Chapter 291： Profiteering industry

When he came outside the factory, Xia Yu did not go in, but first walked to the window to observe quietly.

Ma Tengdong did not disturb, and stood quietly behind Xia Yu.

After two minutes, Xia Yu smiled and commented: "Yes! Let's go in and have a look!"

"Boss, please follow me!"

After Ma Tengdong finished speaking, he took Xia Yu into the factory. After a while, the person in charge of the toy factory also came out. He respectfully greeted Xia Yu and Ma Tengdong, and then led Xia Yu and others to the assembly line.

The arrival of Xia Yu and his party naturally attracted the attention of surrounding employees.

The boss, the general manager of the company, and the person in charge of the toy factory all came. Almost all the workers have become more energetic and work more seriously.

Along the way, look here and there, Xia Yu also saw many familiar faces, it was his relatives and neighbors.

Only know that Xia Yu's identity is different, and that Ma Tengdong and the person in charge of the toy factory are also there. So although they were very excited after seeing Xia Yu, they didn't dare to say hello and could only smile, Xia Yu almost nodded.

He even stopped to say a few words even occasionally when he met relatives who had a good relationship with his family before.

Suddenly, Xia Yu walked to the place where the final product was produced. He picked up a yellow Pikachu plush toy and observed it.

After observing, he picked up several other plush toys at random to observe and pull.

After a while, Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and said: "The workmanship is fine, there is no shoddy work."

"Boss, I uphold your requirements, put quality first, and to remind the staff, I also let people hang a sign on the wall, you see, it is there!"

Ma Tengdong explained with a smile, and then pointed his finger in one direction.

Xia Yu followed him and looked at it. As expected, a row of slogans were hung on the wall with eight characters "Keep improving, quality first".

"It is to have such strict requirements to make the enterprise bigger and stronger!"

Xia Yu commented that Ma Tengdong and the head of the toy factory nodded repeatedly.

"I think this piece is made of plush toys. Is the production of other peripheral products separated?"

I looked around and found that it was the production process of plush toys. I didn't see other peripheral products such as stickers, posters, plastic toys, peripheral stationery, etc. Xia Yu looked at Ma Tengdong and asked.

"Yes, they are all separated, because the dust in the plush toy production workshop is relatively large, and some products with high air quality requirements cannot be produced. Moreover, in order to facilitate management and production, peripheral products are placed in different categories according to different types. Workshop."

Ma Tengdong glanced at the head of the toy factory, who immediately explained.

"You lead the way."

Then, Xia Yu went to see the production situation of other and peripheral products, and walked around. Xia Yu was relieved about the production of the products.

The slogan hung on the wall was indeed not a formalism, but was implemented in the production process and did not disappoint him.

"Where is the warehouse?"

After checking the production line, Xia Yu asked again.

"The warehouse is in the innermost part of the factory, boss, please follow me!"

The person in charge of the toy factory finished speaking, and took Xia Yu and others to the warehouse.

Seeing the neatly stacked peripheral products, Xia Yu made an estimate based on the size of the store. It is definitely more than enough to fill ten flagship stores, and now the toy factory is still in production, so out of stock situation is impossible. What worries about is whether it can be sold and whether there will be a backlog of goods.

"Tengdong, when the surrounding flagship stores are opened, you can engage in some activities, such as a series of activities such as buying comics, prize-winning knowledge contests, etc., which can not only promote the reputation of the store, but also mature the peripheral product market and increase sales. The most important thing is to increase the reader's sense of belonging to our "Military Friend Manke" and the surrounding flagship stores. The benefits are enormous!"

"While it hasn't opened yet, there is still a certain amount of time, you make a detailed plan, as brilliant as possible, and show it to me when you are done."

Xia Yu expressed his feelings.

Ma Tengdong nodded solemnly and replied: "Good boss, I took it down!"

"By the way, the workshop where Rubik's Cube is produced and researched is also here. Would you like to take a look?"

As he walked out of the warehouse, Ma Tengdong reminded.

Xia Yu raised his brows slightly, and said with interest, "Take me to see."

The Rubik's Cube is a gold mine. The sooner it is created, the faster it will make money. It is Xia Yu who will benefit, and he must take care of it.

While walking, Ma Tengdong gave a brief introduction so that Xia Yu had a rough impression of the progress of the Rubik's Cube.

"Boss, after you sent the drawings back, I immediately sent someone to register the patent according to your request. I asked someone to help. Now the patent certificates of Xiangjiang and Longmen have been issued."

"As for other international patents, I have also entrusted professional patent registration companies, and send people to follow the progress at any time, and strive to get them done as quickly as possible!"

"Well, good work! We must have this awareness in the future, especially if we are engaged in comics now, the importance of intellectual property must be the first. Have all kinds of comics patents been applied for?"

Xia Yu was satisfied with Ma Tengdong's attitude, and then asked.

"Applicants from Hong Kong and Macau have all been filed, and island countries, Taiwan Province, and Southeast Asia are also fast. As for other countries in the world, I have also sent a dedicated team to apply for patents. Because they are intellectual property patents, the definition process is simpler. Before the surrounding flagship stores open, they can definitely be done!"

Ma Tengdong explained in detail.

"That's good!"

"You go on!"

Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"For the manufacture and research of Rubik's Cube, I also went to various universities in Hong Kong according to your instructions, and asked professors or teachers of architecture and engineering majors to do subject research. At your prompt, the third-order Rubik's Cube was also developed. Three days ago Just made a sample."

"Now the third-order Rubik's Cube is inside."

As Ma Tengdong was talking, a group of people had already reached the door of the Rubik's Cube production and research workshop. Ma Tengdong opened the door and brought in Xia Yu and others.

