Chapter 165 The Plan Begins

While Lu Fei was carrying out the initial training plan, Huo Xixian was also carrying out the club's initial development plan, and she was busier and more tired than Lu Fei.

In fact, when it comes to clubs, many Chinese people have a misunderstanding about it.

Many players who have been involved in professional clubs have this idea: the club is a financial backing, a money-making machine.

But in fact, this is only a small part of the role of the club, the club is a platform, a place for players to turn their talents into commercial value, and further, the club is a company and a business, and its existence needs to be profitable.

There are many ways to make profits, according to the different national conditions of each country, the corresponding club operation mode is different, but one thing must be the same, that is, it must be very compatible with the players under its command, which is where Huo Xixian is more expert than Blatter at the beginning.

In the United States, the club's income mainly relies on advertising companies to promote and publicize, for example, once the players have achieved results, the advertising companies will find corresponding consortia and enterprises to package these stars, thus generating huge economic benefits; In this regard, the Nvidia club, to which 3D belongs, has done the most successfully.

In South Korea, where e-sports are extremely developed, the club's income mainly depends on the government. South Korea has a small land area, a small population, and e-sports as a pillar industry of the economy, the government attaches great importance to the cultivation of player talents, which is a typical example of StarCraft, and the successful case is SKTT1 Club, which is mainly engaged in SC projects.

When the club arrived in China, the situation was completely different.

Huo Xixian remembered his father's reminder: China's market has huge potential and huge risks, and it depends on whether you can figure out the set of things that are suitable for it.

Chinese clubs have proven to be unable to succeed in making huge commercial gains by burning a lot of money by sponsors behind them, and there are no advertising agencies in China that are as aggressive as the American style, and the Chinese government will not allow them to exist.

So what path should the club take to operate in China?

The smart Huo Xixian borrowed the characteristics of the Chinese men's football team and the entertainment industry, and the essence of this feature is only two words: popularity.

The situation of Chinese football and CS is basically the same, they are all messes, and they can't go abroad, but this does not mean that there are no opportunities, on the contrary, the opportunities are very big.

Football is actually very popular in China, thinking about the World Cup, the A League, the country is both men and women, old and young, whether poor or rich, and even some office workers are holding a few thin bills in their pockets and gritting their teeth to buy an expensive ticket to watch the football game.

"Do you think these people really know football? Eighty percent of my mother's fans are pseudo-fans, he knows a hammer, and he follows the blind coaxing. "This is what Lei Ming said.

Huo Xixian nodded thoughtfully, she fully understands these blind impulses and worship, many of the consumer groups are women, only women are the main consumers, and they don't go to watch the ball, N many people go to see fashion, look at handsome guys, and join in the fun.

In the Chinese football circle, a foreign coach once came up with such a sentence: "There are many people who are stupid here, come quickly." That's what it means.

This is exactly the same as the Chinese entertainment industry, the most typical thing is that there is a half-male and not female shemale in the entertainment industry, what is Li stupid guy, is she okay with singing? No way; Is she okay to dance? Still no; What about acting in movies? Did she act in a movie? But why is she so popular?

"Because people like neutral beauty." Duan Jiu replied.

"Wrong, big mistake, very wrong." Huo Xixian retorted, "Because she is too popular, hundreds of millions of people across the country know her, so she is popular, with such a high popularity, even if she farts, she can be popular through half the sky, the reason is as simple as that." ”

Duan Jiu had to nod his head and admit that people paid far more attention to celebrity gossip and scandals than art and celebrities themselves.

Just like Beckham in the football world, he is not popular because his football skills are too good, and he is really not one or two grades behind Zidane in terms of football skills; But he is not popular because of his handsome appearance, there are more handsome guys in that circle who are more handsome than him.

"He can be popular because the agency and advertising organization behind him have successfully packaged him as an entertainment star, combining football, entertainment, and commercial interests well, and people all over the world are paying attention, so the British have made a fortune because of him." Huo Xixian pointed out the key point to the point.

So through these examples, Huo Xixian gradually understood how to combine the commercial value of the club and the players, and the Lu Fei she now has in her hand is a good material in itself, and it is by no means the kind of waste wood similar to football and a certain ladyboy, once the packaging is successfully built, its value is infinite.

But it does take a long time to get to this point, and the biggest problem at the moment is how to gather popularity, make a name for yourself, and open up the situation.

This kind of pressure is even greater than that of Lu Feidu.

Because she is also facing an even worse situation, the problem of the atmosphere in this circle.

The Meiya Club was established, but it faced the embarrassing situation that there was no domestic league to play, and other big-name clubs did not make an appointment with CHN at all, for the simple reason that they were afraid of exposing their tactics, and the commercial competition between clubs was eager to isolate each other and hit each other to death.

