FV E-Sports Club.
Wu Yue, who had just received the news, was speechless and a little angry.
"Is this official? Our FV club's participation quota was given by the official, and the number one seed spot was obtained based on ability. As a result, there were three teams in total, and the other two were arranged to go to Los Angeles for training. , but there’s no news from our side?”
“You really don’t regard us as your biological team?”
“Just because we have some issues with Mr. Pei? Is this so exciting?"
These e-sports clubs are very well-informed. FV E-sports Club soon received the news: Longyu Group officially organized two other teams to go to Los Angeles for training in advance. The urgent visa is already in process. It is said that Longyu Group will cover all the accommodation and food expenses in Los Angeles this time, and will also help arrange matchmaking for European and American teams to play training matches.
It turns out that all this information was obtained from other channels. Longyu Group had no intention of notifying the FV Club at all, and did not even give a hypocritical explanation!
This can only explain one problem: Longyu Group deliberately did not take the FV Club to Los Angeles.
Manager Lu quickly tried to persuade him: "Mr. Wu, please calm down. This matter is indeed too much, but we don't have any good solutions."
"Go early this time The training match in Los Angeles should be a spontaneous act organized by the Longyu Group and is not part of the world competition process hosted by Zhidou Company."
"So the Longyu Group can also say that it is sentimental to bring us. It’s their duty not to bring them. They can bring whoever they want at their own expense. Many teams in other divisions don’t enjoy this kind of treatment.”
Wu Yue said: “This is discrimination. ! It’s treated differently! We should complain, or simply make it public on Weibo, so that everyone can take a good look at the faces of the Longyu Group!" Manager Lu quickly shook his head: "Mr. Wu, This is inappropriate!”
“Longyu Group did not publicize this matter in an official capacity. If we broke the news, Longyu Group could immediately change its story and say that this was a spontaneous act by the club. Longyu Group They are just responsible for making connections and playing a very small role. Because the truth of this matter is easy to cover up. If we start a group rashly, as long as the Longyu Group plays Tai Chi with us, it will be easy to cover it up. Instead, it will appear that we are careless and careless. A villain's heart is used to judge a gentleman's heart. "
"As for the appeal, it is even more useless. Doesn't that mean 'who is suing me'?"
"What's more, in the final analysis, e-sports is still about performance. Let's go online to make this matter bigger and bring a wave of rhythm. What if the World Championship does not go well? By then, public opinion will definitely backlash. By then, we will Even if it’s reasonable, it’s no longer reasonable.”
“If you think about it, you know what netizens will say when they lose in the World Championship: How dare such a bad team ask the officials for money to play training games in Los Angeles? It’s time to give up the spot directly to SUG!"
"Anyway, as long as we lose, the rhythm will definitely fly all over the sky. We have to consider the consequences now. "
Wu Yue nodded with a dark face: "Well, it seems that Zhao Xuming has understood this and feels that even if we poke him out, there will be no benefit, so he is so blatantly trying to scare the monkeys and beat us. By the way, it looks good to Tenda. "
"Then...can we just suffer the loss of being dumb? The Longyu Group did such disgusting things, we can’t even talk about it? ”
Manager Lu thought for a while: “It’s definitely possible to say it, but not now.” ”
“It is only a fool who jumps out to start a group before the result of the game comes out. On the one hand, it adds huge public pressure to our team members and affects their performance; on the other hand, if we lose the game, the opponent will take the opportunity to add insult to injury, and the people who want to take advantage of us will not stand on our side, and we will be buried directly. . ”
“The best way is actually to settle the score after the fall. If we win the game, we can use the victory to clarify all these things. Going downwind is the best choice. ”
“So for us, the best choice now is to endure the humiliation, try not to let this matter affect the mentality of our players, and actively prepare for the game. When we get good results in the World Championship, we can use the pressure of public opinion to fight back against the Longyu Group. "
"As long as we perform better than the other two clubs, then no matter whether we win the championship or runner-up, even if we are only in the semi-finals or the semi-finals, we still have something to say. "
"At that time we can say that the official differential treatment has led to poor results in the entire competition area. If we were given the same treatment, maybe our results could be better, etc. ”
“In short, everything still depends on the results. Without results, everything is in vain. "
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 situation in the previous qualifying rounds, the strength is only between the other two teams, and it also has some schedule differences. Light. Maybe if they play a non-bladder game again, they may not be able to beat them. ”
“The benefits of training in Los Angeles are obvious. You can play European and American servers with low latency, better adapt to the version, and play training matches with the currently stronger European and American teams. Your strength will definitely improve compared to ours.” quick. ”
“If we want to defeat them, we can’t just rely on fantasy. ”
Manager Lu nodded and felt that the situation was indeed serious.
