When she first started smoking this cigarette, Adelaide was still not used to it.
But after trying Zhu Xuan's method a few times, Adelaide's eyes lit up. Cigarettes gave him a good feeling. It was more refreshing than coffee, and he instantly felt energetic.
Adelaide imitated Zhu Xuan again, flicking ashes on the ashtray, taking a deep breath of cigarette, and exhaling it slowly. The smoke lingered, giving it a very special feeling.
This feeling was something he had never experienced before.
The nicotine began to affect his nerves and he felt more relaxed.
"Your Highness, this thing is a bit fun."
Adelaide smiled.
Zhu Xuan flicked the cigarette ashes, gave Adelaide a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, and said: "This is for you. The feeling of smoking is indeed more comfortable. It's your first time to try it now. You can smoke it a few more times." You will find that this may be indispensable in the future.”
Therefore, he did not dare to smoke too much.
He finally gave up smoking after time travel. If he smoked again at this time, he was worried that he would become a regular smoker again.
"interesting!"
Adelaide felt it, lit another cigarette, and puffed away.
The second-hand smoke is all around them.
Hou Xian, who was waiting next to him, saw this and wondered if he could inhale and spit out this thing. Is it really that good?
He also wanted to give it a try, but Zhu Xuan didn't dare to disobey the order unless he gave it a try.
Adelaide added: "Your Highness gave me these things to try, is he planning to sell them in the West?"
"You still understand me."
Zhu Xuan laughed and said: "Let's not talk about cigarettes, just this lighter."
He picked up the lighter, pressed it, and a small flame came out, and continued: "This is definitely a best-seller in the West."
Adelaide agreed: "It must be very popular, but this thing called a lighter can always produce fire?"
"cannot!"
Zhu Xuan explained: "But the cost of making one is not high, and it doesn't feel a pity to throw it away after use. As long as the quantity is large, we can make small profits but quick turnover. If we sell it with this kind of cigarettes, the profit will be very considerable."
Adelaide picked up the cigarette, studied it for a while and asked: "Your Highness, are you sure this kind of cigarette can be promoted?"
"Of course!"
"First of all, we need to create a smoking trend in the West."
"When more people smoke, the supply of cigarettes will exceed the demand, and the market will definitely not be small."
"Aren't you going to give it a try?"
Zhu Xuan said again.
Adelaide touched her chin, a little confused as to why Zhu Xuan said this. She also didn't expect that smoking can easily form a dependence, and it would be super troublesome to quit smoking in the future.
"Then give it a try."
Adelaide doesn't want to miss any opportunity to make big money, believe Zhu Xuan.
Although most of the money from the West flows into the Ming Dynasty, Adelaide has made a lot of money from trading with Zhu Xuan in recent years. With his own efforts, he has monopolized most of the wealth in the West. Even his family's castle is bigger than It had been expanded a lot before and asked: "How does His Highness plan to promote it?"
"Promotion is very simple, make an ad and spread the word, and Adelaide is the best advertising endorsement."
Zhu Xuan said.
"Advertising endorsement?"
Adelaide didn't understand it again, it was a new word.
"We can all become advertising endorsements. You hold a banquet in the castle. I will also attend the banquet. I will arrange how to promote it at the banquet." Zhu Xuan said confidently.
Hosting a banquet is not difficult.
Adelaide agreed: "No problem, I will make arrangements when I get back. Your Highness really wants to come to the banquet?"
Zhu Xuan said: "Think about it! It's my last time to come to the West, so I have to leave some good memories here, right?"
"exactly!"
Adelaide laughed.
He felt that Zhu Xuan was very considerate to him.
Zhu Xuan added: "I will give all the cigarettes and lighters, including the agent of this ashtray, to you. Of course, I may also give some to Bishop Turner."
Adelaide has a very good relationship with Turner and agreed upon hearing this: "Of course there is no problem."
Cooperation is just that, happily settled.
Adelaide took out another cigarette, puffed away slowly, and continued to discuss with Zhu Xuan how to cooperate and some future plans.
Adelaide didn't go back until evening.
Zhu Xuan smoked just to set an example for Adelaide. He didn't want to become an old smoker again, but sitting next to Adelaide and smoking secondhand smoke for so long was a bit unbearable.
After seeing off Adelaide, Zhu Xuan had just returned when he saw Xu Miaojin covering her nose and saying, "My brother smells very bad like cigarettes. Go take a shower quickly."
Not everyone likes the smell of smoke.
They just didn't like it very much, so Zhu Xuan had to take a shower.
Cen Hua said: "In the future, we will never allow His Highness to smoke as he pleases."
Xu Miaojin and Mu Yuanjun agreed with this.
However, thinking that this cigarette was to make money for Daming, they ignored it for the time being. After returning to Daming, they must not let Zhu Xuan smoke anymore.
End of washing.
When Zhu Xuan came out again, they made sure there was no smell of cigarettes, and then they were willing to let him go.
"Brother, you said that smoking is harmful to health."
Mu Yuanjun warned.
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "I know, I was just socializing with Adelaide. I smoked here for a while. I promise not to smoke again when I go back to Daming."
The three little wives no longer care about smoking.
——
Time passed very quickly, and another two days passed.
The banquet arranged by Adelaide was finally over, and many guests were invited back, and finally Zhu Xuan was invited.
Zhu Xuan took the guards around him, as well as Xu Miaojin and the others, to the castle in Adelaide. This was not the first time he came to this castle, but this time he came again, and he could see that it was much more luxurious than before.
"Adelaide has made a lot of money in the past few years, right?" Zhu Xuan said, looking at it.
"It all depends on His Highness's support." Adelaide laughed.
Without Zhu Xuan's foreign trade, he wouldn't be able to earn so much.
Now that you have money, you must enjoy it.
In addition, he has become the largest and richest aristocrat in this place. Many aristocratic merchants in the West admire him very much, and it can be said that they respect him.
Adelaide wants to hold a banquet, which can bring countless nobles and businessmen to attend.
The castle was filled with nobles and businessmen, all of whom were well-known figures in the West. They all rushed over after being invited by Adelaide.
This shows how powerful the reputation and power are.
"We are collaborating."
Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. We can just find a place to sit down. You go take care of the other guests first, and then we can have a smoke together."
Adelaide had this intention and left first after hearing Zhu Xuan's words.
Mu Yuanjun said softly: "Brother still smokes?"
"Entertainment, this is entertainment."
Zhu Xuan quickly explained.
Sometimes, socializing is unavoidable, and they can understand it.
