Chapter 102

The sewing machine that Zhao Meilan bought for Meng Hua has also arrived. The control over sewing machines has not been so strict in recent years, but they are still hard to buy.

Zhao Meilan bought the best sewing machine on the market. "It's shiny and bright! You can tell it's a good product at first glance."

Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Our family owes a lot to you."

How could Zhao Meilan dare to accept this favor?

Zhao Meilan and her husband made tens of thousands of dollars with the help of Sister Zhen, and their wealth increased several times with the help of Meng Daguo. They already had enough money to build a Western-style house and buy a big color TV. The reason they chose to keep a low profile was simply because Zhao Meilan worked in a department store and was afraid of being envied.

"Sister Zhen, why are you being so polite to me? By the way, Meng Hua said that this sewing machine was bought for my sister?"

Zhen Zhen pointed at Su Xiu, "Su Xiu. Su Xiu, this is Zhao Meilan, you can just call her Sister Meilan."

Su Xiu shouted and lowered her head as Zhao Meilan looked at her.

Zhao Meilan heard Meng Hua talk about the Meng family and knew that Su Xiu was uncomfortable, so she immediately said:

"Su Xiu, right? Sister Meilan taught you how to use a sewing machine. You have to take good care of it so that you can use it more often."

Su Xiu couldn't believe her eyes that one day she would have her own sewing machine.

The ticking sound of the sewing machine was so pleasant to the ears that Su Xiu felt like crying.

"Have you learned it?" Zhao Meilan handed the cloth in her hand to Su Xiu, "Come, try it."

Su Xiu stepped on the sewing machine and quickly made a coin purse.

Zhao Meilan's eyes widened, "Sister Zhen, you are really amazing! You made a bag in just three or five steps. If you learn it well, you will definitely be able to design women's clothing for you guys."

Su Xiu was so embarrassed by the compliment that she even forgot to consider the three words "your girl" that Zhao Meilan said.

Zhen Zhen didn't expect Su Xiu to have such potential.

"Not bad. If you want to learn, then study hard. It's always good to have many skills."

Su Xiu nodded shyly.

Meng Daguo asked Meng Eryong to carry the sewing machine upstairs and put it in Su Xiu's room, and also moved the table and wardrobe up.

Although this little room is small, it has everything needed. Su Xiu easily owns a wardrobe that other people don't even need after getting married.

Tao Aihong curled her lips. "Girl, are you really so coquettish?"

Look at Su Xiu's style. She lives on a high-end wooden bed, wears a down quilt, uses a wardrobe and a desk, operates a sewing machine, and wears a down jacket.

The rich girls in the city don't have such a good luck as her.

Su Xiu had natural talent, and with the guidance of Jiao Huilan's store staff, she made rapid progress and was able to make clothes and skirts independently within a few days.

Meng Hua was gone for two days and looked quite calm when he came back, but Jiang Dongping looked very excited.

"Auntie, the Second Pharmaceutical Factory is indeed a state-owned enterprise. They have strong production capabilities and the oral liquid they made before was quite effective, but they just don't know how to promote it. My brother Meng Hua said that he plans to add something to the oral liquid and put it back on the market."

Zhen Zhen gave Meng Hua a meat bone and asked:

"Add what?"

"My brother Meng Hua said that there is something called melatonin in Hong Kong that can help with sleep, slow down aging, and treat cardiovascular diseases."

Zhen Zhen was shocked. Is melatonin widely used in this era?

The third son is indeed a crooked businessman among crooked businessmen. The ideas that she got by cheating can be thought of by others just by using their brains.

"Old Three has insomnia? Why is he eating this?"

Meng Hua was in a good mood because his mother cared about him. "I went abroad to visit a diamond mine before. I couldn't sleep due to jet lag, so the doctor in Hong Kong prescribed me melatonin. This thing can help people fall asleep. Let's add melatonin to the oral liquid. In this way, the oral liquid we produce has the nourishing effect of ginseng and royal jelly, and can also help sleep. It will definitely sell well."

Zhen Zhen really admired him, "Do you want to make some other products?"

