Zhao Xuming did not dare to delay any longer after leaving the conference room. He immediately arranged for his subordinates to do something. The three aspects of work were carried out simultaneously.
The various clubs had to contact them to cooperate. Finger Games might be paying but the specific improvement of the food and accommodation environment, the treatment of the players, the standard contract, and so on still had to be implemented by the various clubs.
This sum of money was not small and could not be spent in vain. He had to immediately arrange for people to publicize it. He had to say that the treatment of ICL was definitely the best in the industry and did not lose to GPL at all. In fact, it was even better in some places. He had to resolve the current public opinion storm as soon as possible and leave a good impression on passers-by.
In addition, he had to take this opportunity to continue promoting ICL and expanding the popularity of the league.
Although Eric often criticized Zhao Xuming's work after taking over Chrétien's position, Zhao Xuming did not feel too repulsed by Eric.
It was mainly because Eric was a man of his word even though he was in charge of many things.
Dayak Corporation and Finger Games had given Eric very high authority to use a large sum of money. Take this matter for example. Eric could solve a problem that Zhao Xuming could not solve.
More importantly, Eric would definitely be the one to take the blame. Zhao Xuming would be safe.
Chrétien had been fired previously, but Zhao Xuming could continue to be the person-in-charge of IOI's business cooperation department because he was good at shifting the blame.
It was not bad news for Eric now that he was in charge of various matters and Zhao Xuming was his assistant.
If something really happened, Zhao Xuming would be able to clear his name immediately. Whether IOI's local server succeeded or not would not affect his position in Long Yu Corporation.
These three aspects of work were quite important. However, after careful consideration, Zhao Xuming felt that the first thing was the most important. Thus, he decided to communicate with these clubs personally.
Although Finger Games was paying for it, there were some details that would affect the club's interests.
For example, the standard contract of the players.
Back then, SUG Club had fallen out with Tengda because of this matter. It had directly caused them to be removed from the GPL by Boss Pei and become the chicken that was used to make an example of others.
If not for this small episode, the standard contract would probably have been stirred up for a while.
On the other hand, the standard contract that Boss Pei requested was limited to the GPL. It would definitely not affect the contracts of other E-Sports projects. At the moment, IOI's players were still using the old contract.
Would it cause them to resist now that Finger Games asked all the clubs in IOI to change to standard contracts?
These clubs were partners of the ICL league after all. Their attitude had to be in place and could not be neglected.
Therefore, after some consideration, Zhao Xuming decided that it would be safer for him to do it himself.
What's more, once the money was in his account, how to spend it was also a problem. If these clubs took the money but secretly embezzled it and used it for other things, wouldn't Finger Games lose money and be embarrassed?
Of course, it had to be earmarked, and it had to be supervised.
Many details needed to be discussed in detail before a final decision could be made.
However, there was good news. After the previous storm, the standard contract had been accepted by many clubs. If ICL were to promote the standard contract again, there should be much less resistance.
Zhao Xuming pondered for a while and called FV Club's manager, Wu Yue. He briefly explained the matter and hoped that Wu Yue would cooperate.
On the other end of the line, Wu Yue smiled. "Boss Zhao, there's no need. Our club has already implemented what you said!"
"That's because our club's standards were originally based on GPL standards. Whether it's food, accommodation, training, or fitness conditions, they are all very okay. In addition, our players' contracts have long been changed to standard contracts. There's no need to worry about that. "
Zhao Xuming was stunned when he heard that.
It had already been implemented?
He knew that Boss Pei was quite good to FV Club, but he did not expect him to be this good.
That was because the members of FV Club had already won the championship. There was a championship bonus of more than two million US dollars. Even if the five of them split it equally, it would still be a huge sum of money.
With so much money, who would care about food, accommodation, fitness conditions, and standard contracts?
The team members would not have any complaints even if Boss Pei did not do anything in this regard.
However, he did not expect Boss Pei to be so picky about the details. There were no loopholes at all.
Zhao Xuming heaved a sigh of relief at first, feeling that he could save some money. However, on further thought, something was amiss!
His tone immediately became tough. "Boss Wu, we have to pay for this!"
Wu Yue was stunned. "Huh? There's no need for that, right? "
He could not help but wonder why they were fighting to pay for this.
Did everyone have too much money to burn?
Zhao Xuming obviously did not have too much money to burn. He had thought of a very crucial problem.
If all the ICL clubs implemented this standard and Finger Games paid for them while Boss Pei paid for FV Club, wouldn't that leave Boss Pei with something to use against them?
