Everything was ready, and Celestial Fortune started operating.

After the first batch of small packets of Celestial Fortune Shampoo was made, some bottled versions were also produced.

There was only one type of bottle, a 500ml one, and as for the price, Qin Yun set it at 100 yuan, which is relatively high.

For comparison, a small 200ml bottle of Rejoice sells for 9.9 yuan, which is a significant difference.

However, the initial pricing sets the tone for future pricing, and Qin Yun can’t start too low and keep increasing it later.

This price is actually on the higher side in the shampoo market.

After the first batch was produced, Celestial Fortune announced the news on their official website.

"Celestial Fortune Shampoo is now available! Search on Taobao and JD to purchase. It has excellent results for treating hair loss and promotes hair growth..."

This announcement immediately surprised many people.

"Celestial Fortune opened a medical research institute before, why are they selling shampoo now?"

"I don’t know. Can this shampoo really treat hair loss? Is it for real? I’ve been losing hair for years; I’ve tried many shampoos with no effect."

"I’m just looking to change my shampoo; I’ll buy a bottle to see how it works."

"Wow, I searched it, and the 500ml Celestial Fortune Shampoo costs 100 yuan."

"That’s too expensive."

"I support it! As Qin Yun’s girlfriend and the lady boss of Celestial Fortune, I must buy a few bottles."

"Get lost, I’m Qin Yun’s girlfriend."

...

Some conversations just change tone over time.

But this message from Celestial Fortune clearly surprised many people. Some fans bought it, but most did not.

When buying things, people usually consider their needs. For clothes, people don’t mind having more. Some even wear a different outfit every day.

So people might buy a lot of clothes.

But with something like shampoo, one bottle can last several weeks. Who would stockpile it at home for no reason?

Of course, after people finish using their current shampoo, they might consider trying Celestial Fortune Shampoo.

Additionally, the price of Celestial Fortune Shampoo also influences purchasing decisions; the price is indeed a bit high.

This makes the initial promotion work for Celestial Fortune Shampoo slightly challenging.

It had only been a day since the shampoo started selling, and then Celestial Fortune’s medical research institute finally got its second official member.

Zhou Qiang, male, thirty-five years old, had once founded a toothpaste brand, but due to poor management, it didn’t sell, leading to the factory’s bankruptcy and closure.

However, Zhou Qiang never stopped researching toothpaste. He wanted to develop a professional whitening and tartar-removing toothpaste.

"Group Leader Zhou, this will be your lab from now on. You can contact the research institute directly if you need anything," Qin Yun said with a smile, looking at the man with gold-rimmed glasses in front of him.

Toothpaste, similar to shampoo, also has research potential. In the domestic toothpaste market, foreign brands still dominate. If Celestial Fortune makes breakthroughs, it could completely squeeze out foreign brands.

Supporting domestic products, Qin Yun certainly doesn’t want to see large sums of money being made by foreigners.

Most of the research institute is empty now, with no people. Since Zhou Qiang is interested in research, Qin Yun is willing to provide funds and equipment for him to research.

Subsequently, Celestial Fortune’s second laboratory was officially established.

Just like that, another two weeks passed in the blink of an eye!

...

At Jiangyuan University, Qin Yun arrived at the dormitory.

In the past two weeks, he had been busy and hadn’t come to the school.

"Brother Qin."

Seeing Qin Yun arrive, Zhao Kanghao immediately came over and said with a smile, "Your company’s shampoo is really good; it feels much better than what I used before."

Celestial Fortune was quick, and had already distributed Celestial Fortune Shampoo to the students at Jiangyuan University. As Qin Yun’s roommate, Zhao Kanghao and others naturally used it directly.

In two weeks, four packets of shampoo would definitely be used up, and then he bought another bottle.

Actually, the shampoo Zhao Kanghao used previously was quite high-end. In terms of price, it was even higher than Celestial Fortune Shampoo. It was 300ml, and the price had already exceeded 100 yuan.

"Yes, Brother Qin, my scalp was a bit itchy before, but it stopped itching after I used it," Li Hanyu also said with a smile.

"In our class, Zhang Qian and Zhao Tianzhi, who had less hair, have grown some new hair. They couldn’t be happier."

In two weeks, the effects were already beginning to show!

"Products from Brother Qin are definitely top-quality!" Zhao Kanghao gave a small compliment and said with a laugh, "My dad seems to be developing a bald spot, so I bought some and took it home for him to try."

His family had some money. His dad was in business, but in recent years, his hair had been thinning, and no shampoo seemed to work.

Hearing Zhao Kanghao’s words, Qin Yun was suddenly struck by a thought.

"Zhao Kanghao only recommended it to his dad, but not to others. I can let people at the school fully play their initiative and let more people try it as soon as possible."

A series of ideas suddenly formed in his mind.

Qin Yun had confidence in Celestial Fortune Shampoo, but having confidence doesn’t mean others will use it.

No matter how delicious a food is, if you place it in some deserted alley where no one knows about it, you can’t sell it.

"Besides advertising on platforms like Douyin, I can also have people promote it."

Advertising might not convert into a lot of sales, as it might take dozens of views to get one purchase.

But if others promote it, the speed would probably be faster.

The effects were good, and Qin Yun’s plan was to expand the market as quickly as possible.

His free distribution of shampoo at the university was also aimed at quicker promotion, but now he had thought of a better method.

Just at this time, Liu Xin walked into the dormitory. He still looked thin and small.

Liu Xin’s family was poor, and when his sister was ill before, Qin Yun helped out a bit, but only to a limited extent. His family’s situation hadn’t improved.

During university, Liu Xin had been doing part-time jobs at various places.

As for the Celestial Fortune Clothing store...

The clothing store mainly hired young girls, so Zhou Xiaoke could work part-time there, but Liu Xin couldn’t.

At the clothing factory, the designers Qin Yun recruited from the university could work part-time because they could design directly on the school’s computers and send their designs to the factory.

It wasn’t suitable for Liu Xin either.

Seeing Qin Yun in the dormitory, Liu Xin immediately called out, "Brother Qin."

He had always been very grateful to Qin Yun.

"Liu Xin."

Looking at Liu Xin, Qin Yun thought for a moment and said, "Where are you doing part-times now? How’s the pay?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin replied, "I’m working at KFC, Saturdays and Sundays, earning ten yuan per hour."

Nodding, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Are you interested in helping me with something?"

Hearing this, Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Brother Qin, you tell me."
