Create a great era of e-sports

"Principal Liu, Principal Lu, and Yan Ju, gentlemen, please take your seats."

Mo Yu had been waiting in the private room for a long time. When Yan Kai came with someone first, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"please!"

"Thank you, Mr. Mo!"

The three of them thanked each other and sat down in four directions. Upon seeing this, Mo Yu immediately called the waiter to serve the food.

At the dinner table, the four of them chatted happily.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of rice, it felt like time was almost up, so Mo Yu said what he meant.

"Two principals, I should tell you the specific details of the matter, right? What do you think?"

President Liu of Beijing University is named Liu Wenyun. He is relatively young, in his forties or fifties, with black hair and firm skin. He participated in the Jingzhou Cup last time.

The principal of Nongda University is Lu Lin. He is older than Liu Wenyun and has never participated in the Jingzhou Cup.

When the two of them saw him asking, they both lowered their cups and set their chopsticks. They looked at each other, both wanting the other to speak.

Mo Yu didn't ask any questions when he saw this, and just continued: "To be honest, Beijing University and Agricultural University have always been the most popular schools among students in Jingzhou. Their teaching style is also very open and inclusive; they have strong teachers and strong professional strength. , famous throughout the country.”

"I believe both of you are aware of the situation of e-sports in Jingzhou, especially Principal Liu. You have personally participated in the Jingzhou Cup, so I believe you should have more feelings about it. E-sports competitions are very popular among young people, especially college students. , now many universities in Jingzhou have established e-sports clubs, and hundreds of universities in China have also done the same."

"If Peking University and Agricultural University can stand up and be a pioneer, it will be of great benefit to the school. It will not only attract students but also increase the school's reputation. The benefits are huge!"

Mo Yu laid out the horses and horses and explained the stakes.

With the current level of attention that e-sports has received among young people, if Beijing University and Agricultural University can take the lead, there will naturally be many benefits. The two principals naturally agree, but they also have concerns.

Liu Wenyun was a little better and nodded frequently.

Lu Lin from the Agricultural University shook his head and said: "Mr. Mo, you don't need to say good things about the school. E-sports competitions are said to be competitions, but they are actually games. Of course I can clearly see the pros and cons, but I always believe that playing games is okay, but you must It’s not good for the school to stand up and express its support, so I’m sorry.”

Mo Yu's expression froze when he heard this, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Lin refused directly.

Yan Kai, who had been sitting on the side silently drinking tea and not talking, saw the situation and tried to persuade him: "Principal Lu, your opinion is a bit biased. E-sports is not a game. Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a very demanding competitive sport. , now our Jingzhou officials are strongly supporting the development of the e-sports industry, why not open the door to facilitate it?"

Lu Lin still shook his head.

"Cities need economic development, but campuses are places for teaching and educating people. I am not saying that I look down on e-sports, but I really feel that it is unnecessary to promote this thing too much. It would be better to let nature take its course."

Mo Yu understood.

Lu Lin's point of view should be a neutral point between support and non-support. Let nature take its course and do whatever others do. If you don't want to be the first, don't expect him to take the lead, and don't think that he will fall behind. Anyway, Develop with the times.

Judging from his attitude, there was no way to persuade him. Mo Yu could only turn his head to look at Liu Wenyun of Beijing University, hoping to hear his opinion.

Liu Wenyun from Beijing University was young and well-maintained. Mo Yu had heard of some of his deeds.

Since taking charge of Peking University, Liu Wenyun has been deeply loved by students. Under his control, Peking University has developed better and better and has been favored by many graduates.

He has always thought about issues from the perspective of a young man. He is open-minded about many things. He is not old-fashioned and can accept new perspectives. He saw the end of the Jingzhou Cup last time and did not leave midway. Xi, Mo Yu felt that he should have a better chance of persuading him.

Mo Yu thought about it and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Liu Wenyun spoke first.

"Mr. Lu, I don't quite agree with your point of view."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lu Lin didn't know what he meant.

Liu Wenyun said: "The times are developing, and schools must also develop. I think sometimes we have to dare to take the first step. I wonder if you have personally understood the image of e-sports in the eyes of students?"

"No." Lu Lin hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head: "But is it necessary to understand? Isn't it just an online game?"

"You... it's not as simple as a game." Liu Wenyun shook his head and sighed: "E-sports competitions have great potential for development!"

He turned to look at Mo Yu: "Mr. Mo, you said you visited the e-sports clubs of major universities some time ago? In fact, I also personally learned about the e-sports club of Beijing University!"

"Oh?" Mo Yu said with great interest, "I wonder what you think?"

Liu Wenyun said: "The Jingda E-Sports Club was established not long ago, not long after the Jingzhou Cup was held last year. At that time, the influence of the Jingzhou Cup was unprecedented in Jingzhou City, and everyone knew about it. , I was invited to participate and was greatly shocked.”

“Although the Peking University E-Sports Club was established only a short time ago, it has developed rapidly since its establishment. In just a few months, the number of members has jumped to become the club with the largest number of members. It can be seen from this that e-Sports is very popular among students. The level of welcome.”

