After settling the shipping containers, Hitler and Dembuch went to Hamburg, 50 kilometers from Bremen, where they had bought a cigarette factory two months earlier.

Hitler discovered a long time ago that people during the First World War actually smoked cigarettes without filters, and at first thought that only occasionally one or two cigarette companies produced cigarettes were like this, but I didn't expect that all cigarettes were like this without filters.

It turned out that there were no cigarettes with filters at this time.

Cigarettes without filters are very strong, the favorite of old smokers, but the corresponding harm is also greater, in Germany, 1 million people die a year from cigarette-related diseases.

Therefore, two months ago, Hitler specially acquired the Hanseatic Tobacco Factory in Hamburg, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, injected funds into the Hanseatic Tobacco Factory, recruited a large number of technical personnel, and let them study filters, especially thanks to the German Security Agency, many retired and laid-off technical talents throughout Germany were found by Hitler, and then invited the Hanseatic Tobacco Factory with high salaries.

The office building of the Hanseatic Tobacco Factory stands on the banks of the Elbe River, and in the conference room on the fourth floor, Hitler looked at the dozen people in the conference room and nodded with satisfaction, these people are elites, without them, it is impossible to develop cigarettes with filters.

Ginter, who was transferred to the Hanseatic factory as director, said: "These are the first blended cigarettes with filters produced at the Hanseatic factory, so please try them. ”

A dozen cigarettes in a beautiful red box were distributed to a dozen people in the conference room, and those who smoked began to smoke, and those who did not smoke just sniffed, and the conference room fell into silence.

Hitler also smoked one, only to feel fragrant in the mouth, with both the mild sweetness of ordinary flue-cured tobacco and the spicy appetizing taste of dried tobacco and the pure aftertaste, not as dizzy and nauseous as some smokes.

"Good smoke!" Hitler, as the boss, was the first to speak, and as he spoke, the conference room suddenly erupted in real cheers to celebrate the success of developing cigarettes.

Some people hugged each other, some people stood up and applauded, everyone had a happy look on their faces, and more than a month of difficult research and development was finally affirmed today. Many of the people present are engaged in technical work, and for those engaged in technical work, money and status are not important, they attach importance to the current research problems, and finding a way to solve the problem is the happiest thing for most researchers.

Just like doing a problem, it takes a lot of time just to solve a difficult math problem, and the more difficult it is to solve the problem, the more accomplished it will be when it comes to solving the problem.

After a few minutes, when everyone's emotions had calmed down, Ginter introduced them to Hitler: "These three are Templer, Conley, and Clay, who were responsible for the development of this hybrid cigarette with filter. ”

"I admire your efforts." Hitler shook hands with him and praised.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

Temple was very modest, and Hitler knew what he was modest, and although Temple deserves praise, his main credit is to work with Conley to analyze the material ratio of other hybrid cigarettes, and then debug and develop according to experience, and finally developed the first batch of hybrid cigarettes at the Hamburg tobacco factory. Temple deserves praise, but it is not too much, and Temple deserves it.

At this time, there were already mixed cigarettes on the market, such as Marlboro, Camel, etc., and the market share was mainly in the United States, Europe still smoked flue-cured tobacco, and mixed cigarettes have not become popular for the time being.

Ginter continues: "This is Mr. Conley from Bayer, who was involved in the development of hybrid cigarettes and the fibers in the filter. ”

"Thank you for your support." Hitler shook hands with Conley, and Bayer was one of the top five chemical companies in Germany at this time, and had not yet united with all the chemical companies to form a conzenite interest group in the dye industry.

"My father died of lung cancer because of smoking, and I am honored to be a part of a product that makes people all over the world healthy." Conley is a balding middle-aged man who speaks calmly.

Ginter then explains: "This is Mr. Clay from the Hamburg Maschinenbau, and he invented the machinery for producing cigarettes with filters. ”

"Anyone who smokes in the future should remember you." Hitler respectfully said that cigarettes with filters could not have been mass-produced without machines for the production of cigarettes with filters.

Later, under Ginter's introduction, Hitler shook hands with everyone in the room, some of whom were from the Hanseatic Tobacco Factory and some of whom were technical managers of other companies.

To develop a product, only by learning from others can we have the opportunity to develop it.

"Boss, come up with a name for our hybrid cigarettes with filters." Ginter suggested.

Hitler pondered for a moment and then smiled: "Hamburg in history established the Hanseatic League, free trade, the current Hamburg city is known as Germany's door to the world, but also a symbol of freedom, cigarettes are many people leisure time to relax products, but also means a moment of freedom, simply called Freedom brand cigarettes." ”

Of course, no one objected to Hitler's name, so the name of the first cigarette with a filter in history was called "Liberty".

…………

After several days of management at the Hanseatic tobacco factory in Hamburg, Hitler made many suggestions for the management of the sales of the tobacco factory.

Hitler and Güntle walked along the banks of the Elbe, talking about business, and Hitler said: "I don't think the European market is so easy to accept whether it is cigarettes with filters or mixed cigarettes, so the former Hanseatic flue-cured tobacco of the Hanseatic tobacco factory will continue to be sold, so that the initial Hanseatic tobacco factory will not lose money." We need to do whatever it takes to promote the benefits of cigarettes with filters and hybrid cigarettes in newspapers and magazines. ”

"Okay." Gint had a pencil case notebook in his hand and wrote down Hitler's words at any time.

Hitler looked at the ships coming and going on the Elbe, and thought slowly.

The city of Hamburg is adjacent to the North Sea Deutsche Bay, and is the northern transportation hub, trade center, extremely prosperous, from the Elbe River to the river upstream, you can reach the capital Berlin within a few hours, so the port of Hamburg at this time is the first port in Germany.

Hitler said: "The Hanseatic cigarette factory has to produce many different products, there must be cigarettes suitable for the common people, there are more than a dozen pfennig cigarettes, and there are several mark cigarettes for the upper class to smoke, and we have to study the pricing strategy carefully, in short, you have to manage flexibly, you have to spread the products of the Hanseatic tobacco factory in Germany within one year, and sell them to Europe within two years, and it is best to surpass Weiss cigarettes and Lemo cigarettes and become the number one brand of German cigarettes." ”

At this time, the cigarette market mainly included Camel, Jian, Yunston, Haocai, Xiaomei, as well as Germany's Weiss and Lemo, as well as Marlboro, which focused on the women's market.

There are many cigarette brands, especially small ones, just like in the whole of Germany, there are more than two dozen tobacco companies, at least a hundred brands, Weiss and Lemore, which are just a little famous.
