Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

December 18th, Sunday.

Wu Yue was in the office with Manager Lu and counted the heads with his fingers.

"We arrived in Los Angeles, hired a tour guide, four bodyguards and drivers there, and rented a minibus."

"FV club first team, second team, SUG club five main players, plus you, me, team leader, coach, analyst, a total of 20 people. Plus two translators, three documentary photographers, In this case, there are 25 people."

"Five people short."

"Bring a team doctor to ensure the health of the team members. You can also take everyone to do some simple physical training in the hotel to maintain their physical condition."

"It's still four people short."

Wu Yue counted with his fingers, but he couldn't make up 30 people.

The main reason is that Mr. Pei gave too many places. Wu Yue even brought three photographers. The other logistics personnel including translators, team leaders, coaches, analysts, team doctors, etc. must also be brought. The result was still four people short, and I really didn't know who to take.

Although President Pei has no special requirements for the identity of the personnel, after all, this is an official business trip, so how many people should be involved in the game?

President Pei is very generous, and his gesture is like asking everyone to travel to Los Angeles at public expense, but Wu Yue dare not really engage in public tourism. On the contrary, it is very stressful.

Give millions, what if you can't get good results!

Manager Lu suggested: "Mr. Wu, we can’t think of any more candidates even if our club is full of players. Instead, you can ask Mr. Zhang to see if he has any suitable candidates. "

"After all, it was Mr. Pei who funded it. The remaining four places will bring people from Tenda. It's a little bit past on the scene. Moreover, with such a high standard of public expense travel, the employees from Tenda should also want to come."

Wu Yue nodded suddenly: "Yes, ask Mr. Zhang."

"In that case, I will call Mr. Zhang, and you will call Mr. Ding Ganding of the SUG club."

...

DGE gaming club.

Zhang Yuan: "Four places left? No one can choose?"

"Well... we have four people here, it's not a problem, I think about it."

After listening to Wu Yue explaining the situation on the phone, Zhang Yuan fell into deep thought.

When the FV club went out, Mr. Pei personally intervened and gave a very high standard of board and lodging, and it is mandatory to bring enough 30 people!

And this does not count the guides and bodyguards hired locally in Los Angeles.

Why take so many people?

Now let alone domestic, even the world-wide e-sports environment is still relatively informal.Not to mention anything else, the domestic professional players often played games at their own expense in the past two years, and I often heard about the cold water instant noodles at Sleeping Road.

Especially for this kind of international competitions, because the expenses are high after going abroad, so the expenditure can be saved or saved. The fewer the number of people, the better.

But Mr. Pei gave far more than the standard treatment, why is this?

After a brief consideration, Zhang Yuan immediately thought of two points: First, to show Tenda's financial resources and emphasis on e-sports to the outside world through the FV club; second, to ensure logistics at all costs and strive for good results as much as possible!

Because the FV club has been bound to Tenda, the better the FV club’s performance, the longer Tenda’s face will be. Relatively speaking, the more the company and the Longyu Group will face.

Whether to take bonuses or not is secondary. The key is popularity and advertising effect.

Therefore, this time the entourage is definitely not going to travel, and it has to be more or less effective.

Zhang Yuan said: "If you look at the entire Tenda Group, there are really four more suitable candidates, but I don't know if they are willing to go."

"Ye Zhizhou, Min Jingchao, Bao Xu, Zhou Pengyuan."

"Ye Zhizhou is the person in charge and game designer of Wangyang Games. He was once responsible for the operation of ioi's national service. He has a good understanding of ioi's various data. Of course, his understanding is limited to the previous version."

"Min Jingchao, the designer of GOG, has been responsible for game design and numerical balance since GOG went live."

"Bao Xu, a senior veteran designer of Tenda Games, a hardcore player, is proficient in most games, GOG and ioi are not a problem. And he has very rich travel experience, good physical fitness, and strong ability to withstand stress."

"Zhou Pengyuan, the former commander of the second team of the DGE club, but he is indeed older and his state has declined more severely. Some time ago, he has decided to retire and return to the DGE club as the head coach. He has rich experience in the game and various tactics for GOG. Be proficient."

