"It's too much, such a big bag, I didn't know how much it cost just now.
Take half of it, and you can take the remaining 60,000 back home. It's not easy running around, and it's not as easy as earning money as I do. Keep it for yourself to buy some things for your family. If you really have nowhere to spend it, move to a new house."
Han Chudong gradually became the backbone of this small team.
I heard that he brought over 120,000 US dollars. If an outsider gave this number, it would not be much, but after all, he is a friend, so he should be given a discount.
In his opinion, the thoughtfulness of the two of them giving him the agency fee was more important.
The agency fee in California was not disclosed before, so you can only decide for yourself. Zhao Dajun felt that the number was normal, and that he and Zhou Nan had taken advantage of it a little. He immediately said, "You just said you accepted it. Can you still be a little more trustworthy? I always find it annoying when elders give out New Year's money and refuse to pay. Don't bother with me about this. Do you think you won't make money by selling cosmetics?"
Among the few people, Zhao Dajun actually has the worst temper.
"Of course I want to make money, otherwise why would I want to invest."
"That's all, take the money. I also brought some fruit milk powder. Are your uncles at home?"
Seeing Zhao Dajun say this, Han Chudong stopped talking and said, "He just left less than half an hour ago. He went to Palm Springs for vacation and will be back in a few days. By the way, does anyone know my mother's sister, my aunt? What's she like?"
"She's pretty, almost like your mother, but don't you hate her very much?" As expected of a childhood friend, Zhou Nan knew the answer.
Han Chudong continued to ask: "She had a brain injury and can't remember many things. Is she a bad person?"
"I haven't seen it many times. You never mentioned it before. You just mentioned it casually."
"Oh, never mind."
There is a genetic connection, but there is no ideological connection at all. Han Chudong was just curious about what his aunt had done to force his mother to find an excuse to escape. His friends didn't know, so they didn't ask any more questions.
After moving into the new house, we bought a lot of things. Oil paintings by an unknown painter were hung on the wall, and a grid-shaped wine cabinet was placed in the living room, with several bottles of white wine visible.
He felt that this kind of house was not a mansion, but in the eyes of his friends it was already very good and a big house that was out of reach.
They chatted about this and that, from recent business to the boy with glasses' exam.
When Zhao Dajun heard that the exams were over, he said on his own initiative, "The enrollment will be in May and June next year. You have nothing to do during this period. Why don't you join us in sales? Learn first, and then we will give you the market. Don't always say that your parents are stubborn. This is for your own good. I also want to have a father."
His father died early, and it was not easy for his mother to raise him alone.
Han Chudong was more active. He glanced at Zhou Nan's face casually. Seeing that he had no expression, he did not say anything to stop him. He took the initiative to say, "Okay, you can learn from them first. Just treat it as a part-time job. The main thing is to gain experience. When my other two companies start production next year, if you can do well by then, I will find another business for you to do, or to do sales."
The boy with glasses has mentioned more than once that he can't continue studying, and his desire to make money is written all over his face.
There is a difference between dividing a cake between two people and dividing a cake between three people. Most of the market in California was taken by Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun. They have done all the hard work, so what's the point of having one more person take a ride?
Brothers should settle accounts clearly. If there is a fallout, everyone will be uncomfortable.
So Han Chudong gave a precautionary measure first, to prevent Zhao Dajun, a fool like him, from directly recruiting the guy with glasses into his gang.
We have just started to expand the market. As long as the boy with glasses, Xiaotu, is hardworking and smart enough, it doesn't matter who he is given the business to. We thought that we could let him sell dry batteries and get commissions based on his performance.
After sitting at home for a while, we went out together to go to the skating rink.
The skating rink is located in a shopping mall. Today is the last business day of the year. By the evening, most stores will be closed.
Some bosses also want to make money during the holidays, but their employees don't agree.
Even if they are offered double or triple wages, most white employees still want to rest during the holidays. When pushed to the limit, they will bring up the union to back themselves up, and if they are fired, they will like to sue.
Therefore, Han Chudong likes to hire Asian employees. The company needs to have a certain number of white and black employees because the customers are also racially diverse, but he does not intend to let them gain the upper hand. If they unite and stab him in the back, it will be a big trouble.
During the Christmas holiday, he could use high salaries to lure some employees to work overtime and continue running Baofeng Electric, but after consideration, he thought it would be better to let them take a few days off.
Whenever it is a statutory holiday or weekend, you will find that the shop owners who insist on opening are almost all Asian. It has to be said that they are really willing to work hard in order to make money.
Don't expect others to learn this work spirit, as it will instead cause jealousy and rejection. After all, Han Chudong had lived in Los Angeles for so many years, and he had heard about what happened in Los Angeles in 1992.
As a latecomer, he knows what to do to be most beneficial.
When doing business in the United States, especially retail business, you must pay attention to the differences between different races. Even if you don't like either side, you must not offend them.
Just entered the mall.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Han Chudong unexpectedly saw several familiar-looking machines in a store, and a group of children on holiday were gathered around them.
Decisively changed direction and walked towards the store. Zhou Nan asked in confusion, "Brother Dong, where are you going? You've gone to the wrong place. The skating rink is upstairs!"
"You guys play first, I have something to do!"
Han Chudong didn't even turn his head and came to the group of children to join in the fun. After seeing the screen clearly, his eyes lit up and he found that it was indeed an arcade device.
This was the first time I saw an arcade machine after waking up from the car accident. I thought it had not been invented yet, but I didn’t expect it to be available in Los Angeles.
It has little to do with making money, but in these “old” times, when I saw the street arcade machines that I loved as a child, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Actually.
As early as September 1971, the first commercial arcade machine was officially launched.
Although there was only one machine, loaded with "Galaxy Game (the first generation of Galaxia)", the coin-operated game machine was born from this arcade machine.
Last year, the arcade game "Ping Pong" launched by Atari was widely acclaimed and sold nearly 10,000 units, which instantly ignited the arcade industry and inspired countless developers to follow suit.
This year, Japanese manufacturer Taito developed the first-ever arcade racing machine, Astro Race. This is also the first four-axis controlled arcade game in history. The entire industry is booming.
Because the news transmission channels were lagging behind and the major newspapers were too lazy to report on them, Han Chudong had never heard of their existence.
Staring at the screen, this street game console is a product of Atari. The game that will be called "retarded game" in the future is now extremely cool in the eyes of children. They hold coins in their hands and line up to play.
