The heads of these clubs all seem to be wrong.
The first ones who said they were coming to Jingzhou were some small clubs with little money.
They originally thought that the money prepared for this time was not enough, and it was difficult to buy core players. At most, they could buy an assistant in the commanding position, but they never expected that President Pei would still give them a core player to make up for them. The most needed short board position!
Moreover, President Pei did not ask for a high price, but directly gave all clubs a similar uniform price.
Of the transfer fee of 3 million, 2.2 million was returned to the club to improve the training environment.
For these relatively poor clubs, President Pei is obviously giving them extra favors and care!
Thank you very much, no return.
The Tengda Group on Mr. Pei's side has a great business and is not short of money. How can these clubs repay
You can only move to Jingzhou and support it with your own actions!
Moreover, after the h4 club moved to Jingzhou, it seems to be getting better and better, which also makes people wonder if there is any magic in Jingzhou.
The 2.2 million returned by President Pei will be spent, and Jingzhou has relevant supporting facilities, which is the most suitable.
What's more, in Jingzhou, it is closer to Tengda, and the dge club is a club owned by Tengda. Manager Zhang is the confidant of President Pei. If Tengda has any policy changes or gameplay adjustments, the clubs resident in Jingzhou will definitely be faster. got the news.
The clubs get together in Jingzhou, and they can play offline training matches more conveniently. The effect of offline matches is better than online matches.
After comprehensive consideration, these small clubs immediately felt that moving to Jingzhou was a very good choice.
The small clubs have all expressed their stance, and these big clubs have also hesitated.
If several small clubs have moved, will there be any problems if we don't move
Will it fall behind in scrims and version news
Will it not be recognized by President Pei and the official attention
At present, the development of e-sports is still in its infancy, and it is still too far away from the idea of "one club in each city". For these clubs, the best option is to go to a resource-rich place to get together.
After forming a cluster effect, all clubs can benefit from it.
Therefore, these clubs quickly reached an agreement and decided to move to Jingzhou!
Pei Qian, on the other hand, looked blank and said in distress.
what does it mean!
The h4 club came to Jingzhou, it was fooled by Huang Wang, what happened to you
The contract has not been signed yet, so they are rushing to run to Jingzhou one by one
are you crazy!
Pei Qian said helplessly: "It doesn't matter, in fact, I think the magic capital is pretty good, it's the same everywhere, it doesn't have to be moved to Jingzhou."
The club managers were very moved and then expressed their determination.
"Don't worry, President Pei, this is our own choice!"
"Yes, we have thought about it, and now no one wants to drive us away from Jingzhou!"
"Mr. Pei, we will handle the move ourselves, and we will never cause you any trouble!"
Pei Qian: "..."
Yes, it reinforces the misunderstanding of these people, and they are all excited.
Pei Qian looked at the resolute expressions of the club managers and knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only sigh silently.
All right, come if you want.
Jingzhou is so big, can I add a cover
Pei Qian had nothing to do, and said to Zhang Yuan, "Come on about signing the contract, I have left beforehand."
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Mr. Pei, don't worry, I will arrange it!"
…
night.
Zhang Yuan has signed contracts with other clubs one after another. According to President Pei's request, he has also arranged a home for the remaining nine players.
But this time, the nine team members did not have to leave Jingzhou.
The two big clubs also called the boss. After a detailed discussion, the boss was also impressed by President Pei's sincerity. In the end, the seven clubs unanimously decided to move the gog branch to Jingzhou!
Therefore, the nine old players of the dge club just need to stay here and wait for the clubs to move and then come to lead them.
After learning that everyone was going their separate ways, Jiang Huan and others were a little sentimental.
However, after Zhang Yuan enlightened everyone, this sentimental mood was quickly diluted by excitement.
Finally able to play the World Invitational!
Before Huang Wang was bought by the h4 club, he could go to the World Invitational Tournament. These players were somewhat envious.
