Chapter 14: Make a face mask

Face masks have been around for a long time.

If you travel back to the Hollywood actress in the fifties and sixties and walk into the beauty salon with your girlfriends, the beautician will bring you a box of eggs when you wash your hair, so that you can pick out your favorite.

While you're washing your hair, the beautician will open the eggs, mix the egg mixture with honey and milk, and put it on your face as you gaze at it (sometimes with some cucumber or ice).

The beautiful Hepburn also endorsed a mask made of nylon and cotton, which can be used as a shower cap and handbag in addition to sticking to the face.

Later, although technology continued to develop, face masks were still a very small category of skin care products, and only women who really had money and leisure went to beauty salons to try this kind of high-end product that wrapped their faces like bank robbers.

Although Wu Xuejun and Zhang Juemin both knew about the existence of the mask, they had not thought about it before.

Jia Xingying said, they immediately felt that it was very possible.

In this era, communication was extremely poor, and Wu Xuejun had been busy making local products before, and they hadn't paid much attention to Dongfang Li's own beauty trends.

With Jia Xingying's reminder, Wu Xuejun hurriedly used his connections to ask a few friends who had recently been to Liben.

The hard work paid off, Sui Wenjie, the owner of the pharmacy who had helped Wu Xuejun sell whitening essence and begged for replenishment, made a fortune, and took his wife and children to Liben to play around.

On the shelves there, he happened to see a legendary whitening mask.

Although Sui Wenjie didn't know anything about skin care, the main focus of this thing was "whitening", which still made Sui Wenjie very interested, and immediately bought it for his wife to try.

Wu Xuejun was overjoyed, and hurriedly drove his Tianjin Dafa, which did not sound except for the horn, and rushed to Sui Wenjie's house with Jia Xingying and Zhang Juemin, and snatched the box of masks without saying a word.

"Teacher Zhang, take a look, can this thing be made?"

Zhang Juemin has personally operated countless formula tests, and none of them are as exciting as this one.

He tore open the mask and applied a sheet to his wrinkled face, as shown in the picture.

Jia Xingying couldn't help laughing when he saw that the old man had pasted a white flower cloth, and then took a closer look, and said in surprise:

"It's really a non-woven fabric. The little devil's non-woven fabric was originally bought from our country? ”

"Of course, the little devil imports our raw materials, goes back to process them a little, and sells them so expensive as soon as he gets his hands.

This one...... Damn, a piece costs more than 50 yuan, can you rejuvenate after this sticker? ”

“50?” Jia Xingying couldn't help but be speechless, "Oh my God, I thought you were selling, uh, the whitening essence we sold was outrageous enough, but that one was fine for half a month."

This one is more than 50, and the cost of such a small piece of non-woven fabric plus cutting can't cost 2 yuan. ”

Zhang Juemin smiled, took out another one and tore it open and asked Jia Xingying to paste it, Jia Xingying trembled and slowly pasted this piece of non-woven fabric that she had played with for many years on her face, and the slightly cool feeling made her tremble.

Wu Xuejun nervously asked:

"Mr. Jia, how do you feel?"

"Uh...... It felt like a towel. ”

Wu Xuejun: ......

Zhang Juemin laughed, gently pulled off the mask on his face, nodded and said:

"Mr. Jia is right, the principle of this thing should be similar to a hot towel.

It's simple, but you can see what I'm thinking.

It's a really good idea, and with their brand premium, it's no wonder they can sell at this price. ”

Sui Wenjie also secretly observed on the side, saw that everyone had mixed reviews, and also talked about what he heard when he was traveling in Liben.

It turns out that the company that made this mask was acquired by a European and American company a long time ago, and it just made this product at the end of 93.

It is said that the yeast ingredient extracted from a certain koji by their factory was used, and others could not imitate it, so although it was not cheap, it caused a sensation when it was released.

"This must be it! Mr. Xiao Jiang said that what he plays is the elite, and if he wants to play, he will play the advantage of big brands! Wu Xuejun said excitedly, "Teacher Zhang, can this be done?" ”

Zhang Juemin looked at the formula table behind the box, observed it intently for a moment, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"This yeast ferment of theirs is indeed their unique recipe, although it is certainly not as amazing as they blow, but we will not be able to make it for a while.

But I observed that the principle of this thing is very simple, this is a piece of non-woven fabric filled with some essence, and the essence is hung on the membrane cloth with a thickener. ”

He shook the mask casually and muttered:

"I was also thinking about how to quickly launch advanced products against foreign countries, and it seems that Mr. Xiao Jiang has studied the process of this mask before.

Knowing that even if we don't have supporting automated production technology, we can transform our filling machine and aseptic workshop to produce it as soon as possible. ”

Wu Xuejun also said excitedly:

"Yes, yes, the role of this thing should be to provide moisture to the skin like a hot towel, which is exactly the opposite of our previous brand positioning of oil control, and also meets the requirements of Mr. Xiaojiang."

