October 30, Sunday afternoon.
Pei Qian was drinking coffee at Moyu Internet Cafe while using his laptop to check public opinions on the Internet.
Sure enough, after those club managers took back Tengda's regulations, they began to create public opinion on the Internet.
Since Friday night, some people on Weibo and forums broke the news that Tenda is preparing for the GPL league. Correspondingly, there is also news that "Tengda is suspected of squeezing the club."
Some of them are influential Vs, and some look like troll leaders. They forward their respective messages one after another. The source of the message cannot be known, and naturally it is not known which one it comes from. Rumor has it from the club.
The contents of the messages sent by these people are similar, and they are basically accompanied by the original text of the regulation.
“Tengda has established an e-sports division, requiring clubs not to sign private contracts with players, and in the event of disputes, they must accept official Tenda mediation. Even contracts cannot be freely negotiated between clubs and players. , they can only accept Tenda’s unified standard terms. If the club does not accept this condition, it will not be able to obtain admission to the GPL. Isn’t this too impersonal?”
“These clubs contribute money and effort. The GOG World Invitational Tournament is about to start, but you are turning your back on others?”
“The club and the official should have a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship. Both sides have their own areas of expertise. The game official should focus on improving the game content. In terms of ensuring a fair and just e-sports environment, over-involvement will only make the e-sports environment rigid!”
“To ensure the rights and interests of clubs, only when the interests of major clubs are guaranteed can they participate in the GPL without any worries. In the league, otherwise the club’s investment may be in vain at any time. Which club would dare to participate? This is a situation where the players, the audience, and the club all lose!”
“I think Tenda officials should seriously ensure this. Only by respecting the rights and interests of each major club and respecting the professionalism and accumulation of each club in the e-sports industry, and each playing a different role, can we ensure the healthy development of the domestic e-sports industry..."
Many people have already said Similar content was forwarded, with similar statements.
It is nothing more than emphasizing that Tenda’s GPL has numerous rules and excessive restrictions on clubs. In fact, it constitutes exploitation of clubs and is not conducive to the healthy development of the entire e-sports industry. All clubs have united to appeal. Boycott this phenomenon...
Many clubs have naturally forwarded similar views and expressed concern about this.
I didn’t say it explicitly, but the attitude was there.
Under these Weibo posts, players have different opinions.
Some people are in favor, some are against it, and some people just want to eat melon.
“After taking a look at this clause, I think Tenda’s starting point is good. It wants to regulate the e-sports environment, but I also don’t think about it. What will happen to the league if there are no clubs to support it? Clubs are partners, notIt can be squeezed blindly! ”
“Yes, Tenda is obviously doing this for its own interests and has squeezed the clubs too hard. Now, okay, all the clubs have united to oppose it. How can the GPL continue? ”
“I think Tengda is too impatient and unnecessary. We still have to give the club some room to survive.” "
"What are you talking about upstairs? Tenda has not hindered the club from making money. There are no restrictions on endorsements, competitions, or sponsorships. It only requires standard contracts and requires adjustment and supervision by Tenda. Is this excessive? Why are everyone reacting so violently? ”
“This is a good thing to standardize the industry, not to mention I believe in Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei must have his reasons for doing this! ”
“Forget it, this is not the time to argue about right and wrong. Both sides should take a step back and don’t make it impossible for everyone to step down. Mr. Pei’s GPL needs the support of other clubs to run it, right? ”
“Only children can tell the difference between right and wrong. Adults only care about interests. I think it’s a bit too much to exploit the club like this from the beginning. Give me a sweet date first, and then take your time later. "
"As a spectator, I don't care about this. Anyway, the GPL league will be launched as soon as possible. I can't wait to watch the game! ”
Obviously, there are some traces of navy activities here, but they are relatively hidden and cannot be seen by ordinary people.
The reason why public opinion is not one-sided is because of the club’s voice It’s big, and there are trolls involved. On the other hand, there are too few people who care about the rights of players.
Because the domestic e-sports industry is just in its infancy, and the players have just graduated from the stage of eating instant noodles. Transitioning to the stage of having no worries about food and clothing, many Internet-addicted teenagers have transformed into high-paying e-sports players.
Many people do not think it is a tragedy that they are cheated by contracts.
p>You get a salary of hundreds of thousands or millions a year just for playing games, and you still complain about being cheated all day long. Do you have any shame?
What’s more, there aren’t many vicious people at the moment. The contract dispute broke out.
So, the vast majority of people who eat melons are not aware of the importance of this matter. If they are slightly instigated by the trolls from the club, they will think that it is Tenda who is behind it. Making a fuss out of a molehill.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely have something to say, and they would have nowhere to vent their anger.
But Pei Qian was quite happy to see these public opinions.
It doesn’t matter whether you understand or not!
It’s best to make the club feel that they have a winning chance and sell all the GOG branches!
Just right! You can take this opportunity to take over all the GOG branches and slowly lose money.
I am happy to think about it.
