Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

At this time, Pei Qian was at the Mingfu family banquet, eating with all the club owners of the GPL League.

Including the H4 clubs and other owners who already had league quotas, all came to the scene to push the cup and change. It was very lively.

After the previous bidding ended, Lin Chang, Li Shi and others had already gone to the unnamed restaurant for a meal, but that time Pei Qian didn't go, and found an excuse to shirk, and Zhang Yuan went to receive it.

The main reason is the fear of being hurt twice.

As for today’s meal, I really can’t push it away.

Pei Qian considered that he had to meet these bosses and get to know each other, and at the same time, he had to clearly tell everyone about the GPL rules.

Moreover, four days have passed since the previous bidding, and the possibility of being exposed again is very low. The main topic will still focus on the GPL rules, which is a good time to meet.

This is the shop jointly opened by Li Shi and Xue Zhebin. Although the dishes are a little bit worse than the unnamed restaurant, the place is larger, so you can book the venue at will and you will be more free.

Now that the rules of GPL have been announced, all the bosses chatted while eating, and discussed the rules of GPL by the way. It was a happy scene.

Li Shi looked at the GPL rules issued by President Pei and discussed the terms with Xue Zhebin who was sitting next to him.

"Look, I said it a long time ago."

"Others collect money, that is to make money for yourself; but President Pei collects money, it must be for a longer-term goal."

"Look, President Pei received the money we bought for the quota, but it was actually divided into three parts: building a youth training base for the club, supporting the development of GDL and Internet cafes, and maintaining the normal operation of the GPL league."

"If it is a general organizer, it will definitely use a part of the money for the operation of the GPL league, and all the remaining money will be kicked in their own pockets."

"Of course, it's understandable that the organizers can make money by selling places, but this kind of behavior is too short-sighted to evaluate objectively!"

"In contrast, President Pei took the club's money and spent all of it in the league to support the underlying structure of the entire league."

"Those talented players can play the ladder first, then start from the Internet cafe, then play GDL or go to the youth training teams of various clubs...Every step can be very solid."

"Moreover, the standard contract also allows them not to worry about being trapped, and talents will not be buried."

"Once such a system is established, it can continuously pump blood for the GPL league. It's perfect!"

Xue Zhebin nodded frequently when he heard: "Indeed."

"But Mr. Li, the money is spent on these places. What about the league promotion? What about the club's capital investment? These two pieces may be relatively lacking, right?"

"Although the league system is very important from a long-term perspective, we cannot ignore the most urgent issues before us!"

Li Shi smiled slightly: "This is the difference in thinking between ordinary people and President Pei."

"The first level of thinking: sell places to make money and enrich your own pockets."

"Second level of thinking: I saw President Pei using this money to seek long-term benefits."

"The third level of thinking: see both long-term benefits and immediate benefits."

"But Pei is always higher than this, because he knows very well that long-term benefits must be achieved with money, and immediate benefits can be achieved without money!"

"So, President Pei didn't ignore the most urgent problem, but prepared another set of solutions."

Xue Zhebin was a little at a loss: "Really? But how can I solve it if there is no money?"

The promotion of the GPL league and the construction of the club’s infrastructure require money.

Li Shi explained: "President Pei has more than just money, but also other resources, such as word of mouth, trust and attention!"

"The long-term benefits of the GPL league cannot be guaranteed with these things. For example, if you want to support GDL and youth training, it is useless to have attention. No one will spend money to do this, but Mr. Pei can only pay for it. "

"But the immediate benefits of the GPL league can be realized with word of mouth, trust and attention!"

"The so-called immediate benefits are nothing more than the initial enthusiasm, attention, and club building of the GPL league."

"Look at these people here now, what kind of combination is it?"

"There are domestic old-brand clubs, there are veterans of the first GOG global finals, there are nationally well-known large companies such as Shenhua Real Estate and Jinding Group, and there are also like us. Although the money and reputation are not outstanding, they fully support , Cooperate with General Pei’s ordinary participants."

"There is no need for publicity at all. Just publishing this list will be enough to offset tens of millions of publicity funds!"

"In other words, the GPL league was already on fire before it started. How about more publicity funds and less publicity funds?"

"What's more, the turmoil between President Pei and the three clubs has lasted for more than half a month. On the one hand, the popularity of the GPL league has continued to rise, and on the other hand, it has also sent a very clear signal to the outside world."

"The audience trust President Pei, but the capital may not necessarily trust. Many people believe that President Pei can make a good game, but they don't trust him to run a league."

