With Grandpa Cao solving the problem of the factory building, Shen Anning immediately arranged for repair craftsmen to tidy up the factory area.
As expected of a house built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the materials used are all solid, and a layer of lime is painted on the exterior wall, making it look like new. The entire factory area is not very large, but it is built in a very orderly manner.
After entering the factory gate, there is a three-story office building. Behind the office are two large canteens. Walking further along the stone road, there are six large factory buildings.
Shen Anning took Fang Yuan and the others on a tour of the entire factory. After democratic discussion, the office building and cafeteria remained as they were. Two of the six large factory buildings at the back were converted into warehouses for storing goods, one was renovated into a research center, and the other three were used as production lines after equipment was introduced.
The work of renovating the factory building is easy to do. A decoration team can complete it in less than half a month. The key point is that large equipment is difficult to handle.
Currently, there are no production lines for skin care products in domestic equipment. Most of them are industrial lathes. If skin care products are made entirely by hand using small distillation vessels, it would be too time-consuming.
After inquiring from many sources, she learned that there was a batch of equipment in Italy that met her requirements. However, it was easy for foreigners to invest in China now, and it was too difficult for Shen Anning to go out and buy equipment.
Just when she was at a loss, Mother Shen excitedly opened her door and said, "Ningning, there's news from your uncle. They will be back in two months."
Shen Anning was also very happy. She hadn't seen her uncle and aunt for many years. When they went abroad, An Yu and An Xuan were not yet born, and Shen Anning was only seven or eight years old. "Mom, is my uncle coming back as an investment businessman? Can I get those properties in Shanghai back?"
The Qin family was once a well-known capitalist family in Shanghai. All the old houses on the entire street belonged to the Qin family, as well as many shops and factories. When the eldest uncle of the Qin family was in a hurry to go abroad, he didn't have time to deal with those properties. Alas, I don't know how much he can get back.
Mother Shen knew the policy and thought of what her brother had said to her on the phone. She said, "It's probably impossible to return everything. Some houses have been demolished, and several factories are now state-owned factories. Your uncle said that we can only return our ancestral home and a few houses built by your grandfather. When your grandfather built those houses, he said that each child in our family would have one."
Mother Shen actually felt a little regretful when she spoke. Her parents died early due to illness. The Qin family was rich at the beginning, but a lot of the money was actually fixed assets. The original purpose of their father leaving those was for the future of them and their brother. Who knew that such a thing would happen later!
When my eldest brother went abroad, the situation was already very tense, especially the factory buildings and equipment. There was no time to do anything about it.
Shen Anning didn't notice that her mother was lost in thought, so she asked, "Oh, by the way, Mom, my uncle and aunt took my cousins to Switzerland, right?"
"ah?"
"Yes, they first took a boat to Hong Kong, and then went to Switzerland. Your uncle and his family opened a food factory in Switzerland and bought a lot of boats to start a transportation company. Your cousins are also married, and they came back this time on their own boat." Mother Shen was looking forward to it. She hadn't seen her brother and sister-in-law for more than ten years, and she didn't know if her brother and sister-in-law had changed, and whether her nephews and nieces looked the same as when they were little.
When Shen Anning heard about the ship, she already had an idea, "Mom, can you give me the contact information of my uncle? The machine we need for the skin care products we make is only available in Italy. I would like to trouble my uncle to stop by. It happens that they have a ship and can help transport it back."
"Okay, send a telegram. This is faster. Your uncle said he would be back in two months, but he might be back earlier."
After taking the address and contact information written by Shen's mother, Shen Anning did not delay and sent the manufacturer's address and the number of machines to be purchased to his uncle. Now that the last thing on his mind was solved, he really breathed a sigh of relief.
After all the factory buildings were renovated, the name at the factory gate was changed to "Hua Yan". This name was decided unanimously after discussion. It implies that they hope girls will love themselves more, keep a flower-like appearance and please themselves. At the same time, because most of the products they developed come from flowers and medicinal materials, this name is also appropriate.
The factory name at the gate was written by Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Cao together. There was nothing the two old men could do as they refused to give in and had been arguing for a long time about this matter, so in the end each of them wrote a word, and the winner of the rock-paper-scissors game got to choose first.
On the day when the factory was officially unveiled, all the city leaders came. Of course, this was not because of Shen Anning and her group of students, but because of the face of the two old men. One was a founding general, and the other was a business tycoon who was once the richest man and still holds huge wealth.
Besides, the Huayan series of lipsticks are very popular recently. Not to mention others, even the women in their family, thanks to countless connections, have one in their hands and can’t put it down.
Looking at Shen Anning's group of kids, most of them haven't graduated yet, and the leaders didn't discourage the enthusiasm of the young people. After all, there is a saying that it's good to lean on a big tree for shade, so they expressed full encouragement to them.
They were all just little kids, so innocent. Those people in Fangyuan had no idea that what the leader said were just polite words. When the leader shook hands with them and hoped that they would work hard to make the brand bigger and sell well all over the world, they nodded their heads like rattles and were full of confidence!
Because large-scale production equipment has not yet arrived, the factory's current production still mainly relies on traditional ancient equipment and manual labor. In addition to lipstick, they also make toner with hydrating and moisturizing effects, all of which are pure dew extracted from flowers.
