One of the executives couldn't help but think about it and said: "Samsung is determined to stop WCG. It is estimated that the brand will be distributed to each country's competition organization. Without the World Finals, WCG will have a piece of cake.
.”
Fang Hong looked far away at the big screen on the stage of the venue. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said softly: "Judging from the results of the finals, it's not that WCG is dead, or that users don't have demand, but that Samsung's strategic transformation has failed."
No need for wcg anymore.”
Having said this, Fang Hong tilted his head and looked at the executive next to him: "Send someone to go to South Korea. You can buy it directly from wcg or as a whole package with icm company."
The executive next to him nodded and said, "Understood."
Fang Hong thought for a while and then said: "If we enter the market, the impact on the e-sports industry may be a historic change. First of all, all aspects and projects of domestic e-sports are fighting independently, and the fragmented situation needs to be changed."
"Only a world-class event like WCG can mobilize and connect all links, allowing them to temporarily put aside their mutual barriers and opposition, and clenched their fists to continuously promote the development of the e-sports industry."
"Who can hold up the world-class banner of e-sports in the future? It must have strong economic and executive power to relay globally, and it must also be tolerant and patient, and can accept e-sports of all sizes that are not pleasing to each other.
Competition projects and e-sports organizations, who else can support this banner than me?"
"After we took over, we raised the professionalism and specifications of wcg by several levels, making it the highest honor in all major e-sports events."
The executive next to him nodded again and replied: "Understood."
The wcg competition project has been running for 14 years, and it is actually doing quite well. After taking over, we only need to increase the budget and slightly optimize the backdoor, and no large-scale adjustments are required.
This is also due to the expansion of the sponsor Samsung Group in previous years. From 2000 to 2006, Samsung developed rapidly against the background of the depreciation of the Korean won and leading technologies such as semiconductors and plasma displays. WCG was actually very prosperous in those years.
Since 2004, WCG has embarked on a world tour, holding the finals in San Francisco, Singapore in 2005, and Monza, Italy in 2006. This is almost based on the Olympic model.
However, starting in 2006, due to factors such as the rise of the Korean won and a series of company management shocks, Samsung's profits from electronic semiconductors, LCDs, and mobile phones continued to decline, and fell to the bottom in 2009. That year, the WCG World Finals was originally intended to be in
From the Magic City of China.
Unfortunately, the devil didn't take a fancy to it and didn't provide any resources to support it.
It was also starting from 2009 that Samsung implemented strategic transformation and focused on LED-TV TVs and GXY-S series mobile phones. Samsung’s profitable departments, TVs and mobile phones, are getting further and further away from e-sports, and their internal decisions are finalized every year
There is a constant debate over whether to expand the wcg budget at the end of the year. It can be seen that cutting off is also a matter of time.
This year we are determined to cut it off, and this just fulfills Fang Hong’s wish. After the WGC was suspended in the previous life, the vacated market was divided up by other players.
Now, Fang Hong's decision to directly win WCG is equivalent to occupying the largest market share and the most influential event brand in e-sports. After all, Riot Games' S-series event was very successful last year, but it has not reached its peak.
Period, and Riot Games still has awe for WCG, and the same does not exist for Dota 2 events.
At present, the overall championship of the WCG event is the highest honor in an e-sports event in everyone's mind. Fang Hong wants to raise the event to a few levels and make the WCG event the "World Cup" and "Olympic Games" in e-sports, and become the palace of e-sports events.
level honor, carrying the world-class banner of e-sports.
If we maintain this momentum, the influence of other events will never be greater than that of wcg.
At the end, Fang Hong turned around and said, "Let's go to the World of Warcraft competition venue."
After saying that, he turned around and left, and everyone else followed him, quickly disappearing into the League of Legends competition venue.
The stadium staff next to him looked confused and shocked, and murmured to himself with shock: "Good guy, Wardma, what have I heard? WCG is going to change? E-sports is going to change?"
He looked at the direction where Fang Hong and others disappeared, and couldn't help but secretly thought: "Who is that person? The rich second generation of a certain giant group? No, the average rich second generation doesn't have that aura, what kind of boss is he...
"
After a while, his colleague came over, and he immediately gossiped with his colleague about what he had heard.
However, his colleagues didn't believe him at all. No matter how he swore, his colleagues just didn't believe what he said when he was a little Karami.
…
On the other side, Fang Hong arrived at the Warcraft 3 competition venue.
The place is also crowded, the scene is very popular, the atmosphere is very good, and there is no sign that wcg is going to decline.
After a while, one of the accompanying bodyguards handed Fang Hong a star4 smartphone. He planned to take a few photos of the scene. Several accompanying security personnel in casual clothes stood aside in twos and threes as passers-by.
At this moment, Fang Hong took two photos, and then changed the angle to take another one.
