Wang Yi elaborated,
"For example, the same type of toner and lotion, based on moisturizing effect from weakest to strongest, is divided into refreshing, balancing, and hydrating types, corresponding to oily skin users, normal skin users, and dry skin users, respectively."
"Then, according to user age, we launch product lines with different efficacies.
For example, for girls in their 20s, who are youthful and radiant, the basic Qingyan series is sufficient.
Girls in their 30s need anti-aging, so we launch the more effective Runyan series, which uses more ingredients and is more expensive.
For those over 40, a more potent effect is needed, so we launch the strongest Huayan series, which uses the most ingredients and is the most expensive!"
Ke Miaolan instantly understood Wang Yi's words:
"Boss, with this segmentation, our products instantly become very professional! Compared to before, when different users used the same toner and lotion, this is far more professional! It makes users trust us more! I'll arrange it right away!"
Wang Yi nodded:
"Adjust as soon as possible, then start production. As for funds, I'll have finance approve 500,000 for you first!"
"Okay, Boss."
After finishing this matter, Wang Yi and Song Sining drove back to Meiyou.
On the way, Wang Yi suddenly remembered:
"Sining, look again later to see if there are any suitable shoe factories. Our physical stores will be opening next month, so we need to acquire a shoe factory. And a luggage factory, acquire one too."
"Okay, Boss, our flagship store is very large; if we only have clothing and cosmetics, it won't be filled!"
Song Sining said with a smile.
"Yes, we need to add more and gradually enrich all related product lines. We should try to maximize the value of our flagship stores and specialty stores!"
Back at the company, Wang Yi opened his laptop and continued working on the framework for Meiyou 4.0.
It wasn't until six o'clock that he closed his laptop.
Everyone else had left work; only Song Sining remained.
"Not off work yet?"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
Song Sining smiled sweetly:
"Waiting for you. You're not going back to the county town today, are you?"
"No, I'm not going back. School is starting soon, and there's a lot to do."
Wang Yi had to work hard these next few days.
He had to handle everything properly in the few days before school started.
"Okay, let's go home."
Song Sining closed her laptop and walked over.
"Home? Where's my suite?"
Wang Yi was a bit surprised.
"Your suite is still there, but all your things have been moved to my place. Come back with me!"
"Okay."
Wang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
That's right, Song Sining had a new 150-square-meter apartment, so naturally there was no need to stay in the company suite anymore.
Five minutes later, the two arrived at Yayuan Residential Area.
The house was still the bridal home that old man had renovated for his daughter.
Song Sining had redecorated it, making it even cozier:
"Four bedrooms, two facing the sun. One for you, one for me. Of the other two, one is a gym with yoga mats and a spin bike. The other is a study with a large desk where we can work, do overtime, and read together!"
As Song Sining spoke, she extended her hand:
"From now on, we'll be desk-mates. Let's reintroduce ourselves. Hello, Classmate Wang!"
"Hello, Classmate Song."
Wang Yi smiled and held Song Sining's hand.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous.
Wang Yi calmly looked at her, and Song Sining also stared openly at him.
But as she continued to look, Song Sining's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but lower her head.
Wang Yi chuckled:
"Classmate Song, you've done a great job with the house. I'll reward you with a hug!"
With that, Wang Yi pulled with his hand, directly pulling Song Sining towards him and into his embrace.
Song Sining was startled, then smiled slightly and hugged Wang Yi back, but in her heart, she mumbled:
"This rascal, he finally made a move!"
Before, she was always the one to initiate hugs!
"But if this continues, won't I be inviting a wolf into my house?"
Song Sining's delicate brows furrowed slightly; she had a premonition.
Sure enough, as Wang Yi held her, his hand began to move downwards and very naturally rested on her bottom.
"You..."
Song Sining's cheeks became even redder, and she quickly let go:
"It's getting late, time to eat. I... I... I'll cook for you!"
With that, Song Sining fled in a panic and ran straight to the kitchen.
She wanted Wang Yi to be a bit more proactive, but she didn't expect him to just go for it!
"Still a naive young lady!"
Wang Yi smiled and opened his room.
Song Sining had already tidied everything for him; bed sheets and duvet covers were all there, all newly bought, even bath towels were provided.
Wang Yi opened the wardrobe, and it was full of his clothes.
All the items from his suite, Song Sining had packed and brought over for him.
Even the clothes he had changed out of and hadn't had time to wash, she had washed for him.
There were also several new outfits, all newly bought for him by Song Sining!
What a virtuous girl.
Song Sining cooked a few home-style dishes and took out some iced beer.
The two ate, drank, and chatted.
