Chapter 118： game influence

With the continuous deepening of the Rubik's Cube audition, the results of various places are also released one after another. The preparation for the first time was not very sufficient. The quota for each city has already been allocated, which is determined according to the sales volume of Rubik's Cube. Unless the score is within 6 seconds, you can directly advance to the finals.

The Black Cloud Group and its partners are fully cooperating with the audition and the final quota statistics. The most serious one here is Casio Co., Ltd. At first they just thought it was a good opportunity to make a name for themselves, but they didn't expect many families with contestants to order the timers directly.

However, the patent was in the hands of Heiyun, and they finally negotiated with Heiyun to purchase the patent license at a price of $2 per unit. More than 400,000 cube timers have been sold around the world, and the most important thing is to open the European market, which was completely unimaginable before.

In order to take good care of the little players in the Rubik's Cube competition, it is stipulated that under the age of 14 can be accompanied by a parent to Boston; the cost will be borne by the Black Cloud Group. It also stipulated that all players would be led by Heiyun Group employees to fly to Boston after gathering in the capitals of various countries. Bao Zixuan was also afraid of problems in the middle.

These days, Mark Lauren and Jennifer Lauren have become stars in the school. They took the note from Bao Zixuan and went to the Black Cloud Group the next day. And a supervisor of the marketing department received them and gave them the regular certificate of authorization for volunteers of the first Black Cloud Cube Competition. They can recruit 30 volunteers with this authorization letter.

Many children who want to participate in the Rubik's Cube competition but are not strong enough want to be volunteers, so that they can watch the competition on the spot. Otherwise, you can only watch live TV at home.

The broadcasting rights of the first Black Cloud Cube Competition finals were acquired by abc TV station at a price of 2 million US dollars. After all, many people did not expect the project to be so popular at the time of planning. ABC also only signed the contract in the face of Transformers.

However, it turns out that abc has missed it again. They can drive more than 30 million viewership ratings in North America by getting the broadcast rights at such a low price.

At present, it seems that all the people and companies participating in this activity have all benefited, and now they are waiting for the finals.

Players from Asia and Europe arrived one after another on May 30th. The most noteworthy here are RB's Yingzi and Germany's Hanke. They were the first batch to enter within 6 seconds, especially Yingzi's appearance. The cute little girl is one of the few female contestants.

They were wearing uniforms printed with the finals of the first Black Cloud Rubik's Cube Competition, and they had already accepted people's farewells and media interviews when they set off in their home countries.

But when I arrived in Boston, I felt that the scene when we set out in our country was too simple. The Black Cloud Group was originally trying to make a name for the toy company. I didn’t expect that not only the sales of Rubik’s Cube were so good, but also many brands lined up to sponsor .

What's more polite, from the airport to the competition venue, all the advertisements that can be sold are sold. Advertising revenue alone has paid for itself.

This is only due to the lack of entertainment in this era, otherwise a child's Rubik's Cube competition would not have achieved so much attention.

But none of this has anything to do with Bao Zixuan. He is now looking at the player's performance report. There were 48 people who were directly promoted within 6 seconds, and the rest were determined according to the sales volume of each region. It's worse than I imagined, the times are different, and the preparation time is shorter.

The oldest player is 17 years and 284 days old, and the youngest player is 12 years and 123 days old. These are all underage players. Heiyun Group has invested a lot of money in security this time. If there is a problem with these players, all the media in the world will give Heiyun to him. spray to death. In order to avoid such a thing happening, Bao Zixuan sent all the company's security guards out to patrol the hotel and the competition venue.

The finals were placed in the basketball hall of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The 5,000 tickets were quickly sold out except for the reserved seats. Not only the students of this school but also the parents of many American contestants bought the tickets to cheer for their children. .

Bao Zixuan had just come out of the stadium. He wanted to check the layout of the stadium. At this time, he saw Martin Griff and the same girl walking towards him.

Martin Griff said to Bao Zixuan, "Bao, do you still have the tickets for that game?"

Bao Zixuan: "Didn't I give it to you! Why did you lose it? Then you go in with me."

Martin Griff: "I don't have a girlfriend! Can you give me some pictures?"

In fact, Martin was not very willing to ask Bao Zixuan for tickets. After all, everyone in the dormitory gave one, and there were only 5,000 tickets in total. Now, it is difficult to get one ticket.

But after half a month, his girlfriend suddenly found him and knew that he was Bao Zixuan's roommate. It would be a shame if this matter could not be settled.

Bao Zixuan is actually very happy to hear this, not because of the problem of Martin-Griff's girlfriend, but because the Rubik's Cube game can actually make a pair of male and female friends who have not been in contact for a long time contact again. This is the influence of the game, and After giving Martin two tickets, Bao Zixuan returned to the company.

This was just a small episode, but Bao Zixuan had just returned to the company and found that the four people in Panasonic Miyuki's dormitory were actually waiting for him in the reception room. Fortunately, the employees of Heiyun Group knew them.

Bao Zixuan hadn't seen these four girls since the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition ended. He must have something to do with him when he suddenly came to the door today. Did he also come to ask for tickets?

After Bao Zixuan entered the reception room and sat down, he said to them, "How are you all beauties! It's been a long time since I've seen it, I'm here today,,,,"

At this time, seeing that everyone was looking at Matsushita Miyuki, Matsushita Miyuki, who knew that she couldn't escape, said, "We want to watch the Rubik's Cube game, but I don't know that it is inconvenient for Zixuan Junfang to sell me a few tickets."

Bao Zixuan: "There are not many tickets, there are only 5,000 tickets in total, but you can still enter in the name of the staff of the Black Cloud Group, you don't have to do anything this time, just sit next to the players to prevent them from fouling and cheating~www .novelhall.com~Bao Zixuan did not expect that a small game could cause such a big sensation, leading to underestimation of many problems. Now it seems that the broadcast rights and advertising fees are really cheap.

Unexpectedly, even Boston College students want to watch the game now. It seems that the next event can make the scene bigger; maybe the Lego building competition is an opportunity.

When Danny Green heard that he had to work again, he wondered if Bao Zixuan was a natural capitalist. Why does he have to work hard every time to get what he wants!

Danny Green: "We still want to go to the auditorium to experience the atmosphere of the game, so we still want a few tickets."

Bao Zixuan: "Okay! There are still a few vacancies near the rostrum. If you want to watch, you can only sit there."

I heard that everyone except Matsushita Miyuki wanted to sit in the area near the rostrum. Matsushita Miyuki was afraid that Bao Zixuan would be embarrassed. After all, he couldn't figure out the relationship between them. Not knowing how to express and face it, in the end, Miyuki Matsushita had to sit with them at the encouragement of other roommates. These rich girls didn't want to work for Bao Zixuan any longer.

When the four of them were sent away, Bao Zixuan was also thinking, how could a small game attract so much attention! It is reported all over the world, and many college students in Boston enjoy watching kids play.

In fact, there are many major competitions in the world in the 21st century, and people's requirements for programs and events will increase accordingly. At that time, not to mention the children's competitions, even the adult competitions were not watched.

The lack of spiritual culture made the first Rubik's Cube Competition; with the ability to spread terror, it was increasing its influence and exposure. This is what both Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan like to see.
