The so-called third party is the intermediary who plays the role of communication when the two sides cannot communicate directly.

Since the game entered globalization, the confrontation between countries has been the main theme, which is also the result of the promotion of professional leagues.

However, not all confrontations are guaranteed to have winners, and many times, lose-lose is the norm.

If both sides are ordinary players, they naturally won't care about this, no matter how much it is, let's talk about it later.

But as a de facto enterprise, the club will naturally focus on profits, and if a battle, whether won or lost, is destined to be only bad for itself and not good, then it will try its best to avoid it.

When both sides of the fight have this will, things start to take a sour.

For example, although the civil contradiction between China and South Korea is not small, there is not much conflict of interest between faith and Sanxin.

Sanxin's pursuit is to integrate the strength of the whole country and maintain the status of the world's No. 1 club; The biggest enemies of faith are the European Union and the United States, and even though South Korea has a reputation for games, it has little presence and ambition in the world as a country.

Therefore, in the past struggles, the friction between China and South Korea at the club level was not large, at least there was no deep hatred for the same end.

But in the minds of ordinary players, except for a few countries in the African region and Pakistan, the rest are natural enemies, and the Korean club like Sanxin is certainly the number one enemy.

So, many times, although the club doesn't want to go to war, the position dictates the muzzle and has to fight.

At this time, the role of international third parties comes into play.

It is their job to build bridges between the two sides, to negotiate privately, and to avoid wars that are not beneficial to either side.

Although this kind of thing is not considered a collaborator, it is not appropriate to make it public, but it is also necessary to ensure that both parties abide by their commitments, so the third party needs not only sufficient credibility, but also a certain strength.

This kind of role is generally filled by a well-known person or a large group enterprise, and will find guarantees for both parties and entrust them at various levels.

To take the simplest example, the most famous personal third party and guarantor in the domestic game circle is Ye Jun, a former Warring States professional player who retired many years ago.

This old-timer in the game industry is 39 years old this year, in his era, he had a higher popularity than Lu Zhe at his peak, after retiring, he worked as a coach and a team manager, no matter where he is, he can be at the top of the industry.

Today, he is also a senior advisor to the global esports professional league, and still has a great influence in the esports circle.

With the prestige of such a person, it is enough to act as an international third party that can be trusted by both sides.

……

Ying Xiao in the studio.

"Will they apologize?"

Although Du Xiaoxiao issued that statement in accordance with Lu Zhe's instructions, she still doesn't understand the meaning of doing so.

And Lu Zhe is a cautious master, and if he doesn't go as far as he expected, he can't explain this matter to her clearly.

"Of course not." Lu Zhe said with a smile: "It is more difficult to let Sanxin publicly apologize to the enemy country because of this incident than to kill Zheng Junchu." ”

"And you're still asking me to make that kind of statement? Isn't this forcing them to carry it to the end? ”

"Don't worry, let's see the situation again."

In the morning, Lu Zhe brought breakfast for Su Ying and others, and explained two sentences to Du Xiaoxiao by the way.

However, Boss Du obviously didn't know much about the inside story of the professional circle, and when Lu Zhe came back in the evening, she still had great doubts and distrust, and repeatedly asked: "A third party?" Negotiation? Exactly with whom? Three-core? No way. ”

Lu Zhe couldn't explain too much, so he could only fool the past for the time being.

The water in this industry chain is very deep, even the average professional player may not be clear, Lu Zhe was in contact with a higher level than most people, considering his status at the time, his career plan after retirement, it is likely that he will also be exposed to this industry, plus the professional league and Ye Jun himself have talked to him about this matter, so he still knows a lot of things.

Around eight o'clock.

A paid message is sent to the character of the bad bad wolf.

"Gray God, hello, I'm the Gushi Club, the guild leader, about the matter between Yingxiao and Sanxin, can you add a friend to talk about in detail."

Lu Zhe called Du Xiaoxiao and Su Ying as soon as possible, and then passed the friend application.

"Ancient times?"

Under the questioning, Du Xiaoxiao finally understood the meaning of the existence of the third party, but she still didn't expect that on the Chinese side, it turned out to be the natural contact person of the Gushi Club.

International third parties generally do not approach both parties in person, but will find a guarantor.

Obviously, the Gushi Club is the guarantor of the Yingxiao Guild this time.

This player, named "Great Ancient World", can be clearly found on the official website of the Ancient World Club, of course, even if he doesn't check it, Lu Zhe will not even know about the president of the Ancient World Guild.

"Why is a professional club coming to be a lobbyist for Sanxin?"

Du Xiaoxiao felt a little uncomfortable with the so-called third-party mediation from the beginning, in her concept, the enemy is the enemy, how can she negotiate appeasement in private because of a little loss of interests.

At this time, seeing Gu Shi, a second-rate club in China, actually played this role that was not very glorious in her mind, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"Boss, you still haven't changed your identity and mentality, the game is just a carrier, the club is no different from the average enterprise, the first consideration is, of course, your own interests."

"However, what benefits can the ancient world get in this matter?"

Lu Zhe said with a smile: "It's complicated, it's not something that can be explained in a while, if you can't accept this, if you find that the Warring States of Faith are also doing similar things in the future, will the worldview collapse?" ”

"What?" Du Xiaoxiao is already about to collapse now.

Faith is just that, I often hear Lu Zhe talk about Chai Ming's various conspiracies and tricks, and he has a bad impression of the whole faith.

But with such a righteous and bright image of the Warring States and not afraid of death, how could they do such a thing?

"The style and image are all created by the team according to their own situation and in order to cater to the fans, and it has nothing to do with the club itself." As if knowing what Du Xiaoxiao was thinking, Lu Zhe said with a smile: "But boss, you don't have to think too extremely, some general direction and principle issues are not negotiable."

"For example, Faith and Sanxin can reach a harmonious ending that is beneficial to both parties in a certain conflict, but in the long run, it is impossible for both parties to resolve the conflict and cooperate with each other.

"After all, this kind of thing, even if someone guarantees it, it is impossible for both parties to fully trust, and from the perspective of the domestic situation alone, a tough attitude towards the outside world is the most in line with the interests of the club, so the things you are worried about will hardly appear."
