"Yunyi, come with me." Yu Jing interlocked her lover's fingers, brought him to her two younger brothers, and said generously, "Let me introduce, this is your prospective brother-in-law, Qin Yunyi."
Yu Jing looked at the two younger brothers, omitting those complicated family relationships, and said briefly, "Yunyi, this is Nanchuan and Huaining."
"Hi, it's our first time meeting." Qin Yunyi stretched out his right hand.
"Hello." Nan Chuan nodded and shook hands briefly.
In the next second, the hands with sharp knuckles were in front of Yu Huaining's eyes.
A trace of subtle scrutiny fell, and when she looked up at each other, Qin Yunyi still smiled modestly and politely.
But Yu Huaining could feel that this smile was cold and hypocritical.It's like a well-camouflaged poisonous snake clinging to the grass, but occasionally it can't help spitting out snake letters, casting a sinister light.
Qin Yunyi raised his hand for a long time, but got no response.
Yu Jing and Nan Chuan whispered at the same time, "Huai Ning, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Yu Huaining came back to his senses, showing a faint smile.
It was the first time for the two to meet, so it was really impolite to make such an unfounded guess.What's more, this person is Yu Jingming's fiancé.
Yu Huaining had no choice but to stretch out his palm, "Hello."
The other party's big and powerful palms covered them, squeezed them together, and pulled them away. At the end, the fingertips of the two seemed to touch for a moment, and the sticky feeling rushed straight to the bottom of my heart.Yu Huaining frowned unobtrusively, it was indescribably weird.
The fight between the two lasted only two seconds, but he could almost be sure that Qin Yunyi was just an empty-headed guy!
"Sit down, what do you want to eat?" Yu Jing affectionately pulled her fiancé to sit down.
Yu Huaining didn't want to disturb them, but he still couldn't forget the uncomfortable feeling of touching his fingertips for a short time.
Could it be that after getting along with a man for a long time, he also learned his cleanliness?Thinking about it, Yu Huaining took a sip of red wine depressed.He endured it again and again, but he got up and said, "Cousin, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay, let's go."
Yu Huaining got the answer and left quickly.
Qin Yunyi glanced at his back, and said calmly, "Xiaojing, can you order some for me? I'll go wash my hands."
"Okay." Yu Jing still responded gently.She is a straightforward and flamboyant person. Only in front of her lover will she let go of all her efforts and be willing to be a little woman.
Yu Huaining washed it vigorously with hand sanitizer, and only then did he feel much better.Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Qin Yunyi's figure printed in the mirror.The latter walked to the sink next to him, looked at the young man's handsome face through the mirror, "I have heard the name of young master Yu for a long time."
Yu Huaining unconsciously showed alertness, and the redness at the end of his eyes added another tinge.
Qin Yunyi revealed a hint of interest in the conversation, and said, "You Yu family siblings really look alike, when your sister and I met for the first time, she looked at me with such vigilant eyes."
"But it didn't take long for her to become my lover."
"Mr. Qin, you seem to be very proud?" Yu Huaining wiped his hands clean and walked over firmly, "Your fiancée Yu Jing was a small and successful incense maker five years ago. What's even more amazing is that she was born It's the daughter of Liucheng Yu's family..."
Qin Yunyi's eyes changed slightly for a moment, but soon stabilized again, "Of course, I have always been proud of her."
"Really? Do you really have other plans for getting close to her? You are also from a wealthy family in Liucheng, so who doesn't know how important the five words 'Miss Yu' contain?"
Not to mention, Yu Jing just made up her mind some time ago to return to China to manage the company.
Qin Yunyi's expression of relaxed talking and laughing froze completely, and it took him a few seconds to regain his composure, "Master Yu's hostility towards me is a little puzzling?"
"Really?" Yu Huaining laughed suddenly, sweeping away the previous sharp aura, "Mr. Qin, don't you know that some younger brothers are born to protect their older sisters?"
He took a half step back and said with an excuse, "You can think—I suspect that you have bad intentions for my sister's approach."
"You don't worry too much. We have been dating for five years and we have hardly quarreled. We are very affectionate." Qin Yunyi lowered her eyes and fiddled with her flat cuffs seemingly inadvertently.
