"That's that, ten million dollars!" Exclaimed Effie.

Immediately, she said happily: "It would be great if we could really get so much money by selling skins, and our e-sports competition would definitely become famous in one fell swoop! ”

If it's just to think of a way to make money for Facebook Games, it's not worth Yu Wenfei's time, so the class he wants to take is actually just beginning!

Seeing Effie's satisfied appearance, Yu Wenfei smiled faintly and asked again: "Are you holding this competition just to promote the Facebook game platform?"

Effie winked her eyes, "Uh...... and ...... It can also increase the sales of the game, and indirectly further increase the popularity of Villefort and Blizzard. ”

Yu Wenfei shook his head, "That's all incidental, there is more significance in holding this competition, you haven't dug it out yet." ”

What's more?

This was a bit beyond Effie's comprehension, and she couldn't think of anything more significant in hosting a game competition.

Yu Wenfei didn't feel embarrassed for her, and directly said the answer: "Professionalism and industrialization! E-sports can actually be built into a new industry, and the future of this industry is infinitely bright." Because there are at least 500 million teenagers in the world who love games, and these people are the audience of the e-sports industry! And this new industry will have a direct market capacity of tens of billions of dollars in the future, and the indirect impact of the market will be in trillions!"

Hearing that now, Effie has become numb, and she has completely recognized the fact that the gap between herself and Yu Wenfei is still too far away.

Originally, I was just talking about a game competition today, and what I was thinking about was that the company would pay more money and make the scale of the game bigger, which could be regarded as publicity for the company.

But the same thing, when I arrived at Yu Wenfei, after his simple mention, it was completely different......

The company doesn't have to pay for it out of its own, and the prize money can be increased many times, and there is no upper limit!

What's more, this also adds a profit channel for Facebook Games, and in the future, the company doesn't know how much money it can make by selling skins and boxes!

This is enough to impress Effie, but it's not over yet, Yu Wenfei has sublimated things to the level of "professionalism and industrialization......

It's to completely create a new industry!

Is this how Yu Wenfei thinks?

No wonder everyone is the same age, they are already big bosses with a net worth of tens of billions, and they are still happy for promotions and salary increases.

…………

However, even now, Effie still underestimated Yuwenfei's pattern.

"Have you ever considered setting up the competition venue in the magic city, contacting the publicity department of the city government, and further considering making the magic capital the first e-sports capital in the world!" Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

"Ah...... I...... It can't be, right...... After all, video games are bad in the eyes of many people......" Effie said.

"What's impossible? You don't really think that the authorities are against the game. If you think so, then you are too naïve! Games is a big industry, whether in terms of cultural output or economic considerations, in fact, the state is very supportive of this industry. The reason why online games have been suppressed in recent years is because public opinion is not friendly to the game industry! Facebook Games is now the leader of the domestic game industry, so as the head of the company, you must start thinking about how to reverse the image of the entire game industry in the minds of the public. ”

Yu Wenfei said dryly.

It turns out that he is already so awesome, the leader of the domestic game industry?

Effie was a little overwhelmed.

"It's not very difficult to change the image of esports in the minds of the public. The first step is the professionalism and industrialization I just mentioned. If we can succeed in building an esports industry that allows gaming enthusiasts to become professional esports players, get paid well enough and have a high enough social status.

So, what's the difference between esports and the entertainment industry?

People who sing well can become singers, and there are no parents who oppose their children becoming singers, right?

If you act well, you can become a movie star, and there is no parent who opposes their children becoming movie stars!

In fact, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than everyone thinks that children are addicted to games, which not only delays their studies, but also has no way out in the future.

In this case, let's plan a bright way out for those children who are addicted to games! Let e-sports professional players become stars and earn millions of dollars a year! and even enter the Asian Games and Olympic Games in the future to win glory for the country!"

Yu Wenfei's tone was excited, these things he said will be slowly realized in the future.

If you add his strong push, then the process may be greatly shortened!

This can be regarded as a little contribution to the domestic game industry by him, an old gamer, after all, he has this ability now.

