After getting off the plane, drive home.

The red Jaguar convertible is in the parking lot next to the airport, and after paying for parking, it drives all the way back to Los Angeles.

gave Zhou Nan a good time, and Han Chudong sat in the passenger seat and read the newspaper.

Without a computer or cell phone to play, reading the newspaper became one of the few ways he could learn about the state of the world, and the San Francisco Chronicle had a front-page note of how happy the residents of the other side of the Pacific are today.

As mentioned before, the relationship is still in the honeymoon period, but it seems a little funny to Han Chudong, because it is rare for mainstream American newspapers to sing praises like this.

In addition, the economic board indicates that the price of oil has risen to $11 a barrel, which was just over $1 a few years ago.

A professor at Harvard University wrote that the United States was once again in a phase of economic stagflation and began to question the correctness of Keynesianism.

I have to admit that the competitiveness of American goods is declining with the emergence of competitors such as Japan and Germany, and after the golden age of low inflation and high growth in the sixties, people can no longer find the next economic growth point.

Prices are rising, unemployment and incomes are shrinking, and the purchasing power of the dollar is declining, so much so that people complain about the people in the white house.

These are all things that Han Chudong learned through the newspaper.

As a businessman, paying attention to the economic situation is a compulsory course, which has something to do with him, but it is not big at the moment, and I just hope that the next president will come to power quickly and pay less taxes after passing the tax reduction policy.

The newspaper also wrote about another incident, related to Paul Getty, who has occupied the throne of the world's richest man since he exceeded a billion dollars in 1957.

Recently, the old man made a fortune through the Getty Oil Company because of the rising oil prices, but he was unwilling to pay the kidnappers millions of dollars in ransom, and he also bargained with the kidnappers for the time since his grandson was kidnapped in July.

If it weren't for the fact that on the 5th of this month, the kidnapper cut off one of his grandson's ears and sent it out, the old man wouldn't even be willing to bargain.

Han Chudong remembered that this incident would be made into a movie in the future.

No joke who means.

As Paul Getty said, if he pays the ransom, the other children will be in danger, and it makes sense.

However, intellectually it can be said, but from an emotional point of view, it is still a bit impersonal. Considering that the old man had many descendants, he probably didn't care that one or two of them were in danger.

In addition, Warren Buffett made another move, recently bought a stake in the Washington Post, and mentioned it in a small article on the economic page, but Han Chudong looked at it very seriously, after all, he was an "acquaintance".

He knew each other, and the other party didn't know the kind of acquaintances he had.

Combined with the recent sharp decline in the stock market, it is indeed a good time to enter the market.

Mr. Getty has a fortune of more than $3 billion, and his hair is thicker than Han Chudong's thighs, and the future "stock god" now has a wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is not as good as Wang An, the richest Chinese man in the United States, who is the founder of Wang An Computer Company, is worth more than $400 million.

Originally, I thought that earning more than $3 million was already very successful, but compared with the regulars of these financial pages, it seems very small.

We have to keep up the good work......

There is no one at home, and there is no point in going back.

Han Chudong first stopped by the Baofeng Electrical Appliance Store with "NO·2" written on the signboard to take a look, and asked about the sales after he left.

It had only been nearly 50 hours since he stepped on the plane to Chicago, and how many goods could he sell, and his turnover of more than $6,000 could only be said to be not bad, and he could earn about $400 after putting aside various costs.

I didn't bother to check the accounts, and after chatting with the clerk for a few words, I drove to the Meng Ou Wind plaque.

Today's weather is good, suitable for open tops, no need to wear thick coats, like returning from winter to autumn, compared to the inland city of Chicago in the north, the climate here in Los Angeles is indeed more nourishing.

I bought a few pancakes and took them to the company to eat.

Zhao Dajun was tired some time ago, and the past two days just happened to be a rest, helping Han Chudong keep an eye on the capital transactions of Mango Toy Company.

