Investing three million yuan, but not changing the team name, management team, or even advertising. All he did was get some shares?
What was the difference between that and giving money away for free?
Wu Yue did not know what to say.
Zhang Yuan sat at the side and did not say anything. In fact, he did not know what Boss Pei was up to.
FV Club was a small club to begin with. It was not famous or had no results. Wouldn't it be better for Boss Pei to buy it for 1.5 million yuan even if he liked it? Why did he have to invest three million yuan without any control?
Wasn't that too generous?
Zhang Yuan was very confused as well, but this was not the first time Boss Pei had done such a shocking thing. Thus, he did not say anything.
Pei Qian's thinking was actually very simple. He wanted to lose!
He did not want to buy this club at all because it would be easy for problems to arise after he bought it.
Zhang Yuan was good at managing the club. What if the team took off on the spot after he bought it and changed the management team?
Thus, he would only invest without changing the team name, management team, or advertising space. He would only take some shares to minimize Tengda's impact on FV Club.
He could not possibly make any more money, right?
Wu Yue and Manager Lu looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
However, even though they were confused, how could they reject money that was delivered to their doorstep?
Wu Yue deliberated for a moment and said, "Boss Pei, I don't know what our FV Club has done to deserve such good conditions. We can't go overboard. We have to know the severity. How about this? Tengda will take 70% of the shares and we will take 30%. What do you think? "
"You can make any requests at any time in terms of operations. We can carry out comprehensive changes according to DGE's standards …"
Pei Qian shook his head and rejected decisively. "No, I only want 49% of the shares. What's more, the management rights of the club will always be in your hands. We will not interfere in any way. This has to be written in the contract."
Carry out comprehensive changes according to DGE Club's standards?
Stop fooling around. I've already suffered from this!
Now, all the GOG clubs were training their players according to DGE Club's methods. What's more, the training effects were not bad.
DGE was able to beat the other GOG clubs previously because of scientific, systematic, and healthy training methods.
At the moment, the management of the other IOI clubs was not formal. What if FV Club changed to the management and training model of DGE Club and took off again?
FV Club was doing well in Pei Qian's opinion now. He could not let DGE's culture spread over. Something big would happen if a few bottom-feeder players suddenly improved by leaps and bounds!
Thus, he had to ensure that the FV Club was the same. The management could not be changed. He could not even let Tengda affect the FV Club.
Wu Yue looked at Manager Lu, and the confusion in their eyes deepened.
They did not understand.
Boss Pei had thrown out such a good offer the moment he arrived. What's more, he refused to budge an inch and was determined not to take any more benefits. That was a little ridiculous.
Wu Yue had considered it repeatedly when he was talking about cooperation, but it was mostly because the conditions were not good enough that he hesitated. This time, it was different. He was hesitating because the conditions were too good.
After much consideration, Wu Yue could not find any reason not to accept this investment. However, it was difficult for him to accept only giving Boss Pei 49% of the shares.
Isn't this a little too insincere?
Wu Yue thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Boss Pei? You can take 70% of the shares, but we can agree in the contract that Tengda will not interfere with the daily operations of FV Club."
"You don't have to be so polite with me."
"To be honest, I actually planned to sell FV Club and stop working in E-Sports."
"However, since you're so generous, I have no reason to withdraw. I will continue to work hard and operate FV Club well!"
Pei Qian could not say anything more seeing how insistent Wu Yue was.
So what if I get more shares? These shares aren't worth much anyway.
"Alright, let's do that." Pei Qian nodded.
Standing at the side, Manager Lu felt that the scene in front of him was a little absurd.
Why did it feel like Boss Pei was unwilling to take twenty percent more shares?
Wu Yue heaved a sigh of relief. He did not know why he felt much more at ease after giving away 20% of his shares.
"However, Boss Pei, I have to say something about our FV Club's objective situation first. Our IOI branch might be able to participate in the qualifiers at the moment, but the team is not complete. It would be difficult for us to make it out of the qualifiers if we were to dig out new members. Therefore, you have to be mentally prepared … "
Pei Qian could not help but smile.
Very weak, impossible to break out of the encirclement?
That's a good thing!
I can't wait for FV Club to not have any popularity!
There's no need to be mentally prepared. As long as you behave yourself and don't cause trouble, there will definitely be no problems with my mentality.
Pei Qian smiled. "Boss Wu, it doesn't matter."
"You don't have to worry too much about the players. Let nature take its course. Use good players if you have them. If not, wait a little longer. "
"E-Sports is a competitive sport. There are always winners and losers. It doesn't matter if we win the qualifiers or not. We just have to show our style. "
"I might have invested, but I won't have any pressure in terms of results. You can rest assured."