"No hurry," Meng Hua smiled. "Jiang Dongping and I usually don't dress well, so no one will take us seriously wherever we go. But when I wear a suit and speak in unstandard Cantonese, I can package myself as a Hong Kong businessman who has come to invest in the mainland. As long as we know how to promote it, a product can sell like hot cakes."

Zhen Zhen agreed with him that some people made hundreds of billions of dollars by selling one or two health products.

"The Chinese medicine factory is willing to sell the oral liquid formula to you?"

"We don't have to spend money to buy it. As long as we find a Chinese medicine factory to do the processing, the Chinese medicine factory will give it to us for free."

“When can it be put into production?”

"I'll get the melatonin product ready after I return to Beijing, and we can start production right away."

Zhen Zhen is thinking about finding a professional to do the packaging. "The packaging should be high-end, targeting the gift-giving market for the middle-aged and elderly."

"I understand! Wenyin knows a lot of college students who are designers. It won't cost much to ask them to draw pictures."

Everything is ready, it's time to talk about investment and profit sharing. Zhen Zhen has hundreds of thousands of dollars in his hands, and Meng Hua is not short of money either. It all depends on how much Jiang Dongping can come up with.

Jiang Dongping had three children to raise, and Meng Li's salary was not high, so the couple lived a tight life. He really couldn't afford to spend much money, but Meng Huayuan was in Beijing, and Zhen Zhen couldn't afford the health products. Jiang Dongping had no choice but to take a one-year sick leave without pay from his unit to see how the health products business was going.

"I have agreed with Meng Li that if the business is good, I will sell the job to someone else. If not, I will go back to work."

Zhen Zhen thought this was a feasible idea, as it wouldn't cost much to hire a contractor. Zhen Zhen and Meng Hua could afford more money, so they would each take 40% of the shares, while Jiang Dongping couldn't afford much money, so he would take a dry share and take 20%.

"Before Meng Hua returns to Beijing, let's decide on a name for the health supplement."

Meng Hua thought of two, called Naoqingsong and Ruikang Oral Liquid.

Jiang Dongping thought these two names were good. "How about Brain Formula? Or Brain Fitness, Pyramid, Fu Shou Kang, Fu An Kang!"

Zhen Zhen was thinking about the equation in his head, which was pretty good. "Golden Couple, Bio-Excellent Oral Liquid?"

Meng Hua wrote down all these names. Taking into account the low cultural level of ordinary people, he preferred the names Naoqingsong, Naochengfang and Baiyou!

It happened that all of my mother-in-law's employees had come to work, so Meng Hua gathered everyone together and wrote their names and the slogan she had just made up on a small blackboard.

Song Xiaoyu stared at the blackboard, "Nao Qingsong, everyone praises me as a filial son because I am never stingy when giving gifts to my parents. Listen to me, only give Nao Qingsong gifts! Brother Meng Hua, this slogan is really loud and clear. Seeing it makes me want to buy a few boxes for my mother to try."

"Brain equation, our brain is like a complex equation, brain equation, connect your brain. After drinking brain equation, my son won't have to worry about me not being able to sleep anymore!" Jiao Huilan suppressed her smile, "Don't tell me, I remembered the slogan that my third brother came up with as soon as I heard it."

Meng Nan also came over and said, "Bio-Excellent Oral Liquid. Drink it and take a nap. When you wake up, all your worries will be gone. Bio-Excellent Oral Liquid is the golden partner for the elderly."

Sanwa muttered, "I like to feel relaxed in my head and sound relaxed."

Arya: "I like my mind to be relaxed, too. I like my mind to be relaxed."

Si Ya: "It makes your brain feel relaxed, and it helps you grow brains after drinking it."

Zhen Zhen thought that Meng Hua’s slogan was really good and quite brainwashing.

There are few advertisements these days, and ordinary people have not been exposed to advertisements. After the oral liquid is launched on the market, it will be advertised on CCTV during the best time slot, and the effect will definitely be very good.

Everyone has always felt that Nooqingsong is better, so Meng Hua decided to register the Nooqingsong brand first.

