Chapter 291 Catfish effect, Tengda becomes a money-giving boy?
The next day was Christmas Eve, and it was also the day of the TI1 finals.
As the big boss of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, Zhang Shuo will appear at the finals even without Tang Yu's request, and will be the final award presenter.
Because it was the finals, the occasion was unprecedented.
In order to organize the TI1 event, Liu Xiaohui put a lot of thought into it. For example, in this finals, a performance was arranged before the start of the game, and the guest performer was the Asian superstar Jerome.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he aroused cheers like a mountain and a tsunami!!!
"Jerun!! Jerun!!"
This kind of cheering is even more enthusiastic than last week when everyone shouted "Cute King" together.
It shows how popular it is.
Although he has passed his creative peak, Jie Lun is still the most popular singer in China, especially among the post-80s generation, and has an extremely large fan base.
And these fans are exactly the same as Dota 2 players.
This is why Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will not hesitate to spend 500,000 just to have Jie Lun sing a song at the opening ceremony of the TI1 finals. This is just a friendly price.
Because Jie Lun is also a game fan.
Previously, Zhao Xiaohu even asked Zhang Shuo for instructions on whether to sign Jielun to Panda Live, and use Jielun's high popularity among young people to guide traffic to Panda Live.
Was rejected by Zhang Shuo.
Inviting celebrities to join is a common method used by major live broadcast platforms and short video platforms in the original time and space to attract traffic, but the actual effect is not very ideal.
If you don’t tell me you spent money, you might get scolded.
The tone of celebrities is naturally incompatible with the down-to-earth style of the live broadcast platform.
Those singers who are stationed on the live broadcast platform are said to be live broadcasts, but in fact they are forced to do business. They sing dryly with the help of a few assistants. They neither understand live broadcasts nor how to interact with the audience.
What catches your eyes?
The people watching the live broadcast are all LSPs. They don’t really want to listen to the music. They just want to see the young lady’s graceful figure. It would be great if they could jump on a section and make some poses.
Can a celebrity do this?
Even if it could be done, it would be for a big boss in private and not for a stinky loser to watch the live broadcast.
The real win-win situation between Yuanshikong and celebrities is probably the short video platform Douyin. Celebrities are attracted by Douyin's huge traffic, and Douyin uses celebrities to consolidate traffic.
Win-win!!!
The reason why Douyin was able to achieve success is that Douyin's style positioning was actually quite high at the beginning, but later it became more and more rustic, and it almost became the second slow player.
Second, when Douyin came out, live broadcasts of celebrity appearances had already opened up a new trend in the industry.
It’s no longer considered a “status loss”!
In addition, Douyin later developed the function of live streaming to bring goods. Why don’t all the celebrities, big and small, especially those who have passed their time, take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune?!
As long as celebrities are willing to put down their posture, sit there and yell, "Family", fans with clever minds will pay for it. After a live broadcast, they can make a lot of money, which is more profitable than filming.
Who is not greedy?
It’s no wonder that a sister who sells goods on a live broadcast dares to make bold statements in a variety show: “I won’t consider becoming a star, because I earn more than a star. When you become a star, in the end, you still have to sell goods like me.
?”
It can be seen that you are really making money!!!
Many old artists who are so-called "virtuous and artistic" have directly sold their moral integrity in order to sell goods through live broadcasts.
As a result, the late holiday is not guaranteed.
In other words, it is the massive amount of real money involved in live broadcasting that immediately removes the so-called "personality halo" of these celebrities, and only reveals their true side.
It's essentially greed.
"Third brother, Mei Ya is really willing to spend money. He even invited Jie Lun." Tang Yu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Can I take a photo with Jie Lun later?"
"Let's watch again!" Zhang Shuo glanced at Tang Yu, "You like chasing stars so much, why didn't you choose an entertainment reporter during your internship, instead choose a current affairs category?"
"Do you think I don't want to?"
