Looking at the final numbers on the projection screen, Pei Qian sighed silently and said to Zhang Yuan: "After the bidding is over, you take the bosses who have won the quota to eat at the unknown restaurant."
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "What about you, Mr. Pei?"
Pei Qian shook his head: "I won't go, I'm tired."
Zhang Yuan nodded quickly to express his understanding: "Okay, Mr. Pei, just leave it to me!"
Although these people raised the GPL quota very high, which made Pei Qian very angry, the Wuming Restaurant had already prepared it. If they didn't invite them, all the ingredients would be wasted.
Wasting food is definitely a bad behavior.
Therefore, Pei Qian decided to let them eat, but he would no longer participate.
Just think about it and you can imagine what the scene will be like at the dinner table.
If Pei Qian was present, he would definitely be hurt twice, three times, or four times.
Therefore, this matter was left to Zhang Yuan.
As for Pei Qian himself, it is best to go home at this time and think carefully about how to spend more than 100 million.
In line with the principle of whoever makes the money, who spends it, since it is the money collected by the GPL League, it seems to be the best choice to spend it on the GPL League.
But, should we specifically destroy GPL's venues? Strengthen GPL's event promotion? Cultivate the hematopoietic ability of the entire bottom league? Or should we provide these clubs with better training bases?
There are many ways to spend money, and Pei Qian felt that he had to calm down and think carefully, and come up with a plan with the lowest return.
After giving Zhang Yuan a few words of advice, Pei Qian sighed silently, got up and left.
All the bids have been completed, and we are just waiting to formally sign the contract and pay the money later.
Lin Chang stood up immediately and came over to shake hands with Li Shi and exchange business cards.
Other bosses who have taken GPL quotas are also passing business cards to each other to get to know each other.
After all, these people are all respectable people. They are gathered here out of trust in Mr. Pei. They have more or less common friends with each other, so it is logical to get to know each other and expand their social circles.
matter.
What's more, in the future, the GPL league will have to work together, and everyone's interests are the same.
Lin Chang was naturally the most handsome boy among this group of people, and he was surrounded by everyone like stars holding the moon in his arms.
After the greetings were over, Lin Chang looked around and was stunned for a moment: "Hey, where is Mr. Pei?"
I originally thought that Mr. Pei would definitely stay at the scene, but he didn't pay attention and he disappeared?
Zhang Yuan hurriedly explained: "Everyone, Mr. Pei is busy with work, so he left first. However, Mr. Pei has decided to host a banquet for everyone at the unknown restaurant. Please come with me."
Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard that Mr. Pei was gone.
But after hearing the second half of the sentence, smiles appeared on everyone's faces again.
I can go to unknown restaurants to eat again!
I have to say that the nameless restaurant is delicious, but it is also really difficult to make a reservation.
Mr. Pei booked a place in advance to treat everyone to dinner. This is very sincere. Everyone understands that he has no time to accompany us because of his busy work schedule!
Under the guidance of Zhang Yuan, the bosses who had taken the GPL quota were chatting and laughing as they prepared to leave the dge club and go to the unknown restaurant.
Representatives from companies that failed to bid successfully also left.
The managers of the other two clubs looked at each other with ashen faces and looked at Manager Li with anger on his face.
The current situation is 99% the fault of Manager Li!
They were also trying hard to think of countermeasures when bidding, but they couldn't think of any at all.
We have already come this far, what else can we do?
We can only resign ourselves to fate and let others slaughter us.
However, before the two managers had time to settle the score with Manager Li, they saw Manager Li get up first and follow the owner who was bidding for the Gog branch of the Sug Club.
Manager Li was smiling all over his face: "Mr. Fu, I am the manager of the SUG club, and my surname is Li. I see that you took photos of our club's GOG branch and GPL quota. This can be considered a kind of fate."
"Would you like to exchange business cards? I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future..."
As a result, before Manager Li could finish speaking, Mr. Fu interrupted him very politely.
"Manager Li, to be honest, I didn't understand the inside story, so I accidentally took the picture. I originally thought that others would raise the price, but in the end, no one raised the price, so they had no choice but to smash it into my hands."
"I spent more than 10 million and still made Mr. Pei unhappy. I have to find a way to make up for it! Do you think I am at a loss?"
"Manager Li, please don't get the advantage and act well. Pei always did not do anything because of your support for him in the first place. Although he was unhappy, he still gave you an opportunity to buy low and sell high.
"
"As for cooperation, I don't think it's necessary. Sorry, I have to go to Mr. Pei's dinner with everyone. I'll take my leave now."
After Mr. Fu finished speaking, he immediately turned around and took two quick steps to catch up with Zhang Yuan, Lin Chang and others who were almost walking away.
Manager Li opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he was speechless.

November 7, Monday.
The matter of the GPL League quota bidding has been spread on the Internet, and it has quickly become a hot topic and has appeared on the hot search lists of various websites.
"The gog domestic league gpl quota auction set a sky-high price record!"
"The total price is 180 million, will e-sports be the next trend?"
"Shenhua Real Estate won the GPL quota for 26 million yuan and announced its strong entry into the e-sports industry!"
“The list of 16 teams in the GPL League has been revealed online, and Shenhua Real Estate, Jinding Group, Fuhui Capital and other companies are on the list!”
"SUG and three other clubs were expelled from the GPL League!"
Similar messages, one after another.
