Rebirth of the Evil Life

39575 Chapter 561 Depressed Ding Lei

The "Second World E-Fang Champions League" round of competition. Dan doubts that it is "greatly acclaimed" and praised as the most outstanding "e-sports league" at home and abroad Captivate the audience and drive all audiences crazy.

However, the game is wonderful, but for all 18 clubs, the balance of payments is the first. At present, the average annual investment of the 18 clubs is about 50 million RMB. If there is only input but no output, no matter how close the relationship between Wahaha and other company executives and Lin Feng is, it is useless to have a life-and-death relationship involving club operations. After all, no one is willing to spend tens of millions of RMB every year when they have more money, but they can't see any gains.

Of course, people from the Middle East oil empire like Suleiman al-Fahim are exceptions. Arabs have always been the ones who have too much money and nowhere to spend it.

Since this competition is Lin Fengqi, Zong Qinghou and others have responded to Lin Feng's face, then Lin Feng must find a source of income for it. The income from TV broadcasting is huge, but in the first year, in order to expand the popularity of the E-Sports Champions League, Lin Feng has already sold its broadcasting rights for free. As for which TV station to sign a contract with next year. It's hard to say how much profit there will be.

As for the ticket income, although the venues of the eighteen clubs are filled with seats, although the venues are almost full, each ticket only costs 1 yuan, which can be said to be cheap. Counting the sales of team uniforms and other peripherals of various clubs, it will only bring in less than ten thousand income for a year.

The input of 10,000 yuan and the output of 40,000 yuan obviously cannot make ends meet.

In order to expand financial resources, Lin Feng created an official magazine "E-sports Life" in the name of the e-sports league, which is sold before each round of competition. The content of the magazine is based on the analysis of the classic matches of the last round of the league to comment on the star players of the above discussion. The magazine will publish the player rankings and club rankings of various games, and will interview a popular player every week and predict the next round of the league.

And this "E-sports Life" sold very well, the first issue was sold out, and the price of each magazine was 10,000 yuan. Witnessing this gratifying achievement. Lin Feng then plans to open magazine branches in Europe, South Korea, Taiwan, North America and other places to expand it into multi-language editions and strive to make it the most authoritative e-sports magazine in the world. Lin Feng believes that e-sports will definitely be a long-lasting industry. As long as the "Second World E-sports Champions League" can maintain the title of the world's best e-sports league and have the best professional players, the sales of this magazine can be guaranteed. .

After all, when all professional players of the "Second World E-Sports Champions League" sign contracts, each club owns the right to their portraits. Without the club's consent, players are not allowed to accept interviews privately. This trick was originally intended to attack other e-sports leagues, but this move also fulfilled the just-released "E-sports Life".

The future game industry will be divided into three parts. Stand-alone games, online games and e-sports games.

Among them, stand-alone games will probably be absorbed by online games sooner or later, while e-sports games will continue to shine and compete with online games.

"The boss, Mr. Ding Lei, the president of NetEase, has arrived." Just as Lin Feng was thinking about the bright future of the E-sports Champions League, Ding Lei came to see him.

Lin Feng's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's my honor that you are willing to come, Mr. Ding." Lin Feng enthusiastically went to greet Ding Lei in person.

"Director Lin, your words are still so exaggerated." Ding Lei smiled lightly, but his brows were knit together, obviously he had something on his mind.

Lin Feng smiled lightly, he naturally knew why Ding Lei came here. NetEase's current situation is not good, because there is no profit project, and it has been suspended by NASDAQ in the United States. This time, it has invested the remaining funds in the e-sports championship league. Now NetEase is almost unable to uncover the pot.

"I don't know what to do with me, but it's okay to say." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Ding Lei sighed looking at Lin Feng who was full of spring breeze in front of him.

Once upon a time, he was so high-spirited and pointed the country around the country. However, the bursting of the Internet bubble plunged NetEase into a financial crisis and became the first four-listed company in China to be suspended by the United States. The three major domestic portals that were once glorious are now miserable. The new wolf was swallowed by Lin Feng. Sohu is now relying on an "Apple Pie" to open up the campus market and barely support it. As for his own NetEase, it was even more miserable and almost declared bankruptcy.

Now, Tencent, Baidu, and Sohu, the four major domestic portals, have been re-evaluated by the industry. netease. Its ranking successively shows the location of the four major portals. Among them, Tencent and Baidu are the most popular. Tencent relies on this instant messaging tool to occupy an absolute customer resource. Baidu relies on Baidu to search for wear. And behind Lin Feng's financial resources. And Tencent each occupy a piece of the sky. As long as he finds Yihu, he will be reduced to dust forgotten by everyone.