E-sports does not mean that you can win with determination and perseverance. It also requires scientific training methods and good training methods. Supporting facilities.
Many players are extremely talented, but fail to perform in certain clubs. This is often due to poor management of the club, incorrect training methods, and insufficient supporting facilities.
Wu Yue said: "How about we also go to Los Angeles? "
Manager Lu was silent for a moment: "The Longyu Group organized them to go to Los Angeles.Because I can get online with Zhidou Company, I can get high-end game accounts in European and American servers there, and I can make appointments with established European and American teams for training matches in an official capacity. Looking at Longyu Group’s attitude towards us, even if we paid out of our own pockets, we definitely wouldn’t have these things! ”
“We can’t go all the way to Los Angeles, only for the team members to spend all day ranking in the low tiers of European and American servers, right? Isn’t it that the more you practice, the better you become? ”
“What’s more, we are a large group of people, and our expenses are also very high. We went to take care of our own food and accommodation in advance, and we have to give the team members something good to eat. Plus the accompanying people...it’s 8 people.” No matter what, it’s still around 200,000. If we take the training situation into account and bring our second team there, it will have to be doubled. "
"Of course, our club can afford this money. The problem is that spending money may not guarantee the training effect, and the price/performance ratio is too poor. ”
Wu Yue thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
The Longyu Group organized the other two teams to train in Los Angeles because they had high-end game accounts and could make appointments in Europe and the United States. If there is no training match for the team, it is really unnecessary to spend hundreds of thousands to adapt to the environment in advance.
After thinking about it again, Wu Yue said: "Such a small thing doesn't seem to bother Mr. Pei. Well, I'll call Mr. Zhang from Tenda's e-sports division and ask him to help with advice. ”
“If it is really unnecessary, we will not go. We will stay in China and play training matches with domestic teams. We will schedule other training matches during the World Championships.” "
...
...
December 17, Saturday.
Today there is a regular meeting of the management of compensation for life.
This year’s Spring Festival is relatively early, on January 23, so the exam week is also earlier, and the management students are spending a lot of time reviewing after work.
< p>There is not much information to pay attention to in this regular meeting. After all, most products are still in the final stage of research and development, including products such as fully automatic intelligent bar lifters, which have not yet shown signs of backstabbing, so this Naturally, there is not much useful information.Pei Qian knows that it will be a tough battle starting next month.
As a result, the settlement period coincides with the exam week, so I have to say this. This feeling is very refreshing.
Whether you can beat Lao Ma in this exam depends on the trembling before the exam.
The students still reported as usual. Regarding the situation in their respective departments, it was soon the turn of the manager of the e-sports department.
This manager has been following Zhang Yuan. He was originally in charge of the DGE club and later established the e-sports department and the GPL league. After that, he naturally broke into the inside. At present, no matter whether it is DGE or other clubs, or even the entire e-sports club, he can't escape his eyes.
"The GPL preseason is about to enter the second half. The current competition is going well, even if I encounter some in-game bugs and equipment problems occasionally, everything will be fine.If it is solved well, it should be able to accumulate a lot of experience for the Spring Split. "
"At present, the main lineups of each club in the GPL have basically been fixed. Those teams that have not participated in the GPL pre-season are also playing training matches and actively preparing for the spring split. ”
“The new batch of players in the DGE club has been wiped out. Although their strength is worse than that of the first batch of players, this batch of people has good talent after all and has been trained by the old players.” Special training, so he still took the main position in each new team..."
Pei Qian's hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but tremble.
Although he had already felt this I was mentally prepared, but when I actually heard the news, I still felt my heart tremble.
Ten more players, how much would they cost?
This group of players is Huang. Wang and Jiang Huan are the second group of players after they were bought collectively, and they are still selling well. The transfer fee is enough for Mr. Pei to drink
DGE. There are reasons why players sell well.
