Vol 2 Chapter 340: : The history of the struggle of the little man [9/10]

Shangdu in May.
Wenhuahuayuan, Building B, living room 6C.
Tyler, with a piglet on his right arm, is sitting on a sofa and operating a holographic floating screen. Jay and Charlie are sitting opposite him.
These three are young people from the United States, and it is also the three co-founders of this company called Paopao.
Paopao company should belong to a cross-border dealer. To be clear, this young foreigner is actually helping other foreigners to purchase business in China.
Their business is mainly to help consumers in North America provide purchasing services. Paopao was co-founded by them a year and a half ago. To be exact, it was established three months after the PHC conference.
That's right, Jay's main business is to help North American consumers purchase PHC. That's how they started, and there are still many like Paopao.
These companies have even spawned a huge global distribution industry chain. The reason is that the difference between the price of the PHC national bank version and the overseas version is as high as 5,773 yuan. Moreover, the product response to the market was huge, and it was directly sold worldwide. The expansion of its international business is slow, and it is harder to buy in North America than in Europe.
The Paopao company has ushered in the best days in the past seven or eight months. Profits have exploded because the overseas business of the coastline company has been blocked globally. Whether in North America, Europe or Australia, the official sales channels of the coastline are all angry The layoffs, according to the coastline, have entered a "dormant period."
Therefore, this electric product of PHC quickly became popular in the black market in Europe and the United States. It was even fired at 90,000 yuan in Europe. Before the "dormant period", Paopao's monthly revenue was only 600,000 to 700,000. Already considerable, and after the beginning of the "dormant period", revenue has exploded directly to ten times. In the past 7 months, Paopao has generated 50 million yuan in revenue.
Three ordinary North American young people became millionaires (US dollars) less than two years after starting their business. Taylor built a $ 420,000 villa in his hometown of Wisconsin.
Speaking of them, Jay, Charlie and Taylor might not have met each other if they didn't come to Huaxia Shangdu, let alone become buddies and start a company together.
Of the three, Jay is the oldest and the longest living in Shangdu. So young, he has lived in Shangdu for 7 years, longer than any other city in the world.
Two years ago, Jay met Charlie at a party and quickly became friends.
However, in the first year, although Charlie did a lot of piecemeal work, but did not do it for a long time, will soon be unable to pay the rent, plus visa issues continue to worry, and gradually disheartened intend to return to North America, said After I returned, I wore a yellow vest and tossed with others on a certain street in North America.
Jay helped Charlie pay the rent and told him that the business had more opportunities for development and advised him to stay.
Charlie also quickly found a job as an English teacher with a low income. Teaching Chinese in China this year is not as popular as in previous years, but the Chinese fever is spreading to the world. Teaching Chinese is becoming more and more popular, so Charlie also cherished the job.
Taylor came to Huaxia because of his friend's entrepreneurship. He was born in Texas, USA. After studying for the first semester at a community college, he thought that what he taught at the college was not useful.
So he learned to be a chef by mistake. Yes, he was a chef instead of going to a garage to start a business like the
God ’s Master
, but he has taught himself programming in his spare time.
However, shortly after Taylor came to Shangdu, his friend returned to China because of a failure in the entrepreneurial project. He also had to decide whether to stay or stay.
It was also because the landlord rushed out because he couldn't pay the rent. He first met Charlie in the elevator of the same apartment. During the period, he fiercely complained about a wave of commercial house prices and scolded the landlord vampire.
Charlie learned that his encounter suddenly felt a sense of regret. If Jay hadn't helped pay the rent, he would have been blasted out by the hostess like Taylor.
Charlie readily invited him to live in his house.
It was Jay paying anyway.
Ok.
After understanding each other for the first time, Charlie also advised Taylor to stay in Shangdu and use his programming skills to have better development in Shangdu.
Later, Taylor successively received some web development work, and it was a bit of a bite to eat in Shangdu, and he left it.
Jay helped Charlie, Charlie helped Taylor, and the last three worked on the cause together.
The idea of ​​starting a business together for three people stems from Charlie's "26-year-old crisis". He likes his students, likes to teach, and has a good salary. ?
In 2021, PHC turned out world-wide and became world-renowned for a while. It became the world's most popular smart home appliance. Although the price of PHC is super unpopular, there is no doubt that consumers around the world are in front of it. Put your knees up.
Charlie saw that the founder of the Coastline Company was smaller than him, but he has become one of the most influential technology giants in the world. He couldn't stop thinking about it and was envious.
