Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 591: U.S. game console market is recovering

...

With the help of the high popularity that Carl Lewis gathered at the Los Angeles Olympics, Fangyuan Computer's brand has been further strengthened, and Fangyuan's personal computer sales have seen a significant leap in growth.

Seeing the great success of this round of marketing, the subordinates offered the flattery of the boss, the wise **** Wu Yunyun. The reason is not that one's own side bet the right treasure. After all, many businesses have benefited a lot from the Los Angeles Olympics, and Tang Huan is not the only one; it is that everyone has avoided a possible financial loss.

Originally, seeing McDonald's sending out promotional plans for free, the subordinates deliberately followed suit and came up with a radical plan, but Tang Huan rejected it.

Fortunately, this plan did not pass, otherwise it would be in a dilemma like McDonald's.

Due to the resistance of the Soviet Union, the sporting power, the pattern of the Olympic medal table is polarized, similar to the 3rd Summer Olympic Games hosted by St. Louis, Missouri in 1904.

The general international situation at that time was not relaxed. It was during the Russo-Japanese War-the little devil and the old Maozi fought on the Chinese territory in order to compete for the influence of the Korean Peninsula and the northeast region of China, making many world powers at that time incapable of having time. He Gu.

In addition, although the Olympic Games was the first time to come to the North American continent, the traffic conditions at that time were far inferior to those of Tang Huan. As long as he has money, he can take a private jet and go around the earth. Major international cities in the world take one day. In addition, St. Louis is located inland, which directly leads to lack of interest in European countries, and other countries are unwilling to travel long distances to participate.

Ever since, the third Summer Olympics became a show ground for Americans, and it sent an unprecedented scale of delegations-up to 523 people, you know. Canada, the second most populous country, has only 56 people.

Therefore, in many projects, the United States almost won without a fight. Obtained an unprecedented monopoly, with 76 gold medals alone.

The most obvious example of this situation is the water polo game. Apart from the United States, no other country participated in the competition. In the end, the gold medal was decided between the teams of the three cities in the United States.

This year's Los Angeles Olympics, the United States' advantage is also extremely obvious. After halfway through the schedule, some media vowed to predict that the number of gold medals the US delegation could get should be around 80.

The fact is also true. Carl Lewis alone won the men's 100 meters, men's 200 meters, men's long jump and men's 4x100 meters relay 4 track and field gold medals.

According to the McDonald’s method of giving away a Big Mac with a gold medal, a French fries with a silver medal. A Coca-Cola with a bronze medal, a conservative estimate is that it would cost tens of millions of dollars for nothing, which is definitely worth it. A disaster of universal celebration.

Now McDonald's has become a cocoon. How many burgers must be sold to make it back? But it doesn't dare to give up halfway. The American people are in high spirits. If you remove the ladder halfway at this time, it is not only the consumers who fell in mid-air, but also their own signs.

It can be said that McDonald's is in a dilemma, giving all American manufacturers who have sharpened their heads to make a fortune in the Olympic Games. After pouring cold water on the head, the management of Fangyuan Computer Co., Ltd. even shouted for luck in a cold sweat, and naturally wanted to send compliments to the boss to show his introspection.

Tang Huan didn't say much about this. He is still very satisfied with the current management of Fangyuan Computer Company. He can cut a blood path among the thousands of troops in the computer industry. It is impossible to do it with technology alone. It is also inseparable from management. The level of these subordinates has always been shown. It's all remarkable, it's not guilty to beat it through this thing.

Fangyuan Computer’s propaganda relied on Karl Lewis, and ea played the card of gymnastics.

As a member of the Warsaw Pact, the Romanian delegation has gained special attention in the United States than China and Yugoslavia. Its second position on the gold medal list also seems to indicate that it has the capital to replace the Soviet Union in the Olympics. status.

However, the story behind this is more intriguing.

Back in 1981. The Romanian national gymnastics team came to the United States to participate in the tour. But after that, the coaches-Bella Carrolli and-Marta Carrolli defected to the United States. Of course, in the description of the Western media, he has defected to the United States.

The coaching abilities of Bella Carrolli and Marta Carrolli are extraordinary. Nadia Comaneci is their master apprentice. Due to the departure of the two, the famous sportsman was also affected. He unofficially retired in the year of the incident and officially announced his retirement this year. Although he also came to the Los Angeles Olympics, his travel was restricted and he was only allowed to visit limited places such as Cuba and the Soviet Union. .

After settled in the United States, Bella Carrolli and Marta Carrolli trained a dark horse for the United States-Mary Lou Layton, who is only 16 years old this year.

