Chapter 183: Tobacco Group

After lingering with Hepburn for a few days, Shen Long returned to Las Vegas and asked Tom Hagen to investigate the current status of the world ’s tobacco companies. Now he prefers to stay here rather than New York.
The result of the survey is a bit beyond his expectations. The cigarettes that are sold worldwide today are not the types he is familiar with in later generations, but camels, lucrative and Chesterfield. In the future, the world ’s number one Marlboro is now just a type. Not-so-famous women ’s cigarettes, and the products of British American Tobacco, such as Hilton and 555, were affected by World War II and are now in a difficult recovery.
Among them, camel cigarettes belong to Reynolds Tobacco Company in Winston, North Carolina. Old Reynolds is very good at influence promotion, making the pattern of the desert camel become a household name and is now the most well-known cigarette brand.
Hocay Cigarettes belongs to another company in the United States. It is the oldest cigarette brand in the world. Under the operation of the company's boss, it became a special cigarette for the United States Army. As World War II progressed, like Coca-Cola, Hocay Cigarettes also accompanied The footsteps of American soldiers have traveled all over the world; in the TV series "Brother of the Brothers", those soldiers have drawn good luck.
Chesterfield belongs to Philip Morris Tobacco Company, which was founded in London and later entered the US market. It took advantage of the opportunity of the US government to dissolve the tobacco trust and survived, and gradually developed economic cigarettes during the economic crisis. There is fierce competition in the market with Reynolds Tobacco and Myers Tobacco.
Marlboro is also a brand of Philip Morris. In the future, this company will become the world's number one tobacco company and extend its tentacles to other fields. In 2003, the company was renamed Altria Group, which controlled Marlboro cigarettes, Kraft Foods, Maxwell Coffee, Merlot Beer and many other well-known brands, Qixi Beverage was once under the control of this company. The company has been in the forefront of the world's top 500 for a long time, and it is an out-and-out behemoth.
Today, Reynolds Tobacco, Morris Tobacco, British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco, Calais Tobacco, etc. are the major players in the United States and even the world market. The latter are British companies because of World War II. For this reason, the company's performance has been greatly affected.
In other words, now is a good opportunity to enter the tobacco market, Shen Long knocked on the table, "Tom, ask Philip Morris, does Marlboro's brand sell? By the way, what background does this company have? "He has seen a Marlboro classic marketing plan, and feels that it can be used directly, which is much more convenient than recreating the brand himself.
"They have a certain relationship with the Boston Consortium and the Morgan Consortium; Philip Morris is headquartered in Virginia, and Virginia is the sphere of influence of the Boston Consortium, and they have cooperated with Morgan to carry out some mergers and acquisitions business." Tom Hui reported, thinking in the United States To grow the company, you can't avoid these consortia, "Do you want to enter the tobacco industry? This is a strange business, is it more cautious?"
"Familiar business was filled up long ago, and companies such as British American Tobacco and Imperial Tobacco are in a weak state. Now is a good opportunity to enter this field; help me make appointments with the Rockefeller Consortium and the California Consortium. I am going to talk to them. Chat. "Since there is a shadow of the Boston Consortium and the Morgan Consortium behind him, Shen Long brought in other consortia to cooperate.
The representative of the California Consortium Philippe Giannini and the representative of the Rockefeller Consortium George Tomond arrived soon, Shen Long took out the cigarettes rolled with Shire tobacco and handed them; the filter was invented as early as 1925, but It has not yet become mainstream, and it was not until 1955 that Marlboro was changed to a filter version.
"It tastes good, it's not as choking as other tobaccos, it's also very fresh, and it's very suitable for high-end occasions." George and Philip tried to take a few sips, and highly rated the cigarette, "Freddo, this is you Are you planning to enter the capital of the tobacco industry? The Rockefeller consortium is willing to cooperate with you. It happens that we have several small tobacco production plants in North Carolina that can be used to buy shares if you can come up with a complete plan. "
"If the plan is suitable, we have some tobacco fields in Kentucky, and I can use these to buy shares." George and Philip made a quick decision, they are also more optimistic about the prospects of this line, and at the same time, they pay more attention to the strong judgment, since both parties Since launching the cooperation, Shen Long has never made any mistakes.
North Carolina and Kentucky are the major tobacco growing states in the United States. Before the founding of the United States, some immigrants began to grow tobacco in these two states. To date, these two states' tobacco production accounts for seven Most of the famous tobacco companies in the United States have gathered here, such as Reynolds Tobacco, which is now the number one in the United States.
"I have a report here, which was made by several professors at Stanford, you can look at it first." Shen Long threw in a document, which was commissioned by several experts during his time in Hollywood. Contains harmful substances, and the research object is the most popular cigarettes such as camel and Lucky on the market today.
"According to scientific research, cigarettes contain a variety of harmful substances such as nicotine, smoke nicotine, tar, etc. ~ EbookFREE.me ~ easily lead to many diseases such as lung cancer." Without Shen Long ’s reminder, in 1950, reader ’s abstracts will also A large number of articles have been posted stating that smoking is harmful to health, which has caused turmoil in the tobacco industry.
"And this new type of tobacco I got has a lower content of harmful substances than all types of tobacco on the market now, plus the filter filter, the harm is much smaller; I believe that with this, we will Can be invincible in the competition, the only thing to consider is how much cake to eat. "In the real world, Shen Long can only rely on legal means to protect his tobacco varieties, and here, who dares to move this mind The killers under his hands will talk to each other well.
Do n’t think that Shen Long is a serious business man. Well, it ’s not right. At the beginning, Dupont and Rockefeller did not do this kind of thing that killed people because of commercial competition. Now he just has something to learn. This is an excellent tradition of American capitalists and must be maintained.
"After I go back, I will let our laboratory carry out relevant research. If it is confirmed, I will help you convince Morris to transfer the Marlboro brand to this new company we co-founded." George collected the document, " By the way, Fredo, why must Marlboro be? "
