Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

In the hotel, the data analysis team of FV Club is discussing and analyzing today's game with the players.

The FV club members only attended the opening ceremony today and came back after watching the first four games.

Watching the game on the spot is mainly to feel the atmosphere of the stadium in advance. After all, the players have never played in such a large venue before with the cheers of 20,000 spectators.

The pressure on the players is naturally different in different venues.

In a venue with tens of thousands of people, the applause and cheers of the audience are like a tsunami. If it is a critical round, the pressure on the players will increase exponentially.

In this case, most players will experience situations such as nervousness, trembling hands, head-ups, etc., while a small number of players will be excited, more focused, and play at a super level.

This is also the value of the so-called big heart players and big competition players.

Of course, whether a player has a big heart is innate. Some people can play famous scenes when they are in their teens for the first time in a big game, and some people have a mentality that breaks after a few years.

But to a certain extent, this mentality problem can still be improved.

The members of the FV club deliberately felt the atmosphere at the scene today, and did some psychological construction in advance. They should have a better mentality when the quarterfinals are on the court.

Of course, the focus of the discussion is mainly on the content of the game.

"Needless to say in today's first game, the difference between the strengths of the two sides is too large, the version and tactics are not correct, and there is no reference value."

"In the second game, both sides played okay, but the mid-term decision-making was obviously too rough. There are many things that can be improved..."

Zhou Pengyuan, the current coach of the DGE club, is rehearsing these games, and the rest of the data analysis team, including the players, are constantly presenting their views and opinions.

After the analysis, Zhou Pengyuan made a simple summary.

"From the situation on the first day of the group stage, these teams' understanding of the version and style of play is still very different from ours."

"It's hard to say who is the correct version of understanding between us and them, nor can we be too blindly confident."

"In this way, waiting for tomorrow, the second team of SUG and FV will each practice the mainstream style of play that appeared in the group stage. Use this style of play to play a training match with the first team to see how effective it is."

"We don't have to learn other people's styles of play, but at least we must have a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of this style of play."

Zhou Pengyuan assigned the task, and everyone else wrote it down.

Tomorrow's game players will not go to see it. The data analysis team will watch the game, review the analysis, and then wait for the evening to tell the players the results of the game and the review analysis directly.

Players should continue to train, study the play styles of other teams, expand their hero pool, and maintain their feel.

After all the tasks were arranged, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms to have a good rest.

The three cameras have finished taking today's material, and are ready to go back to the room to edit the pictures, edit the video and post on Weibo.

Wu Yue hurriedly stopped the three cameramen, Manager Lu and others.

"Everyone, don't rush to go, there is something to explain."

"Just now Mr. Pei assigned us a task to increase our vitality on Weibo, and also to synchronize on Weibo and Twitter..."

Wu Yue gave a detailed introduction to President Pei's request.

In short, how can we get the high heat and high traffic? The domestic and foreign teams are treated the same, and the rain and dew are equal, and the team is open!

After listening to President Pei's request, everyone was almost at a loss with Wu Yue's previous expressions.

"It's a whole job, it's obviously a hatred! Now the domestic players are grieving very much. Zhengzhou has not a breakthrough. The other two clubs have pretended to be dead. Let's jump out now. ?"

"I think it's okay, it's not us who lost the game."

"The problem is that we didn't win either... We are working now, passers-by will think that we are swollen, we are in trouble, and the fans of the other two clubs will also hate us, and we will definitely be destroyed by then!"

"Perhaps Mr. Pei meant, let us play a bit more funny stuff? We can't just mock other teams."

"That's impossible. What President Pei is asking for is heat and flow. Where can the heat and flow of other teams not start the team? President Pei has almost made it clear. Let us rest assured and boldly start the team."

"That must be sprayed, the players will be under a lot of pressure."

"It's okay. The players can't play on mobile phones or surf the Internet. They won't know."

"But what's the point of doing this? The risks and rewards taken don't seem to be proportional."

If it’s someone else’s suggestion, then everyone must just go straight without thinking about it. They started a group to pull hatred before the war because they were afraid that they would not die fast enough?

It's totally unnecessary!

But since it was the request made by Mr. Pei, he had to find a way to fulfill it.

