761 Boss Pei’s Plan To Send Us Out Of Business!

Lin Chang's words gave Pei Qian the feeling of a rich Saudi Arabian whale coming to a local counter to buy Shenhua's cell phone.

How could it be so cheap and worth it? He could buy ten of them!

Perhaps it was because Shenhua also had a football club that they subconsciously felt that top players were worth tens of millions of yuan. Any one of them would probably be worth a few million yuan, right?

In the end, after creating the E-Sports Club, he realized that the top E-Sports players were not even as expensive as ordinary football players. On the other hand, those not so famous internet addicts only cost them about 10,000 yuan a month to be in the green training camp?

It was just one more person to feed, he would add make a profit as long as one out of ten of them could become successful.

Shenhua, who had this mentality, immediately went into a crazy buying mode. Even IOI and Gods Rising's players were asked if they were interested in changing classes, let alone GOG's top scorers.

Many people had been poached.

Many professional players had passion for the games that they loved but passion could not be treated as food.

GOG was currently very popular in the country. The GPL league was about to start soon and the heat was readily available.

As the saying went, men were afraid of entering the wrong line of work. If an esports player chose the wrong game, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Shenhua was very famous in the football industry, and would definitely do well in e-sports.

Of course, not everyone was willing to change their game. Shenhua tested them, not taking all of them indiscriminately

That was why the IOI teams had not been emptied out. There were still three or four people left out of the five. However, most of the IOI teams had been washed out. It was just a matter of whether or not they had been dismantled.

Moreover, Shenhua was not the only one trying to poach people. Many other clubs also developed a strong sense of crisis when they saw Shenhua playing like that.

They could not stand by and do nothing even if Shenhua were to spend ten times as much money as they did, right?

What's left for us if the entire capsule machine was given to you?

Thus, the other club owners also followed Shenhua in poaching people. They decided to buy as many good seedlings as possible with the mindset that there was no time to waste.

GOG's professional tournament had only just started after all. There was a huge gap between the professional players, the rookies would still have a chance to catch up once the league became official.

Therefore, under Shenhua's lead, these clubs were not to be outdone. They swept across the entire domestic e-sports circle like a wave.

…

In the training base of the SHG Club, Pei Qian sipped his tea as he listened to Lin Chang talk about his' generous' and 'wise' decisions during the time he had been operating the SHG Club.

Shenhua Real Estate had funded the construction of SHG but Lin Zhou had not paid much attention to it. His main focus was still on football.

On the other hand, Lin Chang was very active. He volunteered to be the boss of the SHG Club and even personally looked for managers and team leaders.

Obviously, Lin Chang was very satisfied with this round of operations and was very optimistic about the future of the SHG Club.

"Recently, I've been playing GOG and watching GOG's competition on the plane. I suddenly feel that this game is quite interesting!"

"I always thought that it was just a game. What's so good about it? Is it better than football?"

"However, after playing it, I realized that it was really interesting. The current popularity is far less than that of ball games but this kind of esports model has a quality that ball games do not possess in terms of viewing!"

"Sigh, Boss Pei, which hero do you like the most? I like the Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan and Modest…"

"This game is really fun. Boss Pei, how did you design it?"

Lin Changyue became more excited.

In fact, at the beginning, he was only here to support the game. He did not think that E-Sports would be able to make much of a name for itself. He was just here to play around.

In the end, it was only after getting to know more about the game that he realized that an alternative sports competition like E-Sports was indeed exciting and interesting!

That was why Lin Chang was vested. He went around buying things, showing off how much money a person had.

"So, Boss Pei, GOG's competition is the best in the eSports world now, right?" Lin Chang asked.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Boss Lin, that's hard to say. Finger Games is also preparing for IOI's international finals. They are not short of money or manpower and they've been preparing for so long. They might not lose to GOG's international invitational tournament."

"GOG is now domineering in the country but it is still lacking compared to IOI in the world."

Lin Chang nodded with realization. "I see."

He looked at Pei Qian and said, "Boss Pei, do you need any help to promote GOG overseas? We can help promote it through advertisements or insert into some for movies since we have been overseas for sometime…"

Pei Qian quickly said, "No need!"

Lin Chang was stunned. He did not expect Boss Pei to reject him so decisively. "You really don't need it? It's alright. It's nothing. It's not troublesome at all."

Pei Qian immediately shook his head. "There's really no need! I have other plans for GOG's overseas market. Don't act rashly. It might affect my entire plan."

