Chapter 850: The Problem of Exposure

Xinlan Charitable Foundation.

Zion is the Secretary General of the Xinlan Charitable Foundation, responsible for the charitable foundation's contributions and external activities.

"God, Zion, what are you talking about, you know what you're doing, you're giving up on your future."

Zion's friend Kyle looked incredulous, "Zion, you should think about it. ”

"No, Kyle, I've thought about it a long time ago."

"No, no, Zion, I don't think you've thought it through. Did you know that the Xinlan Charitable Foundation is one of the top charitable organizations in the United States? In this organization, although it claims to be philanthropic, it has billions of dollars in funds every year. It's a much more promising organization than the insurance industry, and you've been doing it for so many years and you've finally made it to the top, why should you leave there. ”

"Kyle, you don't understand. In fact, in the past few years, I have long been tired of this kind of life. I hate nodding to those rich people, and I hate this way of begging, begging for donations from those damn rich people. I don't think such an organization has any meaning or passion at all, and I am very tired of living. ”

"Zion, you can't think like that, it's true in any industry. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about those who need help from your charitable foundation. ”

"Kyle, in fact, I am just thinking about them, I have only been staying at the Xinlan Charity Foundation for the past few years. It's just that I figured it out too. I'm leaving, someone else is in charge, I'm going to find my own dreams. ”

"Dreams?"

Kyle was stunned, "Zion, you mean games?" ”

"Yes."

"Kyle, do you remember, I used to say that I wanted to form a global esports league. I want games to be a part of our lives, and I want games to be truly artistic. ”

"I know, you said that. Don't you think, Zion, that this is just a dream? Games are just games, he is virtual. Games are not destined to become a career, and your dreams are destined to be impossible to achieve. And, I'm sure you see it too. Even those game manufacturers, even Blizzard, didn't they succeed? You resign now, I really want to say, are you crazy. ”

"I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy at all."

Zion was extremely calm, "You listen to me. Perhaps, it was true that there was no chance before. But now, a giant has joined this organization. ”

"Giant, who's that?"

"His name is Penguin."

……

"Hello, my name is Zion, and I turned out to be the secretary general of the Xinlan Charitable Foundation in the United States."

With his resume in hand, Zion came to Penguin's U.S. headquarters for an interview.

The interviewer for Zion was not just a random employee of Penguin, but Zhang Ning, the founder of Penguin.

"Zion, I read your resume."

In half a month, Zhang Ning interviewed many candidates.

It's just a pity, although there are many people who are very interested in Zhang Ning's game alliance. However, none of the people who came to apply for the job met Zhang Ning's requirements.

"I'm curious, how did you, as the secretary general of the Celgene Charitable Foundation, come to us, can you give me a suitable reason?"

"Reason? If I had to give a reason, then, if I say, I'm a big fan of video games, I don't just like playing League of Legends, I also like CF, Warcraft...... Pretty much all the popular video games, I like. I don't know, what the reason is. ”

"Very well, that's a good reason."

"Playing games is a good fit for the profession, but it's not enough. If I asked you to be the head of our esports league, what would you do with this league organization. ”

This is not an easy question to answer, it can be said that most of them were passed by Zhang Ning after Zhang Ning raised this question. It's not that I didn't have any preparation for the interview before, there are also some elites in the industry, and they also took a thick stack of materials. It's just that their ideas are too old-fashioned, and they are still following the old path. That is, according to the original WCG, as well as the global CF championship and the like. Of course, there are also combinations of the two, but unfortunately, Zhang Ning is not satisfied.

"You can think about it for a while."

Zhang Ning was not in a hurry and gave Zion a time to think about it. After a few minutes, Zion sorted out his language and said, "I haven't thought about the specific plan yet. After all, it's a huge global esports organization. However, I already have a little bit of an idea. ”

"Tell me about it."

"I think there is one main reason why traditional esports can't be watched by others, and that is that they can't make a profit on their own."

"Uh, what do you say?"

"In order for any industry to survive, it must have a way to make a profit. This is the same as the profitability of a company, if a company has been unable to make a profit, then, the company will not survive and will soon go bankrupt. It's the same with an industry, why do the old e-sports still exist is just because the major manufacturers will take out part of the funds to engage in e-sports for the needs of their own games. But in fact, they don't really do esports projects, they just play for their own games. ”

"Well said."

Zhang Ning's eyes lit up, this guy's analysis is good.

"So, what do you think we should do to make esports profitable?"

"It's simple, increase the exposure of esports."

Zion seems to have thought for a long time, "The esports industry is not the same as the traditional industry, and even he is not the same as the entertainment industry." Some stars, they can release albums and make movies. But when it comes to e-sports, they can't at all. If there is a comparison, then esports should be the same as sports around the world.

If a sports project wants to survive, in addition to state subsidies, more must also be watched by the people. It's like football, all the people around the world watch football. It's the same with basketball. However, if it is softball, if there is no exposure, even if someone wins the softball championship, perhaps, people will not feel that it is nothing. Just like eSports, if the exposure is enough. Not to mention anything else, just watching the live broadcast, I think, this is a huge profit. ”

"That's a good point."

Zhang Ning couldn't help but applaud.

"Well, I have one more question."

"How to increase the exposure of the game."

"I don't know for the time being, but I don't think it's a difficult question at all."

"Why?"

"There are hundreds of millions of gamers in the world, and in itself, he doesn't have the problem of not being exposed enough."

"Very good, last question."

"What do you think about a monthly salary of only $10,000?"

"I have no problem with this monthly salary. Moreover, I believe that Mr. Zhang Ning is not a person who picks the door. ”

"Do you think I'll give you a raise in the future?"

"I've always had a lot of confidence in myself."

"So, congratulations on joining the Global Esports League."

As he spoke, Zhang Ning stretched out his hand, stood up with a smile and said.
