Chapter 282: Pride and the Bottom Line! (2-in-1 Chapter)
After Zhang Mingli heard this, he looked at Xu Zifeng and asked, "Young man, do you agree with the method that Manager Xie just said?" ”
Xu Zifeng didn't hesitate at all, and nodded directly and agreed: "Yes, we have time now, and we can do it at any time." ”
A hint of appreciation flashed in Zhang Mingli's eyes, and then he asked Xie Long: "Do your friends have time now?" ”
"There should be, I'll call and ask now." Xie Long said.
"Hmm."
A minute later, Xie Long hung up the phone, smiled and said, "They have time, and they will come over together in half an hour." ”
"Good." Zhang Mingli nodded, and asked again: "Is the strength of your friends really good?" ”
"I've known them for a while, three of them are the strongest kings, and the other two are also Diamond One and Diamond Two, in terms of rank alone, they are already considered top in Kunming, but they are not interested in forming a team, I originally planned to lobby them and let them settle in our Internet café to play games, but they are currently in the negotiation stage." Xie Long replied.
"Oh?" Zhang Mingli became interested, only to see a strange look flash in his eyes, Xu Zifeng saw it in his eyes, and his heart tightened.
Immediately after, he also saw a hint of strangeness in Xie Long's eyes.
It's just that he is very sure that the two of them have different ideas, and at the same time, Xu Zifeng immediately has reservations about Xie Long.
After seeing the sincere smile in Xie Long's eyes before, he thought that Xie Long was a very good person, but he felt that he should have looked away.
Thinking of what he just said about discussing the matter of entering the Internet café with the local team that was about to fight against them, he felt that the appearance of his own group of people should have disrupted his plan, so he came up with this method in an attempt to prevent Zhang Mingli from sponsoring them.
Of course, Xie Long didn't say no outright, he was very smart, he used the question of "strength" to reasonably call another team to come to verify their strength, if they lost later, then they would definitely leave, and after that, the team he called was left.
At that time, the sponsorship that belongs to them will most likely go to another team.
However, these are just Xu Zifeng's personal guesses, maybe he guessed wrong? At this moment, Zhang Mingli suddenly spoke: "In this way, if the two teams have results, the winning team will sponsor 1.5 million, divided into three installments, one issue a month, and one phase of 500,000." ”
"Uncle Zhang." After Long Xue'er heard Zhang Mingli's words, she immediately said coquettishly: "Just now you obviously agreed to sponsor the Fengyun team, why do you have to change your mind now, I am not allowed, you don't count." After speaking, Long Xue'er looked angry.
"Silly Xue'er, my uncle is a businessman, whoever can help me will get my money, this is a reasonable deal, I believe your friends will understand." After Zhang Mingli finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zifeng with a smile.
Xu Zifeng smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Uncle Zhang is right, Xue'er, don't embarrass Uncle Zhang, if we lose, it will prove that we have no strength, and even if Uncle Zhang is willing to sponsor at that time, we will not have the face to ask for it." ”
Everyone has their own pride and bottom line, of course Xu Zifeng also has it, if he loses the duel later, how can he still accept Zhang Mingli's sponsorship?
He wanted patronage, not handouts.
He very much agrees with what Zhang Mingli said just now, this is a reasonable deal, Zhang Mingli sponsors them because they have the strength, they can bring business to the Internet café, they can make a name for the Internet café, and increase their popularity, but if they are not strong, how can they help the Internet café?
At that time, it will not be a reciprocal deal, if Zhang Mingli agrees to sponsor because of Long Xue'er's repeated pleas, it will be a charity, let alone 1.5 million, even if it is 3 million, he will not ask for it.
This is his pride.
It's also his bottom line.
Several people chatted in the office for a while, and after about 20 minutes, Xie Long's mobile phone rang, he took it out and looked at it, and said to Zhang Mingli before he could connect: "Boss, my friends have arrived, I'll go downstairs to pick them up." ”
"Well, go ahead, let's go straight to the competition area." Zhang Mingli said.
