Chapter 710: Greed
After participating in the mobilization meeting for the new season and releasing the plan of 10 million mega prizes, Atletico Madrid left in a hurry.
In fact, everyone knows this money, and it is already the team's practice to add a carrot of 2.5 million a year, and the only thing that surprises everyone is the larger bonus number, which should be 7.5 million.
In the conference room, Sun Yi was still lamenting with people how the boss suddenly became generous, but when he saw the specific bonus details on his mobile phone, he found that his too young, too simple Tucson was broken. In fact, the number of bonuses has not changed, but this time 10 million is tax self-care, and after tax deduction, it is almost exactly 7.5 million, and I can't help but sigh with disappointment and sadness.
"Actually, it's okay, it's just a change of word to make the numbers sound better," teammate Yang Dongqiang didn't have to look at his screen, he directly put his arm around his shoulder and smiled and comforted: "The most important thing is that we all have a great chance to get this money this year! ”
"Hey, you have to wait for half a year to say that," Sun Yi complained to his friend who was obviously a little optimistic and underestimated the enemy, "Talk big now, be careful that you can't get off the stage when the time comes." ”
"It's the same, it's not like you haven't seen our simulation training results recently, and you can walk sideways in the league. Haha, this 10 million is properly ours!"
"Cut! Who gave you a family?" Sun Yi finally couldn't stand it, raised his hand to knock off the other party's big hand, and asked, "I'm going to the classroom, are you going?"
"What class are you going to take now?" Yang Dongqiang asked rhetorically without thinking about it, "Let's go to the entertainment room, the two of us will team up and be invincible in the world hahaha." ”
Blue Fireball Studios has completed the development of Crazy Soccer 3 and is currently undergoing pre-launch technical testing, and the players who are "their own people" and "ambassadors" have also been qualified to test the new single-player game, which is still under wraps, on a special machine in the recreation room.
The game's capacity has more than tripled, and the extra storage overhead has resulted in better graphics and sound, as well as richer gameplay, and most of the gamers have given the new version a positive review, except for a few die-hard fans who say that "crazy" no longer disappoints. In particular, the new version of the role-playing and comprehensive confrontation gameplay left a deep impression on everyone.
In this game, players can play as a club manager, head coach, player, or as the club president, scout, team doctor, sports journalist, program anchor, etc., all in a different but equally fun way to play. But the most talked-about is the networking mode, where players in the same virtual world have both cooperation and confrontation with each other, as if the intrigues and rights and wrongs of the real world football circle have been moved to the game, and the realism is complete with other football games that focus on field simulation.
In particular, some time ago, the Blue Fireball released a patch to introduce the role of "Football Association official", which made a group of fans who were envious and jealous of FIFA President Joseph Blatter.
The football tumbler, who was re-elected as FIFA president five times, finally fell and fell on the deal for the right to host the 2026 World Cup in North Korea (fog). It is said that Mr. Lao Bu was suspended by the FIFA Ethics Committee for investigation because of the benefit fee received from the Korean Football Association, and was even banned from football for 8 years, and it is said that the FBI also targeted him.
Of course, for low-level players such as Yang Dongqiang and Sun Yi, the deeds and status of this gentleman are too far away from them, and instead of caring about whether the Americans catch Blatter, it is better to play a few more games. The game character of the two is this new version of the class, as long as the two of them log in to the game, it will inevitably make everyone shout and beat in the public world, because these two goods often take advantage of the lack of people to launch a vote to change the rules, and then easily pass it with the support of NPCs.
But today's Sun Yi is a little different, he actually doesn't play games and wants to go to the classroom, Brother Qiang was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look out the window, "The sun didn't come out of the west, why did you suddenly change your personality?"
Sun Yi didn't say anything and stretched out his hand to the door, and the crowd immediately divided into three obvious groups after leaving the conference room, and from the direction, the destinations should be gyms, recreation rooms and teaching buildings, especially the last group with the largest number of people.
Seeing that his friend was still a little confused, he explained: "You just want to rush to the first division to share the 10 million grand prize, but you haven't thought that if the team is promoted, what will happen to you with two years left in college, and you won't be able to go to college?"
According to the cooperation agreement reached between the club and the University of Egret and City College, the student players will attend classes at the school every autumn semester and teach remotely at the base during the spring semester, so that they do not have to travel around the stadium at the base school.
However, this combination of learning and training is only suitable for the amateur league and the second division of the competition, and if you are successful in the professional league, you will inevitably have to put most of your energy and time into training and competition. In fact, the school and the team have long noticed this problem and have been encouraging everyone to complete the credits in advance, so that even if these people are promoted to the middle league and usually have no time to attend classes, they can still use the break in the season to complete the remaining credits, so as not to finish their studies in the end.
Obviously, the players who went to the school building should have been aware of this problem, so they took advantage of the season to add classes to themselves. Realizing this, Brother Qiang was embarrassed to go online to harm those game testers, and walked towards the classroom with Sun Yi.
As an expert in distance education, the remote classrooms built by Bee Education Electronics have reached the top level in the country in terms of software and hardware configuration, and in the classrooms, you can not only study the courses of City College, but also browse and observe the open courses of hundreds of other well-known universities, which has played an immeasurable role in improving the cultural level of players and broadening their horizons.
Although everyone is a sports student, it does not mean that they have made up their minds to contribute their lives to the sports career, and it is natural to know that they can enter the sports management or Chinese department of ordinary majors rather than sports specialties. Even if some people are still ignorant, they will maintain their enthusiasm for learning above the average level under the supervision of the phone at home, and few people have failed the course for more than a year, and there are five or six students who have won scholarships in a row, and even two of them have chosen to quit the team to concentrate on their studies, and the club has also expressed their understanding for this.
