"Xu Sheng, this is the sales of Comic Weekly this week. Lin Wenzhou put a report on the table.

Xu Zhi glanced at it and said with a smile: "Yes, the sales volume has broken fifteen thousand!"

Comics are naturally comics adapted from Sou Shen Ji, although it is not bad, but the content of Sou Shen Ji is imaginative, and it contains a lot of classical culture, this kind of product, it is too wasteful to write it directly and release it!

After Sou Shen wrote it into a comic, it was sold in the form of a weekly magazine, and each issue was the same as an ordinary book, almost more than 100 pages, which seemed like a lot, but compared to the number of more than 6 million words in the original book, it would inevitably be the same as Crayon Xiaoxin and Conan, accompanying countless people to be born, go to school, take exams, graduate, get married, and have children......

Of course, the main purpose of this book is to give his artists the opportunity to practice, speaking of IP value, it is far less than the classic Japanese comics of the 80-90s in later generations, and after becoming proficient, it is the time to develop these classic comics.

Lin Wenzhou said: "Although our comics are expensive, the paper is very good, and the content is attractive enough, although it is only the third issue, but the sales have exceeded 15,000." ”

In terminal markets such as newsstands and bookstores, the price of a weekly magazine is 5 Hong Kong dollars, such a price, the average school family, unless they are enthusiasts, they really can't afford it.

But there are more poor people in the city of Xiangjiang, there are more rich people, and there are fewer good-looking comics, you know, the peak sales of Fengyun comics were as high as 140,000, and now Sou Shen Ji has just begun.

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, how is the cauliflower doll?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "The sample has been made, according to the information we got back from the UK, we have made almost 30 different types of dolls, these are the most popular species on the earth, as for other types, there are actually hundreds of kinds, but no samples have been made for the time being." ”

"Where is the sample?" asked Xu Zhi.

Lin Wenzhou said: "In the warehouse of our toy factory. ”

Xu Zhidao: "Then let's go and have a look!"

"Now?" Lin Wenzhou said in surprise: "Why don't I ask someone to send it over!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, there are so many kinds of dolls, do you plan to transport them by truck?" I'm just going to the scene to have a look." ”

"Okay, then I'll make a call first and get the people over there ready. ”

......

The car went all the way west and soon arrived at the factory of Changxing Toys.

The scale of this factory is not large, and every crane machine in the United States will send a box of toys when the crane machine is popular, and these orders are naturally cheaper for Changxing Company, and the number of people has risen from more than 20 to about 100 people.

However, in recent months, Midea's arcade machine sales have increased significantly, and the crane machines have basically been outsourced due to production capacity and profits, and Changxing's toy factory has also been affected.

Zhang Xuenong, the director of the factory, was already waiting for Xu Zhi and his party downstairs, and when the car arrived, he stepped forward and said, "Xu Sheng, welcome!"

Xu Zhi saw Zhang Xuenong a few times, and said with a smile: "Zhang Sheng is polite!"

After a polite exchange, they walked in.

Changxing toys is located on the ninth floor of the industrial office building, in Xiangjiang, this light industry factory is like a cow's hair, and most of them belong to sweatshops, hot summer, in countless garment factories and garment factories, hundreds of employees huddled together, desperately wiping sweat to complete various orders.

Xu Zhi has long ordered that this is not allowed, for example, the toy factory in front of him, the density of personnel is not high, and air conditioning is installed, and the fire safety is also in place, compared to other factories, this is simply heaven.

As soon as Xu Zhi and the others entered the workshop, Wu Peng printed it and said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, hello!"

"Xu, your sister!" Xu Zhi cried and laughed and said, "I still like you to call me Dazhi!"

Wu Peng joked: "That's not good, you're the boss now." ”

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how are you staying in the toy factory?"

Wu Peng said: "It's okay, I'm mainly responsible for business now, that is, I go out to find orders every day, although I'm tired, but it's still very meaningful." ”

Zhang Xuenong, the director of the factory next to him, said: "Xiao Wu is still working hard, and the factory's current orders, except for Midea, the other 20% of the orders are run out by him." ”

"So powerful!" Xu Zhi smiled: "How did you do it?"

Wu Peng smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, persistence can lead to success." ”

Zhang Xuenong said with a smile: "This is not an ordinary persistence, it takes more than 12 hours a day, and few people can do this spirit." ”

Xu Zhi couldn't imagine that Wu Peng was so desperate, and said: "There is no need to work so hard in the future, don't exhaust your body." ”

Wu Peng smiled: "Okay, let's go and see the toys, the cauliflower doll is ready." ”

Everyone walked into a small warehouse inside, and as soon as the lights were turned on, hundreds of cauliflower dolls appeared in front of them.

