Chapter 134
Deng You's mouth curved upward, he stood up and was about to greet Mr. Meng, but when he looked up, he met the eyes of Meng Nan who was equally surprised.
Meng Nan? Mr. Meng? Could it be that Meng Nan is Mr. Meng's niece?
Deng You just said that Feng Lun said that Mr. Meng’s mother is the president of Zhenxin Group, which owns a huge business empire.
If I remember correctly, Zhenxin Group started out by selling melon seeds? A video group that sells melon seeds is very different from selling melon seeds, right?
Zhenxin Group also has a pig farm and can open a chain of cold meat pig farms. How can a company with a market value of over 100 million be a pig farmer?
And Meng Nan’s mother is the boss of Focus Women’s Wear? Is she the so-called rural tailor? ? ?
How could Meng Nan deceive him like this!
Deng Yu had a dull expression and an extremely ugly face. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the end they all turned into hatred towards Meng Nan.
Meng Nan was unwilling to tell him because he was afraid that he would plot against their family? He was afraid that he would plot against the Meng family's property.
And what she said turned out to be right. He hooked up with Chen Qingqing for the sake of his future.
Deng You was extremely embarrassed, as if he had been slapped in the face in public. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he had known that Meng Nan was Mr. Meng's niece and had such a huge family business, he would have definitely treated her well and would never have fallen in love with someone else.
Fortunately, Chen Qingqing's father is the municipal party secretary. Even if he doesn't have Meng Nan, he still has Chen Qingqing.
Meng Nan realized later why her uncle had invited her to the dinner.
Meng Hua put the BMW key on the table, and Director Jiang immediately asked, "Mr. Meng just bought another BMW?"
"It's not new. I bought it for my little niece."
Director Jiang complimented, "You are so kind to your niece."
"Meng Nan is the first child of my Meng family. I raised her with my love. When I travel abroad with her aunt or go shopping in Hong Kong, I always buy her bags, skirts and other things. But this child is born with a lack of brains and doesn't like to enjoy life. I told her that she had graduated and needed a car to get around. A BMW car costs only a few hundred thousand. She can just drive it around. If she crashes it, I'll buy her a new one. But this child just doesn't want it. There's nothing I can do. I can only drive it myself."
Meng Hua did buy a car for Meng Nan, not only for her convenience in traveling, but also so that Zhen Zhen would have a car to ride when she came to Beijing.
Meng Hua is worth hundreds of millions, so spending hundreds of thousands to buy a car for his niece is not a big deal.
It's no different than giving someone a keychain.
Jiang Taichang laughed and said:
"Ms. Meng graduated from a prestigious university and has the demeanor of President Meng. I wonder what industry she plans to pursue? If she is interested, she can come to the TV station to gain experience. With Ms. Meng's looks and education, I am confident that she can become a pillar of our station after she becomes a full-time employee."
Meng Hua thanked him for his kindness, "I also think that the little girl can find a stable job. With elders like you, the care of her uncles, and the help of my father-in-law, what unit can't she go to? But she just doesn't want to, so she starts a business like her grandma. She is also quite capable. She started a sportswear brand before she graduated. It's called Nanxing Sportswear!"
"Nanxing?"
"Why, has Director Jiang heard about it?"
"Of course. Which shopping mall or commercial street in Beijing doesn't have Nanxing? My daughter likes this brand of sports shoes and sportswear. She says they have a sense of design and look young and good-looking! She also said that I look old-fashioned for wearing leather shoes! So this is Miss Meng's brand?"
"She hasn't even graduated yet, but she's already made tens of millions. It's not a lot, just a small fuss. Her grandmother said, Meng Nan, you've only made tens of millions, why are you wasting your time? Why not ask your mother's Focus Women's Wear to buy your Nanxing brand, and then you can do something else. Meng Nan was obedient and sold the brand to her mother."
"Does this mother and daughter need to charge money for transferring the brand?" Director Jiang joked.
"Hey, you don't know, Focus Women's Wear is going to go public! It's a serious large group, people want to see the financial statements, not a family business."
Director Jiang understood and found it strange. Mr. Meng was usually very low-key, so why was he so out of control so often?
"I heard that Zhenxin Group acquired dozens of bankrupt state-owned enterprises?"
