Chapter 715: A small calculation, another ten million (seeking the moon)
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian began to worry.
Why do other less familiar companies also want to get involved?
Pei Qian quickly guessed it.
Look at the companies that entered the market at the beginning. There are investment companies, real estate companies, second-generation rich, gaming companies, and there are giants like Shenhua Real Estate among them!
What level is Shenhua Real Estate? Now playing in football clubs, the transfer fee for a player has to be upwards of 20 million!
And it will be even higher in a few years.
At first, the domestic football league was half-dead, but after Shenhua Real Estate and several other big real estate companies entered the market, they began to spend money like crazy, instantly gaining popularity. Although the club has been burning money, the advertising fees saved are worthless.
Earned.
For Shenhua Real Estate, it is quite cost-effective to buy an e-sports club with a player's transfer fee and get direct results.
It was Mr. Pei who was working on GPL. If it worked, everyone would be happy; if it didn't work, I would just throw away the more than 10 million yuan and I wouldn't feel bad.
But the entry of Shenhua Real Estate instantly became a weather vane!
Previous TV programs have already called for companies to cooperate more with Tenda. There is absolutely no harm in doing so. Therefore, Tenda’s current actions are being watched by many large companies.
As soon as there is any trouble, they will immediately get involved.
After all, Tenda has created so many business miracles and tapped into so many industry trends. This is not false.
Coupled with the endorsement of the “Tengda Model” by famous economists, this appeal cannot be underestimated.
As soon as the sale of GPL league spots and ready-made teams came out, these companies immediately felt that they had sensed the trend.
Although previous e-sports clubs did not make money, what were those previous e-sports clubs?
There are ordinary rich second-generation people who play for tickets, there are those organized voluntarily by Internet-addicted teenagers, there are those developed by power-training studios... In short, there is no regular army.
But what are the companies that come to bid for GPL?
Shenhua, a domestic giant company, Shenhua Real Estate is a top player in the domestic football circle;
Although Xue Zhebin is also a rich second generation, he is different from other rich second generations. His family is extremely rich;
Tianhuo Studio is one of the top game studios in China. Although it is no longer as well-known as Tengda, it still makes a lot of money.
What is this called?
This is called a regular army!
The owners and capital behind the previous clubs are not on the same level. Can they be compared?
These people all think that GPL is behind it, which means that this matter is definitely profitable. Once they exit, more capital will definitely follow.
Therefore, all the companies that had been paying attention to Tenda before heard the news and expressed their desire to bid.
They don't care at all what public opinion is outside.
Public opinion can be influenced and induced, and ordinary netizens don't know what's going on. They just follow the rules and take the lead.
It is these big companies that take the lead that really decide how these companies choose!
Pei Qian was instantly discouraged.
Finished!
These companies all want to buy the GoG division and join the GPL league, but there are only 6 clubs preparing to sell the GoG division. Doesn't this mean that they have all found third-party buyers?
In this way, Tengda does not need to cover up or pay liquidated damages.
Vomiting blood!!
What a great opportunity to burn money, but this group of people messed it up again!
Pei Qian was quite looking forward to the bidding, hoping that no one would take over the bids for these gog branches, so he would be happy to accept them.
Now, it's boring.
Because it has nothing to do with whether these gog branches are sold or not. Tenda cannot bid with third-party buyers.
Pei Qian sighed silently.
Forget it, let's just think of it as a wasted effort.
However, just after Pei Qian took two sips of coffee, the phone rang again.
I picked it up and saw that it was Zhang Yuan calling.
Pei Qian: "?"
Pick up the phone quickly.
"Mr. Pei! I just told the six clubs about the bidding, and then...hey, Mr. Pei, you wouldn't have guessed it a long time ago, right?"
Pei Qian: "?"
What did I guess? I guessed!
Can you please stop speaking halfway?
Pei Qian was speechless: "What happened next?"
Zhang Yuan said excitedly: "Then, three of the clubs decided not to sell!"
Pei Qian was stunned.
Not for sale?
Is it okay to have a little bit of a contractual spirit? We agreed to sell it, but why did we change our minds?
Hey, that’s not right, haven’t you already signed the contract?
Pei Qian was a little confused: "Didn't we already sign an agency contract? If they don't sell, they will have to pay liquidated damages!"
Zhang Yuan laughed: "So Mr. Pei, your trick is so clever!"
"Those clubs really wanted to sell the GoG division at a high price at first, and later buy an Internet cafe team at a low price to come back."
"That's why they signed this contract."
"But now, the tide has completely changed!"
"Shenhua and these companies are in trouble. The number of bidding companies instantly increased to ten. Although the bidding has not officially started, the value will definitely increase by at least 30 to 40%!"
"This is not a good thing. These clubs know very well that although it can be sold at a high price now, it also means that there are a lot of companies outside who are eyeing the GPL quota!"
