Chapter 248 Transcript of the eldest son
"I'm not a stupid girl!"
Dora's angrily rebuttal had no effect at all, and could only bring more joy to Evan.
He got home first, took a shower and changed his clothes, Virginia came down from the upstairs. Seeing this situation, she smiled and said, "Dora, you deserve it."
Dora snorted and shouted: "Ignore you!"
As she said that, she stepped aside her short legs and ran to the kitchen to complain to Nina.
After a while, Nina, who was peeling potatoes, was dragged to the living room by Dora, pointing to Evan, who was chatting with Dorothy, and said, "Mom, this is the man who bullies me and teaches him a lesson."
Nina glanced at Evan, and Evan also happened to look at her. After the two of them looked at each other, they nodded to each other.
"Hi, Nina, do you want help?"
Evan's greeting was not like a son who had just arrived home for a few months. He seemed to have been secretly out for a day and returned home to try to please his mother.
Nina waved her hand and said, "No. I've been in the car for a day, go take a shower first and have a rest."
Then she looked at Dora, "Since you don't practice the piano, come and help, Virginia, you will come too."
"Ah?" Dora, who failed to help the rescue, broke herself in, was extremely sad.
"What, hurry up."
Nina said nothing, dragged Dora into the kitchen instead. Virginia did not resist Nina's order and said, "I'll blow my hair first and come soon."
Evan and Dorothy looked at each other, and Dorothy's eyes were filled with a smile that was about to overflow.
"Dora, this fool, is doing stupid things again, Dorothy, don't imitate her." Evan touched Dorothy's head and said gloatingly: "Now, let's continue talking about your performances on campus open day. I heard that you are making a big splash."
Dorothy said shyly: "No! Brother, you are tired, go take a shower quickly, I'll help Dora."
After saying that, Dorothy ran away with her little skirt.
Only Robert and Evan remained in the living room.
Evan looked at Robert who was sorting out the chessboard and storming the chess pieces and frowned, "By the way, you seem to have never called me since I entered the house."
Robert raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Guian, Evan, who bullied his sister as soon as he came back."
After saying that, Robert put the chessboard into the cabinet under the TV, and then went up the stairs as if he was running away.
He was indeed running away because after hearing his greetings, Evan looked furious, "It would be fine if he didn't call his brother, but he actually... huh? You dare to run away and stop!"
In the kitchen, when he heard the sound outside, Nina smiled softly. After seeing it, Dora asked, "Mommy, what are you laughing at?"
"nothing……"
...
The next day, Rola Cafe, not far from the official residence.
Several executives of Magic Seven Company received the notice and gathered here.
Evan wanted to meet them and chat with them casually, but he didn't want to go to the company, so he found this place.
Evan knew clearly about the development of Magic Seven Company this year. To be honest, if we only look at the turnover, the executives of Magic Seven Company could have a happy ending this year and get the bonus with peace of mind.
Magic Seven's pillar business is plastic toys with Rubik's Cube as its main product, but now that Rubik's Cube is in its third year of listing, the market has entered a stable period. Even though the Rubik's Cube competition is still hot this summer, local sales have dropped to less than 1 million pieces per month (data in December this year). With the export of 400,000 to Europe, Rubik's Cube's monthly sales are only about 4 million, and its net profit is more than 1 million.
In addition to Rubik's Cube, the plastic toy that MagicBlock is mainly promoted by MagicBlock. Since MagicBlock went public, under the auspices of R&D Director Ronald, it has been constantly innovating. Not only is it more playable, but it is even lighter and safer than traditional wooden building blocks due to material reasons. The only disadvantage is that the price is slightly higher. But it is precisely because of this that MagicBlock's promotion has been difficult. Although the company has spent a lot of energy and financial resources, the sales volume of building blocks in the past month is only US$2 million, and the net profit is less than 300,000 because of the concessions to channel merchants. However, with this strong support, MagicBlock's sales growth curve is very good. According to this trend, MagicBlock's management is confident that after the decline in popularity of MagicBlock, MagicBlock will replace it as a new pillar product.
In addition to toys, Magic Seven's second largest product line is office supplies, Post-it Post-it Post-it. This child's palm-sized thing was launched at the beginning of this year. For more than half a year, the Post-it Post-it was spreading in an orderly manner in the three major urban agglomerations of Boston-Washington, Chicago-Pittsburgh, and San Francisco-San Diego, and sales were lukewarm. Just when Magic Seven thought that Post-it Post-it is out of schedule this year and was preparing to increase its promotion efforts next year, the second half of the year was almost the end of the election, and the post-it market suddenly ushered in a high growth, with monthly sales growing from the original highest of only $300,000 to the latest (December) of $600,000. According to market department surveys, this number will continue to grow rapidly in the future.
The third largest product line of Magic Seven Company is entertainment products, including Plane Walker Home cards and publishing houses. As for the chain retail store Magic Home, due to its size, it has been temporarily classified into the sales department and is not listed separately.
Since the original series was released in July last year, the second series was launched at the second Rubik's Cube Competition in August this year. The card pool has more than doubled and the gameplay has been further improved. After the second series was launched, Magic Seven Company officially launched the official weekend championship, and the competition venue was located in the "Magic House" everywhere. Soon after, the second part of the official background novel was launched immediately.
In the year that is about to end, Magic Seven Company sold more than 16 million cards, and the number of directly operated "Magic House" reached 78, with nearly 100,000 active players. These players contributed about 3 million in revenue and 300,000 novels.
As for publishing houses, in addition to publishing business, their main business is to operate the new bimonthly magazine "Fantasy World" and the comic magazine "Fantasy Future". These businesses are not large in size and their profits are negligible. However, because they have made several new writers famous and planned to prepare for the Nebula Award, the publishing house's reputation in the industry has increased a lot.
In summary, in the past year, Magic Seven Company has achieved a total turnover of US$102 million and a profit of US$14.52 million. The profit figure is not small, but Evan can spend not much, and most of the profits are spent on new production lines and new equipment.
