Wang Juntao looked at Yang Xiao with some resentment in his eyes, and walked away dejectedly. Before he left, he left a regretful word:
"Oh, if I had known I should have listened to you, I would have been stuck now."
"Then I wish you a day when you can get out of this predicament." Yang Xiao comforted with a smile.
In fact, Wang Juntao had a rough idea of the ending of Huiduotuan.com before he came.
Just as Yang Xiao said, maybe when their so-called [Huiduotuan.com] reaches the end of its road, they wouldn’t mind taking over and having some fun.
And even if he really wants to play, he would rather find a few like-minded partners to start a group buying business.
As for partnering with this makeshift team of mediocre people, forget it.
As the saying goes, all troubles come from trying to stand out.
Yang Xiao is not the savior of that group of people, but he doesn't have the time to mess around with them.
Wang Juntao's original plan was actually not bad, and Yang Xiao could understand that, or maybe it was just human nature.
If an ordinary person were to take over this business, it would be true to say that it is a scam.
But from the perspective of Wang Juntao and others, they didn't think this would be a trap for Yang Xiao at all.
After all, they really wanted to transfer most of the shares to Yang Xiao.
It's true that you're asking Yang Xiao for help, but you also have to give him real benefits!
Because of Yang Xiao's different identity, he himself has traffic and gimmicks. Something that was originally not favored and difficult to accomplish by the outside world will change instantly with his participation.
This kind of "major good news" can completely help you turn the tide!
It is like a "shitty" business project. If Jack Ma and Pony Ma get involved and give a call, countless people will follow suit and pay for it.
Although Yang Xiao cannot be compared with these two, what Wang Juntao and others are trying to do is probably the same.
By then, after Yang Xiao leads them to a "turnaround", Yang Xiao will directly hold 51% of the shares. It is equivalent to buying at a low price and then having full control. How can he not make money?
However, Yang Xiao still said the same thing, he would not choose to cooperate with this group of people.
Nor do I want to be the "leader" of this group of people.
At this moment, Wang Juntao could only say that he was taking things for granted.
But this is also his own character.
It all started when he was tied up and brought on board by his good friend because of the so-called "brotherhood".
But he and Yang Xiao also got to know each other because of the "brotherhood" they developed after meeting on the Internet.
Even the name of the team they chose when playing the game was "Loyalty Association", which shows how strong Wang Juntao's underworld habits are.
Now he came to Yang Xiao with a shameless face, not because he was thick-skinned, but because he relied on the relationship between him and Yang Xiao, hoping that Yang Xiao could lend a helping hand and rescue him from the quagmire.
But in Yang Xiao's eyes, brotherhood and business must be distinguished. How can they be confused like this?
But precisely because Wang Juntao is also a man who values friendship and loyalty, Yang Xiao cannot ignore him.
Even adding in the years of his past life, after so many years, Yang Xiao can still clearly remember that during the summer vacation, he followed the "captain" Wang Juntao, eating and drinking for free and helping to spend money in the game, and spent almost three months like this.
This is a happy time when we become close friends. These things cannot be measured by money alone.
There is also a lot of human connection involved.
In addition, Yang Xiao also believed that even if it came to the current situation, if he suddenly went bankrupt and asked Wang Juntao to borrow a few million, as long as Wang Juntao had the money, he would not stand idly by and do nothing.
Because Wang Juntao is such a straightforward person.
This is also one of the reasons why Yang Xiao persuaded Wang Juntao to invest in the e-sports club together and was willing to cover the bottom for him.
Although he did not stay in Wancheng for long in this life, the relationship they developed was far less than in the previous life.
Yang Xiao just regarded this as repaying the favor he owed in his previous life.
He did not mindlessly agree to Wang Juntao's stupid request. Having achieved this point, Yang Xiao has a clear conscience.
Tan Bin, Li Yuanbao and Zhou Hongyu also watched Wang Juntao go away, feeling sad in their hearts.
During his conversation with Yang Xiao, he did not avoid mentioning the three of them.
Unexpectedly, Wang Juntao’s current situation is so serious. Millions of dollars of investment have been wasted in just two or three months.
Zhou Hongyu shook his head and sighed: "Alas, Brother Tao just couldn't resist the temptation of others. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?"
The other two couldn't help but look at Yang Xiao, feeling somewhat surprised at his sharp judgment.
Li Yuanbao suddenly asked, "Brother Xiao, you just said that the e-sports club makes hundreds of millions a year. Are you kidding Brother Tao?"
At this moment, he also had an expression of "I've seen through it a long time ago". After all, the total expenses of their e-sports club during this period, including rent, water points, salaries of more than a dozen professional players, and computer equipment, only cost more than 200,000 yuan in total.
The so-called profits of hundreds of millions, if not nonsense, what else could it be?
Hearing this, Yang Xiao didn't want to explain and said with a smile: "Anyway, you are in charge of the club. If you can't make so much money by then, just die quickly."
