Although UYX has endorsed Minglin's products, its initial sales in the United States were not good. In the first month, only 4,000 units were sold.
In the minds of American consumers, Chinese-made products are all related to cheap and low-quality products, and do not possess any high-tech and innovative technologies. It is said that they have been named as MIT cooperation. What if they are selling dog meat through sheep’s head.
Due to the limited time and space of UYX's conference, Kevin could not explain the highlights and selling points of his own products like Ye Tang did at his own conference.
Consumers naturally hold a vigilant attitude, first wait and see to see what the evaluation of the person who bought the thing first, so as not to step on the thunder.
After all, Minglin's products are not cheap. A sweeping robot is 899 dollars, and a Xiaoming robot is 999 dollars, which is about the same price as a UYX mobile phone.
Such sales results have made Lin Wei and Minglei a little disappointed with confidence. They think their products are very good, but they have been advancing and expanding rapidly in China. They did not expect that it is difficult for foreign countries to follow the customs, there are big bosses, and they are still everywhere. Hit a wall.
There is only one month left until Ye Tang's work as a visiting scholar ends. She doesn't want to go home like this.
Seeing her depression, Professor Grosso comforted her and said that she had done a good job, "I think Minglin's product is very good, it just lacks publicity, you know that people nowadays would rather believe in advertising. Maybe you can invite Some American stars or public figures help you advertise."
Ye Tang also understands the importance of marketing, but in her life, she did not have the slightest intersection with American stars—in her previous life, she did live in the same community with Hollywood movie stars and Grammy singers. It is foreseeable that if you rush to find them and seek cooperation, they will not be as easy to talk as Kevin.
The time came in April, and Ye Tang's visiting scholar work ended, only one month was left, when the annual Boston Marathon kicked off.
Ye Tang signed up for this game.
She will run with nearly 30,000 runners from all over the United States and around the world, with different skin colors, different ages, different races...
The Boston Marathon is one of the oldest and most solemn marathons in the world. The opening ceremony and events are broadcast live all over the world.
At the opening ceremony? All senior members of the International Marathon Federation attended? Paul Calder, the chairman of the Federation, who took office only last year, took the stage to give a speech. He was tall and thin? Wearing a dark blue suit? He was neatly tied with a tie, and his dark skin was almost in the sun. Can shine.
"Ladies and gentlemen? Welcome everyone to the Boston Marathon..."
Ye Tang looks very inconspicuous in the crowd? Is she with the people around? Looking up at the black man on the big screen, after the City A Marathon that year, Ye Tang didn’t see Paul’s news again, and the news about him on the Internet was only Said that he recuperated after a serious injury.
Gradually? Ye Tang forgot this memory. Can't think of it in a blink of an eye? The former marathon runner has retired to become a leader.
A legend is a legend after all, and many marathon enthusiasts still regard Paul as an idol today.
He finished his speech, and there was deafening applause and cheers.
The starting gun fires and the game officially begins
American media shots are usually rarely given to Chinese contestants, unless they are exceptionally outstanding contestants. One and a half hours after the game? The US media caught Ye Tang.
She is in the top 100 leading position, ranking 72nd? You should know that 96 professional athletes participated in this competition. And as we all know, due to natural physical reasons, the yellow race is not outstanding in the field of track and field? Asian women's best results in the Boston Marathon are only 84th.
Who is this girl? Is she a professional athlete
The American audience who watched the live broadcast were very curious.
Some people don’t care? Running fast in the middle is nothing remarkable. If you sprint too hard in the front, the probability of being thrown away is greater.
The photographer found that Ye Tang's beautiful appearance was also a highlight, and gave her many close-up shots. Paul, who was chatting with colleagues, government officials, and other bigwigs, glanced at the live screen, and was stunned. He didn't even hear what the chief of Boston said.
Others followed his gaze and snickered, oh, a beautiful oriental girl, it's no wonder Paul was fascinated by it.
They found the registration information of Ye Tang based on the number plate on her body. It turned out that she was of Chinese nationality and her name was Ye Tang.
The camera turned back to the stadium, two-thirds of the schedule had passed, and Ye Tang not only did not fall behind, but also advanced 8 positions to 64th.
In addition to those famous players, she became another focus of the audience's attention.
At the end of the race, she tried her best to sprint and finally crossed the starting line in 56th place. Although she failed to make the top 50, he still set a record for Chinese women in the Boston Marathon.
Chen Yumo and Ye Tang had agreed, and waited for her at the end.
Ye Tang looked around for a week, but did not see Chen Yumo's shadow. Sweat dripped down her cheeks. She was still panting. When the US media wanted to interview her, they saw a handsome yellow man walking behind her, lightly. Patting her shoulder, she immediately turned her head and saw the other person, her eyes ranged from surprise to surprise, and the man's face also had a brilliant smile. The entire process was captured by US media cameras.
"How did you come?"
"I can't run a marathon with you, at least I have to accompany you to award awards," Luo Xingchuan brought a cool wet towel to wipe the sweat stains on Ye Tang's face.
Speaking of this, Ye Tang also felt sorry. The Boston Marathon had to register half a year in advance. Ye Tang forgot to remind Luo Xingchuan. When Luo Xingchuan logged into the system, the registration was closed.
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"If you say in advance, there will be no surprises. I only arrived early in the morning last night. I don't want to interrupt your rest. You have to recharge and prepare for today's game."
"Where is Yumo?"
"She said I'm here, she won't come, she doesn't want to be a light bulb."
…
The two were chatting, and suddenly they felt someone approaching and an inexplicable sense of oppression. They turned their heads and saw that Paul Calder didn't know when he actually walked to them. There were a few big men who came with him, Ye Tang admits. One of them is the head of Boston, and they also brought attention comparable to a 10,000-watt light bulb.
Countless people stared at Ye Tang inquiringly, but the first place in the competition failed to get Paul's personal greetings. As a result, the American media photographer kept aiming at Ye Tang, and Luo Xingchuan took the shot with him.
This year, Ye Tang was tanned in Boston, and Luo Xingchuan was also tanned at the construction site. They all had wheat-colored skin, showing a healthy and powerful body.
Their image and temperament have not been suppressed by the bigwigs at all.
Paul looked at Ye Tang and Luo Xingchuan at the same time, smiling, showing unusually white teeth, "My saviors, very happy, we meet again."