There is no official hard evidence here, it is all "rumours" and "internal insiders' revelations", but the various information is very sufficient and many sources can verify each other, so it appears to be extremely authentic.
This news soon triggered a heated discussion among netizens!
Most netizens are naturally sensitive to numbers. The two numbers 180 million and 26 million instantly inspired netizens' enthusiasm for eating melons.
The domestic and even global e-sports circles have never heard of such a large number before!
There is no league in the domestic e-sports circle, let alone "league quota". There are only a few clubs in the country. When a competition is held, the organizer is eager to arrange all the registered teams, so naturally there will be no restrictions.
Quota.
As for spending money to buy a quota, it is even more nonsense.
But now, the GPL league has not even started yet, and the number of pure participation places has already reached 26 million, which is an unprecedented first for the domestic e-sports circle.
These companies that participated in the bidding for GPL quotas are all well-known companies in China, which further made the public realize the wealth of the GPL League.
In addition, the news that three clubs including SUG were delisted has also aroused close attention from the melon-eating public.
"It's too scary. If other game organizers want to hold a competition, they have to beg these clubs to participate. Fortunately for Mr. Pei, the GPL league hasn't even started yet, and they have already sold the places!"
"The quota has been sold for 180 million yuan. Isn't it going to be on par with football in the future?"
"On par with football? Are you overthinking it? There is still a long way to go. Even if the quota is 26 million, he is still his younger brother."
"But if you think about it, how long has football been developing? How long has e-sports been developing? Gog has become so popular in less than a year since its birth. If it can be run for three years, five years or even ten years, by then Maybe it can really be compared with football!"
"Have you ever seen any game that can be popular for ten years? Gog is definitely not the same! I think this is another capital-driven trend. It will only be popular for a year or two, and soon it will become uninterested."
"Sug, what happened to those three clubs being expelled? Did something happen?"
"I heard that these three clubs took the initiative to sell the GoG branch, but in the end, it was sold for less than 15 million! No one can tell the specific situation, but they seemed to have offended Mr. Pei... …”
"What do you mean? Is this true? The pure GPL quota was sold for 26 million, but the quota and the entire team were packaged for only 15 million? The value of this team together is minus 10 million?"
"I got a new melon today, saying it has something to do with the standard contract that Mr. Pei wanted to implement a while ago. These clubs didn't want to accept the standard contract, so they joined forces to put pressure on Mr. Pei... As a result, it turns out that they thought too much. , Mr. Pei wishes they could leave and find another richer company to engage in GPL!"
"That's right! It's wrong to use contracts to treat professional players, but Mr. Pei gives them a step down and they still don't know what to do? Anyway, the SUG players are still there, they just changed the team name, and they can also find a better boss. This time I Raise your hands to support!”
"To be honest, the domestic e-sports environment has always been a mess before, just because of these ticket-playing clubs. Now that President Pei has stepped forward to regulate the entire industry environment and protect the interests of players, I am even more optimistic about GPL!"
"Haha, no one in the remaining clubs would dare to do anything under the nose of Mr. Pei..."
The melon-eating crowd had a great time.
Either he is bragging to Mr. Pei that something as difficult as the e-sports league can be easily run by three strokes, five divisions and two divisions;
Or they are discussing these new big investors who have entered the e-sports industry and are infinitely optimistic about the future of GPL;
Or combine what happened before and scold these three clubs.
Even SUG fans were so angry that they posted frantically on the club’s Weibo.
On the one hand, someone else bought GPL quota for 26 million;
On the other hand, these three clubs packaged and sold the GPL quota and the entire GoG division for 15 million.
Tell me, how much cerebral palsy do you need to do something like this?
The key is that SUG Club is scolded by fans and ridiculed by the melon-eating masses, but it cannot refute it or even explain it!
How to explain?
Who could have imagined that it would end up like this?
For people who don't know the truth, they don't know the twists and turns here. They just saw that the SUG club sold GPL quota worth 26 million for 15 million, and also bought the entire branch into it.
But the twists and turns here are impossible to explain.
Because even if they say it, no one will think that the club has been cheated. Instead, they will think that the club's operation is even more cerebral.
Therefore, I can only lie down and let it be laughed at, and I can't even come out to explain.
As for what kind of storm these three club managers will endure after returning, it is unknown.
The only good thing is that they are all still relatively young and it is not too late to change careers now.
…
Inside an office building.
Someone was using their mobile phone to browse the melons recently bid by GPL, while on the computer screen was the investment page of Dream Venture Capital.
He touched the two mustaches on his lips and said to himself: "How can Tengda's reputation be so easy to use? How can the appeal be so strong?"
“It’s like a response!”
"The GPL league hasn't even started yet, and there's no hope of making a profit at all. It's just a blank check, and it has attracted more than 100 million in funds."
"What's even more frightening is that everyone spontaneously boycotted those three clubs. They would rather buy a pure quota for more than 20 million yuan rather than touch the team that bundled sales for 15 million yuan. They just wanted to give the money to Tenda!"
"This is really unheard of."
"It just so happens that Tengda's Dream Venture Capital is investing in corporate enterprises in the society. I applied for it with the mentality of trying my luck, but I didn't expect that I was actually selected."
"With my painting skills, if I get another investment from Tenda, other companies will follow suit..."
"Wouldn't it be possible to emigrate abroad in two or three years and enjoy a comfortable retirement?"
