Chapter 907: Zhao Xuming and the Finger Company win over
February 18, Saturday.
Magic City, FV e-sports club.
In the morning, the team members had just woken up.
After eating Moyu takeout, they began to conduct high-end RANK solo queue training. According to the schedule, there will be training matches in the afternoon and evening.
Nearly a month has passed since winning the ioi global finals championship. During this time, the fate of the FV e-sports club has also changed.
First of all, all members were forced by President Pei to arrange a seven-day trip back to the United States to relax.
During this period, Wu Yue also took the team members to visit several old clubs in the United States to communicate, visit and learn.
But it doesn't seem to have a very good effect, and many team members are a little disappointed, because these clubs don't seem to be as formal and well-established as the GPL clubs.
But it’s not bad as a sideshow during the journey.
After returning to China, Wu Yue has been busy with various commercial endorsements, including sponsorships from some digital products, beverages, peripheral manufacturers, and investment intentions from some investors.
FV Club has also transformed from a little-known small club to a popular club, and its valuation has exploded.
Wu Yue already had a small share of the FV club, so he made a lot of money this time.
Originally, Wu Yue's FV club was just for fun and a waste of money. He didn't expect to gain anything from e-sports.
But I never expected that everything would change because of the day Mr. Pei came to the Magic City a few months ago.
Although he gave most of the club shares to Mr. Pei, Wu Yue did not complain at all, because if he continued to hold the club in his hands, he would never be able to bring the club to its current height with his own strength!
And now Wu Yue has not only gained wealth, but also gained fame, realized his dream of playing e-sports, and allowed his team members to win championships in world events. For him, it is already a state where he can wake up from his dreams with a smile.
Of course, Wu Yue knew that as the major shareholder of FV Club, Mr. Pei would definitely earn more.
But Wu Yue would not have any jealousy at all, because based on Mr. Pei's ability, this achievement was easily achieved without any difficulty at all.
Compared with Mr. Pei's income from other industries, this income is definitely a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning, right? I don't think Mr. Pei would take this small amount of money seriously.
After the club received a large amount of sponsorship and made money, Wu Yue also changed the club's training base so that both the first and second teams could have a better living and training environment.
He deliberately chose a villa with Moyu takeout and a managed gym nearby, and considered all conditions to get as close to President Pei as possible. After all, the GPL situation had proven that this was the best training model.
Moreover, it has recently been the period when Tenda Group's industry has expanded to the imperial capital and the magical capital. Moyu takeout, Moyu Internet cafes, and managed gyms have all opened, which has made Wu Yue's location selection much less difficult.
Since the FV team crushed the championship and won the championship, there has been an endless stream of teams coming to the FV team to play training matches.
Because the FV team represents the highest level of gaming in the entire ioi, both in terms of tactics and personal strength, it is the best, and training against this kind of team is the most helpful.
And not only the FV first team, but also the FV second team and even Ding Gan’s SUG team, the training matches are basically full.
The FV first team's training matches are too difficult to schedule. There are only two or three games every day, so many clubs have turned their attention to the FV second team and SUG.
These two teams were the sparring partners of FV’s first team during the World Championships, and their strength must not be underestimated!
They must have mastered some of the tactical details of the FV first team, and their various playing styles will definitely be closer to those of the FV first team. In addition, their personal strength is not bad, and training with them will have good results.
Many people even think that the real strength of the SUG team and the FV second team may be stronger than the runner-up team in the ioi global finals.
Wu Yue did not refuse. After all, FV Club still wanted to join the ioi e-sports circle, so it could not completely close itself off and not communicate with the outside world.
The global finals are over, and the entire version of the game will definitely undergo major changes. By the time the next version comes, most of the tactics currently mastered by the FV team will be eliminated.
Therefore, there is no need to be self-conscious and self-isolated.
In fact, Wu Yue has not yet thought clearly about the future development of FV Club.
Since returning from the championship, Mr. Pei has not made any calls.
Wu Yue didn't know what Mr. Pei's true attitude was.
In this regard, the club's internal management also held a meeting.
Manager Lu believes that Mr. Pei’s GOG and ioi are in direct competition, and the FV club won the World Championship in the face of Finger Company and Longyu Group. I am afraid that they will inevitably be underestimated in the future.
In this case, we might as well do the opposite and switch the entire club to GOG!
The world champion team just got the trophy and went to compete in other projects collectively. It will be up to the Zhidou Company to show off its reputation.
But Wu Yue felt that it was very inappropriate to do so.
First, FV Club has an interest relationship with Tenda. Like DGE, in principle it cannot participate in official GOG events unless all of Mr. Pei’s shares are removed. This is obviously inappropriate;
Secondly, the FV club has just received a lot of sponsorships and endorsements, including the live broadcast contracts of the team members. All of this money was earned as the "ioi global finals champion". It is always not good to pick up a bowl to eat and put down the chopsticks to curse.