"Okay." Xie Long nodded, and then left the office, Zhang Mingli got up, Xu Zifeng and others also stood up after him, only to hear Zhang Mingli smile and say: "A few young people, you were introduced by Xue'er, of course I hope you can win, but, again, I am a businessman, I don't like to do loss-making transactions, if you win, and then the Internet café competition has an effect, rest assured, I will definitely increase the amount of sponsorship." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Xu Zifeng said with a smile.
"Let's go."
A group of people followed Zhang Mingli to the competition area, they saw that there were already two waiters cleaning the computer in the competition area, no need to ask, this must have been arranged by Xie Long just now, not long after, Xie Long took a group of people to the second floor, because before they approached, Xu Zifeng heard a familiar voice coming over.
"Brother Xie Long, don't worry, our strength is definitely one of the best in Kunming, you should know it very well."
This voice...
Xu Zifeng and Sao Pig glanced at each other in unison, obviously, not only Xu Zifeng heard it, but Sao Pig also heard it.
So, both of them looked back at the same time.
I saw a familiar face in the eyes of the two.
Xing Zhuoxing!
"Brother Feng, this grandson is the local passerby master that Manager Xie said?" When Sao Pig said this, he almost couldn't help laughing.
Who is Xing Zhuoxing?
That's the brother of Xu Zifeng's first girlfriend Xing Zhuoyi, the former president of the Kunming University E-sports Club, the reason why he couldn't be the president of the e-sports club was purely because Xu Zifeng was forced to step down, of course, among them, the spit-squirting man also contributed a lot, because the proposal to automatically resign as president if he lost was proposed by the spit-squirting man.
In other words, the spit-squirting man can now be the president of his e-sports club at ease, and Xu Zifeng is absolutely indispensable.
"It should be it, it's strange, they are obviously KM team 2, why does Xie Long say that they are a local passerby team?" Xu Zifeng wondered.
"There's a ghost in my heart." Sao Pig pouted.
"There's a ghost in your heart?"
Xu Zifeng thought to himself for a few seconds, he felt that there must be some ulterior secret between Xie Long and Xing Zhuoxing, but they didn't know it yet.
The conversation between the two just now was whispered in each other's ears, so Zhang Mingli on the side didn't hear it, and at this time, Xie Long led someone to stop in front of everyone.
Xie Long smiled and pointed at Xing Zhuoxing and the others, and said to Zhang Mingli: "Boss, they are all my friends, that is, the strong passerby team I just said. ”
At this time, the expression on Xing Zhuoxing's face was shocked, because he had already seen Xu Zifeng and the others.
"Well, welcome." Zhang Mingli smiled.
"Xu Zifeng?"
As soon as Zhang Mingli finished speaking, Xing Zhuoxing recovered from the shock, he looked at Xu Zifeng and shouted, Xu Zifeng nodded and said, "It's me, long time no see." ”
They have indeed not seen each other for a long time, since Xing Zhuoxing resigned as the president of the e-sports club, he has become low-key at Kunming University, unless there are classes, he rarely goes back to school, and generally stays at the KM club training base.
Because he is now the starting ADC of KM 2.
"You... How did you end up here? Could it be that you are the nameless little team in Brother Xie Long's mouth? Xing Zhuoxing asked in disbelief.
Hearing Xing Zhuoxing's words, Xie Long glanced at him angrily, but the anger in his eyes flashed away.
"Ahem!"
Xie Long seemed to be afraid that Xing Zhuoxing would say the wrong thing if he continued, so he took the initiative to cough twice, and after interrupting the conversation between the two, he said: "I didn't expect you to know each other, so it's better to do it, what do you have to say, why don't you talk about it after the game?" ”
"Okay." Xing Zhuoxing nodded in response.
"I'm fine." Xu Zifeng smiled.
