The aftermath of the third volume is 56 cigarettes, big smoke cigarettes
There is a reason why Situ Nan is strict with Huang Zongxiao, he knows that if history has not changed, in five or six years, Huang Zhonghan will die, and the heir of the Huang family will not succeed effectively, and finally ruin the family business
Although Situ Nan is confident that he will change the history of Nanyang, the Huang family has not been suppressed and exploited by the Dutch and Indian colonial governments, and may not decline, but if the descendants of the Huang family are still as mediocre as in history, and Jianyuan Company has not established a perfect professional manager system, it will eventually be eliminated in the fierce market competition.
Before Huang Zhonghan left, he said to Situ Nan, "I will close the Huang family's opium within a year, turn it into a pharmacy, and donate to build a hospital, which can be regarded as atonement for my sins."
These words moved Situ Nan, for which Huang Zhonghan would lose several million, although there may be an element of improving his image and currying favor with Situ Nan and the top of the Zhi Gong Party.
In addition to the need for funds, the conversion of opium shops into pharmacies also requires sufficient supplies. Under Situ Nan's guidance, Huang Zhonghan's Huang's Pharmaceutical Company was able to purchase all kinds of medicines from Hu Wenhu's Yongan Pharmacy, Guangzhou's Baiyun Mountain Pharmaceutical Factory, and even the American Giant Company.
Huang Zhonghan's change made Situ Nan's impression of the Huang family change a lot, and he also became a little concerned about the affairs of the Huang family.
To be sure, opium is both a drug and a medicine, and morphine extracted from opium can be used to calm pain and is a must-have for trauma first aid.
The transformation of the Huangjia Tobacco House will not change the opium epidemic in Indonesia, and a major source of tax revenue for the Dutch and Indian colonial governments is obtained from the auction of opium franchises, and they will naturally not give up the opium market. It is a pity that in Nanyang, in addition to the natives, there are also many Chinese who smoke opium, and many wealthy families are bankrupt because of opium smoking, and those Chinese laborers who have crossed the ocean are tempted by others, and they also suck up all their hard-earned money, and in the end they can only become hard workers of unscrupulous bosses.
The Meihua Company is extremely rejecting opium, because it will not only consume Meihua's resources, but also corrode people's spirit, so in Meihua's enterprises or farms, opium is a natural rule, and no opium-smoking employees are allowed.
And those merchants who supplied opium to the workers would also be brutally suppressed by the American Chinese Company, which was already known within the Zhi Gong Party. One of the causes of the conflict between the Meihua Company and An Liangtang was opium.
Since he had made up his mind to join the Zhi Gong Party, Huang Zhonghan intended to follow Lin Zexu Humen in burning cigarettes, and wanted to burn all the opium, but Situ Nan stopped him.
"This is only a palliative treatment, and we need funds now, so it's a shame to destroy all that opium in vain." We can use opium to make medicine. Situ Nan explained to Huang Zhonghan that opium can actually be used to refine useful medical drugs such as morphine.
Dissuaded by Situ Nan, Huang Zhonghan decided to seal up the opium stockpile and transport it to a secret base in Medan to produce morphine in preparation for future first-aid supplies.
As for the drugs extracted from opium, Situ Nan did not dare to mention it.
There are plenty of opportunities to make money, so there is no need to make a profit by producing drugs. The giant company got a lot of chemical technology from the German BASF company, and it was not difficult to produce drugs, but Situ Nan didn't want to make Nanyang like the golden triangle of the previous life, and white powder was flooded everywhere, so most of the opium that Meihua Company took from Huang Zhonghan was used to refine morphine.
This has created an interesting situation, although Huang Zhonghan changed the opium business, he still buys a lot of opium every year, and then sends it to the chemical factory in Medan, after preliminary refinement, it is shipped to the American giant company for refinement, and finally it is turned into morphine, headache powder and other pain-relieving anesthetic drugs that can be legally sold, making a huge profit.
With its preeminence in the Spanish flu, Giant obtained a license from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to manufacture and sell morphine, so in addition to sulfonamides, Giant also began to produce morphine on a large scale.
A large number of U.S. soldiers in World War I were traumatized by war and had to rely on narcotic drugs, so morphine has a wide potential in the U.S. market.
