Chapter 61 E-sports, Chinese Standard! (End!)
Han Yong left in a rage.
Before leaving, he gritted his teeth and left a few harsh words like "Don't regret it!" and "Just wait to be rejected by mainstream society!"
Pei Yunteng almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
From the very beginning, Pei Yunteng had no intention of giving up the rights to host the league.
In particular, it is impossible to sell it to the organizer of the Glory League.
The fact that the Glory League has turned out to be such a mess is certainly due to the inaction of the developers.
But the organizer, the World Electronic Sports Association, is also to blame.
They clearly have the ability to rent a home stadium through contacts, but they turned a good league into this.
What is the use of such an association?
But if this is the case, the subsequent resistance will be much greater... Pei Yunteng pinched his eyebrows helplessly.
To be honest, given Tenghai's size, it is probably not afraid of a kid of this level.
But Pei Yunteng's rise has been limited after all, and his foundation is still somewhat lacking.
It is quite difficult to handle it well.
But at this moment, his phone rang again.
"That fool still hasn't given up?" Pei Yunteng was stunned and picked up the phone.
Then, his expression changed again.
This was the first time in the past six months that Pei Yunteng had lost his composure from the bottom of his heart.
He held the receiver tightly, his voice trembling slightly, revealing his inner excitement: "Please tell Yun Teng to come over immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Pei Yunteng strode towards the locker room in the office.
He wanted to change into something formal enough.
……
"What? Resigned?" At the S City branch of the Glory Professional League, Han Yong had completely lost the reserved demeanor he had at Tenghai and was furious.
"...Yes, because the disturbance this time was too big, in order to calm the public anger, Chairman Feng took the lead and resigned, and other leaders also..."
The scapegoat, who was forced to stay and take the blame because his level was too low and he failed to get Pei Yunteng's offer, replied tremblingly.
"Then what? Where did all those people go?" Han Yong acted like a complete dandy at this moment.
"...It seems that he was recruited by President Pei of Tenghai to the newly established Tenghai Athletics..."
"Bang!" Han Yong was so angry that he accidentally broke a porcelain cup.
"Pei Yunteng! What a great Pei Yunteng!" he muttered to himself with gritted teeth.
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll have to drink the wine for you, right?"
He picked up the cell phone from his pocket and made a call.
……
Pei Yunteng stopped in front of an imposing door, took a deep breath, confirmed again that there was no problem with his appearance, and finally knocked on the door gently.
The door opened and a young man with a reserved demeanor received him and ushered him into the room.
There, the two bosses had been waiting for a long time.
"You must be Mr. Pei from Tenghai Group. I've heard a lot about you." One of the elders smiled kindly and stood up to greet him.
"I'm from the Huaxia Sports Bureau, my last name is Zhang."
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, you can just call me Xiao Pei!" Pei Yunteng didn't dare to let this man greet him, and hurried forward to help him sit down.
There was another serious middle-aged man in the room. Mr. Zhang did not introduce him, so Pei Yunteng naturally did not dare to ask.
Several people sat down, and Mr. Zhang's tone was gentle but a little thoughtful:
"Xiao Pei, I invited you here this time to ask you, an expert, what you think about the emerging field of e-sports."
coming!
Pei Yunteng was refreshed, and he quickly organized his words in his mind before he slowly spoke:
“I don’t deserve Mr. Zhang’s advice, but we at Tenghai do have some experience in exploring the field of e-sports.”
"Mr. Zhang, what I'm going to say next might be a bit direct."
"Just say it!" Old Zhang showed his domineering attitude.
Pei Yunteng took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"I think that the current e-sports system in the country and even the world has deviated from the biggest core advantage of e-sports!"
“That’s better fairness and a lower threshold than competitive sports!”
Zhang Lao's eyes lit up: "Tell me in detail!"
Pei Yunteng simply organized his words: "Traditional competitive sports are limited by rules, which means that people with certain physical talents are destined to have more advantages."
"For example, in basketball, athletes with tall height and long arms have a natural advantage over those with shorter stature."
"But e-sports is different. In theory, all participants can use the same character and the same stats."
"The only thing that determines victory or defeat is the technical and tactical level!"
"Moreover, compared with competitive sports that require venues, e-sports can be more down-to-earth."
"You can play a game anytime, anywhere, as long as you have a mobile phone and a computer. This is the charm of e-sports!"
Mr. Zhang clapped his hands suddenly and said, "Well said! That's how it should be, fair, just and down-to-earth, that's great!"
But then he frowned: "So in your opinion, the current e-sports system has deviated from these advantages?"
Pei Yunteng did not answer directly, but took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over: "Please take a look."
