1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"The commander plans to bring in the Osaka Merchants Group and the southerners to join in the effort. If we do this on a large scale, the costs should be reduced to an acceptable level. Don't forget who our target customers are."

"The full cup size might sell better, the three-quarter cup size is also good, and the half cup size might not be well accepted, but we can sell it in Shanghai and find a few celebrities to help promote it."

"Ruan Lingyu? My information shows that she was the first recorded Chinese woman to wear a modern bra. She should be able to accept it."

"Well, when the time comes, I'll organize the information, draw up a list, and give it to the Commander to choose from... Can we design a few more styles and add more products?"

"No, we have to wait until we have grown in scale and fame. Otherwise, they will be copied in a matter of minutes. Although we can design new ones immediately, it will be a waste of time."

“Understand… What about the machine and human aspects?”

"The machine isn't a problem. Once the industrial machine arrives from the US, I'll design and modify a production line. However, the actual sewing still needs to be done manually, which isn't a problem at the moment. There are many skilled women working there."

"Okay... As for underwear, can the new material problem be solved?"

"It's difficult to do it in a short period of time. It's either uncomfortable or too expensive, or you have to design the production line from scratch."

"Then let's focus on cotton first. We'll also need all the machinery like spinning machines." "Don't worry, they've got it all in Osaka."

"sanitary napkin..."

That's right, what caught Wang Mintong's eye were some new things she had never seen before, and most of them were exclusively for women:

Bras, modern underwear, sanitary napkins...

Previously, Mr. Ma said that agents should find ways to "make money from women", and this is it.

To be precise, it is about making money from "rich women" or "rich men's women".

The first batch of guinea pigs (harvested objects) were the Manchu noble women represented by Wanrong.

These people have been rich for generations, and there has been no liquidation of accounts with them since the founding of the Republic of China. They have a huge amount of money (which can be converted into cash), and it is impossible to reap it all by selling official positions and titles alone;

Rather than letting this money be squandered on wine and women, it would be better to let the Osaka Business Group represented by Mr. Ma and the Chinese Communist Party earn it and use it in places where it is more needed.

Judging from Wanrong's reaction, she must have been very accepting.

We are using things from the 21st century to beat things from the early 20th century, many of which are just emerging. If we still can't win, then we should all commit suicide by seppuku.

"Then, Zhilian, after the coronation ceremony, you can order them to gather. Then the promotion task will be handed over to you!"

After discussing the location of the factory in Shenyang, UMP40 smiled at Wanrong, who was frantically taking notes:

"Your Majesty, you must take on the responsibilities of the general manager!"

"it is good!"

Compared to being the "emperor", it is obvious that Wanrong is more concerned about and loves the position of "general manager". The thick notebook is full of key points and difficulties in factory operations.

From recruiting, training and managing workers to connecting the upstream and downstream industrial chains to distribution, promotion and after-sales service, it can be said that everything is covered.

During this period, she devoted almost her whole body and soul to this matter. She became much more energetic than before, and even her drug addiction did not relapse.

It turns out that work is much more terrible than taking drugs (bushi).

"By the way, Shi Ling, Dai Li, you haven't decided on the brand name for these products we're launching yet, right? What are you planning on calling them?"

"Well... the Commander said, since it's women's products and you're the Empress of Manchukuo, the brand name should be Empress, and our company should be Empress Women's Products Group Co., Ltd."

"Okay! Then I will..."

"Sister Wanrong..."

Miss Wang, who had been listening in, raised her hand weakly: "Can I join you?"

In the evening, after returning to my residence, I said, "Mother."

"Um?"

"I want to stay in the Northeast and not go back to Peking." "Hmm?"

"When you return to Peking, remember to send me some extra money. I need it." "Hmm???"

"If you don't agree, I'm going to hang myself." "Huh!!? ?"

255 Capitalism and Crazy Women

Aisin-Gioro Henghui, Wang Mintong's mother, had a splitting headache, not knowing what was wrong with her usually well-behaved daughter.

After visiting her cousin Wanrong to "strengthen their relationship," she came back and suddenly told her mother without warning:

She wanted to hang herself again... No, no... She wanted to stay in Manchuria and not go back to Peking, and she also wanted to take a lot of money from home.

Wang Mintong's mother was always extremely tolerant of her daughter, who was "deeply loved by all the elders" (comment by Wang Mintong's sister Wang Han).

Money, of course I can give you. I can even give you my entire dowry, but you have to tell me what you are going to do with so much money in Manchuria.

But her own daughter refused to say a word. When asked urgently, she ran back to Wanrong and refused to come back no matter what.

If the Queen Mother had not been shocked by the news that "Wanrong is about to become the new emperor of Manchukuo", she would have rushed into the palace to get to the bottom of it.

After the "enthronement ceremony" which was even briefer and more casual than Puyi's, the Queen Mother thought again and again and came to the "Imperial Palace" with trepidation, wanting to see the new emperor, but was told:

The emperor invited all the grandmothers (married noble women) and girls (unmarried noble women) in Changchun to a manor in Changchun to attend a so-called "new product launch conference".

好财

Inside the manor.

A group of "Heshuo Gege" (daughters of a prince), "Duolo Gege" (daughters of a prince/Beile), and "Gushan Gege" (daughters of Beizi) from the Qing Dynasty, all dressed up in gorgeous clothes and wearing gold and silver, gathered together and chattered:

"Hey, you said, Queen..."

"You can't call her Queen, she's the Emperor now." "How can there be a female Emperor..."

"Wu Zetian, isn't she? I heard that the British and Japanese also had empresses." "Okay, okay, tell me, what did the emperor want to do by calling us here?" "How should I know? I thought it was just a customary banquet?"

