Chapter 904: Guilt Deserves
Regarding the turmoil caused by the withdrawal, Su Rui was also a little unexpected.
In fact, he didn't expect so many things to happen at first, he and Shen Qing just wanted to win the championship through the competition to get the attention of the lightspeed bike, just like the road cycling race before, just to increase popularity, they would participate in the competition.
But Su Rui and Shen Qing never thought that they would encounter such a as a dark box operation in the finals, and they looked ugly, which made them very angry.
In fact, when he knew that there was a dark box operation at the beginning, Su Rui was indeed very angry, and he regretted participating in the competition, but what happened later made him dispel this idea, no longer angry, and would not regret participating in the competition.
Because, the bicycle design competition did have a dark box operation, but it did not cause him a loss, and the lightspeed bicycle did not lose popularity because of unfair treatment.
It can be said that the gains that Su Rui wanted to get before have been obtained in the game, and the gains far exceeded expectations, and he did not let all his efforts go down the drain because of the black box operation in the game, which is the most important point.
On the contrary, because of the black-box operation, the public was angry, and it also led to his greater gain, which is why he did not regret participating in the competition.
From the final of the bicycle design competition, Su Rui's faith points have been increasing until the next day.
Today, his faith has reached 500 million points, and before the finals, his faith was only 320 million points, which means that on this day, his faith value has increased by 180 million points.
It can be said that most of these 180 million faith points are obtained by light speed bikes, and a lot of it has to do with this race.
Su Rui believes that if the race is not operated in the dark, the light speed bicycle will get the faith value that everyone expects, so as not to cause such a big storm, the faith value he gets may be much less, and it is difficult to say whether there are 100 million faith points.
It is precisely because of the black-box operation of the game that the public feels angry and arouses the resistance of the public, and in this case, he can get so much at once.
Therefore, if Seong loses his horse, he will not know whether it is a blessing or not, and it is impossible to know the result until the last moment.
However, Su Rui gained a lot, but not everyone gained a lot, at least the organizers of the competition, as well as the sponsors of the competition, suffered heavy losses.
After this kind of thing happened, the reputation of this bicycle design competition has been completely stinky, not only at home, but also abroad, the reputation has fallen to the bottom, and after causing the public's disgust, there is no need to think about making a comeback, this brand is basically no longer usable.
As for the sponsors of the competition, not to mention, spending so much money to sponsor the competition, but in the end it got such a result, of course, the loss is very heavy.
On top of that, someone broke the news that the company behind the "Ball" bicycle is the biggest sponsor of the bicycle design competition.
In this way, everything can be explained.
This company is to increase brand awareness, as well as increase the sales of "Boer" bicycles, will invest funds to sponsor the competition, then in order to achieve the goal, it will naturally operate with the organizers of the competition in the dark, the champion is determined.
Therefore, the reason why the competition will modify the competition system, and even the official ticket stealing, as well as bribing the judges, is to let the "Ball" bicycle win the championship, so as to increase the sales of the bicycle, and improve the brand awareness, which is also the biggest purpose of corporate sponsorship of the competition.
It can be said that this kind of thing, sponsors and race organizers must have done this kind of thing many times, or several cycling giants take turns to be champions.
However, this year's bicycle design competition, with the dark horse of the lightspeed bike, disrupted the plans of these bicycle giants, and also made the organizers of the competition mess with their mobile phones, so much will be done in order to make the "Bol" bicycle win the championship as usual.
In fact, if the "Ball" bicycle is a bicycle comparable to a light-speed bicycle, the impact will not be too bad, at least some people will think it is normal.
However, the "Bol" bike is too far from the light-speed bike, and the two are not the same class of bikes at all, and in such a situation, it would only be counterproductive to let the "Bol" bike win the championship.
Among the four bikes in the finals, the lightspeed bike is undoubtedly the best, both in appearance and performance, and the "Ball" bike is not bad, slightly better than the regular bike, but it is also limited in good, and among the four bikes, it is basically the existence of the bottom, which is also the least popular entry.
In this way, one of the entries with the worst design and the lowest popularity won the championship, and it is no wonder that it caused a surge of public sentiment.
Therefore, in this case, neither the race organizer nor the sponsor should let the "Ball" bike win the championship, even if it wins, it will have the opposite effect, it will not help sales, and it will not add any bonus to the brand, it will only ruin the race, and it will also cause the public to boycott the brand.
It is foreseeable that after the race, the sales of "Bol" bikes will inevitably be very poor, and at the same time, it will also affect the decline in sales of the brand, and there will be many consumers who want to buy this brand, and choose other brands, and more likely to choose lightspeed bikes.
Therefore, the lightspeed bike is the most profitable, if not the champion, but also the party with the greatest gain.
As for the organizers and sponsors of the competition, I am afraid that the intestines will regret it now, but unfortunately, there is no way to reverse it, this competition is completely finished, and it is still impossible to predict how much impact it will have on the sales of the brand.
However, some institutions estimate that the sales of the brand of "Ball" bicycles will be reduced by at least two percent.
For a brand, if the sales volume suddenly drops sharply by 20%, it is very bad, and it will have a big impact on the business, and this is still a minimum estimate, and the actual situation may be even worse.
Now it's up to you to see how lightspeed road bikes perform, and if they go on the market, the better they perform, the worse the brands and companies behind the "Ball" bikes will be.
It can be said that the better the reputation of the light-speed road bike, the higher the sales, the impact of the "Ball" bicycle is not determined by the decline in sales of two percent, if it is left behind by competitors, it is possible for the brand to be finished directly.
It is not easy for a bicycle company to build a bicycle brand, even if it is a bicycle giant.
If a brand that has been in business for many years is finished like this, it will really vomit blood.
However, even if it falls into this kind of fate, it is self-inflicted, and it is not possible to blame others, and it can only blame the company itself for not choosing the right direction, but choosing dirty means, and no matter how miserable the end is, it is also deserved.
