In the main human city, Li Huailin finally contacted Li Jianyi. Looking at Li Jianyi's expression, Li Huailin was a little worried. It seemed like he had been working hard for the past few days. Although he couldn't see his expression, his face was really scary. If this continued, this guy's gaming cabin would probably alarm the security system.
Arriving with Li Huailin were Feng Yiliu, General Talent, Jiang Xueyi, and the others. As the S-rank professional players' meeting was about to begin, they were called over in advance. As for the A-rank player called Lin Jing, she had yet to arrive. No one knew where she was.
"What's going on?" Li Huailin asked.
"I just finished a meeting. This time, Tianyu Corporation is going to play it big," Li Jianyi said.
"Play it big?" Jiang Xueyi came over and said, "What big?"
"Tianyu Corporation has proposed a new bonus model for this year's League of Nations," Li Jianyi said. Li Jianyi said, "In the past, the Nations Cup also had a certain amount of prize money. I'm sure everyone knows this. The previous situation was roughly based on the country's ranking. Last year, the prize money for the first place was 3 million US dollars. The total prize money was about 6.5 million US dollars, and this money was basically divided from the television ratings of each country."
"We know about this." Feng Yiliu said, "Manager Li, when you said that we're going to play it big, did you mean that the bonus for this year's competition is very high?"
"It's not like that at all." Li Jianyi said, "The bonus is indeed very high. At least, it seems so. However, if you think about it carefully, it's actually very scary."
"Very scary?" General Talent asked, "What's going on?"
"Liu Heyun's condition is that the registration fee will be used as funds for the bonus pool," Li Jianyi said.
"Huh? Registration fee? "Everyone was stunned.
"Yes. Everyone in the national team has to pay 100 million US dollars to enter the bonus pool. This means that if our Hua Xia team wants to participate, we have to pay at least 3.2 billion US dollars to enter the competition," Li Jianyi said.
"100 million USD per person? Isn't the registration fee a little too high? "Jiang Xueyi exclaimed. General Talent and Feng Yiliu were also shocked.
"Tianyu Corporation wants money? I remember the last time I saw that there were about 900 players participating in the Nations Cup. If that's the case, it would be at least 90 billion USD, "Li Huailin said after thinking for a while.
"It's fine if Tianyu Corporation wants money, but it's still a simple matter," Li Jianyi said, "Not only does he not want money, but he also wants to subsidize the competition."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned again.
"In fact, the 100 million USD per person registration fee that I mentioned just now is the lowest price. There is no upper limit to the amount that each country can register. In other words, you can pay as much as you want," Li Jianyi said.
"What's the benefit if I pay more?" Li Huailin asked.
"There's no benefit in the competition, but Liu Heyun said that no matter how much money we pay, he will pay the same amount. For example, if all of our countries put up 100 billion USD, Tianyu Corporation will also put up 100 billion USD. Then, this 200 billion USD will be the total prize money of the competition," Li Jianyi said.
"Tianyu Corporation is that rich?" Jiang Xueyi was stunned. This Tianyu Corporation was too domineering. Not only did they pay the same amount of money as the competition committee of all the countries, but they didn't even set an upper limit. Just how rich did they have to be to say something like that?
"I don't know about that, but it seems that the competition committee of all the countries have recognized Tianyu Corporation's ability to pay," Li Jianyi said.
"Wait … Doesn't this mean that if we don't get good results, not only will we not get the prize money, but we might also lose money?" Feng Yiliu suddenly realized this problem. This was indeed a big deal. In the past, if the results weren't good, it would only be a problem of reputation. But now, before the Hua Xia region even played, it meant that they had already invested 3.2 billion USD. If they didn't get good results, wouldn't they lose a lot of money?
"That's why I said it's a big deal." Li Jianyi said, "Now you know how much of a headache we have. Let alone the competition committee, we are also having a headache. It's impossible for the competition committee to fork out so much money. In other words, we have to rely on our company's alliance to solve the problem. This is really …"
"Doesn't this become a gamble?" The famous general suddenly said, "Put down the capital … and then look at the profit …"
"You can say that. And it's a huge gamble that involves a huge amount of money," Li Jianyi said.
"Then did the company alliance agree to this proposal?" Feng Yiliu asked.
