At the same time, in another room of the H4 Club, the captain of the GOG team, Pang Ling, was live-streaming and chatting with fans.
The club had a strict schedule. Usually, live-streaming could only be done after daily training or on weekends. What's more, live-streaming could not affect normal rest time.
However, the club generally encouraged live-streaming of its members.
To the team members, the career of esports players was short. Live-Streaming was a new thing that could be considered after retirement. They could live-stream more now and accumulate popularity with good results. They could earn some income and plan for their retirement in advance.
To the club, live-streaming of its members could also help the club become famous. What's more, live-streaming platforms had to talk to the club first if they wanted to sign a contract with the team. Often, they would sign an entire team. Thus, the club could benefit from it.
Although the H4 team's GOG team had been runner-up in the previous competition, the captain, Pang Ling, had performed well in the roaming position and gained many fans.
If not for the fact that the team's mid-laner was too bad, they might have won the championship.
Thus, with the popularity of the competition, Pang Ling also gained a crazy wave of fans. With the live-streaming platform's promotion, his popularity increased even more.
These professional players were originally high-scoring passersby in GOG. After they officially started playing professionally, their personal abilities and understanding of the game improved rapidly. Naturally, the gap between them and ordinary passersby was widening.
There was a saying: don't use your hobbies to challenge other people's rice bowls. Once you became a full-time professional, the gap between you and an amateur would only widen.
After becoming a professional player, Pang Ling's understanding of the game had long surpassed that of ordinary players in high-end games. He could easily get through the roaming position and still had the energy to say some dirty words. Naturally, the effect of gaining fans was very good.
After playing two games, Pang Ling queued up and chatted with the bullet screen comments.
"Some people say it's a pity that we didn't win the championship."
"It's a pity indeed. In fact, we were so close."
"Some people ask if it was very hopeless."
"No, it's not hopeless at all."
"It's a pity to fight five rounds. If it's hopeless, it would be to be swept with a score of 3: 0 and have no way to fight back for 15 minutes. That's hopeless."
"Hehe, I've really experienced this feeling before. Our team couldn't even beat the others with six against four. That was hopeless. "
"After being abused so many times, we felt that it was good to get second place. We thought we were going to be eliminated in one round, but we realized that the other teams were as bad as we were. "
"Dirty words? I'm not. That's the truth. "
Pang Ling spoke seriously about his personal experience, but the bullet screen clearly did not believe him at all.
"What the f * ck are you talking about? It's a tie for 15 minutes, six against four to win. Who are you trying to fool? The best club team in the country is participating. Are you talking about a foreign club team? Oh, sorry, GOG doesn't have outside yet! "
"You said that there's such an amazing team? Which team is it?"
“DGE? Weren't they the two teams that competed in the internet cafe during the opening of Tengda Live Esports Museum? "Time" Ten, Ten, Ten, "Is, Team, Time!"
"Ling," … "Pan," Pan, Pan, Pan, "… …"
Pang Ling felt helpless as he looked at the bullet screen.
Pan, Time, Pan., Ling..,., Pan., Pan.,..., Pan, Pan,
"Li," "," — — "," was,, "," was, "was," — — "was, was," was ", was". "
"Forget it. Believe it or not."
"I'll get the captain of DGE's second team to play with me. Look at his standard, and you'll know how sick they are."
"I can only say that there are nine more people as scary as him."
Pang Ling casually pulled Huang Wang over, and together, they played a double row.
Question marks appeared on the bullet screen because Huang Wang's account was still a Master.
There was no other way. DGE Club had too little time to play alone.
Compared to other clubs, Huang Wang and the others had to take out two hours to practice customization and two hours to work out. After deducting the time spent on training and analyzing the match, they only had two hours of actual time for solo play.
Pang Ling and the others had to play at least five to six hours a day. That was why there was a difference in their scores.
However, in the world of professionals, a higher score did not necessarily mean a better match.
Some people played like drinking water, but their scores were not high. That was because they felt that drinking too much was meaningless.
Some people felt that their opponents were as bad as masters. Playing against such opponents often would make them noobs as well. Thus, ranking was just entertainment.
Pang Ling: "Bring me flying?"
Huang Wang: "Go!"
…
An hour later, the bullet screen comments in Pang Ling's live-stream had taken a 180-degree turn.
