Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chen Wan smiled and said, "Master Wei, please sit down."

Wei Changxiu thanked Chen Wan, walked up to the two and sat down.

"Why did Young Madam come here today?" Wei Changxiu looked at Leng Sa and asked with a smile.

Leng Sa was a little puzzled, "Otherwise where should I go?"

Wei Changxiu said with a smile, "I thought Mrs. Fu should go to the Council Hall or play with Miss Zhang Si."

Leng Sa waved his hands and said, "I'm not interested in that, Huizhi accompanied Xinyou to the calligraphy and painting exchange meeting, I'm a rough person and I don't know much about those elegant things."

Wei Changxiu looked at Leng Sa meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Young Madam said that she is a vulgar person, but no one would believe it."

Leng Sa shrugged helplessly, she was not being modest, what she said was the truth.

Those things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were returned to the teacher by her eight hundred years ago.

"What's the matter? Head Wei doesn't want to talk about your big business, so he still has time to come here and chat with us."

Wei Changxiu said with a smile, "A friend wants to meet Mrs. Young and Ms. Chen. I wonder if I can show him face?"

Leng Sa and Chen Wan looked at each other, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Wei Changxiu said, "I heard...Ms. Chen, the young lady's automobile factory, also has shares?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Young Master Song and the third prince." It's not a secret either, Wei Changxiu can find out by just checking.

Master Wei glanced at Leng Sa, and said quietly, "Young madam would rather find the third prince thousands of miles away than me? Could it be that Xiao Yiran is richer than me?"

Richer than a prince, Wei Dangjia is really good at choosing angles.

Who doesn't know that apart from His Majesty the Emperor himself, members of the royal family are synonymous with poverty in the eyes of real wealthy businessmen?

After all, they only have one living allowance each year, which is not particularly generous. They have to maintain their daily ostentation and expenses, and there are many things they cannot participate in because of their sensitive identities. Xiao Yiran is already considered a wealthy member of the royal family.

But compared with Wei Changxiu, the wealthiest Anxia richest man in the country, it's probably the difference between a business owner with tens of millions of assets in her previous life and the number one Forbes rich man.

Leng Sa smiled reservedly, "Maybe it's because the Wei family is too rich, and I'm not good enough for you."

Wei Changxiu smiled, "If you're not good enough for me, can you be good enough for Ms. Chen?"

Leng Sa squinted her eyes and said, "Didn't Sister Chen kindly support me because she saw that I was struggling to start a business? How can you describe it as worthy or not?"

Wei Changxiu said with a smile, "Young Madam, I think you are hostile to me."

Leng Sa pondered for a moment, then said, "You can call it, Qiu Fu."

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Wan couldn't help coughing lightly, and said with a smile, "Master Wei, you haven't said who is looking for Sa Sa, and what is it for."

Wei Changxiu nodded, and finally remembered the business, "Gong Jiangming, do you two know each other?"

Leng Sa shook her head honestly, and Wei Changxiu gave her a look of "I don't even know what business you do".

Chen Wan knew her, she nodded and said, "The largest grain merchant in the southeast, the Gong family?" Wei Changxiu nodded and said, "That's right, this time the eldest son of the Gong family, Gong Xin, is also here, and the Gong family wants to buy 300 heavy trucks. "

Leng Sa blinked, "Master Wei, I am currently selling small cars."

Wei Changxiu smiled and said, "But you will produce large cars soon, won't you? The Gong family just wants the right to queue up first."

Leng Sa was a little puzzled, "I am not the only car factory in China, but most of them produce heavy trucks."

Wei Changxiu shook his head and said with a smile, "There are several factories in the country, and the young lady must know that they do produce, but generally speaking, the output is not high, and they must be supplied to the military first, and then the provinces themselves. Heavy trucks are currently used by the military more, and they are bought and sold. It’s not an easy task. Gong’s family is located in the southeast, and food is very important, but... the places with automobile factories happen to have no shortage of food. It’s easy to buy a car, but hard to buy a heavy truck.”

These days, there are not many people who can afford a car, so Anxia's car production and market are actually not big.

However, all kinds of heavy-duty vehicles have always been in short supply, and the largest customers are the military and some luxury businessmen with transportation needs.

"Of course, the most important thing is... the third young master of the Gong family had driven the car from Mrs. Fu Shao's factory in Yongcheng before, and he thought it was very good. So when he heard that Mrs. Fu wanted to add new models, he immediately suggested to the Gong family. Originally, Gong The family is planning to come to visit after the next year, but I didn't expect the young lady to follow Fu Shao to the capital and come to Naga. So... how about it? Give me some face?"

