Three months had passed, and in the blink of an eye, it had entered June 1946.

These three months were chaotic for the people of Tokyo, because during these three months, the law and order in Tokyo suddenly deteriorated, and the streets were often seen fighting and slashing people.

But the strange thing is that no one came out to stop these brawls, which added a thick shadow to the hearts of the common people, who did not know how long the chaos would last.

Ever since Yoshiko Matsuda's Matsuda Gumi, together with the Takayama Brothers' Volcano Gang, defeated the Yamaguchi-gumi three months ago, the two gangs have been arresting people in the Tokyo area for the night.

It took almost a month to loot the entire Yamaguchi-gumi people sent to Tokyo, and only a small number of remnants ran back to Kobe City, the Yamaguchi-gumi's old nest, and the rest of the people were all crippled by the two gangs and thrown into the streets, leaving them to die naturally.

After Matsuda Yoshiko solved the Yamaguchi-gumi, those people in the Inagawa group took action very decisively and began to fight for the territory of the Matsuda gumi, which made the entire port area chaotic for a while, and people were hacked to death on the street every day.

According to the idea of the Inagawa group, the Matsuda group and the Yamaguchi group should be damaged in the eyes of strength, so that they should easily take down the people of the Matsuda group.

The idea was good, but the Inagawa gumi did not expect that the Yamaguchi-gumi did not cause much damage to the Matsuda gumi that night, which caused the Inagawa gumi to make a serious mistake in estimating the situation.

In addition, the Inagawa Group has not counted the people of the Volcano Gang, which led to the fact that the two sides immediately fell into a stalemate after the Inagawa Group fought against the Matsuda Group, and as time went by, the people of the Inagawa Group were slowly suppressed by the Matsuda Group and the Volcano Gang.

The personnel were suppressed, which caused the Inagawa Gumi, who had originally entered the port area to make trouble, to be pushed back little by little to their own territory, Shibuya Ward, and the battle reached this point, and everyone could see that the Inagawa Gumi had no ability to annex the Matsuda Gumi's territory at all.

Because the other party united with the volcano gang, a large gang, it is not weaker than the Inagawa group in terms of strength at all, if it continues to fight, it will only be a meaningless damage, and the most important thing is that the people of the Inagawa group will not get official support.

In order to get the support of the official, the people of the Inagawa group were looking for people everywhere, and even alarmed the leader of the Yasuda chaebol, the proprietor behind it. Yasuda Zenjiro's son-in-law, Yasuda Yuki, but they also did not receive support from the Yasuda family.

Because Chi Shang really found Iwasaki Kuya, with the friendship between the Iwasaki family and the Yasuda family, of course Yasuda Xing would not interfere in this matter.

It is for these reasons. In the end, Inagawa Seongjo personally came forward to meet with Yoshiko Matsuda and Takayama Ryuichi, and reached a settlement agreement with the two.

In the future, the three parties will not invade each other, promising each other the current status of the other, and as the first to invade, Inagawa Holy City has made certain concessions. At this point, the scuffle was completely over.

"Gollum"

A mouthful of lychee soda imported Chi Shang Zhenyi suddenly felt a strong sense of happiness, and the delicious taste of lychee kept stimulating the taste buds on his tongue.

This taste is Chi Shangzhenyi's favorite, and now he finally has a taste again, it's really not easy, which reminds him of Su Shi's poem.

At the foot of Luofu Mountain, in the spring of four o'clock, Lu orange bayberry is the newest. Eat 300 lychees a day, and don't hesitate to be a Lingnan person.

Su Dongpo once wanted to escape from the world because of his bumpy career, and because he didn't forget the national fortune and people's livelihood, he finally failed to return to the mountains and forests.

When tasting lychees in Lingnan, Su Shi's heart was in this dilemma of birth and accession.

Although Chi Shang's true meaning does not have the kind of state of mind in Su Shi's poems, this does not prevent him from loving and obsessing with lychees. Ever since Koji Iguchi told him that there were lychees in Miyazaki Prefecture, he had been quite interested in them.

After traveling to Japan, he tasted the taste of lychee again, which made Chi Shang feel a little happy.

When the soda production line was first established, Chi Shang Zhenyi specially instructed Koji Iguchi to have lychee-flavored soda, because this lychee was his favorite fruit in his previous life.

Although Ikegami and Lao Dao often wandered at the beginning, Lao Dao would always buy him some when the lychees were ripe, and this situation was still the same until the year before Lao Dao died.

The smell of lychee made Chi Shang feel relaxed, and he had been following the situation of Yoshiko Matsuda and the Takayama brothers for the past three months, although he had not personally taken action. But he was also bothered, but now it's all over.

