Chapter 150: An Old Guitar

Without the Internet, if you want to know the specific situation of a company, you mainly need to look at the information it publishes to the outside world.

When someone gets the news early, it is easy for them to seize the opportunity in the securities exchange market and form insider trading to seek huge profits.

Especially on Wall Street, from time to time, you can hear the news that a certain financial tycoon has been arrested for this.

Also because of the poor flow of information, many companies like to plant commercial spies in the enterprises of competitors, so as to obtain first-hand information, in case they fall into the disadvantage when competing with each other and be caught off guard, this practice has almost become an unspoken rule in the business world.

For example, the North American branch of Duracell's battery business, a competitor of Duracell's battery business, is a well-known comprehensive multinational company, Panasonic, and its battery business has eyes and ears among the middle managers of Duracell.

Recently, a seemingly inconspicuous news reached the ears of the head of Panasonic's dry battery business in North America, saying that the CEO of Duracell recently planned to acquire a new battery patent, but it was later rejected by the small company in Los Angeles.

Judging from the information from the informant, it seems to be relatively advanced, which attracts the attention of the head of the branch, Tomohisa Oguri, and arranges for employees who are in Los Angeles to start investigating for details.

Han Chudong entertained himself until now, and has accumulated some capital that is worried about other companies.

In fact, there are many peers who fancy mango toys.

If it weren't for the fact that the sales rights in various states were taken away by the agents, which greatly reduced the interest of those toy giants, it is estimated that someone would have come to talk to him about cooperation or acquisition.

The trend of giantization in all walks of life is intensifying.

Which company is the first to develop and grow, it will use its financial advantage to suppress its opponents, or directly choose to annex, commonly known as big fish eating small fish.

A large part of the promising small and medium-sized enterprises have become the nutrients for the giant companies to develop and grow again.

Panasonic's dry cell business was born in 1931 and lagged behind in the subsequent reshuffle with the advent of alkaline dry batteries.

Seeing a new product that seems to be relatively good, Oguri Tomohisa will naturally pay attention, he believes that the eyes of Duracell executives, since the acquisition is proposed, it means that there must be some advantages, and he doesn't mind spending a little energy to pay attention to it.

……

There is still more than a month to turn twenty.

The young body is full of vitality, and within a few days of illness, Han Chudong is full of energy and concentrates on the mask project of Rainbow Beauty Company.

Mr. Clifton Nett, who specializes in enterprise-level services, is also helping him find a suitable acquisition target.

Even if there is a shortage of funds in hand, the investigation work still has not stopped, anyway, it will not cost a few dollars to collect information just by investigating, thinking that it will be prepared in advance, and when the mask is on the market and the cash flow is abundant, the expansion can be accelerated, and the product line can be enriched through mergers and acquisitions.

Selling facial masks is selling, and selling other skin care products and cosmetics is also selling, so why waste sales channels.

Han Chudong has never told anyone about it, but in fact, he attaches great importance to the women's consumer goods market.

People often say that profiteering industries are written in the criminal law, and the markets of cosmetics, skin care products, shoes, bags, jewelry, etc., are legitimate, but very profitable.

The IC industry has just started, and so is the IT industry, which is still a good time to pay attention to the pressure, and can free up energy to toss some other main businesses, and strive to make more money to invest and grow.

With the idea of getting rich in my head, even if I am physically tired, my psychology is full of a sense of accomplishment.

Once a person has an ideal to pursue, he will be as energetic as Han Chudong.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

For the time being, I don't know that there is another force, and I am eyeing the technical patents of Mason batteries.

On January 25, 1974.

Mr. Matthew Russell of Marvel Comics asked Han Chudong to come out and meet near Echo Park.

It's a halfway point not too far from the center of the city and not too far from the Marvel branch, so that one of them doesn't waste time tossing back and forth.

Mr. Russell brought a comic book screenwriter and two young cartoonists, and after meeting, he showed Han Chudong the revised script and character image, and the story was set in Los Angeles, which was changed beyond recognition compared to the original version, but the main line of each team striving for the first place has not changed, the protagonist is named Heaney, and there is a brother named Gordy.

From regional competitions, to state competitions, to national competitions, it is absolutely no problem to draw 50 volumes, and when the time comes, it will be decided whether the world series will be released based on sales.

The background is all set up, Han Chudong can't find a big problem, if he can increase the sales of toy four-wheel drive cars for more than 100,000 or 200,000 US dollars, he will definitely be able to earn it, and he will be willing to pay for it.

Taking a step back, if the sales are not good, you can give up if you say that you can give up, and there is only a description of the minimum order of ten copies on the contract.

This is undoubtedly more beneficial to Han Chudong, because Marvel Comics wants to reach a cooperative relationship with him in the toy market, and he is also willing to buy advertising space on Marvel Comics.

Rather than fighting for money, maintaining a cooperative relationship is beneficial to both parties, and after the strength gradually accumulates, many things become much easier.

"You're sure you're going to follow this outline, no problem, right?"

As soon as Mr. Russell finished asking, he saw Han Chudong nodding, and continued at this moment: "Then after the lawyer draws up the contract, I will send the contract to you through the fax machine, sign it and mail it to me." ”

They met in a restaurant, a high-end fried chicken pizzeria with a more comfortable dΓ©cor.

After the meeting, Han Chudong and Matthew Russell already knew each other, and they had a mutual friend Thomas, so there was no need to pursue these too deliberately.

At this moment, a young girl with a guitar on her back walked into the store and ordered a pizza.

When the pizza was ready, she told the cashier, "Sir, I haven't eaten all day, or I'll sing you a song for the pizza." ”

After speaking, he really picked up the guitar and listened to the tune played, as if it was "Take Me Home on the Country Road", which Han Chudong often heard from the car radio when he was driving.

It's just that the restaurateur didn't give her a chance to start singing.

With a bored face, he waved his hand as if he was chasing flies and said, "Don't delay me in doing business! I don't have any money to come in, you treat me as a welfare home for the church?! Get out, get out!"

After saying that, he threw the freshly made pizza directly into the trash, he didn't care about the production cost of this pizza, but he just didn't want the girl in front of him to exchange a song for the pizza in his store.

Seeing the action of the restaurant owner, the girl froze, and the sound of the guitar stopped abruptly.

After a moment's pause, he walked out with his old old guitar on his back without saying a word.

She happened to pass by the window, Han Chudong saw her appearance clearly, she didn't look very beautiful, she was a relatively young Latino girl, and she was wiping her tears with her hands.

Originally, I thought that the pizza tasted quite good, but when I contacted the attitude of the store, I only felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax......
