Chapter 36: Father and Son
Hearing that there was a job to introduce to him at that time, Sun Laosan immediately came to his senses.
Tell Han Chudong to say:
"I was just talking to your dad about opening a store, and the place I chose was very good, and it was easy to remember the people coming and going, but the rent was too high, and you rented three rooms, in fact, renting two rooms was enough.
This business can definitely be done, no one can lack household appliances, but it is estimated that it will take two years at the beginning, and the business will be better when there are old customers, but the rent cost is so high, and the pressure is probably not small. ”
The reason why Han Chudong thinks that selling appliances is better than selling toys.
The main reason is that after the business is good, household appliances can be sold all the time, and toys will soon be in a downturn after a while.
Moreover, game consoles and personal computers are developing, and when all kinds of household appliances are still necessities, the appeal of toys to children will plummet.
Don't look at Sun Laosan's home appliances that he has repaired for so many years, he seems to be more experienced, but in fact, his experience is not much help to Han Chudong.
The horizon is there.
I have seen all kinds of home appliance sales malls, and I have also personally gone to Suning, Best Buy and other stores to buy things.
Knowing that personal retail outlets are vulnerable in front of chain home appliance malls, they are at a disadvantage in terms of product types, prices and after-sales, and now the retail market has just shown signs of chain giantization, which is a good time to enter the development.
Just last year, Walmart Inc. had just landed on the New York Stock Exchange, and some people were starting to learn its business model, and the era of retail oligarchy had just begun.
Han Chudong doesn't have the capital to engage in supermarkets for the time being, but he can try to sell some electrical appliances first, gradually accumulate capital, and enter a broader market, he has a big game of chess in his heart.
Whether it is Han Yigun or Sun Laosan, they can't guess how big Han Chudong's appetite is, so naturally they won't consider the problem from his point of view.
He Lao Tzu agreed with this, nodded and said: "Son, you have to listen to your master's words more, I have been dealing with electrical appliances for so many years, and I must be more experienced." Since you have invested so much money, and you want us to pay for it to support you, you must do it seriously, and don't let up on the yo-yo side, tomorrow I will go to the bank to withdraw some of your wife's book, and pay the rent first. ”
"I've already paid it, I just signed a lease with Brother Hou, and I'm thinking of the name of the store. ”
As an elder, I always like to pass on some experience as a person who has come before.
It's not a bad word, Han Chudong's left ear went in and out of his right ear, he smiled and said, and handed over the lease to his father.
Father Han was slightly stunned.
He remembered that just last week, his son didn't have the money to pay the rent, and after looking at the rent, he gasped, and said from between his teeth: "This is more than 20,000 US dollars!?"
"It's okay, the sales channel is not good, otherwise it will be sold all over the world, this is only half of Los Angeles, maybe you won't have to pay for it to open the store by then." ”
The tone is understated, Han Chudong recently went out to set up a stall early in the morning and didn't come back until late, and rarely talked to his family about his business.
His family only knew that the goods piled up in the living room were decreasing, but they didn't know how much money Han Chudong was making.
“…… Fortunately, I didn't agree to give you money to open a store, otherwise you wouldn't have made the money. Knowing that his son had earned more than 20,000 dollars in a few days, Han Yi's gunman trembled a little, and his mouth opened slightly with excitement.
Glancing at him, Han Chudong's tone was contemptuous: "You really will put gold on your face, and a light sentence will become your credit?"
"Not all, but I also have my credit, and the ability to make money is really forced. What's that, I'll help you worry about buying appliances, and when the time comes, let the old man go to the store first, and you go sell more yo-yos first.
If this is sold all over the world, how much money will it make! Fortunately, it has applied for a patent!"
When he said the latter sentence, astronomical numbers flashed in his head, and he scared himself first, and Father Han's eyes were about to glow.
