Chapter 1299: European Storm (5)
"Give me a soak, it's a little fun every day. Without this kind of thing that can make me soar, I really don't know how long I can endure in such an environment. ”
Billa Jean Pinault's men, while he was chatting with the Chinese genetic, had already started their 'business', after all, Fushou paste was for sale, wasn't it.
Because there is a stable supply of goods and it is also a distributor on the surface, there is a large and stable source of customers on the side of Villa Jean Pinault.
Besides, they're on the front lines, so there's no entertainment. Although these soldiers are poor, they will also scavenge some valuable little things from the corpses of enemies on the battlefield.
Therefore, Billa Jean Pinault's business is still quite prosperous.
Isn't it, that Chinese gene man just gave him today's Fushou ointment, and his subordinates here started 'business'.
Because of the addiction to the ointment, many soldiers wandered outside the territory where Pira Jean Pinault was stationed every day, and as soon as the goods arrived, they began to enjoy them.
Of course, few of the soldiers who used it to buy the Fushou paste would come up with cash.
Basically, they'll trade some valuable gadgets from enemy corpses for longevity ointment.
Therefore, Billa Jean-Pinault, in addition to selling Fushou cream, also works part-time as a temporary pawnshop.
And those valuable gadgets will also be handed over to the young man of Chinese descent with genes, which can be regarded as his own money for buying Fushou cream.
In this regard, the young people of Chinese descent have no objection at all.
After all, with distributors like Billa Jean Pinault, the sale of Fushou paste has become very popular, and the audience has expanded a lot.
The most important thing is the existence of these people. It saved the Ministry of Commerce of the concession a lot of things.
Because of the lack of manpower, the business department of the Marseille concession did not have the leisure to allocate manpower to target these low-level groups.
So, it's better to find someone like Billa Jean Pinault to do it well.
Although for this purpose the Marseille Ministry of Commerce, will share a part of the profits. But it's worth it, and how much money can be made for those distributors.
Obviously, it is impossible to make more money than the Ministry of Commerce of the Marseille Concession.
It can be said that the largest part of the profit from the purchase and sale of Fushou paste is put into the pockets of the empire.
You can't be wrong with that.
Although most of the received is not cash. But those gadgets that are used as collateral or in exchange for longevity paste are considered antiques when they get into the virtual world, aren't they?
Even in order to prevent the antique market from impacting the virtual world, these things cannot be sold on a large scale. However, a little bit of sales, the profit margin is also very large.
Even if it is not sold as an antique, but as an antique commodity, the profit value is very high.
You must know that when Jay Chou went to the East, he had already discovered the islands of Southeast Asia.
So, the fleet sent by the empire in the early stage. Construction of a garrison has already begun over there. At the same time, a lot of land has also been reclaimed for planting the raw materials needed to make Fushou paste, that is, 'poppy' and 'millet'.
It's just that the time for planting is too short now. There is no harvest yet.
Therefore, today's Fushou paste is basically purchased from the virtual world.
However, the price on the other side of the virtual world. It's not expensive at all.
After the empire gets its hands on it, the price at which it is sold to Europe is enough to ensure the empire's profits.
Once it is harvested in the 'poppy' and 'millet' fields planted by the empire itself in Southeast Asia. Then the cost will be lower.
This is obvious.
At Billa-Jean-Pinault's place, the soldiers who had been waiting early in the morning came to the side impatiently and lay down in the small grass hut one by one after paying the fee, and Billa-Jean-Pinault's men methodically took out the 'smoking guns' and put them in the ointment of longevity, and gave them enjoyment.
"It's another beautiful day, and it seems that I can make a lot of money today."
Not far away, there were many junkies in the army, lined up in a long line.
In the eyes of Billa Jean Pinault, these people are all 'money bags' that can move.
Every day at this time, seeing a scene like this, Billa Jean Pinault is in a very good mood.
After all, these people are all here to send him money, aren't they?
"I hate this war because I don't know if I can survive it." After sighing, Billa Jean Pinault retracted his gaze, and he looked seriously at the young man of Chinese descent sitting beside him. "But I love this war, after all, it makes money for people like me. If the war is gone, the legion will definitely be disbanded, and where will I find so many customers at that time? ”
Billa-Jean-Pinault's words seem to be contradictory in the preamble. But when he said the last sentence, people could fully understand what he meant.
The current Billa Jean Pinault, in fact, his heart is quite tangled.
