"Yes, yes, I was impatient." Elias retracted his head back to the office.

"Boss, Governor Zhao is here." As soon as Ilias's butt touched the chair, the subordinates outside ran in to report, and he immediately jumped up and led them out.

Elias welcomed Zhao Shouhong and his party into the foreign firm, and then led him to his office.

"I don't know if Commander Zhao intends to cooperate with my Sassoon company when he comes this time. I think we have a lot of opportunities for cooperation." Elias showed his true nature as a businessman when he came up. In fact, the main reason why he couldn't sit still was In order to make money.Recently, Zhao Shouhong's Guangming Group has recruited a large number of Chinese businessmen in Guanghai City, opened up the market with many new products, and occupied a huge share of Guanghai City and the surrounding provinces.

These products produced in the two industrial areas of Zhongchuan or Guanghai City are very exquisite, even better than those imported from the West Continent.As a result, the profits of all major foreign firms were severely suppressed, and even Sassoon Matheson was a bit overwhelmed.Zhao Shouhong actually took the initiative to visit today. He had various speculations in his mind, and the one that excited him the most was the cooperation between the two parties.

"Well, I have the intention of cooperating with Mr. Sassoon, but we need to discuss it in detail." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

"I don't know what Zhao Dudu intends to cooperate with my Sassoon company?" Elias suddenly became excited.

"Mr. Elias, have you ever thought about representing my products and opening up the market in the Western Continent?" Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

"You mean Huayao?" Elias's eyes lit up, and he smiled all over his face.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "For Huayao, we sell directly from the factory, not to mention that Huayao has already opened up the market in the Western Continent, and there is no need for an agent's sales channel at all."

Hearing that it was not the most lucrative drug, Elias felt a little depressed.Zhao Shouhong said calmly, "I believe that Mr. Elias should know that the Japanese are suppressing the raw silk industry in our country, trying to destroy the pillar industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou."

"Of course I know this. Due to the impact of the Japanese raw silk, Sassoon Matheson's business also suffered some losses." Elias nodded, because the last stock market crash caused great damage to the Wa country's economy, and the government tried its best to recover the losses.Therefore, the external economic plunder was increased, and the raw silk industry, which is the key product of the Japanese country, naturally played a pioneering role.

As early as the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government made some considerations in terms of export profits.As a very profitable product in the Eastern Continent, raw silk and tea have always been concerned by the government.Thanks to the government's vigorous support, the raw silk industry in Wa country has been greatly developed. In [-], the export volume of Japanese raw silk was [-] tons, and the total output was [-] tons, which was less than one-third of the annual output of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in China. In [-], the export volume of Japanese raw silk reached [-] tons, and the total output was [-] tons.

Around [-], the quality of its raw silk had surpassed that of Manchu Qing raw silk, and its tea production was completely changed to mechanized production. Wa country gradually became the second largest exporter of raw silk and the fifth largest exporter of tea in the world.

Chapter 468 The Resentment of the Foreign Firm

The raw silk industry in Japan is developing faster and faster. In [-], the total export volume of raw silk in Japan reached [-] tons. By [-], Japan had become the largest exporter of raw silk in the world, and its annual raw silk output was even higher. It reached [-] tons, and the total export volume was [-] tons, which was more than fifteen times more than that in [-]. Its output was six times that of the whole country in Houjin, accounting for [-]% of the global export volume.

The four major chaebols in Japan almost all relied on the profits earned from the export of raw silk to support the expansion of other industries and use this to support the development of the country's heavy industry.The raw silk industry has almost become the economic lifeline of the Wa country. It can be said that as long as the raw silk is still selling well, the industrial progress of the Wa country will not be hindered, and its national finances will be able to support it.

In order to obtain greater benefits and fully grasp the pricing power of raw silk, Wa country needs to obtain a larger export share, so their eyes turned to Hualan, the second largest raw silk producer.Taking advantage of the outbreak of the democratic revolution, the country has been unable to pay attention to the local economic development, and the Wa country began to attack Hualan's raw silk industry.

The first is a large-scale price cut, using government subsidies to smash the price of the world's raw silk market.As the price of raw silk continued to drop, Hualan’s raw silk industry with small profits and low profits could not support it at first. Those Hualan raw silk owners who were basically family workshops went bankrupt one after another, and their industries were merged by Japanese merchants in large numbers.

In just a few months, more than half of the raw silk production areas in the Liangjiang area were controlled by the Japanese state, and even the areas controlled by the Dashu military government were not spared.The surrounding areas of Guanghai City encountered an economic turmoil. Fortunately, the expansion of the Guangming Group's light industrial park absorbed a large number of unemployed workers, which did not cause excessive sentiment among the people.

Under Zhao Shouhong and Qin Zhongyi's ignorance, they were actually taken advantage of by the people of the Japanese country. Naturally, this place must be recovered.After getting a detailed understanding of the current situation of the raw silk industry in Japan from Shigeru Yamada, Zhao Shouhong found Sassoon Corporation.