First of all, the DGE club has a good reputation. Potential newcomers tend to come to the DGE club to raise their value, and other clubs also feel that they will never lose money by buying DGE club players. It is easier to buy.
Recruits with real potential are willing to come to the DGE club, because once they perform well, they can immediately jump to other clubs to get big contracts. DGE will never offer stuck contracts or hide them. With one set, newcomers feel more secure; as for other clubs, the DGE club does not directly participate in the competition and does not pose a threat to its own performance. It also helps train players, so it is also willing to buy people from DGE.
Those old players who came out of DGE would come back from time to time to give guidance to the newcomers in DGE. Over time, "all the players who came out of DGE can stand alone" became the inherent impression of the entire league audience and the club, which made the operation of DGE enter. A virtuous cycle.
As a result, DGE’s new players are like leeks, they can all be sold every once in a while and earn a lot of transfer fees.
There was nothing Pei Qian could do about this.
He pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea and asked: "So, how much is the total transfer fee? ”
Guan Shuisheng said: “There are ten players, these people have different performances. Some C-positions with strong operations or commanding abilities are worth more, and the transfer fee can be more than 1.5 million. If It's the kind with very average performance, maybe only seven or eight hundred thousand, maybe one million or so. Adding these players together, the total transfer fee was about 13 million. "
Pei Qian: "..."
The word "fuck" almost blurted out.
This number seriously exceeded his psychological expectations!
< p>The previous transfer fees for Huang Wang, Jiang Huan and others were around 2 million, so Pei Qian thought that the transfer fee for these young players would be 1 million.But it is obvious.But that’s not the case!
At the very beginning, the transfer fees for star players like Huang Wang and Jiang Huan were slightly inflated. After all, the major clubs were trying to achieve results in the GOG Global Invitational Tournament. High bonuses and exposure.
However, with the gradual increase of GOG's global market share, the success of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament, and the rising popularity of the GPL League...
After this series of operations, Huang Wang The value of star players like Jiang Huan is also increasing rapidly as more and more capital comes in!
Now their transfer fee is no longer a matter of two million.
The value of the top players has increased, and the value of the second batch of potential newcomers in the DGE Club will naturally increase as well.
Ten people may not seem like a lot, but the transfer fees add up to 13 million.
What made Pei Qian feel like he was vomiting blood was not the number, but the time!
After all, Mr. Pei is a person who has seen the big world. He has had hundreds of millions of funds come in and out several times, let alone a mere ten million.
It’s not in your hands anyway, it’s just a number.
The key is how long it took to earn more than 10 million!
The introduction of this group of team members was in September, and now it is December. It only took three months to train them, and they were sold for 13 million!
If you calculate it this way, the DGE club earns an average of more than 4 million per month, which is easy.
Not to mention the DGE Club’s commercial sponsorship and live broadcast contract!
The daily expenses of the DGE club are really not much. The training base is rented by Mr. Li, and Manager Cui of Mingyun Villa wants to support Mr. Pei as if he were his own father. Daily expenses such as rent, water and electricity bills, etc. All costs are very low.
The only place to spend money may be daily expenses such as eating and fitness.
But with Moyu takeout and managed gyms, how much can these players spend even if they eat and practice freely?
Pei Qian felt very tired.
Everyone else opens a club to burn money. The original intention of opening a club is to burn money, but in the end, it turns into making money while having fun!
It is outrageous to think about a club that specializes in making money by buying and selling players, a club that is not famous for playing games but is bigger than the championship team.
It is said that if the DGE club is well-trained, it should earn more than 10 million in transfer fees, but the problem is that these players are already good prospects!
Because the potential newcomers are all trying to get into the DGE club and regard it as their first choice, so as long as a few trial training is given, they will all be potential newcomers.
Just like many super high schools, if you admit all the high-quality students around you, can your final results be bad?
Pei Qian silently took a sip of tea and adjusted his mentality: "Continue."
Guan Shuisheng continued: "Currently, many clubs have received sponsorships. Although the amounts vary, and it is temporarily impossible to maintain club operations with some sponsorships, this can be considered a good start. ”
“Before the start of the spring competition, some teams should have sponsor logos on their uniforms. Although it is not good to have too many sponsors, it is not good to have no sponsors at all. The audience feels that the league is not popular enough." Pei Qian nodded slightly, sponsors can give the club whatever money they want, it has nothing to do with me.
