Chapter 1191 Liu Yiwen's Pride
Good news kept coming in. Although there were some setbacks, the direction was right, and other problems could be easily solved.
As the discussion drew to a close, Ye Qiang asked, "Transportation costs are very high in the cities in the Midwest. Should we build another factory there?"
Liu Meilan thought for a moment, "Let's wait a bit longer! The western region is quite vast, and the road conditions aren't great. Sometimes the distances are quite long, and motorcycles are better suited to the local road conditions! Of course, we'll also deploy some electric bikes there to test the market!"
Ye Qiang nodded, "Great! If the response to the launch is very good, where do you plan to build this factory?"
Liu Meilan thought for a moment, "Is there even a need to choose? Even if my third brother's area can't take on this electric vehicle project, the city should have the necessary supporting facilities!"
Ye Qiang laughed, "I knew it would be like this!"
Liu Meilan replied, "There are cheaper factories and cheaper labor there! So setting up a factory there is very advantageous! At least for the next thirty years, the output value of electric vehicles will continue to increase!"
Liu Yiwen nodded, "Okay! I'll keep this in mind and check out that area later! I'll also talk to Lao San and try to find a more suitable place."
Liu Meilan glanced at her watch. "It's time to get off work. I need to go home!"
Liu Yiwen raised an eyebrow, "You're going back in the dark again?"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Of course! It's much faster than a public transport boat!"
Liu Yiwen frowned, "It's not safe at night!"
Liu Meilan laughed heartily, "Look at the traffic situation during peak hours now, the sea is much safer than the road! What's more, we travel back and forth frequently and have already found a very safe shipping route! There are no obstacles and no ship jams!"
Ye Qiang was amused. "What Meilan said seems to make sense! The sea is so vast, there's definitely no problem with ships getting stuck!"
Liu Yiwen stroked his chin. "Should I buy a helicopter? We could fly directly from our company rooftop to the island!"
Liu Meilan looked on with envy, "How about the safety?"
Liu Yiwen blinked. "It should be safe, right? I've never heard of a plane crash!"
Hearing this, Ye Qiang rolled his eyes. "There weren't many planes before! Especially in the civilian sector, it's normal not to have heard of them! Although I don't want to say anything discouraging, I think ships at sea are safer than planes in the air! Even if there's a problem, holding onto a lifebuoy or an inflatable boat increases the chances of escape!"
Hearing this, Liu Yiwen shuddered. "That's true! Being in the air, neither touching the ground nor the sky, may save some time, but the survival rate in case of danger is not very high!"
Liu Meilan said with a smile, "Goodbye, Second Brother! Goodbye, Ye Qiang!"
"Don't forget to let me know when you get home!" Liu Yiwen instructed.
Liu Meilan nodded, "I wish you and your second sister-in-law a happy and fulfilling life together!"
Liu Yiwen was a little embarrassed when his younger sister teased him, "You're so disrespectful, you're actually telling your older brother what to do!"
Liu Meilan packed her things, slung her bag over her shoulder, and strode away.
The bodyguards were ready. As soon as Liu Meilan got into the car, they drove smoothly out of the underground parking lot and headed straight for the dock.
I was lucky today. I was only stuck in traffic for two minutes, and when I got to the pier, it wasn't even 7 o'clock yet!
Once aboard the yacht, the staff had prepared a simple yet nutritious dinner.
Liu Meilan listened to the news while eating. After finishing her meal, Liu Meilan couldn't sit still any longer.
With her fishing rod in hand and bait on, Liu Meilan began fishing!
Although it was only half an hour, Liu Meilan caught several good fish. Seeing the fresh fish, the people behind her were in a particularly good mood.
Liu Yiwen made a reservation and picked up Wang Miaoxiang to go out for dinner.
Wang Miaoxiang noticed that only Liu Yiwen was there. "Where's Meilan?"
Liu Yiwen held Wang Miaoxiang's hand and they walked into the restaurant together. "Ye Qiang has something to do, and Meilan is rushing home too! Come on, let's just have dinner together tonight!"
Wang Miaoxiang's face flushed slightly. "Okay, you arrange dinner tonight, and I'll make the arrangements after we get home!"
Liu Yiwen didn't understand the implication; his mind was on the two children. "Where are Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang?"
Wang Miaoxiang replied, "At home, the kids are much easier to take care of now that they're older! They have plenty to eat and drink, and their older siblings play with them, so they don't cause any trouble at all! It's just that they wear out clothes quickly; their clothes are worn out in just a week or two! I even wonder if they have nails growing out of their butts, because they can even wear holes in jeans!"
Thinking of his two mischievous sons, Liu Yiwen laughed heartily, "Boys are like that, it's good that they're a little naughty! As long as they can distinguish right from wrong, we don't need to worry about anything else! We don't need to worry about our clothes wearing out quickly either, we can just buy more. Even if they're all designer brands, we can afford them!"
Wang Miaoxiang shook her head. "You absolutely mustn't buy clothes for the child. The price of that one piece of clothing you bought is enough to buy the child a whole season's worth of clothes! It's expensive, and the quality is just so-so. In the end, it still wears out after only a week or two! Since that's the case, there's absolutely no need to buy those brand-name clothes, especially those foreign brands!"
Wang Miaoxiang has a very simple view on consumption; she just wants her children to be dressed healthily and comfortably. Those brand-name clothes may look nicer and more fashionable, but their quality simply doesn't justify their price.
Liu Yiwen laughed and said, "Okay, you decide how to raise the kids! Boys should indeed be raised frugally when they are young. Children raised in a more relaxed manner are not as lively and energetic as those raised more freely!"
Wang Miaoxiang wholeheartedly agreed, "That's true! The children on our island are all growing up so well..."
The couple walked and talked about things on the island, and the atmosphere between them became more harmonious.
They have a child together, which will be the focus of their lives for the next few decades. Even the smallest things about their child can resonate with them.
They went to a quiet Western restaurant and ordered a Western meal.
Wang Miaoxiang tried the steak and pizza and thought they tasted pretty good. Although she might not be able to accept eating them every day, it was nice to have a little bit every now and then.
Wang Miaoxiang had a very good appetite and finished her portion.
Liu Yiwen asked, "Are you full?"
Wang Miaoxiang replied, "I'm about 80% full, but this is enough for dinner!"
The two returned to the residential area, where pedestrians and vehicles were separated. Children were running and chasing each other, and some people were pushing strollers with their babies for a walk.
Wang Miaoxiang observed her surroundings and said, "The community environment is really nice. Pedestrians and vehicles are separated, the ground is very safe, and people have more space to move around, especially for children!"
Liu Yiwen replied, "This was Meilan's idea. Whether it's bicycles, motorcycles, or cars, they should all be parked in the underground garage! The space above ground belongs entirely to the residents!"
