Chapter 61: Enriching the product line
The ages are different.
Some things that will be cheap in the future will be expensive now, and some things that will be expensive in the future will be cheap now.
In the case of jadeite, the price is not much higher than that of stone.
There are not many goods in the store, bright green pendant bracelets, and cabbage prices are sold to the outside world, even Han Chudong, who does not know how to do it, can see that this batch of jadeite is of extremely high quality, so he spent a little money to cover it all.
It's a pity that the carver doesn't know how to make good materials, and the craftsmanship is simply a waste of raw materials.
If you have the patience to wait slowly, now you can stock up on more antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade and jade, etc., so that he will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future.
However, thinking that he might have to wait for thirty or forty years, Han Chudong lost interest in an instant, so he should add some small hobbies to himself, and do whatever he wants, thinking that he can buy more after the business grows.
It costs more than $2,000 to buy clothes and watches.
If this money is used to invest in antiques, it may be 200 million, 300 million dollars, or even more in the future.
Thinking about it this way, it is understandable why Han Chudong feels that he will definitely be able to make a fortune in his life......
In the two storm electrical appliance stores, a store manager and a salesman were hired to help watch.
To write invoices for selling goods, the number must be matched with the money in the drawer, and the number of purchases and shipments from the warehouse must also be matched.
On the side of Mango Toy Company, the number of shipments and sales should also be matched, and then look at the money, it is clear whether anyone is playing tricks.
Being the boss can be stupid, but he must not manage the money badly, after all, employees who have bad intentions will not write their thoughts clearly on their faces, there must be rules and regulations, Han Chudong did not dare to slack off.
Someone was hired to help with the sales.
After returning from the city and looking around, he went to the job market, hired a carpenter who was said to be the best craft, took the guy and the wood, and followed him directly to the electrical warehouse.
Now that he has decided to go to Chicago next week for a toy fair, the more toys he can sell, the better, and he plans to bring a few more small things with him.
He was in the warehouse with an honest carpenter with dirty clothes.
Han Chudong was laying paper on the table, drawing drawings with a ruler and compass, and the carpenter was standing there with a box on his back, still holding a wooden board in his hand, and the little boss in front of him asked him to bring it.
After standing there for a while, the carpenter surnamed Liu remembered that he could put down the toolbox, and saw that there was no wood in this room, and there was no furniture that needed to be repaired, and he was a little panicked.
Thinking about it, I have no money, and I am not a beautiful big girl, there is a yellow-faced woman in the family who has a straight face all day long, and a bad temper and stinky woman, no one is rare at all, and the young boss in front of me who looks very rich can do something for himself, so he is extremely relieved.
Don't bother, just put down the toolbox and sit there, anyway, it's thirty dollars a day, the deposit has been paid, of course it's good to be idle.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Someone suddenly came in the warehouse, and the watermelon head came to take a look, and said with a smile: "I saw the door of the warehouse open, and I thought there was a thief, what are you doing?"
Han Chudong raised his head and replied with a smile: "Please ask someone to help get some small things out, Uncle Zhou, come and get the goods?"
"Well, there is a restaurant that bought two freezers, and there are a bunch of goods waiting for us to deliver, business is good today, just move the TV upstairs and go several times. ”
When he said this, Uncle Zhou laughed so much that he couldn't close his mouth, tired and tired, but he earned a lot of money, and he earned some coolie money when he delivered the goods, all of which belonged to him and another young man who delivered the goods, Han Chudong didn't want a cent.
The only premise is that the service must be good, and you can't overcharge, move up to a few floors, the distance, these are clearly marked with prices, and users can know how much to pay when they buy.
He is a sincere man, and sometimes he moves two more floors and helps move old appliances downstairs, and the money is not collected separately.
Electrical packaging boxes and old household appliances that others don't want can also be sold to scrap collectors to make a little money, which is much higher than the previous salary in the factory, so I have a lot of energy to work.
"Hey, let me know when you're running out of manpower, and you can help find one or two more energetic friends, with the same salary as you. ”
"Enough is enough, I can still be busy for the time being, I really can't work overtime, Xiao Zhang and I are still fine. ”
Afraid of a partner who would rob business, Uncle Zhou hurriedly came to the sentence, and after finishing speaking, he went to work first, preparing to save more money for the watermelon head to marry his daughter-in-law.
My son is busy, he is busy, he can earn money, and there is hope for this day......
Han Chudong first drew the simplest bamboo dragonfly, which is the kind that can fly in the palm of his hand and turn around.
"This thing...... I can do it, but it's a little more complicated, and I did it for my son when he was a kid. ”
The willow carpenter scratched his head, the drawings were concise and clear, and he couldn't figure out how anyone could spend so much money to make such a small thing.
"Then you try first, make a few more kinds of out, the blades have big and small ones, I'll see which one flies the longest, this is simple, I'll draw another one, that can be exquisite craftsmanship." ”
Han Chudong continued to draw after speaking, this time he drew a hand-pushed bamboo dragonfly, a spiral stick, plus a round flying leaf, just like a helicopter screw, which can fly into the sky with one push.
The former has been there for a long time, and the hand-pushed version doesn't seem to have appeared yet, after all, even Han Chudong hadn't seen it when he was a child, and then he suddenly appeared in the market, and there are stalls selling this everywhere.
I know the principle, but I still have to experiment slowly to figure out what specifications are most suitable.
In addition to these two small toys, I am also going to make an oversized bubble stick, preferably a large bubble with a diameter of half a meter, these gadgets can be sold with magic balls, the price is cheap, but the market is vast.
There's a lot of stuff in my head, as well as countless cute puppet patterns and toys.
Some people can come up with it, but they can't draw it, and Han Chudong has a strong hands-on ability, and he can always use a ruler compass to draw the drawings in his mind and mark the numbers.
The hand-rubbed bamboo dragonflies are simple, and at six o'clock in the evening, I took five polished wooden bamboo dragonflies to the outside for experiments, all of which were a bit heavy, and finally picked out a style.
As for the hand-pushed version of the bamboo dragonfly, the spiral rod style is more complicated, and the willow carpenter's head is bigger, but not only the spiral, the angle is exquisite, and in the end I only said that I would go home and try it at night.
......
For several days.
Han Chudong was so busy that he couldn't see people, sometimes he went home with fabrics, sometimes he was busy until late at night, and even his parents didn't know what they were doing, only to find out later that there were a few more international patent application forms on his desk, and there were some strange little things.
On the morning of October 10th.
He rushed to LA airport with watermelon heads.
Airfares are too high, there are not many people in the seats, and some people prefer to spend more time taking the car or train in order to save money.
The high ticket price has the advantage of a high ticket price, even if it is only economy class, the seat is also more spacious.
Zhou Nan took a plane for the first time, and his face turned pale with fright.
Originally, the army was going to come over, but later he quietly told Han Chudong that he was afraid of heights, and he didn't dare to follow with a sad face.
The destination is Chicago.
At this time, Han Chudong was very excited, he had already found the number yesterday, called the so-called American Toy Association, and decided to rent a booth......
