Packaging

The first weekend of December has passed. Although there are still two or three weeks before Christmas, there is already a festive atmosphere in the Wal-Mart supermarket.

Christmas trees, gift boxes, toys and other areas are surrounded by adults who come to buy. On the most important holiday of the year, parents also hope to bring a surprise gift to their children.

After Ryder and Anna purchased the daily necessities needed by the tranquility club, he chose an encyclopedia of pharmacy for himself.

In this way, when he finishes cleaning, he can find something to do, so that he doesn't let himself think nonsense.

Pushing the shopping cart, Ryder came to the back of the line at the cashier and waited for the checkout. Although he didn't have a job, the tranquility club gave him a $4 hour because of cleaning.

So although he didn't earn much, Ryder can still bear the money for dozens of dollars to buy books.

The line lined up to him, and Ryder was stunned when he put the things in the shopping cart on the counter.

Then he threw down his things and ran away before Anna and the cashier reacted.

"Ryder, F*ukyou! I see you!" Aunt Rachel hurriedly wanted to chase her out, but the locked baffle stopped her.

Yes, the cashier who just stood in front of Ryder is Aunt Rachel, who has been working part-time at the only Wal-Mart supermarket in Youngstown.

I didn't expect to meet Ryder here today, but she didn't find him at the first time because she was busy checking out.

For Ryder, Aunt Rachel is also in a complicated mood. He should have been a good child.

He has a decent job as a pharmacist assistant in the pharmacy of a private hospital in the east of the city.

Unfortunately, he got lost and went astray, and he hasn't found his way until today.

...

On Bruce Street, Dean is taking stock of the gains of the past few days.

With the automatic dialing software, day and night attempts, he has gained more than 30 available access codes.

And several of these special numbers were marked by Dean with a marker.

The reason why they are special is that these access codes are also a kind of prepaid phone cards.

But the difference is that they do not have a pre-recharge limit, and are replaced by cumulative time.

In other words, it is a $20 phone card. If it is used up, the corresponding access code will be invalid.

But the time card is different. It can be reused and then settle the phone bill monthly or quarterly.

Usually, this kind of time card is an exclusive card issued by a telephone company to large companies.

Large companies are busy with business because of the large number of people. Whether it is internal telephone or external long-distance, there is a huge demand every month.

Reimbursing everyone's telephone bill will obviously increase a lot of administrative work. At this time, a shared dial-up access code will greatly facilitate all this.

With it, the telephone fee used by the whole company can be settled once a month, which is very simple.

Dean's eyes flashed at the marked special access codes, and he had to make good use of them, which was much more valuable than those prepaid phone cards.

In addition, he has collected so many access codes, and it may be time to consider how to realize them.

The sooner this phone card is processed, the better. It's better not to do it for more than a month.

"Dean, someone replied to your post." Just as Dean was thinking about his fortune, Debbie came back from the door.

"Debby, how do you know that someone replied to my post?" Dean asked strangely.

"I checked your post in the school's computer room, and someone asked you when to see the house. I think he may be the person you are looking for."

Debbie's community college also has computer courses, and of course, it also has its own computer room. As young people, they are the first to come into contact with the Internet.

Dean, who got the unexpected news, decided to read the reply in the post first.

"By the way, Dean, when was the website you mentioned last time ready? I did a lot of publicity for you at school."

"Well, wait a minute, Debbie. You know, I've been a little busy lately." Dean, who had just built a folder, responded with a guilty feeling.

However, when the goods in hand are disposed of, it is indeed time to put this matter on the agenda. Dean expects to complete the basic prototype in a week at most.

When he came upstairs and turned on the computer, Dean quickly found his post. Because there are many followers, its ranking is still relatively high.

Excluding those irrigation, Dean quickly screened out the information he wanted.

Some people are used to asking for the price directly under the post, and some people will follow Dean's prompts to send the information to his mailbox.

But many people generally talk a few words and no longer respond. Dean suspects that they just want to join in the fun or find someone to chat.

Because he swears that the monthly rent of $520 is absolutely not expensive for a villa-style house, even for a small and medium-sized city like Youngstown.

