Free Web NovelChapter 1203: Chapter 1205
Watching Cai Meina and the others return, Gong Ruzhi felt various kinds of happiness.
"Mom, did you enjoy shopping today?" It’s said that women only feel good when they keep shopping.
Happy? How could she be happy, but this was the children’s filial piety. If she said she wasn’t happy, wouldn’t that discourage the kids?
"I quite like it." To say this was already pretty good, worried that her younger son would continue asking, "I’ll go see if your aunt needs anyone."
What’s the situation? Gong Ruzhi didn’t understand. Wasn’t the purpose to let mom go shopping? Why does it seem she’s not happy at all?
Could it be that the old lady feels like they spent too much money? Yeah, that must be it. Their mother is just reluctant to spend money.
What to do? This left Gong Ruzhi at a loss about what to do.
"Sis, do you think mom is unhappy?" Gong Ruzhi was confused, so of course, he had to ask Gong Ruini.
Unhappy, indeed she was unhappy. Gong Ruini knew but didn’t know what to do either. Was she supposed to go and cheer up Cai Meina?
Sometimes people need to figure things out for themselves, "It’s okay, mom is just eager to see Xiao Hong."
Is that so? Gong Ruzhi felt it shouldn’t be the case, but if his sister said so, he could only believe it.
"Actually, Xiao Hong is quite cute, it’s just that mom cares too much about him." Gong Ruzhi was still a bit jealous. This was his mom, after all, but why is she so concerned about that kid?
"Because our younger brother is still young." Poor Xiao Zhi, he didn’t understand why he wasn’t as favored as Wan Yihong. It’s because he’s too mature, leaving mom with no sense of accomplishment.
Yeah, it’s because the younger brother is young. Was it too much for him to be jealous over this?
Oh, he forgot something important, "I forgot to buy something for Xiao Hong."
He bought things for everyone in the family but forgot to get something for Xiao Hong. This left Gong Ruzhi anxious,
Not buying clothes for my aunt was a small matter, but he couldn’t not buy something for Xiao Hong.
"Bought it." Gong Ruzhi was just excited about buying things for Cai Meina, so he forgot about the little kid. That’s why it wasn’t on the list, but Gong Ruini remembered.
They bought it, which relieved Gong Ruzhi, "My dear sis, you’re the best after all."
"What did you buy?" Gong Ruzhi asked expectantly.
"Bought bottles and such."
"And diapers." Gong Ruini didn’t know much about diapers. Seeing them available here, she felt they must buy some.
Even though Cai Meina would have various objections against using them, she bought these for another purpose.
What are diapers? Not sure.
"They’re for Xiao Hong." It’s just not clear how many people back home will accept these things.
They’re not cheap, and elderly people may think they’re not breathable, and so on.
As expected, Cai Meina was against it when she saw the diapers Gong Ruini bought.
"These things aren’t good for Xiao Hong."
"Not breathable." Although she didn’t know the price, nothing bought from the United States is cheap, let alone Gong Ruini who never buys cheap stuff.
"But with these, it doesn’t matter if the kid pees at night." Wan Qiweng quite liked this.
Even though she’d already had a son, everyone was young then, so they got through it. But now, over thirty, their energy was waning.
Especially at night when the baby cried, they had many things to tend to, like changing diapers and feeding, tiring Wan Qiweng out.
"Plus, you don’t have to worry about wetting the bed."
Wan Qiweng, although she hasn’t used them, noticed many benefits quickly, "Ni Zi, if we make this, do you think sales would be good?"
The sales of maternal products have been gradually increasing, so Wan Qiweng was thinking if there’s a new project to do, they shouldn’t miss it.
"I’m not sure, there will be opposition." Even after making so much money, Cai Meina still scrimps on these costs, let alone others.
Opposition, exactly. Even our sister-in-law is against it, but with such a good product, how can it not be done due to a bit of opposition?
"I think not many people will use them." Cai Meina was anxious because once her sister-in-law made up her mind, there would be no changing her decision.
In her view, with the current maternity product business being very successful, there’s no need to explore new projects.
"No, I believe it wouldn’t be few," Wan Qiweng had made up her mind, "Initially, when we started the maternity products, there was also opposition."
"Although our items are expensive, in the end, didn’t the sales shoot up already?"
As for the expensive price, that’s not an issue, "Now, everyone only has one child, so no one will scrimp on spending for them."
Not to mention, even parents who weren’t focused on education before are now all in, resulting in Gong Ruini’s training schools earning big.
Alright, since she’s made up her mind, there’s no need to rush and annoy. These days, why don’t people focus on securing their existing businesses to earn money steadily?
Concerning Cai Meina’s despondence, Wan Qiweng noticed but didn’t feel like consoling her.
It’s really impossible to console, how could she? Was she supposed to say not to do the diaper business? Oh, she couldn’t bear that.
Ever since the sales of our maternity products went up, how many factories have been trying to produce diapers too? If we don’t innovate or have new projects, being overtaken is only a matter of time.
After all, this thing is quite straightforward, without any secrets.
"Sis, since you do skincare products, you must know how profitable women’s money is," Wan Qiweng explained helplessly.
"If women’s money is easy to make, then so is children’s. How could we miss this opportunity?"
Although Cai Meina didn’t agree, being able to explain a bit was good enough. If the decision was already made, what good was her being a shareholder?
"I’m not supportive. I just feel this step is too big."
Too big a step? Maybe spending a long time in academia has made her accustomed to planning, to negotiating, and taking things slowly.
But in business, you can’t be slow; you must act quickly, "I’ll start handling it as soon as we return."
Nobody’s willing to use this stuff in the scorching summer, but come winter, it’s a different story, "If we had known about these earlier, we could’ve started production sooner."
At least when winter comes, many will know about it, and sales would be the least of the worries.
"No worries, there’s always next time." Gong Ruini didn’t feel this thing would earn in just a year or two, it’s just a question of how much they might lose.
The current pressing issue is whether to produce these diapers in the same factory as the maternity products or to set up a new one.