As a professional player, who doesn't want to stand on the highest arena to prove himself
Therefore, although everyone is very reluctant to part with the dge club, they also look forward to being able to stand on the stage of the world finals like Huang Wang.
And the current result is already the best result.
The team members have all found their homes, and they are all to make up for their shortcomings, so they can sit firmly in the main force. At the same time, the clubs have all moved to Jingzhou, and it is very convenient for people who want to meet often or go back to the dge club in the future. Everyone's living habits and training habits can also be maintained.
Best of both worlds!
After Zhang Yuan comforted the team members, he was also a little complicated.
I just finished training for one position, but I didn't expect to try out the other nine positions soon.
After this "clearance sale", the ten members of the dge club are equivalent to changing all over again. I am afraid that their strength will be broken for a long time.
In fact, the best way is to sell a part and keep a part, let the old players lead the new players, and then sell the old players when the new players grow up.
But President Pei's attitude is very firm, and he must sell them all.
Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while, and this really makes sense.
Let the old players stay and bring new players, who? All the old players are heartfelt, who do you not let to play in the World Invitational
Neither seems appropriate.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan is also very serious, and for the future of the players, let everyone transfer.
As for the problem of talent disconnection... Let's take a step by step.
Zhang Yuan came to the outside of the villa, intending to relax with a cigarette.
However, as soon as he put the cigarette on, he saw the leader of the h4 club, Su, rushing over in a hurry.
"Mr. Zhang, is it convenient? Take a step to talk?" Leader Su's expression was a little anxious.
Zhang Yuan could probably guess what he was going to say, put away the cigarette and nodded: "Okay."
The two came to the small garden of the villa.
Team Leader Su was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he said, "Manager Zhang, other clubs have formed a group to buy people? What is the result of buying people?"
Obviously, these clubs come to buy people, and the h4 club is the most panicked.
After they smashed the pot and sold iron to buy Huang Wang, they were originally strong contenders for the championship.
But what if other clubs bought two, three or more dge members at once
Isn't that the end of the calf
So, in a sense, the result of the gog International Invitational depends on the results of the purchases made by various clubs this time.
After this buy-in, there will be huge changes in the paper strength of all clubs, which may even make the training period before the game meaningless.
Zhang Yuan smiled: "Leader Su, don't worry."
He briefly introduced Mr. Pei's arrangement to Team Leader Su. In a nutshell: everyone buys players for the same transfer fee, and the price fluctuates but the difference is not big. There is no situation where a team can crush other teams after buying people.
Team Leader Su was surprised and grateful.
The surprise is that each club's paper strength after buying people is similar, and the h4 club has a solid foundation after all, and it has taken a while to break in, and it is still a strong contender for the world championship.
The grateful thing is that President Pei did not package and sell the strong team members because of the high price offered by the other party!
Team Leader Su knew from the gossip that Sug had prepared at least 20 million to buy people this time. If they didn't say anything else, if they bought Jiang Huan at a big price, they would use the remaining money to grab two less expensive ones. Players, what else are you doing in the h4 club
And Mr. Pei sold all the players at the average price. It is hard to say whether there are other considerations, but part of the reason must be to safeguard the interests of the h4 club!
Team Leader Su felt that the h4 club was the first to buy from the dge club after all, and it was a regular customer. Although Mr. Pei sold the players according to the method of the highest price, there is no blame, but this way of taking care of the interests of the h4 club is still very moving.
"Thank you Manager Zhang, thank you President Pei! We must keep this kindness in our hearts!" Leader Su was overjoyed. The result of this transfer was also the least bad result for their club.
Zhang Yuan smiled: "Leader Su, don't be polite. You may think that Mr. Pei did this because of your interests, but it is not. I think that Mr. Pei is considering the entire ecology and the entire environment!"
Leader Su was stunned for a moment: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and said seriously: "I think that President Pei is doing this to regulate the e-sports ecology of gog. At least three aspects can be considered!"
