In the Borat family, Douglas reads the newspaper and enjoys a cigarette.
"This stuff is really good, but it makes people thirsty easily." Douglas glanced at the half-remaining cigarette, put the newspaper on the table, and walked out of his bedroom.
"How is the response of cigarettes in the market?" Douglas came to the living room and looked at a butler in a black tuxedo and asked.
"We have arranged cigarette sales stores in three markets. The response has been very good and the return rate is very high. The factory is also speeding up the production of a new batch of cigarettes." The steward said, taking out a drawing, "Now we are working on it.
Design the pattern of the cigarette box and the matching lighter.”
"lighter?"
"Well, after all, there are many people who have not signed a contract with the [Book of Fire] and cannot light a fire anytime and anywhere, so we decided to add a kark when buying cigarettes to get a lighter as a gift."
"Well, sure." Douglas nodded, "But the design of the cigarette box pattern should wait first."
"What's wrong?"
"What Ax and I said was to put a batch of cigarettes on the market first to see the effect. We haven't made it clear about the cooperation yet. Now that the response has been good, the cooperation can be confirmed. In this case, I think the design of the cigarette box is also important.
Need his opinion."
"Sir, what you said is correct. Then, do you want me to contact Mr. Akers?"
"Sure, now," Douglas said.
"Mr. Akers only left his address, but not his phone number." When he came to the phone and was about to call Akers according to the personal information he left, the housekeeper noticed that Akers
In other words, Ahes did not leave a phone number.
In fact, Ahes didn't even know the number of the phone in his villa.
"In that case, I will go and visit him personally." Douglas stood up and straightened his collar and said.
"Really, really?"
"Of course, Mr. Akers is very business-minded. With such a talent, there is nothing wrong with lowering his status a little." Douglas said, picked up a cane and walked out of the villa.
At this time, Ahs and Claire were in the villa.
"Aren't your clothes hot?" Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ahes and Claire were reading the books they had just bought from the bookstore. Claire said that she had not read any new books in the underground library for so long.
I insisted on buying a few copies to read first. Ahes also bought a book to see what the writing style in this world is like.
"Are your clothes very cool?" Claire glanced at the black uniform on Ahs and said.
"Because I don't have any replacement clothes, I will change these shabby clothes when I have money." Ahs said, closing the book.
"Have you finished reading?" Claire heard the sound of books being closed and raised her head in disbelief.
"I read books very quickly."
"I don't believe it, please give me that book." Claire stretched out her hand and said. Ahs didn't understand what she wanted to do, but he still handed the book over obediently.
"Who is Philip's wife?" Claire asked.
"Esther."
"Why did the two of them divorce?"
"Because Esther secretly read Philip's diary and found out that Philip had been secretly writing letters to his ex-wife." Ahes said, "Do you believe it now?"
"Tch." Claire snorted and returned the book to Ahs.
"What is your job in your world? Are you a writer?" Claire asked instead.
"No, just a dropout."
"A dropout?" Claire was slightly shocked. Ahes was very smart and courageous. If it were others, even if they came from other worlds and had other knowledge, Claire would not think that they could be as fast as Ahes.
Understand the current situation, sign a contract with a book, and at the same time produce that thing called cigarettes and cooperate with a big family. These things seem simple, but in fact they are not easy.
"Well, in our world, I'm a complete loser." Ahes didn't seem to care about his miserable past and said with a smile, "I'm the kind of person who can be considered a low-class person even if I'm thrown into a crowd.
Guy."
"Hmph, in that case it's hard to imagine how powerful the 'superior people' over there are."
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Seeing this, Ahes came to the door and opened it.
Outside the door, Douglas stood there.
"Forehead."
Seeing Ahes, Douglas was stunned. He must have found the address correctly.
"Excuse me, is this the home of Mr. Ax Robert? I think I might..." Seeing Ax's face, Douglas became slightly nervous. After all, this is a murderer, a civilian.
People may think that Ahes used a pistol to kill the man, but Douglas still knew that Ahes had a cursed hand, which would turn others into ashes even if he touched them. That was what Ahes used to kill the man.
of this hand.
"No, you're not making a mistake." Knowing that he couldn't hide it any more, Aix sighed and said, "I am Aix."
It took a long time for Douglas to accept this.
"I'm sorry I lied to you," Ahs said.
"No, I can understand." Douglas coughed slightly and said, "Others may not know, but I still know the reason why you killed someone. It would be better to say that everyone in every big family knows something about it."
"That's okay, lest you think that I am a murderous demon, and it would be troublesome to be labeled like that." Ahs smiled and said, "You are here this time...
..”
"Ah, I almost forgot." Douglas said and took out a card from his pocket. The material of the card was very strange. Ahes couldn't tell what it was made of. His name was written in gold letters on it.
"The response of the cigarettes in the market is very good. It seems that our cooperation can officially begin." Douglas said, "There are two thousand kilos in it. You may think it is too little, but don't worry, this is only the first batch.
The profits brought by the experimental cigarettes on the market will only be more in the future, not less."
"Is there a bank card in this world? No, I probably use this card to go to the bank to exchange cash. It should be similar to the fact that every time I deposit money on this card, the bank people will leave specific detailed records." Ahs thought.
Then he put the card into his pocket.
"I feel relieved now." Ahes said with a smile.
"One more thing I came here this time is the design of the cigarette box." Douglas took out a piece of paper from his bag with many designs on it.
"As you said, we have released many types of cigarettes on the market, such as flue-cured tobacco or mixed cigarettes, and the prices vary according to the difficulty of making them, but now the cigarette boxes are all uniformly pure black." Douglas.
Said, "Since there is a low-end market and a high-end market, I think the design of cigarette boxes should also be separated."
"Of course." Ahs nodded, "These designs of yours are all good. If I had to choose, I would choose these three."
As he spoke, Ahes circled three of those patterns with a pen.
"Well, okay, by the way, we also plan to print your name on it, but..."
"I know," Ahs said before he could, "it wouldn't be nice to have a murderer's name printed on it."
"..."
"Of course I have considered this. Remember what I said before to tell you a secret? In fact, it is my true identity. I have no intention of printing my name on the box. Likewise, I have no intention of letting others know about the cigarettes.
It was invented by Ahes Gardner." Ahes said, "If you want, you can even claim that it was developed by your family."
"This, how is this possible?" Douglas said quickly, "Cigarettes are expected to have a larger market in the mid-to-late period, maybe for foreign countries... No, it will definitely happen. By then your reputation will be
It will be huge.”
"Reputation? I don't care about reputation." Ahs shook his head, "I just want money. It's obvious, right? Fame is dispensable to me."
"Okay, I understand what you mean, Mr. Ahers. In that case, we will not print anyone's name on the cigarette packages. If others ask, I will only say that you don't want to reveal yourself." Douglas.
explain.
"This is best." Ahes smiled and stretched out his hand, "Then, happy cooperation."
"Well, it's a pleasure to work together." Douglas held Ahes' hand.