Tang Yu glared at Zhang Shuo and said pitifully: "When you are in the world, you can't help yourself. Even as an intern reporter, my mother said that I can only enjoy myself as an intern."
Well, every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite.
After Jielun warmed up, Cao Yanhua, President of Bluebird Interactive Entertainment, followed on the stage. In addition to congratulating the two teams that entered the finals, he also highlighted the arrangements for the TI2 event.
Different from the hasty launch of TI1, TI2 will adopt a season league mechanism and set up six major regions and five major professional leagues around the world, namely the Chinese Division, the Korean Division, the Europa Division, the North American Division, the Southeast Asian Division and the Wild Card Division.
It basically refers to the approach of "League of Legends", and the targeted meaning is very obvious.
More importantly, Cao Yanhua also announced that the prize money for TI2 will be as high as 5 million US dollars, which is more than three times that of TI1, and will also be more than twice that of "League of Legends" S2.
Rich and powerful.
If you want to promote the professionalization of e-sports leagues, increasing event prizes is the most direct and effective way, which will make countless e-sports clubs crazy.
In addition to finals bonuses, there are also league bonuses, spring split bonuses, summer split bonuses, etc.
In a word.
As long as it is a professional competition, e-sports teams may receive bonuses.
“nice!!!”
“Cow beep!!!”
"Bluebird mutual entertainment, eternal god!!"
"Such a generous bonus makes me want to become a professional!!"
Cao Yanhua's outrageous declaration undoubtedly once again ignited the enthusiasm of the live audience, including global audiences who watched the live broadcast through television, the Internet and other channels.
From the very beginning, the atmosphere of the game was pushed to the highest peak.
In the official game, with the advantage of home court, after more than three hours of fierce battle, the JWG team defeated the NaVi team 2:1, reversing history in one fell swoop and winning the first championship trophy in the history of Dota 2.
"we are the champion!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "We won!!!"
“JWG, awesome!!!”
"I feel comfortable, I feel comfortable!!!"
The moment the game ended, whether it was the host, the commentator, or the Chinese audience watching the scene, everyone was crying like a madman and hugging each other.
Some take the opportunity to express their feelings, some take advantage of it, and some take the opportunity to express their individuality and hobbies——
"We are brothers, let's do it together!!!"
This grand carnival also left the most beautiful comment for the TI1 finals.
Zhang Shuo has reason to believe that with the popularity of TI1, Dota 2 will set off a wave of craze in China, including the Goryeo region, overtaking the popularity of "League of Legends" in one fell swoop.
The counterattack has begun!
………
After the game, Zhang Shuo took Tang Yu to visit the backstage at Tang Yu's request.
The JWG team has gone crazy. At this moment, the team members are both excited and embarrassed to take a photo with the boss and idol Lin Weiwei, and then hurriedly post it on WeChat to show off.
"that's amazing!"
As a guest, Jie Lun also came specially to express his condolences, and naturally there was another round of sex... and a group photo was taken.
Tang Yu also shamelessly took a few pictures.
"Let's go have supper together later?" Zhang Shuo invited with a smile.
"OK!"
Jie Lun readily agreed.
Jielun doesn’t have to give other people’s face, but he must give it to the cute king.
Afterwards, a group of young people cheered and took a car to have a barbecue, which made a member of the JWG team blush with excitement. Tonight was truly the most glorious moment in their lives.
This is the championship tribute!
………
Monday, December 26th.
The weekend carnival has come to an end, and although the Internet is still hotly debated, Zhang Shuo himself has returned to normal work, dealing with seemingly endless company affairs.
It's too busy to be busy.
"Mr. Zhang, during the finals on the 24th, the highest number of online viewers exceeded 1.6 million for Panda's live broadcast alone, setting a new viewing record." Liu Xiaohui was obviously very excited.
After he promoted the headquarters of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, he focused on the operation of TI1 events. The success of TI1 was also the success of his personal career in a sense, leaving a very bright mark.
"Where is this?"
Zhang Shuo knows how influential "League of Legends" is in China, especially in 2021 when EDG wins the championship, college students across the country are going crazy.
