Try to move the jade watermelon, the weight is more than ten catties, as Li Ping'an said, it is very troublesome to take it home.

However, knowing that the value of jadeite was going to appreciate, this gave Su Mu full of motivation, and finally selected a few jadeite jewelry, including a string of one hundred and eight full green bracelets, a full green pendant carved into Maitreya, and bracelets of the same color, which are estimated to be taken from the same stone and sold as a set.

When he took it to the counter to check out, Su Mu took the bracelet marked "jadeite", and also marked it as a modern handicraft, and asked, "Boss, this is a real jadeite, right?"

"I can invoice you, and if it proves to be fake, come to me. ”

The owner of the antique shop lost interest after just looking at it, it was a business of hundreds of dollars, he was afraid that Su Mu would not believe it, and added: "The jade is not valuable, who will spend effort to make a fake, in the store opened by the Burmese opposite, you can get it for a few dollars cheaper, and the most expensive one is only two or three hundred dollars."

Do you see the pile of stones at his door, all of them are jade rough stones, and no one wants them at the door, so we Chinese and some tourists who come to travel will buy them. ”

The tone is full of indifference, this year's jade is really worthless, the price is a lot worse than jade, the old antique jadeite is slightly more expensive, and the price is not expensive.

Su Mu heard that he could issue an invoice, so he nodded and told the middle-aged boss in front of him: "That's okay, I want these things, please help me wrap them." ”

"OK, this watermelon ......"

Seeing Li Ping'an holding the jade watermelon, the boss smiled and thought that there were really people willing to buy it, and he was put at home by his father when he was a child.

After pressing the calculator, plus the two pieces of old jade that Li Ping'an bought, it cost more than 800 US dollars in total, mainly because the jade was valuable, and he helped pack it and put it in the box.

Su Mu went out with a heavy suitcase and went to the jade shop owned by a Burmese across the street.

The other party's English was too bad, Su Mu picked and chosen, and took several good things.

Since it is a collection, it is necessary to choose the top ornaments of the material, try on a bright red ring, the Burmese boss saw that he did not believe that this is jadeite, so he simply took out a large piece of red wool to show him, and swore that the ring face was taken from this rough stone.

Good guy, Su Mu immediately set his eyes on this strange red jade rough stone.

tried to persuade Li Ping'an to buy it, but this guy didn't listen, he felt that it was a complete waste of money, and Su Mu didn't force it, and spent more than six hundred dollars to buy a bunch of so-called "rags", and put it in a box and take it away with the jade watermelon......

They came to New York on impulse, and on November 24, they left very simply.

When I got on the plane, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I was about to return to the warm California and was comfortable, and I didn't inspect the market at all, Su Mu found more than a dozen high schools from a thick phone book, in addition to the contact numbers of New York University and other schools, and was ready to call the other party directly when he was free, just need to know if they have any intention of purchasing computers.

Su Mu naturally didn't know that not long after he left, an old man hurriedly ran to the antique shop, ready to buy the jade watermelon.

The old man had seen it in an antique shop, and the more he thought about it after he went back, the more he felt that it was like one of the two watermelons that Cixi liked very much, and he didn't see the red in it at the time, so he thought it wasn't, but how many of these natural jade watermelons could there be? Even if it wasn't, the value was very high.

Frustrated that he missed a chance to pick up a leak, he left the store in frustration.

****************************

After Thanksgiving, December came, Menlo Park Middle School was approaching the holidays, and Su Mu asked the teacher for leave again, and he himself was a little embarrassed.

But this time I had to ask, because I had to go to IBM to get the agency.

It's not a second- or third-level agency, but the kind that takes the goods directly from IBM, and if it succeeds, Penguin's profits can be further increased.

Considering that about 700 computers can be sold every day, even if each extra $20 per computer is worth thousands of dollars, now this part of the profit is being earned by the supplier.

In December, Christmas is approaching, and because Black Friday has arrived early, the daily sales of Qugou Supermarket have climbed to more than 60,000 US dollars!

The net profit is about 5,000 US dollars, plus the income from the sale of computers, Su Mu's daily pre-tax income can reach more than 10,000 US dollars, and Penguin Company occupies most of it.

However, no matter how profitable Penguin is, it is essentially just a traditional supplier, mainly relying on sales to maintain the market, and problems may arise at any time, such as this week, four salesmen have left one after another.

Unlike Qugou Supermarket, the investment is large enough and the business model is novel, and in the long run, the estimated market value is much higher than the actual value.

"They are black enough, after learning experience from our company, they plan to do this business by themselves, and others are also beginning to be excited, and what is even more odious is that they actually turned around and poached people from our company!"

This made Li Ping'an angry, and he came to Su Mu early in the morning to complain that since the opening of Penguin Company, it was the first time that he encountered a crisis, and if he didn't handle it well, it would make the company end quickly.

Su Mu had thought of this stubble for a long time, but there was no solution to it, and now the expected bad thing finally happened, and he asked with a headache: "Who did you hear that they are digging people? Do you know what conditions are given?"

Li Ping'an's tone was angry: "Mr. McKay told me that someone tried to poach him, and it was the ones who left our company! I don't know the specific conditions...... The news hasn't spread yet, why don't you go to the company?"

McKay earned tens of thousands of dollars in Penguin's company, and now he has become a small supervisor with more than 20 salesmen under his command, and his own interests are closely related to Su Mu, and he told them that this matter is normal.

"Hmm...... I'll go with you now, and I'll meet with IBM at about half past ten, and I'll go then. Su Mu hurriedly finished his sandwich, took out a piece of paper to wipe his hands, and continued,

"There is nothing difficult for the company to make money, it is nothing more than to contact suppliers, and then go to customers, make money and make profits, the market is so big, it can't affect us."

I have long known that this business will not last long, it is a one-shot deal, it is good when it is good, it is not good to say no, it is still necessary to have our own brand. ”

Seeing that Su Mu was so calm, Li Ping'an was also a little relieved.

He is now helping in the company, Su Mu has the final say in big and small things, and he has no talent in management, and he is recently asking the headhunting company to help find professional managers, and he has not yet been satisfied with the candidate.

He nodded and said, "Well, I'm just here to tell you." ”

"I'll go back to my room and change my clothes, and I'll take care of it from the company.

You go and ask me how much it costs for the San Francisco Chronicle to run ads for three days in a row, which takes up half of the newspaper's pages, and how much does it cost to sell computer ads......"
