Chapter 248 S Repair Shop
Jiang Yu was deeply moved by Lu Shuang's sincere and heartfelt confession.
On this otherworldly continent, she not only found the truest love, but also gained exceptionally precious friendships.
Jiang Yu didn't say much, but simply held Lu Shuang's hand tightly.
"Ah, then you'll definitely be attending next year's Partner Selection Conference!" Lu Shuang exclaimed. "If you want to give Mr. Moya a legitimate identity, you have to go through the Partner Selection Conference process, right?"
That's right. Although there are many men and women who have been intimate and dating before marriage, according to the laws of the Empire, they must participate in a partner selection conference to formally confirm their status.
Therefore, women are generally very cautious. Even in premarital relationships, they usually choose men whose status matches or is higher than their own. The empire's selection process is very fair; if you can't even get into the top fifty, it means you have no chance at all.
This is why it took Chen Xin so much effort to arrange an identity for Zhong Qin. It's not difficult to fabricate a commoner's identity, but it would cost a lot of money to fabricate a minor noble's identity.
"Yes, I'll participate next year." Jiang Yu asked curiously, "And you, are you going to participate?"
"Well, actually I wanted to participate. In my opinion, I should just finish choosing my five partners as soon as possible."
"That way, everyone becomes my partner at almost the same time, so there's no need to distinguish between first and last, everyone can compete fairly, and my heart won't always be in my throat."
Lu Shuang frankly said, "There's no need to get involved in this mess of partner selection meetings anymore. Just get along well with them, choose the one you like the most, and have children with him."
"The remaining two positions are a matter for the Empire."
That's a very insightful idea. Jiang Yu glanced at Lu Shuang with some surprise. Everyone says Lu Shuang is carefree and simple-minded, but she's actually quite wise.
"And what about you, Xiaoyu?" Lu Shuang opened her eyes wide, looking like a delicate and charming kitten. "Besides Mr. Moya, will you also choose another partner next year?"
"Probably not." Moya is unique, and at least the mating ceremony should make him feel valued.
Fan Qingyin arrived home in the afternoon.
It seems that she was the only one who forgot about Lu Shuang and the others' presence today, and Jiang Yu felt a little embarrassed.
Fan Qingyin's striking red hair truly startled Lu Shuang and his wife. After a closer look, and seeing that even his eyes had turned blood red, Lu Shuang stammered, unable to speak clearly.
"God... Divine messenger... How did you become like this?" Good heavens, something terrible must have happened!
"Oh, it's nothing serious. There was a slight error when researching the magic array. It just changed color, but it doesn't affect my normal life." Fan Qingyin's eyes flashed as she spoke gently.
Lu Shuang was about to say something when Lan Yu subtly pulled her back, smiling as he continued, "As long as it doesn't affect your health, it's fine. Before, the Divine Envoy looked ethereal and aloof, but now with red hair and red eyes, it suits you very well. It's a different kind of elegance, truly extraordinary."
Lu Shuang looked at her husband with admiration. "Wow, he's really good with words. How can he say such nice things? I'm quite impressed."
Lan Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and gently pinched the soft flesh on his wife's arm.
Next came the enjoyment of the guests and hosts. When Fan Qingyin returned to her room to change, a lavish banquet had already been set out, and the invited noble ladies arrived one after another with their husbands.
Mrs. Halbus was seated at the head of the table, right next to her masters. She was all smiles and dressed in fine clothes, with her serious husband, the head of the Halbus family, sitting beside her.
Mr. Halbus and his brother looked alike, but compared to his brother's plump and amiable appearance, he was thin and serious, and had an extraordinary air about him.
With the lady's help in making connections, the Halbus family was able to gain exposure before the lord, which clearly made him very happy.
During the meal, Jiang Yu introduced Mr. and Mrs. Halbus to Lu Shuang and then casually mentioned the trade fair he was preparing for.
Lu Shuang and Lan Yu's families were originally noble families who came from merchant backgrounds, and both were imperial carriage carriers, so they were obviously very interested in Jiang Yu's proposal.
Lu Shuang immediately decided to send merchants from his own territory to open shops here, and also planned to have his family's collateral branches come and join in the fun.
"Shuangshuang, your two families specialize in making carriages. Not to mention those exclusively for the royal family, the design and manufacture of many carriages for the common people are also closely related to your two families."
"Carriages are consumables. Whether they are privately owned by nobles or used for public transportation, they often break down. Most repairs are piecemeal. Except for high-ranking nobles who have dedicated craftsmen to repair carriages, most people just try to fix them themselves. This not only shortens the lifespan of the carriages, but in my territory alone, there have been occasional incidents of injuries and travel delays caused by carriages breaking down on the way."
Jiang Yu said a lot in one breath, which was a sudden idea she came up with after meeting Lu Shuang and Lan Yu.
“Oh my god, Xiaoyu, your mother said the same thing to you, especially in the sky or at sea. If the carriage has a problem, it’s a very dangerous thing. Your mother has always been worried about this. She can only keep a close eye on it and strive for perfection in the quality of the carriage.”
"She also set a timeframe for each model to be returned to the factory for inspection and repair. Xiaoyu, do you have a better idea?" Not only Lu Shuang, but even Lan Yu sat up straight, looking very serious.
"Your mother is truly remarkable," Jiang Yu praised sincerely. She prioritized the safety of the carriage above all else and even considered that regular inspections could prevent many dangers. She truly deserves her reputation as the renowned matriarch of the family.
“But with so many vehicles, it would be a huge burden for you to have them all taken to your family’s vehicle manufacturing site for inspection on a regular schedule. On the other hand, many people might not even go through this process after the vehicles leave the factory, because they find it troublesome.”
“That’s right!” Lu Shuang said. “Many people are afraid of trouble, so they just check the carriages themselves for convenience. But they don’t understand some of the delicate parts and can’t find them at all.”
"So is it possible that you could set up some repair shops and inspection points in some important towns and train specialized mechanics to manage them? That way, everyone can go to the nearest one." Jiang Yu thought of modern brand 4S stores.
"In this way, the private repairmen of the noble families can also go for further training and update their skills in a timely manner. Other vehicles can also be inspected and properly repaired in a timely manner."
"This actually aligns very well with my current ideas about business models. My previous ideas were all about chain stores for finished goods and the like. Seeing you made me realize that your business could also be chained together."
"Isn't the purpose of commerce to make our lives more convenient?" Jiang Yu said, looking sincerely at Lu Shuang after offering her opinion.
Lu Shuang clearly understood, and both she and Lan Yu were extremely excited.
"Wow, this sounds absolutely feasible! I think this idea is fantastic! I'll tell my mother about it when I get back this time!"
Lan Yu also said that she would write to her family to discuss this idea.