Since the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Romania’s Nadia Comaneci and Soviet Union’s Nelkin have become superstars in the field of world gymnastics. Even in Western countries, there are no shortage of admirers, Mary Lou Leyton is Inspired by the wonderful performance of Nadia Comaneci, she began to learn women's competitive gymnastics.

Thanks to the wise guidance of two world-class gymnastics coaches, Bella Carrolli and Marta Carrolli, Mary Lou Leighton has made rapid progress. She started in gymnastics at the age of 15 in 1983. Boundary exhibition shows its edge.

In the up-American Cup gymnastics competition that year, Mary Lou Layton, who participated for the first time, squeezed out the then-American champion durham-Diana Delen and became the rookie champion of the super dark horse.

Mary Lou Layton also won awards in the Japan-China Cup Gymnastics Competition and the American Classic Cup Gymnastics Competition that year.

However, after winning the second U.S. Cup gymnastics championship this year and the U.S. Olympic finalist championship, Mary Lou Leighton accidentally sprained her knee and sprained her knee while performing floor exercises at the local gymnasium in Houston. Surgery was subsequently performed.

Although Mary Lou Layton recovered quickly, she was able to represent the United States in her first Olympic Games successfully. But her performance is inevitably full of uncertainties.

Women's competitive gymnastics at this stage is dominated by Eastern European athletes, while the results of the United States are lacklustre.

In the case of personal and overall unfavorable conditions. Mary Lou Layton's commercial endorsement value is really hard to say, the only contracted companies are ea and Wyeth.

Everyone knows that Tang Huan has always had a keen interest in gymnastics. Therefore, the subordinates think that the boss is choosing the big one from the American team to give a friendly sponsorship support, and he basically thinks so.

You know, although the Soviet Union was absent from the Olympics due to boycott, Romania, which is equally strong in gymnastics, participated. His team-Ecaterina Sabo, known as Nadia Comaneci's successor, withstood the more competitive European Championships and World Championships last year, and received several gold medals. , Far from being comparable to Mary Lou Layton.

but. The charm of sports lies in this. With the power of the home court, the results of many games are beyond people's expectations.

In the first men’s gymnastics team competition, the US team won the championship with a score of 591.400, while the Chinese team finished second with a score of 590.800. This made Li Jingwei, Han Sining and other off-site spectators sighed.

In the next women's gymnastics team competition, without the Soviet Union, the Romanian team finally got their wish and won the first team championship in history. The US team and the Chinese team won the second and third places.

On August 2, the gold medal in the individual all-around men's gymnastics was won by the 28-year-old Japanese veteran Kouji Kouji. Peter Wiedema of the US team and Li Ning of the Chinese team won the silver and bronze medals respectively.

On August 3, the individual all-around women's gymnastics followed by ea entered the finals.

Tripp Hawkins pointed to Mary Lou Layton, who was only 145 cm tall, and said: "This little girl has a sweet smile and energetic enthusiasm. The effect in the lens is very friendly. As long as she wins the championship. , It has the potential to become an'American sweetheart'. Driven by this round of Olympic star idols, the collapsed American home game console market will further pick up."

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "It seems that you are quite optimistic about Mary Lou Leighton winning the championship. Don't forget, Ecaterina Sabo of the Romanian team is not to be underestimated."

"In the previous women's gymnastics team competition, although Romania won, the US team was only runner-up. But in individual results, Mary Lou Leighton scored 79.050 points. Ranked first, while Ecaterina Sabo was 78.750. Ranked second. According to the rules of the women’s gymnastics competition, half of the individual scores of each player in the team competition will be brought into the total score of the individual all-around. Therefore, today’s individual all-around, Mary Lou Leighton Occupying an advantage right from the start."

Having said this, Tripp Hawkins waved his hand around, "Did you notice any difference in the atmosphere here?"

At this time, the Poly Hall of the University of California, Los Angeles, where the Olympic gymnastics competition was located, was full of seats, and 13,000 spectators had a strong home court advantage.

Tang Huan noticed this, haha, "It seems a bit of a devil's home court."

After the game started, Mary Lou Leighton and Ecaterina Sabo were divided into different groups, so they could compete on different equipment at the same time.

It seems that Ecaterina Sabo, who is one year older than Mary Lou Leighton, has rich experience in the competition, and she got a perfect score for her first project balance beam—10 points; and Mary Lou Ley Dayton's first project was the uneven bars, with a score of 9.850.

The scores brought by the two from the individual results of the team competition were 39.375 points and 39.525 points respectively. As a result, after the first round of the match, they drew directly.

