Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

Arrived at the destination, walked through the corridor under the reception of the waiters, and came to the fourth floor of the restaurant. Today, Claire did not wear the mage robe uniformly issued by the academy, but a daily dress, an apricot-colored long trench coat, a gray broad Leg pants, a gold-rimmed spectacles on a fair cheek, a little intellectual in her elegance.

Elena approached slowly with her beautiful black silk legs, and sat on the wooden armchair opposite the woman. This was an open-air balcony surrounded by metal fences. Emerald green ivy climbed between the wall and the fence, and a few pink and white flowers The small flowers bloom quietly on it, occasionally blown by the breeze, and the flower branches sway.

Elena caressed the hem of the skirt, feeling the large shadow cast by the wide parasol, which effectively blocked the direct sunlight, and spoke with a slight smile.

"I thought that Professor Claire might be a bit rigid when dealing with medicinal materials every day, but I didn't expect that he would be so life-like."

The location of this meeting was well chosen. Not only is it an excellent viewing spot, the environment is suitable, but it also takes into account the privacy. The vines wrapped around it are a natural cover, and outsiders can't see the people above from the bottom.

Hearing Elena's praise, Claire lightly touched the frame of her glasses, her voice as flat as ever.

"If you want customers to buy it, you must first figure out what they need, and how to do business if you stand too far away from the buyer."

She knew how much the aristocratic ladies in the imperial capital liked to drink this cup of afternoon tea, even to the point of fanaticism that they had to drink tea even though they could not sleep in the afternoon nap.

Claire would occasionally conduct on-site inspections to understand the exact needs of the target group, and it happened that Elena was looking for her for something, so it would not be condescending to make an appointment here.

Before the start, Claire had already covered the entire fourth floor, and at the same time installed a silence barrier, so that their conversations would not be leaked out, let alone disturbed by blind people.

Elena bent her lips when she heard the words, and responded with a smile.

"It seems that I underestimated Professor Claire's dedication."

He was thinking about how to make money even after drinking afternoon tea, he really deserved to be someone from the Bulstrode family.

Doing business with such a person, Elena is both happy and worried. The happy thing is that Claire's business ability is absolutely excellent, and she won't lose money. The worry is that the other party is too willing to spend time on business. With this relationship, she might be wiped out by this good ally if she wasn't paying attention.

After a few simple greetings, Claire handed the menu to Elena, who ordered a black forest cake and a cup of black tea with milk, and then returned the menu to Claire.

"Aren't you going to order one for the two maids?" Claire took the menu and asked softly.

This afternoon's meeting was originally proposed by Eileen, but it turned out that Claire took the lead in arranging the venue and became the host. As a guest, it seemed inappropriate to order food for her subordinates.

Following noble etiquette, Elena didn't say this, but since Claire mentioned it now, she wouldn't be overly polite.

"Professor Claire wasted money today." Elena said.

After handing over the menu to Catherine, and letting her and Testia order according to their own taste, Elena looked at Claire in front of her, and slowly took out a stack of papers from her bag.

"Professor Claire's time is limited, so I won't go around in circles anymore. There is indeed one thing I want to ask for your opinion during this meeting, and I want to purchase a batch of commercial raw materials by the way."

Volume 134: Chapter 120, Chapter 4, Chapter [-], The Theme of the Overlord is Enduring ([-]k)

Looking at the parchment that Elena pushed over, Claire reached out to take it, carefully reading every line on it.

Today's recommended outfit is the daily outfit submitted by the princess of the empire, the third princess Elena...

Is this a clothing recommendation?

Eileen sat on the seat with her arms slanted, her legs crossed naturally, and the thin black silk on her knees showed a slight flesh color due to her movements.

Seeing the bright light reflected by Claire's glasses, and the blink rate that gradually slowed down as she read, Elena didn't make a sound, just waited patiently.

After a long time, Claire put down the parchment, her thin lips parted slightly.

"This is an article describing the style of dress, what does Her Highness Elena want to use it for?"

