Chapter 710 President Pei's psychological warfare! (Happy birthday to my wife!)
Sunday afternoon, October 30.
Pei Qian was drinking coffee at the Moyu Internet Cafe while using his laptop to check the public opinion on the Internet.
Sure enough, after the club managers took back Tengda's regulations, they began to create public opinion on the Internet.
Starting from Friday night, some people on Weibo and forum revealed that Tengda is preparing for the GPL league, and correspondingly, there is also news that "it is suspected of Tengda's exploitation of the club."
Some of them are influential big Vs, and some of them look like naval leaders. They forwarded their respective messages one after another. The source of the news is no longer accurate, so naturally they don’t know which club it circulated.
The messages sent by these people are similar, and they are basically accompanied by the original text of the provision.
"Tengda established an e-sports business department, requiring each club to not sign contracts with players in private, and in the event of a dispute, it must accept Tengda's official mediation. Even the contract cannot be decided by the club and the players freely. It can only accept Tengda's unified standard terms. If the club does not accept this condition, it will not be able to obtain the GPL admission quota. Is this too unmannerable?"
"These clubs have paid and worked hard to organize the GOG World Invitational Tournament, and they have turned their backs on their faces?"
"The club and the official should have a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship, and both sides have their own areas of expertise. The official game should focus on improving the game content and ensuring the fairness and justice of the e-sports environment. Excessive intervention will only make the e-sports environment rigid!"
"To ensure the rights and interests of the clubs, only when the interests of major clubs are guaranteed can you participate in the GPL league without worries. Otherwise, the club may be wasted at any time. Which club dares to participate? This is a situation where players, spectators, and clubs lose together!"
"I think Tengda official should earnestly ensure the rights and interests of major clubs, respect the professionalism and accumulation of each club in the e-sports industry, and play different roles to ensure the healthy development of the domestic e-sports industry..."
Many people have reposted similar content, and the statements are similar.
It is nothing more than emphasizing that Tengda's GPL rules are numerous and excessive restrictions on clubs, which actually constitutes exploitation of clubs, which is not conducive to the healthy development of the entire e-sports industry. The clubs have joined forces to call for boycotting this phenomenon...
Many clubs naturally forwarded similar views and expressed concern about this.
It wasn't explicit, but there was an attitude.
And below these Weibo posts, players have different opinions.
Some people agree, some oppose, and some people just want to eat melons.
"After a look at this clause, I think Tengda's starting point is good. He wants to regulate the e-sports environment, but he doesn't think about it. What should I do if there is no club support? Clubs are partners, so we can't just squeeze them!"
"Yes, Tengda is obviously trying to squeeze out the clubs too hard for his own interests. Now, all the clubs have joined forces to oppose it. What else can GPL continue?"
"I think Tengda is too anxious, there is no need, so I have to give the club some space to survive."
"What are you talking about upstairs? Tengda doesn't hinder the club from making money. There are no restrictions on endorsements, competitions, sponsorships, and nothing is required. It just requires a standard contract and requires Tengda to undergo adjustments and supervision. Is this too much? Why do you react so fiercely?"
"This is all a good thing to regulate the industry, not to mention that I believe Mr. Pei, who must have a reason for Mr. Pei to do this!"
"Forget it, this is not a time to argue right or wrong. Both sides take a step back. Don't let everyone get out of Taiwan. Mr. Pei also needs other clubs to support the GPL to complete it, right?"
"Just children only distinguish right from wrong. Adults only look at interests. I think it is a bit too much to exploit the club like this. Give me a sweet date first and then take it slowly later."
"As a spectator, I don't care about these things. Anyway, the GPL league can be held quickly. I can't wait to watch the game!"
Obviously, there are some traces of naval army activities here, but they are relatively hidden and most people can't see it.
The reason why public opinion is not one-sided is that the club has loud voices and there are water troops involved, and on the other hand, it is that there are too few people paying attention to the rights and interests of players.
Because the domestic e-sports industry is just in its infancy, the contestants have just transitioned from the stage of eating instant noodles to the stage of having no worries about food and clothing. Many Internet-addicted teenagers have transformed into high-paying e-sports players.
Many people who are obsessing with melons do not think it is a miserable thing for them to be cheated by the contract.
You can get hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and millions of dollars in salary when you play games. You still yell at the same time that you are cheated. Are you shameless?
What's more, there are not many vicious contract disputes that have broken out yet.
Therefore, the vast majority of the people who were on the gossip did not realize the importance of this matter. When the navy on the club was slightly incited, they would feel that Tengda was making a big deal.
If it were someone else, there would definitely be troubles at this time, and I would be furious and I would have nowhere to vent my anger.
But Pei Qian was quite happy to see these public opinions.
It doesn’t matter whether you understand or not!
It is best to make the club feel that they are sure to win and sell all the GOG branches!
It’s just right to take this opportunity to take over all the GOG branches and slowly lose money. How much money will it cost to be spent in one go!
It's so happy to think about it.
