After all, Xu Qiang is still unwilling to sell the technologies he has mastered at a low price.

In fact, when it comes to cosmetics, Xu Qiang knows something.

Whether it is lipstick, eyebrow pencil, facial mask, or facial cleanser, these things are very common in later generations and the competition is fierce.

It's just that Xu Qiang needs to keep some "cards" in his hand, because the production formulas and processes of these products he masters are more than 40 years ahead of this era, so even if he keeps them in his hands for a few years, they will definitely not depreciate.

In addition, Xu Qiang has been waiting for the implementation of the national patent law.

在前世的时候，《中华人民共和国专利法》是在1984年3月12日由中华人民共和国第六届全国人民代表大会常务委员会第四次会议通过的，并自1985年4月1日起开始施行。

In fact, even with the patent law, Chinese people still do not pay enough attention to patents, and some even don’t know what patents are.

Even until the 1990s, patent issues still did not receive much attention. Therefore, in such a business environment, continuous innovation is the only way to remain invincible in business.

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Zhang Li said with a smile when she heard it.

It was obvious that Zhang Li did not show much disappointment with Xu Qiang's answer.

Because it is obvious that Xu Qiang is a man after all, and asking him to develop women's cosmetics is obviously too much to ask, or even impossible.

The reason why she found Xu Qiang was because of the strength he had demonstrated in developing perfumes. In addition to imitating five perfumes on the market, he also produced more than ten other perfumes. It was for this reason that she decided to let Xu Qiang try the development of other cosmetics.

But even without Xu Qiang, Zhang Li still has her alternative plan.

Afterwards, Zhang Li got off the car, while Xu Qiang and He Yonghong took a car back to Shanghai.

"It's so fun to make money with you. Now I can be considered a millionaire with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan." After getting off the car, He Yonghong was overjoyed with the 10,000 yuan that Xu Qiang gave him in his arms.

"This is what you deserve. If we sign a long-term project in the future, I will give you one third of the money." Xu Qiang said straightforwardly.

"One third!?" Upon hearing this, He Yonghong was stunned.

According to the price agreed upon by Xu Qiang and Xue Zhiqin before, if the annual salary is 150,000 yuan, He Yonghong can get a full 50,000 yuan!

What does an annual income of 50,000 mean these days? It can be said that one is definitely a wealthy person. Even in a big city like Shanghai, one is definitely a wealthy person!

However, what He Yonghong didn't know was that for Xu Qiang, this money was nothing to him. As long as his factory could be built in Changzhou, the money he could earn in the future would be far higher than this labor fee.

"As long as you follow me and work hard, you will definitely get enough money." Xu Qiang smiled and continued, "This time the money for your wedding should be enough, right?"

"That's enough, that's enough!" He Yonghong nodded repeatedly and said, "As long as she graduates from college, we can get married right away. That's what we agreed on."

"The girl is so well-off, don't let her down. If you want her to live a good life, you have to make more money. This is our responsibility as men." Xu Qiang glanced at He Yonghong and then said, "Also, don't drink so much. It's not good for your health."

"I drink less now. In the past, I drank to relieve my sorrow when I had something on my mind. Now that my life is so good, why should I still drink?" said He Yonghong.

"Haha, you're right." Xu Qiang laughed when he heard that.

Just as the two were about to enter the campus, they suddenly heard a horn behind them. Turning around, they found a brand new 212 jeep parked behind them.

"Director Meng?" When Xu Qiang saw the person getting out of the car, he was stunned for a moment.

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Meng Guangming.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Meng Guangming walked up to Xu Qiang and asked.

“I went to Changzhou…”

"Uh." Meng Guangming nodded, but did not continue asking. Instead, he took out a pair of car keys and handed them to Xu Qiang.

"This is……"

"Haven't you always wanted a car? The ministry has approved it." Meng Guangming smiled slightly, and then said: "I was originally thinking of applying for a gas subsidy for you, but looking at you like this, you probably don't need it..." "Thank you so much, Director Meng!" Xu Qiang said excitedly when he heard that.

