February 18th, Saturday …
Shanghai, FV E-Sports Club.
The team members had just woken up in the morning.
After eating Fish-Catching Take-Out, they began their high-end RANK solo training. According to the schedule, there would be mock competitions in the afternoon and evening.
It had been almost a month since they won the IOI International Finals. During this period, the fate of FV E-Sports Club had changed.
First, Boss Pei had forced everyone to return to the United States for a seven-day tour to relax.
During this period, Wu Yue had also brought his team members to visit a few veteran clubs in the United States to exchange, visit, and learn.
However, it did not seem to have a good effect. Many players were a little disappointed because these clubs did not seem to be as formal and prestigious as the GPL clubs.
However, it was not bad as a small interlude on the journey.
After returning to China, Wu Yue had been busy with various commercial endorsements, including sponsorships for digital products, beverages, peripherals manufacturers, and investment intentions of some investors.
FV Club had also turned from an unknown small club to a popular club. Its valuation had increased explosively.
Wu Yue still had a small portion of FV Club shares in his hands. He had earned a lot this time.
At first, Wu Yue had only set up FV Club for fun. It was purely burning money. He had not expected to get anything out of E-Sports.
However, he had not expected everything to change because of the day Boss Pei came to Shanghai a few months ago.
Wu Yue did not complain at all even though he had given most of the club's shares to Boss Pei. That was because if he continued to hold the club in his hands, he would definitely not be able to bring the club to its current height with his own strength!
What's more, Wu Yue had not only obtained wealth but also fame. He had realized his dream of playing E-Sports and allowed his team members to win the championship in the international competition. To him, it was already a dream that he could wake up from.
Of course, Wu Yue knew that Boss Pei would definitely earn more as the major shareholder of FV Club.
However, Wu Yue would not be jealous at all. That was because this achievement was a piece of cake for Boss Pei given his abilities. There was no difficulty at all.
This bit of income was definitely nothing compared to the income of Boss Pei's other businesses, right? Boss Pei would not care about such a small sum of money.
After the club received a large sum of sponsorship and made money, Wu Yue also changed the club's training base so that Team One and Team Two could have a better living and training environment.
He specially chose a villa with Fish-Catching Take-Out and Deposit Fitness nearby. He considered all the conditions and tried his best to get closer to Boss Pei. After all, the GPL situation had proven that this was the best training model.
What's more, Tengda Corporation's industry had been expanding to Beijing and Shanghai recently. Fish-Catching Take-Out, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, and Deposit Fitness had all been opened, making Wuyue's location much easier.
Ever since FV Team won the championship, there had been an endless stream of teams coming to FV Team to play mock competitions.
That was because FV Team represented the highest standard of the entire IOI. They were top-notch in terms of tactics and individual strength. It would be the most helpful to train with such a team.
What's more, it was not just FV Team One. FV Team Two and even Ding Gan's SUG Team were basically full for mock competitions.
FV Team One's mock competitions were too difficult to arrange. There were only two or three matches a day. Thus, many clubs turned their attention to FV Team Two and SUG.
These two teams were the sparring partners of FV Team One during the international competition. Their strength was definitely not to be underestimated!
They must have grasped some of the tactical details of FV Team One. Their various playstyles would definitely be closer to FV Team One. In addition, their individual strength was not bad. Training with them would have a very good effect.
Many people even felt that the true strength of SUG Team and FV Team Two might be stronger than the runner-up team in IOI's global finals.
Wu Yue did not reject them. FV Club still had to mix in IOI's E-Sports circle after all. They could not completely seal themselves off and not communicate with the outside world.
The global finals had ended. The entire game version would definitely undergo a huge change. The tactics that FV Team had mastered would most likely be eliminated in the next version.
Thus, there was no need to keep it to themselves and seal themselves off.
In fact, Wu Yue had not thought about the future development of FV Club.
Boss Pei had not called him at all ever since he returned from winning the championship.
Wu Yue did not know what Boss Pei's true attitude was.
The management of the club had also held a meeting regarding this.
Manager Lu felt that Boss Pei's GOG and IOI were direct competitors. What's more, FV Club had stepped on Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's faces to win the international competition this time. They would probably be made to suffer in the future.
Since that was the case, they might as well rebel. The entire club would just jump ship and play GOG!
The world champion team had just obtained the trophy and they were going to play other projects collectively. How would Finger Games continue to hang on then?
However, Wu Yue felt that it was very inappropriate to do so.
Firstly, FV Club had a relationship of interest with Tengda. Just like DGE, they could not participate in GOG's official competitions in principle unless they removed all of Boss Pei's shares. That was obviously not appropriate;
Secondly, FV Club had just accepted many sponsorships and endorsements, including the live-stream contracts of the team members. These money were all earned as the 'IOI Global Finals Champion'. It was not good to pick up the bowl to eat and put down the chopsticks to curse;
Thirdly, the members of FV Club obviously preferred IOI. It would be very irresponsible for them to go back and play GOG, at least at this stage.
