The history of the New Fourth Army's fortune can be regarded as another entrepreneurial legend
1937 After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, under the advice of General Zhang Xueliang , Chiang Kai-shek finally gave up his prejudice and began to unify the guns to the outside world. However, the premise was that Chiang felt that the guns were in his own hands. Therefore, the adaptation of the Red Army of the Red Army has been delayed. In the end, if it weren't for the Japanese attacking Chiang Kai-shek's old camp, Shanghai and Jiangsu, Chiang Kai-shek might not have agreed to the adaptation of the Eighth Route Army
The adaptation of the New Fourth Army would be even more difficult. At the beginning, the New Fourth Army could still go from the Third War Zone of the Kuomintang to a certain extent. The little military pay was probably because Chiang Kai-shek saved face for General Ye Ting
But in 1940, Chiang Kai-shek discovered that the New Fourth Army had become the ranks of the Communist Party, so he brazenly launched the Southern Anhui Incident
0. The Kuomintang not only declared that the New Fourth Army was a rebel and ordered the third theater to send troops to attack, but also cut off all his food and salary supply
. The war was about logistics. Without logistics, the New Fourth Army, even survival was difficult, not to mention holding back the original weapons and playing with the Japanese. When , Zhang Yunyi, the commander of the Second Division of the New Fourth Army, saw business opportunities in a meeting. It turned out that Zhang Yunyi did not smoke, but in a meeting, He saw many soldiers rolled up their leaves as cigarettes. Smoking
Cigarettes are indispensable items in the war. Although smoking now seems to be unhealthy, under the mood of war, smoking can indeed boost your spirit and relieve nerves. Therefore, the officers and soldiers have the habit of smoking.
0 New Fourth Army wants to smoke, and the Kuomintang and the Japanese also want to smoke. So Zhang Yunyi had an idea in an instant. We can set up a cigarette factory by ourselves.
At that time, the New Fourth Army had just occupied Tianchang County . There was a small cigarette factory here. The poor cigarette factory was made by Japan. The joint exploitation between people and the Kuomintang was about to go bankrupt
New Fourth Army decisively bought out the management rights of the tobacco factory. We made cigarettes while fighting, and the problem of smoking was solved by ourselves. We could also take out the excess cigarettes to sell
At that time, Chen Yi personally named the cigarettes made by the tobacco factory Pegasus cigarettes
Originally, this cigarette was just used to solve domestic demand, but I didn't expect that the cigarettes of the New Fourth Army were very popular in the market. This was because Pegasus was exclusively in the civilian market and the price was cheaper than the cigarettes brought by the Kuomintang and the Japanese, so it gained support from the people
Just like the advertising slogan, people should smoke their own cigarettes
was originally a tobacco factory. The Japanese thought it didn't have much climate, so they just let it go
. However, the cigarettes of the New Fourth Army were of very good quality. They bought tobacco leaves from Anhui. The packaging was also very exquisite and the price was very cheap. Therefore, not only did the New Fourth Army smoke in their own cigarettes, but soon even the Japanese enemy-occupied merchants came to the New Fourth Army to order
No one did the lose money business. Even if they could make money, someone would do
saw the sweetness, and the New Fourth Army quickly purchased machines and built factories, increasing production volume every day. At that time, about 1,200 cigarettes could be produced every day, not only supplying themselves, but also exporting to Japan and the Kuomintang-occupied areas
According to the New Fourth Army's own words, we not only solved the employment problems of the people, but also earned extra money
This is a whole industrial chain. Tobacco farmers were happy because tobacco had sales; women were also happy because they could work in tobacco factories to make money; the New Fourth Army was also happy because with more money, they could buy more guns and better fight against the Japanese devils.
The only thing that was unhappy was probably Chiang Kai-shek.
The New Fourth Army Tobacco Factory developed to the end. Even the Japanese began to buy
The Japanese Army's treatment in in the later stage of in World War II was far inferior to that of the navy. They could not smoke cigarettes supplied by Japan, but the Japanese were also very addicted to cigarettes. What should I do?
So they started to make the idea of Chinese cigarettes
At the beginning, the puppet army in Jiaxing
area bought cigarettes privately from the Second Division of the New Fourth Army. For example, the price of five packs of cigarettes was two pistols
After tasting the sweetness, the Japanese army quickly established a private connection with the New Fourth Army, and more and more things were used to change cigarettes, and even htm was exchanged with cannons. l4
Since the New Fourth Army tobacco factory was famous, the New Fourth Army's 20 can pay 300,000 yuan of fiat currency to the military headquarters every month, and the money left by itself is enough to make a well-equipped army
At that time, the New Fourth Army's food standard should be the highest in the country, with ten yuan a month of pocket money, mainly eating rice, and giving a toothpaste every month. Three cigarettes, military uniforms are also sewn in the west by the imported leader. The weapons are all Japanese weapons and equipment
Don’t ask where the equipment comes from, it is
given by the Japanese. During the severe drought in North China in 1944, the New Fourth Army also took out 16 million yuan from the profits of cigarettes to support the disaster area
and then look at the National Government at that time. If you don’t take any money, you won’t tell me. The people were still regarded as plague gods, and pushed over and pushed over
. The New Fourth Army, a unit that was cut off from food by the Kuomintang and was attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops, could still rely on business to develop into a rich man without exploiting the people. It is really a magical operation that turns the tide and is also worth learning from the younger generations
