"Hey, Celestial Fortune has started selling toothpaste!"

In the laboratory, a team member exclaimed in surprise, and his words reached Zhou Qiang’s ears.

As his words fell, the other team members were also surprised.

"Celestial Fortune claims to have developed a toothpaste with multiple effects such as removing dental plaque and whitening teeth!"

"Oh my god, so many people are buying it on Tmall and JD! It’s only been less than an hour since its release, and they’ve already sold over a hundred thousand boxes!"

"It’s crazy."

The people were discussing, and their words reached Zhou Qiang’s ears, causing his face to change abruptly.

Stopping what he was doing, Zhou Qiang also looked at his phone.

After reading the official statement from Celestial Fortune and looking at the sales of their toothpaste, Zhou Qiang’s eyes were filled with immense shock.

"How is that possible?"

He knew Qin Yun’s character; just like with Celestial Fortune Shampoo, which was tested for effectiveness before being sold.

So this Celestial Fortune toothpaste must have been tested before it was sold too.

He had left the Celestial Fortune laboratory just over two weeks ago. In such a short time, not only had Celestial Fortune toothpaste been developed, but it had also been tested?

Qin Yun wouldn’t sell it unless it was thoroughly tested.

Zhou Qiang didn’t believe it, or rather, he simply didn’t want to believe it!

Previously, he was anxious, worrying that Celestial Fortune would develop this toothpaste first, and his fears had indeed come true!

"Bang!"

At this moment, the laboratory door suddenly opened, and President Li walked in.

At this moment, there wasn’t any smile on President Li’s face, but rather a hint of somberness.

"This Zhou Qiang is truly useless. We poached him, yet he isn’t helpful at all," President Li cursed inwardly, glancing at Zhou Qiang, who was looking at his phone.

Zhou Qiang was a lead figure in the Celestial Fortune toothpaste laboratory. They spent funds to poach him, even compensating Celestial Fortune, just to have him achieve results.

But now, over two weeks have passed, and nothing has been accomplished, while Celestial Fortune has already completed their research.

Since it’s been completed, Zhou Qiang is essentially useless now.

All their investment was in vain.

"Zhang Wu, Sun Xiang... you will move on to other laboratories next," President Li continuously instructed upon arriving.

"Yes, President Li," the laboratory members whose names were called quickly nodded.

They looked at Zhou Qiang, and their gaze had changed. No longer filled with the previous respect and flattery, it now carried a hint of schadenfreude.

They despised Zhou Qiang’s character before, but no one dared to speak up. Now, however, the situation was entirely different.

"President Li, if all these people leave, this laboratory..." Zhou Qiang’s face changed after hearing President Li’s words, and he hurriedly spoke.

The laboratory had about a dozen people, and President Li called away ten of them, leaving just a few scattered around.

"Three people are enough for the laboratory."

President Li looked at Zhou Qiang with an indifferent face, even with a hint of somberness.

Previously, when Celestial Fortune Shampoo was launched with such astounding sales, he had been fiercely scolded.

He thought that poaching Zhou Qiang would be a treasure, but it turned out to be nothing.

After speaking, President Li quickly left, leaving three people in the office. The other two looked at Zhou Qiang, exchanging glances.

At this time, Zhou Qiang’s face kept changing, clenching and unclenching his fists.

If you looked closely into his eyes, there was clearly visible regret deep in them.

"I knew I shouldn’t have come here."

At this moment, Zhou Qiang couldn’t be more regretful in his heart.

He was doing well at Celestial Fortune’s laboratory, about to receive a bonus soon. But then, he was poached by Procter & Gamble Company to come here.

Initially, he thought he could achieve something, but there was no progress at all. In just two weeks, the attitude of Procter & Gamble Company, who valued him immensely, changed immediately.

Needless to say, the ten million bonus was almost impossible for him to get now.

"If I hadn’t come here..."

Zhou Qiang couldn’t help but think.

If he hadn’t come here, he would now be basking in immense glory at Celestial Fortune, and the bonus would soon be in his hands.

But now, not only was the bonus gone, but his reputation was also ruined; apart from staying with Procter & Gamble, other companies were unlikely to want him.

After all, who would dare to hire someone who chose to betray at a crucial moment in research?

Thinking about his future situation, Zhou Qiang felt even more regretful in his heart.

...

"May is approaching, and now that Celestial Fortune Shampoo and Celestial Fortune Toothpaste are newly launched on the market, they are under pressure, so we can’t make any mistakes and let our competitors find an opportunity!"

Zhou Qiang’s case was no longer on Qin Yun’s mind. At the Celestial Fortune office building, he was holding a meeting.

Before the Chinese New Year, Qin Yun had established the Celestial Fortune Medical Research Institute and Celestial Fortune Technology Research Institute, and now it was almost May, yet Celestial Fortune had ventured into two new industries!

Celestial Fortune Shampoo and Celestial Fortune Toothpaste!

These might seem like small industries, but in April, Celestial Fortune Shampoo was selling like hotcakes, generating profits of 12 million for Qin Yun!

This was pure profit after deducting advertising, promotion, staff salaries, and all other expenses!

This could rival several large Celestial Fortune Clothing stores!

Because these are essential commodities, as long as the promotion is in place and more people use them, profits will keep rolling in!

The shampoo example proved that Qin Yun’s previous strategy of investing funds to create research institutes was entirely correct!

The people below listened, and as Celestial Fortune developed, the staff continued to grow.

Celestial Fortune’s headquarters were also being established, and Qin Yun still didn’t know how far Celestial Fortune could go, or how massive it could become.

After all, now it suddenly ventured into the shampoo and toothpaste industries, and it might enter more industries in the future!

Who knows if one headquarters might not be enough in the future.

Just like Tencent, which established five headquarters in Hua Country!

Therefore, Qin Yun carefully considered the headquarters in Jinling, temporarily using it as the first headquarters, without needing to consider too many detailed aspects.

In the future, they could start to establish a second headquarters elsewhere!

Looking at the people below, Qin Yun continued, "Additionally, May is college recruitment season. We need to do a good job with recruitment..."

One instruction after another was given, and for Celestial Fortune, May would undoubtedly absorb a large number of talents!

"Regardless of the clothing company, shampoo factory, or toothpaste factory, my research institutes can absorb a large group of people!" Qin Yun was looking forward to it.

Fresh graduates from universities are absolutely at their most active mental state,

They are young and actually more likely to achieve something,

For example, Einstein published the Theory of Special Relativity at the age of 26, opening up new scientific fields.

Watt started researching steam at 23 and invented the steam engine at 29.

Newton discovered gravity at 23, and so on.

When you really get old, it’s not easy to research something new.

Jinling has three university towns, full of excellent students. Absorbing some outstanding ones could often give Qin Yun pleasant surprises.
