Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 369 Not only safe, but also convenient

After a period of peace and quiet, Lin Ze became busy again.

This time it wasn't because of any business, but because he was moving.

I have been planning to move the house for a long time. After all, this place is no longer suitable for Director Lin, who is at the peak of his career, no matter in terms of location or status. Apart from anything else, the house doesn't even have a flower hall, which makes it inconvenient for receiving guests. I can't ask the women to hide in the house when guests come.

But because Lin Ze was always busy and had no time to look for a suitable house, he was able to move this time thanks to Miyamoto.

Miyamoto came back from Tianjin some time ago. After staying there for less than two days, he came excitedly to find Lin Ze.

"Lin-san, I have something to discuss with you!"

Lin Ze was amused and quickly said, "Mr. Miyamoto, I also have something to discuss with you."

Miyamoto was surprised and said, "Oh? Mr. Lin, do you want to ask about the situation of the Jinmen factory? Don't worry, it is running very well and has made a profit. Dividends will be distributed at the end of the year. Mr. Yamaguchi is doing a good job there. He is a very hardworking person."

Lin Ze asked him to come in. "It's not about the Jinmen factory. How can I not be at ease if you are watching over it in Jinmen? As for whether there will be dividends or not, those are all external things. What I value is money? It's our friendship!"

Miyamoto was very happy and sat down at the table. "Mr. Lin is right. Let's do something together. It's mainly for our friendship. You and I are really kindred spirits. Haha!"

Lin Ze's hand trembled as he was making tea, and some tea spilled. He calmly handed the teacup to Miyamoto.

"Miyamoto-kun, let's not talk about that for now. I have something very important to discuss with you. How about we build a cigarette factory?"

Miyamoto was stunned. "You want to sell opium?"

Lin Ze waved his hands quickly, "Hey, what are you thinking? How could I get that stuff? Besides, don't I know who is behind those businesses? Since we can open a factory, why bother with that stuff?"

Miyamoto nodded repeatedly, "That's good, the opium business is really not as good as opening a factory."

Some people may wonder, isn’t drug trafficking worse than running a factory?

The reality is that unless all links in the production and sales chain are opened up, it is not certain that you will make a lot of money in the opium business.

Let’s talk about production first. From planting to scraping the opium paste and then boiling it, does this process make money?

To make money, you can earn one or two hundred dollars’ profit from an acre of opium.

But the key problem is that the money can't reach the growers or the tobacco growers. It's all in the hands of the garrison. Only they can collect tobacco in their jurisdiction. If others want to collect it, they can expect to be shot!

So how do tobacco dealers make money? They buy tobacco paste from the place of production, distribute it to many tobacco shops, and then the tobacco shops sell it to smokers.

This money is not easy to make. Every time you go to a place, you have to pay tribute to various gods and Buddhas. Besides, not everyone can open a tobacco shop.

For ordinary people, this amount of money is a lot, but for factory owners like Lin Ze and Miyamoto, it is nothing.

What is the most expensive thing these days? Industrial products are the most expensive.

Then again, even if he could make money by selling opium, Lin Ze would not do it.

This is so unethical.

"Miyamoto-kun, I have a production line from British American Tobacco. Swire & Co. has contacted me and the goods will arrive soon. I want to place it in Tianjin. What do you think?"

Miyamoto almost jumped up, "Lin-san, what did you make?"

Lin Ze took out a pack of cannons, "This is the production line for producing this stuff."

Miyamoto was confused, "You can get this too?"

He knew that Lin Ze was no longer the same person he used to be, but he really didn't expect that Lin Ze could actually get this thing.

Why have tobacco products from British and American companies been so popular for decades, suppressing domestic products? The main reason is two words: cheap.

Why is it so cheap?

That is because of cheap raw materials, advanced production equipment, and high management level.

If he wants to replicate the success of British American Tobacco, he can get cheap tobacco leaves. With Miyamoto's ability, it is very easy to get tobacco leaves. He also needs a higher level of management, which is also possible.

The only thing that is difficult is the production equipment.

Lin Ze explained: "Didn't I go to Zhangjiazhuang and meet a new friend, Jin Jing Zhang Er? He has a lot of connections and is very capable, so everything went smoothly."

Miyamoto understood that this production line was created by Kanai Shoji as a gift to Lin Ze!

It really cost a lot of money!

He also heard about the name of Kanai Shoji when he came back these two days. After all, he was spending money like crazy in Peiping and made a lot of friends. There were also many business opportunities outside the city, so Miyamoto was certainly paying attention to it.

What he didn't expect was that Lin Sang has really grown to this point!

His current status is probably not much different from Kitahara-kun's previous status, right?

Thinking of this, Miyamoto's tone became more humble again, "Lin-san, do you mean that we should continue to cooperate?"

It’s not that Lin Ze has never thought about doing it himself, but firstly, he doesn’t have that much energy, and secondly, Miyamoto has ready-made experience and sales system, so cooperation is a better choice. Of course, the profit sharing needs to be discussed carefully.

"Miyamoto-kun, let's be honest. In the production of cigarettes, manufacturing is the key, and sales are also the key. I have a production line, and you have a channel. Why don't we cooperate again, not for money, but for friendship! How do you think?"

Miyamoto thought seriously for a while and said, "Lin-san, for the sake of friendship, how about you take 70% and I take 30%?"

Lin Ze laughed, "Miyamoto-kun, what's the difference? As long as you ask, even if it's 30% for me and 70% for you, I'm willing to agree, ok?"

Miyamoto thought for a while and gritted his teeth, "Lin-san, how about this, you pay 80% and I pay 20%, and you take care of the finances, is that ok?"

This time, Lin Ze picked up the teacup and clinked it with Miyamoto's. "Look, why are you being so polite? Let's do as you say."

In fact, Miyamoto is responsible for operations and providing channels, and giving him 20% is just hard-earned money.

But as a businessman, what he invests in is the future. Lin Ze's rise is too fast. The two of them have finally established such a good relationship. If he doesn't express it now, when will he express it?

After the matter was settled, the atmosphere became much better.

Lin Ze asked: "Miyamoto-kun, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Miyamoto chuckled, "Mr. Lin, let's move together! I have two houses on Chenghuangmiao Street, next to each other. Although they are not too big, they are three courtyards. Let's go and take a look?"

Lin Ze suspected that Miyamoto definitely had some special hobby.

Are there still people who are eager to give away houses and beg to be my neighbor?

Seeing Lin Ze's suspicious look, Miyamoto hurriedly said: "Lin-san, please don't misunderstand me. I think it's safe to live next to you!"

Yes, it is not only safe, but also convenient!
