Zhang's house

"Damn, I just found out today what a biting dog doesn't bark at. Fu Chen, look, look! Zhang Zuolin handed the confession record book in his hand to Zhang Zuoxiang's hand, and kept sighing.

Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zuolin are not a family, let alone brothers, but the name is a coincidence by chance, which makes Zhang Zuolin very happy, so they form an alliance of brothers.

In the battle, Zhang Zuoxiang once rescued Zhang Zuolin from the encirclement in the rain of bullets. Therefore, the two of them formed a relationship of affliction and became like brothers.

He carefully read the confessions of these bandits under Du Lisan, and he was also dumbfounded.

"Poisoned, beauty? With a heavy machine gun and more than a hundred well-trained soldiers, he defeated an opponent three times the enemy, and this insurance captain is not simple! ”

"It's not easy, it's not easy!" Zhang Zuolin walked over and muttered, "With Du Lisan's head, it is more than enough for him to get a patrol camp management belt for himself." But why did he give up? ”

"Yuting, didn't he take our nine thousand oceans, maybe he loves money."

Zhang Zuolin sneered: "Love money? I'm afraid not. An American arms dealer sent a large amount of goods and went straight back to the United States with the money. And I inquired, I didn't hear who got a large batch of munitions, tell me who this batch of goods went to? ”

The smile on Zhang Zuoxiang's face froze, "Then doesn't this person get oil and salt?" How did you talk to him? ”

Zhang Zuolin recalled the conversation that day, and said for a long time: "The conversation is good, he probably likes to study foreign things, and is more interested in both the Russian old Maozi and the Japanese dwarf. ”

"That's okay, if there is no big conflict of interest, it's better to have a good relationship with him first. If you really have a headache, leave it to the Governor above! Zhang Zuoxiang shrugged and said helplessly.

Zhang Zuolin is now only the commander of the front road patrol battalion, and there are 7 others at the same level as him, and there is also a new army of the mixed association also stationed in Fengtian, and he is really not a big official.

The sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top of it, and it is not his turn to be in a hurry.

………

The establishment of the first machine-made cigarette factory in China is inseparable from the famous Yuan Shikai.

After he served as the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, he formulated a new policy strategy of "revitalizing business and expanding industry", established the Beiyang Agricultural Bureau, took the manufacture of cigarettes as the direction of work, and carried out trial production in the experimental field of the Baoding Agricultural Bureau.

It happened that the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu came to Baoding, and Yuan Shikai presented the trial product of cigarettes to the imperial use, which was well received and won the silver medal of Ssangyong.

In 03, Beiyang Tobacco Company was formally established, and the cigarettes were named "Dragon Ball" brand due to the "favored medal" during the trial period.

The box of cigarettes that Yuan Pengfei is holding now in his hand is a white hard box paper with a golden pattern edge, a five-clawed flying dragon that soars, and a treasure bead in his mouth, which looks very high-end.

The taste of the smoke is comparable to other cigarettes of the same era, and of course it cannot be compared with the cigarettes of later generations.

The reason why Yuan Pengfei is eyeing the tobacco industry is to talk about the old smoking guns in his dormitory.

It's like a box of cigarettes a day, it's okay to open the windows in the summer, but the windows are closed in the winter, and every night in the dormitory is like ascending to the immortals, and the smoke is shrouded in clouds and fog...

Yuan Pengfei didn't persuade them, but these people were addicted to smoking, so they didn't care about anything, they took out their cigarettes and smoked.

People also have a set of crooked theories, tobacco is heavily taxed by the state, and every time they smoke a box of cigarettes, they are paying taxes to the country and contributing to the country.

Yuan Pengfei was aroused by curiosity, and he also went to check that in 17 years, the total profits and taxes of the tobacco company were more than 1.1 trillion yuan, which is equivalent to the total profit of BAT + ICBC + CCB + Agricultural Bank of China that year, which is simply a dick.

But such a lucrative business, of course, has to be monopolized by the state, and you can only do what you are greedy for.

But in this period, there is not so much to say, Fengtian has long had a private cigarette workshop, which has been open for several years, and there is nothing wrong with him going in and intervening.

In fact, there is more profitable - tobacco soil. There are more customers who smoke big cigarettes up and down in the Qing Dynasty, and the profits are not many times higher than those of tobacco.

