Before the New Year last year, Kojiro, who sensed business opportunities in the Galar region, ordered large quantities of Galar-related peripheral products and rented several warehouses to store them.
He did not sell immediately, but quietly waited for the opportunity.
Holding back on goods was also the reason why he was unable to give Luther too much money in the New Year.
Meowth and Musashi didn't know what Kojiro was waiting for, but Kojiro's determination often brought unexpected benefits, so they pretended that the goods in the warehouse did not exist.
Let Kojiro wait, starting in February, the Galar region began its own publicity campaign to promote the new gym leader.
This wave of offensive also brought about the trend of Galar elements, and anyone who has anything to do with the Galar region is loved by the people.
The people with the highest purchasing power are not the trainers, but the people who like to fight.
The target customers of all Kojiro's products are people who like to fight.
"Sirona or Dandi, who is the champion in your heart?"
With such a sign, after putting Sirona and Dandi related products in the store, the counter next to the two people's names became an artifact to stimulate consumption.
Kojiro knew very well that everyone was simply selling celebrity merchandise, and only by provoking topics and debates could he maximize his profits. This move successfully emptied the warehouse and increased profits six times.
When everyone wanted a piece of the pie, Kojiro immediately withdrew. This kind of marketing method that teases the nerves of both parties can easily lead to strange off-site factors.
Kojiro agrees with what Mai said to him at the Suzuran Conference, that quick money often means risks, and it is safest to run away as soon as you eat it.
As expected, large businesses that continued to use this kind of ring marketing tactics later began to be boycotted and blocked by fans, but the Rockets trio had already escaped.
The first batch of funds was invested by Kojiro into custom-made products with Galar elements.
A cup is printed with regular Kirbymon and Gigantamax Kirbymon. It seems to be a very simple design, but it is well received.
Ordinary people are very unfamiliar with Dynamaxing, and the emergence of this element has been sought after by more and more people.
Ordinary cups only cost about ten alliance coins, but cups printed with Dynamax and Galar elements can cost more than eight times.
Standing on the cusp of this wave of trends, the Rockets trio make as much money as they do every day.
When they first started doing business, Miao Miao and Musashi were always very unhappy. They either missed their hot air balloon or missed every bit of the journey.
There was a time when Meowth and Musashi even had to be next to a hot air balloon to fall asleep.
But they did feel the joy of normal life.
There is no police pursuit, no starvation due to money issues, and no need to worry every day and think hard about how to deal with crises in the wild.
Regular work and rest, and the pleasure of eating whatever they wanted for three meals a day gradually calmed the restless hearts of the three of them.
What makes the trio feel most at ease are two things.
One is the invitation message Luther sent early before the New Year.
Before that, the trio had learned that during the New Year, many regional champions and kings would go to the island to party.
Even though Kojiro came from a wealthy family, he had never seen such an occasion.
After years of wandering around, Kojiro has long forgotten the taste of parties and banquets, and formally receiving invitations is a distant memory.
Luther and Mai have never regarded them as people with criminal records. They still have a place in such important occasions.
In the end, they did not choose to go to Qidao to participate in the annual meeting. One reason was because they were not suitable for that kind of occasion, and the other reason was that everyone was closed during the New Year, which was a good time for official sales.
The second thing is related to Mai.
Luther left all the business matters in the hands of Mai. Logically speaking, Mai had the right to interfere with their actions.
What the trio was most worried about when they agreed to cooperate with Luther was that they would be criticized, which would make them very uncomfortable.
However, such a thing never happened, and Mai didn't even ask what they were doing.
So far, the communication between Kojiro and Mai has been limited to reporting accounts and sending lists. Other than that, Mai has not asked or ignored anything.
Mai has not forgotten them. During the holidays, her store in Binhai City would be knocked open by courier boys who would bring in large and small packages of various gifts.
Mai also understands the principle of not trusting people when you employ them and not using them when you are suspicious.
Very relaxed, very comfortable, and very free, this is the feeling of working with Luther.
Without being overly restrained and doing what they wanted to do, the trio gradually broke away from their past identities and adapted to their new life.
"Sure enough, weng, tie it tighter. I've told you several times. If it's not tightened, accidents may occur during transportation."
As he spoke, Musashi packed the last product in his hand.
"Hey, I'm talking about Kojiro." Musashi looked at the goods that were about to be sent out and asked, "We have been making quick money, and your judgment is very accurate, why don't you continue?"
"Meow thinks we can continue. Why don't we do it after selling this batch?" Meow asked, "Luther and Mai are actually nice people. You don't want to leave, do you?"
Kojiro shook his index finger: "Who said you were leaving? Where can I find someone like Luther who doesn't ask what you do, but just spends money to support you?"
"We are too small and have made a lot of quick money, but compared to those behemoths, we are still not big enough. Now there are many big players on the market that have come out to seize the Galar element."
"Although I am confident that I will continue to snatch food from their mouths, the profits have become lower and I don't bother to do it."
Kojiro clenched his fist and said: "I want to be long-term, with steady flow of money, and stable income. Once the short-term quick money is lost, it will be a huge loss. Fortunately, there have been no mistakes in the past few months, otherwise I don't know how to report it to Mai."
"This time Luther returns to Qidao, I will explain my plan to him clearly and apply for a large amount of funds." Kojiro said with confidence.
Musashi's eyes widened: "We now have nearly 8 million in funds on our books. Isn't this enough?"
"I want a few more million to be prepared."
"What is your plan? Why have I never heard of you? Tell me quickly." Musashi asked urgently.
Kojiro smiled slightly: "Since the market for Galar elements in Sinnoh will be nearly saturated in the future, why can't we do the opposite?"
"The people of Sinnoh know very little about the Galar region, and the people of the Galar region also know little about Sinnoh. Now it's time for us to go to Galar to make money."
"Let them continue to grab the cakes that will be divided by the giants, and we will eat the cakes that are still left." Kojiro laughed.
