It's human nature, the key is to have the right attitude.

In this regard, Zhao Dajun and Zhou Nan did a good job.

They originally had average abilities and were just ordinary people. They were very satisfied with their current lives, full of expectations for outsiders, and very grateful.

But the boy with glasses, Xiaotu, is a little worse.

He used to be the smartest, had the best grades among his childhood friends, and his family conditions were also relatively good.

His parents had instilled in him the idea that he would definitely succeed all day long. Now looking back, his so-called success seemed like a joke when compared to Han Chudong's. This caused the boy with glasses to feel a huge disappointment.

The mistake was that he was not satisfied. In fact, Han Chudong had already given Yanjingzi the agency rights of two states, but both of them were states with small populations and limited potential. He had worked hard for more than half a year and earned some money, more than 100,000 US dollars, which seemed very good, but it depended on who he compared with.

Not to mention compared with Han Chudong, even compared with Zhao Dajun and Zhou Nan, there is a big gap.

Today, the three of them had dinner together. After the boy with glasses tentatively asked about the sales in California since the third quarter, he became unhappy after learning that the two of them had earned nearly two million US dollars from four-wheel drive racing, magic balls, and battle tops. The delicious food on the table became tasteless.

Especially after learning that the two of them had taken over the agency rights in Florida, he didn't plan to play billiards when the party was over, and said in a fit of anger that he was going to go to college.

Parted on bad terms.

In the end, Zhao Dajun and Zhou Nan went to play billiards. During the game, Dajun asked, "What happened to Xiaotu? He seemed very unhappy today. He finally came back. I was planning to have a midnight snack with him tonight."

"What else could it be? He's just unhappy because he sees that we're making money and opening DreamWorks Films with Brother Xiaodong. You shouldn't have told him how much money we made recently. Wouldn't that be like stabbing Xiaotu in the heart?" Zhou Nan didn't hide anything.

After saying that, he felt it was not good to talk about such things behind his back, so he added: "The two states he got are vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many customers. Sometimes the money earned from a single shipment is not enough to cover the gas costs. I have been hiding the fact that I got the agency rights in Florida, but you told me everything after a few drinks."

"...I haven't thought about it in this regard at all. I used to say whatever I wanted to say." Zhao Dajun was naturally slow to deal with such social issues. After Zhou Nan reminded him, he realized that something was wrong.

"It was the past. Glasses-chan's personality is different from ours. He has been distant recently. My dad said he saw Glasses-chan go home in June, but he didn't look for us. I only heard about it later."

"Xigua, you can talk a little better, why don't you go and talk to him? I'll treat you to a meal to make amends for what I said wrong, okay?"

"Two different things."

Zhou Nan, who had changed his watermelon-like hairstyle to a 3:7 split, shook his head and sighed, then continued:

"I feel uncomfortable with him being like this. At the beginning, Brother Xiaodong asked us to be agents together, but it was Yanjing's parents who disagreed, and he didn't have the courage to run out and do it with us. When Yanjing was studying at home, we suffered a lot. By the time he finished the test and joined us, the agency rights had already been divided up, and there were only a few left. You can't blame us or Brother Xiaodong for making less money. Besides, even though he didn't make as much as us, those two states also helped him make some money.

Now it seems like we are ostracizing him. He keeps things to himself and doesn't talk to others. He doesn't hang out with Brother Xiaodong. Can we blame us for this? As friends, we can certainly help him if we can, but it doesn't make sense to take the market away from us and let him earn as much as we do. Brother Xiaodong is so busy. He contacts those big shots all day and has to deal with business matters. How can he take care of everything? "

That's the truth, but when they really said it out loud, both of them felt uncomfortable.

The agency rights in Florida were taken back because the previous owner violated the terms of the contract and privately sold pirated toys shipped from Mexico and Southeast Asia. Later, the agency rights were re-auctioned and the two of them spent more than half a million US dollars to win the auction.

Mango Toys' several toys can make money, which leads to a surge in the value of the general agency rights in a state. No one's money comes from the wind, and it is obviously unrealistic to bring in the glasses boy Xiaotu for no reason.

Zhou Nan was about to ask about it at that time, but later he heard that the boy with glasses saved all the money he earned for his mother, so he didn't mention it again. The reason was that he didn't like the boy's mother and had never liked her since he was a child.

Once when he went to Glasses Boy's home to play with him, Glasses Boy's mother later complained to Zhou's mother, saying that she would disturb her son's studies and asked Zhou's mother to take care of it.

Zhou Nan was right next to them at the time and had always remembered the incident, so when he thought about having to help the boy with glasses persuade his mother to invest the money, Zhou Nan was unwilling to mention it. He really didn't have even the slightest bit of good impression of him.

Zhao Dajun was slow, but not stupid. He sighed deeply and said, "I don't think it's good to stop doing business and study."

Zhou Nan didn't respond. He didn't think that after studying in college for a few years, he would be able to find a job that earns six figures a year. So many students graduate from school every year, but how many of them become successful in the end? Most of them can just make a living.

After a while, Zhou Nan said, "I'll bring it up next time we meet. Glasses missed the opportunity last time. Don't let him miss a few more years because of studying. It's not easy to lead him in the film and toy sales business. Maybe there will be other opportunities to make money in the future..."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

————————

Han Chudong didn't know anything about these childhood friends.

Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care too much. After all, after his memory was lost, there wasn't much friendship left. He thought he had done his best and pointed the way forward.

After returning to Los Angeles from vacation in Japan, I spent a whole day to deal with the backlog of tasks and convened meetings with the management of various companies to understand the company's situation and find ways to solve certain problems.

For example, to enrich the product line of Mango Toys, they are preparing to develop the kind of hand-held skateboards that children play with, which are divided into two-wheeled, three-wheeled, and four-wheeled versions; for example, they are adding three directors within Baofeng Electric and accepting supervision from three investors; for example, to deal with the difficulties faced by Rainbow Beauty, they decided to launch a new facial mask made of crystal gel material, further enrich the product line, and continue to try to acquire Maybelline, Christian Dior and other companies.

After resting for a while, although he was troubled by the fatigue caused by jet lag, Han Chudong was still full of energy. By the way, he also found people from the architectural design firm to inspect the progress of the design. That night, he went to the unfinished building that was still under construction, took the construction elevator to see the roof, and temporarily decided to add a helicopter pad.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will live in Beverly Hills in the future, but my office will be in the city center, which is quite far and I will not be able to do without a helicopter. So in addition to the private plane, I may have to buy another helicopter.

After visiting the future headquarters building, we continued on our way and were invited to visit Paul Getty’s private residence…
