The two parties did not continue to discuss this topic. If there is a deeper discussion, it may involve other issues, which both parties are unwilling to see.
Dalian is only over 800 kilometers from the capital, and based on the flying speed of his special plane, it only takes about 40 minutes to arrive, so in fact, the two parties have not talked much before the special plane is about to land.
Finally, Zhao Yi suggested that the government establish a research institution specifically to deal with future social changes and conduct more research on the society in which artificial intelligence participates. This will help the government make more accurate decisions.
After returning home, Lin Hexia and Zhou Jinyu hid in his studio, and they teamed up to rank the game. Seeing that he was back, they did not continue playing.
This actually made him feel more relieved. If the two of them were indifferent when they saw him coming back, it would make him feel like he was redundant at home, which would be so sad.
Lin Hexia went to prepare clothes for him to take a bath. After all, it was already August, the weather was very hot, and he had been sitting outside all morning, and he was already covered in sweat.
Zhou Jinyu helped him get a bucket of ice cream from the freezer. Usually, these things were Zhou Jinyu and Lin Hexia's favorites, but he ate very little.
However, every time he sees ice cream, it always reminds him of the ice packs he ate as a child, which were almost always with him throughout his childhood. In the 1990s, a pack of ice packs only cost 5 cents at first, but eventually the price increased to 10 cents.
By the time he entered high school, ice packs gradually disappeared from people's sight. Although the ice packs in his childhood were made of water plus various additives, they were still delicious to eat at that time.
The quality of the ice cream stored in his home is definitely the best. The raw materials used are all top-notch, so it naturally tastes good. He quickly finished a small bucket of ice cream.
When he came out of the bath, it was already 3 pm. When he came out, he saw that the two of them were playing ranked games again. This shows how attractive this game is to young people.
Lin Hexia and Zhou Jinyu are now playing with new accounts. Although the rankings of their previous accounts are not bad, Zhou Jinyu in particular is already the king with the highest score in the entire server.
However, due to too many negative records in the past, the overall winning rate was still not satisfactory to her. In addition, Lin Hexia also intended to create a new account to compete in the rankings, so the two simply started from scratch.
Lin and Xia have undergone certain adaptive training during this period, and their reaction speed is much faster than before. Moreover, due to the development of intelligence caused by the neural response agent, their game playing level has skyrocketed.
Their new account has been playing from scratch to the current diamond three, and the winning rate has reached an astonishing 100%. If it is a solo queue, one person may not be able to lead a weak team to win.
But if the two of them play in a double row, the effect will be completely different. Lin Hexia is responsible for playing the mid laner, while Zhou Jinyu is responsible for the jungle. Both positions are roaming and have a very good support effect on the top and bottom lanes.
With their own strength, there is no problem in laning or jungle farming. Therefore, relying on the advantage of this lane, they put huge pressure on the upper and lower lanes, and each time they roam, they will gain a lot.
It can be said that with the strength of the two of them, even if the remaining three teammates are unable to help them, they can still guarantee the final victory, so it is not surprising that their record has a 100% winning rate.
However, when you reach the master level, you can no longer queue in duos, because when you reach the master level or above, you need to emphasize your personal strength. You can only queue in solo, and even if your teammates are no good, they can still do it.
In fact, this game has already appeared on behalf of others. If there is demand, there will be a market. This cannot be stopped, and it is unnecessary. Xuantian Technology Company has not cracked down on this.
However, it is not that easy for a general power leveling player to reach the master level. Even the king cannot guarantee that he will be able to obtain a higher winning rate in the master level. Without a higher winning rate, it is difficult to improve the score.
Since this game was launched, Zhao Yi rarely plays it because Lin Hexia can find other people to play with him and does not need him to play with him, so his account has not played any positioning matches until now.
Zhao Yi sat between the two of them, watching the two play games, and occasionally expressed his opinions on the situation on the field. Fortunately, his opinions were often very effective, and they did not feel like they were talking too much.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, with the cooperation of the two, they defeated the opponent very cleanly. If they hadn't stubbornly resisted, this game would have been over long ago. After all, the head score and the economic gap were too big, and the possibility of a comeback was very high. relatively low.
"Zhao Yi, I heard that this game is starting to hold competitions?" Zhou Jinyu asked.
