Hardy Empire 1945

,

Hardy still has a lot of ideas for TV shows in his mind, but he didn't come up with them once, such as Talent Show and Millionaire.

The ones he produced are enough. Now the TV programs are still in the barbaric era, and there are no decent programs at all. The so-called variety shows of NBC and CBS just invite some song and dance troupes to perform, so people watch it with gusto.

Fox and Edward are responsible for the TV station and program production, but there are still many things that Hardy needs to decide, such as express delivery. The express delivery service is far from developed in later generations. Once TV shopping becomes popular, delivery will be a very big problem.

What’s more, it’s impossible to sell all the fruits and vegetables on TV shopping, even if the value is too low, otherwise the freight will lose money.

How to solve this problem?

Hardy thought for a long time, and gradually got some clues.

For example, Estee Lauder now has special counters in shopping malls in more than 20 major cities across the United States. When customers watch TV shopping and call to place an order, the operator can ask the operator to give the customer a purchase code. As long as the customer arrives at the counter and provides the purchase code, they can shop on TV. Price to get the item.

Because TV shopping belongs to direct sales, the price is generally 10% to 20% cheaper than that of counters.

Will it affect counter sales?

There will definitely be an impact, because as long as you make a phone call, you can get cosmetics that cost 10 yuan, but now you can get them for 8 yuan, and it’s easy to make a phone call. Why don’t customers buy them on TV shopping.

But in fact, the business has not lost, because TV shopping will greatly increase sales. Originally, the counter could only sell 10 boxes of cosmetics a day, but now it may be 100 or 200 boxes.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, unit price profits are reduced, but sales are greatly increased, and the money earned will naturally be more.

However, this method can only be used for products that have sales departments across the country. They are very selective. In the future, they still need to establish their own logistics and transportation system, or open large storage bases in various places.

walmart.

The name came to Hardy's mind.

The super-large company with the largest market value in the world in later generations, holds a large amount of cash and sales channels, owns more than 10,000 shopping malls, and is also the company with the largest number of employees in the world, employing 2.2 million employees at the same time.

Wal-Mart was founded in 1962.

There are too many businesses now, so let’s take a step at a time, and then get involved in these large-scale service industries after the things at hand are straightened out.

 …

Hardy found Andy and told him about his idea of ​​making him a financial stock expert, In the program, you first talk about some financial knowledge, then comment on the current stock market situation, and then take out a few stocks to focus on analysis .”

Analyze the company status of these stocks, whether they have purchase value, future expectations, etc.

Andy thought quickly after hearing this.

With the help of this kind of nationwide platform reviews, it will definitely have a certain impact on those stocks. It is estimated that the stock prices of stocks with good reviews will increase, and those with bad reviews may have a sharp drop in stock prices.

This is equivalent to directly controlling the stock price. Boss, we can operate in advance and make a lot of money.

So this is called a professional, and it’s clear, Hardy said with a smile, That's what I think, well, I will leave this matter to you.

No problem boss. Andy replied with a smile.

There is one more thing, you can choose a group of consumer goods companies that have market value, but sales are not good, I am useful. Hardy said.

What do you want to do?

The TV station is going to set up a TV shopping column to sell products directly on TV, which will have a great publicity effect on the products of those companies. Some companies are not well-known, so the sales are not good. Through TV shopping sales, the products sell well. The stock price will definitely rise sharply, which is more room for appreciation than commenting on the stock market.” Hardy explained.

Andy got it.

For example, Barbie and Playboy were originally on the verge of bankruptcy and their stock prices were low. After transformation, they directly became high-quality companies, and their stock prices doubled.

It's not that hard to make back the money that bought the broadcasters just by digging up a few public companies like Playboy.

I understand, boss, I will give you a list of listed companies as soon as possible. Andy said.

Two days later Andy handed Hardy a list.

Boss, these companies all meet your requirements. Listed companies, people's livelihood products, have relatively good production capacity, but because of publicity and geographical restrictions, they do not operate well. Andy introduced.

Hardy looked at the list.

The Bumblebee motorcycle, a lady's scooter, can produce 10,000 motorcycles a year. Now the sales situation is not good. There are more than 5,000 motorcycles that cannot be sold. Now it is in a state of semi-stop production. The company's stock price is 0.58 US dollars.

Hardy picked up the photo and looked at it. It was a kind of scooter for women, very similar to the small motorcycle driven by Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.

How much does this car cost? Hardy asked.

The cost is about $50, and the price is $118. Andy said.

Hardy rubbed his chin, he thought this motorcycle was a good product, Andy, find the boss to buy stocks and buy back stocks in the stock market at the same time.