It’s even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
"TI1 has ended. Next, the focus of Jade Bird Athletics will be on the preparations for TI2. In particular, we must organize the five major leagues and formulate game rules, event schedules and other details. I have a league operation plan here, you can take it
Let’s take a look.”
In the end, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but take action.
Drawing on the experience of the S-level league of the original "League of Legends" in the original time and space, it pointed out the direction for the Dota TI event.
I have to admit that the operation of the S-level league of the original "League of Legends" in the original time and space is very successful, and it does have many merits. Of course, Zhang Shuo cannot turn a blind eye.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang!"
Liu Xiaohui felt a little ashamed that such a thing still required the big boss to worry about.
I also made up my mind.
Next year, we will personally travel around the four competition regions of Korea, Europa, North America and Southeast Asia. If necessary, we will even stay in place to ensure the normal operation of the five major leagues.
As for why it is next year, it is because TI2 will not be a seamless transition after TI1.
This mainly involves the update of the game version.
Zhang Shuo has personally talked with Ice Frog and plans to launch a new version of Dota 2 before April 2012. The first goal is to lower the entry barrier for Dota 2.
The TI2 event will also be based on the new version of Dota 2.
So have to wait until next year!
Zhang Shuoka’s time point is basically the transition period deadline negotiated between Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and V Agency. After the new version is developed, the studio in the beautiful country will be disbanded.
Dota 2 will also be officially taken over by Dota Studio, a subsidiary of Bluebird Interactive Entertainment, for subsequent development tasks.
………
After sending Liu Xiaohui away, Zhang Shuo found Luo Changan again.
"I have promised the Second Master of Tenda to allow Tenda to intervene in the acquisition of 71 Assistant and Motu Xiuxiu. I don't need to say more about what to do next, right?"
"Don't worry, I understand!"
Luo Changan's eyes lit up. As the manager of the investment and mergers and acquisitions department, what he needed to do was to sell 71 Assistant and Motu Xiuxiu at a good price.
As for who to sell it to, that was not within his scope of consideration.
………
That afternoon, both Qiandu and Ahri received the news.
Qiandu Headquarters.
"Why is Tengda suddenly interested in Assistant 71?" The third master was very unhappy.
"It is normal for Tenda to be interested in 71 Assistant."
Gong Juren explained: "I have heard before that Bud Ya excluded Tenda from the sale target from the beginning because it was worried that Tenda would hold 71 Assistant and get stuck in Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's neck."
"Then why did you agree now?"
"It is said that the second master personally talked to Zhang Shuo and then brought Tengda in." Gong Juren said.
"It's not that simple, right?" The third master is not stupid, "Mr. Ya has always been at odds with Tengda, and Zhang Shuo is not that easy to talk to. He will suddenly change his stance just because the second master comes forward."
Before, Ahri and Qiandu were rejected by Moya when they were living in the local area?
That doesn't give you any face at all.
"What do you mean?" Gong Juren also felt a little strange.
"In my opinion, Germination should be dissatisfied that our quotation is low, so they want to introduce Tengda as a catfish and continue to muddy the water." The third master thought thoughtfully.
Gong Juren was about to say something when he suddenly received a Wei message, and then he looked strange.
"Boss, you guessed it right. I just received the news. Tenda responded very quickly and has already made a quotation to Germination. 71 Assistant alone quoted 6.5 billion, which raised the price by one billion. You see,
Should we continue to raise our offer, or should we choose to withdraw?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "We offer 7 billion!"
The third master is very arrogant and it is impossible to quit.
Moreover, the price itself has not exceeded the upper limit of Qiandu's budget, and there is still room for further quotations.
"Although Tengda is a catfish, his desire for 71 Assistant is also real."
Third Master has a headache.
He has realized that with Tengda's demise, the battle for 71 assistants will become more and more fierce. If he wants to win, he will definitely have to cut off his flesh and blood.
And it's a big cut of meat.
