If this had happened a few days ago, in the eyes of Chu Yun, Ma Peng, the handsome man with good luck, was still an irrelevant stranger in the game, far inferior to the happy fish, Wang Zhihua and others who were so friendly. Think about it, they were
But the enemy is fighting to the death.
But why did Chu Yun make such a 180-degree turn in his attitude?
This is something even Lin Ruoxi can't figure out. Do you think Lemon SLV is short of money?
No shortage!
Miss Lin paid off the 100,000 registered capital of Lemon SLV in one lump sum, as well as subsequent investment.
Then why did Chu Yun make a point of recruiting this seemingly unpleasant guy, Ma Peng, into the team?
To answer this question, we have to start from the day before when he chatted with Qin Hansheng from the dnd team about the team's operations.
As we all know, dnd has been in decline for a long time. Before Chu Yun joined, no, before Brother Zeng and the others rejoined the team, there was a long period of depression. During this period, dnd's winning rate has been declining.
It has almost no results. From being a top team in the league, it is in such a decline that it is even ridiculed and is about to fall out of the First Division. I have to say that the reason is closely related to its operating model and system.
At that time, I didn’t know who first brought up this topic at the dinner table, and everyone was booing. Because there was a game the next day, everyone was afraid of drinking and causing trouble, so they didn’t dare to drink more, so they opened a few bottles of beer.
, everyone clinked glasses, and it was the turn of Qin Hansheng, the dnd captain who was the most qualified to speak, to comment.
Qin Hansheng is 31 years old this year. He looked at the swaying beer foam in the cup, as if he was watching the years that passed by him, all turning into bubbles and dissipating. He smiled bitterly, drank it all, leaving a mouthful
of bitterness.
"I still remember that year, when dnd was just established, Brother Zeng, Han Sheng, and Heizi were all there. At that time, it was just a small fight. Isn't that what the so-called team is? If everyone has money, they can pool together, share the lunch box, and share the bed.
If you don't have enough money to sleep on the floor, who will care about how much money you can earn? If you really win a game and pay off the rent, water and electricity arrears, you guys can happily drink some wine and order a few dishes.
There isn’t much money left, right?”
Brother Zeng was the first to raise his glass and drank it down without saying anything.
Chu Yun glanced at Heizi and raised his glass to drink.
"Later, we won the runner-up in the first session, and the alliance finally improved a bit. The key was that businessmen discovered that this was actually a treasure trove. At that time, a sponsor came to us. I remember one was an electrical appliance company.
, one is for food and the other is for magazines.”
"Well, I also remember that at that time, the magazine said that they would take a cover photo for each of us, but in the end there was only a small lump on the inside page of the magazine." Dong Bihai mentioned the past events with a worried look on his face.
appearance.
Brother Zeng smiled and teased: "If you look like Yun Zai and don't have a 5-month-old belly, there might still be some hope."
Dong Bihai was angry: "My stomach wasn't like it is now. I was also a talented person, okay?"
Heizi smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, it's been so many years, and I don't even know if those sponsors are still there, so what's there to complain about?"
Qin Hansheng also nodded: "The food company was closed down within a few years due to a food accident. The matter was quite involved. The magazine was also closed down due to poor management the year before last, and the electrical appliance was closed down.
It's getting bigger and bigger, but now it doesn't care about us. It has long stopped being in the e-sports circle. Even if it is, it will only find big players like Dynasty, Xicheng and Longteng."
Chu Yun poured some wine into Qin Hansheng's glass. Qin Hansheng nodded and continued: "Some of the later teams are more formal. They have specialized sales, planning, personnel recruitment and training institutions, and large companies have invested in them.
In operation, we are all wildly ignorant.
Student, I always feel that the team is a family. When a family talks about money, it hurts the relationship. The result is getting worse and worse. Some of the old team members did not survive until the end and broke up. It’s my fault... I used to do it in DND.
Several opportunities, but at that time I was not willing to give up..."
