Chapter 221: The club is losing money?
Championships are important.
But who wins the championship is more important.
Three crowns is not the first case, there have been eight or ten crowns.
But CXG, which originated from CNCS, a place that does not receive much attention but has a broad market, has produced such a team that has won the championship of three major competitions in a row.
That would not be just an ordinary sensation or explosion.
The CXG team was not taken seriously by the veteran teams before. After all, many of these teams ended up being short-lived, disappearing and falling apart after achieving some success.
But after this, CXG has officially entered the vision of major international teams.
One championship is a coincidence, two championships are luck, and three championships are an unquestionable display of strength.
This team already has enough strength to gain a foothold in international competitions.
In other words, CXG has their place in CS.
Along the way, they have played against all kinds of strong teams and competed against all kinds of star players.
No defeat, continuous winning streak.
Nothing could be more convincing than this.
Some people bluntly said that if CXG maintains this momentum and wins two more championships, the Grand Slam is just around the corner.
But CS is a game that no one can predict. CXG is in very good shape, and no one can be sure whether CXG can continue its previous momentum in the next event.
……
Chengdu Tianfu International Airport.
A flight from Europe landed.
The CXG team walked out of the cabin and breathed the domestic air.
"Ah."
"The familiar taste, everything is so familiar."
Luo Chong took a deep breath and said sincerely.
"It's still nice at home."
"This has been going on for almost twenty days. I'm going to give it a good beating."
Wang Jie bumped into Senpo and said with a wink, "Can we have hot pot?"
"The spicy kind."
Moripo walked while shaking his head like a rattle, "No."
"You can give it a try. If you really can't stand it, I can go against tradition and order you a shabu-shabu pot."
Wang Jie tempted: "How about it?"
"Then give it a try..."
Senpo said hesitantly.
He knew that the hotpot was very spicy, and Wang Jie said it so casually that he felt something was fishy.
Luo Chong had a strange look in his eyes. My goodness, with Feizhu being like this, once he eats hotpot, his fever will definitely reach the maximum level on the spot.
Maybe the temperature will be released and some smoke may come out.
"In fact, you can eat Chongqing hotpot." Niu Tianyu whispered: "The more you eat that thing, the stronger it becomes."
He understands Wang Jie's thoughts.
What kind of Lao Liu's behavior could escape his perception?
Isn't it obvious that they are trying to trick the top guy on the list?
"Old Cow, how can you be so vicious?"
Wang Jie criticized righteously, "Senpo is our most caring elder brother. You have such a wrong idea."
"Do you understand, step by step?"
"You use your ultimate move right away. How interesting!"
What is Chongqing hotpot like? Doesn’t Wang Jie have any idea?
That's the feast to be served later.
The brothers were very happy as they walked and talked.
Senpo was still trying hard to understand their Chinese.
"You're talking too fast."
"It's best to speak Mandarin slowly. I can't keep up with Sichuanese."
Moriha suggested.
"Haha, Senpo, come here, I will teach you some Sichuan dialect words." Wang Jie likes to be a teacher and took the initiative to give lessons.
"What word?"
Moriha asked curiously.
"Wen Sang!"
"It's a compliment to someone, something you can say when you meet them."
Wang Jie said in a serious tone: "You can say the same thing to Brother Chong."
"Let me give you an example. Forl said: Chong, you are such a big Wen Sang, I like to send you a sniper."
Luo Chong and Li Xiang were in front with their luggage.
There are only Senpo and Niu Tianyu around Wang Jie.
Niu Tianyu was astonished by her beauty, his eyes full of admiration. Good guy, you, Old Wang, really need to teach me a lesson.
He also used Chong Ge as an example.
Don't be the main starter.
"chong!"
"You are such a big Wensan."
Wang Jie was still smiling and trying to do something bad, but who knew that Senpo would learn and put it into practice immediately. Without saying a word, he took a few steps forward, found Luo Chong and shouted him out.
The atmosphere at the scene became quiet.
The air is a little heavy.
Senpo felt something was a little strange, "What's wrong? Is it wrong?"
Luo Chong looked at Niu Tianyu and Wang Jie with a dim gaze, commanding his brain to start analyzing the situation.
Senpo definitely doesn’t know what Wensang means.
Niu Tianyu can’t teach either.
So after eliminating all the impossibilities, the only possibility is the answer.
"Old Wang."
“You can teach.”
He spoke slowly. Wang Jie felt frightened, gave an awkward smile, and reached out to take the luggage.
"Sasha."
"Old Wang taught you?"
Moripo nodded and said, "Yes."
"Yes, you have learned it well. You can also use it on the king."
"Wen Sang is not enough, dead Wen Sang is better."
