Chapter 227 Fighting tigers and flies together, don't let maggots go
"One?" Lin Ge glanced at Xu Yun: "Brother, are you sure it's one? Not a box?"
Xu Yun nodded: "As far as I know, Behike cigars were only planned to be produced in 2004, and only one hundred boxes were produced a year. Twenty thousand dollars a box is not expensive, right? The orders for these cigars seem to be booming.
Already."
"It's so popular. Fortunately, not many of China's corrupt officials have much interest in or addiction to cigars. If they had, I guess the best cigars in the world wouldn't be able to go anywhere else." Lin Ge laughed and took out a cigar.
Zhi took a whiff.
"Dignitaries from many countries reserve this cigar through the Cuban government. Anyway, all the reservations are sold instantly every year. After changing hands, the price basically reaches 40,000 US dollars per box. I estimate that this cigarette will double within two years.
Up to 80,000 US dollars per box." Xu Yundao said.
"What you told me is the cheapest government procurement price?" Lin Ge said in surprise: "Then I really want to try it."
Xu Yundao said: "If you don't understand cigars, don't waste them. These can be sold for money, and to maintain their value, they are already state-owned property."
Lin Ge shook his head helplessly: "Brother, you are a bit too harsh... not really."
"Why not?" Xu Yun said.
"Then let me smoke this one next to me and try it." Lin Ge put down the box of sky-high-priced cigars and then picked up the box next to him.
Xu Yun took a look: "This looks like a Chigar diamond chain cigar bar. Please open it and take a look."
Lin Ge opened the cigarette box and saw ten cigars. He was shocked at the time: "Oh my god, these cigars are studded with diamonds? Damn it...is this smoking or wasting money?"
Diamond cigar, diamond is like a snake, coiled around the whole cigar.
"If we only look at the value of the cigars, the cigar you are holding in your hand happens to be the most expensive cigar in the world." Xu Yundao said: "I have heard that although there are only ten cigars in a box, it costs 50,000 euros.
Where’s the box?”
"This box of cigars costs nearly half a million yuan?" Lin Ge thought about it and put it down: "I guess, luckily I didn't smoke it. Isn't this one cigar equivalent to a year's salary of a town committee secretary?"
"Who are you scolding? The town committee secretary only earns 50,000 yuan a year?" Xu Yun said.
Lin Ge said seriously: "Originally, at least that's how much the country provides. What others do is their 'skill'."
Xu Yun snorted coldly, yes, this cigarette can equal a year's salary of a town party secretary, but in China, there are many town party secretaries who can easily afford this level of smoking.
What about cigars?
The central government kept swatting tigers and swatting flies, and all kinds of tigers and flies were driven to half-death. This was indeed a good thing, and the people clapped their hands and applauded.
But after all, those tigers are characters in "legends" that ordinary people cannot see or touch.
What the common people can clearly see are the leaders around them.
The more the sky is high and the emperor is far away from the sesame little official, the more he should be rectified.
Fight the tigers and flies together, but don’t let go of the maggots!
"Brother, look, there are gems on this cigarette box. You are well-informed. What kind of cigarette is this?" Lin Ge picked up a box of silver cigarettes. Yes, ordinary cigarettes, not cigars.
The cigarette box packaging is made of platinum and is inlaid with a diamond and a ruby.
"Good luck." Xu Yun said lightly: "The oldest cigarette company in the world. The tobacco leaves are made from the highest quality tobacco leaves in the American Empire and made in the traditional American way."
"I just want to know how much this thing is worth." Lin Ge said: "When I came to his house, my normal views were subverted! Damn it..."
"How much do you think the expensive outer packaging and the world's top tobacco leaves are worth?" Xu Yun smiled.
Lin Ge grinned and said, "It's not more expensive than that diamond cigar, right?"
Xu Yun nodded: "It seems a bit expensive, one hundred thousand dollars per box."
"Fuck...smoking this cigarette is much better than the director in China who was sentenced to ninety-five for smoking." Lin Ge said: "Actually, that guy has done a good thing, at least there is no one in China with more than 100 yuan.
