Chapter 267: The Professionalization Controversy

The ten-day holiday did not give the CHN people a real rest, the whole club was busy, and attending various business activities also made Lu Fei and others fly around, and even Chris made a special trip back to the United States to meet with Old Green.

It's late at night again, and the lights in Huo Xixian's office are still on.

Lu Fei pushed the door and walked in, Huo Xixian was still cleaning up a large pile of documents on his desk.

"Sister Huo!" Lu Fei sat in front of her.

Huo Xixian looked up at Lu Fei, Lu Fei's face was slightly tired.

"I'm tired, I've worked hard for you these days." Huo Xixian said softly.

Lu Fei nodded, he also found that Huo Xixian's forehead also had some gray hair that was not easy to see, and the long-term pressure and excessive work also made her look a little old.

The inexorable passage of time has made the youth quietly and silently gone, and both of them were silent for a while.

Two years ago today, they met in Seattle, at that time one was a young and beautiful radio reporter, the other was a high-spirited teenager, but two years have passed, experienced many storms and waves, although the relationship between the two has not changed, but the appearance has begun to disappear, and Shaohua has passed away.

Huo Xixian said: "You ......"

Lu Fei said: "You ......"

Huo Xixian smiled: "Forget it, you say it first." ”

Lu Fei also smiled: "Sister Huo, you have also worked hard." ”

Huo Xixian said: "It's not that I've worked hard, it's that we've all grown up." ”

Lu Fei said: "Calling me here so late, it must be to discuss something, right?" ”

Huo Xixian nodded appreciatively, she and Lu Fei have formed a tacit understanding in the past two years, but whenever something important happens, she will discuss it with Lu Fei in advance.

In fact, Lu Fei also knew that he didn't know much about business, and Huo Xixian often consulted with him to listen to his opinions, which was actually respectful of him.

Huo Xixian suddenly said: "Lu, before CG, you once put forward the suggestion of 'star-making and blood-changing' for clubs and teams, and I want to make it clear that I am definitely not referring to Mr. MDK Blatter's star-making model. ”

As soon as Huo Xixian said this, Lu Fei immediately understood what she meant.

CHN has now won the CG championship, this is the peak period of Lu Fei's five of their careers, if Lu Fei can continue to climb another peak, but it can't be ignored, after the peak, people will slowly retreat, and gradually dull with age, this is the law of all sports competitions, no one can escape, SK and 3D began to decline this year for this reason, they were replaced by China's golden generation.

So for the luxury clubs with world-class conditions, it is time to bring in new people, start new people, and create new blood.

Lu Fei had to admire Huo Xixian's long-term vision, and he pondered: "Sister Huo, what do you think?" ”

Huo Xixian said: "Lu, promote newcomers, you should be more expert than me, during the CG China pre-selection, Braveheart, these newcomers are very good, you also brought a few people to South Korea together, so that they can increase their knowledge, in my opinion, as long as Han Bing, Junwa, and Ah K go well, they may be your successors in the future, and they are younger than Duan Jiu." ”

Lu Fei said: "But only these few people can't do it. ”

"That's exactly what I've been thinking about these days." Huo Xixian stood up and said slowly: "There is actually a cooperative relationship between the club and the team, which is a characteristic of commercialization, and the club is a platform for the team and a win-win model. ”

Lu Fei looked at her, he didn't understand these words too well.

Huo Xixian added: "From another point of view, the team has achievements, the club has grown, if the team is not in form, the club will not be much better, for example, our CHN first-line, this time won the world championship, Meiya has really entered the ranks of world-class clubs." ”

"That's right!" Lu Fei nodded.

"So......" Huo Xixian said, "I think the team should take the route of excellence, for the general environment of China, not only our Meiya, but all the big clubs and organizations, it is time for reform." ”

Lu Fei said: "I still don't understand. ”

Huo Xixian said with a smile: "You should know that China's big teams, Evil, Nice, 26ZM, and Miss Ai's Phoenix, this kind of women's big team organization, they have one thing in common, that is, the total number of members has exceeded 1,000 people, and there are many sub-teams across the country. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Lu Fei asked.

"Yes."

Lu Fei was stunned: "What's the problem?" ”

Huo Xixian said: "These large organizations are all amateur teams spontaneously generated by the people, and their influence is only limited to between 01 and 02 years, which is a unique product of the Chinese e-sports circle, what should I say?" In 01 and 02, we should not deny these teams, because during this period, China's CS is still very backward, professionalism and commercialization have not yet been produced, they are specific products of a specific period. ”

Lu Fei listened quietly.

