In Mrs Kennedy's private room, she met the Greek ship king onassis, who was neither an official nor a relative. 1968101On October 20th, onassis married the widow of former US President Kennedy on Scholes Island. 1975 In March, onassis, who was old and weak, died in a Parisian hospital. After his death, he owned about 400 large and small ships, totaling 7 million tons. As for his business on land, it is even worse to evaluate it. His daughter inherited 500 million dollars; In his will, he left his Olympic shipping company to the board of directors; Give the world's most luxurious yacht Christina to the Greek government. He created modern Greek mythology and became a world-recognized navigator.
1906, Aristotle Sokratis onassis was born in Izmir, near the Aegean Sea. Onassis's parents' tobacco business is very prosperous, and their family life is quite rich. Because of better family conditions, onassis received a good education from an early age. 1922, when onassis was preparing to go to a German university, the Turks occupied Izmir. Then, onassis and his parents were arrested, detained and put into prison. As onassis was still young, he was soon released. After returning home, he took out his father's money from the safe and bailed the whole family out. This year, onassis was only 16 years old.
After his release from prison, onassis's family could no longer stay in Izmir. 1922 In September, their family followed1500,000 refugees from Asia Minor and flooded into Greece. Where can poor and small Greece accommodate so many refugees? Not to mention providing employment opportunities for these refugees. Therefore, the onassis family can't find a job anywhere in Greece. In such a desperate situation, onassis bid farewell to his parents and little sister, and went across the ocean alone to the American continent, which was then called the Golden Box continent.
Onassis arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on a junk ship bound for Argentina. Soon after, he found a job as an electric welder in a telephone company. At that time, the telephone company implemented the piece-rate system, and any immigrant could get a lot of money as long as he worked hard. Forced by life, onassis works 16 hours a day, and sometimes even works overtime all night. In order to save some money, he shared a bed with another wage earner, and they took turns sleeping. After an unusually hard life, onassis accumulated a considerable sum of money. When onassis had some savings, he began to prepare his own business plan. Onassis has chosen the tobacco industry as its investment target. In Argentina, people have a hobby of smoking and are addicted to it, so tobacco is more popular.
At that time, the tobacco industry in South America was monopolized by big bosses and it was difficult to get in. However, onassis found a breakthrough from his unique addiction: he found that tobacco in South America and Argentina was not as soft as that in Greece, and many Greeks, including onassis himself, were not used to smoking strong cigarettes in Argentina. They often ask people to buy cigarettes from Greece to smoke, but there are few markets selling Greek cigarettes in Argentina. The keen onassis saw the hope of success, so he positioned the market in Greek cigarettes. Seeing the opportunity, onassis resigned from the telephone company and put all his money and energy into it.
At first, onassis could only set up a handmade cigarette workshop at home. After cigarettes are produced, they can't be sold. Onassis had an idea-he managed to get a famous singer to slap them in front of the TV camera. As it turns out, this idea is really a surprise! Because the singer has a lot of fans, smoking Greek cigarettes has become a fashion in Argentina, and his handmade products are in short supply! Therefore, onassis decided to expand the production scale. He borrowed money everywhere and bought a cigarette machine, specializing in the production of Greek cigarettes. In less than two years, he earned nearly 6,543,800 pesos.
