Chapter 286 Great Things
Because Bai Jingyi woke up early, the trip to the capital had the best ending.
Mingdai and Gu Sinian were preparing the gifts they were going to buy before leaving, and they took their cameras to check in at various places.
Gu Sinian also set up a darkroom in the small villa in the space, bought equipment, and developed the photos himself, which can be given away as gifts, and will surely be very popular.
Ming Dai also visited Ming Chang River and cleaned up the graves that were covered with weeds.
Gu Sinian was digging the grave with a shovel. While Mingdai was pulling the grass and not paying attention, he silently told her that he would take good care of Mingdai and asked her not to worry.
Before leaving, he found a farmer nearby, gave him five yuan, and asked him to look after the dog.
Because paper money could not be burned, Mingdai put the flowers she brought on the altar and told them about the fate of Ming Changjiang and the Jiang family, hoping that he and little Mingdai would be reborn into a good family.
Uncle Wei and Mother Bai also went out for two days, and brought two boxes of medical books to Mingdai, which Mother Bai had exchanged for antiques from her dowry.
Mingdai flipped through it and found that many of them were secret recipes collected by people in the previous life.
This gift touched her heart, and Mingdai couldn't refuse it.
Gu Sinian looked at the moved Mingdai, then at his mother who was smiling gently, took out a small notebook, and added the secret recipe at the back of the house.
On the last day before leaving Beijing, Uncle Wei took Bai Jingyi and Gu Sinian to the research institute to see if they could meet Bai Binghua.
They invited Mingdai, but she declined and waited for them at home, finishing the female hygiene manual she had written.
Just when she finished tidying up, the door rang.
When I opened the door, I saw the Tian sisters.
"Why are you here?!"
Seeing that they were sweating profusely, Mingdai quickly let them in.
Tian Li said with sweat on her forehead: "We asked you to come out and play, but you didn't come out. So we had no choice but to come to find you."
Tian Fei looked better, but her cheeks were also red from the heat.
Ming Dai poured them two cups of mint tea and said, "It's so hot, I don't want to go anywhere, I'd rather stay at home."
Tian Li gulped down a glass of wine and shivered from the cold: "Comfortable!"
Tian Fei felt a headache looking at her sister.
Seeing that many things in the yard were missing, Tian Fei felt a little surprised and asked about it.
Ming Dai nodded: "I was just about to call you. I have to go back to Heilongjiang Province! I will leave tomorrow!"
"ah!"
Tian Li looked reluctant: "You're leaving so soon?!"
Ming Dai nodded: "I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back."
Tian Fei was also a little sad. It was so hard to meet such a like-minded friend: "We wrote to you, you must reply!"
Ming Dai nodded: "Of course! By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Tian Fei said, "Ming Dai, we are here to ask you on behalf of my father, can foreigners use your facial mask?"
Ming Dai was a little surprised: "Uncle knows about this mask?"
Tian Li covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Haha, I caught my dad secretly using my facial mask, but he was still stubborn and said he wanted to experience it himself and do a product test."
Tian Fei glared at her and explained with a smile: "My dad is just like Lili. He gets acne when he eats sweets. He saw that Lili has eaten a lot of sweets in the past two days, but her acne has not appeared. He tried it out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, the effect is very good.
He wants to ask foreigners if they can use it, and if so, he wants to sell it in a friendship store."
Ming Dai thought for a moment and said, "Of course it is possible, but private transactions are not allowed now, right?"
Tian Fei nodded: "Yes, so my father wants to buy the recipe of this facial mask from you. The Friendship Store has its own factory, so we can make it ourselves when the time comes."
Ming Dai thought for a moment and shook her head: "The prescription is handed down from my ancestors, I won't sell it, but I can cooperate with the Friendship Store."
"cooperate?"
Ming Dai nodded: "Yes, I work in the purchasing department of the First People's Hospital of Heilongjiang Province. If the First People's Hospital of Heilongjiang Province cooperates with the Friendship Store to supply facial masks, it should be possible, right?"
Tian Fei's eyes lit up: "That's fine! Many of the finished drugs in Friendship Store are produced in cooperation with hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. If that's the case, there will definitely be no problem."
Mingdai was also a little excited. If she could really sign the contract, it would solve the problems she had encountered recently!
If she wants to popularize the women's hygiene promotion manual, she needs certain financial support.
She had previously planned to use the money she received in the space, but she had not yet figured out what name to use to properly take the money out.
Now we can supply facial masks to friendship stores and earn money from foreigners, and use this money to set up a special fund to popularize women's hygiene promotion manuals.
This not only earns foreign exchange, but also benefits women, killing two birds with one stone.
Maybe it's because she has been here for a long time and has been spending more time with Zhou Sinian and the others, Mingdai began to have a sense of belonging. She is no longer just looking at the world from the perspective of a bystander, but is truly living here.
She had something she wanted to do.
In her previous life, in addition to working in the hospital, she also ran the herbal medicine store left by her grandfather and the medicine factory left by her grandfather, but they were all run by agents. She was only responsible for taking the money and did not have much sense of involvement.
