Mixed in Australia to be a local tyrant

Chapter 255 Cooperative Development of Tobacco

At night, Tang Ming went back to his bedroom, locked the door, and entered Xiahe Cave.

Take out the tools from the wooden house, go to the place where the golden tree is placed and start working.

Some time ago, dozens of golden trees were felled, and they were all cut into three-meter-long logs, but the bark on some logs had not been peeled off. When he was free, he went to Xiahe Cave to peel the bark.

While working, the time passed quickly. Just after peeling the bark off a few sections of logs, it was past twelve o'clock. Tang Ming put down the tools in his hand, left Xiahe Cave, and went back to his bedroom to sleep.

The next morning, Tang Ming sent Cornelia and Big Fatty Erpang back to the Gold Coast, and he drove the helicopter back by himself.

After the helicopter landed, I got out of the helicopter, and when I walked to the door, I saw Song Qian coming.

Tang Ming stood at the door and waited for a while. Song Qian walked up to him, handed him a stack of papers, and said, "Boss, this is the information about the tobacco company that you asked me to look up for you."

Tang Ming took it, looked down, raised his head and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Song Qian smiled and said, "No trouble, boss, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"En." Tang Ming nodded, indicating that he was fine.

Song Qian left, and he returned to the house with these materials, sat in the living room and read them.

After reading it briefly, he realized that Imperial Tobacco Company is the world's top tobacco company, one of the world's top [-] tobacco companies, very powerful, has its own brand and factory in Australia, and has some understanding of Australia's tobacco policy. learn.

The tobacco tax in Australia is actually heavier than that in China, and the tobacco tax is still increasing, and the price of cigarettes is also increasing. Cigarettes worth [-] to [-] Australian dollars have become the norm.

"Thirty or forty Australian dollars are worth one or two hundred yuan in RMB. Smokers in Australia are very hard-working." Tang Ming calculated in his heart and mourned for the Australian smokers. Such a high price means a monthly income of three to four thousand Australian dollars. People can't afford it.

As for whether this policy is good or bad, it doesn't matter to him, he is not a smoker, even if he is a smoker, there is no cigarette in this world that he can't afford.

But with these materials, he had a clearer idea of ​​whether to cooperate with Imperial Tobacco.

As he ponders, Mike enters with a man in his 40s.

Mike said, "Boss, this is Mr. Kelvin, sent by Imperial Tobacco."

Tang Ming thought to himself that it was a coincidence that they sent someone over just as soon as he thought about the matter of the Imperial Tobacco Company.

And judging from the time interval between these two times, Imperial Tobacco Company attaches great importance to this matter.

Thinking about it, Tang Ming said, "Please sit down, Mr. Kelvin."

"Thank you." After thanking Tang Ming, Kelvin sat down and said, "Mr. Tang, I came here a few days ago. You were not at home that time. I'm really sorry to bother you again this time."

Tang Ming waved his hands and said, "It's okay, what is the purpose of Mr. Kelvin's coming here?"

Kelvin said: "It's like this. Our company learned about Golden Alcohol and wants to cooperate with Mr. Tang to develop a healthy tobacco."

Tang Ming asked: "Forgive me for asking, how did Mr. Kelvin and your company know about the golden alcohol, and the paper on the golden alcohol has not been published yet."

Kelvin said: "There is a gentleman in the senior management of our company who graduated from the University of Sydney. He and Professor Pei Yuanping are classmates and have a very good relationship. I got a little golden alcohol here."

"Oh, so that's the case." Only then did Tang Ming know that Pei Yuanping had studied at the University of Sydney, otherwise he would not have entered the University of Sydney.

Tang Ming then asked: "Then how does your company want to cooperate?"

Kelvin said: "Now our company has prepared two plans. The first is to establish a joint factory. Mr. Tang will invest in Gold Alcohol, and Imperial Tobacco will invest in capital, technology and factories, each with half of the shares. One is that our Imperial Tobacco Company spends money to buy the golden alcohol in Mr. Tang’s hands. We will give Mr. Tang a very high price. At the same time, we hope that Mr. Tang can sign a contract with our Imperial Tobacco Company about the gold alcohol in the tobacco company. Global development is entrusted to us only at Imperial Tobacco."

Tang Ming pondered for a while, and felt that both options were good, but he didn't know how to choose now, so he thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it."

"Excuse me, Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang can call me when you've made up your mind, and I'll leave first." Kelvin knew that the business was not done at once, and Tang Ming had great hope if he didn't directly refuse, so he gave Tang Ming another Ming left a business card and left.

Tang Ming sat in the living room and thought for a while, still didn't know how to choose, when Tony called.

Tony arrived in the United States this morning, and he called Tang Ming when he finished his work.

Tang Ming happened to be troubled by this matter, so he explained it again and asked Tony to help him think about it.

"Congratulations." Tony said something first, and then said: "In my opinion, these two plans are good, but the first plan obviously binds you to Imperial Tobacco and participates in the operation. What annoys you the most, as for the second option, they want the global development rights of Gold Alcohol in tobacco, just hand it over to them, but you have to negotiate the price and time, and you can’t always authorize it to them.”

Hearing what Tony said, Tang Ming suddenly became enlightened, and said, "Tony, why don't you kick out Imperial Tobacco, let's cooperate."

Tony refused: "Forget it, I don't want to touch the business of tobacco, oil, medicine, arms, and mining. The water of these businesses is too deep, and you can't do it with money."

Tang Ming had never been in touch with the previous few businesses, so he couldn't feel anything, but he felt the same about the mining industry. Now Gaoshan Mining Company feels that it is struggling.

Of course, this has something to do with Tang Ming offending BHP Billiton. With this industry giant as a hindrance, the future of Alpine Mining is dark.

Tang Ming said: "Okay, let's cooperate again if there are good projects in the future."

After finishing the call, Tang Ming thought for a while before going upstairs.

……

Kelvin didn't keep Tang Ming waiting, and he came over on the third day. There were several people who came with him. One of them was an old man in his 50s, Jasper Rafael, the executive vice president of Imperial Tobacco Company. , is also a classmate of Professor Pei.

Tang Ming expressed his thoughts, and Jasper Raphael agreed, but had objections to the price and authorization time.

Tang Ming asked for a price of [-] Australian dollars per kilogram of golden tree bark, and the authorization period was one year. Jasper Raphael thought the price was too expensive and the authorization period was too short. The two sides began intense negotiations.