When the people on both sides were about to take their seats, Xing Zhuoxing passed by Xu Zifeng and said quickly: "I know that your strength is very strong, but now I am not what I used to be, besides, I have four professional teammates, and what about you?" ”
After a pause, he added: "If a person's ability is too strong, it will only lead to an uneven distribution of the team's resources, as long as it is aimed at you, it is not difficult to win, and besides, I will definitely snatch Meixi from you, because you don't deserve her." ”
After Xu Zifeng heard this, he was not annoyed, but smiled at him, then stretched out his middle finger at him and said disdainfully: "Meixi is already my woman, and her parents have agreed to the marriage between the two of us in the future, do you think you have a chance?" Also, don't cry when you lose. ”
As soon as Xu Zifeng finished speaking, the people on both sides took their seats separately and sat down in the competition seats, the competition area of Xiang'er Internet Cafe is very professional, whether it is the equipment, the competition table or the viewing area, it is almost the same as the professional league, but it is a smaller version.
After Xu Zifeng and the others sat down, they found that someone had already helped them log in to the account in advance, it can be seen that this was prepared in advance by Xie Long's waiter, Xu Zifeng created a voice channel, and then asked a few people to add in the voice channel, after making sure that there was no problem with the voice channel, Xing Zhuoxing suddenly said loudly: "There is no problem on our side." ”
Xu Zifeng also said when he heard this: "We have no problem. ”
Xie Long stood in the middle and heard both sides say that there was no problem, so he said: "For the sake of fairness, each of you will send one person from each team to guess the boxing decision, and that side has the right to the first choice." ”
"No, let it be given to them." Xu Zifeng wanted to prove to Zhang Mingli that their Fengyun team was definitely strong and worthy of his investment and sponsorship, so he gave up his right to first choice.
Of course, not necessarily the preferred side will have an advantage.
Think differently.
The biggest advantage of the first choice is that after the ban on heroes ends, you can be the first to choose the strongest hero of the current version, and you can also give priority to the tactical core heroes that you are about to use.
For example, Lexier, Leopard Girl, Bull Head, Ball Girl, etc.
Or a key core system hero.
But.
The latter also has an advantage, and that is counter!
Commonly known as the back hand against!
Therefore, it is not that the first choice must have an advantage, this is a fair competitive game, many people only think that the first choice can give priority to the hero, there is a lot of choice, so they feel that the first choice has the advantage of choosing people, but they ignore that the latter side also has its own advantages.
"Xu Zifeng, are you really sure to give up the first choice on your own initiative?" Xie Long confirmed to Xu Zifeng again.
"Sure." Xu Zifeng replied.
"Okay, Xing Zhuoxing, you can create a room here, after you create it, you can open your friends and invite them into the room." Xie Long said.
This is the game uniform, the account is their Xiang'er Internet café to the official application, at present, many Internet cafes and Internet cafes across the country are holding League of Legends competitions, the account with the game uniform is fairer than the players, heroes, runes are all there, that is to say, everyone's starting line is the same, there is no unfair phenomenon such as rune suppression.
Half a minute later.
Xing Zhuoxing created a room and pulled Xu Zifeng and the five people in, after the two sides confirmed that there was no problem in the room, the game started, and in the next second, both sides came to the hero Ban selection screen at the same time.
Follow.
The big screen lit up, Zhang Mingli, Long Xue'er, and Xie Long sat in the audience area and watched the big screen, in addition, there were also several curious Internet customers around the viewing area, they were all playing League of Legends, and when they were playing the game just now, they suddenly heard movement around them and came over curiously to take a look, but they didn't expect a game to watch, so they stood still and didn't leave.
After Zhang Mingli found out, he instructed Xie Long to let those onlookers enter the viewing area to watch, and it didn't take long for the people in the viewing area to gradually increase, these people are all customers who are surfing the Internet in Xiang'er Internet Cafe, ninety percent of the customers are playing League of Legends, and one percent of the customers are curious, and they also come to watch.
Although the business of Xiang'er Internet Cafe is not good now, it is not a good one, but the occupancy rate is far from reaching the goal of profitability.
Zhang Mingli also knows that this is the charm of the live game, although they don't know what the strength of the two teams is, but after having the atmosphere of the game, everyone doesn't mind taking a moment to take a look, just join in the fun.