But Yu Huaining knew that some people would subconsciously make useless movements when they were nervous.
"The most important thing is that I have my own business." Qin Yunyi regained a bit of confidence when he said this, "I wonder if Young Master Yu has heard of me in country F..."
"Mr. Qin's reputation, of course I've heard of it." Yu Huaining crumpled up the waste paper towels in his hand and casually threw them into the trash can, "Since it's as you said, please treat my cousin well."
When Qin Yunyi heard this, he naturally took the youth's hostility as an act of 'nursing sister'.
I heard from Yu Jing that she got along very well with this cousin before going abroad?
Qin Yunyi stared at Yu Huaining's youthful and handsome face, and thought to himself—you said Young Master Yu was young and promising, with a strong aura?Now it seems that it is nothing more than that.I'm afraid the so-called 'promise and aura' all depend on the backer behind him, Shizheng?
Thinking of the relationship between the two, Qin Yunyi's eyes deepened.
"Let's go first." Yu Huaining held back his displeasure, and left.Due to Yu Jing's affection, he naturally couldn't get angry at Qin Yunyi for no reason.
……
Yu Huaining walked back to the dining table, Yu Jing and Nan Chuan siblings were chatting happily.
"Huai Ning, are you back?" Yu Jing noticed him and looked towards the bathroom again, "Did you see Yun Yi? Why did you go in for so long?"
Yu Huaining pretended to glance at the time, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Cousin, I have some things to attend to this afternoon, so I have to leave first."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Yu Jing was surprised, "You haven't had dinner with Yun Yi yet."
It's him who hides.
Yu Huaining thought to himself, lowering his eyes to prevent others from seeing through his true thoughts.
"Sister, Huaining has a lot of things to do, wait until next time." Nan Chuan took the initiative to speak for his friend, he vaguely saw the reluctance of the other party, and had some subtle thoughts in his heart, "...I also want to meet a client this afternoon .”
"That's it, okay. Let's make an appointment next time when we're free." Yu Jing didn't forcefully stop her. Her invitation came out of the blue, and it was already a great deal of face for her brothers to come here.
"it is good."
When Qin Yun translated it, Yu Huaining and Nan Chuan went downstairs.He looked at the figure that disappeared around the corner, with a slight regret in his eyes, "...how did you go?"
"Oh, Xiao Chuan and the others have something to do." Yu Jing captured his subtle emotions, "What's wrong? You seem disappointed?"
Qin Yunyi quickly smiled and said, "Did you bring your homemade perfume? Didn't you say you want it as a gift from them?"
Yu Jing's attention was diverted instantly, she patted her forehead and said quickly, "I almost forgot!"
"It's inconvenient for you to wear high heels, may I chase them for you?" Qin Yunyi suggested thoughtfully.
"No! I'll go in person." Yu Jing hurriedly blew a kiss to her fiancé, "Honey, wait for me."
Qin Yunyi showed a very doting smile, "Be careful."
"it is good."
Then the red dress went downstairs with the sound of landing.Only then did Qin Yunyi put away his smile and return to the dining table.
"...Yu Huaining?"
He muttered the name in a low voice, his eyes darkened.After a few seconds, he smiled softly.
……
"Xiaochuan, Huaining! Wait for sister!" Yu Jing rushed over with two bags.
Nan Chuan was afraid that she would fall, so he quickly set out to meet her, "Sister, slow down."
"You two have really long legs, I almost couldn't catch up." Yu Jing stopped in front of them and took a few breaths.She handed over the bag that she held firmly in her hand, and said slyly, "Take it, my sister will give you your treasure."
"What's in there?"
Yu Huaining and Nan Chuan are alone.
Yu Jing opened her cousin's bag nearby, and took out a transparent and simple glass bottle. Under the hot sun, the quicksand-like perfume blue liquid in the bottle looked particularly good.She shook the bottle slightly and sprayed it on the tops of the two of them, and instantly a light scent of sea salt came over.
It makes people feel like they are on the seaside in summer, and the smell of the sea breeze blows when they close their eyes.
"Does it smell good?" Yu Jing asked seriously with light in her eyes.
