1293 So Boss Pei's Target was IOI!

A few hours later, Zhao Xuming's plan was completed.

Zhao Xuming had dealt with these live-stream platforms all year round and knew the personalities of the upper echelons of several platforms very well. He knew very well that this plan was perfect. Most live-stream platforms had no reason to reject it.

That was because on the surface, these platforms were actually taking advantage of the plan.

Of course, it was hard to say if he was taking advantage of them.

No matter what, Tengda was the one who earned it. Even if it was a win-win situation, Tengda would definitely win more.

He sent the plan to Boss Pei again. This time, he quickly received an affirmative answer.

The speed of his reply made Zhao Xuming wonder if Boss Pei was reading the details in the plan seriously.

However, considering Boss Pei's outstanding talent and the fact that the general framework of this plan had been decided previously, it was not strange for Boss Pei to read it quickly.

Zhao Xuming would definitely not ask Boss Pei to watch the details again. Wouldn't that be crazy?

He looked at the time. There was still more than an hour to go.

There was no time to lose. He quickly took this opportunity to communicate with the Vice Presidents of several live-stream platforms and finalize the framework of this cooperation to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As far as Zhao Xuming knew, several live-stream platforms were fighting wildly for the broadcasting rights of GOG's international invitational tournament. They were even seeking to broadcast it alone. However, they had also made two preparations in secret.

There was a plan for not being able to obtain the broadcasting rights for GOG's international invitational tournament.

After all, the competition between these platforms was too intense. What if one platform really went all out to buy the exclusive broadcast rights? What would happen to the other platforms?

Of course, he had to make two preparations so that he would not be caught unaware.

This two-pronged preparation was actually a helpless move after failing to obtain the broadcasting rights for GOG's international invitational tournament. He could only give some resources to IOI's competition.

If these live-stream platforms did not even understand this, it would be very difficult for them to remain so far.

Initially, if the broadcast rights were sold normally, it would be fine if these platforms made two preparations. Zhao Xuming would not care.

However, the plan had changed. Boss Pei's attitude was obviously "I want all of them".

Zhao Xuming's method of advancing the plan naturally had to change.

He first called Zhu Yan, the Vice-President of Wolf Fang live-stream.

"Hello, Boss Zhao. Do you have some idea about the broadcasting rights yet?" Zhu Yan's attitude was rather warm.

The two of them had worked together a long time ago. However, at that time, Zhao Xuming had been trying his best to promote the domestic broadcasting rights of the ICL league.

Now, Zhao Xuming's identity has changed. He had become the person-in-charge of GOG's local server. Zhu Yan had to establish a good relationship with him.

Zhu Yan might be very confused about Boss Zhao's promotion but it might not be a bad thing to continue dealing with Boss Zhao.

After all, they were more familiar with each other. It would be more reassuring to deal with Boss Zhao than with Boss Pei.

Wolf Fang Live-Stream was one of the two platforms that had been created after intense competition in the country. It also started out as a game business. Naturally, it was very eager for GOG's exclusive broadcast rights. It was also the most willing to pay a high price among the few platforms.

Wolf Fang's highest goal for live-streaming was to get an exclusive broadcast. However, this was a little difficult. After all, even though they were rich, it was difficult to offer a price that Tengda could not reject.

Thus, Zhu Yan felt that a more realistic situation was to achieve the lowest goal, which was to obtain the broadcasting rights.

However, how to spend less money on the broadcasting rights was the key.

Zhao Xuming smiled. "Boss Zhu, I've sent the new plan to you. This is a plan that Boss Pei has agreed to. If there's no problem on your side, we can do it according to this."

Zhu Yan perked up when he heard that Boss Pei had agreed to it.

Boss Pei nodded. This plan was probably not far from the mark and would not be changed.

"No problem, please hold on, Boss Zhao."

Zhu Yan immediately opened the plan on the computer in his hand and quickly scanned it.

Then, Zhu Yan's eyes widened in surprise.

Initially, Zhu Yan had high expectations for GOG's international invitational tournament broadcasting rights.

That was because it should be worth that much!

If it was an unknown small competition, the broadcasting rights would actually be very flexible and manageable. However, GOG's international invitational tournament was different.

It was not only because the international invitational tournament last year had been very successful, but also because the GPL league and GOG leagues around the world had accumulated a lot of popularity. These popularity would explode in GOG's international invitational tournament.

The popularity was completely expected.

If GOG's operator was not Tengda but another company, they would probably raise the price as much as possible until the live-stream platforms could afford it.

These live-stream platforms did not have a good solution yet. They could only sell everything they had.

However, the plan that he was seeing now made Zhu Yan's jaw drop. He was deeply surprised.

First, they agreed on an extremely low guaranteed amount of 10 million yuan.

This guaranteed amount would not be difficult for a small platform to squeeze out this money, let alone the wealthy Wolf Fang live-stream.

After all, the GPL's Spring Competition cost more than 12 million for broadcasting rights.

Of course, there was an additional requirement. Apart from keeping the bottom, they also had to calculate additional money based on the popularity of the live-stream. The more popular the live-stream was, the more money would be paid. There was a specific calculation formula.

However, popularity would fluctuate and change.

Zhu Yan estimated the amount to be about 35 million yuan based on the expected popularity.