Leng Sa glanced at Chen Wan, and smiled when she saw her nodding, "Head Wei's face, of course, will be given no matter what."

Wei Changxiu nodded and smiled, "Thank you, I'll ask him to come over."

Leng Sa thinks that Wei Dangjia actually works part-time as a middleman pimp to earn the difference.

After a while, Wei Changxiu brought a middle-aged man in his early forties over.

I was not surprised to see Leng Sa at his age, and even couldn't help feeling that the world was finally normal.

Over the past year or so, she has seen so many young talents of all kinds that she occasionally couldn't help but wonder if An Xia's outstanding ability is only from the 50s and 60s like Fu Dujun and the 20s like Fu Fengcheng and others. Thirty generations. As for the current 40th generation, it is probably the legendary...beat generation?

"Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Chen, this is Mr. Gong from Southeast Grain Industry." Wei Changxiu introduced them with a smile.

This Mr. Gong Xin is very sensible to ask Wei Changxiu to make a connection. Facing Leng Sa and Chen Wan, they were very polite and courteous, and they were not negligent because of their identities as women.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Mr. Gong doesn't need to be too polite, please sit down."

Gong Xin and Wei Changxiu sat down, and went straight to the point to explain their intentions.

The Gong family owns several large farms in the southeast, and also controls half of the grain transactions in the southeast. The terrain in the southeast is flat, and the roads are naturally much better than the rough and winding terrain. But now in most places, whether it is farms or ordinary people's farming and trading, they all rely on manpower, which is not only slow but also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The Gong family has long wanted to buy a large number of vehicles to help with transportation, but heavy trucks are not so easy to buy, especially the Gong family wants to buy a lot.

Chen Wan said with a smile: "I'm just a person who earns dividends from dry stocks, and Mr. Gong has to talk to Sa Sa about these matters."

Gong Xin looked at Leng Sa and said sincerely, "Mrs. Fu, our Gong family is really sincerely looking for a purchase. I don't know what you think..."

Leng Sa thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Gong should know that my factory is too small, and it has just been established. The output will not be able to keep up for a while. In addition, heavy trucks are still under control in Anxia. Priority is given to the military. Even if I dare to sell it, can the Gong family really buy it?"

Gong Xin said with a smile, "This... Don't worry, Mrs. Fu, we will take care of it naturally and won't cause trouble for Mrs. Fu."

Leng Sa smiled and shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid of trouble. Since Mr. Gong said that it is used to transport food, I have another car. I don't know if Mr. Gong should consider it? As far as the present is concerned, heavy trucks are harmful to roads and consume a lot of energy. The consumption of oil and maintenance is quite large.”

Gong Xin was a little disappointed, "What does Mrs. Fu mean?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "When I return to Anxia, ​​I will send someone to send the drawings to Mr. Gong. Of course, Mr. Gong is also welcome to come to Yongcheng for field inspections. If Mr. Gong thinks it is okay, I can guarantee to deliver 100 drawings within a year." Here's the car for you."

Gong Xin thought for a while and said, "Then I'm a little curious. I will definitely go to Yongcheng to visit Mrs. Fu."

After Gong Xin left, Wei Changxiu looked at Leng Sa curiously and said, "What new plans does Mrs. Fu have?"

Leng Sa shook her head and said, "No, I think... I might have been thinking about it earlier."

"What do you mean?" Wei Changxiu was puzzled, and Chen Wan also looked at Leng Sa curiously.

Leng Sa said, "I just wanted to pursue the shape, quality and various performance parameters of the car."

Wei Changxiu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?" What else could Che Zi pursue if he didn't pursue these things? Wei Changxiu has also seen the cars coming out of Leng Sa's factory, and he has to say that the appearance alone is a bit higher than many cars currently on the market.

Those who can buy a car these days are rich people who don't care about the money. Naturally, they can buy whatever looks good, and the performance of Leng Sa's car is better than other cars.

Now those car manufacturers haven't reacted yet. After all, Leng Sa didn't sell a few cars in total, and most of them were digested internally by the military of the six southern provinces. After waiting for a long time, even with the support of the Fu family, some people might not be able to resist jumping out to make trouble.

Leng Sa said, "It's right to pursue these things, but there are not many people who can afford them. The better the performance, the more expensive the price, and the fewer people will buy them." Her car is generally 100% more expensive than all the cars on the market. About 20/10, the price advantage is almost zero.

Chen Wan smiled, "Then what are you going to do?"

