Luo Sheng looked at Wang Qiwei who was standing in front of him, and said: "Go ahead and do it boldly, and all those who have been recorded in the past who are swimming on the gray edge will be swept away." To reverse the atmosphere of the entire industry, we must first pinch off the source of this unhealthy trend, don't be afraid, what is there for the group company to cover the WRPO division. ”

Wang Qiwei nodded again and again, Luo Sheng's words are undoubtedly a powerful booster, the original NeoTV, which hosted the domestic WCG, is the most vocal, and the nerves are tense when playing in the sub-divisions, but it's okay in other places, especially in the capital sub-division.

You don't dare to mess with some players or teams, in a place like the capital, the ghost knows if they are the children of a rich family or whether the background can reach the sky, in case they kick the iron plate, the competition here will not be able to continue, so the qualifiers in these sub-divisions are all a false stroke.

Backed by Bluestar Technology Group, there are state-owned assets behind this large group, such as Huajin Securities, as well as a large number of thunderous foreign capital, and the name of Bluestar Technology is the biggest background of the WRPO Division.

Obviously, this gives Wang Qiwei a huge confidence in his work, as long as he does things according to the process, his waist is also hard, no matter which rich second generation you are, you have to follow the specifications of WRPO.

Luo Sheng didn't ask too much, and then he learned about the investment promotion of the WRPO division.

Wang Qiwei said: "At present, the research and establishment of the WRPO division mainly includes ticket sales, catering, event merchandise and sponsors. ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng nodded, and then said: "Don't be in a hurry to make money, this little bit of small profit can't support a beautiful performance statement, the current few years are mainly to cultivate the market to expand the market, the deficit here is nothing in the eyes of the company, it is not as good as the network fee paid by a website to the operator of the company." ”

Wang Qiwei, who heard this, couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart, there was nothing wrong with what he said, and he had not been in Bluestar Technology for a long time, but he also knew that the company liked to do "long-term" business, and liked to invest in the early stage and harvest in the later stage.

"Mr. Luo, the WRPO has been doing well in attracting investment recently, and has attracted a lot of sponsors." Wang Qiwei immediately took out a document and handed it to him, and then added: "Samsung Group provided a batch of monitors and a sponsorship fee worth $5 million to sponsor the first event next year, I believe that the sponsorship fee can be used to make them ask for a higher price in the second session, in addition to the keyboard manufacturer Cherry from Germany, the sponsorship fee is as high as $6.3 million, a year of sponsorship." ”

Wang Qiwei has a little pride in his words, and he has to say it when he does something, which is the outstanding performance that the WRPO division can do at present.

"How much sponsorship can a keyboard manufacturer make? Can keyboard manufacturers be so generous? I know a little about Cherry, but the profit of this company should not be high, right? Luo Sheng said in surprise when he heard this.

Of course, this amount of money is no different from more than 600 yuan in his eyes, but this is also a real more than 6 million US dollars, which is really a bit exaggerated as a sponsorship fee.

And just a keyboard manufacturer.

"That's right, in fact, Cherry's performance is not only very bad, but also worse ......year by year" Wang Qiwei saw Luo Sheng's curious look, and immediately recalled the business he negotiated with the Germans, this sponsorship was negotiated by him personally, and immediately introduced his achievements to the big boss.

In fact, Wang Qiwei was able to negotiate this expensive sponsorship cooperation with the Germans because of the word "esports" and the bad situation of Cherry itself.

Now the market is not in pursuit of mechanical keyboards, because the simple structure, good waterproof and low price of membrane keyboards have captured almost all of the market share, especially in the thinnest and lightest laptops are the only choice, from the nineties to the present, membrane keyboards have been firmly dominating people's computer desktops.

Such a market environment forced well-known manufacturers such as ALPS and NEC to abandon mechanical keyboards, and only Cherry, which invented the MX axis, retained the mechanical keyboard business.

But also dying.

Wang Qiwei relied on his strong business ability to negotiate with the Germans, and clearly told Cherry that only WRPO could save their mechanical keyboard business, because WRPO has their lucky goddess - e-sports.

