In the afternoon, Long Yu Corporation.
Chrétien, Jin Yong, and the people from IOI's operations cooperation department held an emergency meeting.
Everyone took their seats. The atmosphere in the conference room was rather solemn.
Jin Yong had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
This scene … seemed to have happened a lot in the past.
However, Eric had been sitting in the main seat at that time, and Zhao Xuming had been sitting beside him. Jin Yong had only attended the meeting and did not express his opinions.
Eric and Zhao Xuming, the good partners, were no longer around. It was Chrétien and him instead. The seats were still the same.
However, there was one thing that was different from before.
Previously, he often rested at home and was urgently called to the company for a meeting. That was because Tengda seemed to like to do such big things during holidays.
However, this time, everyone had been working overtime on Saturday to keep an eye on IOI's global finals. Thus, it was quite convenient for the meeting.
He did not know if this should be considered lucky or unlucky …
At this moment, even Chrétien's frown and worried expression seemed to be carved out of Eric's mold.
After a long time, Chrétien let out a long sigh. "This move is really ruthless!"
He looked at Jin Yong. "How do we arrange the subsequent marketing plan?"
Jin Yong answered truthfully, "There are no changes to the current arrangements. It still revolves around the topic of FV Team, stirring up their relationship with other teams, and then driving the discussion of the entire competition online."
"What should we do? Should we change it?"
Chrétien was a little frustrated. "The key is how to change it!"
They had no choice but to bring popularity to FV Team.
FV Team was the previous defending champion. They were good at performing and had a lot of attention both domestically and abroad.
It would be too obvious if they skipped FV Team to market other teams. It would seem like they were deliberately targeting them, and the effect might not be good.
That was why Finger Games decided to use the current marketing method after research: marketing around FV Team, driving the popularity of other teams, and then weakening FV Team's strength through the version change. That way, the new champion would be able to completely inherit the popularity from FV Team.
FV Team would become the most outstanding supporting character as long as they could not win the championship with such marketing. It would only make the protagonist even more legendary.
For example, if IOI's global finals were a group of mountains, then FV Team was already the tallest mountain in the group of mountains.
If they wanted to raise this group of mountains collectively now, it would be very stupid not to let FV pull out another mountain. On the contrary, they might as well try their best to raise FV Team. That way, they would be able to raise the mountains together and the other mountains would be able to share the heat.
But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened!
GOG's new feature greatly increased the discussion and popularity of GOG's international invitational tournament.
There was a limit to the popularity on the internet. If you took more, I would take less.
This was equivalent to a huge flood coming over. The hilltop rose very slowly, but the water level rose very quickly.
Slowly, these shorter mountains were submerged by the water, leaving only the tallest mountain floating on the water.
Didn't this mean that only FV Team's popularity was left?!
Now that Chrétien had called this meeting, it was a matter of procedure, it had to be called.
He couldn't possibly remain indifferent when the problem was right in front of him, right?
But how was he supposed to solve the problem?
Remove the popularity of FV Team? Not let FV Team benefit from it?
Then, the popularity of the entire IOI World Competition would be affected. All the marketing funds that had been invested previously would be wasted.
Develop a similar spectator function here as well?
However, the key was that the problem with this function was not the technology, but whether there was a platform to cooperate with.
Based on Chrétien's understanding of Finger Games, he wanted to come up with a plan, find a platform to discuss cooperation, and develop this function during the IOI World Competition …
It was almost impossible.
Not to mention the international competition, they would be able to burn incense if this function could be completed within half a year.
He could not even think of a similar way to increase the popularity of IOI competition, let alone a similar function.
Continue to maintain the current state?
Even if they obtained some popularity, the popularity would benefit FV Team.
That would be an acceptable outcome for Finger Games unless another team other than FV Team won the championship in the end.
Everyone looked at each other and entered a familiar rhythm again.
Don't look at us, what can we do?
Chrétien also wanted to say that he couldn't do anything!
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly. Jin Yong suggested, "Forget it, let's call and report."
"We can only hope that the other teams can put in a little more effort and win FV Team. Then, everything will be fine."
Chrétien nodded helplessly. "Alright, that's the only way."
…
…
November 26th, Monday …
Suffering Travel Special Training Base.
