After walking around Southampton for a while, they found a Chinese-owned restaurant, and Xia Yu and others walked towards the door of the hotel.

When he first arrived at the door, suddenly a little boy ran out of the hotel, and his mother told him not to run, but unfortunately it was useless, the little boy didn't notice that there was someone at the door, and directly hit Xia Yu's body, letting out an exclamation, fortunately, Xia Yu was quick and grabbed him in time, so he didn't fall to the ground.

"I'm sorry, sir!"

After the little boy bumped into Xia Yu, his mother hurriedly ran over and apologized to Xia Yu.

"Patrick, apologize!"

Then the blond woman said to the little boy with some reproach.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for running too fast and not looking at the road, I ask for your forgiveness!"

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

"It's okay, pay attention next time, safety is the most important thing!"

How could Xia Yu have a problem with a little boy, what child didn't bump into anyone when he was a child? Not to mention that this little boy seemed to be very polite and apologized to him, so he shouldn't be blamed.

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

"I won't run around next time, I promise!"

"Oh no, there's no next time. ”

The little boy Patrick immediately nodded in reassurance, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately changed his words, making his mother next to him smile.

"Thank you!"

Then, the mother of the little boy Patrick thanked Xia Yu.

"It's yours, take it, don't drop it!"

At this time, Yan Shining picked up something from the ground and handed it to Xia Yu, who remembered that it fell from the little boy's hand when he bumped into him just now.

Seeing the little boy's pitiful eyes, Xia Yu smiled and handed him the things in his hand, the little boy immediately smiled and said politely: "Thank you!"

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

If you look closely, the six sides and six colors are actually 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 seems that the Rubik's Cube has just come out, and even the third-order Rubik's Cube has not yet been invented, and it is still in the primitive second-order Rubik's Cube stage.

Thinking of the Rubik's Cube, which is popular all over the world and has sales of more than 100 million at every turn, Xia Yu's heart is hot.

It's a gold mine with only a small opening, and it doesn't 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 Dinghaishen Needle, a Rubik's Cube toy is a series, which can be developed all the time, from the second order to the third order and the fourth order, and even the thirteenth order behind, you can also study and launch variant Rubik's Cube, mirror Rubik's Cube, spherical Rubik's Cube, etc., from low-end to high-end.

At that time, the Rubik's Cube series of toys can support the company's long-term operation, and the toy company can gnaw on the old book for at least a few decades, and it is difficult to go bankrupt, which is of great strategic significance!

After discovering the gold mine, Xia Yu naturally would not let it slip away in front of him, not to mention that Xia Yu did not understand who invented the Rubik's Cube, nor did he know how far the Rubik's Cube had developed now, and the best way now is to find a breakthrough from the little boy in front of him.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu showed a gentle smile and asked the little boy Patrick, "Boy, what is the name of the toy in your hand?" It looks strange, I've never seen it, can you tell me where to buy it?"

"Sir, the rubic cube in my hand was bought for me by my dad from the toy store in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, and it's fun, it's amazing, you see!"

Seeing Xia Yu ask the Rubik's Cube, the little boy Patrick's spirit was shocked, and he said to Xia Yu in a high-spirited manner, with a touch of pride between his eyebrows, and his hands were raised, and the second-order Rubik's Cube that had been disrupted twisted quickly in his hand, and after a while, all six sides became the same color.

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, but it can be a bit similar to blind twisting to make the Rubik's Cube quickly recover, which proves that this little boy has good thinking and memory.

"It looks complicated, ordinary people shouldn't be able to play, you are very powerful, and the Rubik's Cube is also amazing!"

Xia Yu praised with a smile.

Seeing Xia Yu praising Patrick, the foreign woman who stood quietly and watched showed a smile.

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

"I'm going to write a book that teaches people how to quickly restore a Rubik's Cube. The little boy Patrick said a little shyly, a hint of longing flashing 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!" said the little boy Patrick, encouraged, gratefully.

At this time, seeing that someone in the hotel was about to come out, and they were blocking at the gate, Xia Yu and others hurriedly got out of the way.

After getting the information he wanted to know, Xia Yu didn't need to waste time, he nodded at the little boy's mother, and then said to the little boy: "Boy, we are going to eat, finally, I believe you will be able to!"

As he spoke, Xia Yu made a cheering gesture to the little boy.

"Thank you, I will definitely try!"

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

"Sir, I heard from my husband that the Rubik cube was invented by Professor Erno Rubik of the Budapest School of Architecture, and you can go there and see it. ”

Seeing that Xia Yu was leaving, it seemed that she was thanking Xia Yu for her son's encouragement, and she might have guessed that Xia Yu was interested in the Rubik's Cube, so the mother of the little boy Patrick 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, Mommy believes in you, you can!"

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

"Mom, I'll definitely try!"

The little boy nodded and said solemnly.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go home!"

The mother took her son's hand and said, 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 in his hand that had been restored on six sides, and a touch of firmness flashed in his eyes.

......

When walking to the store, Li Qian whispered next to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, that little boy is still so young, he thought of writing a book, it's so amazing, do you think it was your words just now that inspired him to write a book?"

Xia Yu smiled, how did he know if this was the effect of his words, so he smiled: "It should be that he has his own ideas, that little boy looks very smart." ”

In fact, Xia Yu really guessed correctly, the little boy named Patrick, his full name is Patrick Posette, in the original history, it was he who wrote a book called "You Can Also Restore the Rubik's Cube", which sold nearly 1.5 million copies in total, and because of the appearance of this book, the sales of the Rubik's Cube in the UK have increased significantly, and its influence has also increased dramatically.

But this kind of trivial matter, where can Xia Yu know, let alone remember.

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