Chen Guoping looked at Qin Yun and finally spoke: "Aren’t there some impoverished students at the school? If your company needs help, maybe they could do some part-time work."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun contemplated briefly and said, "Dean Chen, we don’t need many part-timers right now, and the positions are all filled."

Celestial Fortune’s expansion in Jinling is almost complete, unless we launch a new product, we definitely won’t need more people.

"That’s fine."

Chen Guoping smiled and said, "Just consider Jiangyuan University if there’s a need in the future, like for handing out flyers during an event at a clothing store."

As Celestial Fortune continues to grow, the part-time jobs they offer are quite well-paid. If possible, he certainly hopes students from Jiangyuan University could do these part-time jobs, creating more opportunities for the impoverished students.

Qin Yun thought for a moment and said, "The clothing store doesn’t need anyone for now, but our hot pot base factory needs people to hand out flyers. I’ll bring it up when I return."

At the Celestial Fortune Hot Pot Base Factory, Qin Yun didn’t set up the Wealth Gathering Array; instead, he let its development happen naturally.

The taste is quite good, and it has already gained some customers, capturing a small share of the market.

Of course, the market isn’t large, and many people still don’t know about Celestial Fortune Hot Pot Base. With better promotion, the profits would certainly be higher.

Many things rely on promotion to grow.

"Alright, Qin Yun." Listening to what Qin Yun said, Chen Guoping’s face lit up with joy, "I thank you on behalf of those impoverished students."

"It’s nothing." Qin Yun smiled and said, "By the way, Dean Chen, we at Celestial Fortune have established a research institute. If there’s a lack of research space at your school, you could use our institute."

Qin Yun mentioned the main purpose of his visit.

Celestial Fortune opened a research institute, but until now, no one has come by.

In fact, some people applied to enter the institute before, but Qin Yun didn’t agree because they weren’t up to the standard.

The institute mainly relies on luck to see if it can help talented people make further breakthroughs.

Only professionals can solve certain diseases; even if you put the answer in front of an amateur, they wouldn’t understand it.

Only for professionals will Qin Yun provide funding and equipment for their research, and even pay them salaries.

The institute must establish a threshold from the start; otherwise, many people would just be there to collect a salary.

However, Jiangyuan University’s research involves PhDs and other experts, professors, whose levels are definitely sufficient.

"Hmm."

After hearing what Qin Yun said, Chen Guoping pondered for a few seconds and said, "Qin Yun, I need to discuss this with others at the school, but right now we indeed have some projects that cannot commence for various reasons, and your offer should meet our needs."

"Then, thank you in advance, Dean Chen." Qin Yun said with a smile.

...

After a trip to the school, Qin Yun arranged to have dinner with Yu Leyao.

"Qin Yun, try the taste."

At their usual restaurant, Yu Leyao prepared several new dishes again. She loves exploring these things, and Qin Yun is her first tasting subject.

"Delicious." After tasting, Qin Yun praised.

Yu Leyao was already used to Qin Yun’s limited vocabulary.

While eating, she asked, "Qin Yun, I heard your institute is researching shampoo. How’s the research going?"

"Still in progress." Qin Yun smiled.

"Well, if something comes out of it, we should definitely promote it well." Yu Leyao said, "Now almost all shampoos in the domestic market are from foreign brands."

Shampoo is one of the most commonly used personal care products. In the country, there are over 2,000 shampoo companies, with thousands of brands.

However, both supermarkets and online platforms mainly sell foreign brand shampoos.

Leading global shampoo brands like Rejoice, Head & Shoulders, and Pantene are all under the United States’ Procter & Gamble.

This group once occupied nearly 60% of the Chinese shampoo market. What does that mean?

It means more than half of the people in the country have used their products! The market share is so large, it’s almost a monopoly.

In comparison, there isn’t a single strong domestic shampoo brand that can compete with them.

"No rush, let’s take it slow." Qin Yun said.

He was also considering how to let domestic products rise. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Like in the clothing industry, foreign brands hold a large market share. In the country, Anta can still reign, but abroad it ranks beyond fiftieth place.

In many other industries as well, domestic products are just mediocre.

Hua Country people, they want to be number one in everything; it’s ingrained in their bones.

Bzz...

While they were talking, Qin Yun’s phone suddenly rang.

He answered the call, and after a few seconds, Qin Yun’s face showed surprise.

"There’s a breakthrough?"

After a few words, he directly said, "Okay, I’ll be right there."

Hanging up the phone, Yu Leyao immediately asked with curiosity, "Qin Yun, what’s up?"

Qin Yun stood up, with a hint of a smile on his face, and said, "Leyao, it was a call from the institute—they’ve made a breakthrough in the shampoo research!"

"Have they figured it out?" Yu Leyao also showed a hint of joy on her face.

She knew that Qin Yun’s institute was researching hair loss solutions, and if they indeed succeeded, it would be a great thing.

"Let’s go and check it out."

Qin Yun was ready to head over to inspect the situation.

"I’m coming with you!" Yu Leyao followed behind him.

...

"President Qin, the substance I mentioned before has finally been extracted. Experiments show that it has a significant restorative effect on the function of matrix cells, and it also repairs hair follicles..." Li Kahe said excitedly, beginning to introduce his research.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun nodded and asked, "Is the safety assured?"

The first thing with these things is to ensure they are safe.

"Yes, it has been tested and poses no harm to the human body." Li Kahe said with excitement, "I’ve already blended some and used it myself."

Li Kahe showed off his rather sparse hair.

Qin Yun: "..."

He thought to himself that Li Kahe was definitely a fearless person to use it on himself right after developing it.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Yun said, "First, produce a batch and conduct safety performance tests. If everything meets the standards, start finding some volunteers and give it to them for free. Then record the data every day, noting any issues like scalp itchiness, hair loss, etc..."

A new shampoo, even if its safety is assured, can’t be immediately released or sold. Qin Yun intends not to let it circulate in the market just yet.

Before circulation, he wants a clear understanding of the specific effects of the shampoo, and only if they are good will he start selling it.
