Chapter 66: The idea of the lotion
Jiang Nian set the market retail price of the lotion at 199 yuan this time.
According to the one-to-seven calculation of the cost and selling price of general cosmetics, their expenditure on raw materials, labor, water, electricity, and consumables is about 28 yuan per bottle.
But the specific reality is that because Jiang Nian's products are not advertised and the outer packaging is as streamlined as possible, the gross profit margin is very high, and the funds for the allocation of raw materials for Zhang Juemin and others are also very sufficient.
This made Zhang Juemin's temporary R&D department fall into the trouble of not being able to spend the money.
A bottle of lotion, or a lotion without any strange ingredients, how can you make up such an expensive cost when you deduct the advertisement?
"This time we used glycerin instead of the big brand mineral oil, well, glycerol polyether can be used as a surfactant, although it is a little more expensive, but the effect is still very good.
It's just that there is still a relatively small research literature on glycerol polyether, and I am worried that there will be a risk of seborrheic dermatitis."
Guo Haiping took advantage of the rest time to rub the laboratory again, he skillfully stirred a pot of creams that had been emulsified, and said indifferently:
"What are you worried about? The principle of seborrheic dermatitis is that Sala sylvestris likes oil and multiplies in large quantities, and glycerol polyether is not soluble in oil, and it is not oil itself, so safety can be guaranteed.
If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate to use this ingredient."
"And based on my previous research experience, using high-purity glycerin may cause blackness, so I recommend slightly lowering the purity of glycerol to less than 95% to reduce this possibility."
Guo Haiping, who entered the state of research, didn't recognize his six relatives, and it was difficult to listen to Zhang Juemin when he chatted, but Zhang Juemin was also used to it, so he just smiled slightly:
"Okay, just follow your idea, use glycerol polyether, but to be on the safe side, how about adding about 1 percent?"
"One percent is a lot, it's enough." Guo Haiping said, seeing Bu Shenglian looking at him timidly on the side, he frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Bu Shenglian carefully raised the small book in her hand:
"How does glycerin penetrate the epidermis? Our cow tears are macromolecules, why is it ......?"
"Glycerin is not an oil, it's called glycerol, why can't he penetrate the skin with a tri-carbon alcohol?
Although it cannot enter the skin in large quantities, it can already achieve the effect of catching water on its own, and it should be noted that moisturizing and hydrating are two completely different steps.
The hyaluronic acid we produce is the best moisturizer, and the main role of glycerin is hydration, and the effect of their combination is far more than one plus one, you understand?"
Bu Shenglian shook her head, but still patiently wrote down the above things in her notebook.
Although Zhang Juemin has a hot temper in the R&D department, he is generally angry with himself and rarely gives them the content of the super-outline to these apprentices whose academic qualifications are far from enough.
However, Guo Haiping is extremely selfless after entering the state of research and development, unless you can convince him in professional content, he is not even willing to answer all your questions.
However, his knowledge and skills are really very impressive, after Xu Zhilei and the others left, Zhang Juemin's newly recruited apprentices, together with Bu Shenglian and others in the workshop, learned a lot from him.
After a while, Guo Haiping finally came back to his senses, he looked at everyone in surprise, knowing that his stinky temper just now had been committed again, and he hurriedly apologized:
"I'm sorry, I was obsessed with research just now, isn't it too ugly to speak?"
Zhang Juemin shook his head and said:
"You kid, that is, everyone looks at the old man's face, otherwise I would have beaten you a long time ago!"
Bu Shenglian sneered:
"It's not for Mr. Zhang's face, it's for the sake of Mr. Jiang's face!
Now the task is very heavy, and we are not unreasonable people, how can we be angry with Brother Guo for this little thing."
Guo Haiping's old face turned red, and he smiled bitterly:
"Don't laugh at me, I'll invite everyone to dinner at noon - isn't it sincere to eat in the cafeteria, or go out to eat!"
"Forget it! What's better around than our canteen?
ใ
"That's it, don't talk about the surroundings, which restaurant in Pengcheng is better than our canteen!"
"Just eat the cafeteria, just eat the cafeteria!"
Guo Haiping looked at the noisy crowd, smiled and slowly shook his head.
This company ......
That's nice.
Even these bottles and cans seem to be cuter than usual.
ยท
Gaosheng Medical Garment Factory has changed its name to Hirna-Gaosheng Daily Chemical Company.
Now they are intensively developing facial masks, striving to knock down Jiang Nian's products in an instant in the subsequent market competition.
Many dealers heard that Gao Sheng and Sheerna Group jointly produced facial masks, and they hurriedly came to order, and Gao Sheng's deposit was soft in the past few days, of course, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
Besides, the production process of the mask is really as smooth as imagined, and this kind of thing that can be done by any small rural factory in the future is completely difficult to have a professional aseptic workshop and a high rise of non-woven fabrics for many years.
