Chapter 498 Prelude



The warm-up for this autumn's new product launch conference had already begun. Almost right after the Chinese New Year, some people who had worked with Lu Chen knew that he was planning to make a big move in the fall.

At that time, everyone was very much looking forward to it, because facts have proved that the products produced by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the commercial street must be high-quality and will definitely lead the trend.

Lu Chen not only wants to make Da Qi the political and economic center of this continent, but also wants to make it a cultural and popular center.

In addition, a fleet had returned from Southeast Asia and South Asia some time ago, bringing back a lot of good things. Lu Chen felt that it was time to open the eyes of the people in this land and let them know how much wealth there is outside.

In order to facilitate this new product launch, the imperial court also opened the door very conveniently. During this period, many nobles applied to come to Da Qi, and the imperial court basically approved them all.

Of course, those who have visa-free status arrived at this place early.

During this period, the streets of the capital of Da Qi were full of nobles from other races, including mighty and strong men and charming girls.

Many people in Da Qi felt that their country had become stronger again. This must be the legendary tribute from all nations.

The people in the capital of Da Qi have reached a consensus regarding these foreign nobles.

People are here to consume and spend money, and they are very generous, so you must provide good service and not look down on them, at least not openly.

So the nobles who were a little nervous before coming here found that the people of Da Qi were extremely warm and friendly after arriving, and they immediately fell in love with this glamorous place.

The dazzling array of goods in the commercial street and the various luxurious services in the high-end clubs made these people linger.

The strong spending power of this group of people also astonished the tax officials in Da Qi.

According to conservative estimates, if orders from the new product launch conference meet expectations, then the tax revenue for this quarter could even account for half or even more of the annual tax revenue.

This is not only a carnival for the Ministry of Revenue, but also a carnival for the entire Da Qi. The Imperial College and the Hongwenguan have been extremely busy in the past two days, and the muscles on the faces of the main responsible persons are almost stiff from laughing.

Some of these nobles came here simply to consume, while others brought their own children with them, wanting them to stay here and learn more advanced culture.

Of course, cultural knowledge is definitely very expensive nowadays, so they are willing to spend more money.

The generosity of these people completely shattered the three views of officials of the Imperial College and the Hongwenguan.

Let’s put it this way, the tuition and miscellaneous fees paid by ten international students combined are enough to cover the annual expenses of the Imperial College and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Only at this time did people finally understand what Lu Chen had said before: education can indeed make money, and a lot of money.

At the same time, everyone also felt that Lu Chen was truly a man of high character. He didn't take such a good business, but instead left it to them and created such good conditions for them.

When some gentlemen were drunk and chatting in Qinlou and Chuguan, they couldn't help but praise him: "The Imperial Master is indeed inextricably linked to my Confucian lineage. If the relationship wasn't at least of a certain level, who would be willing to help me with this kind of favor?"

"I heard that the Imperial Master wanted to promote Confucianism abroad. Speaking of which, I feel ashamed. What the Imperial Master has done for Confucianism is far greater than anything we old bones can do."

"If one day the Imperial Master can truly spread my Confucianism throughout the world, there will definitely be a statue of the Imperial Master in the Confucius Temple."

In fact, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has a different opinion on this point. It’s okay for other departments, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences absolutely does not allow foreigners to come in to study.

Everyone knows that the reason why the Great Qi was able to revive was not due to the Confucianism that had been passed down for thousands of years, but the research within the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is the foundation of the Great Qi today.

Once these cash items are circulated, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Of course, these are things that men need to think about, and girls don’t need to think so much.

Yelu Wan'er has been active in the commercial street recently, and occasionally attends cocktail parties and poetry gatherings held by some girls from Da Qi. She really fell in love with this place.

Whether it is food, clothing or daily necessities, they are not comparable to those of Liao and Jin.

Compared with the girls in Da Qi, she felt that she had lived like a savage in the past.

Wash yourself clean every day, dress neatly, and spray some perfume on yourself. This is how a girl should live.

After getting up and washing up this morning, she went out.

The princess of Prince Duan's Mansion asked her to go shopping together today. She heard that the jewelry store on the commercial street had a batch of new goods, and there were also two clothing stores having big sales, not only with discounts on purchases over a certain amount, but also buy one get one free.

Yelu Wan'er knew very well that if she could not marry a member of the royal family of Da Qi, then after the autumn new product launch conference, she would have to go back with her family, back to that cold place where she didn't want to go out in the winter.

Without the elegant music, the gentle and refined young man, and the various fashionable and gorgeous clothes, Yelu Wan'er felt that she might not be able to survive.

So before leaving, she must buy more clothes so that she can last until next autumn. For this purpose, she has prepared several carriages.

"Sister, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for so long."

As soon as I got off the car, a gentle and elegant girl with a bright smile came to greet me. Her name was Huang Xiner, and I heard that she was the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The two met at a poetry reading, and then they got along more and more as they talked. They really felt that they had met too late, so they have been shopping together for a while.
