On the way back, Li Cong saw the streets full of cigar shops. In fact, Cubans are very good at consuming cigars themselves, but the value of them in their own country has not gone up. For example, Li Cong has a lot of cigar shops.
It’s the same as the one given by Del. Although it is considered the best cigar after all, it can only be sold for 350 US dollars in Cuba. Even if it is taken out internationally, it will only be expanded ten times at most.
It's just value. The profit at this price is not small, but what does Li Cong do? If he does this just because of the ten times profit, he would be looking down on this guy. Naturally, he will not let this guy do it.
A cigar sold for 3,500 US dollars. It might be sold for 35,000 US dollars through his hands, maybe 350,000 US dollars.
Take Energy Group's cigarettes as an example. The top cigarettes currently on the market are priced at 550,000 RMB per box in China, but in the United States, even with formal procedures, they cost nearly 300,000 US dollars per box.
A box of cigarettes is estimated to cost US$350,000 on the black market. This is the highest product with unlimited supply. Cigarette Energy Group of this level alone sells 150,000 boxes around the world every year.
This is converted to 1.5 million boxes. Excluding other expenses, the average profit of the energy group in the world should be about 200,000 US dollars per box. The world only relies on this type of cigarettes to provide Li Cong with 3,000 US dollars every year.
As for the profit of 100 million US dollars, Li Cong feels that this cigar will definitely exceed this thing.
Of course. There is a reason why rich people all over the world buy Li Cong’s health cigarettes. The reason why they are called health cigarettes is because they have a direct effect on people’s bodies, and they can be seen, just like a person on Wall Street in the United States.
The financier said the same thing. I don't agree with my father smoking, but since my father smoked, I feel that his various body functions are changing and getting better. Even if they can't get better, they can.
Continuing to maintain the current situation, his father passed away after his 90th birthday. When facing reporters, he said, without the health cigarettes of the Energy Group, I would like to celebrate my father's 80th birthday.
Birthdays are always difficult, so he made an important decision. His father used to smoke millions of dollars in cigarettes every year. After his father passed away, he would also buy so many healthy cigarettes every year.
Send it to some older people.
Of course, his father smokes good cigarettes that cost 10,000 US dollars per box. Naturally, he can't give that away. He will give away the lowest cigarette in the energy group's healthy cigarettes, which sells for 50 US dollars in the United States, and costs 20,000 US dollars per year.
Box, his approach has also resonated with other people who use healthy cigarettes. This part alone brings billions of dollars in revenue to the energy group every year. Of course, the main income of the energy group is not on them.
Still in the same class as his dead father, they have a lot of money. When they get old, the most worrying thing is their own health. If they have something that can maintain their health, millions of dollars a year is nothing. They have a lot of money.
With assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars, who wouldn’t use 1% of their income to keep themselves alive?
Li Cong wandered on the road for a long time and returned to the Energy Group's military camp. After looking for a long time, he finally figured out that there seemed to be no market for the Energy Group's health cigarettes, which are very popular around the world. Too many people were smoking them.
Cigars, in Cuba, cigars have slowly become a culture, or a national hobby, and cigars naturally have the benefits of cigars. I believe that I will make a lot of money in the future.
It’s not that the Skull and Bones Society didn’t see the benefits of Cuban cigars, it’s just that they don’t have the ability to do it. Many times their forces are eliminated just after they enter Cuba. When the entire country hates you, you really don’t have the extra ability.
It has been a truth for many years that people do things in this country, especially things that infringe on their rights and interests. Li Cong also expected that if he took over Cuba's cigars, the strongest opposition would be the Skull and Bones Society, but Li Cong also expected that the Skull and Bones Society would be the most fiercely opposed.
I will never consider them. The relationship between us is basically going to turn against each other. Will I still care about your reaction at this time?
After Li Cong returned to his room, he saw Qin You'er watching TV boredly. Compared with the programs in the United States, Li Cong knew very well how boring the programs on Cuban TV were. "Haha, why don't you go out and have a look?"
I’m watching TV alone at home.” Because the entire military camp was full of old men, Li Cong was afraid that Qin You’er wouldn’t be used to living there, so he put her in his suite, which had several rooms anyway.
"You're still saying, you left me here, how can I get out? When I get out, that general will bring a dozen soldiers to follow me. It looks like I want to eat others, so I have the nerve to take him with me.
Going out? Those people are always checking the belongings of passers-by. Going out is a serious nuisance to the people. You don’t think it’s too much, but I think it’s too much.” Qin Youer turned off the TV angrily and said, she had never been here either.
Here, I really want to go out and have a look at these things, but I think about it when I think of those soldiers. People all over the street think of themselves as monsters.
Li Cong chuckled. Li Yunhai naturally didn't dare to let Qin You'er go out by herself, especially since she came with him. Just because of this, she got that kind of treatment. Besides, Li Cong didn't want Qin You'er either.