On the other hand, Zhu Yan had expected the broadcasting rights to be between 30 million to 40 million yuan. The exclusive broadcasting rights would be over 100 million yuan.

What's more, his psychological expectations could fluctuate slightly.

There was even a more shameless choice: he would reduce the popularity, and the money he would give would decrease accordingly.

That was because the plan only showed the popularity of the live-stream to all viewers. There was no mention of the live-stream platform changing its popularity.

If it was not written clearly in the contract, it would leave room for debate.

Boss Zhao and Boss Pei would definitely not make such a low-level mistake. That would be hinting that this was not important.

Of course, he had to spend more money if he wanted to make it too popular because of his pride.

However, no matter what, the decision was in the hands of the live-stream platform. He could control if he wanted to spend more or less.

Not only that, the proposal also stipulated that they could use the platform's recommendation resources to convert the money.

For example, if he had originally calculated based on the popularity, he would have had to give 40 million yuan. How much was a homepage recommendation spot worth? After hanging it for a few days, the money would have been deducted from 40 million yuan.

Of course, the value of these recommendation spots was decided by Tengda. They were roughly calculated based on the popularity of various platforms. They would not be much different from the true value of these recommendation spots.

However, no matter what, Zhu Yan's platform's recommendation spots were not worth any money!

Of course, the recommendation spots would affect the overall recommendation resource arrangement. If they did not push it well, it would be equivalent to a loss.

However, no matter what, it was not as valuable as real money.

Zhu Yan read this plan several times. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he had profited greatly. It was a little difficult to understand.

Boss Pei had suddenly become a charitable person?

That was impossible. It did not fit Boss Pei's character.

Boss Zhao acted on his own?

That was even more impossible. Boss Zhao was not such a person. What's more, Boss Zhao had said from the beginning that Boss Pei had agreed to it.

Zhu Yan was a little surprised. "Boss Zhao, this plan is great!"

"I can't believe it!"

"Is there… Anything particular about this plan? Please let me know, Boss Zhao."

The plan was so generous that Zhu Yan was worried if there was a pit.

Zhao Xuming smiled. "There's no special meaning. On one hand, this plan allows everyone to freely grasp the popularity. The international invitational tournament is a very lively thing after all. Everyone can bask in the good luck. On the other hand, it is recommending resources. Boss Pei values it, especially when it comes to IOI…"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Xuming was obscure, but Zhu Yan quickly understood.

What did he mean by everyone should bask in the good luck?

In other words, he was using this method to sell GOG's broadcasting rights to a few platforms to gain more popularity.

Why mention IOI?

Obviously, he was saying that Boss Pei hoped that the recommendation resources obtained from various live-stream platforms would completely surpass IOI!

All in all, Boss Pei's intentions were very clear: I can take less money from the broadcasting rights, but the popularity of GOG's international invitational tournament had to be maximised, especially if it had to crush IOI's global finals!

What? You said it was crushing to begin with?

How to crush them would depend on everyone's performance.

Zhu Yan had a rough idea now.

Zhu Yan would feel very strange if Boss Pei did not have any requests and only lowered the price.

However, it was no longer strange now. That was because Boss Pei had given up a portion of his benefits for something. It was just that he wanted popularity. He wanted to completely crush IOI's global finals and give IOI a final blow!

That was easy.

Zhu Yan was really afraid of offending Boss Pei. After all, all live-stream platforms had to rely on Boss Pei's game. What's more, Boss Pei was a rather strange person. No one could guess his thoughts. Many times, they could not cooperate even if they wanted to.

It was best not to offend someone like that. The most important thing was to get along well with him.

Zhu Yan quickly made a decision.

Since GOG wanted recommendation spots, he had to give them to them!

In any case, IOI's broadcast rights had been finalized. They were bought at a price. There were no requirements for the recommendation spots.

Since these recommendation spots could be sold at a discount to GOG, they would have to give GOG more spots.

This was obviously the best option for live-streaming platforms.

They might not have bought the exclusive broadcasting rights, and other platforms could also buy the broadcasting rights at a cheap price, but to Wolf Fang live-stream, everything was negotiable as long as the price was low.

The price that Boss Pei had given them was enough to dispel most of their dissatisfaction. They even had to feel grateful.

As for whether IOI would have any objections…

First of all, the live-streaming platform and IOI's broadcasting rights did not have so many twists and turns. They were all clearly priced. They had already given him money. What could he do about the recommendation spots that he arranged?

Second, Long Yu Corporation's attitude towards IOI's local server was obviously not as positive as before. He heard that Long Yu Corporation was working with Tengda to develop games. It was hard to say if they would be angry about this.

From Tengda Corporation to various live-stream platforms and Long Yu Corporation, he probably would not react much to this matter.

The ones who reacted might be Finger Games and Dayak Corporation.

But so what? These live-stream platforms would not deal with them directly.

Thus, no one cared if IOI would have any opinions. Given the dual factors of popularity and money, giving GOG more recommendation spots for the international invitational tournament was inevitable.

Zhu Yan immediately said, "I understand, Boss Zhao. We will definitely maximize the recommendation resources!"

"I don't care about other platforms, but in Wolf Fang live-stream, I guarantee that the first thing the audience will see is GOG!"
