Chapter 682: Extortion has become a tool for many people to make a living
Xu Ping'an nodded after listening, looked at the two of them and continued to ask, "In your opinion, how much is the right amount of this kind of cigarettes, you don't need to consider the cost, just take this box of cigarettes as an example."
"Ten euros" Jensen gave a price.
"Six euros" Paric also gave a price.
"The second question, if it doesn't contain any tobacco, what price will you give?" Xu Ping'an looked at the two and said directly.
Jensen and Parridge are dumbfounded, they don't contain tobacco, how is this possible, they obviously feel the taste of tobacco, as an old smoker for many years, their taste will not be a problem.
Jensen hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, if this does not contain tobacco and keeps the taste, I am willing to pay twenty euros for it."
"I accept the price too," says Parridge, agreeing with Jensen.
Xu Ping'an smiled and nodded, very satisfied with the answer given by the two.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is what you are going to do without a trace of tobacco"
"At present, the world is just something I can enjoy," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
Xu Ping'an's cigarettes were replaced with this kind of cigarettes three years ago, and all the failed tree vines were made into cigarettes for Xu Ping'an's use only, of course, Dr. Tang En would throttle a little for his own consumption.
Jensen and Parridge were really shocked this time, and they never dreamed that it would be such an ungodly product, which did not contain tobacco but had the taste of tobacco, and it could also relieve smoking addiction.
How is this possible, Jensen immediately took a few sips in a row and tasted it, and the same was true for Paris, not believing Xu Ping'an said, how could it not contain a trace of tobacco in it.
Although Paric is a woman, she also needs two cigarettes a month, and she is also a senior smoker, so she can definitely tell the difference between good and bad tobacco.
"Boss, there really isn't any tobacco in here," Jensen asked with a serious expression on his face.
"Of course, not only is there no tobacco in it, but there are fewer flavors than cigarettes on the market, and it does not produce any nicotine at all."
"The plant burned in the cigarette roll is made of a plant that has been developed by my Tianqi Group for many years, and we are the only one in the world who has this plant," Xu Ping'an said confidently.
Jensen was shocked for a while, thought for a while and said, "BOSS, there is absolutely no problem with the sales of this product, I don't know if BOSS intends to sell exclusively or take the form of authorized cooperation to sell."
"I'd like to hear your opinion," Xu Ping'an asked, looking at Jensen.
In the future, Jensen is going to be the president of this new company, and his opinion is very important, which can be regarded as another assessment.
"Boss, I suggest that we negotiate with large tobacco consortia in Europe and the United States, and we will charge an additional part of the licensing fee to collect from them, and demarcate their respective areas for sales."
"If we eat alone, it will definitely hurt their interests, and once this kind of tobacco-free cigarette comes out, it will definitely bring them huge losses"
"They will definitely not give up, they will definitely play all kinds of tricks in secret, and our profits will definitely be affected"
"We have the source of the supply, we can integrate their strength, and with their power we may bring other benefits"
"That's how we can get the most out of it," Jensen said seriously.
"You're right, I think so," Xu Ping'an nodded with a satisfied expression and said.
Jensen was able to think of such a solution in a short period of time, obviously with a lot of social experience, and knew very well how to play the game.
The EU tobacco consortium is strong, don't look at the usual inconspicuous mountains, anyone who underestimates them will not end well against the tobacco consortium.
"You two don't have any employment contracts on you now, go to the Victory Spear Law Firm in the afternoon to sign a legal contract, receive a settling-in allowance, and then go home to settle in"
"Give you ten days off, and after ten days, go to J City in the Celestial Empire to meet Chen Fansheng, president of Tianqi Scientific Research Group, and he will introduce you to the details of this product."
"If you want to set up a Tianqi Health Company in the Celestial Empire, you can ask Wu Sikai, the Minister of Justice of the headquarters, to help you with the relevant legal documents."
"In the future, your company and Poseidon will merge and be collectively known as Tianqi Health Group."
"After the merger, Kaier, the general manager of Poseidon, will be the president of the group, and you will be the vice president, understand" Xu Ping'an looked at the two and said.
"Understood," Jensen said in unison with Paris.
The two of them know very well what the status of the Poseidon Group is in the Apocalypse Group, it is the company started by Xu Ping'an, and Kyle is also the old man of the company, so there is nothing unacceptable to be led by Kyle.
Besides, the treatment issue has been said yesterday, it is much more generous than other companies in the outside world, and once it merges with Poseidon, its treatment will only rise and not fall.
Xu Ping'an chatted with the two for a while, communicated the operation of the company, and let the two leave.
I gave two people a pack of cigarettes, and I will taste it slowly, which is a good thing that money can't buy.
After sending the two away, Xu Ping'an let out a long breath, in a good mood, with the profits brought by the Golden Grass project, he can really sit back and relax.
In the evening, Xu Ping'an had a phone call with Kyle, and Kyle was also shocked by the Golden Grass project, he really didn't expect that there was such an anti-sky project sealed within the company.
