  Chapter 58 Requesting a Raise

  After returning from TVB, Chen Yi was in his office and saw a dozen schoolboys carrying schoolbags. Each of them held a Rubik's Cube in their hands, surrounded Ma Qingqing to learn how to solve the Rubik's Cube.

  These students are the children of Dafeng Toy Factory employees who go to school. Chen Yi specially asked them to help them. After they memorize the formula and learn how to play the Rubik's Cube, they will bring the Rubik's Cube to the school to publicize.

   Rubik's Cube is useless just to see it. It needs to be operated in order to attract children's attention.

  In order to make his own Rubik's Cube famous, Chen Yi prepared 5,000 toy Rubik's Cubes, which will be distributed to some students for free after TVB's publicity broadcast.

  He is so generous, of course it is not because he is burning too much money, but mainly because he wants to spread the reputation of Rubik's Cube as soon as possible so as to open up markets in other regions.

   After all, Xiangjiang is a place with few people and narrow land. If only relying on the market of Xiangjiang, even if he takes out all series of Rubik's Cubes, he won't be able to make much money.

  Only by making a name for yourself, expanding the market for Rubik’s Cube, and attracting partners from European and American countries, can you really make a lot of money.

After everyone had learned it and solved the Rubik's Cube in front of Ma Qingqing, Ma Qingqing took out the change she had prepared from her bag, distributed 20 yuan to each person, and told them to bring the Rubik's Cube with them tomorrow. Go to school, and then let these students leave with the Rubik's Cube.

   "Huh" Seeing the group of children happily taking the money and leaving, Ma Qingqing let out a sigh of relief, "I'm exhausted, now I can finally realize that being a teacher is not easy."

  Seeing that Chen Yi was sitting on the boss's chair without any reaction, Ma Qingqing pretended to be dissatisfied and protested: "Boss, I strongly demand that my salary be increased this month. My current job has exceeded the duties of a secretary."

  Thinking of how busy she was during this time, compared to when she was her father's secretary, Ma Qingqing asked Chen Yi for a salary increase.

  She is no longer a young lady, but a wage earner. Naturally, the higher the salary, the better.

  Chen Yi glanced at her, did not refuse, and nodded directly: "Since Secretary Ma, you have been serious and responsible in your work during this period, I will give you a salary increase of 50 Hong Kong dollars next month."

   It’s rare, Boss Chen is finally generous, Song Kou gave someone a salary increase, since he took over the Dafeng Toy Factory, except for Lao Wang next door, none of the other employees have received a half-money salary increase.

  In Boss Chen's opinion, an extra 50 yuan per month is quite a lot. After all, he took over Dafeng Toys for only one month.

   Ma Qingqing was dissatisfied when she heard that Chen Yicai gave her a salary increase of 50 Hong Kong dollars, "It's only 50 Hong Kong dollars. Boss, you sent the beggar."

  Chen Yi gave him a blank look, and said, "Don't forget it, add an extra fifty every month, and it will be six hundred yuan a year, just enjoy yourself."

  Six hundred yuan is enough to pay the small foreman of the factory a month's salary, and Boss Chen's distress is almost written on his face.

   Ma Qingqing: "..."

   Without waiting for Ma Qingqing to entangle, Chen Yi directly changed the subject and asked, "I asked you to find a printing factory to print the Rubik's Cube Restoration Manual, have you contacted it?"

   Ma Qingqing calmed down, nodded and said: "I have already contacted, Mingji Printing Factory promised to print the Rubik's Cube recovery manual for us."

  Chen Yi: "How much is the price?"

   Ma Qingqing: "It depends on the quantity. The more we order, the lower the price will be. Mingji starts at a minimum of 2,000 copies, and the cost is one yuan per copy."

  Chen Yi heard that a ten-page restoration manual cost one dollar a copy, and he couldn't help complaining: "One dollar a copy, they want to steal money."

  Ma Qingqing said: "If you print 10,000 copies at a time, you can get a 10% discount, and 20,000 copies are 80% off."

  Chen Yi blinked and asked Ma Qingqing: "Then if I print 100,000 copies, will it be free?"

  When Ma Qingqing heard this, she looked at him like an idiot, and she didn't even want to talk to him.

  Chen Yi felt a little uncomfortable being watched by her, and said with a sneer, "Okay, just tell me, what is the lowest price they offer."

   Ma Qingqing said: "The minimum price is 0.7 yuan per copy, but the number of printed copies must not be less than 50,000."

"50,000 copies, then it will cost 35,000." Chen Yi frowned, the price was too expensive, and he was spending money every day, if he hadn't recovered the debt from the island country before, he would I'm afraid the wallet will be empty.

  Chen Yi thought for a while, and then told Ma Qingqing: "Call and ask if you can pay half of it first, and settle the remaining half in a month."

  Ma Qingqing nodded, then asked: "Then how many copies should we prepare to print?"

  Chen Yi thought for a while and said, "50,000 copies!"

   Ma Qingqing hesitated and said, "There are so many, can they be sold?"

To be honest, although she is very optimistic about the potential of the Rubik's Cube, the Rubik's Cube has not been sold yet, and the results are not clear. In this case, so many manuals for restoring the Rubik's Cube are printed, and she is afraid that the Rubik's Cube will not be sold by then. All in the hand.

  Chen Yidao: "There is a Rubik's Cube competition, with a bonus of 100,000 yuan, how can we sell 10,000 to 20,000 copies!"

  Ma Qingqing heard the words, subconsciously asked: "How much is the boss going to price for a book?"

  Chen Yi said seriously: "It's not expensive, just three yuan a copy, and the wholesale price is two yuan and seventy cents."

   Ma Qingqing: "..."

  ‘Isn’t that expensive? ’ Ma Qingqing couldn't help scolding Chen Yizhou for being skinny, it's twice as expensive, isn't it? Once these manuals are all sold, not only the cost is returned, but even the 100,000 yuan bonus invested in is also returned.

   Now she finally understands what her father said before, that if a businessman is not evil, he will not make money.

  Chen Yi was stared at by her inexplicably, and asked: "Secretary Ma, why are you staring like this?"

   Ma Qingqing didn't speak, just shook her head, but her eyes showed a bit of disdain.

When Chen Yi saw this, he immediately thought of something, and explained: "I am collecting intellectual property fees. What is intellectual property rights? You should understand that I have worked hard to come up with these recovery methods. I will collect some intellectual property rights fees." Isn't the tax too much?"

  Chen Yi doesn't blush at all when he tells a lie. In his opinion, there is no specific person about the method of resolving the Rubik's Cube, and no one said anything about it.

  Hearing Chen Yi's defense, Ma Qingqing found that she was powerless to refute. She had carefully analyzed those formulas and formulas, and it was indeed very difficult for a person to deduce these things.

  Sometimes she can't help thinking about how the other party's brain grows, how they can come up with toys like the Rubik's Cube, and even think of so many solutions to restore the Rubik's Cube.
