Chapter 1754 Tournament Prize Money Arrangement

Yao Beiguo said with a mysterious expression.

"What exactly is this grand plan?"

Tao Ze's eyes grew even more curious upon hearing Yao Beiguo's words.

"President Chen increased the tournament prize money and also added a team subsidy."

"I understand increasing tournament prize money, but what exactly does this team subsidy mean?"

Tao Ze asked curiously.

"Mr. Chen is probably worried that some teams that don't rank well won't be able to keep their teams running because they don't have any prize money from tournaments."

"So the team subsidy was set up to enable these teams to continue."

"As long as the team makes it into the league, regardless of their ranking, they will receive a guaranteed subsidy of 100 million."

"and........."

Yao Beiguo explained the team subsidy in detail.

After a while.

Tao Ze was shocked; he hadn't expected President Chen to invest so much.

This team subsidy is purely charitable; there's absolutely no profit involved.

"Brother Yao, what about the tournament prize money? How much did President Chen increase it?"

"Mr. Chen has given a total of 15 billion yuan in prize money for this competition. We need to make our own arrangements for this prize money."

"15 billion! That's a huge sum!"

Tao Ze opened his mouth in shock once again.

"You're making a fuss over nothing. Has Mr. Chen always been this generous with his investments?"

Yao Beiguo looked at Tao Ze's shocked expression and smiled as he spoke.

“Brother Yao, I know that President Chen has always been generous, but the increase from 2.5 million yuan in prize money to 15 billion yuan is too big.”

Tao Ze gave an awkward laugh.

"Let's put that aside for now. Let's first properly distribute the tournament prize money. The promotion and relegation matches are coming up soon. We just released the information about team subsidies and tournament prize money before the promotion and relegation matches."

"Okay, Brother Yao."

Tao Ze and the other person nodded, then went to the desk and began to make plans.

"I don't think [Tianlong] needs to add more bonuses now. The main reason for player activity in [Tianlong] is still the gold farming system."

"There wasn't much attention on the competition; the 5000 million prize money was enough for all the players to split."

"I think so too. So how should the Golden Shovel organize a league?"

"Currently, the mobile game [Golden Shovel] is limited to the domestic market and has not been developed overseas. Moreover, [Golden Shovel] does not have teammates like [Extreme Survival] and [Freedom Wars]; it is all about individual operation."

"In this way, many amateur masters will likely emerge, and we can't limit ourselves to clubs, so I think a nationwide competition system is better."

"Yes, I think that's better too. The Golden Shovel has a season every six months, so we can hold a league every season."

"There are a total of 48 spots in the league, and the roster for each league can be confirmed through several selection processes."

"Since it's a grassroots event, we can open a peak tournament for a certain period of time, and the top 10 players can get league spots."

"We can also hold several qualifying competitions, with the top few in each competition qualifying for the league. We can also increase the prize money for these competitions to motivate the participants."

"So how should the prize money for this [Golden Shovel] be allocated?"

“I think 500 billion is enough. There are two seasons a year, 5000 million per season, and 2500 million for the prize money of several qualifying tournaments.”

"2000 million will be used for the final league prize money; the champion will receive 1000 million, and the third-place finisher will receive 500 million..."

"10 million. If someone wins a championship in a game, that's enough to change their life. In reality, most people don't even have 2 million, let alone 20 million."

"I'm sure a lot of people will go crazy if this competition is released."

"That's good. With this competition, many more players will likely play the game for the prize money, which will increase player engagement."

"........."

The two men began a heated discussion in the office.

An hour later,

The two looked at the final result of their discussion and nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Yao, isn't the prize money for this competition outrageous?"

Tao Ze was still somewhat shocked when he saw the final distribution of the prize money.

Putting aside everything else, the domestic league champion alone already has a prize of 2000 million yuan, and the world champion has an even higher prize of 8000 million yuan.

The prize money for the domestic league used to be only 500 million yuan, but now it has quadrupled, which is enough to drive many teams crazy.

Moreover, there are two leagues in China, the Spring Season and the Autumn Season. The prize money is not as much as the World Championship, but there are more opportunities.

This doesn't even include the secondary leagues and various smaller leagues.

Even city leagues and university leagues have prize money of over a million yuan.

"There's no other way. With so much prize money from the tournament given by President Chen, it definitely has to be distributed."

Yao Beiguo smiled helplessly.

"But this is good too. With the prize money for the tournament increased, the clubs will definitely invest more in their teams."

"We also trained a few outstanding players last year, and they have already been assigned to other teams."

"As long as those players can perform well in the team, other clubs will definitely spend a lot of money to rent or buy them later."

Yao Beiguo said with a smile, "President Chen has increased the prize money for the competition."

This has indirectly made those clubs more willing to spend money, so they will definitely be more willing to spend money in the competition for good players.

A contestant who originally had 1000 million might now need 1500 million.

"That's true. At the beginning of this year, we discovered several promising players who have already joined the company's youth training program. They should be able to compete in the middle of the year."

Tao Ze spoke with a smile.

Although their BL club cannot participate in the league, it can serve as a training base for professional players.

Last year, several outstanding professional players earned hundreds of millions by selling or leasing their games.

With more players being trained this year, and Mr. Chen increasing the prize money for the competition, this year's income should be even higher.

"Alright, the season prize money has been set. Hurry up and edit the announcement and release it together with the announcement for the promotion matches."

"I understand, Mr. Yao. I'll arrange for my staff to do it right away."

Tao Ze nodded, then got up and walked outside.

one day later,

After the promotion and relegation announcement was released, many teams noticed the changes in the prize money and team subsidies.

Many teams made corresponding adjustments after seeing these advertisements.

RG team.

"Boss, you found me."

"Yes, you saw the announcement about the promotion and relegation matches, right?"

"I saw the boss."

"I don't care what methods you use, you must get me a league spot in this promotion and relegation competition."

"Boss, with our team's current strength, securing a league spot is somewhat uncertain."

"I remember you wanted to buy a player a few days ago?"

"Yes, boss, but that player was a bit pricey, and you refused. However, if we had bought that player, the chances of getting a league spot would have been much higher."

"Go ahead and buy it; the funds will be transferred later."

"Good boss."
