Chapter 931: Chapter 931: Giving Shares
"Alright then." Tang Yue no longer competes for attention, feeds the baby, and then hands over the care to Mo Xiaolin.
"Sister Xuan, what do you think of this proposal?" Tang Yue returns to the living room to find Lian Qingxuan still reviewing the proposal, with two heads peeking over.
One belongs to Lian Qingzhi, the other to Lian Qingling.
Meanwhile, Lian Qingyang is lounging with his legs crossed, playing a game.
Lian Tong sits nearby watching TV, snacking on pine nuts. She doesn’t like it when the house feels lonely; even listening to them chat makes her feel that life is joyful and fast-paced.
Old Sir Lian, on the other hand, busies himself with the flowers and plants in the yard.
"I think it’s perfect." Lian Qingxuan answers without hesitation, "However, developing new products can be a bit troublesome."
Lian Qingxuan has been working on the beauty cream for two years now, without much progress. Previously, she didn’t understand the reason, but now she finally knows.
However, the formula for the beauty cream is inherited from their ancestors, and it’s the only cream they have; there are no other products yet.
Developing new products is not an easy task.
"Sister Xuan, if you truly intend to pursue this line of work, product development is indispensable," Tang Yue says seriously, "Unless you opt to use someone else’s brand, you’ll need to develop more products yourself."
"No, I won’t use other brands." Lian Qingxuan shakes her head, firmly believing in the Qingmeiren brand. She’s already registered the trademark and applied for patents. She refuses to believe that she can’t hire people to develop products even if she spends money.
"That’s right, while it might not be possible to start operations or earn money right away, with hard work, sharpening the axe won’t delay the work of cutting firewood, right?" Tang Yue is optimistic about skincare products; as long as they’re natural and harmless to the skin, plenty of people will buy them in the future.
Skincare is definitely a lucrative industry. Especially starting early, with proper management, it might not become an international top-tier brand, but even becoming a leading domestic brand would be excellent.
"Alright, I’ll follow your advice." Lian Qingxuan is more determined, saying, "Xiao Yue, I’ll allocate you ten percent of the shares."
"No." Tang Yue declines, "Sister Xuan, I have many tasks on hand, and no time..."
"Xiao Yue, you’ve helped me with such a good plan and proposal. Allocating you ten percent of the shares is deserved," Lian Qingxuan smiles and asks, "Are you worried I won’t make money?"
"Of course not, precisely because I know you’ll earn money in the future, I can’t accept it," Tang Yue says frankly. She believes not earning something without merit, and since Lian Qingxuan is her cousin, there’s no need for further discussion.
"Don’t worry, I have savings. Even if there’s development, you don’t need to invest more money," Lian Qingxuan says boldly, hesitating for a while before admitting, "Honestly, Xiao Yue, I’m allocating you ten percent of the shares not just because you helped with this proposal, but also because there’s a lot to do in the future, and I want to find someone to help."
"Helping is okay." Tang Yue nods, silently thinking that helping shouldn’t mean receiving shares.
Although it’s only ten percent, once Qingmeiren grows over time, the dividends will also increase.
"Xiao Yue, now those ten percent shares aren’t worth much yet. After I develop the products, I’ll need your ideas for what’s mentioned in the proposal," Lian Qingxuan says cautiously, afraid Tang Yue might disapprove.
"If you don’t agree, I won’t feel comfortable asking for your help." Lian Qingxuan’s words are direct, strongly implying that Tang Yue must agree.
Tang Yue thinks for a moment, "How about I invest in one percent?"
As soon as she finishes speaking, Lian Qingxuan glares at her. Despite being gentle in appearance, even when angry, her round eyes lack any intimidating power. She says, "Xiao Yue, forget it if you don’t want to help."
"Sister Xiao Yue, Sister Xuan has money. When she got married, Grandpa gave her plenty of private funds," Lian Qingzhi says playfully, "Both Qingling and I have ten percent shares each, and we didn’t pay for them."
"Yes, Sister Xiao Yue, we’re sisters, and you’re capable of helping. Qingling and I don’t know anything," Lian Qingling shrugs.
Initially, they casually invested some money and acquired ten percent shares each. Apart from being busy during the opening, Qingling and Qingzhi have left most of the responsibilities to Lian Qingxuan.
Despite having ten percent shares, they haven’t received any dividends yet. Rather, they can grab the beauty cream whenever they want.
"That’s right, Xiao Yue, even though there’s no money now, in the future, we’ll definitely earn," Lian Qingxuan confidently states about Qingmeiren, "Don’t worry, I have plenty of private funds. Within six months, hiring a development team should yield results, and I’ll rely on you for help then."
"Xiao Yue, if you don’t agree, I won’t feel comfortable frequently asking for your assistance," Lian Qingxuan holds Tang Yue’s hand, clarifying her stance.
If Tang Yue keeps refusing, it will be inappropriate, so she agrees to help out during sales in the future.
Lian Qingxuan happily acts like a child, saying, " I’ll transfer the shares to you tomorrow, and we can sign a contract to be more formal. Also, since you’ve mentioned it, I need to start a company and establish a factory."
Lian Qingxuan, excitedly, paints a picture of a wonderful future.
Tang Yue suggests that they find a suitable location for the factory, then proceed to acquire the machinery. The main priority is to develop the products first.
"By the way, Sister Xuan, the products must be all-natural. Many toxic components, although effective, can cause skin discomfort. Additionally, some components can have health impacts if exceeded," Tang Yue recommends, emphasizing quality from the start for the product’s long-term growth.
"Xiao Yue, how could harmful substances be added to skincare products? That’s harmful!" Lian Qingxuan says, looking at Tang Yue with disbelief, not understanding why she’s concerned.
Moreover, certain clearly prohibited substances should never exceed the limit; otherwise, it’s no longer skincare—it’s harming people.
Tang Yue awkwardly touches her nose, insisting her concerns aren’t unwarranted. Some beauty companies in later years add random components into skincare and cosmetics for better effects, which isn’t an isolated phenomenon.
Though others aren’t Tang Yue’s concern, as long as she has a stake in Qingmeiren, she’ll ensure their skincare products are free from any harmful components.