FV Club was a club in the ICL league after all. Since Finger Games had decided to fork out money to subsidize them, they had to treat them equally. How could they treat them differently?
If news of this got out, everyone would think that Finger Games was stingy and saved two to three million yuan. It would be another crisis of public opinion.
Wu Yue could not help but rejoice at that thought.
It was another trap left behind by Boss Pei. I almost stepped into it. Luckily, I was smart!
Wu Yue did not understand why Zhao Xuming was so determined. However, he had no reason to reject Zhao Xuming since he was willing to pay for this portion of the money.
FV Club had been taking benefits from Boss Pei after all. They were a little embarrassed. Now that there was a chance to save Boss Pei some money, why not?
Thus, Wu Yue agreed immediately.
Zhao Xuming asked again, "By the way, Boss Wu, can you briefly organize the specific food and accommodation standards, training standards, fitness standards, and the like and send them to me? If it's not convenient for me to see the standard contract, you can briefly explain the main points. That way, we can arrange it according to this standard. "
The ICL league did not intend to completely copy the GPL but they had to at least understand it.
That was because these two leagues were directly related. They had to ensure that these conditions were close. If the gap was too big, it would be equivalent to working for nothing.
Wu Yue agreed very straightforwardly. "No problem. I'll organize the general situation and send it to you."
Apart from the standard contract, the other contents were not confidential. It was nothing more than Fish-Catching Take-Out, Deposit Fitness, accommodation standards, training computer configuration, and so on.
Even if Wu Yue did not say anything, Zhao Xuming had many other channels to understand it. It would not take much effort. Thus, Wu Yue did not hide it. He openly organized the content and sent it to Zhao Xuming.
Zhao Xuming waited patiently for more than ten minutes before receiving a form from Wu Yue.
The content of the form was very simple. It was nothing more than the relevant standards of the club. For example, their meals were special training meals ordered from Fish-Catching Take-Out, there were fitness missions in Deposit Fitness every day, the computer used for training was ROF, and so on.
Zhao Xuming could not help but gasp when he saw the form.
This was really high standards!
Of course, high standards and spending a lot of money were secondary. The most important problem was that these were all Tengda's own businesses!
Even the computers used for training were Tengda's own computer-installation business, not to mention take-out and the gym.
Wouldn't they have to order Fish-Catching Take-Out and go to Deposit Fitness if ICL implemented similar standards?
Wasn't that nonsense?!
Boss Pei's promotional video had already caused Finger Games to spend twenty to thirty million yuan. Yet, they still had to spend this money on Boss Pei's businesses? Boss Pei would earn it again?
Preposterous!
This was not a matter of money. There was indeed not much money. The main reason was that it was difficult to accept emotionally.
Not to mention Eric, Zhao Xuming himself was furious just thinking about it.
All in all, he could not afford to suffer a double loss! He could let anyone earn this money, but he could not let Boss Pei earn it!
Fortunately, there were alternatives. In terms of food, he could ask the various clubs to spend money to hire a cook. In terms of sports, he could go to other gyms to apply for a fitness card and private lessons. The computer was even simpler. He could just buy an expensive and high-end brand.
Zhao Xuming found other alternatives based on the market prices of the various standards on the list.
It might be very expensive and heart-wrenching, but these were necessary expenses after all.
What's more, it was fine as long as he did not pay out of his own pocket.
After tidying up, Zhao Xuming called SUG and the other ICL clubs one by one to communicate.
While individual clubs showed some resistance to the standard contract, Finger Games was very sincere this time after all. They had paid to help them improve their training environment. Considering that the ICL league quota was up to Finger Games, these clubs did not dare to say anything and agreed one after another.
Zhao Xuming sent his plan to the managers of the various clubs and told them to arrange according to this standard.
There were very clear standards for hiring a cook, applying for a fitness card, buying a training computer, providing a basic salary for all players, paying for five insurances and one fund, and so on.
The entire process had to be very standard and clear even though Finger Games would pay for it to prevent the possibility of these clubs pocketing their own money.
As for FV Club, they ate Fish-Catching Take-Out and used Deposit Fitness well. It seemed a little unreasonable to forcefully change it.
Thus, FV Club was the only exception in the entire ICL league. They continued to maintain the current conditions. However, the money that was originally paid by Tengda would be paid by Finger Games.
Zhao Xuming finally heaved a sigh of relief after making all the arrangements.
That way, all the loopholes would be blocked!
ICL's publicity work could finally get back on track.
