Chapter 6, The Proliferation of Counterfeit Goods

Lu Ming suddenly realized something

The daily net profit reaches 120,000, and this is from an ordinary small shop like Lu Ming's. If it were in a larger store, how much profit would it generate? Clearly, it would be an astronomical figure

It is a secret formula

The sky

Brother Lu, I have arrived

Far more terrifying than today

What are you planning to do this time

It is actually Zhang Xiaopang

There is no need to spend much money at all

Most shops have already closed, and the number of pedestrians has decreased, giving a sense of desolation; however, Lu Ming knows that some matters have only just begun

If it were those high-tech advanced cards, it would be understandable, but how could a mere low-level ordinary card, which lacks encryption and has such simplistic content, possibly sell for a high price

Originally, his relationship with Zhang Xiaopang was merely that of ordinary friends, and he truly did not expect that Zhang Xiaopang would be so generous! One hundred thousand yuan, worth it!

Refreshing

A calm middle-aged man's voice came through, "Hello, may I ask what the matter is"

three hours

At this moment

However

Therefore, Lu Ming took a deep breath and offered each family an extremely low price of ten thousand or twenty thousand

Gradually dimming

Lu Ming laughed and said

The crowd gradually dispersed

Looking for you

It is heartbreaking

Lu Ming thought for a moment, "I assumed they would come looking for me"

How is that possible

This person has a distorted worldview

The popularity of Fruit Ninja is likely to truly explode

120,000

Lu Ming paused and said, "I only sell for fifty thousand."

Zhang Xiaopang also found it strange

one million

If you do not allow me to make money, then do not blame me for being impolite

If I had known this earlier, I should have just approached him directly to make the purchase, why go through so much trouble

It has become popular

Then

I still feel quite at a loss.

Lu Ming hung up the phone, feeling refreshed and invigorated

Lu Ming flipped through the contact list, found the contact information for the Yezi chain store, and called directly, "I am the founder of Fruit Ninja, and I need to speak with your boss"

Zhang Xiaopang comforted

I actually think it is nothing

He has become completely rigid

Zhang Xiaopang suddenly felt a sense of alarm and trepidation

This is profits in the thousands, or even in the hundreds of millions

I may know why

It is somewhat cold

If these people find Zhang Xiaopang, they are likely not to come looking for themselves

Lu Ming felt heartbroken, "If he wants to buy, then just sell it!"

What happened

Zhang Xiaopang was instantly stunned

This is my mistake

Certainly, this 20,000 cannot be touched, as it is necessary to leave some costs for card production, as well as the promised bonus of 10,000 for marketing activities

That Zhang Xiaopang also spent 100,000, but that guy still hasn't agreed

I am overwhelmed

Lu Ming secretly spoke to little Lu Ming in his heart

Boss, please prepare more cards for tomorrow

There was a noticeable pause on the other side, "Please wait a moment."

What is his net profit today

Zhang Xiaopang lamented

Has Fruit Ninja become popular?

Especially in this street, this neighborhood, those clever individuals

Therefore, purchasing this card may require more than 10 million, or even an astronomical price! What about creating a similar card?

Zhang Xiaopang does not understand

I still feel dissatisfied

Tomorrow's 'Fruit Battle', they do not even have the qualification to participate

No one will give up

Since these stores have already imitated Fruit Ninja, they should be in a rush to produce it. By tomorrow morning, several nearby stores should have it available

Logically speaking, since one hundred thousand has already contacted themselves, why not contact Lu Ming

Ah?

He suddenly felt that it would be better not to provoke Lu Ming in the future

Lu Ming patted him on the shoulder

Those who spend a fortune to create counterfeits could hardly be expected to waste money on purchases

However, he was displeased that he could not recover even a small amount of royalties from those individuals

He not only called Shengcai to give him money, but also called Zhang Chun and the owners of several larger shops nearby, speaking very candidly. If he had a few tens of thousands of yuan, he would really sell it

Not in a hurry

Zhang Xiaopang was speechless

five

Alright

Since they have already produced it, they will obviously not buy it. Offering an extremely low price is purely to make these bosses uncomfortable

The income reaches a total of one hundred and forty thousand

In the Lu Ming store

How many times has he had a thorough health check-up!

The two exchanged a glance, both wearing expressions of deep sorrow; after all, it was money!

Three hundred cards

One can earn it back in just one day

The Fruit Ninja card is a chicken that lays golden eggs

However ... ...

Are you out of your mind

He has paid off all his loans and still has 20,000 remaining

We will assess the situation tomorrow

Why

Qian Shengcai looked completely bewildered

After deducting a cost of 20,000, the net profit surprisingly reaches 120,000

one hundred thousand

I can help you settle the debt you owe

It turns out to be like this

Hehe

Zhang Xiaopang sighed

Why is it you

Is someone looking for you

Lu Ming's mind was shaken

That is one hundred thousand

A long time

Lu Ming's expression was somewhat unpleasant

Of course

Only after everyone had left did he tally today's income

Zhang Xiaopang is well aware of his own level, which is too low and too rudimentary. Even if he casually switches to another illusionist, their creations would surpass his own. Moreover, the card makers they choose are also exceptionally skilled, resulting in a lower cost for card production.

Lu Ming, seeing Zhang Xiaopang's eyes filled with resentment, hurriedly changed his words: "Ahem, I didn't expect you, Zhang Xiaopang, to be so righteous!"

