"Thank you, Uncle," Ji Qinglan smiled slightly.
"No need to thank , we’re all family."
The four of them chatted on and off while Lu Xuan, being an outsider, kept quiet. But when costics were ntioned, Lu Xuan had so thoughts.
Currently, there are very few costics with traditional Chinese dicine formulas; most are a mix of chemicals and various extracts. Purely traditional Chinese dicine-based costics might not be non-existent, but at least Lu Xuan hadn’t seen any.
Yet there’s no shortage of traditional Chinese dicine-based costics. Lu Xuan wondered if they could use costics to promote traditional Chinese dicine?
As Ji Huan and the others discussed these matters, Lu Xuan kept contemplating this question and concluded it was entirely possible.
...
After dinner at the Ji Family’s house, Ji Qinglan drove Lu Xuan ho.
"Lu, we’re here."
As Ji Qinglan’s car stopped below the apartnt building, Lu Xuan, who had been thinking for a long ti in the passenger seat, finally spoke up: "Qing Lan, what is your costics company planning to focus on?"
"Whitening and anti-spot," Ji Qinglan replied.
"Why, Lu, are you interested in costics?"
Lu Xuan awkwardly smiled, "Not really."
"So, about the formula..."
"The formula we bought last ti doesn’t work; it has too many side effects. Not only does it have little effect on spots, but it also causes skin allergic reactions. Our employees tried it, and I tried it on my hands too—it caused rashes. The millions spent on that formula were wasted." Discussing the formula situation, Ji Qinglan was sowhat frustrated; spending millions without any result.
Thinking back, Ji Qinglan felt she had indeed been foolish, spending so much money on a formula she thought was a great deal, but it turns out the seller was the one making a profit.
What Ji Huan said wasn’t wrong at all. If it were that effective, wouldn’t it be better to collaborate using the formula or sell it to a big brand for tens or hundreds of millions?
Why just throw a few million to us?
"For whitening and anti-spot, actually, many traditional Chinese dicine formulas have these effects." Lu Xuan pondered and said.
Initially, Ji Qinglan was stunned; she didn’t understand why Lu Xuan suddenly discussed this with her. But the next mont, she realized and exclaid in surprise, "Lu, do you want to collaborate with ?"
"Sothing like that, but I’m afraid I can’t directly collaborate with you, Qing Lan."
"That’s okay."
Ji Qinglan also knew Lu Xuan’s special status, making it impossible for him to collaborate directly with her. Even without any position, granting share options wouldn’t be possible.
"The collaboration is simple. Lu, you provide the formula. If it’s about shares, they can be under Auntie’s na. If Auntie doesn’t participate in managent, I can offer more generous terms for the shares. Don’t worry; I’ll negotiate with my friend, and she will agree."
"Of course, it all depends on you having a whitening and anti-spot formula."
"I do have one."
Lu Xuan thought for a mont and said, "However, although the traditional Chinese dicine formula is effective, it does have a flaw—the sll of the dicine cannot be masked."
"The sll doesn’t matter; worst case, we use extracts," Ji Qinglan was unconcerned.
Lu Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, "Extracts probably won’t work. Traditional Chinese dicine is quite mysterious; its active ingredients can be analyzed, but even if their components are identical, the effects vary based on where they are derived. Take so Chinese dicines, for example.
Let give you an example: Suanzaoren. Raw, it treats excessive sleep, while processed, it treats insomnia. If you only use extracts, it’s difficult to achieve the intended effect."
Without extracts, the sll of traditional Chinese dicine certainly can’t be covered."
"If extracts can’t be used, it becos a bit troubleso,"
Ji Qinglan frowned. "What about adding other fragrances?"
Lu Xuan shook his head, "I recomnd not adding any, otherwise it might be challenging to achieve the desired effects, and it might even disrupt the original dicinal properties of the traditional Chinese dicine."
Ji Qinglan felt a bit troubled.
Having heard of the traditional Chinese dicine formula from Lu Xuan, she was full of hope, knowing that the strong sll of traditional Chinese dicine could be off-putting to most. However, now with advanced technology, the sll could be set aside, with extracts used or other ans to mask it.
But if neither of these two thods were viable, this traditional Chinese dicine formula might be hard to gain market acceptance.
Nonetheless, Ji Qinglan had no intention of giving up. Lu Xuan’s dical skills were beyond doubt; both elders in their family were saved by him. There’s no need to doubt his traditional Chinese dicine formula’s efficacy; she just wanted to clarify how effective it was.
"Lu, let’s not ntion the sll for now. What about the effect?"
Ji Qinglan asked, "If it can achieve excellent whitening and anti-spot results with no side effects, there’s still a market for it."
"The effect is certainly not bad, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought it up. I’m just worried the sll of traditional Chinese dicine will lead to low market acceptance."
Hearing this, Ji Qinglan had already made up her mind: "I plan to give it a try."
"Alright, I’ll send you the formula later."
"No rush."
Ji Qinglan thought for a while and said, "There’s no need to hurry with the formula. Even if you want to provide it, it should be after we sign the contract. However, I’ve thought of an even better approach—Auntie doesn’t have to be involved. You can directly apply for a patent for the traditional Chinese dicine formula, and we’ll pay you an exclusive patent fee. Although I might not be able to pay the patent fee in a lump sum, how about we offer a share?
For instance, if we earn 10 yuan per bottle, we’ll pay you 3 yuan as the patent fee."
