Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Friday, 28 October.

DGE Club meeting room.

Managers of the clubs gather to chat while drinking tea.

These clubs have been moving to Kyushu for some time, and after the GOG Global Invitation, the days of the clubs can be described as a little boring in leisure.

While training matches continue to be played between clubs as usual, without formal matches, the effectiveness of training matches will certainly be greatly discounted.

Instead, the players' muscles have been growing steadily.

The version of GOG is not up to date, so teams don't have to be too anxious to adapt to the new version, and everyone is eager to wait for GOG's official launch of the next phase.

Clubs are speculating that GOG officials are mostly launching league models.

It is not hard to guess that, although there are still many shortcomings in the e-sports industry in this regard, there are many rules for some popular sports events that can be consulted and just copied.

Moreover, the domestic leagues are easy to form. The venue of the World Invitation Games can be used directly as the venue for the leagues, and the clubs are all gathered in Jingzhou, so that the tournament can be arranged and started immediately.

This looks like President Bae prepared it in advance, and none of the other racing districts have such unique conditions.

And Zhang Yuan invited everyone here, mostly for the league.

That's why the club managers implicitly have some Zhang Yuanma meaning, because everyone knows that Zhang is not only the manager of the DGE club, but also someone who can talk directly to President Pei. If he really wants to play the GOG league in the future, Zhang is definitely one of the managers.

So as soon as Zhang Yuan notified the clubs today, the managers of these clubs arrived.

It was only after coming that it was discovered that President Bai was there, sitting quietly beside him and not saying a word.

This leads us to be certain that what we are going to say today is extraordinary.

Zhang Yuan handed out the new rules in his hands to the clubs in turn, and then opened the door directly to see the mountains, affirming all the requests made by President Pei.

“Next, we will start planning the GOG's domestic league, GPL, where everyone here has contributed to the development of the GOG career, is an important participant in the first Global Invitational, and has the strongest team in the country at the moment, so everyone is eligible to join the GPL as a priority. ”

“But…”

“Accession also requires some official supervision and provisions. ”

“Tenda is already planning to set up an e-sports division to coordinate the beneficial development of GOG games and the entire e-sports community. There are a few requirements, and I hope you will cooperate. ”

The club managers saw the new rules circulated to Zhang Yuan.

Manager Sue of H4 looked at the page and frowned slightly. The more she looked at the face, the worse it looked.

The text is fairly general and does not elaborate into very detailed terms, but each article is somewhat ill-fated:

Tengcheng Telecom Division to manage the system of GOG League and World Games in a unified manner;

The Electronic Competition Division shall provide the club and athlete with a unified form of contract, which shall only agree on the basic contents of time, liquidated damages, transfer fees, remuneration, etc., and strictly prohibit the appearance of Yin Yang contracts and various other additional terms;

Clubs and athletes are free to contact each other during the transition, but cannot be contracted privately, and clubs must be organized by the E-Competition Division to take tacit photographs of the athletes, and both parties must abide by their commitments;

In the event of a dispute, the mediation of Tenda's official department, the E-Competition Division, must be sought first.

In the event of non-compliance with the above provisions, Tenda Electronic Competition Division may withdraw eligibility for the GPL League at any time, and the withdrawn club may transfer the GOG Division to a third party, or to Tenda, and then the Electronic Competition Division may find a suitable third party to take over.

Manager Su looked at the others subconsciously and saw surprises in each other's eyes.

This is a bit too much for these clubs!

Previously, Chief Ma was the only one who looked at us, but only if President Zhang did not infringe on our interests!

Since the emergence of the e-sports industry in China, and up to now, the vast majority of games manufacturers' relationships with clubs have been well established.

Most games manufacturers are incapable of, and do not have the leisure to, manage and request clubs, and even many games manufacturers expect big clubs to play, so take a blind eye to the private behaviour of these clubs.

In order to defend their interests, the major clubs will, to a greater or lesser extent, have some abusive manoeuvres.

This is also a historical legacy. Current e-sports clubs are basically set up by a group of rich people playing tickets. More than half of them stand behind one or two rich generations. All aspects of management are very informal. Of course, in their view, there is no need to be too formal.

It's just a ticket. What's the big deal anyway?

