In order to avoid taxes, last year Han Chudong registered a company called "Mason United Group" in Puerto Rico, an American enclave in the Caribbean. The company's shares belonged 100% to Han Chudong, and a third-party accounting firm was entrusted to handle tax payment and capital flow.

Under such an organizational framework, internal flow of funds can be achieved, various resources can be utilized rationally, and the amount of tax can be reduced to an extremely low number.

Relying on Washington's greed for it, Puerto Rico has obtained various benefits, including keeping out people from the IRS, the "strongest law enforcement team" in the United States, and has become one of the most coveted tax havens for American companies in this era.

so.

When people got Han Chudong's personal business card, the first title was CEO of Mason United Group, followed by a long list of president titles of other companies.

To calculate the total worth, using the approximate total amount of assets minus total debts, it should be around 25 million US dollars.

The reason I said "should" is because Han Chudong himself couldn't figure it out, but it was definitely more, less.

Take Baofeng Electric for example. After initially gaining a foothold in Los Angeles, it has formed a relatively sound management system and its expansion speed is accelerating. It is impossible to calculate its value based solely on actual profit figures.

What is certain is that even if someone offers five million US dollars, Han Chudong will not sell it.

Now is not the future, the variety of goods is still relatively scarce, and the benefits after integrating the electrical appliance retail market will be considerable.

The day when the company can use its own profits to expand is not far away. Its net profit has recently stabilized at around US$10,000 per day. It has a total of 14 stores that have opened, making it a hen that can only lay golden eggs.

Mango Toys has patents and reserve patents, and can also make money through patent licensing.

In the first two months of this year, they earned more than 400,000 US dollars from Japan. However, in order to allow Kamenashi Nigo to continue to expand the market, they have not yet withdrawn the funds and are currently negotiating to acquire part of the shares of Nigo Toys Co., Ltd. through financing.

Han Chudong already knew about Kamenashi Nigo's agency for other toy products, and he wasn't going to blame him for anything. He just hoped that it wouldn't affect the sales of his own toys.

The partners are ambitious, which means they won't relax after achieving a little success. Overall, this is a good thing, because they have someone to keep an eye on the finances, so there won't be any big problems.

If the benefits were not great enough, he would also want to be lazy, play golf, calm down and make a cup of good tea, and learn calligraphy from his grandfather. Who wouldn't like that kind of life?

But now is not the time to relax.

I have hundreds of people under me, and the business cards of my partners stacked up would be ten centimeters thick. On average I have to make thirty to forty phone calls and host seven or eight internal meetings every day. It's not easy at all.

These Emma Lawrence cannot see.

She could only see Han Chudong driving a luxury car, wearing a Givenchy suit, with a gold watch showing from his cuffs.

On the way, I couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are only three years older than me, right? How can you make so much money? My mother said that you are worth at least tens of millions. Can you teach me?"

"How did your mother know that I was rich and sense the change in my temperament?"

"…Pah, one of her friends works at Bank of America. I hate that woman. She only advises my parents to deposit money and buy stocks with her."

"Study hard, and when you get into the finance department or business administration department of a prestigious university, I will take you out after graduation. You don't know anything, so do you expect me to serve you tea?" Han Chudong said while reading the newspaper. Facing a girl like Emma who was on the verge of depravity, there was no need to hold back. Provoking her was the most effective method.

"What kind of prestigious school do you mean, the Ivy League? University of California?"

"I have two Harvard graduates working for me. They have no work experience and are doing intern work. A group of Caltech master's students and Yale chemistry PhDs work in my lab. When they see me, they call me boss. What kind of education do you think is enough?"

Hearing Han Chudong's words, Emma decisively gave up the idea and shook her head, "Forget it, I'm sure I won't be able to get into the Ivy League, let alone Caltech. I plan to design jewelry and clothes in the future, and use a bunch of spices to make the best perfume."

"Really? What a coincidence! I was planning to do the same."

"You?" Emma looked doubtful, thinking that he was looking down on her and being useless, so she pouted, rolled her eyes, and sulked to herself.

This chatterbox didn't say anything, and Han Chudong felt comfortable and continued to read the newspaper with his head down.

There was coffee in the thermos, and it was too hot when I went out. I unscrewed the lid and let it cool down for a while, and it was just the right temperature.

They spent tens of thousands of dollars on testing the waters for advertising, and even paid off postmen in the Beverly Hills area to ask them to go door to door and help deliver brochures to mailboxes in luxury homes.

If there is no effect even after doing this, Han Chudong will have a headache. He will have to find other ways to cultivate the habit of using facial masks among potential customers, and the profit rate will be much lower than expected.

I'm very worried about this.

He sacrificed the expansion speed of some businesses and has been fully committed to promoting the facial mask project since this year. If it fails in the early stages, it will not only affect short-term income but also be embarrassing.

He had been making a lot of bold statements in the company recently and kept squeezing out funds, which even made Mr. Wilbur Vanaro, the head of Mango Toys, dissatisfied. He often asked Han Chudong why he didn't expand the toy business, acquire other toy companies, and develop new toys.

