"Huh? My hands? They're fine, just tanned! From being on the rooftop!"
Pang Jun raised his arm for inspection.
He looked at Ye Chen as if Ye Chen was overreacting.
"Went to the rooftop to tan?"
Chen Yinuo was momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend.
"Didn't I spend the past few weeks holed up in the lab? I was trying to develop a high-end sunscreen based on the Flawless Cream formula. After many trials, I managed to create something based on some of its components! After completing the data experiments, I bought several high-end international brands for initial comparative testing. Here's the comparison!"
Pang Jun flexed his arm to show Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo.
He then placed a bag of bottles and jars on the table.
"Area 1 on my hand shows the effect of the newly developed sunscreen. Area 2 is the effect of CPB's most expensive sunscreen, which retails for 880 yuan for 50ml. Area 3 is Lancôme's sunscreen milk, 890 yuan for 30ml. Area 4 is Pola's sunscreen, 890 yuan for 45ml. Area 5 is La Mer, 1275 yuan for 40ml. Area 6 is La Prairie, 1650 yuan for 50ml. Area 7... well, I know it's considered overpriced, but I bought it anyway. It's from 3Lab, a small American brand specializing in high-end products, 3000 yuan for 50ml!"
Pang Jun held out both hands. "Take a look at the comparison!"
Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo carefully examined Pang Jun's hands.
"This effect... it's significantly better than the other six products?"
After looking, Chen Yinuo couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's only been a short time, and you've already developed a sunscreen that is so much better than top international brands?"
"This effect is incredible!"
"Would I show you if it wasn't noticeably better? Besides this obvious visual comparison, the data shows our product significantly outperforms those international brands in terms of SPF and gentleness," Pang Jun said proudly.
However, Ye Chen's expression was a bit strange.
In his previous life, the next product Pang Jun developed after the Flawless Cream was also a sunscreen.
But there was a six-month gap between the release of the Flawless Cream and the sunscreen.
Now, it had only been less than three months.
Also, in his previous life, Pang Jun didn't do this rooftop tanning test.
"You really are a treasure!"
Looking at Pang Jun, Chen Yinuo was speechless.
The Flawless Cream had already swept the domestic market, bringing incredible profits to Yi Ren Ru Xue.
If they launched a high-end sunscreen that outperformed world-renowned luxury brands...
What would happen to Yi Ren Ru Xue's profits?
Chen Yinuo's mind went blank.
"It's all thanks to Ye, thanks to the Flawless Cream. Without Ye, even with sufficient funding, the Flawless Cream wouldn't have been developed so quickly. Without the Flawless Cream formula and the experience gained during its development, there wouldn't be this sunscreen," Pang Jun said modestly.
"Let's not talk about credit for now. What were you thinking? Why did you test it by tanning on the rooftop? Was that necessary?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.
"Personal testing provides the most direct product feedback. This is how I've always done it! Every time I develop a new product, after the data checks out, I'm the first to do clinical trials. Once I'm satisfied, we proceed with larger-scale skin tests. Wasn't that how it was with the Flawless Cream? I initially wanted to test it in a place with stronger UV rays, but that was too much trouble. And the UV rays in Jiangzhou have been strong lately, so I just went to the rooftop for convenience!" Pang Jun explained.
Looking at Pang Jun, who truly lived up to his "madman" reputation, Ye Chen was speechless.
He could only be thankful that he had recruited this genius in both his past and present lives.
"Is this considered sacrificing yourself for Yi Ren Ru Xue?" Ye Chen chuckled.
"Absolutely! Does that mean I get a raise?" Pang Jun asked bluntly.
"A one hundred million raise, bringing your annual salary to three hundred million!" Ye Chen said seriously.
"Well, maybe not. Two hundred million is enough! You can't take money with you when you die," Pang Jun said, shaking his head with a smile.
In terms of contentment, he surpassed 99% of people.
He knew that with his contributions, even if he asked for a share of Yi Ren Ru Xue, Ye Chen wouldn't hesitate.
But he never had such thoughts, not even for a moment.
He even thought two hundred million was too much.
"When can this sunscreen go into production?"
Ye Chen smiled, changing the subject, having already decided to allocate some shares to Pang Jun when he reorganized Yi Ren Ru Xue and merged it into Tenglong Group.
"Although I think it's flawless, given the data, effects, and gentleness are significantly better than those high-end international brands, we still need to follow the procedures: batch skin tests, product registration, production application, product inspection. This process will take two to three months. We could expedite it, like we did with the Flawless Cream," Pang Jun said.
"As long as the product is fine, we can still expedite some of the process. Yi Ren Ru Xue is in good standing with the government, so the relevant departments shouldn't delay. The city leaders have likely already spoken to them," Ye Chen nodded.
"Okay, then it could be on the production line in a month. But if we don't use OEM and produce it in our own factory, it will definitely reduce the production of the Flawless Cream. What should we do about that?" Pang Jun considered.
"A moderate reduction is fine," Ye Chen nodded. "For this sunscreen, an initial production of 10,000 units per day is enough."
"10,000 units a day? Okay, that shouldn't affect the Flawless Cream's production too much," Pang Jun said.
He then seemed to remember something.
"By the way, Ye, now that we're on this topic, you should think about the pricing for this sunscreen. Unlike the Flawless Cream, which was sold at a low price to help people with self-esteem issues due to their appearance, this sunscreen shouldn't be priced so affordably. We can set it a bit higher. People who buy these kinds of products aren't short on cash, right?"
