Misc $150,000 in one shot... - Page 5

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
