Chapter 1753 High Team Subsidies

"Mr. Chen, the current tournament prize money is already quite high. Should we increase it further?"

Yao Beiguo was somewhat surprised to hear President Chen's words.

The champions of the Spring League and Autumn League each receive a prize of 500 million, while the champion of the World Championship receives a prize of up to 200 million.

Such a high prize pool is already among the highest prize pools for any esports event.

This prize money is enough for many clubs to invest in building their own teams.

Unexpectedly, President Chen even wanted to increase the prize money for the competition and also provide subsidies to the teams.

He had never heard of anyone organizing esports competitions and providing subsidies to esports teams.

"Is it really that high? I looked into it, and it seems that the prize money for the esports competitions we host isn't the highest."

Chen Mo picked up his teacup and took a small sip. He hadn't really known much about these things when he invested in the tournament prize money.

When I called Yao Beiguo over just now, I took a closer look and found out that the prize money he offered for the competition was not the highest.

From this perspective, the tournament prize money is something that can be managed effectively.

"Mr. Chen, how much prize money will be awarded in the competition?"

Yao Beiguo asked, knowing that President Chen was never short of money, and the increased prize money for this competition was probably not a small amount.

Those teams are probably going crazy.

"After some research, we currently have four games: [Extreme Survival], [Freedom Wars], [Tianlong], and the mobile game [Golden Shovel]."

"I'll give you 15 billion yuan in prize money for the competition. You can allocate it as you see fit."

really,

When Yao Beiguo heard the final amount of money that President Chen gave for the competition, he understood that the prize money President Chen was offering this time would not be low.

"Mr. Chen, how should the team subsidies be distributed?"

"Are all teams receiving them?"

"That's not true."

Chen Mo shook his head, then asked.

"This team subsidy is only given to teams that enter the main league."

How many teams are currently in the top-tier leagues for each game?

Upon hearing President Chen's question, Yao Beiguo quickly answered.

"Mr. Chen, currently, [Tianlong] is mainly a competition among amateur experts. Only a very small number of clubs have trained professional Tianlong players, so there are currently no league teams in [Tianlong].

"【Golden Shovel】is a mobile game that became popular last year. There are no tournaments organized yet, so we don't know how to plan for it at the moment."

"【Extreme Survival】currently has 48 league teams, and 【Freedom Wars】currently has 16 league teams."

"However, the number of teams in this competition is not fixed every year. There is a promotion and relegation competition at the beginning of each year, and many teams will participate in this competition."

"The top 48 in the [Extreme Survival] competition will enter the league, and the top 16 in the [Freedom War] competition will also enter the league."

Yao Beiguo began to explain.

Upon hearing Yao Beiguo's words, Chen Mo lightly rubbed the rim of his teacup with his fingers, beginning to calculate how much team subsidy to distribute.

After a long pause, a decision was finally made.

"Yes, the lowest team subsidy for [Extreme Survival] is 100 million per year, with a total of 48 teams. The ranking is based on the final year-end results."

"The last six are the lowest tier, and then every six are a new tier, with each tier receiving an additional subsidy of 50."

Upon hearing President Chen's words, Yao Beiguo secretly pondered for a moment.

The lowest tier is a subsidy of 100 million, and then every six places you advance to a new tier increases the subsidy by 50.

那补贴金额分别是100万、 150万、200万、 250万、 300万、 350万、 400万、450万。

All of these add up to 2200 million. If each level has an indwelling needle, then the total is 1.32 million.

This is like giving away 1.32 million yuan for nothing.

"Mr. Chen, how should the tournament subsidies for [Freedom War] be distributed?"

Yao Beiguo continued to ask.

"【Freedom War】, the lowest tier of subsidy is 200 million, and each second-place advancement forms a new tier, with each tier increasing by 50."

Chen Mo spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Yao Beiguo thought for a moment and realized that the final prize money distribution was the same as that for the "Extreme Survival" competition.

However, since there are only 16 teams in the league, the total team subsidies are 4400 million.

The total per-device subsidy for the two games is 1.76 million.

"Mr. Chen, the team subsidies will cost a total of 1.76 million. Isn't that a bit too high?"

Yao Beiguo hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Not high. This is to increase the lifespan of esports. As long as the attention on esports competitions remains high, the lifespan of our game will also increase."

Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"How about this, forget 1.76 million, I'll give you 200 million. Use the extra 20 million to select some outstanding professional players each year and give them individual bonuses."

After much deliberation, it turned out that the subsidies would ultimately cost 2 million yuan.

Add in the prize money, and the total comes to 17 billion.

Not bad though.

This time, the 50 saplings can earn 7.5 million yuan, and the subsequent 100 million saplings are expected to earn 10 billion yuan.

That 17 billion yuan just happened to consume the money earned from the seedlings.

Chen Mo thought secretly in his heart.

"Alright, that's all for now. Go back and make a good plan for the event."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll go back first."

Yao Beiguo got up and left the office. This time, President Chen had invested too much in the prize money for the competition. He would definitely have to make a good plan when he got back.

However, the owners of those teams are probably happy.

With the announcement of the tournament prize money and subsidies, it's estimated that many new teams will emerge this year.

Regardless, at least they've made it into the league, and the guaranteed team subsidy of 100 million is already quite good.

Of course, this is without buying some star players with strong abilities.

Nowadays, the minimum transfer fee for those talented star players is tens of millions.

However, if a team with a small investment makes it directly into the league, then the owner of that team can definitely make a fortune.

After all, any team that can make it into the league has pretty good players, and if one or two very strong rookie stars emerge...

Regardless of whether the team can win the league championship, the transfer fees for the two rookie champions will be a huge profit.

"Well, go and do your work."

Chen Mo waved to Yao Beiguo and waited until Yao Beiguo left.

Since I had nothing else to do, I started playing games.

There's no rush to invest in movies right now.
