These cosmetics were extremely rare at the time, and only a handful of people could use them.
The price of a complete set of cosmetics is more than 400 yuan, which is simply unaffordable for ordinary people whose monthly salary is less than 30 yuan.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan has a wealth of knowledge about his past lives.
He explained very patiently: "You need to squeeze a little of this stuff on your hands first, then rub it into foam and apply it on your face, then massage it for a while and then wash it off.
That thing seems to be called shrinkage lotion, which is used to tighten the skin and make the skin more elastic. As for the eye shadows, mascara, etc., they are all used to apply on the eyes and eyeliner.
These things are all used by you women anyway, and the market for these things will become bigger and bigger in the future. I guess you women have to put on some foundation every time you pee, so we can also create our own cosmetics!"
In Qin Mengying's view, Lin Chuan's words were making fun of their women's love for beauty.
But how did she know that decades later, almost all of these things would be carried by women.
It has become a habit to wipe it off several times every time I go to the bathroom.
It's just that today's women only use lipstick, lipstick, and cheek powder when it comes to cosmetics.
They cannot accept these cosmetics that are so delicate that they are as fine as women's pores.
Even Qin Mengying went beyond her traditional bottom line.
It's still a bit uncomfortable to use it at first, but makeup is a natural skill for women, and you can master it after a few times.
Originally, Qin Mengying's cheeks were beautiful and tight with melon seeds. After being decorated with cosmetics, she became extremely beautiful.
There is even a demon in the beauty, and a charm in the demon.
Qin Mengying herself said shyly: "Oh no, this painting looks like a fairy!"
Before she could wipe it off, Lin Chuan picked her up by the waist and laughed softly: "The more demonic you are, the more I like it. The children are probably asleep, and our beautiful moments will begin now."
As the saying goes, a break is better than a wedding, so the bedroom is bound to be quiet.
The next morning, Lin Chuan came to the company and immediately held a regular company meeting.
Let’s listen to everyone’s work reports first.
The first is Zhao Nianshun.
"Mr. Lin, the first five apartment buildings are ready for occupancy, and the factory extension, including the conference center, medical center, and employee entertainment center, are ready for use.
The extension of the factory area has now reached 20,000 square meters, and the headquarters building will be topped out in ten days, and the decoration will be completed and delivered for use in one month.
And your three-story villa is ready for move-in, but the surrounding environment, including parks, swimming pools, etc., are still under construction and will take about a month to be delivered, while other projects are also proceeding in an orderly manner!"
Followed by Song Qinglin.
"Mr. Lin, the machinery factory continues to develop new products. Harrick will report to you separately. He came back from the imperial capital and stayed in the R&D center all day.
If we are not studying paving machines, we are studying computers and forging machines. We have now manufactured 20 sets of textile machines, and there are also companies that are scheduled to purchase textile machines.
It’s just that you are on a business trip, so you can’t decide whether to sell it or not, and the smelter is always smelting and forging the metal we need!”
Qin Mengying followed up and said: "Mr. Lin, speaking of the smelter, we have never conducted any sales transactions since we took it over.
With so many people eating every day and waiting to get paid, should we consider selling some products appropriately?"
Lin Chuan naturally had his own considerations in mind.
He said slowly: "My idea is to build the smelting plant into a factory specializing in the production of high-quality metals. If it is opened to the outside world now, it will only sell ordinary metals.
Under the pressure of orders, it will be very difficult to change the production pattern in the future, including for machinery factories. The current production pattern can no longer meet the needs of the market.
The production methods will soon be changed, so these two factories will continue to do this first, and the expenses will also go to the head office first!"
Qin Mengying did not continue to speak.
She knew that Lin Chuan must have something in mind.
Machinery factories and smelting plants spend tens of thousands of dollars every day, which can amount to hundreds of thousands a month.
Regardless of whether the business becomes bigger or bigger, the assets also increase.
But this asset is not capital. Now the entire Mengying company, including all its factories, consumes at least hundreds of thousands of dollars every day.
Just the purchase of ore for the smelting plant requires millions every month.
The more you earn, the more you spend.
At this time, Tao Ying followed up and reported: "Mr. Lin, the Second Textile Factory is now producing 24 hours a day, and every product is strictly in accordance with the quality standards you gave.
Within two months, we can have all our products pass the quality inspector’s assessment and be exported!”
Lin Chuan smiled slightly and said: "We can't just focus on exports. We must also export to domestic sales. First, we should enrich our own market demand for goods.
I went to the Imperial Capital this time and was deeply impressed. People there have begun to focus on imported goods. People save money just to be able to buy something they like.
However, the things we produce ourselves are actually relatively simple and scarce. We cannot give this huge market and purchasing power to those foreigners in vain!"
Tao Ying quickly understood what Lin Chuan said.
She smiled confidently: "If we give birth to our own people, we will do better!"
Lin Chuan would never doubt Tao Ying's confidence and guarantee.
He then looked at Yu Meiling again.
From the meeting until now, Yu Meiling seems to be absent-minded.
From time to time, he burst into giggles.
Lin Chuan thought she had a boyfriend, so he immediately asked: "Manager Yu, please report your sales department data to me!"
But Yu Meiling didn't hear what Lin Chuan said at all, she was still wandering there.
Lin Chuan knocked on the table helplessly, and Yu Meiling looked at Lin Chuan as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"Ah, what? What do you want?"
Lin Chuan frowned impatiently and said coldly: "I want the data of your sales department. We are in a meeting now. What are you thinking about?"
Yu Meiling saw that Lin Chuan's face was particularly ugly, so she hurriedly went to get the notes.
However, she just remembered that she hadn't compiled any data at all and had been busy filming commercials these days.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I'm a little busy these days. I haven't sorted out the sales department's data, but the sales funds are all sent directly to Director Qin. I'll sort it out when I get back later!"
What he said made Lin Chuan even more angry.
"What are you busy with? You can't even do your job well. What are you busy with? Can you not use your working time to do your own activities? Please sort out the data and give it to me before you get off work tonight!"