Guan Shuisheng changed the subject and said: "In addition, there are many sponsors who have shown strong interest in the exclusive title of GPL, including computer manufacturers, peripheral manufacturers, as well as sportswear and digital products. , automobile and other manufacturers."
"However, the specific price has not been finalized and is still under negotiation."
"Currently, the exclusive cooperation quotation for a single type of merchant is about one year. The level is about 5 million, and the price for exclusive sponsorship is about 20 million a year, so we are still discussing it because it involves some details of sponsorship."
"As for the live broadcast platform. , the broadcast rights of the GPL spring and summer games will be considered to be licensed to 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 discussed, Mr. Zhang is also summarizing all the information, which should be reported soon." Listening to these numbers, Pei Qian felt his hands and feet were cold and his mind was blank.
I thought that the crazy selling of people at the DGE Club was already bad news, but now I realize that the real bad news is yet to come!
Recently, Pei Qian’s attention has been attracted by the ioi qualifying competition and the cold-faced girl. He has not paid much attention to the GPL. He did not expect that the situation has become so serious!
In fact, we should have thought of it a long time ago. With so many sponsors looking for cooperation with the team, there will definitely be more people looking for official cooperation!
The current GPL league sponsorship prices are also tiered.
A single type of exclusive cooperation means that a certain brand monopolizes a certain category of goods after sponsoring it. For example, if a certain sportswear company signs an exclusive cooperation agreement with GPL, then GPL will not discuss cooperation with other sportswear companies in the future.
Of course, this does not affect the official cooperation with manufacturers of computers, automobiles, digital products, etc.
As for the exclusive title, it can also be regarded as the chief sponsorship, which means that you will get the best official recommended resources, and the price will naturally be the highest.
As for the live broadcast platform, the competition is even more intense. After all, the major live broadcast platforms are currently in the stage of burning money and diverting traffic. If they cannot get the GPL broadcast rights, they will give users a " This platform is not very good”, so the bidding price was very high.
Having said that, this amount is incomparable to the sponsorship fees that Pei Qian remembers, which can easily reach hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions.
But the problemThe point is, where is this?
The GOG game was born less than a year ago, and there is not much recognition of e-sports in China. It is already outrageous in Pei Qian’s opinion that he can get such a high sponsorship fee now!
But if you think about it carefully, this also makes sense.
Because of the popularity of the GOG World Finals, everyone has seen the huge potential of e-sports events, and the GPL has done so well that there are currently almost no competitors.
What’s more, news such as the entry of giant companies such as Shenhua and the sky-high price of GPL quotas are constantly stirring up the nerves of the audience. Sponsors see the advertising effect brought by the huge popularity, and with the traditional sports After comparing the quotes, I felt it was a good deal, so naturally I jumped in.
Pei Qian silently calculated in his mind that GPL is very likely to earn hundreds of millions of dollars through various sponsorships and broadcast rights for the spring and summer games.
The good news is that these hundreds of millions of dollars are earned throughout the year, and it will be a little more acceptable to spread it out every month.
The bad news is that sponsorship fees may be higher next year.
Pei Qian thought about it and realized that he might not be able to push away the money.
In this case, you must tell Zhang Yuan to ask these sponsors to pay in installments and spread the money evenly every month. Don’t call them all at once, especially not just before the settlement. This kind of key node.
Otherwise, Mr. Pei will ascend to heaven where he is.
"Is there anything else?" Pei Qian felt a little tired.
Guan Shuisheng thought for a while: "Oh, there is one more little thing about FV Club. It is said that Longyu Group is going to arrange for domestic teams to train in Los Angeles, but they have left Team FV..."
Wu Yue called Zhang Yuan to discuss the matter. Since there was no need to keep it secret, Guan Shuisheng also knew about it.
After hearing this, Pei Qian couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
How can this be called a trivial matter?
Nothing is trivial about spending money!
This Wu Yue and this Zhang Yuan should both be severely criticized! You didn't report this kind of thing to me immediately. What were you thinking?
Longyu Group took two teams to Los Angeles, but only FV Club stayed?
What a good thing!
