Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed

With an acquaintance as a matchmaker, things are much easier. After a brief chat with the other party, Taro Jouno soon came up with a preliminary idea for a deal.

Especially when the other party heard that Taro Jouno wanted to customize a mechanical doll, his attitude became more enthusiastic.

When Taro Jouno mentioned that it would take some time to raise funds and that he couldn't pay the full amount immediately, the other party readily said that it was no problem and that he only needed to pay a 30% advance payment in the early stage.

Taro Jouno was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly agreed with the other party to discuss the details in a coffee shop a week later.

In order to be less rushed and leave some time for himself to do bounty tasks to earn extra money, he deliberately chose such a time, and the other party readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Taro Jouno looked at Dr. Agasa curiously: "President Shiraishi, do you have a good relationship with Dr. Agasa? Why is he so enthusiastic towards me?"

Dr. Agasa scratched his head and said a little confusedly: "Ah? Not very good, I have only worked with him twice."

Ai Huihara on the side interrupted: "Maybe it's because you customized an expensive mechanical doll, not a cheap plush toy."

"Oh, so that's it!" Taro Jouno understood immediately. Yes, the mechanical doll he wanted to customize had to be equipped with a camera and a microphone, and it had to be able to access the Internet and charge. How could a few pieces of cloth compare to this? In terms of cost, a mechanical doll is at least ten times more than a plush toy. It is not difficult to understand why the other party was so enthusiastic.

"Grayhara is so smart!" A person beside her sighed, and then turned to ask Jionno Taro, "Brother Taro, can we buy Haku dolls in the coffee shop in the future?"

Jionno Taro smiled and nodded: "Yes, I checked, coffee shops can sell some dolls, I plan to sell Haku dolls here. As for the price, I haven't decided yet, I'll decide when the time comes."

"Great! I must buy one when the time comes, Haku is so cute!" Ayumi said excitedly.

Mitsuhiko also clenched his fists excitedly: "I want to buy it too! I want to exercise my reasoning ability through dolls! In the previous reasoning games, I basically relied on Conan to get the correct conclusion. This time I want to rely on myself!"

Yuanta touched his round belly and said that he was not interested in this. "I won't buy it. I'd better save the money to buy eel rice."

Huihara Ai calmly reminded: "I'll see when the time comes. Is it too much for you to order 1,000 at a time? Are you sure you can sell them all? Also, where do you plan to store so many dolls?"

"!!!" When Taro Jouno heard this, a trace of cold sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead. He really decided to make the mechanical Xiaobai on impulse and didn't consider the problem of warehousing at all.

Seeing Taro Jouno's silence, Ai Huihara's eyes couldn't help but turn into a half-moon shape: "Hey, you really haven't considered these issues, right?"

Huihara Ai felt speechless. The image of Taro Jouno, which was originally somewhat mysterious in her heart, collapsed instantly at this moment.

Dr. Agasa, Ayumi and the other two were also very surprised. They had seen Jionno Taro talking to the other party so smoothly before, and they thought that Jionno Taro had already made a thorough plan.

"Ah? Well, let's put it at home when the time comes. It shouldn't take up too much space..." Jionno Taro's words obviously lacked confidence.

Although Xiaobai is not big and can be put in an adult shoe box, problems arise when there are too many dolls. 1,000 dolls must fill up a room. Forget about the staff lounge of the cafe. Not to mention whether it can be stuffed, even if it can, you have to consider Enomoto Azusa's feelings. It's okay to put a dozen or twenty at ordinary times, but not so many.

Seeing the speechless eyes of the four children around him, Jionno Taro's brain began to work rapidly, trying to find a solution that would satisfy both sides.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Right! We can hold a lottery! Customers who spend a certain amount of money can draw a prize, and the first prize is a Xiaobai doll. What do you think?"

"This idea is good, but you have to calculate how much you need to spend to draw a prize, and how much the probability of winning should be controlled." Huiyuan Ai nodded, "In addition, other prizes must be prepared."

"Don't worry, these are all fine." Jiono Taro was full of confidence, and he left the calculation to Xiaobai. "As for the second and third prizes, we will give discount coupons! The second prize is 50% off, the third prize is 20% off, and there are some lucky prizes, such as 95% off..."

Jiono Taro became more and more excited as he spoke, feeling that he was simply a sales genius.

"Then if someone wins the second prize and offers to treat 100 people to coffee,What will you do? "Ai Haibara teased with her half-moon eyes.

Taro Jyouno was stunned, then scratched his head, but soon came up with a new solution: "Then change it to a discount coupon! Spend 2000 and get 1000 off, which is a 50% discount. The third prize is 500 off for 2000, which is equivalent to 25% off. The lucky prize is just a token, 100 off for 2000."

Ai Haibara nodded, expressing satisfaction: "Well, this is a good idea, and it can also make the winning customers become repeat customers. It's a good idea."

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta on the side looked at Ai Haibara with admiration, and Ayumi's eyes were almost full of stars: "Haibara-san is amazing! We didn't think of these!"

Mitsuhiko also echoed: "Yes, she is as smart as an adult! "

When Huihara Ai heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Oh no, am I acting too mature?"

She secretly glanced at Jionno Taro, and saw that he was discussing the intelligent design of the Hakuto doll with Dr. Agasa enthusiastically, and he didn't look at her with strange eyes, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few simple exchanges with Dr. Agasa, Jionno Taro readily agreed to the Junior Detective Team's request to take Hakuto to camp.

"It's okay to take Hakuto to camp, but you have to be careful. Don't let it touch water or fire, otherwise Hakuto may malfunction. Do you understand?" Jionno Taro said in a serious tone.

"Got it, Brother Taro!" The three little ones patted their chests and promised, their faces full of excitement.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Hakuto. "Dr. Agasa also promised with a smile.

Taro Jouno ignored Dr. Agasa's words and turned to the three children and said, "Also, you have to help me keep an eye on Dr. Agasa, don't let him dismantle Xiaobai, do you hear me?"

"No problem! We will keep a close eye on Dr. Agasa and will never let Xiaobai get hurt!" The three children said confidently, staring at Dr. Agasa with vigilant eyes.

Dr. Agasa was a little embarrassed by being stared at, and smiled and said, "Hey, don't be so nervous, right? Mr. Jouno, do you think I'm the kind of Frankenstein who will dismantle things casually?"

Seeing this scene, Huiyuan Ai on the side couldn't help but look at Taro Jouno twice more, secretly admiring his accurate judgment of people. When she went out, she did see Dr. Agasa quietly put a screwdriver in his trouser pocket.

"Hehe, just in case." Taro Jouno explained with a smile.