Now, she plans to pick it up again.
In her previous life in the hospital, she saw too many people giving up treatment and going home to die because they could not afford imported medicine.
In this life, she wants to earn money from foreigners to support domestic pharmaceutical factories.
In the pharmaceutical sector, pharmaceutical cosmetics have the highest profit. From now on, operating a pharmaceutical cosmetics brand recognized by foreigners is what Ming Dai wants to do.
"You talk to your uncle. If it's possible, I'll go back and discuss with the hospital. Not only can I provide acne masks, but I can also provide other cosmetics."
Tian Li looked at her excitedly: "Is there anything whitening? I get so dark in the summer!"
Ming Dai nodded: "Of course there are. I plan to make a whole set of cosmetics. The brand is called Porcelain Beauty."
"Porcelain Beauty?"
Tian Fei nodded: "This is great! It's flawless white porcelain, it will definitely be popular!"
Mingdai nodded. This was also the name of a beauty product developed by Mingdai herself in her previous life, and it had always sold very well.
Tian Fei smiled and said, "That should be fine. I'll write to you when the time comes. Mingdai, do you still have any facial masks in stock? I want to buy some more from you first."
Ming Dai was a little curious: "Yes, we do. How much do you want to buy?"
Tian Fei said shyly, "I'll take as many as you can get. I want to take some as souvenirs for my wedding. I originally prepared chocolate, but in this weather, chocolate melts too easily. How about some facial masks? They're practical and innovative."
Ming Dai smiled and said, "That's true, but I don't have so many bottles. You have to find some bottles yourself."
Tian Fei nodded repeatedly: "I can just order some porcelain bottles to hold them and print my name on them. They will definitely look great!"
Ming Dai nodded, turned back to her room and brought out a small jar: "Take a look and see if it's enough. There should be 50 boxes."
Tian Fei calculated and found that it was just enough to deliver: "Okay, Mingdai, you count the money, don't be polite with me, it's just the right amount."
Ming Dai smiled and said, "I made these myself. Not counting the labor and packaging costs, a box costs three RMB. When I officially start selling them, I plan to price them at five US dollars."
Tian Fei calculated that five dollars is ridiculously expensive in China, but in the Friendship Store, it is not expensive. After all, other lipsticks are more expensive than this one.
"I'll give you three dollars. I won't let you lose money."
Ming Dai waved her hand: "No need, I can make back my investment with 3 yuan. If anyone likes it, you can just help me promote it."
Tian Fei thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then I won't be polite. If anyone likes it, I'll help you get the order."
Ming Dai nodded: "If you sell more, I'll give you a commission!"
Tian Li came over and said, "Mingdai, I'll help you sell it too. I don't want any money. Just give me two boxes of whitening masks."
Mingdai waved her hand to indicate that there was no problem!
After collecting the money, Sister Tian and her sister left with the jar in their arms.
Mingdai was in a good mood and continued to ask Gu Sinian and the others to come back.
Before entering the yard, I heard Mingdai humming a song.
The door opened, and Mingdai saw that they were sweating all over, so she quickly poured them some water.
"Are you back? How was it? Did you see anyone?"
Gu Sinian helped his mother sit down and took the teapot from Mingdai: "I looked from a distance. My uncle has been transferred to the core project team and it is even harder to see him."
Bai Jingyi's face turned pale. He drank some water and paused for a while before speaking: "Brother has aged a lot and lost a lot of weight. He was so excited that he cried when he saw me. Fortunately, we are still alive. We just need to wait for his project to finish."
Wei Yan wiped her sweat carefully: "Yes, at least our Bai family is still here."
Mingdai also felt that this was a blessing in disguise.
After recovering, Bai Jingyi looked at Mingdai: "Why is Xiaoming so happy?"
Mingdai's eyes lit up and she told the story of the Tian sisters' visit.
Wei Yan smiled and nodded: "That's no problem. Leave it to uncle. It will be used for a specific purpose. No one else dares to touch it."
He looked at Ming Dai like a baby and said, "If Xiao Ming succeeds in this, it will be another great achievement for my uncle!"
Bai Jingyi was absorbed in reading the female hygiene manual written by Mingdai.
She was a science student and had some medical knowledge, so she naturally knew the value of the manual written by Mingdai.
After reading it, her eyes lit up and she looked at Mingdai with admiration: "Daidai, you are amazing! When I was your age, I only knew how to read books, but now you can write such a practical manual!"
Ming Dai touched her braid shyly and said, "Because I am a doctor and also a woman, I can relate to her."
Gu Sinian has read the handbook written by Ming Dai and was also shocked after reading it: "There are many doctors who empathize with me, but few are willing to spend money and energy to seek welfare for women. Ming Dai, you are amazing!"
Bai Jingyi nodded and said, "You don't know what a great thing you are doing! I don't plan to go back to work for the time being, so I'll stay in the provincial capital. If you need anything, Auntie can help you anytime!"
Mingdai looked at them and felt for the first time that it was good to have the unconditional support of family.
