Chapter 547: The stars are shining

When Lin Feng announced the news of the "E-sports Champions League", the global e-sports players looked at mainland China. After all, the current "e-sports competitions" around the world adopt a knockout system. Players traveled thousands of miles to foreign countries to participate in the competition, which was really exhausted. Moreover, they were not lucky and were eliminated before they could overcome the jet lag and the unacceptable conditions, which made the contestants very embarrassed and frustrated. Moreover, the prize money was always unsatisfactory, and only a few people could get the prize money. Most other professional players had to rely on other jobs to support their "e-sports profession".

Even if you often reach the semi-finals and finals, the best of those professional players who can get stable bonuses cannot be completely satisfied. After all, e-sports is eliminated faster than any profession, the competition is too fierce, and experts are emerging one after another. You are the champion this month, and maybe next month when you participate in another event, you may be eliminated by an unknown player.

What's more, the income of professional players in "e-sports" is completely unsecured, and today or tomorrow. As for pension insurance, medical insurance, let alone medical insurance. Once you pass the best age of 16-25, when the reaction and agility begins to decline, these former top experts can only find other jobs. However, during the age of 16-25, it is the most important age for a person to grow up. At this time, all your time is spent training games and improving the level of game competition. At that time, you will naturally not be able to adapt to the strong competition of other social work. This is also the fundamental reason why the "e-sports league" is in full swing, but it is always suspected that it can last.

The "E-sports Champions League" held by "Second World" is a league with fixed matches to play every week and training in the club system. In addition to bonuses, all professional players of the club also have basic salaries. This makes all professional players of "e-sports" excited. If this "e-sports Champions League" really holds true, then there is no difference between them, professional players of the e-sports and those professional players.

After these points are shared, all professional players who are now competing in various countries every month and e-sports enthusiasts who are aspiring to become professional players are paying close attention to this "E-sports Development Summit" held by "Second World", to see how many clubs will respond to Lin Feng's call and set a high salary for each professional player in the third world country.

At the first time, some companies with good friends with Lin Feng stood up to respond.

Zong Qinghou, president of Wahaha Group, immediately rushed to Shanghai and told reporters that "e-sports is an emerging profession. Although I don't usually play it, I also know that "StarCraft" is very popular in South Korea. In South Korea, the market size is as large as 7 billion US dollars. More than 200 professional e-sports players are the core of the industry chain worth billions or even tens of billions of dollars. Relying on them alone, they have supported 1,496 game production companies, 46,882 Internet cafes and other entertainment venues, 10 game universities and research institutes, 6 cable TV and satellite radio professional game channels and other surrounding industrial groups. China is much larger than the Korean market, and I believe it will be more promising. Therefore, our Wahaha Group will definitely set up an e-sports club."

Li Zekai, president of "Yingke Telecom", also flew to Shanghai and told reporters that I was born in IT and was not unfamiliar with e-sports. I also love to play games such as "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike". Although my personal level is not very good, I have a good impression of e-sports. Seeing the rapid development of e-sports in South Korea, the West and other countries, I also hope to do my best to our e-sports career.

Subsequently, Shi Yuzhu, president of Giant Group, also expressed support for the "E-sports Champions League", Ma Huateng, president of Tencent Holdings, also expressed support, and Ding Lei, president of NetEase, also rushed to Shanghai, first to support the "E-sports Champions League", and second to want to discuss cooperation with Lin Feng.

With the high-profile statements of several companies such as "Wahaha" and "Yingke Telecommunications", more domestic companies have expressed their support. Regardless of whether the event can take shape in the end, at least there is no harm in participating. It is also good to advertise and show your face.

More than 100 senior executives of domestic and foreign companies gathered in Shanghai, and they were shining with stars. At the Shangri-La Hotel where everyone held this "E-sports Development Summit", you can see someone casually, and you may be the president or vice president of a famous domestic company. So many celebrities and powerful people gathered, which has also made this symposium that belongs to the game industry widely known and a large number of reporters gathered.

After a few days of squatting, many reporters came to a conclusion that if the companies participating in the meeting united this time, it would be enough to change the trend of China's economy and even change the pattern of the Asian financial industry. Unfortunately, the bosses of these companies are all coming for an emerging game industry.

In order to make this summit more grand, authoritative and fair, Lin Feng also sent an invitation letter to the top professional players in e-sports around the world, welcomeing them to discuss the future development of the e-sports industry.

As Lin Feng was willing to bear his air tickets and accommodation, top e-sports professional experts from various countries went to Shanghai one after another. This made many players who love e-sports feast their eyes.

"StarCraft" is mainly Korean players, and this time there are three top players. "nada", "yellowwww.piaotian.comada" (commonly known as "Big Dai" and real name Lee Yunlie), based on the principle of not speculation, not taking shortcuts, and winning by strength, in the "StarCraft" competition, his game exudes a sense of kingdom, not only winning, but also winning happily.

The popular prince of "Starcraft" is also the tragic prince "yellowwww.piaotian.coms, countless seas of insects. The most unforgettable battle in "Starcraft" is between him and "slayers_'boxer'". One sentence can describe the tragedy of "yellow". Since Yu was born, He Shengliang.

The legendary figure of "StarCraft" - "slayers_'boxer'" (real name Lin Yaohuan), a master figure of the T-Clan (Human race), changed the fate of the human race in "StarCraft", and at the same time made the "StarCraft" competition an art, and also made "StarCraft" have an extraordinary lifespan that is unmatched by other games. "One person changes one world", he deserves it.