"Yes, Director Jiang, my mother sees things further than I do. To be honest, at first, I couldn't understand her intentions."
Director Jiang is the head of a TV station and does not understand the intricacies of business. He listened attentively and said to Deng Yu:
"Xiao Deng, quickly pour wine for Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng, what did your mother say?"
"My mother is also amazing. She knew that we really wanted to build factories all over the country. The factory buildings were not enough. It would be a waste of money and time to build houses with cash, and it would take a while to find a good location. Now, after she bought the factory buildings, we can open factories all over the country! In just three months, the market share of Zhenxin cold meat has increased by 17%! We earn tens of millions more every quarter!"
Meng Hua became more and more excited as he spoke:
"That's not all. She also brought in production lines to revitalize 13 companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy. She also integrated resources and merged several state-owned rubber factories, planning to list them overseas. Well, according to my conservative estimate, she spent 200 million to acquire state-owned enterprises, and once they are listed, she can make hundreds of millions!"
Director Jiang expressed his admiration, "I've heard of your mother's name a long time ago. She is the largest advertiser on our station!"
"Thank you, President Jiang, for the opportunity."
"Hey, we still need you, the Sincerity Group, to support our advertising business!"
Deng Yu felt extremely upset.
How could he know that Meng Nan had such a family background! The superficial things Feng Lun said were enough to make him uncomfortable, but in the end, Meng Nan's family had hundreds of millions of assets in the blink of an eye.
Now that I think about it, Meng Nan always said that she was a country girl, but she acted generously and never felt inferior because she was a farmer.
She doesn't feel constrained when she goes to a western restaurant to eat, unlike him, who doesn't even know how to use a knife and fork, and feels very uncomfortable when being stared at by the waiters, and always feels that others are laughing at him for being old-fashioned.
She always orders several dishes every time she eats, unlike him who can just have rice in soup.
She said her clothes were worthless, and he believed her, but he had never seen anyone on the street wearing the same clothes as her.
Ms. Meng said that all her clothes were bought from abroad or Hong Kong, and her family also runs a clothing chain, so this makes sense.
Although her family has three children, there is no boy in it. If he is with Meng Nan and manages things well, half of the Meng family's fortune will be his.
Deng You couldn't find words to describe his regret. He was drinking sweet soup, but his mouth tasted bitter.
Meng Nan originally thought that his uncle was quite childish. Why should people argue over who is right?
She is lucky to break up with Deng You, a man who is calculating and calculating about women's property!
Who would have thought that Deng Yu was really not presentable?
After the banquet, Deng Yu approached Meng Nan, as if he wanted to apologize to her and ease the relationship, but Meng Nan ignored him and turned away.
On the way back, Meng Hua smiled and said, "Uncle helped you vent your anger. How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Meng Nan couldn't help laughing, "Uncle, you are so childish! You almost spilled all our wealth."
It was the first time Meng Hua did this and he found it funny.
"Who the hell does he think he is? How dare he look down on our big girl!"
"Don't call me Daya!"
"You can even make milk."
"Only my grandma can call me, my dad and mom can't."
Meng Hua was helpless. "Okay, okay, I won't call you uncle anymore. Is that not okay? I heard from your grandma, what kind of sanitary napkins do you want to make?"
Meng Nan was actually a little embarrassed to discuss the issue of sanitary napkins with her uncle, but she remembered what her grandmother said, that we women should not be ashamed of menstruation.
"I asked my aunt Su Xiu to help me contact the German production line. Once the price is agreed, it can be shipped to China."
“Have you prepared the packaging and sales plan?”
"It's ready. I plan to make a series for the general public and a series for young girls. Oh, and my grandma also suggested that I develop a night-time product so that it won't leak onto the bed at night."
Meng Hua is highly educated and he does not feel embarrassed at all when he talks about women's physiological common sense.
He never understood why girls always tried to hide their bad things.
Is it not okay to be open and honest? There is nothing special about it. Any man who has learned physiological common sense will understand.
"Your grandma is such a sales genius! Nighttime pads are so necessary!" Meng Hua turned left and spoke, "Your aunt said the pads she used were not long enough and would dirty the sheets when she slept at night. Your uncle had to get up in the middle of winter to wash the sheets. Your uncle had experienced that once and doesn't want to experience it again."
