"I understand! The reason Uncle Tai isn't involved in this is because he wants to test our abilities, isn't that right?"

Gao Qiqiang's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Tang Ping with admiration, saying, "Ah Ping, to be honest, I used to think you were just a clever little merchant, but today, I have a completely new respect for you."

“A man should have ambition, the ambition to become someone superior. I won’t argue with you about this, but if you encounter any trouble, I can offer some advice. Lao Gao, you need to think further ahead. Ten or twenty years from now, perhaps you won’t be Bai Jiangbo, nor Xu Jiang, but rather Uncle Tai’s position?” Tang Ping patted Gao Qiqiang on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiqiang was completely stunned.

The next morning, Gao Qiqiang, along with Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, took the two buyers to Jinghai Bus Station. Tang Ping was not involved in these handover procedures at all.

He is studying the formula for the system-rewarded Snow Relief.

After helping Gao Qiqiang hand over the two buyers to Chen Shuting, Tang Ping's task was completed.

Tang Ping was quite interested in the formula for this Yu Xue Qing (a traditional Chinese medicine).

In 1998, Safeguard had just defeated Lux ​​soap and captured a portion of the domestic market. Another giant was Diaopai.

Yuxueqing is also a soap brand, but it also produces shower gel. If it focuses on shower gel and targets the women's market, it could definitely be very successful.

Men love antibacterial products and their skin is mostly oily, so soap is very popular.

Women, especially housewives, prefer moisturizing products. Their skin is generally neutral or dry, so they love shower gels even more.

It's refreshing and invigorating in summer, and moisturizing and nourishing in dry winter. Plus, it has moisturizing and whitening effects. If this shower gel were produced, it would definitely be their first choice.

In fact, women are also a major force in the consumer market.

Safeguard is available, and Diaopai has captured the market, but shower gel seems to be absent from the market.

Tang Ping was somewhat excited and immediately decided to enter the daily chemical products market. Thinking about the emergence of skin care, face masks, cosmetics and other products in later generations, it can be said that female consumers are also leading the changes in market products.

However, while it's a good idea, actually doing it requires more than just a factory and production line; the most important thing is advertising and promotion.

Each of these requires a huge amount of capital.

Tang Ping wasn't in a hurry. This time, he didn't want to take out a loan. He planned to wait for the internet cafe's funds to come in and develop it step by step.

Even the tallest buildings don't rise from the ground; skyscrapers all start with a foundation.

First, we should buy a factory building and secure the land before land prices rise, then gradually introduce production lines.

Since factories and shops are different, Tang Ping found an old acquaintance, Wu Kun.

Because of the previous incident with Tang Xiaolong, Wu Kun felt guilty. When he heard that Tang Ping wanted to buy a factory, he immediately agreed and promised to handle it properly to Tang Ping's satisfaction.

With nothing to do, Tang Ping wandered over to an internet cafe.

Since Bald Yong was arrested, the internet cafe has become much more peaceful. Most of the people who come to the internet cafe are not there to cause trouble. After hearing about Bald Yong's case, even some thugs dare not cause trouble in the internet cafe.

Tang Ping had just arrived when he discovered that his cousin, Song Lili, was on duty.

My aunt, Tang Shuyun, was also there. She was mainly responsible for cleaning at the internet cafe, tidying up empty drink bottles and other trash left by customers.

Tang Ping hadn't originally planned to have her aunt do the cleaning, but her aunt insisted. If Tang Ping didn't agree, her aunt would have gone to work as a cleaner at another hotel.

Tang Ping had no way to deal with this.

Cleaning is cleaning. Labor is the most honorable thing. Earning money with your own hands is not a shameful job.

Moreover, working for Tang Ping offers good salary and benefits, and since she's his aunt, he can take care of him anytime.

Tang Ping checked the sales figures at the front desk when suddenly his cousin, Song Lili, walked over, head bowed, and said, "Cousin, I have something I want to tell you."

"What is it?" Tang Ping asked.

Song Lili said, "A couple of days ago, someone was surfing the internet here, and then he ran out of money and had nowhere to stay, so I took it upon myself to let him stay in the attic storage room."

"Oh, fine, let him stay here then. By the way, if he really doesn't have any money, he can work here. You don't need to tell me about such a small thing."

Tang Ping didn't seem to mind and said.

"He doesn't want to work here."

"Why?"

Tang Ping asked suspiciously, "Didn't he run out of money? He has food, lodging, and a salary here. Could this guy be a lazy bum?"

"No, he said that with his intelligence, he couldn't stoop to doing this kind of work."

Tang Ping laughed and said, "Heh, so poor you're about to starve, yet you're still putting on airs. Fine, where are you? I'd like to see for myself."

Song Lili nodded and led Tang Ping to the second floor.

On the second floor, near the corner next to the restroom, there is a small attic, which is used by the internet cafe to store supplies.

Upon opening the door, Tang Ping saw a young man with messy, bird's-nest-like hair and wearing glasses.

The young man with the messy hair was very thin and had sallow skin, clearly a result of long-term malnutrition.

He sat on the floor, using a cardboard box as a table, with a black laptop on it.

Tang Ping noticed that it was a brand called Acer. He had seen it in the Huaqiangbei market before. Don't be fooled by how ugly this laptop is; it's not cheap.

"Zhang Fan, this is our boss," Song Lili introduced.

Upon hearing this, the young man named Zhang Fan became noticeably reserved and quickly stood up, saying, "Hello, boss."

"Don't be shy, it's fine to stay here. I'm just curious, my cousin told me you don't want to work at an internet cafe? Isn't it good to be self-reliant and have a job?" Tang Ping asked.

Zhang Fan kept his head down and didn't say anything.

"Are you a college student? Which college?" Tang Ping asked again.

This time, Zhang Fan spoke up, saying, "I've already graduated from the Computer Science Department of Jinghai University. I just haven't found a suitable job yet. Don't worry, boss, once I find a job and start earning money, I will definitely pay you back for your rent."

Tang Ping laughed and said, "That's not important. I didn't come here today to ask you for rent. We're not that far apart in age, so don't be nervous. Let's just have a chat and talk things over. Cousin, could you go and make two cups of milk tea?"

At first, Zhang Fan was a bit reserved, but Tang Ping started with computer-related topics, and the two quickly found common ground.

When the conversation turned to his major, Zhang Fan became noticeably more confident, speaking fluently and knowledgeably, completely unlike his previous timid demeanor.

Zhang Fan spoke eloquently: "Boss Tang, it's not that I'm unwilling to work at your internet cafe, it's just that with my intelligence, I could easily work for any computer company. However, Jinghai is too underdeveloped, no one appreciates my talent, they only offer me a salary, which I don't even consider."
