If coupled with his strong push, then this process may be greatly shortened!
This can be regarded as his old game player, a little contribution to the domestic game industry, after all, he has this ability now.
"Solve parents' concerns, or at least let everyone know that playing games is not useless. Maybe your child will become a big star in the future, or even win glory for the country by playing games in the Asian Games and Olympics. !
Then, if the public opinion is relieved, the state will take action to support this industry.The urban positioning of Shanghai Magic City has always been an international metropolis, and the title of e-sports capital must be satisfied by the city government. "Yu Wenfei chuckled lightly.
"But...improving public opinion is a long-term process. Will the city government help us now?" Effie asked. Yu Wenfei's plan looks good in the long run, but the current practical problem has not been resolved yet.
That is how to get the approval of the city government now, and incorporate the "e-sports capital" plan into the city government's urban planning!
"This is the second step I want to talk about! The competition we want to hold is a very large-scale e-sports competition, which may cause a sensation in the global gaming circle. The influence is enough, but after all, the game is relatively popular in China. Embarrassing, the city government may not dare to take risks, right?" Yu Wenfei said.
Effie nodded again and again, yes, this is a key issue, if the city government doesn't approve of Facebook Games' "E-Sports Capital" plan, it will still be a big trouble.
"What if you link e-sports competitions with public welfare? By selling skins and opening boxes in the game, the amount you get will probably exceed your imagination. All this money is used for competition bonuses, which is a bit too much to be honest, especially in this Then, we will take half of the money from selling boxes and skins for public welfare activities! Do you think the city government will strongly support it! Besides, does the public opinion in the society dare to criticize our game competition?" Yu Wenfei Seriously.
Effie slapped her leg excitedly, grinning in pain, what a stroke of genius!
Linking e-sports competitions with public welfare, half of every penny spent by gamers is used for charity!
Who dares to attack this kind of behavior!
And the city government has an aboveboard reason to support the Facebook game.
Thinking deeper, there is another potential benefit.
If it is not linked to public welfare, many game players may feel psychological pressure when they spend money to open the box.
Because everyone is not used to in-game consumption, the game itself has bought a genuine version, and now you have to spend money for the skin, some people may still be a little bit resistant.
In other words, the kind of college and high school students who have no financial resources dare not let their parents know about it.
But now, every player will feel at ease and confident when opening the box with money. I am not for playing games, but for public welfare!
It is conceivable that the players who were hesitant in the past should not hesitate to open the box now.
And the funds raised by opening the box will increase by several percent invisibly!
"Now that you are in this position, when you look at problems, you should have a bigger picture. Don't be limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place, but start from the perspective of the industry, society, and even the world, and learn to make good use of all resources." Finally, Yu Wenfei The conversation ended meaningfully.
………………
After coming out of Yuwenfei's office, on the way back to the Facebook game office building, Effie was in a trance.
Today's conversation had a great impact on her!
She realized her own shortcomings, that is, she is good at the "tactical" level, and she is handy in organizing an event, planning, etc., and the results are not bad.
But when it rises to the level of "strategy", it is relatively lacking. As Yu Wenfei said, the structure is not big enough, and the vision is not far enough.
As for Yu Wenfei, that's not at the "strategic" level anymore, and people's considerations are all at the "war" level!
I have to work harder, otherwise, I'm really sorry for Mr. Fei's support and trust in me.
Effie sighed and quickened his pace.
………………
"What the hell? How did it happen?"
In Seoul, Park Hoe-sung, the owner of the e-sports tournament company that operates WCG, was stunned.
On the desk in front of him were two business letters.
They were sent by Facebook Games North America Company and Facebook Games Mainland Headquarters respectively.
In the business letter from Facebook Games North America, they were notified that from now on, the WCG game event operation authorization will be cancelled. The games involved include Half-Life, Warcraft, and StarCraft.
This made Pu Huicheng feel like a thunderbolt, without these three games, WCG is still playing a fart!
Although WCG has five to six events every year, the other two or three games are completely extra!
The audience came for Half-Life, Warcraft and StarCraft. Now that these three games are gone, it is conceivable that WCG also exists in name only.
However, after seeing the business letter sent by Facebook Game's mainland headquarters, Park Huicheng's expression changed again, because it was a purchase offer!
Facebook Games is buying his company!
Well, with the two business letters put together, Pu Huicheng now understands that he has no choice.
Chapter 652 The box goes online
Perhaps Effie is not outstanding enough in terms of the overall situation and height, but in terms of execution, she is still very good.
Throughout the middle and late September, she led the team vigorously and resolutely, and achieved a series of victories.
September NO.18, Facebook Games acquired the WCG event brand and its operating company at a price of 200 million US dollars.The newly established "E-sports Division" within the company formally entered the e-sports industry.The original WCG operating company team was merged into the Facebook game as a whole, responsible for the organization of future events.
September NO.20, Facebook Game and Project Hope Foundation reached a cooperation. Half of the 2003 WCG commemorative edition skin sales will be donated to Project Hope, which will be used to build Hope Primary Schools, libraries, train rural teachers, and improve the quality of life for students in mountainous areas. Diet and nutrition etc.
Moreover, Facebook Games promised a guarantee amount of 500 million US dollars in the cooperation agreement. That is to say, if the sales of the commemorative edition skins are not good, Facebook Games will make up for the part that is less than 500 million US dollars.If it exceeds 500 million, there is no upper limit on the donation amount!
On September 25th, not many people paid attention to it, and the Magic City government issued a document to the relevant departments.The city positioning of Shanghai Magic City has added an "e-sports capital". In order to make the city image of Shanghai Magic City younger and more popular with the younger generation, Shanghai Magic City will actively promote and support the development of the game and e-sports industry.
On September 28, Facebook Game Mainland Headquarters and the North American company jointly issued an announcement. The 2003 WCG will start the global selection competition in December, and the global finals will be held in Shanghai at the end of December. The prize money of this competition will also be unprecedentedly rich!
........................
The Facebook game announcement caused a sensation in the game circle.
"WCG was acquired by Facebook? The bonus is unprecedentedly generous?! Damn! Originally, our CPL just got a big sponsorship this year, and we said that we would overwhelm WCG!" The boss of the CPL operation company said angrily.
CPL is operated by a company in North America, and it is also well-known in the world. It is listed as the world's two major e-sports events along with WCG, and it has been established longer than WCG.
This year, the CPL operating company just got a sponsorship of up to 80 US dollars from Hewlett-Packard Computer Company.
Of course, the industry is no stranger to Facebook games. This is the parent company of Valve and Blizzard!
Notoriously rich and powerful, there is no one in the European and American game circles who does not know the Facebook game platform, and no one has not used this platform.
Obviously, this year's WCG, the prize money will be extremely generous.
But it is strange that in this announcement, the Facebook game did not specify how many bonuses there are.
When some game journalists inquired through personal relationships, they did not get an accurate reply. People from Facebook all said mysteriously that this number is unknown now, but the number will be unexpectedly high!
CPL can't hold back anymore, and NO.30 took the lead in making a high-profile announcement in September, announcing that the total bonus of CPL this year will reach a million dollars!