"The four people's knowledge of GOG and ioi is absolutely top notch, and they should be able to provide you with guidance in tactical formulation and data analysis."

"The only problem is...I have to ask President Pei about this matter."

"Except that Zhou Pengyuan is now the head coach of DGE and I can arrange, the other three are either Tenda veterans or department heads. They are equal to me, and I can't direct them."

On the other side of the phone, Wu Yue was stunned: "Zhang, there is no need for this! This is too exciting!"

"Our club went to Los Angeles to play a game, but the heads of the two core game departments and the chief designer of Tenda Group were accompanied by it? This... seems something wrong."

Zhang Yuan said: "Don't worry about this. Proper or improper is always Pei's consideration. If President Pei is afraid of delaying work, then I will consider other candidates."

Wu Yue thought about it for a while, so he nodded: "Okay, Mr. Zhang, then I will wait for the news.

Zhang Yuan hung up the phone and immediately called President Pei to explain the situation.

On the other side of the phone, Pei Qian had just gotten up and was eating brunch at an Internet cafe.

Hearing that Zhang Yuan was about to transfer Ye Zhizhou and Min Jing away, Pei Qian's eyes lit up and he readily agreed.

"No problem! Let them go! And this must be done, not shirk!"

Pei Qian is worried that he can't arrange them.

Now Ye Zhizhou is responsible for the operation of GOG's overseas version, and Min Jingchao is responsible for the update of GOG's new version and domestic operation. These two people can be said to be the current troubles of President Pei.

If they work a little harder, GOG's market share will increase a lot!

The better their work is, the more difficult it is for President Pei to lose money.

And this time Pei Qian arranged the itinerary for the entire FV club team until the end of next month, which is the end of the ioi global finals.

Pei Qian doesn't think that FV club can win the championship. After all, the European and American teams start early, train more, and they have to adapt to the version first. The FV club has a team that has been reorganized in less than a month. Why should it go against the old European and American strong teams?

Most of them were eliminated in the quarterfinals and at most the quarterfinals.

But being eliminated does not affect their continued travel in Los Angeles!

All other clubs booked air tickets to return home the next day after being eliminated, which is not humane.The team members usually train hard, and finally get a visa to go abroad. How many days of fun?

Therefore, no matter what the FV club is, Pei Qian will ask them to live in Los Angeles until the ioi global finals are over and come back.

So, Ye Zhizhou and Min Jingchao, two confidants, went to Los Angeles. For a whole month, the work of GOG slowed down and stagnated?

Even if these two people want to work online, there is a ten-hour time difference between Beijing and Los Angeles, one is daytime and the other is night, and Tenda will just get off work when they wake up.

very good!

So Pei Qian didn't think much about it at all and readily agreed.

As for Bao Xu and Zhou Pengyuan on the list, Pei Qian felt that they were dispensable, but since Zhang Yuan asked for someone, let them go, and it would cost a little more to pool a place.

Zhang Yuan was very moved.

President Pei really trusts himself, so the head of such an important department gave it to him!

Call these four people immediately and ask them to arrange the handover of work and prepare for urgent visas.

A few minutes later, Bao Xu, who was happily playing games at his desk, received a call from Zhang Yuan.

His expression changed from ease to astonishment, to shock and confusion.

After hanging up the phone, Bao Xu froze on his desk and began to think about life, without moving for a long time.

...

On the other side, in the SUG club, Ding Gan also received a call from Manager Lu.

"What? Take the five players from the ioi branch of the SUG club to Los Angeles???"

Ding Gan almost thought he had heard it wrong.

After listening to Manager Lu talk about the ins and outs of the whole thing, Ding Gan still did not recover from the confusion.

Unexpectedly, my team was eliminated in the domestic qualifiers and did not get the ioi World Championship, but in the end, it was still going to Los Angeles?

The members of the SUG club this time are sparring.

Because this team can be regarded as the first-class team in China, and its strength is only between the other two teams.

The last game was swept by 3:0. It was not all a matter of strength. The main reason was the collapse of mentality and insufficient tactical reserves.

