Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 402: Investor

In fact, Jasper Sinclair already had the answer before he posed this question.

Sure enough, Nora Northwood stuck to her age-old rhetoric: "I don’t want to depend on you for everything. You’ve helped me several times already, Jasper. I feel like if this continues, I’ll become useless."

"I’m not offering a free financial chain. I will take shares in VK and become one of your shareholders, expanding new markets in my personal capacity. We can discuss the detailed terms formally."

"Jasper, you came prepared."

From Jasper Sinclair’s words, it wasn’t hard to tell that he had this idea for a while but only brought it up now.

"You got me."

Then, he stated his decision: "Investing fifty million for thirty-three percent of the shares. I won’t interfere with company matters, and you and your team can handle everything, but you need to report the situation regularly."

Investment and shares are not the usual market proportions. Nora Northwood knew he was giving her special treatment.

"Allow me to think it over. I’ll give you an answer within a week."

Since that night, Jasper Sinclair hadn’t brought up the issue of investment work again.

Annie connected with a boss wanting to open new domains and met Nora Northwood in a tea room.

The person looked in his thirties, well-featured, and courteous.

The aura he exuded reminded Nora Northwood of someone.

Finnian Lawrence.

"Miss Northwood, we can get straight to the point."

Implying: I’m busy, let’s not waste time.

Nora Northwood took a stack of documents from her tote bag and handed them to him: "Please have a look."

Boss Rhodes took them and scrutinized them carefully. He was slow, as if he was pondering seriously.

"The domestic aroma market hasn’t opened up, and since VK’s inception, it has followed a low-end route. Switching to mid-to-high-end suddenly might not be easy for the public to accept."

Nora Northwood had considered this question, "VK will subsequently develop multiple product lines tailored to different audience groups, with corresponding price variations."

"This is not an easy task to handle. If you’ve decided to go mid-to-high-end, why would you still develop a low-end line?"

Nora Northwood understood his implication, he was interested in investing but wanted to drive down the price.

The revolution is not yet successful, comrades still need to strive.

After a prolonged tug-of-war, Boss Rhodes decided to invest thirty million but wanted forty percent of the shares.

This was the seventeenth investor Nora Northwood had met with, and she even began wondering if her expectations were too high, hence why she couldn’t find the right candidate?

After this negotiation, she started to seriously reflect on her actions.

Indeed, she was asking for quite a lot.

But the investors who weren’t able to come to terms also wanted too much.

In her intense anxiety, Jasper Sinclair took her to attend a forum on perfumery.

"In ancient times, people used aroma as one method to tell time, because the scent emitted from an object would gradually weaken over time, eventually fading away..."

Dr. Sawyer spoke eloquently at the podium, and Nora Northwood sat in the front row, listening very intently, while making sure to turn on the recording function to study further after.

The forum ended one and a half hours later.

Jasper Sinclair told her: "Dr. Sawyer hosts the forum on the 13th of every month here. If you have time, we can come and listen anytime."

"You haven’t done business in this industry, does listening to this feel boring?"