………
Ahri Headquarters.
"Zhang Shuo is not a good boy. He is so good at it." The third master can see through Zhang Shuo's tricks, and the uncle can certainly see through them too.
"Another conspiracy."
Ren Xiaoyao was also helpless. He finally discovered that the reason why Zhang Shuo was difficult to deal with was because he acted upright and aboveboard, and did not do anything false.
Because of this, there is no loophole to exploit.
It’s even harder to deal with!
"Then, how about we quit altogether?" Ren Xiaoyao suggested.
Anyway, Ahri is not that eager for 71 Assistant. Although 71 Assistant is also a good mobile traffic portal, if the price is too high, it is not worth it.
"It's not that easy to quit."
The uncle smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If 71 Assistant falls into the hands of Qiandu, then Qiandu will readjust its strategy and regain control of the large traffic entrance of the mobile terminal, and we will have to rely on others."
Ari has been suffering for a long time in the PC era, and naturally she doesn’t want to make the same mistake again.
This is why.
Ahri will be willing to compete with Qiandu, even if he kills him, he will win 71 assistants.
"Now it's even worse."
The uncle played with the beads in his hand and explained with a smile: "If 71 Assistant falls into the hands of Tenda, it will not only let Tenda breathe a sigh of relief in the mobile game business, but also widen the gap between us and Tenda."
This is intolerable.
"In other words, this time, the three of us are really going to fight?" Ren Xiaoyao had a headache.
"Eighty percent of it is like this."
How much is 71 Assistant worth?
In fact, there is no fixed number, and the prices are different in the eyes of different investors.
Especially depends on the demand side.
Once Ali, Qiandu, and Tengda all insist that they are determined to win and are unwilling to let go, then the price will definitely rise and gradually deviate from its true price.
High premiums are inevitable.
Who said that the three families are all owners who are not short of money?
It also coincides with the critical period of the transformation of the mobile Internet. As the three giants in the PC era, no one wants to miss any key trend and be left behind by the wave of the times.
Because of this, they are willing to acquire at a premium.
In fact, it is not just for 71 Assistant. The previous three investment and acquisitions in the local life services field and the large entertainment field all adopted a similar approach.
It is necessary to rely on the financial advantage to build as good a moat as possible.
"Zhang Shuo, this kid, doesn't know how lucky he has been in his lifetime. In the end, no matter who among the three of us wins, he will be the biggest beneficiary, solving the problem of the tight capital chain in one fell swoop." The uncle said with emotion.
Why do you feel that all the good things have been reaped by Zhang Shuo?
"Buya is a catfish of the mobile Internet." Ren Xiaoyao added with a smile.
"That's what happened."
The uncle is already considering whether to continue to close the relationship with Zhang Shuo.
………
It's Wednesday in the blink of an eye.
"Mr. Zhang, the latest quotation is that Tenda has quoted a maximum of 8 billion!"
Luo Changan was very excited.
Sure enough, after the third party Tengda was introduced, the situation quickly changed. Tengda, Ahri, and Qiandu took turns quoting, and the price naturally continued to rise.
"We still have to be in a stalemate for a while."
Zhang Shuo was very calm. This was already 2011. A few years later, a small 10-billion-dollar deal would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket for super giants like Tenda and Ahri.
One round of financing may even exceed tens of billions.
"It's like this. After reaching the eight billion point, the three companies have obviously become more cautious, and they all probably know that if they want to finally stand out, they may need a decisive offer next."
This is the same as bidding.
If the quotations continue to spiral like this, no one will be able to stop anyone in the end.
crucial moment.
You need to have the courage and courage to quote a price that is shocking enough to defeat your competitors in one fell swoop.
"Then let's wait and see!"
After Tengda ended the game, the game was completely resolved.
………
After Luo Changan left, Jiang Yue came in again.
In recent days, Jiang Yue has been dealing with the expired 600 million mortgage loan of Germinal Building. Now that the matter has come to an end, he naturally reports to Zhang Shuo immediately.
