Chapter 94 Seat Belt

Still a bird cage friend, Huang Zuqiang was reading the manuscript typed by Xian Yaowen. From time to time he would stop and ask Xian Yaowen the meaning of a certain "word".

The manuscript was typed on an English typewriter, but it was not English words, but Waituma pinyin. Xian Yaowen had never learned this stuff, and Xian Yaowen's literary skills were probably not very good. Most of the "words" Huang Zuqiang could connect with the previous and later texts. Meng took a guess, but the number of inquiries was still very high, which gave him a headache.

[Witoma Pinyin: SIN YIU MAN Xian Yaowen]
Xian Yaowen saw Huang Zuqiang's headache and thought that he would hire a Chinese typist when he had time. Learning would not be necessary. The backward knowledge that was destined to be eliminated had little malleability and there was little point in learning it.

Huang Zuqiang read it twice and finally understood the manuscript. He rubbed his temples and said to Xian Yaowen: "Mr. Xian, next time you have this kind of manuscript, can you give me the Chinese version?"

"Come on, come on, be careful next time, ask if you don't understand anything." Xian Yaowen was a little embarrassed and had difficulty sheathing his sword.

"Is Hao Yunlai's character background too close to Niu Dachou in "Thirteen Yao"?"

"What's the problem with this? Shek Kip Mei is a relatively representative wooden house area, and Sham Shui Po is the sales area of ​​Sanyao. It's closer to readers, so it's easier for them to buy in.

By the way, when writing a story, ask the writer to visit the scene. The description of the environment must be realistic. It is best to include one or several readers as passersby and background in the article. "

After a pause, Xian Yaowen continued: "Also, for the scenes that appear in the article, such as grocery stores, stores, restaurants, nightclubs, and tailor shops, as long as there are consumption places where the story takes place and need to be highlighted, go to talk to the boss. Once we have a discussion, ask them if they want their real names to appear in the article, and if so, ask if they want to advertise their store. As long as they pay the money, we can help them promote and beautify it in the article."

"Mr. Xian, is this too much?"

Xian Yaowen glanced at Huang Zuqiang, "Editor Huang, when the dividend is distributed at the end of the year, can I give you 10% less?"

The development speed of Shisanyao is faster than expected. Since the advertising effect on Shisanyao is not bad, the chicken stalls are quite willing to spend money. The advertising fees already received are quickly catching up with the investment costs, and profits are just around the corner.

Huang Zuqiang's face straightened and he asked, "How should Mr. Xian think the charging standard should be determined?"

"You can make up your own mind. I won't comment on the specific affairs of the newspaper."

Huang Zuqiang hesitated for a moment and said: ""The Way of the Dragon" is to advertise Good Luck Lai shirts?"

Xian Yaowen nodded, "You can say that."

"Then, will Good Luck pay for advertising?"

Xian Yaowen said solemnly: "Editor Huang, you and other people in the newspaper office are paid the salary of the newspaper office. They only need to do the relevant work of the newspaper office well. Lucky Lai has no affiliation with Shisanyao, and you have no obligation to consider it." For the benefit of Good Luck, you only need to regard it as an advertiser, and the advertising fees are calculated as you wish.

But no matter what, with good luck, I will be a big customer of Thirteen Years and have a common boss, so I still have to give him a good discount. "

Huang Zuqiang said happily: "This is what it should be."

"Editor Huang, you also need to remember that the people in the newspaper office work for the newspaper office. They have no obligation to help you with your personal matters. It is best not to let colleagues in the newspaper office help you with your personal affairs. If the newspaper office has female colleagues in the future, I will I don’t want you to get too close to them after work, do you understand what I mean?”

"clear."

Xian Yaowen nodded and returned to the main topic of "Dragon Way", "The article should not only highlight the good luck coming to the shirt, but also highlight the martial arts competition. This is something I will prepare for soon. It involves a lot of interests and advertising fees. Not only forget it, but Textile News will also get a share of the benefits."

"Textile newspaper?" Huang Zuqiang was confused for a moment, then suddenly said in surprise: "The newspaper office wants to publish a big newspaper?"

"It can only be said to be a serious newspaper, not a major newspaper." Xian Yaowen waved his hand, "We will discuss this later. It is not yet time to set up. I am raising it now just to let you know how to settle the accounts."

Huang Zuqiang nodded with regret and asked a few more questions, and Xian Yaowen answered them one by one.

Suddenly, the meeting between the two parties ended. Xian Yaowen crossed the sea and came to the office of Jinji Trading Company. He first said hello to Robert who was standing by the window looking at the western view, and then talked to Cheryl about work.

