Still, it took a long time for the magazine's content to make its way south. When he saw this newspaper for the first time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was shocked. After reading the entire publication, he couldn't help but said to others: "I haven't seen Sister Li Duan for a long time. She seems to have her own ideas slowly." .”
His family Zhimo also read the magazine and said: "This content seems to be about romance, but in fact it encourages learning and independence and self-improvement within the scope that the lady can accept. The same is true for Mr. Liu's report, which also writes about her life. With Pingcheng's success and showing off so many beautiful clothes, there will definitely be many women who can't help but imitate her. Nvhong is a part of tradition, but if a woman becomes famous as a nvhong, it can make traditionalists and advanced A path that is accepted by all factions.”
"And this article is also very interesting. It implies that the crown prince or the wife of an official should be a well-educated woman. This is a disguised attempt to seduce those small families who can send their daughters to education but don't want to. They want to ask for money. Son-in-law, if you want your daughters to marry well, you must ultimately let them receive a good education. In addition to the serialization that follows... Princess Liduan's thoughts can be said to be very tortuous. If she enters politics, I am afraid she will be quite successful. as.”
After hearing this, the prince was silent for a moment and said: "When a woman enters politics... At that time, many people said that she was a bastard, forcing her to return power to her grandfather... If not, why would I have left Daxia? At this point? Si Chen, the hen, may not be as good as the rooster."
"Your Highness, be careful what you say!"
In another sense, his words were quite derogatory to the late emperor and the present emperor. If someone gets caught, the regent will definitely publicize that he has resentment.
The prince shut up and said, "I understand." Then he changed the subject and said, "If there is an opportunity in the future, I wouldn't mind revealing what kind of woman I like."
Staff officer: "...You can easily cause trouble like this."
The prince said: "It doesn't matter. I just say that I am happy with a woman like my mother. Who can talk about it?"
The other party was stunned for a moment.
This statement is safe as the truth, but in a sense that does not involve reality, it expresses what the prince wants to express and echoes the argument of "The Lady".
But he also knows His Highness's character - he probably sincerely admires the Queen Mother's character and abilities, but he definitely does not really like that kind of woman. In other words, he has not considered what kind of lady he likes, but is not afraid of using her. One's own preferences guide the public's psychology.
In a sense, he is too kind, but also extremely ruthless.
Yin Lian's factory is still open. Due to the creation of "Lady", Li Laixi looked at her with admiration, and even had several more face-to-face encounters, intentionally or unintentionally. Yin Lian knew that the other party was observing her, but he pretended not to notice and only treated him as an ordinary high-ranking official of the police station.
When the final design of the rickshaw was completed, Yin Lian had slowly begun to establish relationships with the owners of various warehouses and stations, and became familiar with her. After the release of Lady, she began to often use this identity to attend various banquets, and she also It has been held several times, and through this way I have gotten to know people from all walks of life. Although the owners of the seven major warehouses in the capital are only businessmen, their influence is not small. Among them, except that they do not have wives and daughters, or their family members are particularly not good at socializing. Yes, the other Yin Lians are basically connected.
Because of her "disfigurement", she has encountered some troubles. But with her overseas background and witty words, her highest record is that within three minutes, she managed to get a girl who was initially hostile to the point where she completely lost her hostility. Instead, she began to ask her questions about strange people and strange things overseas, as well as some stories from "Lady". Follow-up information.
This ability amazes many people.
Yin Lian had never experienced the benefits of madam diplomacy before, but now she did. In a sense, this is a social method that is quite suitable for this era.
The promotion of human-powered trucks is actually very easy. Yin Lian then hired some porters to deliver periodicals to the publishing house by bicycle, which quickly attracted public attention. Later, she revealed a little bit at the banquet that she had some relationship with a businessman who manufactured human-powered trucks, and soon attracted the attention of several warehouse owners' wives.
After that, the two sides naturally began to get closer.
However, the other party did not order many vehicles at the beginning, and they were still a little hesitant about its functions or utility, so they probably only ordered a batch of trucks and wanted to test them out first.
Yin Lian was not surprised by this.
But when she came home that day, she received an unexpected invitation. The name Yin Lian on this invitation actually looked familiar to her, and she suspected that she was a historical figure she had seen in some historical materials. However, she was so familiar with the history of the Xia Kingdom that she could not remember where she had seen it.
After making inquiries, she found out that the other party was a well-known big businessman in the country. It was said that her father was a very far-sighted big businessman. Soon after the workshop was established, he accumulated a considerable amount of money by operating several business routes. With a sum of capital, he later started to open his own workshops and factories. Shen Lu himself is even more discerning than his father, but he has no wife in his family, only a few beautiful concubines with very subtle backgrounds. Naturally, he cannot participate in a party of this level organized by Yin Lian, so he can only make an appointment on his own. Yin Lian.
He didn't show off. He probably got information about the man-powered trucks through some means, so he calmly stated on the invitation that he wanted to reach a certain degree of cooperation with Yin Lian on the man-powered trucks nationwide, and hoped that she could personally or dispatch them at that time. The agent went to a restaurant for a while. If there is any time inconvenience, you can also send someone to reply by letter.
He didn't seem to consider the possibility that Yin Lian would refuse.
But Yin Lian thought about it and didn't refuse.
She sent someone to reply, not rejecting or rescheduling, but politely conveying her intention to keep the appointment when the time came.
