Chapter 561: Depressed Ding Lei

1ooo39575 Chapter 561 Depressed Ding Lei

The "Second Shijie Electronic Aromatic Skills Championship League" round of the match. Praised at home and abroad as the best "e-sports league", Lin Feng's fully commercial operation has made the "Second Shijie E-sports Championship League" more attractive to the audience than any other current e-sports event, and it has also made all viewers crazy about it.

However, the game is exciting, but for all 18 clubs, breaking even is the number one. At present, the average annual investment of the eighteen clubs is about 50 million yuan, if there is only input and no output, no matter how close the relationship between the CEO of Wahaha and other companies and Lin Feng is, it involves the life and death of the club's operation, no matter how close the relationship is, it is useless. After all, no one has more money, and is willing to spend tens of millions of yuan every year into it, but they can't see any gain.

The exception, of course, is the kind of people like Suleiman Al Fahim, who came out of the Middle East oil empire. Arabs have always been the owners of too much money to spend.

Since this event was Lin Fengqi, Zong Qinghou and others gave Lin Feng face and responded one after another, Lin Feng must find a source of money for it. TV broadcast revenue is a big one, but in the first year, in order to expand the popularity of the esports championship league, Lin Feng has sold its broadcast rights for free. As for which TV station will be signed next year. How much profit is still difficult to say.

As for the ticket revenue, the eighteen clubs have a seat in the competition venues of 3 people, although the venue is almost full, but each ticket is only sold for 8 power yuan, which can be described as low. Counting the sales of team uniforms and other peripherals of various clubs, it only brings more than enough income in a year.

The input is 10,000 and the output is 240,000, which is obviously beyond the means.

In order to broaden the financial resources, Lin Feng set up an official magazine in the name of the e-sports league, "E-sports Life", which was sold before each round of competition. The content of the magazine analyzes the classic matches of the last round of the league and comments on the star players in the above discussion. The magazine will publish the player rankings and club rankings of each game, and will interview a popular player every week, and will also make predictions for the next round of the league.

And this "E-sports Life" sold very well, and the first issue sold thugs, and 10,000 copies of each magazine cost old yuan. Witness this impressive achievement. Lin Feng also plans to open magazine branches in Europe, South Korea, Taiwan, North America and other places, expand it into a multi-Chinese version, and strive to make it the world's most authoritative e-sports magazine. Lin Feng believes that e-sports will definitely be a long-lasting industry, as long as the "Second Shijie E-sports Championship League" can always maintain the title of the world's most haode e-sports league, and have the most haode professional players, the sales of this magazine can be guaranteed.

After all, all professional players of the "Second Shijie Esports Championship League" have the right to their image when they sign a contract, and players are not allowed to be interviewed without the consent of the club. This move was originally intended to crack down on other esports leagues, but this mystery has also fulfilled this just-released "Esports Life".

The game industry of the future will be divided into three major segments. Single-player games, online games, and e-sports games.

Among them, single-player games may be swallowed up by online games sooner or later, while e-sports games will continue to shine and compete with online games.

"The boss, Mr. Ding Lei, president of NetEase, has arrived. Just when Lin Feng was thinking about the bright future of the E-sports Champions League, Ding Lei came to the door to ask for a meeting.

Lin Feng's eyebrows jumped slightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a happy smile.

"Mr. Ding, it's really my honor that you're here. Lin Feng warmly went to greet Ding Lei in person.

"Lin Dong, you are still talking so exaggerated. Ding Lei smiled faintly, but his brows were twisted together, obviously having something on his mind.

Lin Feng smiled faintly, and naturally knew in his heart what Ding Lei was doing here. NetEase's current situation is not good, because there is no profit, the project has been suspended by the NASDAQ in the United States, and this time it has invested the only remaining funds in the E-sports Champions League, and now NetEase is about to be unable to open the pot.

"I don't know what to do with me, but it doesn't matter. Lin Feng said with a smile.

Looking at Lin Feng with a spring breeze in front of him, Ding Lei sighed.

Once upon a time, he was also so high-spirited in China. However, the bursting of the Internet bubble plunged NetEase into a financial crisis in one fell swoop, and it became the first four-listed company in China to be suspended by the United States. The three major domestic portals that were once beautiful are now miserable. The new wolf was swallowed by Lin Feng, and Sohu is now relying on an "Apple Pie" to open the campus market, barely supporting it. As for his NetEase, it was even more miserable, almost declaring bankruptcy.

