Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

The three club owners looked at each other, and finally Ding Gan spoke.

"Mr. Pei, the performance of the contract is of course to be performed. We businessmen all have the spirit of contract, and it is impossible for them to relinquish accounts out of thin air."

"But... setting aside the previous episodes, we really support the GPL league sincerely."

"I don’t think so. We offer 15 million. Besides, each of our clubs is willing to add another 5 million. The three clubs will add up to 60 million. You can buy back three more GPL quotas. ?"

Before these three club owners came, they had obviously negotiated.

When things have reached this point, they have very few choices before them.

Breaching the contract definitely won't work. This is equivalent to torn directly with President Pei and all the clubs that have just taken the GPL quota, and the face is the same as the money.

Of course, these three clubs can also choose to take money and leave, but in that case, it is almost impossible to return to the GPL league.

Because based on the situation of this auction, the GPL league quota will definitely become more and more expensive. Now the 15 million division and the quota are sold together, and it is absolutely impossible to buy it back in the future.

Therefore, these three clubs want to try and see if President Pei can give out another three more places.

Directly expand the GPL league quota to 19.

Because the relevant matters of the GPL league have not yet been fully finalized, the quota is still discussed.

But if another month or two, after the GPL schedule and system are all finalized, it will be impossible to add more places.

In this way, the three clubs are equivalent to upside down their own GOG branch and 5 million, keeping the GPL quota.Loss is definitely still a loss, but at least it can stay.

As for President Pei...

The 60 million in this period should make President Pei a little tempted, right?

As for how the 19 teams’ schedules are arranged and how other clubs can appease... these subtle issues are not so important.

The three club owners looked at Mr. Pei expectantly.

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly.

Do you want to send me money?

And if you don't agree, you will give away 60 million?

Pei Qian is still having a headache about how to spend the more than 100 million yuan. This is just a little bit of eyebrows. As a result, the three clubs have to send more than 60 million yuan!

"No!" Pei Qian said decisively.

The three bosses were stunned.

President Pei... so determined?

60 million, don't you think about it seriously?

Ding Gan hesitated for a moment: "Uh... President Pei, if you have money, you can actually discuss it..."

"How about we add some more?"

Pei Qian said inwardly.

Still add money?

He drank a sip of tea, and quickly thought of his refusal:

"It's not a question of money at all."

"The 16 places were set very early. If you add more, the schedule is not easy to arrange."

"To add 19 teams, not only will there be competitions every day, but the interval between matches of a single team will become too long, which is not conducive to maintaining the level."

"Tengda is a company that counts. It has already told other clubs and audiences that there are only 16 places in the GPL league. If you collect money to do things, you are slapping yourself in the face."

"This is impossible."

The three club owners looked at each other with bitter expressions.

Who can blame this?

I can only say that I was confused for a while. I used to laugh with GPL and watch the bloodshed scripts that other people robbed for admission. As a result, I have made trouble to this day and lost my place.

Woke up early and rushed for a late episode. Who can stand this!

Ding Gan still didn't give up, and proposed a new plan: "Then, President Pei, or else. There should be a relegation system in the GPL league, right? We reorganize the team and fight back to the GPL, is this always okay?"

Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "GPL League, there is no promotion system."

"There will be an Internet cafe league, there will be a career development league GDL, and the Internet cafe league will screen out the GDL places. But there is no relegation competition, and the GDL champions can't get the GPL places."

The three club owners were dumbfounded, their expressions were extremely heartache, and they felt like they had lost 100 million.

For the entire GOG e-sports league ecological structure, Pei Qian has been thinking about it these days.

Internet cafes and GDL must be done, but the key is whether there is a relegation match.

In fact, whether there is a promotion or demotion system will have minimal impact on Pei Qian, because the government will not directly receive income from it.

Therefore, Pei Qian considered from the perspective of the entire event.

After all, he has another identity as an ordinary viewer of the GPL League. In order to see more exciting games, and for the GPL League to win glory in the World Finals, Pei Qian must establish a better system for the GPL League.

The experience in Pei Qian's memory shows that the de-escalation system is a system that looks beautiful, but in fact it has little meaning, but has a certain counter-effect.

Many people believe that the promotion and relegation competition will put pressure on the last team of GPL, and at the same time give power to the top team of GDL, making the competition more intense and conducive to the improvement of the overall level.

But the problem is that this theory is too ideal, and in actual operation, the situation is completely reversed.

For the last team in the GPL, the pressure in the relegation competition is really great, because once they are relegated, it means that they are all invested and suffered heavy losses.

But in this case, in order to be able to successfully relegation, more clubs will not train new players, train new players, but will choose to let those experienced players continue to play.

