Xu Yiyang wants to engage in team competitions, not to make money, but to enhance the popularity of Internet cafes among college students.

Moreover, e-sports competitions have not yet begun to sprout, and if you do it early and cut into it early, you may have a lot to do in the future.

This college CS team competition is regarded as a practice work.

So, Xu Yiyang asked them, "Are you interested in setting up a formal CS team?"

The man said: "Yes, yes, but it doesn't seem to be very interesting, because I haven't heard of any other teams, and there are no competitions, so whether a team is formed or not, in fact, a few of us play casually." ”

Xu Yiyang immediately said: "Our Internet café will be officially opened soon, and we are going to hold a city-wide college student CS team competition in October, if you set up a team, you can sign up!"

"Really?" the man asked in surprise, "What are the prizes for your competition?"

Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "There is no registration fee, but we should limit the participating teams, tentatively each university can only have a maximum of three teams to sign up, as for the reward, the champion team will be at least more than 5,000 yuan, the runner-up more than 3,000, the third place more than 2,000, and there may be some discounts from our Internet café, such as stored value cards and the like." ”

Xu Yiyang just casually set a simple rule, the reason why he wanted each school to limit the number of applicants was that he was afraid that if there was no limit, and there was no registration fee, he would sign up for a team to participate in the competition if he would use the mouse, which would be too watery.

As for the bonus, Xu Yiyang doesn't know how much the prize money is appropriate for the competition this year, but he just roughly calculates that if there are five people in a team, if he wins the championship, one person can have a thousand yuan, which should still be very attractive to college students now.

Sure enough, as soon as the man heard the amount, he immediately said excitedly, "Really? That's great!

At this stage, I haven't heard of the Internet café that holds CS competitions, after all, CS has only been out for three or four months.

Moreover, according to everyone's experience, there are really few competitions that give rewards and do not require registration fees.

This is mainly because running a competition is actually a business in itself.

For example, in the past few years, every city likes to hold singing competitions, and it is easy to incite thousands of people to sign up, and each person has dozens of registration fees, and there is no substantial reward for winning the ranking in the end, it is nothing more than a thousand or two thousand yuan bonus, and then find a local TV station to expose it, and basically there will be no other rewards.

Therefore, after such a competition, the organizer will not lose a small amount of money just from the registration fee.

Not to mention this kind of singing competition, even the billiard hall has to charge an entry fee for an amateur competition.

However, in Xu Yiyang's view, any competition that relies on registration fees to make money will definitely not be big.

The real competition relies on fully mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm and making the fame of the competition as big as possible, so the early cost is naturally responsible for itself, and the profit point in the later stage of the competition is not on the participating teams, but on the advertising sponsorship.

Subsequently, Xu Yiyang exchanged contact information with them, and the person led by him was named Guo Peng, who was the one with the best skills and the best awareness in their temporary team, and he could be regarded as their captain.

Xu Yiyang told Guo Peng that if the competition started to sign up, he would reserve a place for him, hoping that he would go back and think of a name for the team, and then train seriously.

Guo Peng naturally agreed happily, he felt that the strength of his temporary team was still good, and if he trained hard, he should have the strength to win the ranking.

Seeing that the time was not early, Guo Peng said: "Boss, let's go back first, and when you start registering for the competition, you must send me a text message to say it." ”

Xu Yiyang nodded, sent them to the door, and hurriedly said to the others: "After the Internet café opens, we must prepare well and do this game seriously!"

Although everyone doesn't know the benefits of the competition, since Xu Yiyang said it, everyone naturally has no opinions, waiting for Xu Yiyang's instructions.

Xu Yiyang immediately divided the labor again, and asked Zhao Xin to find an advertising company to design promotional materials, such as flyers, posters, and competition logos, and asked Chen Meng to take others to distribute flyers in colleges and universities at that time, and let Shen Lele be responsible for registration at that time.

As for Xu Yiyang himself, he is responsible for the formulation of the rules of the competition system.

At the same time, he also plans to add ten more computers to be placed on the second floor, and when the time comes, the second floor will be used as the competition venue.

Although Xu Yiyang had never had a similar race before, he had never eaten pork and had seen a pig run, so after some research, he worked out a set of rules for the event.

First of all, the registration team must be a local college student team of China Shipping, and Xu Yiyang does not want to have too much contact with them;

Secondly, the total number of registered teams is 64, and the 64 teams are divided into 8 groups for the group stage. Xu Yiyang believes that it is very easy to get together 64 teams without a registration fee and a rich reward.

Again, the rules of the group stage are that in each team, No. 1 vs. No. 8, No. 2 vs. No. 7, No. 3 vs. No. 6, and No. 4 vs. No. 5, everyone plays a knockout game first, and directly knocks out half of the 64 teams.

Although it seems that there are many teams and the game is long, it is actually eliminated quickly.

For example, under normal circumstances, the CS game is an hour long, and each game counts the freezing time for a total of two minutes, a total of 30 rounds, and in 30 rounds, each team of police and bandits is half.

