"Okay, I'll send it to you." John said, "You wait a minute. ”

"Can you ...... Mail me a Korean doll in kind? Smith asked.

"This is against the company's rules and regulations." John said, "I've already done the review, but if I find out, I'll be in trouble, and maybe I'll be expelled." ”

Fire your mother! After all the bidding, who will care about those dolls, the Koreans lose, and the samples they provide will be useless, they will only be locked in the warehouse and slowly rot, and it is easy to get one out. Just say that I want to take two back as a souvenir. "What are you afraid of being fired, you are really fired and come to me in Huaxia to give you a salary of 100,000 yuan a month." Smith said, "Didn't you tell me last time that you liked my golf clubs?" I don't have time to play golf now, so I'll give it to you. ”

"How embarrassing is that...... Can you hurry up, I'm planning to go on vacation next month and play golf for a few days. "It's been really busy lately, and there's bad news all over the place, and I've heard that the consortium has lost a lot of money on subprime mortgages, and it's about to shrink the business and cut people." No matter what position the company is, as long as you make a little mistake, the personnel department will immediately come to talk, the David next door to me was fired today, only half an hour to clean up things, it's really scary. It's a good thing I'll be able to take a vacation right away, otherwise it would have been annoying. ”

"Okay, I'll get my assistant ...... at once," Smith remembered that he didn't have an assistant anymore, "I'll mail you the key to my house, and you can go get it yourself, right in the cabinet in my storeroom." "I bought that golf set for more than 5,000 dollars, and he hasn't used it a few times himself.

After a long wait, Smith finally got his hands on the Korean-made clown doll, which on the surface was no different from the version now sold in the United States, except for a slight difference in color, probably because of the different dyes used, which was also allowed by the toy company. As for performance, it's better than Smith imagined, with access to a variety of unimaginable poses.

As a well-established toy company, Smith Toys has its own display area in many large shopping malls in the United States, which is to display all kinds of toys and let small pot friends try them out. The stars in it are always clown dolls, they can pose more incredible poses, they can operate more different instruments, they can better attract attention, once the children get started, they must put all the poses over before they give up, the more postures, the longer the time, the parents don't have so much time to waste, so they have to buy one back.

Therefore, toy companies value the performance of clown dolls the most, and the dolls made by Korean factories have the best performance, so they should win the bid. That's what the whole toy company thinks. So what weakness did Huang Wenbin find? He was able to convince Anthony to abandon the products of the Korean Toy Factory and switch to the same goods as the Daifuku Toy Factory.

Huang Wenbin still said that he would understand when he saw it, and now Smith took the Korean version of the clown doll and looked at it, and deliberately looked for a strong flashlight to look at it inch by inch, but he still didn't find anything. He has been in the toy business all his life, and now such a big puzzle is in front of him, but he can't find the answer, which really makes him die.

There was really no way, Smith had to go to Huang Wenbin, "What is the weakness?" ”

"Weakness?" Huang Wenbin asked.

"Joker's weakness!" Smith exclaimed.

"You haven't found it yet, have you?" Huang Wenbin was surprised.

"Nope." Smith couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Huang Wenbin was playing with him? There is no such thing as a weakness at all. All of them are fake, Huang Wenbin is actually the person Anthony found to clean the toy company, and the Smith consortium lost too much on the subprime mortgage, and wanted to lay off employees but refused to pay severance pay, so he set such a trap...... Before he could finish making up the story, Huang Wenbin gave the answer.

"The Joker's weakness, naturally, is Batman." Huang Wenbin said.

"Batman?" Smith's eyes widened, wondering if he was hallucinating.

"You don't know Batman?" Huang Wenbin asked, "No, Batman should be very famous in the United States." ”

"Of course I know Batman!" Smith yelled, how could he not know that Batman's classic comics that have flourished for decades, and derivatives of various TV series and animated movies are everywhere, as long as he is an American, it is impossible not to have heard of Batman.

"But what does Batman have to do with the Clown Doll?" Smith asked, "Batman and the Joker are eternal enemies, but that Joker has nothing to do with our dolls." ”

The Joker is also a famous comic book character, and his popularity is not inferior to that of Batman, but the toy company does not have the authorization of the comic book, and the clown has a long history, and the connotation is far greater than such a comic character.