Chu Yun remembered that he had heard Xiao Qing and others talk about it when he watched the dnd game for the first time.
The team operation model of dnd is different from that of other large teams. It feels like a small family workshop compared with a multinational joint-stock company. If one attracts investors, has sufficient funds, and earns enough attention, there will naturally be
Many people are vying to join, while another only operates in a small area and cannot broaden channels. Of course, the path becomes narrower and narrower.
Qin Hansheng also mentioned his sadness: "I always feel that I am sorry for them. Yes, how can one person have so much energy to take care of so many things? If I had been cruel and gave up my shares in DND to Long Heng or
For several other large enterprises, we may now have a more spacious training base, with talents specifically responsible for marketing training, and each old guy can also receive valuable shares and pensions. Blame me, blame me...
"
After Qin Hansheng finished speaking, he just drank alone.
Almost everyone present was moved by the situation. Qin Hansheng supported DND alone. Not to mention other things, his persistence made some of them feel guilty.
Brother Zeng is still the oldest here. He tapped the bottom of his wine glass on the table, attracting everyone's attention: "Stop saying all these unhappy things. Look, we veterans are back, and those who left are all here."
Let them go. Now Yun Tsai is here and has won the game again. The future is bright. Why are we talking about sad topics at this juncture? Come, come, drink and drink."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank.
This was just a small episode during a meal. At the dinner table, everyone quickly started talking about other things.
However, this touched Chu Yun deeply. The lessons of dnd reminded him of Lemon SLV, which was just starting now.
Brother Zeng, Qin Hansheng, Dong Bihai and Heizi were all people who once jumped into the dream era without caring about gains and losses. That era was very different from now. Even the existence of e-sports has not been fully recognized.
Everything is still a little sprout in the dark gap. Everyone has hope, but no one can imagine what the future development will be like.
The future is indeed amazing. If it were 10 years ago, no one here would have imagined that e-sports competitions would have special competition venues, and there would be so many spotlights, audiences, cameras, and commentators. Yes, you can’t ask for it.
In that era of gnawing bread and eating instant noodles, they believed that one day, they would be able to receive an annual salary of one million and be as popular as a star in front of the spotlight.
This is a dream.
Now the dream seems to have become a reality, but for more people, it has become the foundation for the dream.
Therefore, DND, which does not know how to adapt, is destined to be eliminated by this era, one day.
Although no one here said it, it was tacitly understood. Qin Hansheng, the only one who had too much affection for dnd, would be emotionally moved at this moment.
The reason is that the era of eating from a big pot and relying on dreams and perseverance to support one's own efforts is gone forever. Chu Yun understands this truth, and that's why he suddenly realized that there seems to be no similarity with dnd.
In fact, the amazing lemon slv is also on the edge of a cliff.
Because Lemon SLV belongs to Lin Ruoxi alone.
From registered capital, personnel recruitment, to employee benefits and auxiliary equipment, Lin Ruoxi took care of it all by herself.
This made Chu Yun feel the danger.
This does not mean that he does not trust Lin Ruoxi, on the contrary, it is because he understands Lin Ruoxi's character and behavior that he is unwilling to let her and this team constrain and control each other.
In Chu Yun's view, Lin Ruoxi's future is not in this e-sports circle, and he is sure of this. But he also knows that if Lin Ruoxi develops too deep feelings for Lemon SLV, she will feel that Lemon SLV cannot live without him.
, she will delay herself for a reason that does not require persistence.
It is normal for people to gather and disperse. Even old friends who are sitting here and having a meal together will probably have to say goodbye again in the not too distant future.
Chu Yun smoked a cigarette and thought.
Intangible things, such as the team, should be developed by people who are more suitable for him.
The lessons of dnd have undoubtedly proven this to people.
When the banquet was coming to an end, Qin Hansheng, who was a little tipsy, asked: "Do you still remember when we established dnd, what does it mean?"
