China's coastline gradually disappeared from Chentian's sight.

"Little Japan, I'm coming!" Standing on the bow of the "Little Medusa", Chen Tian showed a sly smile.

At the Tokyo Bay Pier in Japan, the ship gradually docked, and Chen Tian saw a thin old man standing in the cold wind, a familiar figure.

"Your Highness, you're here!"

"Hmmm! Zach, thank you! Is everything ready? ”

"Back to Your Highness, everything is ready!"

"Did you find the right person?"

"I've found it! Let's go see him now! ”

Secret room of the German Consulate.

Zach led Tatsuten into the secret room, where there was a young Japanese man and a German officer. Seeing Chentian come in, they all stood up.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness! I'm German Army Lieutenant Link, translator here! The officer saluted.

"Is it reliable?" Chentian glanced at him and whispered softly in Zach's ear.

"Yes, Your Highness! His father was an officer in the East Prussian Regiment and was very loyal to our family. ”

"Hmmm! Lieutenant Link! Follow us is very promising! Tatsuten patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to introduce the young Japanese.

"This is Tokugawa Isshin, he is a descendant of the Tokugawa family! He said that as long as we help the Tokugawa family regain the power they did in the shogunate era, he will be willing to cooperate with us in anything! ”

"Foolish dreams!" Chen Tian said softly, this is as stupid as someone in the last years of the Qing Dynasty who said that he wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but he needs to use such a Japanese now.

"Hmmm! Very good! You tell him that I am the Prince of East Prussia of Germany, and I promise that as long as he cooperates with us well, we will fully cooperate with them in the comeback of the Tokugawa family, asking for money for money, and weapons for weapons. ”

Link then translated it to the young Japanese man as it was, and after he listened, he bowed to the heavens.

"Hey!"

"Then he agrees!" Chen Tian nodded, "Zach, you settle him well!" Then let's talk about our plans! ”

At dawn the next day, Chen Tian and Zach walked out of the secret room tiredly.

"Zach, I'm here for you!"

"Yes! Your Highness! ”

A week later, the first "Eat and Eat" restaurant opened in Tokyo, a large restaurant that mainly serves fast food, but also traditional Japanese, Chinese and Western food, registered under the name Tokugawa Isnobu.

Within a few months, there were "want to eat" branches all over Japan with huge signs: new stores open, free tastings for 7 days! For a while, local people rushed to enjoy lunch without money, and some even came from dozens of miles away.

People find the food there to be very tasty, and they miss it after a few days of not eating it. Although the food in the restaurant is medium-priced, people of all ages, rich and poor, often go there to eat, and everyone "wants to eat" every day. People greet each other with the slogan: "Do you still want to eat after you went today?"

Gradually, Zack's cherry husks purchased from India at low prices and the residues left over from opium refining were not enough, so he had to increase the purchase and transportation again and again. Fortunately, Chentian informed Zack to start preparing funds before he left Germany, and when Zach received Chentian's telegram from Germany, he brought most of Chentian's belongings from Germany, so he barely had difficulties in capital operation.

All this Tokugawa Isshin and all the restaurant staff did not know, they only knew that they needed to add a special soup stock to all kinds of ordinary food, in fact, people would not have a very serious dependence after eating, but subconsciously told themselves that the food here was very delicious and wanted to eat!

Although the Tokugawa family no longer has much say in the Japanese government, the family background is still relatively rich, so the Japanese people and the government have not reacted too strongly to this phenomenon.

In the first year, under Zack's careful calculation, Chentian's investment doubled more than a dozen times, and Tokugawa Kazushin only received a symbolic "endorsement fee".

In the second year, according to Chentian's plan, in addition to continuing to open more branches of "eating and still wanting to eat", Zach also used the remaining funds to open many retail stores in various places to "buy and want to buy". "I want to buy it and want to buy it" shouted out new slogans such as buy one get one free, prize sales, etc., and the Japanese people who like to be greedy for small and cheap continue to rush to it and make money! When the happy Japanese people meet, they ask: Did you buy it today?

At the beginning of the third year, there were nearly 1,000 stores in Japan and 200 stores in Japan. Due to the declining purchasing power of the Japanese people, and the gradual adoption of the method of sales and prize sales by Japanese stores, Tatsuten told Zach to sell all the branches that "I still want to eat after eating" and "I want to buy after buying" to Japanese merchants at a high price. Because the business of "wanting to eat after eating" and "wanting to buy after buying" is so good, merchants from all over Japan have even taken out loans to buy their branches. The "I want to eat" and "I want to buy and buy" branches are sold for 100,000 to 500,000 yen and 100,000 to 200,000 yen respectively depending on the size, and the revenue of Tatsuten alone is about 300 million yen, and the total capital of Japanese companies at that time was only about 1 billion yen.

In just over two years, Chen Tian has made a lot of brains and fat, and he has become a super nouveau riche, and the Japanese people are surprised to find that they have few cents in their pockets, and they find that their abilities are much weaker than before at night.

After that, Tatsu asked Zach to convert most of the funds into silver or precious stones and ship them out of Japan, most of them to invest in East Prussia to build factories and shipyards, and to improve the living facilities of the local people, and part of it to invest in the establishment of a large arms factory in Qingdao, and the rest for reserves.

Some of the money left in Japan was used to issue usury loans in the name of Tokugawa Isshin, and regular lottery draws were held in the cities, as well as mobile lottery stalls to travel between villages. In Japan, from time to time, people go crazy and shout: I won the lottery! I'm a rich man! For a time, even the money of the Japanese peasant uncle began to flow into Chentian's pocket. What if the farmer's uncle's money is used to buy lottery tickets, but he has no money to buy seeds and tools? It is possible to borrow usury. What if you can't afford to pay off the loan shark? Sell your sons, sell your daughters, sell your wives!

Due to the continuous decline of the consumption level of the Japanese people by N percentage points, half a year later, the businessmen who bought "eat and eat" and "buy and buy" went bankrupt at a loss, and many people were on the verge of bankruptcy.

While Zach was helping Tatsuten count the money in Japan and had cramps, Tatsuten continued his voyage around the world.

Tatsuten still remembered his promise that whenever he went to a post office, he would send a letter to the Austrian palace from there, even though he knew that there might be many letters that would not be delivered.

After seeing the original scenery of Oceania, Chen Tian came to the American continent with the "Little Medusa". Most of the interior of the Americas is very barren, but some coastal cities, especially those in the United States, are growing at an alarming rate. This made Chen Tian very emotional, no wonder the Germans tasted the bitter fruit of defeat twice because of the participation of the United States in both world wars. Americans are very realistic, basically they make enough money first, and then see who is stronger and go over to help, in short, try to make profits. Chen Tian remembered that he had read a report before, saying that before World War I, the German General Staff had planned a sneak attack on the United States to force its peace talks, and only about 100,000 troops and enough logistics supplies were needed. However, due to the stalemate in Europe and the lack of navy, this plan had to be shelved.

"Either don't provoke him, or beat him until he's afraid!" When leaving the American port, Chen Tian stood at the stern of the ship and looked at the rich land, and said to himself secretly.

Eventually, after a year and a half of sailing, Chentian returned to Germany in early 1901 after circumnavigating most of the world. He will return to East Prussia and the East Prussian Corps, where he belongs, and begin to build his own world.
