"Director Du, please give me a list of debtors later. I'll take a look at it first."
Factory Director Du was a little touched. It is so difficult to pay accounts now. When they first met, they were so concerned about it. It would not be easy just to say it.
Thinking of this, Factory Manager Du smiled and said: "Mr. Tie, thank you first, I will have them deliver it in a moment."
Uncle Meng glanced at Tie Jun and said: "Now it's all triangular debts, white slips, and complicated relationships. Dajun, don't be too embarrassed."
Tie Jun knew that Uncle Meng was leaving a way out for him, so he felt grateful and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm not that ignorant."
"Lao Du, Mr. Tie is very interested in your new products. Could you please arrange for someone to take him to visit your factory?"
"What other arrangements are there? I will personally accompany Mr. Tie to visit, and I will go now!"
Upon hearing that Tie Jun was interested in Dabao, Director Du immediately became energetic and stood up.
The three of them went out. Director Du didn't know Tie Jun's details and thought he was an expert in daily chemical products. He specially called an engineer named Dong Xiaowan to explain.
Due to family constraints, Tie Jun has never used cosmetics since he was a child. His childhood memories only include cream, clam oil, and the colorful colors of tin boxes.
At that time, only Daya and Erya could apply incense. Mom would put a few taps on their foreheads, noses, chins, and faces, and the two sisters would rub it together again, and the whole room would be filled with fragrance.
The first time Tie Jun put something on his face was when he was in high school. Chu Yao gave him the Gong Lantern brand almond honey in a 100ml glass bottle, exuding a light almond smell.
Tie Jun especially likes the bitter taste. Until now, Tie Jun still applies this almond honey on his face. It costs 1.5 yuan, which is super cheap.
It can be said that Tie Jun is very unfamiliar with cosmetics. What is not unfamiliar is that Tie Jun has seen many cases of old cosmetics being acquired by Japanese soldiers in his previous life.
After being reborn this time, Tie Jun is determined to do everything well. As long as he can do his best, he can protect one person and not make the Japanese too proud.
Tie Jun has a good foundation and likes to learn knowledge, so the conversation with Dong Xiaowan, who is about the same age, is quite interesting.
He walked directly into the raw material workshop without a hat, white coat, shoe cover, or mask. Tie Jun frowned at first.
Fortunately, the workers I saw all wore white coats and white hats, and the working environment was clean and tidy.
Although it is not a dust-free suit, and I am not wearing a mask or gloves, it is not bad to be able to do this in the factory at this time.
Dabao has many types of products with different raw materials. Dong Xiaowan explained them professionally, and some even asked Tie Jun to apply it on the back of his hand to experience.
Continuing on, the Sanlu Factory gave Tiejun the impression that the equipment was backward, the assembly line relied on many people, and there were not many disabled people.
When he entered the packaging workshop, Tie Jun's eyes widened instantly. He realized that there were all disabled people here. There were five or six hundred people who were blind, deaf-mute, and disabled.
The square tables were piled with packaging boxes and products. The disabled people in front of them were all concentrating on their work, and no one was talking to each other.
Tie Jun observed carefully and found that the hands of many disabled people were covered with calluses, which shocked Tie Jun.
You must know that this is just a packaging workshop. If you can wear calluses on your hands, how many boxes must be packed?
Tie Jun asked Dong Xiaowan in a low voice: "You said that filling workers have the highest salary and can earn more than 300 a month. What about them?"
Dong Xiaowan looked back at Director Du and saw Director Du and Uncle Meng talking, and then whispered: "It ranges from 60 to 120."
Tie Jun nodded and didn't want to read any more. He turned back to Director Du and said, "Director Du, let's go back!"
Factory Director Du said: "Okay, I will take you to see Chief Engineer Wu, Xiaowan, go and do your work!"
Dong Xiaowan shook hands with Tie Jun and Uncle Meng, turned around and walked back. Factory Director Du led the two of them out of the packaging workshop.
After walking for a while, we arrived in front of a small laboratory. Director Du said: "Lao Wu has food and accommodation here. It's a bit chaotic. Don't talk about chaos. He doesn't like to hear it!"
Tie Jun nodded, and Uncle Meng smiled and said: "Dajun, when you see Lao Wu, you will know that all the people doing research are crazy, haha!"
Director Du tapped Uncle Meng with his hand and raised his hand to press the doorbell. After a long time, someone opened the door. When he saw it was Director Du, he stepped aside with a smile.
"Lao Wu, look who's coming?"
There are bottles and cans everywhere in the laboratory, and a man and two women are sitting in front of the operating table.
Hearing Director Du's words, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and with his hair parted raised his head and looked over.
"Lao Meng? You old fox, you didn't come here until now, you were afraid that my honey would fall into your hands!"
"Bullshit, what am I afraid of? If I can't sell it, I'll just return it to you."
Uncle Meng walked over, shook hands with Lao Wu, then turned around and introduced Tie Jun, who smiled and extended his hand.
"Then you guys chat, I have a client coming over later!"
Director Du looked at his watch and said to Tie Jun and the others. They nodded, and Director Du turned around and left.
Lao Wu took Tie Jun and the others into the back room. Only then did Tie Jun realize what chaos was. It was even more exaggerated than Liu Wenming's family, and there was no place to stay.
Lao Wu chuckled, pulled it east and west, and freed up two areas for people to sit on.
The three of them talked, and through the old factory director's words, Tie Jun learned more about Sanlu Factory.
The reason why it is called Sanlu Factory is because Lao Wu developed a series of cosmetics at his own expense in Shijiazhuang.
Acne lotion, skin whitening lotion, and limb hair removal lotion were put into production, so the famous brand product "Sanlu" was born. At the same time, the Shijiazhuang Sanlu Factory was established, with Lao Wu as the director.
In 1985, Lao Wu took a series of technologies and was transferred to the Beijing Municipal Civil Affairs Industry Corporation and served as the director of the Beijing Sanlu Factory.
Not long after Lao Wu arrived in Beijing, the Shijiazhuang Sanlu Factory sued the Beijing Sanlu Factory for infringement of the Sanlu trademark it used.
In anger, Lao Wu re-registered a new trademark, and Dabao was born.
"Mr. Wu, you have developed more than 20 patented products over the years, why don't you do it yourself?"
Tie Jun was puzzled as to why Lao Wu was willing to make wedding clothes for others.
Lao Wu smiled and said: "I study things and people, but I don't understand them.
My wish is to create a brand-name product that is truly suitable for our Chinese skin to combat the invasion of foreign brands.
Today, our national brand is in crisis.
In 1981, a Shiseido product entered China.
In 1985, Johnson & Johnson of the United States entered China.
Last year, Olay, Unilever, and Avon entered China.
Avon even established a joint venture with Guangzhou Cosmetics Factory to establish Guangzhou Avon Company.
According to this trend, within five years, our own cosmetics will be besieged on all sides."
Tie Jun nodded. Lao Wu's worries were by no means unfounded. Soon, major international brands such as Estee Lauder, Maybelline, and L'Oreal will come in.