"Boss, this is Professor Liu Fang Liu, a professor at the School of Architecture and Engineering of Hong Kong University, and is now responsible for a series of research on Rubik's Cube."

"Professor Liu, this is my boss, his surname is Xia!"

After entering, Ma Tengdong pointed to an old man wearing glasses and introduced Xia Yu.

Xia Yu glanced at the familiar third-order Rubik's Cube on the table. He returned his attention to the old man, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Professor Liu, hello, this is Xia Yu."

"Xia Sheng, I know you, it's nice to meet you!"

Liu Fang showed a calm smile and shook hands with Xia Yu. Although his posture was a bit old-fashioned, Xia Yu didn't care. If the university professor seemed too sophisticated, he would doubt his professional ability!

Like Liu Fang now, at least he is more assured, it is the temperament that a scholar should have.

"This is a third-order Rubik's cube? Is it a finished product?"

Xia Yu picked up the Rubik's Cube on the table and asked knowingly.

"Yes!"

Liu Fang simply said, and when he wanted to go on, he saw Xia Yu skillfully twist the third-order Rubik's Cube. In less than a minute, the upset Rubik's Cube was restored to the same color on all sides.

Liu Fang lifted his eyes, looked at Xia Yu somewhat unexpectedly, and sighed: "Xia Sheng, it seems that your logical thinking is very strong. You can restore it in such a short time."

"Yes, boss, you are too good. It took me half an hour to recover the Rubik's Cube."

Ma Tengdong also looked shocked, thinking of his previous process of twisting the Rubik's Cube, he knew the difficulty of this, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha!"

Xia Yu smiled, but didn't explain. Could he still say that it took a minute or was it because he was strange?

"Can it be put into mass production now? If mass production, how much can the cost be controlled?"

Xia Yu put down the Rubik's Cube and asked.

"I have already made the assembly line production plan. The material can be ordinary plastic. For other costs, I have to ask Manager Ma."

Upon hearing this question, Liu Fang finished what he knew, and then subconsciously looked at Ma Tengdong. He is a scholar. He really doesn't understand this kind of cost. He just needs to be responsible for the research.

Ma Tengdong immediately said: "Boss, mass production, the cost of a single Rubik's Cube can be reduced to 0.2 Hong Kong dollars each."

When Xia Yu heard this, his brows frowned first, and then stretched out and said: "The cost is fine, but it can only be regarded as low-end."

"Use other materials to make mid-to-high-end Rubik's Cube. Although the mid-to-high-end market is not as broad as the low-end market, a mature market is indispensable."

"Professor Liu, you have to work hard to select suitable materials to make mid-to-high-end products."

Xia Yu said to Liu Fang.

"No problem, it can be done in a few days with a different material."

Liu Fang replied without any hesitation.

"By the way, Professor Liu, the third-order Rubik's Cube has been researched, but the fourth- and fifth-order Rubik's Cubes and the following series of Rubik's Cubes have not been researched yet. I have to ask you!

Xia Yu thought of the mid-to-high-end Rubik's Cube and the advanced version of Rubik's Cube, said his stomach to Liu Fang.

"Happy to help!"

Liu Fang said with a smile.

He will agree to Ma Tengdong's invitation to do research, and he is also very interested in Rubik's Cube. He is full of exploratory and exploratory desire for Rubik's Cube, which is full of architectural wisdom. The greatest joy of scholars is to do research that interests him.

Now even if Xia Yu refuses to let him do it, he will take the initiative to study it, let alone now accept a high-paying employment, why is he unwilling?

Then, Xia Yu stayed in the toy factory for a while, encouraged the person in charge of the toy factory, and left with Ma Tengdong.

In the car returning, Xia Yu said to Ma Tengdong beside him: "Tengdong, how much do you think the price of the low-end Rubik's cube is appropriate?"

"Boss, our cost is 0.2 Hong Kong dollars each. I think the wholesale price can be set at 0.8 Hong Kong dollars and the retail price at 1.5 Hong Kong dollars is appropriate."

Ma Tengdong thought for a while and said, 3 times the gross profit is enough in his opinion.

Hearing Ma Tengdong's words, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, knowing that Ma Tengdong hadn't realized the importance of Rubik's Cube.

Not enough, this is understandable, after all, Ma Tengdong is not like him, knowing the popularity of Rubik's Cube in later generations.

He also no longer sells the key, and said: "I think 5 Hong Kong dollars is appropriate. As long as the marketing is done well, under the name of educational toys, this price must be sold."

Without waiting for Ma Tengdong to speak, Xia Yu explained in detail.

"The Rubik's Cube can be sold together in the surrounding flagship stores in advance, and the Rubik's Cube can be inserted into the plot of the comics. There is only one purpose, and that is to let readers and customers form an idea in their minds~ www.novelhall.com~ Playing Rubik's Cube can be active The brain, the Rubik's Cube is an educational toy, so it will definitely succeed!"

Ma Tengdong stared, his eyes were full of shock, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, and said happily: "Boss rest assured, I know what to do!"

Regarding the educational psychology of parents to their children, as long as they form the idea that Rubik's Cube is beneficial to their children's intellectual growth, let alone 5 Hong Kong dollars, even 50 Hong Kong dollars can still buy it!

But even if it is 5 Hong Kong dollars, compared to the cost of 0.2 Hong Kong dollars, it is 25 times the profit, which is definitely a huge profit.

Of course, the premise is that the Rubik's Cube can be sold!

Before Xia Yu came up with the marketing plan, Ma Tengdong might not be confident, but now that he has his boss as a beacon, Ma Tengdong deliberately patted his chest and said, 5 Hong Kong dollars a piece, definitely sold!

"It seems that the Rubik's Cube will be a huge source of wealth, I have to think about it!"

Ma Tengdong reminded himself secretly. The most powerful hero of rebirth
