super god warlord

Once the emperor and the courtiers, with the death of the emperor and empress, the purge of officials in the court became increasingly fierce, and the entire imperial capital was completely in political turmoil.In the market of Guanghai City, the same turmoil is also happening, but this time it is not a political turmoil, but an economic turmoil.

As the production capacity of various light industrial factories in Zhongchuan is getting higher and higher, and the range of products is becoming wider and wider. After Zhao Shouhong established the Luchaogang Industrial Zone based on Jiangnan Shipyard and Jiangnan Manufacturing General Bureau, these products entered Guanghai in large quantities. market.

Zhongchuan's products are of high quality and low price, and the convenient Longjiang transportation has reduced the freight. Its sales in Guanghai continue to rise.As the traditional sphere of influence of the Saar Kingdom, the dumping of Saar Kingdom's products to the middle and lower reaches of the Longjiang River has always been a profit point of the Saar Empire, but now this profit point has been greatly challenged.

With a full range of Zhongchuan commodities, relying on the Luchaogang Industrial Zone as a base, it spreads to the surrounding areas, challenging the market share of foreign goods from all aspects.The decline in profits will naturally be counterattacked by the Saar people, and the commercial war has become inevitable, and the tobacco industry, which bears the brunt of the most lucrative profits.

In fact, the dispute between domestic products and foreign products has been going on for a long time, and the commercial war of tobacco is the same.As early as [-], Sal and Baiying tobacco merchants set up the "Sabai Tobacco Company Guanghai Branch" in Pudong, Guanghai City, and dumped cigarettes to various regions in Hualan.Overseas Chinese brothers Jian Zhaonan and Jian Yujie believed that foreign products were flooded and domestic products were sluggish.If things go on like this, the future of the country is unimaginable, so he is determined to start a business to save the country.

After some investigation, the brothers rented an old warehouse on Russell Street in Hong Kong as a factory site, and established "Guangdong Nanyang Tobacco Company" in Hong Kong in [-] to compete with "Sabai Tobacco Company".The first product launched by Nanyang Company was "White Crane" cigarettes. At that time, due to the incident of abuse of Chinese workers by the White Eagle government, anti-White Eagle waves swept across China, and "White Crane" took this opportunity to launch in one fell swoop.

Subsequently, Nanyang Company launched "Pegasus" and "Double Happiness" brand cigarettes to seize the market with Sal and White Eagle.Saar and White Eagle Company were terrified, and they banned Nanyang Company's cigarettes from being sold in the market on the grounds that the packaging of Nanyang Company's cigarettes imitated the two companies, thus constituting a counterfeit infringement.

Nanyang Company was forced to suspend production in [-] due to large losses in the competition.The Jane brothers were not intimidated by the strength of the two companies. In [-], the Jane brothers raised [-] yuan to make a comeback and established the "Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company".

Just when the Jane Brothers' tobacco company temporarily withdrew from the coastal market, the 'Emei' and 'Golden Monkey' brand cigarettes produced by Zhongchuan Cigarette Factory appeared on the market in Guanghai.In this era, among the major cities in the post-Jin Kingdom, there was a special occupation called cigarette seller.After machine-made cigarettes were imported into Jinguo, due to their standard specifications, cheap price and convenient smoking, they were welcomed by the masses at the bottom.

Cigarettes at that time were mostly foreign cigarettes. For example, a box of [-] Daqianmen cigarettes sold for three copper dollars, and a box of ten Sanpaotai cigarettes, which was a mid-range product, also sold for three copper dollars.The poor have little money in their pockets and cannot afford a whole pack of cigarettes, but after working hard, they hope to take a puff of cigarettes to relieve fatigue.

It is precisely because of this demand that cigarette sellers came into being. Most of them set up a stall and put a incense stick on the table to light it all day long.Poor people like to find such a small cigarette stand after work, buy two cigarettes, and light them on the incense sticks.You can get fireworks without much money, and save money on matches, so this kind of business is very popular.

In addition to selling loose cigarettes, the cigarette stalls also sell whole boxes, as well as red matches.This kind of match is very cheap, but if it is scratched on any hard object, it is an unsafe match that is banned worldwide. This kind of match is only used in poor and backward countries like Hualan.

Soon, there were two new types of cigarettes on the vaping stand, namely the 'Emei' brand and the 'Golden Monkey' brand produced by Zhongchuan.The packaging of these two cigarettes is beautifully printed and very eye-catching, and soon people began to try this new cigarette.

