In the evening, before the official broadcast started at eight o'clock, Sayye finally received an official reply email.
The content of the email is very short, only one sentence, but the amount of information is large.
[We do have plans to hold a competition, and relevant information will be announced in the near future.]
After receiving this news, Sayye was naturally very excited.
If the officials are willing to hold a game, it is certainly much more fun than players like them hosting a game on their own.
First of all, they are professionals, and there is no situation where they are both referees and players. Secondly, if the official has prepared bonuses, compared to using love to generate electricity, it would be great to be able to tease the official.
Feeling excited, Sayye sent the screenshot to his fan group.
"I asked the official! Yunmeng Games indeed has plans to hold a competition!"
Seeing this sentence, the fans who were still bragging in the group instantly went crazy.
"What the fuck? Really???"
"Yakami is awesome!!!"
"The official competition is okay, I don't know if it is online or offline."
"The human civil war is about to begin. (Funny)"
"Nonsense, what is a human civil war? It's obviously an online tower defense! (Dog Head)"
"I'm just curious about one thing right now. How much prize money is there in the official competition? Don't let the winner get a collector's edition game as a gift."
"It's impossible, that would be too disrespectful."
"The wool comes from the sheep, so I guess I can give you ten thousand or twenty thousand."
At this time, Say Ye's top brother Bian Hang suddenly got excited and said something in the fan group.
"Ten thousand or twenty thousand is not enough. If the official is reluctant to part with the money, I will use my own money to send a red envelope of 100,000 to the winner."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the group exploded instantly.
"Brother Hang is awesome!"
"Damn it, is the boss still missing a pendant on his leg? Can you look at me?"
"As expected of Brother Hang, I'm convinced!"
Because of Bian Hang's participation, the discussion in the group about the Warcraft tournament has become more and more intense.
For a while, we talked about the prize money and the rules of the competition, and for a while, we talked about the rules of the competition and which players might participate.
Since many people in Say Ye's fan group are also fans of other anchors, the screenshot of the reply email was soon forwarded to other groups and spread rapidly throughout the player circle.
Especially Bian Hang's words about giving a 100,000 red envelope to the champion were really shocking.
That’s 100,000!
For those big anchors, this money may not be much, but for most people, they may not be able to earn this amount after working for a year!
At first, those two screenshots were only circulated in the player group, and then they were too lazy to post the screenshots, and it started to become the dictation of the group friends.
The news spread like this, but eventually it went astray. It started with a rich man threatening to send a red envelope of 100,000 yuan to the champion, and then it turned into Yunmeng Games planning to send 100,000 yuan to the champion. Yuan bonus.
Later, the public may feel that for a large enterprise like Yunmeng Group with a valuation of tens of billions and a net worth of more than one billion, a bonus of 100,000 yuan is too unappealing, and is not even as good as the year-end bonus of ordinary employees. .
As a result, the rumored number doubled several times, and finally a zero was added to make it 1 million.
1 million is an astronomical number for ordinary people, but for Yunmeng Games, which has deep pockets, this number is quite reasonable.
Later, this rumor was quickly noticed by the self-media in the gaming circle, and it was then written into a report with added details.
[... Recently, a big news happened in the gaming circle. Yunmeng Games responded to players in an official email saying that it plans to hold a Warcraft competition in the near future. According to people familiar with the matter, the competition bonus is as high as 1 million yuan, setting a record for the amount of competition bonus in the history of video games.]
[The competition is still in the preparatory stage. For more specific details, this platform will continue to pay attention and continue to report for you!]
After the report was released, not only the RTS circle, but also the entire gaming industry was shocked.
Originally, everyone was still skeptical about the rumors. After all, no one had ever set such a high bonus for a game competition.
A copy of the game only costs just over 100, and it’s not even 100 when it’s on sale.
If there was such a high bonus, how many copies of the game would have to be sold to recoup the capital
Not to mention other expenses for hosting the competition, the total cost is at least two to three million.
After all, Yunmeng Games is just a business, not a charity.
Once you calculate this account clearly, it is not difficult to find out how unrealistic this 1 million bonus is.
But things are different now.
As soon as the self-media came out, it completely muddied the waters.
Now, regardless of whether they play RTS games or not, almost all players know about the 1 million yuan bonus.
Players who have not yet downloaded the game have stuffed Warcraft into their shopping carts, while players who have already downloaded the game have been practicing their skills day and night.
You can’t do anything else, but playing games isn’t it enough if you have the skills
Just like that, Yunmeng Game's mailbox exploded again, and this time the number of unread emails also increased by 0.
And it wasn't just the players who were interested. The media who heard the news also swarmed over and called Yunmeng Group, hoping to get an interview opportunity.
Faced with this situation, the employees in the marketing department were completely confused.
They were in the company. Not to mention that they had never heard of the bonuses, they had never heard of the competition at all.
Not daring to reply to the message casually, the head of the marketing department quickly found Li Zongzheng and reported the situation.
However, Li Zongzheng was also confused. It was indeed Mr. Hao's intention to organize this competition, but he had never heard of a 1 million bonus!
The news has spread, and even if Yunmeng Games clarifies that it is a rumor, players may not buy it.
Maybe someone will take the lead and think that Yunmeng Games is a deadbeat and uses fake news to do malicious marketing.
Li Zongzheng is now undecided whether to treat it coldly without responding or to directly contact the media to refute the rumors.
It is foreseeable that if the rumors are clarified, even if they are telling the truth, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the sales of Warcraft.
It’s hard to say how many of the players who came in to buy games in the past two days came for the 1 million bonus.
After some hesitation, Li Zongzheng finally found Hao Yun, hoping to hear Mr. Hao's opinion.
However, what he didn't expect was that after Mr. Hao, who was sitting at his desk, listened to what he said, instead of being anxious at all, he calmly shook his head.
"The layout is too small!"
Li Zongzheng was stunned for a moment and looked at him confused.
"Old, boss?"
Why is this thing so small
What on earth is Mr. Hao talking about
"Our goal is to create a world-class event, how can a prize of 1 million be enough?" Hao Yun stretched out a hand and shook his five fingers, "If you ask me, our prize should be at least 5 million!"
Li Zongzheng: "???"
five million? !
Is Mr. Hao crazy
Zhou Ruining, who was walking over with coffee, had a confused look on her face and almost spilled the coffee in her hand.
Five million bonus!
Is it too late to change careers? ?
