The first time he was in business, he didn't have much experience, and Han Chudong was still slowly accumulating.

At present, there are more than 100,000 US dollars lying on the account, in fact, when opening a second Baofeng Electric Branch, the money should have been taken out for advertising first.

At present, the money earned by selling toys is much more than the money earned by selling electricity.

Yo-yo is indeed a very popular toy, and he still has some good toy ideas in mind, but he has not yet come up with them on the market.

Until now, the mango toy side is still not a climate, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and the management is not formal.

At the end of the day, it's too short.

It's only been half a month since I started selling toys, and I didn't care about that aspect for the time being, and I was distracted by Storm Electric, Miss Helena Bergman and other things.

However, it must be admitted that for a business novice, this is quite good.

Recently, Han Chudong will read some books related to business management, and the memory in his mind determines whether he makes money or not, and these management knowledge can determine how far he will go in the future, and it is worth spending some energy to take it seriously.

In terms of the development of the two companies, his thoughts gradually became clear, and he set a two-year plan for himself, trying to make a pot of gold, and then go to Silicon Valley and Wall Street to invest.

It's too far to say that now.

At this moment, Han Chudong was carrying a checkbook and asking a white girl with her hair coiled at the front desk of the Los Angeles Times, "I want to place an ad in the newspaper, who should I go to?"

"Sir, do you have an appointment?" the other party looked up, and the smile on his face was very perfunctory.

It's not that she's dealing with him, but that there are too many people who come to her every day to ask, and she has already worked to the point of numbness, constant phone calls, and constant things, how can she be in so much of a good mood to deal with everyone.

"Nope. ”

"Go to the third floor and find someone from the advertising department, and they will tell you what to do, and the advertising space has been full lately, and it may not be your turn until a month or two later. ”

“......”

Han Chudong's tone was surprised: "So long?"

"Yes sir, we are the largest circulation newspaper on the West Coast. ”

The large circulation means that there are more customers who come to advertise.

Without the Internet, all advertising can only be carried out through billboards, television, radio, magazines and newspapers, and the life of the media industry is very good, as long as there is fame, there will be no shortage of sponsors who are willing to advertise.

Since there are many people who are willing to advertise, it means that most of the prices are not low, and this is not a small local newspaper that can be printed casually even to recruit cleaners.

After thinking about it, Han Chudong finally gave up.

If it can be 100% effective, of course he is willing to spend a sum of money, but if the gang of colleagues does not see it, it means that the invested money has been wasted.

Instead, I started thinking about radio stations, and I thought that if I could run my own ads in time, I could try some of the bigger radio stations.

He was just about to leave.

The lady at the front desk had already picked up the phone and asked, "Sir, what type of ads do you want to place?"

"Toys, the kind of toys that kids and teenagers can probably play with. ”

"Toys...... So have you ever won an award at a toy fair? It's a regular registration, and I'll tell you which advertising department to go to later. ”

"My products have never been exhibited before. ”

A light flashed through Han Chudong's mind, and he suddenly realized that he had done something stupid.

Why find a toy wholesale market, wouldn't it be better to go directly to a large-scale toy fair, maybe toy dealers from all over the world will be there, and you can't find a suitable partner?

Hurriedly asked, "Do you know what toy exhibition is the largest?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know, you should be able to find materials in the library, go upstairs to find the second advertising department, different advertising spaces have corresponding prices. ”

......

Thinking that there is such a thing as an exhibition, Han Chudong is even more reluctant to give money to the newspaper.

There was no computer to search for, so the best way to do this was to go to the library and look through the old issues of the newspaper and find the previous issues on which you could use.

And he had a better way.

Throw away the advertising application form that needs to be filled out, find a phone booth after leaving the building, rummage through a bunch of company information in the yellow pages of the number, and quickly find the contact information of the Disney Company.

After the coin was put in, and when someone connected, a sentence came from the other end: "This is Disney, what's the matter?"

Deliberately using a kind of English that is not fluent, Han Chudong asked: "I am a businessman from Southeast Asia, I want to act as an agent for your toys, sell them in Malaysia, Xiangjiang and other places, I have more than 100 toy stores, may I ask if your company has any plans to participate in a toy fair recently? ”

The Disney Company not only produces animations, but also sells toys with merchandise.

When the other party heard this, he replied, "Please wait a while, I don't know about this, it will take a few minutes." ”

"Okay, please get back to me as soon as possible. ”

"Well, I won't hang up, wait a minute, maybe my colleague knows......"

Standing in the phone booth, Han Chudong threw a coin after a while to avoid the call being disconnected.

Soon it was revealed that there would be an event of the American Toy Association in Chicago next month, and that there would be a global toy fair in New York in January.

All very far away.

But this made Han Chudong know another piece of information, and there is actually an organization like the Toy Association.

I probably had a number in my heart, and replied that I would go to see it when the time came, and after hanging up the phone, I was in a good mood, thinking about making a few more toys, and taking them to the exhibition to find a suitable partner when the time came.

————————

The weather is clear today and the sky is blue.

Han Chudong got into his red Jaguar sports car, and passers-by gave him a thumbs up and praised his car for being cool.

Not far from City Hall, people can be seen protesting the war in Southeast Asia, and more and more people feel that it is very unwise to be stuck in that quagmire, killing and injuring countless Americans.

The newspaper is talking about these things over and over again every day, and unlike when he first woke up, Han Chudong already has a little understanding of the current situation.

However, it must be admitted that despite the internal and external disputes, the dollar is still quite valuable, and the standard of living of the locals is extremely high.

The wages in Chinatown are less, and many people in downtown Los Angeles can earn six or seven thousand dollars a year, and there are more, and this money is already a huge amount of money in other developing countries, so it also attracts many smugglers to dig for money, and most of them can only gather in various slums with chaotic law and order.

Speaking of which, in the minds of urban residents in Los Angeles, Chinatown also represents the slums, there are some middle-class and rich people there, but most of them can only work at the lowest level, and there are not a few who do evil.

It's all here, and you can't go home empty-handed.

In order to celebrate this trip and learn some important news, Han Chudong decided to buy something to celebrate, carrying clothes, shoes and hats, and by the way, he also bought a Vacheron Constantin watch, in case he was robbed, and he happened to have no money, he could use it to buy his life.

It's not groundless, he often says that whoever is killed suddenly, the public security situation is quite bad, and it is better to take precautions and make some preparations.

Wallets, purses, and leather shoes were replaced with new ones, costing more than $2,000 in total, and I also bought some things for my family, my mother's necklace, my father's belt and wallet, and some jade pendants for the old couple at home, full of green pendants, the price is really low, and you can buy several pieces for thirty dollars.

I wondered if I should stock up on more jade, jade, and antiques in the future, and after leaving the mall, I loaded everything into the car and went home.

The road was the same as the last time I had walked with Miss Bergman, but she was no longer there.

Thinking of the few minutes in the motel, Han Chudong couldn't help but sigh a pity, in addition to being mysterious, she was indeed a very good girl.

Maybe it's because I haven't gotten it.,Some time ago, I was so busy that I didn't look for her.,But after disappearing, I often think about it.。

I regret that I didn't take the initiative at the time, maybe everything would be different now......
