Pei Qian began to worry after hanging up.
Why did the other companies that they weren't very familiar with also want to join in?
Pei Qian quickly guessed it.
He looked at the first few companies that entered. There were investment companies, real estate companies, rich second-generation heirs, gaming companies, and even a giant like Shenhua Real Estate!
What level was Shenhua Real Estate? The transfer fee for a player in a football club was more than twenty million yuan!
What's more, it would be even higher in a few years.
In the beginning, the domestic football league was also half-dead. However, after Shenhua Real Estate and a few other large real estate companies entered, they began to spend money crazily and instantly became famous. The club might have been burning money, but the advertising fees they saved were worth it.
To Shenhua Real Estate, it was quite worth it to buy an E-Sports Club with the transfer fee of a player. What's more, it was the kind that could directly obtain results.
Boss Pei was the one who was in charge of the GPL. If it succeeded, everyone would be happy. If it failed, they would not feel the pinch even if they threw away the ten million yuan.
However, Shenhua Real Estate's entry instantly became a bellwether!
Previously, television programs had already been appealing to various companies to cooperate with Tengda. There would definitely be no harm. Thus, Tengda's current actions were being watched by many large companies.
Once there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately rush over.
After all, Tengda had created so many business miracles and excavated so many industry opportunities. This was not fake.
Coupled with the endorsement of the 'Tengda model' by a famous economist, its appeal could not be underestimated.
These companies immediately felt that they had smelled the wind once the GPL league slots and ready-made teams were announced.
The E-Sports Clubs might not have been profitable before, but what kind of people were those E-Sports Clubs?
Some were ordinary rich second-generation heirs, some were self-organized by internet addicts, and some were developed by training studios … In short, there was not a single regular army.
However, what kind of companies were bidding for the GPL?
Shenhua, a giant company in the country. Shenhua Real Estate was a top player in the domestic football industry.
Xue Zhebin might be a rich second-generation heir, but he was different from other rich second-generation heirs. His family was especially rich.
Sun Strike Studios was one of the top games studios in the country. They might not be as famous as Tengda, but they made a lot of money.
What was this called?
This was called a regular army!
They were not on the same level as the bosses and capital of those clubs. How could they be compared?
Since these people felt that the GPL was promising, it meant that this matter was definitely profitable. Once they left, there would definitely be more capital to follow.
Thus, the companies that had been paying attention to Tengda all moved upon hearing the news and expressed their desire to bid.
They didn't care about the public opinion outside.
Public opinion could be influenced and guided. Moreover, how could ordinary netizens know anything about the inside story? They were just watching on the sidelines.
The ones who would decide how these companies would choose were the leading companies!
Pei Qian was instantly discouraged.
It's over!
These companies all wanted to buy GOG's teams and join the GPL league. However, there were only six clubs preparing to sell GOG's teams. Didn't that mean that they had all found third-party buyers?
That way, Tengda would not have to back him up or pay the liquidated damages.
Vomit blood!!
A good opportunity to burn money was ruined by this group of people again!
At first, Pei Qian had been looking forward to the auction. He had hoped that no one would take over the GOG teams and that he would happily accept them.
Now, it was pointless.
That was because it had nothing to do with him whether these GOG teams were sold or not. Tengda could not bid with third-party buyers.
Pei Qian sighed silently.
Forget it, let's just leave it at that. I'll just treat it as a waste of effort.
However, Pei Qian had just taken two sips of coffee when his phone rang again.
He picked it up and saw that it was Zhang Yuan.
Pei Qian: "?"
He quickly picked up the phone.
"Boss Pei! I just told the six clubs about the auction, and then … sigh, Boss Pei, you didn't guess it, did you? "
Pei Qian: "?"
What did I guess? I guessed it!
Can you not say half of what you said?!
Pei Qian was speechless. "What happened then?"
Zhang Yuan said excitedly, "Then, three of the clubs decided not to sell!"
Pei Qian was stunned.
Not selling?
Can't you have some spirit of the contract? Why did you change your mind after agreeing to sell?
Sigh, that's not right. Didn't we already sign the contract?
Pei Qian was a little puzzled. "Didn't we already sign the agency contract? If they don't sell, they'll have to pay the penalty! "
Zhang Yuan laughed. "That's why Boss Pei, your move is brilliant!
"Those clubs did want to sell their GOG teams at a high price at first and then buy an internet cafe team at a low price to fight their way back.
"That's why they signed the contract."
"But now, the wind has completely changed!
"Shenhua and these few companies joined the bidding, and the number of companies bidding instantly increased to ten. The bidding might not have officially started, but the price would definitely increase by at least thirty to forty percent!
"That's not a good thing. These clubs know very well that even though they can sell for a high price now, it also means that a lot of companies outside are eyeing the GPL slots!
"What's more, the GPL hasn't even started yet, and there are already so many people fighting for it. Wouldn't it be even more intense in the future?
