And Electrolux got a effects like advertisment for about save 30 millions USD by now. If it is design, I should say, perfect.

Now, the most famous brand in China is not Sony, not iPhone, not Microsoft, it is Exectrolux.

Google.cn unlocked this case again.

Private translated to "不公开", means "no public".
