Happy Shennong

Chapter 187 New Ideas
While Linley was concerned, he also had a brief look at Zhong Ling's recent situation, and learned that Zhong Ling was busier than he imagined, and sometimes he didn't even have time to eat, so he felt a little sorry.

"Ling'er, I'm sorry..." Linley said apologetically, "It was I who first proposed the idea of ​​letting you hold two jobs. I took it for granted that it was just a little busy, but I didn't expect that you would be busy." My meals are not on time. Hey, I hurt you."

Zhong Ling shook his head and said, "Linley, don't say that. What you gave at that time was indeed the best policy. It's too late for me to thank you. Besides...you said it just now, you just made a suggestion , and I was not forced to agree. Everything I did was voluntary."

"If you don't know the inside story, I will definitely advise you not to fight so hard. I know that everything you do is for your mother, and you will not back down. However, I still want to say that if my aunt can know, her old man will definitely Those who are proud of you will also be very satisfied with you. So, I think you just do your best, you can fight properly, but you must also pay attention to taking care of your body."

"Thank you for your concern. Don't worry, my father, uncle and you understand me and support me. I am still young and have plenty of energy. I believe that I will be able to persevere. It is to avoid becoming a yellow-faced woman prematurely. In the future I guess it will take a lot of time and thought to do beauty..."

Linley grinned and said, "Ling'er, you are a representative of natural beauties, are you still worried about your appearance?"

"Time is a ruthless killing knife, and no one can escape it. You see, I have bags under my eyes now, and my skin has become much rougher. If I don't take care of it in time, I won't dare to go out to see people for a long time. .”

"It's not that exaggerated, you are still very beautiful now. By the way, Linger, can I ask a private question?"

"Private question?" Zhong Ling frowned and said, "Hmm... you don't mean to ask me about my measurements?"

Linley blushed, and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no. I just want to ask, how much money do you spend on maintaining your facial skin every month? And the friends in your circle, they spend every month How much is the expenditure in this regard?"

"Uh...why do you ask this suddenly? Could it be...you want to take care of it too?"

"That's not it."

Zhong Ling didn't ask any more questions, and stroked her chin for a while and said, "The face is the most important thing for a woman to maintain her makeup, and the cost of maintenance for a woman's face, conservatively estimated, will account for more than 80.00% of similar expenses. Take me as an example, the monthly spending on cosmetics and beauty salons exceeds [-] yuan. Among them, more than [-]% are spent on my face."

"So much?" Linley was a little surprised. He really didn't know if he didn't ask, but he was startled when he asked.

He still clearly remembers that before returning to his hometown to start a business, when he participated in a job fair, he filled in his resume with an intended monthly salary of [-].Because he checked, the vast majority of fresh graduates have a monthly salary between [-] and [-], and he chose almost the average.In the end, it was all reduced to [-], but I still haven't found a job.

The wages of urban white-collar workers are actually not high, ranging from three thousand to eight thousand.Those who can exceed [-], either work in a very small number of particularly good companies, or are small leaders.

And Zhong Ling spent more than [-] a month on makeup and maintenance.To put it more bluntly, three or four fresh graduates work hard for a month, or two or three urban white-collar workers work together for a month, and they can barely afford Zhong Ling's make-up and maintenance. Drinks will be calculated separately.

It can also be seen from this that a woman like Zhong Ling cannot be pursued by any man...

Of course, this is not what Linley is feeling at the moment.

As for Zhong Ling, noticing that Linley's expression was exaggerated, he shrugged and said, "Actually, I don't spend much, because I'm too busy and don't have much time for maintenance. As far as I know, there are quite a few people in my circle. , it costs tens of thousands a month for maintenance, and over ten thousand for makeup.”

"I finally understand why selling cosmetics is so profitable now." Linley suddenly realized, "I also finally understand the meaning of the phrase 'women make the best money'. What I am curious about is that when women buy cosmetics , won’t you hesitate because of the price?”

"Of course I will. Make-up maintenance is important, but you should save the money for food. I once talked with the employees in the store. As far as I know, for ordinary white-collar workers, the money for cosmetics every month , about a quarter of wages. If certain cosmetics cost more than that, the vast majority of people will replace them.”

Linley touched his temples and said, "Even if it's only a quarter, that's not a lot, and there are a lot of people. Can I understand that a large part of the wages of female white-collar workers don't flow into the supply of cosmetics?" the merchant's pocket?"

