Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

The latest website: FV Electronic Sports Club.

Wu Yue, who had just received the news, was very speechless and was a little angry.

"Is this official? The FV club's entry quota is officially given. The first seed quota is based on our ability. As a result, there are a total of three teams, and the other two are scheduled to go to Los Angeles for training. news?"

"Really don't take us as a biological team?"

"Just because there was a little holiday with President Pei, did you get a mentality like this?"

These e-sports clubs are well informed, and the FV e-sports club soon got the news: Longyu Group officially organized two other teams to go to Los Angeles to train in advance, and expedited visas are already in place. It is said that this time the food in Los Angeles The accommodation fee is all inclusive of the Longyu Group, and will also match the bridge to help the European and American teams to play training games.

As a result, all the news was learned from other sources. The Longyu Group did not intend to notify the FV club at all, and did not even explain it pretendingly!

This can only explain one problem: Longyu Group deliberately did not take the FV club to Los Angeles.

Manager Lu hurriedly persuaded: "General Wu, you are quiet, this matter is indeed too much, but we have no good way."

"This time I went to Los Angeles to play the training game in advance, it should be the spontaneous organization of the Longyu Group, and it is not in the process of the World Championship hosted by Finger Company."

"So the Longyu Group can also say that taking us is a sentiment, not taking it is our duty. They will bring whoever they want to take their own money. Many teams in other divisions do not enjoy this kind of treatment."

Wu Yue said: "This is discrimination! It is different treatment! We should complain, or simply publish it on Weibo and let everyone take a good look at the face of the group of people in Longyu Group!"

Manager Lu quickly shook his head: "Mr. Wu, this is wrong!"

"Longyu Group did not publicize this matter in an official capacity. If we broke it out, Longyu Group could immediately change it and say that this is a self-published behavior of the club. Longyu Group is only responsible for matchmaking and plays a small role. Because The truth of this matter is very easy to cover up. Let’s rush to start a group. As long as the Longyu Group fights Tai Chi with us, it’s easy to cover up the past. Instead, it seems that we are preoccupied with the heart of a gentleman.

"As for the complaint, it's even more useless. Doesn't it mean'whoever sue the official under the court'?"

"Not to mention, in the final analysis, e-sports is still about performance. Let’s go online and make a big deal of this, with a wave of rhythm, in case if the world game is not played well. Then the public opinion will definitely go back, then we will even count It’s not reasonable."

"Think about what the netizens will say at the time when the World Championship loses: the team that is so good to ask the official for money to go to Los Angeles for the training game? It should have given up the quota directly to SUG!"

"Anyway, as long as we lose, that rhythm will definitely fly everywhere, and we can't help but consider the consequences now."

Wu Yue nodded with a black face: "Well, it seems that Zhao Xuming got this right. I feel that even if we poke out, we won't get any benefit, so we are so blatantly, just to kill the chickens and monkeys, and beat us by the way to Tengda."

"Then... can we only eat a dumb loss? The Longyu Group has done such a disgusting thing, can't we even say it?"

Lu Jing thought for a while: "It must be possible to say, but not now."

"Jumping out to start a group before the result of the game is out of the way is a fool's thing. On the one hand, it puts a huge amount of public pressure on the players and affects their performance; on the other hand, if the game is lost, the opponent will take the opportunity If you fall into the well and the people eating melon will not stand on our side, then you really have to go directly into the soil."

"The best way is to settle the accounts after the autumn and win the game, we can use the victory to make all these things clear, and the best choice is to output the wind."

"So for us, the best option now is to bear the burden of humiliation, try not to let this matter affect the mentality of our players, and actively prepare for the battle. When we get good results in the world competition, we can use the pressure of public opinion to fight back the Longyu Group. Now."

"As long as we have better results than the other two clubs, then whether we have won the first runner-up or not, even if it is only a semi-finals, quarter-finals, there are words."

"At that time we can say that the official differential treatment resulted in poor performance in the entire division. If we are given the same treatment, our results may be better, etc."

"In short, everything still depends on the results, nothing is worthless."

Wu Yue was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "It's difficult!"

