Chapter 1169 Talk in Person
After finishing this period of work, the air conditioners in the unit had been installed, so Lu Miao returned to work.
In the past two years, the British Press has gradually recruited a group of talents.
The staff gradually increased, and many of the people who used to work below were promoted. With someone to share the work, Lu Miao was not that busy on a daily basis.
Plus, we just recruited new members from the school recently.
During school holidays, these newly recruited students would come to help with internships, doing some chores to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance.
With their joining, the younger comrades below can also take a break from the busy official duties.
For a while, the working atmosphere of the Guoying Society lost its usual hectic pace and became unusually comfortable.
When he had some free time at work, Lu Miao was slowly reading through the two document bags sent by the Ministry of Finance.
Chen Xiangdong found natural pigment powder and dye, and she would play with them when she had time after get off work every day.
When it comes to Chen Xiangdong's work, there is nothing to say.
He was busy growing cacti in the greenhouse a while ago and didn't have any free time.
After Lu Miao had a chat with him, Chen Xiangdong rushed to get the matter done while waiting for news from the newspaper.
There were more than ten kinds of colored powders and dyes, which really surprised Lu Miao.
Lu Miao originally thought that under the current conditions, it would be great if he could get two or three.
As I have more and more materials at hand, I can also get more innovative in the colors of lipsticks.
During Lu Miao's trial and adjustment period, the previously customized packaging sets of lipsticks and perfumes were also delivered.
She contacted Chen Xiangdong and asked Mei Zi to go and deliver some.
Then remake and box it according to the data previously recorded in the notebook.
After everything was done, Lu Miao asked Mei Zi to come and get it.
Also handed to Mei Zi was a lipstick that she had recently made by experimenting with other pigment powders and liquid dyes.
The lipstick packaging ordered by the factory includes not only the lipstick tube, but also a slightly larger fabric box with snaps on the outside.
When the box is opened, there is a slender mirror inside, which is convenient to carry and practical for women to touch up their lipstick or take pictures when going out.
Lu Miao packed up, put labels on the bags and put them in two bags for Mei Zi, while reminding her:
"The one with the outer box is the finished lipstick made with cochineal pigment powder. Take this back to Xiangdong and have him deliver it to Cheng Yingjie when he ships it to Guangzhou soon. This one without the outer box is made with new pigment powder, and the color has been innovated. But it still needs to be sent for inspection first to see if the ingredients meet the standards. Once they do, we can consider the next step."
"This bag needs to be sent for inspection. This bag is for Comrade Cheng..."
Mei Zi nodded slightly, lowered her head to examine it carefully, and raised her head again after a while to ask:
"Sister-in-law, how do you decide the price? And should we also sell some to our own store?"
"There's no rush about the price. Go back and tell Xiangdong to give the item to Cheng Yingjie first. If Cheng Yingjie is interested, ask him to contact me and I'll talk to him in person. As for the store..."
Lu Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued with a gentle smile:
"We'll also be selling lipstick later, but everything has to wait until the price is finalized."
Mei Zi nodded in understanding and went back to tell Chen Xiangdong the truth.
Chen Xiangdong did as Lu Miao said. Cheng Yingjie was about to return to Hong Kong on a cargo ship in Guangzhou.
Seeing that the items he received were new products, Cheng Yingjie took some of them for internal testing as soon as he landed in Hong Kong, and then asked the Urban Beauty in the company to try them out.
After confirming that the ingredients were fine and receiving very good feedback from colleagues at the company, Cheng Yingjie returned to Guangzhou half a month later. The first thing he did when he arrived at the branch was to contact Lu Miao.
As usual, the first thing to communicate is naturally price and availability.
However, when Cheng Yingjie was talking on the phone, Lu Miao said with a smile:
"Society is developing, and it's time for us to change our thinking. Past cooperation has been too rigid. Future development will only get better and better. I think we can be a little bolder."
Cheng Yingjie was confused and asked while holding the microphone:
"How do you say that?"
Lu Miao chuckled softly, and didn't rush to answer. Instead, he talked about something else:
"I remember discussing this with you before. Does your Hong Kong headquarters have its own advertising or performing arts company?"
Cheng Yingjie nodded, realizing that the other party couldn't see him from a thousand miles away, and added:
"Movie company, yes."
Lu Miao asked again: "Do you have a say in there?"
"It depends on what it is."
Cheng Yingjie stood in front of the window holding the microphone, squinting his eyes and looking at the few buildings in the distance, constantly wondering what Lu Miao wanted to say.
When Lu Miao heard his reply, he smiled again:
"If you think this product is good, we can sign a long-term contract. I promise to update the technology while maintaining product quality. If the product quality does not meet the standards, I am willing to pay 300% of the contract price as liquidated damages."
Generally, if problems occur, the compensation agreement is at most 20% of the contract amount.
Lu Miao dared to promise 300% in one breath. Cheng Yingjie knew her, so he didn't dare to say that she was exaggerating, but he could say that she was really playing big this time.
But if we analyze it from another perspective, it is enough to see her confidence.
After a brief thought, Cheng Yingjie laughed and said sarcastically:
"Then why don't you tell me what the prerequisites are for signing a long-term contract? If you dare to play such a big game, you can't be so unreasonable that you don't have any demands on me at all."
Lu Miao smiled and said, "I like talking to smart people, and I think you do too."
"uh-huh."
The two laughed briefly on the phone, and then Lu Miao told his thoughts.
She does have expectations.
She wanted to export, and Cheng Yingjie had a ready-made way.
But that alone is not enough.
She also needs more visual publicity.
This type of production line is just getting started, and the cost of direct advertising is too high. Moreover, if big data really takes off, it will be difficult to supply goods in the future.
But if I can use Cheng Yingjie's relationship, I can lay the groundwork in their film production team.
For example, if you insert a sentence at the end of a movie saying that the "xx" product is provided and sponsored by the "xx" brand company, the effect will be slightly slower.
This period of intermittent traffic diversion is both a trace of the brand's past and a buffer period for the gradual improvement of the production chain in northern Beijing.
"I'll provide the lipsticks needed by the relevant crews. In addition, I'll give you an extra 200 lipsticks of the same quality and packaging for each issue. Furthermore, if there are any new developments in color numbers in the future, I promise that you'll always have priority in selection and distribution during the contract period."
And she has only one purpose.
As for what it is?
Lu Miao smiled but said nothing.
I have made it very clear just now.
Cheng Yingjie is a smart man and there is no need for her to explain too much.
