Chapter 51: The WCG Contest Begins
Ding Sanshi, who was in the net billion, could be said to have come with sincerity, but under Zhou Xuan's intervention, he was disappointed. At this time, Ding Sanshi could be said to be in a terrible mood, looking at the clouds outside the window, and Rongcheng under the clouds.
Although there are thousands of lights below, the main urban area of Rongcheng is indescribably prosperous. But in Ding Sanshi's view, it is a lot of bitterness. Another defeat made Ding Sanshi suspect that Huanyu's boss was targeting himself and Wangyi. But the specific reason, Ding Sanshi is confused.
Such an unclear thing made him quite annoyed. This time, the advertising of Huanyu Zhilian failed, and what did Wangyi rely on to rise again and return to the top of the three major portals.
It's August 99 now, and Ding Sanshi really can't wait for the listing of Netbillion. The listing of China.com in June was too exciting for the people of Wang Internet.
raised $96 million, with a market value of more than $600 million on the day, which is a wealth myth in the eyes of Ding Sanshi. Originally, Wangyi was the first of the three major portals, and it was also the first to be listed. But now that Wangyi is like this, how can he operate Wangyi to go public.
There are still Whoosh Fox and Xinlang in front of Wangyi, and it is estimated that they are also thinking about going public as soon as possible and raising funds as soon as possible.
As the plane crossed into the clouds, the city below disappeared.
Ding Sanshi sighed very helplessly, but in his heart was a sense of loss that the hope of listing was getting slimmer and slimmer.
The assistant next to him saw Ding Sanshi's ugly face, and also sighed slightly, and asked, "Mr. Ding, what should we do now?"
The assistant knew the purpose of Ding Sanshi's coming to Rongcheng, and he also knew what this time meant for Wangyi. But the result was a surprise to both of them, and Huanyu clearly refused to cooperate.
After a long time, Ding Sanshi's gaze regained firmness and said, "Hehe, I don't believe that after leaving Huanyu, we can't turn over yet." After returning to Yangcheng, I want to hold a meeting of middle-level and above employees to discuss the problems encountered by Wangyi. It's impossible for Net100 to go on like this!"
Seeing the confidence in Ding Sanshi's eyes, the assistant also nodded: "En." ”
……
Although the network is rejected, there are not many manufacturers who want to advertise in the global Internet café management system. No, the phalanx computer came over and wanted to invest in the advertising space for the computer to boot up.
The phalanx computer has just started now, and it has not been long since it was popular, and its popularity is much worse than that of Lianxiang. Therefore, the phalanx is eager to find an entry point to improve the popularity of the phalanx, effectively increase sales, and shorten the gap with Lianxiang.
Because it is the first advertisement, the price given by Huanyu is still relatively cost-effective, with a guaranteed advertising fee of 100,000 yuan a month. The rest is calculated according to the number of clicks and sales revenue, etc., but this calculation rule is more complicated and is not described in detail here.
After getting the first advertisement, the computer wallpaper advertisement in the back and the advertisement on the right side of the network management chat window were taken away by the Haoyixing learning machine.
The advertising of the global Internet café management system has been completed. The ad design is expected to be completed this month, and then it will be officially launched on September 1st, and then it will be time to test the effectiveness of the ad.
The franchise work of the Huanyu Internet café chain is already in full swing. Fan Yun, mentioned above, has arrived in Rongcheng with other franchisees and is discussing the franchise work with Huanyu Zhilian.
Of course, franchisees need to provide personal information, façade information, etc., and also visit the Huanyu Internet café for on-site inspection and training. Finally, Huanyu will also send staff to inspect, modify, and train the franchise store before it can be opened. It's a long process, and it takes a month, even if it's fast.
And the third of the three-pronged approach, the matter of the Universal Athletic Competition, has been officially replied to from above.
On August 8, at the economic work conference held in the city, the planning proposal drafted by Huanyu Zhilian on the preparation of the first world sports competition in China was discussed. The proposal was then voted on and adopted. Finally, let the management committee of the high-tech development zone and the cultural department supervise and impartially supervise the competition to ensure the smooth progress of the competition.
Upon receiving this news, Huanyu Zhilian immediately took active action. Started the preparations for the start of the competition, and sent invitations to several cooperative units, hoping to participate in the kick-off meeting held on August 15 in the conference room of Huanyu Zhilian University in Rongcheng Feiyu Building.
The organizers of this competition are the Management Committee of Rongcheng High-tech Development Zone and Huanyu Zhilian Management Co., Ltd., and the co-organizers are Huanyu Technology Co., Ltd., Huanyu Software Co., Ltd., Xihua Metropolis Daily, University of Science and Technology Press, Blue Sky Group, ADLINK Records, Xinyu Jewelry Group, Fangfeng Technology Co., Ltd., Wuhu Technology, Xinlang Technology and other companies.
It can be said that the momentum is very strong, and the organizers are very well-known enterprises, and the news immediately caused a burst of exclamations on the day of the announcement.
That is, on the second day, Xihua Metropolis Daily, Rongcheng Evening News, Xinlang, and Whoosh Fox published news one after another, giving a detailed description of this world e-sports competition. Moreover, on the Internet, websites such as Whoosh Fox and Xinlang have also explained some foreign game competitions, so that everyone has a full understanding of e-sports competitions.
In the next few days, some articles have analyzed the future of e-sports competitions, as well as the development of domestic and foreign developments. Letting everyone know more about esports has also reversed the perception of some people that playing games is not a proper business.
And with the official announcement of the content of the global e-sports competition, whether on the Internet or in reality, everyone was shocked by the news.
The first edition of the Global Esports Tournament was StarCraft and Age of Empires, and the finals were held in Rongcheng, S Province. This year's competition was sponsored by 20 million yuan from Huanyu Zhilian, Huanyu Technology, Huanyu Software, Xinlang, Whoosh Fox, Fangxi, Blue Sky Group, Xinyu Jewelry and other enterprises.
Previously, Huanyu Zhilian originally invested 10 million yuan, but Zhou Xuan thought that it would be good to do it for the first time, so he added it to 15 million. Later, the rest of the companies also sponsored some more or less, so that the total reached 20 million yuan. Although compared to the $7 million that Samsung sponsored the first CG in the previous base, the gap is a bit big. But don't forget that this time it's for the country, not the world.
But compared to the total prize money of only 200,000 US dollars this time, this time Zhou Xuan directly increased the prize money to the point of 1 million US dollars for two competitions. As soon as this news came out, it directly made those game masters completely boil. One million dollars, equivalent to 8 million yuan, this was in 1999.
