$150,000 in one shot...
 

Would you do it?

The small production line I run, on average, ruins 60 bottles for a myriad of reasons. Some just can't be helped. We have a new owner, who is Chinese, and I find out they are exporting every bottle for $200 (We buy the same bottle here in town for $3). So my thought is this. I say I get the production to 100%, and still report the 60 bottles as broken, but take them home, and over time accumulate enough for a couple pallets and ship them to Chineseistan?

One carton of 12 bottles of sparkling water nets $2400 dollars. One pallet has 64 cartons. After shipping costs, whatever that may be (probably what? 2000 bucks). That nets $151,000.

Even if I took home a six pack every day for six months. There is no security, we all are against our new owners, but still maintain our ability to keep our jobs.

FOR ONE ****ING PALLET OF SPARKLING WATER. $150,000

Would you?

Rain Man, you have any shipping vessel recommendations? Looking to maximize my profit to debt ratio ;)

Sounds like you could just start your own business and make a lot more...but who the **** pays that much for a bottle of water?

Sounds like a scam to me

So, do you get to take home bottles for free?

Hmm, asking CP if you should steal stuff from your work place.

I say go for it . **** China.

If you can buy the bottles for $3.00 why resort to stealing them?

Just buy the bottles for $3 and sell them. Still seems like one of those, "I'm a prince from the middle east and need your help!" kind of deals.

Sounds like they are laundering money to me.

dumb.

Reported.

No shit. LMAO

I had a friend do this with "damaged" goods for a much smaller profit, and he went to prison. He is now working a low wage job that he is woefully overqualified for all because he got greedy.

Don't do it.

I know when I'm considering a major crime, I like to post it online to get some feedback.

What a dumbass ROFL

Just quit and find a new job.

Reported to FBI and homeland security

Lol @ 200$ per bottle

You wanna tell the Kangaroo Island Police for this guy.

Do this with 2 so you can use the funds from one to pay your lawyer and other expenses when you get caught and go to prison.

If you cant afford to buy some sparkling water for 50 cents a bottle and sell it for 200$ and you didn't think of this immediately then you are a dipshit

I don't see any problem with this plan, in fact it sounds glorious and failproof.

What I think we need now is a before pic of your b hole.

I think the key to selling $200 water is not the supply, but rather the demand.

If you can identify a Chinese person willing to pay $200, I can hook you up with some Romanians to get it there.

New Zealanders, folks

Isn't this the plot to Superman 3?

So you'll just magically increase production to 100%, huh?

Yep. Which makes stealing from them totally safe. What are they gonna do, call the cops? You can proceed without worry.

You sound like a Daewin award winner.

I think you misspelled dickhead when you typed your user name when you joined Chiefs Planet.

You wouldn't get shit for them. They are laundering money.

They will eventually get caught. Find a new job, then report them.

Yeah, or they just have an accident with him.

I ****ing hate thieves

No, I don't want to invest.

I'm going to offer some sound life-business advice.


If you honestly have a plan-suggestion to improve production or reduce damage/waste...spend some time writing that plan up and go present it to management and demonstrate how it's going to work and improve profit.

If the company is sound, they'll appreciate your information(if it works) and it should come in some reward via bonus-raise-promotion.

That's going to be more fiscally productive than trading rides on your moustache for snack credits in Aussie Rules prison.

LOL

To each his own... :D

To make sure it's genuine he's going to need to hold a can of deodorant next to it for scale.

Why do you curse so much?

Sounds like a good way to get the Yakuza on your ass, if the feds don’t get you first.

1. It’s a crime.
2. You’d need to have a relationship with a buyer for the transaction.
3. You’d need to not get ****ed by the buyer not paying you, or blackmailing you..
4. You’d need to have the buyer have a legit reason for why they don’t need to buy from their previous seller (your boss) without tipping off your boss that they have a thief.
5. You’d need to hide your earnings; the bank would tip off the feds if you deposit irregularly large sums of money.
6. You’d need your buyer to pay you in cash, which is weird and would require a face to face meeting which is risky for a dozen reasons.
7. You’d have your cash sitting under your mattress and couldnt buy anything like a car or whatever without tipping off feds.

If we were talking a million bucks, maybe. But ****ing your life for a year or two’s salary? Stupid.

Let me see if I understand:

You can by it for $3.00 a bottle legally and resell it to the Chinese for $200.00.... or
you can steal it and risk going to prison to save $3.00 per bottle.

