This temporary construction team was established under Luke's suggestion, and Fudge and the others managed and supervised it at any time. In the past two months, it really seemed like a decoration company.
According to Luke's understanding in his previous life, it can be regarded as a labor contracting team with the appearance of a formal company.
Fudge Karen and several old decoration workers each assumed part of the responsibilities of the contractor.
Fudge and Karen's management skills are good, and the experience of several old decoration workers is also very experienced. In addition, Luke's donation was quickly and timely, which gave this temporary team a good environment.
Now this temporary team of the copycat version of the contractor team has inexplicably formed the prototype of a small home improvement company, which is running stably and well, and some people are tempted.
At the end of the community reconstruction, those old decoration workers brought more than a dozen "temporary" half-aged children to find Fuji, and asked the little fat man seriously whether he could really set up a home improvement company.
A home improvement company with more than 20 people is enough to undertake the home improvement business of ordinary people in the United States.
Fudge was a little taken aback by this sudden proposal.
After two days of careful consideration, he and Karen analyzed the feasibility with the help of the old decorators.
The final conclusion is - feasible.
But any new business has to face one thing, and that is the problem of early losses.
There are very few businesses that do not lose money once they start. The difference is only a matter of how long and how much they lose.
For this possible home improvement company, the best start is to receive a large order.
With the profit provided by a large order, the new home improvement company can unite the hearts of the employees, and the profit can maintain the operation for a period of time, and then use this buffer period to strive to expand the business group and grow from small to large.
Luke understood as soon as he heard it: "But it's very difficult to take a big order at the opening. This company is likely to be very difficult in the early stage. Maybe it will be difficult for a month or two. Once people's hearts are scattered, the company will collapse."
Fudge: "I think so too. But the competition here in New York is too fierce, and they rush in like this, it's likely..." He made a high-diving gesture.
Luke laughed: "Actually, what you are worried about is not those old decorators, but the dozen or so children?"
Fudge nodded subconsciously: "Yes. Those few old workers can continue to be blue-collar workers without starting a company, their life will not be too bad, and the blow will not be too great. But the dozen or so children, they managed to have I had an opportunity to participate in community reconstruction, and I didn’t quit within two months. If the first venture fails, I’m afraid they will think that this kind of effort is meaningless. Then they can only go to gangs and sell miscellaneous goods in the end. shit, go to jail, and die on the street or in jail one day."
Luke also understood this concern.
A setback is not a big problem for people in their thirties and forties.
But these half-grown children who came out of the streets of Clinton District can only be regarded as the end of the second year of middle school.
These half-grown children who grew up in a harsh environment are psychologically sensitive, and they still fail after struggling desperately.
At that time, they will choose another road of no return and meet the fate of dying suddenly before the age of thirty.
Luke thought for a moment, then looked at Fudge: "What do you want me to do for you?"
Fudge giggled: "Well, you are well-informed, look for places that need home improvement, I'll let them come to the door directly for service..."
Luke was stunned for a moment, and then he looked weird: "You mean, let me provide information, where the interior of the house is more damaged, let them go to solicit business?"
Fudge nodded: "It's best if the couple quarrels, accidental fire, water pipe burst, natural damage, it won't affect you."
Luke couldn't laugh or cry.
That's a good idea, Fudge.
The department in New York that receives the most information of this kind is nypd.
A small home improvement company with 20 people can't take on many jobs, and the home improvement maintenance of three or five small accidents every day can keep them busy.
This is not a big deal, the house where the accident happened will certainly not be hidden from the neighbors, but only the nypd can grasp the overall information.
Luke was not in a hurry to give an answer, but just said, "Let me go back and think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."
Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, who are those ten or so children who are willing to be decorators?"
Fudge looked strangely: "Charlie, Laka, Hudson, Moby, Dido... Well, most of them are familiar with you."
Luke stood up with a satisfied smile on his face: "Well, I'm very happy that they are willing to go on the right path. It seems that my efforts were not in vain."
Fudge watched Luke walk out of the office, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Is your effort to buy their mother with money, so that these little bastards have to come to move bricks?"
Immediately, he shook his head and laughed again: "Forget it, at least let these children have a hope."
Nearly 150 children and young people participated in community reconstruction activities. In the end, only 16 of them wanted to continue working with those old renovation workers, a rate of almost 10%.
Luke spent hundreds of thousands of dollars back and forth, giving these more than a dozen children a chance to choose their future again. This good deed is impeccable.
Of course, Luke would not fail to hear the little fat man's behind-the-scenes gossip, but fortunately, it was basically positive.
He just went downstairs with a smile, and told Selena about it after getting in the car.
After listening, Selena nodded after thinking for a moment: "It doesn't seem to be difficult, right? It's not difficult to screen materials that don't involve sex, and they don't need much work."
Luke nodded.
When she said it was not difficult, she meant using an intelligent program.
Both small snails and sponges can complete this screening work.
As for the news from the police radio station, it was already under the surveillance of Xiaosnail.
"It's really not difficult." He said casually, "So I will use the shell company to invest a sum of money in and take part of the equity of this home improvement company."
Selena: "Huh?"
Luke smiled: "Do you remember why I made that community reconstruction plan?"
"Let those brats move the bricks to Tuba." Selina replied without thinking, and immediately understood: "holyshxt! You want them to help you move the bricks for a lifetime?"
Luke nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, this is a blue-collar job that guarantees income during drought and flood. How many people in New York want to do it."
Selena: "... as long as you are happy."
The company doesn't need much money to start up, and everyone knows the level of those old decorators in the past two months, and the houses that have been repaired are proof.
If you use the door-to-door service method proposed by Fuji, you will definitely not lose money.
The only problem is that when you start to attract customers, the more than a dozen "temporary workers" who have transferred to apprentices will have a harder time.
But is this a bad thing
As the old saying goes, if you want to achieve great things, you must first eat dirt.
As long as the more than a dozen half-grown children from the Clinton area have eaten the soil this time, they will become the "veterans" of the home improvement company, and their good days will be long in the future.