As for why Netease exhausted all its financial resources to invest in the E-sports Champions League organized by Lin Feng this time, Ding Lei is also optimistic about the future of e-sports. If not come in now. Ding Lei will definitely regret it in the future. Anyway, there are eighteen e-sports clubs worth more than 10 million yuan. NetEase invests the least, Wahaha invests the most and cannot save NetEase's fate. It is better to invest in emerging industries with very promising market prospects.

After all, this e-sports championship league was started by Lin Feng. With Lin Feng's current financial resources, Ding Lei absolutely believed that Lin Feng could make this jin. The "Second World E-Sports Champions League" has become the most successful e-sports league in the world and even the most profitable e-sports league.

Facts have also proved that Ding Lei's judgment is extremely wise. Nowadays, the scene is getting more and more popular in the past three rounds, and a seat is not enough to do it. Most of them can only watch the live broadcast at home or in Internet cafes.

Also, the sales volume of Anfang magazine "E-sports Life" is also rising, especially after the English version, Korean version and Spanish version are launched, its sales volume has reached an astonishing 10,000 copies per issue, and this figure is still rising. middle. Experts predict that the sales volume of "E-sports Life" will not be difficult.

After all, lured by the high salaries of the "Second World E-Sports Champions League", more and more players are investing in the e-sports market, hoping to become e-sports players. Even if you can't become an e-sports player, it's good to buy a magazine to enjoy the games of these players and see the rankings.

Therefore, Ding Lei has no regrets about investing all of NetEase's remaining liquidity in the "NetEase E-sports Club". However, all the money has been invested, but when it will start to make a profit is not something that can be done in the short term. Now Ding Lei came to look for Lin Feng because he hoped that Lin Feng could help him solve Netease's current difficulties. After all, when the "New Era" alliance existed before. Lin Feng had invited him but he was a long time late.

"Boss Lin and I are all aware of the situation at NetEase, and I don't want to say any polite words. I came here today to ask for help. I don't know how Director Lin can save the current NetEase." Ding Lei said sincerely.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Ding's Netease portal may not be able to maintain normal operation only by advertising revenue. After all, all domestic online game players habitually log on to 6 Tencent or Baian Netease and Sohu have been gradually forgotten by everyone." Lin Feng said.

Ding Lei sighed after hearing this, which is very ironic. But it is true. Relying on the absolute market share of netizens when viewing current affairs news. The first choice is to open Tencent to search for information, then use Baidu, Netease and Pohu. The location is really embarrassing.

"So NetEase must develop new industries. The game industry is very popular now. I heard that NetEase is developing an online game called "Fantasy Westward Journey", right?" Lin Feng said.

Ding Lei nodded. This online game is also Ding Lei's value, but the process is not very smooth. Several members of the team have been hesitant in the face of poaching by other game companies. After all, Netease's current situation is too miserable, but Ding Lei can't make any promises. And there is no money on hand to maintain the development of the game. And the most important point is that "Second World" is currently the only player in the domestic online game industry, but Lin Feng has declared that he will not set foot in the concave turn-based online game market, causing other game companies that are unable to compete with "Second World" to invest in the turn-based online game market. This makes the market too competitive and Ding Lei has no confidence that "Fantasy Westward Journey" will be able to make money when it is released.

Hesitant Ding Lei came to Lin Feng because of this kind of hesitation.

"Committee Forestry, I also want to open the window to tell you the truth. I want you to invest in Netease and invest in "Fantasy Westward Journey." Ding Lei said sincerely after thinking for a long time.

Lin Feng felt happy when he heard this, and he has been waiting for Ding Lei's words. Yes, the current domestic turn-based online game market is indeed fiercer than ever because he released "Second World" and did not enter the turn-based online game market, but Lin Feng knows the prospect of "Fantasy Westward Journey" better than anyone else. At that time, "Fantasy Westward Journey" broke the record for the highest number of simultaneous online users. Of course, it is incomparable with the highest online record created by the "Second World" now, but there is no doubt that "Fantasy Westward Journey" is the king of the online game market in the concave round system.

Especially Chen Xiaowei and Lin Feng who thought of "The Ninth City" smiled coldly. It's time for this woman who has been making trouble for herself to give her a complete blow.

"Fantasy Westward Journey" is the best weapon to give it a complete blow.
