Chapter 92： toy company one

Bao Zixuan, who had been in retreat for a day in the office, finally thought of the priority development direction of Heiyun Group in the next step.

Black Cloud Toys currently only has one major product - Transformers, although it has set off a storm of Autobots all over the world. However, it is impossible for all children to like a toy, and toy products must be innovated and upgraded in a timely manner.

Nowadays, comic companies generate a lot of copyrights every day, and Heiyun Toys can make good use of the benefits brought by these copyrights. However, Bao Zixuan has no idea of ​​producing plush toys by himself. After all, this is not a good match for technology companies.

Many plush toys are produced by other factories. Bao Zixuan never thought of setting up a toy factory in Xiangjiang. The price of land and labor is not very cost-effective, and we can only wait two years to go to the mainland to build a factory.

Bao Zixuan has already thought about his next plan, which is to go to Europe to find two toys that have not yet been valued, and get their authorization, no matter how much it costs.

Hungary is still a Warsaw Pact country, and it would have been difficult to come here as the Heiyun Group Xiangjiang Company. However, with the continuous deepening of the business between the Black Cloud Group and the entire Warsaw Pact, it has also expanded its business here.

Bao Zixuan took his bodyguard and Yamashita Hengyi by plane to the Budapest School of Architecture in Hungary. He originally wanted Yamashita Hengyi to lead the team. After all, this is just a small project. But thinking that now he is just a young man who has graduated from college less than a year ago, and he was promoted by himself, so he must take him for a ride; as for the future, it depends on his own strength and hard work.

Yamashita Hengyi was very excited. After all, he was on a business trip with the president. Very excited along the way. Seeing this, Bao Zixuan thought to himself that he was still a young man.

Bao Zixuan has only arranged for one week this time. After all, it is Li Yulin's birthday at the end of this month. He has never given his mother a good birthday. He must make up for it this time, so the time is very tight.

In a cafe in Budapest, Bao Zixuan met the person he was going to meet this time, Professor Erno Rubik of the Budapest School of Architecture.

Erno Rubik, born on July 13, 1944, is a Hungarian inventor, sculptor and professor of architecture. He is known to the world for his invention of the mechanical educational toy, the Rubik's Cube, in 1974. Soon, the magic convenience swept the world, and there were many derivative versions, and he was also known as the "father of the magic cube". In addition, Rubik 360, magic board, magic watch, magic ruler and other interesting intellectual toys are also made by him.

The Rubik's Cube, also known as Rubik's Cube, is called Magic Cube in Taiwan and Twisted Dice in Hong Kong. Rubik's cube racing is an extreme hand sport.

The purpose of Bao Zixuan's trip is to come here for the Rubik's Cube. The Rubik's Cube in the usual sense refers to the third-order Rubik's Cube in the narrow sense. The third-order Rubik's cube shape is usually a cube, made of resilient hard plastic. The regular racing game is to scramble the cube and restore it in the shortest possible time.

Bao Zixuan wanted to produce this magical toy for training his intelligence. While he was looking at the father of the Rubik's Cube, Erno Rubik was also looking at her.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said to Erno Rubik: "Hello, Professor Rubik. I'm Bao Zixuan from Xiangjiang. I'm interested in a patent you have, and I hope I can pay for it. spread around the world.”

After hearing the name of Bao Zixuan, Erno-Rubic suddenly thought of something and said, "You are Bao Zixuan from MIT, who proposed the theory of Industry 4.0."

In fact, what Bao Zixuan didn't know was that in front of the world, he is now a model of successful entrepreneurial success. However, in the academic circle, his Industry 4.0 theory can attract more attention of scholars. Many universities in Europe and America have discussed his theory, and many universities have defined Industry 4.0 as a subject direction.

Bao Zixuan: "Yes, I didn't expect Professor Rubik to know me. It's my honor."

Professor Rubik: "I think you came for Rubik's cube. To be honest, it's just a small toy. Why are many companies optimistic about him!"

Bao Zixuan: "You are an artist, and you don't know much about business. I will give your Rubik's cube a nice name - Rubik's Cube. This Rubik's Cube will become an ideal toy for children to develop their intelligence and greatly improve children's intelligence. Interested in mathematics and spatial stereology."

Professor Rubik: "The Rubik's Cube is a very suitable name; a company in Budapest has already paid 10 million forints, and I did not agree. I think the price is too low."

10 million forint is about 100,000 US dollars, Bao Zixuan knows it. But he also regrets it a bit at the same time. Let me tell you what the Rubik's Cube does. If the cooperation is unsuccessful, am I not helping the opponent with ideas!

Bao Zixuan: "The price is negotiable. After all, I want to cooperate with you for a long time. You must know that the Hungarian company does not have the ability to bring the Rubik's Cube to the world. The Black Cloud Group has this condition."

Professor Rubik: "How much are you willing to pay and how to continue the long-term cooperation?"

Bao Zixuan: "I don't like to be entangled in negotiating prices. I will only make one quotation. If I can, I will sign the contract. If not, I will leave. At the same time, I will entrust you to design a piece of work."

"Heiyun Group's infrastructure project has been designed this year. I promise you the right to design a building in Xiangjiang. The time limit is 6 years, if I lose my trust. I'm paying you $200,000 in compensation."

"At the same time, I hope that you should research and develop more Rubik's cubes. And you can develop other things that you are interested in."

Hearing $600,000, Professor Rubik was a little stupid. After all, he had only given him 3 million forints at most. He said that 10 million was just trying to raise the price.

After all, he is an architecture professor, and he was very moved when he heard that he could dominate the design rights of a building. If it is well designed, it can be remembered in history.

Professor Rubik: "It's really $600,000, you're not kidding."

The overall income level in Hungary is not very high, UU reading www.uukanshu. com Even a college professor earns half the income of the average American worker.

Bao Zixuan: "It's not $600,000, it's $1 million. I will also commission you to design a building, and the design fee is $400,000. If I don't entrust you with the design, I will compensate you $200,000. You will pay no matter what. To $800,000. As for your other inventions in the future, I will decide his price according to the performance of the product in the market."

Rubik has talked to many people about the authorization of the Rubik's Cube, but none of them are as happy as Bao Zixuan. In the past, all the Hungarian companies who came to negotiate with them had little strength. Even if they had strength, it was difficult to sell the Rubik’s Cube to the world. Heiyun was because of the trade with the Soviet Union, which opened up the markets and contacts of many Warsaw Pact countries. Only then can I meet Professor Rubik directly.

Professor Rubik: "At the price you said, the Rubik's cube is yours."

At this time, the lawyer who had been waiting in the cafe drew up the contract according to what the two of them agreed.

When Bao Zixuan came to Hungary, he found a lawyer familiar with patent law through Larry Brown.

After signing the contract, Bao Zixuan went to the Hungarian National Savings Bank and remitted $600,000 to Professor Rubik's account.

With the contract, Bao Zixuan asked Larry Brown to assign a lawyer to apply for a patent for the Rubik's Cube all over the world. In his previous life, Professor Rubik only applied for a Hungarian domestic patent, and he did not get any actual benefits. Now he has come to the Black Cloud Group. In hands, this situation is unlikely to happen again. In the future, no one except Heiyun Toys will be allowed to produce Rubik's Cubes. If they want to produce, they have to pay royalties.

After explaining Professor Rubik's next research and development direction, Bao Zixuan is going to the next country in Europe.