Everyone discussed it for a long time and didn't discuss the reason, so they could only do so.

Fortunately, there are many people in the accompanying team. Go to the Internet to collect some interesting stalks, and then you can play freely, find suitable pictures or videos, and quickly find the materials for opening groups on Weibo.

All three photographers can edit pictures and edit videos, translate them into bilingual subtitles, and everything will work together.

...

The discussion on the opening day of the ioi global finals continued throughout the day.

Because many people didn't stay up all night to watch the ioi global finals, they only knew yesterday's result after getting up.At first glance, both domestic teams lost. Many GOG players also participated in the discussion.

Among them, the real strength of the domestic team is obviously the focus of discussion.

Both teams lost in the first round of the group stage, and the risk of qualifying suddenly increased. Naturally, everyone would feel that the overall level of the domestic team in the ioi project is much worse than the foreign team.

Not long after the World Finals started, many viewers seem to have seen its bleak ending.

Relatively speaking, the topic of FV club is the least. Because there is no competition, the topics are all focused on the other two losing teams.

The audience is busy catching war criminals, and naturally they have no interest in the "luxury life" of FV club.

However, the players never expected that FV Club would post Weibo again!

And this Weibo is not about eating, drinking, and having fun, but a mocking picture.

This picture is stitched together. The upper part is a picture of a foreign swimming pool. In the upper right corner of the picture is a middle-aged man lifting his child high above the water. His face is full of smiles. The middle-aged man’s head is P A Tengda logo, and an FV club logo on the child’s face;

To the left of the middle-aged man, there is a child who is desperately thumping and seems to be about to sink to the bottom, with a struggling expression; the lower part of the picture is a picture of the bottom of the water, a skeleton sitting on a chair seems to have been dead for many years.

The two pictures are forcibly stitched together.

The faces of the child and the skeleton were marked with the logos of the other two domestic clubs: the one struggling on the water was the team that was overturned after the fierce battle; the one under the water was the team that was directly pushed by 30 minutes in the opening game .

The main text of Weibo is a sentence, bilingual in both Chinese and English: "Dear brothers, how are you? Beckon, beckon, beckon"

As soon as this Weibo was posted, it immediately attracted the attention of countless players.

This ridiculous meaning is full!

The meaning is clear. The other two clubs are now in a dire situation. One has sunk to the bottom, and the other is still struggling, but not far from the sinking. Only the FV club floats on the water happily and plays with nothing. You need to worry about the win.

The text of Weibo is even more ridiculous. On the surface it is a greeting. However, with this "beckoning" expression, it seems like waving goodbye to the two clubs.

Sure enough, Weibo was sprayed not long after it was posted.

"Too bad! Are the brothers fighting like this?"

"Hehe, you can still talk cool words now only because you didn't play, waiting for the quarterfinals to be eliminated 3:0!"

Of course, there are some other voices, but they are basically neutral views. They do not speak but do not support them.

"Fortunately, this is just a joke, don't be too glass-hearted."

"The problem is that those two teams didn't play well. Why don't you tell me if they didn't play well?"

"Hey, I suggest that you don't post some controversial Weibo on this kind of knots. It's really easy to get hacked."

Many fans of FV clubs are also worried for them, for fear of losing the game later, because these Weibo posts were sprayed as dogs.

However, less than ten minutes later, FV Club updated another Weibo.

"We have a hunch that the'injury conversion rate' of the entire FV team will not be optimistic."

There are two comparison pictures below. The first one is "Economy for other teams to eat", and the picture is the room and board conditions of the Courtyard Hotel; the second one is "Economy for FV Teams to eat", and the picture is Ritz-Carlton. The accommodation conditions of the hotel.

On the surface, it means that the food and lodging conditions are likened to the economy of eating in the game, because the FV team’s food and lodging conditions are much better than other teams, so the eating economy is more, and the injury conversion rate will be much lower.

But in fact, I was showing off my better food and lodging conditions.

The audience hadn't reacted yet, and even the fans hadn't figured out the wording. The FV club has updated a Weibo and Twitter simultaneously!

This time the content is much simpler, just @ a few foreign traditional giants, including the No. 1 seeds in the two European and American divisions. The picture is a propaganda slogan on the wall of a certain village in China: Recognize the situation and give up fantasy.