In short, morphine is popular, although it is not as magical as Coca-Cola, from a therapeutic drug to a world-famous drink, but the emergence of morphine is also a product of the diversification of Giant Company.
When Situ Nan was still in Singapore, he issued an order to the United States to liquidate the assets of Giant Company in preparation for the separation of Giant Company in a few months.
In this regard, Huang Zhonghan was very emotional, he once again saw Situ Nan's ability, and turned negative opium into good medicine, which not only made a lot of profits but also won a good reputation???????
The heat wave is rolling. The surface temperature is as high as 40 degrees, and when you walk on the street, you can feel the heat on the soles of your feet, like stepping on red-hot carbon.
The person didn't take a few steps before he was already sweating. The scorching heat close to the equator makes people afraid to move indiscriminately during the day, and there are naturally not many people on the streets. A car sped by, heading straight for the port.
Although sitting in a car is not as uncomfortable as walking on the street, Jian Zhaonan's mood is like an ant on a hot pot. When he thought that if he had not received a sum of emergency funds, Nanyang Tobacco Company would be ruined, and the hard work of his two brothers over the years would have been in vain.
Jian Zhaonan had arrived in Singapore from Medan, and the person he was looking for was on the William. When the car arrived at the dock, Jian Zhao got out of the car, took a deep breath, calmed down, and got on the William with a face.
Situ Nan hid in the shaded cabin, and Yao Hongmin sighed about the Minas oil field in Sumatra. As Stuart Nan expected, Occidental Petroleum's success in the Minas field did spur the Dutch, and Shell repeatedly offered to participate in the oil field development project, but Occidental Petroleum rejected it.
Annoyed, Shell began to mobilize relations between the Dutch government and the Dutch and Indian colonial authorities in an attempt to establish a policy whereby the oil resources of the Dutch Indonesian archipelago could only be exploited by Dutch oil companies or Dutch joint ventures, except for the oil fields already exploited.
This is clearly aimed at Occidental Petroleum and its ally, Gulf Oil, which means that the rest of the Minas field will not be owned by Occidental Petroleum except for a small piece of oil that has just been opened.
The Minas field is so large that Shell will soon discover the entire Minas field once it explores near the Occidental Petroleum field. At that time, most of the oil in the Minas field will be owned by Shell.
"According to what I have heard, the Dutch and Indian colonial governments are ready to do it, and they will implement this policy within a week." 2000 Yao Hongmin said with some concern.
"Don't worry, there are many people who want to grab Lao Tzu's things, and there are not many who can grab them. The Dutch were just dreaming. Situ Nan snorted coldly.
"It's a pity, it's not time to turn around now, it would be nice if it would be two more years."
Yao Hongmin persuaded him, fearing that Situ Nan would be angry for a while and would go to war with the Dutch. He has followed Situ Nan for so many years, and naturally understands that oil is Situ Nan's lifeblood.
The Zhi Gong Party is in a big game of chess, and it cannot fight hard with the Dutch and Indian colonial authorities for the time being, even if Zhang Haoran, a member of the Zhi Gong Party, has quietly taken control of the Dumai area, and the entire Minas oil field is within the attack range of the Chinese armed forces, it must be patient for the time being.
Now is not the time for the Zhi Gong Party to turn against the Dutch, after all, the Western oil company operates oil exploration in the territory of the Netherlands, and is subject to the constraints of the local government, if the other party really wants to come hard, it may be their own side that suffers.
"Huh. I don't need you to show up, I have my own way of cleaning up the Dutch. You tell me to go down, and in the meantime, the movement is quieter, and the Dutch have noticed Sumatra, and I will talk about it when I get rid of those whimsical guys. Situ Nan said confidently, and Ben didn't take the Dutch seriously.
If it were in Malaya, the territory of the British, Situ Nan would have restrained a little, but unfortunately I'm sorry, this is Sumatra, and the declining sea coachman wants to rob Uncle Sam of the United States, which is not very realistic.
"The company calls so many taxes to the U.S. government every year, and the strength of the U.S. fleet in the Philippines is not as strong as the British, is it not as strong as the Dutch? I wish the Dutch were more reckless, because the Dutch government did not prepare the US oil company to exploit oil in the South Seas, so the US government naturally did not allow Shell to engage in oil exploration in the United States, to see who would be more seriously injured. I think that old fox from Rockefeller would be happy to see Shell oil roll out of America. ”
Situ Nan explained.