"My new privately developed men's perfume, unfortunately, before I applied for distribution, the old man called me back to the country." She paused, shrugged and sighed, "I don't think it's been three or five years. I can't leave Yu's sea of suffering, so let me give this gift to you first."
"Thank you, cousin." Yu Huaining took back the perfume bottle with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Yu Jing has an absolute talent in the development of perfumes. People like him who don't like to use perfumes feel that the smell is elegant and refreshing.It looks like it is drifting away with the wind, but the fragrance actually lasts for a long time.
"Okay, then I'll go back first, Yunyi is still waiting for me." Yu Jing waved to the two younger brothers, and left with a smile, "Be careful on the way."
Yu Huaining stared at the back of Yu Jing leaving happily, and raised his head to meet the tall figure by the French window on the third floor, his originally curved lips tightened into a line again.
In the original book, Qin Yunyi and Yu Jing had an ugly quarrel on the eve of the engagement banquet, which became an after-dinner joke in Liucheng, causing the latter to become depressed!
It's a pity that the time in the book is written around the hero and heroine.There are not many supporting roles such as Yu Jing and Qin Yunyi.Therefore, Yu Huaining had no way of finding out what went wrong between the two of them, which led to the breakup.
Although the current development has deviated from the track of the original book, he secretly feels that Yu Jing will still suffer a lot from Qin Yunyi!
But the first time the two sides met, it was really not suitable for Yu Huaining to 'destroy the stage' with nonsense.One is her fiancé whom she has been dating for five years, and the other is her cousin whom she has not seen for many years...With no evidence, how could Yu Jing easily believe his warning?
"Huai Ning, what's the matter?" Seeing his friend's unusual silence, Nan Chuan asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with Qin Yunyi?"
Yu Huaining shook his head, "No, don't think too much about it."
For some things, we still have to wait for evidence to be found before making plans.
"By the way, Nanchuan, the 'business' I told you before is still in the stage of planning. Let's discuss it in detail when we have time."
"Okay." Nan Chuan nodded, "Where are you going?"
"Look for Shi Zheng to talk about something." Yu Huaining said bluntly, his friend probably guessed his relationship with the man long ago, so there is no need to cover it up.The system has sorted out the information of several companies, and he is planning to discuss with the man.
Sure enough, Nan Chuan nodded calmly, without any surprise, "Okay, see you next time."
"Ah."
……
Yu Huaining walked to Shizheng's office with ease, and the man just finished his work, and it was rare for him to lean on the sofa leisurely and taste the red wine.
"Looks like I'm always busy?" Yu Huaining approached with a smile, took out his phone and sent the content of a systematically organized document, "Find someone from the market research department to help me analyze these three brand companies."
Young people have never been sloppy when it comes to making demands.
"Let me see." Shi Zheng picked up the electronic screen on the table, and suddenly heard the young man hum again, "I'm thirsty."
There was clearly sober wine on the table, but he seemed too lazy to pour it.
Seeing his burning eyes, Shi Zheng simply passed over the red wine in his hand, "I just took a sip."
"I don't mind." Yu Huaining smiled lowly, he had long forgotten about the so-called 'cleanliness', he drank the mellow wine, and then let out a satisfied sigh, "It's still in Mr. Shi's collection. The most authentic wine taste."
Shi Zheng stared at the names of the three brands on the screen, and thought of the young man's question in the car before, and immediately had the answer, "Do you want to be a makeup brand?"
——Who is the most continuous and easy-to-spend audience in the world?
--female.
In addition to daily expenses, modern women know how to spend money to manage and maintain themselves.
"Not all of them." Yu Huaining wanted to target the female consumer group, but he didn't intend to focus only on the 'cosmetics' segment.Most of the Huaguo market is occupied by foreign brands, leaving little room for domestic brands to survive.
It is not easy to independently develop products, let alone run a brand new brand from scratch?
Shi Zheng thought about it for a while, and said something wrong, "You want to buy an old domestic brand, and then take the opportunity to replace it with your own products to enter the market?"
"There is such a plan." Yu Huaining nodded.
"Okay." Shi Zheng nodded, and called the work assistant to give orders.Not long after, the other party led a professional woman in her 40s into the room, "Mr. Shi, this is the new supervisor of the research department. It just so happened that she was in charge of the national brand of cosmetics in the previous company."
