Chapter 116 (1/2)
Since John Chambers was promoted to the general manager of the American branch of black cloud group, his office has moved to Los Angeles, California. There are baozixuan in Boston and New York. There is no room for him to play. With the expansion of the business scope of the company in California, the American branch of black cloud group now needs to increase its investment in the west coast.
John Chambers wondered why his boss asked him to hurry back to Boston for a meeting. Why did he suddenly go out again! I'm waiting here. However, as a subordinate, I'm sorry to ask too many questions, and I'm still a little angry for chambers, who has a strong sense of time.
In fact, he wronged steamed stuffed bun Xuan. He originally called chambers to discuss the promotion plan of Rubik's cube in the United States. Suddenly, the headmaster was informed that he had time now. He had an appointment to have something temporary tomorrow. Steamed stuffed bun Xuan had to see the headmaster first, which cooled chambers in his office.
After entering the office, baozixuan saw four cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of chambers, which really made him wait too long. Although it was his own employee, he still had to be comforted. He smiled and said, ”I'm very sorry. I had an appointment with principal Johansson tomorrow, but he had something temporary tomorrow. I'm in a hurry. I've made you wait here too long.”
Hearing baozixuan say so, chambers is better. If the boss doesn't explain, he won't say anything, but there are inevitably some ideas that are not valued.
John Chambers: ”never mind. I happen to have a rest, too. However, the boss called me in such a hurry. What's the matter? ”
Bao Zixuan took out a Rubik's cube and put it in front of chambers. ”I'm going to do a worldwide Rubik's cube promotion with MIT. This is a preliminary plan. Your task is to improve it!”
”At present, I have finished docking at MIT. The last 100 players will arrive before May 31 and compete on time at 9 a.m. on June 1.”
”Your task is to do a good job in the North American market promotion. As long as you buy a magic cube, you can go to the purchase store to register for the competition. The players with the competition result within 15 seconds enter the next round, and the second round is 10 seconds. The last round is six seconds. ”
”The whole world that can enter 6 seconds is also Fengmao water chestnut. It doesn't matter if they are all brought to MIT. The United States is our main battlefield. I just want American children to have a magic cube.”
John Chambers: ”OK, boss, please rest assured. I will send more people to do a good job of supervision and service in the places where magic cubes are sold in the United States.”
After all the arrangements are ready, the black cloud group has put an advertisement for the cube on major TV stations all over the world. Professor Rubik is constantly adjusting the cube in his hands, and the picture of the final recovery is set in the hearts of every parent and child.
In particular, the last 100 can go to MIT to participate in the competition. Black cloud group reimburses all expenses and will have a prize of 10000 US dollars. The most important thing is that the first place will have a prize of 300000 US dollars, and even the third place will have 100000 US dollars. It is a great motivation for children from poor families. After all, if they win the last prize, the family will change, You can live a middle-class life.
Parents with good family conditions also want their children to participate. The final venue is MIT, one of the best universities in the world. What baozixuan wants is this effect. He wants to make the parents of those children who come to the competition think that if their children can even get the ranking, they will have the opportunity to get the favor of MIT, and it will be much easier to enter this university in the future.
The Rubik's cube, which costs only HK $5, is directly priced at US $5 each. In addition to a Rubik's cube, there is also a user manual and entry card!
Knowing that sales will be hot, Yamashita Hengyi adjusted part of LEGO's production line to produce Rubik's cube, so that the daily output can reach 200000. In this way, the products produced every day are sold out, and the dark cloud cube is popular all over the world this time.
Casio Co., Ltd. also benefited from it. The timers they provided made the brand popularity grow very fast. During this period, Casio's watch sales are increasing every day.
