Zhou Binglongzai looked at the drawings carefully, looked at them for a full thirty minutes, and asked Zhou Lin a question from time to time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhou Lin's answer was fluent.

By the time Zhou Binglong finished reading it, he had already determined that the Rubik's Cube would be called a popular toy.

"How do you want to cooperate?" Zhou Binglong asked.

Zhou Lin said: "I would like to ask Boss Zhou to send the best engineers and designers to design, make and mold, and entrust your factory to produce and sell in your toy chain store." ”

Zhou Binglong nodded slightly, many toy inventors suffer from lack of capital and no production capacity, and they all use this method to cooperate with toy manufacturers, such a model is very common and not unusual.

In this model, it is actually the toy manufacturer that occupies the initiative. Toys can only be exchanged for money when they are produced, and if they are not produced, they are just a piece of waste paper and a waste of patent fees.

Zhou Binglong acted as an agent for dozens of similar patented toys, and made a lot of money as a result. Hearing Zhou Lin propose such a cooperation model, he was secretly happy in his heart, and there was no expression on the surface.

After Zhou Lin finished speaking, Zhou Binglong said: "What you are talking about is actually the agency model, all the investment is provided by me, and you are only responsible for providing patent rights." We have a similar model for a long time, and there are ready-made contracts. I can guarantee that as long as you sign a contract with me, I will do my best to promote the Rubik's Cube. I think it could even be more than a million sold in the first year!"

I couldn't understand the conversation between Zhou Lin and Zhou Binglong, and Li Hao, who had been drinking tea, was startled.

One million Rubik's cubes, even if one only earns five dollars, that's five million!

Although Li Hao is very rich and can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars by making an album, he was still surprised to hear the figure of five million.

Zhou Lin said: "One million? Boss Zhou has such confidence is very good, you are the most powerful toy manufacturer in Asia, I very much hope to cooperate with you." ”

"That's great, my lawyer is in Pingjing, how about I ask him to sign a contract with you later?" Zhou Binglong said excitedly.

Zhou Lin said: "Don't worry, let's talk about the proportion of income sharing first." ”

"There is a convention for the ratio, generally the inventor takes 15% of the royalty. Zhou Binglong said, "You are Li Hao's friend, I can give you a guaranteed contract, one million a year, and sign a five-year cooperation contract, how about it?"

According to the profit of 5 million, 15% is 750,000, and it is already an exaggeration to have an annual income of 750,000 yuan for just a small toy.

And Zhou Binglong generously gave a guaranteed contract of one million, and it was signed for five years, as long as Zhou Lin nodded, it was five million, Li Hao was very envious when he listened, and felt that this price was really fair and kind.

Zhou Lin smiled: "Boss Zhou is so interesting, if I want to make a million, why waste time inventing any toys, just write a few more songs." ”

Zhou Binglong's face froze: "Then what do you mean?"

Zhou Lin said: "Fifty-fifty points." ”

Zhou Binglong's eyes widened: "How is it possible, there is no such price in the industry!"

Li Hao was also a little anxious.

Zhou Lin: Isn't this a lion's big mouth!

You must know that Zhou Binglong has to provide the entire process from design to production to plastic mold to production to sales to promotion to after-sales, which is very costly alone.

Zhou Lin just provided a drawing, and he wanted half of the profits?

Zhou Lin said with a smile: "I don't care about industry practices, they shouldn't exist in the first place." Fifty-fifty is my bottom line, and no less is enough. Boss Zhou can calculate the income brought by the Rubik's Cube, and refer to the real estimated sales volume in your heart, you will feel that the profit you get is actually not a lot at all. ”

Zhou Binglong was startled, and glanced at Zhou Lin deeply, feeling that he had been seen through for the first time.

He did have an estimate in his heart. The cost of the Rubik's Cube, the expected sales volume of the Rubik's Cube, the price of the Rubik's Cube, and even the profit that can be obtained in the next five years have long been an approximate figure.

That is a figure that a billionaire like him would be excited about, otherwise he would not have generously given Zhou Lin a guaranteed royalty of 1 million.

Compared to that number, a million is a fart!

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't show any clues, but Zhou Lin seemed to see through his thoughts.

Barely smiling, Zhou Binglong said: "Impossible, I can't give you such a high percentage." If it's a fifty-fifty split, I won't continue to talk about this cooperation. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Lin said, "Boss Zhou, why don't you take a look at the second patent, and we'll discuss it after you read it?"

"And?" Zhou Binglong realized that there was a thick stack of drawings behind him, could it be that Zhou Lin's invention was not only a Rubik's cube, but also other toys?

With a hint of curiosity, Zhou Binglong turned the page in the end.

Zhou's building blocks?

Seeing this name, Zhou Binglong was stunned for a moment, what is there to invent building blocks?

Zhou Binglong's toy factory alone is producing dozens of building blocks, covering various specifications, materials, and sizes, accounting for 65 percent of the market under the age of three. Zhou Binglong really can't think of any other patents for building blocks.

But as he continued to look down, his mouth opened wide, and it was a little hard to believe what he was seeing.

Zhou Binglong read more than 40 pages of patent drawings in one go, then raised his head and asked a little blankly: "This is all your invention and design?"

Zhou Lin nodded.

Zhou Binglong smiled bitterly and said: "In vain, I have been studying toys since I was a teenager, and I am fifty-two years old this year, and my forty years of experience is not as good as you, a musician who is less than twenty years old, what a shame!"

Li Hao said strangely: "Boss Zhou, why do you say that, is this toy very fun?"

Zhou Binglong said: "It's not just fun...... It's simply ...... It is...... It's a world!"

Zhou's bricks are actually Lego bricks from the previous life!

This is a plastic building block with a stud on one side and a groove on the other side that can be embedded in the stud. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 1,300 shapes of Lego bricks, which can be put together to create endless shapes, which makes people love it, and is known as "magic plastic bricks".

In its previous life, Fortune magazine once dubbed Lego the "toy of the century", with a variety of series, not only to attract children, but even adults can not resist its magic, with 300 million consumers around the world!

Although the Rubik's Cube is very fun, it is a difficult educational toy after all, and it is difficult to become popular. In particular, a Rubik's Cube can be played for a long time, which is not enough to expand the market.

Lego is different, the possibilities are endless, even addictive, and the more you buy, the more you feel that it is not enough. In the mouths of some people in previous lives, there is a catchy phrase that can explain the horror of Lego.

"SLR ruins a lifetime, Lego is poor for three generations"! )