However, today's reply is a little interesting. He didn't ask Dean about the price of the rental house at the first time.

Instead, his first question is that Dean doesn't mind paying the rent with a rental voucher.

Some landlords like rental vouchers, while others don't.

It is a rental subsidy policy implemented by the federal government for low-income families, which can also be understood as rental vouchers.

Since the revision of the terms in 1987, which allowed rental voucher holders to use it in any area in the metropolitan area, it has gradually become popular.

After the landlord gets the rental voucher paid by the tenant, he can go to the welfare building in the city center and exchange it for cash in full, and there will be no discount in the middle.

So why are there still many landlords who avoid rental vouchers, because they want to avoid additional building code requirements and tedious administrative procedures.

That's right. If the landlord wants to use the rental voucher to get the cash of the government subsidy, it is not easy to do it.

First of all, the house must meet the safety and quality requirements of the housing agency. For example, the necessary facilities such as water heaters and heating should be complete, and there will be special personnel for regular door-to-door inspection.

In addition, landlords must also participate in the "landlord training courses" held by housing agencies in the welfare building. Only if all of these are met will the federal government exchange rental vouchers for landlords.

Obviously, most houses in the rental market can't even pass the first one. Either there are cracks in the wall, or the heating equipment is not up to standard. If the landlord wants to save money and does not repair it in time, the tenant can even call the housing agency to report it.

Once such a thing happens, not only the rent of the month is ruined, but the landlord will also face the rectification requirements of the housing agency, so many people can't avoid rental vouchers.

Most states in the United States do not force landlords to receive rental vouchers, so although rental vouchers are common throughout the country, there are not many landlords who are willing to accept them.

But there are exceptions to everything. Those apartments in good housing conditions are very willing to accept rental vouchers.

Because of the rental vouchers, tenants actually pay very little out of their own money every month, so they are more able to accept relatively high rents.

In addition, the rental market does not like rental vouchers, which makes renters with rental vouchers continue to raise the expected rent of the house in their hearts.

Usually, the rent of a house paid with a rental voucher is $100 to $300 higher than that of similar apartments.

Strictly speaking, this is the landlord's psychology of "you don't have to pay for it yourself anyway" and swheing the taxpayer's oil.

So I saw the word rental voucher, Dean. Grant's eyes lit up. He is very confident that his Charlotte's house will definitely pass the review of the Housing Administration.

If you can charge an extra one or two hundred dollars, won't the monthly mortgage be ignored?

This business can be done, and Dean is slapping on the keyboard.

Soon, the other party's email was also replied.

Yes, after knowing that the opposite side was also white through the chat hint just now, he immediately agreed with the other party to see the house.

The house on Charlotte Street may not be used by Dean in the future, but at least Dad needs it.

Before he has enough financial ability, renting out is the best choice.

One more thing was done. Dean happily took the access codes recorded on the paper and went out to repackage them.

...

In front of a copy shop on Xihai Street in the east of the city, Dean is talking to the boss here.

"We can design a variety of patterns for you, which will definitely make it look eye-catching and unique, and you will never forget it at a glance."

The owner of this copy shop also works part-time in various advertising and business card design. He boasts about how amazing and high-end the cards he designed are to Dean.

"How much is a patterned one?" Dean dealt with it casually.

"15 cents, and there will be a discount if there are enough quantities."

"What about the one without patterns?"

"What?"

"I mean it's blank and original."

"8 cents a piece, no discount."

"Give me thirty. By the way, remember to print these numbers. It must be clear, not easy to wear, not too soft, not too thin..."

"..." Copy shop owner.

Five minutes later, in the boss's disgusted eyes, Dean left the copy shop happily.

Well, that's good. At least it feels like that.

The card in Dean's hand is as big as the MCI phone card, and even the color is brown, but the logo on it becomes MCL.

Then there are only two lines of card number and discount code left on the whole card surface, and there is a string of numbers behind them.

This is much more convenient, simple and clear, and there is no traceable information.

Returning to Bruce Street with full harvest, Dean bumped into Aunt Rachel with a serious face.

"Dean, I met Ryder today."
