Under the eyes of the whole world, they had obtained the First Clear for Ouro and the entire Ahn 'Qiraj Instance Dungeon. This made Ruling Sword the center of attention.
These days, the number of people who wanted to join Ruling Sword had increased exponentially. There were even some top players who had left the big guilds.
Genhao San was extremely busy just to screen out these people.
"Increase the number of management groups. We'll expand to ten Elite groups …" Lu Li began to explain his ideas.
"Ten Elite groups? Lu Li, do you know that the people in the Elite groups have to be paid?" Genhao San suddenly felt the pressure. Before, they had to support five Elite groups, which was already very tiring. Now, they had to double that.
That's right, the Elite groups weren't easy to get.
It wasn't like anyone could get as many Elite groups as they wanted. If that was possible, then Lu Li could say that he had 800 Elite groups and everyone was an elite.
In reality, the Elite groups had to sign a formal contract and report to the Gaming Association. They were like formal employees of the gaming circle.
The Association protected the interests of these professional players and ensured that they had reasonable treatment. They also set different minimum wages in different cities.
If there really were 800 Elite groups, then Lu Li would go bankrupt on the same day.
Only when the quality of the players really met the requirements and could at least bring benefits to the club through their own efforts could they be given the meaning of an Elite group.
The Capital of Glory had 300 Elite groups. If the minimum wage was 3000 per month, then these 30,000 people would have to pay a salary of 100 million dollars per month. In a year, that would be 1.2 billion dollars. No matter how deep their foundation was, they wouldn't be able to sustain this for long.
In reality, not only would The Capital of Glory not lose 100 million dollars per month, but they could also make money from these 300 Elite groups.
The Elite groups participated in guild activities, worked for the guild and brought benefits to the guild.
According to the standard of performance, only by maintaining the profit generated by the elite team could a club continue to develop. This was why the major guilds were so keen on capital. With capital injection, they would have the money to pay more Elite groups, which would then create more value for the guild.
It wasn't easy for Ruling Sword to maintain ten elite groups.
"That's not all. The branch guild needs to get two elite teams as well. What we need to do now is to recruit as many people as we can. We need to recruit as many high-level players as we can and throw a few newbies to the new guilds. We need to register them and have them compete in the competition." Lu Li was determined to shock everyone. If the headquarters had ten elite teams and the branch guild added two more, it wouldn't be as simple as just doubling the number.
"Where would we get the money? Even if we laid eggs, we couldn't afford to feed so many people." Genhao San was speechless.
"You can do it if you want. I don't know how to." Lu Li rolled his eyes and started counting with his fingers. "We can attack the fortress at least once a month and we can earn a few million Gold Coins each time. That shouldn't be a problem, right …?"
"It sounds like it shouldn't be a problem, but we have to keep winning. Lu Li, didn't you say that we're going to develop steadily? You're walking a tightrope. If we lose the fortress one day, our capital chain will be broken. If that happens, we'll welcome more capital, but if we don't, we'll fall apart."
"The Shadow Cup starts this month and the Glory Cup is in three months. After that, it'll be the second Pro League. There will be more and more competitions in the future, and competitions can also make money," Lu Li said matter-of-factly.
"Big bro, big boss, that's only if you can win. Do you dare to take out some real money and give everyone a guarantee?" Genhao San was about to cry.
"Actually, it's not like there's no guarantee," Lu Li said with a hint of shyness. "If it comes to that, I believe that Cher won't leave us in the lurch."
"Uh." Genhao San's expression froze.
He didn't know whether he should scold Lu Li for being useless or scold Lu Li for being so shameless. However, he had to admit that what Lu Li said made sense.
Water Fairy was rich. Very, very rich.
Those who didn't know the truth were worried that the Drizzle Court and Peerless City's capital chain would be broken when Water Fairy broke off with her family. However, those who truly understood Water Fairy's net worth would not think that way. Even without the Shen family, Water Fairy still had an endless supply of money.
There were even so-called insiders who revealed that Water Fairy had used her own money to build the Drizzle Court and Peerless City.
At most, she had used some of the Shen family's manpower and resources. Otherwise, how could Water Fairy have been able to keep the Drizzle Court and Peerless City when they split up? Even if the other clubs that were given to the Shen family came together to form Lan Yu, they still wouldn't be able to compare to the Drizzle Court or Peerless City.
When the day came that Lu Li was at his wit's end, how could Water Fairy just stand by and watch?
"Shameless!!!" Genhao San had never seen such a shameless person. He could only say this angrily.
Poor single dog like him. If he had such a rich girlfriend, he wouldn't have to work so hard.
Softie!
"Actually, at this point, if we don't move forward, we'll fall behind. If we don't seize the time to develop now, the road ahead will become more and more difficult. Even if there are risks, we have to brace ourselves and charge forward," Lu Li said very seriously.
"Like hell I'll believe you," Genhao San said helplessly.
"First, increase the number of elite groups. Some of them will be selected from the club, and some will be recruited from outside. Second, establish two elite groups in the branch, all of which will be made up of people from the headquarters. I believe there will be people fighting to go to the branch. Third, announce the establishment of a cooperation system with the Life Alliance, the kind of comprehensive cooperation. I've already talked to Half-life Crystal."
According to the original agreement, Half-life Crystal would provide Lu Li with the materials to open the door to the Temple of Ahn 'Qiraj quest, and Lu Li would help them seize a stronghold in the future.
Now, the benefits of strongholds were getting bigger and the competition for them was getting more and more intense. Based on the strength of the Life Alliance, even if they were given a stronghold, they might not be able to defend it. Lu Li had also revealed to Half-life Crystal that strongholds in the future would be even more difficult to defend. As such, Half-life Crystal agreed to Lu Li's cooperation plan, and the two sides were just short of announcing a merger.
The Life Alliance also spent a lot of money on their own, so they couldn't provide any financial support for Ruling Sword to establish a branch. However, they had enough low-cost materials to support the rapid development of the branch.