The supervisor's name is Lin Xia, and she has neatly cut short hair.Although it was the first time she met Shi Zheng, the boss, she didn't have the slightest timidity, "Mr. Shi, what do you need me to do?"
"Director Lin, please take a look at these domestic brands and see if you are familiar with them?" Yu Huaining took the tablet from the man's hand and handed it over. He glanced at the silent man and said calmly, "Mr. Shi Want to buy the most cost-effective brand."
When Shi Zheng heard the last sentence, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
As soon as Lin Xia heard that it was the boss's order, she immediately became serious.She has honed in domestic beauty brands for nearly ten years, so she is naturally familiar with the contents of the existing market.In less than a minute, she began to introduce them one by one.
"Mr. Shi, this first 'O'Kelly' first made its fortune by selling foreign brands. To put it simply, it is a middleman who earns the price difference. It is the first batch of purchasing agents. About seven years ago, they They started to develop their own products, to put it bluntly, by 'imitating' foreign big names."
Yu Huaining raised his eyebrows slightly, and pointedly pointed out, "Imitation? Is it plagiarism?"
"Yes, but they don't dare to plagiarize clearly. There are quite a few petty thefts. Due to insufficient evidence and the difficulty of fighting cross-border lawsuits, they have always gained the upper hand." Lin Xia stated calmly. Such 'brands' are extremely disdainful, "They have never been able to be original, and the imitated products are far less easy to use than the real big brands, so the market sales have been declining for three consecutive years."
Shi Zheng pretended to cooperate and nodded, "Where's the next one?"
"Baihuajin is an old domestic brand with a history of more than 80 years. Like its brand name, it mainly focuses on the beauty effect of natural flowers. In the era before the Internet, offline sales have always been among domestic brands. Number one or two."
"What now?" Yu Huaining asked.Since this brand can be selected by the system, something must have happened.
"It is said that their process of refining pollen and flower juice is very complicated and costly, so the price of the products they make is naturally high. Later, online sales became common, and foreign big brands were also easy to buy. Shi Zong and Mr. Yu are men, maybe I don’t know much. But with the same price of well-known foreign brands and domestic brands, most women will follow the trend and choose the former.”
Lin Xia searched for a piece of news on her tablet, and handed it back, "Mr. Shi, take a look. This is the real reason why the reputation of the Baihuajin brand has plummeted."
Yu Huaining leaned closer to the man's side and took a quick glance. This was old news three years ago, "In order to reduce production costs, Baihuajin added flavor chemicals?"
"Yes. Many consumers have skin ulcers to varying degrees, and then jointly complained." Lin Xia will tell the truth when she learns the truth, "Although the person in charge immediately made an apology and compensation , but lost consumers can no longer come back. And new consumers will naturally hold a certain degree of distrust because of this.”
Shi Zheng put down the tablet, and asked about the last brand, "Where's Bai Xueji?"
"This is also an old domestic brand, and its establishment history is longer than Baihuajin. Ten years ago, it was nominated for the top ten international cosmetics brands." Lin Xia said confidently. She herself is a loyal supporter of this brand.Of course, during work, she experienced avoiding the introduction of personal emotions.
"Is this also a model of driving high and going low?" Yu Huaining was surprised.
The Huachang brand that can be nominated for international awards is also an old brand with a long history in Huaguo. Why should it not be unknown now?
"No, the problem is all about the cost." Lin Xia analyzed seriously, "The situation of their family is similar to that of Baihuajin, but it is also different. Bai Xueji's family has always been loyal to the high-quality goods model, and has never made shoddy products. Probably to save costs , their family spends very little money on publicity."
However, in the era of online shopping, publicity is indispensable for everything.
Under the double attack of foreign brands and domestic new brands, the living space of Bai Xueji is getting less and less, and the market share is gradually decreasing.
"According to this, the price/performance ratio of this brand acquisition should be the highest?" Shi Zheng said.There is neither the 'plagiarism' incident of the first company nor the 'poisonous skin' reputation of the second company.
Lin Xia shook her head, "I'm afraid it's the hardest."
