When it comes to the business of sodours, the largest market is currently in Europe. In the spring, the parties to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control signed an agreement in Geneva, and European countries are the fastest to implement it, and smoking is no longer allowed in all indoor public places and public transport.

Butterfly Company, which has already established vape dealerships in several countries, has taken the opportunity to launch a new round of publicity with some local anti-smoking organizations, and the sales of its products have increased significantly. Now the factory in Shenzhen is almost at full capacity, but the supply of products is still in short supply.

In addition to smoking equipment, the U.S. branch has the largest shipments of e-liquid, with 70% of customers in Europe. In fact, compared with smoking equipment, e-liquid is more profitable, take a 30-milliliter bottle of e-liquid, its ex-factory price is 9.9 US dollars, and the retail price in Europe can be sold for 15 US dollars.

Thanks to the protection of patented technology in Europe and the United States, Hong Tao does not have to worry about someone copying his own cigarettes and e-liquid on a large scale. Of course, there will be ingenious European and American people copying these products in their own homes, but as long as they do not enter the circulation market, they will have no impact on the butterfly company.

As for whether there will be other European and American companies using Butterfly Company's products as the prototype to reverse-develop similar steam smokers, Hong Tao doesn't care. Smoking equipment is very easy to develop, but the modulation of e-liquid is more troublesome, and it has to slowly adapt to the taste of consumers, which takes a long time.

These jobs have been done by Hong Tao and the Butterfly Company for several years in advance, and the word preconceived is very good, and the Butterfly Company has taken the lead and can eat alone for two or three years.

In the past two or three years, whether the butterfly company can maintain its advantages and continue to grow bigger and stronger depends on Jiang Zhuyi's ability. Thomas became a director of the board of directors of the Zhang family, and Diane had a Jeddah investment project to operate, and they no longer regarded or looked down on a small butterfly company. Even if it is gaining momentum, it is still a small and inconspicuous company, a small company that produces vape and e-liquid, and it doesn't sound so powerful.

But Hong Tao knows that this butterfly is small and not very glamorous in appearance, but the energy it contains is not small at all. In the next few years, the sales volume will roll upward, and the profits will be more considerable.

This is another way back for Hong Tao to leave for himself, even if his domestic companies collapse in the future, the Zhang family and the Feng family will no longer trust themselves. As long as the butterfly is alive, he can still go to Switzerland, find a beautiful lakeside town, buy a piece of land, build a big house for his wife and children, and live carefree until he dies.

In fact, Hong Tao can choose this path now, and it is much easier to walk than to return to China, but he doesn't want to wander around anymore, and he doesn't want to suddenly disappear from somewhere and then run to another era to toss. As long as possible, he wants to lie at home in peace, not from all over the world, but to go back to his own home.

Probably because the sudden appearance of Hong Tao caught the government by surprise, the scheduled date of Jeddah's visit was postponed. We will have to wait for further negotiations on when we will be able to make the trip, or we will not be allowed to enter the country altogether.

Even Jeddah can't predict what the final outcome will be, although Hong Tao is only a small **, there are always some shadows standing around him, and the country has to think twice before making a decision. It is precisely because he is inconspicuous that no one will take risks, it is too worthless.

The negotiator didn't wait, but Ouyang Fanfan's parents suddenly appeared. After getting the news, Hong Tao hurriedly flew back to Hong Kong from Australia, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the big axe holding Xiao Ouyang Fan walking in the yard. He also saw himself, but he didn't even say hello, just motioned with his eyes to Hong Tao to hurry into the house.

"You're Hong Tao! It's the first time I've heard of such a relationship, what is this, elopement? Ouyang and I have never interfered in the child's private life, but after all, we are still Fanfan's parents, and you don't take us into account when you do this, isn't it worth notifying us!"

In the room sat Ms. Bai and a pair of young and old, the man was skinny and gray-haired, and it was impossible to tell whether he was in his sixties or seventy. The female is simply a copy of Ouyang Fanfan, except that her face is not very similar, her figure and temperament are almost identical.