He had invested in several teams before, including the local team in Kunming, and the Shanghai head office had also invested in several teams, but in terms of effect alone, it was not good, and it did not achieve his expected goals, so in the end he did not sponsor any team.
Originally, he thought about officially sponsoring a professional team, but the sponsorship of the professional team was too sought-after, compared with those electronic product manufacturer tycoons, his net worth was not qualified to rob others, the weaker team, he was not interested, and the stronger team, he couldn't grab it, so that until now, Xiang'er Internet Cafe does not have a team with strength and symmetrical reputation.
If Long Xue'er hadn't taken the initiative to call him, to be honest, he himself wouldn't have been interested in discussing the details of sponsorship with an unknown team like Xu Zifeng and them, because he didn't even have a preliminary interest in sponsorship.
To put it bluntly, he is a businessman, and he will not do unprofitable things, of course, changing the name of the Internet café to his daughter's name is the most loss-making decision he has made in his life, but he has never regretted it.
"Uncle Zhang, you believe me, Xu Zifeng and they will definitely win, and they will win very beautifully, you should prepare the money and the contract." Long Xue'er pouted.
"Haha." Zhang Mingli laughed twice when he heard this, then touched her head dotingly, and said: "You girl, if it weren't for you, I would still be talking about other business in Shanghai, how could I come to Kunming to meet them?" If they really have the strength, millions of sponsorships are not a problem for me at all. ”
"Hey, hey." Long Xue'er laughed happily.
"By the way, girl, in fact, you are so enthusiastic about helping them, do you like one of their little boys?" The two sides were banning the selection of heroes, and before the game officially started, Zhang Mingli looked at Long Xue'er and asked.
Long Xue'er let out an "oops", then wrinkled her cute nose, and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't talk nonsense, how can I like them?" ”
"Don't hold on, if it weren't for the fact that you like it, you would work so hard to help them find sponsorship?" Zhang Mingli is a smart person, if there is no special reason, with Long Xue'er's character, he will never ask him, after all, he is good friends with Long Xue'er's father, and he has business dealings, he can be regarded as watching Long Xue'er grow up, and he knows very well what Long Xue'er's character is.
"I didn't." Long Xue'er shook her head.
"What's there to be shy about? You have grown into a big girl now, you are no longer the little girl you used to be, falling in love is a necessary stage of life, I guess your parents also want you to find a boyfriend to visit them abroad. Zhang Mingli said.
"Anyway, none of them like me, I like the kind of guy who is tall, handsome, and sunny, and then spoils me, coaxes me to be happy every day, and regards my little temper as a virtue, do you think they look like?" Long Xue'er pouted.
"I think Xu Zifeng is good." Zhang Mingli said with a smile.
"Xu Zifeng?" Long Xue'er was stunned.
"Well, although he is not tall and handsome, his appearance is definitely not bad, and a man is handsome and can't be eaten, the important thing is ability. I can feel that he should be a very good young man, and in his eyes, I see a very strong confidence that he should have a great future in the future. Zhang Mingli said.
If Xu Zifeng heard this, he would definitely be very surprised, because he would never have imagined that Zhang Mingli would have such a high evaluation of him.
"Oh, these are your personal guesses Uncle Zhang, besides, don't look at him as handsome or tall, but he is still a sought-after item, he now has a very beautiful and sensible girlfriend, and then there is a very good girl behind him who likes him, I really don't understand, I don't understand, what do they think in their hearts, how can they like this type?" Long Xue'er said with a look of incomprehension.
"Haha, maybe it's because you haven't discovered the good things about him yet, and when you find out one day, maybe you will like him like them?" Zhang Mingli said with a smile.
"No, I will never like Xu Zifeng, even if all the good men in the world are dead, I will not like him." Long Xue'er said firmly.
"Don't talk so hard first, so that you have no way out. Because what will happen to this kind of thing in the future, no one can say for sure at present, and we can only let time slowly prove it. As soon as Zhang Mingli finished saying this, the lineups of the two sides had been selected.
