Chapter 12
Will you come to see me?
Su Yu didn't ask a single question about recruiting actors.
After all, this thing doesn't require much technical skill; any ordinary person with a normal brain can do it well.
Su Yu wasn't worried that Li Yang would cause any trouble, mainly because he didn't have the guts.
At most, they'll brag about how rich they are in front of others, get something for free and boast about it, but then they'll be stingy and won't spend a single penny.
That's just his personality.
The next day, when Su Yu was about to contact the universal charger manufacturer, he found that there was suddenly 3000 yuan in his account. He quickly realized that it was Lao Su who had called.
The elderly couple only earned a little over two thousand yuan a month, and they had just installed a landline and were short of money, yet they transferred three thousand yuan to them all at once...
Without hesitation, Su Yu had the bank transfer 10,000 yuan directly.
Less than half an hour later, Lao Su called.
Su Yu made up an excuse, saying that he had made a little money and told the two of them to take the money first.
Although Mr. Su and Ms. Wang didn't believe it, they were still very excited.
That's ten thousand yuan!
In 2000, a household with 10,000 yuan was still quite valuable!
Old Su was overjoyed and said he wanted to go out to eat.
Ms. Wang was worried that something might have happened to Su Yu. It wasn't until Su Yu explained several times that she felt relieved and prepared to save all the money.
It will be used for Su Yu to get a wife later.
Although Lao Su was reluctant, he still supported Ms. Wang Wei's actions.
Su Yu didn't say anything after hearing their arrangements, because in the minds of the older generation, children's money should be left for them.
Whether it's getting married, having children, or buying a house or a car in the future, it will come in handy.
There are far too few people who eat children and leave no offspring...
Even in a cesspool like the entertainment industry, only one family of beasts like Anita Mui has emerged.
Even she probably never imagined that her underwear would be auctioned off after her death.
If given the chance to meet her, Su Yu would be quite willing to lend her a hand.
After hanging up the phone, I received a message from the OEM factory.
The process of making universal chargers is not complicated, in fact, it is very simple and can be completed without a large factory. However, most factories have quantity requirements.
The minimum order is three thousand; we won't accept any orders below that number.
Su Yu planned to get 10,000 of them first.
In order to secure this large order, the owners of these contract manufacturers have driven down their prices significantly.
There's nothing we can do about it.
After all, there are small factories everywhere here. If you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will, which has saved Su Yu a lot of costs.
The rest of the morning was spent visiting various contract manufacturers, listening to them boast about their factories, and listening to them try to win orders by appealing to emotions.
In the end, the cost was even reduced to five yuan per unit, with most of the money spent on electronic components and PCB boards. On average, the profit from producing one universal charger was less than one cent.
Seeing the factory owner's sincere attitude, Su Yu decisively signed the contract.
He did the math in his head: a regular universal charger only costs 5 yuan to produce, but retails for 10 yuan.
If you exclude shipping costs and damage to parts, you can make at least 4.5 yuan profit from a universal charger.
One costs 4.5, ten cost 45, and ten thousand cost 45000 yuan...
Based on the OEM's production capacity of delivering a batch of goods every three days, and excluding all unforeseen circumstances, at least nine batches of goods can be launched on the market within a month.
That is...
405000 yuan
And this is after calculating the money a single contract manufacturer can earn under various unforeseen circumstances.
If you increase investment and set up more factories, you will earn even more.
The profit margin is close to 50%.
This can no longer be called making money; this is blatantly robbing people out of their pockets!
As for sales...
Before smartphones came along, universal chargers never had to worry about sales!
Of course, this does not take into account the situation of counterfeit products.
However, even if the other party wanted to copy it, it would still take some time from copying to putting it into production.
In the initial stage, I still have an absolute advantage.
Moreover, with the An family as his backing, he shouldn't be bothered by anyone for the time being.
The first batch consists of 10,000 units, which will be released to the market and allowed to ferment before the second batch is released.
No one is faster than me.
It was already afternoon when Su Yu finished dealing with the OEM factory matters. He ate a quick bite of food and then received a call from Li Yang.
Li Yang said the person had been found and would arrive that afternoon.
This guy is pretty reliable; you don't need to worry about small things when you entrust them to him, but he's indecisive when it comes to big decisions.
Of course, he didn't need to deal with any major issues; he could just rely on his connections.
He wasn't starved to death in his past life, so it's even less likely he will be in this one.
On the other side, Liu Yifei was unsurprisingly given a severe scolding by Liu Xiaoli.
A young lady from a respectable family goes to play in the water?
She was dressed in a fairy-like outfit, but ended up covered in it?
This was utterly absurd in Liu Xiaoli's eyes.
"Don't laugh at me, it's all your fault."
Standing at the restaurant entrance, Liu Yifei looked utterly dejected. "If you hadn't taken me to the amusement park, I wouldn't have gotten yelled at."
Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't it you who wanted to go?"
"If I want to go, then take me with you. Isn't that your problem?"
"Since that's what you're saying, then I'll have to inform Ms. Liu Xiaoli before taking you out next time."
Liu Yifei quickly covered his mouth, "Our business is between the two of us, don't tell our parents. I didn't even say you liked my feet..."
"?"
Su Yu quickly interrupted her, "This is a personal attack on me!"
"So you don't like it?" Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow.
There are many kinds of liking; some liking is perverse, while some liking is appreciation.
Liu Yifei nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Oh, so you have a perverted appreciation."
Su Yu's lips twitched. "Don't joke like that. I don't want to be kidnapped as a pervert."
"Then I'll come see you..."
"By the way, you're going to America in two days. Is there anywhere you particularly want to go? If you don't go soon, it'll be too late."
Liu Yifei thought for a moment, her delicate, curled eyelashes trembling slightly, "It's not like I'm not coming back, I'm just staying there for a while."
"Then be careful."
Su Yu raised an eyebrow. He had watched too many videos about the "cutting line" in his previous life, and he always felt that there was nothing good about that kind of thing.
They keep proclaiming freedom, but the people at the bottom are living a miserable life. I remember reading in Yilin magazine that homeless people there can play the violin, which seemed so impressive.
But after activating his spiritual vision, he felt a chill run down his spine upon closer inspection.
It's worrying that such a young girl has to live there, even if it's for a short time.
"I think staying in China is fine. Going abroad to broaden your horizons is also an option, as long as you don't change your nationality."
"Actually, I didn't want to go either, but my mom said it was a great place."
"By the way, will you come to visit me in America sometime?"
Liu Yifei asked the question while she was drinking water with her head down, her expression hidden by the sunlight.