They talked about work, daily life, and interesting stories from their childhoods.
What Song Sining didn't know was that Wang Yi had already heard all her stories once before, but he didn't mind hearing them again.
This feeling of meeting again across two lifetimes could only be described as profound and wonderful.
"Oh, right, on the 29th, a second-tier artist from Sister Hua's side will be coming, and needs the services of our Meiyou Celebrity Business Department. She needs to attend a red carpet event on the 30th."
Song Sining suddenly remembered this:
"She needs a pure-desire style dress, one that hasn't been launched yet."
"Okay, which celebrity? I'll choose one for her."
It was almost September, so logically, new summer dresses shouldn't be promoted anymore; after all, competitors were already launching their autumn collections.
But celebrity-endorsed items were different.
Those four words "celebrity-endorsed item," even if there was only a one-month sales period, could be equivalent to an entire summer's sales.
Moreover, he had promised Xu Cui before, so this celebrity service had to be seen through to the end.
Wang Yi made up his mind that in the future, he would not widely promote pure-desire style summer dresses, but he could promote celebrity-endorsed ones.
When a celebrity came forward and wore a particular style, he would immediately arrange for the factory to mass-produce it, then launch it as a celebrity-endorsed item, and it would sell out.
Styles not worn by celebrities would be kept and launched next summer.
Alternatively, in October or November, they could develop international markets and launch them in the Southern Hemisphere.
The autumn and winter in the Northern Hemisphere are the spring and summer in the Southern Hemisphere, which is precisely the market where pure-desire style dresses would sell well!
Pure-desire style dresses would sell in the Northern Hemisphere from May to October, and in the Southern Hemisphere from October to April of the following year!
They could be sold all year round!
However, how to open up the international market still needed careful planning.
"It's Zhou Dongdong, the one who starred in 'Under the Hawthorn Tree'!"
"It's her!"
Wang Yi smiled, another Best Actress winner!
It was last year's "Under the Hawthorn Tree" that made Zhou Dongdong famous; she won the Best Newcomer Award and became the new Mou Girl.
Currently, Zhou Dongdong was still a new actress, B-list.
In another two years, Zhou Dongdong would rapidly advance, winning numerous Best Actress awards, and would be considered a standout among the 'post-90s generation' actresses.
However, Wang Yi had no plans to sign her, as Meiyou and Zhenyou already had enough spokespersons, and there was no need to waste more resources.
As for opening up international markets, that would require international spokespersons, and Zhou Dongdong wouldn't be enough.
After dinner, Wang Yi selected a new pure-desire style dress and sent it to Song Sining:
"Arrange for the factory to produce it; this one suits her! As for makeup, the pure-desire style will do."
"It's really beautiful, and indeed very suitable for her figure and temperament."
Song Sining's beautiful eyes shone:
"She's coming on the 29th and attending the red carpet event on the evening of the 30th. There will definitely be trending topics arranged that night, and this Meiyou pure-desire style dress will also become very popular. We'll immediately launch it on the Meiyou Mall as 'Zhou Dongdong's Style'!"
"Yes, that's how we'll do it! Even if we launch new products in September, the sales of this particular item will explode!"
Song Sining nodded:
"Then how much stock do we need to prepare in advance?"
Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"We have all the fabrics. Tomorrow, have Qiuyun Garment Factory make a sample, then start production. Let's produce twenty thousand pieces first! That should be enough to sell, after all, the celebrity-endorsed item will sell for 999!"
If it sold for 399, Wang Yi would dare to stock 50,000 celebrity-endorsed items.
But at 999, it's already considered high-end, so it would be good if 20,000 pieces could sell out.
Wang Yi remembered that the single dress style with the highest sales should be "Gentle Blade" from the JK community, selling 360,000 pieces!
Unbelievable!
That community is truly formidable!
San Keng girls, their spending power is off the charts!
So much so that Wang Yi even planned to launch JK uniforms next year,
As for this year, it's still pure-desire style + Mamianqun!
There's still a long way to go; can't shoot all the bullets at once!
"Okay, I'll inform the factory right away. For 20,000 pieces, opening a few production lines and producing four thousand a day will be enough, and won't delay the production of other products."
Song Sining changed the subject:
"Should we also arrange a celebrity-endorsed item for the new lipstick shades and promote them together?"
Wang Yi shook his head:
"Not for now. We just launched five new shades a while ago, and they're still selling well. The remaining five new shades will be launched later. Control the pace."
During this period, the R&D staff at Xinya Lipstick Factory had also finalized all five remaining new shades, and all had passed approval, ready for mass production at any time.
The new production lines were also debugged and ready, and the lipstick factory's daily capacity reached 100,000 units per day.
