Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

Charlotte nodded quickly.

The two of them quickly left the Mo Mang Palace area.

Came to a coffee shop.

"I want a double coffee, without sugar or milk." Charlotte ordered a cup for herself and then looked at Wang Que. "What would you like to drink?"

Wang Que: "Just normal."

"Okay, boss, another cup of coffee with milk and sugar."

Soon,

The two of them held their coffee and found a seat in a corner.

"Can we start the interview now?"

Charlotte took out a pen and paper.

Wang Que put down his coffee and nodded gently: "Of course."

The girl instantly got into the mood: "Excuse me, Mr. Messenger, what is the purpose of your visit to Fontaine this time?"

Wang Que: "It's about technical exchange. Fontaine and Liyue are across the sea from each other, and there's a lot of commercial exchange between the two sides, but not much technical interaction. My visit this time is to set this precedent."

Charlotte: "Did you achieve the purpose of your visit?"

Wang Que: "Part of it has been agreed upon. In fact, I have another visit and exchange schedule tomorrow."

Charlotte wrote quickly, taking notes while continuing to ask questions: "I heard that you visited some old factories today. What do you think of these old factories?"

Without hesitation, Wang Que said, "Although the factory equipment is outdated, these skilled workers with thirty or forty years of experience are priceless."

"Their mastery of traditional craftsmanship, such as gear transmission and precision calibration, is a living fossil of Fontaine's industrial history."

“Communicating with them also made me feel the strong technical atmosphere of Fontaine.”

"Compared to the factory equipment, these workers are the real wealth and the real foundation."

Charlotte's eyes lit up slightly, and she felt that Wang Que's words seemed to be prepared for the interview.

She then asked, "Will you help these old factories?"

Wang Que remained noncommittal. "I'm also a businessman, and I value sustainable profits. If Fontaine is willing to provide policy support, such as tax incentives or technological collaboration, I would consider injecting capital and trying to revitalize these old factories."

Wang Que smiled and said to Charlotte, "The cooperation between Liyue and Fontaine isn't limited to technological exchange; commercial investment is also an important aspect. If we can revitalize the factory through a reasonable model, preserving traditional skills while creating jobs, it will be a win-win situation."

Without waiting for Charlotte's response, Wang Que continued:

"If the Steambird reports on the factory's plight and the workers' perseverance, it might attract more investors. The revival of this old brand requires the support of the Fontainebleau Society."

Charlotte nodded slightly. "If we can help, that would be great. So, you're saying that you're willing to help, but you also need Fontaine's help, right?"

Wang Que shook his head slightly: "It's not help, it's investment. The strong Fontaine workers don't need help with pity, they need fair cooperation."

This is actually a way of saying nice things.

I'm not pitying you, I'm helping you because you're valuable, this is cooperation...

This kind of talk will make people who crave dignity very happy.

For example, those workers who stick to the old factories.

"However, Fontaine's attitude is indeed the most important."

"As a journalist, you are well-informed and should know that stable policies are the foundation of a stable business environment."

“Without Fontaine’s approval, the old factory would not be able to recover even if I invested.”

Wang Que's answers were all well thought out.

It combines diplomatic rhetoric with commercial intentions, praising the workers' skills and expressing willingness to cooperate.

At the same time, use media opinion to put pressure on Fontaine and promote more favorable cooperation conditions.

Charlotte seemed to understand what Wang Que meant, but she didn't care.

As a reporter, she didn't have to worry about whether Fontaine was embarrassed.

Her job is to deliver news to the public.

The two asked and answered each other, and time passed by little by little.

Charlotte didn't end the interview until it was getting dark outside and the street lights came on.

"I'm so sorry to have wasted your time."

The pink-haired girl bowed politely.

The pink-haired fox wouldn't be so polite.

Wang Que waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's all for the revival of the old factory."

"You are such a good person." Charlotte gave a thumbs up.

Wang Que smiled and said, "Haha, you're too kind, too kind."

I've been in Teyvat for so long, but not many people praise him as a good person.

Charlotte paid for the coffee, and then the two of them left the cafe and said their goodbyes.

Watched Charlotte leave in a hurry.

Wang Que then slowly walked towards the Buffati Mansion.

……

the other side,

Villette worked hard and finally made Ms. Funina understand that even gods should not spend money indiscriminately.

