Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 7 Overnight

Hakan was furious.

It's okay that Ben just reads comics, children are always playful, so he is also responsible for not supervising him closely.

He should have focused more on his family, which was his greatest hope of becoming a noble.

But Ben actually bought toys secretly. He has played with all kinds of toys since he was a child, but now he actually buys other people’s toys!

"You are already twelve years old. When I was your age, I had already started earning money to support the family!"

"Aren't you selling toys too? Why can't I play with them?"

"Your task now is to study hard. You will have plenty of time to play in the future."

"You're just jealous that other people make toys better than you do!"

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap.

Several red marks immediately appeared on Ben's little face. Perhaps it was fear, or perhaps it was anger. His body trembled slightly and tears welled up in his eyes, but he did not cry out loud. He kept looking directly into his father's eyes.

For some reason, Hakan felt a little uneasy when his son looked at him, but out of his dignity as a father, he did not back down. He confiscated the newspaper and yo-yo and let Ben reflect on himself in the room.

The carefully prepared dinner tasted boring.

He finished his meal quickly and went into the study.

In fact, he didn't read much, but every noble family had a study, so he had to have one too. Several cabinets full of books cost quite a lot of money.

Open the bottle of liquor, fill the glass, and drink it all in one gulp.

The wine seller had told him what the aromas of the wine were like in the front, middle, back and aftertaste, but he couldn't remember any of them and couldn't taste them.

Picking up the newspaper that was torn into several pieces, he wanted to see what was making Ben so obsessed that he didn't want to eat.

A supplementary edition of the "Fire Boy King" collection.

The entire newspaper was filled with this content, and I roughly understood that this was a collection of cartoons published throughout the week.

"He really knows how to do business."

In his opinion, the content of this comic is no different from those popular novels about adventurers, mages, and knights, except that the staffs and swords are replaced with yo-yos.

Without the condiments like elves, demons, nuns and princesses, it would be even more boring and not many people would like it.

Feeling a little relieved, I put the newspaper aside and started to think.

Drogo's toy store business isn't very good, but the solution he came up with is quite good.

Making up a story for a toy and publishing it in a newspaper is much more effective than using dry promotional slogans or posting posters all over the streets.

Someone should be hired to write stories for Arkwright's toys, and even better, the troupe could put on a few plays.

The bards sang the stories, and the stories were printed and spread across the continent. Arkwright toys were also sold across the continent.

When he makes a lot of money and funds an army for the Pope, he will be immediately made a noble. By then, all the petty nobles in the city will have to pay their respects to him when they see him.

You don't have to study all day, just do whatever you want.

Thinking of the excitement, I poured another glass of wine.

Take another look at the two yo-yos on the table.

"That's all, I'm actually angry about such a crap thing."

After trying to swing it a few times, I was sure that the moves in the comics could not be used. Even if they were real, a child would not be able to learn them.

He has been selling toys for so many years, doesn’t he know what level of difficulty children can accept?
Perhaps because he had a few glasses of wine, he slept very soundly that night.

When he woke up, it was almost noon. As a responsible store manager, he still had to go to the toy store to check.

After making sure that Drogo's Toy Store wouldn't cause any trouble, I was in a good mood, so I chose to walk there.

He was used to carrying some candies with him and giving them to children playing on the street. The children nearby also knew him. To be honest, he quite liked children.

Not far ahead, there was a group of young boys gathered together.

"What are you doing?"

"Arguing over who's going to play Liffey, Uncle Hakan."

Liffey? Who is that? Is he another legendary hero in some new story? I seem to have heard of him somewhere.

"Oh, so how did you fight? You won't fight, right? That's not good for kids."

"Of course not, let's play ball." Hakan didn't quite understand what playing ball was. Maybe it was another newly invented game.

"lift!"

"Around the world!"

"Lightning strike!"

"Wow! He can actually strike with lightning speed!"

As they shouted out the names of the moves with conviction, dazzling illusions appeared in the air.

Hakan's eyes suddenly widened.

This is a yo-yo!
Why is it different from what he tried last night?
Lifei, Lifei, is the protagonist of Fire Boy King!

He didn't care about the composure of an adult and squeezed in among the children. He took a look at what they were holding. It was a Firefighter, exactly the same as Ben's.

Many people were holding yo-yos in their hands.

What's going on? There were few customers at Drogo's Toy Store yesterday.

He was a little panicked for a moment, and quickly called a carriage and headed straight for Cornflower Street.

Before seeing their own sign, they saw the long line outside Drogo's Toy Store.

why?
He couldn't understand it. Years of experience told him that toys should accumulate word of mouth little by little and become popular gradually. How could they suddenly become a best-seller?

Of course, he couldn't have imagined that "Fire Teen King" was reaching its climax where Li Fei defeated his opponent in school.

Moreover, today is a holiday and most of the schools in the city are boarding schools. The students who had been locked up for a week and could only read comics were finally released.

Hakan walked hurriedly into Arkwright's toy store and almost lost his temper as soon as he entered.

There were not many customers in the store, only my younger brother was playing with his yo-yo. When he saw Hakan, he said excitedly, "How did they come up with this idea? The moves in the comics are really useful, and there are illusions. It turns out that the comic book is a textbook with a plot..."

"Stop playing for now."

"Look, walking the dog!"

A white puppy ran along the path of the yo-yo, and Karaman chased after it, laughing happily.

Hakan felt upset when he thought about how he had just taunted Drogo in his shop yesterday. Now the two sides had reversed, and he didn't know how the other side would taunt him back.

After walking around the store twenty times, he finally managed to calm himself down.

After careful analysis, there is only one toy, the yo-yo, which is too single category. People tend to get tired of the old and love the new, so they will get bored with it sooner or later.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of Arkwright's Toy Store is its business with the aristocracy. These people not only want toys that are fun, but also want them to be exquisite and unique. Yo-yos cannot take away this business.

Let them be happy for two days.

At this moment, the shop door opened.

Hakan looked over and immediately put on a flattering smile, bowed and walked forward, "Master Craig, you are here. What kind of toys do you want this time? Our latest design..."

"Do you have a yo-yo?" Craig asked eagerly before Hakan finished speaking.

The Craig family is considered a very powerful and prestigious family in the entire country. It has top-level magic construction technology on the continent, has trained many high-level wizards and priests, and also controls several ports in the Twin Towers City.

Of course, what’s more important is that Master Craig spends hundreds of gold coins in Arkwright every year.

"Well, let me introduce you to the new products launched this quarter..."

"I want a yo-yo! Don't you understand?"

"Yes, yes, but..."

The little servant beside him also ignored Hakan and said, "Master, didn't I tell you that only Drogo's Toy Store sells yo-yos?"

"But, but, their yo-yos are too cheap, only selling for a few dozen copper coins, which is not suitable for my status."

"I heard they can also customize yo-yos."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Craig immediately became happy, but a little conflicted, "But you also know that we are not allowed to mention Drogo at home..."

"Alas, they can't really have a dragon, and Drogo is a toy. This is humiliating it. You will surely be able to defeat it in the future just like playing with a toy."

"Yes! I will definitely be able to defeat Drogo when I grow up!"

Craig bounded out of Arkwright's and ran across the street without even looking at Hakan.

Hakan bowed as he saw them out of the store and didn't look up for a long time. He had lost his last layer of barrier.