"First of all, the Global Invitational Tournament is coming soon. The result of this sale will directly determine whether there is any suspense in the Global Invitational Tournament."
"Mr. Pei's main purpose of hosting the Global Invitational Tournament is definitely to present a series of interesting events to the world. If the gap between the strengths of each team is too great and the competition becomes a dishonest event, it will be boring!"
"It is guaranteed that there will be back and forth and full of suspense, so as to stimulate the discussion of players to the greatest extent and have the effect of promoting the game of gog."
"Secondly, to prevent the Matthew effect between clubs."
"In the e-sports industry, money is not everything, but without money it is absolutely impossible. You can't build a dynasty just by burning money and poaching people, but without money, everything will stop."
"However, whether there is money or not is actually a relative concept."
"If you have money, you can poach and buy people at will. By poaching people, you can concentrate all the outstanding players under your own club, and those small clubs that have no money will fall into a vicious circle of no money, no attention, and no results! "
"Once caught in the Matthew effect of 'the strong keep getting stronger', the big clubs are of course happy, because they can monopolize the resources and attention of the entire league, but the small clubs are gradually unsustainable, and the gap between the whole league is getting bigger and bigger. , it will gradually collapse, or there will be a situation of 'horror in the nest', domestic coercion and abuse abroad."
"And now, the strength of each club is similar. If the club wants to win, it must work hard in project management, personnel training, version analysis, etc. There are no absolute strong teams and weak teams, and the ecology will be healthier."
"Finally, prevent the impact of excessive capital intervention on the entire e-sports environment."
"The money-burning affects not only the club, but also the players. Many of the players were originally Internet addict teenagers, and all of a sudden they received an annual salary of one or two million and a signing fee. This salary level is actually supported by the popularity and capital. ."
"But the players don't necessarily recognize that, they can get bloated, they can get lost, they can compete with each other."
"For some players, if they simply get a sky-high contract, and others are paid one-tenth of his salary, can the atmosphere of the team be good?"
"President Pei made the salary of all players fluctuate within a certain range to prevent the salary level of the players from getting out of control, so that the club would not put all the funds into the robbery battle, but forced them to use it to ensure the training base and supporting facilities."
"This will have a more benign ecology for the club and players. In the long run, it will be of great help to the entire gog e-sports league system!"
Leader Su suddenly realized, and nodded frequently.
Well, that makes sense!
At present, e-sports is still in its infancy. There are two types of clubs. One is a relatively old-fashioned club that uses love to generate electricity and has no money, but the atmosphere, heritage and management are better; the other is a rich second-generation club involving local tyrants. Money, but often management chaos, impetuous people.
These two types of clubs have their own problems. If they are allowed to grow freely, it must be that the rich second-generation clubs will frantically spend money to dig people to destroy the ecology, and then waste management and waste talented players. In the end, all clubs will not be better off.
The road to the normalization of e-sports, under this disorderly competition, will become a distant prospect.
And President Pei's actions this time are equivalent to preventing wealthy clubs from engaging in price wars, but must learn to work hard on managing and cultivating players.
In the short term, some benefits are given up; in the long run, it can enable the gog league to develop better!
Leader Su couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Understood! President Pei's move is really long-term!"
"However, although President Pei's original intention is not to take care of our club, but it has the effect of protecting us objectively, so we will still remember this kindness!"
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "You train hard and get better results is the best reward for President Pei."
Leader Su nodded: "Don't worry, we will go all out to prepare for the battle!"
…
…
Friday, September 2.
The day before "Struggle" was released.
Everyone at Tenda Games is still busy, preparing for the launch and sale.
The official platform has already given enough face, not only negotiating with Tenda Games in advance to determine the best recommended location, but also allowing Tenda Games to prepare its own promotional materials.
The initial publicity and warm-up of the game "Struggle" has also been completed, and players are all looking forward to it.
It's just that because of the promotional content, the players' understanding has indeed gone astray!