Some people who dared to try bought two new cigarettes when they saw them. They soon discovered that the shredded tobacco materials of these two cigarettes are very exquisite, and even the wrapping paper is made of high-quality rice paper. good.

Chapter 222 Winning over Jin Rong

Because the mechanical cigarette rolling machine driven by the motor is used, these cigarettes are of the same length, the shredded tobacco is not loose or tight, and the cutting is quite neat.These two kinds of cigarettes all use [-] soft-packed cigarettes, but the price is only comparable to the lowest-end Daqianmen, so they are quickly praised by the majority of smokers.

The sales methods of these two types of cigarettes are not limited to this. Qin Zhongyi adopted the strategy of bundling sales. As long as he buys any box of these two types of cigarettes, he can buy a box of safety matches that are also produced in Zhongchuan at the price of one copper dollar. The price is even cheaper than the red-headed unsafe matches.

Because advanced electric machinery is used to produce cigarettes semi-automatically, it not only reduces the amount of tobacco used by a quarter, but also greatly increases the speed of cigarettes, and its cost becomes extremely low. Even if you buy the cheapest price, it is also Profitable.

Safety matches are also not bad, because more advanced technology is used, the cost of the matches produced by Zhongchuan is half that of the safety matches that have just been promoted in the Western Continent. Even if they are bundled for a copper dollar, they are only at cost.People who buy cigarettes are greedy for cheap, so they will buy a box of matches to try out. This kind of safe matches has no pungent smell of the previous matches, and it is not easy to cause fires, so it was quickly sought after by the public.

The price of safety matches that are not bundled with cigarettes is two copper dollars per box, which is basically the same as the price of those red-headed matches in the past.With such an obvious discount, its sales began to rise steadily, and the monthly sales of the two types of cigarettes quickly exceeded [-] sticks.

The hot sales of 'Emei' and 'Golden Monkey' have caused a sharp drop in the profits of Sabai Tobacco Company. Sales continued to drop, and the angry Saar people were very dissatisfied.

Seeing that Hualan's cigarettes once again occupied the market share, they used the trick they used to deal with the Jian Brothers before, and sold all cigarettes at half price at a loss, thereby attacking these two Zhongchuan cigarettes.Qin Zhongyi sits in Guanghai, and after these days of experience, his methods have become much sharper.He was not polite about selling Saar people at a loss, and directly vacated a large number of warehouses to buy these Saar cigarettes in large quantities.

Although the Sar people planned to occupy the market at a low price, Qin Zhongyi relied on Zhao Shouhong's large financial support and the sufficient warehouses in Luchao Port to make these types of cigarettes very expensive in the area around Gwanghae.Of course, Qin Zhongyi will not lose money, he directly repackages these low-priced cigarettes, and sells them as his own cigarettes. In this way, the Saar people are fighting for money, but Qin Zhongyi is still making a profit.

The Saar people couldn't stand it anymore, and they immediately asked the Saar country consulate for help.Upon receiving this news, the Consulate of Saer Kingdom immediately sent a note to Guang Haidao, asking him to stop the people of Houjin from doing this.

Regarding the unreasonable demands of the Sar people, Guang Haidao Cai Naihuang was angry, but he was also angry with Qin Zhongyi, thinking that he should not provoke the Sar people.He naturally didn't dare to refute the consul of Sa'er, so he had no choice but to agree to those unreasonable demands.

Cai Naihuang, who was upset in his heart, decided to come to the door in person to reprimand Qin Zhongyi who dared to provoke foreigners.Before revealing Cai Naihuang, Qin Zhongyi was entertaining some important people.

"You are all seniors of the Green Gang. In the future, Qin hopes to teach you more." Qin Zhongyi saluted a group of people politely.

"Don't dare, Boss Qin is being polite." Everyone sitting here includes Bu Zhangwu, Wu Shengsan, Gao Shikui, Rong Huating, Zhang Weiqi, Li Chunli, Fan Jincheng, Liang Shaotang, Liu Dengjie, Zhang Shusheng, Zhao Decheng, Cao Youshan and others. A senior member of the Guanghai Qing Gang, he can be described as a real power figure.

The Green Gang was originally just a small gang of Gwanghae. As Gwanghae's status in the Asian financial center became more and more prominent, the economy of the surrounding areas continued to prosper.With the rise of the locality, the Green Gang is also growing stronger. Now they are the leaders of the underground forces in Guanghai City. Qin Zhongyi naturally intends to have a relationship with them.

