The news that some nobles were fighting in the street over a set of novel jewelry quickly spread throughout the capital.
No matter they were nobles or common people, they were all very curious about what was so magical about this brand-new jewelry that was secretly released that caused the nobles who had seen and tasted it to fight over it.
Soon, rumors began to spread that the jewelry was made of gemstones from overseas.
It is said that the gem not only has a bright and attractive luster, but also has extremely high hardness. It will not be damaged even if it is cut by a knife or chopped by an axe, and can be stored for tens of millions of years.
Wearing such jewelry during a wedding can make the relationship between the couple last forever.
The most important thing is that this thing was brought back from overseas and the quantity is limited. You can't buy it just because you have money.
It is said that only thirty sets were prepared for this autumn press conference, and they might be gone in a short time.
At the same time, there will be other good things at the autumn press conference, and everyone in Beijing knows this.
Because as early as a month or two ago, Lu Chen had already released this news through the newspaper.
So the people of the entire capital city had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and the scene was really a scene of loud gongs, drums and firecrackers.
The autumn press conference was not held in the commercial street, but in the former Nuanxiang Pavilion.
That place was burned down by a fire before. After Lu Chen took over, he rebuilt it. Now it has changed a lot.
The brick and tile building has a unique shape, and the circular auditorium structure allows people to stand inside and everyone can hear what he is saying clearly even without using a microphone.
The densely packed chandeliers above the head ensure that even when you are inside, even at night, it can be as bright as day.
Ding San was a little excited standing in the audience. Although he had rehearsed many times, he was about to officially go on stage. Looking at the dignitaries sitting in the audience, he was somewhat dazed.
In just a short period of time, he went from being a piece of trash that no one cared about to becoming a popular figure in the commercial street.
It is only because of the national master's appreciation that he can be responsible for such a big project.
Thinking of this, Ding San went to Lu Chen's box again and respectfully repeated today's procedures.
Lu Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Relax, I've seen the rehearsal before, you did very well, don't be nervous. These guys are just old-fashioned, even if we make any mistakes, they won't understand."
With Lu Chen's words, Ding San felt much more at ease.
Night fell quietly, and at eight o'clock in the evening, the highly anticipated press conference finally kicked off.
At this moment, the venue was packed with people, and every seat was occupied by people who were enthusiastically looking forward to this grand event.
They may be nobles, businessmen, or ordinary people who are curious and concerned about this release.
Not only was the venue packed with people, but even the outside was packed.
Many people who failed to get admission tickets gathered together and surrounded the entire venue tightly.
Some people stood on tiptoe, trying to peek inside through the windows or cracks in the doors, while others enthusiastically discussed various speculations and expectations about the press conference with strangers who were also anxiously waiting around them.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely hot, as if a grand carnival was about to take place.
The place was crowded and bustling with people, including many businessmen who were unable to obtain admission.
They all looked anxious and gathered around here tightly, as if they were afraid of missing any tiny details.
These businessmen knew that this event was of vital importance to them, so they were unwilling to miss even the slightest detail.
They opened their eyes wide, pricked up their ears, and paid close attention to the movements around them, eagerly hoping to obtain the latest and most accurate information as soon as possible so that they could seize the initiative in the fierce business competition.
The press conference officially began with a song and dance performance, a large-scale one at that. As a Chinese who had watched the Spring Festival Gala countless times, Lu Chen was no exception.
You know what, because there were no relevant departments involved, this song and dance performance was actually quite exciting.
To be honest, traveling from modern society to ancient times does not necessarily mean that everything is worse than modern society.
After the large-scale song and dance performance, Ding San came on stage, knocked on the table with the small wooden hammer in his hand, and began to explain some of the key products of this press conference.
The first thing that comes to mind is naturally the bright and dazzling gems imported from overseas.
Originally, Lu Chen's order to the fleet was to just reach India, but the leader was so stubborn that he ran all the way to Sri Lanka in later generations.
On the way back and forth, I made a lot of money from gems and ivory.
It is said that things are valuable because they are rare, and the Central Plains region is in dire need of these things.
Then Lu Chen, who has a good economic sense, certainly cannot sell the raw materials directly. After these things come back, they are transformed into more gorgeous ornaments and decorations by the skilled craftsmen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Ding Sangeng pointed to a half-meter-long tusk and said, "There are three pieces of ivory like this. The longest one has already been delivered to the palace. As for the remaining two, you can bid on them later."
A group of foreign nobles looked at the two ivory tusks and the intricate and exquisite carvings on them with their eyes almost falling out.
Since there are only three of them in the world, one of which has been collected by the Emperor of Da Qi, then the remaining two must be given to the king of Western Xia or Liao and Jin at all costs.
Anyone who can buy this thing now and send it back will definitely win the favor of Li Yingxiao or Yelu Song, and his future will be limitless.
"Also, this time we will be launching a brand new perfume series, the series name is Dreamlike!"
"This perfume is added with special spices brought back from overseas, which will definitely give you a different experience."
"By the way, our fleet has brought back a large amount of spices. Those interested can participate in the auction we will hold later. The purchase amount is 100 kilograms at a time."
That night, the endless supply of good things dazzled everyone's eyes, and also made people realize that there was such huge wealth overseas.
When the news spread, the enthusiasm of the three countries for overseas exploration was completely aroused.
If it was an official plan before, now many people from the public have joined in.
Regarding whether to cooperate, Lu Chen expressed welcome.
The overseas world is huge, and Da Qi cannot take it all in. Now we have to race against time and try to control the entire world before those Western bastards.
As for whether Xixia, Liao and Jin would turn against Da Qi after gaining benefits, Lu Chen felt that this situation was impossible.
As long as they can firmly grasp the navigation technology in their hands, in a few decades, or three to five generations, everyone will be a member of the Chinese nation, right?
