Chapter 35 Renting and Refunds
Such a short period of time.
There is no copycat business to react, and of course there are no toys of the same type.
It's still a good time to expand.
Compared with going out to sell by himself, Han Chudong currently pays more attention to finding agents, and the watermelon head and Dajun have found some friends to help, and they are all wholesale from him at the "cost price" of five US dollars each, and then look for sales everywhere.
After starting a wholesale business, the profit of a single fell to more than three dollars, but the sales volume is rising steadily, and the inventory at home is decreasing, and it is estimated that it will not be long before I have to go to the mold factory again to customize a batch.
The patent has not yet been approved.
Without computer collaboration, it can take a year or two to complete the process from patent application to approval.
According to the principle of who applies first, the patent belongs to whom, Han Chudong is confident that he will pass the approval, so he is already looking for a suitable toy manufacturer and is ready to talk to the other party about cooperation, otherwise it will be too difficult for him to eat the entire American market on his own.
Seeing that yo-yos were so easy to sell, the original method of selling patents was gradually left behind by him.
Now I prefer to continue to hold patents and then cooperate with a toy company or a giant that controls the toy sales channel, rather than just make a one-shot deal.
is already looking for a professional company to help, ready to open his own toy company, Han Chudong still has a lot of interesting small toys in his head, which can be gradually put into the market in the future, this business is quite good in his opinion, not necessarily worse than the home appliance sales industry.
When I first started to do business, I always thought about it more......
It has been a few days since the deposit was paid to Brother Hou's shop.
More than an hour ago, Dajun and his friends went to Han Chudong's house to pick up the goods, and took away 400 yo-yos for 2,000 US dollars, saying that they were going to go to a farther school to sell.
At this time, Han Chudong happened to have money in his hands.
I simply counted some money and came out, and after packing it in a box, I called Brother Da Hou and asked him to go to the bank door to get the balance of the rent in half an hour.
Before going out, I also wrote a lease agreement, and wrote everything I could think of, including the rent increase of less than 5% per year, a total of 10 years of rent, and liquidated damages of 20,000 US dollars.
It's not too formal, but it has legal effect as long as it's signed.
has been stained with the light of my father, which makes the rent cheaper, but these vouchers on the paper are still indispensable, after all, the man surnamed Hou is not very clean, and it is right to get along with this kind of person, and everything is right to make a few more turns in his mind.
The reason why the rent was lowered to 20,000 dollars, in Han Chudong's view, Brother Hou mainly wanted to catch up with his own Laozi, and let go of his shady business in the future.
I'm afraid that Han Yigun will get into unnecessary trouble.
So I checked the contract carefully again, and then I went out with a small cardboard box full of money, mostly some loose banknotes, which took up a lot of space.
……
Arrived at the agreed place shortly after.
Brother Hou drove the Mercedes-Benz to come, and when he got out of the car, he said happily: "Don't worry about the rent or anything, I didn't rush you, didn't you say that you are short of money to do business, take the money to invest first, and then give it to me when you earn money." ”
It's just a pretty word.
Saying this, he didn't hesitate at all when he took the cardboard box from Han Chudong's hand, he opened it and looked inside, and then closed it again.
Han Chudong took out his handwritten lease and said with a smile on his face: "It's all bits and pieces of cash, a total of 17,000 dollars, and I will directly deposit it in the bank for the number of people to count later." After confirming that it was right, we signed this lease, or did we tell you at the time, the rent will rise by five points every year, if I don't rent, I will pay you 20,000 US dollars, you can take a look first?"
"Well, don't deposit in the bank, it just so happens that I'm always short of change, and I need to use mahjong to push pai gow. ”
Brother Hou took the contract, and said while looking at it: "The matter of selling electrical appliances has not been done yet, if you have any trouble, tell me, I will give you the key when I paid the deposit last time, and you can open a business at any time, don't delay you from starting a business because of such a trivial matter." ”
It is true that I can occasionally feel comfortable talking to this kind of mixed human character, but Han Chudong has not forgotten how aggressive the man in front of him was when they met for the first time.
To put it bluntly, it is still the Lao Tzu in the family who can help him, and the enthusiasm for distinguishing is still clear.
There is no need to offend anyone for no reason, Han Chudong nodded with a smile and replied: "My dad said that the rules that should be followed still have to be followed, and the rent has not been paid, how can you open a store." Tomorrow we will start to decorate, move some shelves, change signs, and we will almost be able to start business. ”
"Your dad has been dealing with me for more than ten years, and he is a very good person, but his temper is a little worse. Just sign here, I'll have something to do later, and when you open your business, I'll give you a cheer and buy something. ”
——————
After signing, take the rent away, and the lease contract will be one for each person.
After working hard for several days, the money earned was gone in a blink of an eye, and there were more than 2,000 US dollars left at home, but this time I could borrow some emergency from my parents first, and I had already discussed this matter last night.
Thinking that he was about to have two profitable businesses, Han Chudong was in a very good mood.
A few days ago, I was busy with yo-yos, delaying the search for purchase channels, thinking that there should be the numbers of those home appliance agents on the yellow leaves, since small stores can find the source of goods, Han Chudong is not afraid that he will not find it.
There's no need to rush just yet.
The key to the store is in the pocket of your jeans, and if you ride a bicycle at this time, you will first go to the plaque of Meng Ou Zhifeng.
When I opened the door, a thin layer of ash had fallen into the shop, and most of the things had been emptied, leaving only some garbage.
I don't plan to spend much money on decoration, but I have to think about the name of the store, and when I see people coming and going at the door, I have already begun to fantasize about the scene after opening the store.
From the very beginning, Han Chudong was preparing to enter the field of home appliance sales with the chain sales model.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and the road has to go step by step, everything is difficult at the beginning, and now I have rented three stores.
Get ready to keep planning.
Think about the sales model, think about the name of the store, and then start to do it.
I happened to come to Chinatown, and I hadn't been to Sun Laosan's home appliance repair shop for a few days, and Han Chudong had something to talk to about this master.
Arrived at the door of the store.
Unexpectedly, I saw a middle-aged man in a police uniform, who was leaning against the door of the store and counting the money, wasn't it Han Yigun, his expression was beautiful, and he stuffed the money into his pocket in a blink of an eye.
And Sun Laosan had a loveless face, smoking a cigarette, and rolling his eyes at Han Chudong and his son from time to time.
Han Chudong parked his bicycle and said to his father: "Yo! Officer Han came to collect protection money, aren't you bullying my third brother!
"Nonsense, this is the cost of your apprenticeship, and now you don't want to learn, Sun Laosan has to return 400 to me. ”
Han Yigun's tone was cheerful, probably because he didn't expect to see the money back, his wife was in charge of the money, and the money was going to be used to fill his small treasury.
Sun Laosan was even more miserable.
Usually he slammed the door, and the four hundred dollars in his pocket flew away in a blink of an eye, and this old bachelor is now very worried.
Looking up at Han Chudong, Yin and Yang said angrily: "You kid really don't learn? Yes, I heard you Lao Tzu say that you make a lot of money by selling toys, and you can't look down on the three melons and two dates of repairing electrical appliances, pity me as a master, a craft has been learned by you, and you have to be shamelessly forced to refund the tuition." ”
scolded both father and son.
It was clear who should be helped, Han Chudong followed and said:
"I said, why are you so kind, use me as a coolie, and even charge tuition?
I was thinking that when my store that sells electrical appliances opens, I will introduce you to the door-to-door maintenance business, but if I don't invite me to a barbecue, it will definitely be yellow......"