"Oh. I see. Yao Hongmin nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself that he had stayed in Nanyang for too long, and he had become accustomed to looking at things from the perspective of the Zhi Gong Party, and subconsciously regarded the Western Petroleum Company as an asset of the Zhi Gong Party.
Thinking this way, of course, it is true, the source of funds of the US-China company is the share of the Occidental Petroleum Company. It's a bit like the Occidental Petroleum Company investing in the Zhi Gong Party, betting on the success of the Zhi Gong Party in the future.
Before the Minas oil field was exploited, Situ Nan had already joined forces with the Mellon family and the Rockefeller family, and on the issue of confronting the Dutch, the position of the three major oil families in the United States was absolutely united, which was enough to influence the United States to put pressure on the Dutch side.
Under the banner of an open door, it is the established policy of the United States to let the US economy penetrate into the world, and there is no doubt about this.
After Yao Hongmin went out, Situ Nan sent a report to Andrew, informing him of the Dutchman's movements.
Well, Andrew is ready to enter the political arena, almost put down the business at hand, and focuses more on enlisting political dignitaries, and is eager for an opportunity to show the influence of the future finance ministers of the three realms? Now it is unforgivable for the Dutch to want to hit the Minas oil field of the Gulf Oil Company.
Andrew was so angry that he told Stuart that he would arrange for the U.S. government to come out and pay the Dutch without Situ Nan's intervention.
After receiving an affirmative reply from Andrew, Stuart Nan went to Roosevelt and confided in the Undersecretary of the Navy about the Dutch "evil deeds."
Roosevelt realized that this was a good opportunity, an opportunity to prove himself once again, and he reassured him that the U.S. Navy was absolutely capable of protecting the interests of American companies.
With more and more cooperation with the William consortium, the Roosevelt family has grown much more financially, and they have tasted the sweetness of it. When Situ Nan leaked some wind and could absorb the Roosevelt family to join in Sumatra's oil development, the vice secretary of the navy was more motivated.
He told Sù that soon, the United States would send a fleet from Hawaii, including a battleship, to the Philippines to strengthen the U.S. Navy in Asia.
This made Situ Nan excited, although he knew that it was just a coincidence, and that it was unlikely that Roosevelt and the U.S. Navy would send a fleet for themselves to make a comeback. This may have been planned for a long time, and the United States has become more and more restless in order to compete for world hegemony, not only with the Netherlands, but also with Britain.
In the South Seas, Europe, Australia, Canada, and so on, Britain's traditional sphere of influence has been strongly challenged by the United States, and more and more American-made goods are driving out British goods, and American capital is also investing heavily in the British colonies.
Thinking of this, Situ Nan smiled and said, "Roosevelt's trick is probably for the British to see." It would be best to suppress the faded sea coachmen to show their own existence without excessively irritating the British. Who called this Dutchman to come between England and America? ”??????
When Situ Nan walked out of the room slowly, Yao Hongmin was already talking to Jian Zhaonan.
There was a problem with Nanyang Tobacco Company, and Jian Zhaonan urgently needed the help of Meihua Company, so he chased from Medan to Singapore, and learned that Yao Hongmin was here in Situ Nan, and Jian Zhaonan hurried to the William.
When Situ Nan came in, he heard a voice indignant: "British American Tobacco is really too hateful, and its methods are also despicable, not only do they send people to our tobacco factories in Chinese mainland to make trouble, but also hire the triad to destroy machines, expel workers, and sabotage our production." Having paid the price of blood, we broke their plot several times.
Unexpectedly, the British American Tobacco Company actually bribed the storekeeper of our company, spoiled the tobacco leaves, and also wantonly bought our cigarettes back, soaked them in water, and sent people to sell the spoiled cigarettes everywhere after they were broken, and now everyone thinks that our Nanyang Tobacco Company produces inferior cigarettes and deceives consumers. It's hard to argue with us. ”
Situ Nan listened at the door for a while, and generally understood what was going on, thinking that British American Tobacco's tricks were really ruthless, and they hit the key point of Nanyang Tobacco Company. If the signboard is rotten, it will be difficult to do business, and the company will face all kinds of problems.