Wu Yue was touched. "Alright, thank you, Boss Pei!"
…
The next morning, Pei Qian and Zhang Yuan took the high-speed rail back to Jingzhou.
The entire process of investing in FV Club was very swift and decisive. They took the high-speed rail the day before and had dinner together after discussing matters. After resting for a night, they left the next day.
As a result, the boss of FV Club, Wu Yue, felt like he was in a dream. It was very unreal.
In just two days, the bad thing had turned into a good thing.
At first, Wu Yue had been suppressed by Long Yu Corporation and a few veteran clubs. He did not want to play anymore. In the end, Boss Pei suddenly fell from the sky and gave him three million yuan for free. In an instant, FV Club became better again!
In the office, Wu Yue and Manager Lu began to think about how to spend the money.
"We can change to a new training base. The previous place was too crowded and the conditions were too poor. We can change to a more spacious place this time. The computers for training should be updated as well."
"Fortunately, Boss Pei came in a hurry and did not go to our training base to take a look. Otherwise, we would have been too embarrassed!"
"Improve everyone's meals as well!"
"The team members have persevered for so long. They have been receiving low salaries and using their love to generate electricity. It's time for them to get a raise."
Manager Lu took notes as Wu Yue spoke.
FV Club had always been a small club. They were financially strapped, so their material conditions were not satisfactory. Now that they had received such a huge sum of money, they could improve it.
Manager Lu recorded down the contents of improving the training conditions and said, "Boss Wu, there's still a lot of money left after deducting all of this money."
"I think the most important thing now is to buy some team members and replenish our team members. We have to have at least five people."
Wu Yue nodded. "Yes, that makes sense. Let's start digging for potential rookies during this period of time. "
Manager Lu was about to record it in his notebook when he stopped. After some consideration, he said, "Boss Wu, I suddenly have a bold idea."
"Can we directly poach some star players from other clubs?"
Wu Yue thought for a moment and frowned. "That's not easy, right?"
"Given our club's current state, we should indeed strengthen it. That's not a problem."
"However, the veteran clubs like SUG have already bought all the remaining better players. Their overall value has increased. If we buy them now, we will have to pay a huge sum of money for breach of contract. Wouldn't that be asking for a scam? "
"We might not feel the pinch if we spend money that's not our own, but we can't waste it like that."
"What's more, the amount of money we have is not a small amount, but it's not a lot either. We won't be able to buy them as long as the other clubs pay the penalty fee."
Manager Lu quickly shook his head. "Boss Wu, you've misunderstood. Of course, I'm not talking about buying from direct competitors like SUG!"
Wu Yue was confused. "Where should we buy them then?"
Manager Lu smiled. "Do you still remember why the IOI branches of the SUG clubs were dismantled? They were dismantled by the new GPL club! "
"In other words, those celebrity players are all in the hands of the GPL clubs. The GPL league is Boss Pei's league. Which of the bosses of these clubs wouldn't give Boss Pei some face? "
"Since that's the case, can we look for these clubs and hope that they will be more accommodating? We don't have to buy them at a low price. As long as they don't ask for too much, we can buy these celebrity players at market price and fight for the qualification for the international competition. That's not bad! "
Wu Yue's eyes lit up. "Eh? That makes sense! "
SHG had dismantled SUG, SUG had dismantled FV.
However, wouldn't it form a perfect closed loop if FV bought back the IOI players from SHG?
This was a perfect change of ownership!
The veteran clubs like SUG must have thought of buying IOI's outstanding players from GPL teams, but they did not in the end. It was not worth it to buy them back because they had to pay a high transfer fee.
What's more, these veteran clubs felt that the qualifiers had basically been decided internally anyway. There was no point in spending so much money to buy their own players back.
However, it would be completely different if FV Club bought them!
The GPL clubs, such as Shenhua, would definitely not give SUG any face. They would definitely ask for a huge transfer fee.
However, FV Club was invested and controlled by Boss Pei. These GPL teams could not possibly extort even Boss Pei, right?
He did not ask for anything else. He only wanted these GPL teams to sell the IOI players in their hands at normal market price.
FV Club did not have much money, but they only wanted to strengthen two positions. What's more, the value of IOI players could not be compared to GOG to begin with. There might be a chance if they communicated with them properly.
What if they managed to get out of the qualifiers and qualify for the IOI World Finals? Wouldn't that be very worth it?
The money that Boss Pei invested would not be wasted.
At that thought, Wu Yue suddenly perked up. He immediately stood up. "Book the tickets! We'll go to Jingzhou immediately! "