Although the smuggling business has not yet started, Cheryl has not been idle. During this time, she has been collecting relevant information about Western medicine pharmacies in Hong Kong.

Holding the information in hand, Xian Yaowen flipped through it while talking to Cheryl: "Has anything happy happened recently?"

"I have a cat."

"What cat?"

"The cat that catches mice."

"I mean variety."

"I don't know. The person who sold me said pudding has four ears and is very good at catching mice."

"Oh, it's probably a Jianzhou cat, so it's called Pudding?"

"uh-huh."

"When Pudding grows up, give me half of it. I'll use it to cook a delicacy, a dragon-tiger fight."

Cheryl said with a sullen face: "Adam, this joke is not funny."

"OK, I apologize to you." Xian Yaowen spread his hands and pointed to a line in the information, "Is the business of Berlin Pharmacy not good?"

"It's not very good. Not many people go to Berlin Pharmacy to buy medicines. Only guests of cheap hotels on Connaught Road often visit it." As she spoke, Cheryl's cheeks grew hot.

There are many big boats and river boat terminals on Connaught Road. There are many cheap hotels, inns and guesthouses in that area. It used to be the main activity area for secret prostitutes, and there are still many active there. Although there is no note in the information that the sales are good. The name of the medicine, but Xian Yaowen could guess what it was.

"Cheryl, work is work. I will fill in the name of the medicine later." Xian Yaowen clicked on the information and then read down.

After reading the information at once, he turned back to the front and drew a circle on the name of the Berlin pharmacy, "Is the boss German?"

"Yes."

“Is it East Germany or West Germany now?”

"No, Hong Kong people."

"Have a chat with him and find out if he has any relatives in Germany, whether in East Germany or West Germany. If so, let's talk about buying shares. Jinji Trading Company will buy shares in Berlin Pharmacy." Xian Yaowen patted Cheryl's shoulder. , "If not, you demand compensation from the German people on behalf of Great Britain and buy the Berlin pharmacy at a low price."

"Xian..."

"Adam."

"OK, Adam." Robert shrugged, walked to Xian Yaowen's chair and leaned back, "Why do you want to acquire a Western pharmacy?"

"To sell medicine."

"Why? Aren't we going to smuggle gold?"

"Because Western medicine can make more money, we have to smuggle gold, and the same goes for Western medicine."

"learn."

"Robert, how do you get along with your colleagues?" Xian Yaowen took out a cigar from his pocket and slapped Robert's hand away, "It's very expensive. You don't know how to smoke cigars, so don't waste it."

"Adam, it turns out you are not like this." Robert said resentfully.

"Robert, your original expenses were not as big as they are now. I hope you have good news." Xian Yaowen pointed at the window with his cigar, "Otherwise, I will throw you out. Cheryl, what do you think?"

"I'm fine with that," Cheryl chimed in.

"Adam, you know, socializing requires a lot of money." Robert spread his hands, looking innocent.

"Answer."

"We're getting along well." "So, when can I talk to your superior about our business?"

"soon."

Xian Yaowen looked at Cheryl and said, "Cheryl, give him another 2000 yuan. If there is no good news in a week, kick him out."

"OK."

"No, Adam, I am your earliest partner, you can't be so cruel to me."

"Hmm, I know, but apart from spending money, the only contribution you made was to introduce Cheryl to me." Xian Yaowen pointed at Cheryl and then at himself, "Now it seems that I and I Cheryl has reached a consensus, Robert, please work hard, otherwise the shareholders meeting will really vote you out."

"Adam, socializing is not as easy as you think. I..."

"Cheryl, change the amount to 1500 yuan." After saying that, Xian Yaowen stood up and looked down at Robert, "Robert, I don't want to hear reasons or excuses, I just want results. I'll reiterate what I said before. , What you pay is proportional to what you get, no shareholder can get dividends in vain, no one, Understand?”

Robert shouted: "Yes, I do."

"Very good, don't let me down again." Xian Yaowen patted Robert on the shoulder, sat back on the chair, and said to Cheryl pleasantly: "Cheryl, do you still remember our sewing machine agent?"

"of course."

"Go to Singapore. We need an office there. Inukai Nobuo has sent me a message asking about the progress. We need to get started."

Cheryl looked embarrassed, "Adam, you just asked me to deal with the Berlin pharmacy."

"I know, it's just two things, I believe you can handle it well. Don't forget, you are the general manager of Jinji Trading Company, and there should be a few people under you to help you."

"understood."

"At six o'clock, I will meet you downstairs. We have dinner as promised before."

"OK."

At half past five, Xian Yaowen arrived downstairs at Tsing Wah Court Tea Restaurant in Sheung Wan. After waiting for a while, Su Lizhen got into the passenger seat with a shopping bag in her hand.