Qin Zhongyi is wealthy and powerful, he holds the Luchaogang Industrial Zone in his hand, and has an official background like Zhao Shouhong behind him, so the Green Gang is naturally unwilling to offend.Therefore, Qin Zhongyi gave the other side enough face, and the leaders of the Qing Gang were also polite, but they were only polite on the surface, and it was not of much use in reality.

After sending off the big brothers, Qin Zhongyi sneered and said to the guards beside him, "Go and ask Huang Jinrong to come in."

Soon, the smiling Jin Rong was brought in. This future boss of the Youth Gang was just a small inquisitor.Seeing Qin Zhongyi, he quickly bowed and said, "Boss Qin, are you looking for me?"

Qin Zhongyi smiled and said: "Mr. Huang, please sit down. I came to you this time in the hope that I can help you." Zhao Shouhong once specifically instructed this humble Jinrong.It's just that Qin Zhongyi still didn't understand how a dignified learning envoy would pay attention to such a small person.

"Boss Qin, you're being polite. I'll just stand up." Huang Jinrong's status is not high now, so he dare not sit down beside such a big boss.

Qin Zhongyi said: "I know you have a flexible mind and think you are a talent to be made, so I plan to help you join the Youth Gang and build a side of power?"

"What?" Huang Jinrong was a little dazed. Although he belongs to the Youth Gang, he has no seniority and is at best a peripheral member.And since he became an inquirer in the patrol room, he has only collected some habitual thieves and habitual thieves to inquire about information for himself.He didn't understand why a big boss valued himself so much.

Qin Zhongyi said with a smile: "Nowadays, the people in the Green Gang are too brainy to offend foreigners at all. Look at those seniors who have just left, do they still have the backbone of a Chinese? So I plan to cultivate you and build up a force for us. company services."

"Really? That's great." Huang Jinrong's eyes lit up. With the support of a big boss with such an official background, he could save 30 years of struggle. How could he not want such a pie in the sky. "Huang will be driven by Boss Qin from now on."

Qin Zhongyi nodded in satisfaction: "That's good. I've already bought Shen Gan, the leader of the Qing Gang. You can be regarded as a senior if you worship him. Having such an identity is convenient for you to expand your strength. All the coolies belong to you, and I will also provide you with financial support to help you integrate various forces in Gwanghae."

"What does Boss Qin want Huang to do?" Huang Jinrong knew very well that the other party must have planned to support him so fully, so he had to ask clearly.

Chapter 223 A Disrespectful Question

Qin Zhongyi nodded in satisfaction: "I naturally hope that you can gradually control the entire Green Gang and integrate the underground forces in Guanghai City and nearby areas as my favorable backup."

Huang Jinrong nodded: "Huang will live up to Boss Qin's entrustment." Qin Zhongyi felt very satisfied, and after talking to the other party a few more words, he sent someone to send him away.

Qin Zhongyi was about to go to Luchao Port, but someone told Gwanghae Daotai that Cai Naihuang had arrived in person.Qin Zhongyi was a little surprised by this court official's personal visit, and he seemed to have little friendship with this person.But now that he is an official, naturally he cannot be turned away, so Qin Zhongyi had no choice but to have someone invite him in.

"Boss Qin is busy with personnel, it's really not easy to find you." Cai Naihuang's words were tinged with thorns, which made Qin Zhongyi dissatisfied.

"My lord, you are serious. All my properties are located in Luchao Port, so they will naturally stay away from Guanghai County." Qin Zhongyi's words were not polite.

"It's true that you are far away from the county, but you have really long hands. The consuls of Sa'er Kingdom have found my yamen, saying that you used illegal means to attack Sa'er merchants and affected free trade." Cai Naihuang sneered.

Qin Zhongyi looked at Cai Naihuang, he had some opinions on this Gwanghae Daotai who showed no affection at all.The owner has a deeper official background, Qin Zhongyi is naturally not afraid of the intimidation of this little Taoist, he immediately said: "The Daotai's words are a bit exaggerated, Qin has always been law-abiding, I don't know what illegal means he used this time? "

"The Saer people have already sued me, saying that you changed the packaging of the Saer people's cigarettes and sold them for profit." Cai Naihuang said angrily. All the officials have come forward, and he has to do so. "Also, recently many foreign merchants have reported that your goods are sold at a low price, which has affected their product sales."

