Although it seems to be going smoothly, there are actually quite a lot of troubles.

For example, the problem of piracy of Mango toys, especially in several southeastern states. Han Chudong always felt that some agents started to play shady games and turned to selling pirated goods, which led to a significant decrease in purchase volume, but no evidence has been found yet.

For example, the competition that Baofeng Electric is facing is that a competitor with financial strength has begun to emerge. It opened two stores in Los Angeles at once. The entire sales model is exactly the same as that of Baofeng Electric. Some of them even blatantly poached people from Baofeng Electric.

It is only a matter of time before Rainbow Beauty produces infringing facial masks.

The commercial order has not yet been perfected. Faced with such huge profits, there will inevitably be some small infringing merchants who will take risks, and they may have already started preparing for production somewhere.

Problems like this arise endlessly.

Not only Han Chudong will encounter this problem, but other manufacturers will also encounter it, and it is difficult to avoid it completely.

Ultimately, the entry threshold is too low.

For products like IBM's commercial computers, cars, and space shuttles, even if someone wanted to copy them, funding and technology would be big problems, and it would also be easy to trace the source of supply.

Han Chudong's current business is not complicated, but it makes a lot of money, so it is normal for him to be targeted.

The infringing toys that flow into the US market are mainly produced in Mexico and Southeast Asian countries. The last time Zhou Nan seized a batch through port customs, the number did not decrease. Instead, it has increased recently.

We asked lawyers from all over the country to help voluntarily and were willing to give them half of the compensation, but the piracy market still could not be curbed.

What can he do? Han Chudong is also desperate.

We can only turn a blind eye to it and try to grab the bulk of the profits and suppress infringement as much as possible.

Being a businessman, you earn a lot of money, but you also have to worry about a lot of trivial things.

Precisely because of the endless stream of pirated products, it is particularly important to create a high-end brand image. For example, there will be warnings on toy packaging to remind parents that irregular toys may cause harm to their children.

As for Baofeng Electric, it can only rely on service and price, and use its advantages in funds and supply channels to try to squeeze out its competitors...

Sitting on a plane to Philadelphia.

Han Chudong closed his eyes and rested all the way, took a short nap, and was then awakened by the smell of smoke.

Most airplanes these days do not ban smoking, even in first class, and being in a sealed and small cabin is really annoying.

Make it to Philadelphia International Airport.

After getting off the plane, I took a taxi and headed straight to the city. It was already starting to get dark.

The Hilton Hotel sent a Bentley to pick them up, the cost of which was calculated separately. They didn't go anywhere, but first went to the hotel to check in.

As the boss, Han Chudong lived in a luxury suite and arranged driver Wu and employees in ordinary king-size rooms. He did not ask them to find a motel nearby. This treatment was already very good.

The company has its own set of standards, and the expense limits during business trips are listed one by one and reimbursed based on invoices.

Therefore, Han Chudong went upstairs alone. He didn't have the habit of bringing a suitcase, so he could just buy whatever he needed.

The room was spacious and beautiful. I first handed the tip to the hotel waiter and asked him to prepare some pasta and a steak. Then I called Kiko Mochizuki to report that I was safe. The other party had specifically asked me to do so, and I really treated her like a newlywed wife.

Every time I go on a long trip it’s like a fight. The airplane has poor soundproofing and I’m nervous for several hours. After settling down, I open a bottle of beer, take off my coat, stand by the window, and see the night view of Philadelphia.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery, I suddenly thought that I should have one or two more assistants and personal secretaries, preferably top students who can both work and serve as bodyguards.

As your net worth increases, your security and quality of life must also keep up...

——————————

It is too troublesome to contact each family one by one.

Han Chudong just sent someone to contact Macy's headquarters at the beginning of this month and signed a cooperation agreement.

His partners include Baofeng Electric Appliances and Rainbow Beauty. He is responsible for arranging the opening of new stores, while Macy's provides the venue and lower rent.

Considering that Macy's currently has more than 100 stores worldwide, most of which are located in the core areas of cities with large customer flow, it is estimated that it will not have to worry about the location selection of Rainbow Beauty retail display cabinets for a long time.

Due to the high rent, it is definitely not cost-effective to operate Baofeng Electric in such a high-end department store. The publicity significance is more important than the pursuit of profit. It will only choose to settle in some Macy's department stores located in the core areas of the metropolitan areas, thinking that it is a loss-making business to gain publicity and become familiar to the public.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The Rainbow Beauty counter in Macy's department store at Union Square in San Francisco is now officially open for business. There is also a Rainbow Beauty counter in the Macy's flagship store in New York.

The Philadelphia store that is about to open is also located in Macy's department store.

Of course, Han Chudong doesn't want to rely on just one tree, so he also tries to cooperate with companies such as United Department Stores to open his own brand counters there.

Compared with Baofeng Electric Appliances, opening a cosmetics counter is much easier. We have found a furniture factory in Los Angeles that specializes in customizing high-end display cabinets, and the signs and employee uniforms are also unified.

The next morning we went to the restaurant for a buffet.

While sitting with driver Wu and others, I unexpectedly met Ishikawa Hayabusa. This Japanese man works for Panasonic Corporation. He had been negotiating with Han Chudong for a long time some time ago and finally bought the patent for alkaline dry batteries.

He took the initiative to greet Han Chudong. Han Chudong was slightly stunned, with a smile on his face: "It's a small world. I can meet an acquaintance here. I heard that the production line has been moved away and started to produce batteries?"

"What a coincidence! I thought I recognized the wrong person just now. We are preparing the raw materials and will start mass production in early April. The factory is scheduled to be in Ohio." Ishikawa Hayabusa replied, and asked, "Are you in Philadelphia to handle business?"

Han Chudong put down his fork and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Yes, a cosmetics retail store has opened, it's in the nearby Macy's department store. If you have time, come with me to take a look later?

Recently, the retail sales in one day reached 500,000 US dollars, and this is still limited production. Last time I mentioned that you would like to work for me. Are you interested in helping me develop the Japanese market? If so, I would be happy to let you come for training for a period of time. The salary and benefits will definitely be higher than your current salary, and the bonus will also be higher. And as a supervisor, as long as the performance is good enough, I will definitely not care about you. It is easy. "

Ishikawa Hayabusa remembered that Han Chudong had told him some time ago that if the market was developed, the income could reach up to one million US dollars.

I thought there was no further news, but by chance, I met him again in Philadelphia.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was moved and replied, "Thank you for the invitation. I happen to have nothing to do this morning and can go back to New York later. Then I will accompany you to visit?"

"OK, wait a moment, I'll come over after I finish eating, and we'll meet at the hotel entrance in fifteen minutes..."