"Don't worry, boss, I will help Jensen and them, I have no opinion on the merger next year, and the Poseidon will be even more powerful after the merger" Kyle said directly.
"I also believe that the Poseidon brand will be even stronger, and the two companies will be collectively known as Apocalypse Health Group after the merger, and Poseidon will remain as an independent brand."
"The Golden Grass project should focus on building the Golden Grass brand, and there are many markets in Asia and the South Pacific island countries, which will bring us great profits."
"Coupled with the fact that we control the raw materials, we can earn more money"
"In this way, no one can shake your boss's position," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
"Thank you boss, I love the boss position," Kyle said with a smile.
Each branch within the Apocalypse Group has an additional bonus for the branch with the highest profit every year, and in recent years, Kyle, Buurson, Aubrey, Ji Xueyi and others have competed very hard.
Don't look at Ji Xueyi's playing finance, sometimes he really doesn't necessarily do these guys, and the windfall profits brought by technology are sometimes higher than financial income.
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
The next day, Jensen and Parridge went to the law firm to go through the formalities, and Dalina was sent by Xu Ping'an to the law firm, and all the formalities were completed, and the two were given 50,000 euros each.
Ten days later, I went to Tianchao J City to report and start the Golden Grass project.
Five days passed slowly, and Chen Fansheng took the lead and directly contracted 150,000 mu of land in the northwest of the Celestial Empire.
Immediately afterwards, an agreement was signed on the Russian side, and 80,000 acres of land were contracted.
Jensen and Paritch arrived in the Celestial Empire, chatted with Wu Sikai, officially registered Apocalypse Health Company in J City, and began to build a team through Korn Ferry recruiters.
During this period, Jensen and Paritch had a detailed communication and understanding with Chen Fansheng, and only then did they have a comprehensive contact with the Golden Grass project, and after understanding everything, Jensen thoroughly felt the strength of the Apocalypse Group.
Huo Minghai also sent three financial personnel to Tianqi Health Company, and Wu Sikai arranged for three lawyers to be stationed in Tianqi Health Company, and the legal department and finance department personnel were in place.
Half a month later, Jensen began to move, Greece took 50,000 acres of land, Spain bought 50,000 acres of land, Ukraine bought 100,000 acres of land, and Canada bought 100,000 acres of land.
Tianqi Energy Group and Buerson are also in action, acquiring seven coal mines in Africa, and contacting Buck and Chen Qilin, both of whom have sent personnel to take over the protection of the mines.
If you want to protect your mines in Africa, it depends on who is ruthless, and anyone who wants to rely on the law to be ruthless enough will lose a lot.
There are only two kinds of people who can open mines and operate in Africa, the first is to rely on the power in their hands to be ruthless enough to deter Xiaoxiao.
The second is the practice of completely fattening local government officials, such as the Celestial Empire, which is very costly.
Don't think too much of the locals, these people don't like to work, they don't want to work, extortion has become a livelihood tool for many people, you can't deter them, the result is 100% loss.
Xu Ping'an will definitely not take the second method, he will definitely not bear the anger of being blackmailed every day, and he is not without the strength to fight back, he is not a state power, and he has not so many concerns.
Before leaving, the captains sent were told that this is a mine belonging to our Apocalypse Group, and if anyone rushes over to blackmail, no matter who he is, he will be killed.
Chen Qilin sent 700 people on his side, 100 people for each mine, and the same was true for Buck's side, after the personnel were in place, the number of security personnel in each mine reached 200.
Subsequently, there will be a lot of weapons and ammunition, helicopter gunships will be brought over, and each mine will be equipped with two helicopter gunships, and a batch of infantry vehicles, which will be enough.
Xu Ping'an had already inspected the Italian branch and the Austrian branch at this moment, and flew to the island of Adrius to comprehensively inspect the progress of the Ice Palace project.
During this period, I also made a submarine secret trip to the Antarctic base, and now the base is different from the previous one, with a strong modern atmosphere.
Jiang Huaqiang, the person in charge of the secret base, a native of the Celestial Empire, an orphan, a former soldier, dared to fight, and was the first batch of people to join the mercenaries.
Accompanied Xu Ping'an to visit the base and gave a detailed introduction to all aspects of the base.
Through the thick ice, above it is the Antarctic research station of the Apocalypse Group, and four of the seven major research stations are closed to the public, and this research station is one of them.
Seventy percent of the personnel in the scientific research station are security personnel, and they are equipped with sufficient firepower.
The remaining 30 percent are scientific researchers, and the two sides maintain a tacit understanding.
Inside the base is the Submarine Research Institute and the Weapons Research Institute, most of the earth is the sea, and the submarine has a great market potential to be developed, and the third-generation single-person submarine is researched here.
At the same time, there is enough food for 500 people to eat for a year, plus an air filtration system, a communication system, a desalination system, etc., which can be called an excellent refuge.
Even if there is a nuclear war outside, you can survive very comfortably here, at least for a long time longer than people from the outside world.
If the ecosystem project of Apocalypse Group is completely broken through in the future, it will not be a problem, and it will be extremely easy to survive until the end of life.
