"How about this, how about this." Old Elder expressed his helplessness. After all, he was old and experienced, so he laughed and said, "What big project does he have recently that costs a lot of money? Tell me about it and we'll analyze it."
"This …" Ling Xiaoyi didn't know whether she should say it or not. But after thinking about it, it was just a roundabout way, and it wasn't troublesome for Old Elder to know about it. She might as well say it directly and help Young Master negotiate the conditions. Thus, she didn't resist anymore and slowly said, "Recently, Young Master wants to cooperate with Young Master Liu Mingxin of the Liu Family to organize an E-Sports competition. According to Young Master's usual style, the investment for this E-Sports competition will probably not be small. Currently, it's estimated to be about five million or so."
"Oh." Hong Tu touched his chin and mumbled, "Our relationship with the Liu Family isn't that good. This child, Dali, is actually cooperating with Liu Mingxin? I've heard of this Liu Mingxin before. He's the most outstanding person in the Liu Family, comparable to Yuxi. Dali won't be at a disadvantage if he cooperates with him, right? "
After all, he was old, and he prioritized the safe side in everything. Thus, upon hearing that Hong Dali cooperated with Liu Mingxin, his first reaction was whether Hong Dali would be at a disadvantage.
Ling Xiaoyi naturally understood Old Elder Hong Tu's good intentions. She smiled and said, "Speaking of which, when Young Master and Liu Mingxin are together, it seems that Liu Mingxin is always the one at a disadvantage. At least, I haven't seen Young Master really at a disadvantage."
Speaking of which, Liu Mingxin was indeed very tragic. He really didn't gain any advantage in front of Hong Dali.
Of course, it could also be that Liu Mingxin was a gentleman and wasn't willing to use any despicable means.
Anyway, no matter what, the result was that Liu Mingxin had always played a rather tragic role, and it wasn't caused by Hong Dali. Hong Tu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"En, since that's the case …" Hong Tu thought for a while and then asked Mu Yuxi to bring a pen and paper. He said, "Then, let's use this E-Sports as the first case study."
As he spoke, he drew a circle on the paper and marked it with the words "E-Sports". Then, he asked Mu Yuxi, "Yuxi, try to analyze it and see what Dali's motive is for doing this."
This was a rather rare analysis model. Mu Yuxi had previously suffered a great blow from Hong Dali during the family meeting, so she naturally wanted to regain her confidence. Therefore, she stared at the circle on the paper and wrote one word at the side with certainty: "Tickets."
Then, Mu Yuxi said, "Dali has always held big events. According to the location of this E-Sports competition, this West Fourth Loop Stadium has about 50,000 seats. I believe that the ticket money will definitely be quite high. If it can reach the level of popularity of 'I Am a Singer', I'm afraid that one match will earn more than 2 million in ticket money. If we hold a few more matches …"
Mu Yuxi nodded with certainty. "That's a few million in income. This amount of money is not a small amount."
Ling Xiaoyi and Wang Mingyu laughed in their hearts. Young Master came up with this idea just for fun squandering, but Mu Yuxi and Old Elder just had to seriously analyze the case study here. No one would believe it even if they told others about it.
"En, but …" Old Elder also looked at the circle on the paper and muttered, "It definitely won't be so simple, right?"
"I think so too." Mu Yuxi frowned and thought for a while. "Maybe after this E-Sports competition ends, this game will be very popular. By then, if we develop some peripherals for the game, such as model clothes, it will be more promising."
Hearing this, Ling Xiaoyi was a little surprised.
This Mu Yuxi actually thought of this aspect, it was really not bad.
"This is indeed not bad." Old Elder continued to encourage her. "En, is there anything else?"
"Anything else …" Mu Yuxi was really a little confused. An online game, other than this, what else could there be? She thought for a while, and suddenly, her eyes lit up as she loudly said, "I've thought of it!"
"What did you think of again?" Old Elder said in surprise, "Quick, tell me!"
"Old Elder, think about it. For online games, there will usually be a part of the background setting and the relationship between the characters, right?" Mu Yuxi said proudly, "Dali has a novel website. If after the E-Sports competition this time, he lets the authors of the novel website write novels related to the game, won't it pull in a lot of subscriptions and popularity?"
Hearing Mu Yuxi say that, Ling Xiaoyi and Wang Mingyu were also very surprised.
It seemed that she was indeed the number one genius of the family. She had indeed thought more than them.
"Not bad, not bad at all. I didn't think of this." Hong Tu stroked his beard and smiled. "Yuxi, you're indeed very smart. However, how useful can this novel website be? Even if these people all write novels about this Draconic Continent game, they won't be able to earn much money, right? According to the things that Dali created previously, they seem to be doing things that are several times more profitable. The profit margin of the novel probably can't reach this number, right? "
What Hong Tu said made a lot of sense.
None of the things that Hong Dali created previously had low profit margins. However, the E-Sports competition this time didn't look like a project that could earn a lot of money no matter how one looked at it. It was more reliable to say that it could break even and earn some money from tickets.
