"Twenty-three, sticky melons; twenty-four, clean the house; twenty-five, make tofu; twenty-six, cut the meat; twenty-seven, slaughter the chicken; twenty-eight, white flour and hair; twenty-nine, full
Fragrance fight; on the 30th, sit all night in the dark; on the first day of the new year, come out and twist."
In Luoyuan, in front of the small single-family building where Yu Dong and the others lived, Chen Yuqing hugged Yu Yi and basked in the sun, teasing her and singing nursery rhymes to her in Jinling dialect.
Three-month-old Yu Yi was lying in her grandma's arms, only giggling.
After a while, she suddenly stopped smiling, her smiling face became very serious, and her eyes stared blankly at her grandma.
"She needs to pee," her grandmother yelled, "or poop."
Chen Yuqing is quite familiar with this expression of her granddaughter. Whenever she needs to pee or poop, she will make a serious expression, as if she is taking something very seriously.
Yu Hua joked before, "She looks just like her dad when he writes books."
If Yu Hua hadn't been exercising very diligently recently and had good legs and feet, he would have almost been hit by the sample book of the essay collection "Death in the Heart" thrown by Yu Dong.
Because of the presence of diapers, Yu Yi's performance did not cause anyone to panic.
Chen Yuqing took a look at the diaper and breathed out immediately. There was no poop, which meant that there was no need to change the diaper for the time being.
Cheng Liye looked at Yu Yi and said to Dong with a smile: "You will be busy starting tomorrow, right?"
Tomorrow is the first day of the World Electronic Game Competition. The entire competition only lasts two days, and the week-long Deep Space Annual Conference will be seamlessly connected after two days.
"There is nothing for me to do, but I will definitely go to the scene tomorrow." Yu Dong said with a smile.
"Well, the competition you organized this time is quite famous. I heard my colleagues talking about it in the office. Of course, what they discussed had nothing to do with the game itself. What they focused on was the generous prize money.
."
"I also heard that the prize money in this competition is very generous." Chen Yuqing said.
Yu Dong smiled. It is normal for outsiders to pay attention to the bonus.
In fact, the prize money of this World Electronic Game Competition is indeed high, and it is difficult not to attract people's attention.
The winning team or individual can receive a bonus of US$30,000. Such a generous bonus is attractive enough even in Europe and the United States. Not to mention, in addition to the bonus, there are also various equipment as prizes.
"Are you planning to hold this competition every year in the future?" Cheng Liye asked.
Yu Dong nodded: "If the response this time is good, then it will be held every year in the future."
"Along with the Deep Space Annual Conference every year?" Cheng Liye asked again.
"That's not the case. What we think is that in the future, this competition will be like the Olympic Games. All places will apply to host it, and it will be held wherever the conditions are good."
Cheng Liye nodded in agreement, "I also want to say this. Since it is a world competition, it is natural to hold it in other countries. Anyway, the initiative is in your hands. Isn't it just a matter of one sentence to entrust it to who to do it?
?”
In fact, the Deep Space Company is already doing what Cheng Liye said.
The first World Electronic Game Competition currently being held is held in the name of Deep Space Corporation, but the next one will be different. Jimmy has established a WCG association and a WCG marketing company.
Starting from the next session, wcg will be hosted by wcg marketing company, and everything will be handled by this company, such as selecting the venue, recruiting sponsors, and organizing the competition process.
What Yu Dong and Jimmy planned was to make this competition look more like a world competition as much as possible, rather than Deep Space Company's own competition.
In other words, what they want is a worldwide competition controlled by Deep Space Corporation.
The first competition was relatively hasty, and all teams were directly invited from various countries. However, starting from the next year, WCG will divide competition areas, with fixed quotas in each competition area, and then all registered teams in the competition area will compete for several fixed quotas.
Quota.
In this way, the preparation time for the next competition will be much longer.
If there are enough registered teams, the early auditions are very time-consuming. Some relatively large competition areas are divided into small competition areas, such as city divisions, Jinling District, Shanghai District, Yanjing District... From
This time teams from the city will compete for the regional quota.
Everything has just begun, everything is in the initial stage, not only in China, but also in e-sports all over the world.
Many of the individuals and teams who came to participate in the competition this time are wild players and have no concept of professional players at all. Some of them do not even have their own competition uniforms.
Participants need to dress uniformly and have a fixed logo printed on them. If the participating individuals or teams do not have their own clothing, they can apply to Deep Space Company, which will issue clothing with the World Electronic Gaming Competition logo printed on it.
