Chapter 153 The First Contract
Chen Yang sat to the side and nodded with certainty.
He didn't continue speaking.
If he continued, Chen Yang would expose his identity.
This was because after smelling and looking at this cosmetic, Chen Yang had immediately deduced that someone had evidently castrated the Holy Healing Ointment recipe and made it into the Palace Jade Skin Powder in front of him.
In reality, the Holy Healing Ointment was a very precious healing prescription. It could remove scars from the skin and treat injuries from swords and blades. Even scars that had been there for years could be removed.
The Holy Healing Ointment was a secret recipe from ancient imperial courts, known to very few people.
As the master of the Heavenly Physician Hall, Chen Yang naturally knew about it.
Now, Su Ya was sitting beside him. If Chen Yang could know the origin of this cosmetic just by smelling and looking at it, he would surely be exposed by Su Ya.
It seemed that the product Su Ya was investigating was indeed very reliable!
The other party was very clever. After removing some of the medicinal ingredients from the Holy Healing Ointment, they made it into a cosmetic like the Palace Jade Skin Powder.
Not only could it whiten and nourish the skin, but more importantly, it could truly remove acne and blemishes from the face, making it an excellent medicinal product for keeping the face fair.
Choosing this product as the company's first flagship product was definitely not a problem.
Su Ya glanced at Chen Yang from the side, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She muttered, "Chen Yang, where did you see this report? I spent the entire day today investigating the history of the Palace Cosmetics Factory. I've flipped through all the documents and searched for a lot of information online. How come I haven't seen this report? Do you know their ancestors were chief imperial physicians who escaped from the palace?"
Chen Yang chuckled and said to Su Ya, "Perhaps this wasn't on the internet? You're not from Qingzhou City, so you wouldn't know. Liu Ran and I used to live in Qingzhou City, so we know a bit more."
"As for that report, I saw it a long time ago. It was in some low-brow literature, printed on newspapers with ink. It was like today's gossip magazines. These reports aren't to be taken seriously, but they can be used for reference."
Chen Yang chuckled and brushed the matter aside.
Liu Ran, however, didn't care about these details. She immediately said, "Then let's go find this Wang Hongwei now and discuss the cooperation matters!"
Su Ya nodded with a smile and said, "Sure, I know you're in a hurry, so I specifically kept Wang Hongwei's phone number. We can directly invite him to dinner, and we can finalize this matter then."
Su Ya, Liu Ran, and Liu Xiaomei, the three women, were full of energy. Chen Yang sat to the side, watching this scene, and couldn't help but pat his forehead. It was already past six in the afternoon, and they were still thinking about signing a contract!
However, Chen Yang didn't stop them. He also hoped that Liu Ran could become more confident and successful as soon as possible. Otherwise, it was too tiring for him to hide by her side.
During dinner, Su Ya, Liu Xiaomei, and Liu Ran discussed the specific terms of the contract.
After drinking a cup of cola and finishing a box of fries at KFC, the three of them had finalized the general contract. Next, they would print it and put their company's official seal on it.
Then, Chen Yang drove them, the three women, straight to the Palace Cosmetics Factory.
The Palace Cosmetics Factory was located in the suburbs of Qingzhou City.
Originally, the Palace Cosmetics Factory was very large. The previous factory director had wanted to promote this product nationwide, so he had used all his savings to expand production at that time. Unfortunately, due to a sudden car accident and a disappointing son, his plans were all thwarted.
Now, most of the factory area of the Palace Cosmetics Factory had been sold, leaving only a small factory covering an area of more than ten mu.
And because it hadn't been updated for a long time, the factory still used rather primitive methods for producing cosmetics, with not many large machines.
The four of them entered the Palace Cosmetics Factory and soon met the current factory director, Wang Hongwei.
Wang Hongwei was around forty years old, with a beer belly and slightly lecherous eyes. His clothing was quite decent, but his gaze and complexion revealed a sense of decadence and numbness towards life.
At his age, he basically had no ambition left. His only pleasure in life was playing cards in the card room and teasing female subordinates.
Seeing Su Ya, Liu Ran, and the others, Wang Hongwei immediately stood up.
At his level, it was difficult to come into contact with such a beautiful and elegant woman as Su Ya.
After sitting down, Liu Ran got straight to the point. She smiled and introduced her company, Yangyangyang Brand Promotion Company, to Wang Hongwei.
Then Liu Ran said to Wang Hongwei, "Director Wang, we both know the current operating situation of your Palace Cosmetics Factory, so there's no need to talk much. The thing is, we are optimistic about your Palace Jade Skin Powder cosmetic. Therefore, we plan to redesign the packaging and promote this cosmetic to audiences nationwide through live streaming and other channels, while you will be responsible for production."
"Of course, you must ensure the quality of this cosmetic, and also ensure that this cosmetic is exclusively supplied to our company."
"However, we will also significantly yield profits to you for this cosmetic."
"We're not entirely sure about the cost, but we can guarantee a fifty-fifty split of the profits for both parties, and we promise that the monthly profit will be at least 100,000 yuan."
Wang Hongwei kept sizing up Liu Ran and Su Ya, still contemplating how to invite these two beautiful female bosses out for a drink and a chat. Even if nothing else could be done, it would add some excitement to his life.
But later, when he heard Liu Ran say that the monthly profit would be at least 100,000 yuan, Wang Hongwei's eyes widened!
He swallowed and looked at Liu Ran, saying, "Ms. Liu, did I hear that right? You mean I can get at least 50,000 yuan a month?"
"And that's pure profit, after deducting the cost of materials and the wages of my factory workers. Will I have 50,000 yuan in hand?"
Liu Ran smiled and nodded, "Of course. This is the minimum standard. If it doesn't reach this figure, our design and promotion company will make up the profit to you, Mr. Wang."
"Of course, if we reach or exceed this sales figure, our profit sharing will need to be adjusted further."
Wang Hongwei immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I agree. If I can get at least 50,000 yuan a month, I definitely agree."
Liu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected the first contract to be completed so smoothly. This Wang Hongwei seemed truly poor and desperate. 50,000 yuan a month had already made him extremely excited.
Soon, both parties signed the contract. Wang Hongwei kept smiling and thanked Liu Ran, even inviting Liu Ran, Chen Yang, and the others for a late-night snack.
Liu Ran and Su Ya declined.
Liu Ran stood up and said, "Mr. Wang, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation in the future. Time is pressing today, so I will go home immediately to redesign the brand and packaging to make our products look high-end."
"Tomorrow, I will hand over the new packaging to Mr. Wang. You can adjust the design and start production immediately. We will begin promotion on our end. In short, I believe our cooperation will be a win-win."
