Chapter 13 Bad News and Good News
“1,000?” Although Yang Wendong heard the specific number clearly, he still asked subconsciously.
Elina nodded and said: "Yes, Yang Sheng, the mousetrap I bought from you last time, I distributed it to several warehouses near my work place after I went back. After they used it, , I thought it was pretty good, so they entrusted me to buy some more."
"Thank you very much." Yang Wendong smiled and asked again: "Ms. Elena, how effective is the rat trap in a large warehouse. Is it good too?”
In fact, although Yang Wendong has done a lot of tests and the mouse trap can often catch mice, these data are still not enough to support the definition of the product’s effect.
Although there was nothing he could do to improve it, it was important to him to know how effective his product was.
The only batch sale before was to Abiao from the hawker management team, but Yang Wendong didn't want to take the initiative to find such a person, otherwise it would cause trouble for himself.
Elina said: "Actually, the effect is not very powerful, but it is easy to handle after catching the mouse, and it will not hurt people. The most important thing is that it is cheap. The funds allocated by the Hong Kong government itself It’s not much. It’s too expensive to buy a mouse cage. This one is more cost-effective.”
“Haha, I understand.” Yang Wendong smiled and said that it was impossible because he didn’t have enough funds. If you buy expensive mouse cages or mouse traps, many people will not get much benefit from them.
Anyway, the subordinates should be responsible for such small things. The people in charge of each warehouse probably look down upon it. They only focus on the final results. As long as the rats do not cause damage or overrun.
Elena said again: "Yang Sheng, let me tell you some bad news in advance, but it may be good news for you."
"What do you mean?" Yang Wendong was confused.
Elena said: "A small-scale plague broke out in an island colony under the British Empire, and dozens of people died.
There was a serious panic in the local area, although it is now under control
Just a few days ago, the British Empire issued a warning to colonies around the world to carry out large-scale rat eradication operations.”
"Plague? Well, I don't know if I should say this is good news." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
People living in the 21st century have almost forgotten this word, but in human history, it and smallpox are the most terrible plagues, almost none of them.
Even if humans enter industrial society, productivity is not strong enough to allow most people to isolate themselves from rat groups. At the same time, there are no absolutely effective drugs in medicine.
At the educational level, there is no way to promote awareness of health protection. Besides, the economic environment is poor, so publicity is useless. It would be great if poor people can avoid eating rats.
Even in ancient times, various governments deliberately promoted rats as evil things and made people afraid, just to avoid such things.
Elena continued: "The Hong Kong government has also passed this proposal internally. In the future, the Hong Kong government will spend a lot of resources to eliminate rats. This may be your opportunity."
"Well , Thank you Ms. Elena," Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Even if the Hong Kong government intends to promote rat eradication, I am an inconspicuous little person now. It is impossible to know about such a thing. Even if I find out later, it will be useless. I am not qualified to participate directly.
However, if the market demand suddenly increases, then you can also get some small benefits.
Elina added: "You're welcome, your mousetrap is indeed a more suitable tool. Our cooperation will be good for me, the Hong Kong government, and you."
Yang Wendong nodded, and then said: "You think too highly of me. Although rodent control is very important, it is not a big financial expenditure. Besides, even if I can participate in such a thing, I can't do much." ." Elena said: "I will help you a little, but you are right, my help is limited. In the end, what kind of results you can achieve depends on you.
However, after our last communication, I feel that your knowledge is higher than that of some people who graduated from prestigious universities, so I still think that you will definitely succeed. ”
"Thank you." Yang Wendong smiled.
For those who know the future real estate trend, it is not difficult to succeed. The most difficult thing is the first step, how to get the first pot of gold.
Now relying on this small business, he can only say that he can survive in this society, but he is still a little far away from the first pot of gold that can truly meet his needs.
Elina said: "Then, when can you give me 1,000 mousetraps? It's best to do it as fast as possible. The more people use it, as long as the stuff is good, then the demand will be higher. It will be bigger.”
“Five days.” Yang Wendong calculated that the total of them can do more than 200 a day, which is basically the limit.
It is possible to find other people to help, but the speed may not necessarily improve significantly, because the biggest difficulty lies in the final inspection. In the past few days, we still need to rely on a few of their skilled workers.
However, if I can really get some orders from the government from Elena in the future, then I will also need to consider expanding my staff.
Elena nodded, then took out a piece of paper from her handbag and said, "This is the address of my work place. After you finish it, you need to send it there. From now on, you all need to deliver it to the designated place."< br>
"Okay, no problem." Yang Wendong took the address and took a look. It was not in Hong Kong Island, but in Tsim Sha Tsui.
This is good for them, otherwise it would be very troublesome to carry so many things on the Star Ferry.
Elena asked: "Are you ready for the bank account last time?"
"Ready." Yang Wendong nodded.
Elena added: "Yang Sheng, the payment rules of our department are that if you have a formal company, then we can sign a contract;
But if it is just a personal transaction, you have to receive the goods before you can Give money, so I can't give a deposit."
"Understood, let's do the transaction on the spot." Yang Wendong has no choice. It's too much for him to register the company now.
Besides, when dealing with the government and the money is not much, it is better to settle the money on site.
Because there is too much money, there is a high probability that the government may default on the payment.
This is not a problem of the government, but many companies are like this. This is also the biggest risk in doing business. If the payment cannot be collected, many businessmen have been fooled to death by this.
"Okay, when you arrive, just tell the doorman to find me." After Elena finished speaking, she said goodbye and left.
Yang Wendong immediately prepared to close the stall and said to Su Yiyi beside him: "Let's go back."