Boss, do you think this motorcycle can sell well? Andy asked.

I think it can be sold well. You try to keep the price down as much as possible. After the motorcycle factory is built, we can sell it at a good price. Hardy said with a smile.

The next one is a hair dryer factory that produces hair dryers. Looking at the photos of hair dryers, Hardy can only say that they are really ugly, and they look like Peppa Pig.

Is this a hair dryer or a blower? It's so ugly, no wonder it can't be sold. This hair dryer factory needs to find a designer to design a beautiful shape. If it is more beautiful, the sales will definitely increase. Hardy said.

Then is this hair dryer factory going to be bought? Andy asked.

Hardy looked at the price, and the stock price was hovering at US$0.2. The total price of the factory was only tens of thousands of US dollars, so it didn't matter if you bought it.

Hardy actually decided to buy it, and his name played a role.

Dyson hair dryer.

Then there are factories that make clothes, factories that make women's backpacks, four-piece bedding sets, shoe factories, juicer factories, and even chocolate factories.

These looked okay, and Hardy asked Andy to look at buying shares, and they would be the first batch of recommended products.

 …

Andy brought people to the Little Hornet motorcycle factory, and the owner of the company warmly welcomed them. Looking at the piles of motorcycles squeezed in the warehouse, Andy said: I can buy all these products, but I need a preferential price.

The boss was overjoyed.

Then I'll give you a cost price, what do you think of a car at $55? the boss asked in a low voice.

Andy shook his head, $30 each.

The boss's eyes widened instantly, My production cost is 50 US dollars per car, and I will pay you half of the 30 US dollars. There is no such business in the world.

Andy smiled slightly.

There are too many loss-making businesses in the world. If you don't sell it to me now, you may lose more money. You should also understand that the squeezed product is worthless, and it is only worth selling it.

The boss naturally understands this truth.

Finally, after negotiation, this batch of 5,000 motorcycles was sold to Andy's trading company at a price of $38 each.

After signing the contract, Andy looked at the boss with a smile and said, Mr. Weiss, do you want to sell your shares in the motorcycle factory?

The owner of the motorcycle factory was stunned. He just bought his own motorcycle, so why would he want to buy his own factory shares?

He thought about it,

Sell, how much do you pay?

Based on the stock market price, Andy said.

The two sides fought each other again, and finally Andy bought 40% of the shares of the motorcycle factory. The largest shareholder of a motorcycle factory.

Buying motorcycles first, and then buying shares, Andy squeezed the motorcycle factory over and over again.

other factories,

Andy basically adopts this routine, buying shares at the lowest price as much as possible, and then selling him later to make a lot of money.

 …

Everyone else is busy.

Bill called Hardy that day, Boss, the Mexicans have already taken the bait, and they are going to trade tonight. Do you want to come and visit?

OK.

How could Hardy not take a look at such an interesting thing.

The bodyguard drove Hardy to the lodging of the Los Angeles Gang. The French crook Victor saw the big boss and immediately stepped forward to salute him.

Has the time been set? Hardy asked.

Yes, boss. It's scheduled to be at 12 o'clock tonight. The location is on the outskirts of Los Angeles. I'll lead the team to trade. Victor said.

Nothing will go wrong, will it?

Hey, those Mexicans are convinced of my identity now. Victor said with a smile.

Hardy looked at Bill, Have you notified Lance and them?

It has been notified that they will lie in ambush outside, and when our transaction is over, they will immediately go out to arrest those Mexicans. Bill replied.

Hook, line, and dip net all ready, this Mexican fish is doomed.

 …

Nowadays, there are very few drug sellers in Los Angeles, only one from Mexico. During this period, the price of drugs in Los Angeles has skyrocketed several times.

The Mexicans can’t get so much goods through the purchase channels. Victor came to the door through his relationship, which made the Mexicans feel that there was an opportunity to make a fortune. The first batch of transactions was 50 kilograms, and the Mexicans sold out the goods in a short time. , and sold for a good price.

With the last transaction, the Mexicans have trusted Victor, and ordered a large batch a few days ago. Victor promised to get 250 kilograms.

late at night.

The two cars drove to the suburbs of Los Angeles and stopped. Several Mexicans got down, and the leader was a big leader of the Mexican Gang.

They smoked under the car and waited for their counterparts to come over.

After about twenty minutes, I finally saw the lights coming from a distance.

Two cars drove over from a distance and stopped 20 meters away from them. The headlights of both sides were shining on each other. Victor and his men got out of the car.

The Mexican leader looked at Victor and greeted with a smile, Mr. Macron, I'm finally waiting for you.
