[0:01] COVID arrived. It's very painful. We can't export anymore. We can't export to Asian markets. And it makes a big challenge. It nearly killed Florêve.
[0:18] I begged investors, oh, give me money. I did lots of power point and I showed the Excel table. So every day I think about how to save my company. How to save my baby? One word, appeared in my dream, it's local market. We don't have any chance to go back to local markets, to European markets, to France markets, because COVID is there and COVID awaked me up. And you know, I'm very grateful for this pair read. At that moment, I found local markets. But being a player in the local market, I can't be present. We are French brand, we are French technology brand. There are too many competitors. No way. I'm Chinese. I can't do the competition by using this way. So I'm thinking we test, we do some tests. I don't have money to hire influencers. So I do my own videos at home and very casual. Oh, you know what? It works. And people call me. Hello, I like your work. You speak very well French. Okay, thank you.
[1:31] And may I know that you are a Korean, you're a South Korean brand? I'm not a South Korean brand, but I'm a French brand, but I'm Chinese. So I find that people are interested. Your foreign face presents a French brand. And this is my opportunity because I don't have lots of competitors here. I speak better French, better English. This is my chance. So I start rebranding the brand story by putting the Chinese philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine with the French technology.
[2:09] And this makes a big difference than other competitors. And after that, I recovered from this crisis. I stop seeing investors. The best investors are my customers.