After seeing Han Chudong, Dajun stretched his waist and said: "I just happened to come back, and someone called you more than ten minutes ago, saying that it was a reporter from the New York Daily News, I wrote down the phone number, and you can call him back." ”

"Thanks, I'll play later, and I'm still wholesale yo-yos, and then I'm about to stop. You discuss with the watermelon head yourself to see how many goods you need, I will first transfer it to you from the warehouse, and the rest will be shipped to the outside world. ”

Hearing Han Chudong's words, Zhao Dajun's face was full of puzzlement.

Just as he was about to ask, Watermelon Head said to him: "Brother Dong gave us the agency of California, do you want the south or the north?" Let's go out and talk, don't affect the call......

If the agency system is adopted, the former group of salesmen will need to settle down.

Mango Company lacks manpower to help, and the kind of work that gets a fixed salary and bonus, and Han Chudong's two friends also want salesmen, so there should be no big problem, and those people will choose for themselves when the time comes.

He first called back to the New York Daily News, told them his name, and asked if it was a toy fair.

Some normal little questions, not some heavyweight exclusive interviews, took the opportunity to advertise their own company and those products, and hung up the phone after a few minutes.

Walked to Secretary Wang, asked him if there was anyone from the headhunting company who called to ask, and after learning that there was not, he raised his arm to look at his watch, it was only three o'clock, and the agreed meeting time was five o'clock, and he still had time to go to Boss Yang's side.

It's not clear why.

Anyway, Han Chudong always felt that this secretary looked at him a little strangely, how did he know that the other party was worshipping him, thinking that he was being a thief, and he was thinking about whether he wanted to check the accounts.

I said it on the phone before, and after rushing to the production workshop, I just sat down with Boss Yang Guangnian to continue to talk about the details.

Last night, Han Chudong roughly estimated the cost of various toys, and handed over the purchase quotation after adding a little interest to the other party, which did not have much technical content, and the price was relatively low.

However, the number is huge, just take those kinds of bamboo dragonflies as an example, a total of millions of pieces have to be customized, so Boss Yang feels that it is acceptable, and after thinking about it, he feels that he should be able to earn some money.

Hit it off, simply produce first, and wait for the troublesome ones, so that the agents have something to do as soon as possible.

Yo-yo balls are produced here, and then packaged to Chinatown for assembly, which can be regarded as Han Chudong's driving local employment.

His grandmother had helped people pack cleaning steel wool balls before, and at that time she also said that those greedy businessmen exploited the elderly, and now they are slapped in the face, Han Chudong himself has not earned less, and those who assemble two yo-yos can only earn a penny, and even then there are people rushing to do it.

————————

When I returned to the company at four o'clock, the people from the headhunter company had already arrived.

It was a small business, and he couldn't make a lot of money, so he sent a white intern over and showed the information to Han Chudong and said:

"I'll inform you before I see it, if you don't choose the right person, you will have to pay two hundred dollars, even if you look for a candidate, and I will take a taxi to pay the fee, if you fancy who arranges the interview, and pay another three hundred dollars, I will give you the contact information.

In addition, some of them already have jobs, and the cost of negotiating with people is paid separately, pay a deposit first, and then give the rest when they succeed, and if you want them to change jobs, the salary may be slightly higher, you should be mentally prepared. ”

It is clear that the Mango Toy Company is small in scale and the office environment is also simple, so it is a little arrogant.

An ignorant little guy, Han Chudong nodded and said: "I accept, let me see the information first, I'm sure they are all elites, right? My business has been relatively big recently, I don't want ordinary people to come, I don't want it if I don't have the ability to get out of it as soon as possible." ”

"Some of them are candidates who are applying for jobs in our company, if there is really a legitimate big ...... Business, try to pay a little price, go to a well-known company to poach people, such as Disney's middle management, if the salary is higher, I think they may be willing to come to you. “

Obviously don't believe how strong this company is.

The intern of the headhunting company had a little attitude towards this, and his tone was slightly strange.

Han Chudong spent money but couldn't be an uncle, so he didn't care, and after taking the folder, he looked through it and found that some of them were even job applications, and the work information was relatively comprehensive.

It can be seen that most of the human resources departments of some companies are out of the ghost and leak employee information......