In less than an hour, the FV Club posted four or five Weibo and Twitter intensively, all of which were bilingual in Chinese and English.

Domestically, there were still a lot of people spraying on Weibo at the beginning, but slowly, fewer and fewer people sprayed.

Because everyone found that the vocabulary of the spray has been exhausted, but the FV club is still working in an endless stream.

Moreover, the FV club not only reorganizes domestic teams, but also reorganizes foreign teams...

For example, the second Weibo is openly mocking the accommodation conditions of all other teams, while the third Weibo is declaring war on other foreign seeded teams.

So by the time of the next few Weibo, most of the domestic players felt that the FV club was over-inflating their self-confidence.

Because the FV club has no games now, even if they scold them for swelling, they have to wait until they lose the game and then scold them. Otherwise, what if they really win the foreign team after scolding them?

Although many domestic netizens don't like this kind of excessively high-profile Weibo, it has to be said that it does have a good effect, and the attention is directly filled.

At first, everyone was catching the two clubs that lost the game. Now the FV club suddenly jumped out and took away the hatred. Naturally, they all attracted their attention.

And on Twitter, FV Club's official account attention is also growing rapidly!

Because Tenda has invested in many established foreign clubs, as long as you say hello, these clubs will interact with the official account of the FV club. This interaction will bring fans.

The acceptance of these neat tweets abroad is obviously much higher, and the comment area is full of laughter expressions like "LOL".

After all, for domestic players, humility is a virtue. They feel that they can’t speak too much and are afraid of being beaten afterwards; but foreign players don’t care much about it. They are all in the mindset of watching the excitement, even if they are beaten afterwards. Generally not to step on it.

Therefore, the number of followers of FV Club’s official account on Twitter has grown rapidly, and several established clubs have also followed each other and expressed their appreciation for FV Club.

But shortly afterwards, the FV club brought these old clubs together AOE.

The new Weibo and Twitter content read: "Genealogy of the Tenda family."

The picture below is a tree-like genealogy map, the top of the tree-like picture is Tenda, the lower part is a thicker line connecting the FV club, and marked "pro son", and there are some thinner lines connected Other established European and American clubs such as FRY, and labeled "Godson".

Obviously, the FV club is in the business class and the luxury five-star hotel. Of course, it is a proper pro-son treatment in Tenda. On the other hand, other clubs are only sponsored, but all things such as food and accommodation are ignored. Naturally, it is a godson treatment.

And this thing is not easy to refute. After all, several old clubs such as FRY did receive sponsorship from Tenda, and even the logos on the team uniforms can be seen by anyone with eyes.

As soon as this Weibo was posted, it immediately had the effect of killing the game and was reposted by players!

"Oh my god, this FV club is crazy...After finishing domestic clubs and foreign clubs, the mentality of these participating teams has been beaten by FV..."

"What can't you do, get first place!"

"I took it, and I did show the level of the No. 1 seed in the whole life."

"It's weird. The Weibo of the FV club was not in this style. Why, suddenly changed to a new media operation editor?"

"I'm afraid it was the club owner's motion!"

"This wave, this wave must be President Pei's strategizing. Like the previous ioi qualifiers, they are all arranged!"

When the first Weibo of the FV Club was posted, it did arouse a lot of people's disgust. After all, the whole work is like trash talk. If you want to make a program effect, it will definitely arouse some people's disgust.

But after the FV club insisted on fixing several items, many people suddenly accepted this setting, but found it quite interesting!

Because the FV club is not only open for domestic teams, but also for foreign teams. They are treated equally, which brings a lot of happiness to the netizens and also reduces the frustration of losing the previous two teams.

Coupled with the previously updated food and lodging conditions of FV Weibo, all attention, whether domestic or foreign, is concentrated on the FV club.

Although there is no competition, the FV club's attention has grown rapidly, and it has quickly surpassed the other two clubs!

...

At the same time, point to the hotel near the company's headquarters.

Zhao Xuming brushed his phone and said with a sullen face: "Bah, bad luck!"

For the past two days, Zhao Xuming has been visiting and inspecting the Zhitou Company. Chretien allowed the employees of the Zhitou Company to accompany him throughout the process.