As a businessman, Claire's first thought was that Eileen was going to use this thing to do some commercial promotion. The latter was the jewel of the Callist Empire handpicked by the emperor and recognized by the public. She didn't even need to speak, she changed her clothes and went One stop outside is the best hanger.

"I'm going to use it to create momentum for the next fragrance sale."

Eileen lowered her head, her slender eyelashes covered her eyes, and the bright red crystal stone on her chest swayed slightly, reflecting a deep color in the sunlight

"Creating momentum?" Claire chewed silently several times, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"But Her Highness Elena never mentioned perfume in the whole article."

Rather than promoting perfume, this article is more like advocating how good the clothes produced by Le Linste Clothing Workshop are, just like any young and beautiful noble lady should have a few pieces from Le Linste Clothes House in her closet skirt.

"This is just a part of what I'm going to do next, not the whole picture." Elena whispered softly.

Tuqiong saw that at least there was a process of contributing pictures. No one made it clear that they wanted to make money as soon as they came up. In this first issue of the newspaper, Elena's idea was not to promote perfume, but to make a name first, create gimmicks, and stimulate consumers. needs and desire to buy, and then slowly advertise to gain popularity.

"I selected the target group as all nobles and wealthy businessmen in the entire empire, and created a light book for them that is released every half a month."

"The content inside is generally reviews of some rare jewelry, the latest trends in clothing, serialized stories and recent anecdotes that have happened across the country."

This monthly form of book sales has not yet been explored, and Elena is a pioneer in this line of work.

After hearing this, Claire raised the frame of the mirror thoughtfully, her gaze quietly falling on the girl's cheek.

Eileen's proposal seemed quite novel to her, at least in the entire history of the Callist Empire, Claire had never heard of such a deal.

"Her Highness Elena means to induce customers to buy this so-called booklet every half a month, and then use this booklet as a carrier for promoting perfume?"

The businessman's keen sense of smell quickly allowed Claire to figure out Elena's intentions, and she was deeply surprised by the other party's novel and genius idea.

As long as Eileen can really make most nobles willingly subscribe to books and periodicals, then no matter what kind of luxury goods she sells, she won't have to worry about publicity channels anymore.

"That's right, that's what I'm thinking right now."

Elena nodded, with a smile on her lips.

"I have also consulted my father, and he is supportive of this matter."

As soon as these words came out, most of the doubts that had just brewed in Claire's heart disappeared immediately.

In the business world, a novel idea with high feasibility can often lead to the rise of an entire industry, and as the originator of the idea, almost every pioneer can seize the opportunity to earn huge wealth from this uncultivated fertile soil .

Although Elena's proposal was novel, what surprised Claire the most was that the other party revealed the whole plan so bluntly. This kind of behavior undoubtedly gave the initiative to another person on the negotiating table .

Being able to take the lead will give her an absolute advantage. Claire doesn't think she is worthy of Elena's trust. In the business field, intrigue is the norm.

But now after listening to Elena's supplement, the woman suddenly understood why the former was so relieved. Cantor nodded his approval, which meant that the business had his official support behind him. After experiencing the fifth king of the Calliste Kingdom, The reform of power when Maurice Fercis proclaimed the emperor. Although the four dukes have most of the autonomy in their territories, many powers including legislation have been restricted by the imperial power, and they have lost their original status of being almost equal to the king. status.

It is obviously not a sensible move to have an unpleasant fight with the royal family of the Calliste Empire because of this business that is already regarded as an official and semi-arranged business. Elena must have seen this point, so she can safely talk to her about this, and also In the end, point out the attitude of Emperor Kanto for reminder and beating.

This Highness Elena is really much smarter than she imagined, no wonder she can come up with such a genius propaganda idea.

"Then what does Her Highness Elena need us to do?"

Combined with the commercial raw materials mentioned by Elena just now, Claire guessed that the other party wanted to purchase paper and ink for rubbing characters on a large scale, but if it was just such a small matter, she didn't need to talk about it alone, and arranged for servants It is enough to do it.

Could it be that Her Royal Highness Elena wanted the Bulstrode family to also participate in the sales of newspapers.

