I am a policeman

Chapter 465 Tobacco Tycoon
"Forget it, let's wait and see the situation. If it's a false alarm, it won't be worth the loss." Holding the phone in silence for a while, the customs chief put the phone back.

Just like what Jian Huizhen said, the reason why he let Zhong Jialing help the Lida Trading Group to smuggle is to wait for a good opportunity to maximize the benefits.

It now appears that the time has come.

The rampant black smoke attracted the attention of the Hong Kong government, and Lei Weidong, a ruthless man, was sent out.

For the fierce Lei Weidong, no one in the circle knows that he is cruel and greedy. If he is caught by such a person as a handle, even if he is not swallowed, he will peel off a layer of skin.

It can be said that Li Da's mastermind is dangerous. If it is an ordinary policeman, with the strength of the South China Tobacco Company, even if they are involved, they will only be fined three drinks.

After being reminded by myself, you may not be punished even if you are punished.

But Lei Weidong is different.

If Lei Weidong really seized the handle of South China Tobacco Company, he would remind himself that it is not an exaggeration to say that he saved the other party's life, it is a great favor.

It is also profit maximization.

But if it was just Zhong Jialing moaning about nothing, it would be a bit...

Just wait! ——
"Adong, this is all the information on the South China Tobacco Company." Lei Weidong, who had reached an agreement with Yang Jianhua, had just returned home when he saw Yazi standing in the living room waiting for him.

"How, is the opponent strong? Is it a wealthy family?" After looking at the information in his hand, Lei Weidong nodded and walked towards the study.

"Very strong, don't look at the fact that the Yuan family isn't among the top ten giants, it's because they keep a low profile and their strength is no worse than any other giants, of course it's much worse than ours, so it's easy to deal with them.

It's just that the Yuan family's connections are too deep, and they have very close relationships with the Li family, Lin family, Bao family, and the Hong Kong government.

Entering the study room, closing the study door, Yazi said solemnly.

"Really, so powerful." Hearing this, Lei Weidong opened the documents in his hand and read them carefully.

As we all know, the tobacco industry is highly profitable. Even with high tobacco taxes, tobacco companies can make annual profits in the order of hundreds of millions.

In the Mainland!
All tobacco companies are state-controlled.Private companies are not allowed to operate tobacco business, the reason is that tobacco profits are too high, the state will not give it to individuals.

But in Xiangjiang, the situation is just the opposite. The largest tobacco company, South China Tobacco Company, which is a private enterprise, acts as an agent for many brands of cigarettes, including the famous Marlboro,

South China Tobacco Company has almost monopolized the entire Hong Kong tobacco market. Of course, this has also brought huge profits to the company.

The owner of South China Tobacco Company is surnamed Yuan, and he is a very low-key rich man. The assets of the Yuan family in Xiangjiang are no less than that of the old tycoons such as the Li family and the Huo family. They are the most undervalued family in Xiangjiang.

The founder of the family, Mr. Yuan Lao, was born in 1911 and is an entrepreneur older than Li Chaoren and Zheng Daheng.

Although Mr. Yuan came from a poor family, he was smart, quick to learn, and quick-eyed. When he was 14 years old, he went to a printing factory as an apprentice.

Ordinary people become apprentices, at most they become masters after birth, and work for a lifetime.

Mr. Yuan is different.

When he was an apprentice, he not only worked hard to learn a good craft, but also paid attention to the production and sales models of the printing factory, worked hard to expand his network, and met many friends in the circle.

Six years later, 20-year-old Mr. Yuan opened a small printing factory. With the help of his friends, he soon became bigger and stronger and became one of the best local printing factories.

Of course, close to the printing factory, Mr. Yuan can at most become an ordinary rich man, and it is difficult to achieve class leap.

But fate is so arrogant.

In 37, the Japanese army invaded China and the Anti-Japanese War broke out.

Before the outbreak of the war, Mr. Yuan’s printing factory hoarded a large amount of paper due to an accident. After the outbreak of the war, many printing factories closed their doors to avoid the battlefield.

However, Mr. Yuan took the risk to open the door for business, and as a result, he made a lot of money and succeeded in making a fortune.

Later, the price of paper, which was in short supply, skyrocketed, more than ten times in a short period of time, which made Mr. Yuan unexpectedly achieve a class jump.

At that time, Magic City was the economic center of Asia. After the situation gradually stabilized, Mr. Yuan, who entered the upper class, found that cigarettes had become a necessity for many rich people, and he believed that the tobacco industry had an amazing prospect.