The promotional content of "Struggle" is: beautiful pictures, all actions are collected by real people; diverse choices and rich strategies; complex and exciting plot; dual protagonist mode.
In addition, there is no specific screen of the game, nor a detailed description of the content.
When players saw these slogans, they made up their minds a little, and immediately felt incredible!
What game will require all actions to be collected by real people? This is obviously a large rpg or action game!
There are various choices and rich strategies, which should mean that the combat system is complicated.
The plot is gripping, and there is also a dual-protagonist mode, indicating a breakthrough in content.
To sum up, this should be an action-adventure 3a game with a big production and a wonderful plot
Everyone instantly thought of the classic works of some foreign game manufacturers, and they were full of expectations for this game.
Moreover, the name of the game did not use "struggle", but the English name "struggle", which added a touch of mystery to this game.
In short, the effect of the early publicity is indeed full.
It's just that before the game is actually launched, no one knows whether this kind of promotion effect is positive or negative...
No one can guess what kind of reaction everyone will have when they discover the real situation of "Struggle".
Hu Xianbin has been worried recently, and everyone has lost weight.
As the person in charge of "Struggle", he is the most clueless in his heart.
So far, Tenda games have a myth of invincibility. Every game released has a good reputation in terms of sales. If this golden signboard is in his hands, wouldn't he be a sinner of Tenda
Of course, in this "Struggle", President Pei's intervention seems to be much higher than the previous few times.
But even if the project fails, no one will think that this is President Pei's fault.
Hu Xianbin would only think that President Pei explained everything in such detail, and I haven't done a good job yet, this must be my problem!
Li Yada saw the worried Hu Xianbin and sat down beside him.
"What's the matter, worried about the launch of the new game?"
Hu Xianbin nodded: "Yeah. I really don't know whether this game can be successful or not! And the current way of publicity seems to only have the opposite effect..."
Li Yada smiled: "It's a coincidence. Do you know "Game Producer"? Before it was launched, Lu Mingliang was as worried as you, because at that time everyone felt that the motivation to play the game was insufficient after playing it once. "
"Then, Brother Bao put forward a point: We think it's not fun because the authorities are fans, and have already read the script of the game, and are already familiar with the various options. feeling."
"But as a bystander, it feels very special."
"He said, this is President Pei's attempt to be high and low, and it may be conferred a god, or it may end bleak. President Pei is actually using this game to express some of his own thoughts. As a work that transcends the times, it It may succeed, it may fail.”
"Even if it fails, it's not our failure, nor is it President Pei's failure, but the current game market is not mature enough to accept this kind of advanced thinking."
"What happened after the release of "Game Producer" also verified Brother Bao's statement. The game market and players of our era are worthy of such a good game!"
"Although the entire market is relatively impetuous now, we must have confidence in President Pei and players!"
After listening to Li Yada's words, Hu Xianbin felt a lot more at ease.
When "Game Producer" was released, he hadn't come to Tenda, so he didn't know these things.
Now that I heard that Senior Lu Mingliang had the same struggles and struggles as himself, but finally achieved great success, I feel much more at ease.
Hu Xianbin said: "Then let Brother Bao play "Struggle" again with the mentality of a bystander, and analyze this game!"
"Uh... By the way, Brother Bao went on a trip... "
Hu Xianbin originally caught a life-saving straw, but after thinking about it, he realized that this life-saving straw is now in Africa.
I couldn't help but feel a little more resentment towards Huang Sibo.
You talk about yourself, even if you go to travel by yourself, you have to drag Brother Bao!
Although Brother Bao usually does not work much in the game department, as the saying goes, if there is an old man, if there is a treasure, at this critical moment, the entire department is counting on Brother Bao to solve the puzzle!
Now how can this be done!
Li Yada smiled: "It doesn't matter, I can roughly guess what Brother Bao will say."
"Actually, the game "Struggle" is essentially the same as "Game Producer"."