"You don't have to thank me. This is a special approval from Minister Zhang. He attaches great importance to you, so you must not let the department down." Meng Guangming said seriously.

"Director Meng, don't worry. I guarantee that I will complete the 8702 project within one year!" said Xu Qiang.

"I hope you didn't do it with your mouth." Meng Guangming smiled and then said, "The renovation of the institute has already begun. I have arranged a special person to be in charge. I will return to BJ today. When you are free, you can go to the site to check the progress of the renovation. The person in charge is Zhang Zhe. If you have any suggestions, just talk to him directly."

"Ok."

"I have other things to do, so I'll leave the car to you." Meng Guangming said, turned around and was about to leave.

"Director Meng, I'll drive you."

"no need."

The next moment, Meng Guangming left the school gate.

"Oh my God, you were given a car. I remember our factory director's special car is a jeep like this. Yours is a new car. It's even more impressive than our factory director's!" At this time, He Yonghong came up, his eyes full of envy.

Anyone who can drive a car these days is definitely either rich or noble.

Even though the price of the 212 Jeep is only more than yuan, it is still an unattainable dream for the current Chinese people.

Moreover, even if you have a car, it is not easy to get a driver's license these days. You need a certificate from your unit, and then the traffic management office will conduct screening. The number of places is very limited, so it was a miracle for He Yonghong that Xu Qiang could drive so quickly.

"As long as you work hard, you will have a car sooner or later."

"I don't count on it." He Yonghong shook her head and said, "I just need to save some money, so you can drive me for a ride."

"You pay for the gas!"

"Stop joking. As a big capitalist like you, do you still care about the gas money?" After saying this, He Yonghong got into the car directly.

Seeing this, Xu Qiang also smiled and opened the car door.

The car sent by Meng Guangming was like a timely help to Xu Qiang.

With this car, Xu Qiang not only finds it much more convenient to travel in SH city, but more importantly, once his dye factory is moved to Changzhou in the future, Xu Qiang can drive there himself, making it easier to manage the factory.

The only thing that made Xu Qiang a little dissatisfied was that the 212 jeep of that time was relatively difficult to drive and was far less easy to drive than the cars of later generations. However, this was not a big problem as long as he got used to it after a period of time.

After the car started, the two quickly left the school gate.

The first thing they did was to deposit the money in the bank.

Since following Xu Qiang, He Yonghong's savings have skyrocketed. Now, he has more than 16,000 yuan in savings, becoming a true millionaire!
Xu Qiang's personal savings, plus the labor fee this time, totaled to 28 yuan! If his equipment in Jiangxi is included, his total assets exceeded yuan!
This is all the assets that Xu Qiang has earned in more than a year after his rebirth, which can be said to be quite astonishing.

However, this money is still not enough for Xu Qiang.

Xu Qiang’s goal is to earn about two million yuan within five years. Only in this way will he have enough funds to start his own factory.

Although Xu Qiang currently only runs a dye workshop, this kind of thing is just "child's play" for him, because the technical threshold is not high. Therefore, with the gradual development of the domestic chemical industry, the products he currently produces will be caught in competition and involution like the humic acid fertilizer in the past, eventually leading to less and less profits, until he finally has to give up.

Therefore, Xu Qiang must make products with extremely high technological content and upstream and downstream industry moats in the future. Only in this way can he remain invincible in the domestic market for a long time and even go global.

Among some of the high-end chemical products that Xu Qiang controls, in addition to aramid fibers, there are also carbon fiber products, various new energy materials, high-performance membrane materials, bio-based materials, biomedical materials, high-performance fibers and their composite materials, etc. As long as you focus on one of these things, you can get very high profits.

So now, although Xu Qiang has earned his first pot of gold in his life, in fact, he is still in the initial stage of capital accumulation. He needs to make more money, and at the same time he also needs to accumulate some useful personal connections to pave the way for his future plans.

After carefully putting the passbook into his underwear pocket, Xu Qiang took the steering wheel and drove the car through downtown SH. The breeze blew on his face, making him feel overjoyed... (End of this chapter)
