Chapter 80: Crazy Stockings

PS: Brothers who read books, please help recommend and collect.

Al called several high-level executives to have a meeting, and Qin Jiamu, who was in charge of American trade, was in charge of this matter, and Al led Qin Jiamu to New York to visit Mr. Rockefeller Jr., and Al hoped that the two trading companies would jointly operate the stockings business, because Guo Yu said that this is also a big business, and someone must support him.

The two sides have good contacts, Al's visit was very successful, the Rockefeller family has a lot of industry, there was a trading company, of course, it is mainly to do oil business, but other trading businesses will not be let go, after seeing the stockings brought by Al, I keenly found that although this is a woman's thing, but according to Guo Yu, half of the world is a woman, as long as every woman buys this product, the market is absolutely vast.

The two discussed the details of the operation, Guo Yu shipped the goods at 50 US dollars, and made a profit at the selling price in the market, and the two sides divided it equally, that is, if it was sold for 100 US dollars, Guo Yu accounted for 75 US dollars, sold for 200 US dollars, Guo Yu accounted for 125 US dollars, and Rockefeller's trading company made 75 US dollars, which is a very large proportion, and they can earn one-third of the cash without any investment, which will definitely be a money-making ratio that makes investors crazy.

With the stockings to the market, there is also Guo Yu's propaganda plan for them, colorful propaganda posters are pasted all over the city, and then let a large number of beautiful female models, wearing stockings, with a windbreaker, short skirt and high heels, go outside to perform, a week later, completely arouse the interest of women, people have to buy stockings in the mall, although the price is very expensive, but it can not stop the desire of women, women have discarded the original cotton, wool, silk stockings in the wardrobe, and replaced them with this elasticity, light, soft and breathable, charming color, Tight-fitting and tight, more reflective of the new female figure of the new stockings, sometimes women burst out of enthusiasm, can overcome a qiē, they began to buy stockings, three hundred dollars a pair of stockings were snapped up, in order to raise the value of stockings, but also used limited sales, this is also Guo Yu's idea, the later generations are very common hunger marketing method.

Other merchants also saw business opportunities, and negotiated with Al and Rockefeller's trading companies, hoping to act as an agent for these stockings, which could be sold to other places, although Europe was at war, but the cannon could not resist the enthusiasm of women.

A large number of trading companies took cash to pick up the goods, three hundred dollars a pair, the same price as the market, as for how much they sold elsewhere, they didn't care, just like that, 500,000 pairs of stockings, also an astronomical fortune.

300 US dollars for a pair of stockings, if all of them are sold, it will be 150 million US dollars, Guo Yu will be able to get 87.5 million US dollars, and the Rockefeller family will not have to do anything, they can get 62.5 million US dollars, which is really unprofitable.

Al also told Guo Yu that now 500,000 pairs of stockings have been sold out of nearly 400,000 pairs, next month's Christmas, the peak shopping period, is a good time to sell, I hope Guo Yu is preparing a batch of stockings in the past, Gao Qing's fleet is now in Kalimantan, ready to leave in four days, should be able to arrive before Christmas.

Guo Yu interrupted his training for a few days, ran back to modern times, did not return to Hong Kong, flew directly to the mainland, purchased a large number of stockings, this time Guo Yu is ready to sweep the goods, now there are a large number of factories in China, the annual output of stockings of any enterprise is more than 10 million, a large number of stockings crowd the market, so the goods on the market are very sufficient, Guo Yu turned a few, and bought 10 million pairs of stockings, this time the goods are more complete than last time, short stockings, medium stockings, stockings, pantyhose, fishing nets, various colors, There are all kinds of fabrics.

After two days of busyness, he didn't go home to take a look, but went back to Kalimantan Island and handed over the stockings to Gao Qing and asked him to take them to Al.

Stockings worth millions of yuan sold to Europe and the United States in 1915 were worth hundreds of millions of dollars, even if you don't count the inflation and currency depreciation of a hundred years, it is a big profit, if you calculate, it is a world of difference.

Guo Yu also checked the information, it is said that when nylon stockings came out in 1940, European women were crazy, and 70,000 were sold on the same day, which was still sold in limited quantities, and finally the price of each pair of stockings on the black market reached 3,000 to 4,000 US dollars, which is staggering.

However, these 10 million pairs of stockings, Guo Yu let them sell slowly, the market will always be saturated, and then the sales speed will slow down, and at the same time tell Sù Al, contact Jill, increase the acquisition of European art, now that the First World War is in full swing, it is a good time for himself to collect a large number of antiques.

Those nobles and big businessmen who fled in the war, when fleeing from their homes, will bring valuable artworks, live in a new place, need a lot of cash, and will inevitably sell antiques in their hands, now the price of antique artworks on the market has dropped by four or five percent year-on-year, cash and food are the most important things for people now, Guo Yu should seize the current opportunity, buy a large number of these antiques, and hoard lots for his future auctions, with Guo Yu's current cash, it is no problem to collect hundreds of thousands of European antiques, It just takes time.

The stockings are arranged, Guo Yu continues to participate in the training of naval ships, what others need is to specialize in the operation of each equipment, meticulous to harsh, and what Guo Yu needs to learn is to master the overall situation of the fleet, understand his own army, in order to better command and use, this is what a commander must do, during the training, everyone is growing rapidly, and now Lin Haichao can already be regarded as a qualified naval commander, of course, at the novice level.

Now in December, it is already a harsh winter in Guo Yu's hometown, and Kalimantan Island is indeed sunny, the average temperature is still between 26 and 7 degrees, winter is the rainy season in the South Seas, during a sea training, almost intercepted by a storm on the road, fortunately, there are experienced sailing veterans such as Ma Lian, only to escape a catastrophe, but also let Guo Yu appreciate the power of the sea.

At the Nakajima Naval Base, all the officers sat in the auditorium, and Guo Yu sat in the center, and this was a study meeting, and the content of the study was how to conduct actual combat training.

"We have been training for a month, and we have initially been able to use these ships normally, and the situation of going to sea for training in the first two days was very good, but an army cannot grow up by training alone, and if we have not seen a wolf with blood, we cannot call it a wolf, and we must grow up in actual combat, and I am ready to conduct actual combat in the next step, so that all officers and men can truly appreciate the actual situation of the war, and they must sharpen themselves in the war. After Guo Yu finished speaking, he looked at everyone present.
