Chapter 521: Under the Reward
Using prize money to motivate players is undoubtedly Yu Guanfei's proudest housekeeping skill, and it is also his tried-and-true specialty.
Even if each club will set up a variety of bonuses to encourage players and strive to show a more exciting performance on the field, even WIN, which was relatively tight on funds last season, is actually not an exception, almost every round of the game Mu Qing will take out more than 100,000 yuan as bonuses to distribute to Hu Xiaopeng and Xiong Tianci.
But this so-called bonus, in fact, is just to please a good lottery, at best, each person is just thousands to tens of thousands of big red envelopes, how can it be as high as a million bonus like Bing Feng?
Even Yu Guanfei does not spend so much money in every round, only in certain key matches, but in general, it is far more expensive than other clubs in the same class in terms of prize money.
Take WIN as an example, even if WIN sweeps the opponent in the regular season and wins all, then the bonus amount of all the players, including Xiong Tianci, will definitely not exceed one million, and it is enough to support six or seven hundred thousand.
In the entire 38 rounds of the regular season, the total prize budget that WIN needs to prepare will definitely not exceed 20 million, after all, no matter how strong WIN is, then not every round of the game will be a big win, and not every player can get a prize for nothing.
But what about the Ice Maple Club? After the previous match with Lei Ming ended, Yu Guanfei waved his hand and directly approved more than 10 million bonuses.
Such momentum, such wanton profligacy, perhaps it is the rich second generation like Yu Guanfei who has a strong financial background that dares to do so.
Of course, after paying the price of high prize money, Yu Guanfei actually got a corresponding efficient return, because it is with these bonuses that WIN can not reach, this allows them to continue to catch up in the second half of the regular season, and finally successfully enter the top eight by virtue of the sweep in the latter rounds.
It is also because of the prize money of tens of millions in each round of the competition, which makes the Bingfeng Club, which was not favored in the group stage, finally be able to ride the dust in the group stage, not only with a big victory to win the championship favorite Yintu Club, but also to win the first place in the group with the momentum of a dark horse to enter the semi-finals.
Perhaps this also positively verifies the truth contained in the idiom "Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man".
It's just that in the face of such a profound idiom, I'm afraid Yu Guanfei can't really understand the meaning, but it doesn't prevent him from continuing to squander the money in his hand, after all, he must have been familiar with the saying "money can make ghosts grind".
With money, he can recruit many players to play for him, and with money, he can build a strong team with enough strength to compete in the playoffs.
And in order to get unlimited funds for him to squander, Yu Guanfei is bound to "curry" with certain people, such as these people in the VIP box of the Ice Maple Arena today, who are the objects he needs to curry favor with at this time.
But fortunately, these people will never be embarrassed by Guanfei, at most it is just a form of walking, and it is just a proper "acceptance" of Yu Guanfei's achievements, because these so-called distinguished guests are actually the uncles and elders who grew up watching Yu Guanfei since childhood, as well as Yu Jinchang, who has absolute control of Jinrong Group and has won the title of the richest man many times in the past few years.
Yu Jinchang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jinrong Group, has countless wholly-owned subsidiaries and investment enterprises, and its group's main real estate projects are all over the country, and it is a veritable real estate tycoon.
As for Yu Guanfei, it is precisely Yu Jinchang, the only son of the real estate tycoon, who was belated when he was nearly forty years old.
And this is also the fundamental reason why Yu Guanfei will throw a large amount of money into it at such a cost after he takes full control of the frozen club.
After all, compared to the small frozen club, Jinrong Group is a real giant enterprise, and Yu Jinchang, as a father, is also happy to help Yu Guanfei complete his "career", so this is why he came to watch the game this time and plans to increase investment in the Ice Maple Club again.
But can Yu Guanfei really get this investment totaling hundreds of millions of yuan?
For this problem, Yu Guanfei himself has a very full confidence, because he believes that under the high bonus system he has set up, his players have no reason not to do their best.
And in fact, it is true, for the sake of millions of prize money, Bingfeng's players naturally spare no effort.
However, some things will be far beyond the expected range, because although Bingfeng Club defeated WIN at home, what awaits Yu Guanfei is not the investment and final qualification that makes him highly anticipated, but faces dissolution and imprisonment.
Of course, this is still a later story, because now Yu Guanfei is still in the complacent pre-war period, and he continues to offer his courtesy to those uncles who are good friends with his father, looking forward to getting other additional investment funds from them in addition to his father.
"How? Wait for you to be the first to represent our ICE, do you have any confidence? ”
Taking advantage of the fact that most of the players in the battle room were messing around again because of the prize money, You Xiaorong walked up to Cai Wenxiang, the only one among these people who did not have the slightest excitement, and said to him after lightly tapping the table.
"What do you say? I just hope he doesn't let me down. ”
"I shouldn't be disappointed, because the people below just came with the news that he had already gone to the preparation area to prepare, and WIN was the first to start the battle as usual."
"It's finally coming......"
Hearing You Xiaorong's words, Cai Wenxiang seemed a little excited, especially after thinking that he had not been able to find a chance to fight Hu Xiaopeng since the last qualifying match, Cai Wenxiang had been waiting for this day for more than a year.