"Although the paper strength of our current lineup is good, judging from the previous qualifiers, the strength is only between Bo Zhongzhong and the other two teams, and it also has a little light on the schedule. Maybe it will be another fight. The bladder game doesn't necessarily beat them."

"The benefits of going to Los Angeles for training are obvious. You can play European and American clothing with low latency, better adapt to the version, and play training games with the current stronger European and American teams. The improvement in strength will definitely be faster than ours."

"We can't rely on fantasies if we want to win."

Manager Lu nodded and felt that the situation was indeed grim.

E-sports does not mean that you can win with determination and perseverance, but also requires scientific training methods and good supporting facilities.

Many players are extremely talented, but in some clubs they can't achieve results. This is often because the club's management is poor, the training method is wrong, and the supporting facilities cannot keep up.

Wu Yue said, "Shall we also go to Los Angeles?"

Manager Lu was silent for a moment: "The Longyu Group organized them to go to Los Angeles because they were able to get on line with the finger company. When they got there, they could get high-end bureau accounts for European and American clothing. Looking at the attitude of Longyu Group towards us, even if we go out of our pockets, we definitely don't have these things!"

"We can't always go far to Los Angeles. As a result, when the team members go, they will rank in the low section of the European and American suits all day? Isn't that more practice and more dishes?"

"What's more, our big group of people has a lot of expenses. I went to the room and board in advance to take care of myself. I have to give the team members a good meal, plus the entourage... It is calculated by 8 people, how can it be 200,000 . If we take the second team into consideration, we must double it again."

"Of course, our club can afford this money. The problem is that the cost will not necessarily guarantee the training effect, and the cost performance is too bad."

Wu Yue thought for a while and it was indeed the case.

The Longyu Group organized two other teams to train in Los Angeles because they had high-end bureau accounts and were able to make appointments to European and American teams for training. If not, it is really not necessary to spend hundreds of thousands to adapt to the environment in advance.

Thinking over and over again, Wu Yue said: "This kind of trivial matter doesn't seem to bother President Pei very well, so, let me call President Zhang of the e-sports business department at Tengda and let him help the staff."

"If it is really not necessary, we will not go, and stay in the country to play training games with the domestic team, and other training games will wait until the world competition."

...

...

Saturday, December 17.

Today, there is a routine meeting for the management of compensation.

This year's Spring Festival is relatively early, January 23, so the time of the exam week is also advanced, and the students who are compensating are spending a lot of time to review after work.

There is not much information that needs to be paid attention to at this regular meeting of management and compensation. After all, most products are still in the final stage of development, and products such as fully automatic intelligent bar lifts have not shown signs of backstabs, so here is natural There is not much useful information.

Pei Qian knew that it was a tough battle starting next month.

As a result, the billing cycle happened to coincide with the exam week. I have to say that this feeling is very refreshing.

Whether you can beat the old horse in this exam depends on the trembling before the exam.

The management and compensation students still report the situation of their respective departments as usual, and it is the turn of the management and compensation students of the e-sports business department.

This management has always followed Zhang Yuan, who was originally responsible for the DGE club. After the establishment of the e-sports division and the GPL league, it naturally entered the internals. Whether it is DGE or other clubs, or even the entire e-sports club. He couldn't escape his eyes.

"The GPL pre-season is about to enter the second half. The current game is all going well. Occasional encounters with some in-game bugs and equipment problems have been properly resolved. It should be able to accumulate a lot of experience for the spring season."

"At present, the main lineup of the GPL clubs has basically been fixed. Those teams that have not participated in the GPL preseason are also playing training games and actively preparing for the spring games."

"The new batch of players of DGE Club has been wiped out. Although the strength is worse than the earliest batch of players, this group of people is after all talented and trained by the old players. The team is still in the main position..."

Pei Qian's hands holding the tea cup could not help but tremble.

Although I have been psychologically prepared for this, I still felt a tremor when I really heard the news.

There are ten more players, how much does this have to sell!

This group of players is the second group of players after Huang Wang and Jiang Huan were bought by the group. They are still selling very well. This time, the transfer fee is enough for Mr. Pei to drink a pot.

There is a reason why DGE players are selling well.

