Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

1 Children's Day, MIT Basketball Arena.

After the stadium door opened at 8 a.m., spectators began to enter the venue one after another and took their seats according to their seat numbers.

This time it was broadcast live across the United States. Originally, Bao Zixuan did not want to expose his photos prematurely. But now it seems that it is impossible. It is definitely unjustifiable for the chairman of the company to not show up for such an important event.

Since he was going to show up, he had to take it seriously. Bao Zixuan put on Phil Hawkins' wedding suit again. As soon as he appeared, he immediately became the focus of the audience. Being so young and dressed like this and sitting on the rostrum, there was only one person with such qualifications, Bao Zixuan, the boss of Heiyun Group. Because sitting next to him was Johnson, the president of MIT.

Bao Zixuan was having a cordial exchange with Principal Johansson. Bao Zixuan was explaining the rules this time, and Principal Johansson was going to announce the opening of the competition.

However, there was a smell of gunpowder on the seats next to the rostrum. The tickets for these seats were given away by Bao Zixuan. In addition to my roommates, I am a member of two female dormitories at Harvard University and Boston College.

Hearing Miyuki Matsushita's English with a distinct Japanese accent, Jessica Mellon knew that it must be the Japanese girl she was quarreling with that day.

Could it be that Bao Zixuan brought his girlfriend here, but he didn't hear his brother say that he had a girlfriend? I want to see who this girl is! With this purpose, Jessica Mellon began to ask Danny Green, who was sitting next to him, about something he didn't have.

After making an opening statement, Bao Zixuan stood up. He walked to the center of the field, took the microphone and said to everyone: "Welcome to the finals of the first Rubik's Cube Competition. I am Bao Zixuan."

After bowing, the audience burst into warm applause.

Bao Zixuan continued: "This is a knockout competition. If you want to win the final championship, you have to go through 6 rounds of competition."

“After 100 players competed together in the first round, we selected 30 players from the second round to advance to the third round; from the 30 players in the third round, we selected 10 players to enter the fourth round; from the 10 players in the fourth round, we selected 5 We will select 3 players from the 5 players in the 5th round to advance to the 6th round. 3 players in the 6th round will advance to the finals.”

"There is a 10-minute interval between each game, and the eliminated players will automatically leave the game and go to the lounge to rest. In order to increase participation in the competition, each round of advancement will be rewarded accordingly."

"Now the bonus for all players is US$10,000, and we will increase it by US$10,000 each round. The final championship bonus is US$360,000."

"After the game, they will be distributed to everyone. I just tell the children that as long as you work hard, you can support yourself."

After Bao Zixuan returned to his seat, the host said: "Now, I would like to invite President Johnson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the world's best university, to announce the opening of the competition."

Johansson took the microphone and stood up and said: "I declare the opening of the first Black Cloud Rubik's Cube Competition Finals."

As soon as he finished speaking, Heiyun employees on the field placed the competition table in the center of the field, and at the same time, Casio Co., Ltd. employees also entered the field with timers.

This time Casio sent a large team, also hoping to gain popularity in this competition. Originally, the sponsorship fee was only 200,000 US dollars, but because there were so many people coming, and they were all wearing Casio work clothes, they were given a lot of billboards. After negotiating with Heiyun, the sponsorship fee was increased to US$1 million.

This is also the reason why the bonuses for participating team members have increased. After all, after collecting so much sponsorship fees, it would be unjustifiable if Heiyun did not increase the benefits for participating team members.

After everything was ready and the host said "start", 100 team members took their hands off the timer and picked up the Rubik's Cube and danced quickly. In less than 10 seconds, all the team members had completed the puzzle.

At this time, the timer accurate to milliseconds has calculated all the results. The fastest player only took 5 hours and 8.28 seconds. In this high-pressure competition, there are seconds.

As the last 40 players left the venue, the atmosphere became even more tense. The remaining players all had about the same performance, and they would be eliminated if they were not careful.

After the timer was restored, staff carefully checked for possible problems. If there is a problem with the timer, then Casio's previous efforts will be in vain. The Japanese are indeed commendable for their work in this area.

After the new preparations are completed, the host says "start". This time it was shorter than last time, and the recovery was completed in less than 7 seconds. That was because a team member made a wrong step and wasted 1 second.

The mistake was that a little girl was very sad and started crying next to her. At this time, the little volunteers were very caring. A volunteer handed the tissue to the little girl who made the mistake and gave her a hug. The audience applauded warmly when they saw this scene. The audience in front of the TV was also moved.

The commentator said: "A small tissue and two small figures hugging each other tell us not to be afraid of mistakes and to face difficulties bravely. One mistake is not terrible. You are still young and you can come back next year."

The third round results have already entered and I left disappointed. But there are no losers at this point in the game. Every player deserves respect.

Now the remaining players have been reported by various countries before and have become local stars.

Although each game was very short, everyone found it very enjoyable to see the players' fingers turning like engines. There is no competition in the world where hand speed can be so fast, and Heiyun Group became the first company to take advantage of this.

In the fourth round, Los Angeles player Ryan, who had always performed well before, was unexpectedly eliminated, which disappointed the American audience, but this is a competitive game. Every time someone moves towards the next goal, someone will regret leaving.

In the fifth round, there are only five contestants left. They are Hank from Germany, Eiko from Japan, and two young contestants. The remaining three contestants are all older than 1 Guy, James from the United Kingdom, and students from Hong Kong and Lukang.

Lu Gangsheng is the child of an employee of Heiyun Group. He has been very fast since he was a child. This time, I obtained the Rubik's Cube in advance by virtue of my status as a family member of an internal employee. Although there are some suspicions of cheating, it is impossible to achieve the current results without the strength. And the Rubik's Cube was purchased by the child's father. After Bao Zixuan heard about it, he didn't say anything. He wanted to give this child a chance no matter what.

After the five contestants were ready, the host shouted "Start". This time everyone was faster, with the fastest time reaching 5.14 seconds. The slowest one has a 5-hour display, which is impossible to see with the naked eye.

Those who entered the finals were Hanke from Germany; Eiko from Japan; and Guy from the United States. British and Hong Kong players were eliminated. However, they were not frustrated. For them, today was a superb performance. You can leave with your head held high if you can achieve such results.

The three finalists are flexing their finger joints as they make their final effort. In particular, Yingzi has received widespread attention. Girls are very rare in competitions that emphasize speed and intelligence.

After the three people re-entered the venue, the camera focused on them. Every family in their country is cheering for them.

Bao Zixuan came to the competition venue in person, took the host's microphone and shouted "start". The three people moved their fingers quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the Rubik's Cube had been restored. The final result stunned everyone. Germany's little Hank actually took exactly 5 seconds and won the first place without any doubt.

Guy of the United States finished second in 5.35 seconds, and Eiko of Japan finished third in 5.54 seconds. After the competition, all 100 contestants came to the center of the venue and began to receive bonuses and medals.

The photo of Hanke wearing the championship medal and holding the championship trophy made many media headlines, and he became a household hero in Germany.
