Before the reform and opening up, the tobacco factories in various provinces and cities in China were under the jurisdiction of the Central Ministry of Light Industry and were under the unified management of the state. Later, the management of the tobacco factories was delegated to the provinces, and the financial revenue of the tobacco factories became the local financial revenue. For these cigarette factories that go down to the province, the state still has a regulation to limit the scale of production. Moreover, the ex-factory cigarette price and retail price are reviewed and approved by the state, and what the cigarette factory can do is to implement it. It was not until 1988 that the state liberalized the prices of 13 types of famous cigarettes. From this time on, the price of cigarettes began to skyrocket.

In the early 80s, Xishi's Hongshan brand cigarettes were not popular in China, although they were rated as national high-quality products, in addition to marketing in this province, another is Lingnan Province, and other provinces are almost invisible. In Hunan Province, the famous cigarette in this province is the Baisha brand, and Li Zhendong has never seen Hongshan brand cigarettes.

At that time, the price of cigarettes was very low, Pegasus brand cigarettes were 0.28 yuan a pack, Daqianmen brand cigarettes were 0.35 yuan, Warrior brand cigarettes were 0.13 yuan, production brand cigarettes were 0.08 yuan, Albania was 0.20 yuan, and red light was 0.05 yuan. These prices are also retail prices. The most expensive cigarette is what Li Zhendong often uses as a gift now, Zhonghua brand cigarettes, the first brand in China, two yuan a pack.

Of course, this most expensive cigarette only refers to the cigarettes that are sold in the market. There is a kind of cigarette in the cigarette factory, which is distributed according to political tasks and customized according to the personal preferences of national leaders, which is not available on the market, and it should not be called what brand. Select the tobacco factory, select the tobacco, and the tobacco of the strong flavor type and the light fragrance type should be blended in proportion, combined with various processes. This type of cigarette is collectively referred to as specialty cigarettes. There are two types of special cigarettes, one is mass-produced, which is supplied to a small number of high-level national leaders. There is no difference. The other is a cigarette made to order for a few individual leaders.

The Xishi Tobacco Factory is still a small local factory, and the leaders of the cigarette factory, such as Director Chu, are still thinking about how to expand the sales of cigarettes in the market and increase the influence of cigarette brands.

The current Hongshan brand cigarettes are very cheap, although the state has set the retail price, Li Zhendong has no intention of selling them according to the country's price. The country's retail prices are definitely making money. However, that is too little. The price of the deep zone is free, no one cares. Shipped back to Lingnan, you have to add some money. In December, the Spring Festival is not far away, and every household always wants to buy something good for the New Year, right? Is it to set up a few outlets in the Guang Market in Lingnan to sell cigarettes? Li Zhendong was talking with the staff of the Xi City Tobacco Factory. The other side of his mind has run to Guangshi. Do you also buy some shops in Guangzhou? Houses there will not be more expensive than deep zones.

In later generations, the country liberalized the price of cigarettes, and after the 90s, when the Hongshan brand cigarettes in Xishi were selling the best, the people who had a relationship directly resold the approvals. It is said that 2,000 cigarette slips can be sold for 1 million in cash, and many tobacco companies from provinces and cities buy these vouchers.

"You are responsible for transporting the goods to Mingkun City, and the wagons are also contacted by you, and the payment is transferred directly to Huaguo Bank after the formalities are completed. What's your opinion? Li Zhendong said his request.

Almost 70 percent of Yun province's fiscal revenue comes from the tobacco industry, and tobacco factories have stepped in to contact wagon trucks. It is more effective than other large units in the province. This is not very demanding, and several leaders of the cigarette factory talked to each other.

Looking at the young man who was talking on the table, the answer of the factory staff on the other side. The weather was very cold, but Director Kang felt that he was hot all over his body and his mouth and tongue were dry. There was tea provided by the staff of the tobacco factory in front of him, Director Kang picked up the big teacup and drank it in one go, still feeling thirsty. Director Kang didn't speak, his eyes turned, and he gently beckoned a girl standing on the side to come over. The girl stood by the wall and watched the handsome young man who was talking and laughing with the leaders of several factories. The girl suddenly felt something moving in the corner of her eye, and looked sideways. An outside leader was pointing to his cup. The girl's eyebrows moved slightly, and she glanced at the leader, a little surprised, as if the leader had added tea twice in a short period of time?

Director Kang didn't care about the girl's expression, and stared at the incomprehensible scene in front of him with wide eyes. Director Kang, who has always been able to speak well and never be cold wherever he goes, closed his mouth tightly this time.

Who is the person introduced by his old classmates? How could a small young man decide on a business called a huge amount of money so easily. 5,000 pieces of goods, what was the sales volume of Xishi Tobacco Factory last year?

On the phone, Director Du made it very clear that this is a big businessman from Lingnan. I asked for my help, and when I went to the Xishi Tobacco Factory, I asked for some cigarettes for this Mr. Li. When he saw this Mr. Li, Director Kang automatically changed Mr. Li to Mr. Xiao Li. When introducing Director Chu, Director Kang did according to what Director Du said, this Mr. Li is a big businessman. That's what he said when he was introduced, but even Director Kang didn't believe it in his heart, is there a big businessman of this age? Like a merchant? It's just that for the sake of the face of the old classmates, I have to call it that. In Director Kang's heart, looking at the young man's dress and temperament, he is more inclined to another guess, maybe it is the son of which family above?

When greeting Director Chu, Director Kang said that he would give dozens of hundreds of pieces at will, so he didn't kill this Mr. Xiao Li? Who knows, the later development deviated from Director Kang's thoughts, and Director Chu and Mr. Li were talking, and the amount was getting higher and higher. There are some conditions in it, and it has already talked about how to cooperate in the future. How much sales are guaranteed by Mr. Li every year, then, after the development and growth of the Xishi Tobacco Factory in the future, how many goods must be adjusted, how to match best-selling brand cigarettes with other ordinary cigarettes, and so on. This is the reason why Li Zhendong is asking for cigarettes now, if he has a good relationship now, he is afraid that he will not get rich in the future?

As for the state monopoly regulations, in the eyes of people with energy, this regulation is a relationship. It's not enough to choose a tobacco unit to be affiliated with, and this year is not as standardized as in later generations. It's not that there is a saying that there are always more solutions than difficulties.

Director Kang looked stunned. Director Liao smiled, he knew it in his heart, but he was still shocked by this Mr. Li's generosity. Director Liao's mind is very moving, that one is too high and too far away from him, there must be no chance, so, follow this one

"Okay, then let's settle it like this."

5,000 cigarettes, a business close to more than one million yuan, settled in Li Zhendong's laughter. There were not many witnesses, and all the people in the office added up to a dozen.

After such a large order of business, the hospitality is certain. The meal is not very good, according to the standard is four dishes and one soup, but it is a pot that is filled with vegetables. After the group finished eating and drinking, it was already evening when they returned to Mingkun City.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Mingkun Hotel, Yu Lian, who was standing at the front desk and talking, saw Li Gongzi at a glance, and hurriedly walked over, "Childe, the telegram sent by Mr. Liu entrusted by Boss Huang of the Hong Kong District"

"I'll see" Li Zhendong took it, and after reading it, Li Zhendong pondered for a long time, what does Huang Sheng mean, to go to the capital or not? (To be continued......)
