DGE Club conference room …
The managers of the various clubs gathered together, drinking tea and chatting.
These clubs had moved to Jingzhou for some time. After GOG's international invitational tournament, the clubs' days could be said to be leisurely and a little boring.
The clubs might still be playing mock competitions as usual, but the effect of the mock competitions would definitely be greatly reduced without the official competition.
On the other hand, the muscles of the team members had been growing steadily.
GOG's version update was not fast, so the teams did not need to rush to adapt to the new version. Everyone was looking forward to GOG's official release of the next stage of the plan.
The clubs guessed that GOG was probably going to launch a league model.
It was not difficult to guess. The esports industry still had many shortcomings in this area, but some popular sports events had many rules that could be used as a reference. They could just copy it.
What's more, it was very easy to set up a domestic league. The venue of the international invitational tournament could be used directly as the venue of the league. All the clubs were gathered in Jingzhou, and they could start immediately after arranging the competition schedule.
No matter how they looked at it, it seemed like Boss Pei had prepared it in advance. The other zones did not have such unique conditions.
This time, Zhang Yuan had probably invited everyone over to discuss the League Tournament.
That was also why the club managers vaguely followed Zhang Yuan's lead. That was because everyone knew in their hearts that Boss Zhang was not only the manager of the DGE Club but also someone who could speak directly to Boss Pei. If they really wanted to set up a GOG league in the future, Boss Zhang would definitely be one of the managers.
Thus, after Zhang Yuan informed the clubs today, the managers of these clubs immediately came over.
They only realized that Boss Pei was also present when they arrived. He sat quietly at the side without saying a word.
That made everyone even more certain that what they were going to talk about today was extraordinary.
Zhang Yuan distributed the new rules in his hand to each club in turn and then went straight to the point. He stated all the requirements that Boss Pei had put forward.
"Next, we will start planning for GOG's domestic league, which is the GPL. Everyone present has contributed to the development of GOG's professional circle. You are important participants in the first international invitational tournament, and you also have the strongest teams in the country. Therefore, everyone has the priority to join the GPL."
"However …
"If you want to join, you have to accept some official supervision and terms.
"Tengda is already planning to set up an esports division to coordinate the development of GOG and the entire esports circle. There are a few requests that I hope everyone can cooperate with. "
The club managers all looked at the new rules distributed by Zhang Yuan.
Manager Su of the H4 Club looked at this page and frowned slightly. The more he read, the uglier his face became.
The contents written on it were rather general. There were no detailed terms, but every one of them seemed to be ill-intentioned.
Tengda established the Esports Division to manage the systems of the GOG league and the international competition.
The E-Sports Department will provide the clubs and players with a unified standard contract, which will only stipulate the basic contents such as time, liquidated damages, transfer fees, salaries, etc. It is strictly prohibited to have Yin and Yang contracts and various other additional clauses.
During the transfer period, the club and the player could contact each other freely, but they could not sign a contract in private. The Esports Department had to organize the club to secretly bid on the player, and both parties had to abide by their promises.
He had to seek Tengda's official — the E-Sports Department — mediation first when there was a dispute.
If they did not abide by the above terms, Tengda's E-Sports Department could withdraw their qualifications for the GPL league at any time. The clubs whose qualifications had been withdrawn could transfer their GOG teams to a third party or to Tengda. Then, the E-Sports Department would find a suitable third party to take over.
Manager Su subconsciously looked at the others and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
In the eyes of these clubs, this requirement was a bit too much!
They might have followed Boss Zhang's lead before, but the premise was that Boss Zhang did not infringe on their interests!
Since the emergence of the domestic e-sports industry, the relationship between most game manufacturers and clubs had not interfered with each other.
Most game manufacturers did not have the ability or the leisure to carry out such management and requirements on the clubs. Many game manufacturers even relied on the support of the major clubs to organize competitions. Therefore, they turned a blind eye to the private actions of these clubs.
In order to protect their own interests, the major clubs would more or less do some tricks.
This was actually a problem left over from history. The current e-sports clubs were basically established by a group of rich people. More than half of them were backed by one or two rich second-generation heirs. The management in all aspects was very irregular. Of course, in their opinion, there was no need to be too formal.
Anyway, it was just for fun. What was the point of spending so much effort?
Many clubs were afraid of being poached by other clubs and poaching the entire team, so they had to sign some harsh terms similar to "slave contracts" with the new players.
