Chapter 670: 184: Shangguan Furong Apologizes At The Doorway_2
Back in the 1980s, the Chinese did not have much awareness of copyright.
This led to many goods being exported from China, repackaged in foreign countries, and then sold as local products.
The ‘toilet seat’ news of the later era is an example.
The toilet seats from R Country that were so popular among the Chinese were actually made in China!
Ni Yang, having returned from the future, was determined to prevent all such problems. She wanted to avoid any future disputes.
Annie nodded, “Ni Yang, you’ve thought this through thoroughly.”
She’s incredibly shrewd!
Negotiating with her is like a playing a game of chess!
She was clearly just a teenager, but her considerations were more thorough than an adult’s, it was difficult to imagine the capacity of her brain.
Ni Yang continued: “Oh, there’s one more thing. Some products of the Ice Skin Jade Flesh line are limited editions. In order to avoid market disturbances in M Country, I hope you follow the same practice. General limited editions should be capped at 60 sets per month, and the Supreme Edition only 20 sets. It should be purchased by showing an ID card, limiting one set per person per month.”
Actually, limited edition products are also a marketing strategy.
After all, rarity is precious!
Only when it becomes expensive, will people cherish it.
Annie nodded, indicating no objections.
Ni Yang smiled, “If Aunt Annie agrees to all the points I’ve made, we can sign the contract as soon as it’s drafted.”
“Ni Yang, here’s to a successful partnership.” Annie extended her right hand towards Ni Yang.
“To a successful partnership.” Ni Yang shook her hand warmly.
After successfully concluding negotiations, Annie proposed to leave. Ni Yang smilingly said: “Aunt Annie, you are not familiar with China. If you don’t mind, you can stay over tonight, and I can take Emily around tomorrow.”
When they were in M Country, Ni Yang had promised Emily she’d show her around.
Since they’ve already moved into their new house, there was no need to worry about not having enough rooms.
On hearing this, Emily jumped up and down in excitement, “Yes, yes!”
She liked Ni Yang very much and wished she could be with Ni Yang every day.
Annie said, “Then, we’ll take you up on your kind offer.”
In the afternoon, Ni Yang took Emily for a walk around the village.
The village was bustling because a new road was being built. The villagers were intrigued by the foreign girl.
“Yangyang, who is this foreign girl?”
“What’s her name? Which country is she from? How old is she?”
Emily, not understanding Chinese, curiously looked at Ni Yang.
Ni Yang first translated the villagers’ questions into English, then told them: “Her name is Emily. She’s a good friend I met in M Country. She’s eighteen years old.”
“Oh! So her name is Lili!”
“I think calling her Lili sounds better, just like Yangyang’s name.”
“This Lili is good-looking, just like a doll on TV.”
The fashionable name of Emily was instantly transformed into a rustic ‘Lili’ by the villagers. Oddly enough, it sounded quite nice.
“What are they saying?” Emily looked at Ni Yang.
Ni Yang grinned and replied, “They are all saying that they like you a lot and that you look pretty, like a doll.”
“Really?” Emily looked at Ni Yang, absolutely thrilled.
“Really.” Ni Yang nodded.
Emily immediately bowed to the villagers, stuttering in Mandarin: “Tha-nk -y-ou!”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome!”
As they left the construction site, Emily remarked, “Ni Yang, the Chinese people are so friendly!”
Ni Yang nodded, “Yes, we Chinese are really friendly.”
The two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.
In November, most of the plants had withered, but a special kind of plant on the mountain was blooming against the wind.
From a distance, the slope was carpeted in bright red, almost giving the illusion of early spring.
These were the red camellia flowers!
“Wow! It’s so beautiful here!” Emily proposed: “Ni Yang, can we go to the mountain and pick some flowers?”
M Country, due to its terrain and climate, has more rainforests and islands, and hardly any small scenic mountains like in China.
Just like there are very few rainforests in China.
“Sure.” Ni Yang nodded.
This was Emily’s first visit to China, and her first time climbing a mountain, she was exceptionally excited.
Jinghua Mountain is a rocky mountain. There are not many large trees, mostly shrubbery and small pine trees, and of course the camellia flowers.
