From the Siheyuan, I started to run around in the world

Robert sat aside and didn't say a word the whole time, faithfully fulfilling the role of a tool man. Decisions at this level were not something he could interrupt.

"Ah~~" Julia stretched lazily, and her plump branches trembled in Zhang Dongliang's sight. He felt his eyes getting hot again.

"Mr. Zhang, didn't you say a few days ago that you would treat us to northern cuisine? Would you like to let us experience it today?"

Damn it, I just had hotpot for lunch and I wanted to change the taste for dinner. Do I have to have another meal?

It's not impossible to eat roasted whole lamb, but you can't roast it in the house. You can't just take it out of the small world after roasting it, right? That would scare others.

Should we go out for Shandong cuisine or eat here? Zhang Dongliang was hesitating when Robert spoke.

"Mr. Zhang, when we first entered your room, we smelled the smell of your room, which was very similar to the legendary Peking shabu-shabu mutton."

"Oh, Mr. Robert, have you ever eaten mutton hotpot in Peking?" Zhang Dongliang asked in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I had the honor of eating it when I was on a business trip to Peking. It was truly an unforgettable delicacy. I wonder if Mr. Zhang could treat us to another taste of shabu-shabu today?"

Robert looked like he was savoring the experience.

"But having a meal here seems too unceremonious and a bit disrespectful to you two." Zhang Dongliang wanted to try to persuade them.

"No problem, Mr. Zhang, as long as the food is delicious, where you eat is not the most important thing. There is also a sense of family atmosphere when eating here, which I like very much."

Julia had heard from Robert about the taste of Peking mutton hotpot, and couldn't wait to express her opinion to Zhang Dongliang.

"Okay then." It seems like this is the only way. I will be forced to eat twice today.

"The average person's stomach can't handle eating two meals of mutton hotpot a day. Fortunately, I have good physical fitness." Zhang Dongliang comforted himself.

Zhang Dongliang prepared the hotpot with ease. Considering that Robert and Julia did not drink liquor, Zhang Dongliang also prepared beer for them.

As soon as the first dish of mutton came out of the pot, Zhang Dongliang picked up his glass and said, "Come on, dear Miss Julia and Mr. Robert, let's drink to our happy cooperation."

"Cheers, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Dongliang picked up the chopsticks, scooped out the lamb slices and began to dip them in the sauce. However, this simple action of using chopsticks was a very difficult challenge for Julia and Robert.

Seeing how anxious they were after trying for a long time but still failing to pick up the food, Zhang Dongliang didn't want to act as a waiter for them, so he had no choice but to get two more forks.

"Well~~ you guys should just use a fork to scoop it out. I don't despise you."

"It's really delicious." Getting the right tools, Julia quickly put the meat into the pot and scooped out the slices. She didn't look like a lady at all, and her mouth was full of grease.

Robert was even smarter. He didn't say a word and just kept his head down and worked hard.

"Ms. Julia, to celebrate our pleasant cooperation, I decided to give you a small gift." Zhang Dongliang smiled like Big Bad Wolf meeting Pleasant Goat.

"Mr. Zhang's gift is really exciting." Julia reached out and took the gift box handed over by Zhang Dongliang.

The gift Zhang Dongliang brought out was naturally long nylon stockings, which were the most lethal weapon to European and American women in this era.

When nylon stockings first came out, the price of a pair of nylon stockings in the United States and Europe was equivalent to a month's salary for a white-collar worker, and yet you still couldn't buy them.

There were many American girls waiting at the airport, waiting for people who were going on business trips to Europe, so that they could bring back a pair of nylon stockings. At that time, DuBang Company's sales quota for Europe was higher than that for the United States.

If someone could give them a pair of nylon stockings, they would be willing to offer their bodies. You can imagine the madness of the nylon stockings market. This was the real situation at that time.

Americans are straightforward. When they receive gifts, they don't hide them but open them on the spot.

"Wow, this~~you are~~"

Julia screamed out incoherently on the spot, and took out the nylon stockings and looked at them carefully.

It was simply perfect, and Julia could fully imagine the temptation that wearing these nylon stockings would have on a man.

There is no way, European and American women have too much body hair. As for the leg hair, to be honest, they don't even need to wear makeup to play the Monkey King.

As a business school graduate, Julia naturally knew the value of this pair of nylon stockings.

"Mr. Zhang, this gift is too valuable. But what I want to ask is, are there many gifts of this kind?" Julia asked cautiously.

"Not much." Zhang Dongliang answered very straightforwardly.

"I have never seen this kind of stockings on the market. Mr. Zhang, can I get the agency rights outside of China?"

Julia saw this business opportunity at first sight. This was something that could cause a social sensation, with profits and influence much greater than medicines.

Nylon was discovered by chance by chemists at Dupont in 1935, which was the same year. Julia would never have thought that Dupont would launch nylon stockings in 1937.

Zhang Dongliang naturally knew the commercial value of it, and he was taking it out now for this purpose.

But he didn't want to agree to Julia easily. He wanted to tempt her, so he didn't respond to Julia's question immediately.

Seeing that Zhang Dongliang remained silent, Julia thought that he didn't want to give her the agency rights, and she felt a little anxious.

Julia could not tolerate such huge business benefits slipping away from her hands.

"Mr. Zhang, are we good friends now?"

Zhang Dongliang nodded: "Yes, Miss Julia."

"Mr. Zhang, you see, we have already started to cooperate, we have become good friends, and you have also gained my friendship. So the next step is that we will continue to cooperate, and Mr. Zhang may gain me as a person."

Julia's voice was full of seduction.

Zhang Dongliang smiled slightly: "It's no problem to harvest you, but I think you are teasing me."

"How could that be? Mr. Zhang, I am serious." Julia said seriously.

Knowing that he would travel through the world, Zhang Dongliang bought a lot of stockings in the later life.

During the years of the pandemic, world trade was interrupted and almost all stocking companies were on the verge of collapse. Stockings were very cheap, so Zhang Dongliang bought a lot of them on a large scale, and he bought almost all the backlogs.

Zhang Dongliang was not sure about the exact number, but it was at least hundreds of millions or even millions of pairs, and he basically bought them for a few dollars a pair. This was his last big purchase before he went on the shuttle.

Since rare goods are valuable, Zhang Dongliang is naturally not in a hurry.

"Miss Julia, I can give you the agency rights, but this product is quite scarce, so it's impossible to share the profits. I can only give you a price, and I don't care how much you sell it for."

Julia nodded to indicate that she had no objection.

"For such a wonderful product, we can discuss the sales price in the US and European markets. Miss Julia, price management is very necessary." Zhang Dongliang continued to persuade.
