Elena closed the final slide of her presentation and looked toward the three executives seated across from her.
"We came here today because Keen-To-Care needs a reliable logistics partner," she said calmly. "Some of our ingredients and raw materials must be sourced from overseas. We would like to use Zhang Industries' shipping network to import them."
She paused briefly before continuing.
"And when our production reaches scale, we also hope Zhang Industries will become our partner for distributing our finished products to customers domestically and internationally."
The room fell into thoughtful silence.
The COO leaned forward, fingers steepled together.
"Miss Zhang," he said, now fully in professional mode, "may I ask a few questions before we discuss your proposal?"
"Of course," Elena replied immediately. "Please ask anything."
He didn't hold back.
Questions came one after another.
Production capacity.
Ingredient sourcing.
Manufacturing timelines.
Scalability.