Since the qualifying round, the members of the ioi division have been downcast for a long time.

I had the opportunity to show up at the World Championships, but the result was a step away and a world of difference. Who can stand it!

But now, things seem to have turned around again.

Although you can't go to the World Championships, but such a high standard of public travel is good for the players to relax!

Ding Gan thought for a while, and he really had no reason to refuse.

The only question is, why did President Pei do this?

Ding Gan thought hard.

"Could it be that... this is some kind of hint from President Pei?"

"President Pei has always had a clear love and hatred, rewards and punishments. Before SUG had friction with President Pei due to the GPL quota, he was expelled from GPL, but President Pei did not rush to kill, but gave GDL quota. "

"It's the same this time. After the reorganization of the FV club, President Pei squeezed out SUG's World Championship quota. This is not for the SUG club, but Pei is always human. He spends money to ask our players to go to Los Angeles, saying it is a sparring, but good It’s better to eat and drink and stay in a five-star hotel. This is better than traveling."

"Pei is always a bright person! The SUG club offends him, but still ignores the predecessors... On the other hand, Longyu Group has said that once SUG is eliminated, it will immediately be abandoned..."

"Stop judgment!"

Thinking of this, Ding Gan immediately nodded and said: "Okay, then I would like to thank Mr. Pei for his kindness!"

"However, I have a ruthless please."

"Can I go to Los Angeles with you? I just want to go out for a few days recently. Don't worry, all the expenses on my side are at your own expense. You only need to manage the expenses of the five players. When I arrive in Los Angeles, I will play by myself and will not disturb Daily training."

Lu Jing thought about it: "If you want to come, Mr. Ding, of course you can."

Since Ding Gan is at his own expense, there is nothing to say. He wants to go to Los Angeles. Can Manager Lu and Wu Yue stop him?

Thirty people have brought them, and I don't care about bringing one more.

What's more, the SUG team members help out with the training. Ding Gan is the owner of the SUG club.

...

After finishing the SUG club, Manager Lu returned to Wu Yue's office.

"Mr. Wu, all arrangements have been made for the SUG club!"

Wu Yue nodded: "Well, there are four remaining places."

"President Pei attaches great importance to the FV club's trip to Los Angeles this time. Now our team can be said to be the ultimate dream team!"

"Look at the four newly joined people, namely the designer of GOG, the former head of operation of ioi national service, the senior game designer of Tenda Games, the former star conductor of GOG... plus our own coaches and analysts With the players of the three teams, this reserve strength is simply overwhelming!"

After hearing Wu Yue's introduction of the four new members, Manager Lu was also shocked.

Is it okay even the chief designer of GOG goes there in person?

It's so magical!

This is equivalent to the GOG Global Invitational. The chief designer of the finger company personally analyzes the data for a certain club. It is not enough to describe this behavior with a sledgehammer!

Now the data analysis team of FV Club can be said to be the ultimate gorgeous.

More importantly, Ye Zhizhou and Min Jingchao are not fighting on their own. Behind them are the two game departments of Wangyang Games and Tenda Games. If any problems are encountered, they can be directly solved by the designers of the two departments.

Manager Lu couldn't help but sighed: "If we want to say this, we don't need an ioi world server account!"

"What high-end ranks are you playing? We brought three teams, fifteen people, and it's enough to practice with ourselves!"

"The first team members can play training games with the second team and SUG people respectively. Then when the second team and SUG play training games to test the strength of the lineup, the first team members can listen to the analyst review and explain the tactics."

"In the scattered time, the players can be divided into several groups to practice laning and keep the touch. Isn't this efficiency much higher than the high-segment RANK?"

Before, Manager Lu and Wu Yue hesitated to go to Los Angeles, mainly because they were worried that they could not get the high-end bureau account there, and the training effect could not be guaranteed.

You can't go there and go solo from zero, right?

But now it’s no longer needed. As long as you bring enough people, your training schedule will naturally fill up. It doesn’t matter whether you have a high-end bureau account or not.

Wu Yue immediately became highly motivated: "Everything is ready, this time we must train well. If you don't get a good result, I'm sorry, Mr. Pei!"