Hearing her words, Zhao Yi was very surprised. Wasn't this something he had known for a long time? Not only was it promoted in the game, hoping that people with lofty ideals could participate, but Lin Hexia also knew it.
"What, do you have an idea?" Zhao Yi asked.
Hearing him ask this, Zhou Jinyu showed a rare expression of embarrassment and hesitated, which made him feel even more strange. This was not the usual Zhou Jinyu at all.
It seemed that she had gone through a lot of ideological struggle and made a lot of determination. When she was about to say something, Lin Hexia looked anxious and said directly: "She wants to form a club of her own."
Hearing what Lin Hexia said, he thought this was a good thing. After all, the e-sports industry had just developed, and a large amount of capital was needed to make the industry more mature.
Although Zhou Jinyu usually keeps quiet, his family is still very rich. In addition to paying for the daily expenses, he has saved a lot of money, even more than Lin Hexia.
"This is a good thing, why are you still hesitating?" Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"The problem is, I want to play the game by myself." Zhou Jinyu said softly.
After hearing what she said, he realized why Zhou Jinyu was so awkward. It turned out that she was afraid that he would object to her going to the game, but she really wanted to go, so she was so entangled.
This is also due to his influence. Since he himself doesn't like to appear in public, people who are close to him are like this, especially Lin Hexia and Zhou Jinyu.
But after all, they are not very old, and they are quite interested in many things. They are usually better. If there is nothing that particularly arouses their interest, they do not show it.
Not only are they very interested in this game, but they also play it very well. It is very natural for them to want to form an e-sports club to compete with the top players around the world.
They were just afraid of his objection. After all, over the years, they thought they had a better understanding of his character, so they behaved like this.
Although they are independent people and have complete freedom to make decisions, they still care about his ideas. If he disagrees, they will most likely give up.
Zhao Yi realized that although he usually did not have excessive demands on them, his actions unknowingly had a great impact on them, especially as his achievements became greater and greater, this authority became stronger and stronger. .
It seemed that it was time for me to change my image in their minds so that they could live more freely instead of living under the shadow of my own authority.
After all, their lives are still very long. As time goes by, it will put more pressure on their psychology. It is better to change their image from the beginning, so that getting along with them will be more relaxed and pleasant.
After making this decision, Zhao Yi said with a smile: "Is it necessary to be so nervous? Isn't it just to set up an e-sports club, form a team, and participate in the competition by yourself? It's nothing.
Let's do this. I will also take a share in this e-sports club, and Lin Hexia will also take a share in it. If you are willing to run it, you can run it yourself. If you are not willing to run it yourself, I will arrange for someone to run it, so that it will be easier for you.
As for the team affairs, it is not a problem. If you want to participate, you can participate. Although playing games is a bit unprofessional, as long as it is properly arranged, it is not essentially different from other leisure activities.
But now that the domestic competition has begun, it is a bit late to form clubs and teams. It will take at least a month or two to get everything done.
Clubs are better, they just need to invest some money, but if you want to form a team, you also need to find talents, which is not easy. In addition, you also need to equip a whole team, which is also not easy. "
The organizers of the event have announced the event process a long time ago, and now many competition areas have started internal group competitions, and they are still very fierce.
Because there is not much capital to enter the current e-sports competition, these teams are actually put together temporarily. They need to perform well and obtain support funds from Xuantian Technology Company.
As long as they can obtain support funds, the club they temporarily established will have the possibility to survive, and more capital will be able to enter later. Otherwise, it will end up being a moon in the mirror.
Therefore, the intensity of the competition in the group stage is not low at all. Although the overall level of the game is relatively limited due to the short time it has been on the market, it does not affect their seriousness in taking the competition.
If they set up a club here and then use their power to jump in line, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of Xuantian Technology Company, so this road is actually unworkable.
He has not reached the level of "playing with the princes in a beacon fire". Although he intends to change their relationship with each other, the rules that should be followed still need to be followed. This will not be because he has a high status and has the power to change the rules. Just use it as you like.
"How about we buy a temporary club?" Lin Hexia said next to him.
This is a good idea. Today's e-sports clubs are all improvised and have no achievements. Naturally, their valuations are not very high. Acquisition is indeed a good path.
