In this way, Gao Hongsheng and Ferdinand booked the oil fields in Romania, and at his strong request, the large oil refinery was not built in the oil-producing area, but was built by Gao Hongsheng on the outskirts of Budapest, the capital of Hungary, on the edge of a small village near the banks of the Danube.

There are convenient waterways that can easily transport crude oil and refined oil, which can save a lot of freight, and at the same time, Gao Hongsheng and their single-cylinder diesel burning ball internal combustion engine are booked in advance to a broad market, inland river small oil tankers.

However, this specific work has nothing to do with Gao Hongsheng, these specific tasks are in charge of Ferdinand, Gao Hongsheng is just giving money, ideas, and technology, otherwise the managers of those factories and companies alone are enough for him to have a headache, and it is different to throw it to Ferdinand, but he is the crown prince, and no one has the courage to make small moves with him, and the personnel are not worried.

It's just that Gao Hongsheng is going to take out money again, which is also where he is worried, Ma De came to this world, and he made a lot of money, but it was always not enough, and he had to take out a large amount of money this time.

Gao Hongsheng roughly calculated it in his heart, and felt that it should be enough, but after thinking about it, let's take a pen and calculate, don't find out that you have no money when you really want to take the money out, it will be a shame.

Turning his head to look into the pen holder on the table, Gao Hongsheng immediately jumped up like a firecracker, looking at the empty pen holder and leaving the air, he turned his head to Ferdinand and said viciously: "Ferdinand, my fountain pens seem to have long legs again, do you know where they went?" I'm going to break their legs, and they're going to slip away. ”

Ferdinand leaned over and looked into the pen holder on the table, then turned his head and asked with a question on his face, "Did you have a pen in the pen holder?" Is it the kind of fountain pen with a silver-white metal barrel? I didn't pay attention! ”

After speaking, he leaned back in the chair, posed as if he had nothing to do with me, and looked at Gao Hongsheng with a smile on his face.

Looking at Ferdinand's appearance, Gao Hongsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Really? Well, well, it's likely that I forgot about jì. But next time I won't put a pen in the pen holder. Ferdinand, don't you need a few pens to give away? It's the kind of pen with a silver-white stainless steel barrel, the same kind of pen I gave you two boxes last time. ”

Ferdinand's eyes lit up, he bowed up, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that there is no more?" I asked you for ten boxes, and you gave me two boxes, you know that I have a lot of men, and they all need a good pen to work, two boxes are too few, if you still have them, you'd better give me more, thank you. ”

"Okay, okay. I'll give you eight more boxes. In the last eight boxes, Ferdinand brought a total of thirty boxes of stainless steel pens, and in a month I will give you a hundred boxes, a thousand boxes will do, but I hope that the pens in my pen holder will not grow legs anymore, and sometimes when I have to remember something, I can't find a pen, which is a very painful thing, and it will disrupt my train of thought. Thank you. Gao Hongsheng gritted his teeth and said these words, it was really Ferdinand who was too hateful, the crown prince of a dignified country always stole his own fountain pen, and when he wanted to record something, he also took out the fountain pen from the crossing artifact, it was simply hateful, how could that thing be pulled out every day, if he was accidentally seen by others, he would be finished.

Ferdinand smiled triumphantly: "You gave me eight boxes earlier, it's over, who called your pens too good, two boxes are enough points, you must know that I have a lot of subordinates, they unanimously asked me to give them a silver-white fountain pen as a prize, even money can't impress them, you better prepare more after a month, I can buy it from you, you tell me that those silver-white pens are more money, I will pay." ”

"Those broken pens are worthless, worthless, didn't you pay attention to the packaging I gave you fountain pens? Twelve in a box, have you ever seen that kind of high-end goods are packaged in a dozen? ”

"So you have something better, can you show me?"

"No, fountain pens are mass consumer goods, and we don't make particularly high-end products."

"That's a shame, do you know what your silver-white pens look like outside?"

"I don't care what it looks like, as long as the pen in my pen holder doesn't run around with long legs. Wait, you're saying that people out there are scrambling for those pens with silver-white barrels? Are you sure? ”

"Of course, the price of one is about 100 pounds at the moment, and there is no market for it."

"What!" Gao Hongsheng hung there with his mouth wide open, a hundred pounds a piece, what's going on?

Gao Hongsheng told Ferdinand for a long time that the thing was a very ordinary fountain pen, not a famous brand, a hardcover fountain pen in the Yiwu market for more than five yuan, or a large road goods with a small box of twelve.

All stainless steel pen barrel, FM counterfeit iridium nib, pen gall ink sac, in modern terms, that is, ordinary can no longer be ordinary, cheap can not be cheaper metal pen pen.

Lower-priced fountain pens, basically the barrel is made of plastic, how do you explain where the plastic comes from?

Stainless steel is much easier to explain, a new type of metal material, corrosion-resistant and discolored, but the cost is very high, metal is not unfamiliar to people in that era, plastic is too far away.

The first time I saw that Ferdinand was very interested in this thing, Gao Hongsheng didn't pick and search, and directly threw him two boxes, but from then on, as long as Ferdinand arrived at Gao Hongsheng, the pen in the pen holder he put on the table always slipped away inexplicably.