So he had the idea of ​​managing cigarettes. In 1942, he used his relationship to set up a cigarette factory in Shanghai, and obtained the agency right of Gaole cigarettes, which achieved great success.

It can be said that Mr. Yuan's success depends not only on luck, but also on his keen market awareness.

In 1946, due to the chaos in Shanghai, Mr. Yuan had to move his factory to Xiangjiang. In 1950, he established the South China Tobacco Company and developed into the largest tobacco company in Hong Kong.

When it comes to cigarette brands in Xiangjiang, Marlboro has to be mentioned.

In the Xiangjiang movies that year, Marlboro appeared very frequently, and Marlboro was the best-selling cigarette in Xiangjiang.This brand is represented by Mr. Yuan Lao.

Although the South China Tobacco Company only controls the tobacco market in one city in Xiangjiang, the profits of tobacco are too high. Even if most of it needs to be distributed, it will bring huge benefits to the Yuan family.

Not to mention that this profit lasted for decades. Using their deep connections, the Yuan family has been monopolizing the tobacco market in Xiangjiang, and the assets they have accumulated are astonishing. They have become one of the richest people in Xiangjiang.

The success in the tobacco industry gave Mr. Yuan the funds to expand his business empire. In Xiangjiang, real estate was the best industry, so he turned to real estate.

It has to be said that Mr. Yuan's keen market sense brought him the second high-return project besides tobacco.

Hongkong Land is one of the oldest real estate groups in Asia.

It was first founded by four people from Eagle Country, and it has a large real estate reserve in Hong Kong, including commercial buildings, commercial streets, luxury houses, etc.

It once became the largest real estate company in Hong Kong and one of the world's top 500 companies.The shares in the land alone are worth tens of billions.

Although Mr. Yuan's shares in Hongkong Land are not many, only [-]%, but this share has increased his net worth by several billion, making him the top rich man in Xiangjiang.

Mr. Yuan started to enter a semi-retired state in the early 80s, and handed over his business to his grandson Yuan Zhuguo, the father of the eldest prince. "

"Three generations are still rich, the Yuan family is indeed remarkable." Seeing the information, Mr. Yuan handed over the business to his grandson Yuan Zhuguo ten years ago, and Lei Weidong envied him.

that's nice!

The third generation of the Yuan family did not pull their hips. When the second generation died early, Yuan Zhuguo, as the third generation of the Yuan family, took over the business empire from his grandfather.

Like his grandfather, Yuan Zhuguo also has super business ability. He went to the United States to study in the early years, and later returned to Hong Kong to take over the family business. While managing the family business in an orderly manner, he also expanded outwards and annexed one of the largest newspapers in Xiangjiang. One Star Island News.

Mr. Hu, the founder of Sing Tao News, is also considered a legend.

He is not only the founder of Panacea Oil, but also entered the newspaper industry. At his peak, like Lei Weidong, he owned dozens of newspapers and was the largest newspaper tycoon in Xiangjiang.

It's a pity that I'm a hero and a bastard. Mr. Hu is good at everything, but he didn't choose a successor. After his son died in a plane crash, Mr. Hu handed over the business to his daughter.

As a result, my daughter is the kind of prodigal son who insists on expressing herself despite her lack of ability. After losing all the assets of the family, she desperately wants to make a comeback. In the end, she encounters a financial crisis and has to sell the family business. The acquisition of Sing Tao Newspapers at an extremely low price gave the family an Adam's apple in the news industry.

If it's just these things, Lei Weidong is not afraid.

With Lei Weidong's assets and authority in the entertainment industry, Mount Tai is overwhelming, and it is very easy to convince the Yuan family. The key is Mr. Yuan. His connections are too rich.

Mr. Yuan, as a Chinese, has monopolized the tobacco market in Xiangjiang, where the Ying people are the masters, for decades, earning a lot of profits. Everyone knows that his family has a close relationship with the Ying people, and even his white gloves make money for the Ying people. money.

The relationship network formed by decades of interest relations is constantly being cut and messed up. Let alone smuggling, it is the eldest prince of the South China Tobacco Company in the movie, killing people crazily in order to silence them.

The result is estimated to be fined with three glasses of alcohol, and the maximum sentence is three years. After all, he only abetted, and did not do it himself. The possibility of finding a good lawyer to get rid of the crime is too great.

In addition, Mr. Yuan is also a philanthropist. After retirement, he has been living in seclusion on the roof of the tobacco company headquarters, taking care of his orchids every day.

