Reason for lack of money

  "This extraction machine alone costs almost 40,000 yuan." Chen Hui pointed to a medium-sized instrument in the clean workshop. "I spent half a year's income as a lawyer on this thing."

  "What's this thing for?"

  "For example, green tea, ginseng, this kind, I can extract myself"

  "Uh, it wasn't me who did it, my partner did. He's a science master and is going to take his doctorate this year. But I don't understand what his major is all about, something like biochemistry physics... anyway, he's a science Ph.D., and maybe some of his future papers will rely on research done with this machine, so the operation work is all done by him."

  Two guests majored in finance and stared blankly at a pile of buttons, but that didn't affect their admiration for eternal youth.

  "This is a detector, bacteria and heavy metals can be detected in just a few seconds. The extract made here, just need to draw one test tube from the can, no waste."

  "What if it's unqualified?"

  "Expensive ones like ginseng, I make a little less at a time, cheaper ingredients are used more, but I've been using it for two weeks now and haven't encountered any problems because when I put in the ingredients, I test them first, so generally there won't be any issues... Alright, beauties, come try my new product - uh, take some back to try."

  "Too good!"

  "Okay! Let me take another look at others!"

  ……

  The property was indeed sold out, but only half of the owners moved in. Chen's actual practice encouraged many homeowners to turn their houses into offices and rent them out to SOHO entrepreneurs.

  At present, Chen Huan is very satisfied with the style of the new studio. It's worth spending six figures to get it done, clean, bright, and cold-hard. The original specialized storage cabinets and testing, purification, and disinfection equipment are even more impressive when placed inside - outsiders think it's professional-level; as for insiders, well, she runs an online store, not nanomaterials, so don't be too particular about that!

  She took more than a dozen photos and selected the best two, shrinking their pixels before posting them in her online store.

  The existing online store remains unchanged, while the e-commerce platform mainly sells patented products and her handmade crafts, and the resold items are no longer available in the company's online store.

  Ms. Lai also came to her studio, requiring her to sign a formal business agreement with the club on the spot - she wrote the agreement herself, including quality inspection and return of goods, as well as many technical terms, ensuring a win-win situation.

  。

  "Your place is really great, it doesn't look like a trading company at all."

  "It was a messy warehouse before renovation, but now it's configured according to the requirements of an ordinary chemical laboratory, and it looks much better."

  "Great! Does this antioxidant have a specialized detection report?"

  "Yes, so this talent can get a patent." The third formula really cost a lot of money, but currently it is also the best-selling series... although more than a year has passed and the cost has not been recovered yet...

  "Afterwards I use what, you make a bill for me, then sell goods to the club."

  "Good!" She handed the boss's order, she almost opened her mouth - simple but also the most expensive, of course, it was also the best.

  After seeing off the boss, Chen Haotian returned to his computer and modified the store's introduction.

  I think simplicity and efficiency are what we truly need.

  After Ponghua got his second degree certificate, he slept soundly in his doghouse for a whole day. However, Chen Huan didn't pity him and only helped him order three hamburgers and a bottle of Coke, but he still had to crawl out himself to pay the bill.

  At night, Pang Hua, who couldn't take it anymore after eating hamburgers and cola, crawled over to work. Chen Huasheng "kindly" rewarded her with a large bowl of thick and flavorful egg drop soup with shrimp and fish - actually this was originally her breakfast for tomorrow. The midnight snack was a small pot of original flavor red bean sago pudding without two pieces of ice sugar.

  There's just too much to live for.

  During the renovation of the workshop, only orders were accepted and no shipments were made. Some urgent customers left, but there was still a hungry marketing effect. Of course, patients with patience all had gifts: it wasn't just the long summer that passed, the weather said cold and then it was cold again, and it was another long wet and cold winter, so the flannel socks became extremely popular as gifts again.

  When it's time to open, Chen Haosheng once again promoted a new set of suits.

  This is a killer pace! Half a year's accumulation, over a thousand orders, more than three thousand pieces of stuff!

  Fortunately, there were not many types of goods in this batch, and they were all familiar to Pan Hua, so the order processing speed was doubled.