Later, some big warlords of the Republic of China, after scavenging the land, relied on selling tobacco and soil to get military salaries, and they actually got very rich. The four major families also relied on this to make money, and the money used by someone to buy a warlord was also indispensable to the credit of tobacco and soil.

But this harmful thing will make people physically dependent, mentally dependent, once stopped, there will be a series of serious reactions, making people feel very painful, so that the smoker can not leave all day long.

What's more, smoking smoke can harm the body's mechanism, inhibit the production of some important things in the body, and then form a peculiar balance.

Once discontinued, symptoms such as restlessness, anxiety, hot and cold, goosebumps, watery eyes, runny nose, sweating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea will occur.

It can be said that when a person becomes addicted to smoking, the person is basically wasted, and his life has entered the countdown.

For this kind of thing, Yuan Pengfei hated it deeply, how could he touch it!

On the contrary, it is said that setting up a cigarette factory and getting a national brand of cigarettes to drive foreign goods out of the market can not only make money but also satisfy patriotic feelings, so why not do it!

Fengtian, after a few months, Yuan Pengfei saw Yao Tianxiong again, who he had requested, and said politely: "Mr. Yao, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"You're welcome, Lord Yuan, but this time I have to call you Boss Yuan. A machine capable of producing 300,000 cigarettes per day, American products, you see! Yao Tianxiong made a gesture of please, and his words were a little more respectful.

In this business, Yuan Pengfei is ready to take him with him, he invests some money to be a small shareholder, and at the same time is a general manager to manage the Nuoda cigarette factory.

You have to be respectful when facing major shareholders, don't you?

Yuan Tengfei didn't say anything polite to him, and took the lead in entering this wide factory area.

Yao Tianxiong introduced as he walked: "Boss Yuan, according to your instructions, we first set up a factory, and left enough reserved space next to it, which can be expanded at any time, and the company is enough to expand twice the scale." ”

The machines in the factory are working, more than 100 employees are busy, and Yao Tianxiong and Yuan Pengfei are standing at the door watching.

He continued: "Our factory purchases all American machines, and produces 300,000 cigarettes per day, which is only half of that of Beiyang Cigarettes.

Of course, we were better than them in terms of starting out, and the Dragon Ball brand cigarettes started with only 200,000 cigarettes a day, and I believe it was only a matter of time before we caught up with them. ”

This, not only Yao Tianxiong is confident, but Yuan Pengfei is also confident. What kind of virtue is a government-run enterprise, both of them know.

Not to mention anything else, the most important cost aspect, Beiyang Tobacco Company has so many people on it, and the cost is naturally higher than theirs.

When the market competition is not fierce, everyone can beg for food, which is nothing more than a question of how much money to make. But when the market is competitive, there is no doubt who will fall first.

"By the way, did we name our cigarettes?"

"No, if you don't name the big boss, how dare the rest of us!" Yao Tianxiong said with a smile.

Although he is very respectful to Yuan Pengfei because of business problems, he still stereotypedly thinks that this is a big old man, who has two hands to lead soldiers to fight with knives and guns, but when it comes to names, he can only hehe.

Perhaps, he will have to take out a few spare names for the big boss to choose?

Yuan Pengfei didn't notice his careful thoughts, but searched his stomach and thought about those famous names, Nanjing Ninety-Five Honor, Yellow Crane Tower, Cordyceps sinensis.........

"How's Hardgate?"

"Hardgate?" Yao Tianxiong was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Wonderful! Luck, wealth, the name of the boss is absolutely amazing! ”

He really didn't expect Yuan Pengfei to be able to say such a meaningful name.

Hade Gate is Chongwen Gate, because it is a special passage to transport wine to the imperial city, it is called the Wine Gate, also known as the Wine Road.

This gate is known as the "Gate of Luck" because it is the gate that talented people must pass through to take the exam, and because of the establishment of the tax department here during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is also known as the "Gate of Wealth", and it is one of the famous doors among the nine gates in Kyoto.

Tobacco and alcohol are not separated, and the meaning of wealth and luck has put a more meaningful coat on the brand of cigarettes, and there are unusual gimmicks when selling, which is an excellent supplement for their business.

Yuan Pengfei didn't think about it that much, he just suddenly popped up the name in his mind. I remember that there seems to be such a cigarette in many spy war movies, and in reality he really smokes it.

"By the way, when Lao Yao Deng Bao advertised, remember to add such a sentence: No one smokes Hademen, everyone smokes Hademen."

Yao Tianxiong's eyes brightened.
