The night is melting, the dark sky is dotted with stars, and the sound of waves sounds, which is a leisurely and beautiful seaside night scene.

At this time, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and in a big villa by the sea, Xia Yu's family had just finished dinner.

"Brother, come here, I have something to tell you. ”

Xia Ming whispered in Xia Yu's ear.

Seeing his brother's mysterious appearance, Xia Yu became interested, and when he came to the room with him, he saw his brother rummaging in the drawer.

Then, I saw him come out with a few Rubik's cubes in his hand.

"What, you're doing well in your Rubik's Cube technique, and you want to put on a show?"

Xia Yu joked.

After the Rubik's Cube was first made, Xia Yu took a box of exquisite Rubik's Cube home and gave it to his younger brothers and sisters to play with or give away.

For this kind of Rubik's cube that can not only entertain but also exercise his thinking, Xia Ming was immediately fascinated, and often competed with his classmates for speed.

For Xia Ming to play this, after Xia Yu's explanation, Xia's father and Xia's mother are also very supportive of their youngest son.

Xia Ming's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly explained: "It's not Brother La, it's that there is a problem with these Rubik's cubes, you can take a look." ”

"Questions?"

Xia Yu was puzzled, took the Rubik's Cube in Xia Ming's hand, and as soon as he started it, his eyebrows were raised.

It doesn't feel right, this Rubik's Cube is too rough!

Sensing that something was wrong, Xia Yu picked up these Rubik's cubes one by one and observed them carefully.

Xia Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked his younger brother, "Ah Ming, where did these Rubik's cubes come from?"

"We bought it from the class next door, I asked them, I bought it for 2 yuan a piece, I didn't feel right, so I bought it with them and brought it back to show you. ”

Xia Ming hurriedly said, very angry in his heart.

Although he is not very old, after all, he has a great brother, and under the influence of his ears and eyes on weekdays, he unconsciously has a trace of business thinking.

He knew that the Rubik's Cube was his brother's product, and there was an exclusive patent, and now such an inferior and cheap Rubik's Cube suddenly appeared on the market, it must be a fake, and it would infringe on his brother's interests, so he hurriedly told his brother Xia Yu.

"Brother, those who sell fakes are too hateful, you must clean them up!"

Xia Ming said angrily.

Xia Yu smiled, patted Xia Ming's shoulder, and said lightly: "Okay, I know, I will deal with this matter, you did a good job this time, but you are still young, so you put more emphasis on studying." ”

"Brother, the teacher said that my academic performance is now in the top three in the class, and I have worked hard!"

Xia Ming hurriedly explained, for fear of being misunderstood by his brother.

Xia Yu smiled: "Don't be proud, when to stay the first in the next grade is the real ability." ”

"Oh, okay!"

Xia Ming's face was bitter, but he still answered honestly.

After that, Xia Yu took a few Rubik's cubes and left Xia Ming's room.

......

The next day, the chairman's office of Jiuding Building.

Xia Yu sat quietly, and across from him was Ma Tengdong, who had just sat down.

"How's the sales of the Rubik's Cube going?"

Xia Yu asked casually.

Ma Tengdong thought for a while and replied: "As of last week, a total of 420,000 Rubik's cubes have been shipped out of the factory, which are sold to Southeast Asia and island countries through channels, with the cost price of ordinary Rubik's cubes being less than 0.2 Hong Kong dollars, the ex-factory price of 3.5 Hong Kong dollars, and the unified retail price of 5 Hong Kong dollars. ”

Xia Yu bowed slightly, and was not disappointed by such a low revenue.

Although the revenue is only 1.54 million, the net profit is definitely more than one million, although outsiders will definitely scold the black heart if they know it.

But isn't business like this, there are many people who make IQ money in later generations, costing dozens of yuan and selling tens of thousands.

So far, 420,000 units have been sold, and only a small part of the market has been developed, and if millions or even tens of millions of units are sold, and the price is even higher when they are sold abroad, then the profit will be terrifying.

And the Rubik's Cube is still a long-lasting toy, of course Xia Yu will not despise it.

"The Rubik's Cube has developed freely to this extent, and it's time to start the marketing strategy, but before that, there are some troubles to be solved, so as not to make a wedding dress for others. ”

"Trouble?"

