Chapter 220 Loss of Welfare
Xia Xiaoxiang said, "Look at the butt-kicking techniques he wrote, the packaging, the style, the layout, the wording—everything is designed to serve the target customers, to convince them that his product has a bright future."
"What if the client was a woman? What if the product he was selling was himself? Isn't this a typical tactic used by a seasoned womanizer to defraud young girls? He simply adapted his experience and used it to sell a product. Even a love guru like me is amazed. How could a fresh-faced Aries like you be fooled?"
Qin Luoshuang shook her head.
"He had many opportunities to win my favor, but he didn't."
Xia Xiaoxiang jumped up and looked at her in surprise.
"The sun rises from the west? He really dares to pursue you? Isn't he afraid of being kicked by you and unable to take care of himself?"
Thinking of the battle with the Sano mercenaries in the wilderness, Qin Luoshuang showed an inexplicable smile. She briefly told Xia Xiaoxiang what had happened.
After hearing this, Xia Xiaoxiang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh no! This person has a quirk. He wants you to call him..."
"Shut up!"
Qin Luoshuang's face flushed red, and she regretted telling her the details.
"He's just a male chauvinist! How come you say he's so disgusting!"
Xia Xiaoxiang said earnestly, "Qin, you don't understand. High-end hunters often appear as prey... I absolutely do not agree to your marriage."
"Who said I was going to marry him?"
"Anyway, I have to take action. I must expose his true face and show you what kind of person he is!"
Qin Luoshuang was too lazy to pay attention to her. Instead, Xia Xiaoxiang came closer and started to linger beside her again, sighing:
"Qin, how great it would be if you were a man? I would have married you a long time ago, and I wouldn't be a pathetic, experienced old maid now."
Qin Luoshuang didn't even raise her head: "Go find Lin Wen."
"Is he okay?"
"OK."
"Have you tried it?"
Qin Luoshuang's face turned red, as if it was burning. "You little bitch, are you looking for a fight today?"
Xia Xiaoxiang jumped up, puffed out his chest and said, "Humph, Qin, I'm not afraid of you anymore. I've been using the Xia family's ancestral magic fist... Ouch!"
Before he could even finish the move, he was stepped on by Qin Luoshuang.
Xia Xiaoxiang said dejectedly, "Is the gap between us so huge?"
Qin Luoshuang returned to the table and handed her the organized PPT: "You can only beat ordinary people at best."
"It doesn't matter." Xia Xiaoxiang took the information and laughed again: "As long as I can beat Lin Wen, it's fine. Sometimes coercion is also a part of love."
Qin Luoshuang glanced at her with squinted eyes: "I can't even beat him. If he wants to deal with you, one finger is enough."
"Impossible! You're lying, I don't believe you."
"never mind."
Qin Luoshuang sighed and stopped trying to persuade her.
"Just think of it as giving him some benefits, but don't play with other people's feelings, okay?"
Xia Xiaoxiang pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "I never play with other people's feelings. They are just too deeply involved and can't get out."
Qin Luoshuang glared at her: "You told Yun Zhixing that you loved him."
"I didn't say I loved him."
"But you later said that you still had him in your heart."
"I didn't say he's the only one in my heart."
Qin Luoshuang covered her forehead and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I've been worrying about this for nothing. Doesn't it hurt when you hit the wall last time? That guy just said you weren't worthy."
"Impossible! Summer Flower won't fail a second time! I bet you that!"
Qin Luoshuang glanced at her and asked, "When are you going to run naked on the street?"
Xia Xiaoxiang shrank her neck and ran away with a giggle. Although she was shameless, she could not do such a thing.
The key point is that none of them thought that he could actually sink a fleet of the Imperial Navy.
The Empire announced that the ship was sunk by a surprise attack by a submarine of the Papal States. A submarine fleet of the Papal States immediately admitted it publicly and was received and commended by the chief priest of the Burning Heaven Sect.
The chief high priest of the Burning Heaven Cult, Dardas Mozi, is the supreme leader of the Papal States. The Pope refers to the main god of the Burning Heaven Cult, Luo Hemo Jingtian, who is the god of creation among the three main gods.
The chief high priest is the servant of God's servants, the mortal closest to God. His duty is to herd the livestock in the Papal States, so he is the actual leader of the Papal States.