Three months is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and it is enough time for a lot to happen. It's not just the Matsuda Group and the Volcano Gang who have come to an end, but at least Ihimo Makoi can now see through the window of the castle tower that the outer wall is almost finished.

In addition to these, Chi Shang Zhenyi can also see through his sharp eyes that a shrine that is not particularly large in scale is gradually rising from the ground.

In order to build this shrine, Chi Shang Zhenyi didn't run less, and it was originally a shrine that wouldn't have been so troublesome, but there were a lot of interests involved.

As a legal shrine temple recognized by Japan, each site will have a state-promised maintenance fee. Daily management fees, self-imposed maintenance, land exemptions, and even the cost of building the shrine need to be paid by the state, after all, it is a legal shrine recognized by the state, in addition to some miscellaneous welfare expenses.

Welfare is very good, but the most scarce thing in Japan right now is money, and the current situation is that money is being used everywhere to restore construction, and where is there spare money to build shrines.

It was precisely because of this that Chi Shang's application for the construction of the shrine was never followed, and in the end, he personally called Yasunobu Miyamoto, the minister at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, to finalize the matter.

In addition to these things, in the past three months, Koji Iguchi and Miura Castle have become members of the Progressive Party, and through the relationship of Kishigero Bihara, the two have now joined the Japanese political scene.

Among them, Koji Iguchi joined the Tokyo Information and Communications Department under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications as the head of the Communications Division. (Equivalent to a department such as the Security Bureau)

Miura Castle entered the Ministry of Railways under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in Tokyo, as a station master, this position was also specially arranged by Miyamoto Yasanobu, which is a position with oil and water and development potential, after all, Japan's railway transportation is very tight now, as a station manager of a railway station, the right to control the dispatch wagons. It's already considered a fat shortage.

The two subordinates were able to enter the officialdom and get the official position with a white body, and Chi Shang really knew that these were things that needed to be exchanged for benefits.

There is no need to say anything special about Ikeshang Zhenyi on the side of Kishigero Bihara, but Miyamoto Yasunobu's favor, he decided to give the other party the status of the foreign deacon of the shrine. And taught two magic formulas for subduing ghosts, which can be regarded as pulling them into his own side, and repaying them in this way.

For Chi Shang's true return, Miyamoto Yasanobu is particularly satisfied, and he has always had a way to find a way to cultivate.

Miyamoto Yasunobu had asked Chi Shang to accept him several times before, but he didn't get a result. But this time there was an unexpected gain.

Although he is only the external deacon of the Chishang family shrine, this has already made Miyamoto Yasunshin very excited, after all, this deacon's identity has brought him two cultivation spells, and with this identity, he can also be regarded as a member of the Chishang family.

For this reason, Miyamoto Yasunobu is more attentive to the establishment of the shrine than the owner of Chi Shang Zhenyi, and as long as he has time every day, he will definitely come to the scene to supervise the work.

For Miyamoto Yasanobu's performance, Chi Shang Zhenyi was also very happy in his heart, after all, it was good to have a minister-level supervisor subordinate.

For a period of time, Chi Shang Zhenyi has known the importance of connections, so his mind now doesn't want to be as rigid as before, all in all, he is now sharpened by society and is more tactful.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door that made Ji Shang's thoughts take back from the chaos.

"Come in"

As Chi Shang's sincere words fell, Kojima pushed the door in excitedly and came in.

"Good news, my lord. The soda just produced by our Sakura factory has already placed a purchase order for the U.S. military stationed in Japan. ”

Putting down the aluminum can in his hand, Chi Shang said to Kojima with an excited face: "Oh, these Yankees actually really purchased the soda produced by our factory, it took a lot of work, right?"

"My lord, our factory was able to sell this soda smoothly this time, thanks to the help of Major General Hanks, and with Major General Hanks' intercession, his subordinates were able to smoothly negotiate with the logistics major and ask him to agree to purchase the soda from our factory. ”

Speaking of this, Kojima paused for a moment, and continued with a look of embarrassment on his face: "But this guy is also dark enough, this guy wants us to give him a benefit fee of one cent per bottle, and this guy of lychee soda wants a benefit fee of three cents." ”

Hear Kojima say this. Chi Shang Zhenyi frowned slightly, according to the exchange of dollars and yen, the benefit fee of this cent is not a low profit, and he is a little worried about whether his factory can still make a profit with such a high rebate.

"Such a high rebate. So what price is this guy going to give us, but I know that Coca-Cola is only five cents now. ”

"My lord, although he was greedy, gave us a fair purchase price, and he gave us four cents for ordinary sodas, which is one cent less than the price of Coca-Cola. ”

"And the special lychee soda in our factory, this guy gave us a high price of twenty-five cents. The reason why we can have such a high price is thanks to the container called cans you invented, and that guy took a fancy to the outer packaging of those aluminum cans that gave us such a high purchase price. ”

Hearing that Kojima was talking about the purchase price, Chi Shang Zhenyi calculated a little in his heart, ordinary soda is purchased for four cents, and the benefit fee of one cent is that they can get three cents in their hands.