  。

  The franchisee boss of the express delivery station came to the door with a small van, not only running twice a day, but also delivering 2,000 printed express lists with the store name and new contact information in one breath.

  "I really didn't expect it, but I actually sent out 980 packages."

  "Even after deducting losses and refunds, there are still tens of thousands of yuan in net profit."

  "Only ten thousand? That's so little..."

  "...many orders are less than 50 in total, plus there are gifts and discounts, so the total amount."

  "The profit is really thin!"

  "An average profit of eight percent is had."

  "Uh, how is profit calculated?"

  "Revenue minus cost minus expenses. The daily rent of the workshop, and the depreciation of these equipment and instruments, you know, the depreciation of computers and electronic instruments is calculated over three years. For example, this extractor was purchased for 36,000 yuan, and the asset increased by 36,000 yuan that year, with a depreciation cost of 12,000 yuan per year... After three years, the depreciation is complete, and the asset is gone."

  "It means computers and, uh, electronic devices become outdated in just three years!"

  "Right."

  "Shall we change computers next year?"

  "Your spirit is still pretty good!" Chen Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes, "Today you'll make three hundred bottles of No. 2 formula essence milk again."

  "......" Three hundred? Are you kidding me?! Does it have to be done by tomorrow morning?!

  "Don't shout! I'm going to make 500 bottles of No. 4 water."

  "...No. 4 water is sold at 10 bottles for just over 10 minutes, while No. 2 milk takes more than 10 minutes to sell five bottles, okay?"

  "Alright, I'll do it until 9 pm tonight. I still have work tomorrow. You start preparing for your PhD exam tomorrow."

  “……！”

  The next morning on the subway, Chen Huai Cheng habitually applied some of his homemade fragrant ointment under his nose and began to think seriously:

  All these years, where did the money I earned go?

  ！

  Her income is really not low, and she never splurges on luxury brands. She hasn't even bought a Coach handbag before. So why can't she save any money or assets? Hmm, her company has six-figure assets, but they're depreciating rapidly, including the car. Except for the license plate number, which retains its value, unfortunately, it's not something that can be cashed in. From head to toe, her skin and hair are well-maintained at a cost of several thousand dollars each year, more than what she spends on clothes. And then there's food and drink... with an additional mouth to feed, their daily average meal expenses are almost one hundred...

  Okay, if she didn't open an online store and make friends with other shop owners, her living costs would be much higher. For example, her current makeup look was also designed with the advice and guidance of a designer friend who owns a store. Otherwise, it's estimated that she wouldn't have been able to achieve such a suitable and good-looking result on her own.

  Thinking like this all the way, it's natural to ignore the breath at the tip of your nose.

  Even though she leaves early, the subway is still very crowded, and the smell in the carriage is unbearable. There's body odor, sweat stench, stale air, and all sorts of bad breath, mixed with the musk from perfume and the ammonia from sweat, creating an even more nauseating smell. But everyone has no choice but to continue taking the subway every day because it's fast and cheap. At most, they can just add some other pleasant smells under their noses.

  Fast and cheap...

  Chen Haotian was inspired by these fragrances and began to think seriously about whether he should launch a series of products with fewer effective ingredients, lower costs and prices, and easier to use. For example, a non-greasy moisturizing lotion that can be used on the face and eyes at the same time in summer, a nourishing cream that can be applied to the whole body, face and hands without feeling too expensive in winter, a refreshing and non-sticky hand cream that can be carried around, and a small bottle of additive that can be added to any shampoo...

  As a result, she thought too deeply and got caught up in the tragic:

  Missed the stop! Going back the same way!

  Author's personal recommendation: When buying skincare products, never listen to salespeople promoting the same series of full set products. Firstly, different brands and product series can be mixed and matched as long as they don't conflict with each other. Secondly, unless your skin is extremely dry and lacking in water and oil, using a full set of toner, essence, lotion, and cream will be too much for most skin types. It's recommended to buy trial sets or small samples to test which combinations work best (be cautious when buying mid-sized products online as they may be counterfeit).