;
Thirdly, the members of the FV Club obviously still prefer ioi, and asking them to go back to play GOG, at least at this stage, is very irresponsible.
Therefore, Wu Yue decided to put this issue aside for the time being, maintain the status quo, and wait for further instructions from Mr. Pei.
Wu Yue was watching the training of the team members. Suddenly, his phone rang.
After seeing the caller ID, Wu Yue couldn't help but be stunned.
It’s Zhao Xuming from Longyu Group!
Wu Yue hasn’t spoken to Zhao Xuming on the phone for a long time, and this is the first time since FV team won the championship. Although I don’t know what Zhao Xuming’s purpose is, if FV team wants to continue to mix in the ioi e-sports circle, it will inevitably have to deal with Longyu Group.
, so Wu Yue picked up the phone immediately.
Zhao Xuming's very kind voice came from the other side of the phone: "Mr. Wu, you're fine! Our championship team has no problems with their daily training recently, right?"
Zhao Xuming took the initiative to express his goodwill. Naturally, Wu Yue did not need to take the previous discord to heart. He smiled and said, "Thanks to Mr. Zhao, everything is fine with the club."
Zhao Xuming said happily: "That's good."
"I heard that the two FV teams have been playing training matches with other domestic clubs? And the training results are good?"
"Mr. Wu never forgets the man who dug the well when he was ready. Even after winning the world championship, he didn't forget to bring his previous brothers to improve together. I really admire this state of mind. Mr. Wu can be called an outstanding representative of domestic e-sports people!"
Wu Yue smiled: "Mr. Zhao is joking, this is all our business."
The two parties exchanged a few words, and both of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the previous unpleasantness. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Zhao Xuming obviously felt that the politeness was enough, so he changed the topic: "Mr. Wu, I'm calling today mainly for two things. The first thing is that Zhitou Company is already preparing to arrange championship skins for your team."
"After all, as the champion of the first global finals, the skin must be outstanding enough! We have also communicated with Zhidou Company and asked them to make more Chinese elements to cater to the players of the Chinese server!"
"The designers from Finger Company have already arrived from the United States, so find a time to bring five of the main team members to my place, communicate with the designers, and provide your design opinions on the champion skin."
"The second thing is about the ioi professional league. The current domestic professional league is named ICL, ioi championship league, which is the 'ioi Champions League'! I specifically requested this name from Zhitou Company, because the FV team is the world champion.
If you are a team, then the division you are in must also be called the championship division!"
"Regarding the ICL quota... Of course, one quota will be given directly to the FV team. In addition, we have also prepared a quota in the A-League for FV's second team."
"The league is currently under active preparation, and a large number of publicity activities will be carried out. I also hope that Mr. Wu can give full support and cooperation."
Wu Yue couldn't help but secretly sigh, this Zhao Xuming seemed to be a different person. He used to be indifferent to him and had a cold attitude, but now he has become extremely kind, almost closer than a real brother.
Of course, Wu Yue also knew that this was human nature. Zhao Xuming was able to put down his dignity and reconcile with the FV Club. This showed that Zhao Xuming was a mature leader and knew not to affect the normal work process with his likes and dislikes.
Although there was still a little bit of reluctance in Zhao Xuming's words, his gesture had indeed gone far enough.
Of course, Wu Yue understood this reluctance very well.
In the eyes of Zhitou Company and Longyu Group, FV Club is an uncontrollable club with natural conflicts of interest. But they happened to win the first global finals, so both parties must cooperate.
Instead of being coy and awkward in cooperating, it is better to cooperate openly and honestly.
After all, Zhitou Company and Longyu Group also very much need the influence of FV Club in the country to help them further promote the ioi national server.
Since everyone is an adult, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Ease the relationship if it can be eased, and there is no need to make things tense.
Wu Yue immediately agreed: "Okay, Mr. Zhao, there is no problem. These are all matters within our club, and we will definitely cooperate fully."
Zhao Xuming was very happy: "Thank you very much, Mr. Wu! There have been some unpleasantnesses between us before. I hope Mr. Wu can understand and not take it too seriously."
Wu Yue also immediately got off the donkey: "Mr. Zhao's words are serious, it's just a little friction, let the past go."
The two ended the call in a harmonious atmosphere.
But the moment he hung up the phone, the smile on Wu Yue's face immediately faded, and he dialed Mr. Pei's number.
This matter must be reported to President Pei as soon as possible!
Zhao Xuming's intention to win over is obvious, and this is definitely not his own decision. There must be instructions from the senior officials of Longyu Group and Zhidou Company behind it.
Should we categorically reject this kind of solicitation, or should we fully accept it?
Wu Yue felt that this might affect President Pei's overall plan, and he had to call to confirm President Pei's true attitude.