Ye Hua's demeanor at the PHC conference is unforgettable in his mind. Many times he wondered, if he was on that stage and became the focus of much attention, what would it feel like? Charlie didn't know, but every time he thought about it, he felt bloody.
It is also based on this that he began to understand the coastline company in depth and found out that there is a shortage of international sales channels for the coastline. Another discovery made him even more excited that the overseas version of PHC is $ 840 more expensive than the China National Bank version. what.
So he immediately thought of an idea to make money and shared the idea with two good buddies.
Everyone was very interested in his idea, so they decided to turn the No. 2052 rented by Charlie and Taylor into the Paopao office to do PHC purchasing service.
The initial model was very simple. Generally, the buyer sent the request to them. They then looked for different sellers on Amazon and eBay, and then asked the seller to send the goods to the forwarding company in Delaware. Customer hands.
Paopao is out of control, with a monthly compound growth rate of more than 25%, and very profitable. It has ushered in the peak period in the past 7 months, until Coral Island Technology announced the suspension of PHC. Paopao was out of stock and revenues were reduced.
Now they all know that PHC is about to usher in the 2.0 era. The people who are doing this are all gearing up. Charlie is planning to invest more in the big one. During the 2.0 conference, all three of them went to the scene.
...
"Hi Jay, and Taylor. I suddenly realized that we should make a new overall strategic plan for the future of Paopao?" Charlie looked at the two good guys and said.
"Why? Isn't it okay now? PHC2.0 has been on the market for half a month, and you, I, and Taylor both know that 2.0 is now priced at $ 20,000 on the black market in North America." Jay was puzzled again. Said in amazement: "Oh God, this is really crazy! We will definitely be able to earn a fortune once 2.0 is released."
Europe is even more crazy, or Luxembourg, where the price of 21,000 euros was speculated. This price is indeed crazy, but there is not much economic pressure for middle-class families in Europe and the United States.
The key is that the product is too good. Europeans and Americans themselves like this modern electric product with a sense of science and technology.
Charlie shook his head and said seriously: "Paopao's model is too simple and too dependent on the coastline. If we want to continue Paopao as a long-term business, we must change this situation. Don't forget the coastline The company claims that its global business only enters the "dormant period", which means that the confidence of the coastline to return to the global market is imperative. At present, the confrontation between the two transnational giants and the coastline is even more successful. I think the North American SIA may compromise. Our good days are also turning around. The transformation should be transformed at the best time, and now is the best time, it is time to transform. "
"I don't agree with you, Charlie, it should be the worst time now, guys, look ..." Taylor said, the two of them suddenly glanced at each other, only to see Taylor rotate a floating screen to an angle With the two of them: "The latest news from the official website of Coastline, one good and one bad, the good is that the last batch of PHC1.0 will be destocked one week later ~ EbookFREE.me ~ direct factory price direct sales?"
Jay looked at Charlie's hand and said something inexplicable: "It's really incomprehensible logic. Can I wait for a few days to buy the cheaper 2.0? The high-level brains of the shoreline company are drained? Who will buy 1.0 now?"
Taylor continued: "The bad news is that PHC2.0 is restricted. I have read the specific content. In short, Boss Ye does not want to sell us these 'foreigners.'"
Jay's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately slid the floating screen towards Taylor and said, "What are you talking about? This ... Is it trying to crack down on the small and micro dealers who buy us? But ... it doesn't make sense, why are they? Should be cracked down? It should be the customs in North America or Europe. "
Taylor reluctantly spread his hand: "The ghost knows how the logic of these big companies goes, what does 1.0 say without limits?"
At that moment, Charlie's eyes were frozen, and he suddenly lighted up: "Going to inventory ... Is it ... Is it ... man, I think we can negotiate a bigger deal with the coastline, I think I should go to Yongzhen ... ... "
The two friends stunned, and Taylor couldn't help joking: "I'm sorry brother, I didn't mean it, but to be honest, you want to see Ye Hua talk to him about business? There may be a gap between the two Bill Gates, I even I believe you can have a conversation with Mr. Gates, nor do you believe you can see Ye Hua and have a pleasant chat with him. Let's be realistic, don't be so impractical, ojbk? "
"What-is-ojbk?" Jay solved Taylor, who looked sighed and then shook his head: "Ojbk, don't you know? Well, I started to wonder how you've spent 7 years in business."
