Zhang Fan also politely explained his purpose to her.
""Please come in, Lady Ningguang thought she had prepared tea for you." Bai Wen politely led the two into the Jade Pavilion.
As soon as they entered the door, it was magnificent and golden, worthy of being the wealthy lady Ningguang. Although
Zhang Fan had seen it countless times in the game, it was still very surprising to see it now.
Bai Wen took the two to a place that looked like a reception room, with several chairs and a long square table.
There were incense burners, tea, fruit bowls, etc. on the table.
Whether it was the material of the chairs or the arrangement on the table, there was also a collection of vases on the side, which looked very high-end.
Anyway, Zhang Fan, who stayed at home in the mountains all year round, couldn't tell what these strange things were. Just as the two were still surprised by the arrangement of the room, there was another sound of a door opening from the back.
Looking back, wasn't it Ningguang? She came in with a secretary.
"It turned out that the saying was right,"bright eyes, peaches shy away from apricots." Zhang Fan couldn't help but praise, attracting the attention of Shen He beside him.
"You are too polite, little brother Zhang Fan." Ningguang smiled softly
""Little brother?" Zhang Fan was a little confused for a moment.
"Gan Yu and I have known each other for many years and have a very good relationship. I asked her about you and heard that you and her are like siblings, so I boldly call you my younger brother. I hope you don’t mind." Ningguang invited them to sit down, and the two secretaries on the side withdrew.
"It's okay. I'm quite happy when you say that. Hahaha, it's a blessing that many people can't get to be appreciated by the Lord of Tianquan Star in Liyue Port."Zhang Fan didn't know much about the etiquette of meeting important people, so he could only speak based on his feelings.
"Hmm? You are still so distant, and you still call me Master Tianquanxing?" Ningguang looked at Zhang Fan with a smile.
"Ah, since you and Senior Sister Ganyu are so close, I will dare to call you Sister Ningguang?" Zhang Fan said with a strange smile.
""Yes, I like this name very much." Ningguang nodded with satisfaction, and then poured them a cup of tea.
Zhang Fan took the tea, held it in his hand, and asked without drinking,"I wonder why Sister Ningguang called me here?"
He didn't like to beat around the bush, especially with a big businessman like Ningguang who was at the top. It would be better to be direct if such a person could talk to you all day without getting to the point. Anyway, Ganyu was there, and she couldn't cheat him.
"Look at your impatience. The main reason I invited you here this time is that I want to get to know you. Alas, I have cooperated with you for so many years, but I have never met my partner. And Miss Shen He has not been seen for a long time since we last met." Ningguang saw that he was so direct and no longer wanted to joke.
"Well, it's been a long time since we last met." Shen He responded and then fell silent.
Zhang Fan didn't believe her nonsense."Sister Ningguang, just tell me what you want to say. I don't mind. In fact, I'm afraid of wasting your time. I heard that you can sell a meal for a sky-high price."
Ningguang seemed to stop pretending and returned to her true form. The momentum of the equity that dominated the world came surging.
"I am really unlovable, okay, okay, I invited you here to discuss investment with you."Ningguang chuckled and scolded
"Investment? Rice cooker? Didn’t I let Senior Sister Ganyu take care of it before?"
"Yes and no. By the way, speaking of your magical cooking machine, you, the senior sister who is in charge of it, have left everything to me over the years, even the management of Mora to me, letting me manage it."
"Isn't that good? Sister Ningguang is one of the richest people in the whole continent. I'm relieved to leave it to you." Zhang Fan didn't think much of Mora, because he had lived by the mountains and rivers for the past ten years, and there were not many places where Mora was needed. Besides, if he picked some old herbs and sold them, it would be enough for him to eat and drink in the mountains for several years.
"Do you know how much Mora you have kept with me over the years? It's an astronomical number. Even if I saw it, I would be very excited and want to take it for myself."
"Hahaha, Sister Ningguang, don't joke around. I believe in you. If you break your promise, you probably won't be able to stay on Tianquan Star for as long as you do now," Zhang Fan said with a laugh. Ningguang looked at him with resentment,"I don't believe in myself. Every time I see your Mora, it's like a hungry wolf seeing meat but can't eat it. I feel uneasy keeping it for you."
""Okay, okay, Sister Ningguang, just tell me if there’s anything I can help you with. I’ll definitely help you if I can." Zhang Fan was really helpless. Even if he had ten of these old foxes in the business world, he couldn’t beat them. As expected, he finally got this promise. Ningguang smiled slightly as if her plan had worked, and stated her purpose."Two days ago, I got intelligence from Ye Lan that you and the traveler were riding a strange machine outside Liyue Harbor."
Zhang Fan understood as soon as he heard it. So this was what you were going for."Yes, that’s right,"
Ningguang’s glasses sparkled."I heard that you can walk without a horse?"
"Hmm!"
Ningguang's glasses became brighter."I heard that you can travel a thousand miles a day without rest?"
"Hmm!"
Ningguang is very excited at this moment.……"
"Um"
"Huh? Little brother, I haven't finished yet.
"I know what you want, but this thing has already been sold to Ying." Zhang Fan spread his hands.
"Hmm? Is there any other way? Can I only borrow it from the traveler?" Ningguang said while thinking.
To be honest, she was actually quite envious of this kind of thing. From her perspective as a merchant for many years, this was a good thing.
It would be fine if she was an ordinary merchant, but as the Heavenly Authority of Liyue, she had to pay attention to this kind of thing that would greatly benefit the development of Liyue.
Although there are many immortal mechanisms that can achieve similar effects, they are too delicate and difficult to copy, and the materials are too scarce, etc., so they cannot be popularized.
Ningguang thought about the last time she modified the Return Machine, which emptied a large amount of materials in Liyue's inventory. She felt sad when she thought about it now, but at that time, the demon god was about to attack, and she had to make the Return Machine to resist.
Building the Return Machine was a last resort, but if she wanted to transport machinery, she still had to... You can take your time, don't rush.
Before, Ningguang still believed that it would be best to have it, but it didn't matter if she didn't have it, and she could slowly look for it later. Didn't you see that most of the transportation now still relies on pack animals?
Until she saw Zhang Fan had this kind of thing, although it was possible that he got it from the hands of the immortals.
But not all the immortals' mechanisms are as difficult to make as the Guizhong Machine. Don't they have simple ones, such as the mechanical cooking machine.
Although according to Zhang Fan's words, it is called the beggar version, but at least it has the advantages of being light, convenient, low cost, and popular.
So this time she also wanted to test Zhang Fan's attitude, whether it can be popularized in Liyue like the rice cooker. Even if it is not popular, it can be used in the military.
"Yes, I can produce the blueprints, but technology is only one aspect. We also need various supporting measures, such as roads, assembly line production parts, rare minerals, factories, etc."Zhang Fan strikes the road
"It's OK, I believe in our Liyue's skilled craftsmen"
"Don't underestimate the craftsmanship of a car. Just talking about the blueprint, this thing is very complicated, and it takes a long time for you skilled craftsmen to learn it. Some parts require a small error that is invisible. If you rely solely on manual labor without complete supporting measures,Well, unless Zhongli is asked to make the parts."Zhang Fan's meaning was very clear.
Although he could replace one on the spot, and even get the blueprint, he didn't know how to do it, and couldn't teach it.
He didn't believe that Ningguang only needed one car. He couldn't replace ten, a hundred, or a thousand cars.
"Is there nothing we can do about it?" Ningguang was a little disappointed.
"It’s not impossible," Zhang Fan said as he thought of something.