Tripp Hawkins, who was originally smiling, suddenly became serious.

In the second round of the competition, Ecaterina Szabo’s event was floor exercise, and her performance was almost flawless, scoring 9.950 points; while Mary Lou Layton’s event was a balance beam, only scoring 9.800 points.

Now, the Romanian girl is 0.150 points ahead, and the atmosphere in the arena has become more tense and suppressed.

In the third round of the competition, Ecaterina Szabo scored 9.900 points for the vaulting event; Mary Lou Layton's floor exercise, and the referee gave her a perfect score-10 points.

Suddenly. The audience cheered excitedly, but the Romanian girl still led by 0.050 points.

The final round of competition. Ecaterina Sabo’s project was uneven bars and scored another 9.900 points; Mary Lou Leyton’s last sprint was the vault.

The situation is very clear: Mary Lou Layton will get a perfect score-10 points on the jumping horse. Then the gold medal is hers; if you get 9.950 points, then share the gold medal with the Romanian girl; if the score is lower, the gold medal will be missed by her.

After Bella Carrolli gave the disciple the opportunity to face-to-face at the last minute, Mary Lou Leighton walked to the arena calmly.

At this time, the Poly Pavilion was extremely quiet, and Tang Huan could hear a group of people including Tripp Hawkins, breathing heavily due to tension.

Mary Lou Layton looked at the "horse", then began to run, and then touched the horse with both hands vigorously. The body rotates dexterously in the air, and finally landed steadily like a nail.

In the fanatical shouts of the audience, Bella Carrolli could still be heard screaming, "10 points, 10 points, ... 10 points!"

The coach who left from Romania to the United States obviously needs the highest Olympic sports performance to prove his worth.

Thirty seconds later, the stadium scoreboard showed 10 points as Bella Carrolli wanted. Mary Lou Layton surpassed her opponent in the final stage and won the women's gymnastics individual all-around Olympic champion.

The most important thing is. Mary Lou Layton broke the historical situation where only Eastern European athletes won individual all-around gymnastics gold medals and became the first American gymnast to win the individual all-around championship. It is of great significance.

In the loud cheers. Tang Huan smiled playfully. He clearly remembered that when he went to the Moscow Olympics four years ago, in the same women’s gymnastics individual all-around final, Yelena Davidova of the Soviet Union defeated Nadia Komaneć, who performed poorly, and came out on top. As a result, Romanian protests spattered.

Now, Mary Lou Layton, who was originally behind, has scored two 10 points in the last two events, reversing and winning the championship. Why are you not making trouble?

However, the next performance of Mary Lou Layton. Tang Huan had to look at this little girl with admiration.

According to the rules of the gymnastics competition, each contestant has two opportunities in the vaulting competition. The score is calculated based on the highest one.

Originally, Mary Lou Layton was already in possession of the winning ticket, and there was no need to jump for the second time, but she still did it for the second time, and in the end she got another full score-10 points!

This seems to be of little significance, but in Tang Huan's view, it is precisely a self-evidence of her own strength, and Mary Lou Layton's fighting spirit is not generally vigorous.

In the subsequent women's individual competitions, Mary Lou Layton won the silver medal in vaulting, and the bronze medal in uneven bars and free exercise. Together with the silver medal in the previous team competition, she has a total of 5 medals, which became the win in this Olympics. American athlete with the most medals.

It can be said that under the background of an era in which sports is clearly a continuation of political governance, Mary Lou Layton has accomplished a feat, which has been acclaimed by the enthusiasm of the American media. Her hometown of West Virginia Fairmont ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ renamed a road and a park in the city after her.

In addition, President Reagan personally met and took a photo with Mary Lou Layton. And this "American sweetheart" has also become a well-known figure of the Republican Party of the United States and an outspoken supporter of the Reagan administration. It also appeared in various TV commercials supporting Reagan's reelection campaign this year.

Wyeth Company printed Mary Lou Leighton's photo on each box of breakfast cereals and made her the spokesperson for Cereil Nutritional Cereals.

However, another contractor, ea, moved faster and quickly launched a series of advertisements created by Mary Lou Layton, an emerging idol, including an idea that Tang Huan proposed to add, namely, "one time is full marks, then again It is also full marks once."

The leading role of idols is really unfathomable. Only the second-generation Xiaobawang game consoles sold more than 300,000 units in the month before and after the end of the Los Angeles Olympic Games.

While people are marveling at the Olympic economy, the game industry is chanting ecstatically, the U.S. home video game console market is beginning to recover! And ea's stock price, which has been silent for more than a year, is also rising in corroboration.
