Chapter 419 Taste the sweetness

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"Kita-kun is a role model for us in being loyal to the Emperor."

Chu Lingyun said lonelyly, people who don't know really think how deep the relationship between him and Kita Kensuke is.

Many Chinese people who were secretly watching them could not help but spit on the ground.

The Japs are the most hateful, the more they die, the better. I finally heard the news that the Japanese have won the war.

"Please bring this money to Kita-kun's family as a token of my gratitude."

Chu Lingyun took out five yen and brought the news to Chu Lingyun's Inoue Master, who was in awe.

Five yen is not a lot, but it is definitely a lot. Kita Kensuke is just a customer of Ishihara Hiroshi, and after hearing the news about Kita's broken jade, he actually gave him so much money.

"Ishihara-kun is indeed a passionate person. No wonder Kita-kun likes you so much. He is not wrong about the person.

Master Inoue's voice was low, and Chu Lingyun took the opportunity to invite: "Inoue-kun, you just had a battle, why don't you stay and drink first, I have sake here."

At the end of the sentence, Chu Lingyun's voice dropped a lot.

Soushi Inoue looked shocked. Alcohol is now a controlled product, especially sake. It is difficult for him and even his squad leader to drink it.

"Okay, let's remember Kita-kun together.

Master Inoue could not resist the temptation and followed Chu Lingyun into the backyard.

These days, Chu Lingyun has come into contact with a lot of Japanese soldiers, most of whom are at the bottom. This is a small shop and cannot attract high-level officers.

And Chu Lingyun's target is these low-level soldiers.

They have received strict training and have been severely brainwashed, but they also have their own cleverness, such as Kita Kensuke.

Every time he comes to buy something, he will buy a little more, or bring someone to buy something. In fact, he takes the things he buys back and resells them to earn the price difference.

After all, Chu Lingyun's store had just opened and not many people knew about it.

Chu Lingyun didn't care what he did. These Japanese soldiers had relatively simple minds. It was easier to get what they wanted by getting along with them.

Kita Kensuke is dead, and now there is Inoue Soushi.

According to Chu Lingyun's observation, Master Inoue is more like a pure soldier. He only helps Kita Kensuke buy things and then leaves them to him to sell.

As for the money earned, given Kensuke Kita's temperament, he probably won't be able to share much with him.

These are not Chu Lingyun's active inquiries, but information gleaned from their usual inadvertent exchanges.

In the backyard, Chu Lingyun had two simple dishes prepared. One plate of peanuts and one plate of pickles.

It's not that Chu Lingyun doesn't have better food, but with the current food control, it's a loophole for him to come up with better food.

Chu Lingyun rummaged through the box and carefully took out two bottles of sake.

Seeing Chu Lingyun's appearance, Master Inoue was very moved. He hid it so tightly, I believe Ishihara-kun didn't have much, and he really hadn't drank sake from his hometown for a long time.

"Inoue-kun, please."

Chu Lingyun poured the wine and let Inoue taste it first. Inoue couldn't wait to take a sip, closing his eyes and savoring it slowly.

"I didn't expect Ishihara-kun to have so many good things. Ishihara-kun is indeed a capable person. No wonder Kita likes you so much."

Soushi Inoue said with emotion that for ordinary soldiers like them, having some goods in short supply at this time means their ability.

At a critical moment, if you don't have what others have, you will inevitably be looked down upon a little bit.

Although Hiroshi Ishihara is not a soldier, he is just an ordinary sergeant and also has little power.

"Kita-kun likes me because I can help him make money, right?"

Chu Lingyun poured wine for Master Inoue and said with a smile.

During this period, there were at least dozens of Japanese soldiers who came to his place, and Chu Lingyun observed everyone.

Some people come here purely to buy things. They only buy what they need and have no interest in other products in the store. Such people just buy and leave. You must not say anything to them. Otherwise, they will meet someone who is interested.

Facing great danger.

There are also some chatty people who like to chat. They are important sources of information for Chu Lingyun.

Finally, there are people like Kita Kensuke who take advantage of the opportunity of knowing the store in advance and others don’t know about it to buy some back and resell them.

Others, earn the difference.

The price Chu Lingyun gave them was indeed not high, and it was wartime again. If Kita resold it, he could basically make twice as much, or at least half as much.

Every time Kita buys something, she always drags Inoue along.

