"Becky, don't be nervous, the reason I don't want this thing is because it can sell for a higher price, you're right, these Cokes are antiques. Xiao Peng said.

Becky was stunned when she heard Xiao Peng's words: "You're not joking with me, are you?

Xiao Peng nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, these Cokes can be sold for at least two thousand dollars each." ”

"How much?" Becky was stunned, "Friend, aren't you kidding me? This Coke sells for two thousand dollars a piece? I'm not even sure if it's a real Coca-Cola!"

Xiao Peng said: "Okay, Becky, I'm not kidding you, this is indeed Coca-Cola, which is why I am optimistic about it, because he is the only colorless Coca-Cola." ”

Because of World War II, cola has become synonymous with the Stars and Stripes, and it can symbolize a 'sweet cooking system'. It can also symbolize 'the imperial-ism-rule of the 'joining honey'. It depends on which side you're on。。。。。。 And Coca-Cola is undoubtedly the largest cola merchant in the world.

As the saying goes, when the war comes, the military industrial enterprises that produce guns, ammunition, aircraft, and artillery will naturally become the biggest winners, making a lot of money, and even some daily necessities and food enterprises will also obtain a large number of military orders, and the harvest will be guaranteed in drought and flood.

For example, the famous Spam luncheon meat, Wrigley chewing gum, camel brand cigarettes, etc., are all famous through World War II, but they are really small compared to Coca-Cola.

Because the biggest contributor to Coca-Cola's expansion turned out to be not the Stars and Stripes, but the Germanic countries.

Rebus, the head of Coca-Cola's Germanic division, was also a strange man, and his propaganda strategy in Germany was to shoot Hitler's sycophants wildly: as long as any newspaper had an advertisement for Hitler, it would definitely follow the Coca-Cola advertisement, and through all communication channels to promote the localization of Coca-Cola's image, and participate heavily in various Nazi activities, such as escorting trucks for Hitler Youth's rallies, or sponsoring various exhibitions held by the Nazis, and even the most famous slogans of the Nazis' 'One nation, one empire, one Führer', also changed by Coca-Cola to 'One nation, one empire, one glass of Coke.' In short, all kinds of kneeling and licking, eager to set up a loudspeaker on the Brandenburg Gate, and sing the praises of his loving father Hitler as the great savior of the German people every day. Almost all Germans thought that this Coca-Cola was a Germanic company. Even after the end of World War II, a group of Germanic prisoners of war who were escorted to New Jersey saw the Coca-Cola billboard on the side of the road and asked the escorted Stars and Stripes soldiers in surprise, 'Do you have Coca-Cola in the Stars and Stripes Country?'

Well, in fact, Coca-Cola itself is a drug, and people have not hidden it, his name tells everyone this fact: COCA- means coca, and COLA is a kola nut from Africa.

Coca is a plant, a leaf that the Indians began to chew a long time ago, known as 'holy grass', and his extract is coca-base, speaking of coca-alkali may not be known to many people, then another name is very familiar to everyone: cocaine. That is, one of the most popular drugs.

And African kola nuts contain a certain amount of caffeine, cocaine plus caffeine, plus caramel, edible oil and flavors have been formulated in various ways, that is Coca-Cola.

However, in 1933, the Coca-Cola Company announced that it had completely eliminated the cocaine component, so Coca-Cola is completely legal today. Uh, don't ask Xiao Peng what Coca-Cola can still retain its original taste after canceling those ingredients in it, after all, Coca-Cola's formula has always been the biggest secret in the world, isn't it?

Of course, Coca-Cola was only a local brand of the Stars and Stripes for a long time, and it was not known to outsiders, and after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the Stars and Stripes declared war on the Japanese countries, and there was a steady stream of Stars and Stripes soldiers sent to the front line. It was then that the Coca-Cola Company suddenly realized that if it wanted to achieve its goal of 'getting the world to drink Coca-Cola', the Stars and Stripes that had entered the war were the best consumers and salesmen.

So the Coca-Cola Company immediately made a public statement: "In order to support the just war of the motherland, no matter where our soldiers go, Coca-Cola will do whatever it takes to ensure that each soldier can drink a bottle of Coca-Cola from his hometown for only five cents." ’

The Coca-Cola Company wanted to export bottled Coca-Cola directly, but although they also had privileges, they still could not enjoy the priority of military shipping, so they came up with another set of plans, modeled after the use of dehydrated food by the army of the Stars and Stripes, bottling Coca-Cola concentrate, and trying to set up a bottling plant in the garrison area (this method is still used by Coca-Cola, including Coke machines in places such as KFC, and domestic Coca-Cola manufacturers also use this method). The Coca-Cola Company sent a total of 248 people abroad with the army, and some even had military positions, known as 'Colonels of Coca-Cola', which can be compared to the soldiers who repair planes and tanks.

