SUG Club …
Several club managers who had decided to sell their GOG teams were waiting for Manager Li to express his stance.
"Manager Li, why hasn't Boss Pei publicized the transfer of GOG teams until now? There's still no news on the internet! "
"That's right, Boss Pei's behavior is a little abnormal. He might not be able to sell it at this price, but he should at least publicize it and find potential buyers, right? Or has Boss Pei decided to take it over himself? "
"Sigh, I don't know what to look forward to now. Should I look forward to many people bidding and making a fortune, or should I look forward to no one buying …"
The club managers could not hold it in anymore.
That was because this matter was completely out of their control from beginning to end!
Originally, Manager Li had already made arrangements with several big clubs and told them not to take over the deal.
Manager Li felt that Boss Pei would definitely publicize this matter and let many people bid for it in order to knock them down.
However, if Boss Pei did that, it would be exactly what he wanted.
That was because of Manager Li's early operations. No matter how much Boss Pei advertised, there would not be many people bidding for it. That meant that Boss Pei could only pay for it himself at a high price. At the same time, it meant that the inflated valuation of these GOG teams would collapse.
At that time, the SUG Club would take the money and leave. Then, they would change teams and return to the GPL league. They would be able to earn millions of yuan just like that. It could be said that they were very happy.
The other clubs basically had similar ideas.
However, Boss Pei did not publicize it at all!
Why was that?
Manager Li tapped the table lightly, deep in thought.
After a while, he said in a low voice, "I understand Boss Pei's plan. He … probably wants to play a 'hold the market' game.
"He has probably seen through our thoughts.
"Think about it this way. If Boss Pei publicized it with great fanfare but few people bid for it, it would mean that the GOG teams are not worth that much money. This show would not continue.
"Therefore, Boss Pei decided to hold the market and only publicize it on a small scale. He asked the people around him to buy a little while he took care of the rest. That way, it would give people the illusion that it was' very popular '.
"To put it bluntly, it's the same trick as some merchants.
"Sell it in limited quantities bit by bit, raise the transaction price, and slowly 'destock'.
"This way, the market won't collapse, and we can make more money!"
The other club managers had a sudden realization.
So that was how it was!
Boss Pei had already realized that not many people would take over the business. Thus, he decided to cover it himself. He deliberately did not release the news, creating the illusion that 'ordinary people could not buy it and the insiders were fighting for it'. That way, he could maintain the high valuation of the GOG teams and GPL entry qualifications.
Once Tengda bought all of them, they could sell them slowly through other methods, artificially creating scarcity and raising the price.
"Then what should we do?" Someone began to panic.
If Boss Pei really succeeded, then sellers like them would definitely suffer losses. It would be difficult for them to buy it back.
Manager Li laughed. "Why are you panicking? We have plenty of ways! "
"The simplest way is to buy fake reviewers online and publicize it with great fanfare. Just say that the GPL is about to collapse. Several clubs are transferring their GOG teams. The league can't continue because of Tengda's unfair rules!"
"We've already talked to the other big clubs. They definitely won't make a move."
"It's human nature to buy up and not down. As long as the expectation of 'down' is formed, other capital will wait and see and not buy."
"At that time, Boss Pei's method of covering the market will collapse on its own!"
"After all, the premise of covering the market is that you have to close a small number of transactions. If no one wants it at all, why would you cover it up?"
The club managers' eyes lit up. "Alright, we'll arrange for fake reviewers now!"
Manager Li could not help but sneer. "Hmph, Boss Pei, that's all there is to it."
"How can he be as powerful as the rumors say?"
…
…
November 2nd, Wednesday …
Pei Qian woke up as usual and went to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to have brunch while swiping his cell phone.
He actually did not care about selling the GOG teams at all because there was no need to.
He was just waiting for Tengda to take over these teams when they could not be sold!
He was browsing today's news when someone suddenly called.
Pei Qian focused his gaze and saw that it was Lin Chang!
Why was he calling?
Fei Huang Workspace's new movie had not even been finalized yet!
Pei Qian picked up the phone with doubts.
"Hello? Boss Pei, I heard that the clubs in Tengda's GPL league are now transferring ready-made GOG teams and GPL slots, right? "
Pei Qian's head instantly floated with question marks.
？
He quickly said, "Did Lin Wan tell you?"
Lin Chang smiled. "There's no need for Ah Wan to tell me. It's all over the internet!"
Pei Qian: "???"
He quickly waved for the waiter to bring the laptop over and searched for relevant information online while holding his cell phone.
In the end, he found a lot!
He did not know where it came from, but there was even information about the various clubs' quotations. A large number of netizens had been discussing it since last night!
He casually scanned through a few posts.
"More than ten million yuan? So valuable! "
"I'll definitely buy one when I win the lottery. Professional players will play games with me!"
