As he ate the drumstick in his hand, Lin Shu felt extremely emotional.
It was not easy. It had been two to three days since he came to this world, but this was the first time he ate meat.
After the meal, everyone went to sleep separately. Li Kai's outstanding professionalism did not make him forget to be vigilant. He arranged for everyone to take turns on duty.
The night passed without a word. The next morning.
"I'll go buy food. You guys take the opportunity to ask around where there are foreign devils.”
As he spoke, Lin Shu grabbed a wad of yen and put it in his pocket.
In China, the British pound, the US dollar, and the French yuan might not work well, but the Japanese yen was a hard currency comparable to gold and silver.
The battle had just ended, and the Japanese had successfully risen to the ranks of powerful countries. They began to wantonly build warships and show off their strength everywhere.
It wasn't until 2022 when the Washington Navy treaty was announced that he finally restrained himself a little.
Of course, ordinary people did not recognize the Japanese yen or the US dollar. To be exact, they did not recognize any illusory " waste paper."
They only believed in real money.
They didn't believe it, but the warlords and nobles were all after the yen.
On the way, he found a middle-aged lady dressed in extraordinary clothes. After exchanging dozens of dollars, Lin Shu went straight to a restaurant.
After buying a few roast chickens, dozens of meat buns, and fried meat and potatoes that were difficult to describe, he returned to the courtyard house.
"Eh?"
At the entrance of the courtyard house, Lin Shu saw two foreigners who were talking to Li Kai.
He immediately became vigilant and asked in confusion,"Who are they? What are you doing?"
When Li Kai saw Lin Shu return, he quickly went over to welcome him." They claim to be Germans. They came here to find the three Japanese and said that they have important business to discuss.”
"Oh? Business?" Lin Shu glanced at the two Germans, and his mind became active.
He was just thinking of where to find the foreigners to sell cigarettes.
At this moment, seeing that these two people were dressed in expensive clothes and were wearing gold and silver, they must not be ordinary people.
Why not try selling cigarettes to these two people?
At this thought, Lin Shu's face instantly broke into a smile. He took out a packet of incense from his pocket, lit it himself, and handed it to the two of them.
The two German men exchanged glances hesitantly. At first, they were a little confused, but when they lit up the cigarettes, their eyes suddenly lit up and they were full of interest.
" Thank you," the German thanked him in broken Chinese after he finished his cigarette.
"Excuse me, can I have another one?”
" Of course." Although their Chinese pronunciation was strange and vague, Lin Shu could still understand what they meant.
He threw the remaining cigarettes to them.
After the German took it, he looked at it as if it was a precious treasure. After a long time, he lit another one and took a big breath. He could not help but praise it loudly.
"Wow, what kind of cigarette is this? It's so exquisite, and the taste is also very good. It's strong but not piercing. Compared to it, the cigarettes we bought from Britain are like dog shit.”
"Damned Sun Never Sets people actually sold us 2 Empire Mark a pack of such rubbish cigarettes.”
The other German was cursing as he inhaled.
"Excuse me, where did you buy your cigarettes? I'm going to buy them all. They're the most perfect cigarettes I've ever smoked in my life.”
"Do you like it?" Seeing that they had taken the bait, Lin Shu was secretly delighted.
"Yes, I like it very much. I want to buy it in large quantities and give it to my friends and relatives.”The two Germans exchanged glances again.
"I made it myself. If you like it, we can talk.”
Lin Shu pushed open the door of the courtyard house and brought the two of them to the room where the cigarettes were stored. He waved his hands.
"These are all cigarettes. The ones you smoke are the lowest grade.”
As he spoke, Lin Shu opened a box of each of the three types of cigarettes for the two of them to try.
"Perfect!"
The two old smokers smoked a few cigarettes in a row and praised sincerely as they smoked.
"Did you really produce this yourself? My friend, this is amazing." A German glanced at the cigarettes in the room. His eyes were hot, and he could not hide his greed.
The other German was even more greedy and did not hide it at all.
The Empire had just experienced a defeat and its economy was in shambles. A large number of unemployed workers were wandering on the streets. If they were not settled, riots would definitely break out over time.
Everyone knew that unemployed workers needed to be relocated, but how?
This gave Carlson, the deputy chairman of the German Central Bank, a huge headache.
He had come to the Far East this time to do business with the only powerful country in the Eastern hemisphere to save the Empire's increasingly dilapidated economy.
He had already negotiated with the Japanese to transfer some of their warship technology in exchange for support, but he did not expect them to disappear at the last minute.
Carlson, who was already disappointed, immediately perked up when he saw the cigarette.
He guaranteed that this cigarette would defeat any tobacco company in the world and monopolize the global market of 20 million cigarettes.
He could not imagine how much profit this could bring.
Although cigarettes could not provide many jobs, they could bring a lot of money to the Empire. With money, the Empire naturally had countless ways to settle the unemployed workers.
"Can you tell us the production method? Friends, or sell it to us.”
Carlson asked anxiously.
Lin Shu smiled." Sorry, we only sell the finished product and do not provide technical support. Of course, this thing does not have any technical content. The tobacco is very important, and only I can plant it.”
"There are 500 packs of cigarettes in each box. I'll sell the white ones for 500 marks, the silver ones for 1000 marks, and the gold ones for 2000 marks.”
Carlson was disappointed again. Staring at the young man who was about the same age as his grandson, he took a few deep breaths and felt extremely helpless.
If they didn't sell it to you, you couldn't snatch it, right? Even if they did, there were only two people on their side, and the six or seven tall and burly men beside the other party were clearly not good people.
He couldn't buy it and couldn't snatch it, so he could only be helpless.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he was stopped by his colleague beside him." Sorry, my friend. Carlson and I need to go outside to discuss it.”
" Please go ahead," Lin Shu said with a smile.
He was very confident that the other party would be tempted and buy in large quantities.
Smokers understood how attractive a pack of good cigarettes was. As long as the other party was not a fool, they would be able to see the benefits.
If they bought it for one Mark per pack, they could sell it elsewhere for two or even three Mark per pack.
