It wasn't until he started the car and left the toll booth in the parking lot that Ding Junhui revealed the mystery: "On August 9 this year, the Snooker World Open came to China for the first time, and it was held in Shanghai. Although I feel ready, Xu always asked me to meet you before the game and talk to you. ”

I see.

For the Snooker World Open, Yang Lei did not study it in his last life, after all, the industry is too far away.

Ding Junhui has won countless awards, just one short of the Snooker World Open championship, I am afraid this year is his best chance to win the championship, fighting at home in front of his hometown, he should have a good performance.

Yang Lei asked self-deprecatingly: "What can you talk to me about?" I just shook my hand and didn't care about anything. ”

Ding Junhui smiled: "Maybe Xu always wants me to be blessed, everyone says that you have a lucky halo, and even the Korean Baotu can't help you, and you can turn defeat into victory and retreat." ”

This sycophant shot well, Yang Lei smiled: "Haha! If you really have a lucky halo, I will watch your game every day and let you win the championship." ”

"Then I'll keep the VIP ticket closest to the table. ”

The two laughed and were very happy.

It's best not to put pressure on the players before a major competition, Xu Shiwei let the two meet, it should be this reason, so that Yang Lei, the boss, can comfort and comfort the employees.

But ranking is always a topic that can't be avoided, Yang Lei said: "Xiaoding, if you win the championship this time, I'm afraid your world ranking will have to rise again, right?"

Ding Junhui's expression became a little solemn: "I am now ranked second in the world, Selby is first, I seem to have been restrained by him recently, and I won four or six against him, and I am four and six." ”

Yang Lei was surprised: "You seem to be ranked No. 1 in the world last year, right?"

"I was number one in the world the year before last, and I have been in a bit of a bad form for the past two years, and I have been bouncing up and down in the top four. ”

Ding Junhui said very frankly that professional snooker players are like this, and the top players at a super high level are actually about the same, many people can complete 147 in a single stroke, and they all have the strength to win the championship, so winning or losing may be playing on the spot, plus a little luck.

Yang Lei said: "Forget it, I don't put pressure on you, don't think about it, I'll just ask casually." ”

Ding Junhui smiled innocently: "I'm fine." ”

Yang Lei looked sideways at Ding Junhui, who was driving, and added: "If you can't do well in billiards, you can change careers to play games, I heard that you are addicted to Dota and can't extricate yourself." ”

"Hehehe......"

Ding Junhui laughed so much that he almost couldn't hold the steering wheel, he was very embarrassed.

He does like to play video games, and young boys like him, Yao Ming, and Jeremy Lin, most of them like to play video games in addition to the intense sports competition, in order to decompress themselves.

Ding Junhui explained: "I was brought bad by Yao Ming, he called me to play World of Warcraft every day, add his union, and fight Illidan and the Lich King in the next copy." ”

Yang Lei laughed, if Yao Ming heard it, would he vomit blood?

Ding Junhui is not finished, and continues to clear himself: "When I was playing in the United States, Jeremy Lin had to take me to play Dota and the American Battle Net. Mr. Yang, they are all big guys, I don't dare to disobey. ”

Yang Lei couldn't laugh: "Jeremy Lin was also hacked by you, doesn't your conscience feel pain?"

Ding Junhui laughed, he is really addicted to playing games, and he follows the trend, now he likes to play World of Warcraft and Dota, a few years later, he switched to playing League of Legends, or addicted to eating chicken and couldn't extricate himself, so he teamed up with Thomas, Chen Chichi, Lin Gengxin, Lu Han and others to eat chicken.

In a joke, Ding Junhui got off the viaduct directly and drove the car to a Grade A office building near Lujiazui, instead of Fengxian's factory, or directly across the river to his home next to Fudan, Yang Lei still felt strange.

I went around and went into an underground garage.

"It's here. ”

"Where is this?"

"You take the elevator up to the 12th floor. ”

"What's the matter, it's so mysterious, it can't be trying to trick me into passing away, right?"

Yang Lei got out of the car, looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, and felt funny.

Is it a grand party to welcome home?

Ding Junhui didn't even open the car door, lowered the window and said, "I'll help you send your luggage back to the Fengxian factory, this is the instruction I received." By the way, the snooker opener on August 9, you must come to watch my game. ”

"If I was in Shanghai that day, I would definitely go. ”

Waiting for Ding Junhui to drive away, Yang Lei found the basement elevator next to him, bored and looked at the billboards hanging on the wall, many of which were IT companies, media and entertainment, psychological counseling, law firms, and P2P finance.