Luo Chong said seriously.
"Really?" Senpo stared and looked at Wang Jie, "Damn Wen Sang?"
"Ha ha!"
Niu Tianyu, Zhou Shen, and Li Xiang couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Have fun while walking.
Invincible, alright.
Wang Jie is asking for trouble.
What else could he do? Who knew Senpo would be so direct and believe whatever he said?
Luo Chong carried the luggage in one hand, carried a schoolbag on his back, and held Wang Jie's neck with the other hand.
Wang Jie leaned forward with his head down, and staggered to keep up with the pace.
"I'll be damned if I hear you teach Senpo some weird words again."
"Get off your head!"
"Did you hear me?"
Luo Chong said viciously and tightened his arms. Wang Jie made a "ah ah ah" sound and quickly begged for mercy.
“Isn’t this a bad name?”
Senpo asked Niu Tianyu.
Niu Tianyu hesitated, thinking about how to explain.
I saw a huge crowd of people outside.
He immediately understood that these were the fans who came to pick him up at the airport.
There are CXG brands and their avatars, you don’t have to think about what they are.
“There are a lot of fans.”
“There are people inside and outside.”
Li Qin walked up to Luo Chong and said.
"It's just an EPL championship, is it necessary?"
Luo Chong said helplessly that this scene looked even more exciting than their victory in the Copenhagen Major.
Their itinerary was not concealed and was announced openly.
Again, even if they don’t announce it, some powerful netizens can still get the information about entry.
After all, they came back from abroad and they must go through customs.
"Is there any problem?"
Luo Chong asked in a low voice.
"No, there are many police officers at the airport to maintain order."
"Just say hello, sign autographs and take photos. After all, it must be very tiring for them to come here so late at night."
It's more than just hard work.
This back and forth can also stimulate a lot of consumption.
Soon, CXG stood in a row and greeted the fans in a formal manner.
"Everyone, warm..."
Wen your horse's head.
Luo Chong covered Senpo's mouth at the speed of light. At that moment, he even wanted to kill Wang Jie.
Fortunately, Luo Chong was right next to Senpo and reacted very quickly. Senpo was not fluent in spoken English either, otherwise, it would have been a lot of fun.
but…….
"what?"
"S1mpel, what do you mean by warm?"
Someone in the front row of fans shouted.
"Fuck, isn't he calling Wen Sang?"
"That bad bastard who taught this should be dragged out and beaten to death."...
"Look."
“This video is all over the Internet.”
"You, damn..."
On the way back, Luo Chong became more and more angry as he spoke, and he caught Wang Jie, this funny guy, and started to beat him up.
His lightning-fast reaction couldn't be reversed.
After all, this is the local dialect and the base of the locals.
As soon as you utter half a word, everyone knows what your next word will be.
There's no need to guess.
"Brother Chong, I was wrong, I was wrong."
"Never again."
Wang Jie hurriedly begged for mercy and shouted.
Li Xiang suddenly had an idea and asked, "Brother Jie, will you tell me later?"
Wang Jie: "???"
Luo Chong: “???”
Niu Tianyu glanced sideways in surprise, and his anus tightened.
Zhou Shen said slowly: "I'll check the shower head later to make sure there's nothing weird going on."
Li Qin was speechless, what was going on?
"what."
"Li Xiang, I'm going to kill you."
"What the hell are you talking about, you bastard?"
Wang Jie broke free from Luo Chong's restraints and rushed towards Li Xiang, pressing him down with a ferocious look on his face. He shouted to everyone, "Slander! He is slandering me."
"Show me what you are talking about. I don't understand anything you are saying."
"You bastard..."
"And you, Old Zhou, I'm going to kill you..."
Li Xiang shouted in horror: "Brother Chong, help me! Brother Jie's true colors have been revealed. His love is a big O."
"Big O."
"Be careful of your Chong, it has also become a big Chong."
Luo Chong's mouth twitched, and he said coldly: "Old Wang, your chance to redeem yourself has come."
"As long as I can't kill you, I'll beat you to death."
Wang Jie smiled sinisterly, "Li Xiang, even if Jesus comes, he can't save you. I said it!"
"what……!"
Li Xiang screamed in the car.
Li Qin had no intention of caring about it, so let them make a fuss.
She told Luo Chong: "The domestic sponsors are very happy."
"Their sales have increased significantly recently."
"Especially Hongxing Erke, the feedback is that the position has been liquidated."
Luo Chong raised his eyebrows and asked seriously, "Is it true? So cruel?"
"He's a big brand, he won't go bankrupt, right?"
