Chapter 99: Subpoenas
With ready-made battery technology in his head, it was the knowledge that Han Chudong had learned in class when he was a freshman.
There are no complicated materials, and the process of developing alkaline dry batteries is relatively smooth, and the capacity is increased on the same day, and it can be commercialized after the production process is improved.
It takes time to prepare for the production line, and the factory address is still prepared to be located near Chinatown, taking advantage of the cheap labor and convenient transportation here to save costs.
For environmental protection, not too much attention is paid to it at present.
Stay in the so-called "Mason Lab".
While the researchers continued to make battery samples, Han Chudong was busy working alone, using foam to make the body, selecting the parts that could be used from a large pile of toys, piecing together them, and making a rear-wheel drive version of the toy car in the evening.
The battery uses its own battery, the speed is not bad, and if you add a transmission rod, you can become a four-wheel drive.
In his opinion.
This is a product that has been selling well for at least 20 years and has been bringing in a steady stream of revenue, so it is more important.
It's a pity that this original toy car was quickly targeted by the Alaskan Malamute cub and fell apart as soon as he stepped down.
That's okay.
He has already drawn a rough model drawing, and then applied for a patent, and then started mass production at the right time, the process is not complicated, and the parts are directly boxed, so that consumers can assemble them themselves according to the instructions, and even the assembly link is saved.
From another point of view, it may also stimulate battery sales and save an advertising fee.
More than two million US dollars can be used as an investment, and there are more opportunities to make money, but at present, they are all gadgets that rely on the amount to make money, and the project of producing and selling dry batteries has not yet been completed, so Han Chudong continues to consider other projects.
He wanted to make a product that was like Wang An's computer company's typewriter, with a higher profit per item, and that kind of thing made money faster.
It's just that I don't have a clue yet.
The level of technology is not enough to produce personal computers, and the cost of entering the field of automobile manufacturing is too high.
At present, the three major profiteering industries recognized in the world, oil, munitions, and drugs*, the first two Han Chudong can't enter, and he doesn't dare to touch the last one.
The second best thing is real estate, insurance, banks, brokerages and other Wall Street people's favorite business, real estate must not be touched at present, the economy is constantly moving towards a depression, the last three he has a little idea, but because he does not understand enough, the capital is not enough, so it only stays in the fantasy stage.
The money is slow, and the profiteering industry needs high investment, and it makes some money in the short term, and Han Chudong is a little inflated again......
It was more than five o'clock in the afternoon.
First, as usual, I went to the company to read the accounts.
According to Mr. Joe Austin, the No. 8 store of Baofeng Electric has sold more than 20,000 US dollars today, and it is estimated that there will be a wave of peak sales by the evening.
A few words of praise can be regarded as cheering, Han Chudong continued:
"Joe, you're going to take a walk around Los Angeles tomorrow and see where the right stores are. If the progress is fast enough, it may also catch the peak sales of Thanksgiving, the store in Echo Park is too small, it is better to expand two or three times, Hollywood, Long Beach, East Los Angeles and other densely populated places, and so on next year should all have a storm electrical appliances. ”
"But you said a few days ago that you should stop and digest for a while, let the new employees adapt to the company model, and train a group of salesmen and delivery people. ”
"Those are still according to the plan, there is still more than half a month to prepare, I have invented a very profitable product, don't worry about the capital, it is good to accelerate the expansion appropriately." ”
When Mr. Austin heard Han Chudong's words, he was a little speechless.
It's not that I'm questioning Han Chudong's decision, but I'm thinking about how such a young Chinese has so many ideas of making money in his head.
If he showed him the report card of the previous "Han Chudong", Mr. Austin probably wouldn't think so, and replied with an OK gesture: "Okay boss, I'll look around tomorrow, bring a map, and show you the location of the selected store......
The current head of Mango Toys is Wilbur Vanaro, a thirty-five-year-old who seems to be more sedate and previously held a marketing assistant position in the product division at Disney.
He came to Han Chudong's side with a letter at this moment, and whispered, "I have something I need to talk to you about in private, go to your office?"
Han Chudong thought he was going to resign, and when he saw the words "Los Angeles Federal Court" written on the envelope, he realized that it was a subpoena.
Nodding his head and walking into the office, he took the summons and opened it to check.
It says that a company called "Duncan YO-YO" claims that the Super Magic Ball infringes their appearance patent and needs to go to court in a week to find out.
"It's to see that our company makes money, so it's red-eyed, yo-yos have appeared a long time ago, they are all like that, why do we say that we infringe on its patents? Not to mention the funny appearance patent, I dare to say that our yo-yo is absolutely original, I will go over with the lawyer next week, it's not a big deal." ”
With disapproval in his tone, Han Chudong didn't take it seriously at all.
The patent for a roller yo-yo was filed almost two months ago, and the patent has been approved, indicating that no one has applied for the same patent, at least in the United States.
Mr. Wilbur Varnello told: "I also don't think it's a big problem, the Super Magic Ball is very popular, almost no one buys traditional yo-yos anymore, Duncan Yo-Yo Company is selling traditional yo-yos, the shape is not the same, you can't think that we are infringing just because they are round, maybe it's just hype." ”
"It's okay, we make more money, it's normal to be remembered, remember to find someone to keep an eye on this company, I didn't infringe on its patents, but I'm worried that this company is infringing on my patents. ”
The dog was still in the car, Han Chudong put the summons on the table after speaking, stretched his waist and continued to speak: "By the way, are there any pirated products that imitate our company on the market?"
"Agents haven't given feedback, so there shouldn't be, do you know who is pirating our products?"
"Just ask, wait for next year to arrange people, go to the toy wholesale market around the spot check, remember to remind those agents, if you find out who is selling pirated products, directly cancel the agency, and hold accountable. Don't tell them directly, but let them know my attitude, understand?"
Comprehending Han Chudong's meaning, Mr. Vanaro nodded and asked, "Do you know a good lawyer, it is very important to hire an excellent lawyer, as far as I know, Mango Toys does not have a legal adviser yet, right?" ”
"Well, don't worry, if you have money, are you afraid that you won't find a good lawyer, you guys can get off work when you're done, I'll go home first......"