"Why not register them all and keep them for future use?" Zhen Zhen suggested.

Meng Hua smiled flatteringly, "Mom, mother and son are connected by heart, and I think so too."

After Meng Hua finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Dongping out to whisper. No one knew what they were whispering about, but they insisted on doing it behind Zhen Zhen's back.

It was not until the evening that Zhen Zhen learned the reason from Tan Wenyin.

It turns out that Meng Hua was planning to make a Shenbao oral liquid, the kind that would benefit both him and me.

Tan Wenyin blushed, "Mom, is there really anyone who would buy this oral solution?"

Male enhancement is a lifelong issue for men.

Zhen Zhen said meaningfully: "Wen Yin, you are still young and don't understand men. Old people worry about health and life span, women worry about appearance and figure, and men worry about their ability in that aspect!"

Tan Wenyin blushed. Meng Hua was quite capable. He said he could use it until he was seventy years old.

Tao Aihong nodded while eating melon seeds, "Mom is right, if this thing really exists, I will buy two boxes for my son Eryong to try."

Tan Wenyin and Zhen Zhen looked at Tao Aihong at the same time.

Tan Wenyin's face turned even redder, as if she knew some terrible secret.

Isn't this a hereditary thing? Meng Hua is so good at it, there's no reason why Meng Eryong can't do it!

Bah! Whether Second Uncle is capable or not is not something she should worry about.

Meng Hua still has to go on a business trip to Hong Kong and doesn't have much time to spend on health products. He plans to return to Beijing early to resolve the trademark and advertising issues.

It's easy to get things done if you have someone in the court. Meng Hua has connections in Beijing. With his ability in negotiation, it's just a matter of opening his mouth for him to get advertising approval, not to mention that they pay him a lot of money.

Meng Hua wanted to leave, but Zhen Zhen didn't stop him. She had a clearer and clearer understanding of the subject of life. Reunion was never the main theme, but separation was.

Zhen Zhen packed some halved pig's trotters and halved chicken feet for them to take away, and also put some halved dried beans and halved kelp made by Jiao Huilan in lunch boxes, which Tan Wenyin loved to eat.

Zhen Zhen also brought a lot of souvenirs for Tan Zheng. They were all homemade, nothing special, but the taste was authentic, and Tan Zheng loved it.

In addition, Zhen Zhen also brought them a lot of snacks.

"It's not something expensive. Take it to your dad to try. I'll send it to you later to see what kind of snacks he likes."

Tan Wenyin accepted it without hesitation. Although Jing City was more developed than Xinyao County, her mother-in-law had many snacks that were not available in Jing City. Tan Wenyin loved them so much that she wanted to drive a truck to load them.

Jiao Huilan has her own insistence: if someone in the family goes away, they have to eat dumplings.

After finishing their meal of dumplings, the two packed up their food and prepared to call a rickshaw to go to the station.

Su Xiu suddenly walked out, lowered her head and stuffed something into Tan Wenyin's bag.

Tan Wenyin took them out halfway through and saw that they were actually several handmade bras.

There is no support in the bras on the market these days.

Tan Wenyin would ask Meng Hua to bring her things from Hong Kong, but the man didn't know how to buy things. The size he bought was always wrong and the clothes were uncomfortable to wear. Her breasts were not big and she always staggered when she walked.

But I don’t know what Su Xiu added to the bra, but it’s very supportive.

Tan Wenyin was obviously surprised. She went to the restroom at the station to try it on. This time she was even more surprised! The size Su Xiu made was exactly right for her. The bra was very supportive and tightly wrapped around her big white rabbits. They didn't shake even when she went downstairs or jogging.

Tan Wenyin was extremely surprised. This is much more comfortable to wear than the small vests sold outside!

Tan Wenyin leaned over and told Meng Hua about this.

Meng Hua raised an eyebrow, "Is it really that good?"

"Really? I haven't studied design, so how did you figure it out?"

"It must be talent! There are no ordinary people in our family."

“That’s true.”

Tan Wenyin came to Xin Yao County and was quite impressed.