Today, Zhao Xuming also went to the scene of the game and watched the two games with domestic teams. The result was suffocated.

What a shame!

If you win one of two games, it's okay to say, at least the first win.

As a result, both teams lost. One lost like diarrhea and the other lost like constipation. It is difficult to say which one is more embarrassing.

Of course, Zhao Xuming is qualified to be angry. After all, Longyu Group paid for the two teams to come to Los Angeles for training in advance. After so long, did they practice this?

All the money is spent in the dog's belly!

But Zhao Xuming didn’t say anything. After all, this is the first day of the game. If the two clubs play well behind, they can still qualify. So at this time, it’s better to focus on comfort instead of being too harsh, as that will affect the players even more. Mentality.

Originally, Zhao Xuming's mentality was almost adjusted, but this set of operations by the FV club broke his mentality again.

What Zhao Xuming thought before was that the two domestic teams lost all on the first day of the group stage. This is already the worst situation, and the situation can't get worse?

As a result, I realized that I was too young.

The FV club directly performed high-intensity activities on Weibo and Twitter, and also interacted with foreign clubs, which directly attracted most of the domestic heat and attracted many fans abroad.

Although many people spray, but getting sprayed is also part of the heat.

The FV club was originally a small club, without any reputation abroad. As a result, this wave of Weibo activities directly mentioned his coffee position to the same level as the old European and American clubs such as FRY, which can be said to be a blood profit.

For Zhao Xuming, this is of course unacceptable.

Because everyone knows that FV club is a club invested by Tenda, the stronger FV's presence, the more uncomfortable Zhao Xuming.

But Zhao Xuming has no good way. He can't tell Weibo and Twitter to block the official account of FV club, right?That's not sensible.

Can only pretend not to see it.

At this moment, the mobile phone once again issued a "chuck" prompt, which was another new Weibo of the FV club.

Zhao Xuming was speechless: "Here again? It's not over!"

He clicked on it and found that it was the Weibo of "Tengda Big Family Genealogy". There were not only FV clubs but also clubs sponsored by Tenda such as FRY.

"What the hell is this!"

"Too much bullying!"

Seeing this Weibo, Zhao Xuming became even more angry.

As early as when he was watching the game, he had noticed that there are many old clubs in Europe and America with the sponsorship logo of Tenda or GOG on their uniforms.

On the stage of the ioi World Finals, the team uniforms turned out to be the GOG logo, which was too shameful.

This incident was originally like a thorn in Zhao Xuming's heart. As soon as this Weibo was posted, the thorn was pressed inside.

How did the club become Tenda's son?

As soon as this picture came out, it gave netizens a feeling that these clubs in the finals belonged to Tenda, and it had nothing to do with Fingers.

This is equivalent to riding a face output!

"President Pei has sponsored these clubs as early as a few months ago. Now that I want to come, it is really sinister!"

"If you continue to play as it is now, whether it is the small window of the players in the game or the interview after the game, the GOG logo will appear on the scene. Isn't this tantamount to advertising GOG?"

"And the more you play back, the more strong teams are left, and the more often this happens..."

Zhao Xuming suddenly realized that this was a very serious problem, and after a little brainstorming, he felt that the picture was too beautiful to watch.

When waiting for the semifinals, maybe all four teams have GOG logos. After the game interview, no matter which team is on the stage, you can see GOG...

too frightening!

In fact, ioi spent several million dollars to host a grand world finals. As a result, Tenda Games only sponsored a few clubs, and it took advantage of the enthusiasm of the ioi finals and played an excellent promotional effect...

For a while, Shinobu thinks more and more angry, and takes a step back and thinks more and more losses.

Zhao Xuming considered repeatedly and decided to call Chretien.

Now that I want to remove the GOG logo, it is not impossible.

Let the clubs directly breach the contract and pay the penalty.

It's just that the clubs must not be allowed to pay for themselves, the money can only be paid by the company.Of course, Zhao Xuming did not know the specific amount of this sponsorship fee and how much liquidated damages he would have to pay.

But the two evils are the lesser of power. Instead of being rubbed by GOG's heat from start to end, it is better to break his wrist, pay a sum of money, and kill all the elements related to GOG in the group stage!

