The level of this competition was indeed a little low, but it was within Fang Tian's expectations.
"Everything will change because of me!" Fang Tian opened the car door and got in. The sports car roared and disappeared.
The Prince raised his middle finger and thought to himself that he had to learn this move. After saying those cool words, he started the car and left.
Chess forum.
Many Go fans were very disappointed to hear that this year's Go competition would be canceled because there was no sponsor.
Original poster Likes to Play Go: "Sigh, what a pity. I wanted to watch the competition live. There are so many companies in our country, can't we find a sponsor? "
Brony: "There are plenty of rich bosses, but they have no taste. Just like the internet now, only foreign companies are willing to invest in you. The local bosses will not invest a single cent. "
I'm an expert on the third floor: "This is too embarrassing. Look at Korea's Samsung Cup, LG Cup, and Japan's Toyota Cup. Our country can't even afford a Go competition. This is too embarrassing."
The forum was filled with sighs.
Suddenly, someone went to the forum and exposed the news.
The original poster exploded: "Haha! Good news, good news! According to the news I received, the Go competition has finally found a corporate sponsor! "
Second poster Likes to Play Go: "Wow, is this true? Who is it? Which company is it? "
Third poster exploded: "Soft cloud technology!!! They bought the title sponsorship of the Go competition for five years at a price of 25 million!!! "
Fourth poster Likes to Play Go: "Soft cloud technology, rich and powerful!"
Fifth poster King of the World: "If this news is true, then Soft cloud is really a savior! Can't YY play Chess and Cards? Everyone, go support Soft cloud gaming platforms. "
Sixth poster Tai Shan Beidou: "Yes, yes, let's all support Soft cloud! Support YY games! "
The news should have been spread by Li Guodong.
At this moment, Fang Tian had returned home and was sitting in front of his computer, looking at the major forums. The Internet was discussing this matter, and countless netizens liked Soft cloud.
"Beep, beep, beep …" YY news came in.
"Captain, did the company sponsor the Go competition?"
Silently Waiting was Lin Keqing's Y nickname. He also saw the news on the Internet.
King said, "Yes, we agreed on it tonight. Five years of sponsorship, five million dollars a year, paid in five years. "
After working with Fang Tian for so long, Lin Keqing could guess his purpose. It must be to promote the company's brand.
Five million was actually not a lot. Selling an advertisement on the national television station was far more than that.
Now that they had sponsored the Go competition, CCTV Sports would mention the company's name when they reported the Go competition. This kind of sponsorship was really worth it!
King said, "Tomorrow, the company will be holding a press conference with President Li Guodong of National Qiyuan. Why don't you go on stage and say a few words?"
He waited silently. "Yes. By the way, the Go competition is named after my company. Should the trophy be called Soft cloud or YY? "
This was indeed a problem. Fang Tian rubbed his chin and thought for a while. Logically speaking, Soft cloud was the company's name. It should be called Soft cloud Cup.
But YY was the company's core product. Now that they were making a game, it would be more effective to call it YY Cup.
Also, YY was more famous than Soft cloud. It felt like QQ and Tencent. If you asked an uncle on the street, he might not know about Tencent, but he would definitely know about QQ.
So, after thinking about it, Fang Tian sent a message to Lin Keqing.
King said, "Let's call it YY Cup. It will be a great help to promote our YY game."
Silently Waiting sent a grinning emoji. "Not bad. Don't you feel like it? YY is very much like a goblet. "
Fang Tian laughed loudly. "Haha! It's really like that. "
King said, "Sponsoring this competition is very important to us. It's just a very small competition now. We want to make it a world-class competition. Soft cloud will become a world-class company! "
The next morning, at 10 AM, Soft cloud headquarters, in the lobby on the first floor.
At this time, reporters from all the major newspapers and television stations in the country were present. Of course, there were also reporters from Soft cloud sports news.
During this period, the hottest topic in the sports world was undoubtedly the suspension of the "Go Competition." With a sudden turn of events, with corporate sponsorship, and Soft cloud technology at that, it immediately attracted 40 to 50 media outlets from all over the country.
At the venue, the cameras were flashing non-stop.
President Li Guodong stood on the stage. He was wearing a blue suit and gray trousers.
Standing beside him in a gray suit was naturally Lin Keqing, the CEO of Soft cloud company.
The president of National Qiyuan, Li Guodong, was speaking. He smiled and said, "First of all, I would like to thank Soft cloud company. Without their support, this year's competition would have been suspended … I believe that with the support of Soft cloud company, the Go Competition will only get better and better … "
Leaders usually spoke for a long time. Li Guodong spoke for a full 20 minutes. The name "Soft cloud" was mentioned more than 30 times!
When it was Lin Keqing's turn, her speech was shorter. She gave her signature goddess smile and said, "Go was invented by our country and should be supported. Soft cloud will continue to support it and make this competition the most watched Go Competition in the world! "
"Clap clap clap …" The crowd applauded.
Next was the Q&A session.
A reporter with a crew cut asked Lin Keqing, "Miss Lin, how much will Soft cloud company invest in sponsoring the Go Competition?"
Lin Keqing said calmly, "25 million over 5 years! Apart from that, we will also provide the best hotels, transportation, and competition venues for the participants. "
The reporters sighed in their hearts. They were really rich and imposing.
A female reporter asked President Li, "With such sufficient funds, how will the prize money for this year's competition be?"
President Li Guodong said excitedly, "The prize money for the champion will be greatly increased. The competition will be based on a best of three system, and the prize money for the champion will be 1.8 million! "
Wow! 1.8 million? The reporters were all shocked!
What kind of concept was this? In Korea's Samsung Cup, the champion could get 1.6 million, which was already very high. But the prize money for this competition sponsored by Soft cloud was even higher than the Samsung Cup!
President Li Guodong smiled and said, "I hope it can attract more top international players to participate and increase the influence of the competition!"
The female reporter asked, "Then what is the name of this competition? Soft cloud Cup? "
President Li Guodong smiled and said, "Whoever sponsors will be the main sponsor. This competition will be called YY Cup!"
YY Cup? The reporters laughed. What an interesting name!
"Why is it called YY Cup?" The male reporter asked Lin Keqing.
Lin Keqing smiled and said, "YY's next goal is to become the world's largest instant messaging entertainment software! This step is very important. "
What a grand blueprint!
What's the big deal about becoming the number one in the country? Soft cloud will become the world's number one instant messaging software!
The world is a game of chess, and the world belongs to me!
