Shortly after getting on the plane.

Han Chudong soon stopped rejoicing that the seats were spacious.

Because there was a baseball team next to him, all of whom were as old as him, noisy like ducks, and still smoking and drinking.

Before taking off, the cabin was filled with the smell of smoke, and he had no reason to blame those guys, because Zhou Nan, the watermelon head, also had a cigarette in his mouth.

Seeing Han Chudong looking at him, Zhou Nan also asked him empathetically, "Come on?"

Why not.

The smell of smoke in the cabin is spicy to the eyes, and second-hand smoke is also smoking anyway, so it is better to fight poison with poison.

There are fire extinguishers everywhere, and some people even buy cigarettes and alcohol from the flight attendants, so it seems that it is no wonder that air crashes are so frequent, it is simply death, Han Chudong finally regretted that he did not drive to Chicago by himself, he should find a five-seater car, and a few people should change it.

The plane is already taxiing, the cabin is not big, and the Boeing 737 is not comparable, let alone the 747, Airbus A380 and other big guys, very worried about today's aircraft manufacturing process, simply bought a bottle of whiskey, ready to get drunk, save the fear all the time.

Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol.

Watermelon head Zhou Nan asked him: "Brother Dong, this time you go to the toy fair, if someone takes a fancy to these things, what will we do in the future?"

This question was raised in the heart of the watermelon head as early as a few days ago, when I first heard that I was going to contact other toy manufacturers, but I couldn't bear to ask it.

It's hard to find a lucrative job, and no one wants to just throw it away.

I have just lived a comfortable life, and I am very worried that the opportunity to make money in my hands will be so yellow.

Han Chudong didn't like the taste of pure whisky very much, even if he put ice cubes in the cup, he still felt weird, shaking the glass in his hand, listening to the crisp sound of the ice cubes hitting the glass, and replied: "Don't worry, your business continues, just find some people to help sell together, I'm worried that if it drags on for too long, there will be imitations on the market, and in the future, Mango Toys will be a company focusing on the production and research and development of new toys, and it is best to sell this piece through agents." ”

I have been thinking about the issue of long-term development, and I already have a relatively clear concept.

Since I feel that I can't eat the entire industrial chain, it is better to put out the terminal retail as soon as possible and exchange some money to come back.

Helping the watermelon head pour some more wine, he smiled and added: "Don't worry about me eating alone, I will definitely not forget you and the army, and when the time comes, the big deal will be the agent of the entire California to the two of you, one to take Southern California and the other to Northern California, which is the most populous state in the entire United States." ”

As soon as he heard this, the watermelon head suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and said in surprise: "Really?"

"Really, I'm only in charge of production and shipping, and I'll talk about it when I get back from Chicago......"

The group of people on the baseball team next to him made a lot of noise as if they were crazy, and they didn't listen to the flight attendants at all.

Han Chudong went to the bathroom, stood outside the door and heard a woman's panting sound inside, it had just taken off, how could he not guess what was going on inside.

A few minutes later, I saw a young man, sweating profusely, coming out of it, and soon a Latino girl came out.

After hours of hard work, the plane finally landed at the airport in the suburbs of Chicago, and I couldn't wait to get off the plane, the air was fresh, with the thick moisture of a rainy day, it was really comfortable.

Receiving two large suitcases according to the number, Han Chudong was afraid that something would be crushed, so he made a special trip to open it to take a look.

I got a taxi from the exit and asked the driver to send it to the McCormick Convention and Exhibition Center, today is the eve of the opening, and I am in a hurry to rent a booth, as for the hotel, I can find one nearby when the time comes, and I am not afraid that there is no place to live if I have money.

——————

Chicago is located in the southern part of Lake Michigan in the Midwest of the United States, and is a large Midwestern city developed with the Great Lakes in its back.

As the third largest city in the United States, the status can be imagined, the first place is New York, and Los Angeles is the second in the millennium.

