That's right, now that the annual college entrance examination is being held, thousands of candidates in China are about to go to the examination room to face the first big exam in their lives after more than ten years of hard study.

However, this year is different from previous years, the difference is that many universities in China have opened e-sports majors this year, so that candidates have more choices.

Most of the students who plan to apply for e-sports majors are boys, and although there are some girls among them, they are only a small handful.

If in the future, if a candidate finds that the esports major he has entered is all boys, and girls are even rarer than pandas, then don't be surprised, this is a normal thing.

Before the official rise of mobile esports, the ratio of male to female esports users was close to 8:2, and the number of male users was four times that of female users.

Nowadays, the mainstream of esports is all PC games, and it is rare to see mobile games appear on the professional stage.

But don't think that the number of girls who love to play games is small, they just don't have a favorite project, or they don't have the same enthusiasm for esports as male gamers for the time being.

Note that this is only temporary!

As long as there is a suitable game to open this breakthrough, the number of female esports users is bound to skyrocket.

And the easiest breakthrough is in mobile esports.

As we all know, it is more convenient to play through mobile phones, because of the convenience, so more people will choose to try.

Who have you ever seen who keeps their computer with them 24 hours a day?

However, the mobile phone is a must-have for many people, and I believe that many people may like to put their mobile phones in a place where they can easily reach them when they sleep, and the first thing they do when they open their eyes in the morning is to look at their mobile phones.

Convenience represents popularization, and there is naturally no shortage of players after popularization.

In addition, the curiosity of girls is also a very important factor.

Thinking about the controversial "Honor of Kings", many people may not have thought that at a certain time, this game with 200 million players and more than 50 million daily active users was actually a majority of female players!

All kinds of data are combined, the number of female players in this game is significantly higher than that of men for almost a long time, with a staggering ratio of 1:1.18!

And nearly 50% of the players are middle-aged and high-educated users, and the most interesting thing is that only 3.5% are younger than 14 years old.

Through this data, it is not difficult to analyze the fact that it has always been scary, that is, when you complain that your teammate is a primary school student, there is actually a more likely chance that the teammate is a primary school student, and that teammate is actually a "female college student" who is always ridiculed like an elementary school monk.

And the primary school students silently helped people not get up to excuse the black pot, and it was impossible to keep a smile and stand up and say: I will help the young lady carry the black pot, no thanks, please call me a red scarf!

The game itself is not too difficult, Honor of Kings can be relatively easy to get started, most heroes do not need too cumbersome operations, and because the pace is relatively fast, it is simply the best choice for boring times, and you can open it anytime and anywhere.

There is also a more important point, that is, the female hero model in the Glory of Kings is quite beautiful, and the skin is also a variety of special effects flying, and she likes to buy and buy if she doesn't agree with her, after all, it is the nature of girls to love beauty and buy it.

Of course, it is not excluded that some bear children use their mother's and sister's mobile phones to play games.....

Now how many people will apply for the e-sports major, even Ye Le himself can't say, and he can only start counting this number when he fills in the voluntary major.

Many people in the industry expect that there will be no less than 500,000 candidates for e-sports majors, but the actual enrollment of more than 20 colleges and universities is only 2,000.

What kind of job can I find when I play games, and is it the kind of job that is very stable?

This is a problem that many parents and candidates are worried about.

Last month, someone made a detailed analysis of this topic, and the current national e-sports industry chain involves 11 e-sports industry directions, with only more than 60,000 employees.

In recent years, with the large-scale influx of capital, the e-sports industry has developed rapidly, but the serious problem of talent gap has gradually been exposed. According to public data on the Internet, there are only 60,000 employees in the e-sports industry, and the talent gap has reached 300,000, which has become one of the main reasons hindering the development of the e-sports industry.

