Chapter 1293 Broadcasting Rights of the Global Invitational Tournament
November 5, Monday.
Pei Qian came to the office as usual, preparing to briefly look through the work reports of each department and focus on the recruitment situation.
With the influence of that pamphlet, will there be any difference in the employees recruited this time?
Of course, Pei Qian also knows that this idea may be too optimistic, but it is always okay to expect some changes.
Moreover, Wu Bin went back after being beaten by a bear. I don’t know how he reflected on it.
It would be best if we could fundamentally change the thinking of the people in the human resources department. If not...then we can only think of other ways.
Pei Qian began to think about how to correct everyone's understanding of Tengda spirit and correct the deviation.
It's just that there seems to be no need to rush this matter. After all, if you use too much force, it may become even more crooked.
How to do it specifically needs to be discussed in the long term.
While I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door outside.
Pei Qian looked up and saw that the person coming was actually Zhao Xuming.
"Huh?"
Pei Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because he knows very well that Zhao Xuming is used to trying to reduce his sense of existence. Reporting work or asking for instructions are usually done by Eric, and he rarely does it himself.
And this report is obviously not routine.
It can be said that it is quite unusual for someone to come to my door under such circumstances.
Zhao Xuming was obviously a little embarrassed. This was also the first time he had reported one-on-one to President Pei since joining Tenda, so he was inevitably nervous.
In the past, Eric was always present, and with Eric taking the pressure, it was more comfortable for him to just sit back and play support.
But now that he has to face Mr. Pei directly, he is inevitably a little nervous, fearing that Mr. Pei will catch him if he says something wrong.
"Is something wrong?" Pei Qian asked.
Zhao Xuming nodded: "Mr. Pei, I have sent it to your email regarding the live broadcast plan of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament, but there has been no reply, so I just wanted to ask for advice. Do you think this plan is feasible?"
Pei Qian was confused when he heard this.
Global finals?
Live streaming plan?
Oh, by the way, judging from the time, it is indeed time for the Global Invitational Tournament again.
Pei Qian really didn't pay attention to these things, because he had too many departments to pay attention to, and he couldn't take care of them at all.
Of course, strictly speaking, if Pei Qian really wants to find time to understand the situation of all departments, he can still do it.
But he didn't want to do that.
Because I am too tired!
My goal is obviously just to lose some money, so why do I have to work so hard?
If something goes wrong due to fatigue, wouldn’t that mean blood loss?
Therefore, Pei Qian has been working hard to create the independence of each department from the beginning, so that these departments can operate normally without any instructions from him.
Even if the heads of these departments made mistakes, Pei Qian never criticized them, but instead praised them.
Pei Qian believes that the best situation is for the heads of various departments to go to work with confidence and boldness, and not to ask for advice on everything; but when he wants to intervene, these heads will strictly follow his own requirements.
Over time, various departments have become accustomed to arranging work without Mr. Pei's instructions.
There is no way this matter won't be done unless Mr. Pei nods. Otherwise, instead of calling the person in charge, just call the microphone.
Now, Pei Qian's original goal has been achieved, but there is a big deviation from what he originally expected...
Pei Qian briefly looked through the previous emails on the computer and found that preparations for the second GOG Global Invitational Tournament had been started a long time ago, mainly by Zhang Yuan's e-sports division, and Min Jingchao's
Some cooperation.
After Eric and Zhao Xuming joined Tenda Group, some work was naturally transferred to them.
At this point in time, all the things that need to be decided have been decided, which means there are still some details that need final decision-making.
There was a lot of content and it was a bit of a headache to read, so Pei Qian simply stopped reading.
It is more convenient for Zhao Xuming to report directly.
"How is the Global Invitational Tournament going? I don't pay much attention to this matter. You can briefly talk about it first." Pei Qian said confidently.
Zhao Xuming was a little surprised.
ah?
Mr. Pei is not paying attention to this matter at all?
No, doesn’t it mean that Mr. Pei has always had an eye on all directions and an ear on all directions, and knows everything about the entire Tengda Group?
What's more, this is the GOG Global Invitational Tournament, which directly determines the trend of competition between GOG and ioi next year. Mr. Pei didn't pay attention to such a big thing?
Is this wrong?
Oh, got it.
