Chapter 158: Affordable lotion and milk received rave reviews

"The biopharmaceutical industry is indeed a blue ocean industry at present. If you find the right direction, it is not difficult to make money in this industry."

Of course, Shen Linglan didn’t know that biology was a blue ocean industry. The above words were said by a short video blogger who called himself a "master" on a short video platform that she had just seen.

She took a quick look and then turned off the video.

Shen Linglan didn't know much about making money. After all, her money was given by the system, and from time to time she would reach the upper limit of 10 billion yuan.

Among the information delivered by Huang Linfeng was the financial situation of Shen Zhaoshan’s company.

In the past two years, his company's earnings have been good, and even showing a trend of getting better and better. The money he made is no longer considered a well-off life, but is heading towards the direction of being a wealthy person.

Shen Linglan sent the business situation of his company to the professional agent of SZ Biosciences. Unexpectedly, he replied to Shen Linglan and said that he had also conducted specialized research on this company and it was developing very well and would become a leader in the industry within five years.

"What about SZ?"

Shen Linglan typed these words on the keyboard and then deleted them.

How can SZ Biotech become a leader in the industry? Other biotech companies build laboratories to develop new products for the company and then sell the products to obtain the company's profit capital.

SZ Biosciences is just wasting money. The lab is indeed constantly developing new products, but these new products are not used in this world and they don't make any money at all.

However, in order to conceal her tracks, Shen Linglan hired several professional elites to develop some painless and non-itching health products on the first floor of the laboratory to supplement the human body with various vitamins.

Although the market is already saturated with such products, the ones developed in SZ Laboratory are of better quality. Shen Linglan even invested some money in publicity, and the sales performance is quite good.

But compared with the amount of money SZ Biosciences spends every month, this amount of income is just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.

Shen Zhaoshan's company develops some skin care products.

There are commonly used skin care products such as cleansers, creams, masks, and purifiers. Each of them has different functions, such as whitening, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, acne removal, etc.

They even used the product's domestic production label and the gimmick of being more suitable for Asian skin to buy massive advertising campaigns for marketing, and they actually sold the product.

Data showed that Shen Zhaoshan's company made a profit of tens of millions last year, and its sales accounted for 30 percent of the total sales of domestic skin care products.

"It's amazing," Shen Linglan read through the pages one by one, feeling a little puzzled, "How come this guy has so much money? His company is actually doing pretty well, is there someone with great advice?"

Zhao Yunduo was gnawing on sugarcane in the other side of his consciousness, so there was no sign of indifference or heartlessness towards outsiders.

After she spat the sugarcane residue into the trash can, she said gossipingly, "Maybe his second wife has business talent."

"Shen Zhaoshan is not that lucky. His new wife is similar to my original mother. She bullies the weak and fears the strong, especially her husband."

But it doesn't matter whether he was just lucky or just happened to be in the right position.

The important thing is that he bumped into Shen Linglan for no reason and caused trouble for her.

Shen Linglan certainly couldn't let him continue to develop, otherwise, if what the career manager said was true, Shen Zhaoshan would achieve a small goal sooner or later.

"Check Shen Zhaoshan's company to see if there is any tax evasion."

While Shen Linglan sent a message to Huang Linfeng, asking him to continue investigating, she searched the Internet for products developed by Shen Zhaoshan's company. Unexpectedly, this product had good sales and a good reputation.

During last year's e-commerce festival, their company's products sold particularly well, exceeding the sales in the first three quarters of the festival.

There are also rave reviews online. No matter which product it is, it is almost difficult to find negative reviews on the Internet platform. Occasionally there are one or two reviews, but they are labeled as water army reviews and sent by another domestic lotion to specifically discredit the opponent.

This product of Shen Zhaoshan’s company is called “Hawthorn” and is very affordable, ranging from 20 to 99 yuan. Even the essence does not cost more than 100 yuan.

"Hawthorn... this brand is so great, how come I have never heard of it?"

Shen Linglan mumbled a few words, and Zhao Yunduo on the other side thought for a moment and said, "I remember that the advertisement seemed to say that it was affordable, domestically produced, cost-effective, good for oily skin, and also had a reputation for improving skin quality. It was especially famous in the student circle and was said to be the first skin care product that student groups must buy."

Although the price was low, Zhao Yunduo still thought it was too expensive. She used a bottle of Xiaobao Moisturizing Lotion for a whole winter and dared not buy any other products.

The reviews and recommendations she found online were basically the same as what Zhao Yunduo said, which made Shen Linglan feel that she had spent thousands of dollars on skin care products and had been ripped off. It seemed that none of them were as effective as this facial cream that cost only fifty or so dollars.

"There are many negative reviews for Fairy Water, but a cheap lotion has received positive reviews from all over the internet. If you say that this lotion is hydrating and moisturizing, I don't think there is much to complain about. But if you say that it has so many acne-clearing and whitening effects... I don't believe it."

Shen Linglan really felt that there was something fishy about this product, but Shen Zhaoshan was too willing to hire trolls, and she couldn't find any useful negative reviews. All the online reviewers gave it positive reviews after their reviews.

She thought about it and decided to let Chen Mengxue use a small account, fill in a few inconspicuous addresses, and buy three sets of Shen Zhaoshan's "Hawthorn" series products. After the goods arrived, she would let the researchers in the first floor of the laboratory who were responsible for researching health products disassemble these things and analyze their components.

See if there is anything in there that shouldn't or can't be added.

After doing all this, Shen Linglan called the number left by Shen Zhaoshan.

Unexpectedly, when I called, it was Shen Zhaoshan's assistant who answered the phone. "Hello."

When she heard that it was not Shen Zhaoshan's voice, Shen Linglan immediately lost interest. Just when she was about to hang up the phone, the female voice on the other end suddenly asked, "Excuse me, is this Miss Shen Linglan?"

Shen Linglan didn't expect the other party to know it was her, so she responded, "Yes."

"Ms. Shen!" the female assistant said excitedly, "Hello, I finally got your call! The president asked me to keep my phone on 24 hours a day, just waiting for your call. Please wait, I'll give the phone to the president right away!"

Just as she was speaking, Shen Linglan heard the sound of footsteps coming from the other end of the phone. She could tell that the assistant was wearing a pair of very thin and high heels, but her steps were light. Soon, the phone was handed over to Shen Zhaoshan.

"Linglan, you finally called me."

Shen Zhaoshan on the other end of the phone laughed, with a bit of pride and the confidence of a superior.
