Chapter 31: Peak Showdown (Part II)
Ouyang Dan got up slowly: "As you know, I only returned from abroad last year, and this is also the first time I have served as a judge of the school competition. As a judge, I know I shouldn't be talking about the rules of the competition, but as a professional, I can't restrain myself when I'm faced with a product that excites me. ”
"The reason I can't resist my urge to speak up is because I can't give a score on short-term sales metrics. My intuition told me that after Zhao's product was launched on the market, it would be all the rage, but I could only give a maximum of 20 points against the hard indicators of scoring. ”
"I respect the rules of the game, but do our rules limit the sense of innovation of some geniuses? Zhao is right, people who don't understand computers and networks can't understand this product at all. And my experience abroad for so many years tells me that the computers that have been popularized abroad will sweep the land of China with the power of a storm. ”
"The speed of development of information technology will completely subvert our understanding of traditional industries. However, in our school's competition rules, especially in the short-term sales indicators, too much attention is paid to monetary interests and too much attention is paid to the short-term rate of return after the school fund is invested. In the face of this set of rules, products that are attached to traditional industries are the most conducive to impacting the champion. But for truly innovative technologies, especially disruptive technologies, there is no way to measure short-term gains, which prevents it from scoring highly. ”
"Classmates and teachers, the rules of the competition cannot be changed, I know this, but I want to say a word, in the next competition, can we see a set of rules that keep up with the international cutting-edge technology, so that the brainstorming will come more violently and thoroughly? Thank you, that's the end of my statement. ”
Applause, thunderous applause.
The former president of Shanxing Group shook his head regretfully, picked up the microphone, and began to ask questions to the contestants: "Student Zhao, I am very sorry, because I really want to give you a full score again, 40 points, but the rules of the competition limit me and can only give 20 points." Excuse me, have you ever advertised this product? You see, the rules state that if there is an advertising behavior, you can add an additional 5 points, and I would love to fight for this precious 5 points for you. ”
The audience burst into good-natured laughter and soft applause for the old man's frankness and loveliness.
Zhao Lei shook his head: "I'm very sorry, due to the tight time and the huge cost of developing products, I can't launch batch products to the market, let alone advertise and publicize." ”
Zeng Biao stared intently at the judges' seat, and when Ouyang Dan asked to speak, his nervousness was self-evident. But when she finished speaking, and the former president also finished speaking, his heart was completely put into his heart, because the schedule entered the final link, and the result could not be changed.
As a player who is about to go to the championship stage, in the face of the overwhelming support for Zhao Lei on the scene, he once had an impulse to have a very generous expression.
He raised his hand, a hand that would not have died too ugly without dying.
The rules stipulate that contestants can ask each other questions before the judges score them.
"What's wrong with Mr. Zeng?" The beautiful hostess handed the microphone over.
Zeng Biao tried his best to pretend to be personable, holding the microphone reservedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't actually want to ask questions, but I wanted to express my admiration to Zhao Lei." ”
There was silence. Are you still familiar with Zeng Biao's personality? The weasel greets the chicken, what kind heart does he have?
"Zhao's products are indeed very good, just now Mr. Ouyang and the former president's words, it is also very reasonable, if Zhao has a celebrity endorsement or a strong market reaction, his product in the last scoring, the possibility of giving a full score again is completely there. It's a pity, I also feel very sorry that our competition rules limit a lot of things, and Zhao has no celebrity endorsement, which means that he has been unjustly ......"
Before Zeng Biao could finish his pretended words, the door of the auditorium was suddenly pushed open, and a coquettish roar came from the door:
"Who says there aren't celebrity endorsements?"
The decibel of the female voice overshadowed the speaker, and everyone looked at the door in surprise.
Li Xiaorong borrowed the mobile phone from nowhere and stuck it to her ear, sweating profusely, panting, and standing at the door with a red face, behind her, two tall men.
Li Yiwei, who had been on the phone, finally removed the phone from her ear, leaned back in the chair with confidence, and stared at Zhao Lei with a smile, her face stretched out, and she was extremely enchanting.
Zhao Lei was stunned by this unexpected scene, and was stunned in the host seat, it turned out that Lin Yiwei had been calling and was contacting Li Xiaorong.
Then, his eyes widened like brass bells.
The two men behind Li Xiaorong, one of them, turned out to be the glasses man of Yang's Electronics Company.
Wasn't the man with glasses transferred to the Chengdu branch as the deputy manager, and he ran here in a hurry, what are you doing?
The people at the scene were also stunned, but unlike Zhao Lei, the students' eyes all fell on another man.
Suddenly, a girl screamed hoarsely: "Lao wolf, that's Lao wolf, you at the same table, your Lao wolf at the same table......"
All the students stood up, "That's right, it's Lao Wolf, the first popular star in the Chinese campus music scene, Wow ......"
