Chapter 122: Lingerie Tycoon
Gu Lina thought that Li Zhen's idea was feasible, but it was a little tasteful.
These two twins, really good luck!
Gu Lina leaned behind Li Zhen, squeezed Li Zhen's back with her crisp chest, wrapped her hands around Li Zhen's waist, and said in a coquettish voice: "No wonder you didn't come to accompany me, it turned out that there were two exotic twins hidden in the mansion." General, how does it feel to have two twins with you? Do you want me to find a pair of twins too, and I'll accompany you with them. Let you experience the strange feeling. ”
The corners of Li Zhen's mouth curled, and he secretly said that Gu Lina's idea was really ahead.
This one is more than double-fly!
Li Zhen said with a serious expression: "Gu Lina, the twins were given to me by Ali Guo, but I didn't do anything. So far, I haven't even touched my fingers. Alas, they are also two poor people, and I can't take advantage of them. ”
"Really?"
Gu Lina was a little unconvinced, and felt that even a saint would not be able to stabilize it.
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Although your man is not a good person, he still has basic principles. ”
Gu Lina smiled and said, "My man, naturally, is the best. ”
Li Zhen said with a smile: "You are in the arms business, and Sister Alice is in an ordinary business. That's the real business. Li Zhen feels that the market will be bigger in the areas that Alice needs to be involved, because not only Shanghai, but also Jiangsu, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and even all parts of the country, these places will set off a storm caused by underwear. The two were tired for a while before eating together.
After eating, Li Zhen returned to the weapon and said, "Gu Lina, can you still get a cannon?" ”
Gulina shook her head and said, "Not yet, for the time being, muskets are easy, but artillery is difficult to transport." Most of the artillery sales were in the hands of the powerful, and it was difficult for me to occupy a large share by virtue of the name of a countess. ”
Li Zhen said: "Even so, we can only wait, I hope it is still too late." ”
At this moment, Li Zhen's mood became a little heavy.
Li Zhen has been counting the time, and it is now the fourth year of Xianfeng. Since this year, the Second Opium War has actually begun, but it is still in the stage of various kinds of fighting, and Britain, France and the United States have always sought to revise the treaty and will not start a major war for the time being. This year will be a year in which Li Zhen will vigorously develop his strength, otherwise it will be difficult to change the outcome of the Second Opium War.
As far as Li Zhen is concerned, the military industry, commerce, and so on must be developed in Shanghai to promote the enhancement of strength.
Gu Lina rolled her eyes and asked, "What's in time?" ”
Li Zhen smiled: "Nothing! ”
Gu Lina didn't ask, and said some private words with Li Zhen.
Li Zhen left Gu Lina's residence, returned to the house, and went directly back to the study.
Li Zhen asked people to find a pencil, and used the pencil to sketch the figure of the new underwear, and only after it was ready, did he enter the courtyard of Alice and Gu Yili. Li Zhen excitedly put the underwear he had just painted on the table and said: "If you want to do business, arms, mining, etc. are difficult to reach, so your buyers start with women." ”
Gu Yili stared at the drawing, suddenly blushed, and whispered, "How does this picture look a little similar to underwear?" However, this can only cover the chest, and the rest of the place cannot be covered, which is too little. ”
Li Zhen said: "This is very useful, the two of you find a reliable foreign woman who can speak Chinese to help you, and then find some reliable tailors to make such underwear and sell it." As long as it makes a name for itself, it will definitely be popular. ”
Alice nodded, "Thank you, General!" ”
Li Zhen took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table, and said, "Here are 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and I will hand them over to you as start-up funds." If the money isn't enough, come back to me. ”
Alice said again and again: "Enough, enough, enough!" ”
Li Zhen said: "Underwear is a piece, and I think perfume is also good. You know the scent of lavender is fine, so why not get some rose perfume? Or is it the rest of the botanical perfumes? As long as you blend it slowly, you can adjust the flavor. Whether it is rich, or light, or long-lasting fragrance, it is definitely a way to attract gold. ”
Gu Yili said: "General, you are too powerful. ”
Li Zhen smiled and said, "The money and methods are handed over to you, and then it's up to you." ”
Alice had a determined look on her face and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, my sister and I will not live up to the general's cultivation." ”
Li Zhen said: "It's good to have something to do, and when the thing is done, I still have important things to do, so I'll go first." After saying that, Li Zhen strode out of the room and left Alice and Gu Yili's courtyard.
Alice glanced at Li Zhen's back resentfully, and sighed in her heart.
Gu Yili was reluctant, watching Li Zhen's back gradually disappear. However, both of them quickly adjusted and struggled for the next things, both wanting to make a career.
Li Zhen returned to his study and returned to the construction of the army.
Now the army is beginning to be regularized, and the forces are not enough.
In this era, military power is king.
Li Zhen knew that having a gun was the king of grass, and it was impossible to give up the training of soldiers. Li Zhen began to ponder increasing his troops, wanting to further strengthen his strength. Not to mention the expansion of the force to 10,000 people, but at least one more battalion will be formed, making up for 3,000 people. With 3,000 musketeers, it was already a very powerful team.
Historically, during the Second Opium War, more than 1,000 British troops easily took Guangzhou. In this situation, it can be seen that the power of the Manchus is weak, but it can also see the arrogance of the British. For several days in a row, Li Zhendu was planning for army building, and even wrote a drill outline.
In the outline, Li Zhen's later generations listed some training methods, such as positive walking, standing in a military posture, long-distance running, and other things, all of which were to train soldiers so that they could have higher quality.
Outside the study, there was a knock on the door.
Seeing that there was no voice, Li Zhen frowned and asked, "Who?" ”
"General, it's us."
Outside the study, Alice's voice was heard.
When Li Zhen heard this, he said, "The door is not closed, come in." With a creak, the door opened, and Gouly and Alice walked in, one after the other. Although the two of them are still as beautiful as flowers, they both have bloodshot eyes and are a little haggard, with embarrassed expressions on their faces. However, the breasts of the two are much taller than the original, and the murder weapon on the chest is even more prominent, which is turbulent and eye-catching.
Li Zhen asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Alice said: "My sister and I followed the general's method, and found ten reliable tailors, and also found foreigners who could speak Chinese. Everything was ready, and according to the drawings given by the general, hundreds of sets of underwear were made. However, when we sell in rented stores, few people are willing to buy except for watching, and so far there are no more than five. ”
Gu Yili was red-eyed and very sad.
When Li Zhen heard this, he laughed and said: "It's nothing more than a matter of promotion, this is actually very simple." ”
Alice's eyes lit up and she asked, "General, do you have any ideas?" ”