The cigarettes are gone, and now the leaders don’t throw cigarettes on the table during meetings.”
Xu Yundao said: "I guess that idiot who smokes the Nine-Five Master doesn't smoke the Nine-Five every day. It's probably because there were so many people in the meeting and he deliberately threw the cigarette on the table to show his identity. In fact, the leaders also have pretentiousness.
Thoughts and desires.”
Lin Ge strongly agreed with this: "Those 'cousins' all have this mentality. If the leader's watch is not worth hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, would he be embarrassed to go out for a meeting? His colleagues will definitely laugh at him."
"Nowadays, everyone is more low-key than the other." Xu Yundao said: "Not to mention watches, cars, suits, etc., they are not very good, just because they are afraid of the bright eyes of the people."
"No wonder many people say that in Yanjing, you can look down on those who drive Audi A8, but you must never provoke those who drive Audi A6." Lin Ge mocked.
Xu Yun waved his hand to him: "Don't touch those cigarettes. We will arrange for someone to deal with them when the time comes. We will eventually cash them in and take them back."
"After you told me the price, I really didn't dare to smoke it. Even the cheapest one is five hundred dollars a pop. I really don't have that luxury." Lin Ge shook his head.
"It's not that bad. There are cheap ones down there, some cost more than three hundred dollars each." Xu Yundao said, "But you don't know how to smoke. It would be a pity to waste it."
Lin Ge shrugged his shoulders, took a half-opened bottle of XO, poured two glasses and brought them to Xu Yun.
It's always okay to have a drink, and they won't get drunk anyway. Now that all the work is left to the legend himself, it's rare for them to relax.
Legend came back from the study with his laptop. Seeing both of them drinking, he also went to get a cup.
"You want to drink too?" Lin Ge asked.
Legend was stunned for a moment. Isn't it possible? This is his home, and this wine is his wine. Doesn't he even have the right to drink his own wine now?
"I know what you are thinking, but don't forget, nothing belongs to you. Not even this bottle is yours." Lin Ge was not so stingy that he refused to give Legend a sip of wine, he still gave it to him.
The legend fell.
Legend felt aggrieved, but could not utter a single word.
"Anyway, I'm telling you, don't treat this place as your home." Lin Ge reminded him: "Also, don't drink too much. If your head is not clear, there will be no one to help you do things. If you want to drink, you can drink first.
Everything that needs to be done is sorted out.”
Legend nodded and said cautiously: "I understand."
"You know, then do your best." Lin Ge crossed his legs and continued to drink. This top-quality XO tasted delicious. It smelled sweet and had a soft taste in the mouth. It was different from ordinary bad wine.
Although Xu Yun and Lin Ge were both drinking, they knew in their hearts that their situation was not safe.
After all, this is the American Empire, there are dangers all around, and the legendary people will never give up.
It's just that this is a wealthy area, and the security here is different from that of some ordinary people's places in the city. It's also different from the Chinese and black areas where security is more chaotic. It gives people a relatively safe feeling here.
The superficial relaxation of Xu Yun and Lin Ge does not mean that they are truly relaxed.
Legend will always be inefficient under strong pressure, so Xu Yun and Lin Ge gave him enough space to solve the things they needed.
The relaxed environment did make Legend calm down a lot. Although he still expected the human shield to save him, his mood was not as nervous as before.
Legend was sorting out the detailed list of all his assets in Los Angeles while drinking his favorite X0. If it weren't for Xu Yun and Lin Ge beside him, he would have even had the illusion that he had entered heaven.
If he can get rid of the troubles of Xu Yun and Lin Ge this time, he can live a life like heaven.
Legend has now listed the details of their family's investments in Los Angeles. Various fixed asset investments and various securities and liquid asset investments add up to a huge amount.
Just say that his house costs more than 10 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to nearly 100 million yuan, and their family has seventeen properties in Los Angeles! Yes, seventeen! They are all large and valuable mansions, the cheapest
One of them is worth more than six million US dollars.
