A one-time investment of five million US dollars is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Han Chudong today.

It is not certain that you will succeed for sure.

In this era of booming microprocessors, Han Chudong alone knew of several competitors, and the competition was becoming increasingly fierce.

RCA (American Radio Corporation), Honeywell, Fairchild, National Semiconductor, AMD, Motorola and Zilog, etc., these companies may all kill Intel by chance, mainly depending on which company can get more orders in the future personal computer era.

Now that he has become Intel's second largest shareholder, Han Chudong will definitely support it for his own benefit.

If I have spare money in the future, I will probably continue to invest and try to grab the biggest piece of the pie in the near future.

There is no need to rush now. This investment is just a casual move. We can already see many prototypes of personal computer products in technology magazines. Once we finish the matters with Rainbow Beauty and Baofeng Electric Appliances and support the two major businesses to get on the right track, we may be able to get in and wade into the muddy waters.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there is sufficient funds on hand.

For the time being, life is still tight. The beauty and home appliance retail businesses are currently in the expansion stage, and it is difficult to withdraw funds. The profits from Mango Toys can no longer meet Han Chudong's funding needs.

If possible, he would like to sell the entire Mango Toys project after the four-wheel drive racing car is launched on the market, while profits reach their peak, and cash out the profits of the next few years in advance.

But no one took the initiative to extend an olive branch, and Han Chudong didn't want to stick his neck out to be slaughtered by others.

The circulation of "Super Racing" has exceeded 10,000, and preparations have begun to put racing toys into production. If everything goes well, it should bring in millions of dollars in profit. Toys such as yo-yos and gyroscopes no longer cause a sensation, at least in North America, and sales have tended to stabilize.

Including the income from patent licensing, the average daily pre-tax net profit is about 39,000 US dollars. Affected by pirated and infringing toys, profits have been gradually declining since March.

This type of toy-selling company has limited development prospects, and it is difficult to estimate its value using the average price-to-earnings ratio. Once performance stabilizes, multiply it five or six times, which is roughly the value of a long-term investment. Similar companies that are already listed, such as Fisher-Price and Mattel Toys, generally have lower price-to-earnings ratios.

You can sell it or not, just take it one step at a time...

Kyoko Mochizuki was sent to San Francisco again to help Han Chudong investigate the research and development of new products.

The development of a lotion essence and a toner is nearing completion. Once she has people try them out, she will summarize the evaluations and use them as a reference to determine whether they can be put on the market.

She had done this kind of work last time, and Han Chudong was worried about asking others to help. As a new flagship product besides facial masks, the quality must be outstanding.

In addition to our own research and development, we are also sending people to look for finished products that can be directly acquired through technology acquisition, but there is not much news yet.

His idea was to create a series as soon as possible, including lipstick, eye shadow, foundation, etc., expanding from the skin care market to the cosmetics market, giving customers more choices, and the profit margins of these products were equally amazing.

Anyway, we have rented a store and display cabinets, so it doesn’t matter whether we sell one type of product or ten types. The more product varieties there are, the better.

Compared to those high-tech companies in Silicon Valley, the beauty products business is much easier to do. The effects are all similar, and it mainly depends on the brand image and the gimmick of the product itself. The requirements for quality control are quite strict.

Employees would send samples to Han Chudong for personal testing.

So when you occasionally see him trying on lipstick, eye shadow, etc., there is no need to think of him as a cross-dressing gangster. Kiko Mochizuki can prove that his sexual orientation is very normal.

Finish the work at hand.

In the end, Han Chudong decided to attend the inexplicable party.

After all, he was worth tens of millions of US dollars and was afraid of being ambushed or kidnapped, so while taking driver Wu with him, he also called Zhou Nan and said he wanted to take him out to see the world.

Everyone was busy, and the time they had together was reduced accordingly. After receiving the call, Zhou Nan drove over immediately. He asked questions along the way and learned that the invitation was personally delivered by a white beauty. His eyes almost lit up.

Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun, one in the south and one in the north, are responsible for the business. They split the money they earn equally. They are both hardworking and have few conflicts.

More than an hour later, they were about to reach the pier marked on the map. It was only half a mile away from Santa Monica Beach in the western suburbs of the city. Zhou Nan suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Brother Xiaodong, last time I asked you to help me think of investment opportunities, have you figured it out? Selling toys doesn't make as much money as before. Sometimes I deliver goods door-to-door and go to several stores in a row, but they all say that the goods they bought before have not been sold out. We are waiting for the new toys you mentioned."

"Don't worry. I've talked to boss Yang Guangnian about it. Once we stock up on a batch of goods, we can start mass production in about half a month. We've already found a supplier for racing car parts, and the small motors are being shipped over from Japan.

Regarding your investment... I have also thought about it. Do you want to take it easy or make more money?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Zhou Nan didn't even think twice and said, "It would be best if it's easy and I can earn a lot!"

"Hey, there's no such good thing. In my opinion, it's better to invest in some Wal-Mart stocks, buy about $300,000, and then keep it there, pretending that you didn't have the money, and use the rest of the money to do business."

Han Chudong had no obligation to help them, but since he was able, he helped them. After all, he was not giving them money out of his own pocket, so he was just doing them a favor.

Zhou Nan asked, "Wal-Mart? What does this company do? They also do business. What kind of business do they do?"

"It's a very large grocery store that's developing very fast. My Baofeng Electric Appliances store sells everything. Believe me. As for doing business, I'm inclined to open a drugstore or a chain of convenience stores, 24-hour convenience stores. If you're interested, I can invest some money and we can start a business together."

Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun have some money, but their vision and ability are lacking, otherwise Han Chudong would recommend them to sell insurance, engage in private equity, and look for venture capital projects in Silicon Valley. These businesses can make more money faster.

Anyway, no matter what, he felt that as long as his business went smoothly, these old friends would definitely live a more comfortable life in the future.

Wait a few years, and when the other side of the Pacific Ocean opens up, throw them over there and they can make money no matter what business they do.

As long as you work seriously, even if you are not rich, you can definitely be called a successful person.

Look at the boy with glasses, Xiao Tu, who was thrown out by Han Chudong to make a living. In such a short time, with just a few people and a few cars, he has earned 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars.

"...Brother Dong, it's not that I don't trust you, but we have no experience in this. Dajun and I actually want to develop in Hollywood and find someone to make a movie like "Enter the Dragon". If we make a movie, will you partner with us?"
