Kaplov was happily communicating with several tobacco merchants, who would be respected by the sales directors of the Monus cigarette factory. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, the production of cigarette factories was still very low, and as cigarettes became popular, the demand began to increase, but there was still some shortage of supply, and in order to be able to ensure that they had enough supply, these buyers had to bow their heads to Kaplov.

"Hello sir, do you have time to talk?" At the end of a pleasant exchange with several of the company's biggest customers, a slightly green voice rang in Kaplov's ears.

Kaplov turned his head, and a green face appeared in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, which made people feel a little close, wearing a decent suit, the brand he had never seen, and his forehead was slightly sweaty, he should have walked for a while, and he was wearing a delicate watch on his hand, which was also a brand he had never seen.

After about a few seconds of Zhao Xiang, Kaplov had a general positioning for Zhao Xiang in his heart, as a professional agent, he still has the ability to observe words and feelings.

At the same time that Kaplov was looking at Zhao Xiang, Zhao Xiang was also looking at Kaplov, he didn't know the brand of the clothes, but he was very decently dressed, with one hand behind his waist, confident but not arrogant, there were traces of smoke between his fingers, he should be a smoker, his hair was meticulously groomed, he paid great attention to his etiquette, he was probably a nobleman, and he already had a draft in his heart.

"Is there something wrong? Mr? Kaplov did not despise Zhao Xiang because of age or other reasons.

Zhao Xiang smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and held one over: "Sir, you should smoke, I think you can taste my cigarettes, I want to try it, you will know what I am going to do." ”

Kaplov took the cigarette handed over by Zhao Xiang, and first looked at the shape of the cigarette, this is a cigarette he has never seen, no matter where he has never seen it, because there is a yellow object at one end of the cigarette, I don't know what it is for.

Cigarettes in this era, there is no filter, it is a piece of paper rolled with tobacco is a cigarette, very simple, even the cigarettes produced by Monus Cigarettes, the largest cigarette company in Serbia, have only made a certain breakthrough in the use of paper.

"What is this?" Kaplov was just about to ask a question, Zhao Xiang took out a cigarette himself, put the filter cigarette butt to his mouth, took out the ZIPPO lighter, and the flames jumped out like elves.

"Oh God, what is this?" After Kaplov saw Zhao Xiang skillfully using a lighter, he immediately exclaimed, obviously he had never seen this thing, he had seen lighters, but they were all old-fashioned lighters that were large in size and not easy to carry, this kind of portable, he had seen it for the first time.

Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment, he had been trying to sell filter cigarette holders, and forgot the ZIPPO lighter in his hand, this kind of windproof lighter seemed to be popular after World War II, and now it should be regarded as a novelty.

"It's a lighter, it's just a small invention, and today's focus is not on him, try the tobacco I researched myself." After saying that, he handed the lighter to Kaplov.

Kaplov nodded, learned Zhao Xiang's movements, held the filter with his mouth, blocked the wind with one hand, and took a deep breath, a faint smell of tobacco came from his mouth, the taste was relatively light, some did not meet the taste of Europeans, but there was no spicy throat taste of traditional tobacco, nor did he inhale any impurities, and there was no foreign body in his mouth, he felt that he was smoking with a pipe, of course, if this tobacco tasted stronger, it would be perfect.

"How? Mr. Zhao Xiang looked at Kaplov with some concern, the gap between Chinese cigarettes and European cigarettes is still very large, the most obvious is about the use of spices, Europeans like to smoke with some spices in tobacco, but many Chinese cigarettes do not do this, he is afraid that for this reason, Kaplov's discomfort, but ignore the importance of the filter mouthpiece.

Kaplov took a deep breath and nodded with satisfaction: "It's great, it's just that the taste is a little light, and what does this do, can you tell me?" I'm curious. ”

After hearing Kaplov's words, Zhao Xiang's worries had been put down: "Sir, I think we can go to your office to have a good talk, introduce myself, my name is Princip, a student, studying at the Belitana School not far away." ”

"No problem, you're such an amazing lad, today is also a magical day, introduce myself, my name is Kaplov, the sales manager of Monus Cigarettes."

The two shook hands and walked into a small three-story building with happy smiles on each other's faces.

Kaplov's office is located on the third floor, the office is not big, but it is very neatly organized, and it is very artistic, there are several oil paintings hanging on the wall, and two statues are placed in the office, which adds a literary atmosphere to the office, in the words of later generations, Kaplov is a literary and artistic youth.

Zhao Xiang looked around the office and gave Kaplov a thumbs up.

"Mr. Zhao Xiang, I think I can tell you what you mean now, right?" After making a cup of coffee for Zhao Xiang, Kaplov looked at Zhao Xiang with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Kaplov, I'm sure you've also seen that the cigarette I researched myself, which has a magical function on it, is this! I wonder if you're interested in this patent? Although Zhao Xiang did not have a registered patent, he believed that without his own blueprints, Monus cigarettes would not have been able to design a filter.

Kaplov nodded: "Of course, your design can be called a genius shot, you call him a filter mouthpiece?" It's a very apt name, I didn't inhale any tobacco in my mouth just now, you know, I only used pipes before, but after smoking your cigarettes, I think pipes should be eliminated, but I'm more interested in your lighters, I don't know if you're interested in selling them? ”

"Of course, I can sell both patents, but I don't know how much you plan to buy them?" I need money now, and I still have research to continue. ”

"Wait a minute, can I ask the cigarette designer in our factory to take a look? If he thinks it's okay, I think I'll give you a price that you're sure you're happy with, what do you think? ”

"No problem, but, Mr. Kaplov, maybe I'm a little abrupt, can you call the shots? Don't need to report up? Zhao Xiang's worries are still a little worried, after all, Kaplov is just a sales manager, and this kind of thing should not be up to him.