Thus, Wu Yue decided to put this problem aside for now and maintain the status quo while waiting for Boss Pei's further instructions.
Wu Yue was looking at the training of his team members when his phone suddenly rang.
Wu Yue could not help but be stunned when he saw the caller ID.
It was Long Yu Corporation's Zhao Xuming!
Wu Yue had not spoken to Zhao Xuming on the phone for a long time. This was the first time since FV Team won the championship. He did not know Zhao Xuming's intentions but FV Team could not avoid dealing with Long Yu Corporation if they wanted to continue in IOI's E-Sports circle. Thus, Wu Yue immediately picked up the phone.
Zhao Xuming's very kind voice came from the other end of the line. "Boss Wu, how have you been? Has our champion team had any problems with their daily training recently? "
Zhao Xuming took the initiative to express his goodwill. Wu Yue naturally did not need to take the previous discord to heart. He smiled and said, "Thanks to Boss Zhao, everything is fine in the club."
Zhao Xuming chuckled and said, "That's good."
"I heard that FV's two teams have been playing mock competitions with the other clubs in the country? What's more, the training effects are not bad? "
"Boss Wu never forgets the people who dug the well when you drink water. Even after winning the world championship, he didn't forget to bring his former brothers to improve together. I really admire his mentality. Boss Wu can be said to be an outstanding representative of the domestic E-Sports people! "
Wu Yue smiled. "Boss Zhao, you must be joking. This is our duty."
Both parties exchanged a few pleasantries and did not mention the unpleasantness from before. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Zhao Xuming obviously felt that the pleasantries were enough. He changed the topic. "Boss Wu, I called today mainly because of two things. The first thing is that Finger Games is already preparing to arrange a champion skin for your team. "
"It's the champion of the first global finals after all. The skin has to be outstanding enough! We've also communicated with Finger Games and asked them to make more Chinese elements to cater to the local players! "
"The designers of Finger Games have already rushed over from the United States, so find a time to bring five main players to me. Communicate with the designers and give them some suggestions on the design of the champion skin."
"The second thing is about the IOI Professional League. The current professional league in the country was named ICL, IOI.
League was also the IOI Champions League! I specially requested for this name from Finger Games because FV Team is the world champion team. That's because the competition zone they are in has to be called the championship competition zone! "
"Regarding this ICL slot … Of course, one slot is directly given to FV Team. We have also prepared a slot for FV Team Two in the First League."
"At present, the league is being actively prepared. When the time comes, a lot of publicity activities will be carried out. I hope that Boss Wu can fully support and cooperate."
Wu Yue could not help but sigh inwardly. This Zhao Xuming was like a completely different person. Previously, he had been cold and indifferent to her, but now, he had become incomparably amiable, even closer than a real brother.
Of course, Wu Yue knew that this was human nature. The fact that Zhao Xuming could put down his pride and reconcile with FV Club showed that Zhao Xuming was a mature leader who knew not to let his own likes and dislikes affect the normal workflow.
There was still a hint of reluctance in Zhao Xuming's words but he had already done enough.
Of course, Wu Yue understood this reluctance very well.
In the eyes of Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation, FV Club was an uncontrollable club. There was a natural conflict of interest. However, they had won the first global finals. Both parties had to cooperate.
Rather than bashfully and awkwardly cooperating, it was better to cooperate openly and openly.
After all, Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation also needed FV Club's influence in the country to help them further promote IOI's local server.
Since everyone was an adult, there were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. They would ease the relationship if they could. There was no need to make things awkward.
Wu Yue immediately agreed. "Alright, Boss Zhao, no problem. These are all within our club's duties. We will definitely cooperate. "
Zhao Xuming was very happy. "Thank you, Boss Wu! There were some unpleasantness between us previously. I hope that Boss Wu will be magnanimous and not take it to heart. "
Wu Yue immediately went along with the flow. "Boss Zhao, you're too serious. It's just a small conflict. Let bygones be bygones."
The two of them ended the call in a harmonious atmosphere.
However, the smile on Wu Yue's face immediately disappeared the moment he hung up. Then, he dialed Boss Pei's number.
He had to report this to Boss Pei as soon as possible!
Zhao Xuming's intention to rope him in was obvious. This was definitely not his own decision. The upper echelons of Long Yu Corporation and Finger Games must have instructed him to do so.
Should he reject this kind of enticement or accept it completely?
Wu Yue felt that this might affect Boss Pei's overall plan. He had to call to confirm Boss Pei's true attitude.