There's no reason for a toy company to shrink its flagship product from such a broad concept to comic book fans. Even if it gets the authorization, at most there will be a special edition to commemorate it, and it will not mold an ordinary clown doll into the clown of Batman.

"Of course it does." Huang Wenbin said, "Batman II is about to come out, and this time Batman's opponent is the Joker." I heard that this time the clown portrayed by Nolan is a complete madman, who kills people and sets fire to the hospital, and it is easy to frighten children, do you say yes. ”

"We've done a market assessment, and the impact shouldn't be huge." "Our clowns are cute cartoons that don't scare kids," Smith said. ”

Clowns are meant to be amused, but their exaggerated costumes and costumes are actually quite scary, many children are afraid of clowns, and some children even cry when they see Ronald McDonald. Smith Toys' clown dolls are mainly sold to children, so this point was emphasized in the design, which must be cute, friendly, and not threatening.

But Batman's Joker is different, judging by the plot, he is a heinous criminal. In fact, this time Batman's Joker is a very charismatic character, and what is even more special is that actor Heath Ledger is still dead, and the role of the Joker has become his swan song, and he also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and his popularity has overshadowed Batman.

However, for toy companies, the most important point is whether it will affect toy sales. No matter how attractive a clown is, if it is scary, children will not like it; If children don't like it, parents won't buy it; If parents don't buy it, the sale will be over.

"It probably won't be big, but what about this?" Huang Wenbin closed the curtains and turned on a blue night light.

"How?" Smith was stunned and turned to look at the Joker. Under the blue light, it became eerie, especially near the eyes, a large shadow and a strange color that flickered slightly around the shadow, and the smile on the corner of the mouth became very sinister, as if it would come to life and do bad things at any time. "This ...... What's going on? Smith asked, surprised.

You don't need to change it to be a monster in a horror movie, no wonder Anthony let the Korean factory out of the game, if such a clown doll is sold, you can imagine how strong the return wave will be after one night. Add to that the impact of the Batman movies, and the possible recession, and it's not impossible for Smith Toys to go bankrupt.

"You've seen it." Huang Wenbin said.

"But how do you know?" Smith asked, "You can't possibly know!" ”

Before taking the samples to the bidding, the Koreans will definitely desperately keep it a secret. After taking it to the bidding, the testers at Smith Toys will also keep it secret, and even if someone leaks it, it is not so easy to steal a doll. Not to mention the need to analyze, but also to find weaknesses.

Smith Toys has a dedicated testing team, experienced and well-equipped, and conducts testing 24 hours a day. There is also the Korean Toy Factory, which was originally made by them, and they should be very clear about what raw materials and what process effect they use.

But the fault that these two families didn't find, Huang Wenbin was able to find out in this short period of time, is this magic or witchcraft? Unless Huang Wenbin has a super team behind him, sneaking into the United States to steal samples from South Koreans and immediately start analyzing them, this will be possible to achieve such an effect. But this is too unbelievable.

"It's not that hard at all." "As soon as the Koreans' offer came out, I knew they were going to have problems," Huang said. With the new machine and new production line, the price of parts is higher than others, but the final quotation is the same as others. This shows that it is definitely saving money on accessories. Industrial accessories are all penny-for-money, and there has never been such a thing as cheap and high-quality. Once you save money, the quality will definitely decline, and then there will definitely be problems. If you don't come out here, you will come out there. I checked the accessories imported by Koreans, and found that the paint grade is very low, and from this aspect, as long as you set a few more test scenarios, it is easy to find out all kinds of problems. Scary is just the strictest one. ”

Is this the truth? This analytical ability...... Smith trembled, it was too strong. Originally, he also felt that with his own strength and connections, he became the CEO of an investment company, although he still has no name for the time being, as long as he is given time, he will definitely be able to gradually grasp the real power, and it will not be a piece of cake to kill such a young man at that time.

But now it seems that he has no such opportunity. During this period of time, Huang Wenbin played with him in applause, not because of good luck, not by sneak attacks, but by real ability. If you want to take revenge, there is no hope of relying on yourself, you must rely on external forces.
