……

On November 1st, the flight full of honor and dreams landed steadily at Jiangbei International Airport in Xijing City, China, and the CHN warriors who returned triumphantly received heroic courtesy and cheers in the waiting hall.

Reporters and fans who rushed to inquire had already surrounded the airport, asking for autographs, offering flowers, wanting to see idols, and so on, all with the words "Welcome the triumphant return of the heroes" on all banners.

AS was eliminated in the group stage at ESC in Paris, France, but when AS got off the plane at Shanghai Airport, he received enthusiastic support and celebration, enough to imagine what it would be like when CHN brought home the CG World Champion, which symbolizes the highest honor.

An airport ground staff said that after working here for 10 years, it was the first time to see such a large fan base, and even those top stars in the entertainment industry did not have such a high standard of reception.

After returning home, the whole CHN team was approved by the Meiya Club for a ten-day vacation, and at this time, not only the Meiya Club, but also the whole country was in a huge celebratory atmosphere.

Lu Fei's battle is over, but the staff of the Meiya Club, led by Huo Xixian, has just begun the real "battle".

The biggest winners of this CG are Huo Xixian and Alice, who, as investors in Meiya, have received huge commercial returns because of Lu Fei's success.

CG's championship prize is only $100,000, and according to the club's regulations, 30,000 of them must go to the club, but this benefit is nothing compared to the fame that CG has made.

First of all, after CHN returned to Xijing, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China called to congratulate, and the Xijing Sports Branch awarded a bonus of 20,000 yuan in the official name in order to praise CHN's championship achievements for the country, and Lu Fei, Duan Jiu, Lei Ming, Chu Jian's alma mater Xijing University also followed suit, Xijing University specially awarded the four outstanding student awards, and approved that in the future, if Lu Fei and the four can be sent to graduate school after retiring, these news means that China's top e-sports players have been officially recognized by the government and officials, The esports CS project has entered the eyes of ordinary people as a formal industry.

Secondly, the biggest benefit of AIG is the investment of sponsors. The club itself is supported by huge funds from ACTV and Nordstrom in the United States, and if it was a year ago, it would have been very difficult for ordinary clubs, such as Bada and Longteng, including Meiya, to get other sponsorships.

But now the situation is different, the major industries in the business community are vying for investment, and now it is Huo Xixian's turn to "pick and choose", Xu Qing, the official representative of Meiya, announced: non-large groups and first-class brands will never accept sponsorship or financing. This stick will directly drive out the group company that has no strength, which is of course what Huo Xixian meant, and after five days of work and negotiations, Meiya confirmed the cooperation of five sponsors.

The first is the sponsorship from PepsiCo in the United States, Lu Fei, the number one king player under the command of Meiya, officially served as the sports image spokesperson of Pepsi in Southeast Asia, PepsiCo will pay 3 million US dollars to Lu Fei in the first half of 04 years, and also pay 2 million US dollars to the Meiya Club.

If CHN can achieve better results in CPL in the winter of 03 and ESC in 04, PepsiCo will also add fees according to the contract, and this income directly allows Huo Xixian and Alice to take 20 million yuan into their pockets, and all the previous investments will be recouped at this moment.

But there was one thing that Huo Xixian expected, Lu Fei himself didn't want a penny for the fees paid by Pepsi, and gave them all to Huo Xixian in his private name, Huo Xixian did not refuse, she understood Lu Fei's thoughts very well, Lu Fei's interest was not in money, and Lu Fei didn't want to owe her and Alice the favor that helped him in the first place.

Lu Fei's move won the respect of everyone up and down the club, including Duan Jiu and others also respected his decision very much, Duan Jiu and Lei Ming also knew that Lu Fei had always valued the feelings of friends, although friendship could not be measured in money, but casually giving away millions of dollars, which not every player can do.

Meiya's second sponsor is China Mobile Communications, which is the matchmaking from the first, with his personal relationship with Huo Xixian, this cooperation is also going smoothly, Huo Xixian is also very clear, in this Chinese local monopoly enterprise, Meiya can not get any substantive benefits, but through this enterprise, Meiya can be said to have a huge advantage in the publicity channel that other clubs cannot match, and it is very easy to expand its influence. Imagine how many mobile phone users China Mobile has, and a single text message can let hundreds of millions of people know Lu Fei's name in a few minutes.

The third sponsor of Meiya is the famous brand Adidas from Germany, Adidas officially announced that Duan Jiu and Chu Jian of the CHN team are very suitable for their image of sporting goods, especially Chu Jian, with his handsome appearance and tough fighting style in the game has won the favor of many female fans, the direct beneficiaries of this cooperation are Duan Jiu and Chu Jian, through the payment of endorsement fees, not only make Meiya get economic benefits, but also Duan Jiu and Chu Jian have become superstars worth more than 1 million US dollars, surpassing many big names in the same period.

This is also Huo Xixian's means, and now clubs all over the world are eyeing their players, and many giants have thrown olive branches, such as SK and coL, trying to dig at a high price, but Duan Jiu and Chu Jian's worth has surpassed Element, sunman, and fisker, that is to say, with 1.5 million US dollars to dig Duan Jiu and Chu Jian, it is better to dig up the other three superstars.

However, Huo Xixian also knew very well that the possibility of Duan Jiu and Chu Jian jumping ship was too small.

Meiya's fourth sponsor is unexpected, it is not a world-class corporation, but Suifeng in Chengdu, China, which is the industry of Zhong Cheng's father Zhong Zheng.

This is the decision made by the CHN team to thank Zhong Zheng for allowing his son to stay in Meiya, Zhong Zheng himself also admires Huo Xixian's business ethics, not only did not ask for it, but sponsored Meiya 1 million yuan in a private name, expressing his support for his son's career, and hoping that Zhong Cheng will make persistent efforts and make further progress.

The cooperation between Meiya and Suifeng,The most direct embodiment is the Suifeng branch in Chongqing、Chengdu、Xijing,All hang the logo of the Meiya Club,Of course, this does not play a role in publicity and revenue,But the eight taxi and bus companies under the command of Suifeng,The on-board TV of all vehicles,You can directly watch some wonderful first-person perspectives of CHN superstars,In other words,CHN superstar's Demo,Suifeng company is a disguised website that provides download and viewing,Become a small platform for local publicity。

Meiya's fifth sponsor is not only what Huo Xixian is most looking forward to, but also what Lu Fei and others are most looking forward to, which is Inter.

In addition to paying a certain amount of publicity fees, Inter will also provide world-class hardware facilities to the players of the teams under the command of CHN in a timely manner, and most importantly, Inter is the main organizer of the event ACON (a competition organized by global computer manufacturers), if CHN wants to participate in ACON in the future, it can directly obtain an invitation letter without undergoing qualification review, which provides a convenient way for Lu Fei to fight in the world battlefield.

CHN's brilliant victory in 03CG has also won countless business activities, large and small, from a career point of view, Lu Fei has reached another peak after MDK, but he himself knows very well that fame and fortune are not what he really wants, what he really wants is the ideal, this ideal is still those two words - CS!

Another journey is at the feet of Lu Fei. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the Literature Network Game Channel, more chapters, support the author, read!) ）
