Tanegashima Teruichi said with some surprise: "It shouldn't be. I remember that there should be no underground facilities in this factory. After all, this factory is not an important place. Although the Yamamoto faction will come here for meetings from time to time, because of the whole
The factory is under their control, so they don't need a basement to plot."
"That's true, but the premise is that the Yamamoto faction's ambition is only to become the head of the Tanegashima family, so the Yamamoto faction may have colluded with outsiders long ago."
Shimazu Hiromichi said with a gloomy face: "I have also investigated your Tanegashima family before, and then I found that the industries controlled by the Yamamoto faction have problems with profit margins. According to the data I obtained, it should be profitable, but
The results reported by Yamamoto's newspaper were either breaking even, or losing some money, and the reasons they used were nothing more than loss of materials and favors. At most, they could add an accountant to abscond with the money. I still think of these reasons.
It’s really hard to refute.”
"But I also know that situations like this are not uncommon in the Shimadzu family, because there are too many people who like to collect wool, especially when facing the black goat of the Shimadzu family, many people will feel that they have to collect wool.
A piece of wool would not be discovered, so I stopped investigating what the Yamamoto faction had done. Of course, I also hoped to use this as a handle to threaten the Yamamoto faction to do things for me. After all, the Yamamoto faction is now the most promising to win.
The next head of the Tanegashima family belongs to the faction, so taking down the Yamamoto faction is equivalent to gaining the support of the Tanegashima family."
Liu Xing looked at Shimazu Hiromichi in surprise. He didn't expect him to say such a thing so frankly now. It seemed that he had really looked away.
"I actually know this, but I can't say anything, because the Yamamoto faction may still hold each other back in other aspects, but at this critical moment, they can still be monolithic, so although you can find some differences in the Yamamoto faction's accounts,
It's not normal, but you can't find any evidence to prove it... Moreover, the Yamamoto faction's behavior is quite ruthless, and if necessary, they will not hesitate to find a few people to take the blame."
Tanegashima Teruichi said as he walked to the location of the tunnel, which is the innermost corner of the factory. It seemed that it could only allow a person of standard size to walk down, so half-ghosts who were too large could only
Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the ocean and sighing.
"It seems that there is just a conference room down here, because it will be very uncomfortable if you have to carry something down, and you have to carry some small items."
Shimazu Hiromichi glanced at Andre, shook his head and said, "It seems that I still have to go out and take a look below. Mr. Furugi, can you feel that there are any living creatures down here?"
Gu Muming shook his head and said with certainty: "There are no signs of living things down here, but I can't guarantee that the so-called Yamamoto sect you call has no mechanisms installed; but the space under this tunnel is not big, and
It’s just over ten square meters, so I think it’s a conference room.”
Hearing what Gu Muming said, Shimazu Hiromichi felt relieved and directly turned on the flashlight and entered the tunnel.
Not long after, Shimazu Hiromichi came out of the tunnel with a disgraced look, "There is actually a monitoring room down there. The monitoring screen shows the entire factory area. Other than that, there is only a wire bed and a low table."
, there are several cigarette butts that have not been cleaned in the ashtray on the low table, so I can draw a conclusion from these cigarette butts, that is, this control room has been guarded within three days."
"Huh? How can you tell the time with a cigarette butt?" Tanegashima Teruichi asked very cooperatively.
Although Liu Xing is also curious about how Shimazu Hiromichi analyzed this point.
"It's like this. I happened to be able to recognize their brand from those cigarette butts. One of the cigarette butts is the latest product of the Seven Star brand. This new product was only launched three days ago, so I can be sure.
Someone has come to this monitoring room in the past three days." Hiromichi Shimazu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, "I happen to like Seven Star cigarettes, so I didn't miss this new product."
"Oh, that's interesting, because the permanent population of Tanegashima is only 50,000. Excluding the staff of the Tanegashima Space Center and our Tanegashima family, there will not be many ordinary people left on Tanegashima, so Tanegashima
Convenience stores and supermarkets only stock goods once every half a month to a month. After all, Tanegashima is a small island and goods must be transported by ship. This single transportation cost is not low, so it must be guaranteed every time.
