Lin Yao is thinking about commercialization issues.
And she hasn't come to a conclusion yet.
Zhang Jianghu’s phone number came first.
Lin Yao was not surprised and answered the phone.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin, for your offline competition is a great success."
As soon as the call is connected.
Zhang Jianghu said enthusiastically on the other end of the phone: "I watched the whole event live, and I have to say that Linmu Studio is really professional, with a perfect combination of CG and music. When the teams entered the venue, even I, who don't play games,
Everyone has goosebumps all over their bodies. I am still thinking about the situation at the scene. Your studio is really amazing. I just arrived at the company and received the news. Overseas viewers watched the live broadcast and were also very satisfied.
, many people even said they regretted not going to the scene."
"That's also thanks to Reflecta."
Lin Yao replied politely.
Businessmen like Zhang Jianghu.
You said you were very excited and Lin Yao still believed you.
But it was the next day.
He also said he was very excited.
That's a lie.
really.
"But the event was a success, and troubles came one after another."
Zhang Jianghu suddenly changed the subject, sighed, and said: "For example, I just received a lot of calls here, saying that they wanted to cooperate in sponsoring the event. They were not so enthusiastic at first, but now that they see the success of the event, they are more interested
got engaged."
Lin Yao smiled and asked: "Mr. Zhang doesn't want other event sponsors to appear, right?"
"...You also know that Reflecta's situation is currently in a critical period."
After a brief silence, Zhang Jianghu said sincerely: "Besides, the competition has been held, there is really no need to add trouble."
Lin Yao responded when she heard the words, then started thinking, but did not give an answer immediately.
I found silence over there.
Zhang Jianghu sighed secretly.
Some regrets.
Mainly because I regret letting go of the ownership of the event.
When it was first decided to hold an offline competition, Lin Yao strongly requested that the ownership of the event be owned by Linmu Studio.
At Reflecta, Zhang Jianghu discussed it with several subordinates.
I felt that the main purpose of the offline competition was to promote Reflecta's graphics cards, and at that time, Linmu Studio's "Breakout" brought a lot of traffic to their graphics cards, so I didn't insist on it.
No one expected it.
Lin Mu Studio is so professional.
In the end, the offline competition will be so successful.
But by the qualifying stage, it was too late for Reflecta to regret it.
Now Linmu Studio has the right to exclude all interference from others in the event.
"Mr. Zhang isn't calling just because of this, is he?"
Lin Yao was silent for a long time, and finally did not give a clear answer, but changed the topic.
"And one more thing."
Zhang Jianghu paused and could only change the topic. He couldn't explicitly ask Linmu Studio to follow his own requirements. The two parties were in the honeymoon period. He didn't want to quarrel with each other or even make enemies with Linmu Studio, otherwise AIB
Taking advantage of the situation, he cried without knowing where to go.
"It's mainly about the competition. It is foreseeable that this Breakout Challenge will be a great success. After watching last night's opening match, overseas audiences were very interested and expressed their hope to hold a Breakout at their doorsteps.
Challenge...and we at Reflecta also have the same idea, so does Mr. Lin have any intention? We at Reflecta will host a breakout challenge overseas, and we will handle the entire process. We will provide both the venue and the prize money. Your studio
We only need to grant authorization and then provide certain technical support, such as promoting events in the game and making stickers for overseas participating teams... Of course, we will also try our best to promote the game, which is a good thing for "Breakout", no matter from any aspect
That's the case, and the most obvious benefit is that it can significantly increase the popularity of the game overseas. What do you think?"
"...No, just hold the Breakout Challenge overseas."
Lin Yao did not hesitate and immediately rejected Zhang Jianghu. Although she was not a professional in this field, she knew that the reason why TI was TI and the S game was S game was precisely because of its uniqueness and specialness. Now
Holding two breakout challenges in such a short period of time will not do any good for this newly successful event brand.
"This..." Zhang Jianghu seemed to want to persuade Lin Yao.
"but."
Lin Yao interrupted him and continued: "It's a good thing that Mr. Zhang wants to hold an event. In fact, it can be held, but not in the name of a breakout challenge, but in the name of a new event. Mr. Zhang, I don't know if you have listened.
The concept of passing the competition level..."
Lin Yao thought for a while and began to explain to Zhang Jianghu the very special competition system of V Club CSGO-the championship system.
Most e-sports events adopt the traditional sports league system, which is officially led and small leagues are established in different divisions. Everyone plays in their own divisions for a year and a half, and then strives to win the most important championship in the global competition, which is LOL.
set.
But how can V Club, a lazy dog waiting for money from strong winds, put in all the effort to organize a game from start to finish... So they adopt a title cooperation system in CSGO.
Every six months, they will hold a collective meeting with well-known CSGO event organizers, and then everyone will discuss which S-level event will be upgraded to Major. After determining which event will be upgraded to Major, V will announce to the public that the event will be
It is the highest-level event recognized by V Society, and this event will also become the only officially designated highest-level event. V Society sponsors and supports it, and the event will have player commemorative trophies and badges.
Therefore, the Major in CSGO is not an independent event, but a form of sponsorship.
It is the so-called naming cooperation system.
This is a competition system with pros and cons.
The advantage is that there are many competitions, and teams compete all year round, because there are many third-party event organizers, and many second- and third-tier teams also have the opportunity to compete with first-tier teams.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But the disadvantage is that there are too many events, and some teams may need to give up some games.
But this is indeed the most suitable path for Lin Mu Studio at the moment.