If you can't figure out which is the best route to take, you're to stupid to do either.

I'm fairly certain anything that could be said has already been said in this thread. You're an idiot if you try to pull this off.

Just DO IT ! You could tell them also that you have about 5 pounds of pot ready for harvest.

OP: Hey guys, check out my geniuos get rich quick idea!

Yeah.

And way too stupid, too.

Is there a Nigerian prince involved?

you all crack me up. i wouldn't do anything to jeopardize my job. the thread was more of me being in awe as to how much someone will pay for a bottle of water. i may have to ask for a raise tho ROFL

I wouldn't do it. But I think you should. So we can see what happens.

the chinese for starters. haven't you heard how polluted everything is there?

legit business, not sure if china would be happy one of their own were screwing the chinese government :D

nlm

i have found it's the best way to go :thumb:

the chinese are buying aerosol cans of blue mountains air.... true story :D

i did today :thumb:

:facepalm: you think i am unaware of the implications are with my username?

99% of my post was being sarcastic. i am one of the few people that the new boss thinks highly of.

E-Tourette syndrome

would only need 6.5 pallets to get that accomplished :D

where is the fun in that? ROFL

$200 per bottle? And that's wholesale, how much do you think the consumer would end up paying for it?

I'm going with money laundering..

https://www.chinahighlights.com/trav...nking-cost.htm

"Drinks — 2–10 yuan (0.30–1.50 USD)
The cost for drinks in China is at least half the price in the West. The cheapest mineral water is about 2 yuan for a 500 ml bottle, while a similar bottle of cola is around4yuan. A can/bottle of beer is usually below 10 yuan.

You can also see many milk tea / fruit juice shops in cities. The cost for a cup, usually for take-out, is 5–10 yuan."

Re-read your own op..

Lying sack of crap.

Stealing $3 water and hoping to find a retail buyer on another continent for $200. ****ing stupid.

Selling futures in $3 for $200 sparkling water to a Chinese imbecile... Brilliant.

soooo, you have never exaggerated or embellished a story in your life to stoke a conversation? :thumb:

Lol..ok

Changing your story because everyone agrees it’s completely stupid?

My uncle has been a computer programmer since the 60s. One of his first jobs was something financial. He found out millions of dollars was just sitting around in unclaimed accounts that he could easily write a program to siphon off of. He said he had it all planned out, but realized his big mistake was mentioning the idea to several friends when it was just a joke to him. That was the only way he thought they could eventually trace it back to him.

But that's nothing like a public internet forum. So I say go for it Nickhead!

Is your uncle Peter from Office Space?

see, at least someone gets it ;)

they've got me bottling beers again. what should i do now? :D

Wait...you're serious? You actually think there's a company that legit pays $200 per bottle of water... And somehow sells that at a profit?

Either your facts are completely off or they're laundering money.

Yes

And

Now he was "joking" but he also got fired ....LOL

Beat me to it.

Has to be wrong on the math. I'm thinking not $200 U.S. Dollars but 200 RMB. Which would be about $30 U.S.

Highly doubtful though someone is paying $200 when it can be had for $3. He would make a better profit IMO with baby formula and the Chinese would probably look the other way.

So Nickhead just thought about pilfering water and they shit canned his ass?

Those Chinese business people are bad asses.

Eyyyyyy! I found it

Why the heck do you think I took that freighter to China? Chinese people will pay a king's ransom for a full shipping container of Doritos.

That's called penny shaving

Australia and bottling plant sounds like that Coca-Cola Kid movie with Eric Roberts and Greta Scacchi when she was real sexy.

you win the thread, finally...

holy ****ing shit!!!...

that movie, had moments filmed at the place i worked and the surrounds...

https://res.akamaized.net/domain/ima...6_15-27-53.jpg

this image was taken before the chinese lady, that would eventually end up in a mental institution, lose 6.5 million on the business, and sell back to the previous owner, the customer list. ROFL


i can not believe someone knew of the movie.

if I was going to do that I wouldn't post about it lol

Oh yeah, I even have or had a vhs copy. I must have got it at a library sale or some clearance or thrift store.

I think I saw review on Siskel and Ebert, and saw it at theatre when it was playing.

i actually found an online stream of the movie and watched (skipped thru) it last night. that chick is hawt too as you said :D

:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Sounds like money laundering. Getting caught would probably get your whole family dead. In jail at best. Unless you know someone already shipping stuff. You are going to have to pay 20k plus to ship. Not sure how you will get by their export customs.