A certain amount of goods must be shipped each time to avoid price fluctuations, and the most recent purchase seems to have been ten days ago, so it is unlikely that this new cigarette was purchased from a convenience store or supermarket."
Tanegashima Teruyi said with a serious face: "Besides, convenience stores and supermarkets on Tanegashima basically have a fixed customer base, so things like cigarettes only carry brands that most customers like, so I remember Tanegashima
The convenience stores and supermarkets you go to will not carry the Seven Stars brand; as for our Tanegashima family, we will not prepare this kind of cigarettes, because our Tanegashima family actually has our own cigarettes. After all, cigarettes are very important to seeds who have to do heavy physical work for a long time.
It is a good refreshment for members of the Island family, so the Tanegashima family began to grow tobacco themselves a long time ago in order to reduce the cost of tobacco."
"Yes, compared to growing tobacco yourself, buying cigarettes is indeed too expensive." Shimazu Hiromichi nodded in agreement: "Originally, our Shimadzu family was planning to acquire a foreign company because the boss's investment failed, so we reluctantly changed hands.
Tobacco company, but we didn’t expect that this tobacco company was very popular, and in the end we just couldn’t buy it.”
Speaking of tobacco, Liu Xing suddenly remembered a joke, that is, the military expenditures of countries around the world are basically provided by smokers, because tobacco is really an industry with huge profit margins, and can even be inked with nuclear power.
The money machine is pulling hands, so most countries in the world will firmly control the tobacco industry in official hands, even America, which has been vigorously advocating full marketization, is the same.
There is no way, the tobacco industry is too profitable.
"The relationship between supply and demand determines the price of goods, but for something like tobacco that is easy to get addicted to, the price cannot be determined simply by the relationship between total supply and demand. After all, if the price is determined according to normal logic, then there may be only a few cigarettes we can buy now.
It costs 1 yuan a box, so there will be more smokers."
Yin En shook his head and whispered: "I had a friend before, well, that was my cousin. I don't know what he thought. He went to Yunxiao County to join hands with others to make fake cigarettes. As a result, he was imprisoned for several years.
Then when I visited him last time, he wanted me to help him restart the process, because he said that as long as I went to Yunxiao County with his name, I was guaranteed to set up a production line within three days, and half of
You can get your money back within a month.”
When Yin En mentioned Yunxiao County, Liu Xing remembered a sentence - Yunxiao, the Putian of the counterfeit cigarette industry.
There is a joke that if you want to identify whether a pair of brand-name shoes or a brand-name bag is from Putian, then you just have to work hard. If the brand-name shoe or bag is broken, it means that it is genuine.
After all, many famous brand shoe and bag factories are located in Putian. Even though the labor cost in Southeast Asia is now lower than that of Putian, Putian’s accumulated manufacturing technology is the best in Southeast Asia. This is also the reason why Putian products have become synonymous with pirated famous brand shoes and bags.
, after all, these Putian products are most likely to come off the same production line as the genuine products, and the time difference may be only a few minutes.
The reason why Yunxiao cigarettes can become the Putian product in the counterfeit cigarette industry is that the counterfeit cigarette technology in Yunxiao County is very good, and can even be said to be a step above. Therefore, some smokers think that the counterfeit cigarettes produced in Yunxiao County are better than
The real cigarettes of the same brand are even better, and the price is quite affordable... Of course, Liu Xing feels that the most outrageous thing is that Yunxiao County has developed an innovative spirit after becoming bigger and stronger, and even genuine cigarette factories have come back to "plagiarize" their products.
Creativity, for example, the tin box cigarettes on the market are the first of its kind created by Yunxiao Cigarettes, and most of the high-end cigarettes on the market now come in tin box gift editions.
In addition to tin box cigarettes, when making some "high-end" cigarettes, Yunxiao Cigarettes also very considerately coats each cigarette to ensure that after you open the cigarette box, the remaining cigarettes inside will not
The taste changes due to moisture. In addition, slim cigarettes are also the first of Yunxiao cigarettes.
