Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment. He did not seem to have any reason to reject.
Peng Bin's offer was already full of sincerity.
It could be seen as the era of the live-stream industry. All kinds of capital saw the opportunity and entered. The money-burning war between live-stream platforms was about to start.
As one of the earliest live-stream platforms, Waiwai Live-Stream was relatively rich and generous in this regard.
Two million yuan a year was already considered very high at the moment. After all, how many executives could earn two million yuan a year?
As for the astronomical figures of top live-streamers, it was partly because of the crazy price hikes after all. On the other hand, there was a lot of exaggeration in the figures.
At least, Huang Wang would not have thought that an internet addict who ate instant noodles in an internet cafe a year ago could sign such a big contract.
Of course, Peng Bin was only willing to offer such a price to Huang Wang for now. He mainly considered three aspects: personal skills, eloquence, and image (muscles).
He judged that Huang Wang was worth investing in, had a lot of topics, and was very promising. He was very suitable for live-streaming.
Naturally, the two million yuan sponsorship for the DGE Club was also very practical considerations.
Peng Bin already knew some information about the DGE Club from the H4 Club. There were also three points that interested him:
The DGE Club was currently the most powerful club in the country.
The DGE Club was taking the lead in arranging mock competitions between various teams.
The DGE Club was supported by Tengda, and the club manager was once Boss Pei's trusted subordinate.
Did such a club need to worry about not being exposed?
Why would Tengda need to support it if it was not exposed?
After the GOG competition, Peng Bin felt that he had reason to suspect that Tengda had arranged for the DGE Club to achieve a catfish effect!
The DGE Club's high-intensity challenge before the GOG competition improved the competitive standards of all the teams, allowing them to quickly move towards normalization.
Peng Bin did not believe that it was a pleasant surprise.
The DGE Club was obviously an important part of Tengda's plan to promote GOG!
In the future, the DGE Club might even play a role in regulating the competitive environment of other major clubs and become a model for all other clubs to learn from.
The audience naturally admired the strong. As long as the DGE Club could maintain its strength, there would always be a chance to be exposed.
What's more, the two million yuan could also increase Tengda's favorability. Why not?
Zhang Yuan was also happy to accept the money.
Zhang Yuan also hoped that his team members would be able to make a name for themselves, gain more attention, and live a better life. Therefore, the club would not take a single cent of the two million that the live broadcast platform had given to Huang Wang.
To the DGE Club, why wouldn't they accept money from others?
Two million wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small amount either. The other clubs were all envious of this opportunity.
For a club, its income mainly came from a few limited areas: investment and advertising sponsorship, competition bonuses, live broadcast platform signing fees, team uniforms and peripherals, transfer fees for players and so on.
Most clubs did not make a profit, but it did not mean that they did not want to make a profit.
DGE did not expect to get any prize money from the competition, and neither did they expect to get any team uniforms or merchandise. If they still did not accept investments and advertisements, they would really become a charity organization that burned money, right? Definitely not appropriate.
He would symbolically earn two million yuan first. To Boss Pei, this small amount of money was definitely not worth mentioning. The main purpose was to send a message: The DGE Club was profitable. Boss Pei, don't worry!
The more Zhang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was suitable. Both parties hit it off and immediately agreed to find a time to sign the contract.
…
…
August 8th, Monday …
Pei Qian came to Shang Yang Games in the morning.
He was very concerned about GOG's world server.
Of course, he did not care about GOG's market share in the overseas market. He mainly wanted to know how the money was being spent. Boss Pei would not be able to sleep in peace if the seventy million US dollars was not spent.
Everyone quickly arrived in the conference room.
Everyone could feel that Boss Pei obviously attached great importance to GOG's world server and felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Ye Zhizhou began to report the situation of GOG's world server.
"Boss Pei, the English translation of GOG has been basically completed. It will be released in Europe and the United States soon. As for the publicity strategy, there are three main directions: online advertising, live-streamer publicity, and channel promotion.
"The current strategy is mainly to test the waters. After all, we don't know much about the overseas situation. We will test it a little first, and if the effect is good, we will increase the investment.
"In terms of channel promotion, we are considering to tilt the focus of the promotion towards the mobile game due to the interconnected nature of GOG's client-side game and mobile game. After all, IOI does not have a mobile game. That is our biggest advantage."
After Ye Zhizhou finished speaking, Ye Zhizhou silently added in his heart: We suffered a huge loss because of this back then …
After listening to him, Pei Qian was silent for a moment before he said, "So, what is the specific amount of funds?"
Ye Zhizhou cleared his throat and said weakly, "If we are talking about this … it would be five million US dollars."
Pei Qian frowned.
Five million US dollars?
What's more, they might not even be able to finish spending it in a week?
At this speed, wouldn't it take a long time for them to finish spending seventy million US dollars?
Would I still be able to incur losses in this cycle?
Don't mess with me!
Pei Qian gently knocked on the table twice. "You're wasting too much time. Leave some necessary operating costs and make a budget for the rest. We'll spend it all in about a month!"
Ye Zhizhou was shocked. "Boss Pei, that's not very good, right?
"At the moment, GOG might not be able to meet the tastes of overseas players. We are not sure which marketing plan is better. I don't know where to spend so much money at once …"
Don't know where to spend it?