The reason is simple, he hates this war.
Because his own status in the army is very low, he belongs to the kind of cannon fodder who will rush up whenever there is a battle, even if he now has a military academy with a second lieutenant hanging on his body, he can't escape the fact that he is cannon fodder.
Where there is fighting, there will definitely be casualties, this is obvious.
He himself could not guess whether in a future battle he would become a decomposing corpse like some of his comrades who had already died on the battlefield.
It's not impossible for something like this to happen.
As long as the war continues, then this thing will definitely arise.
Billa-Jean-Pinault has a clear understanding of this.
However, he secretly preferred the war.
Because of this war, it brought him a lot of benefits.
If it weren't for this war, he wouldn't have been able to become a distributor of Fushou cream.
You can't make a profit of three or four gold louis a day.
See, this is what makes the young man Billa Jean Pinault so entangled.
Listening to his narration, the young man of Chinese descent sitting beside him did not make a sound.
In fact, this young man of Chinese descent would like to tell Billa Jean Pinault that even if the war is over, as long as he is still a distributor. Then this business can still be done.
Because, those who have smoked Fushou paste have almost become addicts now.
Look at it now, don't these addicted guys come here every day?
As long as these addicted people exist, it is impossible to trade in Fushou paste even if the war is over.
Of course, after the end of the war, there is a problem that will become more prominent.
That is, after the disbandment of the legion, the discharged soldiers will lose their source of income. And if they don't have money, how can they solve their daily drug addiction problems?
As for the series of turmoil brought about by this aspect, it is not a problem that needs to be considered by the concession side.
Anyway, a headache should be a headache for Europeans, isn't it?
It's just that about the threat that this thing is addictive and will cause some social unrest, the Chinese genetic youth will not say it.
This is also the reason why no one knows the harm caused by the Fu Shou ointment.
Dare to love, the empire has not said anything to the Europeans about the dangers of longevity ointment.
Therefore, no one will know the Tao. It's addictive to enjoy this thing.
Of course, it's not that no one doubted it.
It is important to know that after smoking Fushou Paste for a period of time, there are some people who do not continue to smoke it for a fixed time every day. The body will react somewhat.
In this regard, the Marseille Concession, which promotes the product of Fushou paste, said that the empire did not know what was going on.
On this side of the Marseille Concession, pretending to be stupid and saying that he didn't know what to do. Those who were skeptical said no more.
After all, the technology and medical techniques of this era are still very inferior, and it is impossible to know the mystery of the Dao.
"There has been a truce for a while recently. I really hope that every day will be like this in the future, there will be no battles and no deaths. Seeing the young man of Chinese origin, he didn't say anything about what he just said, and Billa Jean Pinault didn't care. He shifted the subject to the strange life without a fight lately.
"I don't know what the hell the enemy is doing, could it be that they have some conspiracy?" For the eerie calm of the past half a month, Billa Jean Pinault obviously has his own little opinion.
He didn't think that the Church coalition would stop the offensive so easily.
Behind the strange calm of the past half a month, it must be the other party who is engaged in another big conspiracy.
Therefore, don't look at the fact that there may have been a battle in the past half a month, and everything is calm. But Billa-Jean-Pinault felt that the enemy would surely erupt at some point in time, igniting a bloody battle.
At the thought of this, Billa Jean Pinault's face became very unsightly.
When it comes to this matter, the young people of Chinese descent are also interested.
In fact, the two European imperial concessions in Lisbon and Marseille have maintained a strong focus on this war.
After all, the imperial side needs Europe to keep it in chaos and wants them to keep fighting.
Otherwise, the empire would not have supported the Portuguese to give them assistance, and privately gave them a little help when the Church coalition could not support it.
To put it bluntly, the Empire is all about keeping Europe in chaos and letting their energy be focused on this war. Instead of settling down and looking at the ocean.
Although the empire is growing rapidly, Europe remains in a state of chaos, which is a great benefit to the empire, isn't it.
Recently, however, the Church coalition forces have suddenly stopped the active offensive posture they have been maintaining, and the western border of France, which was already in full swing, has suddenly become quiet.
This has to attract the attention of the concession side.
Could it be that the church is overwhelmed?
That's not going to work, you have to keep them alive and fiery in battle.
"Did you hear anything? Why did the alliance of the vassal states of the church stop attacking all of a sudden? The young man of Chinese descent asked casually...... (To be continued......)
