"Mr. Jia, on behalf of the Korean eSports Federation, I sincerely hope that the fourth WCG will be held in the Republic of Korea!" After the closing ceremony, Boss Jia did not expect to be gambled by the president of the Korean eSports Federation. He strongly expressed his desire to host the fourth WCG.
Although the Daqian and OGN had a huge conflict before, OGN admitted defeat in the end.
After that, OGN was disbanded. Not long after, OGN became the Korean eSports Federation and became one of the branches of the International eSports Federation.
Not only did they register with the International eSports Federation, but they also obediently paid 5% of all competition income to the International eSports Federation as a management fee.
At the same time, because Korea was the most outstanding eSports competition, the Korean eSports Federation became the country that paid the highest membership fee in the world.
Therefore, the Korean eSports Federation naturally had a lot of say in the International eSports Federation. They also had the right to meet Boss Jia directly.
"This needs to be discussed in a meeting. I can't agree on my own!" Boss Jia said with a smile. He completely forgot that the King of ST had only said one sentence and decided on the third WCG.
But then again, you're just the president of a subsidiary association. How can you compare to the supreme leader of ST?
"What's there to discuss?" The president of the Korean eSports Federation frowned. "Is there someone else who wants to compete with us?"
"Of course!" Boss Jia nodded and smiled. "Actually, five minutes ago, the president of the Fusang eSports Federation came to me and said that he wants to host the fourth WCG as well!"
"These Fusangpeople …" When he heard that the Fusangpeople wanted to host the event, the Korean president was even more reluctant to give up.
They could accept the United States as their father, but the Fusangpeople could not even dream of riding on their heads. All of a sudden, who would be the host of the 4th WCG became a matter of national honor.
"How does the president plan to deal with this problem?" The Korean president asked with a frown.
"It's simple. Let all the branch associations under the International E-Sports Federation vote!" Boss Jia said, "Now, the International E-Sports Federation has branches in 16 countries."
"Then, the branches of these countries will have one vote, one vote for one vote. The one with the most votes will be able to host the fourth WCG!" Boss Jia said with a smile. "That's very fair, isn't it?"
"Then why doesn't ST have such fairness? Don't tell me we're having a meeting to vote? "the Korean president asked in annoyance.
"If it was your Korean president who proposed to hold WCG in Korea while toasting me personally, I would also agree!" Boss Jia answered straightforwardly, leaving the Koreans speechless.
After that, Fusang and Korea started to compete with each other. They started to rope in the clubs under them, and these clubs were eager to swing between the two countries and get some benefits from them.
After all, Korea and Fusang were the two countries with the best development of e-sports in the world. Their associations were also the richest. Even if they leaked a little, it would be enough for the other associations to have a full meal.
In the end, Fusang won two more votes than Korea and became the host of the fourth WCG. However, in order to appease the Koreans, Boss Jia also announced that Korea could host the fifth WCG.
As a result, the next three WCGs all left Hua Xia and were held in various countries around the world. This made many people in Hua Xia sigh. However, this was also the only way for WCG to become completely international.

While the Daqian and Daqian WCG were heating up, the atmosphere in the conference room of the Lenovo headquarters in Didu was a bit tense.
"Our sales in the first quarter dropped by 10% compared to the same period last year. What is going on? I need an answer!" Sitting in his chair, Liu Chuanzhi looked at the group of executives sitting under him and said coldly.
Although Lenovo's computer sales shrank because of the war with the Daqian, the trend was still the trend. However, computers were an irresistible trend. The little top student could dominate for a while, but it was impossible for him to defeat computers and take over the computer market.
Therefore, after a year or so of sluggishness, Lenovo's sales performance began to expand and grow rapidly again.
Especially since 1995, with Fusang's computerized and networked office, there were also suggestions to modernize the office in China.
For a time, the number of people, whether it was ZF purchasing or domestic individual users, began to increase substantially.
Throughout 1995, Lenovo created a miracle and a record of 230% annual sales growth.
However, this record was broken in 1996. The sales growth in 1996 directly broke through 289%.
The profit growth was also very fast. In 1994, Lenovo's annual profit was only about 200 million yuan.
But by the end of 1996, Lenovo's annual profit had increased to 1.6 billion yuan. The growth rate was even more exaggerated than the growth rate of sales.
This made the entire Lenovo in a state of crazy expansion. Their office building also changed from a small 7-story building to a 21-story super office building in Didu.
In the entire Hua Xia, in the electronics industry, other than the Daqian, Lenovo was the most prosperous.
And according to their calculations, Hua Xia could have at least 50 million personal computers market. Now their annual sales were less than 1.2 million units. In the next ten years, they could rely on the Hua Xia market to eat a lot. They could make money while lying down.
However, when the 1997 technical report came out, Liu Chuanzhi was surprised to find that the company's performance in the first quarter of 1997 had declined.
Of course, it was not less than last year's sales performance.
In the first quarter of last year, they sold 220,000 computers, but in the first quarter of this year, they sold 300,000 computers, which was an increase of 80,000 units.
But the problem was that the growth rate in the first quarter of last year was 210%, but the growth rate in the first quarter of this year was 36%. The decline was really severe.
This made the sensitive Liu Chuanzhi feel a sense of crisis, and then he urgently called for this high-level meeting.
What Liu Chuanzhi did not expect was that after he asked the questions, none of them could answer his questions. They just looked at each other, but they could not say anything.
Seeing this scene, Liu Chuanzhi's heart was full of disappointment.
Lenovo's development in the past few years was indeed fast, but his own executives could not keep up with the speed of Lenovo's development. On the contrary, the speed of their decline was very fast.
This made Liu Chuanzhi's heart full of worry. If he was still sitting in the position of chairman, it would be fine. But once he left and handed the company to these people, would Lenovo still have a future?
"Someone, find Yang Yuanqing for me!" Thinking of this, Liu Chuanzhi made up his mind and said a name to his secretary that made all the executives present instantly boil!
