Chapter 103 Simple Life
106. Simple life
Tang Wen originally just had a boring idea to set up his own women's team. As for the little money he lost? What a joke, the money Tang Wen earns every day can support the team for a year.
To outsiders who don't know, Tang Wen's move is undoubtedly "selecting concubines", but those who really know Tang Wen know that Tang Wen is just "helping the poor".
It is no exaggeration to say that with Tang Wen's current status, the queue of people can be lined up from Shanghai to Beijing. Tang Wen doesn't care about the rumors on the Internet at all.
At this time, people started to spray each other on the Internet.
Those who support Tang Wen said disdainfully: "They have assets of tens of billions of dollars, do they still need to open a team harem? What's wrong with them being happy to help the poor?"
The trolls kept blackening the "women's team members" and saying that they would do anything to get promoted.
The few girls who were a little hesitant at first, after moving into the big villa arranged by the boss, all their worries disappeared. Just kidding, a villa worth tens of millions, with professional nannies taking care of it, who would care about those rumors.
So when MS posted the current residence and food conditions on the tail, all the haters shut up.
Just kidding, don’t you see that they live in a mansion worth tens of millions, and have professional nannies to take care of their daily life. Even the training computer is the current top configuration.
It is no exaggeration to say that a computer may be a person’s annual income, not to mention other facilities. When MS posted the photos on the tail, many girls who want to play professionally began to sign up for the WF team.
Although Xiao Wang also wants to, his current focus is on the platform. So he was very cunning and dug up a lot of Internet celebrities to form a panda union.
What he meant was that he wanted to play and make money.
In terms of the team, Xiao Wang also formed an IG team, and the members were PD, Baldy, Kazi, Zizi and a child.
Qin Feng also got an FX to help out. The actions of several people quickly attracted the attention of other rich second-generations, and various LOL teams emerged one after another.
After WF Group announced that it would hold the first WCG competition, everyone was surprised to find that the Little Riot, the developer of LOL, had been bought by WF Group.
Moreover, Tang Wen threw a battle royale mode to Little Riot Company and asked them to develop it within this year.
After learning that LOL was Tang Wen's company, Xiao Wang kept asking Tang Wen for "compensation". Tang Wen was so annoyed by him that he gave him a full skin account, and Xiao Wang happily let him go.
The organizer of the first WCG of LOL was WF Group. This time, Tang Wen waved his hand and awarded the global champion 10 million US dollars, the runner-up 5 million, and the third place 1 million.
The regional champion 2 million US dollars, the runner-up 800,000, and the third place 200,000.
The high prize money immediately attracted game enthusiasts from all over the world. This LOL competition is divided into 5 regions, namely China, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and South Africa.
Each region has 4 places to advance to the global championship. Because of the large number of people in China, a separate division was established, and Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia were divided into the Asia-Pacific division.
In addition, two women's teams will be selected from each division. The global champion will receive a reward of 2 million US dollars, the runner-up will receive 1 million, and the third place will receive 500,000.
The global finals will be held in the Magic City of China. As for the venue, Tang Wen plans to directly build an e-sports stadium. Anyway, it's just "small money".
Tang Wen, who thought he would lose money, unexpectedly discovered that major manufacturers attach great importance to this event. The mouse brand Electric Snake, as well as the manufacturers of Xxiang computers and several major graphics card brands are waving money to sponsor.
"In other words, not only did we not pay a penny in prize money? We also made tens of millions?" Tang Wen was speechless after listening to Zhou Xu's offer.
"Yes, boss. Mainly Nvidia graphics cards, Electric Snake, Xxiang computers, Miller gaming chairs, German che keyboard manufacturers, Korean Xstar, and Taiwan's RK and other well-known manufacturers have quoted prices of about 5 million."
"Are these people crazy? Is a competition worth their efforts?" Tang Wen was a little speechless.
"Boss, you don't know that these brands invest no less than 10 million US dollars in advertising every year. They will not miss such a good publicity opportunity." Zhou Xu explained with a smile.
After listening to Zhou Xu's words, Tang Wen nodded thoughtfully.
"It's still the otakus and programmers who have money." Tang Wen sighed in his heart.
Take Nvidia graphics cards for example. Now the top 1080ti is about 10,000 Chinese yuan, and the expensive ones are more than 30,000. The monitor of Xstar is more than 100,000 Chinese yuan.
These things are so "popular" because of a group of crazy enthusiasts. So for the sponsorship fees of several million, the manufacturers think it is a drizzle.
"Forget it, you take care of the advertising and sponsorship issues. When the time comes, you can contact Panda TV and get Panda TV an exclusive first broadcast." Tang Wen shook his head, not wanting to bother with these trivial matters.
"Got it, boss." Zhou Xu nodded.