In other words, whether it was the players who had been cheated before or by other clubs, they had a mind of their own, and then in order not to suffer a loss, they passed this risk on to more new players.
The clubs felt that this was protecting their legitimate rights and interests.
Now, Boss Pei's request was obviously "violating their legitimate rights and interests" because the set of rules they had set before was completely invalid.
Manager Su pursed his lips, but after thinking about it, he remained silent.
He knew that more than half of the clubs present would have opinions on these terms. He did not need to be the first to speak.
There was a short silence in the conference room.
Manager Li of the SUG Club was the first to be unable to hold back. After clearing his throat, he said, "Boss Zhang, there are some terms in this that don't seem to be very appropriate, right?
"Tengda has established an e-sports division to carry out unified management of e-sports competitions. This is, of course, a good thing. We all support it with both hands.
"But … is it necessary to use a standard contract? When each club and the players negotiate, the conditions given are different. How can a standard contract cover all possible situations?
"I think for the transfer, let the club and the players contact and sign the contract themselves. To put it bluntly, this is a legal issue. It is a little wasteful for the official to spend energy in this area.
"Moreover, this e-sports industry is maintained by all clubs together. We should seek common ground and put aside differences. Tengda has Tengda's rules, and our clubs also have our own habits of doing things. Isn't it good for everyone to respect each other?
"Everyone here is here to support Tengda. Isn't it lacking in humanity to kick them out just like that?"
"Therefore, I think this rule can be reconsidered and deliberated. What do you think?"
After Manager Li finished speaking, he looked at the other club managers.
"Yes, what Manager Li said makes sense!"
"Yes, Boss Zhang, this is a bit of a fuss. There is no need. Besides, signing a standard contract will definitely have many other problems. It will be more troublesome to solve at that time. What's more, there is no such precedent in the domestic e-sports circle. "
"Boss Zhang, everyone is particularly supportive of Boss Pei. That's why we bought players and moved the branch to Jingzhou. If we are kicked out just because we don't accept these terms, who would dare to cooperate with Tengda in the future? "
"Yes, we are the first batch of clubs to support GOG e-sports competition. Even if we don't have credit, we have worked hard …"
"It's not easy for the club now. Most clubs are purely burning money. We are also a vulnerable group. If there are no additional terms, the rights and interests of the players are guaranteed. What about our rights and interests?"
Many club managers have expressed similar thoughts as Manager Li.
Obviously, it was impossible for them to accept the supervision of Tengda E-Sports Division without saying a word.
The managers of these e-sports clubs were all old foxes and were very clear about this.
The key was that even if they accepted it, the boss of their own club would probably not accept it.
They did not dare to make things clear, but they could play the favor card and create some pressure by using both carrot and stick without exposing the matter.
Generally speaking, the game manufacturers would give some face and not make things awkward.
Manager Su did not speak and secretly looked at Boss Pei who was sitting on the side without saying a word.
He could not guess what kind of mentality Boss Pei would have.
If it was someone else, they might smile at this time and appease the club managers. This matter could be slowly discussed and considered.
However, if it was Boss Pei, it was not impossible to scold all these managers with a livid face. Boss Pei had full confidence to do so.
After all, the rules that Zhang Yuan issued were clearly written. If they did not agree, they could transfer the GPL access and even the entire GOG branch to a third party.
This showed that Boss Pei had a strong determination to promote this matter.
However, things were not so absolute. After all, there was a plan for the worst situation, but it did not mean that it must be used. No matter how determined Boss Pei's attitude was, he had to give a buffer, right?
Manager Su looked at Boss Pei and found that the corners of Boss Pei's mouth were slightly raised, seemingly with some … joy?
No way, right?
Was this a comforting smile or a sneer?
Manager Su suddenly felt that things seemed to be wrong. It did not develop as he expected at all, and he quickly swallowed the words on the tip of his mouth.
Zhang Yuan sighed silently. This group of old foxes, they really would not give in so easily.
They did not dare to directly hit the table hard, but they could play the emotional card and pretend to be pitiful.
There was a saying that 'don't hit a smiling person'. If these club managers dared to fall out, it would be easier to deal with. He was afraid that they would always pretend to be weak. If Tengda handled it too hard, it would produce some bad public opinion and create an impression that 'Tengda is unreasonable' to other clubs. That would not be easy to deal with.
Zhang Yuan subconsciously looked at Boss Pei who was sitting on the side.
At this critical moment, it was up to Boss Pei to deal with it.
