After checking the latest shell shape, Shen Lu suddenly said: "This design is good, but it makes me have some different ideas. Have you considered adding several more gorgeous or open models on this basis? , such as adding a canopy to the outside, or a semi-open carriage.”
Yin Lian was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that he had such an idea. After thinking about it, she suddenly reached out and took out a document from her backpack. When she opened it, it happened to be a drawing. She showed it in front of Shen Lu. .
"Look at this."
Shen Lu took a look and found that it was the convertible car he requested. The difference was that there were two rickshaw shapes drawn on the above drawing. There was basically no difference in most of the structures. Only the top part was obviously different—— The upper parts of both cars are open, and even the doors only reach half a person's height, but one of them has a canopy above it. The inside is a wooden structure like a fan rib or an umbrella rib, and the outside is like an awning. structure. Perhaps in order to display the effect more clearly, the entire design has been simply painted. The interior is made of wood, painted with a very textured brown, and the outer shell is black. According to previous experience, it should be metal. Manufacturing, and the ceiling above is black with golden patterns scattered on it. I don’t know if it is intended to be decorated with gold foil... Shen Lu calculated it. Judging from the area, if it is decorated on oilcloth, the treatment should not be too Thick and won’t increase the cost too much.
The handling of the carriage was different from what Shen Lu expected, but after careful consideration, he felt that this design also had its own advantages. However, because of the novelty and the difference between tradition, Shen Lu could not immediately judge whether it was better. Still worse.
In fact, Yin Lian is a reference to the open-top sports car of later generations, but even so, the design of the open-top sports car is still extended from the old open-top carriage, so it is completely okay to say that it is a direct reference to the open-top carriage.
This kind of convertible is still very different from a canopy, but compared with a canopy, it has many advantages - such as convenience, strength, practicality, cheapness, and novelty.
Shen Lu looked at this drawing and was very surprised. He said with a bit of amazement: "It seems that my opinion is unnecessary. You are already considering this model and have made two different models." design."
He seemed to have misunderstood, so Yin Lian said, "Not two. These are two renderings of an open-top rickshaw." She came closer, pointed at the canopy, and explained, "Look at the wood here. Is the bracket structure very similar to fan ribs and umbrella ribs? This is a canopy that can be opened and closed, and the two drawings are their respective renderings in the open and closed states."
After hearing this, Shen Lu checked it carefully and found that this was really the case. Although the car was not finished, the design was very beautiful, and he felt that it would probably be liked by the wealthy class. In this regard, Yin Lian's taste is indeed better than most people, to the extent that she can lead the trend.
He looked at the design drawing for a while, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He stretched out his hand to turn the page back. Yin Lian was so vigilant that she immediately stretched out her hand to press the page of the book, and at the same time suppressed his hand that was about to move.
Shen Lu was stunned for a moment and said, "I just wanted to see if there were any other designs behind me... I didn't mean to peek into your privacy."
Yin Lian said: "This is the design book. I didn't put any privacy in it. But I won't show it because there are design drawings."
Shen Lu: "...We are partners, right?" Why are we guarding against thieves?
Yin Lian said: "Mr. Shen, it's meaningless to say this. Keeping the cards is for longer-term cooperation, right? Just have a little expectation and wait for the results to be announced. Don't worry, I am a very good person. Integrity, as long as you are always reliable as a partner, I will never betray you.”
She said it sincerely...and a little coldly.
In fact, Shen Lu didn't have to watch it, he was just a little curious, but hearing what Yin Lian said at this time made him realize that he thought that the girl was impressed before, but it was actually just an illusion - although he expressed After pursuing his attitude, the girl just refused and did not distance herself from him. However, this had nothing to do with acceptance. Maybe she just pretended that it had not happened, or out of a superficial feeling. Etiquette and substantive interests, she didn't want to make the relationship too clear.
But Yin Lian's attitude didn't waver at all. Shen Lu realized that she was far more rational and cold-hearted than she thought.
Girls should be emotional, but in many cases, it is men who are more likely to show such coldness - just like the heirs of a big house, their wives are just a foreign object to them. Compared with the overly soft existence of "lover", Instead, it pays more attention to “practicality”.
It is actually terrible to use this word to evaluate living people, because it seems to deny the wife's own value and human rights. But not all those who do this are scumbags, some are saints in the eyes of the world.
Ultimately this is a difference in mentality.