"why?"
"Because they were acquired by Qin's four years ago and became a subsidiary brand of Qin's group." Lin Xia told the truth, "But Qin's made a fortune in finance, so it can be said that the transformation of cosmetics is very important. Very unsuccessful, in the past year, Bai Xueji should be in a 'stocking mode' under their hands."
"Qin's?" Yu Huaining heard this surname, and a figure immediately appeared in his mind. He sneered, "The new director is the Qin's company translated by Qin Yun?"'
Lin Xia could hear the subtlety in the young man's tone, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Yu knows the new President Qin?"
"We just met two hours ago." Yu Huaining looked at the time on his phone, and said in a low tone, "This world is really small."
When Shi Zheng heard this, his usually calm eyes fluctuated slightly.He signaled Lin Xia to back down, and when only he and the young man were left in the office, he asked in a muffled voice, "Is Qin Yunyi the person who invited you?"
Yu Huaining was stunned for a moment, then chuckled because of the man's wrong guess, "No, the person who invited me to dinner was my cousin Yu Jing..."
He gave an overview of what happened during the lunch, got up and sat down on Shizheng's sofa, and boldly leaned into the man's arms, "Just in time, I have something I want to ask Shizheng for help."
"Are there still few things you want to ask me for help?" Shi Zheng lowered his eyes and asked back, the sour taste that had no trace disappeared in the young man's explanation long ago, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Yu Huaining leaned against his ear, and bit the man's ear ambiguously after speaking.
Facing the young man's deliberate teasing, Shi Zheng subconsciously put his arms around his waist, pretending to be indifferent, "You want me to investigate Qin Yunyi?"
"Well, whether it's in country F or in Liucheng, I want to check it out."
Qin Yunyi won't show her private tricks to the public, and someone has to go to check it out in person.
"You're very interested in him?" Shi Zheng's voice was low, and a gleam of possessiveness flashed across his eyes.
Yu Huaining failed to notice this scene, his fingertips were moving back and forth on the man's Adam's apple.He shook his head and told the truth, "I think he is an unfathomable fire pit, and I don't want my cousin to jump into it."
Seeing that he showed no signs of lying, Shi Zheng responded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll have someone check it out for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Shi." Yu Huaining narrowed his eyes, with a bit of joy on his face.
Suddenly, Shi Zheng grabbed his palm and forcibly shortened the distance between the two, "I'm free in the afternoon."
"Ok?"
"So, it's useless to just say thank you verbally." Shi Zheng called to the young man's lips, absorbing a hint of the intoxicating smell of alcohol.
Between lips and teeth, Yu Huaining understood what he meant, hooked his shoulder and responded frankly, "Then just listen to me and thank you in a different way."
The author has something to say: [Thanks] How to meet old friends*1 mine, Lin Ziying*10 bottles, how to meet old friends*3 bottles, Yuran*3 bottles of nutrient solution, bobo!
Yu Jing looked at the two younger brothers, omitting those complicated family relationships, and said briefly, "Yunyi, this is Nanchuan and Huaining."
"Hi, it's our first time meeting." Qin Yunyi stretched out his right hand.
"Hello." Nan Chuan nodded and shook hands briefly.
In the next second, the hands with sharp knuckles were in front of Yu Huaining's eyes.
A trace of subtle scrutiny fell, and when she looked up at each other, Qin Yunyi still smiled modestly and politely.

"Okay." Nan Chuan nodded, "Where are you going?"
"Look for Shi Zheng to talk about something." Yu Huaining said bluntly, his friend probably guessed his relationship with the man long ago, so there is no need to cover it up.The system has sorted out the information of several companies, and he is planning to discuss with the man.
Sure enough, Nan Chuan nodded calmly, without any surprise, "Okay, see you next time."
"Ah."
……
Yu Huaining walked to Shizheng's office with ease, and the man just finished his work, and it was rare for him to lean on the sofa leisurely and taste the red wine.
"Looks like I'm always busy?" Yu Huaining approached with a smile, took out his phone and sent the content of a systematically organized document, "Find someone from the market research department to help me analyze these three brand companies."
Young people have never been sloppy when it comes to making demands.