It's just that there is a club, and there may be a team, but the game has already started, the player configuration has been determined, and temporary changes of players are not allowed. This means that Zhou Jinyu cannot participate in the game, at least this season. .
In fact, there is a loophole here, that is, clubs are allowed to trade during the season, which should be prohibited under normal circumstances.
Otherwise, it is easy for problems to arise. For example, if a team performs very strongly, and in order to win, a competitor may take acquisition measures and interfere in the opponent's game to achieve their own goals.
It's just that it's all in the early stage, and the value of the club has not yet been reflected. Naturally, no one will do this, because there is no need and the depth of capital participation is not yet that great.
When Zhou Jinyu heard what he said, the interest that he had just raised suddenly dropped. If he couldn't compete this year, he would have to wait until next year, and naturally his interest would not be high.
Seeing her expression, Zhao Yi felt a little unbearable. After all, although Zhou Jinyu was fooling around with him, he didn't really ask for much from him. This was the first time.
"In fact, it's not impossible, but we need to spend more money so that other clubs can accept us. As long as all clubs support us, it will naturally not have much impact on the reputation of Xuantian Technology Company." Zhao Yi said.
"Oh, tell me quickly." Zhou Jinyu and Lin Hexia asked almost simultaneously.
Things that can be solved with money are not a problem to either of them, so they have no objection to this, as long as it can be done.
"The biggest problem facing every club now is the shortage of funds. On the contrary, other things are secondary. The survival of the club is the most important.
If we acquire a club and announce to the outside world that we will give each club 1 million yuan in funding if we are allowed to change the players on the field, naturally no one will object.
Because even if they win the championship, they will not receive so much bonus unless they win the world championship. But the world championship is not that easy. No club has this confidence.
There are a total of 16 temporary e-sports clubs in the country, the most among all competition regions. As long as it costs 15 million yuan, this matter should be able to be solved, but this requires the support of all clubs. " Zhao Yi said.
To be honest, this price is actually very high. After all, 15 million yuan is not a small amount in this era, and it is also necessary to comfort the replaced players and give them some financial compensation.
These funds did not need to be spent originally. They were just for Zhou Jinyu to participate in the competition. The additional expenses could be said to be quite wasteful.
But from another perspective, it is not entirely a bad thing. After domestic clubs take the funds, as long as they make good use of them, they can basically avoid the possibility of being disbanded.
As long as we are well prepared, the future development potential will be much greater than it is now, and this will also increase the strength of our country's game competitions, and it is not completely a waste of money.
Because as the boss of Xuantian Technology Company, he will benefit the most in the end. From this perspective, the 15 million yuan is actually worth it.
"I'm willing to pay this money!" Zhou Jinyu said.
After Zhao Yi heard Zhou Jinyu's words, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at Lin Hexia and said with a smile: "You don't have to pay all of this money, because Lin Hexia and I are also going to play a game. How can we let you go alone?" Fight hard.”
This decision was not discussed with Lin Hexia and was a temporary decision. However, he got recognition from Lin Hexia's eyes, so he said it.
The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, to reduce the pressure on Zhou Jinyu to invest, and on the other hand, it can increase the reputation of this e-sports competition and make it a sensational competition in the world.
Both his fame and Lin Hexia's fame are not low. One is a top scientist in the world, the other is a strong woman and domineering CEO in the business world, and Zhou Jinyu is a university teacher.
These three identities have nothing to do with playing games anyway. After all, in the eyes of many people, achieving such an achievement requires a lot of effort, and it is impossible to have so much time to play games.
This is a very big gimmick, and it can also raise the level of e-sports and show the outside world that game e-sports participants are not all Internet-addicted teenagers, and can also convey more correct values to teenagers.
In other words, the game is not impossible to play, but you cannot forget your own job. Just like them, not only do the essential work very well, but they are also very professional in leisure and entertainment.
In this way, a value will be conveyed to young people, which is the need to balance study and entertainment. In the future, they will not only need to become great achievers, but also be able to take their hobbies to new heights.
After final discussion, the three people each contributed 33% of the capital, and all expenses were borne together, including compensation to other clubs, with a total investment of up to 18 million yuan.
Among the three people, only Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia have experience in managing a company. Zhou Jinyu has been staying in school and majoring in education, which is completely incompatible with business management.