Is a broken fountain pen still worth so much money?

It seems that the fountain pen was only invented in the early twentieth century, that is, the old-fashioned transparent skin bag that can suck the ink into it with a few pinching of the hand, and now most of the other fountain pens are dipped fountain pens, and there is also a fountain pen that needs to remove the end of the pen and then use a small dropper to inject the ink into the pen bag little by little.

It seems that the tap fountain pen has not yet been invented, so it is very easy to explain why the ordinary fountain pen brought by Gao Hongsheng is so expensive.

It seems that fountain pens in the past were not cheap at all, but not to the point of a hundred pounds each, it is estimated that his fountain pens are only the two boxes that Ferdinand took away, twenty-four, and the scarcity is expensive to make them so expensive, if they are supplied in large quantities, the price should not be too high, but a few pounds a is no problem.

Gao Hongsheng sat down slowly, touched his chin and calculated how many pens to pour over, and what kind of packaging materials should be used for boutique packaging.

Most of the modern fountain pen boutique packaging is made of plastic, and then lined with colored flannel or paper flocking materials for packaging, but plastic has not yet been invented, so Gao Hongsheng is left with the traditional packaging method, wooden box or cardboard box as packaging materials.

The grade of the wooden box is enough, but the processing is too wasteful of time, the cardboard box is much simpler, and you can find a packaging design store in Yiwu for half a month.

The easiest way is to flock cardboard directly and then bronzing, and finally process into a long strip of packaging box, both grade processing cost is not high, is worried about whether it is too advanced, want not to advance with cardboard to glue flannel, and then use screen printing on the trademark or something, so it is too rustic, and at the same time the processing difficulty is much higher than the cost of cardboard direct flocking and hot stamping gold letters, and the effect is much worse.

Cardboard flocking also has the advantage that people in this era do not have to worry about counterfeiting their products, an electrostatic flocking will kill counterfeiters, and they cannot imitate at all.

"Ferdinand, how about we do a fountain pen business, that is, those silver-white fountain pens I gave you, we can make many colors of pen barrels, silver-white, white, black, gold, and even I can make rainbow colors, but the inside is the same, you said that I provide you with a large number of them, what can be the approximate sales price in the market? My cost is about one to two pounds a piece, not counting the packaging, if it is a high-end individual package plus half a pound. ”

Ferdinand looked at Gao Hongsheng in surprise, reached out and took out a silver-white stainless steel pen with a barrel from his underwear pocket, shook it in front of Gao Hongsheng's eyes, and said, "Are you talking about this fountain pen?" ”

"Hmm!" Gao Hongsheng nodded, and then said: "That's right, there are many kinds of stainless steel pen barrels, and there are many kinds of nibs, from the thinnest to the thickest, but the other parts inside are the same." ”

"They only cost one or two pounds?" Ferdinand shook the pen back and forth, as if the pen was a lollipop and Gao Hongsheng was a greedy child.

"Yes! Is it costly?"

"We're rich, high. We're going to make a fortune, high. We can sell a pen like this for at least ten pounds, even five pounds, and we're rich, God! How can you take out anything that will drive people crazy, those oriental secret medicines, condoms, incandescent lamps, God, what other good things do you have? Gao, I want to monopolize the business of fountain pens, ah! It's wonderful to think about, I'm going to be the biggest pen dealer in the world, high, how many quantities of these pens can you offer, whatever nib you can offer, how much can you offer? ”

"This, this, Ferdinand, the production of fountain pens is very simple, if you can organize some people to pack, I will have as many as you want, this thing is produced quite quickly, it is packaging trouble, you have to stuff it into the packaging box one by one and tie the lid tightly, it is very troublesome."

"A month later, isn't it? You get me 200,000 sets first. ”

"Okay, you just wait to receive the goods in a month, two pounds a set, independent packaging boxes and all kinds of nib products I will send you from the Great Qing Kingdom, no problem."

"Let's get 200,000 sets first, it is estimated that Vienna may not be enough, so you will send me at least 200,000 sets every month, and we will sell them for five pounds a set, and those people should be robbed." Ha ha. ”

Gao Hongsheng didn't expect to make a big deal out of nonsense, 200,000 pens are more than 1 million yuan, but they can be exchanged for 300,000 or 400,000 pounds, even according to the current exchange rate, they will not suffer, let alone in that era.

Saying that this business is big, the main thing is that it is a long-term demand for a large number of things, just think about the huge market demand, reading and writing, how many people in Europe need a tap fountain pen.

Ferdinand ran away from Gao Hongsheng satisfied, he went to the Bank of Vienna to talk about the Romanian oil fields, which is why he was very happy today, otherwise he would be too lazy to run in person, just send someone to ask, and then take Gao Hongsheng to negotiate directly.

Gao Hongsheng also felt good, negotiated a big deal, and gave Austria-Hungary a small trick, hoping to change the course of history and let Austria-Hungary shift its attention to Romania.

He also wanted to rely more on Austria-Hungary, at least the first war could be a few years later, and it was best that Austria-Hungary and Germany could win the war, so that he would have a strong ally in Europe, otherwise he would be under a lot of pressure to face the European steamroller alone.
