Chapter 479 Shanghai World

As soon as Lin Xia said this, before she could agree, her mother pulled her back and said, "Xiao Jie, what are you talking about?"

The woman looked at Lin Xia apologetically, "I'm sorry! Just treat her as nonsense!"

Lin Xia guessed that this girl must come from a well-off family and her parents must have a good relationship, otherwise how could she be so courageous.

The girl was a little unhappy to be stopped, and pouted her lips and said, "I'm not talking nonsense! This sister is so pretty, she looks like a good person! She will definitely not lie to me."

When the woman heard this, she was confused and blamed herself for raising her child to be too naive. The child was about to get married, but was still so naive and brave. Fortunately, the family she was marrying knew her background well, otherwise she would have been worried to death.

Lin Xia was praised as a good person for no apparent reason. Although this girl looked naive and reckless, Lin Xia felt that she might be smart and witty.

"You can leave me your address and I'll send it to you when the time comes." Lin Xia thought about it and decided to just do a good deed.

When the girl saw Lin Xia agreed, she was immediately overjoyed, "Sister, I will write it to you right away." After she said that, she realized that she had no paper or pen.

Lin Xia took out a small notebook and a pen from her bag and gave it to her, "Use this to write!"

The girl was surprised for a second, then took the paper and started writing quickly.

"Sister, can I send you the money when the time comes?" After the girl finished writing, she looked at Lin Xia with her big eyes again.

An address is required to transfer money, so Lin Xia's address was exchanged with her. Unless you just write a random address, you don't have to worry about the other party defaulting on the payment.

Lin Xia smiled, wrote down the address and tore it off for her.

The woman could only watch her daughter exchange addresses with a stranger, not knowing whether the other party was a scammer.

Then Lin Xia started chatting with the two of them. When she learned that Lin Xia was here to attend the trade fair, the girl was stunned for a few seconds: "What a coincidence!"

It was their turn to go in. The person standing at the door was shouting, and Lin Xia didn't hear what the other person was saying for a moment.

"It's our turn to go in." Lin Xia said goodbye to the mother and daughter with a smile. She wanted to go for a walk by herself.

It is called a store, but in fact the layout inside is the same as that of a shopping mall, a bit like the storefronts of later generations. After shopping in one store, you have to walk out and go to another one.

Lin Xia strolled around with great interest. It was indeed the most fashionable big city. The shops inside had a wide range of products. The most interesting one was a "Four Phases" store, which sold all kinds of products for women during menstruation, pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding.

Lin Xia couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the people at that time. If they put some baby products here, it would be a maternity and baby store in later generations.

What interested Lin Xia the most was the cosmetics counter. There were many women standing here, including the mother and daughter she had just met.

As soon as Lin Xia walked in, she heard the teller say to the two of them, "Whose daughter doesn't buy a set of Lumei for her wedding? Look how grand this set is in your home!"

There were people discussing the matter nearby. Lin Xia was also very curious about what this Lumi that one had to buy for a wedding was. Was it more standard than the other three items?

“This set is too expensive!”

"It's a bit expensive. It costs more than a month's salary! But you can't get married without this thing!"

"If you don't want to buy it, you can borrow it from someone and return it after you get married!"

"Who are you looking down on? Who said you can't afford it?" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over and saw the other person blushing.

Lin Xia retracted her ears and observed the things placed in the glass cabinet. The densely packed pile looked very spectacular.

Could the teller have said so many things? Lin Xia was stunned. She counted them carefully and found that there were exactly seventeen items.

There were several people gathered around the counter, and the teller was introducing what the seventeen items were, including skin care products, cosmetics, perfumes and the like.

Lin Xia had only one thought after listening to it. There is no shortage of sophisticated people in any era! There is even perfume! Compared with this, her daily chemical factory is really simple!

Lin Xia observed for a long time from the side. You know what, a set of Lumei cosmetics costs more than 70 yuan, and there are actually people willing to buy it.

Lin Xia also bought a set, and just after paying the bill, she saw the girl Xiao Jie.

"Sister, are you getting married too?" Xiao Jie was surprised to see Lin Xia carrying a set of Lumei, and then she looked like she was blessing her.

Lin Xia laughed and explained, "I've been married for a long time. This looks pretty good, so I bought it as a gift."

In fact, she bought it back to study it. She wanted to see what the quality of cosmetics was like at that time. After all, it was a product from Shanghai, and it was very impressive in the eyes of people all over the country.

Xiao Jie apologized embarrassedly after hearing this, and Lin Xia said goodbye to her and left.

The next day, Lin Xia and Song Maoxue went to the trade fair together, and they looked for the machines they needed.

"Mr. Lin, this is it!" Song Maoxue walked closer, looked at it, and whispered in Lin Xia's ear.

Lin Xia doesn't know much about machines and can only rely on Song Maoxue's judgment.

When the people at the booth saw Lin Xia and her friend coming closer to look, they immediately came forward to introduce themselves to the booth. Their enthusiasm made Lin Xia notice that there was no one else at the booth except them.

"This machine imitates an imported model, right?" Song Maoxue spoke first, and his words shocked the other party.

Maybe I didn't expect Song Maoxue to know this. I wanted to praise their new machine, but I didn't expect to meet someone who knew about it, so I could only introduce it honestly.

After listening to the functions, Song Maoxue nodded to Lin Xia. Lin Xia received the signal and asked, "How much is this machine?"

The other party probably didn't expect that they would actually like it. When Lin Xia asked about the price, he was stunned and said, "Wait a minute, our director will come. I'll ask him and find out."

Lin Xia: "We don't have much time, can you go and ask now?"

There was only one person from the other party at the booth, and the director was not there at all.

The other party nodded hurriedly: "Then wait a minute, I'll go ask now."

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows and watched the other person say a few words to the person next door, then quickly walked away.

"Mr. Lin, this machine must be a new one they produced. It is very similar to foreign models. They must have bought imported machines." Song Maoxue was very sure. He had seen this machine in professional books.

Lin Xia immediately understood. The other party brought this machine to the trade fair, obviously wanting to sell it. What kind of machine needs to be promoted like this?

That must be a new machine with little market. At that time, Chinese people loved to be conservative and were reluctant to replace things even when they were broken. As a result, a few years later, large numbers of state-owned factories went bankrupt due to poor management. Many of the reasons were because they were conservative and could not keep up with the times.

But for Lin Xia, this was a good opportunity.

So exquisite...
