Chapter 361: Chihiro's Past
"Any more fees?"
Black Panther looked at Ye Feng in disbelief, now the championship reward of their two projects has reached 100,000 signing money, although this is not too high in the industry, but it is not low. While prize money is the best way to motivate players, doing so now is tantamount to taking a salary.
"If we don't add fees, our traffic won't go up, and those players and anchors with better qualifications won't join us, and the platform will fall into a dilemma, and it's not easy to get financing." Ye Feng spread his hands as he spoke. "That's why a lot of startups fall before Series A financing, and we can only succeed and not fail."
"But we have to give the players an explanation at the end, right? You can't raise money in the middle of the competition, right? ”
"Ruoyan has been working hard to attract sponsorship for a while, and I am also preparing here."
"And how much are you going to add?"
"Add 400,000 each to increase the total prize pool of the champions of the two events to 1 million!" Ye Feng said categorically.
Black Panther's Lees's jaw dropped instantly.
"This guy must be crazy!"
……
……
As soon as the decision was made, on the homepage of God of War TV, the recruitment information of the God of War Star Streamer Contest and God of War Club players was corrected, and the championship prize pool of up to 1 million immediately pushed the popularity of the game up. By the time of the Chinese New Year, the number of applicants had increased fivefold compared to expectations. Ye Feng watched some of the anchors' photos and registration videos, including some potential stocks.
"According to this traffic, by the time the event starts, there will be nearly a thousand players in the Star Anchor Contest and player recruitment."
Ye Feng is still quite satisfied with the current result, with the flow, the later financing will not be a problem. Seeing that the God of War Club has also begun to be completed slowly, when spring comes, it will be able to officially start the operation of the club. At that time, he will have a new title in addition to "Ye Shen", that is, "Mr. Ye"!
But as the cost of the game rises, so does the problem that comes with it, and that is the problem of funding.
In addition to the million signing fee, the salary of the contracted streamers and contracted players needs to be paid, and a large commission is also required to maintain the club's schedule. In his previous life, when he was playing professionally, Ye Feng always heard the managers of other clubs complain that investing in clubs is an extremely money-burning behavior, in addition to the food, clothing, housing and transportation of players, anchors, and employees, there are also a series of other expenses. If the club can't play well, it will be a waste of money, so many clubs are unable to operate and eventually close down. And the rich still think that the club is a venture capital, let alone a self-made man like Ye Feng.
But even so, Ye Feng was not willing to be restrained! Only by expanding the popularity and triggering the traffic effect can we truly attract talents!
Therefore, after accompanying Meng Yun back home to spend the New Year hastily, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Feng and Qi Ruoyan embarked on the road of attracting investment. However, due to the influence of public opinion in the KPL finals, the process of pulling investment was not as smooth as Ye Feng imagined. Luo Dong is the one with the highest hopes, but he has already invested five million for God of War TV, and Ye Feng is really embarrassed to trouble him again.
"It seems that things are not as smooth as we imagined, in fact, I can talk to my brother, but after all, there is a competitive relationship between the two platforms, and it is difficult to talk to him if he helps, you know what I mean?"
"Of course, and I'm not going to care if he wants to sponsor it." Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders, after all, it was quite unpleasant for him and Qi Ruoshan to have a quarrel, and it would be embarrassing to meet again to talk about the two platforms.
"I can't imagine that starting from scratch is such a difficult thing, and it may be easy to talk about it, but it is not so easy to implement it on money." Qi Ruoyan also sighed.
"There's no way, but this is a money society."
Ye Feng and Qi Ruoyan were walking on the street for the New Year, although there were red lanterns and lanterns hanging all around, but the two of them still had a heavy burden in their hearts.
"By the way, have you ever asked Chihiro, isn't her family also very background? Can you communicate with her and let her father invest in our platform? ”
"You said her father?"
Qi Ruoyan nodded and said, "If you don't guess wrong, his father should be Lu Zhengyuan, the chairman of Qianyu International, who has a lot of real estate at home and abroad?" ”
"How do you even know this?" Ye Feng felt a little incredulous about Qi Ruoyan, it seemed that there was nothing in this world that could hide from her eyes.
"Actually, I knew that he was only because he had approached our platform to invest, and at first I couldn't figure out why. But later I found out that Lu Zhengyuan and Lu Qianxun have the same surname, and even the first word of Qianyu International is one of Qianhiro's names. Later, I heard Morningtree once say that Chihiro seems to have won the sponsorship of Qianyu International, and these coincidences are connected, and I think this is the truth of the matter. ”
Ye Feng was slightly stunned after listening to Qi Ruoyan's words, although he had only met Lu Zhengyuan once, he still remembered him vividly.
When they went to the imperial capital to participate in the Glory of Kings University League, their God of War Warriors team had a head-on meeting with Lu Zhengyuan on the plane. Ye Feng didn't believe that such a coincidence would happen in the world, as if their encounter with Lu Zhengyuan was predestined. At that time, Lu Zhengyuan also told Lu Qianxun about the three-month period, and Ye Feng didn't know what these three months were referring to.
However, he felt that there seemed to be someone who had been inexplicably paying attention to his and Lu Qianxun's movements.
"Ye Feng, are you thinking about Lu Zhengyuan?"
"yes, I don't know what kind of conflict Chihiro and his father had, I always think the relationship between the two of them is weird."
Qi Ruoyan looked at Ye Feng for a few seconds, and said: "There is one thing I don't know if you know, Lu Zhengyuan has two sons and a daughter in name, but this daughter is not Lu Qianxun but someone else." But combined with the information of the two of us, it can be determined that the relationship between the two of them must be father and daughter. ”
"What do you mean...... Lu Qianxun is Lu Zhengyuan's ......"
"That's the highest probability so far."
Listening to Qi Ruoyan's words, Ye Feng fell into thought.
If it is extrapolated according to this logic, if Lu Qianxun is Lu Zhengyuan's illegitimate daughter, the relationship between the two of them will be explained more clearly. Lu Qianxun has never mentioned her mother, and her mother may have long been gone. And Lu Zhengyuan wanted to find a chance to compensate, but Lu Qianxun pushed him thousands of miles away.