"Through this incident, President Pei used extremely strong means to prove that he has absolute control over GPL!"

"The three clubs will play as they say they are playing, and the rest of the clubs are all unconditional cooperation. At the same time, President Pei does not implement the promotion system, and spends a lot of money on the bottom training system. In fact, it gives a clear signal: GPL is going Long-term!"

"Combined with multiple signals, sponsors don't worry about their own money being in vain, and naturally they will pay to sponsor clubs and GPL leagues.

"This is the cleverness of President Pei: On the surface it is spending money for long-term benefits, but in fact it is spreading a signal, and this signal has won more money, and even short-term problems have been solved. Up."

"The rookie makes the choice, the master's choice is all!"

"If you don't believe me, we will wait and see. After a while, various sponsors will come to the door."

Li Shi had already drunk some wine before, and was three-point drunk. At this time, his face was slightly flushed, and he was extremely satisfied with his analysis.

"So that's it!" Xue Zhebin suddenly, trying to digest.

And Pei Qian was eating food at this time.

Everyone was talking, either talking loudly or lowering their heads to whisper, and these voices sounded in Pei Qian, which made Pei Qian full of anxiety.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket shook, and it was Qiu Hong who called.

Pei Qian knew that there must be something more important, and he just wanted to go out to breathe, and immediately got up and went outside to answer the phone.

...

Coming to a relatively quiet corner outside, Pei Qian answered the phone.

On the phone, Qiu Hong briefly introduced Wu Zhicheng's situation here.

"President Pei, this is probably the case."

"My consideration is that the most critical issue right now is not money. Although independent game producers are also short of money, they are also short of other things."

"Especially for various supporting facilities, the investment in this area is large and the results are slow, which is a difficult problem to solve."

"So, in a situation like Wu Zhicheng, I'm a bit uncertain about what should be done."

"I have decided to invest money for him, but I haven't thought about the specific method of investment."

"If you just give money, the project can still be completed, but I still feel that something is missing."

"President Pei, on this point, I have an immature idea about infrastructure facilities."

Hearing this, Pei Qian's eyes lit up instantly.

Large investment in basic supporting facilities and slow results?

Good thing!

For independent game makers, as long as they have money, they can make games. Whether the working environment is good or bad is actually not very important.

Many independent game producers have also made good works in a messy working environment.

Since it doesn't matter much, why not arrange a better environment for them?

This should be a typical high input and low output, right?

Isn't this what you like best?

Pei Qian said immediately: "Just say directly, how much money do you need for this immature idea."

Hearing that President Pei was so simple, Qiu Hong hesitated instead: "Uh... President Pei, my idea is like this."

"In large cities such as Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and Yangcheng, each set up an incubation base similar to a'co-working space'. Of course, Jingzhou can also open it."

"Similar to the entrepreneurial base, we will recruit administrative and financial employees in a unified manner. The job of these people is to serve every independent game producer and help them solve a series of problems other than game development."

"At the same time, they can also give some guidance to their work, such as simply teaching them how to make development plans, contact painters, make financial statements, and so on."

"Game producers can also know and communicate with each other."

"In an incubation base like this, the daily water and electricity, employee salaries, rent, etc., add up to at least two to three million yuan a month. The specific cost depends on the number of workstations, location and other factors."

Pei Qian frowned: "Two or three hundred thousand? This is not in line with the Tenda spirit at all!"

"Do you only count the rent of the workstation, the employee's basic company, and utility bills?"

"Isn't the office computer counted? Didn't the employee benefits count? The independent game developers work so hard to give people a little guaranteed income to maintain their daily lives, right?"

"The incubation base is a good thing, open it!"

"The poor road plan is still going on as usual. How to support those companies or how to support them. As for the incubation base, I will give you extra money and open up the flowers!"

Pei Qian is very happy, Qiu Hong is really outstanding, so soon he thought of a new way to spend money!

...

Qiu Hong hung up the phone and couldn't help but sigh.

Mr. Pei is really an entrepreneur who really loves the game industry and can be a real-time and vigorous entrepreneur at the same time!

With such a tangled problem, Mr. Pei easily settled the issue and found a solution.

He looked at Wu Zhicheng: "Your game, you have a plan to vote!"

"In addition, we will also provide you with office space and some necessary help, hoping to make this game well together."

Wu Zhicheng's mouth opened slightly, feeling that this scene seemed a bit unreal.

After a few seconds, he said, "Thank you, President Qiu! Thank you so much!"

Qiu Hong smiled with emotion: "No, we all have to thank Mr. Pei."
