Chapter 319： Heavy news

? "By the way, boss, I have one thing to report to you!"

Suddenly thinking of something, Ma Tengdong said with a look of embarrassment.

Xia Yu raised his brows and said, "Let's talk, what's the matter."

"It's about Rubik's Cube. According to your request, I put Rubik's Cube for sale in our flagship store. The situation is not so good."

Xia Yu didn't take it seriously, but rather curiously chuckled and asked, "How many sales are there?"

"In three days, a total of 365 low-end Rubik's Cubes were sold, 34 mid-range Rubik's Cubes were sold, and only 15 high-end Rubik's Cubes were sold."

Ma Tengdong said awkwardly, this data made his face hot.

High, middle and low third gears add up to only 414. You know, this is the total sales of ten stores in three days. On average, each store sells 14 Rubik's Cubes every day. This is the sales only when opening. , It is conceivable that sales may decline afterwards.

But he also knows that Rubik's Cube is a toy that the boss has high hopes for. Now he is still applying for patents all over the world, and he has set up a research laboratory to research and develop.

But the current sales make his face dull! There is a sense of shame to see him.

Seeing Ma Tengdong's guilt, Xia Yu laughed and said, "I can't imagine that we can sell more than 400 now, which is not bad. You don't need to blame yourself. This is expected."

Without any advertising and publicity, Rubik's Cube can be sold.

As Xia Yu’s most important toy, how could Rubik's Cube let it go?

As for the marketing plan of Rubik's Cube, he had a clear idea for a long time.

The first key issue is that the Rubik's Cube has not yet been applied for worldwide patents. Although the speed has been accelerated, it will still take some time.

If he sells the Rubik's Cube and makes the big players in the toy industry catch his attention, it is very likely that he wants to stumble him and preempt the patent.

Secondly, a very important marketing tool needs the help of a TV station, but now Li's TV station is not yet exposed, so Xia Yu can only wrong the Rubik's Cube for a while.

Now let the Rubik's Cube slowly be sold out, like a spark of fire, spread all over the place, and let it ferment. At that time, as long as one shareholder winds up, it can instantly form a prairie fire.

Let it gain momentum now!

And it's not that Xia Yu is really indifferent to the Rubik's Cube, he still has a way to speed up the Rubik's Cube's accumulation process, and it definitely works.

Don't forget that he now has a nearby flagship store, and the Rubik's Cube is sold in nearby flagship stores.

"Tengdong, you insert the Rubik's Cube into the "Dragon Ball" comic."

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Ma Tengdong's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good method, but the question is how to insert it?

Ma Tengdong showed an inquiring expression and said, "Boss, how do you think it is appropriate to insert? I can't think of it temporarily.

"I watched the progress of the serialization now. Didn't Monkey King have not climbed the Kalin Tower to the temple? According to the previous plot, Monkey King wants to practice in the temple, mainly to improve his combat power. You can let someone insert a plot."

"God took out a Wisdom Rubik's Cube from the Wisdom Planet to train Monkey King’s wisdom and mental power. How to conceive the training plot specifically, you arrange for the people below to do it. Anyway, I just ask that playing Rubik’s Cube can exercise the human brain. , It is helpful to the development of people’s intelligence, and allows readers to form an idea that the Rubik’s Cube is an educational toy!"

After listening to Xia Yu's account, Ma Tengdong was already dumbfounded. Can he do this?

Ma Tengdong's performance made Xia Yu happy, and it's not in vain that he bothered to think about a good idea.

"What do you think of this idea?"

Xia Yu said with a smile, awakening Ma Tengdong.

Ma Tengdong showed admiration and said with emotion: "Boss, your idea is great. I believe that as long as you insert this kind of plot, when the comics come out, it will definitely cause the Rubik's Cube sales boom."

Ma Tengdong is not flattering, but this is his heartfelt truth.

As long as you give readers such a concept, and then learn that there is a Rubik's Cube in the House of Manke, out of curiosity, many readers will buy it for fun.

And as soon as the concept of educational toys comes out, those children can confidently ask their parents to buy them the Rubik's Cube. Whether they really want to try it or not to discourage their children’s aggressiveness, parents cannot refuse this kind of request. , How about spending five dollars to try?

What if it really works?

Therefore, even if it has not been implemented yet, Ma Tengdongguang can determine that the sale of Rubik's Cube will definitely be opened based on common sense.

And he will not feel guilty, because the Rubik's Cube is indeed an educational toy, which is good for the child's physical and mental development.

This is confirmed after discussion by experts and professors. It can exercise at least seven human abilities, such as eyesight, endurance, hand power, memory, spatial judgment, attention and nerve response speed.

In addition, it also allows the person who plays Rubik's Cube to constantly challenge himself and unknowingly affect his character and will.

The outsiders don’t know this now, but Xia Yu has already planned to invite those experts and professors to the TV station to express authoritative opinions, and write a few authoritative articles and publish them in the newspaper. The sales of Rubik’s Cube will never be used. worry.

No, at that time Xia Yu would only worry about the production capacity of the toy factory not keeping up!

"You should arrange it as soon as possible, the plot should be reasonable, and arouse readers' curiosity as much as possible, understand?

Xia Yu exhorted again.

"understand!"

Ma Tengdong nodded heavily.

...

After returning to the general office, Yan Wenhan came to Xia Yu happily.

"Boss, good thing!"

Yan Wenhan said happily, the smile on his face couldn't hide.

Xia Yu suddenly became curious, and asked Yan Wenhan to sit down and say, "Sit down and speak slowly."

"thank you boss!"

"Boss, it's Sing Tao News Group's business. I got news that Sing Tao News Group can't stand the pressure. Hu Xian wants to sell the company."

Yan Wenhan directly uttered a heavy news, which caused waves of Xia Yu's calm heart.

Xia Yu's eyes became deep looking straight at Yan Wenhan and asked: "Is the situation so serious?"

After the sales fraud was exposed, Sing Tao News Group was pushed to the forefront. Then, driven by the people, the Hong Kong government could only come forward to stop Sing Tao News Group for rectification.

After that, Xia Yu ignored it, because Sing Tao News Group had no threats, so why waste his mind?

It’s just that Hu Xian, who has always been strong, would actually sell the company, which proves that the situation of Sing Tao News Group is worse than it appears.

It stands to reason that Sing Tao News Group has a big business, and the foundation and contacts accumulated over decades must still be there, and it is impossible to get to this point.

unless……

Someone was thinking about it and forced Hu Xian to go to nowhere. The two powers were harmed, whichever was less, and made the decision to sell the company.

So who will it be? I don't know if Yan Wenhan knows.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan.
