the most generous boss she had ever met. Moreover, Boss Lin would affirm capable employees. If they made achievements, there would be real monetary rewards. That's right, Boss Lin was not empty talk at all. The rewards were real money and he would never fool people. So not only her, but also the employees of the beauty salon, everyone worked with all their might to make sure that all customers who came to the beauty salon felt at home. In addition, there was Li Jia, the person who "transformed from an employee to a boss", standing in front of them. Countless people envied and worked hard to improve themselves. There were many people who wanted to be the second Li Jia.
Lin Anran certainly knew some of her employees' thoughts, but she felt that it was just right. With competition and motivation, her little money would grow more and more. If someone was really capable of making a great contribution, she would definitely not be stingy with the money. But becoming the second boss of a beauty salon was definitely not easy. She currently had no plans to accept the partner's intention. After all, she was not short of money or formulas. Beauty salons and hair salons were different. She would decide what the future would be like in the future.
Watching Yuan Fei leave her office, Lin Anran lowered her eyes and thought. Now she had quite a few formulas in her hands, as well as a small factory. In fact, she could specialize in producing two skin care products, aloe vera gel and rose essential oil, and sell them. She would no longer be limited to selling these products in her beauty salon. However, if she really wanted to start a company to sell skin care products, there would be a lot of things involved. But even before she established the company, she could already foresee the future of her products selling well. In her previous life, if she had such a good skin care product, she would definitely buy it, even if she had to eat dirt.
While thinking, Lin Anran lowered her head to look through the research materials in her hand. This was a list of skin care products and companies on the market today that she asked Yuan Fei to collect. Since the country's reform and opening up, foreign beauty and skin care brands have entered the country one after another. There were relatively few in the past few years, but starting in the past two years, many foreign brands have entered the country and each has competed for the market. Some domestic beauty and skin care products have been acquired by foreign brands. Buyers prefer to buy foreign brands. Now "foreign brands are more fragrant". The domestic beauty market is not large at present, but in the future, the domestic beauty market will reach a scale of hundreds of billions. The domestic beauty market is a blue ocean to be developed.
The living conditions of Chinese people are gradually improving, and they are willing to spend money on beauty and skin care. She has such a plug-in, and she has been deeply involved in the field of skin care products. There is a bright future for her in the future.
Lin Anran continued to ponder. If she really wanted to expand production, she didn't have enough money. She could borrow money from the bank with her assets, but the risk was too great. She didn't want to exhaust herself, so she had to find an investor. This investor couldn't dictate anything to her or the company. Ideally, they could invest money and provide some benefit to the company. Lin Anran's face showed a hint of guilt. They talk about angel investors, but those who can actually be investors are not angels.
Hey, wait, Lin Anran suddenly remembered that she really had an angel investor around her - her boyfriend Zhou Heyuan.
In the original novel, Zhou Heyuan is the real angel investor of the male and female protagonists. No, not only the male and female protagonists, but also the angel investor of many bigwigs in the original novel. Zhou Heyuan has a very good vision. Although the projects he invested in are not 100% successful, most of the investment projects have brought him rich returns, as well as those connections. The bigwigs who have received help from Zhou Heyuan sincerely call him "Mr. Zhou".
Lin Anran wrote Zhou Heyuan's name on a piece of paper with a fountain pen, stared at it for a long moment, circled it with her pen, and tapped a few times on the back of it. If she and Zhou Heyuan weren't dating, she would have definitely approached him without hesitation to raise investment funds. If she missed out on Zhou Heyuan as an angel investor, where would she find another one? Angel investors aren't just any cabbage you can pick up at the market.
Thinking back to when she first came through time and was penniless, she learned from Aunt Li that her boss Zhou Heyuan was a stock god, and she even thought about asking the boss to teach her how to trade stocks. Well, let's not talk about the past. Now she doesn't need Zhou Heyuan's guidance. With the gift from her great-grandfather, she can pretend to be a stock god in the field of stock trading.
Lin Anran shook her head, put down her pen, and reached out to take the rose essential oil that she had casually placed on her desk. She opened the bottle cap, dropped a drop of rose essential oil on her palm, lowered her head and sniffed, and a light and pleasant rose scent filled her nose.
"Rose essential oil made from rose petals purchased from outside is also very good." Lin Anran whispered to himself.
She has set her sights on the domestic beauty market, but just as major foreign beauty brands can enter the country, why can't her skincare products be exported abroad?