I appeared in Cuba. Although the stability has become a lot more stable, there are too many people hiding guns here. Who can prove that they are all good people? It is still necessary to take the soldiers out, but Qin You'er
He doesn't have the skills of his own.
"They are also kind-hearted. Don't think that they are very calm just because they look very calm on the surface. In fact, we don't know what is going on here. Many times when it seems calm, it is the time when things should go wrong. Now
Do you know that I am from the Energy Group? This is why I asked you to quickly sell off your assets in the United States. If you want to develop in the Americas, you do not have to be in the United States. My abilities are really helpful there.
I'm not too busy, but I'm still very capable in these countries in Central America. At least I can keep you for now." Li Cong said with a smile. In fact, this time he asked Qin You'er to take all the family's assets to Cuba.
Come on, the Qin family has also made great determination.
The Qin family's assets in the United States are not very large, but they are definitely quite a lot. This time, Qin You'er sold them all in just one week. This was definitely a big loss for the Qin family, but Li Cong
He told Qin You'er that he would get the lost money back immediately elsewhere, especially in Cuba. Of course, as a businessman, one cannot trust others so easily, but Qin You'er just
So I believed it without reservation, and came with the entire Qin family's $2.5 billion in cash.
In fact, Qin You'er only knew that Li Cong was a young man of the Li family. But he never thought that it was Li Cong himself. Although some elders in the family knew about this, they did not think that Li Cong would personally come forward to arrange the affairs of the Qin family.
, it is already very good to be able to send an outstanding descendant of the family to do this. At that time, they also knew Li Cong's character, so they just told Qin You'er to listen to that person. Moreover, Cuba is now in an economic stage.
During the rising period, there is absolutely no problem investing here, at least it will be much better than currently in the United States.
"Then I would like to thank you in advance for your kindness. I have been here for two days. I have also thought about Cuba. There are indeed many places worthy of development. The first thing I like is the amusement park plan. I don't know.
Can you participate?" Qin You'er said with a smile. The amusement park plan is definitely profitable. There are too many tourists in Cuba every year, but most of them rely on the local natural scenery. For modern entertainment
They really don't have the equipment. If they fill this gap here now, I believe they can get huge profits. Originally, Li Cong wanted to arrange for them to participate in the hotel plan. Although the annual profit of that thing
It’s not very high, but it’s more stable. This amusement park plans to make a lot of money. If it doesn’t make money, you can’t blame others. Li Cong just wanted to give the Qin family some sustainable development projects. Unexpectedly, this girl still didn’t want to
so.
"Of course, you can participate in all our group's projects in Cuba, but you also know that the playground project is very risky. In the long run, this is no problem, but in the short term, some local
The consumption cannot be increased." Li Cong thought for a while and said. There are some large amusement parks all over the world, and at least 40% of them are local customers, but Li Cong, a local customer in Cuba,
It feels like basically none. The problem of eating for these locals has just been solved. It is absolutely impossible for them to spend 200 yuan to go to such a place. It is not impossible to count on tourists, but you cannot guarantee this.
Tourists all come, unless the entire amusement park is built into a super huge amusement park, such as the largest or most luxurious in the world, and it is okay to directly create a brand.
"I understand this. This is not my first time doing business. Some transactions are risky. I know this. In fact, the risks here are much smaller than the risks I have in the United States, at least not
Someone from the government is here to cause trouble." Qin You'er obviously thought of the real estate project he co-founded with Li Cong. No one came to see this place before, but after Qin You'er bought it, there were people everywhere.
Looking for trouble, in the end this was the first asset Qin Youer disposed of. Of course, with her efforts, she did not lose money. She left with a profit of 20 million US dollars, but even if she sold the land at this price
They didn't feel very happy when they came. After all, making money by selling land and real estate are completely different things.
Li Cong can guarantee that Qin You'er is worried about this issue. Since the group has decided that this is the bridgehead, it will not give up here easily. With the energy group as a strong backing, this place is absolutely safe. If the government here doesn't
If he is obedient, Li Cong can directly order the fleet to destroy the government here without the need for others. However, the impact would be too bad, and he cannot take that step until the last step.
"Actually, the idea of a jewelry store is also a good one. Unfortunately, no one in Cuba can afford expensive diamonds now. I read some information and found that the annual jewelry market in Cuba is only over 100 million U.S. dollars. This country
It's really too poor." Qin You'er said helplessly. With Li Cong's diamond, it would be easy for them to make money. Unexpectedly, there is no market in Cuba.
"Your vision is really short-sighted. If we can invest in building a huge playground and make Cuba a place like Hong Kong, then do you think people from all over South America will choose to come here? The most important thing is that we
We can lower the threshold and don’t set up so many obstacles like the United States. I think most wealthy people from South America will come here. Everything is just a matter of speculation. You see, I want to move the headquarters of the Central and South American Energy Group.
If you go to Havana, Cuba, how many points do you think this city can add?" The Central and South American headquarters of the Energy Group is now in Brasilia, Brazil. It can be regarded as a South American headquarters. As for Central and South America, it is a bit unworthy of its name.