Boss, we will come again tomorrow

Lu Ming chuckled, "You must understand that, generally speaking, our happiness is often built upon the suffering of others, especially those with whom we have conflicts. When they are unhappy, I naturally feel pleased."

Lu Ming glanced outside; it was already quite late in the day

This is indeed a substantial amount of money

Fruit Ninja, it is all about gaining the first-mover advantage! Therefore, he spent a high price to acquire relevant information from several individuals, and also paid a premium to hire card makers and illusionists to create it.

It can only be this way

He spent this 500,000 primarily to create a time difference

Because we have just completed it

After those individuals return, they will spread the word, and after a day of brewing, by tomorrow, the popularity of Fruit Ninja will undoubtedly explode in all dimensions

Lu Ming found it somewhat strange, "Logically speaking, shouldn't the owner of the Yezi chain store and Zhang Chun be coming to me for acquisition at this time? I would sell for 100,000!"

I did not expect you to be so foolish

Zhang Xiaopang was left speechless after listening to it

120,000

Lu Ming felt a sense of anticipation

Lu Ming sighed

What does this indicate

Amidst the unwilling expressions of some individuals, Lu Ming announced the closure of the store

fifty thousand

One hundred thousand is sufficient

However, at least it can be considered that there are no debts now

Lu Ming took a deep breath and said, "I would like to sell you the design drawings, design concepts, and creative ideas for this Fruit Ninja card."

Lu Ming expressed his regret, "It seems there is no opportunity for collaboration. Since you have already produced it, may I ask how much it cost to create it?"

He then saw Lu Ming with a look of bewilderment on his face

Zhang Xiaopang sighed

A gentle breeze passed by

They have no room for competition

Qian Shengcai's lips curled into a faint smile, "You do have some creativity to produce such things, but these items lose their value the moment they are seen."

one hundred thousand

The business is exceptionally thriving

What a mess this is

Ah?

Especially now

Want to sell it to them at an exorbitant price

Uh

How long can it last

Why didn't you tell me earlier

Lu Ming spent a full ten days creating cards, and astonishingly, he consumed them all, leaving not a single one remaining

Dazed, I hung up the phone, still not fully aware of what had just happened. Fifty thousand? A card that generates over one hundred thousand in profit a day, and you are only selling it for fifty thousand?

Indeed

Zhang Xiaopang widened his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, Brother Lu, someone came to find me today! One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand to buy your method of constructing the Fruit Ninja illusion!"

... ...

Zhang Xiaopang was filled with joy

Qian Shengcai still felt somewhat pleased with himself

The day slowly passes by

Will anyone come

Such a loss

In Lu Ming's small shop

Lu Ming said calmly

Fruit Ninja was originally designed for these individuals

It seems that counterfeit goods will be rampant tomorrow

It's nothing, anyway you will still make other cards in the future

Why can't it be me

You see, although I have incurred a loss of 100,000, it has made me realize that you, Zhang Xiaopang, are a person of loyalty and affection. In the future, I will have a large number of better cards for you to create, and I believe I have gained.

He truly feels this way

Moreover

Zhang Xiaopang : `` ... ... ''

Qian Shengcai declined

Are you foolish

Zhang Xiaopang, full of pride, said, "I, Old Zhang, have finally made a name for myself in the world. However, am I the kind of person who would do that? One hundred thousand? There is simply no discussion! Even if I am in dire need of money, I would never betray my friends!"

We do not need

Then ... ...

After all, I am the creator of Fruit Ninja

Hello, Boss Qian

No one cares

500,000

This guy

It does not exist

No.

It is also unlikely; at most, it would only last for eight or nine days.

Zhang Xiaopang was somewhat bewildered

Zhang Xiaopang was dumbfounded, "Isn't this... your secret recipe?"

Qian Shengcai felt a sense of unease in his heart. Although he had already submitted the application to the head office, the process was not progressing due to his impatience. The five hundred thousand was indeed his own money

This situation, where one's reaction time is significantly improved through personal effort and training, has made those who have not succeeded even more excited and driven to practice frantically

four hours

Due to the fact that many people's initial experiences last only a few seconds, or even just over ten seconds, a single card has been used many times, totaling one thousand four hundred experiences

Even if those people describe it inaccurately, finding a couple more individuals can easily accomplish it

In that case, how much does it cost to purchase this card

As a programmer, he is well aware of how many small companies in previous lives have gone out of business due to their ideas being plagiarized and their products being copied

Little fellow

Qian Shengcai stated very straightforwardly

However, upon careful consideration, I still feel somewhat dissatisfied

Outside the door, a round and plump figure squeezed in

In light of this comparison, who would still seek out Lu Ming

At this moment, Lu Ming became rather calm.

The imitation of Fruit Ninja was anticipated, and he had already made preparations for it. That is why he produced three hundred copies within ten days, all aimed at selling them in one go

Lu Ming shrugged and said, "However, since the construction of Fruit Ninja is so simple, how long do you think it would take for those who have played Fruit Ninja to create one themselves?"

What is this concept

Good

Lu Ming fell silent for a moment, "Well, what about the official authorization? Although counterfeits are everywhere, you could say that this is the original creator, the official authorization! Moreover, I have some even better ideas that can enhance this card and provide everyone with a better experience"

Ah?

Although the illusion does not permit the use of energy, some individuals who have trained their physical qualities have already surpassed 100 and begun to set new records

Are you sick

Lu Ming inquired

Aren't you just intentionally causing trouble for others

Such a scene, how familiar it is

Hoo.
