Global monopoly of technology

In the WRPO headquarters in Sioux City, about three to four hundred regular employees are busy with their respective duties and their careers are in full swing.

The WRPO e-sports brand has been established, and the first competition will be held next year. It seems that there is still nearly a year of preparation, but in fact the time is very tight.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and most people have no experience in running e-sports competitions, or the experience is immature. The initial stage is still chaotic, because on the one hand, it recruited a large number of senior Korean e-sports practitioners, and also brought domestic Two pioneer companies engaged in the e-sports industry have been merged.

A company called "PLU Game Entertainment Media" was established in August 2005. Its main function is to organize and promote various game events, disseminate and report domestic and foreign game hotspot news, and select and package domestic game masters.

The other is called "NeoTV", which was established in early 2006, and this year the WCG World Finals in 2007 was broadcast live by this company, accumulating some experience in operating and broadcasting international large-scale e-sports events.

It also has a professional program production team, and has just begun to build promotion channels in China, and it is a new generation of entertainment media in the field of e-sports in the mainland.

When Bluestar Technology Group entered the market and initiated merger and acquisition invitations to the two companies, they all liked to mention "Bluestar Dad" and happily sold themselves.

As the saying goes, leaning against the big tree is good for enjoying the cool.

If such a large group enters the market, adversity leads to death. If they do not agree to mergers and acquisitions, most of the talents in the e-sports industry gathered by themselves will be poached.

Backed by the Bluestar Technology Group, there is no need to think about where to go?

Even if they are not dug, they will take the initiative to quit, and the company will be ruined. It might as well be packaged and sold directly, and they will become employees of Bluestar Technology.

The acquisition of these two companies only cost less than RMB 150 million.

Incorporating it into its subsidiary, it is quickly integrated into the WRPO system of the e-sports business department of Bluestar Technology Group. After integrating resources, it will move forward with new goals, and is committed to creating a commercialization of e-sports, e-sports TV, e-sports venues, etc. E-sports operators with integrated services.

Bluestar Video, an online streaming video business under Bluestar Technology, also provides resource linkage. After the updated version, it opened up a sub-section of the e-sports zone, including the live event window and so on.

In the future, you will also get homepage promotion resources when you host competitions. The traffic here is not generally large, even if you hang up for a day, it can bring huge traffic.

You know, the number of users of Bluestar Video website exceeds 200 million, and it is the absolute king of domestic online streaming video websites.

There are no other video sites that can play, because the high operating costs are not affordable to everyone, and the high bandwidth costs are prohibitive. Even large Internet sites such as Tengxun and Baidu have not entered this field.

Without him, I can't afford to lose.

At least I don't have the financial resources to lose, so I can only watch Bluestar Video continue to grow and develop.

Only Bluestar Technology has the financial resources to be able to afford such huge losses. According to Bluestar Technology’s financial report, the domestic version of Bluestar Video’s broadband expenditure in a quarter is hundreds of millions, which is not even considered as the international version of BluestarVideo. The loss is even more exaggerated.

Otherwise, the total revenue of Bluestar Technology in a quarter is 7 billion U.S. dollars, and the net profit is only about 1.8 billion U.S. dollars, but the expenditure is too large.

The profit margin of the blue space business segment is as high as 46%. It is the strong liquidity ability of Big Brother to achieve such good results. Although other business segments have revenue generation, most of them cannot make ends meet.

Online video business is definitely the gold-swallowing monster second only to cloud computing services by Bluestar Technology Group.

For those involved in the e-sports industry, Bluestar Technology Group’s series of resource tilts, although insignificant for the group company, are simply unthinkable for practitioners in the e-sports industry.

However, for those who originally worked in "PLU" and "NeoTV", the future of the subordinates who merged into the big group is brighter and the stage is broader, but the pressure is also great.

The first WRPO World Finals in October next year is the top priority, and the operations department is not at all easy now, for fear of screwing up, it will be dead.

Bluestar Technology Group has just established the e-sports division. The reorganization and adjustment of all parties' personnel is almost a reorganization and adjustment of the entire e-sports industry. The early confusion is self-evident.

But after the great chaos, there must be great governance.

For Wang Qiwei, the secretary-general in charge of the e-sports section, he really wants to die. He should directly lead the entire organizing committee to carry out specific tasks, including media, event coordination, personnel, logistics, investment and so on.

The e-sports division of the Bluestar Technology Group is called the WRPO division. The top management is the organizing committee, but the organizing committee itself is not a legal entity and has no additional registration. It is directly under the vertical management of Bluestar Technology in name. The official seal of science and technology is authorized by the President's Office. If a legal official seal is to be engraved in the name of the organizing committee, approval from the relevant department is required.

The structure of WRPO is that the top leader is the director of the organizing committee, but he is not an individual. Instead, he is named in the office of the president of the Bluestar Technology Enterprise Development Department. Zhang Bowen, the second person of the group company, is the president of the enterprise development department, in other words he has The authority to directly manage WRPO.

But Zhang Bowen basically won't have time to take care of it. He manages a multinational group with tens of thousands of employees, and he has to take care of bigger things.

Luo Sheng, the ultimate boss, is even more impossible.

Unless he remembered something suddenly, now that he has completed the overall arrangement of e-sports, he basically does not ask any more. When he does not take the initiative to pay attention to the situation, only in regular meetings and year-end summary meetings. The audience will hear passively.

Therefore, it is normal that the assistant of the President's Office of the Enterprise Development Department will be responsible for this aspect of the standing affairs.

Under the small framework of the WRPO organizing committee, the director of the organizing committee is the leader who does not do specific work and is equivalent to the chairman of the board.

