Noon.
The center of Jingzhou is a vast world.
Pei Qian, Lin Wan, Zhang Yuan and Min Jingchao came to the square outside the shopping mall.
You can already see it from a distance. There is a huge promotional poster hanging outside the Yuanda Tiandi building. The poster originally promoting the GOG Global Finals has been removed and replaced by the promotion of the GPL League. poster.
Previous GOG Global Finals posters mainly printed GOG’s iconic heroes, such as Modeste and Wind Scroll Nguyen, as well as the words GOG’s first global invitational tournament.
But now, the main part of the GPL poster has become the battle flags of all clubs. The sixteen battle flags have the logos of each club painted on them. Of course, most of these logos are also related to the parent company’s brand. There is a connection.
For example, Shenhua Real Estate’s team SHG has made some changes based on Shenhua Real Estate’s logo, making it appear more fashionable and have the charm of an e-sports club.
However, through the logo and team name, people can see that this club is connected to Shenhua Real Estate, which can have the effect of promoting the company's brand.
Sixteen war flags were neatly arranged in two rows, like a battlefield where two armies faced off. The flags were fluttering and majestic.
Although the entire promotional poster does not have all kinds of flashy heroes, it is very atmospheric.
At present, GOG has a strong influence in China, especially the customers who often come to Yuanda Tiandi, and they have basically associated this poster with GOG.
So, there is no need for those flashy heroes to support the scene. The protagonists now are the clubs of GPL, and the main stage must be left to them.
Pei Qian is very satisfied with this poster.
Finally, I no longer have to hang up a large Modeste, which is a relief!
The four of them came to the shopping mall, where there were all kinds of restaurants, drink shops, and shops.
Manager Zhang from the mall was already waiting inside. When he saw the four people arriving, he hurriedly greeted them.
After their respective introductions, Manager Zhang suggested: "Mr. Pei, it's almost noon. There are many high-end restaurants here. Which one do you want to eat at? It is said that a new one has opened recently. "How about I treat you to the high-end buffet?"
Tengda has signed a long-term agreement with Yuanda Tiandi, and the GPL league has attracted so many big companies to form clubs to participate. Regardless of any consideration, this kind of big customer must have a good relationship.
Pei Qian waved his hand: "No, just have something to eat."
Manager Zhang said quickly: "That won't work, Mr. Pei, it's just right for you to come all the way." It would seem that I am not treating guests well if I am in time for dinner."
Lin Wan smiled: "Manager Zhang, don't be too polite."
" You have less contact with Mr. Pei.I don’t know Mr. Pei’s character. ”
“Mr. Pei has always been an extremely pragmatic person and doesn’t like such imaginary things. Otherwise, a person of Mr. Pei's status would not be able to keep eating his own takeout. ”
“This time, Pei always wants to take a look at the preparations for the GPL League. We treat ourselves as ordinary spectators. We will eat whatever the ordinary spectators are prepared to eat.” ”
“You don’t need to accompany us, we just wander around casually.” ”
Manager Zhang was not too insistent: “I see, then Mr. Pei, you can make your own arrangements. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time.” ”
The four of them, Pei Qian, were wandering around the mall while walking up to the upper level. The scene around the escalator had turned into various materials to promote the GPL league.
At the last moment When you go up the escalator, the battle flags of each club are hung on both sides, as if you are passing through a passage lined with flags, heading to a cruel battlefield.
The outside of the GPL competition venue on the top floor has also been decorated in accordance with relevant regulations. A comprehensive transformation has been carried out according to the requirements of the audience, including the official support prop customization area and other supporting areas, various customized figures and props around GOG games, etc.
In fact, these empty spaces were originally there. , but made full use of it to make the game and confrontation atmosphere of the entire venue more immersive.
After entering the venue, Pei Qian found that there were obvious changes in the venue.
First of all, the two areas in the front row of the stadium have turned blue and red respectively, which means that fans of the red and blue sides of the game can cheer and support their respective teams.
As for other areas, such as the back. The row area is prepared for neutral spectators, but the position in the back row of the red area is still a little more towards the red side, which can also play a certain role in distinguishing it.
The walls around the venue are hung high. The battle flags of each club and the corresponding team's battle flags will light up during the game.
Moreover, all the details on the stage seem to have been re-planned. It seems that the people in charge of the GPL league are feeble. A lot of thought was put into it.
Lin Wan said: "I specially asked Liang Qingfan to come over. Although the overall decoration style cannot be greatly changed, it is still okay to add some embellishments. "
"Liang Qingfan rearranged the stage, seats and walls. Compared with the previous Global Invitational Tournament, the atmosphere of the entire venue has obviously been improved a lot. ”
“In addition, our broadcast station and various on-site camera equipment have also been reconfigured. For example, this swing arm was just bought, and it can help us take a bird's-eye view, showing that the venue is packed. ”
“Mr. Pei, do you think there is anything that needs improvement?” "
Pei Qian shook his head silently: "No more, everything is fine." ”
Sometimes what makes Pei Qian feel most melancholy is that he doesn’t have to take care of anything, and his employees will take care of things spontaneously.
There are many people in the venue .
Because Yuanda Tiandi is originally a shopping mall in the core area of Jingzhou, it has a large flow of people, and the GPL e-sports competition venue on the top floor has been completely renovated and can be said to be completely new. Even though there is no competition now, many people come to visit out of curiosity.
