Red Dead Redemption Dawn

Chapter 482: Tobacco's Second Revolution

The latest website: Heishui Town, John and Anna are inspecting the cigarette factory.

About Anna's arrangement last night, John also asked on the way.

"Rather than letting you go out to find those who don't know the details and have ulterior motives, it's better to let you die at home. Don't worry, I just celebrated her eighteenth birthday last week." Anna said coldly with a bit of resentment.

After that John stopped asking.

After visiting the two large tobacco factories, John had some ideas looking at the non-stop operation of the cigarette rolling machines.

So he bid farewell to Anna, and then found his own team of lawyers, asked them to register a new company, and allocated a sum of money to purchase a suitable building.

Kane and the others looked at John, who had been doing so hotly these days, with a dazed expression.

"What are you going to do?" Kane asked, looking at John who was writing and drawing.

"Reform the existing cigarette pattern." John said without looking up.

"That's good, and the scientist Mr. John Wick is also good." Kane disagreed.

In the next two days, John visited Senator Edwin again and asked his influence in the UK to help register a new research company in the UK and France.

Then on the fourth day, John wrote to Nick in Saint-Denis to recruit some young, thoughtful and professional people.

On the eighth day, John found the heads of the technical departments of the two tobacco factories in his newly purchased building.

"My name is Shangerton, nice to meet you~ Mr. Wick."

"My name is Lake. It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Wick."

The heads of the technical departments of the two factories were very happy to meet the boss behind the scenes.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lake and Mr. Shangerton." After shaking hands with them one by one, John asked some research and development issues of these two departments.

"The departments of our two factories have researched more than eleven different flavors of cigarettes in the past five years, but they were not recognized due to the problem of market acceptance." Lake said helplessly.

Cigarettes at this time point are much more bitter and stimulating than those in the last century. By the way, cigarettes at this time do not have cigarette butts.

So it's full of tobacco and tar.

The main purpose of meeting with the technical directors of the two departments this time is to let them develop cigarettes with filter cotton and establish a new cigarette brand.

"I personally like to smoke, but I have always felt that the tar and shredded tobacco are very bitter, so I have some ideas." John took out the cigarette painting he had drawn and handed it to the two supervisors.

"You guys try to study it. The cigarette I drew above has a circle of active cotton. In my imagination, it should be able to filter a considerable part of the tar and the stimulation of tobacco. I personally think that it will improve the purity and taste of tobacco. , and more suitable for ordinary people who can’t stand the stimulating taste of tobacco.”

He doesn't know much about the development and production of cigarettes, but at least he knows that cigarette butts are made of a kind of cotton, and he also knows the general grinding shape, which is enough.

As for what kind of cotton it is, it will be handled by professional people.

"I have sent people to Washington, the United Kingdom, France and other countries to apply for patents for this design. I hope you can find the cotton that I imagine can filter some irritants from this design." John looked at the two asked the supervisor with a somewhat indifferent expression.

"No ~ no." Hearing John's question, the two executives reacted randomly.

In the eyes of the two executives, the new design is good, but the idea may be a bit taken for granted. John's request is like a rich man suddenly had an idea.

So he paid someone to design his idea.

Another exaggerated analogy is that a rich man pays a group of scientists to develop a drug that can make people with terminal cancer recover instantly.

More than just taking it for granted, it is simply whimsical.

However, John drew the design drawings, and the requirements were very low, that is, to find a suitable filter active cotton to wrap the smoke.

It's very simple, and it's not difficult to complete. As for whether the effect is really

Like John said, they sure don't know. Now they all regard it as a whim of the boss, a play on the spur of the moment.

"Very well, there will be many young people coming over in a while, and you will be responsible for managing them. Let them work hard, and each of them will receive a one-time dividend of the same amount after success." John drew a big cake for the two.

"We worked hard, but Mr. John, are we spun off?" Director Lake asked.

"Yes, you are the directors and department managers of the new company, do you have any questions?"

"We need to purchase related equipment. As you know, sir, research is a process that consumes a lot of money and won't be effective immediately." Shangerton carefully reminded John that this work is very expensive.

"I have asked someone to buy it in Saint-Denis, and I will be here in about a week. Tomorrow, you will use the equipment in the tobacco factory to conduct a simple experiment, and the follow-up precision instrument researchers will transport it." John. nod.

After letting the two leave, John began to recruit new people to prepare for the new tobacco brand company. In order to ensure that the filter cigarettes can be promoted and invaded the market immediately after they are designed, and the two factories in Rhodes Town that he originally wanted to take over were temporarily put on hold by his whim cigarette reform.

Nick, who was far away in the city of Saint-Denis, searched the entire city within a few days, and found many people who were researching strange things.

All of them had a fairly high degree of education and scientific research experience, but Nick didn't know how many of them met John's requirements.

So he sorted out the information and sent it back, letting John choose the person who met his own requirements.

In this era, too many people died in poverty for research.

Given funding, there are no researchers who cannot be recruited.

While John was squandering his funds happily, his working capital and the gold bricks dug up were also shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In this case, Kane proposed a large family meeting after dinner.