In addition, eight small cakes a day are unhealthy, and the maximum you can eat is two for afternoon tea.

Also, the special patrol dogs cannot be named Navi and Wright.

Under Villette's rebuttal, Ms. Funina quickly became listless.

Finally, he could only wave his hands and said: "Enough, enough, then Villette, I am the water god, I don't need you to teach me."

"Please leave my room. I don't want to see you."

That Villette had a blank expression on her face and stood up to leave.

Finina suddenly said, "Wait."

That Villette stopped and looked at her with a questioning expression.

Funina pointed to the gift box on the table and said, "Take that gift box."

Villette was stunned. Ms. Funina prepared a gift for her?

This... I just said that about Ms. Funina's shortcomings.

That Villette felt a little regretful.

The words just now should have been gentler, and they shouldn't have hurt Ms. Funina like that.

Finina's voice continued, "This is the gift I prepared for the envoy from Wang Que. Please help me pass it on."

Navelle:...

"Okay, I know."

Then Villette picked up her things and left.

But the voice seemed colder, and even a little annoyed.

Funina scratched her head in confusion, then turned her attention back to the only small cake left on the coffee table.

Chapter 207: Fontaine Automatic Production Line Production and Optimization Guide

Back to the mansion,

I saw Alechino sitting in the middle of the hall,

Standing beside them are Linny and Linnet, as well as another familiar character, Femini.

This shy diver brother is finally back.

When Wang Que walked in, they seemed to be talking about something.

I vaguely heard some hydrological data, rising water levels, abnormal backflow, etc.

However, after seeing Wang Que come in, the communication quickly stopped.

"Sir Wang Que, you're back. Have you eaten yet?"

Linny greeted with a smile.

Wang Que almost thought he was back in Liyue. Was this about eating? It sounded so familiar.

"Ahem, I ate it."

I didn't actually eat, I just had a cup of coffee.

Wang Que waved his hand and took two steps forward: "Ms. Alechino is back. Could it be that the matter I mentioned has been resolved?"

He was still thinking about what Alechino had promised to the researcher.

"The progress is very good. It won't be long before those young researchers fall out with the old guard who control the Academy."

Alechino had a smile on her face, as if everything was going according to her plan.

"I came back this time to remind you that if you want to take over these researchers, you'd better have a legitimate title."

"Most researchers at Fontaine... have their own philosophies."

"It's hard to buy them off with money alone."

"Although they may go with you in their impulsiveness now, they will return to the Academy of Sciences once they calm down."

Except for some corrupt guys, most of the researchers in Fontaine are people with ideals.

This ideal is probably inherited from the Narcissus period.

The more talented the researcher, the more he wanted to solve that terrible prophecy.

If Wang Que only used money to bribe them, he could bribe them temporarily, but he would never be able to bribe them forever.

Of course, Wang Que also knew everything that Alechino said.

Just like when he recruited Raymondo, he used promises to impress the other party instead of giving money directly.

"I will establish a branch of the Chamber of Commerce in Fontaine, invest funds, and build my own factory. I will not bring all these researchers back to Liyue."

"They will keep Fontaine for research, but they will remove him from the shackles of the Academy of Sciences."

Wang Que had a smile on his face.

He is also a young man, and he understands what young people think.

Many novel ideas cannot be realized due to process restrictions, application restrictions, and other shackles.

This is a very uncomfortable thing.

The most favorable condition he could offer to recruit these researchers was to provide them with an open research environment.

Alechino nodded slightly: "It seems that you have been prepared."

Wang Que remained noncommittal: "Does the Northland Bank control many of Fontaine's old factories?"

Hearing Wang Que asking about the Northland Bank, Alechino raised an eyebrow: "Are you asking an executive officer for information about the Fatui?"

Wang Que smiled and looked at her: "Isn't it possible? Are you on good terms with Pantalone? Just talking about Fontaine, his goals are completely different from yours."

Alechino's first purpose in Fontaine is naturally the Heart of God.

But secondly, Alechino also wanted to save Fontaine, at least some of the people.

This can be seen from the Fatui's later strong support for the Fontaine disaster relief.

In the plot, the reputation of the Fatui improved relatively, and it also started from Fontaine.

It was not until Nata, the captain's true manliness, that many people realized that there is actually a huge gap between the Fatui and the Fatui.

The personalities of the different Fatui teams are more like extensions of their respective executive officers.
