With the expansion of Yan Bing's territory, all the original shareholders who followed Yan Bing also made a lot of money. And with the opening of Mingyue Tower, Huan Sha Fang, Jiu Yan Pavilion, and other famous stores in the capital, naturally
It also led to the prosperity of local commercialization...
Brand awareness actually existed in China thousands of years ago...
It's just that the reconstruction after everything was reset to zero has made us forget it again...
Now, Yan Bing wants to pass on this kind of brand awareness forever. Hermes, GUCCI, LV, all of them will stand aside for me!
But with only a few hundred years of heritage, how dare we compare it with our culture that has lasted for thousands of years? The quality, reputation and value of the Huaxia brand! Will thrive under Yan Bing's careful care and go global! Become a leader in the world's industry
Benchmark!
but……
In Yan Bing's eyes, these are just trivial matters...
After all, war and national strength are the highest standards for measuring national value!
Only your own strength is strong!
This is the eternal truth!
So, after Yan Bing entrusted all his junior brothers and sisters to the clerks in Huanshalou, he returned to the Xiangfu Villa built by Yan Bing for Xianyu Kezige and met with the negotiators sent by the Netherlands to the Central Plains...
John DeWitt…
Yes……
It's ridiculous...
The young man who thought he was extremely smart and came up with key suggestions is now being pushed to the forefront by a group of "mature" politicians, entrusting this arduous and dangerous negotiation task to the person who came up with the idea...
…
Maybe... they are not as smart as this young man when it comes to national affairs.
But... regarding politics, they are obviously much more experienced than this young man.
When all the members raised their hands to vote on who would be responsible for the negotiations, even several bigwigs from the same party as him voted in favor...
Therefore, the young, promising and confused John DeWitt has now lived in the Xiangfu Villa in Jinan for more than two months...
The question that puzzled this young man actually has a clear answer in China's long culture...
It is called: "The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them..."
Cultural heritage...there are too many differences...

"Mr. John DeWitt, this is our Princess Kaiyuan...she will personally discuss with you the issue of this prisoner handover."
After the translator said these words to John DeWitt, the young man who claimed to be extremely talented immediately widened his eyes and couldn't believe the facts in front of him...
How old is this girl!??
Sixteen years old? Seventeen years old!??
No... Asians look younger than us, but she... is no more than twenty years old at most!!
But... she has the most powerful fleet in the world... and the most prosperous city I have ever seen in my life...
With his mind racing wildly, he remembered the etiquette in European courts. John DeWitt quickly took off the beaver hat on his head, walked forward quickly, knelt down on one knee, and gently raised Yan Bing's right hand.
, and kissed the back of Yan Bing's hand...
"How dare you——!!!"
As a naval general attending this negotiation, Xue Zhengdao angrily pulled out the long knife from his waist! He was about to chop off the opponent's head with one strike, but was stopped by Yan Bing, who raised his finger lightly...
"This is the court etiquette of Europe. It is not a frivolous act. Put the knife away..."
Xue Zhengdao was slightly startled, and quickly turned to look at the princess, then looked down at the envoy who was kneeling on the ground and turned pale with fear. After gritting his teeth, he put the long sword back into its sheath...
John DeWitt seemed to be frightened by the scene just now. It was not until Yan Bing explained to the other party the completely different customs and customs of the two places through a translator that John DeWitt took a deep breath and stood up slowly.
, put the hat on his chest and bowed deeply...
"Please forgive me for my offense, Your Highness Princess. I sincerely apologize to you for my ignorance just now..."
"It's nothing... After all, this is the first official meeting between you and me. You don't have to be too harsh on yourself... Please sit down..."
As the translator conveyed these words, John DeWitt's eyebrows also raised slightly...
Even in Europe, with the title of heir to the House of Representatives, he is still qualified to stand and talk when facing the royal family. And the other party's behavior is obviously gentler and more generous than most of the royal family members in Europe. He can't help but feel
This aroused the young man's affection for the "gentle girl" in front of him, and even his tone became more awe-inspiring.
"Dear Princess, on behalf of my country and our Speaker of the House of Representatives, I would like to send you my sincere greetings. I hope that through this meeting, we can repair the diplomatic relations between our two countries and restore them to a friendly state of mutual commerce and trade. For this time
During the meeting, I also specially prepared a gift for Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I hope Her Royal Highness can accept the goodwill from us." Bayi Chinese website
After saying that, John DeWitt raised his hand and waved it. His adjutant immediately walked up to Yan Bing holding a glass cover, and under the cover... was a beautifully crafted and meticulous battleship model...
...Even the steering wheel and gun windows on the battleship, as well as the cannons inside, have been perfectly restored...
Send me a battleship model... and call it goodwill...??
Yan Bing smiled...
Then he waved his hand, and two men who had been prepared in advance immediately came up with two trays. In the trays were two sets of Dutch-style clothes, a bra, a tight top, and Baroque-style trousers.
and boots are all available, but one set is made of cotton yarn, while the other set is entirely made of silk.
The two Dutchmen were stunned by the slightly reflective dark flower craftsmanship of the silk fabric. After all, silk is nothing less than a luxury product in Europe. Only Italy can make it. Other countries have no relevant technology at all. Let’s look at the craftsmanship of this dress and the Italian
Compared with the manufactured ones, they are like clouds and mud... Without comparison, there is no harm...
Li Bing also pointed to the two sets of clothes with a smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "This... is called kindness..."
The words were dictated by the translator, and he imitated Yan Bing's tone, instantly making the two Dutch guys in front of him feel embarrassed...
"Okay... I won't go into too much gossip. Let's talk about the main topic..." Yan Bing picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip lightly, then looked into John DeWitt's eyes and said coldly.
: "I want... all your overseas military ports to become the stronghold of our Daliang Navy for a period of... fifty years! Otherwise... I will declare war on your Netherlands!! You can choose for yourself..."
