Day 10 – Tuesday, 25th
Today is day 2 of the ACTUAL business games.
We woke up at 7, showered and went to breakfast at 7:45 again.
When showering, i noticed my hair is tangled way more now. I suspect it is the shampoo that the hotel uses.
We also don't seem to have an air dryer...
I had a basic breakfast, mostly fruit and drinks.
We went back to shool so that we arived at 9:00, and started the day off emidiately.
Last night, i had an idea. An idea that would make us BANK!
I made a list of all dutch company's we would be buying from for the dutch office... What if i used the same concept to scope out all the prices of the german electronics companies.
And so i did, and gues what... We were cheapest by a large margin.
I knew we weren't making much profit on some items, but i thought they weren't either... until i checked.
On the other sites, their cheapest version of our items could be up up to 50-60%* of our pricing.
So we changed our pricing to still be the cheapest, but now making up to 65%points MORE profit on certain product. Increasing total profits by a threefold in certain cases.
This day, we also got mass orders from Danish companies. Asking for 30-40 products at a time.
At the end of the day, starting with a standerd 50k balance, we ended at 52k.
Whie we still had to calculate in cost of purchase for a few items that would be used in Arnhem, we also had unpaid debit totaling the same amount or more.
And seeing that technicaly, the cost of the dutch products will eventualy be covered by the sale of the dutch office interior to the prospect, we shouldn't calculate them in our total net profit.
Meaning that, (in comparison to other german companies), we made fat STACKS of money!
We had a functioning business system, were using actual business tactics to maximalise sales and profit margines, and controlled our mony well enough to have a positive difference on our company ballance.
In total, i am REALLY happy with the result so far.
Me and some other guys (Bennet, Carlo and Tony) headed out to the Edeka for lunch (their lcoal version of AH).
We chatted a bit and i confessed that some of the girls were interested... They weren't.
We talked about our realational statuses and shared fotos of our girlfriends. (ofcourse, mine was the best <3).
We all headed back to the hotel... but on the way there we were told that we were going on a suprise trip to a museum... *Shocked*
I wanted to try my energy out for today, and prepared for an onknown adventure.
After grabbing our stuff, everyone gathered at the entrance of the hotel and we walked together to the busstation to pick us up and bring us to our destination.
The suprise museum? Wildlife!
Didn't think i would enjoy it much, but it was pretty decent.
Not Incredible, but likeable enough.
The museum had defferent types of animals, with each their own section and a shared hall in the middle.
You had Sea, deep sea, land animals, birds and a room dedicated to teaching us about climate change and the plastic soup.
While looking at it all, i made aproximately 90+ pictures. There were some noteworthe animals worth noting:
- Platipus <3
- capibara <3
- foxes <3
- seaguls
- chimps
- sealions
- and crocodiles
Really interesting stufff.
I did have to take a break for my mental and fisical fitness... as i didn't want myself overstimmulated or barfing on museum grounds.
After leaving, i headed of to the hotel... ordered take out, worked on my blogs and had the rest of the night off.
Today's raiting: 9,5/10 Feeling really good about today!