...

After half an hour.

Zhao Xuming has been waiting for Chretien's call, but after waiting for so long, there is no answer, and he can't help but feel a little worried.

Chretien also very much agrees with Zhao Xuming's point of view, thinking that the frequent appearance of GOG game logos in the ioi global finals is really very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Chretien decided to call the clubs to ask how the specific sponsorship contract was signed and how much money would be lost if the contract was breached.

It took a little longer to ask.

Finally, the phone on the desk rang, and Zhao Xuming quickly picked it up.

Chretien’s voice on the phone was a little helpless: "I just asked, Tenda sponsored ten clubs in total, each with $1 million. If there is a breach of contract, double compensation will be required."

"Most of these clubs have come to the World Finals."

"It is expected that five teams may enter the quarterfinals and two or three teams enter the quarterfinals. If the quarterfinals are considered, the breach of contract will be compensated for 10 million dollars; if the quarterfinals are considered, the breach of contract Four to six million dollars in compensation."

"This money...a bit too much."

Zhao Xuming didn't know what to say for a while.

Mr. Pei actually sponsored so much money?!

Zhao Xuming didn't know the specific amount before. If according to the domestic price standard, each club may sponsor one million yuan to put up a bid, which is about 150,000 dollars in US dollars.

At this price, even if it pays a double penalty, it is completely fine and affordable.

Unexpectedly, President Pei should be such a big deal, directly smashing out 10 million dollars to sponsor these clubs, each club is 1 million dollars!

If the contract is to be breached, it is certainly impossible for the clubs to pay for the money, only Dayak Group.But even if only the top four teams defaulted, they would have to pay 4 million to 6 million dollars. This amount is too unacceptable.

Chretien said, "I feel that I am losing a lot of money, so... forget it."

Spend several million dollars just to remove the GOG logo on the participating teams?This is too stupid.

Zhao Xuming was silent for a moment, and said: "If you only consider the World Championship, it is true, but... will there be leagues after that?"

"There will be leagues in every competition area right away. Most of the seats in the spring games in Europe and America will be given to these established clubs. If you don't make up your mind now, then the spring and summer competitions of each league in the future..."

"I'm afraid the GOG game logo will appear frequently!"

"Furthermore, Tenda obviously also intends to use this to make a fuss, as can be seen from the tweet sent by the FV club."

"Every club has become Tenda's godson, and it has nothing to do with Zhitou. If Tenda continues to make a fuss about this in the future, what should we do?"

"As long as the GOG logo is always printed on the team uniform, it will keep hitting us in the face!"

On the other side of the phone, Chretien was silent for a long time.

Indeed, World Racing Shinobi is over, what about the next league!

The strong teams in the two European and American regions are basically sponsored by Tenda. By then, the top ranked and most popular teams will all have GOG logos on their uniforms. What's the matter?

Even if Chretien wanted to do the opposite, it would be useless to sponsor the GOG team. There was just an iron bucket over there and it couldn't be inserted...

Now there are only two options: either endure, pretend not to see it, and wait for the GOG logo to be hung on the uniforms of all star teams in the World Championships and various regional leagues; The GOG logo does not appear on the uniforms of several star teams.

Chretien was silent for a long time and said: "Indeed, this is a very serious problem. I will report it to the meeting and discuss it now."

Now is the critical period of the World Finals. Let the GOG icon appear one more day, it will cause some losses to Dayak Group and Finger Company, so this matter cannot be delayed, and we must hurry up to discuss it.

If you really want to breach the contract, you have to do it as soon as possible, because one day earlier, the impact will be smaller!

...

...

Saturday, December 31.

Pei Qian is sleeping beautifully.

Yesterday, after eating the melons of the ioi global finals, he has been carefully reviewing things outside the window.

According to his instructions, the FV club posted a lot of Weibo, which has filled the hatred;

Ioi’s game in the early hours of this morning was the other two teams. There was no domestic team game, so Pei Qian didn’t pay attention either.

No matter how you think today is a perfect weekend, you should have a good night's sleep.

However, before 9 o'clock, the phone on the bedside suddenly shook.

"Om... Om..."

Pei Qian opened his sleepy eyes, a little angry, and turned around thinking to ignore it.