Leng Sa narrowed her eyes slightly, "Of course the research and manufacture of high-end vehicles will continue, but...Mr. Gong gave me inspiration just now, and I plan to develop some low-end agricultural and transportation vehicles."

Wei Changxiu shook his head, "Even if you only sell it at 10% of the current price, no peasant will buy your car." Mrs. Fu Shao did not have a deep awareness of the poverty of ordinary peasants.

Leng Sa blinked and said, "But those farmers and merchants will buy it. Even if the farmers in rich areas cannot afford it, many families may buy it together. Every household uses mules or horses or walks. It is more troublesome to transport grain to the city by a distance of ten or twenty li or even more, or to transport grain from several or even dozens of businesses in one trip by car? Of course, the current business is only in the southeast. provinces, and the four northern provinces, which are rich and big places. In the Northwest, people might think that cars are not as convenient as horses." Moreover, there are no roads in poor places, so why do you need a car?

There are many types and prices of cars, and there are many cheap and practical cars, but at the beginning, Master Leng went directly to the high-end atmosphere.

Of course, the high-end and high-grade lines can't be lost, Leng Sa thought about the need to separate the two lines.

Master Wei played with the folding fan in his hand thoughtfully, "Mrs. Fu, are you short of money?"

Leng Sa blinked and stared at him for a moment, "Do you want to lend me money? How much is the interest? Low interest? No interest?" Don't count on sending money, big businessmen have no conscience.

Master Wei twitched his mouth, "What interest are you talking about? You are so lucky, I will invest for you."

"No." Leng Sa resolutely refused, Wei Changxiu was puzzled, "Why?" Chen Wan can do it, Xiao Yiran can do it, even Song Lang can do it, why can't he do it?

Leng Sa didn't answer, could it be that she didn't want to play with profiteers?

Wei Changxiu looked at her with a smile, "If you think about it again, there are a lot of benefits from my investment. In the mall, the Wei family's contacts are more useful than the Fu family's. I also have a lot of foreign contacts. Wouldn't it be great if we partnered to earn money from foreigners?"

"..." You think so far. I haven't even taken the Yongcheng market completely, but you are already preparing to occupy the international market.

Leng Sa said: "I'll think about it again."

Wei Changxiu stared at her, "Could it be that you want to go back and discuss it with Fu Fengcheng? By the way, does this trivial matter require Fu Fengcheng's participation? Isn't it easier for Mrs. Fu to make a decision by herself?"

Leng Sa smiled, "It's useless for me to provoke dissension."

Master Wei was a little disappointed, "Well, you can just ask Fu Fengcheng, I never lie to anyone in business."

Leng Sa couldn't help complaining, "Isn't your sentence itself a lie?" You never lie in business, haha.

"..." Master Wei sighed, maintaining his demeanor, "It's really rare to see such a suspicious girl."

Leng Sa nodded, "That's right, ordinary girls can't think of anything to be suspicious when they see Master Wei like this."

In the end, Master Wei shook his head and left with a sigh. Of course, Leng Sa knew that he was probably faking it.

Chen Wan and Leng Sa, who were left behind, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Chen Wandao, "Actually, Master Wei is right. It will be much more convenient for you if you have his and Wei's connections to help you."

Leng Sa nodded while holding her chin, "Of course I know this, but Wei Changxiu... Maybe he will swallow him in the end."

Chen Wan smiled, shook her head and said, "With the Fu family here, he would not do such a thankless thing. Wei Changxiu is smart because he has business dealings with various forces, but he has never offended Either side. What's more, his hometown is still in the southern six provinces."

"That's right. Let me think about it again. Anyway, I just had an idea just now, and it's still early." Leng Sa said.

It was already evening when Leng Sa walked out of the exchange meeting, and Chen Wan was going to stay for a dinner party, so Leng Sa left without any serious business.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Su Ze greeted him, Leng Sa was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

Fu Yucheng was picked up by Fu Fengcheng to attend the five-nation talks, Su Ze should have a lot of things.

Su Ze walked up to Leng Sa and said in a low voice, "Young Madam, Leng Yan is dead."

"..." Leng Sa was taken aback, and it took a while to realize, "Dead? How did you die?"

Su Ze frowned and said, "The embassy and Naga are investigating. When he was found, he was shot in the abdomen and fell in a remote corner. Naga suspected that the rebels retaliated against the Anxia people and suggested that the Anxia embassy People who don’t want to act alone recently.”

Leng Sa collected herself, and asked as she walked outside, "What do you think?"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "I don't think...it looks like it."

"How to say?"

