On Friday afternoon, Zhou Lin and Xia Da arrived in Pingjing.

After meeting with Ren Feifei, the two women went to the mall, and Zhou Lin rushed to Huirong Building alone to meet people.

He rushed to see Li Hao, but Li Hao was just an introducer, and what Zhou Lin really wanted to meet was Zhou Binglong, a successful businessman nicknamed "Toy King".

Zhou Binglong was born in a small southern town, left home at the age of 16 to work, first worked in a toy factory in a township, quickly learned various crafts by relying on his ingenuity, and borrowed money to set up a small workshop.

In ten years, the small workshop has become a large factory, and Zhou Binglong has developed a lot of new toys, several of which are worth hundreds of millions of yuan in patents.

After another ten years, Zhou Binglong's factory has become the largest toy company in Asia, and has successfully become one of the 100 richest people in China, completing the inspirational story of a rural youth who has become a billionaire.

Zhou Binglong invested in the filming of a toy-themed movie a few years ago, and Li Hao was the music director of the film at that time, so the two got acquainted.

Zhou Lin heard that Li Hao knew Zhou Binglong, so he asked him to introduce him.

When they saw Zhou Binglong, Zhou Lin and Zhou Binglong were a little surprised.

Zhou Lin was surprised that Zhou Binglong was so rich and still maintained the simple score of a rural person, and the suit on his body didn't know how much water had been washed, and it was already a little pumping, no matter how he thought about it, it didn't look like a piece of clothing that could be worn on a billionaire.

Zhou Binglong was surprised by Zhou Lin's youth, if it wasn't for Li Hao's strong admiration before, he would really suspect that Zhou Lin was a liar.

"Hello Boss Zhou. Zhou Lin shook hands with Zhou Binglong, and Zhou Lin had great respect for this self-made rich man with a keen talent in toys.

"Nice to meet you. "Zhou Binglong is very enthusiastic, with a kind of simplicity and kindness of a rural entrepreneur. However, Zhou Lin had read some of his reports in his previous life and knew that this tycoon was actually a very "cunning" person, and his appearance as a rural entrepreneur was just a disguise. Whoever really thinks that he is easy to deceive will definitely die a very miserable death.

The three of them sat down and chatted, and after chatting a few words, Zhou Binglong said: "Brother Zhou, we were a family five hundred years ago, so there is no need to go around in circles." You told Li Hao that you wanted to cooperate with me, I want to know what kind of cooperation it is? I only make toys, I'm not very good at anything else, and the last time I shot that TV series, I just wanted to advertise my toy brand, and I have no plans to enter the film and television industry yet. ”

Yes, before Zhou Lin could speak, Zhou Binglong had already blocked the mouth, and it seemed that there were many people who planned to take money from him on weekdays, which had already given him some kind of immunity.

Zhou Lin smiled: "Boss Zhou, you are the toy king of the world." Of course, I asked you to talk about cooperation in toys. That's right, I have invented and registered several toys, and I plan to ask you to help design and produce them. ”

"The toy you invented?" Zhou Binglong was taken aback.

Even Li Hao was stunned for a moment. Li Hao only knew that Zhou Lin could write songs, and he wrote very well, but he didn't know Zhou Lin's achievements in other industries, let alone Zhou Lin's understanding of the toy industry.

Zhou Lin nodded: "That's right, I have invented several toys, all of which are puzzles." Basically, it can be regarded as a kill for all ages and all ages. ”

Zhou Binglong smiled, his title of "Toy King" did not come casually. This "king" not only means that he owns the largest toy company in Asia, but also represents the dozens of toy patents he owns, of which eight kinds of toys were invented by Zhou Binglong, which is also the foundation of his business.

In other industries, Zhou Binglong didn't understand, and he didn't dare to enter rashly.

But when it comes to the toy industry. Speaking of whether a toy can be accepted by consumers, whether it can be popular, whether it can sell well, and whether it can form an industry, Zhou Binglong said yes. Then it won't be no, Zhou Binglong said no, no matter how hard he tries, he can't become yes.

Zhou Lin said in front of Zhou Binglong that he had registered a toy patent for his invention, just like doing carpentry work in front of Lu Ban, playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and singing rock and roll in front of Leng Youyou, he really found the right place and the right person.

However, in Zhou Binglong's heart, he didn't take it seriously, like Zhou Lin, who said that he had invented a toy and how much money he could sell, he had met a lot of people, and 99% of them were nonsense. If he had taken a look at everyone who said that, he wouldn't have to do anything.

It's just that Zhou Lin's introducer is Li Hao, and Zhou Binglong put on an interested look in order to give Li Hao face: "I can't see that you are so young, and you also have research on the toy industry." ”

Zhou Lin is not a fool, how could he not hear the contempt in Zhou Binglong's words, and smiled slightly: "It's not a research, I just want to do something in the toy industry." ”

"Let's take a look at your design first. Zhou Binglong said.

Zhou Lin was prepared, opened the backpack he was carrying and took out a stack of design drawings. These drawings have already been registered by Wang Xiaotian for patents, including appearance, including gameplay, including exclusivity, if anyone imitates, Zhou Lin can make the other party bankrupt with a complaint, so he is not afraid to show people at all.

Zhou Binglong took the drawings, turned the first page, and read out the name of the toy at the top.

The name of the "Rubik's Cube?" toy attracted Zhou Binglong's interest and continued to read.

The drawings are simple and easy to understand, the so-called Rubik's cube is actually a cube of six different colors, composed of twenty-six small cubes, the core is an axis, the six central squares surrounding the axis are fixed, each square has only one side of the color, eight three-sided colored corner squares can be rotated, and twelve two-sided colored edge squares can also be rotated.

The first six sides of this seemingly very simple cube are all the same color, and after turning, the color is messy, and the gameplay is to restore the color to unity by turning.

It's easy to say, but Zhou Binglong is keenly aware that the gameplay here is very brain-testing, no wonder Zhou Lin would say that it is a puzzle toy.

He couldn't help but ask, "How many variations are there with this toy?"

This is an important question to judge the playability of the game by the numbers.

Zhou Lin said: "This is a third-order Rubik's cube, and the total number of changes is 43,252,003,274,489,856,000, which is about equal to 4.3X10^19. ”

Zhou Binglong raised his head, glanced at Zhou Lin with some surprise, and realized that the young man in front of him was not playing tickets, not talking nonsense, not cheating money, but really brought a magical toy.

Judging from his experience, this game has the head, potential, and market, and may even become a popular educational toy.

What he didn't know was that in his previous life, the Rubik's Cube, along with "Huarong Dao" and "Independent Diamond", was also known as the world's three major intellectual sports, and its popularity was not inferior to that of "Tetris"! )
