Chapter 319: Blockbuster News
"By the way, boss, I have something to report to you!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Ma Tengdong said with a somewhat embarrassed face.
Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Say, what's the matter." ”
"It's about the Rubik's Cube, and at your request, I put the Rubik's Cube on sale in our flagship store, and it's not going well. ”
Xia Yu didn't care, but chuckled a little curiously and asked, "Tell me how many sales are there?"
"In three days, a total of 365 low-grade 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 embarrassedly, this data made his face hot.
The three gears of high, medium and low add up to only 414, you must know that this is the total sales of ten stores in three days, on average, each store sells 14 Rubik's cubes every day, which is still the sales of the opening, it is conceivable that the sales volume may decline later.
However, he also knows that the Rubik's Cube is a toy that the boss has high hopes for, and now he is still applying for patents all over the world, and he has also set up a research laboratory to research and develop.
But the current sales volume has made him lose his face! There is a feeling of shamelessness to see him.
Seeing Ma Tengdong's guilty look, Xia Yu smiled and said, "I can't imagine that I can sell more than 400 now, which is not bad, you don't have to blame yourself, this is expected." ”
Without any advertising or publicity, the Rubik's Cube is good to be able to sell.
As Xia Yu's most important toy, how could the Rubik's Cube be left alone?
For the marketing plan of the Rubik's Cube, he has long had a clear idea, and it can only be said that it is not yet the time to exert force.
First of all, a key problem is that the Rubik's Cube has not yet been applied for patents all over the world, and although it has been accelerated, it will still take some time.
If he sells the Rubik's Cube on fire, it is very likely that those bigwigs in the toy industry will target him, and want to stumble on him and preemptively register patents.
Secondly, a very important marketing method needs to use the TV station, but now Li's TV station is not yet exposed, so Xia Yu can only grieve the Rubik's Cube for a while.
Just let the Rubik's Cube sell it slowly, sprinkle it everywhere like a spark, let it ferment, and when the time comes, as long as there is an east wind, it can form a prairie fire in an instant.
Let it gather momentum now!
And it's not that Xia Yu is really indifferent to the Rubik's Cube and let it go, he still has a means to speed up the Rubik's Cube accumulation process, and it definitely works.
Don't forget that he now has a peripheral flagship store, and the Rubik's Cube is sold in the peripheral flagship store.
"Tengdong, you insert the Rubik's Cube into the Dragon Ball manga. ”
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?" I can't think of it for the time being. ”
"I've watched the progress of the current serialization, hasn't Sun Wukong climbed the Kalin Tower to go to the temple yet? According to the previous plot, Sun Wukong wants to practice in the temple, mainly to improve his combat power, so you let people insert a plot. ”
"God took out a wisdom cube from the wisdom planet, which is used to train the wisdom and mental power of Sun Wukong, how to conceive the training plot, you arrange the following people to do it, anyway, I have a little request, to play the Rubik's cube can exercise people's brains, which is helpful to people's intellectual development, so that readers can form a concept in their minds, Rubik's cube is an educational toy!"
After listening to Xia Yu's story, Ma Tengdong was already dumbfounded, can he still do this?
Ma Tengdong's performance made Xia Yu happy, and it was in vain that he bothered to come up with a good idea.
"What do you think of this idea?"
Xia Yu said with a smile, waking Ma Tengdong up.
Ma Tengdong showed admiration and said with emotion: "Boss, your idea is too good, I believe that as long as this kind of plot is inserted, when the comic comes out, it will definitely be able to cause a sales boom in the Rubik's Cube." ”
Ma Tengdong is not a sycophant, this is his sincere words from the bottom of his heart.
As long as the reader is given such an idea, and then learns that there is a Rubik's Cube sold in the 'Manke House', out of curiosity, there will definitely be many readers who buy it to play.
And as soon as the concept of educational toys comes out, those children can confidently ask their parents to buy them a Rubik's cube, whether they really want to try, or in order not to hit the child's enterprising heart, this kind of request those parents have no way to refuse, how about spending five dollars to try?
What if it really works?
So even if it hasn't been implemented yet, Ma Tengdong can judge that the sales of the 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 can be confirmed by experts and professors after discussion, and can exercise at least seven abilities of people, such as eyesight, endurance, hand strength, memory, spatial judgment ability, attention and nerve reaction speed.
In addition, it can also allow the person who plays the Rubik's Cube to constantly challenge himself, unconsciously affecting his mind and will.
People outside don't know this now, but Xia Yu has already planned to directly invite those experts and professors to the TV station when the time comes, express authoritative opinions, and write a few authoritative articles to publish in the newspaper, and the sales of the Rubik's Cube will definitely not have to worry.
No, at that time, Xia Yu would only worry that the production capacity of the toy factory could not keep up!
"You arrange it as soon as possible, the plot should be reasonable, and arouse the reader's curiosity as much as possible, understand?"
Xia Yu told again.
"Understood!"
Ma Tengdong nodded heavily.
......
Not long after returning to the main office, Yan Wenhan happily came to find Xia Yu.
"Boss, it's a good thing!"
Yan Wenhan said happily, the smile on his face could not be concealed at all.
Xia Yu was suddenly curious, and asked Yan Wenhan to sit down and said, "Sit down and talk slowly." ”
"Thank you boss!"
"Boss, it's Sing Tao News Group's business, I got the news that Sing Tao News Group can't stand the pressure anymore, and Hu Xian wants to sell the company. ”
Yan Wenhan directly said a bombshell news, which made Xia Yu's calm heart ripple.
Xia Yu's eyes became deep, and he looked directly at Yan Wenhan and asked, "The situation is already so serious?"
After the sales fraud was exposed, Sing Tao News Group was pushed to the forefront, and then under the impetus of well-intentioned people, the Hong Kong government could only come forward and let Sing Tao News Group suspend business for rectification.
After that, Xia Yu didn't pay attention to it, because Sing Tao News Group was no longer a threat, so why waste his mind?
It's just that I didn't expect Hu Xian, who has always been strong, to make a move to sell the company, which proves that the situation of Sing Tao News Group is even worse than revealed.
It stands to reason that Sing Tao News Group has a big business, and the heritage and connections accumulated over the decades must still exist, and it is impossible to get to this point.
Unless......
Someone had crooked thoughts, forcing Hu Xian to be cornered, and the two powers harmed each other, 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.
