Zhang Mansion

"Mom, I only realized today what a biting dog is to stop barking. Fu Chen, look, look!" Zhang Zuolin handed the confession record book in his hand to Zhang Zuoxiang, and kept sighing.

Zhang Zuoling and Zhang Zuolin are not family, nor are they brothers. It was just a coincidence of names that made Zhang Zuolin very happy, so he formed an allied brother.

During the battle, Zhang Zuoling had saved Zhang Zuolin alone in the rain of bullets. Therefore, the two formed a difficult situation, which was like brothers and sisters.

After carefully reading the confessions from the bandits under Du Lisan, he looked dumbfounded.

"Poison, beauty trick? Maxim heavy machine gun, more than one hundred well-trained soldiers, defeated three times the enemy's opponent. This insurance captain is not simple!"

"It's not simple, it's not simple!" Zhang Zuolin walked over and muttered, "Just with Du Lisan's head, he was more than enough to get himself a patrol battalion management team. But why did he give up?"

"Yu Ting, didn't he take our nine thousand oceans? Maybe he is a person who loves money."

Zhang Zuolin sneered: "Love money? I'm afraid it's not necessarily. An American arms dealer sent out a large batch of goods and returned to the United States with the money. I asked around and didn't hear anyone got a large batch of arms. Who would you tell me that this batch of goods was in hand?"

The smile on Zhang Zuoxiang's face froze, "Then isn't this person going to get in? How are you talking to him?"

Zhang Zuolin recalled the conversation that day and said for a long time: "The talk was very good. He probably likes to study foreign things and is more interested in Russian Russians and Japanese dwarfs."

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

Zhang Zuolin is now just a commander of the front patrol battalion. There are 7 of him at the same level as him, and there is also a new army of the mixed association stationed in Fengtian. His official position is really not very big.

The sky collapsed and there was a tall man holding him over, so it wasn't his turn to worry.

………

The establishment of China's first mechanism cigarette factory is inseparable from the famous Yuan Shikai.

After he served as the Governor of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang, he formulated a new policy strategy for "revitalizing business, government and expanding industry", established the Beiyang Agricultural Bureau, and took the manufacturing of cigarettes as the work direction, and conducted trial production at the Baoding Agricultural Bureau test site.

It happened that Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu came to Baoding, and Yuan Shikai presented the test products of the cigarettes to the royal family. As a result, they received a good review and were awarded the Silver Medal of Two Dragons.

Beiyang Tobacco Company was officially established in 2003. Because it was "given by favor" during the trial period, the cigarette was named "Dragon Ball" brand.

The cigarette box that Yuan Pengfei is holding now is a white hard box with a golden patterned edge, a five-clawed dragon that is flying up, and a jewel is spitting out a bead, which looks very high-end.

The taste of smoking is comparable to other cigarettes from the same era, and of course it is incomparable to later generations.

The reason why Yuan Pengfei is targeting the tobacco industry is still to talk about the old cigarette guns in his dormitory.

It was like a pack of cigarettes per person a day. It was okay to open the windows in summer, but the windows were closed in winter. Every night, the dormitory was like ascending to the immortals, with smoke scattering around the clouds and foggy...

It’s not that Yuan Pengfei hadn’t persuaded them, but when these people got addicted to cigarettes, they didn’t care about anything and took out the cigarette and smoked it.

There is also a set of fallacies. Tobacco is subject to heavy taxation by the state. Every time they smoke a box of cigarettes, they pay taxes to the state and contribute to the state.

Yuan Pengfei was curious and even went to investigate. In 2017, the Tobacco Corporation achieved a total profit and tax of more than 110 billion yuan, which was equivalent to the total profit of BAT ICBC, CCB, Agricultural Bank of China, and the total profit of that year, which was simply awesome.

But such a profitable transaction must of course be monopolized by the state, and you can only do it for the private sector.

But at this period, there were not so many statements. Fengtian had a private cigarette shop that had been running for several years, so it was nothing wrong for him to go in and fuck him.

In fact, there are more money-making - opium. The Qing Dynasty has more customers who smoked cigarettes, and the profits are higher than those of tobacco.