"Let me see." Shi Zheng picked up the electronic screen on the table, and suddenly heard the young man hum again, "I'm thirsty."
There was clearly sober wine on the table, but he seemed too lazy to pour it.
Seeing his burning eyes, Shi Zheng simply passed over the red wine in his hand, "I just took a sip."
"I don't mind." Yu Huaining smiled lowly, he had long forgotten about the so-called 'cleanliness', he drank the mellow wine, and then let out a satisfied sigh, "It's still in Mr. Shi's collection. The most authentic wine taste."
Shi Zheng stared at the names of the three brands on the screen, and thought of the young man's question in the car before, and immediately had the answer, "Do you want to be a makeup brand?"
——Who is the most continuous and easy-to-spend audience in the world?
--female.
In addition to daily expenses, modern women know how to spend money to manage and maintain themselves.
"Not all of them." Yu Huaining wanted to target the female consumer group, but he didn't intend to focus only on the 'cosmetics' segment.Most of the Huaguo market is occupied by foreign brands, leaving little room for domestic brands to survive.
It is not easy to independently develop products, let alone run a brand new brand from scratch?
Shi Zheng thought about it for a while, and said something wrong, "You want to buy an old domestic brand, and then take the opportunity to replace it with your own products to enter the market?"
"There is such a plan." Yu Huaining nodded.
"Okay." Shi Zheng nodded, and called the work assistant to give orders.Not long after, the other party led a professional woman in her 40s into the room, "Mr. Shi, this is the new supervisor of the research department. It just so happened that she was in charge of the national brand of cosmetics in the previous company."
The supervisor's name is Lin Xia, and she has neatly cut short hair.Although it was the first time she met Shi Zheng, the boss, she didn't have the slightest timidity, "Mr. Shi, what do you need me to do?"
"Director Lin, please take a look at these domestic brands and see if you are familiar with them?" Yu Huaining took the tablet from the man's hand and handed it over. He glanced at the silent man and said calmly, "Mr. Shi Want to buy the most cost-effective brand."
When Shi Zheng heard the last sentence, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
As soon as Lin Xia heard that it was the boss's order, she immediately became serious.She has honed in domestic beauty brands for nearly ten years, so she is naturally familiar with the contents of the existing market.In less than a minute, she began to introduce them one by one.
"Mr. Shi, this first 'O'Kelly' first made its fortune by selling foreign brands. To put it simply, it is a middleman who earns the price difference. It is the first batch of purchasing agents. About seven years ago, they They started to develop their own products, to put it bluntly, by 'imitating' foreign big names."
Yu Huaining raised his eyebrows slightly, and pointedly pointed out, "Imitation? Is it plagiarism?"
"Yes, but they don't dare to plagiarize clearly. There are quite a few petty thefts. Due to insufficient evidence and the difficulty of fighting cross-border lawsuits, they have always gained the upper hand." Lin Xia stated calmly. Such 'brands' are extremely disdainful, "They have never been able to be original, and the imitated products are far less easy to use than the real big brands, so the market sales have been declining for three consecutive years."
Shi Zheng pretended to cooperate and nodded, "Where's the next one?"
"Baihuajin is an old domestic brand with a history of more than 80 years. Like its brand name, it mainly focuses on the beauty effect of natural flowers. In the era before the Internet, offline sales have always been among domestic brands. Number one or two."
"What now?" Yu Huaining asked.Since this brand can be selected by the system, something must have happened.
"It is said that their process of refining pollen and flower juice is very complicated and costly, so the price of the products they make is naturally high. Later, online sales became common, and foreign big brands were also easy to buy. Shi Zong and Mr. Yu are men, maybe I don’t know much. But with the same price of well-known foreign brands and domestic brands, most women will follow the trend and choose the former.”
Lin Xia searched for a piece of news on her tablet, and handed it back, "Mr. Shi, take a look. This is the real reason why the reputation of the Baihuajin brand has plummeted."
Yu Huaining leaned closer to the man's side and took a quick glance. This was old news three years ago, "In order to reduce production costs, Baihuajin added flavor chemicals?"