"It solves the concerns of parents, or at least let everyone know that playing games is not undesirable, maybe their children can become big stars in the future, or even win glory for the country by playing games to enter the Asian Games!

Then, when public opinion is reduced, the state will step in to support the industry. The city positioning of the magic city has always been an international metropolis, and the title of the e-sports capital, I think the people of the city government will be satisfied. Yu Wenfei chuckled.

"But...... Improving public opinion is a long-term process, will the city government help us now?" Effie asked, Yu Wenfei's plan is good in the long run, but the actual problem at the moment has not been solved.

That is how to get the approval of the city government now, and incorporate the "e-sports capital" plan into the city government's urban planning!

"That's the second step I'm going to talk about! The tournament we're going to have is a very big esports tournament that could make a splash in the global gaming world. The influence is enough, but after all, the game is more embarrassing in China, and the city government may not dare to take risks, right?" Yu Wenfei said.

Effie nodded repeatedly, yes, that's a key issue, and if the city doesn't approve Facebook's plan to be the "esports capital," it's still a big problem.

"What if you tie an esports tournament to a charity? By selling skins and opening boxes in-game, you can probably get more money than you think. The money is all spent on tournament bonuses, which is a bit too much to be honest, especially at this stage. So, let's take out half of the money from the sale of boxes and skins and use it for public welfare activities! Do you say, will the city government strongly support it! Moreover, will public opinion in society still dare to criticize our game competition?" Yu Wenfei said seriously.

Effie slapped her leg hard with excitement, grinning in pain, this is really a stroke of genius!

Linking e-sports competitions to public welfare, half of every penny spent by gamers is used for charity!

Who would dare to attack this kind of behavior!

And the city government has a fair and honest reason to support Facebook Games.

If you think about it, there's a potential benefit.

If it is not linked to public welfare, then many gamers may have psychological pressure when they pay to open the box.

Because everyone is not used to in-game consumption, the game itself is bought genuine, and now it has to spend money for the skin, and some people may still be a little resistant.

In other words, the kind of college students and high school students who don't have financial resources don't dare to let their parents know about it.

But now, every player will feel at ease and justified when they pay to open the box, I am not for playing games, but for public welfare!

It is conceivable that the players who were still hesitant should not hesitate to open the box now.

And the funds raised by opening the box will increase by several percent!

"You're in this position now, and when you look at things, it's a little bit bigger. Don't be limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place, but learn to make good use of all resources from the perspective of industry, society, and even the world. In the end, Yu Wenfei ended the conversation meaningfully.

………………

After coming out of Yu Wenfei's office, on the way back to the Facebook Game office building, Effie was in a trance.

Today's conversation has too much impact on her!

She recognized her flaws, that is, she was good at the "tactical" level, and she was very good at organizing an event or planning something, and the effect was not bad.

But when it comes to the level of "strategy", it is relatively lacking, just like Yu Wenfei said, the pattern is not big enough, and it is not far enough.

As for Yu Wenfei, it's not at the "strategic" level, everyone thinks about the problem at the "war" level!

I have to work harder, otherwise, I really don't want to take off and always support and trust myself.

Effie sighed and quickened her pace.

………………

"What the hell? How could this be?"

In Seoul, Park Jong-sung, the CEO of the e-sports event company that runs WCG, was stunned.

On the desk in front of him lay two business letters.

They were sent by Facebook Games North America and Facebook Games Continental Headquarters.

In the business letter of Facebook Games North America, it is to inform them that from now on, they will cancel the authorization to operate WCG's game events, including Half-Life, Warcraft, and StarCraft.

This made Park Huicheng thunderous, without these three games, WCG would still play a fart!

While WCG has five or six events every year, the other two or three games are just a bit of a top-notch!

The audience is here for Half-Life, Warcraft and StarCraft, and now that these three games are gone, it is conceivable that WCG is also dead in name.

However, after reading the business letter sent by the mainland headquarters of Facebook Games, Park Huicheng's face changed again, because this is a takeover offer!

Facebook Games is going to buy his company!

Well, the two business letters were put together, and Park Huicheng now understands that he has no choice.
