Chapter 187: Cigarettes for Flying Dragons (Additional update, please vote for me)
“One tobacco leaf or several broken tobacco leaves will not affect the taste of the cigar at all. Master Russell, I do not accept your accusation!”
Faced with Russell’s scolding, Southco frowned and didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong.
“We produce Yulong cigars, which are high-quality tobacco exclusively for nobles. From the very beginning, its quality requirements far exceed those of any kind of tobacco. Sosco, haven’t you realized your mistake yet? !”
“I’m right. As long as it doesn’t affect the taste or appearance, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using shredded leaves to roll cigars!” Sosco retorted, “On the contrary, using shredded leaves is more cost-effective. That’s My utmost devotion to the Lord Baron!”
“Very good, very good!”
The reason didn’t make sense, and Russell didn’t bother to explain it anymore. He just said coldly: “I will ask my father to change the person in charge of the cigar factory.”
Sosco also sneered: “Please!”
When Russell turned around and left with Charles, he shook his sleeves again and said loudly: “I fought for the Fluorescent Mushroom family until I lost my arms and legs. I am worthy of my loyalty to the Baron. Everyone knows it!”
Seeing that the cigarette rolling workers were stunned, he immediately yelled: “Everything you look at is working for me. If anyone dares to be lazy, I will whip him to death!”
Outside a cigar factory.
Russell got on his horse, followed closely by Charles, who consoled him: “Sir, please calm down, it’s not worth being angry with this kind of person.”
“Angry? Why are you angry?” Russell has calmed down his emotions. “Sosco fought for the family until he was disabled, so what if he contradicts me a few words? I’m just angry that he ignored the quality of Gu Yulong’s cigars. This is hurting me. The sign!”
Southco was not Russell’s guy.
Russell didn’t have to be angry about his attitude towards Russell, but Southco cut corners and damaged the Yulong Cigar brand. This was definitely something Russell could not allow.
So after arriving at Fluorescent Castle, Russell didn’t waste any time and directly pulled Baron Roman into the study: “Father, the cigar factory needs to change the person in charge.”
“Huh?” Baron Roman didn’t know why.
“Sosco is cutting corners. I asked for a whole tobacco leaf to be used to roll the cigar, but he asked the workers to use broken blades to piece it together. This is completely destroying the Yulong Cigar brand.” Russell said, “And in other aspects, the workmanship is not enough. Exquisite, it would be a disaster if a Yulong cigar like this comes on the market!”
“You mean, Sosco rolls cigars with shredded leaves?”
“Yes.”
“Is there any obstacle to this?” Baron Roman asked lightly, “As long as the taste is similar, it doesn’t matter whether the broken leaves or the whole leaves are the same. Russell, you must know that the cost of whole tobacco leaves is indeed too high. ”
“No, father, you don’t realize the problem?” Russell frowned.
Baron Roman was noncommittal: “Can you tell me why whole tobacco leaves must be used?”
For a moment, Russell felt a little tired. He never expected that his efforts in building momentum at Bluebird Castle still failed to make Baron Roman realize that the high quality of Yulong cigars was the reason why they could be sold at high prices.
but.
Then I thought about it, maybe it was the people here who had no idea about the brand that made it easy for him to make Yulong Cigars famous.
If everyone could understand it at a glance, small businesses and vendors would have already started telling stories and playing with brands.
So he calmly told Baron Roman about the brand value of Yulong Cigars: “Telling a good story and asking grandpa to praise it are not enough to stabilize the Yulong Cigar brand… There will definitely be counterfeiters in the future, but if we Cigarettes are rolled with whole tobacco leaves and made with delicate handwork…”
All in all, it is necessary to establish Yulong Cigar, each one is a work of ingenuity, so that Yulong Cigar can be resounded throughout the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
He even left the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy and headed towards the entire Longmian Continent.
Finally, Russell said: “Father, you don’t want the cigars specially provided for you in the future to be made casually with just a few broken leaves, rolled tobacco of unknown quality, right? So the person in charge of the cigar factory, It must be replaced, his thinking is too backward.”
“Not only that, father, I plan to replace one of my people to be the person in charge of the cigar factory to ensure the quality of Yulong cigars. In addition, if possible, I plan to recruit a group of girl cigarette workers to work in the cigar factory.”
“Girl cigarette maker?” Baron Roman’s eyes lit up.
Russell smiled and said: “Yes, from now on, the cigars exclusively for your father, as well as the cigars exclusively for the nobles, will be made by girl cigarette makers.”
“It’s a good gimmick.” Baron Roman patted his son’s shoulder hard and said seriously, “Then it’s decided. I will arrange for Southco to work in other industries. Russell, you have the courage to operate Yulong Cigar.”
Baron Roman smiled happily and said, “Let me see how far you can make Yulong Cigar.”
Had lunch at Fluorescent Castle.
In the afternoon, Sosco was transferred from the cigar factory by Baron Roman, and a cigar technician temporarily replaced the person in charge.
Then wait for the person arranged by Russell to come over.
“Sir, who are you going to arrange to be the person in charge of the cigar factory?” Charles asked with concern.
“Old Hans.”
“Well, Old Hans, I hope he can do well.” Charles said, he and Old Hans had been secretly competing with each other.
Especially in the art of flattering, he meets his opponent.
Entering the cigar factory, Russell called all the cigar technicians over: “All previous cigar production has been stopped and reorganized. Now everyone can take a half-day holiday. Tomorrow I will send someone to take charge of production and formulate standardized cigar making standards. “
Southco was transferred, and the cigarette factory workers lost their backbone. They could only follow Russell’s arrangements and temporarily put down their work.
“Sir, keeping these cigars is a waste. How about we…” Charles chuckled.
The meaning is self-evident.
They were all cigars, and he didn’t care if they were rolled with crushed leaves. You know, even Mr. Merlin said Yulong cigars were good, and ordinary people couldn’t smoke them.
“Have someone seal up this batch of inferior products, send half to the Fluorescent Castle, and take half away with us.” Russell was not polite.
He himself didn’t like smoking, but using cigars to reward his subordinates or entertain guests was a good thing.
And he already has a complete plan in mind.
Now, he will first produce the top-quality Yulong cigars to occupy the high-end market of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame. When counterfeit cigars come out, he will also produce second-class cigars, and even tinker with ordinary cigarettes.
From magic cigars to filter cigarettes.
From the high-end market to the mass market, we strive to catch them all.
“Cigarettes, these are huge profits… The cigarettes back home on Earth are exclusively sold by the government. The tax collected from smokers every year can build dozens of aircraft carriers!”
Russell is not greedy either.
In the future, cigarettes will sweep across the entire Grand Duchy of Shadowflame, and smokers will pile up a two-legged flying dragon for him every year. That will be enough!