Many clubs fear being dug up by other clubs and scattering the entire team, so they have to sign some tough terms like "deeds of sale" with new players.

In other words, in the past, whether it was pitted by players, or by other clubs, the risk was passed on to more newcomers in order not to lose money.

The club felt that it was defending its legitimate rights and interests.

And now, President Pei's request is clearly an "infringement of their legitimate rights and interests” because the set of rules they had previously set were completely invalidated.

Manager Su mumbled his lips but, thinking about it, remained silent.

He knew that more than half of the clubs present would have an opinion on those terms and that he did not have to be the first to ask.

There was a brief silence in the conference room.

Manager Li of SUG Club couldn't hold it down for the first time. After clearing his voice, he said: "Mr. Zhang, there are some terms here, don't they seem appropriate? ”

“It is certainly a good thing that Tencent's Telecom Division is unifying the management of telecoms, and we all support it with our hands up. ”

“But... is this necessary for a formal contract? How can a formal contract cover all possible scenarios when each club and player negotiates under different conditions? ”

“I think it would be a little wasteful to turn this thing around and let the club and the players get in touch and sign the contract themselves. To be honest, this is a legal issue. The official focus on this aspect is a little wasted. ”

“Moreover, this e-sport industry is maintained by all clubs together. We should ask for mutual differences. Tenda has Tenda rules. Our clubs also have our business habits. Is it not good for everyone to respect each other? ”

“Everyone in this room has played for Tenda. If you say kick, kick, kick. Is that a bit of a bad feeling? ”

“So, I wonder if this rule could be reconsidered, discretionary, don't you think? ”

Manager Li finished and looked at the other club managers.

“Yes, Manager Lee has a point! ”

“Yeah, President Zhang, this is a bit of a big deal, it's not necessary. Besides, there will certainly be many other problems with signed contracts, which will be even more troublesome. Besides, there is no such precedent in the domestic e-sports circle? ”

“President Zhang, everyone is especially supportive of President Bai, so he is also a buyer and moved the division to Jingzhou. Who dares to cooperate with Tenda after kicking us out just because we don't accept these terms? ”

“Yeah, we were the first clubs to support GOG games, no credit or hard work...”

“Clubs are not easy now. Most clubs are simply burning money. We are also a vulnerable group. Without additional terms, players' rights and interests are guaranteed. What about our rights and interests? ”

A number of club managers have expressed similar ideas to Manager Li.

Obviously, it is not possible for them to remain silent under the supervision of Tenda's E-Competition Division.

The managers of these e-sports clubs are all old gas bars, and they know the way around.

The point is that even if they did, most of the owners of their own clubs wouldn't accept it.

They don't dare to make things clear, but they can play love cards and create some pressure without breaking things down.

Generally, game manufacturers give three thin spots and don't stir things up.

Manager Su did not speak and secretly looked at President Pei, who was sitting beside him without a word.

He can't even guess what kind of attitude Pei will always have.

If it's someone else, you might smile and soothe the club managers, which can be discussed slowly and over time.

But if it is President Pei, it is not impossible to scold all of these managers, and President Pei has total bottom gas to do so.

After all, the provisions sent out by Zhang Yuan were clearly written down, and if you disagree, you can transfer GPL's eligibility and even the entire GOG segment to a third party.

This means that Bae is very determined to push this matter forward.

But things are not so absolute. After all, there are plans in the worst case scenario. Doesn't that mean we have to use them? General Bae's attitude is more determined, we have to give a buffer, right?

Manager Su looked at President Bai and found that the corner of General Bai's mouth rose slightly, seemingly with some... joy?

Can't we?

Is this a soothing smile or a sneer?

Manager Su suddenly felt that something was wrong. It didn't go as far as he expected. He also swallowed his mouth.

Zhang Yuan sighed silently. These old foxes were not so easy.

They don't dare to shoot the table hard, but they can play love cards and pretend to be pathetic.

There is a phrase called "reach out and not smile face people”. If these club managers dare to turn their faces over, they can do better. Afraid that they will always pretend to be weak. If Tenda handles it too hard, it will generate some bad public opinion. It will also give other clubs the impression that Tenda is unreasonable, which is not easy to handle.

Zhang Yuan subconsciously looked at President Pei sitting beside him.

This critical moment still depends on how Pei handles it.
