Chapter 208 Getting on track
The two first took the agreement to the government for filing, and then went to Hua Yan's birth place.
"Boss Wen, although this place is being renovated, it will be ready in a few days. Look at this house with three courtyards, it's our Hua Yan."
Master Wu made the courtyard bigger according to Lin Ting's request and installed stoves in all the rooms in the back building.
The east and west wing rooms also need to be connected, a few long tables need to be built, and all the walls need to be cleaned.
This yard covers a large area of about six acres. The front part does not need to be renovated and can be used as a warehouse.
Finished products are placed on the second floor, as well as the management area for the boss and the person in charge. The back seat is made into a large canteen where workers can eat.
That day, Lin Ting accompanied Wen Wen to look around the place inside and out.
It was not until the evening that Lin Ting invited Wen Wen and his wife, as well as Lin Lin, to have dinner at Nanxinglou, allowing Lin Lin and Wen Wen to meet and get to know each other formally.
"Boss Wen, this is my sister, and also Hua Yan's partner."
The two nodded at each other: "My name is Lin Lin!"
Wen Wen nodded: "Wen Wen! This is my wife, Su Nuannuan!"
Lin Ting arranged for a few people to sit down. She and the owner of Nanxinglou ordered a table full of dishes and gathered them together to discuss the next arrangements.
"Sister, Manager Wen, we have already visited the Huayan processing area. The next few days may be our busiest time.
Now is the time to find someone to custom-make a small porcelain bottle for rouge, a lipstick tube, and a beautiful golden soap box. Since these are things used by women, we must make them exquisite.
We also need to have our own trademark on the products, and every product must have a trademark."
Lin Ting had already designed the trademark when he was making the plaque for the gate. It was a beauty with her face covered with flowers, revealing only half of her peerless beauty.
"I can find someone to make these custom-made, but as for the design style, we can summarize it together before customizing it," Wen Wen said.
"Okay, I've heard a lot about Lin. I'll try to draw it when I get back, and then Lin will design the interior capacity."
Since her divorce, Lin Lin has learned some arts including music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is a quick learner.
The three of them discussed some details, and when the meal was almost over, Lin Ting made the suggestion.
“We have almost finished discussing Huayan’s production, but we still need to find a store in a location where people gather.
But I can find this. If Master's Wife wants to go out, she can come and look after the shop for us. What do you think?"
People like Su Nuannuan would be mentally healthier if they had a job and interacted with more people.
"Me? Can I?"
Su Nuannuan was a little scared. Although she used to be cheerful and confident, she had become a little afraid of strangers since she fell ill.
"Of course you can! Madam, you are so beautiful. When you use our makeup products, you will be the face of the station when you go there."
Su Nuannuan felt a little embarrassed when Lin heard about it.
She touched her face. She had lost weight and was not as pretty as she was a year ago. But these words gave her a lot of confidence in an instant.
"Then...then I'll try it then..."
Wenwen held her hand, encouraged her, and told her to keep busy, which would be beneficial to her condition. Lin Ting had told him this that day.
"Nuannuan, I believe in you too. You can do it!"
Hua Yan decided that Lin Lin would be in charge of Hua Yan's operations from now on, including customized bottles and jars, and the import and export of materials.
Wen Wen manages production, quality control, worker scheduling and management, etc.
Lin Ting is responsible for external marketing, promoting Huayan, and finding partners.
The store in Wenzhu County will be temporarily managed by Su Nuannuan, and Lin Ting will also assist her.
The people had clear division of labor. In the next few days, they were all busy. Some were designing patterns for the products, while others were looking for and decorating stores.
When Lin Ting opened a two-story store in the center of Wenzhu County, although it had not yet opened, the colorful flowers on the plaque were enough to attract the ladies and young ladies of Wenzhu County to stop and take a look.
"Mrs. Zheng, look at this shop. Isn't it the Hua Yan from the lucky draw at the Tea House? Madam Lin really opened the shop."
Hua Yan's lipstick and rouge are both very useful. These ladies have nothing, but their families are still relatively wealthy.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t win a prize. You can just follow the winners and spend a little more money to buy something from them so you can use it too.
"As far as I know, this is Madam Lin and her team's new store. As long as they open it soon, they'll have all the rouge and lipstick we want. I'm really looking forward to it."
Mrs. Zheng wanted the store to open earlier than Lin and the others so that she could get what she wanted.
"Now that the powder shop is open, will Madam Lin and the others sell Jade Muscle Powder here? If so, I will definitely stock up on a dozen bottles."
Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Liang often get together and have heard a little about it.
"I think so. After all, Chayulou is a place for drinking tea. Since they have a store, they will naturally sell the Jade Muscle Powder here. I just don't know how much they sell."
Lin had heard that Yujisan would be sold at the grand opening ceremony, and Chayulou would then retain the lottery method whereby players could obtain items from Huayanli.
"Really? That's great! I'll definitely buy a lot when the time comes..."
In just a few days, Master Wu had completed the renovation of the Huayan production yard, and the molds that Wenwen had gone to get were also available.
He even hired a lot of workers, paying them twenty-five cents a day, including two meals, which was considered a high price.
Lin Ting and Lin Lin have also produced quite a few custom-made porcelain bottles and lipstick tubes. Currently, they are using the same style that Lin Ting used before.
Huayan is officially in production and is divided into several departments. Wen Wen is responsible for formula control, and Lin Lin is responsible for shipping and purchasing materials.
Lin Lin also transported all the mung beans stored in the West Street Tea House to Hua Yan, and they also began to produce Yuji Powder in large quantities.
Lipstick, rouge, facial cleanser, and lotion and cream prepared by Lin Ting.
Wen Wen also has rouge recipes of different colors, and Lin Ting also modified his recipes to make lipsticks of different colors.
All production was back on track, and Lin Ting went out specifically to negotiate the prices of porcelain bottles and the design of lipstick tubes.
Place orders with these processing workshops to check whether the samples are usable.
The entire Wenzhu County, including the neighboring county, wanted to get a piece of the pie under Lin Ting's leadership, but Lin Ting had only one thing to say: anyone who could provide high-quality goods could cooperate.
So until now, she receives countless samples every day.
The new store is almost ready for renovation. Now they just need to transport Huayan’s products to the new store, pick a date, and officially open for business.
