Chapter 65: Beidou returns and is bullied by Ningguang
What is fate?
You like money, I like money too, we like the same thing, that is, we are fellow Taoists! Isn't it fate?
Put these distracting thoughts behind you.
Ningguang turned her attention back to the demonstration in front of her.
Seeing that Bai Wen had already answered the phone, she motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said softly:
"Xiao Ai, turn on the projection mode."
next moment.
A virtual light screen appeared in the air, like an open book, with a very technological feel, and Baiwen's figure was at the center of the projection.
"Bai Wen, say hello to everyone." Ningguang moved the light screen projected by her mobile phone and looked at the audience with a smile.
"Dear guests, please be polite." The secretary said she was being polite, but in fact she just stood there without moving, being perfunctory to the extreme.
But none of the businessmen present cared about her attitude.
Their faces flushed and their eyes were filled with excitement.
I thought the video call function that was recently updated on my phone was already fantastic enough... I didn't expect this customized phone to be even more fantastic! It can project images into the air! How on earth is this done?! Could it be some magic trick?
Buy it! You must buy it!
No one hesitated anymore.
A businessman opened his mouth to bid, but the next moment he heard a calm and admiring male voice:
"It can project ethereal images in the air. This function alone is far superior to the camera handed down from Fontaine. It can be called a divine object!"
"It would be a shame not to buy such a magical item."
"Ms. Ningguang, I want all the remaining nine customized mobile phones."
Subconsciously, I looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was tall and slender, with eyes like gold foil and neatly dressed. It was Zhongli Keqing from the Wangsheng Hall!
Although Zhongli never carries money when he goes out, he is knowledgeable, handsome, and generous, and has a great reputation throughout Liyue.
The businessman who wanted to speak earlier suddenly became anxious: "Mr. Zhongli, you are a very particular person, but you didn't do this very particular. There are so many people here. It's not good to eat alone, right?"
This statement was echoed by many people. Previously, they thought that five million yuan for a customized mobile phone was too expensive, and Ningguang was treating them as fat sheep to be slaughtered.
But after seeing the effect of the customized mobile phone with their own eyes, everyone felt that five million Mora was simply great value for money. Why did Lady Ningguang only give out so little? It was not enough to share!
As a result, Zhongli opened his mouth and said he wanted all the remaining mobile phones. Did he ever consider what other people would think?
"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhongli, we all respect you on a daily basis, but eating alone is really too much." This is polite.
"Hmph, you little guest, what you say is simply ridiculous! Nine mobile phones, a total of 45 million Mora, it's not that I look down on you, but can you afford it?" This is so rude, it's almost like pointing at someone's nose and scolding "How can you be so arrogant when you have to ask others to pay for your meals?"
And the sarcastic one: "I heard that this guy always makes disrespectful remarks to Lord Yan on weekdays, and now he is even more greedy, not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue away!"
Zhongli frowned.
He was not so angry as to be angered by these people's remarks, but the funeral girl who came with him was not so relaxed.
Covering her guest's mouth, the little sister blushed, and while apologizing to the people around who were pointing fingers, she whispered:
"Mr. Zhongli... we can't have them. We really can't have them all. We can't afford them all... we can't afford them all even if we sell myself..."
Nine customized mobile phones, each costing five million, which adds up to 45 million Mora.
Not to mention that she was just a pitiful, weak and helpless girl who occasionally did cooking the accounts in the funeral home. Even if the current head of the Wangsheng Hall came in person, facing such a huge sum of money, his first reaction would definitely be to sell them to pay off the debt!
It’s ok to pamper Mr. Zhongli on weekdays...but I really can’t afford to pamper him this time!
"Is this so..."
The old man sighed, "I was negligent."
Seeing that the girl at the funeral parlor was about to cry, he lost interest and said, "Then just buy two and send one to the hall master later."
“Two…”
Although ten million Moras is still very expensive, it is not beyond the reach of Wangsheng Hall.