"EK wants to sell even after winning the runner-up title? Are they crazy? "
"It looks like the news from some time ago is true. Tengda is squeezing the various clubs too hard. The clubs are planning to quit together, so they want to sell all of them! That means they don't want to play with you anymore! "
"I think Tengda is going to suffer a lot this time. The base price is already so high. Who would buy it? This money is enough to buy a small club and still have some left! "
"I heard that Tengda is going to cover the bottom line if they can't sell it? Is that true? "
"That can't be. Tengda doesn't need to cover the bottom line. Do they have too much money to burn?"
The onlookers were all discussing. Some were on the clubs' side, while others were on Tengda's side.
Pei Qian felt light-headed.
Who did it?!
Who told me about this?!
I just wanted to lose some money quietly, but now there's so much attention. What if someone comes to snatch it?!
Over the phone, Lin Chang said, "Boss Pei, is the GPL league not going well? I read the public opinion online. Those clubs don't seem to listen to you. "
"How about this? I discussed it with my second brother. The football club he raised has spent a lot of money, and the publicity effect is good. I told him to take out some spare money to buy a GPL team. "
"In any case, I believe that Boss Pei will definitely be able to do a good job with the GPL. It would be good to see Shenhua's team in the competition!"
Pei Qian: "???"
Sensing that Lin Chang was about to hang up, Pei Qian quickly said, "No need! There's really no need. I have everything under control. I don't need your help! "
Over the phone, Lin Chang smiled. "Aiya, this isn't considered help. We're buying a GPL team to promote ourselves."
"Don't worry, Boss Pei. This is just a small sum of money. My brother's football club has a transfer fee of 20 million yuan for a player. It's quite worth it for him to spend more than 10 million yuan to buy a ready-made GPL team.
"That's it then. I'll go to Jingzhou to drink with you another day!"
Lin Chang hung up after saying that.
Pei Qian looked at his cell phone screen. "What the f * ck …"
He read the information on the Internet again.
Most of the information online was pessimistic about this matter. They all felt that the GPL league would definitely be affected by the boycott of so many clubs. However, Pei Qian vaguely felt that things would not develop as predicted online.
This is bad!
There were only six teams in total. If they sold one more team to a third party, Tengda would have one less team to support. That would mean spending more than ten million yuan less!
Without further ado, he quickly called Zhang Yuan.
"Hello? Zhang Yuan, how many people have contacted us to buy GPL teams recently? "
Zhang Yuan's surprised voice came from the other end of the line. "Boss Pei, there are at least ten buyers who have expressed their intention to buy!"
Pei Qian's heart skipped a beat.
Ten?!
He had thought that two or three would be good enough. Why were there so many people?!
Pei Qian quickly asked, "Who are they?"
Zhang Yuan answered, "Boss Li's Fu Hui Investments and investors want to buy two; Shenhua Real Estate's Boss Lin wants to buy one; the rich second-generation heir of the coal boss, Xue Zhebin, wants to buy one; Sun Strike Studios' Boss Zhou, wants to buy one …"
"There are also some big companies that have wanted to work with us for a long time, as well as speculators who saw business opportunities from this and wanted to buy out the GPL quota before reselling it …"
Pei Qian fell silent.
If that was the case, there were indeed more than ten!
However, he was a little puzzled. Why were Xue Zhebin and Zhou Muyan involved?
Xue Zhebin had set up a restaurant with Boss Li and was a young man himself. It was understandable that he was tricked by Boss Li into buying a club. What about Zhou Muyan?
Pei Qian said to Zhang Yuan, "Alright, find a time to arrange for everyone to bid. The sooner, the better!"
Pei Qian did not dare to wait any longer. If he delayed, things would change.
The more people involved, the higher the price would be. Wouldn't that be terrible?!
After hanging up, Pei Qian immediately called Zhou Muyan.
He wanted to ask Zhou Muyan why he was here to meddle!
Soon, the call went through.
"Boss Zhou, why did you come to buy an E-Sports Club?" Pei Qian was confused.
On the other end of the line, Zhou Muyan was a little stunned. "What's wrong? Can't I?"
"… Alright, but this is more than ten million yuan. Sun Strike Studios doesn't earn money from supporting such a club. What are you after?" Pei Qian was very confused.
Zhou Muyan smiled. "Oh, so Boss Pei is afraid that I'll spend money for nothing."
"You don't have to worry about that. Sun Strike Studios is a game company to begin with. Isn't it reasonable for them to support a club to make their presence known to the gamers and advertise their new game? "
"Don't worry, Boss Pei. Our studio's income is more than enough to cover the costs."
Pei Qian: "…"
Indeed, Sun Strike Studios was famous for its paywall games. There were many games with a monthly revenue of more than a hundred million yuan. It was indeed a piece of cake for them to fork out more than ten million yuan to buy a club.
Zhou Muyan's words were logical and Pei Qian could not find a way to refute him.
"Alright," Pei Qian hung up helplessly.
Zhou Muyan looked at his phone with a puzzled expression.
Why did it feel like Boss Pei wasn't too happy about supporting him?