Seeing Ye Zhizhou's inexperienced look, Pei Qian knew that he had to help him.
It was no wonder that most subordinates did not dare to make decisions for their boss when they received such a large sum of money.
He had to do it himself.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. "How about this? Spend it according to my plan.
"Does anyone know the price of the big screen in Times Square?"
Everyone looked at each other. Finally, Lin Wan spoke up. "Boss Pei, Shenhua bought it there before. The prices of the screens in Times Square are very different. The largest screen with 300,000 visitors a day costs 2.5 million … RMB a month. "
Pei Qian: "?"
Only 2.5 million RMB? RMB?
That was a little too cheap.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. "Then, buy a few more. Can you buy an entire street? Let's spend two million US dollars.
"If we buy Times Square, shouldn't we symbolically buy a few other squares as well? In that case, increase it to ten million US dollars.
"We've already bought the sky; should we buy the ground as well? There should be quite a number of subways and public buses in each country. Spend another ten million US dollars to buy some advertising space on subways, public buses, and bus stop signs.
"Make do with online advertisements and buy some. Add another five million US dollars.
"How can we just find live-streamers to promote it? We still have to rely on the clubs for such things! Let's directly sponsor those veteran foreign clubs. Each club will sponsor one million US dollars. We'll sponsor ten of them first!
"When the time comes, print GOG's logo on the uniforms of those IOI clubs. They have to turn on their cameras when they live-stream IOI. At the same time, we can advertise GOG!
"Since we've already sponsored them, let's let these clubs set up GOG branches as well. That's not too much, right?
"Then, we'll set aside another five million US dollars for a new international invitational tournament. This time, we'll invite the world's top clubs to play together. Apart from the money for organizing the tournament, the rest will be distributed as prizes!
"There's still more than twenty million US dollars …"
He had to say that this was really a lot of money. Even Pei Qian, who had always been extravagant in the System Funds, could not think of where else to spend it.
He looked at everyone, wanting to get some hints from them. However, everyone was obviously shocked by Boss Pei's generosity and was too embarrassed to speak.
Pei Qian thought about it and decided to use everyone's imagination in reverse.
"I'll leave the last bit of money for you as a small test.
"There's still one most important direction for the current publicity plan that has not been completed. Think about what it is and then complete this plan."
Ye Zhizhou quickly recorded it down and quickly nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei, I understand!"
Although he did not know what Boss Pei's final 'small test' was, he could not ask too much since it was a test. He had to figure it out himself.
After memorizing everything, everyone felt relieved.
They had to admit that this was indeed too much money. Everyone spent it with their hands and feet tied. They were afraid of losing out no matter where they spent it.
Boss Pei was still very bold. The problem that everyone had been struggling with for a long time had been easily solved!
Although they felt that this figure was a little sloppy, it was only a general problem. The details could be studied slowly.
Pei Qian, who had come up with a plan to spend money, felt relaxed. He asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Yes, Boss Pei," Lin Wan said.
"As far as I know, Eric's first wave of publicity strategy has basically been declared a failure."
Pei Qian looked confused. "Who is Eric? What publicity strategy? How did it fail? "
Lin Wan felt a little helpless. She thought that Eric had really overestimated his position in Boss Pei's heart. In fact, Boss Pei did not even remember his name …
"He is the person-in-charge of Dayak Corporation who parachuted into Finger Games' China region. He is also the person who actually formulated the publicity strategy for IOI's local server and is the person who is directly competing with us."
"Oh …" Pei Qian seemed to have some impression of him. "How long has it been since they took over IOI's local server? Have they failed so efficiently?"
Lin Wan could not help but smile. "Yes, Boss Pei.
"The first thing Eric did after taking over IOI's local server was to look for some internet cafe chains to cooperate with. That's because this move had an immediate effect when it was promoted in South Korea. The results were obvious."
"However, most internet cafes are not interested in this. After all, this is what we have left.
"Even if some internet cafes accepted it, not many players would really play IOI because of the reduced network fees."
Lin Wan's lips curled into an unkind smile. That was because Dayak's current experience was the same as Shang Yang Games'. It was simply a repeat of history.
Pei Qian was a little disappointed. "That's it? I suggest that he increase his efforts. It's best if he starts a price war. How can he not be willing to spend more money to snatch users? "
Ye Zhizhou said, "He must have just entered the local market and is not familiar with the situation. He wants to test the waters first. After all, the market environment in East Asia has certain similarities. That's why he thinks that copying South Korea's experience might be useful. "
Pei Qian sniggered.
Test the waters?
Yes, after you test the waters, you will realize that none of the paths will work. That is because Shang Yang Games has already tried all kinds of methods …
"Alright, let's go."
Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
Just as he reached the door, his cell phone vibrated.
He took it out and saw that Zhang Yuan had sent him a picture. He could not see the details clearly, but the two million figure was particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Yuan, "Boss Pei! The DGE Club finally has its first income! Congratulations! "
Pei Qian was stunned. He clicked on the picture to take a closer look. Instantly, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body froze, and he almost cursed out loud.
"A club that can't compete has a f * cking sponsor?
"That's crazy!