But...if the hall master knew about today's bill, wouldn't Zhongli Keqing really be stabbed through by the hall master with a Homa?
Zhongli and Su Che have a good relationship, and Ningguang knows this.
So she did not refuse the other party's request, and agreed with a smile, and then said: "In this case, there are only seven mobile phones left. Have you thought about how to distribute them?"
There were ten customized mobile phones in total, and three of them were gone in a blink of an eye. Of course, everyone present was unwilling to accept this.
But what if you are unwilling? This is the Qun Yu Pavilion, the territory of Tianquan Star. If anyone dares to cause trouble, the Qianyan Army will be at your doorstep immediately.
then.
As the race for the remaining seven mobile phones continued, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
In the private room on the second floor.
Aqing, who was worried that the customized mobile phone would not sell, felt a little numb when she saw the merchants downstairs raising the prices like crazy just to grab a customized mobile phone.
Are these people all stupid?
Just now it was 5 million, and people kept complaining about it. Now some people even increase the price to 20 million, just for a customized machine...
There is something wrong with my brain.
I have to say that there are indeed many rich people in Liyue Harbor.
The original price of five million had long been thrown into the ravine.
Of the remaining seven mobile phones, the cheapest one was sold for 12 million yuan, more than double the price.
As for the most expensive one, it even reached a terrifying 34.5 million and was bought by Xingqiu, the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.
The final sales volume of the ten customized machines easily exceeded 100 million yuan, and all this took less than an hour.
No wonder Ningguang didn’t rob the money...this is even faster than robbing money!
What happened that night naturally spread after some businessmen exaggerated the story.
After all, if you spend so much money to buy a customized mobile phone and other people don’t know how expensive it is, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
Many Liyue residents were shocked to hear that someone spent tens of millions just to buy a custom-made... custom-made... yes, a custom-made mobile phone.
The mobile phone they bought for one thousand Mora is already very useful, but a mobile phone that costs tens of millions Mora... my goodness, even if it is made of gold, it shouldn’t be worth so much money!
Some people are envious, some are confused, and some think this is a scam for fools.
However, the lucky ones who bought the customized machines all had expressions on their faces that showed they had gotten a good deal.
The custom-made phone is much easier to use than they imagined. With "Xiao Ai" in it, they don't have to make or answer calls themselves, just say a word.
Not only that, you can also ask it about the time and weather at any time, just like having a useful butler with you.
It also has a projection function, which is even more amazing. Put it in a crowded place, and wow, look at the surprised and envious eyes of the people around you, and your vanity will be satisfied to the extreme.
The Pavilion Master Sun of Baozhu Pavilion has been in high spirits recently.
Many wealthy businessmen approached him and offered to pay a higher price to buy his customized machines, but they were all rejected.
Pavilion Master Sun is not stupid. After getting the customized machine, wherever he goes to a banquet, he is greeted with undisguised envious glances from others.
This kind of face is priceless.
Pavilion Master Sun is just one example.
While countless powerful people are secretly regretting, they are also looking forward to the day when the next batch of customized mobile phones will be released.
There were even many people who used their connections to find Ningguang to get some information, but unfortunately, they were all driven away by Lord Tianquan in the end.
at the same time.
At the port of Liyue, the Southern Cross fleet finally returned from its long voyage.
Beidou, who had been enduring all the way and almost suffocated himself, rushed into the Qun Yu Pavilion as soon as he got off the boat, wanting to ask Ningguang for an explanation.
Lord Tianquan remained calm.
Even though the famous female dragon king had come to kill her, she did not panic. She leaned back in her chair comfortably, crossed her long legs, and took a sip of tea slowly.
"Ningguang, can you shake me?"
Beidou had a bad look on his face and was rubbing his hands together, with an expression that said, "This matter will not be over if you don't give me an explanation today."