Of course, the most outrageous thing is that in order to increase sales, Yunxiao Cigarettes even repackages its own counterfeit cigarettes. For example, the blue-packaged Yuxi Cigarettes and Peony Cigarettes are both original Yunxiao Cigarettes, and the real owners of the counterfeit products have to admit that
The packaging design of these two cigarettes is really good, so I had to upgrade my real cigarettes to the same packaging.
In addition to domestic cigarette brands, foreign famous brand cigarettes have also been "imitated" by Yunxiao Cigarettes, and they are very popular among locals in countries such as America, so some people have ridiculed them before.
If we want to engage in a trade war to attack the Chinese brands entering America, then Yunxiao Cigarettes should be at the top of the list.
"Actually, I have smoked Yunxiao cigarettes that my cousin brought me before. The taste was more real than the real thing. However, during that time, my third uncle passed away from lung cancer, and he had been a smoker for decades.
, the doctor asked our family members if they wanted to see the condition of his lungs, and I nodded without fear of death, but the sight of the lungs made me feel sick."
Yin En looked at Liu Xing and continued: "Liu Xing, you are a doctor, so you should have seen this kind of black lung caused by smoking for decades, right?"
Liu Xing nodded, then shook his head and said: "I have seen more exciting things than this. After all, as long as you stay in the operating room for a day, you will know how numb those diseased tissues are. For example, we often
We hear that someone in our family has kidney stones or gallstones, so we think these stones are nothing serious, just a few stuck in the kidneys or gallbladder."
"Uh, isn't it? I've always felt that way." Li Hanxing said with some surprise.
Liu Xing smiled and said seriously: "Then you are wrong to think so. Just like when you see a cockroach at home, it means that there are a large number of cockroaches lurking in every corner of your home, and the stones
The same is true; as long as a patient lies on the operating table and undergoes minimally invasive surgery to remove stones, they can basically provide three-digit stones, and these stones are not small in size. Of course, the most important thing is that these stones are all in your body.
In the kidneys or guts."
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Li Hanxing couldn't help but shudder, because just thinking about the fact that there are more than a hundred pebbles in his kidneys, which are no bigger than a mobile phone, is scary.
"So I have quit smoking now, and I don't dare to boil tap water to drink because the water quality in my home is generally hard, which makes it easy for people in my home to get stones." Yin En said seriously: "Of course.
It’s impossible to quit smoking after quitting smoking, so I have been smoking e-cigarettes recently. However, because industry teacher Luo Mingdeng also started to enter the e-cigarette industry, e-cigarettes almost ended immediately.”
Zhang Jingxu also smiled and said: "That's not because there are too many problems with e-cigarettes themselves. Now we can't guarantee that they can really do no harm to the human body. Of course, the more important thing is that e-cigarettes do not have to pay tobacco taxes.
, and tobacco tax can be said to be the highest tax rate in the world."
As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Liu Xing suddenly remembered that America had reported a few months ago that e-cigarettes can cause a new type of lung inflammation, but people with this disease basically gathered in the same area, and
This area seems to have been closed off for some ulterior reason.
If combined with what America has done before, this matter will be very interesting. Maybe e-cigarettes are just a scapegoat.
However, in the module of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, everything is possible. Maybe those e-cigarettes are really the culprit. After all, in addition to being a substitute for cigarettes, e-cigarettes also have the attribute of being "trendy".
goods".
As we all know, many young people nowadays like to chase trends to make themselves look different and superior to others, so there are many so-called trendy goods who stand up and cut leeks. All they have to do is come up with a special concept.
As a result, e-cigarettes, which are neither cigarettes, but are very similar to cigarettes, have become a trendy item in the minds of many students. After all, for those students who pursue distinction, they originally want to prove it by smoking.
I, as a result, now have e-cigarettes, which can be compared with cigarettes, but are not completely rejected by parents and teachers.