But at this moment, there was a woman on the left side in front of him and she immediately walked towards him when she saw Fang Hong. This woman was at least averagely beautiful. She came to Fang Hong and asked with a bad look: "You
Are you filming me secretly?"
The several bodyguards accompanying her had already noticed the woman when she approached Fang Hong, and one of them immediately went towards Fang Hong.
At the same time, Fang Hong was also stunned for a moment. It was common for beautiful women to take the initiative to talk to him when he went out. This was the first time he had seen this situation.
But Fang Hong instantly realized that there was something wrong with it. Logically speaking, his appearance and temperament did not look like the kind of low-level vulnerable group that was easily bullied.
Did this woman have a lack of brains, did she do it deliberately, or did she have another purpose.
These are all possible, and Fang Hong also kept an eye on it.
It sounded slow but was actually very fast. The accompanying bodyguards were about to pull the woman away, but Fang Hong suddenly stopped without saying a word and raised his hands. Upon seeing this, several bodyguards stopped and stared at the woman.
At this time, the woman also noticed this scene. She looked at the bodyguards, but she did not realize that those people were Fang Hong's security personnel, because the bodyguards who came with this trip were all wearing ordinary clothes.
, try to dress up like a passer-by, and look like he and Fang Hong are friends, so ordinary people can't tell.
The woman held a mobile phone in her right hand and put it in front of her. She secretly turned on the video and the camera on the back was facing Fang Hong and others. She scolded sternly: "Don't think I'm afraid of you because there are so many of you."
…”
Fang Hong said in an easy-going tone: "Girl, I was filming the scene and I didn't secretly film you."
But the woman said reluctantly: "You can't say whether I took a picture or not. Open your photo album and let me see if you took a picture or not!"
The two executives of Qunxing Capital who were accompanying him were stunned. They glanced at the woman in silence and looked strangely. The woman was looking for trouble and didn't realize who the other person was.
Fang Hong could have completely ignored the woman, but his thoughts were running rapidly at the moment. He suspected that there might be someone behind the woman targeting him, but he couldn't be sure even if he was just guessing.
There was nothing in the phone that took the photo, and it was not a personal phone that Fang Hong often used. He simply opened the photo album and showed it to the woman, which fulfilled her wish. He wanted to see what she would do next.
After a while, the woman looked at the photo album and felt confused.
I took three photos of the scene, but she was not in them.
How could it not be?
After a while, the woman said calmly and confidently: "Be careful and don't secretly take pictures of others."
Fang Hongtan replied calmly: "Girl, first of all, I didn't photograph you. Secondly, even if I photographed you, everyone has the right to photograph you in public places. This is not called candid photography. Don't define candid photography randomly. What is candid photography? For example
If you secretly install a camera in a secret room, dressing room, etc. at home, that’s candid filming.”
"The fact that I used my mobile phone to take pictures in public in this public venue is not a candid act in the first place. It just means that if the content I take involves some personal information, it cannot be said to be private, because if you appear in public, this is public information.
, even if I publish it, as long as it is not for profit, it is not an infringement of personal portrait rights or privacy rights. It is at most a news event. If you follow your logic, it is illegal for reporters to take pictures in public places."
The woman had no way to refute Fang Hong's remarks, so she chose to avoid it and left in a hurry.
At this time, a senior executive next to him approached and whispered: "Mr. Fang..."
Fang Hong glanced at the woman who was walking away and said calmly: "Check that woman, I want to know what motive she has for this behavior. Is it purely a savage delusion of being persecuted, or is there someone behind the scenes who is deliberately doing this?"
Of."
The executive nodded in response: "Understood."
If it's the former, Fang Hong will naturally not care about her, but if it's the latter, that's another matter.
After the small episode, Fang Hong ignored the woman and took a few photos at the Warcraft 3 competition venue. Then he moved to other e-sports venues and walked around. After wandering around the convention and exhibition center for about forty minutes,
Then left.
In the afternoon, Fang Hong ended his trip. Just when he entered the airport and was about to take a private plane back to the new city, Xu Jingren, who was in charge of Quantum Beat, called him: "Boss, what's going on? Why did you get hung up on the WeChat account?"
The blog was exposed by the Internet, saying that you failed to secretly take photos..."
Fang Hong was stunned: "Huh? Internet violence?"
Xu Jingren on the other end of the phone said: "Yes, I just noticed it too. I just came to ask what happened."
Xu Jingren didn't believe it at all. What was the identity of his boss?
Fang Hongyan replied succinctly: "Yes, I understand."
Xu Jingren immediately said: "I will immediately limit the flow and reduce the heat."
Fang Hong immediately said no: "No, if there is someone behind the scenes, it will become a target and let the bullets fly for a while."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Hong logged on to Weibo to check it out. It was actually posted on the Internet, and it was quite popular.
