Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 403 – “This is urgent. When are you going to start selling the real stuff?” (3)

Gu Shishi had found that out from Sier, the gossip master, long before now.

It was exchanged for a portion of the Huo’s profits.

It had only been a few days and that gal had already been proudly pratting about it?

“Even you heard about it?”

“Mmhmm! She had given a few sets of skincare products to Zhou Mi and a few others. She also said she wants to take everyone out for lunch this weekend to thank us for showing our care over her surgery.”

Chen Kexin went on and on about it.

“But now she’s a competitor of your new company. What is going through her mind?!”

Gu Shishi took a look at the scroll she had laid out on top of the table.

It was a painting of Xishi doing laundry for her spring product line.

She lifted her brows when she heard what Chen Kexin had said to her.

“Oh, she doesn’t know about that.”

Chen Kexin, “... ...?”

“I have only sent you some samples. I didn’t tell anyone about managing my own brand.”

Chen Kexin’s eyes widened.

She was then bothered by the word “sample”!

“Oh yeah, how are you liking the samples?”

She had never used the diluted version herself nor did she have any idea the differences between the product produced from the formula and the ones that she could exchange from the system’s marketplace.

Chen Kexin was fine up to the point of her bringing it up. Then she exploded.

“YES!! You have given me 20 bottles of samples, 10 ml each. My mom and I each kept 3 bottles for our own use. My grandma came later on and took away 6 bottles. I told her they are for oil control, not anti-wrinkle. She didn’t listen to me and said she will be given them to her friends!

“You told me three bottles are for Chuchu. I split the rest between Li Yiru, Zhou Mi, and the others.

“All of them raved about it!

“I feel that my pores had minimized.

“Most importantly, it works wonder with blackheads!!!

“Big sister, I have been wanting to ask. When are the real stuff going onto the market? This is urgent, urgent, urgent!”

Gu Shishi’s ears were hurting from all her screaming and she quickly pulled it away from her ears.

“I am still working on their packaging. Be patience.”

“... ...”

“Didn’t you say the other day that summer is not even here yet?”

“... ... ORZ.”

Gu Shishi finished up her work on the packaging after her conversation with Chen Kexin.

In the meantime, she had also communicated with Plant Manager Liu Zhichao along with the entire New Product team on market positioning, coloring of the packaging, as well as the placement of logo and fonts on the packaging.

“Boss, we just might end up being the underdog that is going to take everyone by surprise this year!”

Plant Manager Liu was very excited when he saw Gu Shishi’s sample paintings after the meeting.

Gu Shishi was still not perfectly happy with them and wanted to adjust the softness of the court ladies’ skin as well as the charm in their eyes.

Plant Manager Liu, on the other hand, was already quite happy with them.

“We received the feedback from our blind testing. 90% of users responded that our products were the best among the samples. They even exceeded a few international brands.

“After three days of trial, 70% of users are okay with a price point of 300 – 500 yuan.”

Gu Shishi nodded.

500 yuan for 100 ml. It was not quite the pricing of high-end products just yet.

That being said, 70% of the public are not okay with pricing of high-end products. So the price point from the marketing research was already quite promising.

“The data is great. We are in the process of considering launching our new product during the Double-12 (December 12) promotion period. We should also push them out to our counters in local department stores at the same time. We are thinking about 15% infusion initially.”

It was already too late for Double-11.

“Do we have advertisement arranged?”

Liu Zhichao nodded immediately. “We will be finalizing on the very last packaging design and start replacing our existing posters in stages, starting with subway stations and bus stations with the most traffic in November.”
