After the successful conclusion of the fourth WCG, Ye Le was summoned to the capital by a phone call. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This time, the country is very satisfied with the results of the fourth WCG, so Ye Le will be called to discuss the issue of "e-sports professional" again.

WCG has taken the competition very seriously, and there are as many as 107 participating countries and regions so far, which directly attracts more than 200,000 tourists to China every year, and is also the focus of attention of global players.

According to the latest statistics of Aurora Games, there are as many as 170 million players watching WCG games online around the world this year, with a total of more than 38 million IP visits, and the players who became famous in the arena have also been treated like stars after returning to China.

In some small backward countries, even the whole country publicized the news that the players of their motherland won the championship in such a world competition, and for a time they were even defined as outstanding heroes.

This year's WCG even the Vice Prime Minister personally came to the magic city to give the opening speech, and the day after the opening ceremony, accompanied by the government leaders of the magic city and Ye Le, he visited the global game center, the new game technology park established by the magic city government, the Aurora theme park and other representative places.

It can be seen that he is quite satisfied with this on-site visit and investigation, and also praised that Modu has become the focus of the global game industry, which is inseparable from the active support of the local government and the efforts of excellent game companies such as Aurora Games.

So after the end of the 4th WCG competition, Ye Le was invited to the capital to attend the conference.

Ye Le sat at the meeting table and had to reflect a problem on the spot.

At present, the rapidly expanding market has brought a strong demand for employment, and the e-sports industry has formed a relatively complete industrial chain, with a very strong demand for coaches, data and tactical analysts, referees, event organizers, hosts and anchors, game beta engineers and other talents.

From "Flood Beast" to "Pearl in the Palm of the Hand", from "not doing business" to becoming "the pride of China", e-sports is becoming one of the mainstream industries at an astonishing speed.

Data shows that in 2018, the overall market size of Huaxia e-sports reached 100 million yuan, and also this year, the overall number of e-sports users reached hundreds of millions.

The rapidly expanding market has brought a strong demand for employment, and the e-sports industry has formed a relatively complete industrial chain, with a very strong demand for coaches, data and tactical analysts, referees, event organizers, hosts and anchors, game beta engineers and other talents.

There are 260,000 job vacancies in the industry!

The problem reflected by Ye Le has caused widespread discussion, which has forced many people to rethink whether to open an e-sports major and import professionals for the emerging industry of e-sports.......

Ye Le stayed in the capital for more than a week, attending a total of six meetings, and finally waited for a good news.

The state has agreed to open e-sports majors in colleges and universities!

The main learning content of the e-sports major includes: e-sports technology, introduction, refereeing, event organization and planning, etc.

However, after all, it is the result of mutual compromise between the two sides, so in the future, the e-sports major will only be opened in colleges and vocational colleges under normal circumstances, and no degree certificate will be awarded, only a graduation certificate will be issued.

However, it is not excluded that some special cases are not excluded, as long as the consent of the relevant departments and schools is obtained, and then the school submits an application as a guarantee, it is not impossible to open in undergraduate colleges, but the procedures to be handled are relatively troublesome.

At the same time, the upper echelons have repeatedly emphasized that the training of e-sports professionals should not only be "players", but also practitioners in the e-sports industry, and real professionals, rather than simply teaching people how to play games.

.......

That night, although Ye Le was in the capital, he did not forget and held a remote video conference.

The first is to tell them the good news, and secondly, he decides to build an e-sports university in the magic capital by himself, which is located near the Aurora Game Theme Park.

There is still a lot of undeveloped land there, and it is easy for Aurora Games to buy some of it to build a school.

Ye Le even thought of the name of the university, and it was called "Modu E-sports University"

But how much to invest and how much to invest each year in the budget has divided many high-level executives of Aurora Games.

If it is just to build an ordinary university, it will probably only need to invest no more than 2 billion yuan under the condition of cost saving.

But if you want to build a university that can be called a first-class university in all kinds of colleges and universities in the country, you have to spend at least tens of billions of dollars.

The annual budget for maintenance, education expenses, and staff salaries is not a small amount, at least 2 billion or more.

This is due to the fact that it is only a professional university, and the annual expenses of those comprehensive universities may even be tens of billions!

Many people may wonder why the annual budget gap between the two is so large, in fact, they must offer high salaries and benefits to attract those lecturers with high academic standards, and the internal division of colleges and majors is also very large, which also increases the maintenance cost, and the number of students in the school invisibly increases the education expenditure.

In addition, many schools have their own large-scale laboratories to carry out scientific research projects, and the most famous one in China is the Tsinghua Laboratory.

They have invested a lot in science and technology, but the Modu E-sports University that Aurora Games wants to open is only a professional university for e-sports after all, so is it difficult for students to go to engage in scientific research?

Therefore, the annual budget is between 2 billion yuan and 3 billion yuan.

But there are many people who think that this is not cost-effective, and they try their best to dissuade Ye Le, hoping that he will give up this idea, because if you really want to open such a university, it is a private university, and all kinds of expenses have to be solved by yourself, and the money invested is really terrifying!

Therefore, they think that even if they really want to build a university, it is recommended to do something ordinary, and then slowly expand it if there is a condition in the later stage.

This is completely different from Ye Le's idea of smashing a first-class university in the shortest possible time.

In the end, everyone discussed and discussed, but there was still no result, so Ye Le's proposal just now was to ask the Modu Municipal Government about the ownership of the land of the Aurora Game Theme Park, and then find out how much price per square meter.

Three days later, Ye Le returned to the magic capital and decided to invest 10 billion yuan to buy 7,000 acres of wasteland near the Aurora Game theme park from a real estate company in the magic capital.

Among them, 3,000 acres of land are reserved for the future expansion of Aurora Game Theme Park, and 1,200 acres or 800,000 square meters of land are divided for the construction of schools.

Most schools with only one campus cover an area of about 1,000 acres, and Ye Le's direct allocation of 1,200 acres is not smaller than that of ordinary universities in China.

After the 2,800 acres of land set aside, it can be used whether it is used to expand schools or build game-themed business districts, anyway, the price of land in the magic capital has been rising, and it will not be a loss to buy it first and put it there.
