Chapter 228 The Canton Fair is Here!
Lin Shanshan had been busy all afternoon and was just about to rest when Gu Yiye came to pick her up.
A handsome, rugged man holds a bouquet of sunflowers, standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, welcoming his lover.
"Shanshan, do you like it?" Gu Yiye placed the flowers in his wife's arms.
"I like it." The sunflower was large, and its golden petals were rendered like an oil painting by the setting sun.
"Why did you bring sunflowers? You always bring lilies home before."
Gu Yiye said, "Because I know the meaning of sunflowers."
After Gu Yiye helped Lin Shanshan into the car, he climbed into the driver's seat, looked into Lin Shanshan's eyes, and said tenderly, "I will always belong to you."
Don't doubt my love for you; what belongs to you, I will not share with anyone else.
There's no one else around, you're everywhere I look!
Lin Shanshan felt a sweet warmth in her heart; this man was becoming more and more romantic. Between husband and wife, besides physical intimacy, sometimes expressing deep affection verbally is also a good way to enhance their relationship.
"Honey, have you missed me?" After a whole day, 36,520 seconds without seeing each other, Gu Yiye enveloped Lin Shanshan and fastened her seatbelt.
Looking at her increasingly radiant face, I couldn't help but give her a kiss.
My wife is so beautiful, even when she's pregnant.
Lin Shanshan's heart pounded. For so long, every time Gu Yiye suddenly kissed her, she would blush with shyness.
"Yes," Lin Shanshan said honestly.
Gu Yiye raised the corners of his mouth and drove off.
Place sunflowers in a white porcelain vase by the window. A gentle breeze blows, and the white gauze inside the curtains flutters lightly, caressing the golden sunflowers. The scene is fresh and healing.
Another good night's sleep.
"Principal Lin, the factory is working overtime and has already produced several hundred robot vacuum cleaners. When would you like to take us to Huacheng?"
Yang Qiwen asked, "The initial idea for the robot vacuum cleaner was his, but I'm more interested in seeing if my invention has a market."
Today is October 31st, which is the time spent on the road. We can set off tomorrow.
Lin Shanshan said, "Get ready, we're leaving tomorrow."
"Okay, Principal Lin." Yang Qiwen and Meng Zhengyang returned to their dormitory to pack their bags.
Li Duomei stayed behind and said, "Shanshan, Zhang Wei said he's coming with us. His dad asked him to check out the steel parts market. He's driving there. There are three of us from our school, plus him, making four of us in one car. He said he could take us with him."
Lin Shanshan smiled and said, "I specifically wanted to take you there and check out the market prices while I'm at it."
Li Duomei hurriedly waved her hand to deny it: "Really, no, I heard Uncle Zhang tell him to go to the Canton Fair with my own ears."
Lin Shanshan seized on the key point and asked, "You've met the parents? Is the wedding approaching?"
Li Duomei nodded shyly: "Yes, we plan to get married at the end of the year. But don't worry, Shanshan, Zhang Wei and I have already agreed that we'll consider having children after you finish your postpartum confinement."
That way, Lin Shanshan can focus on giving birth and recovering in peace. Li Duomei at school can keep an eye on things.
Lin Shanshan said, "It's okay. You're getting married at the end of the year, so you can have a baby if you want. I'll give birth around the Spring Festival, which is during winter break. It'll be fine to have a postpartum period during the holiday."
Li Duomei thought for a moment and nodded. Pregnancy is something that can't be forced; if she really got pregnant, she couldn't possibly not want it.
Huacheng is a coastal city, so the cost of living is not low. During the Canton Fair, there are many foreigners, so food and accommodation are expected to be more expensive than usual.
"Sister Duomei, come with me to the finance office. I'll have them give you 1,000 yuan, plus some meat coupons, grain coupons, and sugar coupons too, since you have low blood sugar."
"Shanshan, there's no need for so much," Li Duomei declined.
Lin Shanshan said, "It's better to be frugal on the road than to be poor. Bring more than you need and bring back any leftovers."
The 1970s were not as convenient as later years, when money could be transferred anytime, anywhere.
"By the way, we'll have to pay for Zhang Wei's car gas."
Regardless of whether Zhang Wei was giving them a ride or not, they would still have to pay to go to Huacheng even if they didn't take his car.
They went to the cafeteria to prepare some food for Li Duomei and the other two to take with them on the way.
Before setting off, Lin Shanshan gathered Yang Qiwen, Li Duomei, and Meng Zhengyang together to set a price for the robot vacuum cleaner.
Lin Shanshan calculated that the production cost of a robot vacuum cleaner is less than 50, so she priced it at 588.
Yang Qiwen was shocked: "Principal Lin, isn't this price too high?"
Lin Shanshan said, "It's not high. Our current target audience is customers in developed countries. 588 yuan is not much for them, and besides, our product is unique."
"This is a unique product. Besides its functionality, its biggest selling point is who can be the first to use it and who can buy it. Don't worry, at 588 yuan, they're buying a sense of prestige, which is a great deal."
"Once imitations come out, they won't sell for this much money. Let's make as much foreign exchange as possible while this is still in the early stages."
Lin Shanshan analyzed with a smile.
Meng Zhengyang spoke up: "Principal Lin is right. When I was studying abroad, some of my classmates from wealthy families would spend several hundred yuan on a single meal. They were not short of money."
Li Duomei added, "Yes, our Xinghuo brand robotic vacuum cleaner is positioned for the high-end market. We'll sell it to wealthy people first."
People with average financial means would definitely be reluctant to buy it. After all, it's not a necessity.
In order to promote the reputation of Xinghuo University of Science and Technology, Lin Shanshan also used Xinghuo brand for her robot vacuum cleaner.
Hopefully, their debut will be as amazing as a wildfire that ignites a prairie fire!
The next morning, after filling the trunk, Yang Qiwen filled the rest of the car with whatever space he could fit without compromising safe driving, eventually loading 23 robotic vacuum cleaners.
Three Spark team members, leading 23 robots, set off for Guangzhou and the Canton Fair.
Lin Shanshan got up early to see them off with Gu Yiye: "Have a safe journey, and we look forward to your triumphant return!"
Gu Yiye patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder: "Be careful on the road. When we get back, we'll have a good drink together."
Zhang Wei smiled and nodded: "I don't care about my own life. How could I not care about my future wife's life? Don't worry, I'll bring them back safely."
Zhang Wei, a former soldier, drives fast and steadily. He set off at 5 a.m. and arrived in Huacheng at 11 p.m. that night.
Huacheng and Haishi are not the same. Haishi is like an elegant woman with a hazy, dreamlike beauty, while Huacheng is more like a passionate young man, full of vigor and vitality.
Zhang Wei parked his car in front of the Huacheng Hotel, currently the tallest building in China.
"Get off the bus, we'll stay here tonight!"