Qiao Liang looked at the rather grand venue in front of him and suddenly wanted to retreat.
Something was wrong!
It was one thing to be mentally prepared, but it was another thing to see the indoor rock climbing wall that was several stories tall!
Qiao Liang's mind was filled with all sorts of question marks.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why did I come to this place?
I actually wanted to climb such a tall rock climbing wall?
Am I worthy?
I'm not!
What's more, this was just indoor training? Was the official suffering trip even more difficult than this?
Now, Qiao Liang understood why there were many deserters. There were so many opportunities before they went to the battlefield, but they did not escape. They only escaped when they arrived on the battlefield and ended up being killed on the spot.
That was because there were some things that no matter how mentally prepared it was, it would still not be ready when it arrived!
The thought of escaping involuntarily appeared in Qiao Liang's mind. At the same time, his legs began to retreat uncontrollably.
"Old Qiao! You're here too. So early. "
"I can tell that you can't wait either."
Qiao Liang turned around and saw Ruan Guangjian getting out of the car with a smile on his face.
Just like Qiao Liang, he did not bring much luggage with him. He only carried a small bag.
According to the rules of the suffering trip, the people who participated in the suffering trip did not have to bring anything with them as long as they arrived. From the clothes they wore, the food they ate, and the equipment they needed for training, they would all be provided by the suffering trip.
The corners of Qiao Liang's mouth twitched.
What the f * ck!
The reason why I came a little earlier than the agreed time was mainly to observe the situation in advance. If the situation was not right, I would escape in time!
It might not be right to do so, but my life was still more important.
At most, I would apologize to Boss Pei and the fans, even if I had to lose some money!
I believe everyone would understand.
"Ahem, you go in first. I don't think I'm mentally prepared yet." Qiao Liang involuntarily took a step back.
Ruan Guangjian was a little surprised. "Not mentally prepared? It's okay, I'm not mentally prepared either.
"Actually, I'm the same as you. I didn't want to come at all. Apart from being afraid of ghosts, I've never suffered much since I was a child. However, I feel that it would be a pity not to come since I've already drawn it.
"Come, let's support each other, cheer each other up, and persevere together!"
Ruan Guangjian said as he pulled Qiao Liang inside.
Qiao Liang's mouth was almost crooked from anger.
You still have the face to mention that you're afraid of ghosts!
Are you afraid of ghosts?!
You were so excited!
You're probably the same this time. You say that you've never suffered, but in fact, you'll probably climb faster than anyone else if you really want to do rock climbing or swimming.
Liar! I'll never believe you again!
Qiao Liang was unmoved. His desire to survive made him resist Ruan Guangjian's pull and continue to work hard to go out.
At that moment, another car stopped at the door, and Yao Bo got out.
"Eh, you're also here to participate in the suffering trip, aren't you? I'm Yao Bo, and you two are … "
Ruan Guangjian and Qiao Liang stopped pulling and briefly introduced themselves.
The three of them hit it off immediately.
Yao Bo was very happy. "I've long heard of your names. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! I didn't expect such a coincidence.
”
"Sigh, I've been pampered since I was a child. I've never suffered much. I heard that both of you have been trained in Tengda's Thriller Hostel. I hope you can help me through this."
"Let's go in then?"
Ruan Guangjian nodded. "Alright, let's go!"
The two of them dragged Qiao Liang in without any explanation.
Qiao Liang was quite resistant at first, but his heart wavered when he saw that Yao Bo was here as well. He was pushed in by the two of them.
That was because he had roughly understood the people on the list before and knew that Yao Bo was the young master of Jinding Corporation. He said that he had been pampered and had never suffered much. This was much more believable than Ruan Guangjian, and Qiao Liang still believed him.
Especially when Yao Bo said 'I heard that both of you have been trained in Thriller Hostel', Qiao Liang could not move his legs.
The other party had just finished praising him, yet he had run away like a wisp of smoke. How was this appropriate?
Moreover, looking at the composition of this team, there were pampered young masters and girls. Qiao Liang thought about how embarrassing it would be if he became the only one in this team who ran away!
Therefore, his shame temporarily overcame his rationality, and he was dragged into the hall.