If you ask Linmu Studio to follow the path of LOL and adopt the traditional sports league system to replicate any league, it would probably be difficult to lead the establishment of the league. Lin Yao is very self-aware of this.
Of course, Lin Yao does not plan to completely copy the championship system. Now that the Breakout Challenge is so successful, she plans to keep it and make it a top-level event that is independent of the championship system, unique and has its own traffic.
To put it simply, it is a higher-level event than the Major...
After listening to Lin Yao's words on the other end of the phone, Zhang Jianghu opened his mouth slightly, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that Mr. Lin has already thought about the future, so it seems that I am talking too much.
"
"..."
Didn't I just think of it after you mentioned it? What do you mean I had already considered it...
Lin Yao was speechless, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhang, let's discuss whether this competition system is feasible. If so, our studio will provide necessary support and certify your company's events as the first Major level.
competition.”
"Okay, let's discuss it." Zhang Jianghu thought for a while and agreed. They held the event mainly to open up overseas sales of game graphics cards.
"Then let's discuss the sponsors again."
Seeing that he agreed to consider it, Lin Yao immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Event sponsorship is still necessary. For example, in terms of hardware, it can provide a lot of convenience. We can guarantee that we will not accept sponsorship from Reflecta's competing products, but other things like clothing can actually be used.
Let’s talk. This is also conducive to the survival of the team. We can give the team a part of the share and let them promote the sponsor’s brand on their clothing. After all, if the team only relies on event bonuses, it will still be a bit difficult to survive, because the majority of the event bonuses are still the champions.
Take it, and there is only one champion.
But sponsors have many options, and they can even allow popular teams that cannot win the championship temporarily to survive and continue to chase the championship... In addition, Reflecta is also going to hold events, and it definitely doesn't want participating teams to have to rely on bonuses.
Are you coming to participate in the competition? Regularization is the only way for the competition to continue!"
Zhang Jianghu: "..."
So I was waiting here.
…
At the same time, Lin Yao and Zhang Jianghu were discussing issues related to the competition.
Linmu Building.
Board meeting.
Lin Xi sat dignifiedly on the front seat with an expressionless face. She was young and beautiful, which formed a sharp contrast with a group of middle-aged and elderly people in the conference room who were over six months old.
She listened to the seemingly endless debate at the meeting, rubbed her brows, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and said softly: "Okay, we'll discuss the matter about the Futian land next time. If there's nothing else, then
Let’s leave first.”
"etc."
But at this moment, an old man of about half a hundred sitting on the left side, not far from the head of the table, suddenly spoke up and stopped Lin Xi: "I have something else that I want to confirm with the vice president."
"What?" Lin Xi frowned slightly and looked at him.
"Linmu Studio."
The half-century old man reported a name: "I wonder if you read the newspaper? Their games recently held a competition. Not only was it incredibly popular, but it was also recognized by the above. I just took a look at this before attending the meeting.
The financial situation of the studio and the increase in monthly revenue are astonishing!
With such a studio bearing the name of Lin Mu, why do we want to make hardware at the expense of the near and distant? Wouldn’t it be better to directly absorb this studio into Lin Mu Financial Holdings and then transform into an Internet-related enterprise? And now the city is obviously very optimistic about this.
We will be responsible for the competitions organized by our studio, and we can also secure some favorable conditions for LMU Financial Holdings."
As the half-hundred-year-old man spoke, the conference room gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at Lin Xi.
Linmu Studio.
They all know it, and even those who don't know it heard about it this morning.
Lin Xi faced many looks and said calmly: "Because it does not belong to Linmu Financial Holdings, but a private enterprise. Linmu Financial Holdings only owns 1.5% of its equity and does not have any decision-making power."
"Why is it a private company? That's your sister, right? Moreover, the initial investment in this studio was entirely funded by Linmu Financial Holdings. It would be better to say that the establishment of the studio was funded by Linmu Studio and the capital behind Tianhu!
Linmu Financial Holdings was responsible for all the early stage finances, so why does Linmu Financial Holdings only have 1.5% of the equity?"
The half-hundred-year-old man leaned forward slightly and started questioning.
"No reason."
Lin Xi stood up, picked up the written information on the table, and said expressionlessly: "As for the investment, it is even more nonsense. It was the funds borrowed by Linmu Financial Holdings in the early stage, and Linmu Studio has returned all of them.
We have no decision-making power over Linmu Studio, and we have no right to influence the development direction of Linmu Studio. How well they do has nothing to do with us, so this matter ends here."
"You are using power for personal gain! And that's your sister! Why can't you contribute to LMU Financial Holdings!? Now LMU Financial Holdings is about to collapse!"
When the half-hundred-year-old man heard this, he suddenly stood up with an angry look on his face.
"Yes, I just use power for personal gain. Then you go tell your chairman." Lin Xi remained expressionless, "That's still his daughter. If you tell him to let his younger daughter contribute, you will see how he will reply to you.
.”
"You!" The half-hundred-year-old man blushed.
"Okay, don't be like a dog. When you see others doing well, you want to pounce on them just like you see shit. No matter how well they do, it has nothing to do with you. Linmu Studio's help to Linmu Financial Holdings
It’s already huge, and the fact that the graphics card got off the ground is all thanks to Linmu Studio, so you’d better think hard about how to do your part.”
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he turned around, leaving behind a room full of middle-aged and elderly people, and was about to leave.
But go to the door.
She suddenly thought of something again, stopped suddenly, turned her head slightly, and said softly: "By the way, don't have any thoughts about Lin Mu Studio, let alone harass Lin Yao. If you dare, then I dare too."