Lin Chang nodded. "Alright, I won't interfere then. Boss Pei, if GOG faces any difficulties in promoting overseas, you can look for me anytime. I won't hesitate to help!"

Pei Qian was speechless.

What the f*ck do you mean by you wouldn't hesitate to help!

I haven't settled the score with you for the matter with Tomorrow is Beautiful!

The biggest difficulty that GOG faced in promoting overseas was that it was being promoted too quickly… Could you help to lessen GOG's market share?

You can't? Then no thanks.

Zhang Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Boss Lin, the GDL slots have been arranged. Training competition with DGE's club has also been arranged. However… there are too many players now even with two teams."

Lin Chang: "What would happen if you buy too many players?"

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment. "Nothing much, just a waste of salary."

Lin Chang laughed. "That doesn't matter. I have a lot of budget anyway. I'll just buy them and raise them. What's more, I saw a few players who could not hold on in the IOI Club. I'm doing a good deal if I poach them to play GOG, right?"

…

At night, Long Yu Corporation's conference room was brightly lit.

Members of the IOI Operations Coordination Department of Long Yu Corporation gathered in the hall, and everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.

That weekend, Zhao Xuming personally visited most of the clubs in Shanghai tirelessly to inform them about IOI's global finals personally to express his sincerity.

However, almost all of the IOI branches had been torn down unexpectedly. While most teams only lacked one or two people but they were not complete!

Zhao Xuming asked carefully and realized that he was only three or four days late. If they had come earlier, these people would have been saved.

Now that they had signed a contract with other clubs, they would have to pay the transfer fee if they bought the players back…

The more Zhao Xuming thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed the conference table.

"This Boss Pei is ruthless! Ruthless!"

"This move is practically a plan to send us out of business!"

"Send someone to dismantle all the IOI professional gaming teams. It would be ridiculous if not a single team was left! It's ridiculous!"

"Are you trying to embarrass our domestic IOI team in the international competition?"

"Despicable, shameless!"

The others kept quiet out of fear and did not dare to respond.

After throwing a tantrum, Zhao Xuming gradually calmed down.

He was someone who had been through a lot and could adjust his emotions well after all.

He held his breath and tried to adjust his emotions.

"Forget it, this is a commercial method, I was too emotional."

"Boss Pei, you've done a good job. You're taking drastic measures to deal with the problem. You spent such a small sum of money to create such a huge problem for us."

"The timing is just right. This means that not only is Boss Pei very well-informed and decisive, but he also likes to mess with his opponents…"

"He is indeed a difficult opponent!"

"So, have you gathered the situation of the various clubs?" Zhao Xuming looked at his subordinate.

The subordinate quickly nodded and handed him a document. "Boss Zhao, all of the IOI teams are here now, including the missing positions."

Zhao Xuming took it and glanced at it reluctantly.

All of the IOI teams were listed on the form. The positions that were missing were highlighted in red. His eyes flashed as if it was playing minesweeping which had already exploded.

After some consideration, Zhao Xuming said, "How about this? Gather the established clubs that still have IOI branches and organize a meeting. Gather three of the strongest teams and participate in the world finals."

"As for the specifics, let the bosses negotiate themselves. We'll coordinate them."

"Then, tell them to train quickly!"

The so-called "negotiate themselves" was nothing more than the bosses who had the right to participate in the finals, paying the other players to strengthen themselves.

There were not many IOI players in the country to begin with. These players were the best of the best.

Zhao Xuming continued, "Alright, let's leave it at that. We've given them the quota. It's up to them to decide how much they can fight."

"We have to make the best use of our time and prepare to cooperate with Finger Games to build momentum for the global finals. We also have to start negotiating with various live-stream platforms…"

Zhao Xuming began assigning tasks one by one.

Long Yu Corporation was a veteran domestic game operator after all. There was no doubt about his ability to work in this area. All sorts of publicity work was quickly arranged.

Zhao Xuming still felt uneasy even though he had considered all aspects.

Boss Pei had always thought of every possibility and won every time ever since IOI and GOG started to compete head-on every time.

In that case, would Long Yu Corporation and Dayak Corporation be able to win against GOG, which had already occupied the domestic market?

Zhao Xuming was not confident either. He had a feeling that the key to this competition was the global finals. As long as it was done well, IOI's local server would have a chance to turn the tables.

Therefore, he could not afford to make any mistake!