In addition, the lack of professionalism of existing practitioners is also an important problem faced by the esports industry in terms of talents. At present, e-sports practitioners are generally young, and many industry personnel are transformed from professional players, most of whom have not undergone professional learning and formal skills training, and lack professional skills such as management, planning, and organization. Affected by this, there are many problems in the esports industry. There is also an urgent need for a large number of high-quality talents who have graduated from formal colleges and universities to fill the vacancies in the industry.

In fact, every year, colleges and universities across the country will add popular majors according to the social and economic development situation, but when "e-sports" meets tradition, it may become the hottest topic among fresh graduates this summer.

However, the first batch of less than 2,000 students was not enough to stuff the e-sports industry, and it could not solve the problem in the slightest.

What's more interesting is that most colleges and universities will be divided into a small class of 10 people in the currently planned e-sports major, which means that there are only 10 students in a class, and there are only 3 to 5 classes in a grade.

Ye Le has visited many e-sports classrooms in colleges and universities before, and each classroom is relatively small, only about 1/2 the size of a normal middle and high school classroom, with a podium and ten computers placed in it, of course, projectors, blackboards, and other things are naturally indispensable.

Most of the classroom doors are frosted tempered glass doors, and in the future, the personal information of the lecturers and students of these classes will be posted directly on this large glass door.

Don't think that the score line for e-sports majors is very low, its requirements for cultural scores vary from major universities to universities, and are generally consistent with the score lines of other majors in the university.

It is estimated that more than 500,000 candidates will apply for the e-sports major, but in the end, less than 2,000 will be admitted, and the elimination rate is simply staggering.

What's more, the quota of less than 2,000 people has already been booked by some students who have submitted directly to the recruitment, leaving only more than 1,000 places for at least 500,000 candidates to compete, and it is not surprising that it is called one in a hundred.

Under such fierce competition, Ye Le still hopes that he will think twice and be mentally prepared to confirm whether he really intends to take this path.

Although he came to this world from the earth as early as 2016, he has been observing every move on the earth through systematic understanding.

As far as he knows, a university on the planet suffered 50 students majoring in esports in the first phase, but in just one year, there were only three people left in a class of less than 50 people.

Many people are made by thinking that they can play games every day and make a living by playing games.

However, all kinds of current situations show that things are far from being as simple as they imagined, not only the system is not perfect, but also very hard, and being able to rest happily for one day a week is already considered Amitabha.

When something changes from your preference to a career, then you have to silently choose to undertake all this, the minimum psychological preparation must be done in advance, no industry supports idlers, and e-sports also requires practitioners to pay their own efforts in exchange for compensation.

Those who think that if they enter the e-sports major, they will be able to play games comfortably every day and make a lot of money easily, I am afraid that they are still living in a dream!

Who wouldn't daydream, and how many can achieve it?

In many provinces and cities across the country, the college entrance examination still uses the method of filling in the application according to the score, and after the examination, some people will find that choosing a good school and a good major seems to be more difficult than the college entrance examination.

There are even many parents who would rather spend thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars to find a professional for consultation.

Ye Le was very worried that these candidates would blindly apply for the exam in the face of such a fresh, blessed and attractive major, and finally give up halfway, not to mention delaying their studies and future.......

On June 7, when the senior high school students were fighting on the front line of the examination room, Cheng Nan came back from Germany.

When I returned, it was close to half past five in the afternoon.

Ye Le's company has people busy at work 24 hours a day, but it implements a shift system!

The senior management of Aurora Games gets off work at about 6 o'clock every day, even if Ye Le, as the chairman of the company, no one can limit his time in the company, and he is used to commuting with other people, so Ye Le is in a meeting at this point.

Cheng Nan, who learned that Ye Le was still in the company, hurriedly rushed back to the company from the airport as soon as possible, because he had an important matter to report to Ye Le.

When he rushed back to the company, Ye Le had already finished the meeting and was ready to go home.