Her mother-in-law is nice, her sister-in-law is kind, and the living conditions at home are not bad. More importantly, the family atmosphere is very good. This is the harmony and happiness she has always hoped for.

"My little sister has inherited her mom's good genes. If she sells bras, she will definitely make a lot of money."

When Tan Wenyin arrived in Beijing, she called and told Zhen Zhen about the underwear incident. Only then did Zhen Zhen realize that Su Xiu was the one who was instigating this.

Su Xiu was a little shy. There were no stores selling underwear in those days, and most people used old clothes to make vests to cover their chests.

In the past, Su Qiang always stared at her chest, so Su Xiu didn't dare to straighten her back. She always hunched her back to make her breasts look smaller. Even so, Su Qiang would often bump into her chest and rub her private parts.

Su Xiu didn't dare to resist and could only think about making thick underwear to protect herself.

She thought about putting a cotton pad in the chest of her bra.

But the cotton pad has no support, and for a woman with big breasts like hers, the support is far from enough.

Su Xiu tried to wear bamboo inside a cotton pad, but the bamboo would poke the skin. Until one day, Su Xiu picked up a few steel bars on the road and put them into the chest pad. It turned out that it could significantly reduce the vibration.

Su Xiu knew that Tan Wenyin had the same trouble, so she kindly made a few underwear for her. This kind of thing could be done secretly, but who would have thought that Tan Wenyin actually told Zhen Guizhi.

Zhen Zhen saw her blushing and said with a smile:

"What's there to be embarrassed about? We're both women. I have what you have, too."

Su Xiu nodded and rubbed her fingers nervously.

"Since you want to be self-reliant, why not make some underwear and sell it?"

Su Xiu's eyes widened, and she looked confused. "Can... it work?"

"Why not? Just put it in your sister-in-law's clothing store and let her sell it for you secretly. The money from the sale will be yours."

Su Xiu was a little embarrassed and said, "Let's split it equally."

Zhen Zhen picked up the underwear she had placed on the bedside and tried it on. "Well, it's really good. The button part at the back could be made wider so it doesn't squeeze me."

"good."

"The cotton pad inside can be improved. It should be breathable and soft. After all, comfort is the most important thing."

"Okay." Su Xiu said obediently.

Su Xiu never imagined that the underwear she made on a whim could be sold in a store.

She is a person of action. After two days, she had modified the buttons, shoulder straps and bra pads of the bra. After five days, she had made ten underwire bras.

When Song Xiaoyu saw the underwear she made, her eyes widened. "She is worthy of being the daughter of my Aunt Guizhi! The whole family has ideas and knows how to make money!"

Su Xiu was used to being self-deprecating and was not used to being praised by others. "I didn't do anything."

"You call this doing nothing? To be honest, I really need this kind of underwear. It doesn't squeeze me when I put it on, and it doesn't swing when I run. Su Xiu, you've done a great thing!"

Song Xiaoyu felt that this was simply a women's revolution.

She kept one for herself, "I'll keep one for my sister and my mom, but I don't know their sizes."

"If Aunt Cuihua and Sister Xiaohong want it, I can make it for them anytime."

Song Xiaoyu nodded and looked at herself in the fitting mirror conceitedly, "Su Xiu, your underwear is really nice, it makes me look more erect, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

"Five dollars?"

The main reason is that steel rings are valuable and difficult to obtain. It was Zhao Meilan who helped Su Xiu find the steel rings.

"Five dollars? But Aunt Guizhi said that a bra with a steel ring like this in Hong Kong costs two hundred dollars!"

"Two hundred yuan?" Su Xiu's eyes widened, obviously shocked. "Are you crazy? Even if the steel ring is valuable, it can't be sold at such a high price."

When underwire bras first came into the mainland, they were very expensive. Zhen Zhen thought that even if Su Xiu's bras were a low-end version, they wouldn't cost five yuan.

"Let's sell it for ten yuan first. Not everything is suitable for small profits but quick turnover. Good things should be sold at a high price." Zhen Zhen made the decision.
