One of the executives couldn't help but think about it and said: "Samsung is determined to stop WCG, and it is estimated that the brand will be distributed to the event organization of each country, and without the World Finals, the WCG cake is equivalent to giving it up." ”

Fang Hongyuan looked at the big screen on the stage of the venue, and after a while, he retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Judging from the effect of the finals, it's not that WCG is no longer good, it's not that users don't have demand, but that Samsung's strategic transformation no longer needs WCG." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Hong tilted his head to look at the executive next to him: "Send someone to South Korea, buy it directly from WCG or buy it with ICM as a whole." ”

The executive next to him nodded in response, "Understood." ”

Fang Hong thought for a while and then said: "If we enter the arena, the impact on the e-sports industry may be a historic change. ”

"Only a world-class event like WCG can mobilize and connect all links, so that they can temporarily put aside their estrangement and antagonism, and clench their fists to promote the development of the esports industry externally."

"Who will be able to hold up the world-class banner of esports in the future? It must have a strong economy and execution to relay in the world, and it must also be tolerant and patient, and be able to accept e-sports projects and e-sports organizations that are not pleasing to each other. ”

"After we take over, we will raise the professionalism and specifications of the WCG event by a few notches, and make it the highest honor achievement of major e-sports projects."

The executive next to him nodded again and replied, "Understood." ”

The WCG event project has been doing for 14 years, in fact, it is doing very well, and after taking over, I only need to increase the budget and optimize it slightly, and there is no need for large-scale adjustments.

This is also due to the expansion of the financial owner Samsung Group in previous years, from 2000 to 2006, Samsung developed rapidly in the context of the depreciation of the Korean won, semiconductor and plasma display technology and other technological leadership, and WCG was actually very beautiful in those years.

Since 2004, the WCG has embarked on a world tour, taking the finals in San Francisco, Singapore in 2005, and Limonza in 2006, almost following the Olympic model.

But since 2006, Samsung has been subject to the rise of the Korean won and a series of company management shocks and other reasons, its electronic semiconductors, LCD, mobile phone profits continued to decline, in 2009 to the bottom, that year the WCG World Finals was originally intended to be placed in the magic capital of China.

Helplessly, the demon didn't take a fancy to it, and didn't give any resources to support it.

It is also from 2009 that Samsung has implemented a strategic transformation, focusing on LED-TV TV and Galaxy-S series mobile phones, Samsung's money-making sector, TV and mobile phones are getting farther and farther away from e-sports, and its internal budget at the end of the year is a fixed quarrel over whether to make WCG bigger, and it can be seen that cutting is also a matter of time.

This year, it is the iron heart to cut, which also happens to fulfill Fang Hong's wish, after the WGC was suspended in the previous life, the vacated market was divided by other players.

Now, Fang Hong's decision to directly win WCG is equivalent to occupying the largest market share and the most influential event brand of e-sports, after all, Riot's S series of events last year was very successful but not in its heyday, and Riot is still in awe of WCG, and the same Dota 2 event is not.

At present, the WCG championship is the highest honor of an e-sports project in everyone's minds, and Fang Hong wants to upgrade the event to a few more levels, so that the WCG event will become the "World Cup" and "Olympic Games" in e-sports, become a palace-level honor in e-sports, and carry the world-class banner of e-sports.

If this momentum is maintained, the influence of other events will never be able to overpower the WCG.

At the end, Fang Hong turned around and said, "Let's go to the Warcraft competition venue." ”

After saying that, he turned and left, and everyone else followed, and soon disappeared into the League of Legends arena.

The arena staff next to him looked stunned, and muttered to himself with a shocked face, "Good guy, Waldmar, what did I hear?" WCG is going to change the sky? Is esports going to change? ”

He looked at the direction in which Fang Hong and the others disappeared, and couldn't help but secretly say, "What is the origin of that person?" The rich second generation of a certain giant group? No, the average rich second generation doesn't have that aura, what kind of big guy is ......"

After a while, his colleague came over, and he immediately gossiped with his colleague about what he had heard.

However, the goose, the colleague didn't believe it at all, no matter how he swore it, the colleague just didn't believe what he said when he was a little Karami, no matter how he said it, the colleague directly complained that his brain was Watt, which made him very helpless.

……

On the other side, Fang Hong came to the competition venue of Warcraft 3.

It's also crowded here, the popularity of the scene is very hot, and the atmosphere on the scene is very good, and I don't see that WCG is going to decline at all.

After a while, one of the accompanying bodyguards handed Fang Hong a STAR4 smartphone, and he planned to take a few photos of the scene, and several accompanying security personnel in civilian clothes turned into passers-by and stood aside in twos and threes.

At this moment, Fang Hong took two photos, and then changed the angle to prepare to take another one.

