Chapter 40: The Feminist Kettle
When he went out for a run in the morning, Martin brought money with him.
He noticed that new traffickers had appeared around the community.
It is easy to identify that the previous traffickers were basically white, and now they are all black.
Martin had no intention of dealing with them, so he walked around and made his way to the north side of the community, where he found Scott carrying his bag and walking crab to his grocery store.
"Got a trick?" Martin asked curiously.
Scott stopped moving and said, "I got a new job and it pays well!" Tell you, idiot, me! Scott Carter! Soon you will be able to become rich. ”
Martin didn't know exactly what was going on, but he guessed and didn't bother to say anything more, asking, "Do you have clay for making models in your store?" ”
Scott walked to the store with the crab in his arms: "Yes, you come with me." What are you doing? Clumsy idiots. ”
Martin said vaguely: "Make a little toy to make people happy." ”
…………
An hour later, Carter was at home.
Martin cleaned up the table, unwrapped the clay bag, pulled off a large piece, kneaded it as he thought, and kneaded it.
But there is too much difference between what I think and what I do.
"Sao pink oil sludge, Scott's?" Elena came over after washing the dishes, looked at what Martin had pinched out, a big lump underneath, and a long strip erected on it, and exclaimed, "Idiot, did you pinch the?" ”
Martin stopped: "Is it so bad? ”
Elena shook her head, looked at Martin as if she were mentally retarded, and turned around and shouted, "Lily, there's an idiot here who needs your help." ”
Lily ran out of the room.
Martin said seriously: "She's not suitable. ”
Lily said, "I'm the best at crafting. ”
Elena said to Martin, "You get another pile, and I'll spit breakfast in your face." ”
She went to clean up the house.
Lily rolled up her sleeves and prepared to do it: "What do you want to do?" ”
Martin was helpless, and gestured with his hands for thirty centimeters: "It's about this height, and the appearance is ...... How to say, the wooden fence you made, the full version. ”
The shape of the wooden fence was sawed by Lily herself, and she looked at the lump made by Martin again, and instantly understood: "I see, what you did is indeed a piece of shit." ”
Martin waved his hand, let her go, this is a fierce man who uses the attic as a comic book.
Lily is very hands-on, the oil sludge is rolled into two egg-sized balls in her hand, and then wrapped and connected with oil sludge to make a base the size of an adult's fist, and then takes out the new oil sludge, makes a cylinder that is not too round, and installs it on the base.
He also found a children's carving knife and carved the top of the cylinder into a strange cone the size of an egg.
Elena came over and frowned: "Idiot, what are you guys doing?" ”
Lily was innocent, and was about to speak, when Martin preemptively said, "The kettle I have prepared for the women's union to protest at the rally. ”
He pointed to the top of the cone and said to Lily, "Add a straw here." ”
Lily was amused: "The straw had to be white, one drop at a time. ”
Martin gave a thumbs up: "Genius! ”
Hearing Martin's compliments for the first time, Lily's eyes crooked: "Are you sure this is a kettle?" I don't know much, don't lie to me. ”
Martin said very seriously: "Of course, it's a kettle." ”
He pointed to the column: "Design a line of words on it, my life is my decision!" ”
Because of Martin, Elena has been following the Methodist and women's associations lately, and has also been to the House of the Beast, and she asks, "This look and slogan, the exclusive section for free women's rights?" ”
"I'm trying to make it a favorite of feminist fighters, a kettle for women's rights," Martin said. ”
Elena was surprised: "Why do you still understand business?" ”
Martin knows a fart business, and he has been drifting and drifting, and he has never been in contact with business.
The kettle and slogans are all copied, or copied in the entertainment industry.
After 2015 in his previous life, he forgot the specific year that Ken Dou had used such a water cup.
As for the slogan, it was originally used later by Hollywood feminism.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the kettle cannot be registered for a design patent.
Lily brought a hair dryer over and dried it as quickly as possible.
Martin continued to think about monetization.
Elena crossed her arms over her chest: "Idiot, what do you think?" ”
Martin said simply: "First, I am a real feminist, and I want to be widely recognized, especially a feminist from California. ”
Before he finished speaking, Elena's middle finger was already waiting for him.
Martin kept talking: "Second, sell to feminist fighters and make a fortune." ”
Elena didn't understand this: "Are you sure? ”
Martin just nodded, discussing with Kelly Gray, the feminist kettle was important.
Lily Dry Model: "The straw must be able to be removed so that the customer can use it up and down. ”
Martin was speechless, and said in his heart that if you don't go to the special supplies industry, it's a waste of talent.
He went next door to change into a formal suit, brought a briefcase, filled the feminist kettle, and said to Elena, "What about the dress I bought for you?" Instead, from now on you are my assistant, keep your dirty words under control. ”
Elena changed her clothes and followed Martin out the door.
The two first went to the Marietta Theater Company, and through Jerome, they found a prop master who worked with the theater company, used the clay model as a base, and paid him to make a sample using hot melt resin.
Jerome looked at the oddly shaped kettle: "How do you make this kind of thing?" ”
Of course, Martin didn't say anything commercial, and pointed to Elena: "Commander, she always misses my goodness, and she has to use me as a prototype to make a daily necessities." ”
Elena cursed ten thousand swear words in her heart.
Jerome looked at the kettle, suddenly had a strong inferiority complex, felt tired, and didn't want to speak: "Done? Let's go. ”
Martin drove to Duluth.
After looking at the main products and talking to the companies he had identified last time, Martin found a suitable target, an import and export company called Gulf Trading, which had all kinds of kettles in their products.
The company is not large, established for many years, and has a good reputation.
The boss's name is Rosard, and he speaks English with an accent: "Mr. Davis, in terms of small goods, we can definitely meet your needs, I don't know what kind of goods you like?" ”
Martin said directly: "I want to order a kettle. ”
Rosard asked, "What are the specific requirements?" ”
"The price was as low as possible, the materials were as good as possible, including the shell, and they had to meet the relevant American standards." Martin is worried that the freedom feminist fighters are up and down, what if they are poisoned?
Rossard pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any samples or drawings?" ”
Martin takes out the sample made by the prop master.
The special pink kettle was placed on the table, and the corners of Rossad's mouth twitched slightly: Why do you know how to play, this kind of kettle is embarrassed to take out the door?
Rosard took the glass and looked at it carefully: "This material is not good. ”
"Samples are made casually." Martin was very direct: "The first batch is 10,000 pieces, you quote a price." ”
This is his estimate based on the number of customers of the House of the Beast and members of the Women's Association.
Rosard calculated slightly: "$5." ”
Martin shook his head: "There is a Chinese business company opposite, the price is $1.5." He held out a finger: "This is just the first batch." ”
Rossard calculates the cost: "Our factory has never produced this type of kettle, and the mold opening is extremely expensive. ”
After some tugging, because Martin asked for the goods to arrive within half a month, the unit price was finally finalized at $3.
This includes costs such as customs clearance, transportation, and storage.
Martin called the law firm he went to last time, and a professional lawyer came to help draw up the contract, and he paid a $4,500 deposit.
In the car back, Elena had been suppressing her worries: "Idiot, you can't sell $30,000 worth of goods, you will become poor again, and you will face hellish business lawsuits!" ”
"The last balance payment has two months of account period, so it should be fine." Martin had already considered: "I'm trying my best to arouse the desire of the women's club to buy, even if they don't want it, they can still sell it in the club, and the prodigal goods who go to the club are definitely interested." ”
He turned his head and smiled: "Failed, it's a big deal to go on the ring stage." ”