But Hong Tao knew that this was not Fan Fan's own mother, she was a continuation of the string, and she only entered the door shortly after Fan Fan was born. Speaking of Fan Fan's father, it is also quite interesting, he is a high-level intellectual, so advanced that outsiders don't know what they are studying.

Fanfan's little mother is his assistant, and the scientific research results are not unclear, anyway, it is true that the two of them have studied in the same bed. And judging by Ouyang Fanfan's appearance, her biological mother should also look similar to this little mother, and it is cost-effective that old Ouyang likes petite ones in his life.

But don't look at her petite figure and a baby face, but her voice and temper are really not weak. As soon as Hong Tao entered the door, he didn't have a chance to report his name, so he was beaten by her.

Seeing this scene, Ms. Bai secretly pursed her lips, Hong Tao was a big man of more than one meter and eight, and Ouyang Fanfan, the little mother, was only more than one meter and a half, and the two of them stood in the middle of the living room facing each other, and Hong Tao had to bow his head and be trained.

“…… Yes, you are right in your criticism, and the responsibility lies with me. The objective reasons will not be mentioned, and there are also subjective problems, which must be carefully examined. Hong Tao originally wanted to explain to the mother-in-law-to-be, but after seeing Ms. Bai's expression, the words that had already reached her lips were swallowed back. Putting on the same face as the dean of school when he was in school, he not only lowered his head, but even bent his waist, trying to close the height difference between the two people.

"Xiaolian, pay attention to the occasion...... Young man, don't be nervous, both subjective and objective should be taken into account, and the conclusion after comprehensive analysis will be accurate. Let's sit down first, the two of us didn't come to the door to ask for sin, and there is also the responsibility of mortals in this matter, we are ashamed that we didn't educate her well. ”

Hong Tao's answer and attitude were a little unexpected for this little mother, and she admitted her mistake without justifying anything, and she was a little hesitant to say what to say next.

At this time, Fan Fan's father opened his mouth, and he felt very familiar as soon as he opened his mouth, not with a familiar voice, but with that kind of emphasis and familiarity, much like some professors in his father's unit. When the house is on fire, they don't have to be anxious, they have to rationally analyze the cause of the fire and remedies behind their backs, their mouths are full of theories, and they have to tell a truth in everything.

When he was a child, Hong Tao was most annoyed by this kind of person, a standard mouth peddler. When I grew up, I slowly understood that these people didn't mean to just talk and not practice, they really wouldn't. Most of the fields they study have little to do with daily life, or are they pure theories, which will be somewhat detached from reality after a long time.

But don't underestimate these people, without their theoretical support, there would be no scientific progress. In the European and American academic systems, there is a clear distinction between applied and theoretical disciplines, and the famous Princeton University only has theoretical research and no applied disciplines.

"Listening to your words, uncle, reminds me of my father, and if he were still alive, he would definitely think the same way. "I have a lot of experience in how to deal with the scholar Hong Tao, which is a valuable experience that has been summed up after many times of practice.

There are two taboos when getting along with them, one is not to mention money, they don't love money but disdain to mention it, and feel ashamed. The second is not to mention power, these people look down on officials very much in their bones, thinking that those who are officials are stupid, or unreasonable stupid, they can't communicate at all, and it's even more embarrassing to talk to stupid people.

The most effective way to gain their favor or recognition is to make them feel like you're the same kind of person. Hong Tao doesn't plan to become a scholar in his life, but he has a father who is also a professor. Even if you can't reach the height of a scholar, you can still get a little bit of a side.

"What does your father do?" Sure enough, Hong Tao's words worked.

"He's a college teacher, teaching advanced math. While answering the old man's question, Hong Tao put Fan Fan's mother, who was still blocked in front of him, on the sofa. Although she was not willing to let Hong Tao hide so lightly, she still endured it after taking a look at her husband.
