Not far to the west of Nanjing, a large number of cruise ships were moving down the Yangtze River. Zhang Yushu stood on the bow of the front ship with his hands behind his back. Now he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Mingxuan sent him

His errand was finally completed.

In order to transfer the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing faster, Lu Mingxuan sent him to Wuhan and other cities on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to recruit foreign Japanese ships to transport refugees to Nanjing. For this reason, he offered a price for transporting one person. This price was absolutely sky-high in normal times.

But even so he only managed to recruit a small number of ships, which made him very disappointed.

Although money is a good thing for those foreign ship owners, the risk of this business is too great. What if their ship is blown up by a Japanese plane? They may even lose their lives by then!

For this reason, he had to come up with another thing, which was the agency rights for stockings.

Lu Mingxuan has always believed that making money from Chinese people is not a skill, but making money from foreigners is.

He has been thinking about how to maximize profits with the least consumption, so he launched his first blockbuster, that is - stockings!

Silk stockings, which were very cheap in later generations, were very expensive during World War II. Their status was so important that they were known as women's second skin, and their invention was even known as the "skin on women's legs".

revolution.

In 1939, stockings made of nylon fiber were unveiled at the New York World's Fair, which immediately triggered a buying frenzy among women. A store selling stockings even had its window smashed, causing several women to faint on the spot.

According to relevant information, the first batch of nylon stockings went on sale on May 5, 1940. More than 70,000 pairs were sold in one day.

Even Chanel, the later mother of fashion, formulated an iron rule: Don’t go out without socks, and don’t go out without a hat.

Soon after World War II broke out, nylon was classified as military supplies, and stockings production was paralyzed. After the Pearl Harbor incident, the black market price of a pair of stockings had reached 3,000-4,000 US dollars.

At that time, the monthly salary of an American worker was not more than a dozen US dollars. The purchasing power of US$3,000 was at least equivalent to 2 million RMB today. Just imagine that a woman could spend 2 million RMB for a pair of silk stockings, and you will know that women at that time were very interested in silk stockings.

How crazy.

There was even a survey during World War II on what women wanted most, and 2/3 of the women chose "nylon stockings." Only 1/3 chose "men." It can be seen that if they had a choice, they would rather choose stockings than men.

And now Lu Mingxuan has all kinds of stockings in his hands, some black and some flesh-colored. As long as he can sell these stockings to the United States, he can make almost all the wealth of American women.

When Zhang Yushu saw a picture of an alluring white woman wearing stockings for the first time. Even though he was a man who didn't understand amorous feelings, he was shocked by the stockings.

This must be a gift from God to women!

This is Zhang Yushu's first impression of stockings.

When he showed the foreign captains a colorful printed book with various beautiful white women wearing stockings, they were so surprised that they burst out laughing!

Almost everyone grabbed those beautifully printed brochures as fast as they could, and then they began to look through the printed brochures with lewd looks.

But they soon realized that this was big business!

This is a very big business!

This is a bigger deal than all the deals they have ever done combined!

Even men like them like stockings so much, not to mention those women who can endure a thousand cuts for their beauty!

They will go crazy and spend all their money to buy these stockings!

Almost all boat owners have come to this conclusion!

In order to obtain the agency rights for silk stockings in their countries, many foreign Japanese ship owners agreed to Zhang Yushu's request.

Someone has said that as long as there is a profit of 100, people will ignore all laws. With a profit of 300, people will not be afraid of crime. They are not even afraid of the danger of hanging, not to mention that this may be tens of millions of dollars in profit.

Woolen cloth.

At this time, there was a big-nosed foreigner in a suit and tie standing next to Zhang Yushu. He was the owner of the ship—a French-American named Charlie.

At this time, Charlie was gently stroking a black, long, soft, and elastic stocking in his hand with a lustful look on his face.

He felt that what he was touching was not a stocking, but a mountain of gold! A mountain of silver! A mountain made of green dollar bills!

Yesterday, Zhang Yushu took them to a white gathering area in order to prove the sales of stockings.

When those white women saw these beautiful stockings and printed books, they almost went crazy.

They surrounded Zhang Yushu and these stockings, and asked to buy these stockings one after another.

But the price offered by Zhang Yushu put them off because he offered a pair of US$50.

Damn it! That’s $50! What are your stockings made of that are worth that much?

Almost all the white women looked at Zhang Yushu with great hatred!

But when a white woman reluctantly took out her three months' salary to buy a pair of stockings, others went crazy and started buying up the remaining stockings, fearing that they would not be enough and would be taken away by others.