The five shades currently on the market were launched for sale once every two days, with 200,000 units snapped up each time.
Sales were still very good, and they could continue to sell well for a while longer.
After some time, when sales of these five new shades began to decline, they would have to launch the remaining five new shades.
Wang Yi had clearly arranged everything for continuous hot sales and continuous harvesting!
"Alright, enough about that, let's drink!"
"Yes, let's drink!"
The two drank their wine, just like they did in their previous life.
What hadn't changed was that Song Sining's alcohol tolerance was still very poor.
On other occasions, Song Sining wouldn't touch a drop of alcohol.
Only when she was with Wang Yi would she drink a little.
Wang Yi subtly encouraged her, and Song Sining drank too much again!
She swayed as she looked at Wang Yi:
"Little brother... you're so handsome!"
Wang Yi: "..."
What kind of bold words are those?
"You're just not honest, sitting there, swaying back and forth!"
Song Sining said, swaying.
Wang Yi was utterly speechless: "..."
"Are you sure it's not you swaying back and forth?"
"No! It's not!"
Song Sining continued to sway:
"It's you swaying back and forth! And this room is swaying too! You're all drunk! Hahahaha, everyone's drunk!"
"Pfft, hahahaha!"
Wang Yi was completely amused.
This girl, when she drinks too much, is still so amusing, so cute.
Completely different from her usual aloof CEO persona, she was actually a bit silly.
"No, I need to use the restroom!"
Song Sining stood up, and after just two steps, she almost fell.
Wang Yi was quick-eyed and quick-handed and quickly helped her steady herself, but unexpectedly, his hand didn't land in the right spot.
Song Sining looked down, half-drunk, half-sober:
"Pervert, you big pervert!"
Wang Yi: "..."
"Why are you shaking my chest?"
Wang Yi: "Are you sure it's not you swaying?"
"I didn't, I'm not!"
Song Sining retorted firmly.
Every drunk person is incredibly stubborn!
"Stop shaking my chest, I need to go to the restroom!"
Wang Yi: "..."
Having no choice, Wang Yi could only support Song Sining, fearing she might lose her balance and fall.
A face more stunning than a celebrity's; it would be a real pity if she bruised it.
Wang Yi escorted Song Sining to the bathroom.
Song Sining walked in, holding onto the wall, and only then did Wang Yi turn to leave and close the door.
Soon after, the sound of handwashing was heard.
Song Sining opened the door and came out:
"Drink, let's keep drinking!"
"Drink your head off, you're already like this!"
Wang Yi was speechless.
He helped Song Sining back to the room and put her on the bed:
"Sleep now, it's night."
Song Sining looked at the light:
"It's not night, look, it's still bright out."
Click!
Wang Yi turned off the light, the room darkened:
"It's dark, time to sleep."
"Oh, dark, sleep. Good night, little brother!"
With that, Song Sining turned over and started to sleep.
Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, cleaned up the pots and dishes, and then washed up and went to bed.
But not long after, he heard the sound of someone going to the restroom again.
"Looks like Sining really drank too much, Hahahaha."
Wang Yi chuckled to himself and continued to sleep.
Suddenly, the door opened, a figure walked in and went straight to his bed.
Then lay down beside him.
Wang Yi: "..."
When people drink too much, do they all go into the wrong room?
Song Sining turned over, hugged Wang Yi, and continued to sleep.
Wang Yi was utterly speechless: "..."
"Is this how you test your boss?"
"This is too much!"
That night, Song Sining slept soundly, but Wang Yi was miserable...
It wasn't until the next day, when the sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, illuminating the room, that Song Sining slowly woke up.
She then discovered that she was hugging Wang Yi, with her legs draped over him.
Her dress had also slipped halfway down...
"I... I..."
Song Sining panicked:
"How did I end up in your room?"
Wang Yi opened his eyes, with dark circles under them:
"You have the nerve to ask? You drank too much and ran into my room, and wouldn't let go of me!"
Song Sining blushed:
"Ah, how could this be?"
Wang Yi sighed:
"Sure enough, you have ulterior motives towards me. I need to protect myself."
Song Sining was utterly speechless: "..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I just drank too much; it doesn't count!"
Song Sining released Wang Yi, slowly got up, her face flushed bright red.
Unexpectedly, she was pulled back by Wang Yi:
"You've slept enough, have you? I'm still exhausted, let's sleep a bit more."
"This... okay then."
Song Sining closed her eyes and smiled sweetly.
This moment of tenderness was also beautiful.
The two hugged and slept for another hour, and by the time they woke up, it was already 8:30.
