Chapter 38 The profiteering glasses industry
Xu Liang nodded, "What industries do you plan to invest in? The Internet?"
"No." Jiang Xiaoyang shook his head decisively, "Nasdaq is crumbling now, which is not a good time to invest in the Internet. I want to take a look at the glasses industry."
"The glasses industry? Why did you suddenly think of this?" Xu Liang was a little surprised.
“When I was at Columbia, I had a classmate who was from Danyang, and more than half of the country’s glasses were produced in Danyang. According to him, the glasses industry was very profitable.
Even the most expensive pure titanium frames on the market cost only about 50 yuan. But when these frames go out of Danyang and enter the market, it is not unusual for the price to increase dozens of times.
And that's just the frame.
In terms of lenses, the retail price of coated lenses with a refractive index of 1.56 is about 300 yuan; the retail price of lenses with a refractive index of 1.61 is about 600 yuan; and the retail price of lenses with a refractive index of 1.67 is about 800 yuan.
In Danyang, the wholesale price of green film resin lenses with a refractive index of 1.56 is about 8 yuan, and the wholesale price of gold film resin lenses is about 19 yuan. Aspherical resin lenses with a refractive index of 1.61 are only about 21 yuan.
The cost is less than a hundred yuan, but it can easily be sold for thousands of yuan.
With over 90% profit, the returns are so generous. "
Listening to Jiang Xiaoyun's excited explanation, Xu Liang was sure that her classmate at Columbia University must be a licker. Otherwise, how could she casually tell others such important internal information.
If it were him, he would never tell an outsider, otherwise it would only increase his competitors.
"Since you have an investment direction, go for it. I will give you all this fund."
The amount is only half a million US dollars. With his current wealth, even if he loses money, it will not harm the overall situation.
It would be better if Jiang Xiaoyang made money, and he would also get a lot of money and an excellent fund for nothing.
However, in this day and age, if you invest in the eyewear industry, as long as you don’t mess around, you are unlikely to lose money.
"But let's agree in advance that if the floating loss of this fund exceeds 30%..."
"I will disband the fund and come back to work for you. I will do whatever you ask me to do." Jiang Xiaoyang interrupted.
Xu Liang felt a little ambiguous when he heard this.
"Is this what you said?"
She rolled her eyes at him and said, "You want me to sign a contract for you in black and white?"
"That's not necessary, just remember it."
Jiang Xiaoyang stood up, "If it's okay, I'll go back first? I've been running outside for more than half a month and I'm exhausted."
"I will see the South Korean game industry report in at most two months." Xu Liang reminded.
"Know."
Xu Liang waved his hand, and Jiang Xiaoyang turned and left.
——
The days passed day by day, and it was soon time to get off work amidst the busy work.
Xu Liang put on his coat and came out, and Lu Hui quickly got up.
"Where's the red wine I asked you to prepare?"
Lu Hui quickly picked up a gift box from behind the desk.
"Latu from 1999?"
Lu Hui nodded, "Mr. Xu, this is the invoice."
After a brief look, he returned it.
"Get reimbursement from the Finance Department."
"Um."
Xu Liang left the company carrying the box.
After spending a little more money, he had gotten his driver's license.
The car he drives is still the company's Santana. In fact, he prefers SUVs, but the prices are not cheap as far as he can see. The company is currently in a rapid development stage and needs money everywhere.
He also doesn’t want to spend hundreds of thousands or millions on a car.
Turn the wheel and join the traffic.
“I’m really not used to not having a navigation system.”
Fortunately, you don’t need to drive too far, you’ll be there after a few intersections.
There weren't many cars at this time, so it wasn't difficult to park.
"This is Unit 3 of Building 8."
After looking at the many floors in front of him, he stepped upstairs.
Knocked on the door of 302.
Not long after, the door opened.
"Mr. Xu? Come in quickly."
Zhao Xing, who was promoted to the director of the Academic Affairs Office of the New Dream Beijing Studio, saw his salary increase to 2,500 yuan, which is considered middle-class. In addition to the 50,000 yuan he paid for selling the studio, he has now successfully moved into a new home and moved out of the Tongzi Building.
"Old Zhao, don't be so rigid in private, just call me by my name." Xu Liang said.
He said and handed over the gift box in his hand.
"You came to the house for the first time after moving in. You didn't know what to bring, so you bought a bottle of red wine."
"Thank you, thank you. That's very kind of you."
Hearing the noise, Li Nannan, who was cooking in the kitchen, also came out to greet them.
"Mr. Xu is here?"
"Just arrived."
"Please take a seat."
"Yes, please sit down quickly." Zhao Xing also agreed.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Xu Liang smiled.
"Is it a good day today?"
"These are some home-cooked side dishes, just don't find them unpleasant to eat, Mr. Xu," Li Nannan said.
"Home-cooked dishes are good, but I can't get used to big fish and meat."
"Mr. Xu is so funny." Li Nannan turned around and said, "Zhao Xing, please chat with Mr. Xu for a while. I have one more dish. After finishing it, we can start dinner."
"Okay, go ahead."
Li Nannan hurried back to the kitchen.
Xu Liang smiled and said: "Old Zhao, when will you and Sister Li get married? I'm waiting for the wedding banquet."
Zhao Xing's face showed shyness, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
"I'll definitely send you an invitation in September next year."
"That's good." Xu Liang pointed to the sofa next to him, "Sister Li's food is not ready yet, let's go sit there for a while."
"Okay, I'll make you tea."
After the fragrant tea was brewed, Xu Liang picked it up and took a few sips before smiling.
"Old Zhao, how does it feel to be the dean of students during this time?"
“It was a bit stressful when I first took office, but I got used to it after my work became smoother.
Of course, it is mainly due to your contribution. After signing the "Option Agreement" and "Competition Agreement", everyone's minds have stabilized. Otherwise, I’m afraid half of the teachers in our studio would have to leave. "
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
The flyers that have been distributed for two months have completely opened up the art training market in Beijing. These teachers who are living in the new dream feel the most profoundly.
Compared to a monthly salary of two thousand yuan, wouldn't it be nice to open a studio of your own and earn ten or twenty thousand yuan a month?
Although not everyone has this intention, as long as there is half, or even one-third, the teaching of New Dreams will be chaotic.
"Mr. Xu, I would like to give you some suggestions on teaching."
"you say."
"Although we now have standard classes and intensive classes, the teaching content is similar. Many students with poor foundation cannot keep up. Those who are good at drawing feel that the daily content is very simple and lacks challenge, and they get tired after a long time."
"So I think we should divide the classes again. In addition to standard classes and intensive classes, we should also divide them into basic classes and fine arts classes."
"The basic class is mainly aimed at students with zero basic knowledge. The teaching content mainly focuses on geometry, human skulls and single still life sketches."
"The teaching contents of the standard class are mainly portraits, still lifes composed of no more than five pieces, and sketches."
