Chapter 300: The wolf is here

"After this time, I will definitely not expand in a short time, I must control myself." Sheffield swears that he must first stabilize the current career.
"I believe in you, just like you can control your hands!" Edith Rockefeller's eyes glanced down, pretending not to feel the numbness of his chest, and turned a blind eye to the big hands that were doing the trick.
Sheffield drew back her stern hand and just wanted to find a reason for her move. She was dragged back by Edith Rockefeller and heard the woman say, "I don't like people who give up halfway."
For the new development of the tobacco industry, Sheffield dare not say that he has a certain victory, but I think it is not a problem to cut a little cake. First of all, there are no filter cigarettes in this era. Although the filters of later generations are not made of cotton, they are a kind of Chemical fiber, but the earliest filter cigarettes, the filter is cotton.
Such things as cotton are as common as the grain in the southern states of the United States. Without cotton, the Civil War was not so easy to fight. In addition, Sheffield knew that the introduction of hybrid cigarettes quickly became popular in the entire United States. Now, hybrid cigarettes dare not say that they have not appeared, but they have not been accepted by smokers in the entire United States. The United Company has this channel to promote tobacco To the whole country.
The biggest advantage of the hybrid cigarette is that it has a sufficient aroma and low tar content. However, Sheffield has not felt it. It may not be in line with the taste of the people of the Republic. He can only feel the strong smell of smelly feet in his previous life. Now just think about it and have nodded.
The tobacco market in the Republic is basically dominated by the flue-cured tobacco type. Except in the Republic market, the flue-cured tobacco type is only the British market. Because the flue-cured tobacco type was invented by the British, there is basically no other market to support. The other markets are basically American hybrids. Type tobacco dominates the world.
Now Sheffield is going to mix and mix, to see if you can mix out the mixed tobacco, try it out by yourself, if the familiar smell of smelly feet is basically the same.
As the new boss of United Tobacco, Sheffield took Edith Rockefeller to the Renault Tobacco Factory to meet with his new employees. It was a liaison and affiliation, and ensured that all were retained and the treatment remained the same, so that all Of tobacco workers let go of their worries.
Edith Rockefeller watched this hypocritical person with his own eyes, performing how to buy the hearts of people in front of him. After leaving the factory, he whispered, "It is so common to be loved by the workers so quickly."
"I wish I could restore slavery directly!" In front of Edith Rockefeller, Sheffield was no longer pretending, and the showdown directly restored the nature of the slave owner. "For people like us, the so-called workers are essentially slaves. This is the case of the Roman Empire. Although the Roman Empire is dying, in modern times, countries like ours will appear as successors. "
"In this way, other countries are not as powerful as Western civilization, and essentially no slavery?" Edith Rockefeller smiled, thinking Sheffield was bullshit.
"Different civilizations are different, and if it is not interfered by the Industrial Revolution, who knows what they will develop into? But since the Industrial Revolution appeared, this world will have people like me. Your Yangji company is not stronger than me, just pretend I ’m not my own slave, and I do n’t want to pretend.
Sheffield said disapprovingly.
In Sheffield ’s previous life, the history textbooks have been revised a lot, although there is a lot of noise and excitement on the Internet. In fact, the ancestral tombs of the two groups have been planed. During the Kangqian period of the Qing Dynasty, it was no longer called the heyday. After all, although it is a stable period of history in the agricultural society, it can be compared horizontally with the world. Just like the Tyrannosaurus before the meteorite fell, it certainly cannot sustain the great changes of the industrial revolution, and the situation is very embarrassing.
Almost in the same year, the germ of capitalism was also deleted from the textbook. The germ of capitalism appeared in the textbook, and there were two opinions in favor and disagreement. The groups advocating the budding of capitalism are also divided into two groups of Song Yuan and Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is the end, and the textbooks are not talking about the budding of capitalism.
This is good. China's political environment similar to Europe has been gone since the establishment of the Qin Dynasty. The standard centralized system does not rely on feudal lords in Europe. The development of capitalism in Europe must also prove that Europe has it, and China must have posted it.
Not posting to the European environment also proves that the republic ’s national strength has increased, and there is no need to write controversial content in textbooks to increase national pride and get rid of the influence of being close to the West.