"Haha. You are here. You think you are the president of the energy group. You are just a descendant of the Li family. If you want to help me, you may still be capable. But if it affects the major policies of your group, I will see them
I won't be willing to do that, so I'd better not think about this idea." Qin You'er said with a smile, and Li Cong didn't make any excuses. If he was really just the next generation of the Li family, he probably wouldn't have such a right.
Knowing that the cost of relocating a second-level branch is not small, but the benefits are immediate, Li Cong's idea has a seed, but it still needs to be verified.
Just as the two people were chatting, suddenly the whole house shook. Could it be an earthquake? Earthquakes often occurred in South America a while ago. But here is already on the edge of the Pacific Rim Earthquake Zone, so earthquakes shouldn't happen here.
Yes, but now the house is shaking, of course it is just a moment. If it is an earthquake, it is probably small. Li Cong feels that this is not an earthquake, but something else. "I'll go out and take a look, you stay here."
Don't go out, no one else is allowed to open the door except my guards." Li Cong ordered and went out. Safety in this place is really a worrying issue. If you are not careful, you may regret it for life, Qin You
Er nodded, knowing that she couldn't bear Li Cong's burden at this time.
"What happened?" After going out, Li Cong saw Li Yunhai coming with a large number of naval officers in the distance. It seemed that it was really not an earthquake.
"That's it. The US fleet surrounded us and blocked the sea area here. It was caused by the salvo of the main guns of their twelve destroyers. They didn't fire shells at us, but they started shelling Havana.
There are some no-man's land. Our port is surrounded by no-man's land, so there is some shock. I have already asked our defense forces to enter combat mode. Do we need the fleet to go out and teach them a lesson?" If it hadn't been for Li Cong.
If we were here, I guess Li Yunhai would have gone out to kill them long ago. His subordinates have already been defeated, and yet he still dares to come. If I don't kill you, you are really treating yourselves as a piece of cake.
"Don't be impulsive. Call helicopters and drones to go out to investigate and see what's going on." The only thing to keep calm at this time is that the group has not yet established a firm foothold in Cuba. It is best not to cause a war at this time.
, Moreover, even if there is a war, Li Cong will not start a war at his doorstep. This place needs construction and is definitely not used for fighting.
Immediately, several helicopters and a dozen unmanned reconnaissance helicopters took off. In terms of UAV development, the energy group cannot keep up with the Americans. Now the United States has drones for attack, but for the energy group
Generally speaking, they don't have this thing. They only have drones for reconnaissance, because there are actual examples in Tektronix's computers to prove that using drones to attack manned machines is definitely a mistake. They
Although they can only carry out some simple things, they cannot do some complex air combats at all, because they do not have human thinking.
Compared with manned aircraft, it has the advantages of small size, low cost, easy use, low requirements on combat environment, and strong battlefield survivability. It is favored by all military forces around the world. In several local wars, no one has
Human-piloted aircraft play a significant role with their accurate, efficient and flexible reconnaissance, jamming, deception, calibration and combat capabilities in irregular conditions, and have triggered an endless stream of military academics, equipment technology and other related issues.
Research. Together with the gestating arsenal ships, unmanned tanks, robot soldiers, computer virus weapons, space-based weapons, laser weapons, etc., it will become an important stage of land warfare, naval warfare, air warfare, and space warfare in the 21st century.
The role will have a far-reaching impact on future military struggles. Military experts from the energy group also agree. However, it is impossible to say that they are mainstream. At least Li Cong does not agree with this, because he knows dozens of
Years or even hundreds of years from now, these drones will only be used as supporting roles.
Some experts predict: "Future air combat will be a battle between unmanned aerial vehicles with stealth characteristics and air defense weapons." However, because unmanned aircraft are still a new thing in the field of military research, there is little actual combat experience, and various
The technology is not perfect enough, so its combat applications are limited to limited technologies such as high-altitude electronics and photographic reconnaissance, and it has not fully exerted its due huge battlefield influence and combat effectiveness. Therefore, all major military countries in the world are stepping up their efforts to carry out unmanned driving.
Aircraft development work. Based on actual combat tests and future combat needs, unmanned aircraft will develop faster in several aspects. The whole world basically knows that the energy group does not increase research on unmanned aerial vehicles.
In their opinion, this was a huge mistake made by Li Cong. It was likely to be very fatal.
A military expert once said when visiting an energy group that modern warfare is a three-dimensional war involving organic cooperation between tanks, artillery, aircraft, and warships, integrating air, land, sea, space, and electricity. Its technology is advanced and its lethality is strong.
The dangers are unprecedented. UAVs are characterized by their small size, light weight, good maneuverability, long flight time and easy concealment. Especially because they are unmanned, they are particularly suitable for carrying out dangerous activities.
tasks, so they are playing an increasingly important role in modern warfare. For example, in the Battle of the Bekaa Valley in 1982 and the Gulf War that broke out in 1991, drones were used for reconnaissance and surveillance and interfered with enemy radar communication systems.
