Chapter 26 26. Drive forward in the tunnel

First there was the success of the new world, and then there was the prosperity of the big world, and soon, imitators appeared from time to time."Small World", "Big Thousand World", "Flower World", "Fairy World", as well as "Tianwaitian", "Embroidered Cloud Sky", etc., they all use their brains to come up with some novel tricks, trying to grab the big world and the new world. It is a pity that none of the world's business was successful. Some made a fuss in the first two days and then fell down immediately. Later, Yongan Company and Xianshi Company also opened the "Tianyun Building" and "Xianshi Paradise" playgrounds on their upper floors, but they have been able to maintain it.Because the backstage boss is tough and can afford it.These two companies also occupy a good location and are relatively cheap. They both open at the intersection of Nanjing Road and Zhejiang Road. There are many pedestrians passing by. Some people come to these two companies to buy things, and they go to the playground upstairs to have fun. Although the business is not as good Big world is good, not too bad.

The New World felt a little outnumbered.Originally, we only had to deal with a big world, but now there are "Tianyun Building" and "Xianshi Paradise" popping up nearby. Shanghainese like to catch up with the latest, and no matter how old the brand of New World is, it is unlikely to be able to win over them I'm having fun. Mrs. Jing was exhausted, and she couldn't think of any new way to win by surprise. So someone came to persuade Mrs. Jing, why not let go of the past, cooperate with Huang Chujiu again, and dig the tunnels of the new world forward, all the way to the big world, and connect them into one. This will greatly open the eyes of Shanghai people. Needless to say, business will be "too hot to faint".

After hearing it for the first time, no one does not say it is good and wonderful! But thinking about it again, I was immediately discouraged. 1. With such a long tunnel dug, is the project guaranteed?Will the concession authorities on both sides allow it? 2. How much will this project cost? Can Jing and Huang afford it? 3. Even if Huang Chujiu is willing to cooperate, what kind of conditions will he put forward, and will Mrs. Jing accept it? It’s okay to talk about it casually, but it won’t work if you actually do it. What's more, at this time, Huang Chujiu's interest has begun to shift.The big world doesn't need him to worry about it anymore. With his "capability", he should go to other industries to grab a place.

The industry he is focusing on now is tobacco. Materials vary.It is said that when Huang Chujiu co-founded New World with Jing Runsan in 1915, he founded Fuchang Tobacco Company, first called Dachang Company. It is said that the tobacco company was officially listed in 1917, the same year that Dashijie opened. The sign is hung at the door of a paved house along the road outside the Great World. At that time, there were two brands of medium and low-end cigarettes produced by Shanghai British American Tobacco Company, which were very popular among the public.
