Chapter 1286 Liangliang: Handsome Boy, Beautiful Girl
Ye Cheng was shocked by how high the status of women in China is now, especially now, seeing so many women on the street, so confident and composed.
Ye Cheng sighed, "We're still the traditional men who work outside the home and the women who stay at home. I thought you'd be in charge!"
Ye Qiang smiled and said, "Between Xiaoyu and me, we are husband and wife at home, Xiaoyu has her career outside, and I have mine! Of course, we are not completely in contact. If I come across a good project, I will invest! But if I don't think it's promising, even if Xiaoyu discusses it with me, I won't invest! We keep our public and private lives separate!"
Ye Sheng also had some clansmen left behind, chatting with these clansmen who had returned from abroad.
After several days of work, they finally sent these people away, while those who were interested stayed to continue their investigation.
That evening, Ye Qiang told Tang Xiaoyu about Ye Cheng's idea to introduce pearl oysters and the homeowner's desire to introduce electric vehicles.
Tang Xiaoyu blinked. "I need to ask Meilan and the technicians about pearl oyster culture. After all, pearl farming is all about the local environment and the specific organisms it produces. Pearls farmed here grow into South Sea pearls. Even pearls of the same variety might not be of the same quality as South Sea pearls if they are farmed elsewhere!"
"Just like the pearls we cultivate in the saline-alkali land of the west, although they are only one-year-old pearls, their effects and quality are completely different from the pearls cultivated locally. They are like two different things!"
Ye Qiang nodded, "Of course! What about the electric scooter?"
Tang Xiaoyu replied, "At this stage, we only accept exports, not exports of production lines! After all, our technology is currently leading, and we need to achieve an absolute leading position. We will only consider this issue after our technology is mature enough!"
Ye Qiang smiled and said, "That's what I told him too. He knows it'll be difficult, and he'll probably talk to you about imports! Business is business, don't break your principles just because of me!"
Tang Xiaoyu smiled, "Although it's all business, he is still my uncle! If it's within reasonable limits, I will still offer my help!"
Ye Qiang reminded her, "Although it's within your authority, you should still tell Meilan! Because these things are affecting your relationship with Meilan!"
“Of course!” Liu Meilan replied. “Now that we live on the island, communication between Meilan and me is much smoother! If anything comes up, I can just stroll home after dinner and tell her!”
Tang Xiaoyu visited Liu Meilan's home and brought up the topic of pearl oyster farming. "Meilan, what do you think?"
Liu Meilan thought for a moment, "Their area is indeed suitable for pearl farming, but I'm not sure what effect the pearls will have there! How about we export some pearl oyster seedlings to them to try?"
Tang Xiaoyu nodded, "Okay! Anyway, our pearls are of very high quality and highly competitive, so we're not afraid of external competition! Besides, with the continuous promotion of our Seven White Pearl series through advertising and its efficacy claims, sales are soaring!"
"We launched a sub-brand called Liangliang Skincare, targeting the mid-range market. It's an affordable, bagged product that ordinary people can buy! Because it contains less pearl, the effects aren't as obvious, but it's still much better than ordinary skincare products! With advertising promotion, sales are booming! It's been very successful across all channels!"
Liu Meilan asked, "What about our children's cream? We want to make a safe, skin-care-moisturizing children's cream, as well as children's shampoo and body wash! It'll be more convenient to use for both washing hair and bathing!"
Tang Xiaoyu replied, "The finished product is ready and we're testing it! I can confirm that all the ingredients are safe; I've even used it on my own child!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "I also brought a few bottles from my place. I used them on my child, and they worked very well!"
Tang Xiaoyu suggested, "Actually, this 'Liangliang' brand can be further divided into 'Liangliang'! 'Handsome Boy' and 'Beautiful Girl'! Boys and girls in puberty are in the stage of physical development, and their bodies secrete too much oil, so refreshing and clean facial cleansers, shampoos, and shower gels that are specially developed and promoted for them would surely be very attractive to them!"
At this point, Zhang Xiufang had a say. She pulled Xu Chongyang, who was playing badminton, over and said, "Come here, let your Aunt Meilan and Aunt Xiaoyu take a look at these pimples on his face and the little bumps on his back! Every morning when I see him squeezing pimples in the mirror, I want to slap him on the head! I tell him not to squeeze them, or they'll leave acne scars! This brat even said, 'Then why not just use a whitening cream to remove blemishes after the pimples stop?'"
Liu Meilan looked at Xu Chongyang carefully, stood up, and gestured to show her height.
She discovered that Xu Chongyang had already grown 5 centimeters taller than her. "I feel like I haven't seen him for just a few days, how come Chongyang has grown so tall! Oh dear, he's got pimples on his face!"
Xu Chongyang felt a little embarrassed under everyone's gaze, but he had become very cheerful and outgoing. "Aunt Meilan, Aunt Xiaoyu, I'm not a child anymore, I'm a teenager! I don't know what happened, but I've gotten pimples on my face these past few days! My classmates have them too!"
Zhang Xiufang laughed and said, "The diet is too good now. We're in the developmental stage, so we tend to produce oil, which might clog our pores and cause pimples!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "That makes sense! Okay, I understand. I'll have someone do market research and then develop skincare products for teenagers!"
Xu Chongyang was overjoyed to hear this. "Auntie, you must hurry! I don't want to have these bumps on my face either. They hurt and itch. I can't help but pick at them in the morning, and sometimes I even pick them when I'm thinking!"
"Actually, the pimples on my face and those of my classmates are relatively small, and there aren't many of them. Last time I went to participate in a competition, I met a lot of students from other schools! One of them had pimples on his face that were the size of grains of rice, and there were also pustules, it was really scary!"
"It's this serious, skincare products probably won't be enough, you need to go to the hospital!" Liu Meilan replied. "But ordinary toiletries should be fine!"
Tang Xiaoyu was quite excited, "Teenagers, there are so many of them, it's a huge market! As long as the product is good, and we find a well-known teenage celebrity to endorse it, we can open up the market!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "I'll call the research institute right now!"
Seeing Liu Meilan and Tang Xiaoyu chatting so enthusiastically, Wang Miaoxiang, who had met Professor Xie before, said, "Meilan, we have a product here that combines Chinese and Western medicine, which can be used externally to reduce inflammation and swelling. Are you interested?"
Liu Meilan was slightly taken aback. "You guys even research skin problems?"
Professor Xie replied, "This is a research project of one of my students. Your second sister-in-law is now my graduate student, researching Chinese and Western medicine. They've had quite a few insightful discussions!"