That was because these two people's duos were too cruel!
The top Mid Jungler in the professional league came to the high-end ranking, vividly illustrating what it meant to do whatever one wanted.
There were still question marks on the bullet screen. However, this time, the question marks were not directed at Huang Wang's ranking, but at his nonsense.
"I thought Captain Pang had enough nonsense. Compared to this new Mid Laner, he's like an autistic child!"
"What do you mean by this Mid Laner dares to come up and eat experience? Do you think he's talking like a human? "
"How did you manage to talk non-stop while killing the opponent?"
"F * ck, isn't this Mid Laner too fierce? Who is it? Is there a live-stream room? "
"He does whatever he wants, and the opponent gives up after 15 minutes?"
"If this Mid Laner was in the finals, would they lose?"
"I kind of understand why Captain Pang always complained about his own Mid Laner. They're really not on the same level …"
"This Mid Laner is a chatterbox. Why does he keep talking?"
"Is there a live-stream room? Hurry up and give him one! I want to see his first-person view! "
After a wave of massacring consecutive wins, the popularity of Pang Ling's live-stream room exploded. Clearly, the live-stream platform was intentionally promoting it. Moreover, the effect of the Duo Laner's High Laner segment was good. The two of them talking nonsense together was like a crosstalk. Their popularity grew and they could not stop!
Pang Ling saw that the bullet screen was full of discussions about Huang Wang and that no one was talking about him. He felt a little helpless.
Fans! Each and every one of them was so fickle.
After a wave of five consecutive wins, Huang Wang was ready to slip away.
"Alright, I'm not playing anymore. I have to go to the gym. I lose every day in mock competitions and have to train every day. I'm so sick."
Pang Ling hurriedly said, "Wait, a lot of my viewers are asking if you want to do a live-stream. They want to see your first-person view."
"Live-Stream?" Huang Wang thought about it. "Forget it. I train every day and don't have time to do a live-stream."
Pang Ling: "It's fine. Just do it for fun. There are so many people who don't want to do a live-stream. You just have to do it when you're playing ranked. It's not troublesome."
Huang Wang thought about it. It seemed to be the case. "Alright, then I'll look into it after I come back from the gym."
…
…
August 1st, Monday …
Pei Qian went to the office as usual. However, he did not hum along the way. Instead, he looked a little worried.
How was he going to deal with Fish-Catching Take-Out?!
Last week, Pei Qian basically did not have much energy to care about other things. He had been observing Fish-Catching Take-Out.
However, the more he observed, the worse the situation became!
Fish-Catching Take-Out's customer base was still expanding. What's more, even many families who used to cook for themselves were starting to order Fish-Catching Take-Out!
That was because cooking for themselves would produce a lot of kitchen waste that had to be sorted and thrown away.
Many families who cooked for themselves would sometimes get lazy and order Fish-Catching Take-Out. That way, they would not have to throw away the kitchen waste.
Many companies in office buildings also produced a lot of waste for their meals. To save trouble, they encouraged all their employees to order Fish-Catching Take-Out.
The launch of Food · Harmony also met the high-end needs of some customers.
Many people were originally more against take-out because they felt that it was unhygienic and unhealthy. However, after taking this opportunity to understand Food Harmony and Fish-Catching Take-Out, the original stereotypes were broken!
What was worse was that Fish-Catching Take-Out seemed to have some adverse effects on Deposit Fitness.
There were fitness meals on Fish-Catching Take-Out, and fitness meals were specially coordinated with Deposit Fitness. Many people were curious about this and would go to Deposit Fitness.
Although this situation had not appeared on a large scale, there were already signs of it. They had to be vigilant.
In short, the situation seemed to be getting more and more difficult to deal with!
The microbial waste processor was still being purchased. After all, the quantity was relatively large. It would probably only arrive next week. However, Pei Qian felt a little more at ease after spending the money.
It was not a lot, but it meant that he would have to spend more than a hundred thousand yuan for every Fish-Catching Take-Out branch in the future.
That should be the only good news.
Pei Qian was very melancholic. He could feel the approaching danger, but he could not think of a way to save himself.
Knock, knock.
Just as he was worrying, there was a knock on the door.
Pei Qian looked up and frowned when he saw He Desheng.
"Eh? Is there a problem with the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine? "
The Fully-Automated Bickering Machine was a treasure that Pei Qian had carefully hidden. He must not let others find it!