Sassoon also has a lot of resentment towards the Wa country. In order to maximize the benefits, the major chaebols of the Wa country established an offensive and defensive alliance.The raw silk industry under its control has become a one-stop production and sales chain, and all products are produced and sold by itself, and foreign businessmen are not allowed to intervene at all.As a Sassoon company that has been operating in Hualan for many years, a large part of its business is the sales of raw silk. Now even if it is rich, it cannot buy the source of goods, which naturally makes Elias unhappy.When Zhao Shouhong mentioned it today, he thought of those hateful Japanese people again.

"These damned East Asian sick men." Ilias gritted his teeth angrily, and then he reacted and explained to Zhao Shouhong: "I'm talking about Japanese people, but it has nothing to do with Hualan people." Regarding Ilias' explanation However, Zhao Shouhong didn't take it seriously, because he knew that the term "sick man of East Asia" was actually imposed on Hualan by the Wa people.

The term "sick man in East Asia" was first produced in the White Eagle Kingdom, which opened the gates of the Wa Kingdom. At the beginning, the Wa Kingdom followed the policy of closing the country and cut off all contact with the outside world, so that countries in the world did not understand the Wa Kingdom.It wasn't until the black ships of the White Eagle Kingdom invaded and completely broke the gate of the Wa Kingdom that the white people in the West were shocked to find that such a group of thin, short yellow people lived in this closed island country.

Compared with the tall people in the Western Continent, the Japanese people are particularly short. Coupled with their peculiar bow legs and thinness caused by malnutrition, the people of the White Eagle Kingdom gave them the title of "sick man of East Asia".This name is very popular in the Western Continent due to the spread of the White Eagle Kingdom. Therefore, in the consciousness of the white people, the sick man of East Asia refers to the Wa people. Of course, in the Western Continent of this era, the Wa people and the Hualan people are not very easily distinguishable.

After becoming stronger through the Meiji Restoration, Japanese people hated the insulting title of sick man of East Asia very much. They thought it was discrimination against an increasingly powerful country.At that time, Wa Kingdom's admiration for the developed countries in the Western Continent was incomparable, and all countries in the Western Continent were regarded as invincible existences. Of course, Wa Kingdom could not turn against them because of a name.

Since this name cannot be erased, the Wa people naturally want to divert their attention and give this indecent name to others.After the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], the Japanese people naturally found such an opportunity, and they began to call the Hualan people the sick men of East Asia in public.

Relying on the double publicity of the people and the government, this name was cleverly transferred to the Hualan people.However, this kind of confusion and transfer is just a fig leaf for the Wa people to boost the morale of their country.Although many people in the countries of the Eastern Continent assigned this title to the Hualan people, in the Western Continent this title still belonged to the Wa Kingdom.It's just that most people in the Western Continent can't tell the difference between Wa Kingdom and Hualan, so this name is also quite vague.

Ilias has been in Hualan for many years, so he can clearly distinguish the Wa people from the Hualan people. Therefore, after his dissatisfaction with the Wa country reached the extreme, he naturally blurted out this name.Regarding Elias' apology, Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "Mr. Elias doesn't need to apologize. I know the origin of this name, so I naturally don't think you are talking about Hualan people."

Ilias breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Shouhong, and he asked again: "I don't know what's going on with Governor Zhao this time, why did you mention the raw silk from the Wa Kingdom?"

"Of course I came to see Mr. Elias for something related to the Japanese raw silk." Zhao Shouhong smiled slightly, and he waved to the back, and the accompanying guard handed him a paper bag.

Elias stared at the paper bag with a curious expression on his face.Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said that what's in this paper bag is enough for Elias to earn a profit comparable to that of Huayao?"

"What?" Ilias' breath was stagnant. Although he didn't know how profitable Huayao was, he believed that Zhao Shouhong was making a lot of money just because of its shortage of supply.Now there is an equally profitable project in front of him, and Zhao Shouhong seems to be interested in cooperating with him, how can this not make him excited.

"Cooperating with Governor Zhao must be a big deal, and I am naturally very willing to accept it." Elias agreed without thinking.

Under Ilias' attention, Zhao Shouhong calmly opened the paper bag and took out something that surprised the other party, a pair of women's stockings as thin as cicada's wings.

"This is..." Ilias' eyes were shining brightly, and his heart almost missed a beat.Raw silk is the main raw material for making silk. There are several uses of silk in the world today. The first is to make decorative items, such as curtains, cushions, sofa fabrics, etc. These things are made of silk. The surface is smooth and bright, and the texture is tough and lasts for a long time. .The second use is in industry. For example, in the new electromechanical industry, the so-called insulating material of silk is almost the only choice, and there are also a lot of filter thickeners in the chemical, flour and brewing industries.

Chapter 469 Bestsellers

Although these products use a large amount of silk, in recent years, its amount has been replaced by a new product in the clothing industry.Facing the vigorous development of industries in the countries of the Western Continent, the people of all countries are getting richer and richer. With money, it is natural to improve the quality of life. Therefore, new fashion clothes are increasing day by day, and high socks are such products.

