Chapter 261： Found another small gold mine

? After a while in Southampton, I found a restaurant opened by Chinese. Xia Yu and others walked towards the door of the restaurant.

When he first arrived at the gate, suddenly a little boy ran out of the restaurant. There were words from his mother telling him not to run, but it was useless. The little boy didn’t notice someone at the door and ran into Xia Yu. There was an exclamation on his body. Fortunately, Xia Yu's eyes were quick, and he caught him in time to prevent him from falling to the ground.

"Sir, I'm sorry!"

After the little boy hit Xia Yu, his mother ran over and apologized to Xia Yu.

"Patrick, apologize!"

Then, the blond foreign woman said reproachfully to the little boy.

"Sorry, I'm all to blame for running too fast and not looking at the road, please forgive me!"

The little boy named Patrick lowered his head and said guiltily.

"It's okay. Be careful next time. Safety is the most important thing!"

How could Xia Yu care about a little boy? Which kid never bumped into someone when he was a child? What's more, the little boy seemed to be very polite and even apologized to him, so that shouldn't be blamed.

Xia Yu smiled, touched the little boy's head and said gently.

"I will not run around next time, I promise!"

"Oh, no, there is no next time."

The little boy Patrick immediately nodded and promised, and then realized that he had said something wrong, he immediately changed his words, making the mother beside him smile.

"Thank you!"

Then, the mother of the little boy Patrick expressed her gratitude to Xia Yu.

"This is yours, take it, don't drop it!"

At this time, Yan Shining picked up something from the ground and gave it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu remembered that it had fallen from the boy's hand when the boy hit him just now.

Seeing the little boy's pitiful eyes, Xia Yu smiled and gave him the things in his hand. The little boy smiled suddenly and said politely, "Thank you!"

At this moment, Xia Yu glanced at the thing in the little boy's hand again, and he realized that he felt familiar.

Take a closer look, six sides and six colors, it turned out to be a Rubik's Cube, and it is not a common third-order Rubik's Cube, but a very primitive second-order Rubik's Cube.

Suddenly, Xia Yu thought of a lot of things. It seemed that the Rubik's Cube had just appeared, and even the third-order Rubik's Cube had not been invented yet, and it was still in the original second-order Rubik's Cube stage.

Thinking of the Rubik's Cube, which is popular all over the world and sold more than 100 million yuan, Xia Yu's heart is hot.

This is a gold mine that only opened a small mouth and did not attract attention!

As long as you get the Rubik's Cube, in addition to making money for Xia Yu, his newly established toy company has a Dinghai Shenzhen. A Rubik's Cube toy is a series that can be developed continuously, from the second order to the third order and the fourth order, and even the latter. For the thirteenth level, you can also research and launch variant Rubik’s Cube, Mirror Rubik’s Cube, Spherical Rubik’s Cube, etc., from low-end to high-end take-all.

At that time, the Rubik's Cube series of toys can support the company's long-term business. Toy companies can eat their old books for at least a few decades. It is difficult to close down. The strategic significance is extremely important!

After discovering a gold mine, Xia Yu would naturally not let him slip away in front of him. What's more, Xia Yu didn’t know who invented the Rubik’s Cube, nor did he know how far the Rubik’s Cube was developed. The best way is now Find a breakthrough from the little boy in front of him.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled gently and asked the little boy Patrick: "Boy, what is the name of the toy in your hand? It looks weird. I have never seen it before. Can you tell me where to buy it?"

"Sir, the Rubik cube in my hand was bought by my father from a toy store in Budapest, Hungary. It's fun and amazing, look!"

Seeing Xia Yu asking about the Rubik’s Cube, the little boy Patrick was shocked. He talked to Xia Yu with high spirits. There was a hint of pride between his eyebrows. He raised his hands when he said that the second-order Rubik’s Cube that had been disrupted was quickly in his hands. After twisting, all six sides became the same color in no time.

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. It seems that the little boy Patrick is very proficient in playing. Although it is only the simplest second-order Rubik's Cube, it can quickly recover the Rubik's Cube like a blind twist, which proves that the little boy's thinking and memory are good.

"It looks more complicated, ordinary people should not be able to play, you are very good, the Rubik's Cube is also very magical!"

Xia Yu praised with a smile.

Seeing Xia Yu praise Patrick, the foreign women who stood quietly watching him smiled.

"Hey!" The little boy Patrick scratched his head shyly, but the smile on his face represented that he was very happy.

"I plan to write a book to teach others how to quickly recover the Rubik's Cube." The little boy Patrick said shyly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Xia Yu showed a surprised expression at the right time, and then smiled encouragingly: "Come on, I believe you will succeed!"

"Thank you!" the little boy Patrick said gratefully and encouraged.

At this time, seeing someone in the hotel about to come out, and they were blocking the gate, Xia Yu and others hurriedly stepped aside.

When he got the information he wanted to know, Xia Yu didn’t need to waste time. He nodded to the little boy’s mother, and then said to the little boy: “Boy, we’re going to eat. Finally, I’m sure you can do it. Come on!"

With that, Xia Yu made a cheering gesture to the little boy.

"Thank you, I will definitely work hard!"

The little boy also clenched his fist and made a cheering gesture, and said firmly.

"Mr., my husband said that the Rubik cube was invented by Professor Erno Rubik at the Budapest School of Architecture. You can go there and have a look."

Seeing that Xia Yu was leaving, it seemed that she was grateful to Xia Yu for encouraging her son. She might have guessed that Xia Yu was interested in Rubik's Cube, so the little boy Patrick's mother suddenly spoke.

"Thank you!"

After learning more detailed information, Xia Yu was in a good mood and said gratefully to the little boy's mother, and then led everyone to the hotel.

"Patrick, mother believes in you too, you can definitely do it!"

The little boy's mother touched the little boy's head and said lovingly.

"Hmm! Mom, I will definitely work hard!"

The little boy nodded and said solemnly.

"Let's go, we should go home!"

Oh, the mother took the hand of her son and said, she was ready to leave.

Holding his mother's hand The little boy Patrick looked at Xia Yu's back, and then looked down at the Rubik's Cube that had been restored on six sides, a touch of firmness flashed in his eyes.

...

As he walked to the store, Li Qian whispered next to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, the little boy was so young, he thought of writing a book, it’s so amazing, do you think what you just said inspired him to write? Where's the book?"

Xia Yu smiled openly. How did he know if it was the effect of his words, so he smiled and said, "It should be that he has an idea. That little boy looks very smart."

In fact, Xia Yu really guessed right. The little boy named Patrick, whose full name is Patrick Possett, was the one who wrote a book called "You Can Recover the Rubik's Cube" in the original history. Nearly 1.5 million copies have been published, and because of the appearance of this book, the sales of Rubik's Cube in the UK have greatly increased, and its influence has also increased dramatically.

However, how can Xia Yu know such trivial matters, let alone remember them.

I ignored this episode. Soon, Xia Yu ordered the food, and a group of people relaxed in the box and chatted.