However, the phone vibrated persistently.

Pei Qian couldn't sleep either, so he turned over and sat up very speechlessly, and glanced at the caller ID. He Desheng called.

"Could it be that there is something new about the cold-faced girl?"

"No, you have sold all the cold-faced girl's shares? It should have nothing to do with the cold-faced girl."

"Then why did He Desheng call me?"

Pei Qian felt a little confused and answered the phone: "Hello?"

On the phone, He Desheng's voice was very excited: "President Pei, there is good news!"

Pei Qian: "?"

Pei Qian shivered subconsciously when he heard the three words "good news".

But after thinking about it, I couldn't think of any good news.

Could it be that Yuanmeng Ventures has recently invested in any promising company whose valuation has soared and sold its shares to make a fortune?

But there were no signs before?

Pei Qian tried hard to keep himself calm: "What good news?"

He Desheng said: "President Pei, do you remember those foreign e-sports clubs sponsored by Dream Venture Capital?"

Pei Qian's brain was blank.

Sponsor... a foreign e-sports club?

Pei Qian tried his best to recall, and finally remembered that Dayak Group had forcibly squeezed a large sum of money in to forcibly acquire the shares in the finger company of Tenda Group. When Pei Qian was angry, he spent the money that month. out.

Among them, 10 million dollars, sponsored ten more famous foreign e-sports clubs, let them set up GOG branch, and then printed the GOG logo on the team uniform to advertise GOG.

Although this job should belong to Wang Yang game, after all, the technical industry has a specialization, so it was finally handed over to Yuanmeng Ventures and He Desheng.

But after that, Pei Qian didn't care about this matter anymore.

After all, the money has already been spent. At most, these teams will promote GOG during the live broadcast, which has not caused much disturbance.

Pei Qian asked: "What happened to these clubs...?"

The joy in He Desheng’s tone couldn’t be suppressed: “Pei, I thought you sponsored these clubs just to advertise for GOG, I really didn’t expect to have this deep meaning!”

"Just now, the owners of the five clubs contacted us, saying that they want to terminate the sponsorship contract with us and are willing to pay double compensation in accordance with the provisions of the contract!"

"That is to compensate us ten million dollars!"

Pei Qian was dumbfounded, and a string of question marks floated on his head.

???

Ten million dollars?

Compensate us?

These clubs are not in the head, right?

Before, Pei Qian spent a total of $10 million in sponsorship, but now five of the clubs have to terminate the contract and have to pay another $10 million.

The money I spent before is back by myself!

No matter how you look at it, it is Tenda's blood.

Because the sponsorship of the other five clubs is still in effect, and the five clubs that have terminated the sponsorship agreement have already advertised GOG for a long time before, and it is impossible to deduct the advertising fee.

It is equivalent to these five clubs advertised for nothing, and each lost a million dollars!

Pei Qian feels a little dizzy. He doesn't understand what is going on with these clubs. Is his brain flooded or he thinks he has too much money?

How is this operation done?

He Desheng was very happy and continued: "Mr. Pei, I briefly asked the responsible talents of these clubs what is going on."

"It turned out to be instructed by Dayak Group and Finger Company!"

"The company can't bear the GOG logo on the uniforms of these teams. Considering that the World Championship and the subsequent leagues have great influence, it is equivalent to advertising to rival GOG, so it decisively terminates the sponsorship of these clubs. contract!"

"This money is definitely not from the clubs, but from the company."

"But even so, the clubs are still at a loss. After all, the one million dollars in hand are gone. After a long time of advertising, the finger company will not give extra compensation."

"However, Zhitou has promised league seats to these clubs, which is regarded as a kind of compensation. After all, if other clubs want to get seats, they have to pay for it."

"In short, Mr. Pei, you spent 10 million dollars in sponsoring these clubs. Not only did it have a good publicity effect, but you also got it back without any difference!"

"This hand operation is really perfect, it counts the psychology of Dayak Group and Finger Company to death. Although it is a sponsorship, it is actually equivalent to an investment, and it is a big profit!"

Through the phone, Pei Qian could feel the joy of He Desheng.

Who would have thought that the money that has been spent can grow wings and fly back???

Pei Qian couldn't help but choked silently.