This point is fully reflected in Bada, Bai Kailai and Aihua didn't transfer Bada's first-line main force to play friendly matches or anything at all, not that he didn't miss the old relationship between Lu Fei and Duan Jiu, and didn't give his sister face, but considering the future league and big games, CHN is likely to qualify in the same division as Bada, and when the time comes, you will be killed, rather than letting the other party find out their bottom in advance, it is better to really start playing goodbye and real kung fu at that time.

Longteng and Bada are in exactly the same situation, not to mention the famous teams of other provinces and cities, because of the poor bandwidth limitation of the monopoly of "China Telecom", although Huo Xixian of your Meiya Club has too much money to burn, you can engage in 20M optical fiber in, but what about people, people can only use up to 2M ADSL to play with you, the difference in ping value is too big, and online competitions are unrealistic.

"Take 10,000 steps back, you still have to consider the problem that China's CS level is not high, even if we sweep away the large and small teams across the country, it is still at the domestic level, and it has never been in line with international standards." Lu Fei said.

Huo Xixian nodded, took a long breath, and the problems he faced were not ordinary, but ordinary.

The Meiya Club was established on New Year's Day, and for 10 days, Huo Xixian had to work more than 14 hours a day, except for running around, most of the time was sitting in the office and meditating, she was thinking of ideas, planning, and thinking about the future.

In half a month, Huo Xixian has lost a full circle of weight, her eyes are dark, her eye bags are extremely deep, her energy and physical strength are really more powerful than Lu Fei and them, she doesn't look like that charming mature woman at all, but like an old woman.

Another late night.

It was almost 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the lights in the general manager's office were still on, and the light was shining through the blinds.

Lu Fei stood outside the door and sighed long, this brand new club is different from the original MDK, not only the players, everyone is working hard for a common dream.

"Sister Huo." Lu Fei pushed open the door and walked in.

"Lu Fei." Only when he saw Lu Fei would Huo Xixian's tightly knit brows stretch slightly.

Lu Fei looked at her: "It's so late, you still haven't slept yet?" ”

Huo Xixian smiled slightly: "You don't do the same." ”

Lu Fei sighed: "I'm training, this will be the golden time, and it's different from you." ”

"Prime time?" Huo Xixian was interested.

Lu Fei said with a smile: "China is different from the United States, China's CSRs are all online at night and all-night games, because there are fewer people at night, the network speed will be smoother, and most teams appear late at night." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Huo Xixian said with a smile.

Lu Fei smiled bitterly: "Aren't you the same, I see that you haven't eaten all day today." ”

Huo Xixian's heart moved, and he smiled: "I'm not hungry, and I feel a little fat recently, don't you just lose weight?" ”

Lu Fei looked at her, and no longer spoke, but silently brushed the slightest warmth in his heart, this old lady who was a few years older than himself brought him too much emotion and dedication.

"Maybe in the future, the only thing to repay her heart is ......" Lu Fei just thought of this.

The fax machine on the desk made a "tick, tick" sound.

"Who's sending a fax so late?" Lu Fei was a little surprised.

Huo Xixian took out the paper from the fax machine and looked at it, and his face was immediately filled with a mysterious smile: "Lu Fei, I'll tell you a piece of news, I guarantee that you won't be able to sleep tonight." ”

"Haha, yes, what's the news?"

Huo Xixian said in a deep voice: "On Valentine's Day on February 14th next month, the SK team of BDS will come to Xijing City, China, to our club for an official visit to China. ”

Lu Fei was stunned on the spot: "Is this true?" This is great news. ”

SK's visit to China, it is no exaggeration to say that the world's No. 1 team came to China, which will be a milestone in the history of Chinese CS, and the significance is extraordinary, which is completely different from Erin's secret invitation back then.

Lu Fei was stunned and didn't believe that Huo Xixian had such a great ability to summon SK, but he had to believe that Huo Xixian had such a great ability.

Huo Xixian smiled: "This is the result of the joint efforts of Mr. Zhang, Miss Ai, and me. ”

Lu Fei immediately understood that SK's visit to China must have huge business interests, this Qian Meiya club must account for the majority, and the government's driving force is a big factor, and the key point is that Erin and Potti are very good old friends.

"Yes, Miss Ai has made a lot of efforts in this matter." Huo Xixian explained, "But this is not just one piece of good news, there are several good news. ”

"Oh?"

Huo Xixian smiled mysteriously: "Whether there is good news or not depends on your help." ”

Lu Fei was surprised: "Haha, how can I help, the more I help?" ”

"Haha." Huo Xixian couldn't help laughing.