When Mr. Zhang took it and looked at it, his face immediately turned dark.
The document contains statistics compiled by Pei Yunteng on the spending of professional teams in recent years in terms of accounts, silver weapons, online game guilds, etc.
To make it more intuitive, he also marked each team's expenses and final results of the season.
Although Mr. Zhang knew that the Glory League had problems in this regard, he remained silent when he actually saw the data.
Over the years, the top clubs have all spent tens of millions on their accounts.
For those clubs with limited funds, it would be a blessing if they could avoid the relegation match.
"Shocking, shocking..." Old Zhang kept shaking his head.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Pei Yunteng with admiration: "So, you Tenghai set up this new league just to reform this unhealthy trend?"
"I don't deserve it, but this is indeed the original intention of Tenghai Group to enter the field of e-sports." Pei Yunteng's humble tone implied his own spirit.
"Good!" Old Zhang nodded approvingly. "You young people have ideas and drive, which is a good thing!"
"Go for it boldly. If you have any difficulties, the General Administration of Athletics can help you!"
Pei Yunteng's mind moved, and he spoke tentatively:
"Mr. Zhang, to be honest, not long ago, someone from the World Electronic Sports Association came to our company and asked for cooperation."
When Mr. Zhang heard the words “World Electronic Sports Association”, he began to frown: “Why did they come to you?”
"...They want to take away the rights to host the League of Legends League!" Pei Yunteng's tone was a little indignant.
"Nonsense!" Old Zhang shouted angrily, but suddenly he thought of something and quickly calmed down. There was a hint of ridicule in his eyes when he looked at Pei Yunteng.
"Boy, are you here to ask for help?"
Pei Yunteng's thoughts were exposed, but he was not embarrassed. He answered the question objectively: "Mr. Zhang, I do feel a little guilty because I don't know their background."
"The World Electronic Sports Association..." Mr. Zhang recalled for a moment and smiled, "It's okay to tell you."
"Back then, we aligned ourselves with international standards and joined a large number of international associations."
“The E-sports Association is one of them.”
"But you also know that in those years, the domestic reputation of electronic games was very bad, so e-sports naturally failed to develop."
"The e-sports association has gradually changed its nature."
"If there are any uneducated and idle youngsters, I'm afraid they will cause harm to others if they are released into society, so I'll just stuff them here and let them mess around."
Pei Yunteng was speechless after hearing this. No wonder it was so rotten.
It seems like this is just a social trash can, filled with vermin?
There is no way e-sports can be good.
but……
Suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Zhang, if that's the case, have you ever thought about starting over and establishing Chinese standards in the field of e-sports?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Mr. Zhang, but also the middle-aged man who had been silent, immediately lit up his eyes.
It is hard to say how much importance these pillars who have dedicated most of their lives to China attach to e-sports.
But if you talk to them about Chinese standards and Chinese discourse power, they will be interested.
"That's right!" Pei Yunteng drew the pie quite skillfully.
"Since the World Electronic Sports Association has not taken action, e-sports has not been able to move towards regularization and standardization."
"Then why can't we complete this task?"
"Let me make it clear to you that Tenghai has the determination, belief, and ability to set standards in the field of e-sports for China!" Old Zhang's face flushed.
China is a rising star in the field of competition.
Even the highest level, or even the few dominant projects, are not good enough to set industry standards.
But now, e-sports is taking the lead in challenging this.
"Okay! Great!"
"Little Pei!" His attitude towards Pei Yunteng became more friendly, with his eyes full of care and appreciation.
"You have such ambitious ideas. You are indeed a young and promising talent!"
"It's just that..." The old man hesitated a little, which was rare.
"Can we really do this?"
At least in the field of competitive sports, China has never been able to make a loud enough voice.
Pei Yunteng thought about it, and did not issue a military order, but just gently recited his motto:
"It's man-made."
Mr. Zhang was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled with relief.
"Everything depends on human effort. What a great saying!"
"I fully support you in principle, go do this job well!"
"As for the World Electronic Sports Association..." He thought about it.
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been silent spoke up:
"At least here, they won't bother you."
Pei Yunteng turned around, and the middle-aged man smiled as a greeting: "My last name is Ye."
really!
Pei Yunteng looked at the face that was at least 50% similar to Ye Xiu, but more serious and majestic, and confirmed his guess.
This is probably what Ye Xiu refers to as “my old man”.
"Old Ye heard that I wanted to meet you, so he came here specially. As for the reason, I believe you have guessed it."
Mr. Zhang smiled slightly, stood up, called the young secretary, and left the room.
"Let's talk."
There were only two people left in the room, and Pei Yunteng subconsciously felt a little reserved.