"John, you have spent 20,000 dollars in the last week. You have spent almost 30,000 dollars in the past half month. I think you should understand that this is an astronomical figure. I am not questioning the value of some research. For example, your cigarette design is very good in my opinion. But ~ we already owe the bank 200,000 yuan, although we still have sufficient funds, but ~ your profligacy makes us a little worried." Kane expressed John euphemistically The incredible speed at which money is spent.

"The initial investment in research is necessary, and I guarantee that there will be no such large expenditures in the future." He also knew that his squandering in the past ten days was indeed a lot, but he also knew that these researches were due to Guarantee of future wealth.

But being pragmatic, it is actually difficult for them to agree with John's approach, opening a food processing factory, a lumber mill, and a cotton factory. They will definitely not object to these practical investments, but they don't understand when they invest in patent research that they are destined to see no profit in a short period of time.

And John understood that they didn't understand.

"The times are advancing, Kane. Our world will be very different in the future. We have made some necessary reserves in advance." John patiently explained to them.

"The follow-up costs will not be too much. More than a thousand dollars per month can keep this research company running continuously. As long as one of these investments succeeds, we can make huge profits."

"And I guarantee that in the future, a professional person will make an evaluation report for this level of expenditure to determine whether our investment is worthwhile. Is this okay?"

"John, we're not questioning you, we're just worried that your amazing spending has no deadline." Kane explained kindly.

"Yes~ yes~ yes, I understand, and~ by the way, there are two medium-sized factories in Rhodes that need to be transferred. They are a food processing factory and a lumber mill. The transfer fee is only 30,000 US dollars, but only 5,000 US dollars is required to be paid in advance. Yes, Kenny, arrange for the assessors and relevant professionals to go to Rhodes tomorrow, and explain the situation to Zhao An. He will take you to the relevant personnel, and then you can see if you can take over." John said The factory that he had put on hold for half a month.

"No problem first

Well, I will arrange for someone to go there tomorrow. Kenny nodded in response.

"By the way, Kane, I have taken some time to write some plays these days. See if there is a suitable opera house in Heishui Town, and buy it." John just made the promise not to waste money, and now he will Mobilize tens of thousands of funds.

"Buy it to act in your script? Are you going to be a writer again?" Kane asked a little helplessly.

"To pave the way for our products, the research institute has already designed my cigarette, and it still needs to be improved. It is estimated that it will be almost the same next month." John took out the filter cigarette that has been improved several times in the past few days.

There is no difference from the smoke in the previous life.

"Come~ come~ come~ smoke one and taste it, the cotton side is for smoking in your mouth." John finished smoking for them.

Kane looked at the unidentified cigarette in front of him, he picked it up and looked at it again and again.

Except for one more section of white cotton.

Several people lit up dubiously, and tasted the new-style cigarettes with cotton tips one after another.

For a while, the huge conference room was surrounded by disgust.

"It's a bit hard to **** up." Kenny, who is in his fifties, commented after taking two puffs.

"Slightly fragrant," Dorom said.

"It's not that bitter." Kane also nodded.

"It doesn't have the sticky feeling of tar, and the smoke that comes up is a little less, which is quite smooth." Billy commented after taking two puffs.

"Is the overall feeling much better?" John asked a little proudly.

Anna ran to open the window of the meeting room, and with a gust of evening wind, the smoke in the meeting room disappeared.

Several people also showed their figures.

Most of them nodded after listening to what John said.

"It's just hard to smoke, the stimulation is not that great, but it's really good to smoke, it seems to be more fragrant." Dorome said.

"But what does that have to do with your buying an opera house?" Kane asked about it.

"My script is based on this cigarette, and it needs enough publicity and brainwashing." The script is not long, it is more like an extended modern advertisement.

"Does this cigarette have a name?" Kane said, lighting another one.

"How about Cowboys?" John said of the brand he'd been thinking of.

Several people were puzzled when they heard it.

Seeing their appearance, John also guessed something, "I'm not here to act, I don't have that much free time. And if you want to, why don't you just call Wick Cigarettes."

"It's a good name, but it's so light and irritating. Although the taste is really good, it's not appropriate to call it a cowboy." Kane said.

"Actually, I also think that UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is more suitable for ladies." Dorome nodded approvingly.

"Smoking cigarettes is actually bad. It is easy to get lung disease. Look at your big yellow teeth. How ugly, this cigarette can effectively reduce the probability of getting lung disease." John's script is also written around the lung disease of life and death.

The main purpose is to remind people of the dangers of cigarettes without filter cotton.

"Then there is no need to buy an opera house, just hire a few opera singers to perform, and it doesn't cost a lot of money. During this time, the opera house's business is bleak and it doesn't make money." Kane still expressed his disapproval of John's plan to buy an opera house.

"Then don't buy it." John had to give up temporarily.

Then everyone had a heated discussion and suggestion in the meeting room about this new type of cigarette developed by ourselves, and the follow-up development of this brand.

After chatting, everyone went back to rest, and John was very happy at night these days.

Also, his physique surpassed that of ordinary people, otherwise he might not be able to bear it. Mobile phone users please browse and read, palm reading is more convenient.
