Start with hooves

News about the Little Yellow Duck Drifting Competition has spread all over the world in recent days, attracting countless people to look forward to it.

Both sides of the Hudson River.

Today not only many New York residents came to join in the fun, but also people came from nearby New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and other places.

The travel expenses spent may be more than the US$19.99 registration fee. It is treated as a grand event, just like the football or basketball finals.

Getting excited to the point of screaming over trivial things is very American. Compared with the extra rational Chinese, they seem to be more likely to get carried away.

Unfortunately, the Hudson River is too long to charge them for admission.

Otherwise, by selling tickets, you can probably earn millions more dollars to buy peaches for golden monkeys or hire security guards for kakapos.

Filming of the reality show continues.

Suri faced the camera and personally introduced the rules of the competition.

He said that everything depends on the luck of the little yellow duck and its owner. After the event received support from the New York City Hall, manpower was also deployed from the Coast Guard to ensure that no one cheated and interfered with the results of the competition along the way.

With such a good opportunity, it is expected that the ratings will not be low after this program is broadcast. Of course, we must take the opportunity to advertise.

The Dajiang drones flying in the sky are also patrolling over the Hudson River.

In the middle of last month, its manufacturer just received a financing amount of US$750 million from Suri.

He immediately arranged the advertisement today and personally brought the goods to tell him that he could reserve this portable drone in advance through the Amazon mall to take pictures of the magnificent landscapes around the world.

Other celebrities do promotions and endorsements, and they can easily get scolded if they are not careful.

Suri doesn't need to worry too much. He has often advertised through Facebook, Youtube and other platforms in the past two years. Fans have long been accustomed to this. As long as the product is interesting enough, people will not be disgusted.

After testing the fans' attitude, Suri has now brazenly and unscrupulously posted the link to the limited order of 500 Dajiang drones directly in front of the camera on his Facebook account.

The drone currently flying over the Hudson River has not yet begun mass production, and the research and development work has not been completely completed.

Suri's idea was to break the news first.

In this way, as long as a competitor appears, other netizens will stand up and publicly accuse the other party of plagiarizing his ideas without him showing up in person.

Although there are other companies making quadcopter drones, they have not yet officially entered the field of consumer drones.

Just like whether Michael Jackson's moonwalk was original or whether Apple and Microsoft copied the Xerox graphical interface.

This first advertisement alone can save Dajiang from many detours and save countless advertising fees.

After finishing the promotion smoothly, Suri came to the George Washington Bridge again.

You can see a total of 10 rubber ducks hanging in net bags on both sides of the bridge. They will be released into the river as soon as : and go down the current.

The final station is set up in lower Manhattan, and floating ropes are used to intercept the little yellow ducks who fail to break into the winning circle.

Because of the "S·DUCK" sub-brand, Hoshino Yuko also led the staff of the YOYO brand Fifth Avenue flagship store today to sell short-sleeves, shorts and hats with cartoon yellow duck patterns near the starting point of the competition.

The game was a bit rushed and the production cycle was too short.

Today's batch of goods was shipped to New York via air freight, and the quantity is limited.

Even in the middle of winter, there are still many people queuing up, waiting to check out and buy S·DUCK brand products. The iconic cartoon yellow duck pattern makes these customers find it very interesting. In addition, it is a "first-run limited edition", which has collectible significance, even if it is more expensive, it is acceptable.

"Hi, partner, someone on the Internet spread rumors that we broke up. I'm here to let you appear. How are the sales today?"

It was Suri who spoke.

Hoshino Yuko stood next to him, wearing a down jacket with a yellow duck pattern on it, paired with a white turtleneck sweater and jeans.

With her usually pretty personality, she would actually go out wearing jeans. This shows that it is really cold in New York today.

Facing the photographer, Hoshino Yuko smiled and said:

"People often talk about me and you on the Internet. I have long been used to it. As long as Daddario doesn't get angry, it doesn't matter to me. I have sold more than 600 items so far. When the event is over, I can treat you to Chinatown. Feast."

The two deliberately kept a distance to avoid revealing some details. Although we have entered the 21st century, people are more open-minded. As long as they are not officially married, it does not matter even if they publicly declare that they like open relationships. But since they can hide it, it is best The less trouble, the better.

The YOYO brand has developed to this day. Yuko Hoshino holds about 35% of the shares, Su Rui, who has invested multiple times, holds 50% of the shares, and the remaining shares belong to Daddario.

Earlier, the YOYO brand lacked funds to open chain stores in Asia. Yuko Hoshino did not have enough funds on hand, so Suri and Daddario both invested money.

After all, they are "good sisters". Under Suri's deliberate arrangement, this is a bowl of water, so as not to exclude Daddario completely. Even if he doesn't say it, he will have opinions in his heart.

Some time ago, Su Ruigang authorized the funny oil paintings he created to YOYO company to develop peripheral products.

During the Milan Spring Fashion Week, the YOYO brand gained a lot of attention with the weird patterns on its clothes. The effect was many times better than a high-priced advertising company to customize a promotion plan, and related news became popular all over the world.

Now that there is a S·DUCK sub-brand, I believe this company’s performance next year should still maintain rapid growth.

I just had a brief chat with Hoshino Yuko and it was already close to 9:30 in the morning.

After receiving the reminder from Director Greg, Suri turned his attention to the George Washington Bridge and waited patiently for about two minutes. With a whistle, the rope binding the net bag was cut by the staff, and a lot of little yellow ducks fell out. Into the Hudson River.

I saw a large number of little yellow ducks appearing on the river, drifting slowly southward as the river flowed.

They were still bunched together at first, but soon separated with the current, some were pushed to the shore, and some drifted directly downstream.

The distance is quite long.

A group of idle onlookers walked south along the river, wondering whether the little yellow duck they had spent money to bet on could win this alternative game.

Don’t look at the Roadster electric sports car originally produced by Tesla. It is not popular in the market and its sales are pitifully low. But getting a car worth about US$9 for free is another matter.

何况，除了Roadster电动跑车之外，还有数额分别定为10万、5万、4万、3万、2万美元的巨额奖金。

Before the results come out, everything is possible. There is a middle-aged black man on the shore, pumping his fists and shouting excitedly: "Run! Come on, run! 055253!!!"

Not that he's crazy.

It is estimated that this guy spent US$19.99 and only bet on this one number. If he is lucky enough to win the first place, the value of the prize is almost equivalent to the income of an ordinary person for three or four years.

It is said to be a little yellow duck rafting competition, but it is actually very similar to horse racing. Many spectators at the scene were attracted to it, and their cheers and cheers were getting louder and louder one after another.
