Chapter 147: Tom still overestimates the Europeans
Canned food from the Texas Heroine company has entered the European market with zero tariffs for a variety of high-sounding reasons.
If Tom is serious about exporting these cans, the middlemen in various countries may also consider tariffs and sales issues, and may not necessarily buy the cans of these heroine companies in large quantities.
The method of receiving the goods first and paying later, coupled with the advantage of zero tariff on smuggling, made these middlemen start to compete for these cans like crazy people.
No one knows what's interesting in these cans.
All the middlemen who handle these cans are local famous families with surnames.
While these middlemen may not have enough flesh and blood factories to make them the new capital nouveau riche of the new era, they own land in a quantity that many of the more traditional capital nouveau riche envy.
And all the subjects of these lands are their "semi-private property".
In Tom's plan, these low-priced cans would always end up in the people, causing a cholera epidemic on a massive scale in Europe.
But Tom overestimated the attitude of the old Europeans towards the people.
In the minds of the European aristocracy, the populace was nothing more than cattle with numbers.
The aristocracy is not used to eating all kinds of food in cans, even if a small number of European feudal nobles really like the taste of Hextech products that Tom added to canned food.
They also don't make a big claim that they like to eat something tasteless like canned food.
As a nobleman, you should eat some aristocratic food.
So where does all this food go?
It was left in the hands of the petty bourgeoisie and the middle class of Europe.
It is impossible for these two classes of people to afford to eat fresh meat every day, and it is impossible for them to be vegetarian like a lowly commoner animal every day.
In these minds, even if you eat inferior canned canned meat every day, you are still eating meat.
And eating meat every day, under normal circumstances in the nineteenth century, was a daily consumption that only the aristocracy could achieve.
The canned food of the Heroine company makes these petty bourgeoisie and middle class imagine that they can eat meat every day.
They will comfort themselves - you see I eat meat every day, and sooner or later I can become a capitalist and a feudal lord.
When they see the inferior oligarchs, they will directly throw the canned meat out of the window and throw it on the nearby road.
You know, the income of these middle and small bourgeoisie is not enough to support them, like the big capitalists and the big feudal aristocracy, to build estates in the suburbs for their own residence.
These people can only live in small single-family buildings near the shack, which are slightly better than the shack, and at the same time they fantasize about living on the manor, and at the same time despise the animals that live in the shack.

Vibrio cholerae is a species that is sensitive to acid, heat, and dryness, and the new type of Vibrio cholerae, which can be transmitted through the air, is also a species that retains these characteristics.
There are always some cans infected with Vibrio cholerae, and after more than a month of transportation, although they have deteriorated, they have not completely spoiled the food in the entire can.
The petty bourgeoisie and the middle class, of course, do not eat cans that are in between spoiled and semi-spoiled, and they throw them directly into the roads or garbage heaps with the completely spoiled cans.
Vibrio cholerae is afraid of acid, and even if a small amount of Vibrio cholerae is consumed by a normal and healthy adult, these vibrio bacteria cannot 100% cause cholera infection in humans.
However, the new type of Vibrio cholerae developed by Smith Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of Heroine, is afraid of strong acids and not afraid of weak acids, and these Vibrio can barely resist the weak acidity of gastric juice in the stomach and enter its favorite hometown - the human intestine to reproduce.
That's why these new Vibrio cholerae species are airborne.
But Tom really overestimated the European old.
Even if there are no new Vibrio bacteria in Europe, as long as this large-scale Vibrio cholerae comes to Europe, there will definitely be a large-scale outbreak of cholera.
Looking at several large-scale diseases in the history of Europe, we have not seen the diseases that died out because of the effective governance of European governments.
It is all about relying on the people's own resistance and reproductive ability to resist the past.
October 28, 1868
In a slightly more luxurious small detached house near a factory shed in Scotland,
"What kind of garbage heroine can, just call yourself heroine can?"
After another small workshop leader of the factory opened a heroine's bad can, after scolding the heroine company a few times, he angrily threw the can out of the window, regardless of whether it would hit people.
You said that it was a coincidence that the soup in this can was spilled, but the few pieces of meat in it that were not too rotten were stuck in the can by the canned lid.
And because a lot of moldy soup was spilled out, a few pieces of meat looked more like normal pieces of meat.
Cameron is one of the most ordinary small workers in the factory area, and he has been a little worried lately because his wife has left a little girl.
And their own income is simply not enough for the child's mother to eat better nutritional products.
Although there are thousands of small gears like Cameron in Scotland, these gears do not understand that eating meat is good for the body.
It's just that these pinions don't have the capital to buy meat.
Today, Cameron, as usual, walked out of the factory in a daze after seventeen hours of work.
Cameron knew that in another hour, his wife would have to carry a doll less than a month old and work in the factory for seventeen hours straight.
Cameron was very worried, he loved the mother and daughter very much.
Whether it is his unbeautiful but hard-working wife, or that petite and lovely daughter, they are all the meat of Cameron's heart.
"How can I get my wife to eat something good?"
Just as Cameron was walking, an iron can flew out of the air and appeared in front of him, falling straight at his feet.
Cameron opened the half-opened can, and the soup in the can had long since been spilled, leaving only a few pieces of beef in full portions.
Cameron didn't know what the heroine on the can meant, or even the piece of meat in the can was the meat of an animal, but he knew that the can was definitely filled with meat, which was nutrition.
Cameron excitedly used his fingernails to cut open the slightly rotten piece of meat, and the seemingly intact piece of flesh inside appeared in Cameron's field of vision.
"Meat! It's definitely meat! ”
Cameron asked about the pieces of meat that didn't seem to have any problems, and they didn't smell anything.
I pulled off a few small pieces of meat and tasted it, but there was nothing abnormal.
This is Cameron's first time eating meat products, and Cameron excitedly put these meat products that he thought had no problems in his pocket.
