Smith and Perez are not only old friends of Han Lin, but also partners with interests, and when they came to Han Lin's office, they were not restrained at all, and sat down to talk very casually.

"Smith, the Naval Intelligence Bureau has supported more than a dozen of my experts this time, as well as a large number of communication equipment, weapons, ammunition and vehicles, a lot of living materials and military supplies, and also gave a large amount of funds, I have to thank you for helping me." Han Lin said.

"Don't thank me, you are very clear about the style and values of capitalist countries, we are just helping each other, if you don't have the value of letting the Naval Intelligence Agency take advantage of it, no matter how much I say good things about you, you won't get this result, the Americans are very realistic."

"In addition, the Japanese wantonly bombed the US diplomatic mission in Yamashiro, causing the destroyer Tutura to run aground, endangering the lives of the officers and men of the US Navy.

"From the international intelligence analysis you provided, World War II will be ignited in Europe, the US government and the military, urgently need your intelligence, as far as I know, the Naval Intelligence has made a decision to expand cooperation with you, and in the future, there will be more weapons and ammunition, communication equipment, meteorological equipment and transportation to support you." Smith said.

Americans speak straightforwardly, and they do not shy away from the fact that cooperation between the two sides is an exchange of interests, but Han Lin likes this kind of cooperation very much.

"Will World War II really break out? Where is the flashpoint? If Germany attacked the Soviet Union, Britain and France would be happy to see it, and they would not declare war on Germany because of the Soviet Union, right? Perez asked.

"How could I be joking about such a big thing? It is now July, and I judge that by October at the latest, Germany will begin to kick off the war, and the flashpoint will be in Poland. If Germany wanted to attack Britain and France, it had to take Poland first to avoid being attacked on its own back, and Britain and France had an agreement that once Poland was attacked by Germany, Britain and France had to declare war and support Poland. ”

"This information also needs to be verified by a crucial step, that is, the signing of a non-aggression pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, and if this becomes true, 100 percent Poland will become the first country to be attacked by Germany when World War II breaks out."

"Germany was not sure that it would be able to take the Soviet Union, which was large in territory and rich in resources, and Hitler would not attack rashly, because the Soviet Union did not directly threaten Germany, on the contrary, if the war did not go well, the German people's support for him would be reduced."

"For Hitler, Britain and France were a greater threat to Germany, especially during the First World War, the humiliation brought by Britain and France to Germany was also a reason why the German people supported Hitler in starting the war." Han Lin shook his head and said.

"Europe has ignited a world war, and I believe that the members of the US Congress should also wake up, and the United States will be involved sooner or later." Smith said.

"If the board doesn't hit itself, no one will feel pain, the US government will not intervene in this war in advance, unless its own interests are threatened, the United States still has a long period of peace, and the work of preparing in advance should indeed be carried out. Perez, DuPont's cooperative investment in synthetic materials, did you take it? Han Lin asked.

The European battlefield is too far away from China, and the greatest threat to China is Japan, and if it wants to rely on external forces, it can only be after the United States is bombed at Pearl Harbor and the two sides enter a state of war, and then the pressure of war on China can be relieved.

The synthetic material he mentioned, that is, nylon, the key is the derivative product stockings, which will bring huge profits, at the beginning, the price of a pair of stockings was only one dollar and five dimes, to the United States to aid Britain, and finally the Pacific War broke out to participate in the war, nylon became a controlled product, the price became twenty dollars, and finally it was completely discontinued.

Han Lin's plan is to invest in the stockings industry, and get the right to sell stockings in China, and share the overall sales of DuPont, the first year of stockings on the market, more than six million pairs of sales in the United States, and he can share one or two million profits, but this is just an appetizer.

He paid attention to the period from the second year to Pearl Harbor, and the profit from the sale of stockings was simply a profiteering industry, which could bring himself millions of dollars in profits.

"I have negotiated with DuPont, they accept my investment, share it proportionally, and hand over the sales share of the Chinese market to our agent, and now it has begun to enter the trial production stage, and it will be put into large-scale production at the end of the year at most, how many orders do you plan to place?" Perez asked.

"Book me 500,000 pairs first, and stimulate DuPont first." Han Lin said with a smile.

"So much? I think you should be cautious about this investment, Chinese culture is different from Western culture, can you digest so many stockings? I doubt it! Smith interjected.

He was obviously not very interested in stockings, which are used by women, but when he heard that Han Lin actually wanted to order 500,000 pairs of stockings, he was shocked and couldn't believe his ears.

"Mr. Smith, you don't know how to do business, and you don't know anything like stockings, which will become a woman's dream clothing supplies, and now that the United States is calm, stockings are indeed inexpensive, but the follow-up price will skyrocket that you can't believe."

"Synthetic materials are mainly used in the military, once the United States intervenes in the war, such as Britain asking for help and its own war preparedness, there will be an extreme shortage of raw materials for the production of stockings, at this time, the price of stockings will rise dozens of times. China's purchasing power can't digest much stockings, which are high-end luxury, and the consumer base is very limited, not to mention 500,000 pairs, even 100,000 pairs are enough, and they can't even be used. ”

"The reason why I place so many orders is to stock up in advance and make money on investment, and it's not illegal to do so. I've never liked to eat alone, I'll take the risk in this business, you just wait and count the money. Han Lin said.

"These stockings, how are you going to work?" Perez asked.

"As I said just now, this batch of goods is mine, China only needs to ship 100,000 pairs, and the rest is stored in the United States, in my family's warehouse, my assets are protected by law, and I want you to protect me. Perez, you're a race for Congress, and you're on good track at the top, and Smith, you're a senior intelligence officer in Naval Intelligence, and it's not hard to do that. Han Lin said with a smile.

He didn't dare to open his mouth to order a million pairs, even if it was 400,000 pairs, it would be difficult for him to protect this growable wealth, in addition to using his family's connections in the United States, he also had to use the strength of these two people, and the final result of eating alone was often to bring death to himself.

The production cost of stockings is only five dimes dollars, and when it comes to twenty dollars or even higher, it will be shipped, 400,000 pairs of stockings, at least for Han Lin himself in exchange for a high profit of three or four million dollars, he is not greedy, only ten dollars and dollars, otherwise I am sorry for his attention and worry for several years, and the rest must be divided to protect their own transactions, and they will also give a part of the profits to local businessmen.

Although this wealth is a lot, it is not very conspicuous in a capitalist country like the United States, and it does not attract much attention.
