[153] Engagement

() "Hey, it's a long story, it's not the fault of Immortal Dew..." <Qiu Bifa explained the whole story in the future, and finally got rid of the 'torture' of having his ears pulled.

"No, that bottle of potion can really prolong life?"

After hearing this, Melissa's face was full of disbelief. Even though she had seen the magic of Long Hao many times, this bottle of 'Immortal Dew', which could subvert the concept of life and death, still made it difficult for the princess for a while. accept. ..

At first, Melissa thought that Long Hao's taking out the 'Immortal Dew' was just a gimmick to appease the queen's long-sick heart.

"What do you think?" Long Hao rolled his eyes and said, "It's not a magic medicine to prolong life. Do you think the old Victorian woman is so easy-going?...My earl, your princess, where do these titles come from?"

"Then, then... we are too bad!"

As soon as she realized that the 'Immortal Dew' was real, our Princess Xianlu immediately became angry: This is a real three-year lifespan!The queen's reward is too little? <Speaking of, the broken islands in his fief were paid for according to the area!

"It's not a loss..."

Long Hao smiled contentedly. In this world, no one knows the value of the Arctic Circle islands better than him, or in other words, only Long Hao can give full play to those islands that even ghosts don't want to go to. Thousands, tens of thousands of powerful effects! ..

"You idiot, a king is enough for you? Huh, look at your cheerful and dumb look, is this just the canonization of the Queen of England, or did you spend millions of dollars to buy it with real money? Why are you so happy?" Melissa was very puzzled by Long Hao's 'unclear' this time.Thinking that he was blinded by the title of a king, he spoke out against him, hoping to 'knock' this fresh king of the North Island awake. (Nima, it looks so similar to Ri's own name, does it matter!)

"Don't worry, I'm certainly not knocked out by a title of king."

Long Hao laughed.He said mysteriously: "The benefits of this matter, let me keep it a secret first, and you will be surprised in the future!"

After the World War Three, the global climate disaster, it can be said that the most remaining place on the earth is...the ocean, and it is extremely cold, and the ocean is full of ice...So, you know!

See Long Hao unwilling to say.Melissa did not continue to press, because no matter what, Long Hao gained more than he paid for this trip to London!

The establishment of the North Island Kingdom means that Long Hao and his Huaxia Town finally have a territory and status recognized by the international powers. With this 'root', they have moved around since then.There will be a wider maneuvering space.

"You have gained a lot, Sasha. After the ceremony, is the signboard of Zhongshan Soul fully launched?" After talking about himself, Long Hao asked Melissa with concern.

"That's called a trademark, it's called a brand!"

Melissa gave Long Hao a disdainful look, but when it came to zss.She still couldn't help showing a smile on her face: "With Her Majesty's personal promotion, zss is now very popular. In the upper class in London, if you don't know zss, don't talk about zss-related topics. No Kindly say hello to others!"

The queen doing the publicity herself?Is there such a beautiful thing?Long Hao was amazed, and only after careful questioning did he understand the whole story.

It turned out that after the honor ceremony ended that day, Long Hao was ordered by Victoria to go to work in the North Island country, and he was not in Buckingham Palace.And just as Long Hao was leaving, Queen Victoria held a small dinner party and invited a group of aristocratic ladies from London's high society.

At the dinner, Victoria kept saying that in order to compensate for Melissa's 'lost' succession to the throne, the British royal family will use Zhongshan Soul's costumes for the next three years!That is to say, Zhongshan Soul has received an order from the British royal family for three-year court attire!

The leading effect of the royal family is immediate, coupled with Zhongshan Soul's limelight at the award ceremony and the leaflets sent, the next day after the dinner, Melissa's residence was almost trampled on the threshold... and at the same moment Well, the storefront of the zss branch on Oxford Street was also discovered, and customers poured in like a flood, almost bursting the storefront!

Order!Still an order!

After these customers came in, without a word, they just left orders for Melissa or the manager in the branch store!Regardless of the amount, the only requirement is that the priority of your order must be at the forefront!

These aristocrats and ladies all think like this: next time I have a party, I must wear a dress made by zss and carry a bag made by zss... Even if I don't make it in time and I can't buy it myself, at least... no one else is allowed to have it!

According to the statistics of the executive manager and financial manager hired by Melissa, the number of orders received by ZSS in one day is enough to keep the garment factory outside London open for three years... and the amount cannot be calculated, because The amount column on many orders is empty, you can fill it in!However, it is conservatively estimated that the total price is at least 100 million pounds!

"So many orders, have you accepted them all?"

The enthusiasm for zss was expected by Long Hao, but the ferocity of the attack was quite beyond his expectation.

"Of course...not anymore!"

Melissa gave Long Hao a supercilious look, and said, "You think I'm so stupid? What's the point of accepting these home delivery orders? Most of these aristocratic gentlemen are just for fun, and a small part of them are malicious. Watching our zss go out of the basket... I have already returned the orders door by door, and told them that zss is currently concentrating on designing new court clothes for the royal family. For private orders... ... not accepted yet!"