When a few people heard Yang Xiao's words, they just thought he was joking.
"How many hundreds of millions? Just kill me. I haven't even saved this much GP coins in CrossFire."
Li Yuanbao had a sad face. When he thought of this, he felt frustrated. He had never been a RMB player, nor a real player. It was indeed a bit boring.
Zhou Hongyu smiled wickedly and teased, "Don't be discouraged, Yuanbao, the thing you wrap with toilet paper every night will definitely have this number on it."
"Get out!" Li Yuanbao shouted angrily and started fighting with him again.
Yang Xiao looked at them playing and suddenly became thoughtful.
At the current point in time, various online games in China are flourishing.
But to be honest, there is not a single event that can go viral and attract widespread attention.
Of course, there are many reasons for this.
For example, without a stable live media channel, it is difficult to gain public attention.
In addition, game companies led by Tencent are only concerned with making money.
Even the prize money for some offline competitions is very stingy, with no regard for fan economy at all. It has always been a business strategy of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
When it comes to the most discussed and popular game, it has to be Warcraft.
Because the Chinese people at that time were more competitive and won several championships.
But that's it.
In the eyes of many game companies, no matter how exciting this kind of thing is, it is just a loss-making business with no economic benefits at all.
Perhaps it is precisely because the Warcraft competition served as a precedent that they all find it difficult to pay attention to this aspect, and are far behind South Korea and other countries in the "e-sports" industry.
But Warcraft took the wrong path.
Why?
Because there are too few female players of this game!
If you want to profit from the "fan economy", female fans are the key. Whether they are fan club members or female players who are simply making up the numbers, they are also part of the driving force behind male players!
From Yang Xiao's forward-looking vision, taking Tencent as an example, several current games can actually try to operate the "fan economy".
Games like QQ Speed and QQ Dance have a large female fan base, and there are actually quite a few female players of shooting games like Cross Fire.
Yang Xiao pondered for a moment and looked at Tan Bin.
This boy looks quite handsome. If he really succeeds in some competition, after being packaged and exposed, maybe he can try to run a fan club in advance?
"Binzi, do you want to be a star?"
"Ah? Me? Being a star?"
Tan Bin was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that Yang Xiao would say this. "Don't be ridiculous, Brother Xiao, do you think I look like a celebrity? Besides, I can't do anything except playing games."
"Well, let's talk about it later. Just play the game well first. It won't be a problem for you to become a star in the e-sports circle in the future."
If it were the entertainment industry, Tan Bin would certainly not be qualified.
But the e-sports circle is too tolerant. As long as one has decent looks and some management behind the scenes, he can easily win a lot of female fans.
There are even some wealthy women among them, who really don’t care about whether they eat meat or vegetables.
Tan Bin's conditions were barely enough. Well, we had to dispatch some makeup artists from Time Culture Media. If there was a live broadcast of a game, we had to do makeup for the people in the SG club. The water army was also ready at all times. We would pay close attention to any player with a lot of female fans, and then we could build momentum in that direction and create an "e-sports star".
In this regard, they are definitely ahead of the curve.
But before that, he had to find someone from the operations department to communicate with Tencent to see if there was any opportunity for cooperation.
We should strive to cooperate in hosting more events, take the lead and invest in his name, and even help find people to plan the events. I believe Tencent will be happy to cooperate.
"Lao Zhou, Yuanbao, after you train a professional team, I will then transfer a few professional operations staff from other places, and we will strive to become the number one e-sports club in the industry!"
"Okay, whatever you say is what we'll follow your arrangements."
In the following days, Yang Xiao rested for two days before returning to school leisurely at 8:30 in the evening before the official class.
Yang Xiao was walking on the 4th floor of the dormitory building. Just when he was about to reach his own dormitory 402, as luck would have it, a boy holding a basin of water suddenly walked out from the dormitory next door. He walked with his head down, and it seemed that he was going to get water from the hot water room. He came out of the dormitory in a hurry and almost bumped into Yang Xiao.
The man raised his head and saw that it was Yang Xiao. The unhappy look on his face immediately disappeared.
Yang Xiao was not unfamiliar with this person either. It was Chen Jianguo, the league secretary of his class, with whom he had had some minor conflicts before.
Chen Jianguo laughed awkwardly at this time, and then said dryly: "Yang Xiao, you just returned to school?"
"Yeah, just arrived."
Yang Xiao nodded lightly as a response, then walked back to his dormitory.
Chen Jianguo turned around and looked at Yang Xiao's back as he carried a casual backpack with a complicated expression. He never thought that this boy, who was very high-profile in skipping classes last semester and was extremely low-key to the point of having no sense of existence at other times, actually had such a big career in secret.
At the same time, he was also somewhat fortunate that he did not have any grudge against him.
At least Yang Xiao's nod in response to him just now is proof.
