Chapter 119 (1/2)
June 1, 1978, children's day, MIT Basketball Hall.
After the gate of the gymnasium opened at 8 a.m., the audience began to enter the venue one after another and took their seats according to their seat numbers.
This is a live broadcast in the United States. Originally, baozixuan didn't want to expose his photos too early. But now it seems impossible. It must be unreasonable for such an important activity not to appear as the chairman of the enterprise.
Since he wants to appear, he should take it seriously. Baozixuan put on Phil Hawkins's wedding suit again. As soon as he appeared, he immediately became the focus of the whole audience. If he was so young and sat on the podium dressed like this, only one person was qualified. Baozixuan, boss of heiyun group. Because sitting next to him is John song, President of MIT.
Baozixuan is having a cordial exchange with President Johansson. The rules are explained by baozixuan, and President Johansson wants to announce the opening of the competition.
However, there was a smell of gunpowder on the seats next to the podium. The tickets for these positions were sent out by baozixuan. In addition to roommates, they are two female dormitory members of Harvard University and Boston College.
Hearing Matsushita Meixue's obvious RB accent english, Jessica Mellon knew that it must be the RB girl who quarreled with herself that day.
Did baozixuan bring his girlfriend, but I didn't hear his brother say he had a girlfriend! I want to see who this girl is! With this in mind, Jessica Mellon began to ask Danny green, who was sitting next to him, what he had.
At 9 o'clock, after the host made an opening speech, baozixuan stood up. Go to the center of the venue, hold the microphone and say to everyone, ”welcome to the finals of the first Rubik's cube competition. I'm Bao Zixuan. ”
After bowing, there was warm applause on the scene.
Bao Zixuan then said, ”this is a knockout competition. You have to go through six rounds to win the final championship. ”
”After 100 players compete together in the first round, we choose 60 to enter the second round; In the second round of 60 players, we selected 30 to enter the third round; In the third round of 30 players, we selected 10 players to enter the fourth round; In the fourth round of 10 players, we selected 5 to enter the fifth round. Five players in the fifth round, we selected three to enter the sixth round. In the sixth round, three players will have the final final. ”
”At an interval of 10 minutes between each competition, the eliminated players will automatically leave the field and rest in the lounge. In order to increase the participation of the competition, each forward round will be rewarded accordingly. ”
”Now the bonus of all players is $10000, and we have to add $10000 for each forward round. The final winner's bonus is $360000 and the runner up is $260000. The third place is $160000. ”
”It will be distributed to everyone after the game. I just tell the children that you can support yourself as long as you work hard.”
After Bao Zixuan returned to his seat, the host said, ”now let's invite President Johansson of MIT, the world's best university, to announce the opening of the competition.”
Johansson took the microphone, stood up and said, ”I announce the opening of the finals of the first dark cloud cube competition.”
As soon as the voice fell, the black cloud staff on the venue put the competition table in the center of the venue, and the staff of CASIO Co., Ltd. also entered the venue with a timer.
Casio sent a huge team this time, which also wants to become famous in this competition. Originally, the sponsorship fee was only $200000. Because there were too many people coming, they all wore Casio uniforms and gave them a lot of billboards. After negotiating with black cloud, the sponsorship fee was increased to $1 million.
This is also the reason why the bonus of the participating team members has increased. After all, there are so many sponsorship fees. If heiyun doesn't increase the welfare of the participating team members, it doesn't make sense.