But he did not withdraw from the arena.

Perhaps because he started his career from cigarettes, Mr. Yuan began to devote his energy to charity after retirement.

In the 83s, a charitable fund was established, and has been secretly donating anonymously. The donated projects are not only in Hong Kong, but also in the Mainland. The biggest one is the East China Flood in 1991.

In the original time and space, there was a movie called "The Night Banquet of a Rich Family", which was filmed in just four days. This movie was filmed by the Xiangjiang film and television circle at that time to raise funds for disaster relief.

After the release, all the box office was donated to the mainland.

In order to show their love, almost all the popular first- and second-tier stars in Hong Kong participated in the filming. According to statistics, more than 200 stars appeared before and after. In the history of Chinese-language movies, it is almost impossible to find a second movie with such a star lineup.

Although many celebrities only showed their faces in the movie, many people don't care about it. The only thing comparable to it is the "XX Daye".

In the original time and space, donations from all walks of life in Xiangjiang totaled 4.7 million.

At this time, because of Lei Weidong, as the richest man, he directly raised the total donation to 10 billion, which can be said to have shocked the charity world, but Mr. Yuan's donation of [-] million is also attracting attention.

Although it is said that Mr. Yuan used Anonymous when donating, it is not a secret to the wealthy people in the circle and the government departments in the Mainland.

Fortunately, Mr. Yuan has passed away.

When people leave the tea, the contacts will decline a lot.

But favors are favors.

The favor established by Mr. Yuan during his lifetime will always come out when his family is in trouble. Lei Weidong can imagine that when he starts to act against the South China Tobacco Company, there will definitely be a flock of phone calls to intercede.

There are not only rich local businessmen from Xiangjiang, friends from the police force, but also from the mainland.

"Yazi, who is the eldest prince of the Yuan family? Besides the Lida Trading Group, is there any other crime?" Lei Weidong asked after closing the document in his hand.

Different from the west that pays attention to profit, the east is based on human relationship, which Lei Weidong deeply understood when he was a salesman in his previous life.

The same product, even if your quality is better and the price is lower, if you don’t use yours, you don’t need yours.

There are certainly some monetary interests in this, but sometimes it is pure friendship.

Lei Weidong has several clients.

I don't talk about what I usually meet, I just make phone calls, and there is no interest relationship, that is, I have met a few times, and I haven't even had dinner together.

But they are willing to sell goods from Lei Weidong, and they know that Lei Weidong earns their money, but they are willing to cooperate, because cooperating with Lei Weidong is worry-free, and they are fully responsible for any quality problems.

Therefore, in the face of overwhelming love calls, it is difficult for Lei Weidong to send the eldest prince of the Yuan family to prison. It is really that Xiangjiang is too small, and there are so many rich people, so they are basically connected. Even if Lei Weidong can resist the Li family , Lin family and other rich people's face.

If Yazi's father calls, you will say that Lei Weidong will not give him face.

Unless the other party is going to die like in the movie, killing people frantically in order to silence them.

This is very possible!

In the eyes of the rich, not to mention smuggling is not a big deal, even killing and arson is not a big deal as long as it can be solved by spending money, just losing money.

If 100 million is not enough, it will be 1000 million, and if 1000 million is not enough, it will be 5000 million.

Anyway, the rich are rich, and to them, even 5000 million is not considered money.

But for ordinary citizens, let alone 5000 million, even 1000 million is something that many people will not be able to earn back in their lifetime.

People cannot be brought back to life after death, unless it is a loved one, or money can solve it, and as long as money can suffer, then the law of Xiangjiang can save people.

As long as Yuan Zhuguo was kept from knowing, with Prince Yuan's character, he might send someone to assassinate him, and if he wanted to assassinate himself, he would cross the line, so Lei Weidong wouldn't have to face anyone.

"This guy is a bastard of the second generation. Although he went to college, he is a dissolute man. He is not afraid of anything. He is definitely not a good guy, but he is far worse than the big brother of the underworld.

They mainly eat, drink and have sex, but generally do not gamble.

But big mistakes don't make small mistakes. Except for racing cars, they are women. Among the girls they date, besides spending money, there are also threats and temptations. Anyway, they used lines, but they have money.

If the people don't sue the officials and don't investigate, those girls don't sue, and we can't arrest them. " Tooth said.

"Don't make big mistakes and keep making small mistakes. You don't fear anything, and you don't fear the law!" Lei Weidong touched his beardless chin and said, "Maybe we can use it."
