Chapter 249 CXG Genius Cup

Luo Chong is not good at negotiation or anything like that.

After all, he is only eighteen years old. His knowledge of the human relationships and vision cannot be compared with those of adults who have been in the workplace and are knowledgeable.

Especially this kind of direct conversation with people.

The other party was experienced and spoke very carefully, while Luo Chong was just a young and inexperienced person.

If there wasn't someone around him, Luo Chong would be played around by others.

Luo Chong knows professional matters and leaves them to professionals.

I have never been a boss, so I haven’t seen the experiences that netizens give me.

Therefore, he was very relaxed about the club. He kept the money in his hands, but left the operations to professionals.

Luo Chong has to be present for this negotiation with Douyu.

Although Luo Chong is young, no one is more convincing than him as the brand of CXG club.

Douyu only talked to Luo Chong, and felt that there was no sincerity when others went.

From one million to three million.

In the end, both parties agreed.

Douyu sponsored three million and helped promote the plan, and provided huge traffic support on Douyu Live.

This means that in addition to negotiating a sponsorship of three million, Luo Chong also received a free publicity platform.

As for Huya, it’s on Douyin.

After getting the news, they came and offered a price for creating Douyu.

But Luo Chong's face was not so ugly as to tear up the agreement or be shameless.

He chose to decline.

Since we promised Douyu exclusive live broadcast, this is the only way.

After that, Luo Chong worked like a cow or a horse, seeking sponsorship everywhere.

"With Mr. Luo, sponsorship can usually be negotiated, but it would be difficult for us to negotiate."

"It's still Mr. Luo's reputation that counts."

Luo Chong smiled without saying anything, feeling somewhat pleased and proud in his heart.

This is the benefit of being famous.

If it were in the past, would you have sought sponsorship?
Hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars are enough for him.

Who are you?

“How much sponsorship have you attracted?”

"Ten million."

Li Qin said with a smile: "This 10 million is beyond our expectations."

"The sponsors are very respectful to you."

Luo Chong rolled his eyes, "Face? I really want to thank them. In the future, they will know that this sponsorship is worth it."

It is definitely not more efficient for the club to pay the money than to attract sponsors.

This not only involves the issue of money, but also the various helps provided by the other party during the talented teenagers selection program.

These are ways that you may not be able to find even if you have money.

"What are you going to do?"

"This ten million is not a small amount."

Li Qin asked seriously, "People are happy to sponsor this thing, but they are also doing it for your reputation."

"You may not take it seriously, but if you screw up, it will inevitably affect you."

Luo Chong thought about it and said, "It's okay."

"I'll call Lao Jiu over."

Soon, 259 hurried over. Ever since Luo Chong agreed to carry out this genius plan, he has devoted himself to it.

While Luo Chong was soliciting sponsorship, he was also perfecting the plan.

Luo Chong said: "Lao Jiu, I have already got you the sponsorship for the Talented Youth Selection Program."

"You need to change your plans."

259 was slightly stunned and asked, "How do I change it?"

The first stage naturally starts with online registration to screen out those who advance.

The same is true for the second phase.

but.

Luo Chong decided to make some changes.

“From the second phase onwards, it will be conducted offline.”

"For talented young people from all over the country who advance to the second round, CXG will reimburse their round-trip travel expenses and provide them with food and lodging."

The four people were shocked.

No.

Boss, are you serious?

The second phase will be offline. Do you know how many people there are?
Li Qin immediately said: "Boss Luo, have you ever thought about how many people there will be in the second phase and how much cost will be incurred by then?"

“Can you afford this?”

"I don't think even ten million is enough."

She never expected that Luo Chong would do this.

It's a bit unreasonable indeed.

"I know."

“So this is an internal discussion.”

Luo Chong said: "Let's see how many people there are in the second stage."

“We’ll decide whether to invite everyone to Chengdu then.”

Li Qin rubbed his brows and said, "I really don't know what you are thinking."

"You're just imaginative. Do you have nothing to do during the off-season and want to create something?"

Luo Chong said noncommittally: "I don't think the talent selection program sounds good."

"Laojiu, what do you think of the CXG Genius Cup?"

"Ah?" Lao Jiu was a little confused. How could a genius selection become a genius cup?

Is this good?
It seems a bit high-profile.

