In the East Palace, Fang Zhengyi leaned against the pavilion, enjoying his snacks.
Li Yuanzhao paced back and forth anxiously.
"Old Fang, it's been more than ten days. Why aren't you anxious? I heard that the Ministry of Industry has already sold a batch of porcelain and made a few thousand taels."
"What about you? You come to my place to eat and drink all day long, or go to the newspaper office or Jinyiwei to eat and drink. Can you do something serious?"
Fang Zhengyi ate the remaining half of the dessert in his hand and sighed, "Your Highness, don't be impatient. If you are impatient, you will lose."
"Bicycles are not like the Ministry of Revenue's porcelain. They can only sell those to rich people."
"What about us? We are selling to ordinary people, so we have to prepare the stock! In the past ten days, Tianchen has had people recruit a large number of people in the capital, and has been stepping up production. When the stock is sufficient in a few days, we can take it out and sell it."
“Are you sure you can sell it?”
"Are you sure? I'm sure we don't have enough goods to buy, so we'll have to resort to some hunger marketing! If we want to win this game, we can't just rely on the money from selling goods. If we don't have time to produce the goods, we have to rely on the deposit to win safely."
"Then how can you be sure that people will buy it, and there won't be enough goods to sell?" Li Yuanzhao asked, and then guessed: "Could it be that you use newspapers to advertise? But according to my experience, although advertising is strong, I'm afraid that it will take more than a month and a half to popularize it!"
Fang Zheng smiled and took out a piece of letter from his sleeve: "Your Highness, take a look at what this is?"
Li Yuanzhao took the letter and saw a list of names with addresses inside. He asked in confusion, "List, what is this list about?"
"They are all people in the city who are getting married in the next few days. It's not comprehensive, but there are at least a hundred of them."
"So you want to sell the bicycles to them at a low price as a way to promote your product?" Li Yuanzhao suddenly realized.
"Smart! But it's not selling, it's giving." Fang Zheng stood up and stretched lazily: "There are three things in folk marriage: blowing trumpets, riding in a sedan chair, and throwing candies. I think we should add a bicycle to it, then it will be perfect!"
Li Yuanzhao was stunned, thinking carefully for a long time before saying: "Hmm... I'm afraid it's not that simple. I don't think it's safe."
"Your Highness is wise, but don't forget, we still have a strongest propaganda force!"
"What?"
"Hey! Here he comes! Speak of the devil, he appears!" Fang Zhengyi said suddenly.
Li Yuanzhao didn't have time to think about who Cao Cao was, and looked up.
I saw Liu Jinzheng leading a person towards this side.
"Meng Weimin? Do you want Jinyiwei to publicize it?...Oh! That's right! Jinyiwei's supporters are like crazy. We are sure to win this time!" Li Yuanzhao's eyes suddenly burst into surprise.
I actually forgot about this powerful weapon!
Meng Weimin hadn't been seen for many days and looked a little listless.
He knelt down in front of Li Yuanzhao trembling with fear and whispered, "I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Fang."
"Get up."
Fang Zheng looked at him and said, "Xiao Meng, you haven't been in a good state recently. How are you? I can help you solve any problems in your life. I heard that you have been doing well recently."
Meng Weimin curled his lips: "No...no problem."
"Speak! Don't hide it here. There will inevitably be a barrier in your heart. The Royal Guard is a big family with love."
When Meng Weimin heard about the loving big family, tears suddenly flowed down his face.
She fell to her knees, hugged Fang Zheng's thigh and sobbed, "Master Fang, I don't want to be with Ruyun anymore. Please give me someone else!"
Fang Zheng's face gradually turned cold: "Think it over before you talk to me."
Meng Weimin's eyes were blurry with tears: "Please spare me, sir. She forces me to drink medicinal wine every day... three times a day... Now I only have water."
Li Yuanzhao shuddered violently and looked at Fang Zhengyi: "Old Fang, you are too inhumane."
"I don't know? Why should I care about what happens in someone's boudoir?" Fang Zheng shuddered.
Although Meng Weimin has a good physique, he still consumes a lot of physical energy from working and training during the day.
I didn't expect to suffer such inhumane abuse when I returned home.
Meng Weimin raised his head with tears in his eyes: "Sir... I dare not resist her. Qian Desheng has been staring at me."
"It's okay to have a child. Ultimately, it's your problem. You should reflect on why there is only Qingshui." Fang Zhengyi gently lifted him up.
"Don't complain. You are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. I wonder how many people out there envy you?"
"Yeah." Meng Weimin pursed his lips aggrievedly, wiped his tears and dared not complain any more.
"Okay, you should solve your own family affairs yourself. As a gentleman, can I stump you three times a day? What kind of gentleman are you?"
"I came to you this time to ask you how your bicycle training is going. Do you and the others know how to ride?"
Meng Weimin sniffed his nose and said, "I know how to do it. I know how to do it on the first day. The captain also comes to check on us regularly."
"Very good. In two days you will not be able to go out on errands on horseback. You will all have to change to bicycles. Remember to ring the bells frequently when you are on the street to avoid bumping into passers-by."
"And your fans will definitely ask you what you ride. What are you going to say then?"
Meng Weimin thought for a moment and said, "The bicycles produced in Taoyuan County are all used by the Jinyiwei. Thanks to the fans' support, I have prepared a thousand brand new genuine Taoyuan County bicycles for my family. They are available in Taoyuan County stores. The stock is limited, so hurry up and grab them."
"Idiot! You just memorized the template I gave you? Be more flexible when the time comes!" Fang Zheng scolded, "And I want you to go back and tell others to speak as naturally as possible and get closer to the people. Do you understand?"
"Uh...I understand, Lord Fang." Meng Weimin stammered with his head down.
"Very good. Also, starting the day after tomorrow, have you received the list of people in the city who are going to get married?"
"Got it." Meng Weimin replied.
"Well, you can go in person to congratulate them and give them a bicycle. Remember to be sincere and not pretentious. Then the reporters will write about you."
"Also, I will arrange for someone to give you a gift on the spot... What is that porcelain from the Ministry of Industry called?"
"It's called Yuguangci!" Li Yuanzhao reminded.
"Oh, yes! Yuguangci, what will you say when someone gives you a gift?" Fang Zheng asked.
Meng Weimin replied: "This piece of porcelain takes too much work and can only be used for viewing but has no other use. Yuguang porcelain is indeed a thing of extravagance and debauchery, not the way of a gentleman. I dare not accept this generous gift."
"Hmm! The lines are a bit stiff. Let's go back and find a few reporters to revise them."
Li Yuanzhao was stunned: "Mr. Fang, you are selling things and you still want to slander others?"
"What do you mean by slander? This is a business war! Business is like a battlefield, and our competitors are all garbage! What's wrong with me telling you a few truths?" Fang Zheng cried out in grievance.
Then he continued, "Xiao Meng, you've worked hard during this period. You have to run more, and I will ask Ruyun to treat you better, understand?"
Meng Weimin raised his head, and was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you for your cultivation! I will definitely live up to your mission!"