And Luo Sheng, who has the memory of the previous life, knows that the mechanical keyboard business can compete against the market and surpass, that is, by the vigorous development of the e-sports industry, but what did not surprise him was that Wang Qiwei could also have such a vision, which surprised him.

This world is really full of capable people, it depends on whether you can meet Bole.

Wang Qiwei gushed endlessly: "I don't know if Mr. Luo has seen the third-person operation of interstellar professional players, for these e-sports professional players with fast movements and extremely fast operations, they can't need membrane keyboards anyway, and membrane keyboards are not durable, usually only a few million times can be used, and the life of the shaft body of the mechanical keyboard can reach more than 50 million operations." ”

Luo Sheng couldn't help but nod and said with a smile: "It makes sense, e-sports players, especially star players, have the ability to carry goods efficiently, and the temptation of game otaku is no less than that of women who are obsessed with lipstick." ”

"Mr. Luo really looks at the fire, in a word." Wang Qiwei seized this opportunity to decisively incarnate as "Wang Lick Wei" to lick a wave first, and then said: "My idea is to cooperate with Cherry to strive to package mechanical keyboards from simple electronic devices to a youth subculture." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Qiwei couldn't help but add with a smile: "After all, the majority of e-sports players are rookies, but they all have the heart to become a master, and an expensive mechanical keyboard in addition to having a good feel, the most important thing is that it can make a rookie player inexplicably produce the self-illusion of becoming an e-sports master." ”

Luo Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said: "It's okay, it's quite thoughtful planning, and it's very imaginative." However, the key lies in e-sports players, and it is e-sports players who have a strong ability to carry goods, especially star players. If I were the owner of Cherry, I wouldn't be looking for you WRPO, but would directly sponsor star players, which would be more cost-effective. ”

Wang Qiwei immediately said: "This Mr. Luo, you can rest assured, the WRPO of the alliance, the players and clubs registered under the system have a common agreement, and the development of part of the commercial value is discussed by the WRPO business department, and finally the WRPO and the club and the players are divided." ”

In fact, if you expand your focus from individual players to clubs, or even the entire WRPO system, its income is definitely not limited to advertising or endorsements.

Just like most professional leagues in traditional sports, there are many ways for a team or club to make money, including broadcasts, tickets, advertising, and multiple revenues from media partnerships, merchandise such as apparel, drinks, and sponsorships under the WRPO system.

Although the share ratio is small, but there are many profit points, isn't he fragrant when he finally calculates the general account?

Building such an ecosystem is by no means achieved overnight, and the initial investment is definitely large, the continuous deficit is undoubted, and the specific effect depends on the success of the first session and whether it can be recognized by sponsors.

To put it bluntly, it depends on the market influence of the new brand WRPO.

The domestic market is now the smallest, such as broadcasting, but like South Korea, there must be broadcast fees, South Korea's e-sports industry is at the forefront of the world, like South Korea's famous star player "Boxer", is also one of the founders of the birth of SKT1 Club, and its influence in South Korea is higher than that of local first-line film and television superstars.

All this speaks to the commercial potential of esports, where esports players are as influential as A-list superstars or national athletes.

At least that's the case in South Korea.

Luo Sheng will not doubt that he knows better than anyone in this world how prosperous and influential the e-sports industry will be in the next ten years, especially in thirty years.

Luo Sheng didn't stay in the WRPO business department for too long, had a general understanding of the situation, ordered some affairs and left.

As the founder of Bluestar Technology Group and Cote d'Azur, at the helm of these two companies, Luo Sheng will not be too long if he has a relaxed time.

No, with the completion and commissioning of the data center in Sioux City, there is also a preliminary foundation for the development of artificial intelligence to be put on the agenda.

Luo Sheng has long wanted to develop artificial intelligence, but due to the current environment, the hardware foundation cannot be done, and the big data center is one of the infrastructures for the development of artificial intelligence.

Developing artificial intelligence is a big project, and the current hardware infrastructure is still not enough, and it has to be continuously upgraded.

But at least the frame can be put up