The only thing that interested Sheffield was that the blowing points of the two dynasty fans were all shaved. How to tear them off in the future? Unfortunately, he became a contemporary slave owner without seeing it.
"I want to add a filter to the cigarette, which should not be a problem. I am worried that the raw material of the mouth is cotton." After visiting the factory, Sheffield and Edith Rockefeller again found the former boss of the tobacco company, Renault, and proposed a new The conception emphasized that "technically it should not be a problem."
The United States has long been very familiar with what kind of cotton processing, Whitney who invented the cotton gin, but the key person to help the economic take-off of the southern states, but Sheffield has absolutely no good impression of this person. Immediately after the plane died.
Because he promoted another thing, the standardization of gun production, the cotton gin made an industrial revolution in cotton production in the southern United States, and the standardization of guns benefited the north. All the parts of the guns were changed to a unified style. The standard parts of a unified standard must be sized to fit together, and any normal person, with a little training, can quickly master, and the efficiency is also very high.
The ability of the United States to produce guns shook off several streets in other countries. At that time, the world's overlord, the British Empire, the most skilled technicians could only produce two guns at most a day, while an ordinary worker in the United States could successfully complete 50 days a day. The production of guns.
The end result was that Whitney's gin made the economy of the southern states take off. His standardized firearm manufacturing allowed the industrial-oriented northern Yankees to finally the southern states.
"Okay, I'm going to give it a try!" Renault agreed happily. She thought Sheffield's idea was very new. "Is it for better packaging?"
People in this era do not yet have the concept that smoking is harmful to health. Renault just thinks that Sheffield is just for better packaging so that tobacco can be sold better.
"I'm all for citizens' health considerations, it is necessary to have both cigarette satisfaction and good health." Sheffield lied seriously, is the filter cigarettes healthier? The question depends entirely on the smoker, is it right? Think that this is healthier, if this person believes that it is healthy, then there is no problem.
You will never call a person who ca n’t wake up and sleep, a senior smoker, exactly in line with all the generalizations of this sentence, he can always find an excuse to comfort himself, surely it ’s okay.
After adding the filter, Sheffield also asked Renault to produce a new type of thinner cigarette. The filter is also added to the female market. He, a person who advocates equality between men and women, can't just focus on the hobbies of men and put women aside. Since men and women are equal, it is necessary to introduce tobacco that is the main market for women.
This proposal aroused opposition from Renault. He believes that the move will definitely fail. The market for women is too small, which may affect profits. Sheffield persuaded, "Now more than 80 million people in the United States, women account for half, we do not It is possible to ignore the market brought by nearly half of the people, and think about this and prepare early. This investment is worth it. The early investment cannot be saved. "
A hundred years later, it was women who maintained the majesty of the tobacco market in the United States. According to the number of people, the Republic had already overtaken the United States, but half of the women in the United States smoked, maintaining the majesty of the American Tobacco Company.
Adding filters to men ’s cigarettes and opening up the female market at the same time, this is the first thing Sheffield has done after acquiring Reynolds Tobacco, and at the same time let Reynolds begin to test various types of tobacco and blend out mixed cigarettes. Put a lot into the market.
As for the cigarettes currently backlogged by Renault Tobacco, Sheffield has sent a telegram to the headquarters of the supermarket chain, sold them through the channels of the supermarket chain, and even adopted price reduction measures. He also believes that he has acquired Renault Tobacco and quickly reduced prices. Will definitely get feedback from the market immediately to let other tobacco companies know that there is a new player in the tobacco field.
In this way, Sheffield's next round of tobacco mergers and acquisitions will be much smoother, because he has already opened a gap from Renault Tobacco, and it is already an admission. If other small and medium-sized tobacco companies disagree, he can start a price war and clear the field in the tobacco field.
Crowding the profits of other companies, I believe that negotiation will be much easier. Sheffield has not passed this year, but just took the time to send a letter to Anne, Evelyn and Natalia of Arlington. The telegraph apologized, and then continued to investigate the tobacco growing areas in the southern states.
During this period, the acquisition of Renault Tobacco by the United Company has spread. The small and medium-sized enterprises in the entire tobacco industry are facing enemies and lament the wolf. They don't know what their final destiny is, whether they are merged or crushed.