Now the black market exchange rate of the yen against the dollar has risen to 27 to 1, so that one cent is worth two seven yen, and three cents are eight dollars and one yen.

And the cost of the production of this soda was told to him last time by Kojima Masa, and the cost of materials, labor, etc., for each bottle of soda, is less than 30 yuan, and according to this algorithm, he can make a net profit of seven yuan and eight yen per bottle of ordinary soda.

The lychee soda is made because the raw materials need fresh lychees to be blended, and the special outer packaging of aluminum cans is also specially customized by Chi Shangzhenyi, so the cost of this soda is as high as three yuan and five yen, and aluminum cans account for the majority here.

The production cost of lychee soda is very high, but the purchase price given by the other party is also very high, 25 cents, and the benefit fee of 3 cents is removed, so that there is 22 cents left.

Twenty-two cents to yen is fifty-nine dollars and four yen, and the cost of removing three dollars and fives is removed. After such a round, Chi Shang Zhenyi found that he could earn 55 yen from selling a can of lychee soda, which was simply too profitable.

After the accounts were cleared, Chi Shang really thought in his heart: "No wonder they all like to do business with Yankees, this is simply too profitable." ”

"The price is pretty good. The other party is greedy, just be greedy, anyway, the wool is out of the sheep, so what is the amount of purchase by these people. ”

As for the question of his own adult, Kojima didn't think too much about it, and immediately gave the answer.

"That logistics major ordered 100,000 bottles of ordinary soda every month like our factory. There are only 5,000 bottles of top-quality lychee-flavored soda per month. ”

The answer that Kojima said made Chi Shang Zhenyi a little surprised, and he felt that this order did not seem to be as many as he imagined.

In Chi Shangzhen's impression, there were tens of thousands of US troops stationed in Japan, so who could drink such a soda order? At that moment, he asked the question in his heart.

"Your subordinates have inquired with Major General Hanks, the number of US troops stationed in Japan is less than 50,000 per day, and their normal soldiers supply two cans of drinks a day, the reason why our factory only takes these orders, in addition to our own production capacity can not keep up, more importantly, most of the share of soda in the barracks is occupied by Coca-Cola, and it is difficult for foreign brands like us to occupy a share. ”

Kojima Masa's statement, Chi Shang's true meaning, immediately understood. In addition to Coca-Cola's strong brand, the most important thing should be that the United States is protecting its own products, after all, it is impossible for the other side to support foreign investors from other countries.

After thinking about the key, Chi Shang really felt that he should give Hanks a gift back after a while, and return the favor this time, if his estimate was correct, if there was no major general Hanks this time, Kojima would never have the opportunity to become a logistics supplier to the US military, even if he gave the other party a kickback.

There is no way to give gifts, but Chi Shangzhen has seen a lot, and he doesn't think that his family has a strong ability to work.

"Your Excellency. When my subordinates went to the Logistics Department of the US military stationed in Japan yesterday to hand over the cans of soda, they met the person in charge of the Japanese affairs of the Coca-Cola Company, and the other party saw the aluminum cans of lychee drinks in our factory. I want to buy this patent with my subordinates. ”

Kojima's words surprised Chi Shang Zhenyi, but he quickly figured it out, apparently Coca-Cola, the head of Japanese affairs, saw the future of such a management, and wanted to equip his own company's drinks as well.

This can was originally made in advance by Chi Shangzhen in order to improve the grade of the lychee drink, and in his memory, the can seems to have appeared in more than five years. He couldn't remember exactly when.

However, Chi Shang really knows that since the invention of cans appeared, it was quickly accepted by all beverage manufacturers, and this situation has continued, and almost all beverage companies in the world are using cans as a beverage packaging before he has crossed in later generations.

It is precisely because he knows the future of this can, so when he was looking for someone to design it, he ordered Koji Iguchi to send someone to apply for a patent all over the world, and he asked people to apply for it in every country where the patent was recognized, in order to prevent others from stealing it without permission.

"Oh, the patent for buying cans, this person in charge of Coca-Cola's Japanese affairs is still very discerning, how much money is he going to pay?"

Listening to his lord's slightly mocking tone, Kojima guessed that his lord should not be optimistic about the Yankees' trade request.