The number of people playing League of Legends in China has now exceeded 150 million. More than half of the people in any Internet cafe are playing League of Legends, so you can imagine how popular the game is.
And this time Tang Wen also brought in MQ Group, sold them 20% of the shares, and exclusively authorized MQ Group to operate LOL in China. Of course, Tang Wen wanted 40% of the share.
Although 40% doesn't seem much, it is pure profit. The main operation and promotion need to be done by people from MQ Group.
Social networking has always been MQ's strength. With their promotion, the number of online users of LOL has increased from 100,000 to more than 150 million in one month.
According to MQ's research, the number of online users of LOL this year is likely to exceed 300 million. Tang Wen certainly has nothing to say about this.
Anyway, he is not afraid of losing money in his company, just for a reasonable excuse to "make money". After all, it is impossible to make money in the "foreign exchange" market all the time.
"Boss, Hollywood's Joe Si plans to shoot the second Avengers movie. The people from Disneyland here sent you an invitation letter, asking if you want to make a cameo in it? In addition, they can also provide a few roles." Zhou Xu thought about it and said.
"Oh? Let me make a cameo?"
"Yes, boss."
"It depends on my mood. By the way, let them send the roles over. I'll show them to Nazha and the others someday." Tang Wen thought about it and accepted it. After all, his woman also needs to show her face.
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it."
The current WF Group is not a small company. The relationship between WF Group and those banks and top families in the United States is enough for Hollywood people to pay attention to it.
Not to mention that Tang Wen just "cashed out" a lot from Morgan and Rockefeller.
After handling everything, Tang Wen went to the panda to play with Pang Di for a while before walking towards the "party" place with satisfaction.
He still had some expectations for Huang Yi's proposal. After all, the determination of a bankrupt woman to climb back is very strong.
At 3 pm, Tang Wen arrived at Wanda International on time.
In room 8802, Jiang Lai and Wang Qian looked at Huang Yi with suspicion.
"What's wrong? Do you think I'm lying to you? Of course, if you feel regretful, you can leave at any time. I won't force you." Huang Yi crossed her beautiful legs and admired the red wine in one hand.
"I won't give up this opportunity." Wang Qian took a deep breath, calmed down and sat aside.
"What about you? Jiang Lai? I heard that your current situation is not very optimistic. The cost of going abroad is not cheap." Huang Yi chuckled.
"I, I will stay too." Jiang Lai opened her mouth but finally did not have the courage to step out of the door.
"That's right, do you know how difficult it is to see him? We are grasshoppers on the same line now, don't blame me for being too realistic." Huang Yi said self-deprecatingly.
Both of them kept silent.
"You all know how glorious I was before, but what about now? You should know more about the things in this circle than I do. Do you think Ma Piaoliang and Li Lu are cheap?"
"On the contrary, they are smarter than you all."
"You all know the twin sisters of Baodao, right? What is the fate of marrying a fake rich family?"
"So, we have to open our eyes." Huang Yi continued to "educate".
When Huang Yi found them and explained her purpose, they both thought she was crazy. But when she told them about Nazha, Ma Piaoliang and Xiaolu, they were confused again.
At this age, their acting range is getting narrower and narrower. To put it nicely, it is mature. To put it bluntly, they are about to be squeezed out by traffic stars.
There are more than 31 independent art colleges in China, and these are top 211 schools. But ordinary colleges are really numerous.
Then the question is, in this era of new people replacing old people. If you can't achieve top traffic, then you are destined to be abandoned by the market.
Seeing that the two were still struggling, Huang Yi continued to attack.
"Do you know how many people graduated from art schools last year? A full 300,000 people. Do you know how many extras there are in Hengkou? I don't need to say these."
"The opportunity is in your own hands, and I don't need to say more about the others."
Huang Yi can be said to be confident about the two women. No one wants to retreat at the peak of their careers, and no one wants to be unknown. So she can be said to have a thorough understanding of the two women.
"What about you? What do you want?" After all, Wang Qian was also "popular" for a period of time, and she has a longer-term perspective than "newbies" like Jiang Lai.
"Me? I want a chance to become a prostitute, a chance to be above ten thousand people." Huang Yi's eyes showed excitement.
"Crazy, you are crazy." Jiang Lai muttered to himself.
"Hehe, after experiencing ups and downs, you will find that women can also have ambitions." Huang Yi sneered.
The two women who were choked by Huang Yi's words looked at each other as if they saw the meaning of competition.
After all, they will use "strength" to speak in a while.
"Knock, knock, knock"
As the knock on the door sounded, Huang Yi stood up with a charming smile, walked to the door and opened it.
"Mr. Wen, it's a pleasure to work with you." After saying that, Huang Yi closed the door with her backhand.
