Tao Xuan used to run an Internet cafe?
This answer made Chen Guo stare blankly. She didn't have a good impression of Tao Xuan. Now that she found out that he used to be in the same industry as her, she suddenly felt humiliated.
"I really couldn't tell." Chen Guo said in low spirits.
Ye Xiu smiled, but didn't say anything.
"And then?" Chen Guo followed up with another question because she suddenly realized that Excellent Era's starting point back then had many things that they could learn from them now.
"And then? And then we went everywhere to compete. At that time, the Pro Alliance had already been established, but it was still in its infancy. It didn't have the influence it has today. There were many other Glory competitions just like it. We would sign up for all of them, online and offline. As long as there weren't any conflicts, we wouldn't miss any of them. "Ye Xiu said.
"To train the team?" Chen Guo guessed.
"No … to win the prize money, to keep the team alive, to keep the team alive." Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo stared blankly. Even though she was older than Ye Xiu, she hadn't been in contact with Glory as long as Ye Xiu. She had gone from playing casually to killing time to becoming a Glory fan and starting to pay attention to the Pro Alliance. At that time, the Alliance was already quite large. The teams and players were already quite bright and beautiful. At least, across from Happy, the Excellent Era Club had already settled down. The team emblem had already been hung up. It was completely different from what Ye Xiu had said, where they needed to compete everywhere and rely on the prize money to make a living.
"I don't remember how many matches we played that year, how much prize money we won, and how much we didn't get. But the Glory Pro Alliance was the most stable competition at that time. The prize money was also the highest. A year later, it had already gained a lot of attention. The more sponsorships they receive, the more broadcasts they get, and the more dividends and final bonuses the teams receive. With such a virtuous cycle, the teams and the Alliance are finally growing rapidly, "Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo nodded. She understood everything. She could even think of some of the things that Ye Xiu did not mention. Excellent Era was the champion of the Pro League for three consecutive years. They were, without a doubt, the biggest beneficiary of the Pro League. It was because of this that Excellent Era was able to jump from an Internet cafe, a team that sounded like they were in dire straits, to one of the top teams in the Pro League.
What about Happy now?
Chen Guo suddenly realized that the most difficult stage of Happy's life had passed without her realizing it. Thinking back to their journey, from nothing to something, and then to the Challenger League where they faced a colossus like Excellent Era, how impossible was this mission to complete? In the end, they did it. Would there be anything more difficult than this in the future?
Winning the championship?
Of course, this was true. However, whether or not they won the championship would not affect the life and death of a team. Team Happy had survived a life and death situation. Wouldn't the future be even smoother?
In an instant, Chen Guo was filled with confidence. She immediately left the neighborhood and returned to the Internet cafe. From now on, she would wholeheartedly run the team well.
Before, even though she was inclined to turn the entire second floor of the Internet cafe into a training center, she could not help but feel a little apprehensive. After all, the Internet cafe was their most reliable source of income. But now, Chen Guo was not afraid at all. Happy had reached this point. There was no reason for them to fail.
On the way back, Chen Guo had already made a call and asked the renovators to come over and take a look at the Internet cafe. After returning to Happy and respectfully waiting for the other party, they went up to the second floor together. While looking at the actual site, she told the professional about her requests and ideas. After discussing for about an entire day, the other party went back to design the blueprint. Chen Guo, after taking the first step, began to take the second solid step.
"Little Chang? I'm your big sister Chen! "Chen Guo took the initiative to call the Esports Home reporter's office in City H.
Esports Home's two reporters in City H. Right now, one was in heaven, the other was in hell.
Glory was currently the number one eSports event in the country. Even though Esports Home was a comprehensive eSports media company, in the end, they still focused on Glory as the number one event. The establishment of City H's reporter's office was entirely because of Team Excellent Era.
Logically speaking, after Excellent Era had been relegated this season, City H's reporter's office was no longer necessary. However, no one doubted that Excellent Era would immediately return to the Alliance from the Challenger League. Even Esports Home did not doubt it. As a result, City H's reporter's office remained. Even though Cao Guangcheng had been lonely this year, he was not discouraged. He was waiting for the day Excellent Era returned to the Alliance.
But in the end, no one would have thought that Excellent Era would fall just like that. What made Cao Guangcheng feel even more awkward was that the team that defeated Excellent Era was Chang Xian, who treated them like a treasure. On the other hand, Team Happy, whom he disapproved of.
Team Happy had Ye Xiu as their leader. This should not have been disapproved of. However, Cao Guangcheng disapproved of it because he knew better than anyone that Ye Xiu's presence or absence didn't make a difference. After all, this person couldn't be interviewed. If they couldn't interview Ye Xiu, then what was the value of Happy? Were they supposed to be the favorites to win the Challenger League?
In the end, a miracle happened.