As expected, Elena made a soft sound.

"Professor Claire, I hope that you can temporarily take charge of the distribution and sales of newspapers."

Although Emperor Kantor has given her the green light, when it comes to commercial transportation and product dumping, members of the royal family may not be more useful than the Bulstrode family, which has been in business for hundreds of years. Elena needs the relatively mature experience of the latter. Propaganda means to build momentum for newspapers and periodicals.

"For the time being..." Claire repeated softly, raising her head to look at Elena.

"How long will it take?"

Such official newspapers and periodicals are indeed not suitable for long-term entrustment to other people to participate in, just like the Bulstrode family monopolized the empire's luxury goods industry, but they can't fully grasp things like coarse wheat and fine salt anyway. necessities of life.

At the beginning, the change from king to emperor changed far more than just the title of a leader, but also the entire power structure of the Calliste Empire. It cut off the teaching power of the Holy Light Sect in the empire, and the emperor commanded the four dukes. The lord achieved partial autonomy in his own territory, and the imperial power was nominally above everything else.

"Six months to a year, depending on the situation." Elena replied softly.

The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. In the early stage of product sales, there is no certain exposure and gimmicks. Just throw newspapers and periodicals at the post office, and the sales are guaranteed to explode.

After all, no one has the spare time to pay attention to an article that they have never seen.

"I don't know if Professor Claire has this intention?"

If Claire is unwilling to accept the deal, Elena also has a backup plan, but it will take more time and energy to prepare than now.

She has no clone, let alone a saint who does not need to rest for 24 hours. It is impossible to do everything by herself. Properly sharing part of the affairs with potential political partners in the future can not only reduce her own pressure, but also a deep-seated show of favor.

What's more, Elena is more than [-]% sure that Claire will not refuse this business. In the long run, although the Bulstrode family can't always enjoy the right to publish newspapers and periodicals, but now they sell themselves a favor , In the future, one more publicity channel out of thin air is absolutely beneficial and harmless.

To some extent, Elena has actually done another thing she has always wanted to do, which is to achieve a more intensive bundle of interests with the Bulstrode family. The last perfume sale was, this time The same is true for the distribution of newspapers and periodicals. The so-called accumulation and divergence form rivers and seas. The establishment of any alliance is the result of the joint action of countless chains of the same interests.

Looking at the delicate and elegant silver-haired princess in front of her, Claire pursed her lips and spoke slowly.

"Her Highness Elena's understanding of the general laws of business operations is far deeper than her peers..."

"I do have thoughts on that."

With Cantor as the backstage, they actually have to take very little risk. As long as the terms are negotiated properly, the business is basically a guaranteed profit.

Hearing Claire let go, the corners of Elena's lips rose slightly, and then the topic continued.

"There is still time, we can talk about specific cooperation matters and profit sharing."

After a discussion, it will be much easier to cooperate with this old friend in front of me. Since Claire is only responsible for post-production publicity and channel sales, she does not need to participate in the production of newspapers and periodicals. Elena will handle it, and the newspaper will be delivered to Claire at cost price after the newspaper is completed.

The final profit will be divided into [-] to [-]%, Elena to four to Claire and six to six, and some unsold newspapers and periodicals will be returned to Elena at the original price, and the logistics costs incurred during the period will also be borne by Elena.

At first glance, this transaction seems to be more in favor of the Bulstrode family, but the actual analysis is not necessarily the case.

Since Elena will purchase raw materials from Bulstrode, this step actually contains another piece of information secretly. The cost price of the product is closely related to Claire. If she provides first-hand raw materials, then the newspaper The price of finished products will also drop accordingly, thereby gaining more profit margins.

Let the acquirer control the cost by himself. Inflated pricing will lead to a decrease in the user's desire to buy, which will eventually affect the common interests of both parties. There is no need for contract constraints, and Claire knows what to do.

As for deliberately raising the price of raw materials, thinking of a quick meal, then it is not the Bulstrode family, but the rogue hooligans on the side of the road.

They are not so short-sighted.