Because they live in cold regions, most white people have lush body hair, which is masculine for men, but it is a great defect for women.In addition, the skin of white people is relatively rough, so the clothing of white women used to be long skirts that drag the floor to prevent the ugly legs from being exposed.

The appearance of stockings has changed this situation, because the legs are wrapped by stockings, which cover skin defects and leg hair, and at the same time reveal the beautiful curves of the legs, making the legs smooth and delicate.In this way, the curves of white women are beautiful and their charm is greatly increased.It is for this reason that once stockings appeared, they immediately became popular in all countries in the Western Continent.White women were proud to own a pair of stockings, and short skirts soon became popular.

In this era, the only material used to make stockings was silk, which caused the price of raw silk to rise again and again worldwide.But stockings made of silk have a lot of defects. First of all, because silk is very smooth, it is easy to fall off if you don't pay attention.In addition, the light fastness of silk is not good, and it will be damaged after a long time, and because the production of raw silk is cumbersome, the production cannot be increased on a large scale.Their prices remained high, making stockings almost a luxury.

As the only material for stockings, although silk stockings are beautiful, they are much inferior to this pair of stockings.The almost flesh-colored hue of these stockings alone is very attractive.And then Zhao Shouhong tried his best to pull the pair of stockings, even if it doubled its length, it still wouldn't break, which was incomparable to silk.

"Captain Zhao, can I try this pair of stockings on the spot?" Elias said.

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "Of course, Mr. Elias can experiment casually." He said and handed over the stockings.

Elias took the stockings, opened the door and shouted to the outside: "Mary, can you come here?"

"Good boss." Soon a blond white woman came in. She was an employee of Sassoon and Elias' secretary.Hearing the boss' greeting, she walked in with a face full of curiosity, knowing that the boss was meeting important guests, she didn't know why he called her over at this time.

Elias handed over the stockings and said, "Mary, these latest pair of stockings, can you try them on and let us see the effect?"

Mary blushed when she heard that. In this rather conservative age, such a request seems a bit excessive.But when Mary saw the stockings, she couldn't take her eyes off it.The brightly colored nylon stockings, which were as thin as cicada's wings, were very attractive. She smiled and took them, nodded slightly to a few people, then turned and walked out.

One minute later, Mary, who had changed into a short skirt, came in again. The moment she stepped into the office, all the men present except Zhao Shouhong couldn't help holding their breath, and they were completely dumbfounded.Mary was already very beautiful, but now she was wearing a knee-length skirt showing her beautiful calves.And the flesh-colored stockings on the calf outline the perfect curve of the legs, and the almost devil's curve of the legs seems to be tempting the most primitive desires of men.All the men in the room who had never seen such extreme temptation all began to breathe heavily.

"Dear Commander Zhao, are you planning to cooperate with Sassoon Matheson to buy and sell this kind of stockings?" Elias asked with some disbelief: "I dare say that once this product is put into the Western Continent market, all Women will go crazy for it."

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said: "Of course, I think Sassoon should have enough connections to sell this product in the Western Continent market."

"Of course, of course, we have enough sales channels to sell this product all over the western continent." Elias nodded excitedly.He knew that once he took on the business, he would be rich in no time.

"But I heard that Governor Zhao has a close relationship with the Hollywood consortium. Why don't you cooperate with such an excellent product?" Elias was still very clear-headed, and he immediately thought of the problem.

Zhao Shouhong looked at Elias and said word by word: "Because of your identity."

"My identity? Are you a Saar?" Although Elias opened a Sassoon firm, he was not considered a big man in the Saar country. He was only a small businessman at best.If in Hualan he has the status that can be obtained, it is only a citizen of the country of Saer, but he soon felt a little funny. As a citizen of the country of Saer, could it be more important than the status of the first citizen of the country of White Eagle? Does the Hollywood consortium of the eight major consortiums still have weight?

Sure enough, Zhao Shouhong quickly denied his judgment: "Of course it's not the identity of the Saar Kingdom, I'm talking about the Jews."

"Judah?" Elias's face changed slightly.The Judah nation is a troubled nation. They belong to the Semites and were originally a main nation in the Middle East.But thousands of years ago, the Kingdom of Judah was destroyed by the Kingdom of Babylon, and its people were moved to the Mesopotamia as slaves. This is the famous "Babylonian Prisoner".

After the Persian Empire wiped out Babylon, the Judahs were allowed to return to live in Judah and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.But their country did not last long, and soon they became subjects of the Greeks and the Roman Empire again, losing their own country.

Shortly after the death of the historical Jesus, the people of Judah revolted against the Roman Empire, but this revolt quickly failed.Jerusalem was broken by the Roman army, and the temple was directly demolished.Since then, the Judahs have been forced to wander around the world and have never formed their own country.

After 2000 years of wandering, although the Jews have always maintained their own national characteristics, insisted on their own religious beliefs, and insisted on writing in Hebrew letters.However, due to mixing with various ethnic groups, the language and customs of the Jews were gradually assimilated by the local residents.
