SFS Chapter 232: Princess Xiang Quanneng?
Chapter 232: Princess Xiang Quanneng?
The servants rearranged the dishes. Lin Yue always followed the habit of having a good brunch and a simple dinner, so the breakfast prepared by the small kitchen was very rich.
There are crab roe dumplings, red bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, fried noodles, steamed spare ribs and other staple foods, meats, proteins, and vegetables.
Song Min ate a bit politely at first, mainly because he noticed Ye Yin's constant glances at him. There was something in those eyes, a look that seemed to have something in it, yet nothing at all, which made him a little uneasy. But as he ate, he relaxed, wanting to finish quickly and get down to business. Gradually, he became less polite. Seeing that they were both almost finished, perhaps realizing he was eating too slowly, he devoured the food like a whirlwind.
Song Min not only has an excellent business mind, he is also very good at observing and thinking about people. After all, he came from the Eastern Palace and is now Fan Haihua's external representative. He has long been familiar with Ye Yin and Lin Yue's temperaments. Therefore, after letting go in front of them, he no longer feels any pressure. He is quite comfortable and has a more free and easy nature.
After having their fill, the three of them went to the flower hall to chat.
Song Min took out the results of his two days' work, two manuscripts.
"I've been thinking about a lot of things these past two days. First, I've been reviewing the existing street market. Thanks to your suggestions, I've come up with some new ideas. I've written them down for your guidance. Secondly, I've drawn up the design for the shop, and I'd like your review."
Lin Yue took it and read his manuscript first. She was more and more amazed at his talent. He understood it immediately. People like him must be the ones who are extremely talented!
In just a short period of time, he was able to give him so much to think about. It has to be said that excellent people have good brains.
"Mr. Song is amazing!"
"As for the idea of 'bringing together various industries in one place, allowing each to leverage its strengths,' my understanding and thinking suggests that existing street markets also have this characteristic, but they're too scattered, making it difficult to gather people. If we use a single point as the center and then expand outward, for example, our shop already offers a comprehensive service combining dining, rest, and shopping, then other areas can do the same, and even better!"
Song Min pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "I understand. If a place next to a college can meet the many needs of students at the same time, wouldn't that be considered an integrated service?"
Lin Yue praised, "Yes, this way we can gradually form a business district, and there can be countless such business districts!"
"Business district..."
Not only Song Min, but even Ye Yin who was listening was pondering these two words. It was a very fresh way of saying it.
"Our shop's starting point is this: when you're shopping and want to eat something, you have to walk two blocks to get something to eat. When you don't want to shop anymore and want to have some fun, you have to go to a special place. A perfect business district should be a place that integrates entertainment, leisure, food, and shopping, meeting people's different needs. You don't have to walk too far to enjoy everything!"
"And this point, I think you're truly genius! We absorb new ideas but can't negate what's already there. That means innovating while developing, making incremental changes based on what's already there! Only then can we integrate better and faster. Otherwise, if we move too quickly, we'll fail."
Lin Yue was a little excited when looking at the note in her hand, and even her words sounded a little uncertain, unconsciously bringing out her old official tone!
Song Min was thrilled to have her idea recognized and praised. After hearing Lin Yue explain it so clearly, she was even more convinced! This statement! This summary! It was spot-on! Absolutely spot-on!
Ye Yin's eyes also had stars in them, knowing that his wife was extraordinary. She could invent the meteor crossbow, had superb medical skills, and possessed a powerful secret. He didn't expect that Yu Shangdao and his party were also so proficient!
What is there that I don’t know!
Oh my god! Did I marry a princess who is good at everything?
He even thought that as long as Lin Yue was willing, there was nothing she couldn't do!
If she is given a chance, can she overthrow the Great Qi Dynasty?
"Princess...Princess, you've summarized it perfectly. I really admire you. This experience has left a huge shock on me. I feel we still have a lot of room for improvement in the development of the street market!"
Lin Yue smiled, feeling incredibly emotional, as if she'd been transported back to a certain meeting moment! This feeling was truly unique!
She looked at the design drawings drawn by Song Min again. She saw that these ancient people had amazing writing skills. They could draw such exquisite designs with just a brush, and even add pictures to them. It was really pleasing to the eye!
Even the carvings on the door were painted meticulously, down to every layout and arrangement, where to put what flowers, where to put what bonsai, all were drawn with a brush.
"Well, it's quite good. It's similar to what I originally envisioned, and even more refined. Look here..."
Lin Yue made a few suggestions and talked about the function. Song Min wrote them down one by one. He subconsciously rolled up his sleeves to get a pen to make some changes. When he got nothing, he remembered that this was not his study. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Ye Yin had someone bring in a desk with all the four treasures of the study on it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Song Min immediately started to make revisions according to Lin Yue's suggestions.
Lin Yue looked at her husband with admiration. What a strong insight and thoughtful service!
In fact, what Ye Yin was thinking was that after making the changes on the spot, Song Min could visit his own princess less twice. The two of them spoke as if they had met each other too late. Although he knew it was about the shop, he still felt uncomfortable.
"If Lao Guo were here, he would definitely be amazed! Hehe, from now on, I will be one step ahead of him! Hahahaha..."
An hour later, Song Min finished his work and left the Southwest Palace with the finished drawings, feeling satisfied.
Now that the blueprints are ready, the next step is to find someone to fix it. There are so many other things to do! Everything is important, like finding some special craftsmen and embroiderers, and even asking Lao Guo for help!
By the way, I also boasted to him and made him jealous. Just thinking about his jealous and envious look made Song Min feel refreshed!
He and Guo Huaiyuan are brothers in the same school. They are not only capable counselors, but also the servants besides their masters.
The two of them set out together and came to the capital together. After some investigation, he chose the sixth prince who had not yet been crowned king, and Guo Huai chose the fourth prince.
Unfortunately, although the Fourth Prince was one of the most likely candidates to be named the Crown Prince, his temperament was fickle. Initially, he respected Guo Huai very much and was very receptive to advice. If he had followed Guo Huai's plan, he would have had the hope of being named the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, he was ultimately ruined by his character.
On the other hand, the Sixth Prince, although weak and kind-hearted, paid great attention to the training of his subordinates and knew how to use people well, especially when he chose the girl from the Fan family as the Crown Princess. Whenever Song Min thought about this, she felt that it was the most correct thing he had done.
The Sixth Prince is kind but not hypocritical, and certainly not foolishly kind!
He knew how to be patient, and he was extremely strict with himself in terms of character, even choosing a wife to be faithful to.
