Chapter 114: Photos
The first thought was to wonder how she would know the exact address of her new home.
Since I moved, I have already said hello to the building manager and forwarded the letters sent to the new address.
If Miss Bergman had been to the little house, she would have been able to say so.
However, the problem is that Han Chudong never mentioned where his family lived in front of her at all, and the address written on the letter was the villa number.
I began to suspect that Miss Bergman had not moved away, and had been secretly following her recently.
When I thought of this, the cold hairs on my back stood up. I wasn't really worried, but I was scared of the sequelae of watching too many crime TV series.
I haven't heard from her for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone.
At that time, Miss Bergman disappeared too strangely, and this matter has been bothering Han Chudong, and he hurriedly tore open the envelope, which contained only a photo.
A photo of a woman's back, wearing jeans and a white sweater, mostly at home, because slippers are on her feet.
Seeing this photo, Han Chudong's heart suddenly relaxed, although he didn't show his face, he knew that this was Helena Bergman's photo.
Judging by the color of her hair, she was blonde when she was first seen in Chinatown, and later dyed brown.
As the hair grows, you can see the newly grown blonde hair in the photo, which is quite different from the dyed hair.
I don't believe that anyone can fake such small details, and I am relieved to know that she seems to be doing well.
Flipping through the photo, it reads: "Don't worry about me, I can't tell you what happened, but my family and I are fine, maybe one day I'll go back to you and talk to you about the incident that happened before I left." ”
There is also a kitchen knife drawing behind this text.
Han Chudong couldn't remember the little story in the motel and smiled very happily.
I carefully looked for details from the photos and tried to find out where she was, but there were no clues, and the sending address was not filled in, so it was impossible to even reply to the letter.
A little disappointed.
Sitting at the dining table, I took a deep breath and looked at several other letters, including invitations to the exhibition from the Toy Association, repayment notices from banks, and text messages and e-mails on my mobile phone that had not yet appeared, and I could receive some letters almost every day.
After reading it casually, he continued to sigh and return to his room with photos and stationery.
It's a pity that I don't know when we will meet again, and it's a mystery whether I can even see her.
The bad mood that lasted all day began with this letter.
Soon after, Han Chudong received a phone call, saying that there were imitation hand warmer pillows on the market, and there were almost no technical difficulties in manufacturing this thing, but he didn't expect other businesses to react so quickly.
The person in charge of the Mango Toy Company asked him what to do.
Han Chudong couldn't answer this question.
What can be done, others have not copied the pattern, and because there is a hole in the middle of the pillow and the hand can be put into it, it is impossible to judge that those toys infringe his appearance patent.
It will definitely have an impact on the sales market, and it will also damage the interests of Mango Toys and dealers.
It's not like doing business, you face competition everywhere.
I believe that other kinds of toys will gradually be affected by piracy, but fortunately, he still has a backhand, and applied for a four-wheel drive racing patent in advance, so that agents can see this toy, not afraid that they will not be moved.
Children like the new and hate the old faster than adults, and they don't plan to rely on the products currently on the market for a lifetime, just maximize profits as much as possible......
Towards the end of the year.
Since Han Chudong started doing business, more than two months have passed in a blink of an eye.
Thanksgiving is no match for Christmas, with the Fourth Middle East War, the aftermath of Watergate, economic stagflation, stock market crash, rising unemployment, and so on.
The year is approaching, and after the short Thanksgiving holiday, everything is the same again.
Employees were given a short break, knowing that they would get about 15 days of vacation if they refueled for a while, and their morale became more and more high.
In December, students are looking forward to the winter vacation, and the sales of toy companies and home appliance retailers have increased significantly, and Han Chudong can earn almost 100,000 US dollars a day because of the products produced by Mango Toy Company.
This made him deeply understand a truth, there is no future for working for others, and starting your own business is the king.
However, ordinary people don't know what will happen in the future, so Han Chudong's initial success is both inevitable and accidental.
Recently, I was discussing with an accounting firm how to avoid taxes.
In the United States, once found to have committed tax evasion, the punishment will be doubled and the case will be difficult to clean, or the family will be bankrupt and imprisoned.
Tax avoidance is not tax evasion, in the short term, the average daily income is 100,000 US dollars, if you pay taxes honestly, according to the California tax law, you need to pay about 40,000 US dollars, Han Chudong was stupid to do it.
The advice given to him by the firm's accountant was to move the company to Puerto Rico as soon as possible.
This place currently belongs to the Free Federation with autonomy, located in the Caribbean Sea, which is considered the territory of the United States, but it is not all the fifty-first state, and many powers are vested in Washington, but in the area of paying taxes, it has little to do with the IRS.
If it weren't for the professional accountant who spent money to tell him, how could Han Chudong know about such a thing, and learned that the tax of up to one million dollars would probably be reduced to about twenty dollars.
When even if I was tempted, I agreed to acquire a company registered in Puerto Rico and use a shell company to change mango toys and storm electrical appliances to avoid taxes.
In order to complete the transaction before the tax deadline, Han Chudong also went to Puerto Rico in person in early December, and he was so hot that he doubted his life.
There are no attractions to play, and after spending three days busy, I immediately flew back to Los Angeles, which was unimaginably easy, and the accounting firm provided one-stop professional services, which hardly made Han Chudong worry about it.
After the shell change, it means that he, the person who is the boss, has a lower tax rate than the employees under him, and the middle class is the most unlucky, and they have no legal channels to avoid taxes.
If you don't pay the money, you will make a lot of money, and the remaining money is more than the two houses you live in now, and in the long run, you can also save a lot of money in the future, so you are naturally happy.
December 7th.
There are just over ten days left until the Christmas holidays.
Today, Han Chudong took a small team, including Kiko Mochizuki, Accountant Wang, a service middleman who is said to be quite skilled in acquisition negotiations, and two lawyers, to a small cosmetics company called "Rainbow" for inspection.
The company is not big, but the name is quite good.
I have been in business for some years, and my main business is facial masks, and my performance has been in the same place, and the market is concentrated in a small area of Southern California.
The reason for eyeing it is mainly because the company has a ready-made sales channel and a small, dilapidated factory whose lease expires at the end of next year.
Naturally, he didn't care about the factory, Han Chudong only cared about the sales channels and salesmen, and the production line and raw materials were even more eye-catching......
