During this time, the focus was mainly on Penguin.

Su Mu was already very sure that Boss Han did intend to exclude himself from management.

When I talked on the phone recently, I could only get conclusions about how to do it from his high-spirited tone, instead of discussing how to develop with Su Mu, a partner.

From the location of the store, to the decoration, to the recruitment, to the contact with the supplier, the second store was all decided by Boss Han, if it wasn't for Su Mu calling him, he seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of the second shareholder of the company.

The company was just starting out, worried about conflicts, and the supermarket was developing quite well, so Su Mu deliberately avoided causing conflicts, and it is still safe and sound.

It's a matter of having a pimple in my heart.

In just half a year, the lazy convenience store owner in the summer vacation seems to have completely turned into a suspicious businessman.

I really want to think about the benefits, but another voice in Su Mu's heart is always telling him that in the face of huge interests, Boss Han will not be able to change his position for long......

December is coming to an end.

In the last month of 1984, Penguin obtained the general distributorship of IBM's personal computers, and also hired a very skilled Miss Black to help manage the company.

Salesmen were divided into small groups to compete internally, and junior management began to emerge, no longer as scattered as before.

When she learned that Penguin only hired so many salesmen, Miss Black was silent for a long time, and finally told Su Mu: "It's amazing that it can last for more than a month!"

After saying that, he also gave Su Mu a thumbs up, which is of course a mockery, he has already drafted a formal employment agreement with Miss Black on behalf of Penguin Company, with the help of a lawyer, so that employees love her and fear her, and this is how the performance has risen, and the whole company is now full of vitality, and under the stimulation of rewards, various sales teams are engaged in healthy competition.

The idea of developing software was temporarily put on hold, and the idea of assembling a computer in his own company, Su Mu mentioned it to Miss Black, but unfortunately the time was not yet ripe, and there were not enough suppliers on the market, and the patents were held by various companies, and the price of assembling machines by their own brands was even more expensive than buying IBM machines.

The "28 rule" is also applicable to the IT industry, and it is more obvious that businesses with patented technology can easily seize the vast majority of the market by virtue of technology monopoly.

Relying on technology patents to monopolize the market, does not violate the anti-Toslav law, Su Mu wants to seize patents, but unfortunately he has too little money, last year IBM's research and development funds were as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, completely incomparable, and he intends to continue to honestly help IBM sell computers.

Penguin's business is expanding to neighboring states, including Nevada, Washington, Arizona, Utah, and New York and Pennsylvania on the East Coast.

The market in these states has just been developed, and the Christmas and New Year holidays will last for more than 10 days, and it is foreseeable that the company's performance will probably be better next year.

A total of 376 salesmen help sell computers, which is not a small number, and now the profit from selling a computer is about 110 US dollars, even if the bonus is removed, there are still more than 70 US dollars of pre-tax income, which is like a money printing machine for Su Mu and Li Ping'an.

After the wages and bonuses were paid on the 24th, most of the employees began to take vacations, leaving only a few salesmen who volunteered to work overtime with double salaries to help answer the phone and record orders, and they could not send the goods out until next year.

Combined with the $300,000 agency fee paid by Miss Mary Anne, the company had $1 million in liquid money in its account, so Sumu took the initiative and bought a car for Miss Black and herself.

Before she saw the car, she was taken to Los Angeles by Su Mu and Li Ping'an, and an employee of the company just wanted to go back to Los Angeles, so she drove them in the new Jaguar XJ6, and the purple luxury car drove south along Highway 1, full of pride in her heart.

Stories of selling computers for easy money were everywhere in the early eighties, when people were just starting to try to get into personal computers, especially in schools that valued student education, and were happy to pay for a number of computers to offer courses, and if there was a school in a certain area that purchased computers, then most of the nearby schools would buy them.

When training employees, Su Mu always teaches his employees the experience of "outwitting" programming training courses, and he is now looking forward to next year, because nearly 200 salesmen who have just finished training will help him open up the market next year.

In just half a year, his life has changed greatly, and the life of the Su family has also changed.

This time, Su Mu and Li Ping'an also received part of the equity dividends from the company according to the proportion of shares, with a total of 200,000 US dollars, and returned home with a huge sum of 180,000 US dollars and found that they were actually decorating.

The walls were painted, the broken doors and roof tiles were replaced, the brand new Jaguar was parked in a parking lot not far away, and the employee who helped drive it was rewarded with a hundred dollars and took a taxi home.

Old man Su has an unrestrained personality and doesn't like to be managed at work, so he continued to help people customize suits at home and quit his job.

Su Mu went home without prior notice, and when he saw his old man, he had a cigarette in his mouth and gossiped with his neighbors: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, they don't have to worry about me now, the family has a little spare money, it just happens that the house is too old, and recently I took out all the money to renovate it a little."

My eldest grandson can earn some pocket money by selling computers in San Francisco, and now I don't have to pay for it. ”

When he spoke, his back was straight, and he seemed to be showing off in every sentence, but he didn't go too far, and he knew that he wanted to hide his wealth, but he only said that the money was used for decoration, and if anyone came to borrow money, it was good to shirk and say that there was no money.

The vast majority of white people don't like to borrow money from each other, and even if they borrow money from their parents as adults, they will find it difficult to speak, thinking that they have lost face and have a strong sense of independence.

Chinese people are different, especially between relatives who are related by blood, and even treat other people's money as their own, if a relative is richer, the money will not be repaid after it is borrowed, and the right is to help their own family.

The old man has backbone, no matter how poor the family is, he will not borrow money from others, he has suffered losses when he was young, and he also hates others to borrow his own money.

Su Mu laughed dumbly when he heard this, he hadn't told his family how much money he had earned, and the main reason why he took money out of the company this time was to let them buy a new house and move out of the Chinatown area......