Seeing Cai Wenxiang's reaction to secretly clenching his fists, You Xiaorong smiled on his face and said again.
"Looks like you're pretty confident, if I'm not mistaken, that guy has won 41 singles games in a row since the regular season, aren't you worried?"
"So what? If you hadn't stopped me the first two times, would he have had a chance to win 41 singles matches in a row? ”
"Hehe, you blame me for this, it's not that I deliberately want to stop you, but Manager Yu thinks it's more suitable for you to fight against that Wu Long and Bao Buping."
"As for the result, you can also see that the two of them, who originally had a good winning rate, lost both battles in your hands, from this point of view, it is enough to prove that Manager Yu's strategy is very correct, right?"
"Heh......"
Hearing that You Xiaorong was actually patting Yu Guanfei's ass again, Cai Wenxiang, who was already unaccustomed to him, of course didn't want to pay attention to it, just sneered in a low voice, and then got up and said to him.
"I'm going to the preparation area to prepare for the game."
"Okay, then I'll wait for news of your victory? Don't forget, the prize money of this game must be won, and you can't disappoint Manager Yu, hear it? ”
"Humph......"
Ignoring You Xiaorong, let alone the high bonus in his words, and not even looking at him, Cai Wenxiang just snorted coldly in a low voice and turned around and walked towards the door of the war conference room.
And Cai Wenxiang had just left the room with his front feet, but You Xiaorong, who was still smiling, seemed to have a hint of ridicule, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the door and whispered to himself.
"What's that? Why would you pretend to be high? What about pretending to treat money like dung with Lao Tzu? ”
"If you really don't care, why did you transfer to play in China when you were doing well at a club in Western Europe? Not for the money yet? ”
"If it weren't for Chrissy's good looks, Lao Tzu would ......"
"yes, this guy guards me like a thief all day long, and if I get him to another club, wouldn't it be easier for Chrissy to do it?"
"It's better to lose Lao Tzu later, so that Lao Tzu has an excuse to fan the flames, hehehe......"
Chrissy ...... Tut-tut......"
You Xiaorong said, his eyes couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chriss, who had come to watch the battle as a training camp player in the combat conference room, and the treacherous look in his eyes was simply annoying, as if Chrissy was already in her boudoir, waiting for her own happiness.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the first semi-final of WIN's away challenge to Bingfeng officially began.
On the WIN side, Hu Xiaopeng still started the game, and this will be his 42nd time representing WIN in the singles competition.
The player who represented Bingfeng to face Hu Xiaopeng was Cai Wenxiang, the "All-Star Rookie King" who entered the professional arena in the same year as Hu Xiaopeng and won the first place in the professional qualifying tournament.
Although there are rumors about the grievances between the two of them, few people know the details of it, let alone know that the two of them almost fought after the qualifying round.
But no matter how much grievance the two of them have, it can't hide that this game is still full of highlights, especially after the on-site commentary pointed out that this was the first meeting between the two in the professional arena, and for a while this singles match seemed to have become an examination room to test who had improved more between the two of them in more than a year.
One is the rookie king, who has been the focus of attention since the beginning of the professional qualifiers.
One is a mechanic who changes the traditional tactics and concepts of the auxiliary IA by himself.
There was no smoke or rumbling gunfire in the whole game, only the metal collision of the two IAs in a melee state.
As for who is the last player to laugh at the smile, this point may have been unsuspenseful since the two first met.
is also a melee type of IA, although every spectator and commentator watching the game must admit that Cai Wenxiang is superior in controlling IA, but Hu Xiaopeng's all-round mechanic is not a pure melee IA, as a support IA player, Hu Xiaopeng has sufficient reasons and ability to repair his IA.
No matter how strong Cai Wenxiang's offensive is, and no matter how difficult Cai Wenxiang's pursuit is, Hu Xiaopeng is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang.
Coupled with the obscene flow and turtle shrinkage that are enough to make Bao Buping sigh to himself, Cai Wenxiang wants to find Hu Xiaopeng who secretly repairs IA in the huge arena, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The already threatening attack ability, coupled with the tenacious vitality that gave Cai Wenxiang an incomparably headache, between the advantages of the other, Cai Wenxiang's fate can naturally be imagined.
After all, in the face of such Hu Xiaopeng, even strongmen such as Ge Mingliang of Fenghuo and Liu Xuanxiang of Yintu are in an embarrassing situation where they have nothing to do, let alone Cai Wenxiang.
Nearly 50 minutes later, Cai Wenxiang lost a game with no suspense, and Bingfeng temporarily fell behind with WIN 0:2.
Listening to the arena that became silent because of his defeat, and looking at the home fans who were all lost because of his defeat, Cai Wenxiang, who was helped out of the cockpit by the medical staff, couldn't help but curse in a low voice, as if to vent the depression and dissatisfaction in his heart.
But in fact, at this time, his heart was quite relaxed, because the regret that had been pressed on his heart for more than a year could finally be let go by him at this time.