So. Pei Qian has no intention of clarifying anything, and even if he does, it won't have much effect.
Let the public opinion continue to ferment, and I won't suffer any loss anyway.
I am browsing the Internet. superiorAfter his remarks, the phone vibrated. It was Zhang Yuan calling.
"Mr. Pei, the heads of each club have called again, saying that they have fully communicated with their bosses and hope to talk to us about the specific details of cooperation."
< p>"And I hope you can be there when we talk."Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.
This is because the club managers saw that the public opinion was almost fermented, and felt that their attitude should be relaxed, so they wanted to talk again and test their tone.
Zhang Yuan’s words don’t count, so he must talk to Mr. Pei in person.
Pei Qian replied directly: "Tell them that today is Sunday and Tengda is not at work. If you have anything to do, we will discuss it on Monday afternoon."
Obviously the public opinion is not fermented enough. It wouldn't hurt to wait another day.
What's more, Pei Qian didn't lie, Tengda did not work on weekends. Pei Qian himself has nothing to do on weekends, drinking coffee and browsing the web, but he has to meet with these club managers to discuss work?
Then Pei Qian really doesn’t want to go.
……
On the other side of the phone, DGE Club.
Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment: "Okay, Mr. Pei."
He turned around and looked at the club managers who came to the door: "Mr. Pei said, today We don’t work on Sunday, so please come back at 2pm on Monday. Sorry, I made all of you go to the office in vain.”
Manager Li and the other managers looked at each other in silence for a long time before nodding. ...Okay, let’s wait until Mr. Pei goes to work.”
After leaving the DGE Club, Manager Li and others looked at a loss.
They took the initiative to come to our door today because they felt that the public opinion was almost fermented. Mr. Pei probably realized the seriousness of the problem and it was almost time to talk about it.
Give Mr. Pei a step down. Since Mr. Pei is a smart person, he will definitely understand instantly, get off the donkey, and then both parties will start friendly negotiations and take a step back...
However, , the script doesn’t go that way at all!
Everyone lowered their voices and discussed in low voices.
"What's the situation?"
"Manager Li, this situation is very different from what you expected..."
"Mr. Pei still Are you in the mood to spend the weekend? The public opinion has reached this level. Do you really want to spend another day?"
"Could it be a miscalculation? Mr. Pei doesn't care about this at all, right? Isn’t all the preparation work in vain?”
“Not necessarily! I think Pei is always bluffing, deliberately extending the day, and showing that he doesn’t care at all, so that he can negotiate with us. It’s time to get more chips..."
"Well, that makes sense, so Mr. Pei only dared to delay for one more day."
The club managers analyzed it, but no one could. Not sure.
Because Mr. Pei’s move is really unreasonable and unpredictable.through.
Coupled with the fact that Tengda itself occupies an absolutely dominant position, Mr. Pei's move seems full of meaning and has to be interpreted in depth.
Manager Li was also a little unsure, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to scare yourself. Maybe Mr. Pei himself didn't know what he was doing and deliberately released this kind of smoke bomb for us. Create psychological pressure."
"Everyone should do whatever they want. Mr. Pei is not in a hurry, so why should we be anxious?"
"If there is anything, let's go to the conference table. Just talk.”
“As long as we unite and resist Tengda, victory will definitely belong to us!”
……
……< /p>
October 31st, Monday.
Pei Qian slept until he woke up naturally as usual, had lunch very calmly, played games at Moyu Internet Cafe for a while, and then walked slowly to the DGE Club.
Zhang Yuan made an appointment with these club managers at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Pei Qian was 15 minutes late on purpose.
Actually, there is no special reason. I just want to anger these club managers again.
When they get angry, they should simply sell the GOG branch, right?
At the same time, in the meeting room of the DGE Club.
The managers of each club looked a little confused.
What does it mean?
It’s okay to not see us on Sunday. We made an appointment on Monday, but Mr. Pei was late?
It is said that Pei is always a punctual person?
Is it possible that Mr. Pei is really that tough? By first delaying and then arriving late, you are making a statement to all clubs: If you dare to break up, then give it a try?
Manager Su had a vague feeling of something bad.
SUG’s Manager Li has a straight face. He can’t collapse now no matter what he says. If it collapses, other clubs will instantly become cowardly. Wouldn’t all the hard work be in vain?
What's more, Mr. Pei's behavior is probably just a bluff, and he must not show his cowardice.
Pei Qian came to the empty seat at the conference table. After looking around, he never mentioned the matter of being late. He just smiled slightly: "Have everyone made an agreement with the boss? If there is no problem, I would like to transfer GOG branch clubs, please raise your hands, we will sign the transfer contract right now."
The expressions of the club managers were all stunned, with question marks floating over their heads.
? ? ?
There are especially many question marks on Manager Li’s head.
Everyone was confused, almost thinking that they had missed a meeting or had lost their memory.
No, we agreed to discuss it in detail today?
We haven’t started talking yet, but you just assume that we want to sell?
