Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

As the Rubik's Cube auditions continue to deepen, results from various places are also being released. The preparations for the first time were not very complete. The quotas for each city had already been allocated and were decided based on the sales volume of the Rubik's Cube. Unless the results enter the finals directly.

Heiyun Group and its partners are fully cooperating with the audition and final quota calculation. The most serious one here is Casio Co., Ltd. At first, they just thought this was a good opportunity to build awareness, but they didn't expect that many families with contestants would order timers directly.

But the patent was in the hands of Heiyun, and they finally negotiated with Heiyun to purchase the patent license at a price of US$2 per unit. The Rubik's Cube timer has sold more than 400,000 units around the world, and the most important thing is to open up the European market, which was completely unimaginable before.

In order to take good care of young players in the Rubik's Cube competition, it is stipulated that those under 14 years old can be accompanied by a parent to Boston; the expenses will be borne by Heiyun Group. It was also stipulated that all players would be led by Heiyun Group employees to fly to Boston after gathering in the capitals of each country. Bao Zixuan was also afraid of problems along the way.

Mark Lauren and Jennifer Lauren have become stars in the school these days. They took the note given by Bao Zixuan and went to Heiyun Group the next day. A supervisor from the marketing department received them and gave them a formal volunteer authorization certificate for the first Black Cloud Rubik's Cube Competition. With this authorization letter, they could recruit 30 volunteers.

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

The broadcasting rights of the first Black Cloud Rubik's Cube Competition finals were acquired by ABC TV station for US$2 million. After all, many people did not expect the project to be so popular when planning it. ABC only signed the contract because of the face of Transformers.

However, it turns out that ABC once again missed the mark. Obtaining the broadcast rights at such a low price can drive more than 30 million viewers in North America.

At present, it seems that all the people and companies participating in this activity have gained benefits, and now we are waiting for the finals to arrive.

On May 30, players from Asia and Europe arrived one after another. The most noteworthy ones here are RB's player Yingzi and Germany's Hanke. They were among the earlier batch to enter. Yingzi, a cute little girl, is one of the few. One of the most female players.

They wore competition uniforms with the finals of Heiyun's first Rubik's Cube Competition printed on them, and had already accepted people's farewells and interviews with the media when they set off from their home countries.

But when I arrived in Boston, I felt that the scene in my home country was too simple. Heiyun Group was originally trying to make a name for itself as a toy company. Unexpectedly, not only did the Rubik's Cube sell well, but many brands lined up to sponsor it. .

Why are you so polite? From the airport to the competition venue, all the advertisements can be sold. The advertising revenue alone has already paid for itself.

This is only due to the lack of entertainment in this era, otherwise a children's Rubik's Cube competition would be far from getting so much attention.

But these have nothing to do with Bao Zixuan. He is now looking at the player performance report. There are 48 people, and the rest are quotas determined based on sales in each region. It was worse than I imagined. Times have changed, and the preparation time was 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. Once there is a problem with these players, all the media around the world will give Heiyun Spray to death. In order to avoid suspicion that something like this happened, Bao Zixuan sent out all the company's security guards to patrol the hotel and competition venues.

The finals were held at the MIT Basketball Stadium, and the 5,000 tickets were quickly sold out except for reserved seats. Not only the students of the school, but also many parents of American contestants came to cheer for their children. .

Bao Zixuan had just come out of the competition venue. He wanted to check the layout of the venue. At this time, he saw the same girl as Martin Grieve walking towards him.

Martin Grieve 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 can go in with me."

Martin-Griff: "I don't have a girlfriend! Can you give me a few more?"

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

However, his girlfriend who had not talked to him for half a month suddenly found him and found out that he was Bao Zixuan's roommate. It would be too embarrassing if this matter could not be resolved.

Bao Zixuan was actually very happy to hear this. It was not because of Martin-Griff's girlfriend problem, but because the Rubik's Cube competition could actually bring a pair of nominally male and female friends who had not contacted each other for a long time to get in touch again. This is the influence of the competition, 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 four people from Panasonic Miyuki's dormitory were waiting for him in the reception room. Fortunately, the employees of Heiyun Group knew them.

Bao Zixuan has not seen these four girls since the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Show. The sudden visit today must be because of something to do with him. Could it be that they are also here to ask for tickets.

Bao Zixuan entered the reception room and sat down and said to them: "Hello, beautiful ladies! I haven't seen you for a long time. You are here today..."

At this time, seeing everyone looking at Miyuki Matsushita, Miyuki Matsushita, who knew she couldn't run away, said: "We want to go to watch the Rubik's Cube competition, but I don't know if it is convenient for Zixuan Junfang to sell me some tickets."

Bao Zixuan: "There are not many tickets left, there are only 5,000 in total, but you can still enter in the name of the staff of Heiyun Group. You don't have to do anything this time. You just need to sit next to the players to prevent them from fouling and making the most mistakes."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that a small competition could cause such a big sensation, leading to many problems that were underestimated. 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 born a capitalist. Why do they have to work hard every time to get what they want?

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

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

Hearing this, everyone except Matsushita Miyuki wanted to sit near the rostrum. Matsushita Miyuki was afraid that Bao Zixuan would be embarrassed. After all, he couldn't figure out the relationship between them. I didn’t know how to express and face it, so in the end, Miyuki Matsushita had to sit with them under the instigation of other roommates. These rich girls didn’t want to work part-time for Bao Zixuan anymore.

When the four of them were sent away, Bao Zixuan was also thinking, how could a small competition attract so much attention! It's covered all over the world, and many college students in Boston love to watch the kids play.

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

The lack of spiritual culture made the first Rubik's Cube Competition increase its influence and exposure with its terrifying diffusion ability. This is something both Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan like to see.