In order to speed up the group knockout game a little, Xu Yiyang set the game to 24 rounds, with 12 rounds in each half.

The preliminaries can be played in the following two rooms, and each round can be played by four teams and two matches at the same time.

Sixty-four teams, if four teams play at the same time, only sixteen rounds are needed to end the first round.

If it's a weekend, play eight rounds a day, and two days is enough to finish.

There are 32 teams left in the first round, with 4 teams in each group, and then the second round of group elimination, 4 into 2;

There are 4 teams in the group, and the one with the smallest serial number will play against each other, and the remaining two teams will play against each other.

In this way, 8 groups played a total of 16 games.

These 16 games are still played in two rooms at the same time, so only 8 rounds need to be played.

Eight rounds can be played from Monday to Friday, starting at 7 p.m. every night, playing two rounds a day, and you can finish it before the weekend.

After the group is 4 into 2, there are only two teams left in each group.

Immediately after that, it will be the third round of group elimination, where the remaining two teams in each group will play against each other, 2-in-1.

Eight games, two rooms at the same time, four rounds played, and one morning on Saturday is enough.

In this way, there is one team left in each group, and this is the final eight.

The quarterfinals will be drawn by lot, and a total of four games will be played to determine the top four.

In the quarterfinals, a total of four games were played, but two venues were played at the same time, and two rounds could be solved.

In other words, on Saturday afternoon, the Final Four were already out.

In this way, let the semi-finals draw lots on Sunday morning, and then play two games, the two winning teams are ready to play the championship and runner-up battle, and the losing two teams are ready to play the third place battle, which can be done in one morning.

Then, in the afternoon, the first game starts with the third-place race and the second game plays the championship match, so that two weekends plus five days in between can end all the games.

The overall time is calculated, that is, two weekends plus 5 days in between, and the whole process can be completed in nine days.

These nine days did not have much impact on the normal business of the Internet café, it was nothing more than providing 20 machines for the competition, but once the competition became popular among college students, it played a very big publicity role.

As for the rewards of the competition, Xu Yiyang finally decided:

Champion group, RMB cash prize of 6,000 yuan, Internet café team stored value card of 2,000 yuan;

The runner-up group will receive a cash prize of RMB 4,000 and a stored value card of the Internet café team of 1,500 yuan;

The third runner-up group will receive a cash prize of 2,000 yuan and a stored value card of 1,000 yuan for the Internet café team.

In addition, the other five groups in the top eight will receive a cash prize of 1,000 yuan for each group and a stored value card of 500 yuan for the Internet café team.

The cash reward is 17,000 yuan, and the Internet café stored value card reward is 7,000 yuan.

The cost seems to be not low, but when the time comes, students from dozens of universities will know about this competition, which will greatly enhance the reputation of Internet cafes.

As long as this game is held fairly and justly, and a good reputation is accumulated, the business of the Internet café will be very good in the future.

It's a lot of money.

Moreover, Xu Yiyang thinks that if he meets a good team, he will sign directly to the Internet café, as the home team of the Internet café, he can be their agent in the future, and it is also good to engage in the e-sports industry in the future.

Fortunately, after investing in Internet cafes at this stage, there is still about 100,000 yuan left in the profit from reselling military training uniforms, which should be enough to buy 10 better computers and organize activities.

Besides, once the Internet café starts to open and there are profits coming in, there is definitely no need to worry about the capital.

All that remains is to wait for the Internet café to open and immediately start the promotion of the competition to ensure that all universities in China Shipping are aware of the competition and are attracted by the high prize money!

……

On Wednesday, the door of the Internet café was already hanging.

On Thursday, the scalpers got all the documents for the Internet cafes and the tobacco companies' tobacco monopoly licenses were also down, and at the same time, the telecom provided Internet cafes with network access, and the Internet cafes in the new century were already officially open for business.

Xu Yiyang decided to officially open on Friday afternoon.

On Thursday night, he called everyone to the restaurant where Zhao Xin's father invited guests to dinner when he first reported for duty.

In the hotel box, Xu Yiyang took out the prepared shareholder agreement.

When the Internet café was registered, the shareholders had already written everyone's name into it.

Since it is not divisible, the shareholding ratio of the other six people is 14.3%, and Xu Yiyang is 14.2%.

However, the actual distribution principle is to divide the seven shares equally.

The main content of this shareholder agreement is that seven people will set up a general meeting of shareholders in accordance with what Xu Yiyang told everyone before, and the shareholders' meeting will vote on everything, with one vote per person, and Xu Yiyang will have one veto power.

At the same time, the general meeting of shareholders also stipulated that the future development direction and capital allocation will be decided by Xu Yiyang alone.

Everyone had no opinion on this, but they were extremely looking forward to continuing to do things with Xu Yiyang, so everyone signed quickly.

When the agreement was signed, Xu Yiyang said to everyone: "I didn't recommend that you tell your family about our business before, because I don't know how big we can do, but now that the dust has settled, you can report the results to your family, so as to surprise them." ”