"Also, Xiao Jiang always asks for a minimalist formula, which should remind us that we should not be entangled in the yeast fermentation developed by foreign brands, and return to the role of the mask itself, this idea can be described as high-level and very creative."

"The structure of the mask is a monolithic package, and the ingredients can indeed be simple, as long as it is sealed well, it can minimize preservatives.

Mr. Jiang had already taken all the links into account before, and even specially invited Mr. Jia to support us.

Mr. Jia is a big expert in non-woven fabrics! ”

"Well, no, I'm not an expert.

I'm a worker in a non-woven factory, don't say that. ”

Jia Xingying didn't expect that what he said casually would really have a miraculous effect.

Seeing Wu Xuejun and Zhang Juemin, Jia Xingying's old face turned red, and he couldn't help but push his glasses.

Am I really a genius?

"Ahem, I'm not a connoisseur of non-woven fabrics, but I should still have a say in how to cut this thing to make people feel comfortable.

As for procurement and aseptic production, our factory has it before, can we do some with them...... Cooperate? ”

"Great! We can discuss with Mr. Jia and their original unit, and borrow their aseptic workshop for us to OEM, just so as not to delay our essence production line. Wu Xuejun's face was full of red light, but there was a trace of shame in his heart.

I actually questioned Mr. Jiang's judgment and employment before!

Outsiders looked at our factory at that time, just like I looked at Mr. Jia, full of prejudice.

Only Xiao Jiang can always see the connotation of our factory and Mr. Jia's ability at a glance, which is the ability to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern...... Is this what a college student is?

No, how can a college student do that?

Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wen once bragged that they had a gift from heaven before, is it true?

"Xiao Jiang is really amazing!"

Sui Wenjie, who was watching the whole process, never understood what was going on.

But he cried with joy when he saw Wu Xuejun and Zhang Juemin as if they had been empowered, and applauded again and again.

"Lao Wu, if you make a good product this time, you must think about the old brother first.

I don't want an entrance fee, I will put it in the most conspicuous place for you to sell!

We're really relatives, my grandmother's cousin is surnamed Wu, if it doesn't work, I'll ask my grandma to drag a dream or something for you? ”

"No, it's not necessary." Wu Xuejun smiled bitterly, and couldn't help complaining, "Mr. Xiao Jiang is really true, obviously he has already acquired and invested, why do you have to hide it, let us solve the mystery every time." ”

Zhang Juemin smiled and patted Wu Xuejun's shoulder gently.

"Xuejun, do you know why Mr. Xiao Jiang didn't expand the scale first, but set up a set of the company's leadership team on the basis of your factory.

Could it be that there is money to burn, deliberately redundant personnel? ”

Wu Xuejun bowed his head in shame, he really thought that Jiang Nian had money to burn, so he had to make a team that looked regular like other big enterprises, completely ignoring the reality of the situation.

Zhang Juemin said with a smile:

"Five years ago, those foreigners drove me away, and I used to say a concept called entrepreneurial team, which translates to entrepreneurial team."

"If an entrepreneurial team wants to become bigger, it must first make sure that everyone has outstanding talents, and can take charge of themselves and resolutely obey one voice, so that they can concentrate all their energy and limited resources to become stronger and bigger at the beginning.

With your current ability and vision, do you think you are suitable to be a member of Mr. Jiang's entrepreneurial team? ”

Wu Xuejun was like a man on his back, and he was covered in cold sweat.

He is in his forties this year, and although he has been in the sea for many years, his vision is still greatly limited by the old concept.

At first, he only thought that he had nothing to do when he sold out his shares and went home, so it was better to follow the rich people first and earn more dividends.

But now think about it......

"Yes." Wu Xuejun's eyes burst into tears, "Mr. Xiao Jiang didn't even change the name 'Xuejun Daily Chemical Factory'...... She wants to let me be alone, starting from the factory, and paving the way for the future daily chemical empire.

And I'm ...... And I'm ...... I didn't believe Mr. Jiang's judgment and decision-making before! ”

"That's right." Zhang Juemin said gently, "Xiao Jiang has not given up on any of us, this is the person who does great things!" ”

Jia Xingying looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Is Nian Nian so scheming?

Not really, right? She must have forgotten to change her name because she was lazy, right?

Small Theatre Hours:

Jiang Nian: Don't underestimate the important role of preservatives in daily chemical products, in addition to masks, ampoules and other packaging, most of the preservatives of products can play a role in the soul. Even in face masks, polyols are often used to suppress microorganisms.

If a cream or something like that advertises no preservatives, you should be careful and beware of bacteria jumping on your face.
