After the children discovered the assassination attempt, Jiang Ning dared not relax her guard any longer.
She would rather forgo her work than compromise their safety.
For some business trips, Wang Meizhu and Xu Yan had to be sent, which caused dissatisfaction among many clients.
To ease the tension among everyone, Jiang Ning specially hosted a dinner at a restaurant, gathering everyone together for a meal.
Jiang Ning's sincere words finally calmed down everyone's anger considerably.
Unexpectedly, she thought she had met Li Hua, whom Xu Yan had asked to find.
There are hundreds, even thousands, of people named Li Hua in the capital. Xu Yan searched for a while but had no clue.
On the day of the dinner, she unexpectedly saw a man in his early thirties holding a black box and trying to sell it to the other diners.
"Comrade, I see your hair is a bit thin. Would you like to try my 101 hair growth serum? I guarantee that after just a few uses, you'll grow black hair again."
He smiled obsequiously, his tone full of flattery.
But who would like to hear someone say they have thinning hair? The customer immediately told the waitress to kick the salesperson out.
Li Hua reluctantly left, carrying a suitcase.
After leaving the restaurant, he sat under a tree not far away, smoking in silence.
While smoking, he kept an eye on passersby, trying to find his next target.
Jiang Ning greeted the client and came outside to look for him.
"Comrade, do you think my hair needs this?"
When Li Hua heard her say that, and then looked at her thick hair, she turned her head away.
"Comrade, are you here to laugh at me?"
However, he didn't take the joke to heart. Anyway, there were plenty of people who laughed at him, so one more wouldn't make a difference.
"Comrade, how could I laugh at you? I'm here to discuss cooperation."
Jiang Ning walked over and faced him.
Li Hua had no choice but to face it.
"You want to discuss a partnership with me? How many bottles of my hair growth serum do you want to buy?"
He didn't think a person with thick hair needed these.
Jiang Ning: "I'm not buying your hair growth serum. I'm planning to help you sell it, but I need to get a commission for every bottle I sell. How much does your hair growth serum cost per bottle?"
Upon hearing her words, Li Hua's pupils dilated instantly; no one had ever discussed these things with him before.
He suddenly became interested in the beautiful woman in front of him.
"I'm selling each bottle for two yuan now, and I've been doing this for several months, but I haven't sold more than twenty bottles in total. Can you help me sell more?"
Jiang Ning held up one finger.
Li Hua: "One hundred bottles? That's far too few."
Jiang Ning shook his head and increased the quantity to one thousand bottles.
If he can sell a thousand bottles, then his research will not have been in vain.
He was originally just a chemistry teacher. By chance, he saw his teacher suffering from baldness and thought about developing a medicine that could regrow hair.
Surprisingly, he actually figured it out, and the teacher found it to be very effective after using it.
He then produced them again and sold them on the market.
However, he didn't sell well. First, it was hard to find the right customers, and second, people didn't approve of his products.
If we can actually sell a thousand bottles, after deducting costs, we can still make a profit of several hundred yuan.
Seeing that he kept guessing but didn't dare to make a big guess, Jiang Ning said:
"It's ten million bottles."
"What?" Li Hua's voice cracked.
Do you know what ten million means?
If she said ten thousand bottles, he could believe it, but if she said ten million, he immediately shook his head and stood up, not wanting to waste any more words with her.
"Don't go! Your product is great. How long will it take to find customers by just selling bottle by bottle? You need to make customers come to you!"
Jiang Ning's words made Li Hua stop in his tracks once again.
What she said does make some sense.
Seeing that he was no longer so formal, Jiang Ning invited him directly to a private room in the restaurant and introduced herself first.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's name, Li Hua was taken aback. She had such a large business and was a big boss, so why would she choose someone like him who had nothing?
Jiang Ning noticed her confusion and poured her a cup of tea.
"Don't let my current business size and profitability fool you; I'm only making small change. I'm waiting for a chance to make big money, and then I met you!"
Li Hua was dumbfounded, unsure how to respond, and after a long while, he finally said:
“I’m just a tiny little thing, like soap from a soap factory or toothpaste from a toothpaste factory. How could I possibly make big money? Don’t joke with me.”
He began to suspect that Jiang Ning might be a big liar.
But what can he possibly scam with such a small amount of hair growth serum?
Jiang Ning knew that convincing him wouldn't be something that could be done in a short time, so he slowly took a sip of tea and said:
“You provide the formula, I provide the funding, and we’ll build a hair growth serum brand and sell it all over the country, even globally. We’ll split the profits 50/50. Don’t worry, I will never steal your formula; I’ll only earn my share.”
I know this model is hard for you to accept right away. How about this: to show you my sales skills, I'll hold a presentation this weekend. How about you bring a thousand bottles of hair growth serum to attend?
Jiang Ning never just talks the talk; she walks the walk.
She also needs this kind of opportunity to see the market demand for hair growth serum and product feedback.
Li Hua felt that he would not lose anything, so he readily agreed.
After returning home, he worked overtime to start making hair growth serum.
The cost of a 50ml bottle of hair growth serum is approximately 50 cents.
If she can sell a thousand bottles at a retail price of two yuan, she can earn at least 1,500 yuan.
Even if half the profits are taken, he can still earn 750 yuan.
If he can sell them all, he will definitely want to cooperate with her.
Over the next few days, at Jiang Ning's request, Wang Meizhu rented a shop in front of a store in a busy street corner.
On the day of the trade fair, all the porcelain that she had asked Wang Meizhu to prepare was ready.
There are a total of one thousand items, including exquisite bowls and plates, as well as vases.
Each item costs ten yuan, and comes with a free bottle of hair growth serum worth five yuan.
When Li Hua brought over the hair growth serum, he was stunned when he saw the promotional poster.
Although he raised the price of his hair growth serum to five yuan, it was only a free gift.
This made him very angry.
"Jiang Ning, I thought you were here to help me sell my hair growth serum, but I didn't expect you to be selling your porcelain!"
He had gone to great lengths to get those hair growth serums out, only to be tricked, so he was naturally in a bad mood.
Jiang Ning hurriedly explained:
"Don't worry, your goal is to sell these hair growth serums. You need to get the product out there first so people can know if it works! Don't worry, no matter what happens today, I'll give you a thousand yuan as a reward."
Since she had already said that, he couldn't argue with her anymore and helped arrange all the hair growth serums into boxes.
Once everything was ready, Jiang Ning picked up a megaphone and started hawking her wares.