But at this moment, there was a woman on the left side of the front who suddenly walked towards him when she saw Fang Hong, whether this woman was a beauty or not, at most at the middle level, she came to Fang Hong and asked with an unkind expression: "Are you secretly filming me?" ”

Several of the bodyguards accompanying him had already noticed the woman when she was approaching Fang Hong, and one of the bodyguards also immediately headed towards Fang Hong.

At the same time, Fang Hong was also stunned for a moment, it is common to be accosted by beautiful women when he goes out, and this is the first time he has encountered this situation.

But Fang Hong realized in an instant that there was something wrong with it, it stands to reason that his appearance and temperament don't look like the kind of low-level disadvantaged people who are easy to bully.

Is this woman missing a string in her brain, or is it deliberate, or has another purpose?

These are all possible, and Fang Hong also kept an eye on it.

It was slow but fast, and the accompanying bodyguards were about to come up and pull the woman away, but Fang Hong suddenly raised his hand without saying a word, and several bodyguards stopped and stared at the woman when they saw this.

At this time, the woman also noticed this scene, she looked at the bodyguards, but she didn't realize that those people were Fang Hong's security personnel, because the bodyguards who came with this trip were all wearing ordinary clothes, trying to dress up as passers-by, and it seemed that they were friends with Fang Hong, and ordinary people couldn't see it.

The woman's right hand was holding a mobile phone in front of her, and the mobile phone secretly turned on the video and the camera on the back was aimed at Fang Hong and the others, only to see her scolding rudely: "Don't think that I am afraid of you if there are many of you......"

Fang Hong said in an easy-going tone: "Girl, I was filming the scene, and I didn't shoot you secretly." ”

The woman didn't relent, but said: "There is no evidence for shooting or not, open your photo album and let me see if you have taken a picture!" ”

The two executives of Qunxing Capital who accompanied them were stunned in their hearts, and the two of them looked at the woman silently and with strange expressions.

Fang Hong could ignore the woman at all, but his thoughts were racing at the moment, and he suspected that there might be a promoter behind this woman who was targeting him, but he couldn't be sure if he just guessed.

There was nothing in the mobile phone that took pictures, and it was not Fang Hong's usual personal mobile phone, so he simply opened the photo album and showed it to the woman, fulfilling her wish, but wanted to see what she should do next.

After a while, the woman looked at the photo album and was confused.

Three photos of the scene were taken, but she was not in them.

How could there not be?

After a while, the woman said without being straightforward, "Be careful, don't take pictures of others." ”

Fang Hong replied calmly: "Girl, first of all, I didn't photograph you, and secondly, even if I photographed you, everyone has the right to shoot in public, this is not called candid photography." Don't define candid photography arbitrarily, what is candid photography? For example, if you secretly install a camera in a secret room or locker room at home, that is a candid shot. ”

"I use my mobile phone to shoot in public in this public venue, first of all, it is not a clandestine photograph, but if the content I shoot involves some personal information, this cannot be said to be privacy, because you appear in public, this is public information, even if I publish it as long as it does not make a profit, it is not a violation of personal portrait rights or privacy, at most it is a news event, if according to your logic, it is illegal for reporters to shoot in public."

The woman couldn't refute Fang Hong's remarks, so she chose to avoid it and left in a hurry.

At this time, an executive next to him approached and whispered: "Mr. Fang......"

Fang Hong glanced at the woman who was far away and said lightly: "Check that woman, I want to know what purpose she has the motive for this behavior, whether it is purely a delusion of brutal persecution, or whether there is a promoter behind the scenes." ”

The executive nodded in response, "Understood." ”

If it was the former, Fang Hong would naturally not care about her, but if it was the latter, it would be another matter.

After the vignette, Fang Hong ignored the woman anymore, took a few photos at the competition venue of Warcraft 3, and then moved to the venues of other e-sports events to take a look, and left after walking around the convention and exhibition center for about forty minutes.

In the afternoon, Fang Hong ended the trip, and just when he entered the airport to take a private jet back to the new city, Xu Jingren, who was in charge of quantum beating, called him: "Boss, what's the situation?" Why were you posted on Weibo and were cyberbullied, saying that you tried to shoot secretly......"

Fang Hong was stunned: "Huh? Cyberbullying? ”

Xu Jingren on the other end of the phone said: "Yes, I just noticed it, but I just came to ask what the situation is." ”

Xu Jingren doesn't believe it at all, what is the identity of his own boss?

Fang Hongyan replied succinctly: "Well, I know." ”

Xu Jingren immediately said: "I'll go to limit the flow and reduce the heat immediately." ”

Fang Hong suddenly denied: "No, if there is a behind-the-scenes promoter, it will become a target instead, and let the bullets fly for a while." ”

hung up the phone, Fang Hong logged on to Weibo by the way to take a look, and it was really hung up on the Internet, and the popularity was not small.