Pei Qian's request was not too much. He just wanted to hide it from this cycle and lose a few million yuan.
As for whether he could hide it until the next cycle, he would think about it then.
He Desheng did not know how to answer at that moment. "Er, Zhang Wang should have reported the problem with the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, right?"
Pei Qian nodded. "Oh, that means there's no problem. Is there anything else?"
He Desheng was very anxious. "Of course! Boss Pei, Dayak Corporation wants to buy our shares in Finger Games, including the operating rights of IOI's local server! "
Pei Qian could not help but frown.
They really came knocking on his door?
Logically, they did not have to pursue 100% of the shares. What's more, why did they want the operating rights of IOI's local server?
Pei Qian had already thought about making IOI's local server his money-burning tree. It was fine if Pei Qian did not have the money to participate in Dayak Corporation's acquisition of Finger Games. Now, they wanted to touch his money-burning tree. That was ridiculous.
Pei Qian frowned and asked, "Why does Dayak Corporation want the operating rights of IOI's local server?"
He Desheng hesitated for a while and answered. "Dayak Corporation and Finger Games both think that we did not perform well in the process of promoting IOI's local server, so …"
Pei Qian was speechless. "Nonsense!"
Don't you know what kind of game you're making?
I've already helped you so much, but you still can't get up. Shouldn't you look at yourselves for the problem? Why are you pushing the blame to us?!
I gave IOI various suggestions a long time ago, but you refused to change. Now, you're saying that there's a problem with our operations?
MDZZ!
Pei Qian did not intend to sell it to begin with. Now that he heard that attitude, he did not want to sell it at all.
"I'm not selling either the shares or the operating rights of the local server!"
Pei Qian could not be bothered to argue with these foreigners.
He Desheng hesitated for a while. "Er … Boss Pei, Dayak Corporation said that they're willing to pay 50 million US dollars. Compared to the price we paid for it, this is indeed a good deal.
"They also said that we'd better take the money and leave. Otherwise, it would be bad for everyone if we fell out with them …"
Pei Qian: "?"
What do they mean?
They want to use money on me?
I'm sorry, but I have a 99.9% resistance buff against money …
What's more, what does this attitude mean? It would be bad for everyone if we fell out with them?
No matter how powerful you are, can you swim over from the other side of the ocean to hit me? Tengda does not have any international business!
What's more, if falling out with them could really make me incur losses, I would do it on the spot for you to see. Why would I need you to come here to complain?
Pei Qian did some calculations. 50 million US dollars was only equivalent to slightly more than four hundred thousand US dollars. He could easily burn millions or tens of millions of IOI's local server as a money-burning tree. How could he give it up with just four hundred thousand US dollars?
Dream on!
Pei Qian's expression darkened. "Reply to them: F * * * K!
OFF!”
He Desheng was shocked and quickly said, "Alright, Boss Pei!"
…
He Desheng touched his chest and calmed himself down as he walked out of Boss Pei's office.
He had indeed been shocked just now.
He had never seen Boss Pei swear before.
However, Boss Pei was indeed not an ordinary person.
If it had been anyone else, they would have been shaken upon hearing fifty million US dollars, right?
What's more, the other party was a world-class giant like Dayak Corporation. They would have been more or less afraid.
In the end, Boss Pei rejected him without even thinking and replied with a word that began with an 'F'.
Such boldness was really impressive!
However, He Desheng was a little worried because he knew that Dayak Corporation would definitely be as stubborn as Pei Qian. He could tell from the fact that very few people in the companies they wanted to acquire managed to escape.
Dayak Corporation would definitely not let the matter rest after being scolded like this.
At that time, how the script unfolded would not be something that could be decided by a single person.
"It's rare to see Boss Pei angry.
"Logically speaking, this is a normal business method. Boss Pei has always been broad-minded. There's no reason for him to be angry, right?
"Perhaps … there's a backup plan?
"Could it be that Boss Pei asking me to reply with a word that began with an 'F' is also part of his strategy?"
He Desheng thought for a long time but still had no clue. He decided to obediently reply with the standard word that Boss Pei gave him.
He should just watch from the side when immortals of this level were fighting. It was best not to get involved.
In any case, he would not go wrong if he followed Boss Pei's instructions.