"Yes. Many consumers have skin ulcers to varying degrees, and then jointly complained." Lin Xia will tell the truth when she learns the truth, "Although the person in charge immediately made an apology and compensation , but lost consumers can no longer come back. And new consumers will naturally hold a certain degree of distrust because of this.”
Shi Zheng put down the tablet, and asked about the last brand, "Where's Bai Xueji?"
"This is also an old domestic brand, and its establishment history is longer than Baihuajin. Ten years ago, it was nominated for the top ten international cosmetics brands." Lin Xia said confidently. She herself is a loyal supporter of this brand.Of course, during work, she experienced avoiding the introduction of personal emotions.
"Is this also a model of driving high and going low?" Yu Huaining was surprised.
The Huachang brand that can be nominated for international awards is also an old brand with a long history in Huaguo. Why should it not be unknown now?
"No, the problem is all about the cost." Lin Xia analyzed seriously, "The situation of their family is similar to that of Baihuajin, but it is also different. Bai Xueji's family has always been loyal to the high-quality goods model, and has never made shoddy products. Probably to save costs , their family spends very little money on publicity."
However, in the era of online shopping, publicity is indispensable for everything.
Under the double attack of foreign brands and domestic new brands, the living space of Bai Xueji is getting less and less, and the market share is gradually decreasing.
"According to this, the price/performance ratio of this brand acquisition should be the highest?" Shi Zheng said.There is neither the 'plagiarism' incident of the first company nor the 'poisonous skin' reputation of the second company.
Lin Xia shook her head, "I'm afraid it's the hardest."
"why?"
"Because they were acquired by Qin's four years ago and became a subsidiary brand of Qin's group." Lin Xia told the truth, "But Qin's made a fortune in finance, so it can be said that the transformation of cosmetics is very important. Very unsuccessful, in the past year, Bai Xueji should be in a 'stocking mode' under their hands."
"Qin's?" Yu Huaining heard this surname, and a figure immediately appeared in his mind. He sneered, "The new director is the Qin's company translated by Qin Yun?"'
Lin Xia could hear the subtlety in the young man's tone, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Yu knows the new President Qin?"
"We just met two hours ago." Yu Huaining looked at the time on his phone, and said in a low tone, "This world is really small."
When Shi Zheng heard this, his usually calm eyes fluctuated slightly.He signaled Lin Xia to back down, and when only he and the young man were left in the office, he asked in a muffled voice, "Is Qin Yunyi the person who invited you?"
Yu Huaining was stunned for a moment, then chuckled because of the man's wrong guess, "No, the person who invited me to dinner was my cousin Yu Jing..."
He gave an overview of what happened during the lunch, got up and sat down on Shizheng's sofa, and boldly leaned into the man's arms, "Just in time, I have something I want to ask Shizheng for help."
"Are there still few things you want to ask me for help?" Shi Zheng lowered his eyes and asked back, the sour taste that had no trace disappeared in the young man's explanation long ago, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Yu Huaining leaned against his ear, and bit the man's ear ambiguously after speaking.
Facing the young man's deliberate teasing, Shi Zheng subconsciously put his arms around his waist, pretending to be indifferent, "You want me to investigate Qin Yunyi?"
"Well, whether it's in country F or in Liucheng, I want to check it out."
Qin Yunyi won't show her private tricks to the public, and someone has to go to check it out in person.
"You're very interested in him?" Shi Zheng's voice was low, and a gleam of possessiveness flashed across his eyes.
Yu Huaining failed to notice this scene, his fingertips were moving back and forth on the man's Adam's apple.He shook his head and told the truth, "I think he is an unfathomable fire pit, and I don't want my cousin to jump into it."
Seeing that he showed no signs of lying, Shi Zheng responded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll have someone check it out for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Shi." Yu Huaining narrowed his eyes, with a bit of joy on his face.
Suddenly, Shi Zheng grabbed his palm and forcibly shortened the distance between the two, "I'm free in the afternoon."
"Ok?"
"So, it's useless to just say thank you verbally." Shi Zheng called to the young man's lips, absorbing a hint of the intoxicating smell of alcohol.
Between lips and teeth, Yu Huaining understood what he meant, hooked his shoulder and responded frankly, "Then just listen to me and thank you in a different way."
