Chapter 258: Semi-Elixir Cigarettes
"As expected of the Morgan family, I don't have any other conditions!" Hou Xiaoge smiled and shook his head.
"Of course. In America, there are few things that the Morgan family wants to do but cannot accomplish." Peter raised his eyebrows and said confidently.
"Okay! Then tell me the price of these things.
Mr. Peter, you also know that these are strategic materials. We don't have any other conditions attached, and you don't need to transport them overseas. I hope Mr. Peter can give you a reasonable price." Hou Xiaoge went straight to the point.
"No, no, no, Mr. David, these materials, even with the amount you mentioned later, are worth only four million U.S. dollars at most, which is considered a medium-sized business!
What I am interested in is the big business worth more than tens of millions of US dollars that Mr. David mentioned. Such big business is worthy of my interest.
I wonder if Mr. David can tell me about this business, and I wonder if Mr. David thinks I am qualified enough!"
Peter handed Hou Xiaoge a cigar, then lit one for himself and leaned back on the sofa, asking with a smile.
"Thank you, I'm not used to cigars!"
Hou Xiaoge took out a small wooden box from his pocket, took out a cigarette made of semi-spiritual-grade tobacco leaves cultivated in the space and medicinal herbs for clearing the lungs and soothing the throat, and lit it.
The cigarettes were made with tobacco paper purchased by Hou Xiaoge, and Ling'er rolled them after the semi-spiritual-grade tobacco leaves matured recently.
The cigarette contains a semi-magic medicine. Taking a puff can refresh your mind and has a nourishing effect on your throat and lungs.
As the grinding wheel of the rotary lighter gently turns and rubs the flint, a flame is produced to ignite the cigarette, and instantly a faint fragrance mixed with a hint of medicinal aroma spreads.
Reagan and Peter, who were standing by, just took a few sniffs of the secondhand smoke and felt their brains become clearer and their noses felt comfortable.
"Oh! Mr. David, can you tell me what brand of cigarettes you smoke? It's really amazing." Peter approached Hou Xiaoge with a shocked look on his face and took a few deep sniffs of the cigarette.
Looking at the two people sniffing around him like puppies, Hou Xiaoge smiled in his heart.
“Mr. Peter, Manager Reagan, this was given to me by our leader. It is made of carefully cultivated medicinal herbs and tobacco leaves.
This cigarette does not cause any harm to the human body after smoking, but has a moisturizing effect.
You two are my big customers, would you like to taste it?" Hou Xiaoge explained to the two people with a smile while taking out a mahogany box from his pocket.
There were only six finger-long cigarettes left in the mahogany box with a yellow satin bottom, but at this moment they were particularly tempting to the two people next to it.
"It's amazing. My brain feels a lot more relaxed after smelling this cigarette. Of course I have to try such a good thing." Peter took the cigarette with a smile.
"Mr. Peter, how about I try it first?" Reagan said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, it's just a cigarette. I don't believe Mr. David can hurt me." Peter laughed and lit a cigarette.
"Of course, we are all serious cooperation, how could I harm Mr. Peter? If the managers are worried, don't smoke.
Because the production of this cigarette is very small and the production is difficult, only a few people in our Yanhuang League can enjoy it. A box is worth ten thousand grams of gold." Hou Xiaoge took back the box and said angrily.
Reagan knew that a box of ten cigarettes was worth a fortune, so he quickly took one out of the box.
Even the female assistant standing next to Peter was eager to try it, but Hou Xiaoge didn't want to give this good thing to anyone casually, as he would sell it for money in the future!
After all, a plant of semi-spiritual medicinal tobacco plus some top-grade medicinal materials watered by spiritual spring water only costs 500 boxes.
Hou Xiaoge doesn't want to sell semi-spiritual medicine at a bargain price, as he has to use most of it himself. If he wants to sell it, the product made from one plant can't be sold without several million US dollars.
Some friends may think it is a lot, but many people may not have seen tobacco. A tobacco plant can grow nearly two meters high and can produce one kilogram of tobacco leaves.
"It's so comfortable, I feel like my soul has entered heaven, and my entire mouth and lungs seem to be massaged and cleansed." Peter was reluctant to spit out the cigarette until he had smoked half of it, then put it out with a reluctant look on his face.
Reagan was more cunning. Seeing that Peter had smoked it but nothing happened, he was about to light it up and try it himself, but Peter snatched it away.
"Manager Reagan, please give me this cigarette! I'll give you one thousand dollars." Peter said to Reagan with a happy face while smelling the cigarette.
"Forehead!"
"All right!"
Originally Reagan wanted to say that he wanted to try it too, but the temptation of one thousand dollars was too great and he had to succumb to the money.
After all, a cigarette worth one thousand dollars can only be smoked for a few minutes, which is equivalent to smoking a Cadillac for a few minutes. He couldn't bear to think about it.
"Mr David, I'm sorry to make you laugh.
Do you have more cigarettes like this? I'll buy them for $10,000 a box." After sniffing for a while, Peter reluctantly put the cigarette away and came to his senses and asked Hou Xiaoge.
Hou Xiaoge was just watching Reagan and his assistant smelling the second-hand smoke, and Peter who was enjoying the cigarette.
He even suspected that these people were taking drugs. The expression on this guy's face was exactly the same as what Hou Xiaoge saw on TV in later generations.
If Hou Xiaoge hadn't known that there was nothing wrong with his cigarettes, he would have suspected that he had tampered with them.
After all, he only felt refreshed, his mouth was cool, and his lungs were slightly relaxed when he smoked this cigarette. It was far from being as exaggerated as some people.
In fact, Hou Xiaoge overlooked one point. He was a non-human who had broken the limits of the human body, drank spiritual spring water as water, and took semi-spiritual medicine every now and then. How could he be the same as ordinary people?
It is a semi-spiritual medicine, and it is also beyond the existence of ordinary medicinal materials. It contains a trace of extraordinary energy and is beneficial to the human body. Several of them are ordinary people, so this situation is naturally an instinctive reaction of the body.
Seeing Peter's face become slightly rosy and he looked much more energetic after smoking, Hou Xiaoge gradually figured out the reason.
"Mr. Peter, I'm sorry. These cigarettes were given to me by the alliance leader. My monthly quota is only three boxes, and I usually can't bear to smoke them." Hou Xiaoge said with a wry smile.
Of course, there is some meaning in this, which is to get extra money.
"Then could Mr. David introduce your leader to me?
I think this cigarette has a very good market prospect. Compared with this cigarette, any other cigarette in the world is rubbish.
I have smoked marijuana before, but it is harmful to the human body and its effects are not as good as this cigarette.
After smoking this cigarette, I feel comfortable all over and my brain feels especially clear. You should know how important a clear mind is for a businessman.
So I think we can make this cigarette into a world-class luxury product, and your alliance will also have countless wealth. "Peter leaned forward excitedly and gestured.
"Mr. Peter, I guess you're disappointed. I don't usually see the leader, and he's the only one who contacts me.
Moreover, the leader of the Tobacco Alliance said that the medicinal herbs and tobacco leaves in it were specially cultivated, extremely precious, and the annual output was very small.
Even the hall masters and high-level officials of the Yanhuang League in China are not eligible to enjoy it, let alone develop into a market.
Mr. Peter should also know about our domestic luxury goods, right?
The luxury goods in our country are different from the commercial luxury goods in your country. They are made through a long time, tedious manpower, and rare materials, so it is difficult to achieve mass production.
The same is true for this cigarette. The production cost, raw material selection, and cultivation are all very difficult, so it can only be used on a small scale. "Hou Xiaoge smiled bitterly and shook his head.