This gives me a very valuable opportunity to spend money!
According to the expenses in Los Angeles, if we bring more people, we set the highest standard of food and lodging allowed by the system... this may cost a lot of money!
After hearing so much bad news, there is finally some good news.
After the regular meeting of Guan Qiansheng, Pei Qian immediately called Wu Yue.
......
In FV Club, Wu Yue was struggling with team training matters. When he saw that it was President Pei's call, he quickly picked it up.
"Hello? Mr. Pei, what's the matter?" Wu Yue asked.
Mr. Pei on the other end of the phone seemed a little uncomfortable.Happy: "Why didn't you tell me about the other clubs going to Los Angeles?"
Wu Yue was stunned for a moment and hurriedly explained: "Oh, Mr. Pei, I don't need to worry about such a small matter. Can you handle it?"
Pei Qian: "What can you handle? Can you decide to arrange first-class air tickets and five-star hotels for all the players, or can you find an opponent for the team to train with?"
p>Wu Yue: "I..."
He thought about it and realized that he really couldn't. Although FV Club had enough money on its books, it was really difficult for him to make the decision to spend hundreds of thousands to come to Los Angeles in advance.
Pei Qian said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, go and apply for expedited visas for everyone immediately! How many people are there in the FV club currently?"
Wu Yue thought for a while: " There are 5 members in the first team, and 5 members in the second team, plus myself, Manager Lu, other team members, etc..."
"Ah, but we don’t need so many. For people, just let a team of players and Manager Lu go. Three standard rooms are enough for six people."
Pei Qian was very unhappy after hearing this: "How can six people do it?"
"As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. If you want to march and fight, but the logistics and supplies can't keep up, what's the point?"
"For those in Los Angeles who are not familiar with the place, they have to Find a translator and find a local tour guide who is familiar with the situation. You have to have someone make arrangements for food and accommodation. "
"You must not be careless when you go there to check out the taste. Better Chinese food to ensure that the team members' daily diet is not a problem and does not affect their physical condition."
"Recruit four more bodyguards. I heard that the security in the United States is not good, so the team members' personal safety must be guaranteed. It’s safe.”
“It would be good to bring a sparring team... I think SUG will be good, so I will pay to bring all the players from SUG with you.”
"Let's see, there are a total of 30 people, and they will be arranged according to the standard of room and board of 3,000 yuan per person per day, and they will stay until the end of the competition, about five weeks in total, right?"
" The standard of food and accommodation alone is 3.15 million. Well, when you arrive in Los Angeles, you may also have to go shopping, buy some souvenirs, carry some cheap digital products, etc., plus find a tour guide and bodyguard as mentioned before. The cost, and taking into account some possible emergencies..."
"In this way, we can get it to 4 million."
Wu Yue was dumbfounded.
Go to Los Angeles and spend 4 million?
The entire FV club is not worth so much money just for one dollar!
Wu Yue hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, there is no need! Zhidou Company will provide food and accommodation after the main game starts, so the only money we really need to spend is the round-trip air ticket."
“Even if we go a week in advance, we have to take care of our own food and accommodation for this week, and we don’t need the standard of 3,000 yuan per person at all., you can get a two-person room in a pretty good hotel near the venue for less than 1,000 yuan. "
"The accommodation arranged by Zhidou 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 it at the time. I heard it.
What do you mean, you don’t want me to spend money?
According to your minimum standard, if six people stay in a standard room for 1,000 yuan a night, it will only be the first. Zhou paid for it out of his own pocket?
I’m afraid it’s too much to spend more than 100,000 yuan!
Pei Qian immediately interrupted Wu Yue: “Zhitou Company has arranged room and board for us. Want to go? What if the accommodation and meals arranged by Zhidou Company cannot meet our requirements? "
"The team members traveled thousands of miles to play in a foreign country. Can you bear the responsibility of something going wrong? As the saying goes, be prepared for a rainy day. It’s worth spending some money to eliminate these hidden dangers! "
"Just do as I say, and the money will be transferred quickly. "
Pei Qian hung up the phone after saying that.
Wu Yue looked at the screen of the phone that had been hung up and fell into confusion.
30 places?< /p>
The first and second teams of the FV club plus the five main players of SUG, there are only 15 people.
Where can we find 30 people?