And now the four major domestic portals that have been re-evaluated by the industry: Tencent, Baidu, and Sohu. NetEase. Its ranking can be seen in the order of the four major portals. Among them, Tencent and Baidu are the most beautiful, and Tencent relies on this instant chat tool to occupy absolute customer resources. Baidu relies on Baidu Souer to wear. and the financial resources of Lin Feng behind it. and Tencent each occupy a piece of the sky. Only if it is easy to search, it will be reduced to the dust forgotten by everyone.

As for why NetEase exhausted all its financial resources to invest in the e-sports championship league held by Lin Feng at a time of financial constraints, this is also why Ding Lei is optimistic about the future of e-sports. If you don't come in now. Ding Lei will definitely regret it in the future. Anyway, there are 18 e-sports clubs with more than 10 million yuan. NetEase invests the least, and Haha invests the most, and it can't save NetEase's fate, so it's better to invest it in an emerging industry with a small market prospect of a catty.

After all, this e-sports championship league was started by Lin Feng, and with Lin Feng's current financial resources, Ding Lei absolutely believes that Lin Feng can make this catty. The "Second Shijie Esports Championship League" became the most successful esports league on Shijie, and even the most profitable esports league.

Facts have also proved that Ding Lei's judgment is extremely wise. Nowadays, the three rounds have become more and more popular, and the scene is becoming more and more popular, and there are not enough seats to do, and most of them can only watch the live broadcast at home or in Internet cafes.

In addition, the sales of the magazine "E-sports Life" have also been rising, especially after the launch of the English, Korean and Spanish editions, and its sales have reached an astonishing 10,000 copies per issue, and this number is still rising. Experts predict that it will not be difficult for "E-sports Life" to sell more than 10 million.

After all, under the lure of the high salary of the "Second Shijie Esports Championship League", more and more players are investing in the e-sports market, hoping to become e-sports players. Even if you can't become an esports player, it's a good idea to buy a magazine, watch these players' matches, and look at the rankings.

Therefore, Ding Lei has no regrets at all about investing all the remaining liquidity of NetEase into the "NetEase E-sports Club". However, all the money is invested, but when it will start to make a profit is not something that can be done in the short term. Now Ding Lei came to Lin Feng in the hope that Lin Feng could help him solve NetEase's current difficulties. After all, when there was a "new era" alliance before. Lin Feng had invited him, but he was too late.

"Lin Dong, everyone knows the situation of NetEase, and I don't say any polite words. I came to Lin Dong today to ask for help. I don't know if Lin Dong can save the current NetEase. Ding Lei said sincerely.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Ding, NetEase's portal website may not be able to maintain normal operation only by advertising revenue, after all, all domestic online games are habitually logged in to Tencent or Bai'an, NetEase and Sohu have been gradually forgotten by everyone. Lin Feng said.

Ding Lei sighed when he heard this, which was very ironic. But it's true. Relying on the absolute market share, netizens are looking at current affairs news. The first choice is to open Tencent to ask for information, and the position of Baidu, NetEase and Diahu is really embarrassing.

"So NetEase has to develop new industries. The gaming industry is hot right now. I heard that NetEase is opening an online game called "Fantasy Journey to the West", right?" Lin Feng said.

Ding Lei nodded. This online game is also valued by Ding Lei, but the process is not very smooth, and several members of the group have been hesitant to face poaching from other game companies. After all, NetEase's current situation is so miserable that Ding Lei can't make any promises. And there is no money on hand to keep the game open. There is also the most important point: at present, the "second shijie" in the domestic online game industry is dominant, but Lin Feng said that he will not get involved in the concave turn-based online game market, which has led to other game companies that are unable to compete with the "second shijie" have set their sights on the turn-based online game market, which makes this market too competitive, and Ding Lei is not confident that "Fantasy Journey to the West" will definitely be able to make money.

Hesitation and hesitation, Ding Lei came to Lin Feng in this hesitation.

"Forestry Committee, I also hit the skylight to say something bright, I want you to invest in NetEase and invest in "Fantasy Journey to the West". Ding Lei said sincerely after thinking for a long time.

Lin Feng listened to the joy in his heart, and he had been waiting for Ding Lei's words. Yes, now the domestic turn-based online game market is indeed unprecedentedly fierce because of its own release of the "second shijie" and not entering the turn-based online game market, but the prospect of "Fantasy Journey to the West" Lin Feng knows better than anyone. At that time, "Fantasy Journey to the West" broke the record of the highest number of simultaneous online users. Of course, it is incomparable with the highest online record created by the "second shijie", but there is no doubt that "Fantasy Journey to the West" is the king of the concave turn-based online game market.

Especially when he thought of Chen Xiaowei in the "Ninth City", Lin Feng smiled coldly. It's time for this woman who has been looking for trouble for herself to give her a blow thoroughly.

"Fantasy Journey to the West" is the best weapon to give it a complete blow.
