Chu Chu recently signed up for the sports meet. Her sister said that she should cherish the opportunity to participate in activities during her school years, as they would be wonderful memories to look back on. Chu Chu returned from running on the playground and was about to reapply sunscreen when she reached for her bag, only to find it gone.
"Yuanyuan, have you seen my sunscreen?"
"No, I put it in your bag right after I used it. What's wrong? Can't find it?"
The two of them searched their bags thoroughly but couldn't find the sample.
When Chu Yu gave her this new product, she instructed that she could let others try it, but she couldn't give it to others. After all, it hadn't been launched yet. It was only because the domestic market was imperfect back then that there was no precedent for stealing other people's formulas. In later generations, such things would be company secrets and would have to go through a strict review process before they could be tried.
Chu Chu thought someone else had taken it and used it. She asked around, and everyone said they had put it in her schoolbag. The sunscreen seemed to have vanished into thin air, and Chu Chu couldn't find it when she got home from school.
"Can't find it?" Chu Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Sis, could it have been taken? Losing the stuff is a small matter, but what if she copies your formula?"
Chu Yu smiled. Once the product is launched, it can be sold in the store and anyone can buy it and copy it. But how easy is it to copy the ingredients of skincare products? Moreover, they have applied for patents for the core ingredients, so other companies cannot use them casually.
Given the current level of development of the domestic skincare market, even if the other party were to analyze her sunscreen formula, it would be impossible to replicate it.
"Don't worry, I will speed up the launch of the sunscreen to prevent others from seizing the opportunity."
Ya Ning Beauty Industry
"Sister Ya Ning, someone is looking for you outside."
Tang Xiaoqi, carrying her schoolbag, nervously glanced at the passersby. The secretary led her to Fu Yaning's office, and even after seeing Fu Yaning in person, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Fu Yaning sized up the young girl in the school uniform. She was quite young and looked like she was still in school. What did this girl want with her?
"You were looking for me?"
Tang Xiaoqi nodded, took out a sunscreen, and placed it in front of Fu Yaning, "This is Mandarin's new product..."
Fu Yaning's eyelids twitched. She had already planted people in Mandarin, but she didn't expect Tang Xiaoqi to appear halfway and steal Mandarin's new product.
Are you sure this is a new product from Mandarin?
"It's confirmed, it was her sister who brought it out. She said it was sunscreen, and it hasn't been released yet."
Sunscreen? Fu Yaning knew that well-known foreign skincare brands all had sunscreen, but Yaning didn't have that kind of product. The reason was simple: she had a raw material company in Guangdong province directly fill the packaging. Although filling doesn't require much technology, the finished product couldn't be completely ineffective.
If it has no effect at all, how can she continue to deceive people?
Even the cheapest skincare products provide basic moisturizing effects when applied to the face.
Sunscreen is different; it has to be able to protect against the sun. Fu Yaning had no direction before, but now that Tang Xiaoqi gave her this sunscreen, she can use it as a template, just like imitating clothing, to research the main ingredients and make an identical counterfeit.
She should hurry up and launch her sunscreen before Mandarin's, then she can cry foul and say that Mandarin copied Ya Ning.
Does Liu Mingchuan really think that just because he's good at making cosmetics and has a bit of talent in chemistry, he can make them?
Running a business is very different from doing scientific research. Zhou Chuyu is just a naive young girl who has no cunning or ability. In the end, this brand was actually orchestrated by Liu Mingchuan behind the scenes!
Fu Yaning thought that only if Liu Mingchuan would back down would she have a foothold.
With summer fast approaching, Chu Yu received some good news: the technology for Xibao's production line had been mastered by two junior employees!
These two employees were the same two who had worked through the night to repair the machine.
Robert was moved by their spirit and would occasionally "say the wrong thing" to give them some pointers. The two young men were also smart, and with Robert's help, they mastered the core technology of the production line in just over four months.
Shu Aiguo was overjoyed. When he called Chu Yu, his voice was full of excitement. "That's great! If there's another problem with this production line, we can just fix it directly. We won't have to go through the trouble of bringing in engineers from abroad anymore. It's exhausting and time-consuming!"
In the past, I was controlled by others, but now that I have mastered the technology, not to mention repairing machines, even rebuilding an identical machine is not a difficult task.
“We must keep our promise and give these two people a tangible reward,” Chu Yu said.
"Of course. What kind of person would my second uncle be if he didn't keep his word? I'm thinking of rewarding each of them with a house, or five thousand yuan in cash would also be fine. What do you think?"
Chu Yu had no objections. Houses in Deyang are cheap right now, so whether it's a house or cash as a reward, it can serve as an incentive, letting employees know that they will be rewarded for their efforts for Mandarin.
For a company to thrive, it must value its employees, acknowledge their worth, and foster a sense of belonging among them.
"Second Uncle, how's the recent acquisition of rosewood going?"
As the number of wealthy people increases, the purchase price of rosewood has risen sharply. Fortunately, Chu Yu had the foresight to stockpile a large amount of timber beforehand. Now, Xibao has hired several master craftsmen who make antique furniture, and with the production line, they can definitely make furniture that can be passed down through generations.
"Prices are high lately, so I bought some too. I'll send them to you later."
Chu Yu pondered that rosewood is a non-renewable resource; each batch harvested reduces the remaining supply. For both her and the entire market, this material is extremely rare and highly sought after.
