Chapter Ninety-Two: The Showman's Capital
At the end of March, the cold snap in the north has disappeared, the temperature has risen to the level of 20 degrees, and after three days of heavy rain, the air is filled with steam, which has brought people a lot of trouble, and the clothes are not dry.
It's the end of another class, this is the second week of Shen Tiejun's class, Li Guiju didn't know where to go for a meeting, Professor Lan and the department meant to wait for someone to come back and then finish, anyway, the response to his class was quite good.
Shen Tiejun could only ask the sky speechlessly, but unfortunately two days ago, there were dark clouds, and God didn't even give a face, and now the rain has finally stopped, and it's time to go out to improve the food.
Qi Lei's craftsmanship is very poor, the restaurant that was originally okay was a lot deserted after he took over, but fortunately, he still has self-knowledge, and he found a little brother who can cook to come over, and I don't know where these people come from so many little brothers, and now the business is thriving, and it is even more prosperous than when Wang Le and Huang Biao were there before.
Since Wang Le, who was with the team, took a telegram to the hotel every once in a while to report his whereabouts, this is what Shen Tiejun had originally explained, seeing that he has been going for almost a month, it is still that standard telegram, there is no other news, he also knows the value of complete Ru porcelain, if he really comes back with a basket, I am afraid that there will be a problem.
In later generations, an antique boss said a thing, someone said that he received more than a dozen pieces of Ru porcelain and asked him to help palm his eyes, but the result was that the big guy directly refused, the world has been looking for hundreds of thousands of years, this thing is no more than a dozen, you received so much at once?
It's easy to say that it's fake, it's nothing more than the loss of money, five hundred yuan plus seven or eight people eat horses, for the people in the team now, it's all trivial, Xiaohu reports the accounts to Shen Tiejun once a month, and now the wine collected is almost more than two million bottles, all over the years, and the profit of the wire rod has not been broken, and the loss of money is lost.
But if it's true...
Shen Tiejun is about to arrange for people to run away, so many genuine goods can only represent one possibility, that is, to steal the ruins of Ruyao, and this consequence is enough for the entire team to go in and eat eight taels.
"Teacher Shen~" This is a student from the training department.
"Little Senior Brother~" This is a student outside the sheep.
Greeting on the road, Shen Tiejun carried a stack of books to the door and took the letter, compared with the dozens of letters from before, the number has now dropped to single digits, take it apart and take a look, most of them are letters from the army, and the most recent ones were sent a few months ago.
For those working class who participated in the work and had to discuss poetry with him, Shen Tiejun had never given a good face, as a worker, he didn't work honestly, and he felt like a great poet when he wrote some poems that were sad about giving new words?
It is understandable for students to do this, and it is the time to absorb knowledge when they are learning, and it is inevitable to be guided by non-mainstream directions, because they are still in the growth stage, but you have all joined the work, and you are still so unprofessional?
As a result, there were fewer and fewer letters from ordinary people, but Shen Tiejun was not afraid of offending people, and after reading the envelope, he found that he didn't want it, so he took the book to the post office: "Get me a few thick envelopes, I want to send a few books." β
The staff looked at the thickness of his book, found a few large brown paper bags, and said with a smile: "Then you have to put a lot of stamps here." β
"Stick, how much is as much as it should be. β
Shen Tiejun took a brown paper bag and tried to put a set of books into it, this is what he asked Li Guiju to buy, and the compiler also shows off the capital, this is the future textbook, the second sister in the family, Xiaowu, and Zhou Ying.
A set of books was just stuffed in, and I saw the staff smearing paste on the position of the stamps, taking out a stack of stamps with a red background and tearing them skillfully, and sticking them on it, and six little monkeys with black bodies on a red background came to life.
Shen Tiejun was a little distracted: "This is-monkey ticket?"
The staff was a little nervous, and said flatteringly: "Little brother, we have a task here, if we can't sell it, we have to pay for it ourselves..."
As he spoke, he didn't stop in his hands, brushing the remaining three large envelopes of kraft paper bags, brushing the paste on the position of the stamps, and pasting them on them, for fear that Shen Tiejun would say that he would not be able to do it, so he would have to buy it himself.
"Well, that's to sell it quickly. β
Shen Tiejun nodded, looked at the thick stack of monkey tickets in front of him, remembered that this thing seemed to be more than 10,000 yuan per piece, and the whole page was more than 1 million, pointing to the remaining half of the monkey tickets and said: "Then I'll help you digest a little, I can't help with more, I will send letters often in the future anyway." β
"Thank you, thank you!"
The staff counted quickly, in fact, there was no need to count, a single 8 cents a version of 80 pieces, only six yuan and four cents, Shen Tiejun paid the money to collect the stamps, and said that this is the most profitable business, more than 100,000 times the appreciation, the house price or something in front of this thing, even the exhaust of the engine can not smell: "How is this monkey ticket issued?"
The staff nodded, with a sad face: "It is said that five million pieces have been issued, and I will get ten sets, and I can't sell them, so I have to buy them myself." β
Five million, eight cents each, that's four million?
That's not muchβno, it's 400,000?