There are all kinds of types of office buildings, and Shanghai brings together some of the brightest people in the country, and people want to show their strength in this international metropolis and break out of the world.

went up to the 12th floor, with the sound of "ding", Yang Lei was full of curiosity and looked forward to it.

As soon as Yang Lei stepped out of the elevator, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

A muscular, green-skinned, oil-painted, and huge fanged orc, armed with a long knife and carrying a red battle flag, was staring at him and yelling at him.

BladeMaster！

Yang Lei was so frightened that he just stepped out of the elevator and hurriedly retreated.

Juggernaut reached in with a long knife and blocked the door of the elevator, letting out a grotesque laugh.

Yang Lei then condensed and saw that the knife was just a toy plastic knife, indicating that the other party was a COS lover wearing the coat of the Sword Master, especially the white fanged props, which looked quite cute at close range.

"What the hell?"

Yang Lei scolded with a smile and slapped on the other party's arm, and the green-skinned muscles did not sink down.

But how can orcs appear in real society!

"Which company are you?"

Yang Lei asked him, the other party was addicted to COS, and shouted at him: "For-the-burning-Blade!"

Fuck your uncle, bullshit Flaming Blade.

Yang Lei pushed away the Sword Master and strode out of the elevator.

As expected, there is a company next to it, called "Shanghai Jushi Game Club".

The doorway decoration is very simple, as if it is the entrance to the forest in the Middle Ages, the thick giant trees are built into the door frame and lintel, and the slender branches hanging everywhere, the potted plants of flowers and plants, and the glowing elf light ball that rotates around the trees, as if entering the world of elves.

Even the girl at the front desk is a very beautiful girl.

The little girl's long yellow hair was tied with pearl chains, her shoulders were exposed, her thin camisole blouse was made of very little fabric, she also had a pair of long pointed ears, and the necklace around her neck was set off by snow-white skin, which was really big.

Pretty High Female Elf!

Yang Lei was amazed in his heart, walked over, and was about to ask.

Who knows, the elf girl greeted him respectfully: "Hello boss." ”

Boss?

Is it calling me?

Yang Lei looked left and right, and the Sword Saint was standing behind with a knife, not daring to come in.

The elf girl covered her mouth and snickered, Yang Lei couldn't believe it, was she really calling him?

It just so happened that there was a person coming out of it, who was it if it wasn't Chen Bingni?

"My God......"

Yang Lei and the elf girl looked at each other, the little girl smiled very embarrassed, her eyes dodged, but she still maintained the elegance and temperament of the high elf, and by the way, she puffed up her chest, revealing whiter skin and a more towering career.

Chen Binni took his arm and helped him introduce him with a smile: "This is your front desk, elf girl Zhang Xiaoxiao." ”

"My front desk, this game club is mine?"

"Of course, surprised, not surprised?"

"Quite an unexpected ......"

Yang Lei was speechless, when did these girls vacate a game company again?

Chen Bingni beckoned to the door and called the Sword Saint over: "This is Peter, well, I deliberately dressed up like this today to tease you." ”

Juggernaut walked over, pounded his heart hard, and roared in a deep voice in imitation of the game, "I-am-yours!"

Yang Lei was speechless: "Okay, okay, you're mine, are you hot?"

The sword master hurriedly took off his muscle suit, in the summer, although there was a central air conditioner in the building, it couldn't withstand such a toss.

Sure enough, the young man's hot hair was wet, and the oil paint on his face was diluted a lot by sweat, and he smiled shyly at Yang Lei.

Juggernaut put the sword down to shake his hand.

"Pete is good at COS various Blizzard game characters, imitates them vividly, and shined in Chinajoy that just ended last month, and now he has joined our company. ”

Chen Bingni pulled Yang Lei inside: "Come with me and take you around." ”

The Boulder Game Club looks like it has just been formed, and the gate looks like a "blizzard", and when you enter it, it's almost like an ordinary office.

But the whole company is full of strong playstyle.

Several young people are busy, with various game posters plastered on the desks and walls, huge figures of dragons or knights on the table, and old COS-specific props can be seen everywhere, not only with strong Blizzard elements, but also with some DND-related European-style magic props.

In addition to magic and dragons, there are huge gun models placed in another corner, as if they have traveled from the Middle Ages to modern times, M4, AK, Desert Eagle, these are common weapons in CS games, Yang Lei recognized them at a glance.

"Yang is always good. ”

"Hello boss~~"

"Wow! The boss is back!"

