Chapter 548 Eighteen “Princes”

Celebrities gathered at the Shangri-La Banquet Hall in Shanghai. The reporter was so embarrassed when taking photos, and unexpectedly found that many professional e-sports players who came dressed up were very handsome, no less handsome than some celebrities.

For example, the "slayers_'boxer'" (commonly known as boxer), who is known as the "Emperor of Terran", wears eyes, is polite and elegant. The tragic prince "yellow", known as the "Storm Zerg", has the same name.

, always gives people a feeling of wanting to be cared for. There is also "protoss emperor", "grrrr" from Canada, sunny and handsome.

What makes Lin Feng slightly regretful is that among these top e-sports masters, there are no domestic players. After all, the level of domestic e-sports is currently relatively weak. However, with the launch of this "E-sports Champions League", Lin Feng believes that domestic players

The level of e-sports will soon catch up with world-class players.

Especially "Warcraft 3", although it was just launched last month, its popularity has already been listed as an entry in major competitions such as "WCG" and "CGI" for the next year, and China is undoubtedly the first choice for "Warcraft 3"

E-sports is a powerful country with an endless supply of good players.

For example, Sky, the "former number one player in Warcraft", and Xiaot, the king of beasts in China, etc. Thinking of these players, Lin Feng's blood boils. This time to form a club, his company must be the first to take advantage of these Chinese electronics players.

Recruit competitive talents.

Although Lin Feng’s purpose of organizing the “E-Sports Champions League” is to promote the influence of e-Sports, so that all e-Sports players can enjoy the fun of e-Sports games, and also to allow all those who are aspiring to become an e-Sports professional

Players can make a living and even make a fortune from it. But since they want to set up a club and compete with other clubs for the championship at the end of the year, Lin Feng doesn't want to lose, so he has no reason to miss out on these future ace players.

"Boss, everyone is here," Wu Zhaopu walked to Lin Feng and whispered with a hint of excitement.

Wu Zhaopu also did not expect that the "E-Sports Champions League" could really be established this time. During the first round of negotiations, which lasted seven days, the negotiations once faced a breakdown and broke up unhappy. After all, Lin Feng's requirements were too high, and most of the participants

The company cannot afford it. Under the market economic outlook, it is really difficult for these companies to support the "E-Sports Champions League" without considering costs and benefits.

Therefore, after 7 days of meeting, without any results, the meeting was suspended and discussed again after three days of rest. Faced with this result, Wu Zhaopu once thought that there was no chance, and suggested that Lin Feng hold a similar "wcg"

For tournaments, don’t have leagues. This is simpler, and it can be done with the financial resources of a “second world” company. There is no need to rely on other companies at all, and naturally there is no need to look at other companies’ faces.

However, in the face of this difficult situation, Lin Feng did not back down. Instead, he turned the tide at the last moment, getting various companies to agree with Lin Feng's opinions, and reached friendly agreements with professional e-sports players from various countries, so that the "E-sports Champions League"

Launched smoothly.

This made Wu Zhaopu have to praise Lin Feng - my boss is truly a god!

Lin Feng walked to the podium under the attention of thousands of people.

"Dear guests, first of all, on behalf of the 'Second World' company, I would like to welcome you all. I would also like to thank you for your support of the 'E-Sports Champions League' and your various suggestions over the past half month.

With a sincere heart to contribute to the cause of e-sports, we finally reached an agreement and established the 'E-sports Champions League'." Lin Feng took the lead in applauding.

The audience burst into applause, and at the same time there was a burst of heartfelt sighs. Indeed, the establishment of the "E-Sports Champions League" this time is really not simple. If it weren't for the persistence of this man on the stage and his last-minute efforts to turn the tide, I am afraid that this

The great plan was aborted. At most, it can only hold a competition similar to "WCG". The influence and scale of this competition, as well as the far-reaching influence it brings, are far from being comparable to the "E-Sports Champions League"

comparable.

Zong Qinghou, the president of "Wahaha Group", looked at Lin Feng on the stage and exclaimed - the young people are formidable. Last year, Zong Qinghou just lamented that the future belongs to Lin Feng. Unexpectedly, one year later, he could only say, now

It already belongs to Lin Feng.

Li Zekai looked at Lin Feng on the stage with a smile, and secretly lamented his wisdom in acquiring 20% ​​of the shares of the original "Second World" for 4 billion yuan. This may be the most correct decision he has ever made in his life.

What was 4 billion yuan at that time has now become more than 2 billion US dollars, and this has only happened in the past year.

