Describe Kent in one sentence: he has perseverance, perseverance and courage, but he has no luck, and every opportunity to make a fortune is missed by Kent, so that Kent has been living at the bottom of the businessman.

Some time ago, Kent accidentally got a good news, Kent felt that this was a good opportunity for him to make a fortune, once he could succeed, his net worth could be more than ten times at once, so that Kent's social status increased with the increase of his net worth.

Kent decided to give it a go, and if he succeeded, he could spend the rest of his life richly, and even be able to leave a large fortune for his descendants, and if he failed, he would at most let himself return to his previous life.

So Kent went into action, and Kent now sold most of his assets, leaving only a house, but with an extra $7,000 in his hand, and then Kent used most of the $7,000 to buy goods, and the remaining dollars were used to pay for the ship's fare, and the last part was used for emergencies.

When everything was done, Kent said goodbye to his wife and children, and set out on the voyage to the Chinese Empire with his cargo and the steamer.

Yes, Kent's opportunity to make a fortune is in the Chinese Empire, for this reason, Kent also went to the Chinese in the United States to learn some simple words, under the charm of money, Kent learned Chinese (Chinese) very fast, the Chinese who taught Kent Chinese thought that if Kent studied for a year to two years, he would be able to talk to the Chinese without barriers.

Unfortunately, Kent didn't have time to wait, so he simply learned some Mandarin and set off.

A month later, Kent arrived on a steamer that arrived in the Chinese Empire, and the first thing Kent did when he arrived in the Chinese Empire was to find a hotel to sleep in.

The next day, Kent began looking for a buyer for his goods brought from the United States to the Chinese Empire.

While in the United States, Kent had already done a good job of researching and knew that there were things in the United States that could be sold for high prices in the Chinese Empire.

However, the Chinese Empire and the United States had been engaged in commercial cooperation for some time, and it was difficult for ordinary people like Kent to make money from international trade, but Kent did not want to do this, as long as the price of goods sold in the Chinese Empire was equal to the price of goods purchased by Kent himself and the cost of shipping.

It didn't take long for Kent to sell all the goods for 35,000 Chinese dollars.

35,000 Chinese dollars is not a small amount in the Chinese Empire, and it can even buy a Kaiyang car, of course, Kent is a foreigner, but he is not qualified to buy a car.

After exchanging all the goods for cash, Kent wandered around the Shencheng area, and even went to the county-level area under the jurisdiction of Shencheng, as if a foreign merchant were inspecting the Chinese Empire.

It didn't take long for Kent to finally find his first target, which was a gangster.

No matter in which country, there are gangsters, Britain has, the United States, the Chinese Empire, and the lazy nature makes some people become gangsters, but in the Chinese Empire, the existence of gangsters is still relatively small, and there are even fewer gangsters who meet Kent's requirements.

Kent first met this gangster, knowing that the gangster's name is Zhao Hu, his parents are dead, there are almost no relatives, Zhao Hu is more righteous, but he doesn't like to work, and finally becomes a gangster who wanders around every day and is idle, recently Zhao Hu owes someone a sum of money, it is difficult to pay it back, and he is more depressed, and then he meets Kent as a foreigner, Kent invited Zhao Hu to dinner, Zhao Hu thought Kent was a big wrongdoer, so he agreed, and the two became familiar at the dinner table, although Kent's Chinese is poor, But Kent's use of simple words and common human gestures made it easy for the two to communicate.

Kent in the name of "at first sight", ready to pay off the debt for Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu excitedly and Kent called him brother, after Kent helped Zhao Hu repay the debt, Kent also invited Zhao Hu to dinner many times, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, Kent felt that the time was ripe, and finally opened his mouth to Zhao Hu, wanting Zhao Hu to help him do something, there is nothing illegal about this matter, and it can also allow Zhao Hu to get certain benefits.

After Zhao Hu understood what Kent wanted him to do, he found that there were not many problems, so he left with a sum of money given by Kent and walked to the pharmacy to buy a few modern medicines designated by Kent.

Corresponding to modern medicine is traditional medicine, traditional medicine mostly refers to the decoction made with herbs, and modern medicine is made by chemical synthesis method or extracted from natural products, modern medicine is precise and fast, so that modern medicine quickly recognized by the public.

The modern medicine of the Chinese Empire not only won the population of the domestic population, but also attracted the attention of foreigners, but the Chinese Empire did not meet the domestic demand, how could it sell modern medicine to foreign countries, although the Chinese Empire did not restrict the outflow of modern medicine, but in order to bring modern medicine out of the Chinese Empire, it was necessary to pay high tariffs, which were generally several times or even more than ten times the price of the medicine itself.

In the Chinese Empire, the modern medicine in the pharmacy was forbidden to be sold to foreigners, and foreigners could only buy from private individuals, and there were strict quantitative restrictions on the purchase of modern medicine by the citizens of the empire each time, there was no way, the population of the empire was too large, and the royal trading houses established a number of pharmaceutical factories, which started production almost 24 hours a day, and could not meet the domestic demand, and I am afraid that it would not be until the end of the "Second Five-Year Plan" to meet the domestic demand.

Because of the efficacy of modern medicines, some modern medicines circulated abroad, attracting countless wealthy people to buy, especially penicillin, which is higher than gold, but has no price.

As a result, an industrial chain was born, from the industrial chain of smuggling drugs to foreign countries in the Chinese Empire, and there were Chinese and foreigners among the smugglers, and the interests were moving, and the sale of modern medicines abroad could often obtain several times, ten times or even dozens of times the return, so many people participated in it.

Kent is one of them.

It is also not easy for smugglers to smuggle drugs to foreign countries, and there are generally two types of smuggling routes, one is by land and the other is by sea.

The land route was the part of the border between the Imperial Yunnan Province and the French colony and the British colony, and the sea route was simpler, directly hiding the medicine so that the customs could not find it, as long as the ship left the Imperial Sea by sea, it was considered a successful smuggling.
