The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.

On the first day Xu Yu came to Haicheng, Liu Fengjuan showed her her connections here.

The next day, they went to the factory that Liu Fengjuan had found.

This was originally a factory area, and across the street was an industrial park under construction. The industrial park was specially planned and built to attract foreign-funded enterprises.

So the factory address Liu Fengjuan found was particularly good.

"I've already secured the factory, and now I'm just waiting for the equipment. Last year, I visited several established beauty product factories in China and spoke with their leaders about purchasing these machines. Currently, there are very few of these machines produced in our country. I've already placed an order, and it should be delivered in early March."

"I calculated that we should first purchase five sets of equipment, each costing over 50,000 yuan. After the beauty products are developed, we will see how they perform in the market. If the results are good, we will purchase more equipment in the second half of the year."

Liu Fengjuan's words shocked Zhao Cui'e and Xie Lange, who had never seen so much money before, and their eyes widened in shock.

It also made them feel for the first time that the huge amount of money they thought they had earned was really not worth mentioning.

Xu Yu remained calm. After Liu Fengjuan finished speaking, he asked her, "Why don't you import equipment from abroad?"

Before Liu Fengjuan could speak, Liu Fengjie looked at her strangely, his tone rising: "Imported equipment is more than double the price of domestically produced equipment, and we can't just buy it whenever we want."

Liu Fengjuan also said: "Although the country has opened up to the outside world, it is still difficult to purchase foreign equipment, especially expensive pharmaceutical equipment like this. Foreign countries also have strict control. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it."

Hearing this, Zhao Cui'e and Xie Lange suddenly put away their shocked expressions, and thought with some pride in their hearts: The equipment in my sister/Xiao Yu's house is imported from abroad, so Liu Fengjuan is not as good as we imagined.

Liu Fengjuan and the others had no idea what people here were thinking. He Jingwen even deliberately said, "Even if it's domestic equipment, you can't just order it if you want. Especially when it comes to bank loans, most people can't get one."

Xu Yu just smiled and nodded, without showing any surprise as they wished.

This made Liu Fengjie and He Jingwen admire her calmness.

After touring the factory, as they were walking outside, Xu Yu asked Liu Fengjuan, "There should be good policies for renting a factory, right?"

Liu Fengjuan glanced at her and nodded: "Yes, the higher-ups encourage entrepreneurship and will waive rent for three years."

Xu Yu nodded: "Not bad."

Liu Fengjie couldn't figure out Xu Yu's thoughts. He always felt that this person was different from what they imagined. Feeling a little anxious, he said, "Although the rent is free, ordinary people can't rent a factory."

Xu Yu smiled and glanced at him.

When everyone walked to the parked car, Xu Yu said to Liu Fengjuan, "Let's find a place to discuss cooperation."

Liu Fengjuan nodded and said, "Let's go to a coffee shop. Several foreign coffee shops have opened in Haicheng recently. It's a good place for us to talk over coffee."

Xu Yu nodded: "Okay."

Coffee shops at this time are considered to be particularly rare places. Most of the people who come here to drink coffee are foreigners, and another small number are people who want to show off their taste.

There were few people in the cafe at this time.

There is a piano in the middle of the cafe, and a foreigner is playing the piano at this moment.

The guests drank their coffee quietly, and even when they spoke, they kept their voices low.

For first-time visitors, such an occasion would definitely make them feel awkward and overwhelmed.

Especially if a foreigner comes to say hello at this time, it will be a complete social disaster.

As expected, what you fear will come true.

Maybe it was because Xu Yu was too eye-catching. When they were led inside by the waiter, two foreigners, a man and a woman, stopped them.

The person who was speaking was a foreign woman. She looked at Xu Yu with a very enthusiastic expression and spoke very quickly. Liu Fengjuan and the other two had no intention of speaking.

Xie Lange was so confused by what she heard that she asked Zhao Cui'e in a low voice: "Sister Cui'e, did you understand what she said?"

Zhao Cui'e attended the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but she didn't learn English. She shook her head in embarrassment, "I didn't learn it in school."

"I haven't learned it either. What the hell is she talking about? It's all gibberish."

