I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

[Popular Science Short Video Collection Series 3. ]

[Twelve, the huge profits of Huaxia Tobacco, what they smoke is not cigarettes, but military expenses! ]

[I smoke and I am proud, I earn cannons for the motherland, you don’t smoke and I don’t smoke, who will repair the broken aircraft carrier? ]

[The starlight burning from each cigarette butt is the flame of the motherland’s rejuvenation, and each lit cigarette is the gun that makes the motherland stronger. ]

[How much money can Huaxia Tobacco Bureau make if it smokes in this way? ]

[One hundred million in 40 minutes! ]

[Huaxia Tobacco pays 1.2 trillion in taxes every year, and it has to pay 33 small goals every day on average! ]

[What is the concept? ]

[As circulated on the Internet, the taxes paid by Huaxia Tobacco in a year are enough to support a year’s national defense expenditure. 】

[The taxes paid by Huaxia Tobacco every year can build 76 aircraft carriers. 】.

[So netizens often joke that if the national military budget is not enough, I will go and smoke two packs of cigarettes. 】

[And if you don’t know what gift to give during festivals, then giving a pack of cigarettes is definitely the right choice. 】

[Although the six big words "Smoking is harmful to health" are clearly printed on this cigarette box. 】

[However, there are still too many people who cannot live without tobacco. 】

[The state holds 99% of the tobacco industry. 】

[Cigarettes circulating on the market, whether domestic or foreign, must be sold by the Tobacco Bureau and are under state control. 】

[Huaxia Tobacco can become the most profitable company because it has no competitors in the domestic market, and the cost of tobacco itself is extremely low. 】

[The cost of a sixty or seventy Huazi and a ten-yuan cigarette is about the same, only a few yuan. 】

【Huazi is expensive because its tax is about 40.23】

【The more expensive the cigarettes you smoke, the more tax you pay. 】

【One tenth of the national fiscal revenue each year comes from tobacco taxes. 】

【If working in the system is a stable job, then working in the Tobacco Bureau is a golden job. As long as you can get in, you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. 】

【In addition, the Chinese people have a huge demand for cigarettes. There are about 350 million smokers in my country. 】

【If the production and control of tobacco are delegated to private enterprises, the harm caused by tobacco is definitely no less than drugs. 】

【So it must be controlled by the state. 】

【And it is impossible for my country to fully control smoking in the short term. 】

【On the one hand, the basic base of smokers in my country is too large. Once smoking control is implemented, the formal channels for purchasing cigarettes will be reduced, and various smuggled cigarettes will follow. 】

[This will inevitably disrupt the entire tobacco market. 】

[On the other hand, China Tobacco Company has more than 500,000 employees. The result of tobacco control will lead to the crisis of unemployment of hundreds of thousands of people, and the speed of updating and iteration of military weapons will also decrease. 】

[...]

[Faced withTobacco is such a profitable thing, naturally some people want to get a piece of it. 】

【So, many people tried to make fake cigarettes, and unexpectedly, they really succeeded! 】

【There is a coastal town in Fujian Province, called Yunxiao County. 】

【This is a small county with a population of only 400,000, but it has become a major counterfeit cigarette manufacturer in the world. It not only contracts the domestic counterfeit cigarette market, but also monopolizes nearly 80% of the tobacco market in Europe and the United States. 】

【How did this town do it? 】

【In fact, the story of this town and tobacco began in the Qing Dynasty, but at that time they specialized in making cigarettes. 】

【On the eve of liberation, there were seven cigarette factories in the town, with nearly a thousand employees, and it was a famous tobacco processing base in the province. 】

【Later, the state began to control cigarettes, and the seven cigarette factories were forced to close. 】

【But the tobacco industry is the most important economic pillar and employment channel of the town. The disappearance of the tobacco factory means that many people have lost their jobs. 】

【In order to make a living, the locals jointly bought a Huazi cigarette machine. 】

【This is the beginning of the journey of making fake cigarettes. 】

【Since the cost of fake cigarettes is very low, and the locals have accumulated enough experience in making cigarettes, fake cigarettes soon circulate in the market. 】

【The people of the entire county have made a fortune by fake cigarettes. 】

【They made a lot of money, and even smuggled fake cigarettes overseas, which were widely welcomed by foreigners. 】

【After these fake cigarettes flowed into the European and American markets, the best-selling cigarettes in Europe and the United States were no longer popular, and even had no room for survival. 】

【European and American tobacco companies are very anxious. Are they going to go bankrupt? 】

