Chapter 710 President Pei's psychological warfare! (Happy birthday to my wife!)
October 30, Sunday afternoon.
Pei Qian was drinking coffee at Moyu Internet Cafe and checking public opinions on the Internet on his laptop.
Sure enough, after those club managers took back Tenda's regulations, they began to create public opinion on the Internet.
Starting from Friday night, some people on Weibo and forums broke the news that Tenda is preparing for the GPL league. Correspondingly, there is also news that "Tengda is suspected of squeezing the club."
Some of them are influential big Vs, and some look like troll leaders. They have forwarded their own news one after another. The source of the news cannot be known, and naturally it is not known which club it comes from.
The contents of the messages sent by these people were similar, and they were basically accompanied by the original text of the regulation.
“Tengda has established an e-sports division and requires clubs not to sign private contracts with players, and in the event of disputes they must accept Tenda’s official mediation. Even contracts cannot be freely negotiated between clubs and players, and can only accept Tenda’s Unified standard clause. If the club does not accept this condition, it will not be able to obtain GPL admission quota. Isn’t this too impersonal?”
"These clubs have invested money and effort to organize the GoG World Invitational Tournament, but they are turning their backs on them?"
"Clubs and officials should have a mutually beneficial relationship. Both parties have their own areas of expertise. Game officials should focus on improving game content and ensuring a fair and just e-sports environment. Over-involvement will only make the e-sports environment rigid!"
"We must ensure the rights and interests of clubs. Only when the interests of major clubs are guaranteed can we participate in the GPL league without any worries. Otherwise, the club's investment may be wasted at any time. Which club would dare to participate? This is the players, the audience, It’s a situation where all three parties in the club lose!”
"I think Tenda officials should seriously ensure the rights and interests of major clubs, respect the professionalism and accumulation of each club in the e-sports industry, and each play a different role to ensure the healthy development of the domestic e-sports industry..."
Many people have forwarded similar content, with similar opinions.
It simply emphasizes that Tenda’s GPL has many rules and excessive restrictions on clubs. In fact, it constitutes exploitation of clubs and is not conducive to the healthy development of the entire e-sports industry. Various clubs have united to call for a boycott of this phenomenon...
Naturally, many clubs have forwarded similar views and expressed concern about this.
I didn’t say it explicitly, but the attitude was there.
Under these Weibo posts, players have different opinions.
Some people are in favor, some are against it, and some people just want to eat melon.
"After taking a look at this clause, I think Tenda's starting point is good. It wants to standardize the e-sports environment, but it also doesn't think about what the league will do if there are no clubs to support it. Clubs are partners and cannot blindly exploit them!"
"Yes, Tenda is obviously doing this for its own benefit and has squeezed the clubs too hard. Now that it's okay, all the clubs have united to oppose it. How can GPL continue?"
"I think Tengda is too impatient. It's not necessary. We still have to give the club some room to survive."
"What are you guys talking about upstairs? Tenda doesn't prevent the club from making money. There are no restrictions on endorsements, competitions, or sponsorships. They just ask for a standard contract and accept Tenda's regulation and supervision. Isn't this excessive? Why are they all here? Such a violent reaction?”
"This is a good thing to standardize the industry. What's more, I believe in Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei must have his reasons for doing this!"
"Forget it, this is not the time to argue about right and wrong. Both sides should take a step back. Don't make everyone unable to step down. General Pei's GPL must be supported by other clubs to run it, right?"
"Only children can tell the difference between right and wrong. Adults only care about profit. I think it's a bit too much to exploit the club like this right from the beginning. Give me a sweet date first, and then take your time later."
"As a spectator, I don't care about this. Anyway, the gpl league should be launched as soon as possible. I can't wait to watch the game!"
Obviously, there are some traces of naval activities here, but they are relatively hidden and cannot be seen by ordinary people.
The reason why the public opinion is not one-sided is that on the one hand, the club is loud and there are trolls involved, and on the other hand, there are too few people who care about the rights of the players.
Because the domestic e-sports industry is just in its infancy, and players have just transitioned from the stage of eating instant noodles to the stage of having no worries about food and clothing, many Internet-addicted teenagers have transformed into high-paying e-sports players.
Many people don't think it's a tragedy that they were cheated by the contract.
You guys get a salary of hundreds of thousands or millions a year just for playing games, and you still complain about being cheated all day long, do you have any shame?
What's more, there haven't been many vicious contract disputes breaking out yet.
Therefore, the vast majority of the public are not aware of the importance of this matter at all. If they are slightly instigated by the trolls at the club, they will think that Tenda is making a fuss out of a molehill.
If it were anyone else, there would definitely be words of suffering at this time, and there would be nowhere to vent the anger.
But Pei Qian was quite happy when he saw these public opinions.
It doesn’t matter whether you understand it or not!
The best thing is to make the club feel that they have a chance to win and sell all the gog branches!
We can take this opportunity to take over all the gog branches and slowly lose money. How much money will be spent at once!