However, this didn't match up with the things that he created previously. No matter how he thought about it, it was very strange.
"I think that what Dali wants is popularity. After all, holding an E-Sports competition can bring a lot of popularity to the game …" Speaking up to this point, Mu Yuxi also felt that something was wrong. "But that's not right. This game is Liu Mingxin's business. There's no reason for Dali to give such a big cake to Liu Mingxin for free, right? When the popularity rises, the one who benefits is Liu Mingxin. There's basically no benefit for Dali's side. "
Thinking up to this point, the usually calm and indifferent Mu Yuxi also felt a little crazy.
What was this Hong Dali thinking, giving such a big cake to Liu Mingxin for free?
Actually, she wasn't the only one who was crazy. Hong Tu and Liu Mingxin were also very crazy. Back then, Liu Mingxin hadn't slept well for a whole week because of this. During that period of time, he went to work with panda eyes almost every day. Even the employees in the company couldn't stand it anymore. There were even quite a number of female employees who discussed in private. "I wonder which vixen seduced Liu Mingxin. If I were to find out, I'd definitely scratch her face! How good would it be if Liu Mingxin could come at me instead! "
If Mu Yuxi could analyze this matter in such a short period of time, that would really be strange.
Hence, Old Elder and Mu Yuxi looked at the circle on the paper for a whole hour. Finally, Old Elder was the first to surrender. "Sigh, I'm old now. I can't stay energetic anymore. I'll go to sleep first. You guys can slowly look at it." Saying so, he went upstairs to sleep with the help of his walking stick …
This old fox, he ran away really fast!
Mu Yuxi was quite helpless. She looked at it for a whole half an hour. She was almost going crazy, but she still couldn't figure out what Hong Dali's intention was. Finally, she could only seek help from Ling Xiaoyi. "Miss Xiaoyi, Hong Dali said that he wanted to organize this E-Sports competition. Didn't he say anything?"
"No." Ling Xiaoyi also expressed helplessness. "Young Master was … Oh right." Ling Xiaoyi's eyes lit up. "Young Master had just met Miss Lin Zixuan. Miss likes to play games a lot, so Young Master brought her to play. Then, he saw that Miss was very good at playing games, so he wanted to organize an E-Sports competition."
"Because of Lin Zixuan?" Mu Yuxi mumbled and suddenly said in surprise, "Then, was it because he wanted to make Miss Lin Zixuan famous? Hong Dali seems to be very good at making someone famous. For example, Miss Li Nianwei. "
"I thought so too at the start." Ling Xiaoyi helplessly said, "But Miss Lin Zixuan is Old Master's goddaughter now, and she's only 14 years old this year … Our Young Master doesn't seem to intend to let her show her face in public."
Then, Ling Xiaoyi concluded. "Thinking about it carefully, Young Master really just wanted to spend money to squander. At most, he thought that it was very fun."
Mu Yuxi knelt down on the spot …
"Alright …" Mu Yuxi's face was full of frustration. Facing Hong Dali, she felt like a mouse trying to pull a turtle but not knowing where to start. That feeling was quite terrible. Therefore, she decided not to think about it anymore. If she continued to think about it, her hair would probably turn white. Therefore, she decisively stood up to send them off. "Then, you guys can go back first. It's really troublesome."
"Hehe, Miss Yuxi, you're too polite." Since there was nothing else, they naturally left.
The night was silent.
On the second day, Hong Dali slept all the way until the sky was bright. His biological clock woke him up naturally at 9 AM. Only then did he stretch in satisfaction. "Ah, I slept so well! Brouhahaha! A new day has begun! New atmosphere, let's go and save Big Turtle! "
After putting on his clothes and washing up, he went downstairs. Lin Chuyin was adjusting the three sets of diving equipment. Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and the rest were already ready and waiting for him to come down.
"Dali." Once she saw Hong Dali coming down, Tang Muxin instantly welcomed him and smiled. "Are we going to save Big Turtle today? It's so pitiful over there."
"Save, we must save it!" Hong Dali laughed heartily. "Compared to saving Big Turtle, this family meeting is really boring!" Saying so, he snapped his fingers. "Let's go!"
They went out and arrived at the entrance of the big conference room in the Hong Family estate. The three elders, Hong Tu, Hong Wei, and Hong Ying, had already brought a group of descendants out to send them off. Hong Tu smiled and said, "Dali, you're preparing to go back now?"
Speaking of which, he doted on Hong Dali as much as Hong Weiguo. Now that Hong Dali was the Rookie King of the Year, although he didn't ask for those special treatment, the title of Rookie King was on top of his head. Naturally, it felt different just by looking at him.
"Big Grandfather, I'm going out to play. I'll come back to see you when I'm free!" Hong Dali grinned and started to pluck Hong Tu's long white beard. "Big Grandfather, why do you keep such a long beard? Let me pluck it for you. You look younger that way, hehe …"
Everyone at the side watched on in fear.
Apart from Hong Dali, there was probably no one else who would dare to pluck Old Elder's beard …