Su Ze said, "If the rebels retaliated, I think it's more likely that they hid directly near the embassy and saw the Anxia people coming out of it, and shot in the street. I looked at the body, and Leng Yan was killed at close range. , This distance is either a stranger’s close-up surprise attack, or he knows the other party. Moreover, the residents of the place where the body was found said that they had not heard the gunshots. Several places where the shooting occurred in the capital of Naga today have also been investigated. It's okay to be cold."

In other words, Leng Yan was shot to death in a secret place where no one could hear the gunshots.

Then why did Leng Yan go to this place? Who did you meet?

Leng Sa rubbed the center of her eyebrows and asked, "Is there any schedule for the people in the embassy today?"

Su Ze was taken aback for a moment, "Young Madam suspects it's one of my own?"

"It can't be that he was unlucky enough to be robbed, right? After the robbing is over, they still want to throw the body in another place? Let's go back first." Leng Sa said indifferently.

When the group returned to the embassy, ​​the embassy counselor greeted them with an apologetic face.

"Mrs. Fu, I'm really sorry." Although Leng Yan didn't reveal his identity, he was Mrs. Fu's cousin after all. Regardless of the reason for the death, the embassy should apologize.

Leng Sa shook her head and said, "No one has thought of this kind of thing, Mr. Counselor doesn't have to do this. Ambassador Cui and the others know?"

The counselor nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to pass on the message, but...the ambassador and Deputy Chief Lu still have to attend the banquet at night, and I am afraid they will come back later."

"The business is important." Leng Sa nodded, and the counselor breathed a sigh of relief. The dead Leng Yan was Mrs. Fu's cousin after all, and it would be difficult for them if Mrs. Fu didn't let her go.

Leng Sa asked, "Where is the body? Can I go and see?" The counselor was taken aback, and looked at Leng Sa with some hesitation.

Leng Sa said, "Don't worry, I don't shy away from this." If she shy away from corpses, her days would not be over.

The counselor hesitated for a moment, but said, "In the back room, Young Madam, come with me."

Leng Sa looked at the Counselor's exhausted face, and said, "Just ask someone to take me there, and if you have something to do, the Counselor can go to work."

Seeing Leng Sa's serious face, the counselor no longer refused to call a staff member to lead the way. He was really busy. A man died in a good manner, and the ambassador is not here, can he be busy as the second in command?

Leng Sa remembered the conversation she had with Leng Yan at the party a few days ago. At that time, neither she nor Leng Yan knew that Leng Yan was lying here as a corpse just a few days later.

Leng Yan's body has been taken care of properly, except for his pale and bloodless face, the whole person looks as if he is asleep.

The doctor wearing a white coat standing next to him looked at Leng Sa and said, "The deceased was indeed shot to death. He was killed by a single shot. He was not poisoned or had other trauma. It is not sure whether he had taken or inhaled hallucinogenic drugs before his death."

Leng Sa looked down at the gunshot wound on the corpse, "What's the result of the gunshot wound?"

"The short-range flat-fired bullet penetrated directly. It should be an S-12 imitation pistol. This is a local imitation gun in Naga. This gun was originally imported from abroad. It has stronger penetration than the original version. It’s very common. Recently, because of the war, a lot of weapons have been scattered among the people, so it’s hard to check.”

Leng Sa reached out to take the gun handed over by Su Ze behind him, looked down at Leng Yan's wound, and posed in the air, "Is that so?"

The doctor took a step back indiscriminately, nodded and said, "It's almost like this, and it should have been shot close to the dead."

"Understood, thank you." Leng Sa nodded.

After walking out of the morgue, Su Ze asked, "What did Young Madam see?"

Leng Sa said helplessly, "I'm not a detective, but there is one thing..."

"what?"

Leng Sa said, "The murderer should be a woman."

Su Ze was taken aback, "How to say?"

The gun in Leng Sa's hand turned around, and suddenly grabbed Su Ze's collar, and the gun in his hand hit Su Ze's exactly the same action just now.

Su Ze almost wanted to fight back, but finally remembered that the person in front of him was not an enemy and couldn't help it, "Young Madam?"

Leng Sa took a step back and looked at the muzzle of her gun, "Did you find it?"

Su Ze lowered his head and suddenly realized, "The location is higher than Leng Yan's wound."

Leng Sa nodded and said, "I'm wearing flat shoes, the murderer must be shorter than me. Besides..."

"what?"

Leng Sa threw a white handkerchief to Su Ze, and Su Ze quickly caught it, "What is this? You also took it from Leng Yan?" He didn't even notice it.

Leng Sa said, "When you smell this handkerchief, do you think it looks like Leng Yan's?"

"..." Thank you, I don't want to smell dead things.