In addition to the North and South Poles, Coca-Cola in the Stars and Stripes established a total of 64 bottling plants during the war, selling a total of 10 billion bottles of Coca-Cola from the jungles of New Guinea to the officers' clubs in the Rivilana of Gaul! This does not include the sales of the Germanic Coca-Cola Company.

The Germans sold even more Coca-Cola than the Stars and Stripes! They were really crazy about Coca-Cola! But they also faced a problem: when the war broke out, the Germans and the Stars and Stripes completely cut off their trade. The Coca-Cola Company in Germany has no supply of Coca-Cola concentrate!

But the Germanic Coca-Cola Company also had a way of bringing together the best chemists in Germania at the time to work on alternative products. But supplies such as caramel were very scarce during the war, and there was basically no way to produce a drink similar to Coca-Cola, so we had to find another way.

It was the season of the apple harvest in Germania, and there was no other fruit to be made during the war. Eventually, the chemists came up with rotten apples and worked together to produce a new drink, Fanta (the name is German, meaning fantasy). The earliest and purest Fanta is only apple-flavored.

As a result, World War II became a war between the Stars and Stripes soldiers drinking Coca-Cola and the Germanic soldiers drinking Fanta, and the two sides fought while contributing to the Coca-Cola Company. During the entire World War II, the most successful private enterprise must be the Coca-Cola Company.

One of the biggest lovers of Coca-Cola was Eisenhower, the general of the Stars and Stripes at the time, who was not only responsible for supplying the troops of the Stars and Stripes, but also recommended Coca-Cola to the famous Soviet general Zhukov. Zhukov is arguably the most decorated soldier in the history of the Soviet Union, and played a major role in the Allied victory over the Nazis. The grumpy general had protected Moscow from Hitler's most powerful army, and later in Stalingrad he had overcome the Germanic resistance, lifted the siege of the Germanic army in Leningrad, and fought bloodily for the Soviet advance from Warsaw to Berlin.

When Eisenhower introduced Coca-Cola to Zhukov, the Soviet Hero quickly became addicted to Coca-Cola, and when the war ended, Zhukov was dumbfounded because the Soviet Union banned the sale of the drink at the time. In order to drink Coke, Zhukov willingly risked being exiled to Siberia, and through his old comrade-in-arms, General Eisenhower, he contacted Truman, the president of the Stars and Stripes Nation at the time. The president personally ordered the Coca-Cola Company to develop the 'White Coke', a colorless Coca-Cola packaged in a clear glass white lid and marked with a red five-pointed star.

It's an outrageous demand, but the key Coca-Cola head in Europe, Muradin Zarubica, has come up with a way to remove the artificially added color from Coca-Cola with a chemical agent and turn it into a colorless liquid like vodka in a bottle with a red five-pointed star printed on it. This Coca-Cola was secretly offered to Zhukov. It is rarely seen in the market.

Later, when Zhukov fell out of favor with the Soviet leadership and was seen as a potential rival of Stalin, his apartment in Moscow was raided and it was discovered that he had been stockpiling trophies from Germanic looting, including jewelry, carpets, silks, fur goods, paintings, wine, etc., including the white bottle of Coke. As a result, this white bottle of Coke has become a treasure in the eyes of Coke collectors due to its scarcity in quantity.

However, it is different from other cola collections, because this kind of cola is an ordinary transparent glass bottle, and there is no trademark or anything, so the bottle collection value of this kind of cola is not high, and the value of the coke on the bottle is relatively high. But Becky's 12 bottles of Coke are unopened Coke, and their natural value is even higher.

Xiao Peng had read the introduction of this kind of cola in the book, so this was the reason why he wanted to buy this thing, and five hundred dollars was a big bargain for him. But when he heard that the Beckies had no children and were struggling for five hundred dollars, his heart softened. To give the Coke back to Becky.

However, Xiao Peng was wrong about one thing, he knew the origin of this coke, but he misestimated the value of this coke.

There are really a lot of Coca-Cola collectors in the Stars and Stripes, who collect everything about Coca-Cola: bottles, bottle caps, posters, related derivative products, giveaways, etc., etc., and there are quite a few such people, and several exhibitions and exchanges are held every year, exchanging and selling collections with each other. In their eyes, the value of this 'Zhukov Coke' is extremely amazing. Xiao Peng seriously underestimated the value of this coke.

Becky listened to Xiao Peng talk about the value of this coke, and thought for a while: "Friend, thank you, I am not wrong, you are indeed a good person, but there is one thing I think you have done wrong." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "What did I do wrong?"

Becky laughed, "I've sold you these Cokes for five hundred dollars, and now they're yours." I have violated my faith by cheating you at the beginning for $500, and if I accept your help now because I know its value, I will lose my self-esteem again. So, Xiao, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept these cokes. ”

When Yang Meng heard this, he was anxious: ", no wonder you are so poor, you don't want to give you money, you have to die to save face and suffer crimes?