But it is impossible for Zhao Yi to manage a club. So many of his companies are unwilling to manage it, not to mention such a small club, and Lin Hexia is not willing to manage the club.
If charity is still of great significance, then for her, the club is purely for fun and fun, and there is no need to run it as her own business.
So in the end, Zhao Yi was asked to arrange management personnel to manage the club. The three of them planned to be the hands-off shopkeepers and just play games when there were games.
So Zhao Yi pulled out a high-end robot from his laboratory, assigned it a reasonable identity, and then went to contact these domestic clubs to discuss acquisitions.
In fact, they don't care what the club is like. The strength of the club doesn't make much difference to them. Anyway, they contact each other. If anyone agrees first, they will acquire it. It's that simple.
In fact, many people are willing to let the club be acquired. After all, it doesn't have much value. However, during the negotiation, they tell the other party their subsequent plans and let the other party make a decision.
The current clubs are actually empty shells. They are basically established by a few game enthusiasts. The players are the shareholders of the club. After the acquisition in the future, three people will be replaced. Naturally, some people will be unwilling.
Because they are not only for the development of the club, but more importantly, they hope to become famous through world competitions. As a result, after being acquired, they may not be able to play, so naturally they are not willing.
They contacted the fifth club and negotiated the acquisition, spending a total of 2 million yuan. Because after this period of competition, this club felt that its hope was slim, so they simply took the money and left.
After acquiring the club, they announced that they would replace players and were willing to reach an agreement with each club and provide financial compensation. This news was very important news for the competition that was in full swing.
Originally, the name and strength of the God of War club he acquired were very inconsistent. It was at the bottom of the current score rankings, and its attention was naturally very weak.
A very weak club like this, who doesn't know whether it will exist next season, was acquired without any clue of the plan. The investors must be very stupid to do this.
This is not over yet. After the club just changed its shareholders, it immediately wanted to change the players who were playing. Naturally, it was opposed by the majority of game players, who thought this was cheating.
But within the major clubs, there are different opinions. In fact, the compensation they gave is too generous. With this 1 million yuan compensation, the probability of the club's survival is much greater.
Many clubs are formed by poor people, or even just a few friends, inviting familiar gaming friends, and are formed temporarily without any formality at all. They are basically grassroots teams.
Although in this era, due to the existence of Polaris Game Company, everyone is familiar with games, there are still many people who regard playing games as a non-professional job, which is highly prejudiced.
In this atmosphere, many investors are still cautious about investing in e-sports. In addition, everyone is unpredictable about how to make profits and their development prospects, so these clubs do not have sufficient funds.
Some clubs even had to cut back on food and clothing in order to save money on travel expenses and accommodation. They were miserable, so for them, this 1 million was like rain from heaven.
Despite the objections from players, within three days, the God of War E-Sports Club reached an agreement with all other clubs and announced the news to the public.
Players who were already making a fuss when they heard that the Ares Club actually gave 15 other clubs 1 million yuan each in order to change their players were quite wealthy.
This cost 15 million yuan, but we haven't seen any profits yet. It even made many players regret it. If they knew about this, they would form a club themselves. Wouldn't they also have their own share of this 1 million yuan
Players who originally opposed it no longer objected so strongly to the matter in the end. After all, many people are very clear about the current situation of the clubs and how important this money is to these clubs.
No one with a little sense would object, because this is very beneficial to the long-term development of domestic e-sports clubs, so this behavior of the God of War Club has been forgiven by most players.
As for the three people who were replaced by Ares Club, each of them was given a compensation of 100,000 yuan, and they were also allowed to continue to stay at the club, and their treatment was greatly improved.
Although they can't go on the field to prove themselves, they are very satisfied with their salary and bonuses. Even if they win the world championship, the total gains may not be so much.
There are two other players who stayed in the playing team after passing the assessment. Each of them also received a reward of 20,000 yuan. Although the money was not as much as the players who were replaced, they were able to play and were rewarded, which can be regarded as a reward. Quite satisfied.
In addition, the headquarters venue of Ares Esports Club has also been changed. Although the venue is not the club's asset, the environment is much better than before, and the equipment is also the latest and most advanced.
At the same time, the allocation of auxiliary personnel has been strengthened so that the players can train and compete with peace of mind. Compared with before, it is simply different. Everyone in the club is very satisfied with this. (End of chapter)
