Chapter 16 Opportunities are everywhere (first update, please recommend and collect)
  In the warehouse, there were a row of silver and black cars parked side by side.

A total of sixty cars appeared in front of Li Yian.

The fronts of these cars have blue sky and white clouds, as well as four rings and three crosses in the circle. These signs clearly indicate that these are cars produced in Germany.

"Look, this is BMW326"

John pointed at the car and said proudly.

"As you said, these are high-end cars, the best!"

John said directly.

"Sixty Mercedes, BMWs and Audis for £60. Before the war you could buy up to ten of them."

This is the opportunity brought by war!
  Li Yian said casually.

“Without me, they’re just a pile of scrap metal, deal done.”

As he finished speaking, a screen of light appeared in front of his eyes.

[以价值5432美元的香烟、咖啡交换价值60辆汽车，其中BMW326汽车15辆，每辆价值1700英镑，奔驰……奖励经验值115500点]
  System rewards are coming!

At the same time, words appeared on the light screen.

[Congratulations to the user for successfully being promoted to LV.2 level user with experience points. I hope the user will continue to work hard. ]
  Made the cut!
  While Li Yian was excited, he wondered what changes would happen after the upgrade.

Li Yian didn't care much about what happened next. He just wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible. After completing the transaction, John asked curiously as he watched boxes of cigarettes and sacks of coffee being loaded onto the car.

"May I know through which channel you brought these goods?"

"Well, I met a big shot from the military. As long as we continue to cooperate, there will be a steady stream of goods shipped here. So, as long as you prepare the funds... well, I should say cars, the big shot will arrange it. Navy transport ships are transporting cigarettes in batches." When dealing with these people from the Razor Party, Li Yi'an had to be careful. At this time, he told the other party that he had the support of a big shot, just to tell them that there was someone behind him. , and he is someone who can use transport ships to smuggle supplies!

Such a person is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford to offend. Saying this can make the other party avoid it, and at least they don't have to worry about being hacked.

……

The truck compartment was filled with cigarettes, and Tommy, with the cigarettes in his mouth, looked at the cigarettes. In fact, for him, this was just a small business. Even the coffee beans that are very popular in the market are not worth mentioning.

But he still came over, dropped the coffee beans in his mouth, Tommy asked.

“Were these all traded in cars?”

"Yes, and he also asked us to prepare that he will bring more goods next time."

John said directly.

"He said he knew a big shot who could arrange a ship and load those cars onto the ship and ship them to the United States."

"Shipping it to the United States is really not something ordinary people can do..."

Tommy took a drag on his cigarette and said.

"John, so there is really a big shot behind him?"

"That should be true. It is simply impossible for ordinary people to supply so many supplies at once."

"Indeed, if they could be shipped to the United States, those car sellers would have sold the backlog of cars in their warehouses to the United States. In the United States, even second-hand cars are very popular!"

"I know."

After thinking about it, Tommy said.

"Tell him that we need 20 pounds of coffee beans. If he can deliver them, we will continue to cooperate with him!"

Then, as if he thought of something, Tommy said again.

"Get our people out of the warehouse."     …

"Chengjie, you have been working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a long time. Do you have any acquaintances in Cuba?"

In a high-end restaurant near Grosvenor Square, Li Guoren, who was enjoying steak, became a little weird when he heard it. He looked at Li Yian and said.

"To tell the truth, my brother, Minister Plenipotentiary Li Dijun is our brother's uncle."

In fact, he was able to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was assigned to the UK because of the help of his uncle.

"What a coincidence!"

Li Yian couldn't believe it. In fact, he became interested in Cuba after learning that Cuba was the main source of the Mafia's illicit cigarettes and other materials.

In other words, he is interested in the United States because compared to the United Kingdom, the market in the United States is broader and Americans are richer. As long as he seizes the opportunities in the next two years, it will be enough for him to complete primitive accumulation.

And Cuba was his first step into the U.S. market.

"It's such a coincidence. If Zhiyuan needs help with anything in Cuba, just say so. I am very close to my third uncle."

"Thank you very much then."

In a good mood, Li Yi'an ordered another bottle of whiskey. This restaurant recommended by Li Guoren specializes in entertaining diplomats from various countries. Although the price is a little expensive, it is better than not having to buy ration coupons. It has red wine, whiskey, and steak that are rare outside. It can be said that it has everything.

During the meal, Li Yian did not hide the fact that he had set up a company in the United States. Li Guoren was surprised and agreed deeply.

"Oh, to make money these days, you still have to do business with Americans... Look."

Pointing at the people in the restaurant, Li Guoren said.

"Look at the people in this restaurant, almost all of them are Americans. Some of them hold the power to distribute Lend-Lease supplies, and some are officers who make plans to bomb Germany. Nowadays, there are more and more American troops in the UK, but , you know, who is the really powerful person?"

Li Guoren's rhetorical question made Li Yian curious.

"who?"

"Well...those people are from Washington."

Li Guoren nodded his chin and said.

"Does Zhiyuan know what they came here to do?"

"I don't know about that."

"They are here to break up the British Empire."

“Disintegrate the British Empire?”

"Yes, does Zhiyuan know that the United States and the United Kingdom signed the Atlantic Charter two years ago?"

"I've heard of some."

"Actually, this Atlantic Charter is a hole dug by the Americans for the British. This charter says that all nations have the right to form a government according to their own wishes. This is the mine laid by the Americans. The United States made it clear that it requires the British After defeating Germany, it gave up its overseas colonies. It even dragged India, which was a British colony, into a signatory. In fact, the United States clearly told Britain that if it wanted US aid, it had to give up its colonies. .”

Looking at the eloquent Li Guoren, Li Yian couldn't help but look at him differently. After all, even as a historical scumbag, he also knew how the United States used World War II to disintegrate British world hegemony, force Britain to give up its colonies, and thus seize its post-war Layout paves the way. There is a saying, "Britain won World War II, but lost the world."

"...The United States did this mainly to enable itself to intervene in various affairs of the former British colonies after the war, including to enter its market. And this also contains huge benefits. After all, there are currently more than 3000 million British overseas colonies. Square kilometers.”

Looking at the brother in front of him, Li Guoren said.

"It's not just India here. If Britain can give up India, let alone other colonies. If Britain gives up its colonies, then the French and the Dutch will definitely not be able to keep their colonies. Zhiyuan, your family has lived in Nanyang for a long time. This is not good for your family. It might not be an opportunity for me!"
