Shen Mingzhi said, "Compared to you, you're still far behind. Although your father's daily chemical factory can't earn foreign exchange, you still have other things to earn money from, don't you?"
These words made Jiang Huanyu feel quite uncomfortable.
After all... my father's daily chemical factory was the one that most wanted to earn foreign exchange and expand overseas.
“My father’s idea is that you share your formula, and we’ll help you connect with a German production line. What do you think?” Jiang Huanyu didn’t actually want to come today, but his father insisted.
The Jiang family's daily chemical factory also wants to export its products.
“You should know very well that the formula is an absolute secret. Your father is asking a bit too much of us. Your Jiang family’s daily chemical factory sold at low prices, and we gave up this market. Now you’re envious of our going abroad. Isn’t that a bit too greedy?” Shen Mingzhi’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Jiang Huanyu said, "That's what I meant too, but the old man insists on being greedy."
"Since you don't mean it that way, that's good." Shen Mingzhi's impression of him had improved somewhat because he had helped her outside, and she didn't want him to change it back.
"What about your production line in Germany?" Jiang Huanyu asked her.
"We're in touch, but how's your hand?" Shen Mingzhi didn't want to talk about this.
Jiang Huanyu raised his hand. "It's been ready for a long time. Isn't it a bit too late for you to ask now?"
"Indeed, I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to visit you," Shen Mingzhi said with a smile.
Jiang Huanyu could tell from the ease in her eyes that she had probably succeeded in contacting Germany, so why should he have gone to all that trouble?
"Although this isn't the first time our cosmetics have been exported, it's rare to see them sell for such a high price. Congratulations in advance!" Jiang Huanyu thought to himself that he was no match for Shen Mingzhi. With such strict inspections abroad, she was still able to get through customs; she was truly capable.
"Actually, I'm not as good as you," Shen Mingzhi said humbly.
If she hadn't possessed the advanced formula, she would never have been able to defeat Jiang Huanyu in terms of product quality.
Moreover, Jiang Huanyu is quick-witted, and he succeeds at whatever he does.
"I'll take that as a compliment," Jiang Huanyu said with a smile.
Shen Mingzhi hummed in agreement, then asked him if he wanted to come in for tea.
"No, go back and tell my dad you don't want to." Jiang Huanyu waved his hand.
After he left, Shen Mingzhi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
In mid-July, foreign businessmen came to inspect the factory.
Shen Mingzhi originally intended for Lin Xiaoyu to be the translator, but Lin Xiaoyu was a little nervous meeting the client, so Shen Mingzhi ended up doing it herself.
"You mean, your R&D team is from Peking Union Medical College Hospital?" The foreign businessman had obviously heard of Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Shen Mingzhi asked with a smile.
"Your Peking Union Medical College Hospital's surgical team is quite skilled... I've heard that. But are you sure this anti-aging product works?" Such products are rare even in their own country.
"Of course, if you follow our instructions and consistently apply the cream, and if you use certain techniques when applying it, it will be very helpful in reducing wrinkles," Shen Mingzhi said confidently.
The foreign businessman nodded. "May I see the ingredient list?"
“Here, this is the ingredient list. You can take it back and study it carefully. The anti-aging factors it contains are all verifiable,” Shen Mingzhi said.
“Okay, I’ll place an order for 50,000 pieces for now. If they sell well, I’ll contact you again. But… the main reason I came here this time is to ask you to introduce me to a factory that produces those brushes, specifically the full set of brushes for that makeup artist from the other day,” the foreign businessman said.
“That’s easy. I’ll call someone over for you when we have lunch. After lunch, you can go and visit them, okay?” Shen Mingzhi said with a smile.
"very good."
While the foreign businessmen continued to tour the factory's production line, Shen Mingzhi made a phone call, asking them to prepare properly at the factory so that the foreign businessmen wouldn't feel slighted and might not place an order.
After hanging up the phone, she returned to the production line.
Explain the products and show the workers the raw materials they produce.
As noon approached, Shen Mingzhi took the foreign businessmen to lunch. After lunch, she gave them some gifts to take with them.
They're just some old antiques, not very valuable now, but they'll be valuable in the future.
When she returned to the factory with Director Sun, she said, "Once the German production line comes back, we will ramp up production."
"How come you can speak English?" Director Sun felt as if she was proficient in everything.
"I learned it secretly recently," Shen Mingzhi said with an awkward laugh.
In August 1981, Poly's German production line was successfully installed, and after the parameters were qualified, it began to be put into production of new products.
In September, the first batch of products was shipped overseas.
After a series of tense waits, the anti-aging serum produced by Baoli successfully passed through the inspection of foreign customs.
On the eve of Christmas, which happened to be a Friday, Shen Mingzhi and the finance department tallied up the payments for goods received since August and discovered that they had actually earned nearly five million this year.
"It's twice as much as I imagined!" the accountant exclaimed in shock.
This was the first time he had ever encountered so much money!
"Let's see if we can earn more during the New Year. Speaking of which, I talked to the foreign businessman about the complete set of cosmetic tools he wanted. Our factory should also place an order for a batch to prepare for selling goods during the New Year," Shen Mingzhi said.
"How much do you think would be appropriate to order?" the finance department asked.
"Let's order 100,000 copies," Shen Mingzhi replied.
"Okay, whatever you say." The finance person immediately agreed.
Now everyone in the factory listens to Shen Mingzhi. After the new product was launched, Director Sun stopped getting involved in these matters and only occasionally helped with small things. Shen Mingzhi was in charge of all the big things.
"This month's salary is being paid in advance. You calculate it, and we'll go to the bank to withdraw the money in a bit." Shen Mingzhi was in a good mood today.
Although tomorrow is a Western holiday, it's a good time for them to relax.
If the foreign merchants' batch of anti-aging serums sells well, their year-end salaries might be even higher.
When it was time to get paid, Shen Mingzhi was a little late getting home.
Jiang Shaozhen waited for her in his office for a long time, wearing a coat.
When Shen Mingzhi returned to her office, she saw him reading a book. She walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You're late with payday. Let's go home."
"Okay." Jiang Shaozhen stood up, a smile on his face.
As the two walked out of Baoli's factory, Shen Mingzhi unconsciously glanced back.
Aside from renovating the employee dormitories, Baoli did not actually expand its production line scale; it only added one more production line.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Shaozhen asked her.
Shen Mingzhi remarked with emotion, "Today, the average monthly wage in the factory has reached three hundred yuan."
"So many?!" Jiang Shaozhen exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, we earned nearly five million in the second half of the year." Shen Mingzhi said with a smile.
Things will get better and better.
