Kong Yuzhen was very smart and brought Tao Guanghui and Kong Luoyu this time, although the excuse was that he was afraid that Li Shuyu would be bored alone. In fact, I felt that with Tao Guanghui around, Li Wenjun would have some scruples when rejecting them.
Li Wenjun is so smart, how could he not see this?
I just see through it without saying anything.
Kong Luoyu and Li Shuyu hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were muttering together without knowing what to say.
Then Kong Yuzhen took advantage of the situation and asked someone to take them to a nearby cafe to eat ice cream.
Li Wenjun said calmly: "If Mr. Kong has anything to say, just say it."
Kong Yuzhen said: "We don't want to sell the cosmetics brands in our hands now. We just want to ask Director Li to help us think of ways to see if we can revitalize them."
Li Wenjun lowered his eyes.
Mr. Kong also said: "Oh, it was us who made a mistake last time and failed Director Li. I'm so sorry, we know we were wrong. But these cosmetics in our hands are all old brands that are nearly a hundred years old. Just throw them away like this." It’s really a pity, and the cream and moisturizer they make are really good.”
Tao Guanghui also said: "Actually, whether to sell or not has little impact on the Kong family. But there are only a few old domestic brands left. I really don't want to give up."
Kong Yuzhen said: "Actually, our family has a lot of affection for these cosmetics brands. They were brought as dowries from my grandmother's family. So the old man is not willing to stop even if he loses money. I asked Director Li to help me find a way."
Oh, by the way, this is what asking for help should look like.
This is the attitude of wanting to cooperate well.
If you are honest with me, I will not hide it.
Li Wenjun then said: "Actually, I also intend to support domestic brands, but this time, are you willing to listen to what I say?"
Mr. Kong said: "Of course."
Li Wenjun said: "I need to hold a certain share of your cosmetics so that everyone is safe."
Kong Yuzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, as long as it doesn't exceed 20%."
Li Wenjun: "Then let's give it 15%. I think if it can't be sold domestically, it can be sold abroad. But the state of your existing products is definitely unsaleable. You need to develop eye shadows and foundations suitable for Africans. Things like sunscreen, mascara, etc. Enrich product categories. Now our sales channels in Africa are quite smooth. I can say this, if you can make a good product, I can help you sell it."
Kong Yuzhen and Mr. Kong exchanged looks.
It's useless to question. Li Wenjun has always been like this. He won't let you get what you want quickly. He always has to pay a little effort and price.
Kong Yuzhen said: "Let's try our best."
Li Wenjun said: "Buy some of the best-selling products from well-known foreign brands and come back to study them. Ask higher-level makeup artists and young women who often wear makeup what are the advantages of these products. For example, popular colors and the fit of foundation. degree, waterproof and sweat-proof performance. You have to be prepared to invest a development fee. If you don’t want to let go of your children, you can’t catch the wolf. If you want to open up new markets, you must be willing to spend money to pave the way.”
Kong Yuzhen listened to what he said in a serious manner, and didn't seem to be consuming them, so he asked: "You don't want the traditional moisturizer?"
Li Wenjun shook his head: "No. We can't throw away the tradition. We need to improve the quality. If we can't make it high-priced and full-featured, then we should strive to maximize a single function and stick to the principle of being cheap and easy to use."
Kong Yuzhen said: "This investment is not small, but we always feel that we can't see the end."
Li Wenjun said: "It will be a little more difficult in the past few years. You have to position the market of moisturizer in rural areas and small cities. Don't go to big cities to compete with international brands for business. You can't take it, and you can afford it in big cities." There are not many people importing cosmetics. You can target the middle and low-end consumers who make up the majority of the population."
Kong Yuzhen murmured: "Yes, 80% of our country is still farmers and workers."
Li Wenjun paused, smiled again, and said, "Believe it or not, domestic products will make a comeback one day. You just need to make money in a low-key manner and wait patiently."
Mr. Kong hesitated for a moment and took out several sets of cosmetics: "This is the moisturizer and facial cleanser we produce. I know that with Director Li's financial resources, your wife must use international first-line brand products. So don't dislike it, take it back." Use it as hand cream or give us some advice."
Li Wenjun accepted it generously: "The old man is interested. Then I will thank the old man for her."
Tao Guanghui pursed her lips and smiled: "The old man doesn't know. Although their wife is a great beauty, she is very low-key and simple. She will definitely like our moisturizer."
Mr. Kong nodded: "That's good, that's good."

Li Wenjun and the others returned to "Wenjun New City" and distributed the small gifts they had brought.
Tao Guangming asked quietly: "How did Diandian do in the exam?"
Li Wenjun smiled and said nothing.
Tao Guangming pointed at Li Wenjun: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are acting like this, do you mean to say that she did not do well in the exam and there is no hope? Did you have a premeditated plan?"
Li Wenjun looked at him sideways: "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Tao Guangming pursed his lips and said, "The approval document for undergraduate studies at Wenjun University has been received. Enrollment will begin next semester."
Li Wenjun laughed and patted Tao Guangming on the shoulder: "Oh, this is great."
Tao Guangming was so stunned by him that he frowned and said, "Be gentle! Are you stimulated by something? I have upgraded so many times and I have never seen you so happy."
Li Wenjun smiled: "This time is different."
Tao Guangming looked at him sideways: "Yes, yes. It's different, because you think that after the university upgrade is successful, you can trap Li Shuyu here. I tell you, you should let go of the child when he grows up. You can't do anything. Don't do that dirty thing of secretly hiding your admission notice."
Li Wenjun rolled his eyes: "Crazy."

Dong Qingjun and others have recently made do with lead-acid batteries to optimize the braking, electrical, control and other systems of electric vehicles, and have also installed ammeters, voltmeters and electricity meters on the trams.
Of course, it is still modified based on the original second-hand oil truck.
The latest nickel-metal hydride battery pack developed by the battery factory.
Zhang Xiaohua patted Dong Qingjun on the chest and said that this battery pack is guaranteed to run for 200 kilometers without any problem.
Dong Qingjun and others happily replaced the nickel-metal hydride battery pack on their "new" electric vehicle.
They tried it several times in their area and thought it was OK.
I originally wanted to try it out on the road, but after thinking about it, there were many people on the road, and this car was still in the trial stage, so it was not safe. It was better to go to the special test track of the car factory.
There are curves, straight roads, uphill slopes, downhill slopes, sand, mud, grass, gravel, asphalt roads, concrete roads, and various road conditions.
I tried it there and it was fine, then I ran on the road again.
