After the WCG ended at the end of August, until October 2001, Yang Yun's time was full.

Longteng Entertainment Game Company also seems to have not been disturbed by the outside world at all, no longer quarreling with the outside world, not responding to the media's questions, not taking care of any scolding wars, burying its head in research and development, promoting games, organizing competitions, what to do, and proceeding in an orderly manner according to its own development plan.

The only ones who can cause them trouble are a few disgraced high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Education, Microsoft Xbox in the United States who is trying to expand the number of its own games, EA that has not been a new masterpiece for a few years and can only eat NBALive and FIFA, Ubisoft in France, which is almost bankrupt due to the impact of the Dragon game education platform, many Korean companies that hold the thighs of popular online games such as Dragon "Legend", "Running Kart", "Bubble Hall" and "Audition", as well as some domestic counterparts who are good at exploiting loopholes.

The market is so big, the hardware development is slow and can't be achieved overnight, and game ideas don't come out of the word, and peers in the global game industry can only watch Longteng launch new masterpieces one after another, and their market share is getting smaller and smaller.

The most speechless is the Minister of Education of the Ministry of Education, after the Ministry of Education vetoed the legal identity of the Longteng Game Education Platform on May Day, in order to meet Yang Yun, let his secretary call Yang Yun's secretary no less than ten times, block Zhao Yongping three times, personally come to the headquarters building of the Longteng Entertainment Company twice, and ask some political friends to pass the word twice, but until the 11th National Day, the whole five months have not been able to see Yang Yun.

Minister Ma's secretary always came with expectations. It's a pity that Zhao Yongping gave a very polite answer here, which made him disappointed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang is abroad." I can't meet with Minister Ma for the time being, I have full authority to act as an agent for domestic affairs, and Minister Ma can talk to me directly if there is anything he wants. ”

But everyone knows that Longteng's boss is Yang Yun, and no matter how powerful Zhao Yongping is, in the eyes of some people, he is still a professional manager, and he can't really call the shots.

Not to mention. Minister Ma's secretary knew that Minister Ma was going to meet with Yang Yun and was not really talking about cooperation. It is impossible to do things like traditional education reform, and the two sides are incompatible under the conflict of interests, and it is absolutely impossible to coexist, and Minister Ma just wants to make a show. Create the illusion of a meeting. Let the media and public opinion point the finger at Yang Yun and reduce their own pressure.

Where does Yang Yun, who knows everything about his compatriots, not understand this truth? Throwing all the pressure on the Ministry of Education was the idea he and Zhao Yongping came up with, how could he meet Minister Ma lightly now?

During the 11th Golden Week, Yang Yun flew back to Beijing from Japan and participated in the opening ceremony of the first National College E-sports League NUGL in a low-key manner.

This is a national e-sports competition organized by the National Federation of Colleges and Universities, and the players must be students in various colleges and universities, including junior college and undergraduates. Master's, Ph.D. Postdoctoral fellows, the qualifying rounds were held in each campus, and the preliminary round was divided according to the competition area, with twelve divisions across the country, and finally the national finals were held in Beijing.

Because the scale and influence of NUGL are far inferior to WCG, many people regarded it as a plan made by a group of young people in the early days, thinking that they could organize a high-level competition by casually using the banner of a university alliance and a few sponsors.

As soon as the WCG ended in July and August, and the NUGL began to spread the word nationwide in September, there was only one month to prepare, and everyone was wondering if they could start a war on November.

NUGL's competition items, only "Counter-Strike" and "Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne", and the prize money is pitiful, taking WAR3 as an example, the champion of the twelve divisions only has a bonus of 2000 yuan plus travel expenses to and from the capital and a day's accommodation expenses, the runner-up is 1000 yuan, and the runner-up and below are not eligible to participate in the national finals.

And WAR3 even if it wins the national individual championship bonus is only 10,000 yuan, the runner-up is 5,000 yuan, the third place is 3,000 yuan, and the fourth to eighth place will only be given a prize of 500 yuan, even if you add various travel expenses and advertising expenses, the total budget of the entire WAR3 in the country is less than 500,000 yuan, which is really sorry for the title of the country.

It sounds like a student can get a prize of 10,000 yuan for winning the national championship, which seems to be a lot, but compared to those world-class competitions full of masters and high prize money, NUGL is not worth watching at all, which is also an important reason why many people despise NUGL. The registration fee is 20 yuan per person, and it is better to add a few thousand yuan to buy a legendary monthly card.

Fortunately, when NUGL was reported to Longteng for approval, it was taken seriously by Zhao Yongping, and after he reported it to Yang Yun, Yang Yun decided to sponsor NUGL and double all the rewards.

