You can see that kind of shoddy souvenirs wherever you go. Tourists are not stupid, so why should they buy them from you? And everyone on earth knows that these small vendors in China are very deceptive. △↗
,
Along a dirt road, Han Kongque looked at all kinds of exquisite jewelry, thinking that when he found a place to stay, he would buy some. He didn't have to buy other things, but he must buy some of the exquisite silver jewelry.
Han Peacock was walking when someone called him.
"Cigarettes?" Looking at the man who looked like he was selling something, Han Kongque found that he was holding a pack of cigarettes.
"Kretek cigarettes, a world famous brand!" The man stretched out his thumb and gestured to the flue in his hand.
Kretek cigarettes Han Kongque knew that although the country that produced this cigarette was disgusting, as the owner of this tobacco company, Han Kongque still admired it very much.
It is a specialty of Indonesia. It is made from clove leaf oil mixed with tobacco leaves. It is rich in fragrance and is said to be able to cure asthma. It is a unique hobby of Indonesians and even Southeast Asians.
The reason why Han Peacock knows this is not because it is a specialty of Indonesia, but because of the family that produces this kind of cigarette.
The Cai Daoxing family founded the "Yancang Brand" kretek cigarette factory. They carried out a historic technological revolution on this cigarette, regained the cigarette market from the British, safeguarded national interests, and exported and expanded it abroad.
The reason why Han Kongque knew it was definitely not only because the Cai family and his son were Chinese, but because the Cai family and his son were known as the kings of the clove cigarette kingdom in the world.
The founder of Yancang Group is Cai Yunhui, Cai Daoxing’s father.
Cai Yunhui was born on August 15, 2019 in a small town in China.
When he was 4 years old, he came to Indonesia with his parents. After a lot of hard work and poor management, he founded the "Yang Cang Brand" clove cigarette factory in Kediri, East Java in 1958. In 1966, it became a hit and made him rich.
Yancang Group has occupied about 50% of Indonesia's cigarette market for more than 30 years. It has sales outlets in every city and branch factories in every port. In 1989, it had 48,000 workers.
Cai Yunhui died of illness in New Zealand on August 29, 1985. The eldest son Cai Daoxing took charge of the family business.
Cai Daoxing was born in Indonesia in 1945. He started assisting his father in running the business in 1968. He knew that he had to take on this huge undertaking and that the hope of his family and clan must be motivated.
He started from the grassroots level, doing heavy work like ordinary employees. He asked for advice humbly and patiently, learned business knowledge that could not be read in textbooks, and gradually became familiar with the internal operating procedures of the company.
In 1983, he was able to take charge of his own business. His father retired from the background, and Cai Daoxing became the chief executive of the company's administrative bureau. He is also the president of Surya Sisa Cigarette Paper Factory and Hali Bank Indonesia, and is currently the managing director of Yancang Group.
The Shiokang Kretek Cigarette Factory is a large synthetic enterprise that also produces raw materials and accessories for Kretek cigarettes. The cigarette paper factory covers an area of 21 hectares in Surya Sisa, on the outskirts of Kediri.
In recent years, it has invested in opening a second cigarette paper factory, acquired a new printing factory, a leaf factory, and a tobacco leaf plantation and clove plantation in Madura Island and Banyuwangi respectively.
The Yancang factory complex has 4 firetrucks, a transport fleet of 730 trucks, and is also equipped with 3 helicopters, which is unique among large Indonesian companies.
The financial institution of Yancang Group is Hali Bank Indonesia. Its head office is located in Surabaya and controls 15 affiliated companies. Through some of its subsidiaries, it also owns several international star hotels.
Cai Daoxing is good at operational planning and understands new business management science. In recent years, he has launched many new ideas, including plans to build a large warehouse in Surabaya and expand tourism in Singapore. The momentum is quite strong.
Competition in the Indonesian cigarette market is very fierce. In 1977, there were 321 cigarette factories, but now 128 have been eliminated. Yancang clove cigarettes have always been the leader, with an annual cigarette tax of 502 billion dong, accounting for 40% of the country's total cigarette tax.
In 1990, the Ministry of Finance of the Indonesian government announced the 200 companies that paid the most business taxes in the country. Yancang Tobacco Factory ranked 21st, and the Cai family's total tax payment always ranked first in the country.
Cai Daoxing Ke Shao Keqiu inherited and carried forward his father's traditional style. Singapore newspapers and periodicals can be summed up in four aspects: first, keen business inspiration; second, caring for subordinates and paying attention to employee welfare; third, low-profile style, not asking for anything.
He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable; fourth, he is approachable and willing to listen to opinions.
This has greatly promoted the improvement of product quality and the expansion of port business.
In the urban area of Kediri, there is a city hall built by Cai, a large entertainment city, and a large swimming pool. The factory's engineering team often participates in municipal construction, building streets and erecting bridges. Even all traffic lights in the county and city are "salt warehouses"
It’s no wonder that the governor and mayor gave thumbs up to the offerings and said they were really amazing.