"The clubhouse has been open for the whole afternoon, and there are people arguing endlessly." Li Jianyi shook his head and said, "In fact, our companies can still afford 3.2 billion USD. The problem is that we don't know how much profit we will get. Of course, according to the general calculation, since Tianyu Corporation is willing to fork out the same amount of money, it means that the prize money may be doubled, and the profit may be 100%. But after all, this is related to the results, so in the end, we still need to ask for the opinions of the contestants."
After saying that, Li Jianyi looked directly at Li Huailin and said, "Of course, Huailin, you are the captain of the Hua Xia region. They will definitely ask you later. Now, tell me your opinion first."
"There's such a f * cking good thing?" Li Huailin also took a while to digest the current situation, and then suddenly laughed, "This Liu Heyun is too awesome. He really suits my taste."
"Uh …" Compared to the previous competitions, this time's National Cup was obviously a little different. Because if the results were not good, it might cause a huge loss. Therefore, when Feng Yiliu and the others heard the news, their first reaction was to worry. If they did not get good results, it would be troublesome. However, Li Huailin did not seem to worry about this problem at all, so the others on his side did not know what to say.
"Let me ask first." Li Huailin suddenly said, "You said that there is no upper limit to the amount of money, right? What about the time to pay? Do we need to pay all the money before the competition? "
"I also asked about this, but Liu Heyun said that it is too late to collect the money before the competition. The countries can submit the amount of money they want to pay first, and then settle it together after the competition is over. In other words, for example, if the prize money we win is 10 billion, then we will directly deduct the registration cost of 3.2 billion and give us 6.8 billion as the prize money," Li Jianyi replied.
"Yes, yes. That's very thoughtful." Li Huailin nodded, then suddenly raised his hand and said, "Registration, we will start with a base price of 10 billion."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. Even Li Jianyi was stunned for a long time before he reacted. "Huailin, do you mean that we will pay a registration fee of 10 billion?"
"Starting from 10 billion." Li Huailin said, "Anyway, Tianyu will compensate us with the amount we pay. The more we pay, the more we pay."
"No, no, no, Huailin, this is not a joke. We are paying 10 billion. If we lose the competition, our company and the alliance can't afford to pay so much money. Something bad will happen." Li Jianyi immediately said, "If it is 3.2 billion, we will be able to pay it. But 10 billion, even the ZTE Group can't afford it."
Indeed, the current market value of the ZTE Group was about 35 billion yuan (ZTE Group also had a lot of other businesses), which was more than 5.5 billion US dollars. If they lost, the whole group would collapse. Huaxing Media was even smaller. Its current market value was only about 4.4 billion yuan, which was less than 700 million US dollars. They could not afford it even if they sold everything they had.
"Don't think about losing." Li Huailin said with a smile, "How much was our prize money last year?"
"Last year, we were sixth in the Nations Cup, and the prize money was 300,000 US dollars," Feng Yiliu said.
"Look, you said before that the total prize money last year was 6.5 million US dollars, and we only got 300,000, which is about 5% of the total prize money. And this year's total prize money, I just calculated, is about 200 billion. This 5% is already 10 billion. We are not losing at all," Li Huailin said.
"Hmm?" Li Jianyi thought about it for a while. What Feng Yiliu said made sense. In the past years, the top countries in the Nations Cup were basically G6 countries. In his impression, Hua Xia's ranking was the worst. At worst, it was the sixth place. Since the sixth place could get about 5% of the prize money, it was not a loss. So as long as they advanced one place, they would make a profit.
Then, he thought about it again. It was said that the prize money for the first place last year was 3 million US dollars, which was about half of the total prize money. If they won the first place, they would get 100 billion US dollars directly. After deducting the cost of 10 billion US dollars, they would make a net profit of 90 billion US dollars. What the hell was going on? Was it faster than robbing a bank? Even robbing a bank required some effort to carry the money into the car. This was simply waiting for the money to come to them.
It was said that in the eyes of businessmen, once the profit exceeded 300%, they could ignore any laws. Li Jianyi was obviously a businessman. After Li Huailin calculated, this was simply a business that would only make a profit. Moreover, the profit was 900%. In an instant, Li Jianyi's eyes turned red.
"Well … it seems not bad," Li Jianyi said as he controlled his emotions.
"That's right." Li Huailin said, "It's not exciting at all without a prize. That's more like it. But it seems a little inappropriate for only us to pay 10 billion US dollars. Is there any way to get other countries to pay more? Anyway, it will be ours in the end. "
"This …" Li Jianyi thought for a while and said, "Why don't I talk to the committee and see if it is possible?"
"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Li Huailin nodded with satisfaction. "Hurry up."
