  Chapter 352 Proposal

   "Senior, have you ever heard of e-sports?"

   "E-sports? What is that? A brand new sport? You young people really like to toss."

   "No, no, no, it should have nothing to do with sports, just lie in front of the computer or the TV to play games, and then compete."

   "Huh? This thing has competition?"

   "Yes, this thing is still competitive, and it is very popular recently. Our country is vigorously supporting it."

   In a restaurant in Korea, several people in the field of sports are having a meal here.

   The most recent concern for younger people is the new policies that their country has just announced.

   In order to gain a head start in a completely new field, South Korea is preparing to develop e-sports with the power of the whole country.

   Of course, this is not something that came up just by slapping one's head, but after a multi-party summary determined that e-sports has great potential for development, it was planned to vigorously promote it.

   This kind of thing has nothing to do with the traditional sports industry.

   But suddenly saying that this kind of thing sitting in one place motionless is called competition, which made them a little uncomfortable.

   And what makes them more concerned is that the South Korean government is willing to exempt him from compulsory military service if he achieves a world-class ranking in e-sports.

   In the normal laws and regulations of South Korea, exemption from military service is a very gimmicky thing.

  The vast majority of Koreans do not like the policy of compulsory military service, but no matter how many governments have passed, this has never changed.

  Many people hate military service to the point of being willing to flee their country.

  Especially for a group of young people who like to play games, these people had almost no chance of exemption from military service in the past, and could only wait desperately to serve in the military.

   In the past, people who wanted to be exempted from military service were either diagnosed with mental illness, or who made a significant contribution to the country, or who won a major sports medal.

   But now there is a brand new exemption from military service.

   That is to get a world-class eSports number one.

  According to the information released by the Korean government, a game that is still under development is a top priority project.

   The world-class champion, runner-up or third runner-up in this project can be exempted from military service every year.

  Other e-sports events require the annual champion of the year.

   "What? These guys who only know how to play electric games at home every day can be exempted from military service? Are those guys in the government crazy? Why do they dare to do this?"

   This person from the traditional sports industry stared, and he obviously couldn't believe what the younger generation told him.

   "Senior, this is indeed a policy that our country has just implemented, and we plan to vigorously develop it. I heard that we have reached a cooperative relationship with a game developer in Japan, and we will deepen our influence in the future."

   "This term of the Korean government is really fed up, why should I choose such a group of guys to be the new leadership group?"

   This person in the traditional sports industry said indignantly.

   Originally, he was in a very good mood today, because this year is the year when the Olympic Games are held, and people from the traditional sports industry will be very popular in such a year.

   But suddenly he felt very bad when he heard what his junior said.

   These **** high-level government officials, I should have voted for another group of people.

   The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the good mood of the day was ruined.

   No, he felt like he couldn't accept it no matter what.

   You can exempt a group of guys who only know how to play games from military service. This is obviously the Korean government's intention to compare with their serious sports industry.

   How can something like sitting in front of the screen and watching the movement of the villain on the screen be comparable to their real movement?

   "Stop drinking, I'm going back."

  This drink did not make him happy, he returned home gloomy, and then tossed and turned in bed without falling asleep most of the night.

   In the end, he couldn't help but get up again, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Jin Zhi and seniors? I'm sorry to disturb you so late, I wonder if you have heard about the new policy of the Korean government recently? They seem to want to implement a new e-sports project, and they also gave a discount on military service exemption. policy."

   "Oh, e-sports is a bunch of guys who play video games in front of the TV. I heard that they are going to form a brand new competitive event. This is a complete joke!"

"That's right, senior, you think so too, right? It really makes people feel more and more angry. It is obvious that we have worked so hard to bring honor to the country, but only a few people can win the award of the country, and e-sports is a brand new industry. It's obviously unfair to be on an equal footing with us from the very beginning!"

"What? Senior, do you want to talk to the congressman? That's great, I also have the same idea. I actually even want to make a joint protest, so that this group only knows how to play video games in front of the TV every day. The guys in the world understand that there is no future for that thing, and if you have that time, it's better to go out and exercise more!"

   "Okay, okay, senior, you are really far-sighted, I am relieved to have your words."

   Hanging up the phone, this person from the traditional sports industry suddenly felt much more comfortable.

   He made a disdainful expression.

  Those who play electric cars also want to gain social status. This is obviously a fool's dream.

  Since they really want to gain status, they should try to suppress them well, so that they can understand who is the real boss.

   That night, many people in the Korean traditional sports industry jointly launched an advocacy, hoping that the government will not be stubborn. If you want to vigorously develop the national economy, wouldn’t it be better to invest money in these more mature traditional sports? Why bet on that new and uncharted territory.

   The electronic stuff that your government can’t handle, it’s better to cooperate with our traditional sports.

   These traditional sports people also have friends with some officials.

   They sent their initiative to the government very quickly through these friends.

   However, when the senior government officials saw it, they decisively ignored the initiative of this group of people.

   Then continue to connect with the Japanese side.

   They may not know whether this choice is correct, but the development of the cultural industry is bound to be carried out.

  E-sports is a part of cultural promotion strategy, which does not conflict with traditional sports.

   They have to come out and want something good. A group of old fritters from the government have already understood them thoroughly, so they simply ignored the demands of the other party.