After the foreign woman finished speaking, Liu Fengjie deliberately asked Xu Yu: "Comrade Xu, do you know what this foreign friend is talking about?"

"If you don't know, I can help translate it."

Xu Yu did not answer him immediately, but looked at Qiao Yunping.

Qiao Yunping nodded at her, and then spoke to the foreign woman in fluent foreign language.

Xu Yu just listened quietly, his eyes lingering for a moment on the faces of Liu Fengjuan and the other two, who clearly had expressions of surprise on their faces.

After Qiao Yunping finished talking to the foreign woman, she translated, "This woman praised Xiaoyu for her beauty, saying she looked like a Barbie doll in a shop window."

Xu Yu smiled and said thank you to the foreign woman.

The foreign woman smiled and walked away with the foreign man.

After Xu Yu and the others sat down, Liu Fengjie asked, "Comrade Qiao speaks foreign languages ​​so well. He must have done a great job in the past."

Qiao Yunping said modestly, "More than a decade ago, my family worked at an international newspaper, so I started learning foreign languages."

"It's amazing! It's been all these years, and you still remember it so clearly."

Qiao Yunping smiled calmly.

The waiter brought them the coffee orders.

Liu Fengjuan asked Qiao Yunping to order.

Qiao Yunping asked Xu Yu what they wanted to drink, and Xu Yu said, "Just something not too bitter."

She actually doesn't like coffee very much.

Zhao Cui'e and Xie Lange also hurriedly said that they didn't want it to be too bitter. Although they had never drunk coffee, they had heard that coffee was bitter.

Qiao Yunping helped order the coffee here before handing the bill to Liu Fengjuan and the other two.

After everyone ordered their coffee, we got straight to the point.

Liu Fengjuan said, "I'm in charge of the factory machinery, staff, and sales. All you need to do is provide the beauty and whitening recipe. We'll split the profits proportionally: 20% for you and 80% for me. What do you think?"

As soon as Xu Yu said this, before she could even speak, Liu Fengjie immediately disagreed, "Sister, we've paid so much and invested so much, and Comrade Xu only needs to come up with the recipe. Isn't 20% too much?"

He Jingwen also explained to Xu Yu and the others how much they had invested upfront, and concluded, "Especially advertising, transportation, and finding a place to sell these beauty products. It sounds like we're getting 80% of the profits, but the actual profit we get is less than the 20% Comrade Xu got."

Xie Lange couldn't stand it any longer and was the first to retort, "We've been selling beauty products in our province for over half a year. We know the profits better than you do. And as for your question about advertising, we've already filmed the ads. We just need to get them on TV and in newspapers. You don't need to invest too much."

"Comrade Xie, that's easy to say. Getting an advertisement on TV and in newspapers isn't something you can do easily. It requires a lot of manpower and resources, especially if you want to run it during prime time. To keep the advertisement running, you also need to maintain interpersonal relationships, and all of that costs money."

"Do you want money?" Xie Lange looked at Xu Yu with confusion in her eyes.

The others also looked at Xu Yu.

Xu Yu curled his lips and said, "It shouldn't take much."

These words made Liu Fengjuan and the other two frown.

Liu Fengjie said, "You make it sound so easy, then you can do this part."

Xu Yu took a sip of his coffee before casually asking, "Is it better to advertise on CCTV or on a local station?"

Liu Fengjuan was also smart: "Can you advertise on CCTV?"

Liu Fengjie and He Jingwen both looked at her in disbelief.

Xu Yu nodded towards Qiao Yunping.

Qiao Yunping showed them the letter of recommendation signed by the National Television Headquarters.

The three of them looked at each other and their expressions instantly turned serious. Then they heard Liu Fengjuan say, "You take 30%, and we take 60."

Xu Yu shook his head: "I want 40%."

Liu Fengjuan frowned.

Liu Fengjie was so excited that he raised his voice in displeasure: "You only provided the formula, and you asked for 40%? Isn't this equivalent to us working for you for free, and you are the only one earning the money?"

He Jingwen was also excited: "Comrade Xu, I don't think you are sincere in cooperating with us?"
