Chapter 147 Han Yong: How did the association become like this!
World Electronic Sports Association, China Chapter.
Ever since Vice President Han Yong also served as the chairman of the Honor Professional League, the E-Sports Association has actually almost shared offices with the Honor League.
Therefore, the staff of the E-Sports Association, like the old employees of Honor, were also panicked by Tencent Hai’s all-out offensive.
congratulations.
Their own league has been unable to reopen, while other people's leagues are thriving day by day, with news of players getting ahead every day. The rest, according to rumors, also have their own ulterior motives and little thoughts.
The only consolation is probably that I have a lot of free time during this period, and I can take my time off as ordered.
The old employees at Honor are more calm, after all, they have been living in similar situations for a long time.
Their only regret was that they did not seize the opportunity to follow the great Chairman Feng.
Look at those who followed Chairman Feng on the road to success at that time. All of them are now successful in Tencent Esports.
And what about them?
The association faction is in a difficult situation.
In the past, relying on the transcendent status of glory in the field of e-sports, they have always been able to act arrogantly.
Where have you ever suffered such injustice?
But now?
He had nothing to do all day and his prestige in the industry plummeted.
Sometimes when I go to work to connect with the clubs below, I can’t hide the doubt and contempt in their eyes!
In an age of great contention, inaction is the greatest sin.
So, President Han, let’s think of a solution!
Although Han Yong is the deputy president, the principal is so thorough in his position that he is just a figurehead and does nothing.
Normally, unless an order comes down from headquarters, Han Yong’s words are the most effective.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Han Yong coming towards the door in a hurry. His face was stern. Without taking a rest, he patted the table and said, "Let's have a meeting."
Everyone's spirits lifted slightly.
After all his confidants came to the meeting room and sat down, Han Yong nodded slightly, his face heavy:
"Unfortunately, we have to inform you that we are facing a very serious situation now."
This opening remark stunned everyone.
In the past, in order to stabilize the morale of the troops, Han Yong always had a smile on his face and looked very happy every time he attended a meeting.
The opening remarks are always "how much the revenue has grown" or "how much the development of the new version has advanced". In short, they only report good news and not bad news.
But today, it is such a heavy attitude...
Is it really possible that life is really unbearable?
Han Yong looked extremely distressed.
"According to reliable sources, over the past month or so, a number of overseas gambling forces have attempted to infiltrate China's e-sports sector through Internet platforms."
There was a small commotion in the audience.
Although the second generation at the top are well aware of the inside story, the middle and senior level cadres are unaware of it and only think that spinach is the enemy of all competitive sports.
Now when I heard Han Yong suddenly mention these things, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This gambling platform, does it have anything to do with us?
As expected, Han Yong announced with a heavy face, "After investigation by the higher-ups, this incident...is closely related to the General Association."
“It can even be said that the president of the General Conference, Bobby Cordick, played a role in fueling this incident.”
Now this small commotion is about to turn into a big commotion.
One of the executives immediately slammed the table and said, "What are the bastards in the headquarters thinking? How can you touch gambling in a competitive game?"
"How can we live as human beings in the future if they act so recklessly?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's emotions were immediately aroused.
The sentiment is exciting.
This is China after all, and the E-sports Association is even considered a semi-official organization in China. Many people present have official positions.
Now that they are suddenly involved with illegal overseas organizations, they are immediately anxious.
This is a big matter that concerns your future!
Han Yong was in no hurry to speak. He waited until everyone's curse words were already flying around before he spoke calmly:
"Don't worry, our Chinese branch had no involvement in this matter at all."
"At least this time, we won't be implicated."
“They got away with it this time, but what about next time?” Another executive slammed the table and said righteously: “By doing this, they are destroying the overall image of the World Electronic Sports Association!”
"We can't let this go on!"
Han Yong sighed with some embarrassment: "That's what I said, but we are just a branch after all. We can't control the affairs of the headquarters..."
“All we can do is do our job well.”
Speaking of work, he forced a smile on his face: "Okay, let's not talk about this."
"Recently, Star Journey has sold some of the rights to host the event."
"I went to talk to them and got the right to host the Huaxia District Tour Open."
"Now everyone finally has something to do."
This is undoubtedly another bombshell.
One of the subordinates asked cautiously, "President Han, hasn't this Storm Studio... been invested in by Tenghai?"
"Will Tenghai agree to hand over the hosting rights to us?"
Several good supporting actors successfully led Han Yong to the main point of today's topic. He immediately looked conflicted. After a long time, he lowered his voice and said:
"Just keep the following words to yourself!"
Everyone was excited and nodded like chicks pecking at rice. Everyone loved to hear the inside story.
Han Yong looked around and then carefully said, "Actually, Tenghai doesn't really care about the opposition with us."
"For them, the most important thing at the moment is to build up the e-sports industry, make it bigger and stronger, and open up the market."
"However, Tenghai Esports is still a start-up and has limited energy. While operating LPL, we also have to prepare for the establishment of a league in the Teamfight Tactics mode."
"So Tenghai actually agreed to our hosting of the Star Journey Tour."
I can only say that Han Yong's words are indeed of some level.
It was clearly the initial funding that Pei Yunteng had directly thrown at him, but he managed to make a fuss about it in just a few words.
Not only did they take a large share of the credit for themselves, they also praised Tenghai without making a fuss, portraying them as open-minded industry pioneers.
Comparing it with the headquarters that almost implicated the Chinese branch before, the difference is obvious.
Many people who originally hated Teng Hai to the core because of the miserable days during this period of time, now have some self-reflection:
Could it be that we are really judging others by our own standards?
Han Yong was secretly delighted when he saw the crowd of people below in deep thought, but his face remained serious:
"All in all, this is a rare opportunity for us!"
"In the model of the Tour Open, we can also make use of some of the resources we used to host the Glory League, such as the venues."
"We must organize this league well enough to wash away the adverse effects that the association has brought to us this time."
“So, everyone, come on!”
The perfect amount of chicken soup successfully ignited the long-lost work enthusiasm of these guys who were almost panicking due to their idleness:
"understand!"
The third update. I’m still having a serious writer’s block today.
That might be it.