It has to be said that people in this era are quite simple. He was too embarrassed to buy too much at one time. He didn't want Chu Lingyun to know that he was going back to sell, so he took his companions around him and had a more suitable reason to buy more.

His little thoughts had long been seen through by Chu Lingyun.

"How did you know?"

Soushi Inoue was very shocked. Kita did buy it, take it back and sell it, and he would get a little money each time, but it was very little.

He wasn't too cold about Kita's behavior, but the two were good friends, and every time Kita found him, he would help.

"He buys too frequently.

Chu Lingyun smiled. He came to buy some things as soon as he started using them. He must not have used them himself. This was easy to guess.

"Actually, I don't object to Kita-kun doing this. He can make my goods more marketable."

"Don't you object? If you give him such a low price, he'll take away all the money you deserve."

Inoue Zongshi was even more surprised. In his opinion, Chu Lingyun should be angry when he found out. They gave you face and things at cost price, but you sold them for money.

"Although he has made money, at least more people know about my goods. If others know about it, they will not buy from him. This has helped me expand sales. You haven't noticed that I have a lot more customers recently.

?』

Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Master Inoue widened his eyes and said in admiration: "I didn't expect Ishihara-kun to be a business genius.

"I'm not a genius, I'm just a normal businessman. I have a friend from Osaka who is really good at business. Anything in his hands can become a business.

Chu Lingyun smiled, and Master Inoue nodded in agreement.

Osaka people are also famous for doing business in China, and he has known it for a long time. "Inoue-kun, what Kita-kun can do, you can also do."

Chu Lingyun poured the wine again, and Master Inoue shook his head gently: "I can't let go, and I'm not as good at talking or doing as Kita-kun."

Inoue and Kita do have different temperaments, Inoue is more honest and like a homebody.

But it doesn't mean that he can't do business. The more honest he is, the deeper he will cover up after discovering the benefits.

Being honest does not mean being stupid, and no one would be willing to benefit from more benefits.

Now that Kita is dead, Inoue has become Chu Lingyun's most suitable target. Inoue is easier to fool, unlike Kita, who sometimes won't have a heart-to-heart relationship with you.

If you treat a person like Inoue well, he will trust you with his life.

Chu Lingyun dare not say that he is absolutely accurate in his judgment of people, but the simpler the person, the easier it is for others to see his character.

"How will you know if you don't try it? In this way, I will order some goods for you first, and you will sell them, and then give me the money after you sell them.

Chu Lingyun is familiar with the routine of getting people on board. Using sulfa, he has already won over many people, and many big bosses have taken the initiative to find him.

After hesitating for a moment, Soushi Inoue still shook his head: "There is no need to try, I will definitely not be able to do it well."

What he said was "Don't try it." The word "Okay" showed that he still wanted to make this money in his heart, but he just didn't have confidence in himself.

"It doesn't cost anything to try. If you really don't know how, I'll teach you."

Chu Lingyun laughed and said, while drinking, he told him some common sense about selling goods. Inoue Zongshi has a weak face, so he can ask familiar people first.

And since there are old customers left behind by Kita, it is easier to get started.

No matter in any era or in any place, interest is the strongest alliance. It can be broken only because of insufficient interest.

There are many kinds of interests, money is the most common way. Some people value love, while others value love.

People value power, and others value names. By grasping the key points, this relationship can be stabilized.

Broadly speaking, the same is true for the feelings of family and country.

Chu Lingyun said a lot, and Master Inoue kept nodding.

"Thank you, Mr. Ishihara. I'll go back and try. If it doesn't work, I'll return the goods to you."

In the end, it didn't go beyond Chu Lingyun's guess, and Inoue agreed.

"no problem."

Chu Lingyun smiled, and once Inoue tasted the benefits, there was no way he could drive him away.

After drinking, Chu Lingyun packed him a bag of small goods. The price was not too high, but it was difficult to buy at this time.

Back at the camp, Inoue was still a little hesitant.

But thinking about the money Kita had earned before, biting him, he still came to an acquaintance's barracks.

He didn't know how much money Kita earned. The money should be in his belongings, and Inoue didn't look for it.

But he is often with Kita, so he can still guess a little bit.

"Do you want any cigarettes?

Arriving at the barracks, Inoue asked in a low voice, and several people immediately looked at him.

"What did you say."

someone asked.

