Bai Zhi was somewhat helpless. Was her cousin getting excited a bit too early—he actually...
"However, this time, we’re not cooperating with anyone."
After a good laugh, he suddenly became serious.
Bai Zhi was taken aback. Oh, perhaps she had misunderstood Bai Xiang just now.
"This isn’t as simple as just food. If it truly is effective, then in the future, that’s a whole industry chain issue. Maybe we’ll have to become bosses ourselves. I’m really excited, but we’re too young and lack any real strength, so we have to find a Big Tree to protect us."
Bai Zhi truly admired Bai Xiang; in such a short time, he was able to think of so much. He didn’t even know the effect yet—it was really a wonder why he had so much trust in her.
"Cousin, shouldn’t you take a look at the effects first? Isn’t it a bit too early to talk about this now?"
Bai Xiang extended his hand, signaling Bai Zhi not to speak. He had many thoughts that weren’t sorted out yet and needed to organize them all.
"Firstly, we need you to make some so people can try it. Then, we can start selling based on the effects.
Keep in mind, these days everyone, boys and girls alike, cares greatly about their faces. Everyone wishes to be a little more beautiful. If the effects turn out to be outstanding, then we can look for someone to collaborate with.
By the way, cousin, you have Whitening Powder. Do you have anything for weight loss or removing spots? In the future, we can build an entire industry chain, of course, provided we have the money.
There’s no need to rush, let’s take it slow. We’ll take it slow."
Bai Xiang was now completely in a state of excitement. He felt this was the most important opportunity of his life and he had to seize it.
"You can make several versions, ones with a little effect, not bad effect, and especially good effect. Take it slow, and it’s best if no one knows the formula."
Bai Xiang began to talk confidently, radiating a glow of self-assurance. It was as though nothing was a problem and victory was within reach.
"Cousin, we’re still students. Do you think we can protect this recipe?"
Bai Zhi felt a little heartache, yet she had to tell him the reality. Is beauty profitable? Undoubtedly, but the complications involved are massive. If they start rashly, they might get swindled without even realizing it.
Even if Bai Xiang was very capable, could he deal with those cunning and shrewd people?
"So let’s take this step by step. The industry chain I mentioned is for when we’re grown up. I heard from my friend that these days everyone is doing patent applications. We should take the recipe and apply. We could ask Second Grandpa for help, what do you think?"
Bai Xiang, of course, knew they couldn’t protect it themselves, so he wasn’t planning on becoming an industry chain right now.
"No, it’s not my recipe. It’s my master’s, and I must ask for his opinion first."
Bai Zhi thought about it and went to Old Han again, with Bai Xiang joining her. When they shared their ideas with Old Han, he was genuinely impressed with Bai Xiang—could he really have thought this all through?
"That’s fine, I can directly help you apply too, putting Xingxing’s name on it."
Old Han said, without any hesitation, smiling as he spoke.
"But this really isn’t mine..."
"How is it not yours? My recipe is the Rejuvenation Powder; the Whitening Powder was made by you. As for the others, as long as you can create them, they’re yours, and I’ll help you apply."
He’d rather give it to the young girl, at least she had explored and figured it out on her own. Those were just some notes he had casually written, along with combinations, but the one who actually made them was the young girl.
"But definitely not now. You can start making and selling them now, but don’t even think about the rest. Wait until you’ve started at the Chinese Medicine University. When you’re in college, we can talk about this again. You’re too young right now, and couldn’t protect it."
He wasn’t unwilling to help them now, but they were just too young, and no one would believe a child could develop these. And he couldn’t expose himself, so they had to wait.
Bai Zhi saw Old Han’s seriousness and nodded vigorously. She understood.
