Prophet's Blog: Trying to finish a Feburary post ... This will have to do. [CrazedSanity.com]

So an idea was brought to me on cheap labor and easy money. Gren, Karnir and I are planning to import about six chinamen, two for the each of us. To replace us in our day to day work activities.

The plan, they will replace us at work while we take the time to do normal activities, such as test new products (video games), hold brainstorming sessions and creative writing seminars (play DnD), work on our new "Balance and Agility the New You" body shaping plan (skateboarding and sword fighting), and scout out for new talent (go to local venues and catch shows).

Here's how it works, we will ship in 6 chinamen, set them up in an apartment that's no more than $240 a month, the lower the better you will end up with more net profit. These china men will replace us at our normal jobs, perhaps you may want to search for another one, heck you'd have 2 chinamen for yourself, and pay them $8 a day for their labor. Heck they should love that, the average annual income of a Chinese worker is about $1500. $8 a day for an average working year of 260 days, now this is not excluding holidays. This rounds out to about $2080 a year.

Now it helps if you go in on this with a business partner, the more chinamen you can fit into an apartment the better, we're figuring 6 to a $200 1 room apartment. Now we will subtract $2 a day for their rental fee's $2 x 5 days x 6 men = $60 a week, for four weeks = $240 a month, great for a nice apartment. Plus if you can find one for cheaper you save that much more money.

Okay so here is the real math and the basics on how much money you can come away with. Say you have 2 full time jobs paying minimum wage, about $5.15 currently. $5.15 x 40hrs a week x 52 weeks a year = approx. $10,712 a year x 2 for your second job = $21,424 total gross income. For a Chinaman at $8 a day - $2 for boarding = $1560 still more than there previous average x 2 for both chinamen = $3120. Plus their boarding costs, let's say $180 a month split 3 ways for every 2 chinamen, means you are only paying $60 a month, $720 a year. Heck I paid that much a month for an apartment once, and they'll be happy, it beats the shack they were living in back home. So $3120 + $720 = $3840, $21,424 - $3840 = $17584 Gross profit that goes in your pocket.

Now if you really want to keep them around for awhile instead of simply buying new one's every time one of the others dies off. To prevent this you may need to feed your chinamen but this doesn't end up two expensive either, the answer, Ramen Noodles, heck it's what they eat anyways. Well a 24 pack case cost's about $11, now this can stretch your 2 chinamen about 1 week, 12 days if your stingy. $11 x 52 weeks = $572 a year, subtract this from your previous Gross and you still walk away with $17,012 and hey that ain't bad.

The problem now is obtaining and shipping the chinamen and I'm hoping that I can get a bunch of you on board with this cuz I figure if we buy in bulk they may combine shipping. Unfortunately Google does not provide any information on the cost of purchasing or shipping of chinamen, so I'll have to make some calls.

If you're interested let me know.