There can only be two possibilities. One possibility is that Mr. Pei believes that the GOG Global Invitational Tournament is a sure win and is fully guaranteed, so there is no need to pay too much attention at all. He should focus on other departments that deserve more attention.
So I only have a rough understanding, without going into details;
Another possibility is that Mr. Pei knew that I had just taken over and wanted to test me deliberately to see how well I mastered this aspect of the job, especially taking this opportunity to hear my understanding of GOG's e-sports business.
Of these two possibilities, the latter is obviously more likely, or it may be both.
Zhao Xuming did not dare to be careless.
If Mr. Pei said he didn't pay attention, that doesn't necessarily mean he really didn't pay attention; Mr. Pei said he should just talk about it briefly, but that doesn't mean he just said it and that's it.
He thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Pei, from my understanding, GOG's second global invitational tournament is obviously a key link in consolidating and further expanding market share."
"The E-Sports Business Department obviously attaches great importance to this, so this year's Global Invitational Tournament is no longer about stabilizing the position, but choosing to take the initiative: moving from Jingzhou, where the first event was held, to Europe."
"This time we will hold the competition in three cities in Europe: the group stage in Paris, the knockout stage in London, and the final in Berlin."
"This global invitational tournament is held with the strong request and strong support of the local operators. The e-sports department has also participated in the planning and preliminary preparations of the event. It should bring a feast to players around the world!"
"Coincidentally, Zhidou Company has also set the venue for the ioi Global Finals in Europe. Obviously both parties believe that the European market is a must-win place."
"I think this decision of the e-sports division is very correct! It can also be regarded as laying a solid foundation for GOG to further expand overseas markets."
"The primary goal of GOG next is to accelerate its expansion into overseas markets while consolidating the domestic market, striving to seize the market share of global MOBA games as soon as possible and achieve overall victory!"
Zhao Xuming briefly introduced the GOG Second Global Invitational Tournament and added a little bit of his own understanding.
In his view, it has obviously reached the stage of a comprehensive strategic counterattack.
The two games GOG and ioi have been engaged in a protracted tug-of-war for more than a year. Although ioi has the Dayak Group behind it and has a high enough starting point, it has always survived a series of heavy losses, but now it has also
Decline is evident.
With the ruthlessness of Mr. Pei, there is absolutely no way he would let go of this golden opportunity, so he had to "pursue the remaining brave men to pursue the poor bandits" and decide the outcome in one battle.
Of course, Mr. Pei may not have participated in the formulation of the actual rules of the Global Invitational Tournament, but the general policy is definitely set by Mr. Pei.
The e-sports division and Min Jingchao must have planned such a global invitational tournament under President Pei's general policy.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xuming looked at Mr. Pei with some anxiety.
He didn't know whether what he said was right, whether his vision was high enough, or whether there was anything missing.
Pei Qian fell into silence.
At first glance, it sounds like a good thing to hold the competition in Europe.
After all, if you do it abroad, you should spend more money.
The first Global Invitational Tournament was held in Jingzhou, and it was played at the same venue as the GPL regular season. How much money could it cost?
If you go to Europe to organize it, you will have to rent some large stadiums, which will definitely cost a lot of money.
But the key problem is that, according to Zhao Xuming, this global invitational tournament was held "with the strong request and strong support of local operators."
GOG's overseas regional servers cooperate with local operators, and they are all relatively powerful local operators.
Since it is the strong request and strong support from the European operators, it means that this competition will not only be huge, but also most likely to have more advantages than disadvantages!
European operators certainly hope that very large events such as the Global Invitational Tournament will be held at their home stadium, which is of great significance for GOG to further develop the European market.
When the overwhelming promotional materials are released, no one knows how many new players in Europe will be attracted into the trap.
What worries Pei Qian even more is Zhao Xuming's subsequent words.
Especially the words "comprehensive victory" made Pei Qian feel a little uncomfortable.
It can’t be a complete victory!
How can this be a comprehensive victory? It is obviously a loss of life!
If ioi disappears, who else can stop GOG from making money?
When Pei Qian thought of this, he felt dizzy, as if he was seeing a countdown to death.
After a moment of silence, Pei Qian also knew that there was no good solution to the matter so far. After all, these plans had been prepared months in advance and could not be changed without proper reasons.
"Well, I understand."
"Then tell me about your problem, what is the live broadcast plan?"
Pei Qian decided not to worry about the details of the Global Invitational Tournament anymore, and just let it be whatever it was that he wanted to do.