There is only one professional team in China - the A.G team founded in October. This team was formed by four or five young people, but it has always been a small team and has not achieved success.
After Deep Space Corporation announced that it would host the World Electronic Game Competition, this team came into public view because they are the Chinese team most likely to be invited to participate in the World Electronic Game Competition.
After several rounds of competition, Yunchi Sports finally became the new owner of A.G., and the club’s name became Yunchi A.G.
After acquiring the team, Yunchi Company designed a set of uniforms for the team members from top to bottom, directly turning A.G into a regular army - at least that's what it looked like on the outside.
It is worth mentioning that the decision to acquire the team was not made by Yu Dong or Jimmy, but by Hu Hao, who had just become the CEO of Yunchi.
In the past year or so, Hu Hao has been integrating Yunchi Sports. Now that the initial integration is completed, he has naturally become the company's CEO.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As a CEO, Hu Hao has much less experience, but Hu Hao is a kid with a flexible mind and the courage to venture and do things. These characteristics of his are exactly what Yunchi, a new enterprise, has
required.
Besides, although he had been Yu Dong's assistant in the past few years, he had been exposed to the company's business from top to bottom.
The acquisition of the AG team was the first serious decision Hu Hao made after taking office... Although the acquisition of this club only cost Yunchi less than 200,000 yuan, it was definitely not a small decision, because the real investment still came later.
.
Since they bought the club, they naturally want to develop it well. In Hu Hao's plan, the next step is for Yunchi AG Club to establish at least four teams to cope with "Quake", "StarCraft", "Escape" and
"FIFA" four competition events.
For Yunchi, it doesn't actually matter whether the club itself is profitable or not. Their original intention of purchasing the team is to promote their brand.
When Yu Dong learned that Yunchi purchased the AG team, he was quite surprised. He did not expect that Hu Hao would actually set his sights on the e-sports club.
I have to say that it is indeed a good choice for Yunchi Sports to find another way to take the e-sports path.
Looking around the world, there are only a few established e-sports clubs, and even fewer clubs with a mature system. These clubs may have their own team uniforms, but they are basically ordinary T-shirts or popular jackets.
At this time, Yunchi can easily come up with some new tricks on the e-sports combat uniform.
…
Yu Dong saw the Yunchi AG team uniform that night. The night before the game, all contestants had to attend a pre-game reading meeting, and the person in charge of the competition committee read out the rules and regulations of the game and the precautions.
The other players were all wearing ordinary clothes. Only Yunchi AG was wearing their new season uniforms, which could be seen in the crowd at a glance.
The team logo of Yunchi AG is black and white, so their team uniform this season is also black and white, with a white T-shirt underneath, made of sweat-absorbent material, a bit like a football jersey, but more casual, and the jacket is black
A slim-fitting jacket with the club’s logo printed on it, the overall look is very cool.
The charm of this outfit is that while it fits well with video games, it can also be used as daily wear.
Seeing Yunchi AG's team uniforms, other contestants were surprised and envious. They actually had team uniforms, but compared with Yunchi AG's team uniforms, they were far behind.
"Do you know that team?" Li Minche, the captain of the Raptors team, poked his teammate's arm.
His teammate Li Chengcan shook his head distractedly, "I don't know, but I guess they are a Chinese team."
"Of course. What I'm curious about is where their clothes came from. Maybe we can get one too."
Li Chengcan pouted, "This outfit doesn't look cheap at first sight. Does our club have so much money now? Or has KT decided to sponsor us?"
Their team has been seeking sponsorship from KT in recent months. KT is actually interested in this aspect, but the competition is too urgent and they haven't reached an agreement yet.
If they had come to an agreement earlier, they would no longer be called Raptors, but KTRaptors.
Without the funds provided by KT, with the current financial strength of their club, it is still a bit difficult to get a set of combat uniforms of their own. The clothes of the Chinese team look like they are specially customized.
Jin Shibin on the other side looked in the direction of Yunchi AG and said with envy, "This is what e-sports combat uniforms should look like in my mind. Our own team uniforms are not good-looking at all, not even as good as the ones issued by Deep Space Company.
"
"Captain, maybe after the meeting is over, you should ask them which brand these clothes are customized from. After KT's sponsorship is negotiated, we can also go to that brand to make a set for us." Li Chengcan suggested.
road.
Li Minche raised his eyebrows. He thought Li Chengcan's suggestion was a good one. The clothes of that team were really good-looking. He just stared at them carefully to see what brand the clothes were from, but he couldn't find a familiar logo.