It has to be said that Long Hao also has to admire Melissa's business acumen.

zss became popular too quickly, and this fire was suddenly blown by two strong winds of "the limelight at the award ceremony" and "the queen's publicity". To be honest, zss just used this Fire, which has just knocked on the door of European high society, its foundations... are still very shaky.

The high-class nobles entrenched in London are not fuel-efficient lamps. Don't look at the snowflake-like orders so tempting, but Melissa knows that if she is not careful, these orders will become a reminder!

The amount is not filled in the order, which seems to be the admiration of those nobles for ZSS.But in fact, it is a gorgeous hidden trap.

The order must be entered into the account, and the amount must always be confirmed. If the amount filled by zss is too high, then these nobles can turn their faces and deny the person, and sue zss in court for extortion.At that time, even if Victoria comes forward, at most it will keep zss, and the royal family's orders and the brand value zss has finally achieved will be destroyed!

Of course, according to the current situation, zss is being favored by the queen, and these nobles generally would not adopt this method of 'burning jade and stone together', but... this 'blank amount' is always a huge hidden danger.

and.From another perspective, this blank amount can also be understood as these nobles' respect for zss and their support for the queen's favorite brand. If it is passed on to the queen's ears, they can even give themselves a lot of points!

Melissa has a keen eye for this trick, and she has observed it clearly, so.She returned all these private orders with 'blank amount' on the grounds that ZSS's production capacity was insufficient.

It directly made these insidious schemes come to nothing.

Want to calculate zss?Your fire is still a little bit worse!

"My Zhongshan soul takes the route of high-end luxury. If there is too much production, it will not be beautiful!"

Melissa said proudly: "Give me a blank and let me fill in the amount at will, so you think it's showing favor to me? Heh heh, what they think is beautiful, as long as you give me time, I will let them come next time. In person Fill in the blanks with numbers of one hundred thousand and one million! And you have to line up obediently, you can’t get the goods immediately after placing an order!”

Long Hao greatly agreed with Melissa's approach. Isn't this strategy the famous "hunger marketing" in later generations?First crazily hit the popularity of the product, and then control the quantity of the product.Wait until the consumers are all eagerly waiting and impatient, and then attack in unison, punching hard and earning the highest profit! <, I know our foundation is still very weak, although after this successful operation, the brand of zss has been launched, but..."

Melissa's face was calm, and she calmly analyzed: "But our zss product does not have a characteristic that others cannot imitate. If it is mass-produced, it is easy to be imitated by someone with a heart, and our hard-won reputation will be destroyed!"

"So the best thing to do now is to reduce the scale. The products are only supplied to the British royal family. Wait..." Melissa's eyes flickered, and said: "Wait for the channel of whitening medicine to be opened up. At that time, zss will be bundled with whitening medicine. , you won’t be afraid of imitation and malicious slander by others!”

Melissa's thinking is very clear. There is no sound trademark law in this era. Although zss has become popular for a while with its super-era design, the quality of its products is not superior to similar products (for example, the material of clothes, leather bags, and jewelry) etc.), once sold on a large scale, it is easy to be defeated by a large number of 'knockoffs'!Only with the help of the unique whitening agent, zss can set up a banner of characteristics that cannot be imitated.

Long Hao clapped his hands and encouraged Melissa with a smile: "I agree with your idea very much, Sasha, your talent in business is really unparalleled!"

"Stop patting the horses!"

Melissa gave her a wink, but she didn't want to follow Long Hao's tricks, because according to the past practice, Long Hao poured her intoxicating soup just to change the subject.

"My Earl of Beihai, I've finished talking about my story, shouldn't it be time to tell about yours too?" Melissa stared at Long Hao with 'bad intentions'.

"My business? What can I say?"

Long Hao rolled his eyes, quickly yawned, and said with a grin: "Ah, I suddenly feel too tired and need to rest, Sasha, do you want to sleep with me?"

"Sleep, you know how to sleep! Pretend, I will let you pretend to be confused again!"

Melissa suddenly became angry, and she threw herself into Long Hao's arms, and threw the two of them onto the soft sofa. A pair of hands ruthlessly trampled on Long Hao's soft part: "Do you know what I want to ask you?" The queen betrothed me to you in front of so many people, but you are lucky, you can’t even see me these days, and you don’t give me any confession! I, I am in your heart... Hmph, hum... woo woo woo..."

Melissa did have a reason to be wronged. The queen canonized Princess Xianlu as the queen of the North Island country in front of the world, but the king of the North Island country has not reacted at all so far!

Not to mention holding a press conference or attending a high society dinner party, even a reporter made an appointment to interview him.Melissa also had to blush for Long Hao's blocking... No one can find him, how can he succeed if he doesn't block, are you trying to lose face?

As a result, sporadic rumors have arisen, saying that after the Earl of Beihai ascended to the sky in one step, he had ambiguous relationships with many royal princesses.It is very likely that you will forget about the "dirty wife" and prepare to regret the marriage!