""Game Producer" is Mr. Pei's lonely expression, so why isn't "Struggle"? It's just that the former is the identity of the expressor, while the latter is the identity of all living beings."
Hu Xianbin sighed: "But the theme expressed by "Struggle" is obviously sharper and more stinging. When playing "Game Producer", at most I felt a little annoyed, and I found this narration very annoying, But "Struggle" gives people the feeling of being heartbroken, as if all the despair and pain in reality are mixed together and forced into me."
"Can the players really accept it?"
"Moreover, the core of this game is always more difficult to understand and more complicated than "Game Producer"."
"I think, as Mr. Zhang Zuting said, this theme seems to be more suitable to be expressed in movies. If it is made into a literary film, there should be more market. For games, there are too many limitations."
Li Yada was silent for a moment and said, "I think that since President Pei chose to use games instead of movies as a carrier, he must have his ideas."
"Maybe it's because "Better Tomorrow" is too successful, so Mr. Pei doesn't want to use movies as a carrier. Maybe it's because of using games as a carrier, there are some other considerations."
"It must be because the use of games as a carrier can express some content that cannot be expressed in movies!"
"This may be a breakthrough that President Pei is trying."
Hu Xianbin was stunned for a moment: "What breakthrough?"
Li Yada thought about it and said, "A breakthrough in ideological expression."
"Actually, every game of President Pei expresses a certain idea. For example, "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Ghost General" are satirizing the current game industry, and "Game Producer" is based on the creator's ideas. Reflecting on the identity, "Back to the Shore" tortures everyone's heart in a way of breaking the dimensional wall, so that the players and the characters in the game can be integrated mentally."
"We will find that these stand-alone games produced by President Pei have more and more profound connotations and more and more tingling, and the understanding cost and patience required by players are also constantly increasing."
Hu Xianbin thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
The games made by President Pei are undoubtedly more and more persuasive. "Lonely Desert Highway" is just boring, and "Excellent Producer" becomes a provocation, and then "Back to the Shore" has become a multiple from difficulty to gameplay. persuade to quit.
And when it comes to "Struggle", it seems that the degree of persuasion is higher than before!
This shows what
Li Yada said: "President Pei obviously didn't really want to persuade the players to quit, but he gradually tested the players' psychological endurance by expressing them again and again to express his deeper thoughts."
"A deeper thought is bound to be more painful and requires a stronger ability to accept."
"As an expressor, President Pei actually attaches great importance to the 'degree' of expression. A good way of expression determines whether the audience's feelings are 'preaching' or 'philosophical'."
"Like "Back to the Shore", Mr. Pei combines the player's mentality with the choice of characters in the game by breaking the dimensional wall, and then through the difficulty of the game and various details to make this connection unbreakable. In this way, players Only when they empathize with the world in the game will they accept the thoughts that President Pei wants to express."
"And the more Mr. Pei's game is persuaded to quit, the more it shows that the thoughts expressed in it are hidden enough."
"Every work of President Pei is actually cultivating players!"
"Perhaps President Pei made "Struggle" at the very beginning, then players will definitely not accept or understand it. But now, President Pei has used many games to foreshadow, and the players' acceptance level has been very high. If you take out "Struggle" again, the success rate will be greatly improved!"
"And this just proves that Mr. Pei is not a reckless man. In terms of expression, he is not trying to force the players, but will consider the player's acceptance. If the player's acceptance is not enough, then cultivate first and wait for the players. After the acceptance level is reached, we will express more content.”
Hu Xianbin nodded frequently and asked again: "So, Sister Li, what exactly does President Pei want to express in "Struggle"? Class solidification? Matthew effect? Exploitation? phenomenon?"
Li Yada shook his head: "This, I don't know."
"Even Brother Bao can't understand President Pei's thoughts immediately after playing the game."
"President Pei's game is more like a large-scale social experiment. Only when enough players participate, each different player discusses or even quarrels about it, expresses his own opinions, and communicates and collides with each other. Finally got an answer."
"So, let's wait and see!"
