Chapter 186: Entering Japan

"Marlboro has established its foothold in the United States. The promotion of ESSE is steadily going on. When the Ingrid Bergman movie is released, it will definitely be popular in the United States like Marlboro! Now it is time to consider entering the global market!" George said ambitiously.
"Just while British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco, and Calaher Company haven't eased their breath, we can provide the channel." Philip followed, and the California Consortium and Rockefeller Consortium were planning to rebuild in Europe. China occupies a considerable weight, with operations throughout Western Europe.
"This is also my idea." In addition to the regular channels, the smuggling channels established by Shen Long can also play a huge role. There are already leaders of the underground world in Europe to ask him for Marlboro. Marlboro has also spread with Johnny's film. In Europe, even Sicily's Tommasino proposed a plan to represent this brand in Sicily.
"I will give Tom the responsibility for this matter. Let your people go to Las Vegas to discuss with Tom! In addition, I also want to enter the Asian market. Tobacco in Japan adopts a monopoly system. The monopoly rights are controlled by the Ministry of Tibet. The Japanese Monopoly Commune, but I believe we can persuade General MacArthur, he will let us enter the Japanese market! "If it is other products, Shen Long may not consider entering Japan, so as not to help Americans in the war in the near future, But tobacco doesn't matter, he wants the US military to smoke more.
"Haha." George and Philip laughed at the same time. MacArthur was an emperor-level presence in Japan. He came forward and believed that the province of Tibet would not dare to agree, "He always holds the corn pipe and only needs to give him a little Tobacco, he will definitely promise us. "
"I will go to Japan and MacArthur to discuss these things later." Shen Long went to Japan not only to allow Marlboro and ESSE to enter the Japanese market, but he also planned to look at the layout of the US military in the local area. Although he has detailed historical information, But the data is data after all, and it is different from reality.
"After setting a good date, tell me that I will let Secretary of State Assistant Mr. Dulles greet General MacArthur." Dulles and the Rockefeller family have a close relationship. In the future, he will serve as the chairman of the Rockefeller Consortium. Political figures will come in and out of the consortium and political circles, and their relationship with the consortium is self-evident.
"Okay, I don't think it will take long." Of course, Shen Long also has his own channels, but certainly not as direct as Dulles. The treatment he will face in front of MacArthur is naturally different.
"Mike did a great job at Ike (nicknamed Eisenhower). Ike intends to add some work to him. You can prepare Mike to prepare. Ike will probably go to Europe next year. At that time, Columbia University will have to work for him. Get up. "The two sides were very happy to cooperate during this time, and George was willing to do something for Shen Longdo.
Philip smiled and did not speak, but he had already arranged for someone to help Reagan enter the political arena. He is currently in a leading position in the California parliamentary elections, but this does not need to be spoken in front of Rockefeller's people, although they are now cooperating, but It is not without disagreements. In the military and financial fields, there is a lot of competition between the two major consortia.
After George and Philip left, Shen Long found out the materials of the Japanese Monopoly Commune and began to study. This organization controlled the franchise of tobacco and salt industry in Japan and highly monopolized these commodities. During World War II, he raised a lot of military expenses for the Japanese army; In the future, due to protests by foreign companies, the Japanese Monopoly Corporation was reorganized as the Japan Tobacco Company, becoming the world's third largest multinational tobacco company after Altria Group and British American Tobacco.
In 1999, Japan Tobacco Corporation spent a huge sum of USD 7.8 billion to acquire Reynolds Tobacco ’s international business, so Camel Tobacco has also become a Japanese brand, and there are many famous brands such as Yunston.
I am afraid that it is difficult for Americans now to imagine that the camel smoke that makes them proud will fall into the hands of Japan? But in this world, this kind of thing probably won't happen. Maybe soon, the camel will be taken by Shenlong Altria.
During World War II, Japanese popular cigarettes such as "Asahi" and "Golden Jun" were frequently used in various anti-Japanese dramas; however, after the war, the most popular is the "Peace" produced by the US Army Command. "Brand cigarettes. The box of this kind of cigarette is printed with two birds. The bird symbolizing the United States is high above, while the bird symbolizing Japan is looking down at the United States below.
In other words, Shen Long wants to enter the Japanese market not only to face the monopoly policy of the Japanese monopoly commune, but also to face competition from the US Garrison Command, but it does not matter. Heping Yan mainly occupies the high-end market. He can use other companies to buy tobacco. Make low-end cigarettes to enter the Japanese market.
After the United States ended its occupation of Japan in 1952, he took peace cigarettes from the US military, which is only three years away.
After making preparations, Shen Long took Albert Neri to a US military plane and landed in Japan. Although the war has ended for several years now, Tokyo has not recovered from Li Mei ’s bombing. It is the ruins, and the workers who are cleaning up the ruins.
Pedestrians on the street are mostly yellow-skinned, but Shen Long looked at him comfortably. This is the end of the war, but unfortunately another war will start soon, and Japan will also use this opportunity to break the shackles and restore the economy ~ www .EbookFREE.me ~ Jeeps driven by American soldiers rampaged across the street. The traffic police on the street did not dare to control them. They all cast their eyes in awe and sent Shen Long to follow them into the US military headquarters.
Here, Shen Long quickly saw MacArthur holding a corn pipe. Dulles' face was very useful. He received Shen Long the first time, and Shen Long gave Shire's tobacco as a gift.
McArthur set some into his own pipe, which was specially built for him by the Missouri Sepiolite Company, the world's largest producer of corncob pipes, and has now become MacArthur's logo.
He was very satisfied with the tobacco delivered by Shen Long. "Excellent tobacco. I will smoke this in the future. Remember to send more." Shen Long agreed with pleasure. With the tobacco as an introduction, both parties had a very pleasant conversation and soon When we got to the topic, MacArthur asked, "What do you want to do in Japan?"
When he heard that Shen Long wanted to sell cigarettes in Japan, MacArthur smiled. "Ha, now half a pack of cigarettes can change a woman in Japan, they don't have the money to buy cigarettes."
