Chapter 182: The idea is very naïve
"Oh, boss, what do you mean, new job, revenge?" Vax didn't know what Chen Liqing was thinking, and was stunned when Chen Liqing suddenly asked.
"Hehe, yes, new job, I'm ready to bring our tobacco to the European market and beat British American Tobacco!" Chen Liqing smiled slightly: "I am ready to hand over these things to you to be responsible for." ”
"Give it to me?" Vax was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved his hand: "No, boss, I can't, I can't do this." Wax actually refused, which surprised Chen Liqing.
"What, you don't want to avenge your brother?"
"I think so, but the boss is British American Tobacco, there are British and Americans in it, and your words are ...... boss" Wax hesitated for a moment and said, "As far as I know, boss, aren't you Chinese afraid of the British and Americans?" ”
Yes, Chen Liqing knew at once that it was now Vax who doubted his strength. From the realization that the two had only been in contact for a few hours, Vax had some respect for himself, most of it because of cigarettes. In normal times, Vax must not have a very good attitude towards Xie Haiyang.
Now a person who was originally weak actually wanted to compete with the British and American companies, this Wax is not stupid, it is okay to brag with Chen Liqing, if he really wants to do something, Wax still has his own judgment.
"Well, Wax, you really don't want to create a tobacco company to beat British American Tobacco?" The strength is Chen Liqing's current hard injury, Wax has doubts about this, but Chen Liqing has a higher evaluation of Wax, this person is still very cautious, not bad.
It's just that since Wax is a talent, and the tobacco business is related to the improvement of Chen Liqing's strength, it is even more impossible for Chen Liqing to let Wax go.
"Yes, but boss, you ......" Wax looked at Chen Liqing suspiciously again.
Chen Liqing deliberately didn't look at Wax's eyes, but slapped his hand and said, "Okay, since you want to, British American Tobacco is not an opponent at the moment, but you should do it." ”
"Say?" Chen Liqing's jumping thinking made Wax unable to keep up, and he couldn't help but say: "Boss, why did you talk about this again?" ”
Chen Liqing said: "Don't interrupt, listen to me, after all, British American Tobacco is a little far away, and now our tobacco company is just starting, so I naturally can't let you run back to Europe." ”
"Didn't you say that before? British American Tobacco is now opening up a market and opening up to our Asia, which is not their territory after all, right? Vax nodded hesitantly.
"If my cigarettes are so good, why should I give them the market?"
"So I'm going to let you be responsible for occupying our Asian market first, and then after the occupation is completed, we will use Asia as a base to radiate to Europe and America." Chen Liqing slightly revealed some of his thoughts.
After all, the European and American markets are far away, and Chen Liqing currently has no strength to sell tobacco. But this market is different, they currently have ships, people, and tobacco, why do they have to go far?
Although there is also a tobacco company in China that monopolizes all the tobacco business in China, it is also difficult for Chen Liqing and his family to compete with this tobacco company, which is also among the top three in the world in the future, but it is easier than going to Europe and the United States to open up the market. The two places are close to each other, and Wax is a German, so he is quite afraid of Europeans and Americans, and it must be relatively easy to open up this market.
And if one accidentally crushes the tobacco company, wouldn't it also weaken the economy of the company in disguise? Why not?
"Ben, okay, boss, I listen to you, what do you want me to do!" Like other foreigners, Wax is naturally not afraid of himself at all, after hearing Chen Liqing say this, Wax also has some itchy hands, and almost immediately agreed to Chen Liqing.
"How to do it, at present, of course, is to organize a fleet first, form a tobacco company, and organize the personnel first." Chen Liqing spread his hands, looked at Wax and said, "I'll leave these to you!" ”
"What? Boss, form a company, you don't have a company yet? Vax rubbed his hands and prepared to dry, and when he heard Chen Liqing say this, he was stunned.
Chen Liqing didn't answer, but rolled his eyes.
Now that Fangcheng is completely in his hands, this kind of ** is not easy, Yu Peilun, Huang Fusheng, Cheng Bijun and others, almost all the big and small things in Fangcheng have to be asked by Chen Liqing, even if he has practiced some martial arts, he is tired enough. Although Chen Liqing has also conceived about today's tobacco company for a long time, Chen Liqing has put it aside because of transportation problems.
Looking at his fleet today, Chen Liqing planned to let the fleet trade first. It was only when I saw Wax that I remembered the tobacco business. This all came out of nowhere, where would Chen Liqing prepare before.
So the captured strong man Wax inexplicably had two more heavy tasks.