…

The worry continued until the car stopped in front of a store with a rainbow logo.

The background color is pink, the font is white, and it is made of plastic, which is more pleasing to the eye.

It was past eight o'clock and some shops were still closed, including the first Rainbow Beauty Store. A group of young girls gathered at the door, chatting in groups of three or four, about ten in total.

The content in the brochure was extremely exaggerated, saying that it had caused a sensation in Europe and that the supply was limited to 800 boxes per day and was only provided to the most distinguished guests.

Han Chudong really plans to acquire an old cosmetics brand to make up for the lack of strength, preferably one that can be associated with words like royalty, aristocracy, etc. He knows very well what girls like to see.

I comforted myself by thinking that it was good enough to have more than ten girls willing to wait. I was also worried that I would be alone and only see some employees on the way.

It takes time for a brand with no reputation to accumulate users. Before getting off the bus, he wore a hat and sunglasses, pointed at the girls, and said to Emma, ​​"When you get off the bus later, make a loud noise to attract attention. It's best if you can cry and have a very excited expression. Do you understand?"

Emma asked him suspiciously, "Why are you so excited that you cry?"

"Just say you've been looking for a mask for a few months and finally saw this really useful mask. If you tell this lie well and successfully arouse their desire to buy it, I'll lend you my puppy for two days."

She has been thinking about little Orika for a long time and often offers to help walk the dog. After hearing this, she said with interest, "Really? You want me to be a fraudulent seller and praise your products crazily, right? I like doing this kind of thing!"

Fearing that Emma would scare away the only customers, Han Chudong said worriedly, "Exaggerate a little, but not too much. Just say that it's very good for the skin, can whiten it, and can tighten pores, but I can't find it in stock and it's hard to buy..."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After some instruction, Emma got off the car first.

Just a short distance away, she started yelling, making strange noises, and jogging along with a crying voice: "This is it! This is the mask! Thank God, there is finally a store in Los Angeles!!!"

Seeing this scene, Han Chudong was silent for a moment and covered his face with his hands speechlessly.

He felt embarrassed, but he had to admit that it really attracted the attention of others.

A cool girl with a ponytail and a handbag in her hand chewed gum and asked Emma, ​​who was still screaming like crazy, "Have you used this brand of facial mask? Is it really as magical as the brochure says?"

"Of course! I used it once in San Francisco, just for testing. Hundreds of women lined up, desperate to buy it, but they couldn't get it! Really, even if they paid a hundred dollars, they couldn't get it!!"

In Emma's opinion, doing this kind of thing is also fun.

It's a pity that he is not an actor. He stared at the sign lovingly and clenched his fist as if he had made up his mind: "I'm going to withdraw money, at least to buy a whole year's supply! Even if my mom asks me to borrow it, I will never give it to her. In fact, my mom will definitely be interested, as she has always wanted to reduce the wrinkles around her eyes! Oh my God, it says that only 500 boxes are available? Fortunately, I came early. Can you please save a seat for me? I need to go to the bank to withdraw money!"

…

Kyoko Mochizuki drove over in advance to decorate the store entrance, using flower baskets and colorful balloons as decoration.

Today she was wearing a white shirt, a black suit, and a pair of black high heels, looking more formal.

If you don't know Emma, ​​you might be wondering why there were hundreds of people queuing up during the test in San Francisco. She was personally in charge of the street questionnaire testing activities, so how could she not know the real situation?

I was so stupid that I retorted, smiling, "Miss, each customer can only buy three boxes at most. The raw materials of the mask are too rare and cannot be mass-produced for the time being. In the past few months, we have only promoted a small amount. We can't provide you with a large supply, so you don't have to make a special trip to withdraw money."

"What?! I can only buy three boxes?! Are you crazy? I have money, why don't you let me buy them all? I want to buy them all! Five hundred boxes!" Emma started to play crazy and stretched out her hand to make the rootless gesture.

After these words were spoken, the girls nearby became unhappy.

They all frowned, those with good tempers secretly complained, while those with bad tempers directly scolded: "We came here first, you, go to the back to queue up, even if you want to buy everything, it won't be your turn."

"You must be kidding me. Why would I sell it to you alone?"

"Yeah, you're so young, you can't be still in high school, learn what skin care products others use, Johnson & Johnson is good enough."

The voice was sarcastic, and no one was willing to give in at this time.

Some girls were not very interested at first, but after watching Emma's exaggerated performance, they gradually began to take it seriously.

Limited quantity, limited sales, and hype are common tactics used by luxury goods.

How could Han Chudong not learn from such a good sales model?

I started to consider whether I should delay opening time so that more customers would line up at the door to attract other people's attention.

Continuing to sit in the car, I could see passers-by stopping to look and then joining the team from time to time.

He immediately perked up, got out of the car, walked over, and called Kiko Mochizuki aside.

Prepare to change sales strategies, slow down the transaction speed, and ensure that there are always people queuing outside the door...