"Counter-Strike" is mainly composed of Western players, and this time we were invited to several famous teams - "sk", "esu", and "gol".

The "sk" team, which just won the "cpl-summer" championship, became the best CS team in the world, and its record has remained stable. Before coming to Shanghai, it was the well-deserved world number one. Its team lineup is also extremely luxurious and is known as the "Real Madrid" in the world of e-sports.

The old-fashioned CCS team of "esu" was always the champion before "sk" emerged. Unfortunately, it has been stolen by "sk". However, its strength and players still make any CCS team dare not underestimate it.

"Gol" is also an old-fashioned CCS team, but unfortunately, the players are often poached by other teams for various reasons. Now they have fallen from the camp of top-level teams and become a first-class team.

Top players from "Age of Empires", "Live Football", "Fifa Football", "King of Fighters" and other games have flocked to Shanghai, making this "E-Sports Future Development Summit" even more star-studded.

After waiting for all the companies willing to form a club and these top professional experts to gather together, Lin Feng, as the organizer, held a meeting.

"Everyone, I believe everyone should be very clear about the profits and prospects of the e-sports industry. But how to make it a fixed e-sports event like football and basketball events requires our good operation. Therefore, everyone needs to sincerely contribute to this industry and jointly make this emerging e-sports industry go formal, scale and industrialized." Lin Feng said.

Everyone nodded.

Then everyone carefully discussed the competition method, competition scale, related investment, club profit sharing, professional players' salaries and bonuses in the "E-sports Champions League".

Since this time it is related to the vital interests of various clubs and professional e-sports players, the atmosphere at the symposium was extremely warm, and everyone held their own opinions and refused to give in easily. This lively scene made many companies that were originally just coming to see the mood and wanted to form a club. However, in the face of Lin Feng's first rigid rule that every club willing to join this "E-sports Champions League" must provide at least 30 million yuan in deposit.

Faced with this regulation, many companies with poor financial resources were really shocked. After the discussion failed, dozens of companies had no choice but to withdraw on the first day. Facing this result, Lin Feng felt sorry, but he didn't care. If he could not even get a deposit of 30 million, how to ensure the long-term development of this "e-sports champion league".

If these companies only devote themselves to this "E-sports Champions League" to form a club based on their temporary interest, if they are unable to see a huge profit return in a short period of time due to poor performance and withdrawals from capital turnover, this will definitely be a fatal blow to the "E-sports Champions League".

In Lin Feng's view, a margin of RMB 30 million is the minimum requirement. If it were not for the resistance of most companies to the margin this time, Lin Feng even wanted to set it to RMB 100 million. This will ensure the long-term development of the "E-sports Champions League".

The next day, because the outlook seemed not too optimistic, the benefits would not be seen in the short term, and the country did not express its opinion on it for the time being, and more than ten companies withdrew.

The successive withdrawal of companies has made all e-sports enthusiasts who are closely following this matter worry, fearing that this "e-sports champions league" plan will be stranded, which is really a tragedy for all e-sports players.

On the third day, several companies withdrew again. Many players who pay close attention to this matter every day became more and more worried. Fortunately, although more than half of the companies participating in the conference were withdrawn in three days, several companies such as "Wahaha Group" and "Yingke Telecommunications" did not withdraw, which made everyone feel a little relieved.

On the fourth day, no company finally quit. This made all e-sports players feel halfway.

On the fifth day, no company quits. This made all players completely relieved.

Seven days later, the "E-Sports Future Development Summit" that took seven days and after day and night discussions finally ended, but all company representatives and professional players participating in the meeting looked thoughtful.

Was the negotiation successful or failed? - All reporters came forward to interview, but they turned it off on the grounds that it was not convenient to accept the interview for the time being. This made many reporters even more itchy, wanting to know whether the matter was successful or not. And all e-sports players were also worried about watching it.

"There is no result yet. After three days of rest, we will continue to hold a meeting." Lin Feng finally revealed the truth when facing the reporter.

All players who love e-sports were worried.

At this time, Lin Feng’s villa in Shanghai.

"Brother Lin, how about this 'E-Sports Future Development Seminar'? Can the 'E-Sports Champions League' be held?" Li Zhiyou, who helped Lin Feng dress, asked with concern.

"The trouble is more than the troubles I imagine, and I hope to hold it into a long-term event and continue to prosper. Therefore, the initial investment must be huge, and the returns may not be seen immediately. This is also where some companies hesitate." Lin Feng sighed slightly.

There are only 23 companies left, but more than half of them hope that the initial investment will not be so huge. It is best to use a small amount of funds first, and if feasible, then add additional investment. This proposal is not bad, but unfortunately it is too conservative. Moreover, e-sports is an emerging industry in China, which is different from the strong support of the South Korean government. There is currently no strong support from the government in China. If you want to do a good job in this market, you will rely on the early investment of yourself and others.

In the long run, this is definitely an industry with very considerable profits. Unfortunately, many companies participating in the conference cannot see this. Fortunately, Lin Feng is pleased that several wealthy companies such as "Wahaha Group", "Yingke Telecommunications", and "Tencent Holdings" are on their side, otherwise this "symposium" might have ended long ago and everyone will disperse their things.

"Brother Lin, come on, I believe you will believe it." Li Zhiyou clenched his pink fists and cheered Lin Feng up.

Lin Feng smiled and pinched Lee Jiyou's cute cheek.

Three days later, the "E-sports Symposium" was held again. After another week of discussion, the results were finally obtained.
Chapter completed!