This person's aura is much stronger than that of Mr. Zhang.
"Don't be so reserved." Father Ye actually smiled. "Here, I'm just a father who is worried about his child."
"Ye Xiu has had a very bad relationship with his family over the years. Back then, that kid stole his brother's ID card and ran away from home. He has been in a bad mood every time he came back."
"I was originally very angry about his behavior, but in the past two years, especially after he started live streaming on your platform, I have changed my mind a little bit after seeing his behavior."
Only at this time could Pei Yunteng see some traces of love in this tough man:
"Xiao Pei, tell me, am I not doing enough as a father?"
No, it’s your family affair, and you want me, an outsider, to comment on it?
Pei Yunteng did not try to please Ye's father blindly, nor did he start by saying that Ye Xiu was wronged. Instead, after careful consideration, he slowly spoke:
"At least personally, I support your opinion of Ye Xiu at that time."
"Ye Xiu ran away from home ten years ago. At that time, the Glory League hadn't even started yet."
"Running away from home to play games is basically a dead end."
"It's normal for you to have a problem with him."
Father Ye perked up a little. He could tell that Pei Yunteng was not complimenting him but was really analyzing the situation seriously.
"Although the Glory League has developed over the years thanks to the efforts of Ye Xiu and his team, it has also taken a detour."
"At least before the launch of our Xianyu live broadcast, once a professional player retires, he loses his source of income."
"You either live off the land or work in a factory."
"I believe no parent would like to see such a life."
Seeing that Ye's father was touched, Pei Yunteng struck while the iron was hot:
"So I think your opposition to Ye Xiu's pursuit of e-sports is completely understandable."
"But in the future, I think you can try to trust him!"
Father Ye hesitated briefly, but finally looked at Pei Yunteng: "Xiao Pei, can you give me a hint?"
"How far can Ye Xiu go?"
Pei Yunteng smiled, revealing absolute confidence in his understatement:
"I think it shouldn't be difficult to win a few world championships and become the No. 1 player and industry leader in Chinese e-sports."
Father Ye's eyes revealed the expectation of an old father who wanted his son to become successful. He thought about it and seemed to have made up his mind.
"Those dandies will not do anything inappropriate to you except for normal business means."
"That's enough, thank you!"
"Good job!"
"Also, please give Ye Xiu a message for me..."
……
In the car back to Tenghai headquarters.
"Old man...did you really say that?" Ye Xiu's voice on the other end of the line trembled slightly.
"Yes, he asked you to come home for dinner when you are free, and also to fight well." Pei Yunteng's tone was a little emotional.
"You've been at odds with your family for so many years, it's time to reconcile with them."
There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a while, but Pei Yunteng could imagine what kind of intense emotional storm the other end was experiencing.
"Brother, thank you." After a long while, Ye Xiu spoke.
"If you hadn't changed the original ecosystem of e-sports, I might not have had the chance to change my relationship with my family before I retired."
For players in the e-sports field, the changes brought by Pei Yunteng are gradually seeping into their lives.
The way their families look at them begins to change, and what they can give away is no longer limited to the money they earned with their youth.
I don’t know when, Pei Yunteng has become a hero in their hearts.
"That's what I wish for. There's nothing much to say." Pei Yunteng smiled and shook his head.
"If you really want to thank me, then go win those damn trophies back for me!"
"If it is really taken away by foreigners, it will be a big deal."
Pei Yunteng couldn't help but think of a certain melon rind.
It would be really fun if the LPL in this world could be beaten by him to the point of suffering from a fear of flying.
Although Ye Xiu is not young anymore, according to the original work, it should not be a problem for him to reach S3.
He must shoulder the glory of the early LPL.
“Well, leave it to us!” Ye Xiu’s voice was rarely filled with the excitement of a young man.
Obviously, the long-awaited recognition from his family made this old man feel excited.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Yunteng leaned on the back seat of the car and dozed off, but he was chatting with the system deep in his consciousness.
"Next, it's up to you to work. You've been lying around for so many days, it's time to stretch your muscles."
Pei Yunteng's voice was lazy but a little chilly.
"Although that damn association can't play dirty tricks, the incredible technical level of Glory Company is enough to give us a hard time."
The system is quite excited to finally have something to do:
"Host, rest assured. With the system here, they won't be able to cause any trouble!"
"I hope so." Pei Yunteng rolled his eyes and stretched.
Thinking of the possible situation in the future, he couldn't help but smile.
League of Legends is ready, and the next batch of competitive games are already on Tencent's agenda.
He is looking forward to seeing whether the World Electronic Sports Association will become Lu Bu who fights against three heroes, or an elephant who is beaten to death?
"It's getting more and more interesting..."