In addition, this year's new war3 champion Su Hao will attend the opening ceremony, Mango Satellite TV will broadcast live across the country, and the game baby KiKi and Yang Liu will invite players to the stage on the spot to compete with the world champion.

Capital Institute of Physical Education freshman dormitory, there is a student is very special, he went to the freshman year for two years, his former classmates have been promoted to the sophomore, he and his younger brothers and sisters have become classmates again, his name is Zhao Liang, half a year ago in the Fourth People's Hospital of Linshi Internet Addiction Treatment Center and Longteng Internet Addiction Rehabilitation School stayed, received the most electric shocks, almost destroyed by Yang Yongxin willpower.

Fortunately, there are not too many people in the school who know this secret, after all, Zhao Liang once did not go to school for a long time because of Yan Zhan's Internet addiction, and he rarely even went back to his dormitory when he was a freshman, and most of his classmates did not know him.

Zhao Liang lived in Longteng Internet Addiction Rehabilitation School for more than three months, as a sports student, he was a little unsuitable for Longteng's learning and game combination courses, a lot of physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics knowledge is difficult for him to understand, but his physical education major is rarely useful, so after graduating from the rehabilitation school, he chose to return to normal life and re-study in college.

As soon as school started in September, Zhao Liang's father, Zhao Zhijun, went to Longteng headquarters and sent a pennant, which happened to be Yang Yun in the company.

"I am very grateful to Mr. Yang, and I am very grateful to Longteng Internet Addiction Rehabilitation School for his hard work on Zhao Liang, it is you who saved Zhao Liang, who is deeply addicted to the Internet and does not know how to return, but his situation is special, so we have to let him stop continuing to study......" When facing Yang Yun, he was very restrained and careful.

Yang Yun nodded: "Mr. Zhao, I have heard some about Zhao Liang's situation, he really can't keep up with the course, and he is not interested in those mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge, it is better for all of us not to be too demanding, it is better to let him choose by himself." By the way, is Zhao Liang's Internet dependence symptoms better now? ”

Zhao Zhijun was a little sad: "Throughout the summer, we rarely saw him go out to surf the Internet, but he was also not so enthusiastic about sports, and we thought he might be suffering from depression." ”

Yang Yun frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

Last year, Zhao Liang reached a height of 185 and weighed 100 kilograms, he was a tall and strong child, but after entering Yang Yongxin's Internet addiction treatment center and being used as an experimental object by Yang Yongxin to test the strength of the electric shock, he was obedient to the whole land, and his personality seemed to have changed a lot, from the previous big boy who loved to play and laugh to a taciturn teenager who often showed a melancholy expression.

Usually as long as it's summer vacation, Zhao Liang has to go out to play basketball or swim every day, or go out to surf the Internet, but this summer, he didn't go to the net city, which is a big progress, but playing basketball and swimming have also been canceled, and he falls asleep at home all day long.

Regarding this situation, Yang Yun said: "I will ask the teachers of the rehabilitation school to take the time to come to tutor, and if I have time, I can also enlighten him." ”

Zhao Zhijun thanked him for his kindness, waited until October, and finally waited for Yang Yun's call, Yang Yun said that Eleven would go to school to see Zhao Liang.

NUGL also has a selection point in the Capital Institute of Physical Education, Lin Zhihong has already inquired, and took Yang Yun to the blue ice Internet café outside the school, which is the designated competition venue of the Capital Institute of Physical Education, and he couldn't help but laugh along the way: "The School of Physical Education is also keeping pace with the times, and this year opened an e-sports major, specifically recruiting students who play competitive games well." ”

Yang Yun disagreed: "This year's WCG Warcraft 3 champion Su Hao has not been signed by the Shaanxi Provincial General Administration of Sports, he has changed from a college student to a national sports athlete. Do you really think that in the past ten years, we have unremittingly supported national sports events, sent so many sports talents abroad, developed so many sports games, and paid a large sum of money to the General Administration of Sports of China every year, all of which have been paid in vain? ”

Lin Zhihong said with a smile: "It would be good when the WCG was recognized by the Olympic Committee." ”

Yang Yun is full of confidence: "I will definitely win the Olympic Committee in ten years!" ”

The two laughed and came to the Blue Ice Internet café, the Internet café was in full swing, the gate was a big screen live game, the competition area was guarded by a special person, and the student referees wearing NUGL costumes walked around to direct the game and record the scores, and quite a lot of people could only watch the video around the door, cheering and arguing.

Among this group of tall students, it is difficult to find the target person at once, Lin Zhihong looked around to determine the target, and raised his chin: "Look, the one wearing the red hat is Zhao Liang." (To be continued......)