Build a fleet and start a tobacco company.
Of course, both of these things are relatively easy, the only problem is the lack of manpower and the lack of organization. This kind of thing Chen Liqing only needs to grasp the general direction, and the rest is naturally left to an experienced person like Wax to do.
And it's a coincidence that Wax not only knows how to drive a boat, but also understands the tobacco company, so if this matter is not handed over to Wax, who else will it be handed over?
It's just that for Chen Liqing, the sudden extra plans of the tobacco company still give him a bit of a headache.
There is nothing technical about Wax forming a fleet and forming a tobacco company, just give him a month or two, during which Vax can say that he doesn't have to worry about anything. However, Chen Liqing is different, after the task is issued, he has to consider a series of issues.
The first problem is the traffic problem that Chen Liqing has been a headache for.
Cigarettes naturally he doesn't need to think about, as early as after the tobacco came out of the super farm, he tried to produce cigarettes, and the output of the cigarette factory in Pingyue is fully enough to cope with the output of cigarettes that will open up the market next year.
And with the Chen family taking control of Guizhou, the area of tobacco cultivation will also expand this year, and the number of cigarette factories in Guizhou Province will definitely exceed double digits in the coming year, and the number of cigarettes produced will also be dozens of times more. It can be said that in the next few years, Chen Liqing does not have to think about cigarettes, what he has to think about is the market, how to transport the cigarettes from Guizhou.
Needless to say, in addition to wanting to meet domestic demand, Chen Liqing now has one more market.
Regardless of the market, another problem is traffic.
Guizhou is located in an awkward inland mountainous region, surrounded by provinces that are even more powerful than him. If you want to sell cigarettes, you naturally have to consider the problem of transportation. And there are two paths in front of Chen Liqing.
The first is to take the inland route of Changsha, Wuhan, Hefei, Nanjing and Shanghai in Hunan. The other one is the Guiyang, Nanning, and Fangchenggang routes that Chen Liqing is currently considering.
The first road, needless to say, was that in this era, there was no railway between Guizhou and Changsha, and even if it did, it would have to cross three or four provinces. If it is in peacetime, there is no need to worry, but this is **, even if the transportation is convenient, who can guarantee that the warlords along the way will not be tempted to know that this is selling tobacco for money.
The second road is the Fangchenggang route in Nanning, Guiyang, which Chen Liqing considered, although it is necessary to detour a considerable sea route to transport cigarettes to Yuben, but if the inland railway transportation is carried out, it only goes through one province, and even if Lu Rongting moves his mind, it is better to discuss it with Lu Rongting alone.
Chen Liqing's previous plan to come to Fangchenggang was to establish his own small base in Fangcheng first, and then wait until Guizhou was pacified, so that his father Chen Mingren and others could negotiate with Lu Rongting whether they could work together to build a railway.
As long as the railway between Guizhou and Guangxi is built, then even if Guizhou is alive, Guangxi will also be able to make a profit.
That's what he planned, but today he suddenly found that it was almost difficult to really implement it. Let's not talk about whether Lu Rongting can really agree to them to build a railway, even if he does, the current Guizhou can't afford to build a railway, and the construction of a railway is not an overnight thing, and when the railway is really opened, the tobacco business will be a little late.
At the same time, if Lu Rongting does not agree, Chen Liqing will develop an army in Fangcheng according to the original plan, wait for the time to be ripe, and attack Lu Rongting on both sides with Guizhou to take Guangxi.
It's just that at present, wanting to take Guangxi is almost a dream, and the Chen family hasn't even mastered Guizhou, so how can they talk about fighting with Lu Rongting, the bandit leader who has been fighting for half his life?
Money, time, personnel, troops, turf...... And so on, almost all of them came up when Chen Liqing was thinking about how to develop a tobacco company. These problems are like 100,000 mountains, which are continuous, and they affect the whole body, making Chen Liqing realize once again that it is difficult to do one thing with modern thinking. His previous thoughts may have been a little silly and naïve.
Of course, perhaps there are many problems in front of Chen Liqing, and some of his ideas are also very stupid and naïve, but since the tobacco company will be established sooner or later, why not start now. Just because it's hard doesn't mean it can't be done.
Chen Liqing did not give up, on the contrary, he worked harder to find a way. It's just that just when Chen Liqing used his brains to solve these problems, other problems appeared in Fangcheng.
Song Xin and them are back. When they came back this time, they were still menacing, bringing enough men and horses, and when they heard the news of their return, the landlords who had been suppressed in Fangcheng also broke out completely. (To be continued.) )
