Chapter 29 Media Layout
Fang Lang's words made the family members both happy and shocked, and the first to react was Fang Lang's uncle Yang Zong, who hurriedly said: "Lang'er, 400,000 US dollars of cigarettes, and the inventory of several cigarette factories in São Paulo will be swept away by you!" Since you can digest so many cigarettes, I don't know if the sales volume can be stable in the future, if you can ensure that there are stable sales channels, I suggest that you do not directly clear their inventory, you can merge our three factories in the form of buying factories at a package price, and the expansion you want is not in place in one step? ”
When Fang Lang heard this, he also felt very reasonable: "Then I don't know if my uncle can help me come forward to operate this matter, because I have some other things to be busy these days, and I will definitely entrust you to manage the factory at that time, and you must know the specific price better than me, and it will definitely be better than me for you to talk about it." ”
"That's not good, I can't go alone, I'm your uncle, yes, but there is a factory of my own, how can I do it all! If you don't have time yourself, let's take a look and ask your dad to come forward, and I'll help him with the staff, can't you? Yang Zong still thought in his heart that although he was an uncle, it would be no problem to help his nephew, but it would be all operated by himself, and it would not be good for others to gossip at that time.
Fang Lang glanced at his uncle, then at his father on the side, and said, "Then since your uncle said so, do you have time to deal with it, father?" ”
In fact, Fang Lang could already see his intentions from his father's somewhat eager expression, but after all, it was his father, so he must hand over a ladder for his father to pick up! Do you want your father to take the initiative to speak? At that time, others will think that the father wants to seize his own power!
"If you have other things to do, go ahead! I can still help you with this little thing! In the past two days, I have been going with your uncle to run about this cigarette factory. Father said with a casual expression.
But Fang Lang believes that his father should still be a little happy and excited at this moment, after all, he has 400,000 US dollars in his hand to spend, and the opportunity to buy a factory has never been experienced in his life! However, my father still looks at the problem in the long term, and has his own ideas, only to see him speak:
"What are you going to do with the factory after the acquisition? I heard what you just meant that it seems that you have some ideas about the manufacturing process of cigarettes, is it the latest technology of the Americans now? ”
It turned out that Fang Lang had always felt that his father was an old man who didn't know how to be flexible, but after coming back today, through today's exchange, Fang Lang found out that the original body had any misunderstanding and prejudice against his father, and Fang Lang didn't see where his father was conservative and feudal at all! So much so that I found a lot of good qualities in him.
"Dad, what you said is right, the Americans are now making cigarettes, in addition to the early stage of tobacco smoke, fermented in a constant temperature and humidity environment for three years, but also before shredding and flavoring, the addition of ingredients is mainly by adding sugar, white vinegar, liquor for drying, after drying will be flavored again, as for what spices are added to the fragrance, we need to experiment ourselves. After the fragrance is completed, it will be added again, generally adding wine, honey, sugar, etc. for re-damp treatment, and then let the tobacco quickly re-roast in the hot air of high temperature and high pressure of about 200 degrees, and then start rolling. The cigarette that comes out in this way will have both a sweet taste and its own unique aroma. Later, when we developed the filter, we were worried that our cigarettes would not be able to open the market. ”
Hearing Fang Lang's introduction, the family thought that Fang Lang got the latest cigarette manufacturing process from the United States, but they didn't know that these were brushed by Fang Lang in the videos of later generations, whether they were suitable or the effect of making them still needs to be confirmed. But if the experiment is successful, Fang Lang is confident that his cigarettes will open up the market in the world, especially the emergence of filters, which is worth a special mention.
Everyone is also confident that Fang Lang is willful. Only Uncle Fang Xinshui held his mouth on the side and said: "What's so good about these cigarettes, we are all selling hemp leaves now, and they are much more enjoyable than your cigarettes." ”
When Fang Lang heard his uncle's words, he was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't smoke it yourself!" It's a drug, and it's very addictive. ”
"Haha.... Don't worry, uncles have been taught by your grandfather since they were children, and they know how powerful these things are like opium, how could they touch these things! Isn't that what other people like! We are also a middleman, otherwise the gang will have no source of income and will be doomed! Fang Xinshui raised his hand and waved it, saying with a disgusted expression.
"It's good if you don't, in the future, the rules of the gang should be clear, if the gang appears to take addictive drugs, they will be forced to detoxify. If there is another time, I will be forced to detoxify after beheading. There is no need for this person if there is a third time. Fang Lang said cruel words with a fierce face, which made the family tremble, they couldn't imagine that Fang Lang would be so ruthless.
Uncle Fang Xinshui frowned slightly and said, "Lang'er, won't this be too ruthless!" We are all brothers. ”
Before Uncle could finish speaking, Fang Lang had already interrupted: "Uncle, we are going to do big things, you have to understand that your heart is not ruthless and you can't stand steady." The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, and righteousness is not wealthy. And we do this for the good of our brethren! Once this kind of thing is touched, it will become without any bottom line, and wives and families will be separated and families will be ruined. Can you bear to let your brother end up like this? Say, not to mention the family, but to say that if it is known to our adversaries that there are such addicts among our people, then with a little means, we will have no secrets from the enemy. When the time comes, will you be willing to take on this responsibility for the other brothers? ”
Fang Xinshui listened to Fang Lang's words for a long time and didn't say anything, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he sighed and said: "Our original brothers all came together by righteousness, no wonder we have always been just a small gang, I have always felt that the reason why our Chinese population is not enough, but what Lang'er told me today made me have to re-examine myself." Lang'er, don't worry, uncle won't hold you back, I'll go back now to gather all the brothers, set our rules, and in the future, we will also learn like Hongmen, if there is anyone who is unwilling to participate, let him leave early! Don't turn your brothers against each other when the time comes. I'll go first, and I'll come back tomorrow night. ”
After saying that, he got up and left without looking back.
Uncle Yang Zong also stood up and said, "I'll go back first, tomorrow morning my brother-in-law will remember to come to me, and we'll go together to run all the cigarette factories." After saying that, he waved his hand and left.
After all the relatives in the family left, his younger brother Fang Tao secretly ran to Fang Lang's side and said, "Brother, is it true that you said that you want to buy a newspaper?" ”
Fang Lang looked at his younger brother's expectant and apprehensive eyes and couldn't help but smile and said, "What a stinky boy, you want to be the boss of a newspaper at such a young age!" ”
"Hey..... Didn't you tell me that you wanted to buy a newspaper? Fang Tao was a little embarrassed by his brother, after all, he was only a college student who had not yet graduated, and he was definitely not capable of managing a newspaper, but since his brother really wanted to set up a newspaper, he would not have to go out to find a job in the future, and what his brother said today really made him very excited, and he was a little enthusiastic and wanted to help his brother.
"If you really want to be this boss, it's not impossible, but first you have to learn to think independently, learn to have your own judgment, if you have always been the same as others, I will report to you, and you will soon lose. In addition, if I run a newspaper, it will definitely be our mouthpiece, and if it involves our Chinese affairs, I will definitely choose to stand on our side! If you only think about what news you want to keep true, you don't have to think about continuing to do it, you can't do it for long. Except for matters involving ourselves, my request is to be impartial and only publicize the facts, but I cannot take a clear side, especially when it comes to some sensitive political topics, and there must be no guiding reports. To achieve a limited degree of fairness, justice, and openness. Fang Lang educated his younger brother with a serious face, and said his requirements for the newspaper.