"It's not that easy, my price is too high, and pirated goods will appear soon after making a profit, and it is estimated that there are already toy manufacturers eyeing it. ”
Han Chudong added after speaking: "I really need your help with the purchase of goods, I may go out these days and want to talk to a professional toy company."
Third brother, can you help find a reliable wholesale channel for household appliances? refrigerators, televisions, telephones, ovens, microwave ovens, washing machines, typewriters or something, the variety is as complete as possible. ”
"Let's do it...... Who will you fix if it is broken in the future?" Sun Laosan overheard now, and when he spoke, he squinted at the archway not far away, thinking that this apprentice should not really be able to make a fortune with toys.
As for selling electricity, because he knows this industry very well, he doesn't think he can earn much, it is possible to be rich, and he doesn't want to think about making a fortune.
The concept of home appliance retail is still stuck in that brand retail store.
"It's a little bit promising, okay, when I get mixed up in the future, you can close your store and come to work under me, and the salary will definitely be higher than now!"
"Cheng, just have your words, I often order accessories, and I will help you ask when I am free. Sun Laosan replied.
……
Leave the repair shop.
The father and son walked together, ready to buy wonton noodles to eat, and went to their old man's dry goods store by the way.
From childhood to adulthood on this street, Han Yigun is familiar with the nearby vendors, whose son is a gang, whose daughter is a junior, etc., all of them are like treasures.
Han Chudong pushed the bicycle and listened to it with relish, and whenever he saw someone playing yo-yo, he couldn't help laughing, they were all benefactors who gave him money.
It's a pity that most of the money earned so far has been given to the landlord, which is equivalent to helping Brother Hou earn a lot, and it's also depressing to think about it.
There is a poster posted at the door of the movie theater, writing "Enter the Dragon" in Chinese and English, Bruce Lee just died young, and in the early month after his death, the film company took advantage of the heat to come out to make money, which is a bit similar to the seventh part of "Fast and Furious" in Han Chudong's memory.
I know the famous Bruce Lee, but I have never seen his movies, and I want to come and watch it when I have time.
I accompanied my dad all the way to the noodle shop, and as soon as I sat down, I heard my dad say, "By the way, I saw your very good-looking little girlfriend before, the blonde white girl I have seen, and I haven't been in touch with her recently?"
"Huh, where did you see that?"
At the beginning, Han Chudong left her the number, but she never received a call from Miss Helena Bergman, and she may have called, but no one at home received it.
There is no message function, and there is no caller ID, which makes communication very troublesome, and it is impossible to sit by the landline phone all day long, and whether you can receive it all depends on luck.
It's been a while since I last saw her.
During this period, I haven't met a girl who makes Han Chudong's heart more exciting than Miss Bergman, so the good impression is still there.
Men, in fact, that's the case, unless there is no room for choice, or they prefer to put their appearance at the top of the criteria for choosing a mate, and then they will consider whether their character is good or not, whether they are suitable for themselves, and so on.
Han Yigun told: "It's just the dance hall in the west, three blocks away, when I saw her wearing a ballet dress, I never asked you, is she going to school or what?"
But I have to tell you in advance, it's not good if my wife is too beautiful, and if I don't have enough strength, I will be remembered by other men, there were a lot of people who chased your mother back then, if I wasn't excellent, I might not have you. ”
"I'm really not familiar with her, three blocks, let's go to the movies with her later, lend me fifty dollars first. ”
"Why are you asking me for money when you watch a movie?
But...... I gave this money, if you have the ability, you can bring me a mixed-race grandson back, do you want me to find someone to let you come to the hero to save the beauty? I know a lot of gangsters, and it will not be a problem to find ten or eight to accompany you in a scene. ”
“……”
Quickly finished eating wonton noodles and found the dance hall where I studied ballet.
Located just three blocks from the main Chinatown thoroughfare, the streets are populated by whites, many Europeans live nearby, and housing prices are cheaper than in the city.
Han Chudong swaggered upstairs, looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw Miss Bergman.
Wearing a white suspender, he dances elegantly.