It is the secretary-general who really does the specific work, which is now Wang Qiwei, who is equivalent to the general manager of the WRPO business department. In the next step, the secretariat, media, overall planning, logistics, investment promotion and other departments are set up. The manager is the department. Supervisor.

How much pressure is Wang Qiwei now?

The President's Office of the Corporate Development Department gave him a word, before the end of this year, the confusion in personnel and management caused by mergers and acquisitions should be ended, and the work situation should be reported at the end of the year.

With a word from the leader, the subordinate broke his leg.

A simple sentence, but how difficult is it to accomplish this task?

"Secretary-General Wang, boss Luo is here."

"What? Why did he come here all of a sudden?" Wang Qiwei was shocked and subconscious when he heard the assistant coming in to report, and quickly walked out of the office to greet him.

Luo Sheng has indeed been free recently. Both the Bluestar Technology Group and the Blue Coast company have arranged a series of layouts by him. Zhang Bowen and the others are still busy at work, but he is more relaxed.

As the founder of the company, after passing the early stage, especially the [Azure] planning stage has been completed, Luo Sheng is not as laborious as before.

Except for scientific research, other aspects of work are not specific work, and they are ordered to be arranged for the executive level.

Even scientific research is not always on the front line. After all, the scale of the two companies is expanding and there are many projects. Luo Sheng cannot be busy even if he has 48 hours a day.

At this moment, the WRPO office hall is quite lively. The office here is a classic cubicle. Most of the members sitting in each cubicle are out of work now, but took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

The young man surrounded by everyone here is surprisingly Luo Sheng. Most of the e-sports practitioners working here are also quite young, basically as old as Luo Sheng.

However, there is no doubt that it is not at the same level in the aura.

At this moment, many young employees turned into Luo Sheng's super fans and asked for a group photo. Luo Sheng naturally agreed, but the several supervisors here were anxious in their eyes, but it was difficult to come forward and say anything.

Most of the young employees didn't think much about it, and didn't know that when Luo Sheng left, he would face being sprayed with blood from his boss.

When Wang Qiwei came here, he quickly locked Luo Sheng, his face turned dark when he saw this situation, but he quickly put away the emotions and quickly walked up to the rescue: "Mr. Luo, I am very sorry that I don’t know you. Will be here, there is no preparation to receive you."

"The WRPO business department has arranged well, and the progress is very fast." Luo Sheng smiled casually, and then took a photo with a young employee smiling.

"Mr. Luo, please here." Wang Qiwei said hurriedly.

Luo Sheng nodded, secretly saying that you are finally here.

Immediately after leaving the office lobby with Wang Qiwei, they came to each other's office.

As soon as he left, the supervisor here suddenly roared: "You, and you, with you. What did you say? Who is Luo always? How busy is the work? When is this? You are here to work What is it for?"

The supervisor who was instructing also turned black immediately, because he just noticed that Wang Qiwei's face turned black and knew that when Luo Sheng left here, he might be called into the office by his boss to scold him bloody. It's all light.

After Luo Sheng entered an office, he naturally came to the desk where Wang Qiwei could sit.

Wang Qiwei stood outside facing him rather restrained. Although he was much older than Luo Sheng in age, he was also very nervous now. The aura that Luo Sheng had cultivated over the years was not covered.

"Can you end the messy personnel situation of the WRPO business department before the end of the year? If you bring such a team to hold next year's game, you will be laughed off by the international media. I can't afford to lose this person." Luo Sheng leaned back. He said quietly while holding his seat.

When Wang Qiwei heard it, his heart sighed. Luo Sheng's expectations were dull, but Secretary-General Wang had already heard that he was dissatisfied with the status quo of WRPO.

"Mr. Luo, I promise to complete all personnel reorganization before the end of the year, get rid of the dross, and select the essence to ensure that next year's event can be successfully held as scheduled." Wang Qiwei vowed to make a military order, and this time must be. Make a military order, otherwise you may be dismissed from get out of class.

“I know it’s not easy for you to take this job. The people in the WRPO business department are mainly from two mergers and acquisitions. The domestic e-sports circle is already chaotic, the industry is not standardized, and the fish and dragons are mixed. Most of the bad things are social gangsters, or just It's very difficult to reshape an industry after getting caught up in the habit of chaos. It requires people to do things. Personnel matters are not enough. If the personnel problems are not solved, the following matters will definitely not be handled well."

Wang Qiwei nodded repeatedly: "What Luo Zong teaches is."

Luo Sheng smiled faintly, then shook his head and said, "I can't talk about the teachings. To put it bluntly, the issue of personnel is only a problem. Remove a few mouse shit in the team, and get rid of all the people with past records in the gray area. WRPO It is not necessary for such people to'open the way' or'escort' to run the competition, and it is impossible to talk about e-sports being recognized by the mainstream without removing these dross."

Wang Qiwei nodded again and again.

The domestic e-sports circle in this era is indeed very mixed, because without a strong pusher, this field has long been in a situation of advancing in barbarity and disorder.

E-sports and online games are very vague, and games are closely related to Internet cafes, and most entertainment venues such as Internet cafes are actually not standardized.

It is often the place where young people without a proper career like to look forward to it for a long time. It is obvious that they are young and energetic and have nothing to do. Can they not make trouble?

This trouble must have happened.

These factors are intertwined with each other, and it is simply a realistic mini "cyberpunk" circle.

Coupled with the blow of the "Blue Polar Beam" incident in the past few years, it can be described as worse. Under this harsh environment, e-sports can be on the stage, and it is recognized by the mainstream that it is a ghost.

Even if Luo Sheng enters the market, it is not an easy task, and it will take time to regulate the entire industry.