Pei Qian didn’t want to attract attention, so he just walked around the corner and kept a low profile.
However, at this moment, Lin Wan suddenly saw a familiar figure.
A Westerner with a slightly bald head is quite conspicuous among the Chinese people.
Lin Wan hurriedly said: "Huh? Mr. Pei, isn't this the Eric?"
Although Lin Wan and Eric only met once, but At that time, Eric's beard was longer than his hair and his eyes were higher than his head. She was deeply impressed, so she quickly recalled it.
Pei Qian followed Lin Wan's finger and saw Eric.
Eric was originally facing this side, observing the battle flag on the wall. Then he found a seat and sat down, and began to observe the player seats and big screen on the stage. equipment.
This is the first time Pei Qian has seen Eric. Before, he had only heard his voice but never seen him.
Pei Qian was a little confused: "Huh? Didn't it mean that he is no longer responsible for the ioi national server?"
Lin Wan thought for a while: "This information should be accurate. He must no longer be responsible for the work of the ioi national server. But it seems that he is not in a hurry to leave, but comes to spy on the information."
Pei Qian nodded: "It makes sense."< /p>
Lin Wan suggested: "Mr. Pei, since we are old acquaintances, would you like to go over and say hello?"
Pei Qian thought for a while, this Eric is so miserable, he must be so miserable now. She was in great need of support and comfort, so she nodded: "Okay, let's go say hello."
Min Jingchao saw Eric taking out his mobile phone to take pictures, and couldn't help but frown slightly: "Mr. Pei, would you like to Stop him? What if Dayak Company imitates us after he returns?" Pei Qian raised his hand: "No, let him take it!"
...
Eric took his mobile phone and carefully took pictures of the layout of the main stage and the panoramic photos of the entire studio. The expression on his face was very complicated.
Nearly four months have passed since he took charge of the operation of the ioi national server.
Looking back on these four months, if I could use one word to describe it, it would be despair!
Eric put all his operational experience in other parts of the world to use, and racked his brains to think of various ways, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get anything out of GOG. market share!
The executives of Dayak Company were extremely dissatisfied with this, believing that this was Eric's work error and lack of ability, and Eric was in trouble.
No matter how you explain the objective situation, it is impossible for the company to understand it.You will think this is all Eric's excuse.
So, on the one hand, Eric was unwilling to take the blame, and on the other hand, he also had a strong interest in Tenda and GOG.
He was wondering, how did Tenda achieve this level?
So, after handing over the work, Eric did not leave, but flew to Jingzhou to conduct a comprehensive inspection and research, especially a detailed study of GOG's various operational activities.
The Global Finals and GPL League are naturally the top priorities of his research.
Zhidou Company had wanted to hold a global finals before, but was suddenly scared away by GOG's Global Invitational Tournament.
Eric feels that after returning this time, if he can report GOG's operating strategy in detail to the senior management of Zhidou Company, on the one hand, he can share his responsibilities, and on the other hand, he can also help Dayak The company has successfully organized the global finals that are currently being prepared. Regardless of whether the failure of the ioi national server is its own fault, at least it can make up for it.
Eric is just no longer responsible for the work of the ioi national server. He still has to work in Dayak Company, so he can't just give up.
After taking another photo, Eric caught a glimpse of several people walking towards him from the corner of his eye.
When he saw Lin Wan at the front, he couldn't help but be startled.
Broken!
I was secretly filming here and was caught!
Although the GPL competition venue is completely open and anyone can take photos casually, it is not considered a secret. However, Eric himself is a senior executive of Dayak Company after all. This matter was bumped into. It’s easy to say but not nice to hear.
But after all, Eric has experienced many battles and has seen a lot. What big scenes have never been seen by executives of multinational companies, so how can they be intimidated by these young people in their twenties? That's impossible.
So, Eric quickly calmed down and put away his phone: "Ms. Lin, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Lin Wan smiled slightly: "Eric Sir, since we didn’t say anything when we arrived in Jingzhou, we at Tengda should show our friendship as landlords.”
“By the way, Mr. Eric, this is the Mr. Pei you have always wanted to see.”
Eric was stunned for a moment.
He has never watched "The Daily Life of President Pei" and doesn't pay attention to Tengda's gossip, so he is just surprised. He didn't expect President Pei to be so young.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. From top to bottom in Tengda, there seemed to be very few employees over thirty years old. However, just such a group of young people can cause Dayak Company to suffer such a big loss?
Eric now no longer dared to look down on Mr. Pei, and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Pei, nice to meet you."
He was originally worried that Mr. Pei would win with a victory He mocked himself condescendingly. After all, Mr. Pei was a young man in his twenties. He was young and energetic and had achieved such a huge victory. It was normal for him to take the opportunity to say a few sarcastic remarks..
However, Mr. Pei did not do this. Instead, he smiled and shook hands with him: "Mr. Ai, nice to meet you. I'm really sorry. Last time you came to Jingzhou, I was busy with work and couldn't. I have enough time to receive you. So, if Mr. Ai has time, can I treat you to a casual meal?”
Looking at Mr. Pei’s sincere expression, Eric’s expression was uncertain and he was a little confused. It’s always a matter of what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd.
Is this a courtesy unique to Eastern people? Or is it a kind of irony unique to Easterners?
The cultural gap made Eric feel a little confused.