There was only a strange three-headed harpoon on the chest - maybe it wasn't a harpoon, because it was far away, so he couldn't be sure.
Ma Tianyuan sat in his seat with his back straight and his eyes staring at the person in charge of the organizing committee who was speaking on the stage, but he could feel the gazes from around him.
He knew that these looks were all because of the clothes he and his teammates were wearing.
Since being acquired by Yunchi, their club has changed from shotgun to shotgun.
The first is the expansion of personnel. When their club first started, there were only four people in total, and only two of them were players. One was CHJ who played Q3, and the other was Ma Tianyuan who played StarCraft.
At that time, Ma Tianyuan and others believed that their model was already a relatively advanced and avant-garde professionalization of e-sports.
But after becoming Yunchi AG, their number of players suddenly increased several times, and their equipment became the best and most advanced. Even the clothes were specially designed for them by Yunchi Company.
When they got this set of clothes, no one on the team was dissatisfied. Both the style and the material were beyond Ma Tianyuan's expectations.
Although Ma Tianyuan has always believed that things other than technology are not important, the moment he put on this suit and walked into the auditorium today, he had to admit that putting on such an e-sports combat uniform was psychologically stressful from the beginning.
If they have an advantage, they will have the idea that they are the regular army and everyone else is a miscellaneous army.
When the meeting ended, Ma Tianyuan led the team members out, but was suddenly stopped by someone.
There were two teams standing in front of him, one was Korea's Raptors team, and the other was Canada's EG team.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Minche gestured with his hands and spoke a lot of Korean dialect. Although Ma Tianyuan did not understand it, he understood what Li Minche meant.
But he didn't know how to answer. He could only point to the three swords on his chest and said, "Yunchi."
"How much?" Wundt from the EG team asked.
Wundt spoke in English. Team leader Hu Hai spoke good English and said with a smile: "This is a Chinese sports brand, Yunchi, which is also our parent company. This set of clothes is specially designed and is not yet on the market. If you have
If you are interested, I can help you contact the person in charge of the company."
Hu Hai was in business before, so he is very good at sales.
But this matter is not that simple. Although these teams are not particularly formal now, they are still a team, so the issue of brand sponsorship will definitely be taken into consideration when choosing team uniforms.
It doesn't mean that these team members can wear it if they want to.
…
Yu Dong looked at the Yunchi AG members who were surrounded by other team members from a distance, smiled and said to Hu Hao next to him, "This suit is well designed, and it is good to wear on a daily basis."
Hu Hao was very happy to be praised by Yu Dong, "I was originally going to buy them a set of down jackets, but after thinking about it, I gave up. This one is pretty good. After this competition is over, this set of clothes will be
It happens to be all spring clothes when they come on the market. It's just a pity that this game can't be broadcast in China."
Jimmy previously proposed to cooperate with domestic TV stations to create a video game program that could broadcast WCG, but this proposal was rejected by Yu Dong.
Hosting WCG actually feels like it's wandering on the fringes. If we cooperate with a TV station to advertise a video game show, it will definitely attract attention and maybe get in trouble.
This time WCG was broadcast on television in several countries, but due to cost considerations, there was no live broadcast. Players who were not present could only follow the graphic and text broadcasts released on major deep space websites and clients to experience the game.
"Although it won't be broadcast on TV, you can ask the newspapers to publish more photos of the team members... If your team can get the ranking this time, the publicity intensity will increase immediately. Besides, Yunchi's current clothes are very important to the Chinese people.
It’s still a bit expensive, so if you can afford to sell it abroad, you’d better sell it abroad.”
"We need to open up foreign markets, and we must not lose the domestic market. Our company's monthly deficit is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm anxious too."
"You call that a deficit?" Yu Dong smiled and patted Hu Hao's shoulder: "When you have nothing to do, go and talk to your Brother Jiang. After talking to him, you will know that your deficit is not considered a deficit.
What."
Hu Hao curled his lips, "Yunchi can't compete with them."
When it comes to deficits, among the companies under the Deep Space banner, Deep Space Computer, run by Jiang Jie, is definitely unmatched. Their company is the most cash-burning, and it has been burning money faster and faster in the past two years.
Yunchi is burning tens of millions of dollars, but Deep Space Computer is burning hundreds of millions, and there is no end in sight.
This year, Deep Space Company established a data center R&D team to specialize in data center technology. This thing burns money at an outrageous rate, and it would be impossible for an ordinary company to support it.
Of course, if you come to another company, you will definitely not focus on data center technology at this time. Now the data centers of domestic IT companies rely on the operator rack rental model, because this is enough for them.
