Han Chudong brought two types of toys over today.

One is a Rubik's cube, and the other is a plastic seal, which can be disassembled and changed to a pattern, which is suitable for primary school students to play.

The toys in front are not busy, these are considered "technical reserves", but the seal has been passed, unless you come up with a unique pattern or text, or it is just a seal, and there is no way to apply for a patent.

It is similar to the unspoken rules of the automobile industry, the semiconductor industry and other fields.

Manufacturers will not come up with the best things at one time, but will improve step by step in terms of appearance and performance, and gradually eliminate the original products through upgrading, so that consumers can take the initiative to replace the idea of new products and maximize profits.

Toys are mainly sold to children and young people, making it easier to deal with these potential consumers, and as a boss, Han Chudong naturally wants to make more money.

Take the drag-style combat top, for example, it can be simple now, but it can be designed even better, using metal materials to add fun.

In addition, he is also ready to wait until yo-yos, battle tops, and propellers are not sold, and then he will hold back his big moves to make a four-wheel drive car.

That's a money-stealing weapon, too.

It's just that for the sake of long-term profits, I don't want to take it out for the time being.

Recently, the idea of forming a team of scientific engineers to develop toys for sale has been born.

Which materials are toxic and harmful, and which processes can simplify these, must be sorted out by professional personnel.

Han Chudong has his own skills, but the company has a lot of things, so he can't do everything himself.

In the past few days, two more batches have been sent.

One shipment was destined for Texas and one shipment to Washington state.

Washington State is in the northwest corner of the continental United States, and its capital is Seattle, which is completely different from Washington on the East Coast.

On the day of loading, Mango Toys received a total amount of more than 167,000 US dollars in bank remittances, and the net profit was as high as more than 100,000 US dollars.

At present, I mainly sell magic balls, and I also brought some bamboo dragonflies, and other toys are still in stock.

The first shipment has already been received.

Han Chudong hasn't asked about the sales situation yet, but since the agent Mr. John Hunt didn't call angrily to say that the goods should be returned, it means that there should be no problem, at least so far everything is normal.

Looking at the Rubik's Cube, which is trying to apply for a patent, this toy can definitely make some money, but the market is limited.

If you lie to the child's parents that playing with this kind of toy can improve the child's thinking ability, it is possible to earn a little more, but the sales will definitely not be much in the short term, because it is impossible to actively attract those small customers, and there may not be any stamp toys to make money.

On the contrary, it was this Mr. Sherman, who had a good time.

There is a routine for solving the Rubik's Cube, and it is estimated that he will not be able to spell a complete Rubik's Cube in his life if he is fooling around, Han Chudong waited for a while, he was not impatient, and the group of people in line behind him became impatient first.

After someone complained to him, Mr. Sherman, the patent examiner, finally continued to work, collected the application form and then charged the fee, and soon asked Han Chudong to go home and wait for the notice.

It will take several months for the review documents to be sent to the contact address on the form, and then it will be clear if the patent has been obtained......

The renovation work for the new house takes about ten days.

The main thing is to replace the handwashing station and shower equipment, which takes time, and it can be done in one day by buying furniture, kitchen supplies, green plants, carpets, etc., Han Chudong has ordered a set of home appliances with the best performance, and will send it over immediately after the decoration.

He is a businessman who sells electrical appliances, how can he give money to others for nothing.

In addition, it was originally an open kitchen, and someone had been hired to use a glass partition, which was related to a leap in the quality of life, and Han Chudong was more concerned about it.

The newly rented stores are still being renovated and a new warehouse has been rented, and the suppliers are busy storing all kinds of goods in different categories, and the recruitment work is also underway, trying to transfer two people from the first and second stores to the new store as store managers.

These clerks didn't work long, and they were tall among the short ones, so they were a little more reliable.

Since the day before yesterday, there have been three more female clerks in Baofeng Electric's No. 1 store, learning how to sell, all in preparation for the opening of the new store.

Salesmen and delivery people are easy to find, and after posting recruitment announcements, more than ten or twenty people can come to the door a day.

After applying for the patent, Han Chudong returned to Chinatown to continue to deal with business matters, and saw Zhou Nan and his Laozi from a distance, followed by several young and strong men, he walked over and said with a smile:

"Uncle Zhou, otherwise, you should not deliver the goods in person, I will give you a promotion and a salary increase, and stay in the warehouse to arrange the purchase and delivery. If you have nothing to do, read the newspaper, watch TV, make a cup of tea and drink, how comfortable is that, I'll give you 700 dollars a month, okay?"