"Secondly, there is a big difference between e-sports and games. The biggest difference is professionalism!"

"Games can be played by everyone, but e-sports are different and have extremely high requirements for players, so the two must not be equated."

"However, e-sports is based on games, and the game player base is hundreds of millions, right? This means that e-sports may even have hundreds of millions of fans in the future. Such a project with unlimited potential cannot be TAL has even subverted the cognition of people like us, and it is possible that it will become a popular major in many universities."

Liu Wenyun's words surprised everyone present.

Mo Yu didn't expect that he could see such a long-term view. E-sports will indeed become one of the majors in some universities in the future. Many key universities have even opened such a major to cultivate e-sports-related operations, management and other talents. Unlike many People think that is just playing games.

"This Liu Wenyun actually has such a long-term vision, which is extraordinary and incredible!" Mo Yu secretly admired him.

However, Lu Lin didn't agree when he heard this.

"E-sports major? Can games be admitted to university and become a professional course? Is Principal Liu not following an ordinary path, thinking differently from ordinary people, or is he just whimsical?"

Lu Lin's tone was a bit stiff.

Liu Wenyun didn't take it seriously and explained gently: "It's not a whim, it's just an unrealistic projection of the future. I just said it to make everyone laugh."

"If you don't agree, Mr. Lu, just take it as a joke."

After he said this, Lu Lin couldn't say any more strong words and simply said: "Forget it, I'm old anyway and don't want to go into this muddy water. Principal Liu, if you want to cooperate, just cooperate. Agricultural University doesn't want to compete for first place." I don’t need this kind of reputation, it’s enough to do my job well.”

After saying that, he stood up and moved his position. He sat on the edge and stopped talking, obviously a little angry.

When Yan Kai first saw this, he winked at Mo Yu, then stood up and said, "Principal Liu, you talk to Mo Yu. You drank too much. I'll go and enjoy the river breeze with Mr. Lu to sober up." After that, he Walked to Lu Lin's side.

Mo Yu and Liu Wenyun were left alone at the table.

Seeing this, Mo Yu sighed and said helplessly: "It seems that Mr. Lu is not very happy."

Liu Wenyun shook his head and laughed: "Maybe what I just said was a bit deviant, but those words are indeed my true thoughts. It is not necessarily true that there may actually be an e-sports major in the future."

"Forget it if Mr. Lu is not interested. Mr. Mo, I have a lot of ideas about the college league you mentioned. Can you listen to your plan?"

"Of course." Mo Yu smiled, and then gave a rough explanation about the college league. After that, he asked: "If Beijing University is willing to participate, then I will donate a sum of money to Beijing University. At the same time, this year's college league will The venue for the finals will also be set at Peking University. I wonder what President Liu’s wishes are?”

Liu Wenyun was surprised when he heard this: "More than three hundred colleges and universities? Are they really of such a scale?"

Mo Yu is very sure: "There will only be more, and the future is even more difficult to predict."

"With so many colleges and universities participating, if they can all be mobilized, it will definitely be a super event among colleges and universities. Holding a college league is indeed a good choice!" Liu Wenyun thought for a few seconds: "There are pros and cons to this matter, but in my opinion The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Students from hundreds of colleges and universities across the country gather at Peking University, which will greatly help the reputation of Peking University. It can also further strengthen Peking University’s reputation among young people, which will be very beneficial to the future. I think we We can talk about it in detail.”

"Of course!" Mo Yu said with a smile: "As long as the college league can be held, you can make any request that is not excessive."

"Well, I happen to have some ideas in my mind. If we reach a cooperation, Moyu Company is willing to sponsor a fund to assist Peking University. In addition, it can also accept Peking University graduates to come for internships, as long as they match the majors, how about it?"

The student employment rate has always been one of the major problems for many universities, even for schools like Beijing University. However, compared with those poor schools, Beijing University hopes that the company it cooperates with will be a large company.

Although Moyu Company has not been established for a long time, it is a famous name in the gaming industry. It has good salary, good benefits, and a promising future for the company. All these advantages have made it favored by applicants in the recruitment market all year round.

Students majoring in game design, computer science, art, broadcasting and hosting, and other game-related majors will probably be very happy if Beijing University students can join it as an intern after graduation.

What's more, Mo Yu is willing to donate money, which is perfect!

When Liu Wenyun heard this, he had no objection and immediately smiled and said: "It's all right!"

“Peking University has a long history of being an academic institution and is good at accepting and learning innovative things. This has been the case for centuries of development from ancient times to the present.”

"Since e-sports is now very popular among young people, and Mr. Mo has given such good conditions, then Beijing University will not fall behind. It just so happens that we have a century-old lecture hall at Beijing University, which occupies a huge area and has two floors of seats. Qian, how about it be used as the venue for the finals?"

The new subscriptions in the past two days have been cut in half, which is really heartbreaking, so uncomfortable~