Li Qin explained: "They are producing according to the normal production plan, and the inventory of CXG team uniforms is not very large,"
“You won the championship again this time, which sparked another wave of enthusiasm.”
“A lot of people bought it.”
Luo Chong asked doubtfully, "Are there so many? Can we buy out all the inventory?"
"You should know that there are actually a lot of CS players in China, but most of them only watch the games and don't play the game."
Li Qin said: "Only a small number of people play games, but the number of people who don't play games and watch the game is huge."
"correct."
"The operational capabilities are very strong and the work is very good. The traffic of CXG has been greatly expanded."
Luo Chong knew that there were a large number of CS players in China.
The potential market value is immeasurable.
But I didn't expect that they were really willing to pay for support.
As for operating this product, he is not very clear.
"There were more people picking up the plane this time than before, thanks to their operations."
Luo Chong still understands the value of the brand.
If a club wants to make money, it needs traffic.
Just look at what G2 did and you’ll understand why they are called the internet celebrity team.
Operations must have.
This is the only way to maintain and attract traffic.
Some teams just can't maintain themselves or attract traffic.
"We still have some time to get back to IEM Dallas. You guys need to work with the operations department to do some promotional operations."
Li Qin said.
"alright."
Luo Chong nodded and said that it was his duty to cooperate with the operation.
The higher the traffic, the more money you will make.
Finally arrived at the club base.
After being away for twenty days, I came back and found that the base had undergone considerable changes.
In the square outside the main entrance, there is a fountain pool with the CXG club logo in the middle.
Above the club building hangs a large CXG logo, which is very eye-catching.
This is what an e-sports base should look like.
All the club staff were there and a triumphal ceremony was held for everyone.
Luo Chong then clapped his hands and asked everyone to disperse.
"Everyone go and have a rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Fuck, Lao Wang, stop it, don't go under the shower when you get back."
Wang Jie was extremely resentful.
Li Xiang and Zhou Shen are his lifelong enemies and will ruin his reputation.
The teammates went to rest.
Luo Chong also had to attend a meeting with the club's staff and listen to reports.
He cast a helpless look at Li Qin.
“You have to listen to it.”
"You are the boss, you can't be a hands-off manager."
"Besides, there are still many documents that need your signature and approval."
“So many brands want sponsorship, it’s all about money, don’t you want it?”
Li Qin said this.
What else could Luo Chong do?
The club wants to maintain and develop, and all of these require money.
Don't look at winning the championship.
But for the club, money has been spent like water in just over a month since its establishment.
Not to mention other expenses, just part of the salary of employees and team members.
It's a lot of money.
Not to mention other expenses.
Luo Chong listened to the report briefly and finally came to a conclusion.
What the hell.
Make ends meet!
Since the establishment of the club, CXG has been in a loss-making state.
“Why would I lose money?”
"I'm fooled."
“This makes me panic.”
After the meeting, Luo Chong was a little confused.
I can't understand this financial statement and monthly summary.
But if he loses, he will feel very uncomfortable.
“It’s not a loss.”
Li Qin said: "In fact, from the perspective of sponsorship fees, revenue sharing, and live broadcast contracts, we are profitable."
"However, after deducting these, the profits from club matches alone are in a loss-making state."
Luo Chong asked doubtfully: "Why do you have to calculate it this way?"
"The details of the accounts must be sorted out."
"Which part is which part? You only see the loss, not the income."
Li Qin rolled her eyes and said, "If you continue to be a boss like this, sooner or later you will lose everything but your pants."
"In fact, based on current revenue, as long as CXG maintains its popularity, it will not lose money on monthly profits in the future."
"But the sponsorship fee is a one-time payment, for one, two or three years."
"It's like you put it in your account one month, but it won't be counted next month."
Luo Chong said: "There will be no sponsorship fees next month. There will be no such part in the account, and the income will not be as good as it is now."
"Yes." Li Qin nodded.
Luo Chong sighed: "No wonder some teams disbanded during the fight."
"Without results, there will be no income. How can we afford such losses?"
"Many teams are operating at a loss." Li Qin said, "They rely on the money and sponsors behind them to continue to fight."
"Without sponsors, we can't continue to fight just by relying on prize money. Either we do it for the love of the cause and pay for it ourselves, or we disband."
“CXG currently has funds on its books, so there is no need to worry about these issues.”
"If you want your wallet to keep expanding and not shrink, you have to play well in the game."
Luo Chong touched his chin and suddenly became serious, saying, "Bring me the list of those who want to sponsor CXG."
"Let me see, we have done everything we can."
"You're a bastard if you don't make money."
Li Qin handed over the list with a smile, "The sponsorship fee will be increased now. This is the confidence of Triple Crown CXG."