Cheng Nan took the assistant to push open the mahogany door of the chairman's office, Ye Lezhi got up with a smile and said: "Are you back? Good news to tell you, Aurora Takeaway really lived up to expectations, and suddenly surpassed Hungry Bar and Qiandu Takeaway, just now I just received the news that the cities covered by Aurora Takeout will be doubled this year." ”

“

I've heard about Aurora takeaway, but in the past few days abroad, I suddenly thought of something, which is related to the Modu Esports University, which we are expected to open next year. Although Cheng Nan is abroad, as the president of the company, he has been paying attention to the progress in China, and he naturally knows something about Aurora Takeaway.

Hearing the word Modu E-sports University, Ye Le raised his eyebrows, and said, "Let's talk about it!"

Cheng Nan said slowly: "During my time abroad, I went to many universities to give speeches, and I also found that in fact, our e-sports university does not need so many classrooms and other supporting facilities. ”

Ye Le was puzzled and said:

"What do you mean? Now that the school is halfway built, even if we want to reduce it, we can't do it!"

Cheng Nan corrected it: "No, I mean that we should not only build the previous ones, but also set aside some more land to build a campus." ”

Ye Le was a little confused, and he said earlier that he didn't need so many classrooms and supporting facilities, why did he propose to build a new campus now, is this a contradiction?

Cheng Nan saw that Ye Le's expression was a little strange, obviously he didn't understand, and hurriedly explained.

"That's right, Ye Dong. I mean, we need to cultivate talents in esports, but don't forget that our company's job is to be a game developer!"

"We need a 'talent development base', and the school is an excellent place to cultivate talents. So we could have repurposed a new campus to put esports and anime game production in one university. ”

Hearing him say this, Ye Le finally understood.

It turned out that Cheng Nan wanted to expand one major in one university to two majors in one university, the first professional certificate is a new e-sports major added by the state, and the second major is animation and game major.

One is to provide scarce talents for the e-sports industry, and the other is to create a school for Aurora Games to cultivate and reserve talents.

Ye Le has his own worries, there is so much land there, and every piece of land must be reasonably distributed.

"You should also know that the thousands of acres of land reserved before, not only to ensure that at least 1,500 acres of land is reserved for the Aurora Game Theme Park, but also set aside a part of it for the construction of commercial communities, e-sports competition halls and theme business centers, and the school itself also occupies a lot of land, and at present, it can set aside a maximum of 200 acres of idle land. ”

"It is estimated that at least 1,000 acres of land will be needed to build a campus for game majors. However, the surrounding land has been taken by real estate developers who have followed the smell of money, and there is no idle real estate for sale nearby. ”

Cheng Nan had already thought about this problem, so he said very simply at this time: "There is no need for so much land at all, because the area of Modu E-sports University is already excessive, including the teaching building, library, canteen, dormitory, these facilities are too large, we only need to use it reasonably, as long as we take out another 500 acres of land." ”

"500 acres?" Ye Le hesitated slightly, weighed the pros and cons and shook his head: "The 1500 acres of land must not be moved, otherwise with the upgrading of the game, there are more and more representatives of our company, so the Aurora Game Theme Park must build a new theme area as soon as possible, and each area has high requirements for land area, which you should know." ”

"That's exactly what I want to say, the Aurora Game Theme Park is backed by the sea, and we can build the future theme area on the sea!"

Ye Le suddenly saw the sun and understood what Cheng Nan meant: "You mean reclamation?!"

Cheng Nanwei smiled: "That's right, it's reclamation." Part of the 1,500 acres reserved for the Aurora Game Theme Park will be used to build new teaching buildings and other supporting facilities. ”

"In the future, when the Aurora Game Theme Park needs land, we can start the reclamation project, and no matter how bad it is, we can show the new theme area to visitors in the form of a water park. ”

"And the amount of reclamation project is acceptable, as far as I know, a top construction engineer can make a full and reasonable use of space to create a multiplier effect, the reclamation project is not as big as imagined, and there is no need to actually fill in hundreds of acres of land. ”