After exchanging cooperation opinions, other business terms will be further divided after the finished products from Elena come out. The two just chatted casually for a few days, and the waiter pushed the small trolley upstairs and delivered the desserts and tea on the table.

Just as the conversation came to an end, Elena and Claire were a little thirsty from the discussion, and they raised their teacups to drink lightly.

Looking across the table at Princess Irene, who was always dignified and elegant even when drinking tea, Claire's eyes fell on her long silver-white hair unconsciously.

A black lace headband is quietly embellished, and the light green wind element flows on it, which is obviously made by her best friend Carlotta. After a while, Claire put down the tea and moistened her throat. Take the initiative to speak.

"I have heard some rumors that Her Highness Eileen has no talent, but now it seems that such rumors are simply nonsense."

From the making of the perfume that caught her eye, to the business meeting with Byron, and the ribbon-cutting of the factory later, Elena's words and deeds are not as arrogant as the rumors say, and she is not without any real talents. Pretty vase.

Especially the semi-monthly magazine proposed by the girl today, this publicity method that she had never imagined can be summed up in the word amazing.

Putting aside the traditional blunt promotion and changing to soft implantation, this idea alone is quite worth learning.

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, but I did not do well before, and I disappointed Sister Carlota." Elena replied softly.

Arrogant and domineering, disobedient to discipline, able to make a gentle person like Carlota angry, the original owner is quite accomplished in annoying people.

"By the way, Professor Claire, I still have a story to be serialized here. You can read it in advance and tell me your impressions after watching it."

In terms of understanding of these noble ladies, Claire, who has always regarded them as potential customers, may not know less than her.

"... Her Highness Elena wrote it herself?" Claire took the paper and asked softly.

Elena hesitated for a while when she heard the words, and admitted for a moment: "I wrote it, but I will use another name for subsequent publications."

Otherwise, she will be the editor, she will be the column writer, and she will be the novel contributor. It's not that Eileen is not confident, it's just that the typesetting looks a bit petty, and it doesn't match the aristocratic and small aristocratic market she is targeting.

Claire nodded after hearing this, and read word by word, her slender willow-leaf eyebrows first slightly furrowed, and then quickly stretched out.

"How does Professor Claire feel?" Elena asked her softly after taking a sip of black tea.

In Elena's opinion, the routines she uses may be old and lack new ideas for modern people, but at the end of the Middle Ages when there are no online novels serialized, those extremely tense and dramatic conflicts should be able to win the hearts of most people. eyeball.

Hearing Elena's voice, Claire looked away from the last sentence of the introduction, "She ran away, he chased, they couldn't fly", and said calmly.

"The opening and introduction should be very much to my niece's taste."

"His Highness Elena is going to give this...um...serial novel, what's the name?"

At least in Claire's view, this story will have a lot of appeal to those young girls who have just grown up and are in love.

After a while, Elena spit out a sentence expressionlessly.

""The Domineering Prince and the Peerless Favor of His Newly Married Escaped Wife."

.............

ps. The author's words: "She flees, he chases, they can't fly" comes from the love fairy tale novel "I don't like this world, I only like you".

Volume 135: Chapter 120, Chapter 4, Chapter [-], the Personal Maid Is Used to Do This ([-]k)

How to have excellent facial expression management skills is a compulsory course for every nobleman of the Calliste Empire. Even though she was so embarrassed that she felt hairy, Elena still had the tea-tasting attitude on the surface, with drooping eyelashes and pursed lips. Sipping lightly, her whole body exudes the noble temperament that belongs only to the princess of the empire.

And where Claire couldn't see, the girl's slender heels tapped the floor tiles lightly, and her snow-white and crystal-clear toes curled inward, almost tearing the toe of her socks.

This kind of title sounded embarrassing, even Eileen, who had always been calm, couldn't help feeling ashamed at this moment, and at the same time became more and more determined that she absolutely wanted to have a pen name.

Fortunately, Claire didn't react too much when she heard the words. She just felt that although the name sounded a bit unconventional at first glance, the meaning it wanted to express was very clear and in line with the content of the article. It should be the result of Princess Elena's deliberation.
