With the deepening of the Rubik's Cube audition, the results of various places are also being released one after another. The first preparation was not very sufficient, and the quota in each city had already been allocated, which was decided according to the sales volume of the Rubik's Cube. Unless the score is within 6 seconds, it will directly advance to the finals.

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

However, the patent was in the hands of Heiyun, and they finally negotiated with Heiyun to buy the patent license at a price of $2 per unit. More than 400,000 units of the Rubik's Cube timer have been sold around the world, and the main thing is to open up the European market, which was completely unimaginable before.

In order to take care of the young players, the Rubik's Cube competition stipulates that children under the age of 14 can be accompanied by a parent to Boston, and the cost is borne by the Black Cloud Group. It is also stipulated that all the players will be led by the employees of the Black Cloud Group to fly to Boston after gathering in various national capitals, and Bao Zixuan is also afraid that there will be problems on the way.

Mark Lauren and Jennifer Lauren have become stars in the school these days, and they went to the Black Cloud Group the next day with the note given by Bao Zixuan. And a supervisor of the marketing department received them and gave them a formal volunteer authorization certificate for the first Black Cloud Cube Competition, which they could use to 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 broadcast rights of the finals of the first Black Cloud Rubik's Cube Competition were obtained by ABC TV for $2 million, after all, many people did not expect the project to be so popular when it was being planned at that time. ABC is also a contract that is only signed for the sake of the face of the Transformers.

However, it turns out that ABC has once again missed the hole, and they can drive more than 30 million viewers in North America by getting the broadcast rights at such a low price.

So far, it seems that all the people and companies involved in this event have benefited and are now waiting for the final round.

On May 30th, players from Asia and Europe arrived one after another, and the most noteworthy here are RB's Yingzi and Germany's Hank, who were both relatively early to enter the six-second period, especially Yingzi, a cute little girl, is one of the few female players.

Wearing the uniforms emblazoned with the finals of the first Rubik's Cube Contest of Black Clouds, they were already being greeted by people and interviewed by the media when they set off in their home countries.

But when I arrived in Boston, I felt that the scene when I set off in my country was simply too simple, and the Black Cloud Group originally wanted to make a name for a toy company, but I didn't expect not only the sales of the Rubik's Cube to be so good, but also many brands lined up to sponsor it.

That's polite, from the airport to the competition venue, a lot of advertisements can be sold. Advertising revenue alone can already pay for itself.

This is only due to the fact that entertainment is really lacking in this era, otherwise a children's Rubik's Cube competition is far from reaching so much attention.

However, these have nothing to do with Bao Zixuan, he is now looking at the results of the players. There are 48 people who directly qualify within 6 seconds, and the rest are determined by the sales volume of each region. It's a little worse than I imagined, the times are different, and the preparation time is a little shorter.

The oldest player is 17 years old and 284 days old, and the youngest player is 12 years old and 123 days old, these are all underage players, and the Black Cloud Group has invested a lot of money in security this time, and once these players have problems, then all the media in the world will spray Black Cloud to death. In order to avoid suspicion of this kind of thing, Bao Zixuan sent all the company's security guards out to patrol the hotel and the competition venue.

The finals were held in the basketball arena of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the 5,000 tickets were quickly sold out, except for reserved seats, and not only the students of the school bought the tickets, but also the parents of many American competitors to cheer on their children.

Bao Zixuan had just come out of the competition venue, and he was about to check the layout of the venue, when he saw Martin Griff and a girl walking towards him.

Martin Griff said to Bao Zixuan: "Bao, are there any tickets for that game?" ”

Bao Zixuan: "Didn't I give it to you? Why did you lose it, then you will go in with me." ”

Martin Griff: "I don't have a girlfriend! ”

In fact, Martin is not very willing to ask for tickets for Bao Zixuan, after all, everyone in the dormitory gave one, and there are 5,000 tickets in total, but now it is difficult to get a ticket.

But he hasn't taken care of his girlfriend for half a month, and suddenly found him, knowing that he was Bao Zixuan's roommate, it would be a shame if this matter couldn't be solved.

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan was actually very happy, not because of Martin Griff's girlfriend's problem, but the Rubik's Cube competition can actually make a couple who have not been in touch for a long time contact with each other again between their nominal boyfriend and girlfriend, this is the influence of the game, and after giving Martin two more tickets, Bao Zixuan returned to the company.

This is just a small episode, but Bao Zixuan just returned to the company and found that the four people in Matsushita Miyuki's dormitory were actually waiting for him in the reception room, but fortunately, the employees of the Black Cloud Group knew them.

Bao Zixuan hasn't seen these four girls since the end of the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Show, and he must have come to the door today to find something for himself, so he also came to ask for tickets.

Bao Zixuan entered the reception room and sat down, and then said to them: "Hello beauties! I haven't seen it for a long time, 、、、、 came to me today."

At this time, seeing that everyone was looking at Miyuki Matsushita, Miyuki Matsushita, who knew that she couldn't run away, said: "We want to watch the Rubik's Cube competition, but I don't know if 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 the worst cheats." ”

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that a small competition could cause such a big sensation, resulting in many problems and underestimation, and now it seems that the broadcast rights and advertising fees are really cheap.

I didn't expect that even Boston College students would want to watch the game now, and it seems that the next event can make the scene bigger, maybe the Lego brick competition is an opportunity.

When Danny Green heard that he had to work again, he wondered if Bao Zixuan was born a capitalist in nature, why did they have to work hard every time to get what they wanted!

Danny Green: "We still want to go to the seats and experience the atmosphere, so we still want a few tickets. ”

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

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

When sending the four of them away, Bao Zixuan was also pondering, how could a small game attract so much attention! It was reported all over the world, and many college students in Boston liked to watch the children's competition.

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 competitions, even adult competitions, no one watched.

The lack of spiritual culture made the first Rubik's Cube Contest increase its influence and exposure with the ability to spread terror. This is what both the Black Cloud Group and Bao Zixuan like to see.