"They've thought it through. Once they sell their teams and GPL slots for more than ten million yuan now, it would probably be difficult to buy them back in the future!
"However, they have no choice but to sell. The contract is here.
"That's why they'd rather pay two to three million yuan for the penalty than sell! That's because if they sell it, they'll incur even more losses in the future!
"Boss Pei, you've done a little trick and earned another ten million yuan!"
Pei Qian listened to Zhang Yuan's overjoyed voice over the phone and fell into a daze.
No, I added the penalty clause in the contract. I had planned to pay it myself!
I didn't want to earn money from these clubs!
However, it was too late to say anything now. The contract had already been signed. Tengda had no chance of breaching the contract now.
He could only accept the ten million yuan from these three clubs with tears in his eyes!
Pei Qian was speechless for a moment.
"Then … what about the other three clubs who insist on continuing to sell? Are they still selling SUG? "Pei Qian asked.
Zhang Yuan: "They're still selling SUG! These three companies are obviously stubborn and are still betting. They firmly believe that if they sell now, they can sell it at a high price and have a chance to re-enter in the future. "
Pei Qian: "…"
He did not know whether to be happy or sad.
Hearing that there was no response from the other end of the line, Zhang Yuan probed, "Boss Pei, then … what about the bidding? We were selling six at first, but now we can only sell three. "
Pei Qian felt a little hopeless. "What do you think?"
He did not have any thoughts now. Since things had already come to this, he could just sell it however he wanted.
Or could it be that Zhang Yuan had other ideas?
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Boss Pei, I think the same as you."
Pei Qian: "?"
My opinion? What opinion do I have?
Zhang Yuan continued, "Did you expect that there would only be a small number of clubs left?
"There are more than ten companies bidding now, but there are only three slots left. These buyers will definitely raise the price crazily!
"After all, these companies are not short of money. What's more, people have the mentality of buying up and not buying down. The scarcer the slots are, the more intense they will be!
"Let's bid for three slots first. Then, we still have more GPL slots in our hands. In the next wave, we will release two or three more slots for them to fight for …
"This cycle will definitely maximize the profits of the GPL …"
Pei Qian's heart skipped a beat. "Absolutely not!"
Zhang Yuan: "?"
Just listening to Zhang Yuan's description, Pei Qian could already foresee his tragic future.
Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief. "How many GPL slots do we have left?"
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment. "Er, Boss Pei, didn't we originally plan to arrange for 12 to 16 teams? There are a total of ten veteran clubs in Jingzhou. Four of them are not for sale. Of the six that we planned to sell, three of them have retreated and are prepared to pay the penalty fee.
"Therefore, apart from the GPL slots of these three clubs, we still have two to six slots. You can decide how many to release."
Pei Qian immediately said, "Sell the remaining six slots! Don't leave a single one! "
If he really did as Zhang Yuan said and sold them one by one, he would definitely earn more and more.
Of course not!
These companies were already eyeing the GPL slots. Since he could not persuade them to leave now, he might as well sell them all at once while the price of the GPL slots was not very high.
He might be earning more now, but wouldn't he not be able to earn more in the future?
He had to choose the lesser of two evils. Since they were both profiting, he had to choose the less profitable plan.
Zhang Yuan was stunned. "Sell them all? It won't be easy to expand in the future, Boss Pei. "
"What's more, if we release so many slots at once, the price of each slot would definitely be lowered. It's not worth it."
The more teams there were in the league, the more intense the competition schedule would be. Sixteen teams meant that there might only be one or two days of rest a week. There would be competitions at other times.
For the current esports circle, this was something unimaginable.
Most games did not even have leagues. Even if they did, there might only be five or six teams fighting each other.
GPL, on the other hand, wanted to get 16 teams at once?
That was a little unnecessary, right?
Zhang Yuan felt that it would be best if there were 12 teams. In the future, there would be one more team every year. That would be the most profitable choice.
Pei Qian's attitude was firm. "Don't think about the future. Sell all the slots now!"
Zhang Yuan: "Then … what's the base price?"
Pei Qian thought for a moment. "There's no base price. We'll bid as much as we can."
Zhang Yuan was stunned. "Boss Pei, we have to extend the deadline, right? After all, we didn't say that we would sell the GPL slots. We have to give everyone a few days to prepare now that we're suddenly selling them, right? "
Pei Qian fell silent.
Plans could not keep up with changes.
He had not planned to sell the GPL slots at first, but the earlier he sold them, the higher the price would be. It would be best if he sold them at a low price before everyone realized how valuable they were.
That way, there would be fewer pitfalls in the future.
"I'll give everyone three days then. We'll start the auction in three days. The GOG teams of these three clubs and the remaining six GPL slots will be auctioned together!"
"We'll sell them as much as we want. We won't raise the price ourselves!"
