In her opinion, getting benefits for doing things is the norm, and she subconsciously thought that Mr. Han, who had recently become rich, was afraid of getting into trouble and was unwilling to help, or that he was too cruel and thought the money was too little.
Excluded from mainstream society, with more people than rations, this place has to rely on snatching for everything. It is one of the darkest places in Los Angeles.
It was not surprising for her to think this way after being influenced by her for a long time. How could she have guessed that Han Chudong would really find the money too hot to handle and would be unwilling to accept it in order to make herself feel comfortable.
There was no way at the beginning.
In order to make his first pot of gold as quickly as possible, he came up with a tricky way to make money by selling lottery tickets.
But it can be said that both parties are willing to do so. The prizes have been given out and most of the profits have been donated by him as a temporary loan, so he can't say that he felt guilty.
It’s different now. If he really spends $100,000 to buy three stores and lets his father step in to settle the problem, Han Chudong will become the kind of person he hated the most in the past. There is no need to bow down for such a small amount of money.
As he said, it's not like he has no ability to make money.
Therefore, when Han Yiqiang arrived, he took the initiative to offer to help and mediate the situation so as not to push the woman into a desperate situation.
After learning the whole story, Han's father also felt that he could not earn such money. He did not dare to make a promise, but only said that he would help ask.
…
The new office, located next to the Los Angeles Times Building, is almost completed.
The place has been cleaned and the tables and chairs have been installed and placed neatly.
Han Chudong rejected the temptation of two or three hundred thousand US dollars just to feel at ease. Although he felt regretful, he did not regret it.
Baofeng Electric has taken away the profits of many small retailers. This is legitimate business competition. Even if it did not do it, others would have entered the market sooner or later. Moreover, it has provided many new jobs, giving them the opportunity to support their families. It can only be said that those vendors cannot keep up with the transformation and development of the retail industry.
It's normal as long as he didn't steal or rob.
However, as a human being, there are certain bottom lines that cannot be crossed.
After the conversation, Han Chudong returned to the company and clapped his hands to attract the employees' attention. He said, "Stop what you are doing. I have something to announce."
When people looked over, he continued, "Leave work early today and take your things with you. If you have a car, help carry them. If you don't have a car, take a taxi and find a way to take your things to the new office."
"Moving? Didn't you say you'd wait until next year?"
"Great! I can drive ten minutes less to work there!"
"Congratulations, now it's my turn to be unlucky and have to buy a car to drive to and from get off work..."
When the employees heard the news for the first time, they talked a lot. They had already known in advance that the boss had rented a new office building, and most of them were happy.
Han Chudong rarely holds meetings, and the scale is not large. If there is anything, just notify them like now. He clapped his hands again to make people quiet, and smiled: "Remember to pack up the things for those who are on business trips. Mango Toys may have an early holiday at the end of the year. I remember that there are still a few batches of goods that have not been shipped. You can rest early after you are done.
I will take part of this year's profit as a year-end bonus. Interns will also receive a bonus, which is slightly less than the regular employees who have signed contracts. Keep working hard next year. Joe, don't look at me like that. You can get it, too."
Now no one complained, and all kinds of praises for the boss were heard.
Although some employees still have some minor issues in their minds, such as Han Chudong's age and the differences in thinking habits between Chinese and white employees, it is difficult to get along with each other. After all, the most "senior" employee has only been working for more than two months, and the time they have spent together is too short.
But it has to be admitted that the relatively relaxed working atmosphere and the boss's habit of never withholding bonuses make the employees who work for Han Chudong feel comfortable.
No one wants to stay in a company that is stagnant or even has declining performance. Opening up markets in these two new companies can make them feel a sense of accomplishment.
Mr. Joe Austin, the director of Baofeng Electric Appliances, raised his hands in surrender and replied with a smile: "I'm not complaining. Before our department could open a branch with its own profits, the toy department could have closed earlier. Now we have to keep borrowing money. It's just that the performance is not good enough."
It's a joke.
The funds for these two companies were transferred from one hand to the other, including the funds for the creation of Mason Battery and the acquisition of the Rainbow Mask brand, which were temporarily withdrawn from Mango Toy Company.
Baofeng Electric's profits are not enough to maintain its expansion speed, and it borrowed the most money from Mango Toys, so Mr. Austin said this.
"Keep going next year. When your income exceeds that of Mango Toys, I will definitely give you a cash reward."
"Mason, you said it yourself, we will remember it! Come on, everyone, for the US dollars!"
After hearing some good news all at once and as the holiday was approaching, the employees present were in a very good mood.
Han Chudong was happy to see this scene. He smiled and waved to Mochizuki Kyoko, asking her to help go to Mr. Clifton Nett and bring back more detailed information about the cosmetics research laboratory.
We asked someone to investigate in Washington State, where there was a factory that was using the laboratory's formula to produce products under its own brand.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He wanted to know how sales were going, and also wanted to know if he could get a factory in the suburbs of Seattle to help with OEM production if he got the patent.
Mason Battery is now just waiting for the equipment production line to be completed. The procurement of various parts and components should not be too troublesome. In the short term, what Han Chudong is most concerned about is the beauty and skin care business he envisioned.
The acquisition negotiations were briefly deadlocked, so there was no rush to make concessions. Instead, Rainbow Company was registered first, and some memorable product names were also registered.

Two weeks passed like this.
December 24th, Christmas Eve.
Little Alaskan sled dog Orica has completely resisted the disease, can run and jump, and his appetite has also increased dramatically.
They generously gave their employees half a month's salary as a bonus, hoping that they would work harder in the coming year. Even the Baofeng Electric Appliances retail store, which had never taken a break, announced on that day that it would be closed for a week until the first of next year.
Suddenly, there was no business to worry about, and I began to relax.
I am not planning to travel anywhere, I will just take my vacation as it pleases. Maybe one day when I feel like it, I will go to the surrounding cities to take a look.
It’s about eight in the morning, and I’ve just finished breakfast.
Holding the leash in his hand, Han Chudong took the puppy, who had been cooped up at home for many days, out for a walk. The church was holding an event today, and the grass in front of the door was filled with all kinds of cars. He could also hear solemn hymns coming from the church.
Deeply influenced by materialism, he never went into the building even though it was right outside his home.
If he had to find a life creed, Han Chudong would probably choose US dollars.
But money isn't everything.
Nearly twenty days had passed since he received Bergman's letter, and no other letters had arrived. This seemed to indicate something, and he felt that he could make a new beginning.
I was thinking whether I should call Mochizuki Kiko and ask her if she had no other plans tonight. Watching a movie, going to a bar, or attending a parade would all be good activities...