"My lord, the person in charge of Coca-Cola in Japan said that he could buy the patent right to use cans for 50,000 US dollars, and that our factory can continue to use them in the future. ”

Kojima's words made Chi Shang Zhenyi laugh secretly in his heart, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: "I want to take away the patent for cans for 50,000 dollars, cunning Yankee!"

Although the value of the patent for cans is not very clear, a mere $50,000 simply does not match the value of the product itself.

If Chi Shang Zhenyi sells the patent for this can for $50,000 now, he will regret it later, not to mention that in the next few decades, the license of those big beverage companies will far exceed this amount.

"Kojima, the next time you see the person in charge of Coca-Cola's Japanese affairs, you directly tell him that we will give them a five-year production license for Coca-Cola for 50,000 dollars, and if they want a patent, then you ask him to come up with 5 million dollars now, and there is no need to talk about it if it is less than that. ”

This amount is still a bit of a lion's mouth, and the current five million dollars is quite a high amount. He also didn't know whether the other party would completely buy out the can patent in his hand.

Although he is not sure whether the other party will buy out the patent, Chi Shang sincerely believes that the other party will definitely spend money to buy the license.

After all, if this aluminum can is used in beverages, it will be several grades higher in grade than the current glass bottle, and the gap between the two sides can be seen at a glance.

If only the Coca-Cola Company could now have Coca-Cola in aluminum cans. The other party will definitely rely on this to quickly raise the level of Coca-Cola, a beverage brand, by several levels, and even enter the banquet of the wealthy class.

(The Coca-Cola Company was founded on May 8, 1886 and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.) ）

(Prior to 1961, Coca-Cola was not allowed to enter the upper class banquets in the United States because of the popularity of Coca-Cola bottles.) Such a bottle made the rich people think that it would be very bad to bring it to the banquet, so the drinks at the banquet at that time were mainly freshly squeezed juices. ）

(It wasn't until 1961 that Coca-Cola's drinks were inferior to those of the upper class of the banquet, when Coca-Cola produced aluminum canned Coca-Cola, and this high-grade packaging was immediately accepted by the upper class at the time.) ）

As long as the leaders of Coca-Cola are not broken, they should be able to think of this, and it is precisely because of this that Chi Shang will conclude that the other party will buy his own can license.

Unlike Ikesang, who understands the future in his heart, Kojima is unlikely to be that far away as a Japanese in the current era.

So when Kojima heard that his adult wanted to use $50,000 to authorize the other party for five years, or $5 million to buy out the patent, he felt a little messy in his heart, feeling that such conditions were a bit too harsh, and the other party should not agree.

Although as a subordinate, you should not question your own adult's decision. But Kojima still thinks that he should mention it to his own adults a little, so that he can be regarded as fulfilling his responsibilities as a subordinate.

"My lord, I'm afraid the other party will not accept this condition. ”

Seeing that Kojima was cautiously speaking, Chi Shang Zhenyi felt very comfortable in his heart, it was a good thing that his subordinates could think about him, and he would not blindly follow his decision.

Although his subordinates slightly rebelled against their own wishes, Chi Shang still hoped that every subordinate could maintain such a habit.

After all, Chi Shang Zhenyi is not a god, he will also make mistakes, and his head sometimes has a time when he can't think clearly, and at this time, his subordinates can come out and give advice. This will allow him to avoid some unnecessary mistakes.

"If the other party doesn't accept it, they won't accept it, and even if they don't accept it now, I'm sure it won't be long before they come to the door again, so you just do what I say. ”

"Hi"

"How is it feeling these days? Is the takeover of the factory going well, and are there any obstacles?"

Hearing his adult's question, Kojima hurriedly told him about his situation during this time.

"The subordinates have finally gotten their hands on the things in the factory these days, and it won't be as chaotic as at the beginning, it's all because the subordinates are stupid, and it was a very good situation when Iguchi-kun left, but after the subordinates took over, there were constant troubles. It's really a big worry for adults. ”

Looking at Kojima Masa, who bowed his head in shame, Chi Shang sincerely said with relief: "It's normal to take over some mistakes and troubles just now, now that you have started it, let's do it well and strive to sell Sakura brand food to all parts of Japan." ”

The encouragement of the adults made Kojima's heart feel hot, which made him abandon all the unsmooth days of the previous days, and there was no trace of decadence in his heart, and all that was left was motivation.

"Hey, please rest assured, Kojima will do his best to strengthen the Sakura brand, and strive to make our Sakura brand like a real cherry blossom, so that all Japanese people will love it, and our subordinates will work hard for the cherry blossoms to bloom." ”

For Kojima Masa's ambitions, Ikesho is very supportive, and he also wants his factory to grow and grow.

"Tsuramo Mayouichi (very good), that's a good point, the cherry blossoms are blooming, and I'm looking forward to that day!" (To be continued.) )