"No, I didn't say anything."

Inoue's face turned red, he waved his hands hurriedly, and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, Inoue, do you have cigarettes?"

Someone heard clearly what he just said and saw that he was about to leave, so he immediately stopped him.

"have."

Inoue took courage and answered him.

"I want as many as you want."

The man immediately replied that they had distributed cigarettes, but the quantity distributed was insufficient. The war was at its peak now, and Japan's transportation was also limited to weapons, ammunition and other strategic materials.

The cigarettes that can be allocated to each person every day are only a few, which is simply not enough.

"I have ten packs."

Jingshang whispered back that Chu Lingyun gave him two cigarettes in five packs and one pack.

"There are so many, I want to see the goods first.

The man was a little surprised and made a request. Inoue opened his clothes and let him see the cigarette hanging inside.

This method was taught to him by Chu Lingyun. "I don't want that much, so give me two bags first."

"I want two packs too."

"You also have matches and soap, I want them too."

After a while, Inoue sold more than half of the goods in the barracks, including all the cigarettes. When he came out, he was still a little dizzy.

The money sold here is enough for him to repay Hiroshi Ishihara's capital.

It is equivalent to saying that whatever is left on him is all earned.

The first experience of selling goods greatly encouraged him. He went to other barracks and sold all the goods in only half a day.

After sorting out the money, he found that he had earned six yen in just half a day.

He was a second-class sergeant, and his monthly military pay was less than six yen. Even with wartime allowances, the money he earned in half a day was equivalent to half of his monthly income.

Soushi Inoue never thought that money could be so easy to make. Now is not the future, and the yen has not depreciated so much. If he can earn so much, he can improve his family's life very well.

Inoue Souji's family is the most ordinary farmer in Japan. Besides, this is just a small amount of goods provided to him by Ishihara Toru. If he gets more goods, wouldn't it mean that he can earn more money?

Master Inoue couldn't sit still. Without waiting for tomorrow, he immediately went to find Chu Lingyun, paid the money for the goods, and brought back more goods.

For a person who has never made money before, suddenly he has such a strong ability to make money, he cannot control it at all.

For Inoue Soushi, this incident was like opening a new door for him.

Master Inoue took the bait, and Chu Lingyun was very satisfied.

When Soushi Inoue is completely trapped, even if he knows that his identity is suspicious, he will not report it. This is the charm of money.

Of course, Chu Lingyun would not let this happen to him.

Inoue Zongshi's rank is very low, but Chu Lingyun is not trying to find out the important strategic deployment of the Japanese army at this time. Intelligence work has always been done from scratch. Being able to judge some Japanese army's movements through limited clues is a great achievement.

The message sent to Chen Mutu this time was due to the small message.

Without Chu Lingyun's timely intelligence, even if Chen Mutu could repel the Japanese attack, his own damage would be at least twice that of the Japanese.

Now the loss is only 1.5 times, reduced by 0.5.

Don't underestimate these 0.5. In a battle involving tens of thousands of people, 0.5 means hundreds of lives. These people were spared because of the intelligence analyzed by Chu Lingyun.

This is only in terms of personnel. There are also considerable savings in terms of various weapons and ammunition.

Knowing the exact time and direction of the Japanese attack and the strength of the attacking troops, we can make the most correct judgment. Good steel can be used on good blades to avoid wastage.

These further reflect the importance of intelligence work.

Early the next morning, Soushi Inoue came again.

He went to sell the goods he brought back yesterday. In just half a day, he lost the shyness before and became very skilled in selling the goods in his hands.

Even he himself had not thought of such a change.

Yesterday, he sold three-quarters of the goods he brought back on his second trip. Not only did he make back his capital, but he also made twelve yen.

In two days, even less than one day if calculated by hours, he had earned three months' worth of military pay. This was something he had never dared to think about before.

Damn Kita Kensuke, such a profitable business didn't involve him, he deserved to die in battle.

In the past, Kita always liked to run towards Ishihara-kun, and he finally understood the reason.

People who eat alone are never liked by others, especially when he discovered the huge dangers in it.

This time he really wronged Kita Kensuke. Kita worked for a few days, but the money he earned together was not as much as Inoue's.

The main reason is that he has not completely wiped out his face and purchased the goods at zero. How much supply can he get? Chu Lingyun directly supplies the goods to Inoue.