The dependent regards the emotional connection between the two parties as all capital, while the dependent is willing to give up everything. In a sense, the reason why they maintain the relationship is that responsibility outweighs feelings.
And this can even be considered a virtue.
When Shen Lu realized this, he vaguely felt that maybe he shouldn't try to pursue Yin Lian in the same way as a woman. Maybe it would be easier to assume that he was pursuing a gentleman. But this idea makes him feel a little ridiculous - but in a sense, he has doubts. According to the development of the current times, maybe the new-style women he will see in the future will become more and more like men?
He trembled and reflected on whether he had the tendency of Longyang's addiction - he had obviously never had similar suspicion before.
But it was obvious that he couldn't figure it out at the moment, so for the time being, he just adjusted the way he got along with Yin Lian, trying to help her more in her career.
He found several skilled craftsmen for Yin Lian, using a variety of materials and materials to facilitate her further design and research and development. Yin Lian didn't consider this aspect at first, and most of the vehicle designs she picked up and modified. However, Shen Lu's actions did allow her to learn a lot of new technologies, many of which will no longer be available in the future. Its use is unknown, but it was a craftsmanship that was very sophisticated and useful in this era.
Returning the favor, Yin Lian also gave Shen Lu some marketing suggestions.
Shen Lu actually has a lot of experience and ideas in this area. Some of the promotion methods seemed very sophisticated even in Yin Lian's time, but the times always progress. Yin Lian's experience is not as good as Shen Lu's, but he is more knowledgeable than him. wide, so I can always come up with some wonderful ideas.
Although Shen Lu was surprised, he would not accept everything as ordered. Instead, he would have a very detailed discussion with her about the actual situation, and then select and combine their respective plans and ideas, and finally come up with a suitable marketing plan. plan.
In fact, in this era, ordinary newspaper propaganda is very advanced, but it would be better to have more eye-catching methods to choose from.
In the end, the two of them decided on a specific promotion plan for bicycles and new models. Shen Lu was responsible for contacting various specific links. Although Yin Lian also sorted out her own connections, it was obvious that her connections were included in Shen Lu's social circle. Guess, she simply stopped worrying and left the troublesome part directly to Shen Lu.
She manages several businesses and is actually very busy. In fact, the same goes for Shen Lu. His business is much larger than that of Yin Lian, but the difference is that he has strong capital and a deep foundation. He has a lot of manpower to use, but Yin Lian cannot.
Her foundation is too shallow, the people she can use are limited, and she lacks experience, so she has to do it herself a lot of the time.
On this day, she went to review the manuscripts of this issue of the publishing house again, and found that the plot of "Ming Fang's Cleansing of Injustice" had almost come to an end. In the accompanying letter from Yue Ke, the female author elaborated on her future plans - - Because "Ming Fang's Innocence" is very popular and has very good sales. Although there are some controversial aspects, at least the quality has been recognized by all walks of life. The controversy has only boosted the popularity, so I was not optimistic about the heroine's works before. Some publishers changed their tune at this time and began to invite Yue Ke for manuscripts. However, Yue Ke expressed his feelings in the letter, saying that the cooperation with Yin Lian was very pleasant, so he still wanted to cooperate with Yin Lian's publishing house for future creations.
The story of "Ming Fang Cleansing the Wrongs" has been completed for the time being. Yue Ke is sure there will be a second part, but there is no inspiration for the story yet. On the contrary, she began to discuss the next new book with Yin Lian - this was back on track. She mentioned a masterpiece by Yue Ke that existed in the history of the Xia Kingdom in later generations, and its influence and evaluation were also extraordinary.
After Yin Lian read her idea, he wrote a reply letter expressing his expectations for her new work.
Afterwards, she read other letters, but found a very special letter among them. It was special because Yin Lian found that there was no postmark on the letter, but it was marked with the name of a person who she thought would never write to her.
...Yin Lian doesn't think this is a prank, because it is a meaningless prank.
She then asked everyone: "Who brought this letter?"
After asking the editorial and news departments, everyone said they had never seen it. Just then, Li Lici came in. When she saw Yin Lian holding a letter and asking questions, she walked closer and said, "I brought it over." Her expression was complicated. , said, "An acquaintance of mine is a fan of yours, Erya, and asked me to help you bring letters."
Yin Lian: "..."
Li Lici thought she didn't know, and the person who wrote the letter also thought she didn't know, but she had long recognized the real owner of this pen name, and it was His Royal Highness... Why didn't this make her feel complicated?