The first is the reputation of the DGE club. Potential newcomers tend to come to the DGE club to raise their prices, while other clubs feel that the players who buy the DGE club will never lose money, so they buy it more simply.

Really capable potential newcomers are willing to come to the DGE club, because once they have scored, they can immediately jump to other clubs to get big contracts. DGE never engages in card contracts or snow storage. The newcomers are more secure; As far as the club is concerned, the DGE club does not directly participate in the competition, it does not pose a threat to their own achievements, and it also helps to train the team members, so it is also happy to buy people from DGE.

Those old players who have gone out of DGE will come back to point out the newcomers of DGE after a short distance. Over time, "the players from DGE can all stand alone" has become the inherent impression of the entire league spectators and clubs, making DGE's operation into a Virtuous circle.

As a result, DGE's new team members are like stubble leeks, which can be sold every once in a while, earning a huge transfer fee.

In this regard, Pei Qian is powerless.

He pretended to drink tea calmly and asked, "So, how much is the transfer fee?"

Guan Shengsheng said: "The performance of these ten players is different. Some of them have strong operation or command ability. The C position is relatively expensive. The transfer fee is up to 1.5 million. If it is a kind of general performance, It may be only about 7 million or 800,000, about 1 million. Together these players, the transfer fee was sold for about 13 million."

Pei Qian: "..."

A fake word almost blurted out.

This number seriously exceeded his psychological expectations!

The transfer fees of Huang Wang, Jiang Huan and others were all around 2 million, so Pei Qian thought that the transfer fee of these young players was 1 million.

But obviously this is not the case!

At the earliest time, the transfer fees of star players such as Huang Wang and Jiang Huan were also a little bit ridiculously high. After all, the major clubs are aiming for the results of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament for high bonuses and exposure.

However, with the increasing market share of GOG in the world, the success of the GOG Global Invitational, and the popularity of the GPL league...

After this series of operations, the value of star players such as Huang Wang and Jiang Huan is also rapidly expanding as more and more capital enters the market!

Now their transfer fee is not two million.

The value of the head players has increased, and the value of the second batch of potential newcomers of DGE club will naturally rise.

Ten people seem to be few, but when the transfer fees are added together, they go to 13 million.

Pei Qian felt that it was not this number, but time!

After all, Mr. Pei has also met people from all over the world, and hundreds of millions of funds have entered and exited several times, not to mention 10 million in this area.

Anyway, I can't reach my hands, it's just a number.

The key is how much time it takes to earn more than 10 million!

The introduction of these players was in September, and it is now December. It took only three months to train them. It will cost 13 million yuan when they change hands!

In this way, the average DGE club earns more than 4 million per month, easily.

Not to mention the commercial sponsorship and live broadcast contract of DGE Club!

The daily expenses of the DGE club are really not much. The training base is rented by Mr. Li. Manager Cui of Mingyun Mountain Villa can’t wait to provide Mr. Pei as his father. The daily expenses such as rent and utilities are not much.

The only place to spend money may be daily expenses such as meals and fitness.

But there are fish takeaways and hosting gyms. How much can these players spend even if they are open to practice?

Pei Qian felt very tired.

Everyone starts a club to burn money. The original intention of starting a club is to burn money. As a result, playing it becomes money!

A club that specializes in buying and selling players' money, and a club that can't play the game but is bigger than the champion team, is ridiculous to think about.

It is said that the DGE club is well-trained, and it should earn more than 10 million transfer fees, but the problem is that these players are already good seedlings!

Because potential newcomers are eager to get into the DGE club and use this as their first choice, as long as they try to train a few potential potential newcomers.

Just like many super middle schools, you have accepted all the high-quality students around you. Can the final results be bad?

Pei Qiang silently took a sip of tea and adjusted his mind: "Continue."

Guan Shengsheng continued: "At present, many clubs have received sponsorships. Although the number is different, and it is impossible to maintain the operation of the club with some sponsorships for a while, this is also a good start."

"Before the start of the spring season, some teams should have the sponsor logo on their uniforms. Although there are too many sponsors, it is not good, but it is not good to have no sponsors at all. It will make the audience feel that the league is not hot enough."

