I think the number one thing that really made me where I'm at right now was just showing up every single day and putting in that work.

我認為，真正讓我走到今天的第一件事，就是每天都出現在我面前，並付出努力。

Whether I had to clean the floor or the sidewalk, you know, or wipe something down or pick something up, I was just showing up.

It's a big, big community that's growing with us.

這是一個與我們共同成長的龐大社區。

I still don't believe I wake up every day and I'm coming to get an actual tax paying check for selling marijuana.

我還是不相信，每天醒來，我就會因為賣大麻而拿到一張實實在在的繳稅支票。

So our monthly revenue is around $800,000, so half of that, let's say $400,000 is a profit.

是以，我們的月收入約為 80 萬美元，其中一半，比方說 40 萬美元是利潤。

So we got $400,000 of product, now we have $400,000 left.

所以我們得到了 40 萬美元的產品，現在還剩下 40 萬美元。

Now we have, let's say 20% of that is going to go out to our labor, so about $100,000.

現在，讓我們假設其中的 20% 將用於我們的勞動力，是以大約為 10 萬美元。

Now you have another $50,000, $60,000 in rent, utility bills, light, internet.

We're putting files in here, which is expensive.

At the end of the day, we're running at a 13% profit margin.

So from that $800,000, we pretty much profit about $100,000.

是以，從這 80 萬美元中，我們幾乎獲利約 10 萬美元。

And that $100,000 is where ownership gets dividends.

Once that $100,000 is profit, I'm probably getting like $50,000 in profit.

一旦這 10 萬美元成為利潤，我可能會獲得 5 萬美元的利潤。

And then in that $50,000, I got to probably pay 30% of that in taxes.

So at the where I could do tax write-offs on vehicles and different office space and stuff like that.

When I was a kid, people would ask me, what do you want to be when you grow up?

小時候，人們會問我，你長大後想做什麼？

You know, so I used the stuff that I had around me.

I was doing all this all body weight boot camp.

我當時參加的是全體重訓練營。

So I'm going up to females wearing yoga pants, telling them I'm doing this calm body workout.

所以，我穿著瑜伽褲走到女性面前，告訴她們我在做這種平靜的身體鍛鍊。

這是一個監獄式的新兵訓練營。

I was on a phone call with my friend from Massachusetts telling him, you know, I'm coming in, getting into this market, just brainstorming on what we were coming up with the name was because I wanted to keep similarities to the gym.

我當時正在和我在馬薩諸塞州的朋友打電話，告訴他，你知道，我要進來了，要進入這個市場了，我們正在集思廣益，想出一個好名字，因為我想讓健身房保持相似性。

And then Combat was born through our conversation.

然後，戰鬥就在我們的談話中誕生了。

So I was following this law and what they required was two years of a net profitable business and a conviction on your record.

是以，我一直在遵守這項法律，他們要求我必須有兩年的淨利潤，並且有定罪記錄。

Now, how many people have that to qualify for a cannabis license?

現在，有多少人有資格獲得大麻許可證？

The business is only four of us, myself, my two cousins that are partners and a minority stakeholder, Carlos.

公司只有我們四個人，我自己、我的兩個堂兄弟是合夥人，還有一個小股東卡洛斯。

And we raised money with Carlos and the money that we put up and we build this, you know, it took us $1.2 million.

我們和卡洛斯一起籌集資金，並建造了這座大樓，你知道，我們花了 120 萬美元。

And that was because the landlord, they put a big ticket price on your rent.

那是因為房東在你的房租上加了一大筆錢。

The previous tenants that were here, Moscow, they were paying $25,000 a month.

之前在這裡的租戶，莫斯科人，每月支付 25,000 美元。

For somebody that's taking a risk, somebody that's coming into a new industry, this is a massive takedown.

對於冒著風險進入新行業的人來說，這是一次巨大的挑戰。

And the landlord wanted us to put a whole 10 months worth of rent down, you know, so out of security deposit, $400,000 because banks in America are not allowed to bank cannabis.

房東要我們先付整整10個月的房租，從押金裡拿出40萬美元，因為美國的銀行不允許存大麻。

So the breakdown of that $1.2 million startup capital that we had went on construction.

是以，我們所擁有的 120 萬美元啟動資金中的大部分都用於建設。

我們不得不對整個地方進行重組。

A lot of the installations, kiosks, all that stuff, that all added about $600,000.

許多設施、報刊亭等都增加了約 60 萬美元。

Now we have about $400,000 in down payment for the landlord.

現在我們為房東準備了大約 40 萬美元的首付款。

That's a million dollars and now we have about $200,000 to work with.

這是一百萬美元，現在我們大約有 20 萬美元可以使用。

So when we were starting, it was a very tight position.

是以，當我們開始時，位置非常緊張。

Right now, $800K revenue, 13% profit margins, about $100K.

現在，收入 80 萬美元，利潤率 13%，約 10 萬美元。

The problem is that's not a big profit margin.

Profit margins will increase as they legalize cannabis nationally.

隨著大麻在全國範圍內合法化，利潤率將會增加。

So a lot of the stuff that I could like tax deduct on employees, you know, all that stuff I cannot do federally.

是以，我可以為員工減稅的很多事情，你知道，聯邦都不能做。

And so one thing that we're pushing is getting legislators to sign off on the Safer Banking Act.

是以，我們正在推動的一件事就是讓立法者簽署《加強銀行業安全法》。

Safer Banking Act will allow us to bank on a regular bank, will allow us to tax deduct a lot of our employees and tax deductions.

更安全銀行法》將允許我們在正規銀行辦理銀行業務，將允許我們對很多員工進行減稅和扣稅。

So that 13% will grow to 25% profit margins.

是以，13% 的利潤率將增長到 25%。

So the state allows us to take up to 20% of someone's business who has a license that's about to open.

是以，州政府允許我們從有執照且即將開業的人的生意中最多抽取 20%。

That allows me to partner up with different licensees and fund 20% of their business and then allow them to do a licensing deal to call it Combud.

這樣，我就可以與不同的被許可人合作，資助他們 20% 的業務，然後讓他們進行許可交易，稱之為 Combud。

And that won't tap into my second location, third location.

而且，這也無法利用我的第二個地點、第三個地點。

I see Combud becoming a force of nature to deal with in this industry.

我看到，Combud 正在成為這個行業中一股不可忽視的力量。

I feel like I could capture 25% of this New York State market.

我覺得我可以佔領紐約州 25% 的市場。

I'm working on a huge plan and nobody's going to stop me until I get there.

我正在實施一個龐大的計劃，在我實現目標之前，沒人能阻止我。