"What did you buy again?"

Su Lizhen took out two silk scarves from her shopping bag and asked Xian Yao Wen Bao, "Do they look good?"

Xian Yaowen looked at it and said, "I like the one on the left better. It's suitable for matching with black clothes. Have you bought any lipstick?"

"No." Su Lizhen shook her head.

"I need a brighter lipstick match. I'll get off work early tomorrow to go shopping with you."

Su Lizhen nodded with a smile and shook the silk scarf in her hand, "Where's the one on the right?"

"I think goose yellow is not suitable for you, especially this kind of translucent silk scarf." Xian Yaowen thought for a moment and said, "I'll look for it when I get back. I remember which issue of a fashion magazine had an article about matching silk scarves. ,You can have a look."

"I can not read english."

“You don’t need to read the text, just look at the illustrations.”

"Yeah." Su Lizhen nodded happily.

She likes chatting with Xian Yaowen very much. She responds well every time and always gives her satisfactory answers, which makes her very happy.

"It's almost time, fasten your seat belts, let's go."

Xian Yaowen helped Su Lizhen buckle on the three-point safety belt he modified, and stepped on the accelerator towards Lishan Building.

Along the way, while looking at the road, he observed Su Lizhen's status of buckling her seat belt again.

The first time he rode in a car after coming to Hong Kong, he already discovered that seat belts were not standard equipment on cars. After that, he paid attention to the information about seat belts and basically understood that seat belts were still in their infancy.

When he went to buy a car last time, he inquired about it and found out that seat belts were additional features and required extra money to install. So, he took a small job and became an "inventor" and invented the three-point seat belt. The prototype was made.

Just treating it as a joke, he doesn't plan to continue to spend energy and money on the improvement of seat belts. He only plans to register a patent and then wait for a lawsuit if he is infringed. He probably won't win the lawsuit. It doesn't matter, he hasn't thought about it. To win, he doesn’t want patent licensing fees, he wants something else.

After observing for a while, Xian Yaowen stopped turning his head and focused on looking at the road ahead. The seat belt was just inserted unintentionally. It didn't matter whether Liu Chengyin could use it or not. He had not made a decision yet on whether he would step into the automotive field in the future. , In fact, there is no way to make a decision. Everything has to wait and see whether the path he takes goes smoothly.

When they arrived at the downstairs of Alexandra Building, they honked the horn and Cheryl responded. The two cars drove towards Sinning Road, one behind the other.

After a while, the car arrived in front of the Li family's Xinning Building. By coincidence, William Chen had just arrived, so the three cars parked together and naturally joined together as soon as they got off the car.

"Adam."

"William."

William Chen motioned to Sophia, who was holding his hand, "I'll introduce you, Sophia."

"Hello, Ms. Sophia."

Xian Yaowen came forward, shook Sophia's hand, and saluted her face to face. He only had to make a kiss on the mouth, but he faked it and kissed Sophia firmly on the cheek.

Chirp, chirp, there was a slap on the left and right cheeks, making Sophia tremble.

"Adam, why don't you introduce this lady to me." Before his face could be recovered, William Chen's voice sounded resentful and unhappy.

Xian Yaowen retracted his face, took a step back, took Su Lizhen's hand, and introduced: "My Venus goddess, Su Lizhen, you can call her Zhen."

"Hello, Ms. Su."

After William Chen signaled Sophia to let go, he stepped forward and moved his head forward, trying to copy Xian Yaowen's behavior just now, but before his head could reach the position, Xian Yaowen had already pulled Su Lizhen back.

"William, you know very well the etiquette of us Easterners. When you see a goddess, you should kneel down and kowtow."

"Why do I have Eastern etiquette?" Chen William pretended to be dumbfounded.

"Because ladies come first."

William Chen said angrily: "Adam, I will get it back."

Xian Yaowen circled his right palm several times in mid-air in front of his chest, making a "please" gesture.

Seeing this, William Chen could only laugh helplessly and stopped worrying about the cheek-to-cheek gift.

Xian Yaowen gestured to Cheryl and said to William Chen: "Cheryl, my partner."

Hearing what Xian Yaowen said, William Chen stepped forward and shook hands with Cheryl solemnly, "Hello, Miss Cheryl, I am William Chen."

"Hello, Mr. William." Cheryl said calmly.

After a period of practice, Cheryl has been able to cope with normal social interactions and is no longer the little quail she was at the beginning.

After everyone had finished greetings, the group went upstairs to the Xinning Restaurant, ready to taste "Shanghai Western Food" - a fusion of English, French and Russian cuisine, modified by Shanghai chefs to suit Chinese tastes Western food.