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Therefore, Pei Qian did not intend to clarify anything at all, and even if he clarified, it would not have much effect.
Let public opinion continue to ferment, and I won’t suffer anyway.
While I was browsing the comments on the Internet, my phone buzzed. It was Zhang Yuan calling.
"Mr. Pei, the heads of each club have called again, saying that they have fully communicated with their bosses and hope to discuss the specific details of cooperation with us."
"And I hope you can be there when we talk."
Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.
This is because the club managers saw that the public opinion was almost fermented and felt that their attitude should be relaxed, so they wanted to talk again and test their own tone.
Zhang Yuan's words don't count, so he must talk to Mr. Pei in person.
Pei Qian replied directly: "Tell them that today is Sunday and Tengda is not at work. If anything happens, we will discuss it on Monday afternoon."
Obviously, public opinion is not fermented enough, so there is no harm in waiting one more day.
What's more, Pei Qian didn't lie. Tengda did not work on the weekends. Pei Qian had nothing to do on the weekends, drinking coffee and browsing the web, but he had to meet with these club managers to discuss work?
Then Pei Qian really doesn't want to go.
…
On the other side of the phone, dge club.
Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment: "Okay, Mr. Pei."
He turned around and looked at the group of club managers who came to the door: "Mr. Pei said that he will not work today and Sunday. Please come back at 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon. Sorry, I made everyone's trip in vain."
Manager Li and the other managers looked at each other and were silent for a long time before nodding: "Okay... okay, let's wait until Mr. Pei goes to work before we come back."
After leaving the dge club, Manager Li and others all looked confused.
They took the initiative to come to our door today because they felt that the public opinion was almost fermented. Mr. Pei probably realized the seriousness of the problem and it was almost time to talk about it.
Give Mr. Pei a step down. Since Mr. Pei is a smart man, he will definitely understand instantly, get off the donkey, and then the two sides will start friendly negotiations and take a step back...
However, the script didn’t go that way at all!
Everyone lowered their voices and discussed in low voices.
"What's going on?"
"Manager Li, this situation is very different from what you expected..."
"Mr. Pei is still in the mood to spend the weekend? Public opinion has fermented to this extent. Do you really want to spend another day?"
"Could it be a miscalculation? Mr. Pei doesn't care about this matter at all, right? Then wouldn't it be that all the preliminary preparations we have done have been in vain?"
"Not necessarily! I think Pei is always bluffing, deliberately extending the day, showing that he doesn't care at all, so that he can get more chips when negotiating with us..."
"Well, that makes sense, so Mr. Pei only dares to delay for one more day."
The club managers analyzed it, but no one was sure.
Because Mr. Pei’s move was really unreasonable and unpredictable.
In addition, Tengda itself occupies an absolutely dominant position, which makes Mr. Pei's move even more meaningful, and has to be interpreted in some depth.
Manager Li was also a little unsure, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to scare yourself. Maybe Mr. Pei himself doesn't have the confidence and deliberately released this kind of smoke bomb to create psychological pressure on us."
"Everyone is doing whatever they are supposed to do. Mr. Pei is not in a hurry, so why should we be in a hurry?"
"If anything happens, we can just go to the conference table and talk about it."
"As long as we unite and resist Tengda, victory will definitely belong to us!"
…
…
Monday, October 31st.
Pei Qian slept until he woke up naturally as usual, had lunch very calmly, played games at Moyu Internet Cafe for a while, and then walked slowly to the dge club.
Zhang Yuan made an appointment with these club managers at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Pei Qian was 15 minutes late on purpose.
In fact, there is no special reason. I just want to anger these club managers again.
When they get angry, they will probably simply sell the gog branch, right?
At the same time, in the conference room of dge club.
The managers of each club looked a little embarrassed.
What's the meaning?
Let's just forget about not seeing each other on Sunday. We made an appointment on Monday, but Mr. Pei was late?
It is said that Pei is always a punctual person?
Is it possible that Mr. Pei is really that stubborn? By first postponing and then being late, he is making a statement to all clubs: If you dare to break up, then give it a try?
Manager Su had a vague feeling that was very bad.
Manager Li of Sug, on the other hand, has a straight face. He can't collapse now no matter what he says. If it collapses, other clubs will instantly become cowardly. Wouldn't it be in vain?
What's more, Mr. Pei's behavior is probably just a bluff and must not show any cowardice.
Pei Qian came to the empty seat at the conference table. After looking around, he never mentioned the matter of being late. He just smiled slightly: "Have everyone made an agreement with the boss? If there is no problem, please give the gog branch to the club.
Come on, let's sign the transfer contract right now."
The club managers all looked stunned, with question marks floating over their heads.
???
There are especially many question marks on Manager Li's head.
Everyone was confused, almost thinking that they had missed a meeting or had lost their memory.
No, we agreed to discuss it in detail today?
Before we even started talking, you just assumed that we were going to sell?