Later, after some major warlords of the Republic of China plundered the land, they relied on selling opium to get military pay, and they even made it very rich. The four major families also relied on this to make money, and the money used by someone to buy warlords was also indispensable for the contribution of opium to the opium.

However, this harmful thing will cause physical and mental dependence. Once it is stopped, a series of serious reactions will occur, making people feel very painful and making the smoker unable to live without it all day long.

What's more serious is that smoking big smoke will harm the human body's mechanism, inhibiting the generation of some important things in the body, and then forming a certain strange balance.

Once the use is stopped, you will experience anxiety, anxiety, cold and hot, goose bumps, tears, runny nose, sweating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.

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

Yuan Pengfei hates this kind of thing deeply, how could he touch it?

It means setting up a cigarette factory and setting up a national brand of cigarettes to drive foreign goods out of the market, which can make money and satisfy patriotism. Why not do it!

Fengtian, after several months, Yuan Pengfei met Yao Tianxiong again, whom he asked for, and said politely: "Mr. Yao, I've been waiting for a long time."

"You are welcome, Lord Yuan, but this time I have to call you Boss Yuan. A machine that can produce 300,000 cigarettes a day, American goods, look!" Yao Tianxiong made a gesture of invitation, and his words were a little more respectful.

Yuan Pengfei is planning to bring him to do this business together. He invests some money to be a small shareholder and also serves as a general manager to manage a large cigarette factory.

When facing major shareholders, you have to be more respectful, right?

Yuan Tengfei was not polite to him, and Han signaled that he would step into this wide factory area first.

Yao Tianxiong introduced as he walked: "Boss Yuan, as you told me, we first set up a factory building, leaving enough reserved venues next to it, and it is possible to expand it at any time. It is enough for the company to double the scale."

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

He continued: "Our factory purchases all American machines, with 300,000 cigarettes per day, which is only half the difference between Beiyang Cigarettes.

Of course, we are better than them in the beginning. At the beginning, Dragon Ball cigarettes only cost 200,000 per day. I believe it is only a matter of time before they can tie them."

This is not only Yao Tianxiong, but also Yuan Pengfei. Both of them know what the virtues of an official enterprise are.

Not to mention anything else, the most important cost is that so many people in Beiyang Tobacco Company have to deal with it, and the cost is naturally one quarter higher than theirs.

When the market competition is not fierce, everyone can make a living, it is nothing more than how much money it makes. But when the market competition is fierce, there is no doubt who falls first.

"By the way, have our cigarettes been named?"

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

Although he was very respectful to Yuan Pengfei because of business issues, he still felt that he was a rough man and had some tricks to lead troops in battle. However, when it comes to name a name, he could only laugh.

Maybe he had to take out the spare names for this big boss to choose from?

Yuan Pengfei did not notice his little thoughts, but was thinking about the famous names, Nanjing Jiuwu Master, Yellow Crane Tower, Cordyceps sinensis...

"How about Hardmen?"

"Hadmen?" Yao Tianxiong was stunned at first, and then said with great excitement: "It's amazing! Lucky, wealth, the boss's name is amazing!"

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

Hademen is Chongwenmen, because it is a special passage for transporting wine into the imperial city, it is called the wine gate, also known as the wine road.

This door is called the "Gate of Luck" because it is a must-pass for talented men to take the exam. It is also called the "Gate of Wealth" because the Tax Department was established here during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is also called the "Gate of Wealth". It is one of the famous families among the nine gates of Kyoto.

Tobacco and alcohol are not divided, and wealth and luck are the meaning of cigarette brands, which have a more meaningful garment and are also an extraordinary gimmick when selling, which is an excellent auxiliary to their business.

Yuan Pengfei didn't think so much, but this name suddenly popped up in his mind. I remember that there seemed to be such a cigarette in many spy movies, and in reality he was actually smoking it.

"By the way, when Lao Yao was advertising on the newspaper, I remember to add this sentence: Everyone will beat the Hard Gate, but everyone will beat the Hard Gate."

Yao Tianxiong's eyes became brighter.

PS: The monthly ticket is counted at the end of the month. You are all very good at math. I won’t give me the chance to take advantage of it. I remember the monthly tickets.
