Please make money.

A game with controls or plots, a complete movie without fast forwarding, a physical book that you read from beginning to end...

If she wants to make money, she has plenty of ways to train users into paying gold pigs - you know, there is no short video platform in China yet!

But she just doesn't want to. What's the point of making that kind of money?

Jiang Tianyi has not experienced the era when users like Alia were beaten by various algorithms. She herself was able to enjoy Tamagotchi after getting started. She actually gave a high price in her mind, but no matter how high it was, it would not be as high as 8000 million shipments.

1980 yen - or even if we round off the decimals, say 100 national yuan, multiply that by 8000 million units shipped, how much is that?

There is a market worth 80 billion yuan.

There are also toys in the category with sales of 80 billion yuan.

But the only single toy category with sales of 80 billion yuan is probably Lego, a building block.

"Miss Ai, you are exaggerating a bit, aren't you?" Jiang Tianyi's thoughts turned: "You just said 100 million US dollars. I can give you that much, but I have a request, that is, you have to give me the batch of goods in your hand, the copyright and permanent market license, plus the batch of spare goods, 100 million US dollars! In this way, everyone will praise you, Miss Ai, as an investment genius!"

"How can there be someone so good at investing?"

《Shocking! She actually used the unsold goods to directly exchange for 100 million US dollars!》

"The first business deal shocked the world, genius investor Alia made hundreds of millions of dollars!"

Alia ignored her. She wanted her goods? She also wanted the goods in her hands.

Although it is pirated, pirated products have their own uses...

"Ms. Jiang, as far as I know, you should have a batch of stock on hand. Is that why you came to me?"

"Yes, I also had my eyes on this project at the beginning, but unfortunately I failed to get the authorization, so I had to stock up in advance and it was a waste of money."

Jiang Tianyi lied with his eyes open, and it was clearly directed at Alia, but he insisted that he was too impatient and ended up eating hot tofu.

Alia didn't point it out: "How about selling your batch of goods to me?"

"...Miss Ai wants to take it back to the furnace for re-creation?"

“No, that would be expensive.”

"So you want to destroy it, so that I can't impact the legitimate market with my pirated identity?"

"Not really. I just plan to sell it directly."

"Puchi——" Jiang Tianyi covered his mouth and laughed, his mocking expression was obvious.

Several executives on both sides looked unhappy. What are you laughing at? What is it your business what my eldest daughter sells?

"Miss Ai, sometimes, doing business is not just based on personal preference. When selling goods, you need to focus on brand, channels, and stories..."

"It doesn't matter, I'm just a little punk, I just sell toys."

"Ms. Ai, how much do you plan to pay?"

"That's a lot." Alya held up a finger.

"One hundred million?"

"No, one dollar." Alia said seriously: "After this batch of goods is sold out, plus my spare stock is sold out, this dollar will be used to offset your purchase price of 100 million US dollars, Miss Jiang. For example, if you bid 300 million US dollars, then you will only need 200 million US dollars plus this dollar."

"…Do you think I would pay three hundred million dollars to buy the copyright and marketing license for a toy?"

"You will." Alia said seriously: "If this thing is so popular that it can eat up all your and my stocks, wouldn't you be tempted?"

"..." Jiang Tianyi narrowed his eyes, wondering what the other person was thinking.

What is the most frightening thing about doing business?

It's unknown!

When doing business, we are not afraid of competition, we are not afraid of internal competition, we are not afraid of everyone fighting each other, and we are not afraid of the blue ocean turning into a red ocean.

What we are afraid of is a dead sea - there is no market in the first place, and it is completely meaningless for everyone to fight with each other.

Why has the mobile phone market become so complicated, and why are there so many big companies beating people's brains into dog brains?

Why are there so many big Internet companies jumping into the electric car market when it’s almost going to collapse?

It is because these things can really be sold and there are people who want them - if there is money to be made, there will be people who will do it, and consumption has always determined the market.

The consumption that the market can create is actually very small, so small that it is impossible for Alia to sell out this thing by relying on temporary hype.

