Chapter 35: million in start-up capital obtained!
After dinner, Duan Yu left the Ye family and took a taxi to the Ye Group.

The Ye Group is also a well-known enterprise in Taipei City. They have several famous women's clothing brands, such as Urban Beauty and Ye Fashion. In addition, they also have diversified group companies involved in media, communications, network and investment, with a market value of at least 10 billion.

Duan Yu checked and found that the chairman of the Ye Group should be Ye Xiu's aunt Ye Tianqing, and Ye Qiu is currently the executive director of the group, mainly in charge of the media and investment sectors.

After a two-hour drive, I finally arrived at the Ye Group's building. I went to the front desk, reported my name, and was immediately taken to Ye Qiu's office.

"Mr. Ye is here, please go in." The receptionist smiled and walked out.

Duan Yu knocked on the door, and soon a crisp voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Duan Yu pushed the door open and immediately saw a young man who looked 80% similar to Ye Xiu sitting in front of the boss's desk in the office.

Just looking at his facial features, he looks exactly like Ye Xiu.

But if you look closely, this young man's face is slightly thinner than Ye Xiu's, and Ye Xiu is a little bloated.

And the temperament is different too.

Ye Xiu’s temperament is very easy-going, just like a loser.

But the young man in front of him exudes a sharp and decisive temperament.

This should be related to the fact that he has been in a high position for a long time. He became the executive director of the group at a young age, so naturally he developed such a temperament.

"Hello, Mr. Ye." Duan Yu took the initiative to greet him.

Seeing Duan Yu, Ye Qiu quickly stood up to greet him: "You are Duan Yu, right? No need to be so polite. Since you are Ye Xiu's friend, you are my friend. You can call me Old Ye or Brother Ye."

"Brother Ye, you're too polite." Duan Yu has lived two lives, so naturally he understands the ways of the world.

When asking someone to do something for you, you have to be sweet-mouthed.

"Haha, sit down." Ye Qiu led Duan Yu to sit down next to the coffee table, and then said while making tea:
"I heard from my dad that my stinky brother has been kicked out of the house now?"

Duan Yu nodded: "Yes, I have retired now."

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that he would have this day, hahahaha"

Ye Qiu felt somewhat gloating.

"But isn't 25 already old enough for an e-sports player? Why are you still trying to make a comeback after retiring?"

Duan Yu said: "Brother Ye is in good shape, and he should have no problem playing for another two or three years."

Ye Qiu said, "He has been competitive since he was young. From what I see, he is mainly angry and wants to prove himself to others."

"Maybe." Duan Yu didn't know what Ye Qiu was thinking. Maybe he was unwilling to admit defeat.

But from what Ye Qiu said, "I won't get tired of playing Honor of Kings even if I play it for another ten years," it can be seen that Ye Qiu really loves the game Honor of Kings.

He will never play any other games in his life.

"How much money do you need to set up a team?" Ye Qiu asked at this time.

"If it's just a simple operation, 20 million should be enough. But if you want to challenge for the championship, it will probably take more than 40 to 50 million."

Duan Yu has already calculated that it costs 500 million to register a team. With Chen Guo providing the place, they only need to rent a dormitory, and one or two million for decoration. Another one or two million for equipment is also enough. The rest is renting a stadium for playing games, which is quite expensive and costs at least several million a year.

As for the players' salaries and so on, 20 million will probably require tightening one's belt to spend.

This is the basic expense of setting up a team. If they want to win the championship, the first thing they have to do is to buy Wei Chen's skill point strategy directly. This will cost at least several million to 10 million.

In the original novel, the Xingxin team used the skill point strategy, but that was counted as Wei Chen's investment in the Xingxin team, and for the sake of money, Wei Chen sold the skill point strategy to Samsara for 2000 million. This behavior was indeed because Xingxin had no money and could not afford the skill point strategy.

But part of the 2000 million was used by Wei Chen to join the Happy Team and was exchanged for materials. But Wei Chen also earned more than million, but half of it was actually given to Luo Ji, but Luo Ji didn't want the money, so Wei Chen earned it.

Now that he has been reborn, Wei Chen's skill point strategy must not be leaked out. It can only be digested within the Happy Team, secretly.

If we negotiate the price properly and give Wei Chen 10 million, he will definitely die of laughter.

In addition to skill points, money is needed to poach Guan Rongfei, the technical expert of the Excellent Era team, and then purchase a large amount of materials to upgrade and build Xingxin's equipment.

This is the bulk of the team's expenses!
Therefore, 2000 million is used to establish the team, and 3000 million is used to improve the team. It is estimated that the money is still not enough, but there is no other way. We can only use it sparingly, and figure out other things ourselves.

He asked for 50 million right away, and Ye Qiu frowned slightly.

Fifty million, half a hundred million!
Even for their Ye Group, such an investment is a big project.

"Fifty million is not a small amount. What benefit can I get from it? I can't just embezzle public funds just because he's my brother, right? As businessmen, we mainly look at the payback period and benefits."

Duan Yu had already thought of a plan, so he said: "Of course we can't let you invest in vain. If you can invest, we can give you 50% of the shares, and then the other three shareholders will share 50%."

"Why are there four shareholders?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised. He thought there were only two equity interests.

"You will invest capital, accounting for 50% of the shares, Brother Ye and I will invest technology, 15% each, and our current boss will provide the site and management, and invest real estate assets, accounting for 20% of the shares." Duan Yu explained.

"Is that so?" Ye Qiu nodded. As an investor, it was enough for him to get 50% of the shares. As for how they distributed the rest, that was Party A's business.

So he is not very concerned about the distribution of these shares, but the return of benefits.

"After establishing a professional team, what will you use to guarantee my income and returns?" Ye Qiu asked.

"We have discovered several talented young people. Give us a year and we should be able to challenge for the championship and become the favorite to win. As long as our team can become the favorite to win, sponsorship and investment will continue to flow in, and then you can sit back and collect the money." Duan Yu said.

Ye Qiu smiled: "Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Although my brother has good e-sports talent, he is so old after all. It will be difficult for an old guy to lead a group of newcomers to challenge the championship!"

Duan Yu was prepared for this: "We can sign a guarantee agreement. If we fail to win the championship within three years, all the team's assets will belong to you personally, and your investment will not be at a loss. What do you think?"

Ye Qiu nodded with satisfaction: "Guaranteed principal and interest, I like this kind of deal."

If the team they formed really couldn't win the championship, they could take over their brother Ye Xiu's team, and then they could mock Ye Xiu. This deal was worth investing in just thinking about it!
"Then I will allocate 1000 million to you first. You go back and register the team first, then draft a contract and send it to me. After the contract is approved, you bring the contract here and I will allocate the remaining balance to you. If 5000 million is not enough, you can use your own shares to raise funds at that time." Ye Qiu said.

Duan Yu was immediately grateful: "Thank you so much."

"Don't be so polite. When I'm free in a while, I will come to your team for an on-site inspection. I hope you won't let me down." Ye Qiu planned to go and play with his stinky brother during New Year's Day.

"Don't worry, we guarantee your satisfaction."

The two sat in the office and chatted about Ye Xiu. Ye Qiu complained about Ye Xiu's childhood experiences and also inquired about Ye Xiu's recent embarrassing experiences.

After chatting for a while, Ye Qiu treated Duan Yu to a midnight snack, arranged accommodation for him, and booked a return flight for tomorrow before leaving.

The next day, Duan Yu boarded the return flight and returned to Hangzhou.

After returning to Hangzhou, Duan Yu immediately gathered Ye Xiu and Chen Guo together to discuss team matters. He had to register for the Happy Team before Yizhan Tianxia.