When Cai Yunhui was buried, everyone in Indonesia, including the president, cabinet ministers, and local governments, sent wreaths and sent messages of condolence. Representatives from foreign factories came to attend the funeral.
Therefore, not all Chinese are bullied in Indonesia. Those who are bullied are always the weak.
Cai's is an out-and-out family business. Cai Daoxing's second brother Cai Daoping and third brother Cai Dao'an both serve as vice presidents of the company's administrative bureau. The fourth brother Cai Dao was promoted to the production department manager. The four brothers and two sisters Cai Jihua and Cai Jilian,
Jun joined the board of directors as a director, and his mother Chen Shuzhen and his uncle and nephew also held important positions in this area.
It is such a big family that supports a huge enterprise, which can be said to play a decisive role in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
And the reason why they are so valued is not just because they are rich, but because they control the jobs of many people.
There are approximately 3.4 million workers in Indonesia, involved in all aspects of activities related to the tobacco industry, from cultivation to retail, and the radiation impact means that 13.6 million Indonesians, mostly women and children, rely on tobacco to make a living.
With so many people pointing their fingers at tobacco companies, as the largest tobacco company in Southeast Asia, Chua is certainly well off.
Unfortunately, these Chinese families in Southeast Asia have very low recognition in the country, so their reputation in the country is not obvious.
"Come on a pack! How much is a pack?" Although he didn't agree with what these people did, Han Peacock still admired them, so he took out a few scattered US dollars and wanted to try this famous tobacco.
"Two dollars." The vendor happily handed Han Kongque a pack of cigarettes and a lighter with a plastic shell.
Han Peacock gave the vendor two one-dollar bills and took the cigarette case and lighter.
The words on the cigarette box were all letters, and Han Kongque didn't know what they meant. He tore open the package and found that there were only 12 cigarettes inside. The price was not cheap, almost one yuan per cigarette.
Light the fire, and when the flame is extinguished, you will see the cigarette butt popping, crackling.
Said! Isn’t there really TNT in it?
As a wisp of blue smoke rose, Han Peacock's lips immediately felt extremely sweet, as if saccharin had been soaked in water and became sticky after too much saccharin was added.
At the same time, my nose smelled an indescribable smell like burning wood. Is this the smell of cloves?
After taking a gentle puff, the burning tobacco still made a crackling sound.
The sweetness of the smoke entering the mouth was slightly weakened, and at the same time, it was mixed with another taste, like accidentally eating soapy water in the mouth, filling the lips, teeth, tongue, etc., and it was still an extremely uncomfortable state.
Han Peacock took a deep breath, and the sound that made Han Peacock tremble was still ringing in his ears. This thing was in his mouth. If it exploded, it would definitely feel so sour.
Supported by extreme panic and fear, Han Kongque closed his eyes and allowed the smoke smelling of soapy water to enter his lungs.
Resisting not to throw out the extremely disturbing cigarette, Han Kongque let the smoke stay in his lungs for a while, and then used all his strength to blow out the smoke, leaving no trace behind.
Is this eating fruit or smoking? What a weird idea is this to create this kind of cigarette?
However, I have to say that this kind of cigarette is really unique. At least Han Kongque will never forget it once he smoked it. Not only the taste of this clove cigarette, but also the feeling of smoking firecrackers is absolutely amazing.
deep impression.
"No wonder this thing was turned into artillery smoke by Guo Ran. It's really weird." Han Kongque looked at the box of cigarettes in his hand and smiled bitterly.
Although he is bold, every time he smokes, it feels like he is holding a bunch of firecrackers in his mouth, which is unbearable!
"Are you Xiao Han?" Just as Han Kongque was getting cold looking at a pack of cigarettes, a man came over. The man was about forty years old and had a dark complexion, but he could still tell that he was a Chinese.
Of course, he also spoke pure Chinese.
"I am, are you?" Han Peacock asked.
"Call me Lao Wu! I'm also from China. Lao Wang told me this morning when he came down to buy groceries. He said he wanted you to come over and have a look. I didn't expect you to come down from the mountain." He looked in the direction he was coming from.
, Old Wu said strangely.
Han Peacock laughed and said, "Go up and take a look at the surrounding environment."
"Xiao Han also plans to start a business? In fact, farming is not as good as working in the construction industry. We can't stay here for too long. Who knows when there will be another war?" Old Wu said.
Han Kongque didn't know what to say. At this time, several other men in their forties and fifties came over.
"Just here?" a man with a darker complexion asked.
Han Kongque looked at this man in confusion. He looked like a local, but he spoke Chinese. Although it was not authentic, it was definitely pure Chinese.
"He is a native of Nasang. He has learned Chinese and can speak simple sentences. As long as you don't speak too fast, he can understand everything." Old Wu said.
"I just came here. I like the environment here very much. I want to buy a batch of vegetables and fruits here. If there is good wood, I also want it, including rubber, coffee, red sandalwood, and white sandalwood." Han Kongque said with a smile. (
