It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?
Chapter 520 [169] Who wrote the brochure?
Chapter 520 [169] Who wrote the brochure?
Lao Zhao, who always wears a black Chinese butler uniform, uses an old speaker prosthesis to replace his mouth, takes nutritional supplements and doesn't eat every day. He is discussing wiring issues with the workers.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the construction of the vertical farm of the Eco Tower currently relies entirely on Lao Zhao's personal skills. Qin Jiandan was very polite to Lao Zhao, and so were the Zhang brothers.
Lao Zhao is not only the CEO of the vertical farm, but also the nominal "Young Master's Advisor", who has the right to meet with the Young Master without reporting to him.
Qin Jiandan exchanged a few pleasantries with Lao Zhao and asked about the construction of the farm. Feng Jian, wearing a helmet, stood on the balance bike and bowed slightly: "Nice to meet you. I am the staff officer of the Falling Cherry Group and I am also the emergency treatment device for the young master."
Old Zhao frowned, but knowing that Feng Jian was pregnant, he didn't want to comment on her dirty jokes. Fortunately, the electronic sound of his speaker didn't show too much embarrassment:
"Staff Officer Fengjian is really funny. Although you and I both have the title of staff officer, I am busy building an ecological farm, so the young master will rely on you for advice."
After leaving Old Zhao, the Zhang brothers whispered to each other: "Zhao Shouyi is a guy who castrated himself for revenge and didn't eat for decades. This kind of ruthless person must not be offended..."
The singing of the electronic synthesizer Andy Lau continued, and after the volume was turned down, it was no longer harsh, filling the hall with a festive atmosphere.
Snowflakes covered the ground ~ Christmas songs rang out everywhere
Friends and family gather together to share love and sweetness
May every one of your dreams come true
Congratulations on your Christmas and long-lasting happiness
It was very similar to shopping malls on Earth, with shops on both sides of the hall, some ready to open, and some still vacant. The neon signs of the shops flickered, giving it a sense of technology yet also looked a bit shabby.
Feng Jian turned to Qin Jiandan on the balance bike and said, "It seems that after some merchants paid the move-in fee, they don't have much money left to decorate their stores."
Qin Jiandan stopped and asked, "What is the occupancy rate of the shops on the first floor now?"
Zhang Daju replied, "It used to be 20%. After the young master offered a discount of half a year's rent waiver, it has risen to 50%."
Qin Jiandan clicked his tongue and said, "It's not enough. Compared with economic benefits, the ecological tower has more important political significance. We might as well waive the rent for the first year and bring in more businesses. If that doesn't work, let relatives and friends come in and open shops."
There is a shop very close to the escalator in front (there is no elevator yet), which is "Lao Wang Fried Chicken No. 1 Store". The store is larger than the original store on the street. It has Qin Jiandan's investment and can be regarded as a "friends and relatives store".
The fried chicken shop across the street from the Night Dragon Club is now called the "Headquarters", and Lao Wang is still in charge there. The "Lao Wang Fried Chicken No. 1" in the Ecological Tower is run by Lao Wang's apprentice, the rat man A Ku, and the male lady Linda Lulu.
As the store was about to open, the three brothers were busy moving tables, chairs and boxes. On the back of their work clothes was a particularly eye-catching slogan: "If you don't work hard today, you will be a star slave tomorrow."
It seems that the three Jibao brothers still firmly believe in the legend of the Ainu village - that the will of the planet will capture those who are disobedient and make them slaves.
Qin Jiandan asked the guards to deliver Christmas gifts, including a grease-filtering placemat for Lao Wang, free meat coupons for the Jibao brothers' cafeteria, LED light-up hair accessories for Linda Lulu, and small clothes and aprons for A Ku.
"Master, you are so kind to us."
Linda Lulu, wearing traditional ethnic dress, put luminous hair accessories on her soft long hair, which complemented the LED light bracelet woven with cotton thread.
The three Jibao brothers fought each other for 15 free meat coupons. In the end, the number they took away offset the number they got, so each of them still had 5 coupons.
Ah Ku stood on Linda Lulu's shoulders and seemed to like the small clothes and apron given by the young master. She is now Lao Wang's adopted daughter, and she also expressed her gratitude for the grease filter placemat given by the young master to Lao Wang.
"Master Kazama," Aku greeted Kazama specially, "I heard that it was Master Kazama's idea to grow lemons in the vertical farm first. Now the first batch of lemons have matured and borne fruit. We use them to serve with fried chicken. The guests all say that it is higher quality than before and it doesn't taste greasy at all!"
The bespectacled Loli and the rat man Aku were talking face to face, which seemed like a fairy tale to outsiders. However, Fengjian's explanation did not have any fairy tale feeling at all:
"Lemons are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Even if customers don't eat the sliced lemons on the plate, they will receive psychological cues and associate them with the concepts of health and freshness, which will increase their favorability towards the dishes. In short, it is easier to cheat people out of money."
Loud laughter came from the Christmas gift shop next door. It was Uncle Gear practicing playing Santa Claus, and others were playing reindeer and elves.
Santa Claus’ red hat is very festive to wear, but the green hat of the Christmas elf is a bit difficult to wear. People who play the elves say “it costs extra money”.
Qin Jiandan went there to take a look and asked about the preparations.