"You can say it like this. I'm afraid there are no urban girls who don't wear make-up." Zhong Ling smiled and said, "Linley, don't you want to get involved in this business? The cosmetics industry is really profitable, and It is not yet developing steadily. However, there are many people entering this industry, and the competition is huge. If you want to make a lot of money, it is definitely not as easy as growing vegetables."

Linley waved his hand: "I have no plan to resell cosmetics."

"Huh?" Zhong Ling was taken aback, "Then what is your purpose for asking about this?"

"It's like this. I'm currently developing a skin care product. If successful, this product can not only be used for beauty, but also for removing scars."

"Linley, are you kidding me? Your old profession is to grow vegetables, why do you want to develop cosmetics? These two things are not next to each other at all..."

"Actually, I also thought of it by accident. It's just that I'm a complete layman in makeup and maintenance, so I'm looking for you to learn about the general market."

"Then what exactly are you developing, and what is the current progress?"

Linley thought for a while and said, "It's an emulsion, it's still in the configuration stage."

"Oh...Lei, in fact, the cosmetics industry is not easy to do, especially for new brands. It is difficult to gain a foothold without spending a lot of money on publicity and advertising. The key is to have good results, otherwise, it is easy to be caught Countless cosmetic brands have disappeared. Another point is that the cosmetics industry has high requirements, and if there are side effects that hurt people, it will be a big problem and may result in a lawsuit.”

"I know, I don't plan to do this business exclusively, it's just a side job. It's just like doing medical treatment, earning some pocket money. As for the effect, I don't dare to make a conclusion yet. I will follow up with the finished product when I have the finished product. Tell me."

Zhong Ling nodded: "Then you configure it first. Before you are absolutely sure, it is best not to test it on people. Even if there are no side effects, everyone's skin quality is different. If you change cosmetics suddenly, you may have allergies or something." adverse symptoms."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. Then let's do this first. You should go back to rest earlier, and we should go back too."

"Why, aren't you going to sing today?"

"I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can't stay up too late at night. Let's go, goodbye..."

Linley bid farewell to Zhong Ling and led the team back to the village.On the way back, he also asked Liu Yuxuan and Du Wen about the cost of women's makeup and maintenance.Although neither of the two beauties gave specific numbers, the ratio was quite large, almost as small as what Zhong Ling said.

They spend less than urban white-collar workers. The main reason is that they all live in the countryside and are native rural people. Although they also have a beauty-loving nature, they also have a simple quality in their bones, and they will not be like city people. Spend money lavishly.They also need to use their wages to supplement their families, or save money to buy a car or something.

However, if Linley wanted to launch cosmetics, it would naturally be aimed at urban women, moreover women living in the upper middle class.Because his price will definitely not be low, and it is not something that the people at the bottom can afford.

Like Zhong Ling, Liu Yuxuan and Du Wen were also very curious about Lin Lei's sudden question. After asking them all the way, Lin Lei finally had to admit it.

However, he did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Sister Xuanxuan, Sister Wenwen, if I have a lotion that can make your skin more delicate and fair, and it can last for a long time, would you buy it?" ?”

Liu Yuxuan and Du Wen didn't even think about it, they both responded in unison: "Don't buy it!"

"Ah?" Linley froze for a moment.

Du Wen rolled her eyes at Lin Lei and said, "If you really have such a good thing, we must use it directly. You still want to take our money, so you don't want to mess around?"

"Yeah." Liu Yuxuan couldn't stop nodding, "That's what I mean too. Linley, you don't really have such a magical thing, do you?"

Du Wen thought about it, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "Lin Lei, it can't be your credit that Xiong Da's scar can be removed, right?"

"Actually..." Linley shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but I guess it has something to do with a lotion I just developed."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuxuan and Du Wen immediately leaned forward.If it wasn't for the seats blocking the way, they probably would have jumped in front of Linley.Both of them had bright eyes, looking extremely excited and excited.Their purpose was the same, which was to force Linley to take out the lotion.

Linley had no choice but to lie again, saying that the little lotion he had finally prepared had been used up.And he can't guarantee that the lotion can become a skin care product, and he said that he will share it after configuring some experiments.

After getting his assurance, the two beauties calmed down.

When Linley returned home, he was taking a bath while thinking about how to turn the lake water into skin care products and promote it.Before promoting, there is one more important thing to do.That is to make sure that the lake water really has the effect of skin care and has no side effects.

After all, girls' skin is much more delicate and sensitive than men's skin, and they cannot stand stimulation.Examples of disfigurement caused by improper use of cosmetics have appeared in the news.Therefore, it must be sure that there is nothing wrong with it before it can be promoted.

As for this question, after much deliberation, Lin Lei still felt that Xiong Da should be the starting point...
