In the arena, the quarterfinals match between Feng Yiliu and Seems Real Wind was still going on. The match was very exciting, but the audience and the players were a bit distracted. They felt like something big had happened, but they didn't know what it was.
The committee hadn't explained anything to them, nor had they announced any information. The match seemed to be going on as usual, but everyone's minds were a little distracted. They were more curious about what had happened. The reporters were also doing their best to follow up on this matter, but up until now, there hadn't been any news.
Li Huailin was also a little distracted. He didn't pay much attention to Feng Yiliu's situation on the stage. He could guess who was behind this, but what was the other party's goal? This matter was getting more and more interesting. Li Huailin wanted to see what exactly was going on.
As he was thinking, Li Jianyi suddenly walked over to the player area. He looked like he was having a headache. Seeing Li Jianyi appear, Jiang Xueyi immediately went up and asked: "Director Li, what's going on?"
"It's a bit of a headache." Li Jianyi looked like he had specifically come to greet them. "A few A-rank players are causing trouble. It seems like they broke down with the committee, so they directly withdrew from the competition."
"Causing trouble? Why? "Li Huailin went up and asked.
"Apparently, it's because of the treatment of A-rank players. Now that you think about it, an S-rank player like Huailin, your annual salary, bonuses, appearance fees, advertising fees, and bonuses are in the tens of millions. On the other hand, the majority of A-rank players don't even make 1% of what you make. Even though this situation is tacitly accepted in the pro scene, it doesn't make sense." Li Jianyi rubbed his head as he spoke.
There wasn't much to say about this. Jiang Xueyi and Talent Famous were both A-rank players. Now that they had become A-rank players, their income had increased by five to six times. This was only the first season, so the two understood how hard it was for A-rank players. If A-rank players were like this, then there was no need to talk about B-rank players. It was said that many B-rank players had to apply for the government's minimum wage. There were also many B-rank players who were part-time pro players. In their free time, they had to help their studios farm gold coins and dungeons. It was very tiring.
"Why did they choose this time to cause trouble?" Li Huailin asked. Even though Yin Xiaoyin had said some bullsh * t about protecting the rights of the players, Li Huailin didn't believe it at all. This was too f * cking ridiculous. If you said there wasn't something fishy going on, he wouldn't believe it.
"Yeah. When the competition was about to start, Yin Xiaoyin and Atomic Dust started negotiating with the committee. Of course, it involved the company's alliance. Everyone was called over. The A-rank players who participated in the finals all protested, including our company's Lin Jing. What a pain in the ass … But I'm not the one who suffered the most. Dong Zhongxing's three A-rank players are probably vomiting blood from anger right now," Li Jianyi said with a bitter smile.
"Now it looks like the negotiation failed, so the other party refused to continue the competition," Li Huailin said.
"Yeah, their demands are too high. According to their demands, the A-rank players' treatment will be increased several times. At the same time, the B-rank players' treatment will also be increased. There are too many things involved. Just the company's operations will need to be completely changed, so there's no way to respond immediately. This is something that needs to be discussed in detail during the company's summit." Li Jianyi said, "The committee wants them to finish the finals first, then discuss this matter. Of course, they definitely rejected it. It looks like they're preparing to blow this matter up. I'm guessing that in a while, someone will be reporting this to the media."
"What do you think, Manager Li?" Jiang Xueyi asked.
"My opinion is actually not very important. Our company doesn't have many A-rank players. Even if we increase their treatment, it won't affect the company too much. However, other companies, such as ZTE Group and Guangping Group, will be in trouble. According to the number of A-rank players in their companies, once the conditions are put forward, they will simply cry. Other than these big companies, a few small companies can't handle it. Although they don't have many A-rank players to begin with, there are already problems with their operations. Now that they have to fork out this amount of money, they probably won't be able to handle it. " Li Jianyi said. "Actually, our company would also have a headache if it was originally like this, but the company's operations have been going well recently, so I don't think it'll be a problem for me. Whether they agree or not in the end, I don't have any opinion," Li Jianyi said.
After saying that, Li Jianyi sighed directly, "To be honest, I really don't know what these people are thinking. If this goes on, it might not be a good thing for them."
"En?" Li Huailin didn't know much about the business side of things, so he asked, "What's going on?"