"It's decided, Laojiu, I'll leave it to you."

Luo Chong added: "The prize money should be set high, not limited to domestic talents, but also talented young people from abroad can participate."

"I'll give you a number."

"First place gets three hundred thousand dollars!"

“Second place…”

He clapped his hands and finished.

Lao Jiu and Li Qin stood there in a daze. He felt that the previous words were very tiring.

Who knew this bonus would be even more tiring.

Three hundred thousand US dollars for the first place?

"It's not about rushing to God."

“Team or individual?”

"Three hundred thousand US dollars, isn't that a bit..."

What should Laojiu say?

The first place in a large-scale competition, even for a professional team, does not receive $300,000.

There is a talent selection in this country, and the first place winner will receive US$300,000.

It's noisy.

All in all, there are more than two million in the country.

He felt that the previous two million yuan invested in youth training was already a great level of support.

Now that I think about it, it’s a huge support?

This is the most terrifying and exaggerated part.

Once the news comes out, it will probably cause an uproar both at home and abroad.

It would be nothing for an outsider, but this person is not an outsider, but an insider, the most popular professional player at the moment, and the owner of a popular team club.

He is also a talented boy.

He is eighteen years old.

"personal."

“Comprehensive data is the best.”

Luo Chong said: "No matter which aspect, you have to be excellent, including killing, assists, awareness, etc."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I want to organize an unprecedented talent selection competition."

“This will be the pinnacle of individual competition.”

“Countless people will see the explosive display of personal ability.”

"He is the best in terms of personal ability, and he deserves such a bonus."

crazy.

Really crazy.

Li Qin knew that she couldn't persuade the angry Luo Chong, so she just hoped that he could calm down and change his mind as soon as possible.

Who knew that Luo Chong not only did not change his mind.

Instead, he took her to the official department to discuss the subsequent offline competitions.

The preparations for reporting have already begun.

After hearing what Luo Chong said, the leaders of the relevant departments thought that there was a way forward and no one would disagree.

From what this young man said, he wants to do it every year. He has sponsors and influence.

Chengdu is so tolerant, what's wrong with e-sports?
Must give.

“You really….”

When the two were alone, Li Qin took a long time to utter these words, "Invincible."

Luo Chong was very proud of himself and accepted the compliment.

"You do it every year. Where do you get so much thought for it?"

"Just play your job well, isn't that enough?"

"Besides, if you do this, what if it's a thankless task?"

Luo Chong said calmly: "I am eighteen years old."

"you……."

"When I was 18, I didn't need to think about things in such a complicated way. I just wanted to do it. If I had the ability to achieve it, I would do it."

Luo Chong said calmly: "Although it sounds a bit unrealistic, what if it succeeds?"

"Then I will not only be the most successful professional player, but also become an idol for countless e-sports players."

He was beaming with joy, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became. Suddenly he thought of something, and said with wide eyes, "Li Qin, can you help me find a professional League of Legends team or club?"

"See if there are any businesses that are unable to continue and are about to close down."

Li Qin was shocked. She almost guessed what Luo Chong was going to do. Luo Chong said proudly, "That's right. CXG is not a single-game club. We want to expand our main business."

“It’s not limited to CS2, it can also be extended to other fields.”

"Faze can be put on the market."

"CXG will be listed in my hands one day."

Li Qin stopped and looked at Luo Chong with some sympathy, "You really are drifting."

"Floating without knowing why, floating foolishly and blindly."

Luo Chong said dissatisfiedly: "Just talk about the matter. If you make personal attacks, I will take action."

He doesn't mind a real-life attack.

Li Qin subconsciously hugged her chest and said vigilantly: "Are you mentally ill?"

“I agree with expanding the main business sector.”

"But you're talking about League of Legends, which is half dead now, and the traffic of the tournaments has dropped sharply."

“I thought it would be as popular as the previous S events.”

"What's the difference between you joining the National Army now and 49 joining the National Army?"

Luo Chong scratched his head. The traffic of League of Legends events was indeed not as good as before, and it was not as popular as before.

But after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

In the past, it was a fight between gods, but now if CXG intervenes in the final stage, they may become the king, crush the Koreans, and kick T1.

Li Qin still advised him to be cautious and consider other options.

……

The CXG Genius Cup is in full swing.

