"By the way, Mr. Jia, can I make a suggestion?" Li Xiaofeng, who was standing on the podium, looked at Jia Yapeng in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth.
He actually felt that he shouldn't have spoken. The Daqian had done everything perfectly and even gave him a reward of 100,000 USD. More importantly, he was the richest man in Hua Xia, and he didn't seem to have the right to voice his opinion.
However, there was something that felt like a bone stuck in his throat, and Li Xiaofeng felt like he had to get it out of his throat.
"Of course, no problem!" Boss Jia said with a smile. Li Xiaofeng thought that in Boss Jia's eyes, he was just an insignificant person. Little did he know that in Boss Jia's eyes, Li Xiaofeng was also a big name.
After all, the Human Emperor, who almost won three consecutive WCG championships, was Boss Jia's idol when he was a child. When Li Xiaofeng failed to win the third world championship, Boss Jia, who was only 17 years old at that time, couldn't help but cry. Before he was 20 years old, Li Xiaofeng had always been Boss Jia's biggest idol.
Boss Jia couldn't help but sigh when he saw Li Xiaofeng, who had just graduated from high school, standing in front of him and also stood on the podium of the WCG championship. The world had changed a lot for him, but there were some things that he couldn't change.
Therefore, no matter what request or suggestion Li Xiaofeng made, Boss Jia would agree as long as it wasn't too outrageous.
"I just feel that everyone is using English IDs, and I'm not used to it. This is a competition held in Hua Xia. Why can't we use Chinese IDs?" Li Xiaofeng sighed.
"Hmm …" Boss Jia hummed and didn't say anything. Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He felt that Jia Yapeng definitely didn't take his request to heart. Little did he know that Boss Jia's heart was in turmoil.
Yes, why were the game IDs always in English?
Ever since the esports craze in the other world started, no matter if it was a Chinese player, an American player, or a player from any other country, no matter what their name was, when they appeared in the game, they would have an English ID above their head.
This seemed to be a very normal thing, and no one would raise any questions about it. Wasn't it natural for professional players to have English IDs?
Even for a competition like the LPL, which was completely organized by Hua Xia, the actual controller of the game company behind it was a Hua Xia company like Tencent. All the players' IDs in the competition were in English.
Even the names of the various clubs were in English. However, the funny thing was that many of the English IDs of the esports players were actually written in Chinese pinyin. The commentators of the competition were also used to using Chinese characters to interpret these IDs.
But the problem was that no matter which player, which club, their names were all in English …
Speaking up to this point, it was time to praise King of Glory. Although Boss Jia always thought that it was a King of Glory Pro League, at least the names of the clubs and the players' IDs were in Chinese. This was an e-sports competition that truly belonged to Hua Xia. What was wrong with having all the names in English?
In his previous life, Boss Jia thought that this was very normal, and there was nothing wrong with it. So in this life, when the first WCG was held, all the players used English IDs. It was more convenient to internationalize!
But when Li Xiaofeng reminded him, Boss Jia suddenly understood. Yes, why did they have to use English IDs? Why couldn't all the players in the competition use Chinese IDs? Who made this rule?
In his previous life, of course Boss Jia didn't know who made this rule. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have the power to stop it. But in this life, Boss Jia suddenly realized that this rule should be made by him, the founder of e-sports, who controlled the world's largest telecommunications company!
Some people might think that this rule was unnecessary. Look at the Olympic Games and other international competitions. When the players from Hua Xia displayed their names on the screen, they still used Chinese Pinyin.
But that couldn't be helped. When various international sports competitions were formed, Hua Xia didn't have any say in it. By the time Huaxia participated in these competitions, Huaxia would not be able to change the fait accompli.
But e-sports was different. This was a brand new competition. There was no International Olympic Organizing Committee or FIFA. The entire competition was in Boss Jia's hands.
Boss Jia was the god of WCG. Whatever he said, he was the king of all!
"Okay, I promise you!" Just when Li Xiaofeng felt that his words didn't carry much weight and was a little depressed, Boss Jia suddenly opened his mouth and laughed.
"Really!" Li Xiaofeng looked at Boss Jia in surprise.
"Yes!" Boss Jia nodded, then said, "But you have to promise me one thing!"
"What is it?" Li Xiaofeng asked curiously.
"Only win one or two championships. Win the first three WCG championships. Keep it firmly in the hands of Hua Xia. Don't let the Fusangpeople take it away!"
"Yes!" Li Xiaofeng nodded excitedly. Boss Jia then left with a smile.
When he returned to the committee's office, Boss Jia called all the committee members to the committee's office. The committee members of the WCG committee were basically made up of the members of the game development team, the referees team, the scene team, the operations team, etc.
So when Boss Jia called all the committee members together, it basically meant that all the people involved in WCG were gathered together.
"I hope that when the competition starts tomorrow, all the contestants can have a Chinese ID appear above their heads. Is this a difficult request?" Boss Jia asked calmly.
"No problem!" Yu-Gi-Oh's representative immediately said. This game's main market was Hua Xia. Of course, there was no problem.
"We have no problem with that either!" Red Alert, Heroes of Invincible, and Crazyracing Kartrider also said. They all had the Chinese ID display function to begin with.
"Chairman, I'm afraid we'll need some time," Diablo and Grand Theft Auto representatives said. The developers of these games were all foreign studios, so there were Chinese versions of their games. However, the Chinese version only translated the text of the game into Chinese. It didn't add the Chinese ID function. Even Hua Xia players could only enter their English ID when playing the game. If they wanted to add Chinese ID display, it would be troublesome.
"I don't care!" Boss Jia said coldly, "Go back and contact your respective studios immediately. It's eight o 'clock at night now. Before eight o' clock tomorrow morning, you have to submit the game client that can display Chinese ID. If you can't submit it, all the people in charge of the game team will resign immediately. All the members of the game team will have their bonuses deducted!"
"Of course, if you can come up with it on time, all the participating members will have their year-end bonus increased by two thousand USD! I mean what I say! "
"Yes, sir!" The representatives of these two games didn't dare to say anything else. Under Boss Jia's carrot and stick, they immediately called the members of their studios all over the world and asked them to work overtime to fulfill Boss Jia's request.