"But if it's a banquet...why aren't there servants and food?"

"this..."

Compared to the young women who were talking non-stop, the other two groups of women were obviously much quieter.

A large number of them were the wives/widows of Qing nobles and high-ranking officials of the Manchukuo. Most of them were in their thirties, forties, or even fifties. They had been exposed to politics by their surroundings and had a certain understanding of it. Naturally, they were much more stable than the young people and were reluctant to speak easily.

There was a group of Japanese women, most of whom were brought to Manchuria by Japanese businessmen/officers. Because they were unfamiliar with the environment and could not speak the language, they could only wait silently.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long. Three women walked in, accompanied by the sound of music that they had never heard before but was unexpectedly light and pleasant.

The person leading the group is....Huh????

Who is this?

It seems to be... Wanrong??? She is Wanrong? The Emperor?? ? It's actually her!!!

Why are people so surprised?

It wasn't the soft and elegant makeup on Wanrong's face, which was completely different from her past and fully displayed her original beauty, nor was it her already bulging belly, which announced her pregnancy, but her outfit!

The upper body is a white satin shirt with a flower-shaped bow tie and lace cuffs, and a small part of the forearm is slightly exposed, wearing a new and beautiful women's watch;

The lower body is a black tight skirt, but the skirt only covers a few centimeters below the knees, revealing the long black stockings and high heels below;

Her hair was not tied up like the noble women of the Qing Dynasty, but was naturally draped behind her head, tied only with a black bow at the roots.

That's right, it's the Japanese (crossed out) black and white workplace OL outfit that has become extremely classic in later generations. It looks elegant, capable and dignified. The two women behind her are dressed the same as her, fully exuding feminine charm.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately shocked the young people. So beautiful!

So cool! So heroic! So queen! So handsome! I love you, sister!

Of course, they couldn't say these words, but they had similar feelings in their hearts, the only difference was that they screamed like crazy like the little fan girls in later generations.

As for the older women, they were mostly shocked in another sense:

What a shameless outfit!

Ahh ...

Even part of the neckline is exposed! Legs! Legs!

And legs!

So much legs exposed!

The most important thing is the feet! Why don’t you cover your feet tightly?

Are you still a noble woman like this? Yes, you are the emperor!

The Emperor shouldn't dress like this!!

However, due to female instinct, no one can deny the feminine charm and the extreme freshness of this dress.

Especially for these women who have been suppressed for half their lives.

If there were "outsiders" present, they would naturally try their best to avoid them, oppose them, or even criticize them harshly, but now there wasn't even a man in the hall!

What's more, the one who did this was the emperor, who is of high status! Since she did it, can I also...

Like the people around her, the Queen Mother instinctively had similar thoughts in her mind. She was secretly surprised and excited, and then suddenly realized:

My grandma!!!

The one behind Wanrong on the right, isn’t that my Miss Wang! You you you you you you you!!!

You actually followed the Emperor to do this!

Wang Mintong also saw her mother, smiled faintly, raised her chin proudly, and ignored her completely.

Rebellious Girl!!

Because of the dual relationship of "relatives + superiors and subordinates", the Queen Mother was the first to wake up, but the others were still in shock!

The scene was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing this reaction, Wanrong, who was performing for the first time... oh no... she was a little panicked and subconsciously looked to the left and back;

UMP40, also dressed gracefully, gave her an encouraging look. She took a breath, adjusted her tone, and softly delivered a welcome speech:

"Welcome everyone to the new product launch of Queen Women's Products Group Co., Ltd..."

UMP40 quickly translated it into other dialects and Japanese, awakening the dazed women. They hurriedly tried to kneel and salute, but Wanrong raised her hand to stop them:

"This is no longer the Qing Dynasty; we are now a civilized society. From now on, the kneeling ritual will be permanently abolished throughout the country. No one will need to kneel to anyone else. All other rituals will also be kept simple. The imperial decree has been passed to the State Council, and it will be implemented by law..."

"Today, I'm here to host this press conference as the General Manager of Empress Women's Products Group Co., Ltd. So, please don't address me as Your Majesty or the Emperor. Just call me President Wanrong..."

At this time, the ladies noticed the word "Queen Women's Products Group Co., Ltd." that was emphasized twice, and began to speculate in their hearts.

Wanrong, not wanting to waste time, quickly skipped the topic and began to introduce: "The Queen Women's Products Group is a company that integrates women's hygiene, skin care, health care, beauty..."

After copying the introduction speech from some similar companies in the future, the ladies present finally understood what today's so-called "new product launch conference" was.

After all this time, it turns out that His Majesty the Emperor has opened a factory and is planning to sell some things to us!

Some noble ladies were disdainful and even discussed it in whispers. It was really unbecoming for an emperor to become a businessman! Besides, what could you sell?

Gold, silver and jewelry?

Haha, no matter how good those things are, can they be as good as the ones in my shop?

"...To better showcase our products, we'd like to invite our specially hired models to make their debut!"

Touch...what's special?

what?

Alas, the Qing Dynasty is getting worse day by day.

It's ok for a woman to be the emperor, but she actually comes out to do business herself. How inappropriate... inappropriate?

The ladies stared with wide eyes.

Because, accompanied by a burst of music, several tall women slowly walked out from behind the scenes;

Women were not uncommon, masked women were not uncommon, and it was even more uncommon that some of them were obviously big foreigners from the Maozi side;

The strange thing is that they are not wearing a single piece of clothing!

The chest was lightly covered by a strange object, but not completely covered, and a large area of ​​white and tender upper breasts was exposed;

The crotch is a triangle of thin fabric, and you can even vaguely see the black pubic hair!!

Apart from this, the legs, arms, lower abdomen, chest...all are exposed!

“Ah!!”