Shen Tiejun was a little sluggish, shook his head and wanted to leave with the stamp, but the staff hurriedly spoke: "Little brother, your address hasn't been filled in yet..."
"Hey, hey, hey, I've forgotten about it. β
After returning to his senses and filling in the address, Shen Tiejun hurriedly walked to the hotel, complaining a little about himself in his heart, how did he forget about it, and when he arrived at the hotel, he found two taxis parked at the door, so he grabbed Qi Lei and took out the stamp from under his armpit: "Go, let Xiaohu send someone, this kind of stamp, as long as it is a finished version, I want it..."
Qi Lei looked at the stamps and pointed to the courtyard: "Brother Huzi is eating inside, if you don't come, I'm going to call you, and there are a few Hong Kong Island men and women in the house." β
"Then I won't see Xiaohu, you give this to him, and ask him to quickly find someone to do it for me, along the railway all the way to the imperial capital, buy as much as you want. β
Shen Tiejun stuffed the half-page stamp to Qi Lei, turned around and walked towards the courtyard, swept his eyes and drank tea next to Xiaohu, and entered the hall.
"Shen Sheng. β
At the table of the Eight Immortals, Zhou Weilin, who was drinking tea, put down the teacup and stood up, and Wang Shengqi, who was wearing a toad mirror next to him, also stood up: "Little senior brother." β
Shen Tiejun fell on the strange woman, and listened to Zhou Weilin said: "Shen Sheng, this is Miss Meng Nana, the director of the Rubik's Cube Design Department, Miss Meng graduated from RCA, under the promotion of Miss Meng, our company's main hollow Rubik's Cube has been opened for trial production, Miss Meng, please demonstrate the Rubik's Cube." β
Meng Nana looked curiously at the big bald head in front of her, dressed no different from other mainland boys, but the eye-catching brain door was impressive, opened the handbag in her hand, took out a small Rubik's Cube, and heard this person speak: "Since there are no outsiders, then everyone sits." β
Zhou Weilin nodded at Meng Nana, who was also introduced by her relationship, knowing that she originally looked down on Rubik's Cube Co., Ltd., until the investment of Rubik's Cube Industry in Dalu landed, and she changed her mind.
Sitting at the table, Meng Nana skillfully disassembled the Rubik's cube in her hand, then side by side, and then assembled it again, took out two more from the handbag, stacked them together and said: " This is designed according to Shen Sheng's design concept, and I have improved it on the basis of you, such as the sharp edges and corners, considering the unnecessary damage that may be brought to the player, the arc design has been increased, and part of the mold opening cost has been increased, but according to my feeling of getting started, the difficulty of our hollow Rubik's Cube is more difficult than that of Rubik..."
The three Rubik's cubes were arranged into a zigzag, and the same color formed an L-shaped and T-shaped stuck together, Shen Tiejun was a little distracted, looking at the L-shaped and T-shaped in a daze, and then J and Z and O-type appeared out of thin air in his mind, and he quickly moved his fingers: "Take paper and pen..."
Zhou Weilin quickly opened the briefcase, took out a paper and pen and put them on the table, and saw Shen Tiejun grab the pen and write the three words Russian on the paper, and immediately crossed out and wrote: "Magic Cube!"
Putting down the pen and putting the paper into his arms, Shen Tiejun rubbed his hands, raised his face and was full of excitement: "Yes, yes, Miss Meng really deserves to be a top student of the Royal Academy of Arts, and she thinks more thoughtfully than me." Well, let's do it, our hollow Rubik's Cube is sold on difficulty, isn't there a British kid who wrote a book that teaches people how to play the Rubik's Cube?"
Meng Nana nodded in surprise and said, "Yes, Patrick Posette, we heard about it when we were conducting a Rubik's Cube intellectual property inquiry around the world, but we didn't expect Shen Sheng to know about it." β
Holding the Rubik's Cube in his hand and rummaging back and forth, Shen Tiejun looked at the stickers pasted on it with some warped corners, and said: "Although this color is slightly different from Rubik's, there is a certain similarity, which can easily lead to unnecessary lawsuits or disputes." And I feel that since we are selling on difficulty, can we use homotropy to distinguish, for example, we engrave different Chinese characters.
Of course, this can be solved by self-adhesive printing, but in this way, the quality of self-adhesive plays an important role, after all, with plastic things, people may play when they go into the water, and they may get wet when they have a water fight if they don't take it to the water..."
Water fights?
Shen Tiejun closed his mouth, Zhou Weilin and Meng Nana were full of question marks, Wang Shengqi couldn't see his expression clearly while wearing sunglasses, he quickly sat up straight, took out the paper from his pocket, took a pen on the table, drew a gun shape with a brush, and knocked on it in a big circle behind the butt of the gun: "Miss Meng Nana, the Rubik's Cube is almost developed, and the follow-up improvement is the quality of the self-adhesive.
Then, your task is to make sure that there are no such toys in the world, and that the back of the place can be filled with water, and if you pull the trigger, the water will squirt out of the barrel of the gun, or something like that. For example, if there is a direct circular whole, there is a button pressed on it, and water will be spewed, if not, let's design it ourselves, is there any difficulty?"
