Chapter 270: US$65 All for Fighting the Japanese
However, after the allicin deal was completed, these wealthy people did not seem particularly happy. Instead, they kept coming to Hou Xiaoge to ask about the wake-up cigarette.
Hou Xiaoge had anticipated this in his heart. After all, a share of several million was just a drop in the bucket for these big families.
Compared with this small business, they care more about their own health and mental comfort.
And refreshing cigarettes are not only beneficial to physical health, but also can relax the body and mind and make the brain clear, which is very important for the rich.
“David, this refreshing cigarette is really wonderful. If it can be mass-produced, it will bring endless wealth and status.
The grain companies under several of our families have specialized laboratories and planting experts. I wonder if we can work together to cultivate such tobacco leaves?" The head of the DuPont family and the heads of several large families came over to ask.
Hou Xiaoge knew which grain company these families were talking about. It was the super grain company headed by the four famous grain traders.
Compared with these big families, these companies are just small business branches under their control.
“I don’t know much about this thing either. I only heard from the organization that it is too difficult to grow and the cultivation method is not modern technology.
I know you may ask the above questions, but in order to avoid misunderstanding, let me give you three tobacco seedlings. If you can grow them well, we can cooperate later.
Hou Xiaoge clapped his hands and had someone bring out three small jade pots covered with glass. Three 20-centimeter-tall semi-spiritual medicinal tobacco seedlings were growing in the jade pots like emerald jade drops.
"Wow! This is a work of art."
"My family owns hundreds of thousands of acres of tobacco farms, but I have never seen tobacco leaves that look like works of art."
"is this real?"
……
Everyone looked around at the tobacco leaves, looking very excited.
“It’s better not to open this glass cover as the smell of tobacco can be easily contaminated by the outside air. The tobacco leaves are right here, so they must be real!
This tobacco leaf is also a mother tobacco leaf, which can be propagated. If you have a top laboratory at home, you can also test whether the tobacco leaves in the tobacco are the same as this one. "Hou Xiaoge said without hesitation.
Semi-spiritual medicines can only grow in the spiritual fields in the ring space, not even in the space and land at the foot of the mountain.
Therefore, Hou Xiaoge was not worried at all that these people would be able to successfully cultivate semi-spiritual medicine grade tobacco leaves with these three seedlings, and at most a few tobacco leaves would die from lack of nutrition in half a month.
Hou Xiaoge was still unwilling to offend these top ten forces. This way he could get rid of their entanglement and turn from passive to active.
The experiment would take a long time, and everyone had at most two boxes of wake-up cigarettes on them. How could they resist? They all asked to buy them.
However, Hou Xiaoge refused to sell the high-end products on the grounds that the production was too low. He only provided three boxes per month to an ordinary family and one box of high-end products at the end of the year. There would be no more than that.
And the price is not cheap either. An ordinary box costs US$10,000, while a high-end box costs up to one million, and that’s after tax.
At this price, it is definitely a super luxury item in this era.
Hou Xiaoge did nothing else and just relied on selling wake-up cigarettes to earn nearly 20 million US dollars a year.
So after the wealthy people of these families paid their money in advance, Hou Xiaoge suddenly felt that there was no need to struggle anymore.
An auction sold 65 million yuan, the price of cigarettes was more than 17 million yuan, and the business took off directly with more than 80 million yuan.
After the auction, a group of big families, along with their subordinates, happily left Kent Farm with tobacco leaves in their hands.
Hou Xiaoge successfully traded such a large sum of money, so it was impossible for America to let Hou Xiaoge just take the money and leave.
So after these big capitalists left, President Ronaldinho approached Hou Xiaoge, hoping that at least half of the money would be used to invest or purchase American products.
Hou Xiaoge could understand this situation. No country would allow others to take so much money directly from its country.
"President Ronaldinho, our two countries are now allies. I wonder if your government can sell a batch of fighter jets or bombers to the Chinese.
Of course, some of these planes will return to China to fight the Japanese, and the rest will be used in Southeast Asia to fight the Japanese." Hou Xiaoge poured a cup of tea for the other party, and then asked with anticipation.
The reason why Hou Xiaoge said this was, of course, to make reasonable use of the money. After all, he no longer liked money and he had no interest in money.
Now that we are here during the Anti-Japanese War, we should exert our greater abilities.
“Of course, now all the Allies are standing together.
In recent years, the United States has been struggling to provide supplies to its allies around the world to support this global war.
Mr. David can support this just counterattack. On behalf of the United States, I agree to this transaction. All weapons currently owned by the United States can be traded. "President Ronaldinho said with a smile.
"President Ronaldinho, I have another request. I hope to hire members of the U.S. Air Force or flying club to help train Chinese pilots." Hou Xiaoge continued.
"of course can!"
"OK! I can't decide on the money for the wake-up cigarettes, but the organization has agreed to use the money for the garlic extract to support the war of resistance.
I can use 40 million US dollars to buy planes and ammunition, and 20 million US dollars to train pilots. I want to drown the Japanese with a sea of planes.
I hope President Ronaldinho can provide enough aircraft as soon as possible. I will contact Chinese people around the world to recruit pilot trainees as soon as possible. "Hou Xiaoge said excitedly.
"Walter? Mr. David, do you know how many planes you can buy with 40 million US dollars?
Now the latest fighter jet in the United States costs only 60,000 US dollars, while a plane with similar performance to the Japanese plane costs only 30,000 US dollars.
Your 40 million US dollars, if including logistical supplies, can buy at least 700 aircraft. "President Xiao Luo was stunned for a moment and almost stood up from his wheelchair.
"Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, from 1937 to 1943, in more than five years, overseas Chinese donated at least 60% of the military expenditure to the motherland, especially compatriots in Southeast Asia.
Last year, the Japanese occupied Southeast Asia by force and retaliated against our compatriots, massacring 100,000 people in just one city in Singapore.
These overseas compatriots donated money to the government, but the government was unable to protect them.
Our leader's family was not spared last year, so starting this year the Yanhuang Alliance will fully support the Chinese in their fight against Japan.
I don’t think 700 planes are too many. Our organization will provide a lot of funds to support the war of resistance in the future. The more planes the better, until we defeat the Japanese and reach Pingguoshan.” Hou Xiaoge stood up and said excitedly.
"The people of your country are so united! At the same time, Mr. David also has a message for me, hoping that the leader of your organization will express our condolences." Roosevelt looked at the excited Hou Xiaoge for a long time before saying this.