Pei Qian nodded slightly, and the sponsor would charge the club anyway. It doesn’t matter to me.

Guan Shengsheng remarked and said: "In addition, there are many sponsors who have expressed strong interest in the GPL's exclusive title, including computer manufacturers, peripheral manufacturers, as well as sportswear, digital products, automobiles and other manufacturers."

"However, the specific price has not been finalized and is still under negotiation."

"At present, the exclusive cooperation quotation of a single type of business is about 5 million a year, and the exclusive title quotation is about 20 million a year. Because it involves some details of sponsorship, it is still being discussed. "

"As for the live broadcast platform, the broadcast rights of the GPL spring and summer games will be considered for authorization to the three live broadcast platforms. The base price is 10 million. At present, the bidding price should be more than 12 million..."

"These are still being talked about, and President Zhang is also summarizing all aspects of the news, which should be reported soon."

Listening to these numbers, Pei Qian felt that his hands and feet were cold and his brain was blank.

I thought that the crazy selling of the DGE club was already bad news, and now I found that the real bad news is still behind!

Recently, Pei Qian’s attention has all been attracted by the ioi qualifier and the cold noodle girl, and he has not paid much attention to the GPL side. It is completely unexpected that the situation is already so serious!

In fact, I should have thought that there are so many sponsors who are looking for team cooperation, there will definitely be more people looking for official cooperation!

The current sponsorship price of the GPL league is also tiered.

A single type of exclusive cooperation refers to the monopoly of a certain category of goods after a certain brand sponsors. For example, a sports apparel signed an exclusive cooperation with the GPL, so the GPL will not discuss cooperation with other sports apparel in the future.

Of course, this does not affect the official cooperation with manufacturers such as computers, automobiles, and digital products.

As for the exclusive title, it can also be regarded as the chief sponsor, that is, it will get the best official recommendation resources, and the quotation is naturally the highest.

As for the live broadcast platform, the competition is even more fierce. After all, the major live broadcast platforms are all in the stage of crazy money and diversion. Failure to obtain the GPL broadcast rights will give users a feeling that this platform is not good. , So the bid price was fired very high.

Having said that, this amount is incomparable with the kind of sponsorship fees of hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions in Pei Qian's memory.

But the question is, where is this?

The GOG game was born less than a year ago. There is no such recognition in China for e-sports. Now we can get such a high sponsorship fee. In Pei Qian's opinion, it is already very ridiculous!

However, if you think about it carefully, it also has certain rationality.

Because of the popularity of the GOG World Finals, everyone has seen the huge potential of e-sports, and the GPL has done so well. There are currently no competitors.

What's more, Shenhua and other giant companies have entered the market, and GPL sky-high quotas and other news are constantly stimulating the audience's nerves. The sponsors see the advertising effect brought by the huge heat, and compare it with the traditional sports quotation, I think it is very cost-effective , Naturally entered one after another.

Pei Qian silently calculated, the GPL is very likely to make hundreds of millions of dollars through various sponsorships and broadcasting rights of the spring and summer games.

The good news is that the hundreds of millions of dollars were earned throughout the year, and it would be a little more acceptable to apportion every month.

The bad news is that sponsorship fees may be higher next year.

Pei Qian thought about it, and I was afraid that the money could not be pushed away.

In this case, you have to tell Zhang Yuan to let these sponsors pay in installments, spread the money evenly every month, and don’t call them all at once, especially not at the critical node just before the settlement.

Otherwise, President Pei will ascend to the same place.

"Is there anything else?" Pei Qian felt a little tired.

Guan Shengsheng thought for a while: "Oh, there is a little thing about the FV club. It is said that the Longyu Group will arrange for domestic teams to train in Los Angeles, but the FV team is left alone..."

Wu Yue called Zhang Yuan to discuss the matter. Because there was no need to keep it secret, Guan Shengsheng also knew.

After hearing this, Pei Qian couldn't help but shine.

How can this be trivial?

Nothing is cheap!

This Wu Yue, this Zhang Yuan, both of them should be severely criticized! This kind of thing is not reported to me immediately, what do you want?

Longyu Group took two teams to Los Angeles, leaving FV club alone?

