"The Florida government wants to make the state a state of tourism and recreation, and Miami is the largest city in Florida. Miami currently has 65,000 residents, and the city has a population of more than 100,000 people, including tourists or investors. Mr. Lee's, you know, a city of 100,000 people is a medium-sized city in the United States. That said, Miami's workforce is adequate. ”

"In 1903, a poor black woman bought the land in Miami for $30, and now, in 1923, the price of the land has risen to $30,000!" ”

Will's finger continued to slide across the map: "In 1921, a lawyer in New York bought a narrow strip of coastal land in Palm Beach, and he paid $240,000 at that time. At this time, the coastal land rose to $800,000! When I went to Miami, I learned that investing in land in Miami is more profitable than investing in stocks! Land prices in Miami and Florida as a whole have skyrocketed in the last six months, and I think they will continue to rise. ”

"So, Will, should we invest in land in Miami?" Li Kangping carefully examines the "Miami Land Sale Map".

"Although the price of land in Miami has risen to a very high level, it is still cheap compared to New York City. Mr. Liu and I both felt that it was cost-effective to buy land in Miami and that it was feasible to build a second mahjong factory in Miami. Will suggested.

Li Kangping asked: "You said that the Florida government's plan is to build the state into a tourism, vacation and leisure state, so does the government support us to open a mahjong factory?" ”

"Yes, that's right, the Florida government wants to make Miami and the surrounding cities along the coastline the Liviera of the United States. Actually, there isn't much manufacturing in Miami, and if our second mahjong factory is built, it will be the largest manufacturing plant in Miami. Mr. Liu and I spoke with the City of Miami, and the City Government encouraged us to buy a 50-acre plot of land to build a mahjong factory. I think the city government is wise, a city can't just have tourism as a sector, and manufacturing is a reasonable complement. ”

Pointing to a rectangle on the map, Will said, "This is the 50 acres that the city of Miami wants to sell us, it's not by the sea, so it's cheaper, and the government is offering $200,000." ”

"$200,000, that's not cheap! Of course, if you're in New York, you can buy 10 or 15 acres of land for $200,000. Li Kangping thought for a while and asked, "Is there room for bargaining?" ”

"That's already the lowest price."

"After our mahjong factory is put into production, can we enjoy Florida's preferential policies?"

"This can go on and on."

"Brother Shaowen, what do you think?"

"You can immediately invest in the mahjong factory in Florida."

"Okay."

Thereupon? Li Kangping convened the shareholders' meeting again.

50 acres of land is equivalent to four Bronx mahjong factories.

We bought this 50-acre land in Miami for $200,000? A mahjong factory of the same size as the Bronx mahjong factory will be built first, and the rest of the land will be empty for the time being. Such? An investment of $280,000 is required. Appropriation? Operate it.

After the meeting, Liu Shaowen brought his team, checks, and construction drawings of the Bronx mahjong factory? He also went to Miami to carry out substantive work.

The Miami project was funded by tearing down the east wall and replacing the west wall.

The $280,000 was allocated to the Miami project, and the Jersey City project had to deduct $280,000.

Li Kangping immediately went to the Poseidon Radio Company in Jersey City to conduct field investigations.

The money for the transformation of the production line of superheterodyne and super-regenerative radios cannot be saved.

Presently? The renovation of the production line is nearing completion.

Next? It is necessary to place orders from parts suppliers and recruit workers.

The money for ordering parts and components cannot be saved, so you can only recruit fewer workers.

Alex, deputy general manager of the Poseidon radio company, is in charge of technology, and he has dozens of technicians under him? The technical department of the Poseidon Radio Company was formed.

Is the technical department responsible for the transformation of the production line? After the start-up, the responsibility of the technical department is to solve the technical problems of mass production and develop new process technologies or product technologies.

With the exception of technology, the rest of the business is overseen by General Manager John Sanders.

Li Kangping said to John Sanders: "John, we are about to start trial production? But, I have to tell you? In the early stage of trial production and mass production, we don't need so many workers. Is there a number of $280,000? This is equivalent to the annual salary of a worker. In other words, you have to hire fewer workers. What if our radios sell well after they hit the market? then immediately replenish so many workers. John? You know what I mean? ”

John Saunders said with a bitter face: "Mr. Lee? I beg you, don't cut Poseidon any more money! Hera she's already very beautiful, you should take more care of Poseidon! ”

"John, you know, sitting in my position, I have to think about the big picture and the overall planning, so please understand me and support me. Actually, I'm more optimistic about Poseidon, and once the headquarters has a little more liberal funding, I will definitely give priority to subsidizing Poseidon. ”

Li Kangping finished his research in Jersey City and returned to New York.

Roy Disney called, and he said on the phone: "Dr. Lee, what I want to tell you is that Walter has started filming a commercial for Hera Mahjong, and the model is Sophie. In addition, Mr. Richard Carter rented an office and a screening room in Manhattan, and Richard was a salesman for Walt Disney Studios, who would be based in New York. ”

"Roy, I'm very happy to see Walt Disney Studios on the right track, and I have full confidence in your efficiency, loyalty, and authenticity."

"Actually, Sophie's job would be over today, you know, a one-minute commercial was done very quickly. Also, we broke the contract with the distributor in New York, and we paid a $1,000 check to take back ownership of the six cartoons. With Alice in Wonderland, we now have 7 cartoons in our hands. ”

"Huh?"

"Dr. Lee, when you were in California, you said not to sell these seven cartoons, but Walter also had this idea, and Walter wanted to have all kinds of rights such as copyrights, trademarks, etc. However, we don't have a distribution system, which means that you can't release an anime without selling it to a distributor. The $80,000 invested by Manhattan Zeus is enough for now, and we don't have much pressure on funds for the time being. It's not about money, it's about feedback, Dr. Lee, can you understand? ”

"Roy, please be specific."

"There's a saying in the movie world: without the reaction of the public, those guys simply don't know what's good."

"Roy, I think I know what you mean. Walt Disney Studios' cartoons needed to be shown to the public, so that Walter could know how his cartoons were judged in society and that he could maintain his style or improve it. ”

"Yes, Dr. Lee, that's right."

"So we have to sell three, five, or seven cartoons?"

"There's also a second option, where we rent a cinema screen and show our cartoons. The advantage of this is that we have all the rights to the cartoon, and the disadvantage is that we can lose money. We pay the movie theater rent, but we don't get the full money from the tickets, so we can pay for our cartoons. ”

"Roy, I'm leaning towards renting a screening room. My suggestion is that after the Hera mahjong commercial is finished, you have people come to New York with the negatives and copies. At the same time, he also brought negatives and copies of seven cartoons. If necessary, you come to New York in person. ”