Because there is a risk in using new players, and once they fail, they will suffer heavy losses; while the old players have no potential and upper limit, but they are stable enough to abuse them fiercely.

Even if the old players are violently beaten as experienced babies in the GPL league, as long as they can abuse the leader of GDL.

For the GDL team, in order to grab the GPL quota, it is the quickest way to directly spend money to buy strong old players or foreign aid.

Therefore, a system intended to strengthen competition objectively allows all teams to focus only on their immediate paper strength and ignore long-term goals.

Some potential newcomers will find it difficult to play in this utilitarian environment, completely contrary to the original intention of this system.

Instead, the promotion and demotion system has been cancelled. The clubs will promote more newcomers and play more aggressively. There will be no such situation where both teams are seeking stability and have been operating and dare not fight.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Pei Qian felt that it would be better not to have a relegation match.

Ding Gan grimaced: "President Pei, isn't it possible for our club to return to GPL in this life?"

"Mr. Pei, our SUG has been deeply involved in the field of e-sports for many years. If the GPL excludes us, this is also a loss!"

Pei Qian looked at the three club owners and said, "This... it's not impossible to come back."

"If you want to maintain the GPL quota, you need to continue to invest. Once the club bottoms out and loses in a row, it will not be able to bring brand value to the parent company, but it will become a burden. There will definitely be clubs who want to quit."

"At this time, we will act as an intermediary to match the transfer of GPL quota."

"And clubs that have achieved good results in the GDL league will receive a 30% discount when they purchase GPL quota."

In other words, when a club burns money and fails to produce results, you can choose to use new people, train new people, continue to survive, or you can choose to transfer, stop the loss in time and make a fortune.

In this way, it not only guarantees the interests of the existing GPL league teams, so that they will not suffer too much loss whether they stay or leave, and they can invest with confidence, but also provide certain convenience for the GDL league clubs.

Ding Gan was silent with the other two club owners for a long time, and could only nodded helplessly.

"Well, President Pei."

They can't help it. This is the best solution they can get.

At least I have 15 million in my hands.

First go to play GDL, form a team, train players, after the scores, some excellent players can be sold to GPL teams at a high price, and at the same time when the GPL quota changes, they can get the priority to enter, can spend a little less money.

The bosses of the three clubs didn't expect that, they just wanted to put pressure on Tenda a little bit, and let Tenda make some concessions on the players' standard contracts.

As a result, I never expected that I would lose every game after playing.

...

After the three club owners left, Pei Qian said to Zhang Yuan: "I have thought about the rules of the GPL league."

"Internet cafes, professional development league GDL, professional league GPL. Among them, the GPL quota, as I just said, there is no relegation competition, but it can be transferred."

"As for the money for these clubs to buy places, it is divided into three parts."

"The first part is to return to these clubs, so that they can use their funds to maintain the youth training base. Each club must have a youth training base to attract young people with potential, but the temporary strength is not enough to play professionally. The newcomers in the league, let these newcomers feel the professional atmosphere in advance, face the matter of playing professionally earlier, and be prepared."

"The second part is used to support the development of the GDL league and Internet cafes. The professional development league has relatively low attention. Give these clubs more support and exposure opportunities."

"The third part is used for the daily operation, maintenance and construction of the GPL."

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Huh? President Pei, only use this money to maintain the daily operations of the GPL? The rent of the venue and various other expenses, I am afraid that there is no way to cover it, right?"

Pei Qian nodded: "Of course it can't be covered. It would have been impossible to cover it with this money."

"In the future, tickets can be collected for competitions, there can be sponsors and advertisers, there are many ways to make money."

"Tengda is the organizer, don't always stare at this petty profit, take a long-term view. If the money is not enough, Tenda will advance the payment first, and wait until you make money later."

Zhang Yuan couldn't help being in awe.

Sure enough, President Pei still has a long-term goal!

If the money goes down, although there is nothing to be seen in the short term, in the long run, it will definitely greatly improve the ecology of the entire e-sports industry!

In fact, Pei Qian didn't think so much, just choosing a plan with the lowest chance of making money right now.

There are only three places for this money: either it will be spent on the league and promoted vigorously; or it will be spent on the club to transform the training base and environment; or it will be spent on the training system.

And for leagues or clubs, it is very easy to quickly improve the level of competition, enhance the appreciation, and attract heat. If so many big sponsors are attracted because of the skyrocketing popularity, then maybe even this cycle will not pass. Profitable.

Based on past experience, this possibility is not low.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Pei Qiansi still smashed into the training system, built a youth training base for the club, and supported the development of GDL and Internet cafes. This would be slower and more persistent.
