"You...you are the designer of the cargo ship conversion project at Yanshen Shipbuilding Company?"

Roth's tone was almost certain, his pupils dilated.

He had his doubts, but the woolen model was right in front of him.

Lu Yunshen: "That's right, she's the designer of the renovation."

Jason gasped and quickly told his assistant to go out and lock the door to the outer office.

This is Maiwei. If the news gets out...

Jason didn't dare to think about it and regretted not inviting them to his studio.

“How is this possible…” Roth’s voice trembled slightly, finding it hard to believe.

He had tried to simulate and modify it using models, but all attempts failed.

Maiwei's designer even claimed that only the original designer could modify that model of cargo ship.

After Yan Shen's modified ship was revealed, Maiwei stopped promoting it in that direction.

Jason's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Lin Ziyan and asked, "Do you want to participate in this international ship design competition?"

"Not only are the prizes generous, but you also have the opportunity to compete fairly with ship design masters from all over the world."

Lin Ziyan pursed her lips slightly, not answering immediately.

It wasn't that she didn't want to, but rather that she wasn't clear about her own abilities.

After all, her original competition entry hadn't even been decided yet when she was reborn into this era.

…

On the other side

A guest arrived at the Lin family's villa.

When Lin Jun returned home, he saw the housekeeper waiting anxiously at the door and asked suspiciously,

"What happened?"

The housekeeper said, "Someone is looking for Miss Lin, and they're quite influential."

"Who is it?" Lin Jun took off his backpack and walked into the lobby.

“The heir to the T Group,” the butler replied.

This group is no ordinary entity; it is the German jewelry tycoon.

From high-end to affordable, it covers almost all types of jewelry, for both men and women.

Lin Jun paused in his tracks. When did his aunt get to know such an important person?

He strode inside, his expression indifferent.

"Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry for your intrusion," the man said with a faint smile.

"Edward, you're too kind." Lin Shaowen's eyes were deep and unreadable.

Lin Jun walked into the hall and then remembered that the internal sales area had a record of students' rental information for the day.

Edward must have found his way here by following the information.

But did he come here for those handicrafts?

"Lin Jun, please greet Mr. Edward. I'm going to make a call to Ziyan." Lin Shaowen stood up, smiled, and nodded to Edward.

The Lin family's hall was very large, with many sets of sofas. Lin Jun sat directly opposite Edward.

"Mr. Edward, are you interested in my cousin's handicrafts?" Lin Jun asked directly.

If it's a handicraft, Edward might be disappointed; his aunt doesn't intend to pursue that path.

T Group's high-end jewelry is not currently suitable for setting up counters in China.

As for affordable jewelry, the cost of shipping it from here to China is too high, making it even more impossible.

“No,” Edward replied with a faint smile.

He recalled the figures in the painting, and his eyes flickered slightly.

If the figures in that painting were made into jewelry, it would definitely create a new jewelry line.

Modern jewelry is too similar and lacks any unique features.

The designers at T Group are currently experiencing a creative block. If they can incorporate elements from this painting, they will be able to break through this block.

Edward wasn't in a hurry; he leisurely sipped his coffee and waited.

He even picked up the newspaper on the table and started flipping through it.

The group waited for almost an hour before Lin Ziyan returned to the villa.

Lu Yunshen saw her to the door and then left, as he had to rush to the Herbert Group to discuss cooperation.

Before Lin Ziyan even entered the living room, she saw the housekeeper waiting outside.

She listened briefly to the housekeeper's description of the guests.

T Group?

This is a group that specializes in jewelry.

Edward saw Lin Ziyan walk in and subtly sized her up.

"Hello, I am Lin Ziyan."

"Hello, I am Edward, Product Director of T Group."

After introducing themselves, the two sat down to talk.

Lin Jun sat to the side, listening quietly to their conversation, his fingers lightly tapping the sofa armrest.

"You mean you want to buy the copyright to the elements of this painting?" Lin Ziyan asked after he briefly explained his purpose.

“That’s right.” Edward nodded with a faint smile and continued.

"You can name your conditions, and we will try our best to meet them."

Lin Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly; this was not what she had expected.

How could T Group easily allow the other party in negotiations to arbitrarily dictate terms?

What she didn't know was that Lin Shaowen had a great influence in Germany, and his wealth was approaching that of Germany's richest man.

Edward assumed she wasn't short of money and was only talking to her because he was afraid she wouldn't want to sell.

Lin Ziyan was unaware of his thoughts and pursed her lips in deep thought.

"Mr. Edward, aren't you afraid I'll ask for an exorbitant price?" she suddenly asked, as if something had just occurred to her.

“Then I’ll have to regretfully give up,” Edward said jokingly.

Actually, he felt that the girl in front of him was not like that; her eyes were clear and bright.

Lin Ziyan said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go upstairs to get something."

She got up and hurried upstairs, then quickly ran back down.

Lin Ziyan was holding a picture book with chibi-style characters that Edward wanted.

This is a series with various types, and it is based on Jiaojiao's expression.

"Take a look at this picture book, and then look at the conditions I've proposed." Lin Ziyan handed him the book and the agreement she had prepared beforehand.

If T Group can open a jewelry factory in Fuzhou, it will not only reduce the cost of shipping their jewelry to Southeast Asian countries, but also break through the group's sales bottleneck.

Design bottlenecks and sales volume occurred simultaneously; otherwise, they wouldn't have realized there was no breakthrough in design.

Lin Ziyan had just realized that T Group must have already realized its design bottleneck at this point.

Edward is the heir to the T Group, and starting as a product director is definitely a test for him from the group.

"This... build a factory in Fuzhou?" Edward's eyes dimmed slightly.

He was even more excited after looking at the picture book, but the condition was like a bucket of cold water poured on him.

The group's affordable jewelry market is now being squeezed out by another jewelry company.

The group urgently needs product breakthroughs to increase its market share.

Lin Ziyan saw his concerns and continued to persuade him, "Mr. Edward, you will have to take this step sooner or later, this is just a matter of bringing it forward."

Design and sales have always been linked, and I'm sure you know that better than I do.

Your overseas orders are mainly in Asia, and setting up a factory in one of the Asian countries should also be part of your group's plans.

Lin Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

T Group's overseas orders are indeed concentrated in Asian countries.

Edward was tempted, but didn't immediately agree.

"I'll think about it for a few more days," he said regretfully.

Lin Ziyan did not continue to persuade him, nodded to him, and got up to see him out.

T Group's competitors will likely be coming after them soon.

At this moment, it wasn't her who was in a hurry.
