238: Shockingly high product profits
There are more than 30 beauticians in this beauty salon.
As a group that uses cosmetics all year round, except for a few particularly young ones, everyone's faces will have a few minor issues to varying degrees.
Hoang Dang Minh Thu looked at the time; it was about an hour before customers usually arrived.
"Chun Cao, come with me."
Nguyen Xuan Cao knew that Hoang Dang Minh Thu was going to the laboratory to get more products.
She was asked to come along because she was a trustworthy insider.
As the beautician supervisor parachuted in from Hanoi, she managed 10 beauticians.
"Chun Cao, go to the warehouse and get 10 bottles of glycerin for the laboratory."
"Okay, Sister Mingshu."
Nguyen Xuan Cao turned and walked towards the warehouse.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Hoang Dang Minh Thu jogged to the laboratory.
Li Qinghe was in the laboratory, capping three large barrels of beauty cream; many sealed small bottles were already packaged on the experimental table.
These were for cosmetic testing.
Hoang Dang Minh Thu had said that with Vu Linh Huong's background, the test reports from the relevant departments would be issued as quickly as possible.
If sent for testing today, these beauty creams would receive official approval tomorrow, becoming regular products that could be used in beauty salons.
It just goes to show that no matter where, power is a good thing.
Hoang Dang Minh Thu jogged into the laboratory and first planted several firm kisses on Li Qinghe's face.
Then, with a joyful tone, she told Li Qinghe, "Brother Qinghe, the whitening and spot-removing product works very well."
"The other two products also won't be bad."
Li Qinghe gently capped a test sample bottle.
He had divided them into nine test bottles, three of each kind, which was a sufficient quantity for institutional testing.
Li Qinghe was not worried about this beauty cream being deciphered.
Because the formula, when extracted, specifically stated that it was a causality formula and could only be prepared by Li Qinghe's hands.
In this situation, even if someone completely replicated Li Qinghe's operations, the final product would not possess the magical effects.
As for testing, all added ingredients could be detected, but absolutely no strange substances could be found.
Even if the products were stolen, it would be impossible to reverse-engineer similar products.
Therefore, there was no need to apply for patents; it was naturally anti-theft, and when needed, Li Qinghe would just prepare a batch.
Making highly effective beauty products from large quantities of food-grade materials was like applying a cup of milk tea to one's face.
The raw material cost was not high; pearl powder was already the most expensive raw material.
And for Hoang Dang Minh Thu, she procured all the raw materials, so she was very clear about the costs.
Although she didn't attend university, the Wu Family's training for her was comprehensive.
So, after roughly calculating the prices of mainstream beauty packages on the market and combining that with the product's excellent efficacy, setting a price double that of mainstream packages was easy.
The profits here were astonishing; it's often said that the easiest money to earn in the world is from women and children, and this statement is absolutely true.
From raw materials to finished products, Li Qinghe spent less than an hour in total, and the prepared products could be used 50,000 times.
This kind of immediate effect, at a basic single-use cost of 50 million vietnamese dong, or about 13,500 dragon country currency.
The material cost was at most 50 million vietnamese dong, but it could generate 2.5 trillion vietnamese dong in revenue, which is also 675 million dragon country currency.
Excluding basic labor costs, the profits were terrifyingly high, like picking up money in sacks.
With the support of these three powerful beauty products, Vu Linh Huong's high-end beauty salon would find it much easier to establish its reputation and expand its business in Saigon.
"Brother Qinghe, I want to give these three products catchy names."
While Nguyen Xuan Cao hadn't arrived yet, Hoang Dang Minh Thu hung on Li Qinghe's neck and whispered to him.
"Seeing you say that, you must have some ideas already."
"I want to name the firming and anti-aging product 'red vitality,' the whitening and spot-removing product 'snow white,' and the stress-relieving product 'harmonious nature.'"
Hoang Dang Minh Thu's eyes were full of life; she discovered once again that even without relying on Vu Linh Huong, this man in front of her was extraordinary.
If Nguyen Xuan Cao wasn't bringing things over soon, Hoang Dang Minh Thu would have had the impulse to lean out the window and look at the scenery.
Sure enough, not long after, the sound of the password lock being pressed came through.
Hoang Dang Minh Thu quickly moved away and walked to the experimental table, organizing the samples to be sent to the relevant departments for testing.
"Sister Mingshu, Mr. Li, here are 10 bottles of glycerin, and I also took the liberty of getting 10 bottles of sea mud and 10 bottles of volcanic mud."
Nguyen Xuan Cao pushed in a small cart.
"Chun Cao, you're amazing! You thought ahead of me."
Hoang Dang Minh Thu praised Nguyen Xuan Cao's actions without reservation.
She then turned to discuss with Li Qinghe.
"Brother Qinghe, please prepare some more snow white; red vitality will be added to the volcanic mud, and harmonious nature will be added to the sea mud."
"Chun Cao, please help open all these sea mud and volcanic mud containers."
At this moment, Hoang Dang Minh Thu did not ask Nguyen Xuan Cao to leave but instead had her help.
This inclusive attitude made Nguyen Xuan Cao happily agree.
So, the three of them busily opened all the glycerin, sea mud, and volcanic mud in the laboratory, dripping different products into each.
The statement that the beauty cream could be integrated into any product was not an exaggeration.
Li Qinghe simply dripped one drop of the product onto the glycerin, sea mud, and volcanic mud respectively.
The beauty cream automatically began to integrate into these materials.
Except for the glycerin still turning into a white jade color, the gray-green sea mud turned into a crystal-clear green, looking naturally fresh.
And the black volcanic mud became a somewhat translucent dark red, which instead added a touch of mystery.
"Chun Cao, you come with me to distribute the products to everyone. Brother Qinghe, are you coming out?"
Hoang Dang Minh Thu put all the color-changed products back onto the small cart, along with the bottles of materials to be sent for testing.
"Let's go out together; A Xiang will be here soon too."
"Brother Qinghe, what would happen if we used the product's original liquid?"
Looking at these few crystal-clear test samples, Hoang Dang Minh Thu couldn't help but ask.
"That effect would drive you crazy, because it works incredibly fast."
Li Qinghe smiled as he placed a bottle of sea mud onto the cart.
Nguyen Xuan Cao pushed the cart ahead, with Hoang Dang Minh Thu and Li Qinghe walking behind.
When the tall and handsome Li Qinghe appeared before the beauticians, these women collectively let out a "Wow."
Looking at this large group of young and beautiful beauticians, Li Qinghe felt as if he had arrived in a land of women.
Their gazes lingered on Nguyen Xuan Cao for a moment, then quickly shifted to Hoang Dang Minh Thu.
"Everyone, please meet Mr. Li. From now on, when he comes to the beauty salon, he can move freely anywhere except in rooms with clients."
Seeing Hoang Dang Minh Thu introduce Li Qinghe in a very formal tone, the beauticians also became serious; they realized that Li Qinghe's status might be even higher than Hoang Dang Minh Thu's.
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
All the beauticians stood up and bowed slightly to Li Qinghe.