So Pei Qian didn't plan to clarify anything at all, and even clarification would not have much effect.
Let the public opinion continue to ferment, and I will not suffer any loss anyway.
I was browsing the remarks on the Internet, and my phone was shocked. It was Zhang Yuan who called me.
"Mr. Pei, the heads of each club have been invited again, saying that they have fully communicated with their bosses, and hope to talk to us about the specific details of the cooperation."
"And, I hope you can be there when the conversation."
Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.
This is when the club managers saw that the public opinion had almost fermented, and felt that their attitude should have been loosened, so they wanted to talk about it and test their own tone.
Zhang Yuan's words did not keep his word, so he had to talk to Mr. Pei in person.
Pei Qian replied directly: "Tell them that today is Sunday and Tengda will not go to work. I will talk about anything on Monday afternoon."
Obviously, the public opinion is still a bit fermenting, and it will be harmless to wait for another day.
What's more, Pei Qian didn't lie. Tengda really didn't work on weekends. Pei Qian had nothing to do on weekends and had no problem brushing the web pages, but he had to meet and discuss work with these club managers?
Pei Qian really doesn't want to go.
...
On the other side of the phone, DGE Club.
Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment: "Okay Mr. Pei."
He turned around and looked at the club managers who came to the door: "Mr. Pei said that I won't go to work today on Sunday, so I'll come back at 2 pm on Monday. Sorry, I'll let you go for nothing."
Manager Li and the other managers looked at each other, and were silent for a long time before nodding: "Okay... OK, then let's wait for Mr. Pei to go to work and we'll come back."
After leaving DGE Club, Manager Li and others were all confused.
They came to the door on their own initiative today, but they felt that the public opinion had almost fermented. Mr. Pei probably realized the seriousness of the problem and could almost talk about it.
Give Mr. Pei a step forward. Since Mr. Pei is a smart person, he will definitely understand him instantly, go along with the rampant, and then the two sides will start friendly negotiations and take a step back...
However, the script didn't leave like this at all!
Everyone lowered their voices and discussed in a low voice.
“What’s the situation?”
"Manager Li, this situation is very different from what you expected..."
"President Pei is still in the mood to celebrate the weekend? The public opinion has fermented to this level. Do you really want to have another day?"
"Can't it be a mistake in the estimate? Mr. Pei doesn't care about this matter at all? Then, after we have done so much preliminary preparations, isn't it all in vain?"
"Not necessarily! I think Pei is always bluffing, deliberately extending the day, showing a look of not caring at all, so that he can get more chips when negotiating with us..."
"Well, it makes sense, so Mr. Pei only dares to delay one more day."
The club managers analyzed it, but no one was sure.
Because Mr. Pei’s move was really unreasonable and unpredictable.
In addition, Tengda itself occupies an absolute dominant position, which makes Mr. Pei's move seem more meaningful and has to make some in-depth interpretations.
Manager Li was also a little unsure, but he calmed down quickly and said in a deep voice: "Everyone doesn't have to scare yourself. Maybe Mr. Pei himself was unsure, so he deliberately released this smoke bomb to create psychological pressure on us."
"Everyone should do what they should do, Mr. Pei is not in a hurry, so why are we still in a hurry?"
"If you have any, let's go to the conference table to talk."
"As long as we unite and boycott Tengda, the victory will definitely belong to us!"
...
...
Monday, October 31.
Pei Qian slept until he woke up as usual, had lunch very calmly, and after playing games in the Moyu Internet Cafe for a while, he slowly went to the DGE Club.
Zhang Yuan made an appointment with these club managers at 2 pm, and Pei Qian deliberately was 15 minutes late.
In fact, there is no special reason. I just want to anger these club managers again.
When they get angry, they should simply sell the GOG branch, right?
Meanwhile, in the conference room of DGE Club.
The managers of each club were a little embarrassed.
What's the meaning?
It’s okay if we don’t see each other on Sunday. We made an appointment on Monday, but Mr. Pei was actually late?
It is said that Pei is always a punctual person?
Could it be that Mr. Pei is really so tough? He first postponed and then was late, and he was expressing his opinion to all clubs: If you dare to break up, then try it?
Manager Su vaguely felt a very bad feeling.
Manager Li of SUG was stern. He said that he could not collapse no matter what. If it collapsed, the other clubs would be timid in an instant, wouldn’t it be in vain?
What's more, Mr. Pei is mostly just bluffing like this, so he must not show his timidity.
Pei Qian came to the empty seat number at the conference table, looked around and never mentioned the lateness, but just smiled slightly: "Did everyone agree with the boss? If there is no problem, if you want to transfer the GOG branch club, please raise your hand, let's sign the transfer contract now."
The club managers were all stunned, and question marks floated from their heads.
???
Manager Li has a particularly large number of question marks on his head.
Everyone was stunned and almost thought that they had missed a meeting or had they lost their memory.
No, I promised to discuss it in detail today?
Before we started talking, we just made a pity that we wanted to sell?
Chapter completed!