Happy became the champions of the Challenger League. Chang Xian controlled Happy's resources. His articles continued to appear on Esports Home. He even got an exclusive interview with Ye Xiu. Even though everyone knew that Ye Xiu didn't shy away from such things, why didn't this guy show such an attitude earlier? If he had known that he would accept an interview, would he have let Chang Xian handle Happy so easily? Of course not!
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
The Excellent Era that Cao Guangcheng thought highly of and followed was now facing the problem of whether or not it would disband. As for Happy, because they had defeated Excellent Era, they had become a hot topic. Chang Xian's attitude towards him didn't change. He still treated him as a senior and respected him. However, Cao Guangcheng knew very well that their statuses had changed. From now on, City H's reporter station would be under Chang Xian's control. Because if City H's reporter station still remained, it would obviously be for Happy. Chang Xian and Happy's close relationship was no longer a secret in the industry. Cao Guangcheng also asked around using his connections in the club. The higher-ups didn't seem to have any intention of replacing Chang Xian. Instead, they were full of praise for Chang Xian.
Happy was a hot topic during this period of time. Esports Home took the lead in reporting on Happy. This was all thanks to Chang Xian. The club was very satisfied with Chang Xian and didn't seem to have any intention of replacing him.
Cao Guangcheng was in despair. Even the club didn't have a chance to take advantage of him. It was even more impossible for him to replace Chang Xian. Serve this former little brother of his at his beck and call? Cao Guangcheng really didn't want to lose face. He had already applied to the club and used Excellent Era's absence as an excuse to change his position.
Cao Guangcheng's application hadn't been approved by Esports Home yet. However, he was determined not to work in City H anymore. He had already started to hand over some of the work that he needed to handle to Chang Xian.
"Ah, ah, it's Sister Chen. Hello, hello!!"
Cao Guangcheng heard Chang Xian's voice on the phone. He knew who Chang Xian was calling: Team Happy's boss, Chen Guo.
The boss of the team actually called personally. Little Chang was really capable. Although he knew Happy's current situation and that it wasn't a big deal for the boss to do these things personally, Cao Guangcheng couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Oh, oh, these things, we should have them here, right? I'll help you check. I'll contact you later, okay? "
"Okay, that's all. Goodbye, Sister Chen."
The phone call ended. It sounded like Chen Guo had asked Chang Xian to check something.
"What does Happy want?" Cao Guangcheng asked casually. Normally, when he asked this, it meant that he had overheard Chang Xian's call. Although Chang Xian didn't intentionally avoid it, it still wasn't good. Especially between reporters, it was taboo. However, Cao Guangcheng was disheartened and didn't care about it.
"Oh, Brother Cao, I was just about to ask you. Asking you might be easier than looking for it myself," Chang Xian said.
"What?" Cao Guangcheng asked.
"Happy wants to ask about the sponsors of Excellent Era. No matter how big or small, the more detailed, the better," Chang Xian said.
"This? Is there a need for us to inquire about this? "Cao Guangcheng couldn't help but laugh. What is a sponsor? It's a sponsor, and you help me advertise. As a result, the sponsors couldn't be a secret. Whatever sponsorship Excellent Era received, they had to find an opportunity to show it to the other party. How could they not know which sponsors Excellent Era had?
"Uh, she wants to know everything from the past to the present, including those who quit halfway. So I think we should check it out," Chang Xian said.
"Oh, I don't remember too clearly. Check it out!" Cao Guangcheng said. As for why Happy wanted this information, let alone him, even Chang Xian knew. Happy wanted to start looking for sponsors. Taking over the sponsors of Excellent Era, which was about to disband, was the most appropriate thing to do.
But … Happy, don't you think you're oversimplifying things? Sponsors choosing Excellent Era to sponsor represented their standpoint. But now, Happy defeated Excellent Era, keeping them out of the Alliance and putting them on the verge of disbanding. Happy is Excellent Era's enemy. Just a moment ago, Excellent Era's sponsor will support you in the blink of an eye? All companies cared about their image. Doing this was no different from calling anyone a mother. Who would want this kind of image?
Taking over Excellent Era's sponsorship was a good idea.
But Happy Boss Chen, it looks like you don't understand. Glory is a competitive game. Investments in this area are special. Especially when it comes to sponsoring from our city. Having Excellent Era fall and immediately switch to Happy, who defeated Excellent Era, is a difficult decision!
"Right …" Cao Guangcheng suddenly thought of something and called out, "Happy, if you want sponsors, I have a recommendation."
"Ah? Which one? "Chang Xian asked.
"Dry Tea Green," Cao Guangcheng said. A barely noticeable smile flashed across his face. Right now, he didn't want to fight for anything. But, seeing Happy's jokes could relieve some of the frustration in his heart.
