Chapter 205 Dress and Lipstick

After the weapons display, Lin Liuyi thought it was over.

What did she see? What was that whooshing in from afar?

Foreign journalists started to panic, shouting that the plane had crashed while continuing to film with their cameras.

Just when they thought the planes would crash into the city wall, they heard a "bang" and three things that looked like airplanes came to a stop right in front of the city gate.

Sure enough, Lin Liuyi was right; their country had actually developed mechs.

After a brief moment of calm, the crowd erupted in cheers!

Now it was the foreign friends' turn to feel embarrassed, but they couldn't care less about their earlier embarrassment and craned their necks to see if the mecha was real.

Lin Liuyi quietly looked at the giant mecha standing silently in front of him, while comparing it to his own mecha in his mind.

Its metallic shell gleams with a cold luster, its lines are hard yet smooth, as if pieced together from fragments of stars, every contour telling of power and majesty.

The color scheme, reminiscent of the five-starred red flag, adds a touch of life to this steel behemoth and reduces some of the fear.

The mecha is tall and broad, standing tens of meters high, resembling a mobile steel fortress.

The cockpit at the head is like the intelligent eye of the mecha; under the transparent cover, a complex instrument panel and operating interface flash.

The shoulder armor, like a giant shield, is thick and sturdy, engraved with mysterious patterns that seem to contain ancient technological power.

Its arms are thick and powerful, and the mechanical joints rotate flexibly, emitting a deep rumble. The weapon system on its hands can switch instantly.

The leg design balances power and speed; the massive feet can not only firmly tread on any terrain, but also crush any obstacle in its path.

At this moment, three of the mechs slowly opened their hatches, and three upright soldiers stepped out.

After they came to a stop, they gave a standard military salute to the crowd and then greeted the leaders and fellow countrymen.

After the report was completed, the three mechs simultaneously launched a series of cool skill demonstrations.

They can perform a variety of difficult maneuvers with agility, such as backflips, fistfights, and transforming flight.

Each skill left the foreign friends speechless, their eyes filled with amazement and envy.

When the demonstration ended and the mechs returned, the crowd lingered, reluctant to leave, their excitement and pride lingering for a long time.

Lin Liuyi commented: "Not as good as the one in her social media profile."

However, it was truly remarkable that the country was able to develop this in such a short time. Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, as he had initially disagreed with the experts bringing out the mecha.

After all, their mechs can't fight in space like interstellar fighters, and their flight altitude is limited. But everyone wanted to show off China's current strength, so they rushed to build three, and they look pretty good now.

Lin Liuyi didn't participate after that because the system told her that Hu Die had come to find her.

However, she didn't forget to ask Zhou Zheng to send over the complete video later, as she also wanted to show it to Chen Ergou.

"You want to open a tailor shop?" Lin Liuyi was still a little confused as to how the conversation had suddenly turned to opening a shop.

Then Hu Die revealed the reason: didn't Lin Liuyi encourage her to wear Western clothes and liberate herself last time?

Hu Die visited the foreign firm several times with several ladies and found that the firm's business was quite good, but she only thought it was good.

No one expected that it was the second wife who first proposed this idea. She also took a liking to this business, so she came to Hu Die. The other wives also agreed.

"I've done some more research and I think making Western-style dresses is quite good. I've also seen the Second Madam's craftsmanship; she can replicate the original designs pretty much perfectly. As for the fabric, the Fourth Madam says she has connections," Hu Die said, her eyes sparkling.

Lin Liuyi, however, thought it wouldn't work, "I'm afraid this won't work?"

"Why? I saw that the Western-style dresses made by the Second Madam were just as beautiful." Now it was Hu Die's turn to be puzzled.

“The important thing is not the Western-style dress, but that those things are from abroad,” Lin Liuyi told her earnestly.

Hu Die was a smart woman, and she immediately understood what Lin Liuyi meant.

Isn't the silk and other fabrics from their country better than those used for Western-style clothing? Yet people still prefer to buy Western-style clothing, partly to enhance their status and partly because they feel that foreign goods are better than domestic ones.

Hu Die was suddenly a little discouraged. She didn't know how to tell those ladies. Just a few days ago, they were excitedly discussing how many Western-style dresses they wanted to make, and they had even chosen a shop.

Seeing this, Lin Liuyi comforted him, "Actually, there are other ways."

Hu Die's eyes lit up again. "What method?"

"What I mean is, trading companies don't just make Western clothes, they also make lipsticks and stuff, have you noticed? You could make that!"

A certain domestic brand of lipsticks and eyebrow pencils sells very well here!

"Many ladies do buy this," Hu Die recalled that a small tube cost several tens of silver dollars, but then she became worried.

"We don't know how to do that!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the production line. As for the raw materials, you'll have to procure them yourself," Lin Liuyi said, patting his chest.

Hu Die felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, wondering if it was too much trouble for Lin Liuyi. "How about this, Liuyi, you can have a share of the shop too!"

Hu Die thought this was a good idea, because she could give Lin Liuyi a share of the profits as a tip.

"Okay, here's the prescription. Go and prepare it on your end. By the way, you have the funds for the purchase, right?" Although Lin Liuyi wasn't short of money, she gladly accepted the offer since the other party was willing to give it to her.

"Don't worry, the six of us have the funds ready for procurement!" Hu Die assured her repeatedly when this was mentioned.

Without further ado, the two logged off and went about their own business.

Lin Liuyi naturally approached Princess Mingyue to set up the production line; everyone knows how fast interstellar speeds can be.

Hu Die approached several other ladies, and after hearing this, everyone hesitated.

"Sister, we don't know how to do this!" The second madam hesitated. She could make clothes, but she had no confidence in making something as expensive as lipstick.

At this moment, the sixth wife, Lin Wanqing, raised her hand, indicating that she knew a little bit.

"Really? Wanqing! You can do this too?" Everyone looked at her expectantly. After all, they had originally planned to make money together. The dress shop was gone, but now a lipstick shop had appeared. Hu Die was so confident, so everyone wanted to give it a try.

Lin Wanqing suppressed her unease and said that she used to work with a friend making rouge and face powder, so these things should be similar.

Hu Die immediately made the decision and let her try it first.
