China's coastline gradually disappeared in Chen Tian's sight.
"Little Japan, I'm here!" Standing on the bow of the "Little Medusa", Chen Tian showed a sly smile.
At the Tokyo Bay Pier in Japan, the ship gradually docked. Chen Tian saw a thin old man standing in the cold wind, so familiar.
"Your Highness is here!"
"Hmm! Zac, you have worked hard! Are everything ready?"
"Back to Your Highness, things are ready!"
"Did you find the right person?"
"We Already found him ! Let's see him now!"
German consulate secret room.
Zac led Chen Tian into the secret room, which contained a Japanese youth and a German officer. When Chen Tian came in, they all stood up.
"His Royal Highness! I am Lieutenant Link of the German Army, the interpreter here!" said the officer after the salute.
"Is it reliable?" Chen Tian glanced at him and said softly in Zach's ear.
"Yes, Your Highness! His father is an officer of the Eastern Prussian Army and is very loyal to our family."
"Well! Lieutenant Link! It's very promising to follow us!" Chen Tian patted his shoulder and motioned him to introduce the Japanese youth.
"This is a letter from Tokugawa, he is a descendant of the Tokugawa family! He said that as long as we help them to regain the power as the Shogunate, he will be willing to cooperate with us to do anything!"
"Idiots say dreams!" Chen Tian said softly, which is as stupid as some people in the last years of the Qing Dynasty wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but he now needs to use such Japanese.
"Well! Very good! You tell him that I am the Prince of East Prussia in Germany. I promise that as long as he cooperates well with us, we will fully cooperate with their Tokugawa family to make a comeback, asking for money, asking for weapons, and giving weapons."
Then Link translated it to the Japanese youth as he was, and he bowed towards Chen Tian after listening.
"Hi!"
"Then he agrees!" Chen Tian nodded. "Zac, you can settle him well! Then we talk about our plan!"
At dawn the next day, Chen Tian and Zac walked out of the secret room tiredly.
"Zac, please here!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
A week later, the first "eat and eat" restaurant opened in Tokyo. This is a large restaurant that mainly serves fast food, but also provides traditional Japanese food, Chinese food and Western food. The restaurant is registered in the name of Tokugawa .
Within a few months, there were a series of branches that "eat and want to eat" all over Japan, with huge signs: new stores opened and free tasting for 7 days! For a time, local people went to enjoy lunch without money, and some people even came from tens of miles away.
People feel that the food there is particularly delicious, and they miss the taste of it especially if they haven't eaten in a few days. Although the restaurant meals are of medium price, no matter old or young or rich or poor, they often go there to eat, and every family "full of food and want to eat" is always full every day. The slogan people meet will greet each other: Did you go to "I want to eat after eating today"?
The sakura shells that Zac gradually acquired from India at a low price and the remaining residues of refined opium are not enough, and they have to increase their purchase and transportation efforts again and again. Fortunately, Chentian notified Zac to start preparing funds before he set off from Germany. After Zac received a telegram from Chentian and brought most of Chentian's belongings from Germany, he barely experienced difficulties in fund operation.
All of Tokugawa Ichibu and the staff of all restaurants have no knowledge. They only know that they need to add a special soup to various ordinary foods. In fact, people will not be very dependent upon eating. I just subconsciously told myself that the food here is particularly delicious and I want to eat it!
Although the Tokugawa family has no right to speak in the Japanese government, the family is still relatively rich, so the Japanese people and the government have not reacted too strongly to this phenomenon.
In the first year, under Zac's careful calculation, Chen Tian's investment was more than a dozen times, and Tokugawa Yixin only received a small amount of "endorsement fee".
In the second year, according to Chen Tian's plan, in addition to continuing to add "eat and want to eat" branches, Zac also used the remaining funds to open many retail stores "buy and want to buy" in various places. "Buy and want to buy" shouts out fresh slogans such as buy one get one free, prize sale, etc. Japanese people who like to be petty and cheap continue to rush and make money! The happy Japanese people met and asked: Did you buy it today?
At the beginning of the third year, there were nearly a thousand branches in Japan after eating and wanting to eat, and there were as many as two hundred "buying and buying". As the purchasing power of the Japanese people is declining, and Japanese stores are gradually learning to use the method of sales gifting and prized sales, Chentian informed Zack that each of them will "eat and want to eat" and "buy and want to buy". All branches sold to Japanese merchants at high prices. Because the "eat and want to eat" and "buy and want to buy" businesses are particularly good, merchants across Japan even borrowed money to buy their branches. "Eat and want to eat" and "Buy and want to buy" each branch is sold for 100,000-500,000 and 100,000-200,000 yen according to scale, and the revenue of this item alone is about 300 million yen At that time, the total capital of Japanese enterprises was only about 1 billion yen.
In just over two years, Chen Tianying's brain is full of intestines, and he has become a super upstart, but the Japanese people are surprised to find that they have no more money in their pockets. At night XX, they find that their ability is better than before. Much weaker.
After that, Chentian asked Zac to exchange most of the funds into silver or gems and shipped them out of Japan. Most of them invested in the establishment of factories and shipyards in East Prussia, and improved the living facilities of local people. Some of them were used to invest in Qingdao to build a large-scale arms Factory, the rest is used as a reserve.
A portion of the funds remaining in Japan is issued as loan sharks in the name of Tokugawa Ichikawa, and regular lottery sweepstakes are set up in the city, and mobile lottery booths are set up between villages. In Japan, from time to time someone shouted like crazy: I won the prize! I am a rich man! For a time, even the money of Japanese farmer Uncle began to flow into Chen Tian's pocket. Uncle Farmer's money went to buy lottery tickets, what should I do if I have no money to buy seeds and tools? You can borrow usury. What if I can't afford a loan shark? Selling children selling women selling wives!
As the consumption level of the Japanese people continued to decrease by N percentage points, half a year later, businessmen who bought "eat and eat" and "buy and buy" went bankrupt at a loss, and many people were on the verge of facing bankruptcy. Industry and economy maintained rapid growth, and after Chen Tian secretly provided a large amount of funds and arms to Tokugawa Ichibu, signs of turbulence also began to appear.
When Zack helped Chen Tian count money in his hand in Japan, Chen Tian continued his voyage around the world.
Chen Tian still remembers his promise. Every time he went to a place, as long as there was a post office, he would send a letter from there to the Austrian palace, although he knew that there might be many letters that could not be delivered.
After seeing the original features of Oceania, Chen Tian came to the American continent with the "Little Medusa". Most of the inland regions of the Americas are very barren, but some coastal cities, especially those in the United States, are developing at an alarming rate. This made Chen Tian very emotional, no wonder that the two world wars were caused by the participation of the United States and the Germans experienced the bitter fruit of failure twice. Americans are very realistic. They basically make enough money first, and then look at whoever is strong and help them in the past. In short, they try to profit as much as possible. Chen Tian remembered that he had read a report before, saying that before the First World War, the German Staff had planned to sneak into the United States and force its peace talks. It only required about 100,000 troops and enough logistics supplies. However, due to the stalemate of European wars and the incompetence of the navy, this plan had to be shelved.
"Either don't provoke them, or fight until they are afraid!" When leaving the American port, Chen Tian stood at the stern and looked at the rich land, secretly speaking to himself.
Eventually, after a year and a half of voyage, Chen Tian returned to Germany in early 1901 after traveling around most of the world. He will return to the East Prussia and East Prussian Army belonging to him and start building his own world.