You have to take the initiative to contact Valve and obtain their permission.

Otherwise, if you organize a fake event, how can you go international and get overseas players to participate?

In addition, Luo Chong's ambitions go beyond this.

The CXG Genius Cup is one of the test events.

His greater ambition is to organize a tour event in China with the participation of strong international teams.

Starting from Chengdu, we travel to major cities across the country.

Ah!
Luo Chong has already thought of the name of the event.

CXG Chengdu.

CXG Chongqing.

CXGBJ and other series of events.

He can't live without CXG.

"Valve has some opinions, thinking that the prize money exceeds the maximum limit set by their event."

Li Qin said with a frown.

Valve has a groove rule.

The prize money for a tournament cannot exceed the official prize money for a Valve tournament.

That is to say, the major has a prize money of one million US dollars, but other tournaments do not.

As wealthy as an oil man with a piece of cloth on his head, the prize money for the CS section competition is capped at one million US dollars.

Is it that he can't give more?

Can take it out.

But if the price exceeds Valve’s requirements, they will not agree.

In fact, this is a way for Valve to confirm the official status of the event.

Otherwise, if the prize money of other tournaments is higher than that of the official tournaments, and everyone participates in them, then who will play in the official tournaments?

The influence and value declined unnoticed, and finally it could not compare with other events.

The authorities certainly don't want to see this.

Therefore, they don't want to spend money to raise the prize money cap, but they also don't want to allow other events to exceed the cap.

“This is a personal event.”

"It's an individual competition, it's not a team competition, and only those under 18 are allowed to participate."

"It's not a regular competition, okay? Why do you insist on holding us back? What good will it do you?"

When Luo Chong was excited, his English became half-baked. After he argued tirelessly.

Valve decided to discuss the matter and then give CXG a reply.

Luo Chong had no choice but to agree first, but he acted like a shameless person afterwards and sent messages to Valve's event department every day to inquire about the situation.

"Chongshen, actually the prize money is not that high. Our goal is not that ambitious. We just held it casually."

Laojiu seemed to be trying to persuade him.

He was so worried about the first major thing he would be responsible for after arriving at CXG that he panicked.

How embarrassing that is.

"What's the point then?"

Luo Chong said unhappily: "If you want to do it, do the best."

“This matter is not that simple.”

“It involves the future development direction of the club.”

"You don't understand. I don't blame you. Don't worry, this event will definitely be held."

Forehead!
Lao Jiu paused and said, "Okay, I don't understand. You are the boss and you have the final say."

It involves the future development direction of the club.

This is really an exaggeration.

Li Qin knew what Luo Chong was thinking.

I didn’t expect there would be such big goals and ideas.

She neither agreed nor disagreed. Anyway, if the boy wanted to make trouble, let him do it.

Finally, after Luo Chong's tireless harassment.

Valve has agreed to hold the CXG Genius Cup and will provide all possible assistance.

Luo Chong excitedly gave Valve a thumbs up.

"Next, it's your home court."

"Have this Genius Cup done."

Luo Chong said to Lao Jiu seriously.

When Lao Jiu heard that it was done, the pressure was extremely great.

"I will contact those friends abroad, and the CXG club will also send invitation messages to other international teams. Anyone in the youth training team who is 18 years old or younger can participate in the CXG Talent Cup selection."

"All travel expenses and hotel expenses will be reimbursed."

CXG kept this news a secret.

The news was made public when Valve officially announced that it agreed to CXG holding the CXG Genius Cup in CN for CS enthusiasts from all over the world.

As soon as this news came out.

CN players were furious.

My goodness, I have been holding it in for a long time and finally created such a big incident.

CXG Genius Cup.

Not only domestic but also foreign participants can participate.

"I didn't make this clear before."

"After all, you know, I was young and fickle, and I didn't think about it that much."

"So, you see whether this sponsorship will increase appropriately as the competition becomes more competitive."

"Don't worry, I have absolutely no intention of changing the contract. It's just that you feel a little guilty about raising the price."

The person in charge of this cooperation at Douyu twitched his mouth.

I just believed your lies.

If I really don't give it to you, I will be cheated of your big money.

Do you think I don’t know that Tik Tok and Huya are almost exploding with your connections?

You trick people into coming in and then kill them again and again. Isn't that what you always do?

Not the first time.