Meng Nan laughed out loud, "Then when I succeed in developing it, I'll send a few boxes to my aunt."
"Hey, what's the gift for? We'll just go to the mall and spend money to buy it!" Meng Hua laughed.
Meng Nan studied sanitary napkins on the market. Most sanitary napkins of that era were made of soft cotton and were very long. A pack of 12 sanitary napkins was about the size of an old-fashioned toilet paper.
Not only is it large in size, it is also bulging when used.
If Meng Nan wore jeans, there would be a bulge underneath, as if something was stuffed in it.
If the sanitary napkin is placed too close to the front, I will look like a man pretending to be a woman.
The more Meng Nan looked at it, the more he felt that there was a lot of room for improvement in sanitary napkins. "Grandma, this sanitary napkin is like a boat. If we develop one for night use, wouldn't it be even bigger?"
Sanitary napkins these days are really too big, and when folded in half they are as big as a palm.
"Sanitary napkins must be made thinner to reduce side leakage," Zhen Zhen added. "Sanitary napkins are expensive, and women are reluctant to change them frequently, so they need to be more absorbent."
"nice."
"We can't follow the example of those unscrupulous companies that use inferior cotton to produce substandard sanitary napkins for women."
"Of course! How can I produce sanitary napkins like that for women to use!"
Nowadays, sanitary napkins are all long and strip-shaped, without the small wings that are available in later generations. Zhen Zhen gave Meng Nan an idea, suggesting that small wings could be added to help fix the sanitary napkin to the underwear.
Zhen Zhen's design caught Meng Nan's attention.
"Grandma, you are a genius! I used to use sanitary napkins, but they would always get out of place when I put on my pants. I wanted to tie the sanitary napkin to my underwear without using a rubber band! Your design is amazing!"
There are sanitary napkins with wings on the market now, but they are not very popular and have a low market share.
Meng Nan also studied the sanitary napkins of island countries and found that the sanitary napkins used in island countries are all made of non-woven fabrics and perforated films, and are generally three-layer structures.
"Grandma, I will continue my research and development. I want our sanitary napkins to be more absorbent than those from the island countries!"
Zhen Zhen was very pleased that Meng Nan plunged into the research and development of sanitary napkins.
Zhen Zhen hadn't seen Si Ya for a few days, so he took Meng Nan to visit Si Ya's celebrity school.
Si Ya happened to be at school. When she saw Zhen Zhen, she ran up and hugged her tightly.
"Grandma, I miss you so much!"
Zhen Zhen patted Si Ya's back and said, "How is this school? Are you used to the living environment?"
"There's nothing I'm not used to, except that I'm not very interested in acting. My teacher knows that I like writing, so he suggested that I take the film student's directing or screenwriting major."
"What do you think?"
"It doesn't matter to me whether I study or not."
Si Ya has no interest in studying, so Zhen Zhen suggests that she should not waste her time and instead become a director and screenwriter and learn through practice.
Meng Nan told Si Ya about making sanitary napkins, and Si Ya was very interested.
"My new book is about to be released. My fans are all girls. We can put an advertisement in the book to promote sanitary napkins."
"That's a good idea!"
"We can also insert commercials into TV series."
“Great!”
"We can also buy billboards at bus stops and subway stations."
The two sisters were discussing the promotion of sanitary napkins.
Si Ya is going to write an article and publish it in the newspaper to explain menstrual hygiene knowledge to all women and recommend sanitary napkin brands.
"I will send the article to the newspaper after you register the trademark and launch the product."
"As expected of my sister!"
Meng Nan is not called the big sister for nothing. Her whole family, big and small, supports her in her business. Even her third child, who is studying at school, sends her a pager asking her to call them if she has any needs.
Meng Nan imported 4 production lines from Germany, 2 from Gangcheng, and 1 from Japan, a total of 7 production lines.
For a brand that has just started, 7 production lines are not a small number, but considering the total number of Chinese women, 7 production lines are really nothing.
Meng Daguo helped his daughter tidy up the factory, set up the sanitary napkin production line, and helped Meng Nan register with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Meng Nan had no business getting involved in any of these matters.