"Do you also believe these rumors?" Long Hao couldn't laugh or cry. It's only been a few days, no matter how capable he is, he can't hook up with the princess of the royal family!

"I don't believe it, but you have to give me an explanation!"

"What's the explanation? Sasha, don't you want to... get married?" Long Hao said in surprise.

"Why, no?"

Melissa froze, her black and white eyes widened, and she sat up in Long Hao's arms like a civet: "I, I am already yours. You can't bear... Unlucky!"

In desperation, the idiom is quite easy to use...

"Yes, of course!"

Long Hao suddenly felt that his life was facing an unprecedented crisis, and quickly blurted out: "But, but... I am not of legal age!"

Seeing Long Hao's bitter face, Melissa was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered: this bad thing that has harmed her, this year.It seems that he is really... not yet 14 years old!

Melissa Hongxia hit her face, gritted her silver teeth and said bitterly: "You still have the nerve to say it. You...you little sinner!"

"You can't blame me all, it's all caused by that set of boy skills!"

Long Hao yelled at being wronged: "Besides, you have also gained a lot of benefits, but you can't turn your face and deny it after eating it all!"

"Acknowledge..."

Melissa's ears were completely red, and she pinched Long Hao's important parts hard: "Who ate and wiped it clean? Who took advantage? Tell me, who did not admit it?!"

"Oh...yes, it's me! I'm the one who ate it up and refused to admit it!!"

Long Hao let out a miserable cry.In order to keep the second younger brother, he finally endured the humiliation and took all the 'crimes' on his back.

"Hmph, I just want you to correct your mistakes and admit your guilt!"

Melissa, who won the victory, jumped out of Long Hao's arms angrily, pointed at him and said, "It doesn't matter if you're not old enough. First...get engaged!"

Westerners pay attention to getting engaged first and then getting married. Engagement has an engagement ceremony, and marriage has a wedding ceremony, and a ceremony is what Melissa wants most now!

"got engaged……"

Long Hao thought about it, and finally nodded his head under Melissa's nervous gaze: "I agree to get engaged, but..."

"But what?" Melissa blurted out as her heart pounded like a deer.

You know, Melissa's desire to become Long Hao's wife is too strong!Long Hao is so outstanding, with endless mysterious methods and a lot of confidante around her. Melissa knows that although she has the status of a princess, in Long Hao's eyes, this status is worthless.The only thing she can rely on is that she took the first step to form an intimate relationship with Long Hao, and now she is by his side every step of the way, so... strike while the iron is hot, the reason why she put on a 'vicious' forced marriage today is because That is to say, without giving Long Hao a chance to think about it, he made a big effort to secure his position as the 'main room'!

"But engagement is no small matter, especially when the protagonists of this ceremony are a princess and an earl who owns a kingdom!"

Long Hao smiled slightly and said, "So, I want to invite a worthy witness!"

That's right, the engagement ceremony of the king and queen of the North Island country, how could the witnesses be bad?

"You want to invite...Her Majesty the Queen?" Melissa is very smart, who is the witness but Victoria?

"Yes!" Long Hao hugged Melissa into his arms and said, "It is the queen who gave you the marriage. How can she escape this engagement ceremony? I will go to the queen tomorrow and tell her about it." !"<, you are so kind to me..."

Night, deep, water, thick... One night passed.

On the second day, Long Hao, who was full of energy, appeared in the queen's office.

By the way, after the queen's health recovered, the office became her resident place. She had been working hard on government affairs and studying these past few days, as if she wanted to make up for the lost time of eight years.

Even the then prime minister, Cecil, complained privately: The queen is almost finishing up my work!

"Oh, it's the Earl of Beihai, sit down for a while, and wait for me to finish reading this document..." Victoria raised her head slightly, and continued to read the materials in her hand.

After a few minutes, the queen finally closed the materials, raised her head with a smile, and looked at Long Hao: "Earl Beihai, your affairs are all done? How did you come to see me, an old man?"

"Your Majesty, you work too hard, be careful of relapse!" There were no outsiders, and Long Hao's words were not polite. Who made the Queen deliberately torment herself after the award ceremony?

Go to various departments in person, pay a lot of land money in person, and sign the legal documents of his own kingdom one by one... Doing everything by himself, Long Hao, the king of the North Island, is the first one that has never been seen before!

"What are you afraid of? Don't you have your Immortal Dew?" Victoria pretended not to understand, but said in a vague way: I helped you build the country. You promised me the Immortal Dew, but don't forget to make it. !

"What's the hurry, there are still three years left!" Long Hao raised his legs, looking indifferent.

"Hmph, brat, don't come here... Tell me, come to me so early in the morning, what request do you have?" The queen sternly.

"There is no requirement, but I have completed the formalities for the official establishment of the North Island country. When will Her Majesty let me go and see the ground?" Long Hao said unhurriedly: "More than 100 million pounds have been thrown out. , can’t you just give me a globe and let me look at that piece of paint-painted island to have fun?” (To be continued.)
