Create a great era of e-sports

"Oh, can you play? Can Xerath assist?"

"Watch the damage, okay?"

"Is this my pot?"

In a long-awaited ranked game, Mo Yuzeras assisted the super god in the bottom lane, but in the end he lost the game 4-on-5 due to AD hanging up. As a result, he was scolded by a dog after the game, which was simply unbecoming of a man.

At this moment, Yang Qiu pushed open the door and entered.

"Mr. Mo, did you lose?"

As soon as he saw Mo Yu's angry expression, Yang Qiu couldn't help but want to laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Mo Yu glared fiercely: "I have been busy for a year, the meetings are over, and the company is going on annual vacation. I finally found time to get ranked. What's so funny?"

"Not smiling, not smiling."

Yang Qiu quickly shook his head and lowered the corners of his mouth.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

Mo Yu put away the game, turned around and asked.

"Preparations for next year's college league are almost complete. Please sign it and implement it directly after the year." Yang Qiu handed over the document.

Mo Yu reached out and took it.

The response to the college league in 2008 was very enthusiastic, and college students were very enthusiastic about participating. The college star program held together also trained a group of people. Among them, several senior students with outstanding performance have officially joined Moyu Company and become part of the competition department. elements.

For this competition, Mo Yu will continue to hold it.

Although the college league does not make money and its influence is far less than the World Championship, the three major cups, and the league, the college league is cultivating the future.

"The response was good last year. Several universities took the initiative to contact the company and offered to provide venues as the venue for the 2009 competition. Several previous sponsors also expressed their intention to continue sponsoring." Yang Qiuhui reported.

Mo Yu read the documents and listened to the report.

A few moments.

"Let's just follow this plan. The College Star Program will continue, and the sponsorship price can be raised."

"Understood." Yang Qiu nodded: "Compared to last year, this year's advertising quotation has increased by 20%."

"Do the sponsors have any objections?" Mo Yu raised his head and asked.

"No." Yang Qiu shook his head and said: "Everyone who pays attention to e-sports knows that the influence of e-sports continues to increase. At this time, they will not give up and will definitely embrace our thighs."

Mo Yu nodded when he heard this.

Several companies that sponsored college leagues last year relied on the influence of college leagues to enter the college student market.

One of the companies initially made OEM earphones, but later took advantage of the college league to launch a pair of beautiful-looking and cheap earphones specially designed for college students. It immediately made a turnaround and gradually became popular in the industry. fame.

It is written in the document that this year the company will continue to increase advertising investment.

There are also Huajia advertisements.

The sales volume of the ‘E-Sports Light’ notebook contributed by college students is not small, and we will definitely continue to sponsor it this year.

I heard that they are planning to launch several products one after another under the banner of affordable e-sports customized for college students.

"Let's arrange it like this. Last year's price was already low enough, so adding 20% ​​is nothing. Just make an appointment with the company to sign the contract then, and you can make the arrangements."

"Okay, I'll contact you."

Yang Qiu nodded: "Then there is the Jingjie Center. The construction progress is already over halfway and will be completed in March. Do you want to arrange a ribbon-cutting ceremony then?"

Although the Competition Center was renovated, it is also of great significance. It is the world's first professional venue built specifically for professional e-sports competitions.

Taking this into consideration, Mo Yu thought about it and thought that the ribbon-cutting ceremony could be held.

"Let's make some arrangements. You can draw up a list of invitees and I'll call you personally to inform you. There's also something else. There will be a land auction after the year. Then you can go with me and notify the finance department to prepare a batch of funds."

"Land auction?" Yang Qiu was stunned when he heard this, and frowned: "Does the company want to do real estate? Mr. Mo, I have to remind you that real estate prices have plummeted seriously this year, and we are a game company and have little experience in developing real estate."

"Don't think too much." Mo Yu waved his hand: "I have no interest in real estate. The reason why I participated in the land auction is to build a headquarters building. Now the company has many employees, office space is in short supply, and there are game servers to be installed and built. The sooner the headquarters building is built, the better.”

"The sharp drop in land prices this year is the best time. After a while, when the market recovers, more funds will be invested."

"I see."

Yang Qiu understood immediately.

As the company develops and grows, there are more and more employees. Not only the "Gods and Gods" project, but also hundreds of people in Lava and Valve, as well as the competition department, plus the servers and employees from other departments, etc., every year in The amount of money invested in this area is not a small amount.

The current office space of Huamao Building is completely insufficient.

The company had to separate some departments, and various departments could not work together.

Just like Lava Studio, although it is also located in the Huamao Building, it is separated by several empty floors from the headquarters above. Valve Studio is in another building, and the game servers are further away.

It has become imperative to build the headquarters building.

Not only can it provide more office space, it can also bring companies together to facilitate office work, and it is also a symbol of strength.

But Yang Qiu was also a little worried.

"Having said that, I heard that many real estate companies will participate in the land auction. Can we get a good piece of land? If the location is too bad, it may not be appropriate."

"Don't worry." Mo Yu said: "I didn't tell you about this matter. In fact, the big leader personally took the lead. I have already taken care of the land affairs bureau. I will make arrangements then. It shouldn't be There will be problems.”

"That's good." Yang Qiu thought for a while: "In that case, during the Chinese New Year, I will prepare an extra gift for the cultural bureau to express my feelings."

"It should."

Mo Yu smiled.

Yang Qiu has a clear grasp of human relationships. He keeps all the big and small people in Jingzhou in mind and always sends something during the holidays. It is not illegal but also shows his sincerity, which is very good for the company's foothold.

Mo Yu was very satisfied with Yang Qiu's work ability.

Thinking of this, he suddenly said: "Yang Qiu, after the new year, it's time for you to move your position."

"What's the meaning?"

Yang Qiu was suddenly startled and suspected that he had not done his job well, so Mo Yu wanted to demote him.

"Don't worry." Mo Yu stood up and walked to him, patted Yang Qiu on the shoulder and said: "I am going to separate the e-sports business and set up another company to manage and prepare all e-sports projects under the company. Then go over there and help me manage it."

Games are the foundation, the golden egg for making money, and the foundation of e-sports. Mo Yu must firmly grasp it.

However, the development of e-sports events cannot be achieved by one person alone. The investment is so large that it requires the efforts of everyone to continue to develop and grow. Therefore, accepting external investment is unavoidable.

Mo Yu had already had this idea.

Moreover, he has also negotiated with Lao Ma. When the new company is established, Lao Ma will invest money in it. Several other investment companies have also contacted them, such as Sequoia Capital and Nanshan Capital, which have invested in Moyu Live Broadcast. There is also a lot of interest there and they have great ideas about the e-sports project.

It's just that the specific conditions haven't been agreed upon yet.