When Shen Lu received the reply, he didn't expect the girl to be so direct and straightforward. Although there were rumors that this young lady was covered in burns and was extremely ugly, she was still a young lady after all. According to Shen Lu's idea, some caution and reserve were inevitable.
But the other party's attitude was much more cheerful than expected. This made Shen Lu feel some unexpected affection for her.
When they met, Yin Lian did not take off his hat and said, "My face is ugly. In order not to affect your appetite, I will not take off my hat."
In order to match the setting of Burn, Yin Lian actually used some methods to slightly change his voice, making it sound a bit hoarse. However, the voice was not particularly unpleasant, and Shen Lu said, "You don't have to take off your hat if you don't want to. But if we reach a cooperation, I still hope to see the true face of the lady. Regardless of beauty or ugliness, I at least have to Know what your collaborators look like.”
Yin Lian said: "If you don't mind, I can take off my hat now and let you see my true face."
Shen Lu suddenly laughed and said, "That's the best thing. If Miss, I even hope you can speak to me directly in your real face. If everything goes well, we will be future partners. I don't care about you, Miss." You have a good appearance, but I care very much about whether I can see your true attitude when discussing business."
Yin Lian said: "Okay."
But he reached out and started to take off the curtain hat.
When she started, Shen Lu just stared at her. Until Yin Lian took off the hat, he looked at the other person's face, but surprisingly he didn't feel as scary as he expected.
The scars on his face are indeed very visible, but they are still to be expected. Shen Lu could even vaguely see the girl's original beauty through the better-recovered scars and Yin Lian's facial features. He guessed that Zeng Erya must have been a very outstanding and beautiful girl before she was burned. However, the scars were so severe that it was difficult for him to imagine her original appearance.
Yin Lian asked: "How? If you can't accept it, I can put my hat on."
Shen Lu shook his head and said, "No, that's it."
Yin Lian was a little surprised.
But Shen Lu didn't seem to care very much, and talked about the business with Yin Lian seriously: "...I am very optimistic about the market for this kind of manned trucks, but at present, it seems that it is far from just relying on cooperation with warehouses. It cannot live up to its potential..."
Yin Lian said: "The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step... This matter cannot be rushed."
Shen Lu said: "But if the market can be launched quickly, then who wants to take it slow? After all, time is money."
Yin Lian asked directly: "How does Mr. Shen hope to cooperate?"
"I have two plans. One is that Miss Zeng, you can directly exchange the technology for a certain share, and I will be responsible for providing the other. I will set up factories in various places and quickly spread the manned trucks to different cities. , I can let you get 30% of the net profit. On the other hand, Miss Zeng, you will be responsible for providing the rickshaws, and I will be responsible for selling the trucks to various cities in the country. I only make two requirements, one is to supply at the wholesale price, and the second is to The first is to give me priority in supplying goods. That is to say, the price is more favorable than others. In addition, before the supply volume that I need is met, I cannot supply to others first."
He paused and said: "Of course, considering that Miss Zeng has already cooperated with other people before, and there is a first-come, first-served basis for doing business, Miss Zeng can retain the same priority for business within the capital."
Yin Lian listened and was silent for a while, but then smiled slightly and said, "I listened for a long time and only heard about the benefits that I have to pay... But what kind of benefits can I get? Or rather , Mr. Shen, what price do you have to pay?"
Shen Lu glanced at her, surprised that she discovered the negotiation issue so easily. He said: "I will guarantee a minimum order volume of 300 units per month. The contract period is temporarily set at five years. After five years, priority can still be given to renewing the contract, but the conditions can be re-formulated based on the situation at that time."
Yin Lian said: "I also have conditions. In the contract, I hope to have more complicated restrictions on the order quantity. Since we have to set a minimum order quantity of 300 units, we might as well set it more thoroughly. If the order quantity for the month is three If it is more than 100 units and less than 500 units, I will supply no more than 90% of the production capacity to you. If it is more than 500 units but less than 1,000 units, it is 70%. If it is more than 1,000 units and less than 5,000 units, it is 50%. , if it is more than 5,000 units, I will only give priority to supplying 50% of the minimum production capacity, up to 5,000 units, and for trucks with more than this part, I can freely choose which party to supply."
Shen Lu's eyes finally moved as he looked at her, because he realized that the girl in front of him was a much more difficult opponent than he imagined.
Shen Lu has met all kinds of people in the shopping mall. Most of those opponents are older, more experienced, and have higher status than Yin Lian, but none of them can see through his purpose so accurately and quickly!
At this moment, someone knocked on the private room door. From the rhythm of the knocking on the door, it was obvious that he was not a store clerk. Shen Lu said: "Wait a moment." He took the initiative to open the door.
He said a few words to the other party, then turned around and apologized to Yin Lian, saying that he wanted to leave for a while. Yin Lian didn't know if it was an accident or a coincidence, but he still agreed.
As a result, as soon as Shen Lu left, someone came over in a hurry. Yin Lian's bodyguard wanted to stop him, but for some reason he didn't. Instead, he let him in and followed him in.
Yin Lian raised his head and knew why.
Li Laixi broke in. When he saw Yin Lian's appearance, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "Put your hat on! Don't you realize what your situation is now?"
Yin Lian: "..." She is obsessed with appearance and thinks I am ugly. If I show my true face, I'll scare you to death!
She put on her hat leisurely, gave up the opportunity to fill her stomach, and asked: "Why is the officer here?"