In this case, no one will choose to give up their studies, and it is not surprising that there is a new peak of self-study.
On the other side, Atletico Madrid, who was sitting on the second-generation Super Snail and sailing to the bee garden, had just taken his attention off the analysis report in front of him.
As he expected, although the base management led by Geng Hao was a little extravagant, it was still within the scope of the rules. At that time, the club was newly built, and many of the rules were not detailed and perfect, so they took advantage of the loopholes, and they did not fill their pockets, and all the money was spent on the welfare of all the personnel in the base, which has not been exposed.
However, these people can't stay in the club, they obviously have the meaning of equalizing interests and pulling people to conspire in it, which has always been the most taboo for the superiors, and Boss Ma is no exception. Fortunately, now that these loopholes have been basically closed, and several people have been doing well recently, Atletico will not move them for the time being, so as to give themselves enough time to find a new manager.
"And Coach Joe, who is planning to change jobs, is also a trouble!" he let out a long sigh, he lay on his back on the sofa and looked at the ceiling above his head, and one by one ideas quickly popped up and were quickly eliminated by him.
In the past few years, the Football Association has strengthened the requirements for coaches' qualifications, so there has even been embarrassing news that the national team coach is not qualified to lead the club.
So for the Bees, this head coach selection is still a bit troublesome, there are many people who hold the Football Association and AFC coaching certificates, but there are few coaches who are willing to come to the Bees and can accept Atletico Madrid's advice. Just now, he even came up with the idea of emulating some football and leading the team by himself, but he was quickly pressed back by reason, and the same methods of selecting coaches for fans and players, and deliberately not upgrading under the pretext of home problems are also unrealistic. In the end, he had no choice but to put it on hold for the time being, planning to entrust the task of finding new people to professionals.
Putting aside the question of the team's coach after six months, Atletico turned their attention to another matter.
After more than half a year of tug-of-war, Bee Mobile finally won Xia Xin at a price of 9.98 million.
Compared with the previous opening price of 100,000 yuan, this price has increased nearly 100 times, which seems to be a big loss, but it is actually more fair and reasonable. Because this money is only the cost of brand and intellectual property transfer, and does not include the equity transaction of Xia Xin, which means that Bee takes the last brand equity of this company, but does not need to bear the company's debts of up to tens of millions of dollars like the previous acquisition plan.
The AMOI brand used to be very valuable and claimed to be more than 10 billion, but that is all old, because there is no money for marketing and advertising and no hot products to rely on, brand awareness has fallen to the bottom, and the value of asset appraisal is only more than 6 million.
As for whether Xia Xin Technology, which sold the brand, needs to go bankrupt for the second time, it is not something that Atletico needs to pay attention to, the last bankruptcy they lost hundreds of millions of shell resources of listed companies, and this bankruptcy even the last brand will be lost, and there should probably be no second reorganization.
Anyway, the debt is handled by a major shareholder, and Atletico Madrid naturally won't worry about others, who will let them lose money if they don't manage well?
In fact, the seller's move was also a last resort. In addition to keeping in touch with bees before, they also tried to introduce new competitors, and specially sold all the shares of the company at a price of 10,000 yuan, hoping to attract the attention of the whole society through the sale. As a result, they succeeded but also failed, "10,000 well-known companies sold out" did cause some discussion in the industry and society, but their most expected receiver did not respond to the call, but put the company's embarrassment in front of the people of the country, and it was impossible to get a dismal operation, which can be described as a failure in failure.
Many people can get 10,000 yuan, but this money can only buy an insolvent shell company with all employees, and there is no follow-up investment of more than 50 million, don't want it to resume operation, and it may not be able to make money if it runs.
As a last resort, the seller had to return to the negotiation table with the bees, although the bees' offer was not high and their attitude was not very positive, but they were finally willing to pay for it. In particular, the A8 reborn version of the mobile phone that the bees took out before proves their sincerity and determination. It's this sincerity that is a little bitter, they were deceived by it before, thinking that the bee was eager to buy so they insisted on the debt treatment conditions, and the latter did not continue to follow up after a simple attempt, calmly watched the seller leave and come back, and brought a new and more sincere plan, and then quickly reached a cooperation.
The new plan is completely in accordance with the requirements of the bees, and only includes intellectual property transactions, so that they can immediately start the previous rebirth plan, and do not have to be bothered by old employees, old equipment and debt problems, of course, Xia Xin basically has few employees now.
Now in front of Atletico Madrid is the project plan of the "Rebirth Plan", which is waiting for his review and approval. The plan itself was only established under his leadership, and Atletico was naturally familiar with the content, but he still opened the file and read it. When it came to the end, he was a little hesitant to continue with the original plan, intending to organize his thoughts by reading.
In the original plan, the Xia Xin brand will be used as a dedicated brand for nostalgic smartphones, and the target users will be the generation born between 75 and 85. The teenage period of these people happened to be the most glorious period of domestic feature phones, and many people's first mobile phones were domestic mobile phones such as Xia Xin and Bird. Now, with the passage of time, nostalgia has begun to become popular in the post-7080s, and the comeback of the new summer should be a profit in this wave of nostalgia.
What makes Atletico hesitate is how much actual purchasing power this wave of nostalgia has, and second, the functional machine seems to be able to fight for more than ten years.
As the most popular third-party feature phone operating system, BeeOS1.x has been slowly increasing in installed base, and it is clear that the feature phone market has not collapsed. The company even considered changing its name and developing independently, so as to separate it from B6 and B7 to avoid interference. Coupled with the fact that some feature machine manufacturers have made a lot of money in Asia and Africa, Atletico Madrid finally has the idea of emulating one or two.
