Ji Youyou composed a Weibo post, her words full of unabashed praise for the Aloe Vera Frost:
"I recently accepted a wonderful endorsement for the new Aloe Vera Frost launched by Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory. I’ve always trusted the products from Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory, so I didn’t hesitate to accept this time either. Last night, I tried it on a whim, and the result... I really have to rave about it!
My work schedule is usually very busy and my sleep is irregular, so my skin condition has always been a bit unstable, and I occasionally get a few pimples.
But just look at this...
In just one night, my skin has become so smooth and delicate, fair and radiant. The pimples on my face have completely disappeared, and even my pores are invisible. The effect is simply out of this world! [Surprised][Surprised][Surprised]
(Attached images: one is a bare-faced photo from before, looking slightly tired; another is a bare-faced comparison photo from this morning, looking smooth and radiant; and a product shot of the Aloe Vera Frost.)
I highly recommend this to all my beauty-loving sisters! Trust me, you’ll definitely fall in love with it! #DingsAloeFrost #BareFaceChallenge #SkinTransformation"
The moment this Weibo post was published, it immediately sparked heated discussions online.
As an A-list celebrity with over a hundred million fans, Ji Youyou’s every move attracted widespread attention.
What’s more, this time she was sharing her genuine skincare experience, complete with such astonishing comparison photos.
The comments section instantly blew up:
"Sister Youyou’s bare face is unreal! Her skin is so good."
"Oh my god, the difference is huge. It’s like she has a completely new face."
"Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory? I remember their medicines are always really effective. I didn’t expect them to be making cosmetics now."
"Ji Youyou is personally endorsing it and even posted her own trial experience. That makes it super credible."
"Aloe Vera Frost? Sounds very natural and gentle. With these results, I’m a little tempted."
"This much improvement in one night? Am I dreaming?"
"Waiting for the launch! I can’t wait to buy it!"
"A product from Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory is guaranteed to be top-quality. I’ll buy it for the brand name alone!"
Fans expressed their trust in Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory one after another, shocked by the effects of the Aloe Vera Frost and voicing a strong desire to purchase it.
After seeing Ji Youyou’s Weibo post, Ding Kaifang felt a weight lift from his shoulders.
The effect of this promotional wave far exceeded expectations. The successful launch of the Aloe Vera Frost was now a sure thing.
Once the promotional offensive was in full swing, Ding Kaifang immediately contacted his trade partner, Sun Qingshuang.
Sun Qingshuang was an expert in the overseas pharmaceutical market, possessing extensive international promotion experience and a wide network of channels.
After receiving Ding Kaifang’s call, Sun Qingshuang immediately came to Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory.
When he saw the clinical trial report for the Aloe Vera Frost, his eyes lit up.
"President Ding, this Aloe Vera Frost will absolutely shine on the international market."
Sun Qingshuang flipped through the report, a look of pleasant surprise on his face. "The human trial data is perfect, the effects are clear, and it’s safe and reliable. It completely meets the entry standards for the international market." ƒrēewebnovel.com
The cosmetics sector was highly profitable. Once they successfully broke into the international market, not only would it bring enormous profits to Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory, but he, as the agent, would also be able to rake in a fortune.
"I’m most familiar with the markets in Japan and the United States. Consumers in these two places have high demand for cosmetics and are very receptive to new products. I plan to start promoting it in these two places first."
Sun Qingshuang said, full of confidence.
"When it comes to international distribution, you’re the expert, President Sun. I’ll follow your lead."
Ding Kaifang had no objections.
...
Due to the limited production of Aloe Vera from Anchi Village, combined with the high quality of the Aloe Vera Frost, after discussing it with Li Xu, Ding Kaifang decided to position the Aloe Vera Frost as a mid-to-high-end product. This would ensure the effective use of resources and create a premium brand image.
This decision was directly reflected in its pricing: in the domestic market, a 50ml bottle of Aloe Vera Frost would be priced at 200 yuan, while for export, the price per bottle would soar to 1000 yuan.
The production cost for a single bottle of this Aloe Vera Frost, it should be noted, was a mere 3 yuan.
The enormous profit margin filled Ding Kaifang with confidence about the Aloe Vera Frost’s future.
Last year, although several of Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory’s products were very popular, profits were limited due to time constraints.
Ding Kaifang was confident that after the Aloe Vera Frost’s launch, Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory would absolutely cross the threshold to become a major pharmaceutical manufacturer by the end of the year.
With only three days left until the official launch of the Aloe Vera Frost, Ding Kaifang’s entire focus had shifted to this new cosmetic product.
With Ji Youyou’s celebrity effect and targeted advertising on major platforms, Ding Kaifang was certain the Aloe Vera Frost would be an instant hit.
He personally supervised the production workshop, demanding that all workers put in overtime to ensure a sufficient supply.
He didn’t want a star product to become a laughingstock right after its launch due to insufficient stock.
After a full day of work, Ding Kaifang felt mentally and physically exhausted.
He rubbed his throbbing temples, planning to go home and get some proper rest.
Just as he was about to get up, his assistant rushed in with a document.
"President Ding, a document just came in from the city. Please take a look," the assistant said.
Ding Kaifang sat back down in his chair.
He opened the document and saw it was a joint notice issued by the Bureau of Commerce and the Bureau of Culture and Tourism.
To boost Feng City’s local economy, the top live-streaming e-commerce host, Xiao Dong, had been invited by the municipal government. He would be coming to Feng City with his "Traveling with Dong" team to hold a multi-day live-streaming sales event.
The main purpose of this live stream was to promote Feng City’s specialty products, especially agricultural ones.
Therefore, the Bureau of Commerce and the Bureau of Culture and Tourism were requiring all major enterprises in Feng City with suitable products to actively apply. If selected, they would have the opportunity to sell their products in Xiao Dong’s live stream.
For any company, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for promotion and sales.
After reading the document, Ding Kaifang’s first reaction was that this had nothing to do with the Ding Group.
The Ding Group’s core business was real estate development. Although they had some tourism projects, most were still in the planning or early construction stages, with no mature products to sell on a live stream.
He was just about to tell his assistant to ignore the document when a flash of inspiration struck him—the Aloe Vera Frost!
Although Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory’s medicines had an excellent reputation and sold extremely well, they were, after all, a special type of commodity. Subject to various regulations, they were not suitable for public sale on live streams.
That was why he had never paid attention to live-stream selling before.
However, the Aloe Vera Frost was different. It was a cosmetic and perfectly met the requirements for live-stream selling. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Ding Kaifang’s spirits lifted instantly, his exhaustion completely vanishing.
He immediately instructed his assistant, "Get a sample of the Aloe Vera Frost and all the relevant qualification documents ready right now. Send them to the Bureau of Commerce to enter the selection. Tell them this is the latest cosmetic developed by Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory, and its effects are absolutely top-tier."