As Xu Zhi requested, the size of these toys is almost 40 centimeters, which is about the same size as a newborn baby, and at the moment the skin color of the dolls in the warehouse is white, the hair and hairstyle are all different, the color is black, gold and red, the clothes are also different, the color is peculiar, although there are only more than 30 kinds of toys at the moment, but with different hairstyles and clothes, the choice of the market can be at least 10 times more than 10 times.

Looking at the toys of different styles in front of him, Xu Zhi seemed to see piles of dollars one after another.

In later generations, the minimum toy of the cauliflower doll is 15 US dollars, and the high-end commemorative version, the price is as high as 8000 US dollars, but even if the use of more advanced environmentally friendly materials, the cost of this toy is only a dozen Hong Kong dollars, which is still the price of small batch production, if the future mass industrial production, procurement and production costs are greatly reduced.

Who says only high tech makes money?

A good idea can sell a pile of stones for the price of gold.

Xu Zhi picked up a few toys casually, the material on them was a kind of plastic, but it was a little better than the common texture at home, and there was no smell when it smelled.

Xu Zhi asked, "What about this plastic safety level?"

Zhang Xuenong explained: "Xu Sheng, this is the most environmentally friendly plastic produced by United Carbonization Corporation of the United States, which has passed the environmental protection certification of the toy industry in the United States. ”

Xu Zhi asked again: "Can you use silicone instead?"

No matter how high the environmental protection level of plastics is, they generally contain some toxic substances, such as benzene.

Silica gel is much better, the main ingredient is silica, which is stable and non-combustible.

Zhang Xuenong explained: "At present, it is not possible, and many toy manufacturers also use silicone, but these are used for relatively small toys, such as high-end Barbie dolls in the United States, which are only the size of a palm." And our cabbage doll can't, if it is all silicone, the cost of a doll is estimated to be more than $50, which will not be a market at all!"

"That's it!" Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "In that case, isn't there a high-end toy in our plan, and that one will be changed to silicone, which can be separated from ordinary dolls." ”

The high-end cabbage doll actually looks the same, but the inside will add chips, pronunciation tools, touch sensors, etc., this kind of toy can simply interact with children, such as you touch its belly, it will reply: please don't touch me, my stomach is afraid of itching.

But the intelligence is not very high.,It's all pre-set programs.,There will only be one reply to the same action.,It's a relatively stupid toy.。

The shape of the toy in front of me and the cauliflower doll in the memory are already seven or eight apart, but really speaking, in fact, the appearance is not important, the important thing is how to replicate the incredible propaganda effect of later generations, which still needs to be planned step by step, otherwise, these toys are estimated to not even achieve 1% of the results of the later generations.

"By the way, how is the Rubik's Cube doing?" Xu Zhi suddenly remembered a small toy again.

"I have it on my side. Wu Peng took out a Rubik's Cube from his pocket.

Xu Zhi took it, this Rubik's Cube has been messed up, and Xu Zhi has been tinkering with it for a long time, but he still can't recover.

Lin Wenzhou said: "This Rubik's Cube, we have studied it for a long time, and it is really difficult to get back the same as 6 sides, but one side is quite simple." ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "If this thing wants to be restored, there should be a set of logical mathematical methods, otherwise it will be impossible to succeed at all if you are blind by feeling." ”

Xu Zhi didn't know how to restore the Rubik's Cube in his previous life, and now his eyes are black.

Lin Wenzhou nodded and said: "Yes, this toy has actually been made a long time ago, but because we haven't found a way to play it, we don't dare to put it on the market like this, for fear that customers will lose interest!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Wrong, you have to change your mind, this thing is so complicated, just a few of you, it is estimated that you won't be able to think of a way until 2019?"

I don't understand why the boss mentioned 2019, Lin Wenzhou still said: "Xu Sheng, do you mean to go to the university to find some professors to summarize the method?"

"Do you think the professor is omnipotent? You still don't understand what I mean, I'm not saying that you can't do it, but that a few of you can't do it! It's the difference in quantity!" Xu Zhi explained with a smile: "Instead of us doing our own research or asking someone to do research, we will let the whole Xiangjiang and even the whole world study for us." ”

Lin Wenzhou asked: "What does Xu Sheng mean is that we will release the Rubik's Cube now? and then let all the players around the world find a way to recover for us." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, but no one will be bored to take the initiative to help, we must set a high reward, to be the first to completely summarize the recovery method of the Rubik's Cube, our company will reward 1 million Hong Kong dollars! This cash is not limited to nationality or race, anyone can get this money as long as they meet the requirements first"
