Hoping Bling Bling Turns Into Caching
I do not believe I should tell anybody this economy is troublesome and many folks have been having a veryhard time. I lost my job about 4 months ago when the facility where I was working closed down two of their production lines and my brother in law, Barney got his final notice last month when his office announced that they were closing the doors forever.
Both of us spent a fair amount of time and effort on the lookout for new roles but with absolutely no luck. However, we were clear on the fact that we still needed earnings to pay our bills and support our families so Barney and i decided to go into business for ourselves.
We had no clear idea on what this operation would be as my only real ability and experience was in manufacturing washing machines and Barney had worked as a quality controls inspector at a candy company. However, my young neighbor convinced us that rap music, rappers and that hip hop approach to life was the latest expansion trend in our culture today. Now I must admit that both Barney and I agree the entire’rapper scene’ is just plain foolish but if it earns money then who are we to argue.
Somehow we made a decision to go after the jewellery segment of the hip hop market with the plan that we could start off rather small and just offer our merchandise for sale at flea markets till we could afford to open a regular store. So, our next task was to find a wholesale bling outlet.
We quickly discovered we had a serious problem in that we were a new business with no track record and no credit score which suggested that no-one would sell us any inventory apart from cash. They were all extraordinarily polite to assure us that credit terms would be possible after we were established but it was all going to be COD at the beginning. We started scrambling then to find a fast cash loan no credit check.
Well, we eventually got our financing together. Not especially as much as we wanted but enough to at least buy some starter inventory and get the project rolling and we had also found some promising wholesale outlets that we believed we could deal nicely with. However, none of these wholesale sellers was in out city so we were going to need to travel which meant making airline and hotel reservations.
Getting the airline reservations was very easy and most of the hotels now subscribe to some kind of online booking software that made dealing with them also pretty simple.
