Chapter 490: Beverly Hills
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, I will go to Texas as soon as possible to see the local market, if it is suitable for the development of our Shengtang, then Mr. Lund will become our Shengtang's first partner in the United States!"
Lin Guodong said immediately.
"Okay, as for the issue of profit sharing, Brother Guodong, you and Brother Zequan will look at it, in short, our two companies must achieve a win-win situation!"
"Mr. Liu, don't worry!"
Lin Zequan replied on the side, the main client of the Lin family's law firm is Shengtang Company, and they will get a commission for every contract of Shengtang Company in the United States, and of course he will serve Shengtang well.
In fact, the price of Metamorphosis Gang's toy model belongs to the middle level in the American market, a plastic toy with a height of 30 centimeters is only sold for 32 dollars, much cheaper than Disney toys, not Saint Tang to fight a price war, but the production of Transformers is all in Chinese mainland, the cost is already low, the wages of mainland workers alone are many times lower than that of American workers, so even if it is 32 dollars, the profit after removing various costs has reached more than 20 dollars, and the profit of 200% is simply unimaginable for Americans.
As Liu Lang said in his wave of tertiary industry, China's advantage lies in its vast market and cheap labor, especially cheap labor, which has a decisive impact on the price of world goods, which can be seen from the Transformers.
While a few people were talking, the other tourists left their contact information, they also had a strong interest in Transformers, and many people also bought a lot of comics and toy models on the spot, which is a bit like a membership system, as long as you pay a fee of dozens of dollars a year, you will enjoy very good services, such as regularly receiving colorful brochures and the latest issue of the story synopsis of the company, if customers live in Los Angeles, they can also participate in a monthly book club, etc.
It can be said that under Lin Guodong's management, the image of Transformers has attracted the attention of many people in Los Angeles, and sometimes even Hollywood stars will patronize here, and it is very good to be able to do so in more than a year.
The crowd found a KFC for some fast food at noon, and then got in the car and went straight to Beverly Hills.
"Liu Lang, do you know what this Beverly Hills place is?"
Huo Tianting asked.
"You know, isn't it where the rich in the United States live, similar to the mid-levels of Hong Kong Island!"
Liu Lang replied casually.
Huo Tianting also wanted to "embarras" Liu Lang, but it turned out to be boring.
"Brother Huo, what we know is known to Mr. Liu, what we don't know, Mr. Liu also knows, so don't think about asking Mr. Liu!"
Lin Zequan said with a smile.
Of course, everyone went to Beverly Hills not to see those mansions, but the Lin family's law office was in Beverly Hills, only a few hundred meters away from the rich and wealthy villa.
"Brother Fire, tell me a little bit about the history of Beverly Hills!"
Liu Lang smiled and said, I have to give Huo Tianting a face.
"No problem, no problem!"
As soon as Huo Tianting heard it, he came to his senses.
In fact, although Liu Lang knows that Beverly Hills is a luxury residential area in the United States, he doesn't know the ins and outs of this, in his previous life, this kind of place was too far away from ordinary people, a villa can easily cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and ordinary people can't afford it even if they live dozens of lives.
Liu Lang was not interested, but Huo Tianting was very interested, and when he heard that Liu Lang wanted to hear about the past and present life of Beverly Hills, he immediately talked about it.
Of course, Beverly Hills' fame is known to the world only because of Hollywood, an international entertainment city, and it has no characteristics in itself.
It was first opened more than 80 years ago when a real estate developer bought land here and discovered that it was rich in oil, but instead of exploiting the land roughly, he accidentally discovered that there was a large amount of aquifer in the area, so he set up a water company.
This water utility in Beverly Hills has boosted the growth of Los Angeles. In 1900, Los Angeles had a population of only 100,000, and ten years later, there were 10 film companies here, and by 1921, 80% of the world's film industry was concentrated here.
In addition, although Beverly Hills belongs to the city of Los Angeles by region, the city is a separate area with functional departments such as city hall, police department and fire department, of course, the real Beverly Hills is only a part of Beverly City, it is a small mountain, the peak is densely wooded and beautiful, standing halfway up the mountain you can see the scenery of the Pacific coast, and the villas of the rich are built in the woods.
Beverly is just a 40-minute drive from Hollywood, and you'll be able to reach the world-famous luxury residential area in a fiery conversation.
"Liu Lang, this is Wilcher Avenue, the main street in Beverly Hills, where banks and commercial buildings are located, there are countless top department stores on this street, and the nearby Beverly Mall is also a favorite of many celebrities, and there are nearly 200 specialty stores in the center, where you can see famous movie stars every day!"
Huo Tianting was very interested in Beverly and took the initiative to act as a guide.
Just as he was talking, a man with sunglasses was surrounded by more than a dozen tourists not far away, and the tourists shouted the person's name and asked for autographs, but Liu Lang didn't know this name, American movie stars in the 80s were similar to passers-by to him.
Liu Lang and a few people walked along the wide road, and after a while, they entered another street.
"Liu Lang, this is Rodell Street, it is the famous shop street of Beverly Hills, the shops of various top brands on both sides of the street are lined up, not only the momentum is higher than other shopping areas, but the interior and exterior design of each building are extremely careful, reflecting the perfect combination of art and commerce. ”
Huo Tianting introduced.
"Well, it's still nice here!"
Liu Lang looked at these shops and nodded,
Americans still pay more attention to the artistic atmosphere, of course, this is also because they have money, they can pay more attention to the fit between architecture and goods, for example, the architectural style of the perfume shop is the strong and splendid atmosphere, and the cake shop reflects a "sweet" atmosphere.
