Chapter 38: Profiteering from Risk
The so-called AA system is the result of the continuous rise of women's rights in the West.
In the early seventies, men and women were mainly paying for their meals.
Han Chudong found a good Western restaurant, the meal time was a little early, and there were not many guests around.
Seeing that Miss Bergman meant to drink, she also ordered a bottle of ordinary red wine, and according to her financial arrangement, more than 60 US dollars was enough for a full meal.
The two didn't know each other before.
The reason why he took the initiative to attack was purely because Han Chudong saw the color, and he couldn't see whether his personality was compatible or not for the time being, but Miss Bergman was really beautiful.
may not conform to the aesthetics of this era, but the beauty temperament of the golden age of Hollywood on his body is very in line with his aesthetics.
They're all adults.
Miss Bergman could vaguely sense Han Chudong's meaning, but since she didn't refuse the invitation to dinner, most of the time she didn't give him a chance to pursue herself.
How can there be so much love at first sight with each other, this kind of slow-moving socialization is the norm.
The last time we had a brief conversation in a café, today sitting in the restaurant, she can already talk about her family situation.
His father worked as a small manager in a shoe factory, and his mother came to the United States before she started looking for a job, and is currently taking some jobs every now and then, and is an illustrator, mainly helping with children's books.
It's not very rich, but it leaves some money after the death of the elders in the family, and it is also a relatively high kind of middle-class family group.
Miss Bergman mentioned it herself, but Han Chudong didn't ask, and he didn't expect to be a little white face.
You can't just sit stupid and talk about these topics naturally.
The vinyl record player has a large horn in the shape of a morning glory.
Elvis Presley's song is still popular, his fame is in full swing, he is living well, and the song "Blue Hawaii" is enduring.
Start with onion rings and ham as an appetizer, and take a small sip of it in a clinking glass, and you won't taste good or bad.
A bottle of red wine costs $30, which is almost equal to two days' wages for an average person.
But when I thought that this was a 1972 red wine, earlier than the 1982 wine, I immediately felt that it was worth the money.
I suddenly found that even if I didn't do anything else, I was desperately saving top red wine now, and I was likely to make a fortune in the future, and the wine in the cup became even better.
When I first came, I wasn't used to people's dress, but after watching it for a long time, it was very good, and it felt like living in a retro old movie.
The lady led her dog to pass by the window, the street was full of classic cars in Han Chudong's mind, and after slowly accepting the new life, she had to admit that in addition to regretting the family members who may never see her again, it may be a good thing to have an accident.
The days since this time have been wonderful and fulfilling.
The most commendable thing is to have ideals, want to start a business, want to make a fortune, and want to change the world through yourself.
Miss Bergman, who was sitting across from him, could feel Han Chudong's confidence at this moment.
When I heard that I wanted to ask my mother to help design the company's logo, I readily agreed......
Han Chudong was busy pursuing the girl.
His hair boys, that is, the army and the watermelon heads, are in a hurry.
In the morning, a few people invested in the wholesale of four hundred super magic balls from Han Chudong, which were all sold out before the evening, and they were in a hurry to continue to buy, but they couldn't find Han Chudong.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in front of his house and guarding.
In the afternoon, Zhou Nan, the head of watermelon, went to contact several toy retail stores, and the replies he got were all agreeing to buy, ranging from thirty to two hundred, and the owner of the largest toy store wanted to wholesale two hundred in one bite, but the price had to be slightly conceded, and talked about five dollars and thirty cents.
As a middleman, the watermelon head tries to make a profit from it.
The price he took from Han Chudong was five dollars, and the price he offered to the toy store was five dollars and fifty cents, and the unified retail price was tentatively set at eight dollars.
Previously, you could get a discount by buying three, but since you found that you can sell it smoothly even if the price is higher, these downlines who run sales are gradually unwilling to sell at a lower price.
I've never done such a big business.
The army was impatient, and had already negotiated with those merchants, so they sent the goods over, how could they not be in a hurry.
Sitting on the stairs smoking a cigarette at the door of Han Chudong's house, he asked with a sad face, "Why don't I go to find Uncle Han, or his grandfather will come back and open the door?" ”
"Don't do it, it should be almost time to get off work at this point, maybe it's on the way back. ”
Zhou Nan, the head of the watermelon, said while eating a hot dog that he had made a lot of money recently, and he added an extra meat sausage very generously, and he ate it until the oil was in his mouth.
"Damn, I can't even see a human shadow. ”
Dajun sighed deeply and made up his mind to say: "Let's get more goods later, anyway, don't worry about selling, and then give the purchase money to Xiaodong when they are sold." ”
"I also want to take more, and tomorrow I will continue to run to the schools in the city, although the wholesale to the merchants earns less, but it is more worry-free. I heard that the black school boss sold it for fifteen dollars a piece, and whoever didn't buy it would beat him, and that one made a lot of money. ”
"Looking for death, when the surrounding merchants start selling, it won't be his turn to make money. ”
The two were chatting, and Han Chudong's mother showed his face from the stairs.
The army and the watermelon head instantly cheered up, immediately called Auntie, and then hurriedly said that they wanted to buy the goods, and after putting down the money, they left with three large boxes of goods, a total of six hundred.
Frightened by this bag of money, seeing that her son's two friends were about to leave after closing the door, she shouted: "Stay for a meal and then leave, Auntie will do it now." ”
"No, I'm busy delivering goods, I can make another money when I go out to set up a stall at this time, remember to say hello to Xiaodong, and say that I will meet at the bald barbecue at nine o'clock in the evening!"
The sound of watermelon heads came.
After the two left, Han Chudong's mother counted the money, a bundle of fifty dollars, a total of three thousand dollars.
When the teacher got a dead salary, most of the income was in front of her, and it took a long time to calm down, wondering how the business was so good.
......
Yo-yos are not very technical.
It's only been a few days since it appeared on the market, and someone has already started the idea of it.
The cause starts with a little guy named Yang Hongyi.
A few days ago, he lied to his family that the school was going to collect money, and this lie had already been fulfilled, but after he learned the price of this super magic ball from a friend, he suddenly found out that his son also had one.
After going home and bluffing, Yang Hongyi cried and knelt on the 1510 to tell what had happened.
He opened a small factory specializing in the production of plastic pots and garbage cans, and instead of continuing to teach his son, he studied the super magic ball.
It's fairly simple to take apart and find that you can do it yourself, and where can it be worth so much money.
There is not much concept of patent rights, and it is not even clear whether the toy is patented.
After pondering it, he felt that he could do it, and when Han Chudong was eating with Miss Bergman, he had already asked the master in the small factory to help him make such a toy out of plastic.
I didn't expect that the owner who invented this toy also lived near Chinatown, and wanted to do more to make a profit and make some money to subsidize the factory's losses.
The small abacus clanged, and it didn't take long for a plastic yo-yo to be made, which could be played with after being assembled.
After the calculation, excluding the ball bearings, which are slightly more expensive, the total adds up to less than fifty-five cents.
If it is mass-produced, the cost can be reduced even more.
The boss, surnamed Yang, pondered all night, and finally made up his mind to produce a batch with all his might, and then find a truck and sell it to toy stores everywhere.
A profit of three or four hundred percent is enough to make people take risks......