Meng Nan devoted himself to the research and development of sanitary napkins.
In addition to her own research, she also sent samples of her research to female employees in the factory for trial use, collected employees' opinions, and improved sanitary napkins.
At the end of this year, the sanitary napkin brand Anleshui, which had been improved many times by Meng Nan, was officially launched on the market.
Anleshui has a daily-use type in white packaging, a night-use type in black packaging, and even pink sanitary napkins for young girls.
In addition, AnleSleep is one-third thinner than the commonly used brands on the market!
Don't underestimate this one-third, it keeps women from feeling so stuffy in the summer and greatly improves the experience of use.
After sanitary napkins are launched on the market, how to promote them is the top priority.
In order to support his granddaughter, Zhen Zhen purchased sanitary napkins worth 100,000 yuan from Meng Nan and distributed them to employees every month as employee benefits.
"For female employees, 10 packs of toilet paper and 3 packs of sanitary napkins are provided each month, including daily and night use."
At the entrance of Zhenxin Department Store is the shelf of Anle Sleeping Napkins.
Supermarkets have dedicated salespeople who explain sanitary napkins to women.
But after half a month, Meng Nan was surprised to find that the sales of sanitary napkins had hardly increased.
Meng Nan was very frustrated and didn't know what the problem was.
Zhen Zhen smiled, "Isn't it simple? Xinyao County is just a county, with an underdeveloped economy and backward thinking, so the people are slower to accept new things. For new products like sanitary napkins, you should promote them in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Yangzhou and Shenzhen. There are many white-collar workers and well-educated women there, just like you, Meng Nan. Promote to them and let them influence their families. This is the easiest way."
Meng Nan suddenly realized, "Then my strategy of surrounding the city with the countryside is wrong?"
"That's totally wrong! Just like you still can't accept tampons, it's bound to be a long road for you to promote tampons to Chinese women."
Meng Nan realized that sanitary napkins were linked to income.
She began to adjust her strategy, placing advertisements in the media in big cities and arranging staff to promote the product on a daily basis to explain sanitary napkins to white-collar workers.
She also used distributors of Zhenxin Food to help promote Anle Sleep.
"Anyone who becomes an agent for Anleshui and reaches a certain sales amount can get Zhenxin food at a low price."
Anleshui was sold together with Zhenxin products, with half of the products sold and half of the products given away for free. Although it lost a lot of money during the early promotion, by the end of that year, Anleshui completely opened up the market.
Meng Nan can see AnleSleep on the shelves of many supermarkets.
The wing-protected sanitary napkins for comfortable sleeping have won praise from our female compatriots!
At the end of the year, with the placement of television commercials, the sales of Anleshui soared, and the seven production lines could no longer meet the production demand. At the end of the year, according to Meng Nan’s statistics, Anleshui had sold a total of 200 million sanitary napkins, making it a good companion for Chinese women.
Jiao Huilan is very proud that she is also using the AnleSleep sanitary napkin.
"Mom, Meng Nan is really like you, courageous and thoughtful. This sanitary napkin is so well made, the packaging is beautiful and thin, better than any I've used before."
Zhen Zhen is also proud of her granddaughter, but it's a pity that she has already gone through menopause!
Otherwise, use it up and down.
Old Lady Meng envied and said:
"You guys are lucky to have lived in a good era. We didn't have sanitary napkins back then. They were made of wood ash and corn leaves. Before I got married, I made a sanitary belt out of a piece of rag and stuffed it with straw. My mother scolded me for wasting things at home. Life was really hard back then. I often got inflammation, but no one cared whether I lived or died."
"Yes, times have progressed, women are making more money, and they care about their health. I saw a puppy using a sanitary napkin yesterday. Even dogs are benefiting from Mannan's success."
Jiao Huilan smiled and said, "Mom, yesterday Aunt Cuihua sent you some pickled vegetables, and Aunt Gouzi also sent you some chili sauce."
"It's Chinese New Year again. Time flies so fast."
"That's right. Arya can't come back for the New Year. I don't know when she will retire."
"She has won more than 40 gold medals, and the diving team is short of new players. How can the country bear to see her retire? Let her go!"
Zhen Zhen also wanted a granddaughter, but there was no way; she couldn't compete with the country for one.