"Although the treatment of A-rank players is indeed a bit low, according to their current conditions, whether or not the A-Rank League can continue is a problem. Originally, the operation of the A-Rank League isn't very profitable. It can't be compared to the S-rank league. If it increases the burden of the company, which company would still be willing to invest in the A-Rank League? Which company would still be willing to support A-rank players? Isn't this neglecting the essentials?" Li Jianyi said.
"Their goal is to increase the number of companies in the Alliance," Famous General Zhicai suddenly said.
"En?" Everyone was stunned.
"Right now, there are only a total of 16 companies in the Alliance. These 16 companies not only control the recommendation of S-rank players, but also the recommendation of A-rank players. Their goal is to open up the Alliance. If the specifications of the Alliance exceed 16 companies, then naturally, more companies will be able to support and recommend A-rank players," Famous General Zhicai said.
"Is that so?" Li Jianyi was shocked. Although the other party hadn't made this request yet, the more Li Jianyi thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. "If the structure of the Alliance of 16 companies is broken, too many things will be involved. This is really a bit too difficult. Not to mention other things, just the profit from the share of the ratings involves billions of funds. It won't be easy for other companies to join in. "
"Billions." Li Huailin nodded. "No wonder there are so many people eyeing this. After all, the cake is big. Seeing you 16 companies eat it, there will definitely be people who are jealous."
"Huailin, you mean that the trouble caused by these A-rank players is being pushed by other companies who want to enter the Alliance?" Li Jianyi's eyes lit up.
"If there's no one to back them up, I don't think these people would dare to do this. After all, it's the current Alliance that pays their salaries," Li Huailin said.
Ming Zhicai lowered his head and didn't say anything. He seemed to know something, but he didn't say anything. Li Huailin noticed the situation, but he didn't say anything.
"That makes sense." Li Jianyi nodded. "It seems that this matter isn't that simple. It involves the interests of the company. I have to pay attention to it. Huailin, I can't take care of things on my side. I'll leave the competition to you."
After saying that, Li Jianyi left in a hurry. He was probably preparing to go. Looking at the situation, he probably wanted to inform the other bosses first. After all, this concerned the interests of all the Alliance's companies.
"What a f * cking headache." Li Huailin facepalmed. Of course, he wasn't thinking about the Alliance. It had nothing to do with him. What he was worried about was the Nations Cup. It was a little troublesome.
It was obvious that the contestants for the Nations Cup would be the same as the finals. There would be 24 S-ranked contestants and 8 A-ranked contestants. Now, all the A-ranked contestants had gone to cause a revolution. There were still 10 days left until the Nations Cup. No one knew if this group of people would be able to handle it. If they could not, wouldn't they be down 8 people?
Of course, it was also possible to replace them with the other 8 S-rank players. However, doing so would obviously be a little … too big. Even the people from other countries knew that something had happened to the A-rank players from Hua Xia region. The committee had to consider this situation. In short, there were still 10 days before the Nations Cup, but they couldn't even decide on the contestants. This gave Li Huailin, the team leader, an abnormally big headache.
"Even if the A-rank players participate, the leader is still that Yin Xiaoyin. Of course, this guy probably won't cooperate with me. This is a little troublesome," said Li Huailin. "Forget it. We'll talk about it when the time comes."
It was useless to think so much now. However, Li Huailin still decided to follow up on this matter. He would look into it during the dinner break. Of course, now his attention was back on the arena. The match between Feng Yiliu and Seemingly Genuine Wind was almost over.
Just as Li Huailin and the others had guessed, Seemingly Genuine Wind did not plan to use the summoning crystal skill. Instead, he chose to fight a more conventional battle. Although there was nothing surprising about the entire match, the standard of the competition was still quite high.
On the stage, Wind Flow had already been forced into a Battle Immobility state. His HP was low, but he still hadn't fallen. On the other side, Wind Seems Genuine was also almost out of HP. He was barely hanging on by relying on his Magic Shield. He knew that Wind Flow was a Battle Immobility skill, so he no longer cast any spells. Instead, he focused all of his energy on maintaining his Magic Shield. Now, it all depended on whether or not Wind Flow could break his Magic Shield.
-1203。
At the last moment, Feng Yiliu's powerful slash finally took away Seemingly Genuine Wind's last strand of HP. At the same time, the skill ended and he fell. The referee quickly walked over and announced Feng Yiliu's victory to the two corpses.
Although the audience was a little concerned about the situation over there, they still gave a warm applause for the match.