Good thing!

This gave me a very precious opportunity to spend money!

According to the cost of Los Angeles, if you bring more people, set the highest room and board standards allowed by the system... This may cost a lot of money!

After hearing so much bad news, there is finally good news.

Immediately after the regular meeting for the loss of life, Pei Qian immediately called Wu Yue.

...

At the FV club, Wu Yue was struggling with team training. When he saw the call from President Pei, he quickly answered it.

"Hello? Mr. Pei, what's the matter?" Wu Yue asked.

President Pei on the phone seemed a little unhappy: "Why don't you tell me about other clubs going to Los Angeles?"

Wu Yue froze for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "Oh, Mr. Pei, you don't have to worry about this kind of trivial matter. I can handle it."

Pei Qian: "What can you do well? Can you make arrangements to arrange first-class tickets and five-star hotels for all team members, or can you find a training opponent for the team?"

Wu Yue: "I..."

He thought about it, but he couldn't. Although the money on the books of the FV club is enough, it is really difficult for him to make this decision by spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in advance to Los Angeles.

Pei Qian said: "There is no need to struggle with this matter, go to apply for an expedited visa for everyone! How many people are there in the FV club?"

Wu Yue thought for a while: "The first team consists of 5 members, the second team also has 5 members, plus me, Manager Lu, other team members, etc..."

"Ah, but you don't need so many people. Just let a team of players and Manager Lu go. Six people are just three standard rooms."

After hearing this, Pei Qian was very unhappy: "How can six people do?"

"As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses don't move, the grain and grass first. To march to war, the logistics supply can't keep up with it and hit a hammer?"

"The place in Los Angeles is unfamiliar, you have to find an interpreter, and then go to the local to find a guide who is familiar with the situation. Usually you have to arrange someone to eat and live."

"You can't eat sloppy food. Check there to see if there is any Chinese food with better taste, to ensure that the members' daily diet will not cause problems, and don't affect their physical condition."

"Four more bodyguards, I heard that the security in the United States is not good enough, you have to ensure the safety of the players."

"Let's bring another sparring team... I think the SUG is good. In this way, I will pay for all the players on the SUG and go with you."

"So, a total of 30 people will be arranged according to the standard room and board standard of 3,000 yuan per person per day, and live until the end of the game. It will be about five weeks in total?"

"Only the room and board standard, you have 3.15 million. Well, when you arrive in Los Angeles, you might have to buy shopping, buy some souvenirs, go back to cheaper digital products and so on, plus find the tour guides and bodyguards mentioned earlier. Costs, taking into account some possible emergencies..."

"In this way, a whole round, 4 million won."

Wu Yue was dumbfounded.

Going to Los Angeles for 4 million?

Adding one piece to the entire FV club is not worth so much money!

Wu Yue hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, there is no need for this! The Finger Company side will cover the room and board after the start of the race, so the real money we need is just a round-trip flight ticket."

"Even if we go one week in advance, this week's room and board have to take care of themselves, and there is no need for a standard of 3,000 yuan per person. The decent standard room for two people near the venue can be won within 1,000 yuan."

"The accommodation arranged by Finger Company is better, but the standard room for two people is only 200 dollars per night, which is about 1,400 yuan..."

Pei Qian didn't like to listen at that time.

What do you mean, don’t want me to spend money?

According to your minimum standard, six people go to live in a standard room of 1,000 yuan a night, and only pay for the first week?

I am afraid that it would be enough to spend more than a hundred thousand!

Pei Qian immediately interrupted Wu Yue: "We have to arrange board and lodging for us, do we have to go to UU reading www.uukanshu.com? What if the board and lodging conditions arranged by Finger Company do not meet our requirements?"

"The team members traveled thousands of miles to play in a foreign country. Are you really able to afford the problem? There is a proverb that you can take precautions and spend some money to eliminate these hidden dangers. This is very cost-effective!"

"Just do what I said, and the money will soon pass."

After Pei Qian finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Wu Yue looked at the phone screen that had been hung up and fell into a daze.

30 places?

The first team and the second team of the FV club plus the five main players of SUG are only 15 people.

Where can you find 30 people?