Lin Anran's eyes were bright and dazzling, as if a light that could not be looked directly at. She took out a plan notebook and lowered her head to quickly write down the plan.
There was a safe shortcut available, so why would she choose the long way around it because of her relationship with Zhou Heyuan? Lin Anran didn't know if she and Zhou Heyuan would stay together forever, but now she knew they wouldn't separate, and that was enough.
Lin Anran simply started writing a project plan so that she could use it to convince Zhou Heyuan to invest in her company, hehe.
"Ms. Lu, long time no see. You look so radiant." Lin Anran was halfway through writing her project plan when Lu Honghui went to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to discuss cooperation. Now she came to her again. Lin Anran felt quite surprised. Although she would contact Lu Honghui from time to time because of Lu Shipping King's Clivia, the two had not seen each other for a long time.
Lu Honghui smiled warmly and said to Lin Anran, "You too, I know you've been doing very well in your career recently."
Lin Anran: "It's just a small fight, but everyone is showing their support."
"That's because the products in your beauty salon are of high quality," Lu Honghui praised.
Lin Anran was very happy and agreed frankly, saying, "I will never be modest about this. When it comes to massage techniques, my beauty salon cannot compare with some famous beauty salons. People are willing to come to my beauty salon to spend money because of the skin care products they use."
"Your beauty salons have quota limits, which makes many beauty salon owners feel relieved. If there are no quota limits and you open branches, other beauty salons will definitely not sit still." Lu Honghui said meaningfully.
Lin Anran's smile paused. She was not a newbie. She had encountered some troubles since the opening of her beauty salon, but they were all resolved in the end. Some of the troubles were caused by the two beauty salons near hers, but the owners of those two beauty salons did not find a breakthrough. They also heard that Lin Anran was not easy to mess with, and many of Lin Anran's clients were wealthy people whom they could not afford to offend, so they finally calmed down.
The two bosses didn't do anything wrong, so Lin Anran couldn't send them to jail. Now it's a matter of keeping to oneself, and whoever has the ability can retain customers. She heard that the two beauty salons had big discounts for a while, hoping to win back some of the lost customers. However, it was really hard to snatch customers from Lin Anran's beauty salon. The two beauty salons suffered heavy losses, and finally had to raise the prices back, but they failed to retain the customers they won back, and they were also criticized.
Lin Anran recalled all this in just two seconds. After she came to her senses, she said, "I opened the door to do business and welcomed customers based on my strength. If they are willing to run the business, they will always have some customers."
Lu Honghui smiled: "But the best customers are those who rely on your beauty salon, and I am one of them."
"Thank you," Lin Anran continued, blinking and smiling slyly, "You'll definitely not lose out if you become a client of my beauty salon."
Lin Anran's beauty salon is indeed expensive, but some beauty salons are much more expensive than hers. Compared with them, Lin Anran's beauty salon can be said to be mid-range. It turns out that she is a very conscientious boss. However, those super expensive beauty salons not only have first-class massage techniques, but also first-class environments, and the products they use are also effective. Her beauty salon has super-super-super-first-class products, and the rest can only be said to be average.
Lu Honghui asked Lin Anran casually, "Have you ever thought about opening a beauty salon in Hong Kong? Opening a high-end beauty salon requires all the necessary preparations, including site selection and renovation. I remember that the beauty salon you're running now is just a purchased shop."
"Yes, we bought it from someone else, did some simple renovations and opened it. Opening a branch in Hong Kong? I haven't thought about it yet." Lin Anran said with a smile. She and Lu Honghui got along well, but their relationship could not be said to be friends for the time being. If you had to say it, they were Party A and Party B, and Lu Honghui's identity and background were very complicated, so she didn't say the whole story.
Lu Honghui pondered for a moment and said, "I came to you today to discuss a cooperation."
Lin Anran felt like "it's finally here." She asked, "Oh, what collaboration?"
Lu Honghui tapped her knees with her fingers. She said slowly, "Ms. Lin, do you plan to set up a dedicated skincare company to manufacture and sell the products you sell in your beauty salon? I've used all of their products, and the results are excellent. I daresay that with just these two products, aloe vera gel and rose essential oil, your company could carve out a niche in the beauty market and even compete with major foreign brands. If you're planning to set up a company, I'd like to invest in you."
Lin Anran didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Lu Honghui took the initiative to deliver investment funds.
I just don’t know whether Lu Honghui is a real angel investor.