Huo Xixian said: "In 03, I am not polite to say that this kind of large organization can no longer keep up with the pace of the times, and they are destined to be eliminated." ”

Lu Fei was stunned and said, "Why? ”

Huo Xixian said: "China's e-sports year after year of professionalism, marketization, commercialization, slowly with the circle of the Western world, from a business point of view, the mode of operation is the same, but the human geography is different, I give an example, Evil, Nice, 26ZM, Phoenix, these four super teams, what are their best results? ”

Lu Fei now understood, although this kind of super army is large in number and has a huge momentum, but the quality is uneven, and it lacks sufficient financial support, and it has never been able to give birth to the top masters, among them, the best record is none other than the 01 Evil first-line team representing China in the CG World Finals, but when they arrived in South Korea, they were not even familiar with the game map, and they were eliminated in the group stage, which really made Westerners have enough of laughing.

Of course, this is not their fault, but the development of the CS circle, which is not standardized and professional enough.

The economic operation of the thousand-person brigade, if it were a sponsor, the investor would not dare to spend so much money to take this huge risk.

Huo Xixian's vision of CS does have a unique side.

"From 02 to 03, there are many clubs in Chinese mainland, these clubs are big or small, let's not talk about it, but it is not difficult for us to see that the direction of the team is a way of excellence, I analyzed the trend of China's strong teams in the past year, AS, Nv, Suz, 26BJ, etc., these teams began to streamline personnel, adopt the form of development of strong and strong joint grades, and the masters slowly increased, and the strength gradually accumulated, so large and small clubs also appeared, And our CHN was able to win the world championship in one fell swoop, in fact, it was quite accidental, of course, the fundamental reason is because of your genius. ”

Lu Fei smiled: "You talked about it again." ”

Huo Xixian said: "However, your growth is not accidental, you can see for yourself, how many matches you have experienced, and you have defeated almost all the masters in the world." ”

Lu Fei nodded thoughtfully.

Huo Xixian sighed: "The e-sports industry is the same as other industries, it requires the primitive accumulation of capital, it is a pyramid superposition model layer by layer, there are only a few people standing at the peak, South Korea, the United States, Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, etc., there is no country or region in the world that is not such a growth model, this is the inevitable result of commercialization, I boldly predict that China in the future will inevitably take such a path, otherwise, the championship dream will never be continuous." ”

Lu Fei nodded: "Sister Huo, you are right. ”

Huo Xixian said: "Yes, the result of commercialization is cruel, under the pyramid are players who are piled up with youth, just like if you want to win the championship, you have to step on the corpse of the enemy and walk over, you need to sacrifice the people below, isn't that what a poem says, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither." ”

Lu Fei stopped talking, Huo Xixian's words were indeed true.

Huo Xixian turned around, picked up the three lists on the table and handed them to Lu Fei: "This is the first-line lineup of the three women's teams recruited by us when Meiya was first established, Butterfly, Ne4MM, and 5Love, with a total of 18 people. ”

Lu Fei frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Huo Xixian said: "I will use the 5love team to illustrate, this women's team was established in October 2001, two years ago, in these two years, one of them was in a state of amateur exploration, to put it mildly, it is a group of girls who think it is fun, just playing, of which 4 months are in a state of growth, and the last nearly a year, they received the world's most scientific training in our Meiya, equipped with the best hardware facilities, but this year they did not produce results, compared to Ne4MM." , they didn't even pass the qualifiers for the ESC's Women's Masters. ”

Speaking of this, Huo Xixian paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "So, I think they should be eliminated now. ”

Lu Fei put away his smile: "What do you mean?" ”

Huo Xixian said: "Also, Braveheart's Xiaojie and Xiao Zhou should also be eliminated, leaving Han Bing, Junwa, and Ah K, if the three of them have no results in the second half of next year, they will have to accept the consequences of being eliminated." ”

Lu Fei said: "Sister Huo, I still don't understand. ”

Huo Xixian said: "I said so much, it is decided to cancel all the sponsorships and services they have received in our Meiya. ”

Lu Fei was stunned and said, "What do you mean...... Let them leave Meiya? ”

"Yes!" Huo Xixian replied categorically.

Lu Fei's expression began to become complicated: "Let them fend for themselves and fend for themselves?" ”

"Yes!" Huo Xixian's face was expressionless.

Lu Fei groaned: "Have you considered this kind of consequence?" They have lost their financial support and may withdraw from the circle and be unable to fulfill their ideals. ”

Huo Xixian said: "The completion of their ideal is not the scope of my consideration, I am now the head of Meiya, I have to be responsible for the club, you should understand that the club will not always keep people who have not produced results, which is why I came to you today to discuss, what do you think?" ”

Lu Fei took the list, which recorded all kinds of data, including the composition of personnel, the date of major events, match records, technical data, fees paid by the club, etc., which was very detailed.

Lu Fei's expression became serious, and it took a long time for three words to pop out of his mouth: "I object!" (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!) ）