He took the washbasin, which contained a towel, a mouthwash cup and a toothbrush. Then he shook his head and walked towards the hot water room dejectedly.
"Damn it, why are you still coming to school when it's like this?"
"Brother Xiao, you're finally back. You made quite a fuss during this holiday."
At this time, the door of dormitory 402 was wide open, and Mu Xingwen's bed was next to the door. He was the first to see Yang Xiao. He immediately got up from the bed and greeted him excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Guan Songlong and Zhang Jun immediately came up to Yang Xiao with a smile on their faces. The latter even quickly took the backpack filled with clothes from Yang Xiao's hand, and looked like he was always at Yang Xiao's service.
"Brother Xiao, did you have fun in Licheng? If I had known you would stay so long, I would have come over to play with you."
"Where's Brother Xiao? This is our President Xiao!" Guan Songlong also teased Yang Xiao for a rare time.
Yang Xiao hadn't seen these three little cuties for nearly two months, so he smiled and said, "Stop making trouble."
"Brother Xiao, you don't know, at least a dozen groups of people came this afternoon, all looking for you!"
"is it?"
Mu Xingwen even uttered a word in Northeastern dialect: "That's right, the counselor and the head teacher came this afternoon and asked about you. Also, some students from other departments came here to see you. Oh, and Director Zhang Yang has also come twice. I guess he will come again soon."
Yang Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then put up a notice on the door and charge a five-dollar ticket to come in."
"Haha, I guess I can make several hundred dollars a day."
Seeing that Yang Xiao had a good attitude, the three of them smiled knowingly.
"dong dong dong"
At this moment, there was a knock on the dormitory door and Mu Xingwen opened it.
"Um, is Junior Yang here?" A boy wearing glasses poked his head in and asked.
"Okay, it's you again." Mu Xingwen looked at Yang Xiao helplessly.
"I am." Yang Xiao said.
"Oh, sorry to bother you. Yang, I'm a fan of your Weibo. I just stopped by to take a look."
After saying that, he looked at Yang Xiao carefully for a few times, then quickly retracted his head.
Next, the so-called "Weibo fans" like the one just mentioned suddenly began to show up. They seemed to have received the news that Yang Xiao had returned to school, and they swarmed over.
Later, Zhang Yang came again. He was holding two bags of specialties from their hometown and said they were specially brought for Yang Xiao.
This made Yang Xiao sigh in his heart that this person was indeed much better than most people in dealing with human relationships.
In addition, there are some people who claim to be Yang Xiao’s “work fans” and “technology fans”, and they all try to get close to Yang Xiao, but there are too many curious people in the school.
He always asked him some fantastic questions that were difficult for Yang Xiao to answer.
"Xiaodi Yang, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Junior, you scolded the public intellectuals so well!"
"Yang Xiao, what is the specific valuation of your company?"
"Young fellow Yang, can you add me on QQ?"
There were even female fans who, under the pretext of "student union checking dormitories" and "checking hygiene", got through the dormitory manager and came here to get close to Yang Xiao, hinting at him and confessing their love to him, which really annoyed him.
So he simply closed the door and didn't open it no matter who knocked.
Zhang Jun came up with an idea. Instead of writing a 5 yuan ticket price, he simply wrote a sign that said "Do Not Disturb, Thank You" and hung it on the door.
The effect is also quite good. At least the vast majority of college students are quite sensible.
There was no one anymore who shamelessly came to knock on Yang Xiao's door.
In fact, Yang Xiao had already anticipated this situation tonight.
That's why he deliberately returned to school at 8:30 in the evening, just to avoid being disturbed by too many people.
He has already enjoyed the benefits and advantages of fame during his holidays.
But being too famous also has its disadvantages.
The result is what is happening now. A group of people come to visit and watch it like a giant panda. The onlookers don’t even need to buy tickets!
He really can't stand it!
But this is unavoidable unless Yang Xiao considers renting a house off campus!
He is planning to wait and see for two days. If he is continuously harassed by his classmates and it affects his normal life, then he will not be able to continue living in the dormitory.
At that time, you will have to communicate with the class teacher and school leaders.
There's no way, he really has fans.
And he's a die-hard fan.
There are also many people from the surrounding areas who want to meet him offline.
Fortunately, the school guards are not pushovers. After knowing that Yang Xiao’s incident was exposed, they completely strengthened the restriction on entry of outsiders.
After school started, discussions about him gradually increased.
Some people were curious about him, and some started spreading rumors about him.
[Yang Xiao is too aloof. He ignores people who greet him at school.]
[Yeah, why are you pretending, do you think you are so great? ]
[Haha, isn’t it just a few stinky coins? ]
[What are you talking about? I feel like Yang is easy-going and doesn't put on airs.]
[Yeah, you guys aren't the type to try to get close to others, are you? Don't be so utilitarian! ]
[Another female fan? I give in. I’ll leave first.]
