Chapter 254: A Transaction
Lin Yan has understood a truth since he was a child - there is no free lunch in the world.
When a stranger shows you affection, he is most likely plotting against you, and the more sweetness he gives you, the more he wants to take from you.
In the past, Mr. Luo was eager to expel Lin Yan from the team and suppress him as a waster, but today's Mr. Luo apologized to Lin Yan, not only that, but he also gave Lin Yan such a valuable gift, which shows that he has bad intentions.
Although the watch in his hand was very valuable, and he would definitely be able to make a big show if he wore it, Lin Yan restrained the greed in his heart and gently put the watch back on the table.
"Mr. Luo, I can't accept such a valuable gift." Lin Yan decisively refused.
Mr. Luo smiled, as if he had long known that Lin Yan would refuse politely, he waved his hand in a chic manner, and said: "I never fancy money when I make friends, you can accept this gift, don't be polite!" ”
In the face of Mr. Luo's sugar-coated shells, Lin Yan still remained calm, he still did not accept this expensive gift, but said sharply:
"Mr. Luo, although I am young and don't have such a long life experience as you, I am not a fool, I know that you must have something to do with me today. Otherwise, you wouldn't apologize to an unknown person like me and give me this 170,000 watch, would you? ”
"This ......" Mr. Luo smiled and did not answer positively.
Lin Yan continued: "You are a businessman, and you are a successful businessman, businessmen are calculated everywhere, and will never do loss-making transactions, even if the price of these three watches is not a large amount of money for you, but it is not a small amount, you are willing to spend hundreds of thousands on us, which means that what you want me to do will definitely bring you more profits, isn't it?" ”
Hearing Lin Yan's calm analysis, Mr. Luo's face finally had a trace of embarrassment that had been exposed.
He didn't answer, but his silence was a tacit acquiescence.
At the critical moment, Du Yushi stood up and said: "Lin Yan, I know that you are an upright person, but the world of adults is often very complicated, and there are calculations everywhere, you may not understand these things that Mr. Luo did today, but you may understand them in the future......"
Hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly realized in his heart - his judgment was not wrong, Du Yushi really had a purpose in asking him out today, and Mr. Luo also asked him for something else.
Jing Zhen and Ah Wei also glanced at each other, and they both felt that this meal was not so simple.
Lin Yan was too lazy to discuss with Du Yushi what the world of adults and the world of minors was, he just asked very bluntly: "Let's open the skylight and say something, what do you want me to do?" Or rather...... What do you want us Revenge to do? ”
Du Yushi didn't speak, but Mr. Luo said bluntly:
"Okay, Lin Yan, I already knew that you were a smart person, and since you guessed it, I won't go around the bend with you. My goal is simple, that is, our team wants to win the TGA Grand Prix and get a place to qualify for the KPL! ”
"Oh?"
Lin Yan knew it in his heart after hearing this.
The implication of this sentence is that the Revenge team must lose to the Daimo team in the knockout round.
The next knockout match is also a battle of eight into four, and the opponent of the Revenge team happens to be the Daimo team, but at present, the Daimo team definitely has no hope of winning.
If Mr. Luo wants to win the TGA Grand Prix and qualify for the KPL, then he must first win the Revenge team.
When he couldn't win in a regular game, he thought of a crooked way.
This is the safest way to play match-fixing through bribery.
And after Lin Yan figured this out, the stunned and Ah Wei next to him also understood.
Stunned couldn't help frowning: "So, Sister Yushi, are you planning to let our Revenge team release water in the knockout round in this way?" ”
Ah Wei was even more indignant: "Wow, your Daimo team wants to win the TGA Grand Prix in this way of throwing money, right?" ”
In the face of the reproach of the Revenge team, Mr. Luo and Du Yushi not only did not feel a trace of shame, but their expressions were indifferent.
Mr. Luo smiled and said: "Children, you are still young and don't understand the sinister nature of society, and after you grow up for a while, you should know that society is complicated." In the TGA Grand Prix, each team competes not only in the strength of the team, but also in these off-the-field factors, which is a comprehensive quality contest......"
"What comprehensive quality? More intrigue than which team? More means? Is there more money? ”
Lin Yan couldn't help but say in a deep voice,
"Mr. Luo, according to your logic, in the future, the TGA Grand Prix will simply not be played, and the teams will simply throw money at each other, and whoever has more money will win the championship."
Stunned also said: "Yes, the TGA Grand Prix is an e-sports event, since it is a competition, then the first principle is fairness...... If every team plays this little trick in private, then what's the fairness of the game? ”
Mr. Luo waved his hand and said casually: "What is fair and unfair, this society has never been fair, this society has never been fair, this society has always only looked at the result, and all I want is a result, the result of a TGA Grand Prix championship." ”
"So even if this championship is not honorable, you bought it by such dirty means, you don't care, do you?" Lin Yan asked sharply.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Luo really didn't care, smiled very chicly, and said, "Of course I don't care." I said that I only care about the results, I just want a TGA Grand Prix winner! ”
For Mr. Luo's shamelessness, the Revenge trio was simply shocked.
The stunned couldn't help but whisper: "You ...... too." You're too shameless. ”
At this time, Du Yushi next to him stood up and said: "Three, let me briefly tell you a reason, you know our Daimo team...... Or how do most of the teams make money? ”
"Profitable?" Lin Yan and the others were all stunned, they were currently paying more attention to the technical tactics and combat styles of each team, and they had not thought about it in the direction of business.
After all, for them, they focus on the core of e-sports - that is, the 5v5 battle of Honor of Kings.
But for Du Yushi and Mr. Luo, they are concerned about the team's profits, and in their eyes, the Daimo team is just a money-making machine and a cash cow.
At this time, Du Yushi continued: "The team is profitable, in addition to the bonuses of various events, the more important thing is the popularity and exposure of the team. When the team has popularity and exposure, it will be popular, fans will throw money at them, and the father of the owner will contact him and contact some advertisements for just meals...... These are the most important sources of income for the team. ”
After listening to Lin Yan, it suddenly dawned on them that these things were something they hadn't paid attention to.
At this time, Mr. Luo continued: "At present, the Daimo team is only a secondary team, and it only participates in competitions like TGA that no one pays attention to, so the profitability of this team is also very poor. ”
After hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly said: "So as long as you win the TGA Grand Prix and come to the KPL arena, the exposure of the Daimo team will increase, and the profitability will also increase?" ”
"Yes." Mr. Luo nodded and said, "So for me, it is very important for the Daimo team to be promoted to the KPL, and I can give a lot of ...... for this goal."
Speaking of this, he pushed the three watches on the table to the three members of the Revenge team again, and then said, "The three of you are my friends and the opponents of the next game of the Daimo team, so I will make it clear - although you can put forward conditions, if you don't like these three watches, I can give you other material rewards, which must be more than the prize money for the champion of the TGA Grand Prix!" ”
Du Yushi also said: "Actually, Lin Yan, it is useless for you to win the ReveGA Grand Prix, because you are a freely formed team, and even if you win, you are not eligible to be promoted to the ...... of the KPL League."
Mr. Luo immediately said: "So, three children, why don't you take this opportunity to make a sure deal with me, how about it?" ”
