Chapter 174: Big and Small
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
In this world, one of the most unfair relations ought to be the one between the buyer and the seller.
If it wasn’t you begging to buy, then it was I begging to sell.
Under normal circumstances, 99% of store owners were all begging clients to buy. However, those that had real abilities and had a choke hold on the market, were all being begged to sell.
Ye Qing of course belonged in the second category, hence when he got out of the parked car, Ding Yin was already waiting with warm tea and thirst quenching fruits.
“President Ye, you finished it so quickly.” Ding Yin had the head of the camera team come over from the filming.
“With the already existing 3D model, it’s naturally quick.” Seeing how polite and welcoming Ding Yin was, Ye Qing was very happy and quickly commented: “Director, go finish your work, anyone’s fine to welcome me.”
“How can that be. You personally making the trip, how can I not personally welcome you.” Ding Yin signed for Ye Qing to have a seat. On the table in front of them was a plate of just opened watermelon, some frozen lychees, and a laptop.
The expression Ding Yin had was that of anticipation, even while eating the watermelon he still had a smile, as if waiting for Ye Qing to pull out a USB key.
Ye Qing first tasted the watermelons, then awkwardly said: “Director Ding, this watermelon isn’t sweet at all!”
The watermelon’s not sweet?
This watermelon was actually not sweet. The watermelons gifted by the nearby farmers were all half ripe, but he wasn’t here to sell watermelons!
Ding Yin’s mind went blank for a second there. He couldn’t keep up with Ye Qing’s train of thought at all.
“Heha ~ this was all brought from the nearby farms.” Ding Yin faintly pointed towards the village far away: “It’s just too damn hot to simply film outside during summer. Luckily there are watermelon farmers nearby, so the crew had them bring a couple hundred pounds over everyday. Some good, some bad, we never paid much attention.”
“President Ye, why don’t you try these lychees. Specially purchased from town.”
“Uh ~ it’s like this.” Ye Qing quickly came out with the reason why he was questioning the watermelons: “I have a junior living in the village right next to the highway entrance. Her watermelons aren’t bad at all. You can have her deliver them, guaranteed to be both ripe and sweet.”
“Her name’s Yu Sisi. Her family’s not doing so well, so I’m just trying to give her a little help.”
“Xiao Liu!” Ding Yin called out to his near by assistant: “Go and tell the purchasing team to go to the village near the highway, and look for a girl called Yu Sisi. From now on, we’ll order all the watermelons from her. If her family has any produce, buy it as well, it’ll be nice change of taste.”
“Thanks director. You can buy it at market value, no need to give her special treatment.”
Ye Qing, having finished, turned around to take a look, but the seven heavy trailers still hadn’t arrived.
Six of them were transporting the six sections of the ship, and the other one was carrying a shrunk version, intended for filming the landing scenes.
No heavy trailers, of course meant no product.
“President you’re too polite. Without your help, there’s no way our film could be like this.”
Ding Yin couldn’t contain himself anymore, so after a bit of small talk, he got to the point on how the model looked after the tweaks.
“The real thing isn’t here yet, but we can start with the fixed 3D model.” Ye Qing thought that since he was so anxious, then he could buy some time with the virtual model.
Opening up the file within the USB key, Ding Yin hurriedly immersed himself in the model in front of the computer.
He completely ignored Ye Qing’s first part of the sentence — The product hasn’t arrived yet.
This was the 3D drawing of the shrunk spaceship taken by the 3D camera.
The director, while hiding from the sunlight, quickly operated the mouse.
“President, this…… this…… this is just too incredible.” Ding Yin was visibly shaken: “This is still the first time I’ve ever seen something so precise.”
“Look, if I were to enlarge it. Even the blades within the engines at the back can be seen clearly. And the design of the interior, every single detail can be clearly felt, this is simply……”