Xu Zhilei and the others were really very experienced, and they quickly concocted the essence according to Gao Sheng's requirements, and now it is time to go on the market.
Hum.
As early as the early days of cooperation, Gao Sheng looked down on Jiang Nian.
He controlled the cost even lower this time, the actual cost of a mask was less than 9 cents, plus the follow-up publicity, a mask can be at the same level of three yuan as Yangfan Daily Chemical.
At the same price, on the one hand, it is the brand endorsement of the Sylna Group, and on the other hand, it is just a small factory that has just been established for less than a year, and I believe that consumers will make the right judgment.
"Very well done, my friend, you are a genius." Cornell is also full of praise for Gaosheng's mask production line.
This new product, which has just been developed by the Orientals for a short time, does not have the atmosphere of aristocracy, but it is indeed a good stepping stone, which is enough to achieve better popularity for the Sylna company through FMCG.
He patted Gao Sheng's shoulder, making Gao Sheng feel a little lighter.
"As long as Mr. Cornell is satisfied!" He smiled all over his face.
Cornell looked at the busy workers in the workshop and said in high spirits:
"By the way, my friend, as far as I know, the wages in our factories are too low.
Most people don't even have a salary of 200 francs, and for God's sake, shouldn't you raise their salary?"
Gao Sheng smiled and said:
"You can't say that, it's so hard to find a job right now, and it's great that I can offer them a high-paying job.
You only need to pay a few people relatively high wages, and the others will work overtime, so most of the money is saved."
Cornell nodded:
"Well, you're an expert at this, you know better.
However, it seems that Wu Hai is not very optimistic about our face masks, what is going on?"
"Uh......" Gao Sheng was speechless for a while, he didn't know exactly what kind of friendship Cornell and Wu Hai had, and he didn't dare to say bad things about Wu Hai casually, so he could only smile and say, "I will use practical actions to prove that Master Wu is wrong."
Saying goodbye to Cornell, Gao Sheng hurriedly walked to the R&D department and saw Xu Zhilei and others packing up their things and preparing to get off work.
His face suddenly darkened.
"What do you do?"
Xu Zhilei saw Gao Sheng, and quickly nodded and said hello:
"Boss, we've completed our mission for today, and we're ready to get off work."
"Done? It's only six o'clock, and you're done? Didn't you all go to work until 8 o'clock the other day?"
"Yes, we, our work efficiency is relatively high, we have done a lot of overtime a few days ago, and today the packaging material compatibility test is completed, and the task before the listing has been ......."
"Nonsense!" Gao Sheng said dissatisfiedly, "You also know that it is going to be listed soon? Now is a very serious time, you should consciously work overtime, how can you leave work so early?
It's not dark yet, what are you doing after work? You are me
The R&D personnel hired with high salaries, even you don't want to forge ahead, how can you create a good atmosphere of struggle and encourage the whole company to make progress together?"
"Think about it for me, are you worthy of your salary!
Is that all you can do? Why don't you communicate with the marketing department, go ahead, and see how the follow-up products should be developed and promoted.
From today until the product launches, I will not allow anyone in the company to slack off!
Let me find a similar problem, and think for yourself how you can convince the rest of the company!"
Gao Sheng slammed the door and left, leaving Xu Zhilei and the other three technicians who had just jumped from Yangfan Daily Chemical to look at each other.
The Changbai shift only goes up to five o'clock, and at this time, they are already watching TV in the canteen, talking and laughing, and then taking the shuttle bus back to the staff dormitory.
But now, they have completed their work, and they have to work overtime here.
"Brother Xu, I'll go buy something for everyone to eat."
"Don't go, the boss is angry, if he knows that you left as soon as he finishes speaking, he will definitely punish you heavily, and maybe he will fire you."
"So, what then? The brothers haven't eaten yet."
Xu Zhilei bit his lip in pain and sighed:
"Bear with me, I heard that skipping dinner is good for your health, our income is so high, we have to work hard."
A technician had a sour nose and sighed:
"How do I think it's better for Mr. Jiang to be there.
At least there, we don't have to work overtime all the time, we can go out for a walk with our families after work, and we can go to night school......
"After we resigned, the work card was no longer available, and now there is no dormitory, and the rent is more expensive than before......
"Shut up!" Xu Zhilei said in annoyance, "Our income has increased significantly! That's an extra 2,000 dollars! Isn't 2,000 dollars enough for you to spend?
When men are young, they always want to enjoy, don't they know how to make more money for their families? Whoever is complaining to me, just hurry up and get out of here, and see if Jiang Nian wants you to be done!"
Everyone was silent, and they could only helplessly return to the experimental equipment, staring at those bottles and cans in a daze.
This kind of life is not beautiful at all, these bottles and cans are so hateful!
