Chapter 258: Deciphering Office

On May 5, 1940, the codebreaking office was officially opened.

There were no signs, no firecrackers, no gongs and drums.

In Zhou Lin's words, how can we feel like we are sneaky.

In addition to the staff of the Decipherment Division, there were only two and a half outsiders left.

Yamada and Kobayashi, two outsiders, Zhou Lin is half a person, because his main energy is not placed here, so he can only be counted as half.

Don't look at it as a small building, oh! It should be counted as three small buildings.

He is said to be a building because the office building is a building.

He said that he had three buildings because in addition to the office building, there were two small buildings.

It was a residential building, which served as a residence for the staff of the Decipherment Service. One for men and one for women, separated by a small river with a small wooden bridge over it.

The decipherment office is a semi-enclosed unit, and basically the staff live in it, and they are not allowed to go out if they have nothing to do. But several section chiefs are old fritters transferred from outside, and they can't afford to live in those two small buildings, how can they spend all day drinking here?

In the end, it was reported to Yamada, but I didn't expect Yamada to approve it.

So, they drove to and from work every day, and the car was borrowed from their original employer.

They also wanted to ask Zhou Lin for a car, but Zhou Lin said: If you have achievements, you will have a car.

There are a total of five sections in the Decipherment Division, and in addition to the General Affairs Section and the Confidential Section, three sections have been set up: the Yan'an System Code Breaking Section; Chongqing System Coding Section; Other System Code Breaking Section.

Other systems refer to the intelligence personnel of various countries, the agencies of various countries in China, the sea voyages, and other civilian units and individuals in the Pearl Pearl.

Among them, the first section (Chongqing system code breaking department) and the second department (Yan'an system code breaking department) are the most concerned.

Wu Mingtao, on the other hand, is the chief codebreaker and the business leader of the first, second, and third sections.

As for the General Affairs Section and the Confidential Affairs Section, they are places that Wu Mingtao can't reach.

These two sections are directly under the jurisdiction of Zhou Lin, and the prestige of the director is reflected in this.

After Zhou Lin held a meeting with them, the section chiefs took their own responsibilities and grasped their own one-third of an acre, and Zhou Lin left the black room.

Kobayashi Hanama waited for Zhou Lin in the office of the wharf.

As soon as he asked, Zhou Lin smiled, it turned out that Xiaolin and Huajian had no money.

Manganese was made for two months and made some money, but now there is no demand for purchases from the United States, so it has been temporarily stopped.

After the business stopped, there was no money coming in, which made it very uncomfortable for the two who counted the money every day.

Seeing that their deposits did not increase, but decreased downward, which made them crazy, so they found the dock and found Zhou Lin, who could make money, to find a way.

Zhou Lin took out a bottle of red wine: "Not only are you anxious, but I am also anxious!" A year ago, every time it was tens of thousands of oceans, now, it only takes a few months to earn thousands of oceans, bitter! ”

This "bitter! It aroused the sadness between Xiaolin and the flowers.

"I don't care, I came to the dock today just to let you give us an idea to make money." Hanama said toughly.

Zhou Lin disagreed, and was pressed to the ground by Xiaolin and Hanama.

It happened that Xiangjun came in to find Zhou Lin, and when he saw it, Xiangjun exclaimed, "What are you doing?" ”

Xiao Lin and Hua Jian hurriedly explained, and Xiangjun was relieved.

Suddenly, Kobayashi and Hanama stared at Xiangjun without blinking.

Xiangjun was taken aback: These two people are not normal today! Is it a hormonal overload?

Xiangjun hurriedly put down the things in his hand and clenched his fists to prepare for self-defense.

But then, Xiangjun froze, and the two people picked up the things she had put down.

Xiangjun's face is red! Thankfully, she hasn't used it yet.

"Where did this thing come from?" Kobayashi and Hanama asked hurriedly.

Xiangjun pointed at Zhou Lin: "My husband gave it to me, saying what is the United States and what is ......?"

"DuPont USA." Xiao Lin and Hua Jun said together.

"That's right! General daily necessities produced by DuPont in the United States. Xiangjun said.

"Ordinary household items? Do you know? DuPont stores in the U.S. cost $2 a pair for wholesale and $5 a pair in the U.S. market. In Tokyo, it costs ten dollars a pair. In the Pearl, oh, the Pearl is not sold. Hanama said.

"Husband! Is it really that expensive? Xiangjun said with a short breath.

"They're right, it's the craziest business in the world right now."

Zhou Lin is right, now the world has been driven crazy by nylon stockings.

In 1937, Carothers, a chemical engineer at DuPont in the United States, accidentally discovered that a mixture of coal tar, air and water melted at high temperature to produce a hard, wear-resistant, delicate and flexible filament like a shredded potato, which is nylon.

The birth of nylon defeated the Japanese silk export industry, which was rampant at the time, and became the best material for the manufacture of silk hosiery.

At the beginning of the 40s, in order to promote nylon stockings, DuPont, the founder of nylon stockings, ordered the female secretaries in the company to wear stockings to work every day, inadvertently exuding an ambiguous smell and making men feel an unprecedented sexy interest.

Under the huge advertising effect and word-of-mouth public opinion, stockings have become the most fashionable clothing in the world.

Advertisements for socks were as overwhelming as chocolate, laundry detergent and instant coffee, and women's craze for stockings became a big business of the century.

As a symbol of sensuality and fashion, nylon stockings became the object of all women's pursuit after their launch in the early 1940s, even at the cost of $5 a pair.

A pair of stockings costs twice as much as a lavish French meal.

A shop selling stockings was even smashed-up by frenzied snappers, causing several women to faint on the spot.

This is definitely not the only one who breaks through the threshold for a pair of socks.

According to relevant information, the first batch of nylon stockings went on sale in New York on February 15, 1940, selling more than 70,000 pairs in one day, and the Americans "grabbed" 3.9 million pairs of nylon socks within two months.

And the crazy ladies and ladies around the world force the big businessmen of their respective countries to line up outside the DuPont company in the United States to get nylon stockings.

The Americans thought they were homeless foreigners who had wandered to the United States, and kindly gave them bread and water.

Seeing the nylon stockings in front of him, Xiaolin, Hanama, and Zhou Lin laughed together.

When there is a way to do business, they sell nylon stockings, and there is no business that can make more money than this.

Soon, their team was expanded with more people.

First of all, it was Tanaka who joined, this is Zhou Lin's hair, and he is indispensable.

The second is the Fourth Division, they somehow know, Zhou Lin estimated that it might be Tanaka who said it, Tanaka was in front of the family, and even he would explain it clearly when he entered Yihong Courtyard a few times.

The arrival of Yamashita has greatly increased the strength of their team.

But it's not enough to have money but no goods! Eventually, they pulled Smith in again.

These are the main contributors, Smith does not need to pay, he also participates in dividends. All he had to do was get the goods in the U.S. and transfer them to Pearl by plane in the air.

The Fourth Division was responsible for receiving the goods at the airport, and when the goods arrived, Smith, an American Yankee, negotiated with others to wholesale nylon stockings to Chinese merchants. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