Pushed open the door, walked over with a smile, took the initiative to hold Jian Zhaonan's hand and said, "Mr. Jian, Nanyang Tobacco Company is a signboard of our Chinese business, and we must not lose it." ”
"Hmm. I'm here today to ask for your help. Jian Zhaonan said directly. Situ Nan's attitude gave him a lot of confidence, and he knew the influence of Meihua in the Nanyang Chinese world. If the United States and China help, Nanyang Tobacco should be able to survive this crisis.
"It's easy to talk about helping. It's just that how do you want us to help you? Situ Nan looked at Jian Zhaonan with a smile, thinking that it would be good to have the opportunity to take Nanyang Tobacco Company into his pocket. Without a strong backing, the Jian Zhaonan brothers would not be able to stop British American Tobacco, after all, the two sides are not opponents of the same level.
Previously, the reason why Nanyang Tobacco Company was booming was mainly because after the Paris Peace Conference, the Chinese were disgusted with foreigners, advocated domestic products, opposed foreign goods, and became the mainstream of public opinion, which gave Nanyang Tobacco Company a good opportunity for development. In just a few months, sales have doubled, and the production of Pegasus brand cigarettes is in short supply.
At the same time, the shrewd Jian Zhaonan brothers took advantage of the rare opportunity to make an open offering to Chinese businessmen. Under the influence of patriotism, not only cigarette consumers, but even Chinese businessmen who saw the prosperity of Nanyang Tobacco Company have invested in Nanyang Tobacco Company, raising millions of funds for a time, Jian Zhaonan got sufficient funds, rapidly expanded the scale of the company in Chinese mainland and Nanyang, built several cigarette factories in a row, and also acquired tobacco leaf plantations in Nanyang, built tin film packaging factories, etc., and had a great momentum of soaring.
The rapid development of Nanyang Tobacco Company finally aroused the resentment of British American Tobacco, they did not expect that the former defeated general Jian Zhaonan would actually make a comeback and rob a lot of British American Tobacco's business. On the one hand, the Chinese advocate domestic products and no longer smoke foreign cigarettes, resulting in the slow sale of British American Tobacco Company's cigarettes, and on the other hand, the Nanyang cigarettes that have become prosperous, how can British American Tobacco not regard Nanyang Tobacco Company as a thorn in its side?
After several unsuccessful attempts, they finally came up with a ruthless killer weapon, buying the inner ghosts and destroying the production of the Nanyang Tobacco Company, while buying back the cigarettes of the Nanyang Tobacco Company, and after they deteriorated, they were sold for sale, which was really bad
After Jian Zhaonan complained, he was told by Situ Nan, "How can we help you?" "Stumped.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and Nanyang Tobacco itself owes a large amount of debt to the United States and China. The tobacco planting of Medan was monopolized by the Meihua Company, Jian Zhaonan had previously purchased a batch of tobacco leaves worth 2 million from the Meihua Company without paying, and he planned to return it to the Meihua Company after recovering the cost after expanding the scale, but he did not expect to be ruined by the poisonous plan of the British American Tobacco Company.
In the case of a large debt owed to Meihua, there is no collateral, and it is indeed difficult to get funds from Meihua.
"Now Nanyang Tobacco Company is very difficult, not only can it not repay the previous arrears?000 Rui Zhi hanging midges pouring the first type of Huai Burning Bandit! Ben Zhangxian Я Ship а Lai Feed? br/>
"How much?" Situ Nan said briskly.
“?????”
"In this way, you don't have to pay back the money owed to Meihua, we will invest in Nanyang Tobacco Company with our debt to Nanyang Tobacco Company, and at the same time inject 3 million yuan to restore the production of Fù Company, what do you think?" Situ Nan looked at Jian Zhaonan with confidence.
According to Situ Nan's approach, Meihua will become the largest shareholder of Nanyang Tobacco, surpassing the combined shares of Jane's brothers, and Nanyang Tobacco will become the holding company of Meihua.
It was a tough decision
Looking at Jian Zhaonan's embarrassed appearance, Situ Nan said again: "In addition to the dominance of national sentiment, Nanyang Tobacco Company is lagging behind British American Tobacco Company in all aspects?????? ”
Silent.
"Okay" Jian Zhaonan lost all his strength at once after saying this????????. 、