Yesterday we talked about it, but the other party did not agree.

The warehouse is rented and the goods are in storage, but there is no trustworthy person to take care of it.

If it weren't for Han Yigun's special work, which could deter a group of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods like a door god, Han Chudong would have wanted to pull him over to help look at the warehouse, and he would definitely earn more than he is now.

The watermelon head looked embarrassed, in fact, he earns a lot now, doing hard work to help carry refrigerators, TVs and other major appliances, and he can collect some money upstairs.

It's not that I can't look down on the monthly salary of 700 US dollars.

Look at how comfortable the warehouse is, except for a little hot spot in summer, the rest of the time does not need to be exposed to the wind and sun, Uncle Zhou is actually quite excited, hesitated and told him: "The main thing is that your aunt is at home alone, I don't worry, if you sleep in the warehouse at night, you can only go home on holidays, if the warehouse is in Chinatown, forget it, it is separated by several miles, it is inconvenient to go back and forth." ”

"Hey, you said earlier, Auntie, she is still working in the factory, go directly with you, help do some chores, make lunch for the delivery group, and also help register the accounts of incoming and outgoing goods.

If you can do it, let my aunt do it, but I can't go to a store close to the warehouse, a warehouse worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, let others come to see me, I really don't feel at ease. ”

The number of stores will soon be expanded to eight, and based on the current daily sales volume, there is sufficient stock.

It's not that he's pointing fingers at the watermelon head, anyway, it costs money to ask other people to work, it's better to have cheap friends' parents, who know each other at home, know the roots, and it's safer.

Uncle Zhou and his wife are honest and dutiful, suitable for this kind of work, and offer a monthly salary of 700 US dollars a month, which is almost the same as that of the white-collar workers in New York, and there is really no disadvantage.

Although he didn't want to leave home, considering that Han Chudong had helped his family too much, and he also brought his stupid son Zhou Nan who had not made a fortune before, Uncle Zhou did not refuse this time, and told: "Okay, I just went to the warehouse to continue to teach these apprentices, as for your aunt's work, let's say goodbye, it's okay to cook, but I can't even speak English, how can I keep accounts and be sales." ”

"As long as you know how to cook, let's see when the time comes, there is always a suitable job. ”

After solving another matter, Han Chudong smiled and continued to ask: "Where has Zhou Nan been, he hasn't been back for a few days, right?"

"I just talked on the phone yesterday and ran sales in the south, by the way, I will invite you and your family to have a meal when I have time, remember to talk to your parents and them. ”

"I really don't need this, I'll invite you to dinner when I find a chance......

——————————

After the recruitment was over, the white man who was sent by Han Chudong to work at Baofeng Electric was named Joe Austin.

Not counting the Commander of the Light Pole.

According to the position, he is under the control of Han Chudong, and below him are salesmen and delivery men.

Still familiar with the business, Mr. Austin looked at the performance for a period of time and was full of confidence in the chain store called Baofeng Electric.

In terms of personality, he is quite gentle, his subordinates are so orderly, and he is pressed by the boss, and it is not his turn to "take office as a new official with three fires".

It can be seen that the ability is there, and I can already help do some work, and I am recently responsible for training new employees and staring at the decoration of the new store.

Storm Electric has no office, and Mr. Austin rubs a desk on the side of Mango Toy Company.

When Han Chudong saw him upstairs, he said casually: "I have invited someone to manage the warehouse, it is my friend's father, remember to be friendly." How are the salesmen trained? In two days, they will be open one after another, and all the signs will be hung up, and there will be so many stores by then, you remember to drive around and keep an eye on them. ”

Mr. Austin sat there and replied:

"I think it's better to open all of them at once, and when they get acquainted with it and know what they should and shouldn't do, the rest of the stores will be open.

Boss, didn't you take out two old employees to be store managers, then open two stores first, divide the new employees into two batches, continue to intern, and if you continue to open branches, you can select a store manager from one of the eight stores, and you don't have to be in such a hurry as this time. ”

"Good suggestion, I'm going to plan an event during the opening period, where consumers bring in old appliances to offset some of the price of new goods.

Come with me to my office, Joe, I'll talk to you about the specifics, hurry up and make posters and put them on the doors of those new stores, which will be the beginning of our company's domination of the surrounding area......"
