Zheng Quchi turned around and walked to the table, pulled out his first draft of the "Black Bear" design from the manuscript, and then turned to Zhang Qinan and handed it to him.
“Take a look,” she said.
Zhang Qinan reached out and took the paper with a puzzled look, then unfolded it and took a look...
His eyes widened. In all his life, this was the first time he had ever seen a design with such a strong, direct, and eye-catching composition.
At first glance, he was simply attracted by the lifelike 3D charcoal drawing on it. After the initial amazement, he realized that it was a car model.
He suppressed his excitement and carefully examined, tracing, exploring, understanding, and experiencing the details, until finally he understood.
"Is this the new car designed by the lady?" His voice suddenly rose two octaves.
Zheng Quchi nodded: "That's right. Young Master Zhang has traveled all over the country over the years, and I'm sure he's seen a lot of good things. What do you think of my new car?"
how?
He is an amateur, how could he possibly use such crude and simplistic language to evaluate the general's wife's new work?
"No, no, but if I may be so bold as to ask, are all the components and detailed descriptions on these drawings feasible?" Zhang Qinan asked in a trembling voice.
Zheng Quchi chuckled: "Of course, if it can't be done, wouldn't my car be useless?"
After a moment of stunned thought, Zhang Qinan slowly composed himself and cautiously asked, "Then may I ask, Madam, what would be the cost of building one of these cars?"
He's a businessman after all. While others only care about overcoming technical difficulties, he only needs to confirm that she can build it before he starts worrying about the cost.
But she had only just designed it and hadn't even estimated the price yet. Of course, her estimate would be inaccurate because she had absolutely no knowledge of the materials on the market.
Previously, when she was creating things, she would go to the mountains to cut down trees for the large items herself, and then purchase some small items for the rest, or she would just take advantage of public resources for free... But now that she wants to build a factory and produce cars in large quantities, she certainly can't do it like before.
“Well…” Zheng Quchi glanced at Aunt Mei, only to see her narrow her eyes and then give Zhang Qinan a meaningful look. Zheng Quchi immediately understood and said, “It’s still in the planning stages, and it hasn’t been decided who will be in charge of this yet…”
Zhang Qinan was immediately overjoyed: "So, Madam hasn't hired an accountant yet?"
Zheng Quchi thought to herself that she not only lacked an accountant, but also a knowledgeable errand runner who could handle documents. She only had a group of hardworking core members under her command, and was extremely lacking in shrewd and cunning people.
But she couldn't show her predicament, so she could only say the opposite: "It's not urgent."
No, she was in a hurry, but she didn't say it.
“If Madam trusts Qinan, why don’t I introduce you to an accountant?” Zhang Qinan said with a smile.
Zheng Quchi was dumbfounded.
Wait, isn't it him coming?
Zheng Quchi suddenly felt ashamed of her "wishful thinking." What was she thinking? As the young master of the Zhang family, she actually thought he could come and be her accountant. It was already rare enough that he was willing to recommend a talented person.
"You came to see me today to introduce me to an accountant?"
Zhang Qinan was caught off guard by her question, but he had a good composure and quickly composed himself, saying solemnly, "Of course not. Qinan actually wants to cooperate with Madam."
cooperate?
Zheng Quchi probably guessed the purpose of his trip, and she said frankly, "I already have someone to work with."
However, Zhang Qinan was not discouraged. He calmly asked, "I wonder what country they are from?"
He was certain it couldn't be someone from Ye, because even if he acted quickly, there was no way anyone could receive the news faster than him and get there first.
Apart from the invited merchants she met at the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild".
People from Ye Kingdom have never been popular, and very few are invited. Even if one or two are invited, they will definitely be eliminated by wealthy merchants from other countries when it comes to voting for "Spring Appreciation Coins" in the preliminary round.
What's the point of asking this?
Stealing business? That's completely unnecessary; she's already signed the contract.
"Madam," Zhang Qinan said earnestly, without saying anything else, "would you rather sell these fine cars to people from other countries than to the people of our Ye Kingdom?"
Zheng Quchi, of course, would not think that way: "Of course not. I will first supply the people of Ye, and then expand my business abroad."
"So, how does Madam plan to sell these cars domestically?" Zhang Qinan asked, then offered her a few options: "Will you hawk them, advertise them, or slowly build up your reputation before selling them to individual merchants who come to bid?"
That's a very good question.
But she can't answer that now.
To be honest, she hasn't thought about it yet. Her starting point for doing this job is to first solve the problem of food and clothing for everyone in their camp, then work hard to save money, and then consider these things after she has saved up some money.
But when Zhang Qinan came to her this time, she realized that she seemed to have underestimated her ability to start a car factory.
If all sorts of people come looking for her later, there will be opportunities, but also all sorts of troubles.
She seemed to understand what Zhang Qinan meant by those words.
She looked at Zhang Qinan. Aunt Mei said that the Zhang family was the most successful merchants in the south of Ye Kingdom. If he were to take over all her business negotiations in Ye Kingdom, it would indeed save her a lot of trouble and fill the gap in her knowledge of business.
She had already figured things out in her mind, but she didn't intend to speak first. She pretended to be confused and asked, "Then what does the young master think would be the best course of action?"
