Lin Yan has understood a truth since he was a child - there is no free lunch in the world.
When a stranger shows kindness to you, he most likely has a plan for you. The more sweetness he gives you, the more he wants from you.
Previously, Mr. Luo wanted to expel Lin Yan from the team and suppress him into a useless person, but today, Mr. Luo apologized to Lin Yan. Not only that, he also gave Lin Yan such a valuable gift, which showed that he had ulterior motives.
Although the watch on his hand was very expensive and would definitely make a big splash if he wore it, Lin Yan restrained his inner greed and gently put the watch back on the table.
"Mr. Luo, I cannot accept such an expensive gift." Lin Yan decisively refused.
Mr. Luo chuckled, as if he had known that Lin Yan would decline. He waved his hand in a smart way and said, "I never care about money when making friends. Just accept this gift. You're welcome!"
Faced with Mr. Luo's sugar-coated bullets, Lin Yan remained calm. He still did not accept the expensive gift, but said to the point:
"Mr. Luo, although I am young and do not have such a long life experience as you, I am not a fool. I know that you must have something to do when you come to me today. Otherwise, you would not apologize to an unknown person like me.
Give me this watch worth 170,000 yuan, right?"
"This..." Mr. Luo chuckled and did not answer directly.
Lin Yan continued: "You are a businessman, and a successful businessman. Businessmen do things with calculation, and will never do business at a loss. Even if the prices of these three watches are not a lot of money for you,
But it’s not a small amount anymore. You’re willing to spend hundreds of thousands on us, which means that what you want me to do will definitely bring you more profits, right?”
Hearing Lin Yan's calm analysis, Mr. Luo's face finally showed a trace of embarrassment.
He didn't answer, but his silence was equivalent to acquiescing to this matter.
At the critical moment, Du Yushi stood up and said: "Lin Yan, I know you are an upright person, but the world of adults is often complicated, and there are calculations everywhere. You may not understand what Mr. Luo did today.
, but maybe I’ll understand in the future…”
After hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly realized that his judgment was not wrong. Du Yushi had a purpose for asking him out today, and Mr. Luo had something else to ask for.
Jingzhe and Awei also looked at each other, both feeling that this meal was not that simple.
Lin Yan was too lazy to discuss the world of adults and the world of minors with Du Yushi. He just asked straightforwardly: "Let's open the sky and talk openly. What do you want me to do? Or... what do you want?
What do you want our Revenge team to do?"
Du Yushi said nothing, but Mr. Luo said straightforwardly:
"Okay, Lin Yan, I have known for a long time that you are a smart man. Since you have guessed it, I won't beat around the bush with you. My purpose is very simple, that is, our Daimo team wants to win the TGA Grand Prix championship.
Get a spot to advance to KPL!"
"oh?"
After hearing this, Lin Yan finally understood.
The implication of this sentence is that Team Revenge will definitely lose to Team Daimo in the knockout round.
The next knockout round is also a battle between eight and four. Team Revenge’s opponent happens to be Team Daimo, but currently, Team Daimo definitely has no hope of winning.
If Mr. Luo wants to win the TGA Grand Prix and advance to the KPL, he must first win the Revenge team.
When he couldn't win through regular competition methods, he thought of evil ways.
Bribery is the safest way to combat match-fixing.
After Lin Yan figured this out, Jingzhe and A Wei also understood it.
Jingzhe couldn't help but frown and said: "So, Sister Yushi, are you planning to use this method to let our Revenge team lose in the knockout round?"
A Wei was even more indignant and said: "Okay, your Dai Mo team just wants to win the TGA Grand Prix championship in this way of spending money, right?"
Faced with the scoldings from Team Revenge, Mr. Luo and Du Yushi not only did not feel a trace of shame, but also remained calm.
Mr. Luo smiled and said: "Children, you are still young and do not understand the dangers of society. After you grow up for a while, you should know that society is complicated. TGA Grand Prix, various teams compete
It’s not just the strength of the team, but also the factors off the field. This is a competition of comprehensive quality..."
"What is the overall quality? Which team has more intrigues? More means? More money?"
Lin Yan couldn't help but said in a deep voice,
"Mr. Luo, according to your logic, in the future there will be no competition at all in the TGA Grand Prix. The teams will just spend money on each other, and whoever has more money will win the championship."
Jingzhe also said: "That's right, the TGA Grand Prix is an e-sports event. Since it is a competition, the first principle is fairness... If every team uses such small tricks in private, how can the game be fair?
"
Mr. Luo waved his hand and said casually: "What is fair and unfair? This society has never been fair. This society has always only valued results. All I want is a result, the result of a TGA Grand Prix champion."
"So even if this championship is not glorious and you bought it through such dirty means, you don't care, do you?" Lin Yan asked sharply.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Luo really didn't care. He smiled coolly and said, "Of course I don't care. I said, I only care about the results. I only want a TGA Grand Prix champion!"
The Revenge trio were simply shocked by Mr. Luo's shamelessness.
Jingzhe couldn't help but whispered: "You too...you are too shameless."
At this time, Du Yushi stood up and said: "Three of you, let me tell you a simple truth. Do you know how our Daimo team...or most of the teams make money?"
"Profit?" Lin Yan and the others were startled. They were currently paying more attention to the technical tactics and combat styles of each team, and had not thought about business.
After all, for them, what they focus on is the core of e-sports-that is, the 5V5 battle of Honor of Kings.
But for Du Yushi and Mr. Luo, what they focus on is the team's profit. In their eyes, Team Daimo is just a money-making machine, a money tree.
At this time, Du Yushi continued: "In addition to the bonuses from various events, the more important thing for the team to make money is the team's popularity and exposure. Only with the popularity and exposure of the team can it be popular and have fans.
They spend money so that the father of the sponsor can contact them and get some suitable advertisements...these are the most important source of income for the team."
After listening to Lin Yan and the others, they suddenly realized that these things were something they had never paid attention to.
At this time, Mr. Luo continued: "Currently, the Daimo team is only a secondary team, and it only participates in competitions such as TGA that no one pays attention to, so the profitability of this team is also very poor."
Lin Yan suddenly said after hearing this: "So as long as you win the TGA Grand Prix and come to the KPL, Team Daimo's exposure will increase and its profitability will also increase?"
"Yes." Mr. Luo nodded and said, "So for me, it is very important for Team Daimo to be upgraded to KPL. For this goal, I can pay a lot..."
Having said this, he once again pushed the three watches on the table to the three people from the Revenge team, and then said, "You three are my friends and the opponents of the Daimo team in the next game, so I will make it clear -
You can make conditions, but if you don't like these three watches, I can give you other material rewards, which must be more than the championship bonus of the TGA Grand Prix!"
Du Yushi also followed up and said: "Actually, Lin Yan, your ReveGA Grand Prix championship is useless because you are a freely formed team. Even if you win, you are not qualified to be promoted to the KPL league..."
Mr. Luo immediately said: "So, you three kids, why don't you take this opportunity to make a deal with me that will make you a sure profit without losing any money?"