"What about the time? There has to be a time limit, right?"

"Three months." Alia thought for a moment and propped her chin up with one hand. "Do you want to sign a bet agreement? I've been enjoying this lately."

She signed the bet agreement not for the purpose of making money or anything else, but simply to see the possible consequences.

If there really was some world change that could give her a slap in the face, she would probably be quite surprised - it would be fun!

Jiang Tianyi tapped the armrest, smiled after a long moment, and stood up: "Anyway, it seems that we can't continue the conversation today."

"So Miss Jiang agreed?"

"Miss Ai, are you so sure that I will pay 300 million US dollars?"

"No more, no less." Alia shrugged. "At present, only you and I are watching this business. If you don't come, I will make all the money. It's more painful to watch others make money than to lose money yourself. I understand."

Why was she staring at Jiang Tianyi instead of someone else?

For example, Mr. Huo, why doesn’t Alia promote this thing to others?

Because Boss Huo doesn't care - he doesn't mind Alia making money - he would rather Alia make more money.

The more money you make now, the better it can be invested in other industrial sectors, thus supporting the Dongjiao Research Institute to continue spending money for a few more years.

Only Jiang Tianyi would not be willing to let Alia make money from the mellow food. Once it was confirmed that the expected future return of this thing was more than 300 million US dollars, she would grit her teeth and give it to Alia, even if it meant exchanging short-term cash for Alia's long-term returns.

After all, Arya's style is to spend recklessly and to the extreme, or to expand. The more cash she has in her hands, the more reckless she becomes. Who knows, one day her expansion may explode.

"Then Ms. Jiang, please arrange for transportation. Your batch of goods will be needed soon."

“We’ll see, but what if it doesn’t sell?”

"Then I'll calculate the money for you. You decide how much it is - do we need to sign an agreement?"

"..." Jiang Tianyi looked at Alia deeply and said, "No, you still have some credibility."

It must be said that although Alia is annoying, her credit is currently very valuable and her reputation has not yet collapsed.

So a verbal agreement was reached here.

Alia wanted to sell those pirated goods as genuine products, and most importantly, she couldn't lower the price.

The price cannot be lowered, there is no trademark, no genuine connection, it is just a castrated version of youth products, how can it be sold?

Jiang Tianyi couldn't figure it out, but she wanted to see if Alia really had the ability to sell the hat to the bald man.

Amidst this doubt, Tamagotchi continues to sell like hot cakes, and its popularity is reflected in people's crazy actions.

In order to fit in with the group, many students had no choice but to follow the trend and buy.

The original price of Tamagotchi was 1980 yen, but the price has been raised to nearly yen, and some limited editions have even been sold for tens of thousands of yen.

And it is obvious to the naked eye that it has not yet reached its peak. In today's books, Tamagotchi has already become a symbol of trend.

Whoever doesn't have Tamagotchi in his hand will be bullied. He will not be allowed to play with others because he can't read the air.

However, this trend seriously affected the daily teaching in schools. Voices against Tamagotchi began to emerge in society, and some people even began to boycott electronic toys.

And at this moment, Alia spoke——

"Let's have a TV debate! I put all my wealth there!"

Who are you? With all your wealth, how much money do you have?

The audience opened the newspaper in confusion and looked at the subheading: A 400 billion yen fortune, a right to be defended at the cost of one's reputation!

Oh—oh oh oh? !

207-The Deep Gaze of Anhe General Manager

Japanese people are very interested in TV debates and the like.

Of course, what I am more interested in is actually such a strange existence as Alia.

She is like Stark in the Marvel world. Before becoming Iron Man, she was a playboy, philanthropist, billionaire, etc.

Alia can use countless identities, but what attracts the most attention from the public is her net worth of 4 trillion yen.

When such a guy who shouldn't have been on the stage suddenly started a war of words with those promoters, the media immediately became excited.

"Weekly Fangchun" even wanted to book an exclusive interview with her, but it was not accepted. Alia only booked a TV debate a few days later.

