One is to apply for yo-yo patents in Japan and other countries. There are middlemen who can act as agents in this regard, but the cost is relatively high and it takes a long time. It will cost about 6,000 US dollars to apply for patents in all major markets.
The application fee is not high, but the agency cost is high. The income is definitely greater than the return, so Han Chudong is willing to pay this money.
The second is the matter of the Baofeng Electric Appliances branch.
It is better to open a branch sooner rather than later. Decoration and display of goods also take time. Yoyo is still making money and earning a lot every day. He thinks he can put the opening of a second store on the agenda.
However, the store is currently in need of staff. We have to wait until we find someone to help before we can look for a store with a suitable location and rent it out.
On the first day of business, Baofeng Electric made about four hundred US dollars.
Don’t think this is a small amount of money. An ordinary person earns this much in a month, which is enough to make his parents, grandparents and others very happy.
The performance on the opening day is not universal, and the same is true for the following period of time. We have to wait until things return to normal before we can see what the actual sales are like. There is no need to be impatient.
Although big promotional tactics such as old-for-new and cost-price sales have not yet been launched, Han Chudong feels that they should be able to squeeze out those scattered electrical appliance stores in the competition, as their business model has become a bit outdated and rigid.
Even if he didn't open this type of electrical appliance mall, others would have. If they didn't transform, those small stores were doomed to have a hard time. Just like the impact of large comprehensive shopping malls such as Walmart on small retailers, the signs of retail giants had gradually emerged in the early 1970s.
Baofeng Electric Appliances closed at 8:30 in the evening. It took some more time to check the inventory and place an order again.
After Watermelon Head and others arrived, they asked him to go to the dance hall to drink. Han Chudong, who no longer had the energy to struggle, refused and just wanted to go home and sleep quickly.
It is not very convenient to transfer money, as the bank has just started using computers for office work.
After putting more than 20,000 US dollars in cash into his bag and taking it home, Han Chudong took a shower and went to sleep. Nothing happened all night until dawn...

The next morning.
Mrs. Bergman, as usual, prepared breakfast and asked her husband and daughter to come downstairs to eat.
Fried eggs, toast and a glass of fresh milk. While eating, Mrs. Bergman asked her daughter tentatively, "Did you have a conflict with that Chinese guy named Mason Han? He said he would come to pick up the manuscript the day before yesterday, but he didn't come. He clearly paid me $300."
Miss Bergman was confused, and shook her head and said, "He and I are just friends. Mason must be very busy recently. He started a business selling home appliances in Chinatown, and also sells toys."
Every time her father thought about that guy taking his daughter to the city to play alone and to the beach to swim, he felt very unhappy.
Perhaps wanting to show off his presence, he also asked, "Is his family rich? How can you make money by selling toys? Besides, there are people doing home appliance business everywhere. You should be more rational. Anyway, I can't see through that bragging little guy."
Well, the last time I came back, Han Chudong said that oil prices would continue to rise, which left a very bad impression on Mr. Bauman.
The main reason is that he feels very uncomfortable when he sees pigs trying to eat his cabbages.
Although Miss Bergman is not young anymore, in her father's heart she is still the little girl who begs him to tell stories. It will take him a while to accept this change.
"He seems to be doing pretty well. I don't know much about Mason's family, but I know his father works for the LAPD and his mother is a teacher."
After Miss Bergman finished speaking, her father curled his lips and said nothing more.
After eating, she stood up, picked up her schoolbag and went to school. She drove to school by herself. She had just bought a red Beetle car, which is currently the best-selling model of Volkswagen.
As soon as she left, a sturdy man came to the door, as if he was waiting to see Helena Bergman leave before appearing.
He was clearly wearing a FedEx uniform, but he quietly showed his FBI ID and asked, "No one has found you guys living here, right?"
The Bergmans looked nervous, but still opened the door and let the other person in.
As for Miss Bergman, she knew nothing about it.
————————
Kamenashi Nigo spent almost all his savings and was so nervous and excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night.
According to Han Chudong's idea, as long as this guy can make some name for himself in Japan, he can send people to keep an eye on the business, so there is no need to worry that Kamenashi Nigo will make money and then say he didn't make any.
He had been waiting downstairs since early morning, and when he saw Zhao Dajun, he called him "Master" respectfully, and was very humble. He then took the initiative to drive Zhao Dajun and said he would take him to do sales.
The sales of plastic yo-yos are better than the original aluminum yo-yos. All the goods we got yesterday were sold out, so Zhao Dajun and his friends got some more today.
The Light Year Plastic Factory produced more than 3,000 toys, which were all sold out by these salesmen. This was the reason why Han Chudong felt confident that he could open another Baofeng Electrical Appliance Mall. Selling toys brought him sufficient cash.
I didn't show any courtesy to Kamenashi Nigo.
Now that he had a car, Da Jun thought he could go to a farther place, so he asked in English: "You know where Long Beach is, right? Let's go there today to show you how to develop a new market. It's different from selling condoms. This is a new target group. Let's go find a school first."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
“I will try my best!”
Kamenashi Nihei yelled something.
He stepped on the accelerator, and the old Ford hummed and trembled as it went on the road. Zhao Dajun immediately doubted whether it could make it to Long Beach in the south...
The door was unlocked shortly afterwards.
Han Chudong was dozing off and hiding a pile of cash he earned from wholesale yo-yos in the cash register cabinet.
Someone will deliver goods later, and the money will be used to pay for the goods. There is no need to deposit it in the bank. He hasn't opened an account for checks yet and has no time to go to the bank.
Watermelon Head didn't rush to sell the car. He first brought his father over and said hello, "I'll leave my father to you. I've asked him to quit his job and now I'm going to the used car dealership to take a look. You two can chat first."
"This brat... Xiaonan has already told me that if there is anything he can do, just let me do it. Chudong, don't treat your uncle as an outsider. I haven't thanked you for helping my good-for-nothing son make money yet."
Zhou Nan, the boy with the watermelon head, has a father named Zhou Hai, who is not a sociable person.
I felt a little weird working for my son's friend all of a sudden, but with a base salary of 500 yuan a month and some extra money for helping people move goods upstairs, it was much more than what I earned before working on the factory assembly line.
The family didn’t have a car before, but now his son can earn money by himself to buy one. Zhou Hai feels relieved when he thinks of this.
“Hey, Watermelon Head can do it himself, I didn’t put in much effort.
Just like what I told him, just help with the delivery, and go to the warehouse to get things when you are too busy, and rest when you are free. Watermelon Head said that your family wants to buy a washing machine and a new refrigerator, just take a look, take them at cost price, I won’t make a penny. ”
As soon as Han Chudong finished speaking, Zhou Hai immediately waved his hand and said, "You should make the money you deserve. Such a big store has a lot of costs. If you buy from others, you will make money for them. You can't charge wholesale prices."
After a while of pleasantries, when the delivery truck arrived, Watermelon Head's father took the initiative to move downstairs.
I haven't received much education and I'm not very smart. I used to rely on labor to support my family. I'm grateful to have a job with a higher salary.
He didn't think at all that he could take the opportunity to be lazy because he was his son's friend. Instead, he was very motivated.
On the contrary, Han Chudong felt a little sorry, so he also helped to unpack and put the goods on display. Some of the goods were sold out yesterday, leaving a small area of the shelf empty...