After a quick wash-up, they rushed to the company in a hurry.
However, that day, Song Sining spent the entire day in embarrassment.
Especially when she thought about what happened last night, the more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt.
Fortunately, Wang Yi went on a business trip again in the afternoon, traveling to Jiangcheng to inspect the Shen family's OEM factory.
Going with him was Shen Qiuyun!
"Boss Wang, you're finally free! If we don't go to Jiangcheng soon, I'll have started school already!"
Shen Qiuyun had a wronged expression; they had agreed to go to Jiangcheng together on the 17th.
But on the 17th, when Shen Qiuyun came to Meiyou Building to find Wang Yi, the tickets were already booked, but she learned that Wang Yi had gone to Panda Province!
She had been stood up!
Then she waited for a whole week, and it wasn't until the 24th that it was finally arranged.
Wang Yi gave an awkward laugh:
"Ahem, ahem, I had some things to attend to, which caused the delay."
"Things to attend to? What kind of things? Don't tell me you took some girl to see pandas, did you?"
Shen Qiuyun said, smiling brightly.
This girl, she's quite good at guessing!
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"Don't talk nonsense, nothing of the sort happened. I went to Panda Province to discuss a collaboration and bought a film and television copyright."
"Boss Wang is going to be a director and shoot a TV series?"
Shen Qiuyun became interested.
"No, I just thought the script was good. I'll invest, and let someone else direct it. I don't have time to be a director myself."
"That's true. Then can I have a cameo role?"
"You..."
Wang Yi scrutinized Shen Qiuyun:
"With your figure, what kind of role do you want to play?"
"A wicked female villain!"
Wang Yi: "..."
"Why not play a good guy?"
"How miserable are the good guys? They get tormented every day; even dogs wouldn't play them. Villains are better: lawless and reckless, trampling the female lead underfoot, tormenting her in all sorts of ways..."
"And then they don't last three episodes and get their 'lunchbox'?"
Wang Yi said with a laugh.
Shen Qiuyun: "..."
"Then I'm not playing, it's boring."
Shen Qiuyun pouted, a little displeased.
What she liked was the kind of villain who could freely seek revenge, an invincible female villain with no opponents.
"Qiuyun, has anyone ever told you that you're like a primary school student?"
Wang Yi teased.
Shen Qiuyun, with her baby face and big..., really looked like a cute loli.
"You're the primary school student! I'm not small!"
Shen Qiuyun puffed out her chest and said proudly.
Wang Yi looked:
"Hmm, indeed not small, really not small."
Shen Qiuyun: "???"
"!!!"
"Pervert!"
"Sure enough, all men are the same."
Wang Yi: "..."
"But you're still considered good."
Wang Yi: "Thank you very much then."
"Hahahaha."
Shen Qiuyun laughed, her body shaking like a flower branch swaying in the wind, then took out her phone and sent Wang Yi a photo.
Wang Yi opened his phone, his expression instantly became interesting, and he casually tapped 'save'.
It was a private selfie of Shen Qiuyun wearing Meiyou's pure-desire style lingerie; it was uncommonly alluring!
"Qiuyun, is this how you test a big client?"
Shen Qiuyun sighed:
"Always single, such a good figure and no one to see it. It's such a waste, you're lucky."
Wang Yi: "..."
"Thank you very much! Thank your whole family!"
"You're right to thank them. If it weren't for my parents' good genes, I wouldn't have this good figure either."
Shen Qiuyun said earnestly.
Wang Yi was speechless: "..."
This girl is such a contradictory girl.
Her name suggests national beauty and heavenly fragrance, dignified and virtuous.
She appears pure, but is actually fiery.
What is this?
Pure-desire style?
"You certainly fit our product style."
"Pure-desire style?"
Shen Qiuyun's beautiful eyes sparkled:
"Then does Boss Wang like it?"
"Heh, woman."
Wang Yi patted Shen Qiuyun's head, then started reading a novel.
Shen Qiuyun: "!!!"
"You ignore me and read a novel!"
"Fine, Wang Yi, this isn't over. You've completely aroused my desire to conquer!"
Wang Yi rolled his eyes:
"Heh."
Shen Qiuyun: "..."
Arriving at Jiangcheng High-Speed Rail Station, the Shen family was already waiting at the exit.
"Dad!"
Shen Qiuyun's face lit up with joy:
"You came to pick me up!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Wannian didn't even look at her, but directly extended his hand and strode towards Wang Yi:
"Boss Wang, I've heard much about you, and today I finally meet you. Truly a genius!"
Shen Qiuyun: "..."
"Dad, was I given away as a phone top-up bonus?"