"Captain Beidou, why don't you be more clear? When have I ever deceived you?"
Putting down the teacup, Ningguang looked at her intently, her tone slightly puzzled.
Her innocent look made Beidou even angrier.
The female Dragon King was so angry that her teeth were itching. When she thought about how she was so proud of herself and showed off in front of her younger brothers, but ended up suffering a heavy blow because of "not being in the signal area" and losing her dignity, she had the urge to draw her sword and kill someone.
"Still quibbling...then tell me! Why did my phone tell me I was out of signal area after I went out to sea? Not to mention video calls, it's hard to even make a phone call!"
Ningguang sighed.
"Don't you already know the reason? The reason why your phone doesn't work properly is because you're not in the signal area."
Beidou choked, then flew into a rage: "Of course I know we are not in the signal area! I mean, you must have known about the signal area, but why didn't you tell me that the phone had such a restriction before I bought it?!"
"Eh?"
Ningguang frowned slightly, as if she was a little surprised: "Didn't I tell you?"
"No! You didn't say a word!" Beidou was still furious and glared at her fiercely.
"Well, maybe I forgot..."
Ningguang looked a little uncertain and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Captain Beidou, but I remember that the manual seems to have mentioned this issue. Didn't you read the manual after you went back?"
"I... this... you..."
Beidou hesitated a little.
Can she say that she really hasn't turned a single page?
But, but this can't be blamed on her!
No one knew which old-fashioned person had written the instruction manual. The words on it were small and densely packed. She took a quick look at it and put it at the bottom of the box. She never thought she would encounter the problems later.
Ningguang covered her lips and sighed, "That can't be helped, Captain Beidou, remember to read the manual next time."
Beidou: “…”
The female Dragon King was almost furious!
Deliberate! This woman must have done it on purpose!
Looking at the enemy in front of her who was so angry that he was like a puffer fish but couldn't get angry at all, a smile flashed in Ningguang's eyes.
Yes, she did it on purpose.
But so what? Beidou couldn't produce any evidence, so he could only hold back his anger.
It just so happens that it can also let her experience the frustration she had in the past.
I thought about it.
Ningguang called Baiwen over and asked her to retrieve a brand new custom-made mobile phone. She placed it in front of Beidou and said kindly, "Anyway, this is also my negligence... It's a small gift as a token of my apology. I hope Captain Beidou will accept it."
"Forget it! I, Beidou, will not accept food given out of pity!"
The female dragon king, who was in a furious state, sneered and pushed the box back without even looking at it. "The Southern Cross Fleet doesn't lack this little money! Lord Tianquan, please don't worry about it."
“Captain Beidou, are you sure? This is Liyue’s most popular custom-made phone. It’s different from ordinary phones.” Ningguang raised her eyebrows, pretending to be surprised.
"Heh...customized cell phone? So what? Do I look like someone who can't afford it?!" Beidou felt very uncomfortable with her eyes that said "it feels good to refuse, but you will regret it in the crematorium later"
She had just returned to Hong Kong not long ago, and before she had time to find out if there was any big news during this period, she went straight to the Qun Yu Pavilion, so she had no idea what a customized mobile phone was, or how it was different from an ordinary mobile phone.
But...if it's called customization, I guess it's just changing the color, adding some patterns, and the raw materials are more expensive. What other features can there be?
An ordinary mobile phone costs one thousand Mora, while this customized mobile phone costs one hundred thousand Mora, no more.
After all, she was the captain of the Southern Cross Fleet. Even though she often had to spend a lot of money to purchase new ships and maintain old ships in a timely manner, she still had some savings after so many years of going to sea.
Ningguang deliberately made her lose face in front of her younger brother. Beidou was very angry and decided to ignore this bad woman for at least a week. How could she be bribed by a customized mobile phone worth at most 100,000 Mora?
She refused very straightforwardly this time, and felt that she had saved Ningguang's face, and she felt refreshed.