In the end, the women who bought the stockings left here with joy and heartache, and at the same time they kept cursing Zhang Yushu, the damn vampire!

Silk stockings are the most beautiful gift given by God to women, but now this gift has been used by this shameless villain to rob women of their property.

Those who did not buy stockings kept chasing Zhang Yushu to ask if he still had stockings, and a few even hinted that if he did, they could have a super-friendship relationship with him.

This, of course, made the wretched foreign captain drool. Some of the foreign captains even took out the stockings samples given to them by Zhang Yushu.

After some beautiful white women accepted these gifts, they abandoned Zhang Yushu with those shameless foreign captains and began to look for a place to study human physiological structure.

Charlie was certainly impressed when he saw this. These stockings are indeed something that can make a lot of money.

Looking at Charlie Zhang Yushu, who looked lustful, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Dear Mr. Zhang, I wonder how your production of these stockings is?" Charlie said to Zhang Yushu.

"The annual output is at least several million pairs. You can rest assured in terms of output. This is just our most conservative estimate." Zhang Yushu said with a smile.

Of course, a few million pairs is a very conservative estimate. This thing is like the iPhone in later generations. If it is too much, it will be worthless. In order to make the stockings a luxury product like the iPhone, Lu Mingxuan has no intention of fully producing these stockings.

"It's really a very good thing. Do you think you can hand over the agency rights of the entire United States to me? You must know that I have always been the best friend of the Chinese people, and I have always worked hard for the friendship between China and the United States." Charlie

He said to Zhang Yushu in a very sincere tone.

"Is this..." Zhang Yushu said, pretending to be reserved. He was really a greedy guy. He was not satisfied with the agency power given to one state. He actually wanted the agency power for the entire United States.

If the situation hadn't been tense this time and your ship was needed, how could such a huge profit be handed over to unknown people like you?

"This has made our teacher make up his mind, and I can't make the decision." Zhang Yushu could only practice Tai Chi.

"I don't know when you can introduce me to your wise and great teacher. I have great respect for people who can invent such great things. I very much hope to meet him in person." Charlie said enthusiastically.

He said, almost saying that he wanted to recognize Lu Mingxuan as his godfather.

"It won't be long before you meet our master. If you behave well, our master may give you agency rights in a few more states." Zhang Yushu said with a smile.

"Please rest assured about this. I have always hated the evil little Japanese dwarf, and I am full of incomparable love for the great Chinese people. This time I must carry forward the great international humanitarian spirit and bring all Nanjing

The soldiers and civilians were rescued safely." At this time, Charlie said with a righteous look.

After listening to his words, Zhang Yushu curled his lips slightly. What a great international humanitarian spirit. If we didn't have the agency rights for these stockings. If we hadn't paid a price of ten yuan to ship one person, you would be willing to come so actively.

Rescue?

"Davis. Go tell Old York and the others! Raise our flags and let the evil Japanese know that we are all great white people. If he dares to bomb our ships, our country will not let him go."

Get past them." Charlie said arrogantly.

"Got it! Captain!"

Various national flags were quickly hoisted at the port at the back, including American, British, French, German, and Italian flags.

Looking at so many national flags, Zhang Yushu's mouth showed a faint smile. I wonder if the little devils would dare to bomb such a ship after seeing the national flags of so many countries?

At this time, a Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over from the sky. The Japanese pilots were shocked when they saw so many ships going down the river. Didn't they know that the Nanjing war zone would soon be downstream?

Aren't they afraid of being bombed by planes?

The pilot of this reconnaissance aircraft controlled the aircraft to fly over these ships at low altitude from time to time.

He easily judged that these ships were definitely not warships, but civilian ships.

Those various national flags fluttering in the wind attracted attention. Looking at these colorful flags, the Japanese pilots couldn't help but be speechless. How many countries' fleets are these? Are these European and American countries expressing their dissatisfaction with our occupation?

?

No! I must send this news back!

Thinking of this, the reconnaissance plane began to take pictures of these ships. After taking pictures, it flew eastward.

Looking at the departing reconnaissance plane, Zhang Yushu showed a sneer on his face. The little devil would probably be dumbfounded when he saw so many foreign ships!

He hoped that the little devils would bomb the fleet, so that they would offend all European and American countries, but he estimated that the little devils did not have the courage yet.

Although the little devils are very mean-spirited and often call those white Americans, Miying and devils, they still don't have the guts to really let them bomb ships from European and American countries.

We will arrive in Nanjing soon, but don’t you know that their situation is not good?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yushu sighed secretly!
Chapter completed!
