Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

June 1, 1978, Children's Day, MIT Basketball Stadium.

After the stadium door opened at 8 a.m., spectators began to enter the venue one after another and took their seats according to their seat numbers.

This time it was a live broadcast across the United States. Originally, Bao Zixuan did not want to expose his photos prematurely. But now it seems that it is impossible. As the chairman of a company, not showing up for such an important event is definitely unjustifiable.

Since he was going to show up, he had to take it seriously. Bao Zixuan wore the suit worn by Phil Hawkins when he got married. As soon as he appeared, he immediately became the focus of the audience. For someone so young and dressed like this, there was only one person sitting on the podium.

Bao Zixuan, the boss of Heiyun Group, has such qualifications because sitting next to him is Johnson, the president of MIT.

Bao Zixuan was having a cordial exchange with Principal Johansson. Bao Zixuan was explaining the rules this time, and Principal Johansson was going to announce the opening of the competition.

However, there was a smell of gunpowder on the seats next to the rostrum. The tickets for these seats were given away by Bao Zixuan. In addition to the roommates, they were members of two female dormitories from Harvard University and Boston College.

Hearing Miyuki Matsushita's English with a distinct R&B accent, Jessica Mellon knew that the person she was quarreling with that day must be this R&B girl.

Could it be that Bao Zixuan brought his girlfriend here, but I didn’t hear my brother say that he has a girlfriend! I want to see who this girl is! With this purpose, Jessica Mellon began to ask the girl sitting next to her

Danny Green has some and some.

As soon as 9 o'clock arrived, the host made an opening statement and Bao Zixuan stood up. He walked to the center of the venue, took the microphone and said to everyone: "Welcome everyone to the finals of the first Rubik's Cube Competition. I am

Baozi Xuan.”

After he finished speaking and bowed, the audience burst into warm applause.

Bao Zixuan continued: "This is a knockout competition. To win the final championship, you have to go through 6 rounds."

“After 100 players competed together in the first round, we selected 60 players to advance to the second round; out of 60 players in the second round, we selected 30 players to enter the third round; out of 30 players in the third round, we selected 10 players to enter the third round.

Four rounds; out of 10 contestants in the fourth round, we select 5 to advance to the fifth round. From the 5 contestants in the fifth round, we select 3 to advance to the sixth round. In the sixth round, 3 contestants will advance to the finals."

"There is a 10-minute interval between each game, and the eliminated players will automatically leave the game and go to the lounge to rest. In order to increase participation in the competition, you will receive corresponding rewards for each round you advance."

"Now the bonus for all players is US$10,000, and we will increase it by US$10,000 for each round. The final bonus is US$360,000 for the champion, US$260,000 for the runner-up, and US$160,000 for the third place."

"After the game, they will be distributed to everyone. I just tell the children that as long as you work hard, you can support yourself."

After Bao Zixuan returned to his seat, the host said: "Now, I would like to invite President Johnson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the world's best university, to announce the opening of the competition."

Johansson took the microphone and stood up and said: "I declare the opening of the finals of the first Black Cloud Rubik's Cube Competition."

As soon as he finished speaking, Heiyun employees on the field placed the competition table in the center of the field, and at the same time, Casio Co., Ltd. employees also entered the field with timers.

Casio sent a large team this time, also hoping to gain popularity in this competition. Originally, the sponsorship fee was only 200,000 US dollars, but because there were so many people coming, and they were all wearing Casio work clothes, they also gave them a lot of billboards.

After negotiation with Heiyun, the sponsorship fee was increased to US$1 million.

This is also the reason why the bonuses for participating team members have increased. After all, after collecting so much sponsorship fees, it would be unjustifiable if Heiyun did not increase the benefits for participating team members.

Everything was ready. After the host said "start", 100 team members took their hands off the timer, picked up the Rubik's Cube and danced it quickly. In less than 10 seconds, all the team members had completed the Rubik's Cube.

At this time, the timer accurate to milliseconds has already calculated all the results. The fastest player only took 5.63 seconds, and the slowest player took 8.28 seconds. In this high-pressure competition, 63 team members entered within 6 seconds.

As the last 40 players left the field, the atmosphere became even more tense. The remaining players were all ruthless within 6 seconds. Their results were not much different, and they would be eliminated if they were not careful.

After the timer was restored, the staff carefully checked for possible problems. If there is a problem with the timer, then Casio's previous efforts will be in vain. The work of the RB people is indeed worthy of praise.

After the new preparations were completed, the host said "start". This time it was shorter than last time, and all recovery was completed in less than 7 seconds. That was because a team member made a wrong step due to a mistake and wasted 1 second.

bell.

The little girl who made the mistake was very sad and cried beside her. At this time, the little volunteers were very caring. A volunteer handed the tissue to the little girl who made the mistake and gave her a hug. Seeing this

The audience at the scene applauded warmly. The audience in front of the TV were also moved.

The commentator said: "A small tissue and two small figures hugging each other tell us not to be afraid of mistakes and to face difficulties bravely. One mistake is not terrible. You are still young and you can come back next year."

The third round results were already within 6 seconds, and 20 players left disappointed. However, by this point in the competition, there were no losers. Every player deserves respect.

Now the remaining players are all reported by various countries before and have become local stars.

Although each competition was very short, everyone found it very enjoyable to see the players' fingers turning like engines. There is no competition in the world with such fast hand speeds, and Heiyun Group became the first company to take advantage of this.

In the fourth round, Los Angeles player Ryan, who had always performed well before, was unexpectedly eliminated, which disappointed the American audience. But this is a competitive game. Every time someone moves towards the next goal, someone will leave with regret.

In the fifth round, there are only five players left. They are Hank from Germany, Yingzi from RB, and two young players; the remaining three are all young people over 16 years old; Guy from the United States, James from the United Kingdom, and

Born in Lukang, Hong Kong.

Lu Gangsheng is the child of an employee of Heiyun Group. He has been very fast since he was a child. This time, he got the Rubik's Cube in advance by virtue of his status as a family member of an internal employee. Although there is some suspicion of cheating, he would not have been able to achieve his current results if he had no strength.

.And the Rubik's Cube was purchased by the child's father. Bao Zixuan didn't say anything after hearing about it, and he would give the child a chance no matter what.

After the five contestants were ready, the host shouted "Start". This time everyone was faster, with the fastest reaching 5.14 seconds. The slowest was 5.60 seconds. If it weren't for the timer display, it would have been impossible to see it with the naked eye.

Not coming out.

Those who entered the finals were Hanke from Germany; Yingzi from RB; and Guy from the United States. The British and Xiangjiang players were eliminated. However, they were not depressed. For them, today was a super level performance. To be able to achieve this

You can leave with your head held high.

The three finalists were flexing their finger joints as they made a final effort. In particular, Yingzi received widespread attention. Girls are very rare in competitions that emphasize speed and intelligence.

After the three people re-entered the venue, the camera focused on them. Every family in their country was cheering for them.

Bao Zixuan came to the competition venue in person, took over the host's microphone and shouted "start". The three people danced their fingers quickly, and in just a blink of an eye, the Rubik's Cube had been restored. The final result stunned everyone. Little Hank from Germany

It happened to be exactly 5 seconds, and he won the first place without any doubt.

Guy of the United States won the runner-up in 5.35 seconds, and Yingzi of RB won the third place in 5.54 seconds. After the game, all 100 contestants came to the center of the field and began to receive bonuses and medals.

The photo of Hanke wearing the championship medal and holding the championship trophy made many media headlines, and he became a household name in Germany.