There were people who greeted Yang Lei all the way and looked at Yang Lei excitedly.

Yang Lei responded politely, Chen Bingni introduced them one by one, and he found that many employees are senior fans of the second dimension, not only have an in-depth understanding of anime, but also are proficient in various popular games.

There is also a password glass door in the innermost part, which requires a card to enter, which is a passage.

Chen Bingni introduced: "We rented a quarter of this floor, and the main entrance is the club's office area, which is the training base for competitive games, maintaining enough privacy and independence. ”

After Yang Lei swiped his card to enter, he saw several large rooms, with rows of e-sports tables and chairs, and huge display screens, isn't this a typical e-sports team training room?

He visited every room, including a tactical explanation room with a projection wall, a break coffee room, a physical training room shared with the Boulder Game Club outside, several treadmills, a multi-functional fitness rack, and a full-body massage space chair.

So, is the Rock Game Club a major focus on gaming and esports?

It's kind of interesting.

Yang Lei asked: "Is this Xu Shiwei's idea?"

Chen Bingni turned around and pouted at him: "Can't it be my idea?"

Yang Lei held her little face with both hands, rubbed it gently, and asked in surprise: "Yo~~ Can you think of these?"

"Don't pinch me like that, I'm not a kid anymore!"

Chen Bingni broke free with a smile, then put her hands behind her back, held her head high, and showed him her most beautiful side to admire.

yes, she's not a child, she's big.

Chen Bingni giggled and said proudly, "When you didn't go to Korea, I paid attention to CJ and got some promotional materials. Later, I also heard about some things, and I felt that I couldn't postpone it, so I discussed it with Xu Shiwei, and she also agreed to do this. ”

It turned out that in May, CJ vigorously promoted that Chen Bingni had always loved anime, and after research, it was found that there was also a lot of game content on CJ.

She remembered that Yang Lei had said before that the development of the game industry would be faster and faster in the future, and Zhu Jun from Jiucheng was born in games, so she asked Mr. Zhu seriously on the first day of summer vacation.

Zhu Jun said: "It is worthy of the people around Yang Lei, your business sense is becoming more and more keen, I just recently learned that the son of an old friend is also preparing to contact the competitive game industry, this young man is 88 years old, and Yang Lei is about the same age, you mentioned this matter today, I am quite surprised." ”

Chen Bingni asked, "Who is your friend?"

Zhu Jun said: "Wanda's old Wang, his son's name is Wang Sicong. ”

Hearing this, Yang Lei almost screamed, this-stirring stick in the entertainment industry!

Zhu Jun said that Wang Sicong specially consulted him and asked about the development trend of video games in the future, and Mr. Zhu mentioned a little bit of your opinion, Wang Sicong was full of praise, and said that he wanted to meet you and invite you to dinner. ”

"Let's talk about dinner, you asked Zhu Jun and think that the game industry is going to be a head, so you and Xu Shiwei set up this Boulder Game Club, ready for me to run it?"

Zhu Jun said, Wang Sicong is ready to buy a professional e-sports club, Xu Shiwei and I think you can do the same, anyway, there is not much money, you can also improve your reputation in the minds of young people. ”

Yes, of course, the old godfather is a food company that sponsors e-sports clubs, how famous the LGD team is, X-Sports' participation in e-sports is justified, it is definitely a small investment, a big return.

The key is that Wang Sicong bought IG, this team is very good, who else can Yang Lei buy?

Or it's better to simply wave the money and go to the market to dig the foot of the wall.

Yang Lei has some ideas.

Okay, then compete, who is afraid of whom.

After Yang Lei made up his mind, he was very relaxed.

He hugged Chen Bingni and kissed him, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "You are really a roundworm in my stomach, I just wanted to get this, do you know, I just met a South Korean No. 1 e-sports master, named Moon, and when I invite him over, I can play against Wang Sicong." ”

Just when Yang Lei was happy and ready to enter the e-sports industry, a few hours later, in the early morning of August 2, Wang Sicong publicly posted a Weibo: "I have acquired the CCM team, entered strongly, and integrated e-sports." ”

When the news came out, this young man in the capital who was born with a golden key suddenly attracted the attention of countless people.

Yang Lei saw the opportunity and posted a Weibo at noon: "Coincidentally, I just established an e-sports club last month and am preparing to make a big move. @汪思聪, let's work together. ”

The national media was in an uproar.

Is this an effort?

This is a provocation!

It seems that X-Sports, the-stirring stick of the sports industry, is going to change the industry again!