After all, what she wants to do is to fight, not to become an internet celebrity.

"Have you found out who is behind this?"

"Well, there are many other toy manufacturers, including some people who are trying to take advantage of the traffic."

Aunt Zhou held the teacup and said, "Miss, there's no need for you to stand up and say anything to them. These guys only dare to talk nonsense behind your back."

This is a process that a product must go through after it comes out: being put on the market, sold, and then receiving good and bad reviews.

Friendly companies will do the blackmail, competing manufacturers will do the blackmail, and even some that have no interest relationship at all will try to take advantage of the situation to do the blackmail.

Of course there were also those who flattered her, but there was naturally no need for Alia to debate with them.

An Lele rolled up his sleeves and said, "These guys are so disrespectful to me? I'll kill them through the Internet!"

Alia ignored this simple-minded fool with strong limbs. Why should people give you face when doing business? They are not going to bite you.

When it comes to business competition, as long as it doesn't involve tricks like dump trucks, no matter how despicable the means of competition are, it is still called a strategy.

While others hired internet trolls to stir up trouble, didn’t Alia also stir up public opinion and cultivate the first batch of curious spectators?

"But we can't let the children get hurt." Alia supported her chin and said, "Don't talk about playing with toys every day. Is that reasonable?"

Playing games is just a waste of time, so in the era without games, everyone must have loved studying, right?

It's so funny, but it's not funny enough. Whether it's education or development, children should never be put under pressure like this.

Alia had no intention of giving this wave of public opinion a chance to gain momentum. From the very beginning, she was prepared to take up the banner and provide a safe haven for the children.

She still has to sell game consoles in the future. If she keeps giving face to those guys here, won't she have to retreat until she is out of sight?

Aunt Zhou didn't say anything. She was an old-fashioned parent and didn't have a very good opinion of games and toys.

But no matter how bad it is, it has not reached the point of demonization, not to mention that it is our own eldest daughter who is selling these.

But compared to these trivial matters, she was more worried about Alia showing up in public.

Prime Minister Lei had previously communicated with the eighteen shareholders, and everyone was unanimous in that they were not willing for Alia to be the first to take action.

Chinese people believe in doing things quietly, talking less and doing more. The more wealth they achieve, the more low-key they become and the more careful they are in what they say and do.

Although this happened overseas, but with Alia's attitude, wouldn't she become popular overseas?

Aunt Zhou looked at her eldest daughter and once again sighed that girls change a lot when they grow up.

If I were a few decades younger and saw a sister like this, I would also be moved, right?

She thought that since Arya's mother, her elder sister, no one had ever been able to combine the youthful heroism and androgynous nobleness in one person.

But now she saw it again - Ailia was sitting sideways by the window, with one hand on her chin, her posture was lazy, but it was as if her whole body was covered with a layer of light, dazzling.

When she accompanied her elder sister on an errand, she once met an admirer of her elder sister. Even though he knew that she was married and had a daughter, he didn't care.

She asked curiously why, but the other party's answer was even more surprising than her - why? That was Lu Wuxia!

Maybe twenty years from now, there will be a generation of little fans who will wonder why—why—that’s Arya!

Just as I was thinking about it, my daughter and sister Yu came in, dragging two big bags.

"Miss, it's another letter."

"All of them?" Aunt Zhou looked at the letters in surprise: "Are they all the same as the previous ones, letters from fans? But the eldest daughter hasn't made her debut yet!"

"After all, it's been on the headlines for so many days, not to mention that they've announced they're going to debate on TV. Maybe they think the celebrity effect will be there."

"But these..."

"These are letters from children who bought Tamagotchi. Well, not just children, there are also letters from adults."

Ailia picked up a few of them. In fact, this thing is more like a questionnaire return. The users of this notebook like to read magazines and also like to do this kind of questionnaire-style letter return.

Of course, Alia didn't conduct a questionnaire survey. At least so far, these thousands of letters are all from fans.
