Due to Xia Jun's investment in the metallurgical industry, Dong Xinjie was also transferred to Zhangping, responsible for the construction of steel plants and the mining of coal and iron ore.
At the same time, a group of students from the Institute of Science and Technology were transferred to Zhangping.
Xia Jun was walking sideways in Fujian at this time, and although the mass base in southern Fujian was not very large, the government absolutely did not dare to take care of the affairs of the security corps.
Xia Jun wants to open a mine in Zhangping, and he will inform the local magistrate.
In addition to the steel plant, coking plant, cement plant and other factories, the site of other factories is selected in Jian'an, which is convenient for management.
The opening of these factories has made Xia Jun's demand for talents more vigorous, and at this time, Jianzhou University has developed greatly, and the school has absorbed more than 1,500 college students.
Liu Jinshan helped Xia Jun 'pimp' while recovering the funds, and the teachers and students who were pulled to Jianzhou University were also writing letters to solicit people, so that now Jianzhou University is developing extremely rapidly.
In addition to university students, there are nearly 4,000 middle school students from all over the world.
Xia Jun's conditions are very generous, which is why these students are willing to come, and it is also related to the generous rewards for introducers, which is not much different from the MLM model.
The arrival of these teachers and students allowed Xia Jun to set up a normal college, and the number of science and engineering students at Jianzhou University accounted for 70% of the entire university.
And the technical school opened by Xia Jun before was also full, and there were people in various training classes.
It is estimated that the number of teachers and students brought in this month will increase, but Xia Jun has no problem in terms of finance, Jianzhou Bank has been opened, and Jianzhou Bank is currently expanding to the whole of Fujian.
Since Jianzhou Bank has the support of the security team, it is very open in all counties, and every time it opens to a place, Xia Jun will send someone to inform him.
If the magistrate doesn't know each other, send a squad of scouts to the county, pull the magistrate out of bed in the middle of the night and take a plane, and when you take a plane, you sit on an explosives bag, and if you pack a little explosives, people will blow them out......
Xia Jun was active frequently in Fujian, and the main manifestation of this was armed escort, and if it was not smooth to reach any boundary, he would immediately intimidate his local officials.
This recruitment has worked very well, those officials are too frightened to move, and now Xia Jun has obtained the status of autonomy, and he has soldiers in his hands, and they can be killed by both the open and the dark.
At present, the security regiment in Fujian is basically walking sideways, and it has evolved to the point of openly armed entry into the county seat, and those local officials dare not stop it.
Even the prefects were intimidated by Xia Jun, and those prefects were no different from the prefects.
Therefore, the establishment of the Jianzhou Bank in other counties was very smooth, and the banks were opened in Fuzhou and Xiamen, where more funds could be absorbed.
With the arrival of equipment from various factories and the arrival of the engineering team, everywhere seemed to be busy, and these engineering pairs were directly hired by Xia Jun from the exchange platform.
In contrast, the factories that have already been built are now running very well.
The profit of the textile mill in July has risen to 1.2 million silver dollars, and the profit of the paper mill has also increased significantly, and it has already made a profit of 900,000 silver dollars last month.
The cigarette factory is also up and running, the problem of raw materials has been solved, and the first batch of cigarettes has been produced.
A box of cigarettes costs about 41 kilograms of tobacco, a box of 50 cigarettes, a box of 200 cigarettes, and a box of 1,000 cigarettes.
Xia Jun made two cigarette brands, one called 'Pegasus' and the other called 'Meteor', with a printed beauty pattern and a macho man pattern on the bag.
For this reason, Xia Jun shamelessly printed the photos of some celebrities in later generations, both at home and abroad, and a brand of cigarettes printed more than a dozen versions of beauty patterns, so there is no need to worry about being chased for any endorsement fees.
The pattern of the beautiful woman poses in various hot poses, and the macho man's is a photo of him smoking, which looks cool.
This packaging should be distinctive and tempting.
Maybe some lonely and empty man saw it and bought it, bought one version of the cigarette, and wanted to buy another version of the cigarette, so he continued to buy it......
The packaging will continue to innovate and change the version every year. The wrappers are produced by the packaging factory opened by Xia Jun.
The other two brands are also divided into three grades, the lowest grade filter uses yellow paper, the mid-grade gold paper, and the high-end filter uses white paper.
On the inside of the cigarette, the filter is wrapped in snow-white paper, and the acetate fiber of the filter is also snow-white, which looks like a high-end product.
The golden one looks more vulgar, although vulgar people will like it, but it is not restrained enough, so it is positioned in the mid-range.
In terms of taste, the three grades of cigarettes are also different, and the degree of roasting and fermentation of tobacco leaves is also different. At the same time, the Pegasus brand cigarettes printed with the beauty pattern are very light to smoke, which is suitable for those who have just smoked, while the Meteor brand cigarettes are printed with a macho pattern, which is naturally a heavy taste.
Xia Jun put a lot of effort into the packaging, and the first batch of cigarettes left the factory quickly.
After several months of trying, the process of roasting and fermenting tobacco has matured, and the workers of the cigarette factory have been able to process tobacco proficiently.