The nominal leader of the Papal States is the man who plays the Pope. When the Empire captured the capital of the Papal States twenty years ago, it made this man who played God kneel publicly before the general leading the army, thus forming a feud between the two countries.
Later, when the general was about to continue south, he was successfully framed by the Council and the Supreme Elders Council recalled him to the country. After a series of attacks, he eventually died in the Council's prison.
This general is Li Lie, the Northern Heavenly King, who once overshadowed Sheng Huaixuan, the Southern Heavenly King. He was one of the two most dazzling stars in the empire thirty years ago and was once hailed as the hope of the empire.
Now, one of the two stars has gone out and the other has dimmed.
And the new imperial binary stars are far less bright than before.
——
No one expected this result.
At that time, Qin Luoshuang and Xia Xiaoxiang inferred that Lin Wen must have learned about the Papal State's submarine fleet from some channel, and it was even possible that he was the one who passed the fleet's heading coordinates over.
After Yun Zhixing came back, this inference became more credible.
The naval fleet suddenly gave up the encirclement and returned home. They must have discovered the enemy's submarine attack, but they were unable to escape the pursuit and were sunk on the high seas.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was the truth of the matter. They decided to keep their mouths shut and never reveal a single word to anyone.
This is treason, and nothing can protect it.
Qin Luoshuang also went to clean up any clues and traces that might arouse suspicion.
Sure enough, not long after the incident, the navy suddenly found an excuse to seize the cruise ship, but the lease period had expired, and the cruise ship had been returned to Changrong Shipping Company and docked in the dock.
Yun Zhixing and others had already returned to Changshan County from land with the money.
…
Xia Xiaoxiang's PPT will be very successful. Representatives from the six parties all said that if there really is a tool with the data she described, they can offer a very high price.
Under Xia Xiaoxiang's persuasion, they bid for the list of knives on the spot.
A Feijian brand turning tool is priced at 1 million yuan, a milling cutter is priced at 1.2 million yuan, and planers, drills, and boring tools are all priced at a high of 1.5 million yuan. Representatives from the six parties all hope to purchase at least 100 of each type.
Of course, the prerequisite is to pass their verification and confirm that its performance has achieved the effect described in the PPT, and the minimum lifespan has reached the expected 16 hours.
The six parties also proposed that if she could start supplying within half a month, they would pay an additional 10% premium.
This price made Xia Xiaoxiang, who was used to seeing huge amounts of money, light up. She had never expected the other party to offer such a high price.
You have to know that the most expensive knife in the past was only 80,000 yuan. That idiot gave these data, and for some reason, these people were obsessed with it.
As soon as she made a boast, they would raise the price wildly, as if they were afraid that the product would be out of stock if they were late.
When they finally reached an agreement, the price was ridiculously high, but they still felt it was worth it.
Qin Luoshuang, who was very familiar with the high-precision mechanical processing industry, knew how much the empire wanted a good knife. The empire's Mechanical Research Institute had gone through untold hardships to develop high-precision CNC machine tools, but in the end, the requirements could not be met due to the lack of suitable cutting tools. The power of many planned weapons was greatly reduced, and some new aircraft could not even be tested because the parts did not meet the precision standards.
Therefore, it is not surprising that when these representatives saw these knives, they felt like they had seen the goddess of their dreams. After being coaxed by Xia Xiaoxiang, it was as if the goddess they had been pursuing for more than ten years finally sent them a message, "See you tonight at Haitian Hotel."
That feeling is not something normal people can understand.
At present, Changshan County’s financial account balance is only over 200 million yuan, and there is still 1.5 billion yuan off the books. The gold money Xiao Xiao brought back cannot be recorded in the accounts and can only be deposited into the small treasury.
Qin Luoshuang hoped that Lin Wen would personally take charge of the treasury, but Lin Wen's reply was simply the classic: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
Xia Xiaoxiang laughed for many days because of this. This was the betrothal gift given to her by County Chief Lin. She also said that they now had all the power in their hands. As long as she could persuade Fang Dashan to rebel, they could overthrow County Chief Lin in minutes.
Qin Luoshuang's response was: "If you just keep your promise and run around naked on the streets for a week, I will join forces with you to overthrow Lin Wen and make you the county governor."
Xia Xiaoxiang hesitated for a while, but finally gave up this somewhat tempting suggestion.
"Hmph." She put her hands on her slender waist and sneered, "The only ones who can see me running naked are you and your future husband."