"The 600 million mortgage loan of Germination Building has been successfully renewed."
Jiang Yue is always very reassuring when doing things.
"In view of the fact that we have paid off the final payment of the owner of Germination Dayuan, the new mortgage loan has been changed from one year to five years, and the loan amount has also been increased from the previous 600 million to the maximum amount of 700 million."
“Well done!”
Zhang Shuo was very satisfied.
"Oh, by the way, the previous 2 billion mortgage loan has also been renewed. The total loan limit has also been increased from the previous 2 billion to 2.2 billion."
This means.
The 2.7 billion mortgage loan due in December not only did not occupy the working capital of the Sprout Group, but instead added a new loan of 300 million, improving the liquidity of the Sprout Group's funds.
It's very comfortable.
………
afternoon.
Zhang Shuo called his administrative secretary Dai Yutong, "Come out with me."
"OK!"
It has only been half a year since he joined the company, and Dai Yutong has long since lost his youthfulness, becoming calm and capable, and his dressing style is subconsciously like Chen Xiaowan's.
It’s true that one learns from the other, and both like to wear black stockings to work.
After going downstairs.
Zhang Shuo went to the Green Orange Shop downstairs and sold a lot of Green Orange Coffee and Green Orange Milk Tea.
"Hey, the packaging has been changed?"
It had been a long time since I entered Qingcheng Xiaozhu, and Zhang Shuo noticed that the Qingcheng coffee and Qingcheng milk tea had been replaced with paper bags, instead of the old plastic bags.
Even my habits have been replaced by paper straws.
This shows that Pei Weiping really listened to Zhang Shuo's suggestions and implemented them very well.
Didn't stay long.
Li Feng drove all the way to the filming crew of "Why Sheng Xiao Silent".
That's right, Zhang Shuo came to visit the class, and today happened to be Lin Weiwei's birthday. I offended this girl last time, so naturally I had to show off a little.
Women are very vindictive.
"Mr. Zhang? It's really you!"
Director Kong Shen happened to be at the door, and his jaw dropped when he saw Zhang Shuo.
"Hello, Director Kong, I'm here to see Weiwei."
Zhang Shuo, however, had no airs at all and took the initiative to shake hands with Kong Shen. At the same time, he motioned to Li Feng and Dai Yutong, who were carrying coffee and milk tea, and said with a smile: "I brought you something to drink, don't dislike it."
"How can that be possible?"
Not to mention how excited Kong Shen was, he turned around and entered the set, "Everyone, please stop for a moment. Mr. Zhang Ya has brought drinks to everyone, so please take a rest first."
"Mr. Zhang Ya??"
"The cute king is here???"
"Why did King Cute come to our crew?"
"I heard that the cute king is actually the big boss behind Jiawei Culture." There are also well-informed people.
"oh!!!"
It was only then that the actors suddenly understood, and then they became very excited. The actresses even subconsciously arranged their makeup and thought about what actions they should take when meeting Zhang Shuo.
Naturally, there was a lot of excitement on the set.
These actors may be arrogant in front of ordinary people. They are surrounded by security guards wherever they go, and they have to force passers-by to give way to them. They are all extremely arrogant.
But how can you dare to show off to a predator like Zhang Shuo?
It’s too late to curry favor.
After Zhang Shuo and his entourage entered the set, all the cast and crew stood reservedly, looking forward to it, but none of them had the guts to take the initiative to say hello to him.
The aura is here.
How could Zhang Shuo pay attention to this? He walked straight to Lin Weiwei and said with a smile: "Happy birthday!"
“That’s pretty much it!!”
Lin Weiwei was actually very excited. She didn't expect that Zhang Shuo could come to visit the class. It was the first time in history.
Although as one of the shareholders and mainstay of Jiawei Culture, she has a very high status in the crew, but she also enjoys the face brought by Zhang Shuo.
After all, the meaning is different.
I didn't see the other actresses in the crew, and I was so jealous that I almost drooled.
