'We have created a history in cosmetic business last three years . It is sometimes called a revolution according to media. Other companies including major cosmetic companies benchmark our business model and strategy. However, we never get others to follow us as a market leader. We have been trying to maximize customer values while minimizing an unnecessary part in the products and distribution channel. We directly contact to the customers through both on-line and off-line like franchise shops. I would like to compare this concept to that of Dell Computers. I think cosmetics shouldn't be an expensive one nor luxury one but daily products. Now, I am committing to deliver this concept to the world. I am confident of success in global market. I heartily welcome you to cooperate as a faithful partner.'