"Look at these few. ”

When Ma Tengdong was puzzled, Xia Yu opened the drawer, took out the inferior Rubik's Cube that his brother gave him last night, and pushed it in front of Ma Tengdong.

Ma Tengdong was a little puzzled, but after picking up the Rubik's Cube and looking at it, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly explained: "Boss, this is definitely not the Rubik's Cube we produce, I dare to guarantee." ”

"I know. ”

Xia Yu said lightly: "This is what my younger brother's school brought over, and the price outside is 2 Hong Kong dollars." ”

Ma Tengdong's face changed rapidly, he was both angry and ashamed, and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Boss, I'm sorry, I was careless, I failed to live up to your expectations, and I didn't notice these situations." ”

"Well, it's happened, and the most important thing now is to find a way to fix it. ”

Xia Yu gently lifted it and did not reprimand Ma Tengdong.

Of course, Xia Yu also knows that Ma Tengdong is no wonder about this, after all, although the sales of the Rubik's Cube are amazing, the value created is only more than one million, and the value created by the entire Jiuding Animation Company is more, and it is normal for him to focus more on comics, animation and Manke's home.

"Boss, don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate as soon as I go back, and I'll find a way to seal them all down when I get back to those pirated factories." ”

Ma Tengdong gritted his teeth and promised, a trace of evil appeared in his eyes, bullying him, and making him lose points in front of the boss, how could he swallow this breath.

Xia Yu didn't agree immediately, but pondered for a moment, and told Ma Tengdong: "Now I will do piracy factories, there are few clean foundations, you find out which ones they are, just tell me, I will let people do it, you focus on the main thing." ”

When Ma Tengdong heard this, although he was a little unwilling, he also agreed with the boss's statement, so he could only nod and say, "Okay!"

"Go ahead!"

Sending Ma Tengdong away, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth hooked up a touch of arc, and muttered: "The cottage is on my head, hehe, I see whose dog is so bold, whether it is killing chickens, I can make money in marketing with peace of mind." ”

......

Kowloon Walled City, located in the north of Mong Kok, Kowloon, south of the New Territories, and north of Kai Tak Airport, belongs to the three-regardless zone.

At that time, when the treaty was signed, it was stated that this piece of land in Xiangjiang still belonged to China, but the mainland government did not want to go deep into this place to disturb or be regarded as a provocation, and gradually became a den of anarchic thieves. Many people who broke the law in Xiangjiang fled here, and then settled down, and because there was no way to manage here, naturally there were constant chaos of selling laundry detergent, smuggling, murder, and robbery.

At seven o'clock in the evening, in an ordinary house in the east of the Kowloon Walled City, Liao Pengliang was happily telling his brother Liao Pengfei about the income of the factory.

"Brother, this money is so easy to make, so far, the factory has earned a total of 200,000 yuan. ”

Although Liao Pengfei had seen more money, he was still shocked by this number.

"Why are there so many? This little gadget is so profitable?"

Liao Pengfei played with the Rubik's Cube in his hand, his eyes full of surprise.

He is one of the bigwigs of the LTTE, and his brothers also have nearly 200 brothers, collecting protection money every month, selling laundry detergent and doing dirty work, and he also earns more than one million yuan a month.

But since the rise of his sworn enemy Xia Lei, in order to fight Xia Lei, he has to spend more money to entrap his subordinates, so that he has not much money left every month, and his life is not very nourishing.

As soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, he couldn't help himself, Liao Pengfei used to yearn for this kind of life and took the initiative to join the club, but when he came in, he knew the hardships of life, and he put his head around his waist every day to live.

Therefore, he resolutely forbade his only brother Liao Pengliang to join the club.

Fortunately, although his younger brother Liao Pengliang has not read any books, he likes petty theft since he was a child, but he still has a bit of a business mind, and more than a month ago he said what he wanted to do to make a Rubik's cube and borrowed money from his eldest brother to open a factory.

At that time, Liao Pengfei didn't care too much, and directly gave his younger brother 100,000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a month, and the factory has earned 200,000 yuan!

This was completely unexpected by Liao Pengfei!
