readx;? Barlow Simmons was finally attracted by the charm of "Fantastic Four", although at this time, he didn't know what the difference between Fantastic Four and Superman was, but this did not prevent him from liking these four superheroes who were too much like ordinary people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In his own words: "If you don't have superpowers, I feel like these guys are no different from my friends......
In fact, this is the main reason why he was able to put his favorite toys aside for a while and indulge in comic book stories.
Of course, Barlow Simmons came into contact with the Fantastic Four comics through the Rubik's Cube, and more because he was a fan of Frank Miller or a big fan of superheroes.
For example, a die-hard fan of Michelangelo, little Jimmy.
Originally, little Jimmy, who had just turned ten, just liked the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but under the influence of his sister Mickey, he also frantically chased the episodes of "Avatars", and also saw a lot of comics created by Frank Miller from his sister.
What Superman, the Flash, simply dazzled him, and he became a fan of superheroes because of it.
Little boys always worship heroes, don't they?
However, it is somewhat regrettable that Frank Miller's last comic, "Batman: Year One", he did not read it.
As soon as the comics were taken home, they were confiscated by their father, Ross Okafor, on the grounds that Batman was too dark, too heavy, and too cruel for children to read.
Jimmy once protested very dissatisfied, and even checked a lot of information on the Internet in advance, and prepared a large paragraph of rhetoric, saying that now only movies in the United States have a rating system, since comics are not rated, it means that people of all ages can watch them, so why can't he watch them?
Although these words stunned his father, it still didn't help.
"In our family, I'm the grading system. Jimmy's dad said.
However, although Jimmy didn't watch Batman: Year One, he finally balanced his mind a little when he saw that Mickey was also banned from reading that comic.
This time, Frank Miller's new comic "Fantastic Four" was reassuring to read after being reviewed by their family's "rating system".
After reading "Fantastic Four" to their heart's content, Jimmy and Mickey also learned about the event held by AC Comics, and when they saw the prize, the two siblings were all excited, and immediately pestered their father to buy two Rubik's cubes that cost twice as much as a comic.
Jimmy also borrowed a video camera from his mom and was ambitious to record a video of himself recreating the Rubik's Cube......
Well...... The result was of course obvious, after tossing and turning for several days without success, seeing that the day of the lottery was approaching, little Jimmy finally lost the battle and had to turn to his father for help.
"It's okay to ask me for help, but if I do win a prize, I can't give it to you......" Jimmy's dad said after agreeing to his request.
"Why?" asked little Jimmy anxiously.
"You have to promise me one condition first!"
"Okay, well, you can say it quickly!" Jimmy couldn't care so much about it, and said yes first, "whether you want me to walk the dog or mow the lawn or wash the dishes, I will agree!"
"I can try to help you win this doll, but I think you have to follow the rules of the game if you want to get it, so I'll give ......you the winning doll only when you succeed in recovering the Rubik's Cube," Jimmy's dad said, "but if Miki restores it first, then this doll will be Mickie's!"
Mickie, who was watching TV on the side, heard this and immediately asked happily, "Really?"
"How can this be!"
Despite his complaints, Jimmy is no longer in the mood to watch TV.
Because he knows that the way of education in their family has always been like this, and if they want to get anything, they must pay something.
"Haha, I'll be sure to restore the Rubik's Cube before you, Jimmy!" Mickey smiled and picked up her Rubik's Cube and said, "The Superman doll is mine!"
"Don't you think about it!"
Jimmy screamed, grabbed the Rubik's Cube, and fell into deep thought.
Ross Okafor smiled slightly, although his goal has been achieved, he must also fulfill his promise, after all, this is the normal way to be a father.
However, after playing with the Rubik's Cube for a few minutes, he realized that the small cube was not as simple as he thought.
Ross Okafor graduated from the University of California, California, with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and architecture, and is currently an executive at a design firm.
In a way, this is a real educational toy.
After thinking this through, Ross Okafor put away his previous slight contempt and seriously thought about how to restore the Rubik's Cube......
However, for a novice who is not very brainy, how can the Rubik's Cube be so easy to recover if it doesn't take a lot of time?
That night, Ross Okafor forgot all about what he had to do overtime, and fell into the fun of the Rubik's Cube, and even when he slept at night, it was the little cube that appeared in his dream.
The next day, he also brought the Rubik's Cube to his company, and under his influence, many of the company's employees became interested in this small toy, and for a while, the Rubik's Cube became the most popular thing in their company.
This kind of thing is happening in every company, every school, and every group in the United States. 、
People who like toys are attracted by the "Fantastic Four" comics while vigorously promoting the magic of the Rubik's Cube, and those who like comics are also attracted by the charm of the Rubik's Cube.
These two groups are influencing each other and acting on each other, more and more people are swept by this trend, and the sales of Rubik's Cube and "Fantastic Four" have risen simultaneously!
By the time the second phase of "Fantastic Four" was launched, the sales of the Rubik's Cube had exceeded the million mark.
This small toy, which costs less than one-third of the price, has brought Meng Qi a profit of more than five million US dollars, which is 30 million when converted into RMB.
In just ten days, the 200 million gambling contract with Du Ziming's father Du Jun has been completed by nearly 15%.
And this figure still does not count the sales figures of the Rubik's Cube that have been fully distributed in China.
According to this momentum, it is not impossible to win that bet in the first half of 2008, get that 11% equity, and fully control Letoy toys.
Then, there are soldiers, Lego, Barbie, and toys such as Transformers and four-wheel drive cars that Meng Qi did not propose.
Regarding this issue, Meng Qi had no need to think about it at all, but Du Ziming didn't dare to think about it.
As for Du Ziming's father, Du Jun, after learning all this, only said this to Du Ziming: "Now you can be sure that this time, I lost." However, I lost happily and willingly. ”

PS: Special note: Originally, according to the setting of this book, Huaxia and the United States Federation are two superpowers that go hand in hand, in this context, the exchange rate of Huaxia currency and US dollar should be very different from the real world, but considering various reasons, the setting of 1 US dollar is about equal to 6 Chinese currency, please don't get entangled in readers. Thank you!