[Their tax bureau was also very surprised by this. Before, tobacco tax revenue had been very stable, but now it suddenly lost most of its tax revenue sources. 】

[In a hurry, they thought of asking Foberle to help. 】

[After years of investigation, Foberle did not get any results. 】

[Finally in 2005, he finally seized a case of smuggling fake cigarettes worth 1 million. 】

[Foberle then knew why they had been investigating fruitlessly. 】

[It turned out that this gang of criminals was extremely cunning. In order to avoid inspection, they disguised cigarettes as various toys or wicker boxes and secretly sold them to the streets and alleys of the United States. 】

[This case caused a huge sensation in China and the United States at the time. 】

[Many Chinese people said that it was the first time they heard the name of this county. 】

【The criminal gang seized by the US police has 62 suspects who are all Chinese, and all the fake cigarettes are from my country. 】

【To be able to monopolize the US tobacco industry in a short period of time, there must be a huge factory behind it. 】

【What shocked everyone was that the manufacturer of these fake cigarettes turned out to be a small county in China. 】

【This county has produced nearly 20years. 】

[During this period, the tobacco sales volume in Yunxiao County reached hundreds of billions every year, accounting for 95% of the Chinese counterfeit cigarette market, and in terms of making counterfeit cigarettes, they did a better job than genuine cigarettes. 】

[Putian goods are just a little brother in front of him! 】

[In fact, their technology has also undergone several upgrades. 】

[At first, they used the lowest grade tobacco leaf synthetic paper, and then used chemical materials to mix the taste of genuine cigarettes. 】

[But these kinds of cigarettes were too inferior, and they themselves were too disdainful to make them. 】

[So they made improved grafted cigarettes, which, as the name suggests, grafted the tobacco of cheap brands with the cigarette holders of expensive brands together. 】

[But the people of Yunxiao County were not satisfied with this. 】

[They came up with a more advanced method, which was to change the soup but not the medicine. 】

【They bought genuine cigarettes at a high price, unpacked them and put them into the packaging of their own design, calling it an upgrade of the packaging, and wrote on the packaging that it was for internal use only. 】

【Many people really believed it. 】

【The heavy 9 cigarettes on the market cost 800 yuan per pack, but Yunxiao people replaced it with exquisite iron box packaging and sold it directly at a price of 3,000 yuan, and the profit instantly tripled! 】

【Such a high price can also be sought after by smokers, and even reached the point where supply could not meet demand. 】

【In order to make the packaging more exquisite, they even hired professional designers to tailor it according to the positioning of the cigarettes, which looks more than one level higher than the original simple packaging. 】

【The price also rose accordingly. 】

【It is very popular in the market. 】

【Most people will not doubt whether it is true or false when they see such an exquisite gift box. 】

【Yunxiao also launched a blue-packaged Yuxi, and even the staff of the cigarette factory praised it for its beauty, and even followed suit and launched a blue-packaged version of the genuine Yuxi. 】

【It is rare for a genuine product to imitate a fake. 】

The ancients were stunned when they saw so much money!

Their eyes were wide open!

"Fuck! This thing is so profitable, why didn't I find it before?"

"Fuck! Folks, come and pull the things in the field, I will show you how to grow something good!"

987

"Got it, now I'll start a cigarette factory, make money, I want to be the richest man!"

"Hey, while the court hasn't recovered yet, plant two crops of tobacco, and wait for the big fortune later."

"I know how to grow tobacco, is there any landlord who wants me to grow crops?"

"......"

..........................................................................

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was breathing fast.

My goodness, this is too much silver!

The money earned in a year is enough for the entire court's military expenses for a year!

Then, as long as the tobacco in the country is controlled by the court, there is no need to worry about military expenses in the future! !

This is good for the country and the people... No, it is a great thing for the country.

Li Shimin was worried about not being able to make money from the pockets of the nobles and gentry, and here comes the opportunity!

"Everyone, think carefully for me, how can I control the tobacco in the country in the hands of the court?" Li Shimin asked anxiously.

...........................................................................

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous!

Money, money, money.

It's all money!

After seeing the huge profits from tobacco, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked down on the peasants' melons and dates!

Even though they harvested grain every year, the treasury was not full.

The key is that the people were not living well.

He was worried.

But now, Zhu Yuanzhang has figured it out. The correct way to make money is to make money from whoever has money!

The court has money, the treasury is full, and it can in turn benefit the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly: "We should pick out a few fertile lands from the royal family's land, plant tobacco and make money from the rich!".