It really looks like Chicago's downtown area is even slightly better than Los Angeles, and if it weren't for the Hollywood and the location, it wasn't certain that Los Angeles would be able to overpower it.

Chicago has a slightly weaker reputation in the world, but in the eyes of American residents, Chicago's status is no worse than that of Los Angeles, and many residents from the east and west gather here, and the development is relatively balanced.

The white driver didn't talk much, and every time he asked the watermelon head, he would seriously introduce a few words.

It's all about eating, drinking, and having fun, such as where the bars are interesting, where there are more people at night, where to go and see, and so on.

Zhou Nan went out for the first time, excitedly all the way from the airport to downtown Chicago, while Han Chudong just quietly looked out the car window, watching those classic cars, pedestrians in strange clothes, and many high-rise buildings and shops, and by the way, he also thought about whether the forty-five dollar taxi fare was worth it, probably because he was cheated by this honest-looking driver.

However, safety comes first when going out, don't think that taxi drivers are easy to mess with, most of them belong to a powerful private company, and most of these people can't eat and walk around, they have already negotiated the price, and they are too lazy to think about it.

A fire in the sixties burned down the McCormick Convention Center, which was later rebuilt at an alarming rate, and was just opened the year before last, and everywhere was new.

Follow the signs until you reach the lake, where you finally find the venue where the American Toy Association holds a trade show, and next door is the Motorola new product launch, which is headquartered in Chicago.

Hold your suitcase after settling the fare.

Han Chudong tidied up his tie and shirt, and buttoned it up by the way, the temperature was slightly colder than he expected, at least ten degrees Celsius different from Los Angeles.

Zhou Nan got out of the car and smoked again, and when he saw that he was going inside, he hurriedly said: "Wait for me! This ghost weather is so cold, I seem to be about to freeze to death, should it snow, I haven't seen snow when I'm so big, I heard others say that it often snows at Christmas in New York, and I eat popsicles at home." ”

"If you want to see it, go further north, let you see enough, register early, put away the luggage after registration, we will immediately go to buy clothes, a shirt and this thin suit, I can't ...... if I freeze to death"

After entering, I found that the scale was larger than Han Chudong imagined.

Two-person plastic Christmas trees are being hauled in, a company is setting up trojan cradles, wooden charms, a slightly larger company has a large booth, a toy company making a variety of toy guns, a children's arsenal, and small tanks for families to carry around.

The Lego Toy Company is also here, people are building a castle out of bricks, and the two toy giants, Fisher and Mattel, are also there, with Mattel bringing many new Barbie dolls.

I didn't expect these companies to come to the exhibition, Han Chudong underestimated the scale of this toy fair, and thought about contacting these companies at that time.

After turning around, I went to the organizer to register first.

The toy fair was held for a total of three days, renting a small booth, four or five square meters, two tables, and the cost was 1,000 US dollars a day, which was almost like grabbing money.

In addition, you have to apply to become a member of the American Toy Association before you are eligible to display here, and the personal annual fee is 1,200 US dollars, which makes Han Chudong want to set up a stall outside the venue to attract people.

However, the weather seemed to be going to rain, and in the end a check for a total of 4,200 dollars was signed, and the booth location could only be described as mediocre, and the good places were taken away by the big companies.

Don't be busy setting it up yet, and come back tomorrow to do it, anyway, there are not many things in total.

After receiving the documents and admission pass, I am not in a hurry to leave, and I will look around first.

Han Chudong saw that a company was selling Rubik's Cube, which was strange, and after picking it up and reading it, he found that it was actually a magnet, and he sucked it together, and it was crooked by accident.

A grumpy old man suddenly shouted: "Who told you to touch it, put it down!"

Consciously taking care of the loss, Han Chudong disdained this toy, and put it in place after assembling it.

Looking at the other Rubik's cubes on the booth, they all seem to be adsorbed by magnets, and wonder if the kind of Rubik's cube I am familiar with has not been developed yet?

The other party's attitude was bad, he didn't ask much, and went to other places to continue wandering, wondering what else could be produced for money.