"Sign, Wolf gives ...... signature"
The students sitting at the door, after being stunned for a long time, finally reacted, forgot what everyone was doing now, took out paper and pencil one after another, and surrounded the wolf into an iron bucket array.
The scene was chaotic, and the director of the organizing committee of the competition and the executive vice president of the school urgently took the stage: "Quiet, students, please be quiet, what's the matter, will we wait until the game is over?" Members of the organizing committee are requested to arrange for the visiting guests to sit backstage......"
"No need, it's urgent." Li Xiaorong didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and took the stage directly with a man with glasses and a wolf.
Waves of cheers, screams, and whistles rang out at the scene, and the cries of "Lao Wolf", "Lao Wolf" and "Lao Wolf" resounded rhythmically throughout the auditorium.
As he walked, he kept waving to the students, walked to the stage, and after bowing three times in a row, he still couldn't suppress the enthusiasm of the students.
He had to walk to the microphone: "Thank you for the enthusiasm of the students, I am a wolf, I have a small request, I hope everyone will stay quiet, and when we finish our business, I will definitely meet all your requirements." ”
The scene was instantly quiet. The power of stars is so great.
Li Xiaorong asked the vice principal: "Vice principal, due to the twists and turns in the process of Zhao Lei's celebrity endorsement, it was not determined until this afternoon. Now the competition is not over, Zhao's products have celebrity endorsements, this is not against the rules of the competition, right? ”
"I'm against it!" When the vice president was about to speak, a loud voice came from the judges' seat, which was the most powerful judge among the seven judges in the business world.
"Tell me why." The vice principal said elegantly.
"This is contrary to the rigor of the competition, as we all know, the basic information of the player's product has been determined before the start of the competition, and it must not be changed. Therefore, it is not in accordance with the rules for Zhao to announce the behavior of celebrity endorsement now, and I, as a judge, will not be recognized. ”
The corporate judge spoke in a tough tone, and after he finished speaking, six other corporate judges joined in in support of him.
"I disagree with this judge." Ouyang Dan stepped forward again, "This competition of the school is open, and it should allow a temporary innovation factor to exist, even if the students change the product attributes on the spot, as long as it is reasonable, it is in line with the rules of the competition." ”
The former president of Shanxing Group joined the ranks of supporting Ouyang Dan: "I agree with Mr. Ouyang's words, please look at the rules of the competition, which clearly says 'before the end of the competition', this sentence should be understood as before the final score of the judges is determined and recognized by authority. Therefore, Zhao's measures are real and effective. ”
"Against" "For"......
This time, the judges' seat became a pot of porridge, and the 12 judges were divided into two distinct factions and launched a fierce debate, but only 4 judges supported Zhao Lei, and the remaining 8 were all on the opposing side, and the strength seemed to be extremely unbalanced.
The organizing committee urgently convened a short meeting, and then the vice president took the stage again.
"As a result of this competition, there has been a complication that has not been seen before, and this complication involves the accuracy of the definition of the rules of the competition. I now announce that a 15-minute break will be held for a special meeting of the judges to vote on the accuracy of the definition of the rules, to be voted on by the members of the school foundation. ”
The vice principal smiled kindly at Lao Wolf: "There is a very popular star singer at the scene, and after discussion by the organizing committee just now, it is allowed to interact with the students during the 15-minute break. Wolf, the scene will be handed over to you and the host. ”
The rhythmic shouts of "Wolf, Wolf, Wolf......" sounded again, and the students didn't care what game they didn't play, and the star was far more important than a game.
The beautiful host was so excited that her tears were about to fall, she was also a very loyal fan of Lao Wolf, her voice trembled: "Wolf...... Brother Wolf, let me tell you, why did you suddenly come out of nowhere, and why did you endorse classmate Zhao? What is your relationship with Zhao Lei? ”
Lao Wolf smiled: "No, no, no, I have nothing to do with Classmate Zhao, I don't know each other at all." ”
"That'...... What's going on? The host was confused, and turned his head to ask the stunned Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei shook his head like a rattle: "Ni girl, how do I know what's going on?" My brain is now mushy, and I don't even know a wolf, let alone a wolf......"
The wolf pushed the man with glasses to the front desk: "Come on, come on, you come." ”
"Ahem!" The man with glasses hugged Zhao Lei, about a little nervous, and cleared his throat, "Ah Lei, Lao Wolf was invited by me, I graduated from the same school as Lao Wolf, and I am a brother who sleeps in the bunk bed." ”
"Na Mu?" Zhao Lei was so shocked that he almost fell down, "When I first met you, boxing champion Liu Changjiang once introduced you that you graduated from the Beijing United Federation...... Holy, why did I forget this stubble?! ”
The man with glasses crooked his mouth smiled: "Yes, I graduated from Beijing United University, didn't Lao Wolf also graduate from this school?" I majored in radio, didn't Lao Wolf also graduate from radio? ”