"It's a joke. I buy Saar's cigarettes and sell them again? I have a cigarette factory at home. Why do I want to resell Saar's cigarettes and do such thankless things?" Qin Zhongyi said: "In fact, the Saar people sell at a loss. Recklessly suppressing the price of cigarettes. The cigarettes shipped from other places are cheaper than the cost price of my local production. This is already a violation of free trade rules. How can it be said that I have used illegal means? As for other commodities, I have not discounted This sale does not violate the principles of trade, nor does it violate the laws of the country. I don’t know why the Daotai Lord came to question this time?”

Qin Zhongyi's words were so loud that Cai Naihuang couldn't find any reason to refute what he said, so he immediately shouted: "Anyway, you can't offend foreigners."

Qin Zhongyi sneered and said, "So what about foreigners? My Master Zhao started his career by beating foreigners. Don't Cai Daotai know?" Cai Naihuang was too anxious, forgetting that behind Qin Zhongyi, there was an official background like Zhao Shouhong.He was stunned for a moment, then angrily said: "If foreigners lose their temper, even Zhao Shouhong can't protect you."

"I'm really surprised, Cai Daotai keeps talking for foreigners, I really don't know whether you are an official of foreigners or the imperial court." Qin Zhongyi said very bluntly.

"You..." Cai Naihuang was so angry that he couldn't speak, but Qin Zhongyi was unreasonable: "Among the industries under my banner, Jiangnan Shipyard and Jiangnan Manufacturing General Bureau are the empress dowager's gratitude to my family for their contribution to the country's construction of railways. The other industries have also received strong support from the Empress Dowager, and they are regarded as the pillars of the country's economy. Now Mr. Cai is relying on the strength of foreigners, and he is rude and making trouble here, which is really chilling." Qin Zhongyi said very bluntly.The meaning of his words is also easy to understand. If Cai Naihuang continues to make trouble for no reason, he will report to Zhao Shouhong, and I am afraid he will be impeached by then.

The reason why Qin Zhongyi dared to say this was naturally because the Zhao family had a huge influence in the court, which was beyond the reach of a small official like Cai Naihuang.Cai Naihuang also knows how powerful he is. Although foreigners are fierce, they are easy to fool. Once Zhao Shouhong tells him that he has connections with foreign countries and makes the court dissatisfied with him, this official will do his best.

Seeing that Qin Zhongyi refused to give in at all, Cai Naihuang said angrily: "You wait, I won't let it go." Then he waved his sleeves and left.Qin Zhongyi didn't care about this kind of scene. He knew that although Cai Naihuang said this, it was mostly for the sake of face, but he naturally had to communicate with the higher-ups about this matter first, so that Zhao Shouhong would not be caught off guard.Picking up the phone on the table, he called Shen Ruoxue's Shanghai logistics company headquarters.

These phones are all new products of Zhongchuan, and they were tested in Luchaogang, and the headquarters of the Shanghai logistics company is also in Luchaogang. Although Shen Ruoxue may not be able to be found, her agent in Shanghai, Wharton, is sure to be found.This biochemical person who has been turned into a White Eagle countryman is now in charge of everything about Shen Ruoxue in the country. Even if Shen Ruoxue secretly goes to the White Eagle country, he can still find him.

"Mr. Wharton, I hope to be able to talk to the second lady. I have something important to tell." Qin Zhongyi spoke very politely, and he admired the second lady's business talent very much.Now that Zhao Shouhong and his eldest wife Sun Yuting are both at sea and it is difficult to contact for a while, he can only find Shen Ruoxue, who is in charge of the family. "I'll help you get in touch right away."

Although Shen Ruoxue is far away in the White Eagle Country, she can communicate through the remote wireless phone of the space hospital. Wharton only needs to put the two phones together.Shen Ruoxue was holding a celebration banquet in the company to celebrate the release of the first movie "Water Lotus" released by Hollywood Film Company. When she heard the cyborg guard said that she had a call for her, she immediately changed the room.

"Wharton, what's the matter?" Shen Ruoxue asked after answering the phone. "Yes ma'am, it's Qin Zhongyi, the acting dean's subordinate, looking for you, and I'll transfer it for you." Although Zhao Shouhong's power has increased greatly, the biochemical people are still willing to call him "boss" in front of Shen Ruoxue, besides calling him "boss" in front of Shen Ruoxue. Previous positions at Space Hospital.