There was a stack of brochures in the middle of the souvenirs, with pictures of Santa Claus and Antarctic Immortal, as festive as New Year pictures, but the captions below were ridiculous:
Santa Claus is the North Pole Fairy's brother
Although the North Pole Fairy and the South Pole Fairy are in charge of the fairy worlds of the North and South Poles, they have a deep friendship and a long-lasting brotherhood. During the winter solstice and summer solstice, the two fairies will visit each other and share the joys of the fairy world and the human world. On the winter solstice, the North Pole Fairy drives a reindeer sleigh loaded with gifts to bring joy and blessings to the children on earth. Every family puts up a Christmas tree and prays for the North Pole Fairy to bless the children.
On the day of the summer solstice, the South Pole Immortal rides a crane and carries peaches to bring longevity and blessings to the elderly on earth. Every family displays peaches and cranes to pray for the South Pole Immortal to protect the elderly.
As the saying goes: immortals and mortals celebrate together, pray for blessings and health...
Qin Jiandan frowned and said, "This article is really strange. Why is it written in semi-classical Chinese? Although the starting point may be good, trying to use the doctrine of borrowing Santa Claus as a part of Eastern culture. Not to mention people from West City, some people from East City may not understand it. The writing style is also..."
The Zhang brothers whispered, "Captain Hu Chi sent this urgently for reprinting. He said it was written by President Qin Qi himself..."
Qin Jiandan's body trembled: "It's really well written! It corrects the fact that people in West City don't know that Santa Claus is actually the North Pole Immortal! Let's put it all here, maybe someone will read it."
Qin Jiandan took a quick tour of the first floor of the Eco-Tower and felt good overall. Although the businesses have not officially opened yet and many places have not been completed, they have already shown enough charm to become a new landmark in Dongcheng.
It was approaching 19 p.m. when a floating police car slowly landed outside the window. Mu Yue, Rui Shuang and Lin Lin entered the ecological tower.
Because Linlin was needed to check the floating module of the police car to confirm whether there were any hidden eavesdropping devices, Mu Yue and his group arrived a little later.
"The floating module is safe." Linlin said the first thing she said when she saw her brother. "Maybe the company anticipated that we would conduct an inspection, so they didn't do it. If I hadn't gone to check, they might have installed it."
Qin Jiandan wanted to ask the guard to bring another balance bike out of consideration for Linlin's legs, but Linlin refused, saying that she had no problem walking normally and had removed the extra weight from her engineer boots when she went out today.
In order to get used to the weight of the prosthesis that may be installed in the future, Linlin has an empty slot in her engineer boots and usually puts some weights in for exercise. Sitting in front of the computer all day watching the surveillance and staying at home too much may also cause leg muscle atrophy, so this is also to prevent it.
The ecological tower is located behind the Night Dragon Society headquarters, and the police car can drive over very quickly, especially after using the levitation function.
Originally, at such a close distance, using the floating mode requires take-off and landing operations, which is not as convenient as the normal mode, but Rui Shuang clamored to ride in her mother's "flying car", so Mu Yue satisfied her.
Protected by seat belts, passengers felt the vibration of the hovercraft taking off, then passing through the air. Looking at the various things that became tiny under the window, they couldn't help but feel excited.
"Mom is awesome! Flying cars are awesome! Rui Shuang, who can ride a flying car, is also awesome!"
Ruishuang raised her hands and cheered. In fact, not only Ruishuang in the passenger seat was excited, but Linlin in the back seat was also very excited. However, she was afraid that her sister-in-law would think she was childish, so she did not show it.
Qin Jiandan took Mu Yue, Linlin and others to have dinner at Lao Wang Fried Chicken. The fried chicken shop now also has fast food such as fried shrimp, which tastes richer when paired with drinks (and lemon).
Mu Yue did not eat the lemon slices like Linlin did, but ordered lemon soda for herself. She is indeed a soda poisoning patient.
Fried chicken and beer is Qin Jiandan's regular combination, but he deliberately didn't drink beer today to avoid any mistakes on the artificial beach later, after all, he can't swim.
In order to give Linlin a surprise, Qin Jiandan told Linlin before leaving the headquarters that he would take her to the artificial beach on the first floor of the ecological tower to play in the water.
Almost no one in Ringstone City has ever seen the real sea. Even for the artificial beaches, the only thing you can do is the "Wave Carnival" project in the Central Tower Mall.
Entering the Central Tower Mall requires a Class B resident ID permit, which is not available to ordinary people from the outer city, let alone Linlin, who has committed a serious crime of hacking. Qin Jiandan instructed the Eco Tower to build an artificial beach, partly because there is a real need in East City, and partly because he wants to make Linlin happy.
"Artificial beach? Can we play with water and sand as we please, like in the movies of Earth era?"
Linlin almost jumped up to celebrate. She brought her swimsuit (she had prepared it at some point), and after checking the police car, she urged her sister-in-law to leave quickly.
Mu Yue herself was not very willing to go to the artificial beach. In the central tower, Qin Jiandan was very interested in the "Wave Carnival" and was obsessed with seeing Mu Yue wearing a swimsuit.
Qin Jiandan explained to her seriously this time: "This is also to test the safety of the water body of the artificial beach. After all, there is an underground space under the first floor. The specific gravity of water is very large. If the water body collapses, it will cause a very bad situation. As the young master, and you as the young master's wife, you have the responsibility to protect the safety of the residents of East City!"
Alas, it’s rare for Linlin to come and play, and so is Ruishuang, I can’t spoil their fun. Anyway, I can only wear a swimsuit...