Zhidou Company is not stupid either. They should work hard to organize the ioi global finals, so it shouldn’t be too bad.
Zhao Xuming had some doubts in his heart. Is Mr. Pei satisfied or dissatisfied with what I just said?
Have I told Mr. Pei the perfect answer?
Probably not, otherwise Mr. Pei should at least nod and praise me, right?
But there shouldn't be anything serious wrong, otherwise Mr. Pei would have corrected him.
In other words, it's not a big problem, but it's not a brilliant statement either.
Okay, this is almost the goal I am pursuing.
Zhao Xuming didn't worry too much about this matter. Anyway, for him, passing the test was enough. The key to the golden mean was not to be in the limelight but not to take the blame.
"Eric and I have just taken over the work of GOG. Eric is more familiar with the business in Europe, so he is busy with the Global Invitational Tournament."
"According to your previous request, I also took on some more work, mainly related to domestic operation and promotion."
"There are several live broadcast platforms for this GOG Global Invitational Tournament competing for the exclusive domestic broadcast rights. Among them, Waiwai Live and Langya Live have paid the most, with the amount already exceeding 100 million."
"So there are actually three options for domestic broadcast rights: the first is to choose one of the two major live broadcast platforms, Waiwai Live and Langya Live, to sell exclusive broadcast rights. The exclusive broadcast rights should exceed 100 million;"
"The second is to sell the broadcasting rights to several more companies, each receiving 30 to 40 million, and the final money may not be much different;"
"The third option is to consider the situation on Tuwei Live. If you want to convert more users to Tuwei Live, you can not sell the exclusive broadcast rights and let your own platform broadcast them directly. I just don't know if you can afford it.
So much heat.”
"Furthermore, Tuwei Live Broadcast is different from other live broadcast platforms. You can't just click on it to watch it. You have to watch it for a certain amount of time in the study area. If you broadcast it alone, will you get scolded? This is a question."
Zhao Xuming definitely wouldn’t dare to make the decision on this kind of thing. After all, it’s about Tuwei Live Broadcast.
What if Pei always wanted to take this opportunity to promote Tuwei Live, but he sold the exclusive broadcast rights to other live broadcast platforms, wouldn't that disrupt Mr. Pei's overall plan?
Even if Zhao Xuming had a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to make the decision on this kind of thing.
If Mr. Pei hadn't replied to the email and was in a hurry, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask for advice.
It can only be said that Zhao Xuming was indeed forced to act in such a way that went against his personality.
Pei Qian fell silent again.
These three options are all a bit direct to the soul...
Is the exclusive rights to the GOG Global Finals already so expensive?
Pei Qian's impression is still stuck on the broadcast rights quotation of the GPL Spring Split. At that time, the broadcast rights given by the live broadcast platform were about 12 million per company, but that was a broadcast, not an exclusive broadcast.
The GOG Global Invitational Tournament is far superior to the GPL Spring Split in terms of scale and attention, and Waiwai Live and Langya Live have survived many live broadcast platforms at the time. After several rounds of financing, they are both the ones who are not short of money.
In order to further expand their influence, these two live broadcast platforms are bound to win large-scale events such as the GOG Global Invitational Tournament.
It's best if you can grab the exclusive broadcast rights. If you can't grab them, you should at least buy the broadcast rights.
And they are really not very sensitive to price, and they will probably buy it even if it is more expensive.
After all, if you didn’t buy it and someone else did, wouldn’t it mean that your platform has little money and is about to go bankrupt?
Just like many wealthy businessmen, the economic situation this year may indeed be bad, but you still have to have the proper pomp, otherwise it will send a not-so-good message to the outside world.
Pei Qian casually calculated that if these two platforms were to bid, whether they were selling exclusive broadcast rights or broadcast rights, this would not be a small number!
Zhao Xuming proposed a third option, which was not to sell it at all and let Tuwei Live broadcast it exclusively.
It sounds like a pretty good plan, because I will definitely get scolded.
And in order to cope with such a large amount of traffic, it will definitely have to spend a lot of money to increase the bandwidth of the platform.
But the problem is that Tuwei Live Broadcast is very good now, and Pei Qian is quite satisfied with it.
If the global finals is forcibly led by Tuwei Live, wouldn’t it mean that we lose both our wife and our troops?