"Besides, there are already so many people trying to rob GPL before it is even started. If it is done in the future, won't it be even more difficult?"
"They have thought clearly. Once they sell the branches and GPL quotas for more than 10 million now, it will be difficult to buy them back later for 30 million or 40 million!"
"But it won't work if we don't sell it. Here's the contract."
"So, they would rather pay two to three million in liquidated damages than sell it! Because if they sell it, they will lose more in the future!"
"Mr. Pei, you made a little plan, and another 10 million was credited!"
Pei Qian fell into a daze when he heard Zhang Yuan's overjoyed voice on the phone.
No, I added a liquidated damages clause to the contract, and I originally planned to pay for it myself!
It’s not about making money from these clubs!
However, it is too late to say anything now. The contract has been signed, and there is no possibility of Tenda breaching the contract now.
I can only tearfully accept 10 million from these three clubs!
Pei Qian was speechless and choked for a moment.
"So... what about the other three clubs that insist on continuing to sell? Is Sug still selling?" Pei Qian asked.
Zhang Yuan: "Sug is still selling! These three companies are obviously strong-willed and are still betting. They firmly believe that if they sell now, they can sell it at a high point and there will be opportunities to re-enter the market in the future."
Pei Qian: "..."
I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, Zhang Yuan asked tentatively: "Mr. Pei, what about... the bidding? We originally sold six, but now we can only sell three."
Pei Qian felt a little hopeless: "What do you think?"
He doesn't have much idea now, it's already like this, he just needs to sell it as he should.
Or does Zhang Yuan have other ideas?
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Pei, I have the same view as you."
Pei Qian: "?"
What do I think? What do I think?
Zhang Yuan continued: "Have you expected that there will only be a small number of clubs left?"
"There are now more than ten companies bidding, but there are only three places available. These buyers will definitely raise their prices like crazy!"
"After all, these companies are not short of money, and people have a mentality of buying up and not buying down. The scarier the spots are, the more fiercely they compete for them!"
"Three quotas, one round of bidding first; then we have more GPL quotas on hand, and we will release two or three more in the next wave for them to grab..."
"Such a cycle will definitely maximize GPL's profits..."
Pei Qian was frightened when he heard this: "Absolutely not!"
Zhang Yuan: "?"
Just listening to Zhang Yuan's description, Pei Qian had already foreseen his tragic fate in the future.
Pei Qian let out a sigh of relief: "How many GPL quotas do we have?"
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Uh, Mr. Pei, didn't we originally plan to arrange 12 to 16 teams? There are a total of ten established clubs in Jingzhou, four of which are not for sale, and three of the six that are planned to be sold.
I’m going to back down and prepare to pay liquidated damages.”
"So in addition to the GPL quotas for these three clubs that are still for sale, we also have 2 to 6 quotas. You decide how many to release."
Pei Qian immediately said: "Throw out all the remaining 6 places! Don't keep any of them!"
If you really follow what Zhang Yuan said and sell them one by one, you will definitely make more money the more you sell them.
Definitely not!
These companies are already thinking about getting GPL quotas, and they can't persuade them to leave now. So they might as well take advantage of the fact that the price of GPL quotas is not very high and sell them all at once.
I’m making more money now, but won’t I have to make more money in the future?
It’s the lesser of two evils, and since you’re both making money, you must choose the plan that makes less money.
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Sell them all? Then it will be difficult to expand if you want to expand in the future, Mr. Pei."
"Moreover, if so many places are released at once, the price of each place must be lowered, which is not very cost-effective."
The more teams there are in the league, the denser the schedule. Sixteen teams means that there may only be one or two days off a week, and there are games at other times.
This is an unimaginable thing for the current e-sports circle.
Most games don't even have leagues. Even if they do, there may only be five or six teams fighting back and forth.
GPL is good, but it will have 16 teams right from the start?
A bit unnecessary, right?
Zhang Yuan believes that it is best to play with 12 teams, and add one more every year in the future. This is the choice to maximize benefits.
Pei Qian was resolute: "Don't think about the future, sell all the places now!"
Zhang Yuan: "Then...what's the base price?"
Pei Qian thought for a while: "There is no reserve price, whatever is bid is the price."
Zhang Yuan was stunned: "Mr. Pei, then we have to extend the deadline, right? After all, we didn't mention the quota for selling GPL before. Now that it's suddenly going to be sold again, we have to give everyone a few days to prepare, right?"
Pei Qian was silent.
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
I didn't originally plan to sell the GPL quota, but since the longer the delay, the higher the selling price, it is definitely better to sell it as early as possible. It is best to sell it at a low price when no one realizes that this thing is valuable.
In this way, there will be fewer pitfalls in the future.
"Then we will give you three days. The bidding will begin in three days. The GoG branches of these three clubs will bid together with the remaining 6 GPL quotas!"
"Whatever we sell is what we sell, and we will never raise the price ourselves!"