Shi Yuzhu of the "Giant Group" also exclaimed in amazement. Looking at the country and abroad, there are almost no young people who can keep pace with Lin Feng. And even if you count them "old people", there are not many who can compare with them.

It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing so fast! - Shi Yuzhu could only sigh like this.

"Here, I would also like to express my gratitude to Director Qiu of the National E-Sports Department. Without the support of the country, our 'E-Sports Champions League' is like a rootless duckweed on the water, which can only drift around." Lin Feng applauded again.

, please bring out a middle-aged man in his forties with an official look.

The last thing Lin Feng was able to do to turn the tide this time was to seek help from the General Administration of Sports. After passing the last "Primary and Middle School Basketball Championship", Lin Feng and the General Administration of Sports also got on the line. During the three-day break, Lin Feng took the time to fly to Beijing.

I met Director Li, a man with real power from the General Administration of Sports. Director Li was originally very hesitant about establishing an e-sports department and did not dare to bring it up at a regular meeting.

However, after Lin Feng revealed to Director Li the Korean government’s intention to include e-sports in the Asian Games next season, Director Li agreed. After all, the relationship between Lin Feng and South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, through the mouth of some leaders,

Director Li still knows a thing or two about it. Lin Feng said that South Korea intends to include it in the next Asian Games, so he is right. Subsequently, after discussions, the General Administration of Sports agreed to establish this e-sports department.

After all, Lin Feng is now a famous man. He bought and handed over 51% of South Korea's Daewoo shares to the state. He is now very "popular" and is the richest man in mainland China. He is also so young and deserves them to have a good relationship with him. What's more, if

South Korea has really made e-sports a competition event in the Asian Games. They have established an e-sports department now, which will show their foresight in the future. Once domestic e-sports players achieve results again, it will be a huge "political achievement."

With the State Sports General Administration's intervention and the absolute support of Li Zekai and others, other hesitant companies immediately made their decision and agreed to the almost harsh conditions and requirements related to the "E-Sports Champions League".

After waiting for the director of the e-sports department to make a high-sounding "nonsense", Lin Feng then announced the relevant rules and systems of the "E-sports Champions League".

After long and difficult discussions, eighteen companies were finally willing to participate in the "E-Sports Champions League". These eighteen companies are -

Second World, Dingdang.com, Phantom Technology (formerly "Lin's Technology Co., Ltd.", changed its name to "Phantom Technology" because the name was too long), Qidian Fast Food Restaurant, Yingke Telecom, Wahaha, Giant Group, NetEase, Tencent, Lenovo, Haier

, Li Ning, VIA, ASUS, Acer, Nokia, Digital China, Tsinghua Tongfang - a total of 18 "princes" will fight fiercely in the new season to determine the final season champion of the first "E-Sports Champions League".

Among them, domestic companies are the main ones, and there is only one foreign company, "Nokia". As for "Nokia" being so enthusiastic about the "E-Sports Champions League", whether it is the high deposit or the long-term contract, Lin Feng has no objection.

He does not admit that "Nokia" is smart in some aspects. His own "Phantom Technology" is about to complete an acquisition agreement with a French mobile phone brand, and will compete with "Nokia" in the future. Lin Feng has to remind himself to be careful about this opponent.

Among domestic companies, mainly in the technology industry, there are only two group companies, "Wahaha" and "Li Ning". "Wahaha" belongs to the beverage industry, and this support for Lin Fengquan relies on the personal relationship between the two. "Li Ning" belongs to the clothing company

, Lin Feng has to admire "Li Ning" for being so supportive of the "E-Sports Champions League", especially "Li Ning"'s decisiveness at the last moment. Li Ning's ability to transform from a successful athlete to a successful businessman is indeed extraordinary.

place.

Of course, among the eighteen clubs in the future, four will be owned by companies owned by Lin Feng. If it is a league like football or basketball, this is definitely not allowed. After all, "match-fixing" and other phenomena are prone to occur. But

The "e-sports league" has its own special characteristics. Everything is controlled by computers. As long as the source program is correct, there is no way to cheat. Therefore, Lin Feng personally owns four clubs, and other companies have no objections. What's more, this is also because other companies

They quit one after another, in order to collect a certain number of clubs, Lin Feng's helpless move.

As for the operation model of the "E-Sports Champions League", Lin Feng hopes to imitate the business operation model of the NBA and build it into the most grand, gorgeous and most watched super league in the e-Sports world.
