If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Not only Liu Jia, Wu Hao, Ren Jun and other classmates of Li Yuan were discussing it enthusiastically, but the entire freshman class was also discussing it.

In the girls' dormitory, Fang Yanni looked at Wang Jierong who was in a daze and asked:

"Wow, Li Yuan is really generous. Jierong, will you participate?"

Wang Jierong looked at the promotional slogans of "Honor of Kings" on major websites and felt uncomfortable and inexplicable.

Ever since that time in the buffet restaurant when she forced Li Yuan to have a special and strange contact, Li Yuan never had any dealings with her again. Whenever he saw her, he would turn around and walk away, as if he was deliberately avoiding her and was very cold.

This also made her feel frustrated. She had done all that, but Li Yuan was as cold as iron and did not give her any chance at all.

This period of time also made her realize clearly that it was probably impossible for her to truly get Li Yuan in this lifetime.

It was already a great opportunity to measure Li Yuan's size with my own eyes and taste the flavor of his body.

Sometimes, she was so angry that she wanted to tell everyone what happened that day to retaliate against Li Yuan and ruin his reputation. Who made him treat her like that?

However, she thought about it for a long time and ultimately did not take any action because she did not dare.

Li Yuan is now very famous, has many fans, and is very rich. More importantly, Li Yuan has a good relationship with the executive vice president Ma Tengfei...

She was very worried that if she really exposed this matter and discredited Li Yuan, she herself might be expelled from school...

In the end, she thought about it for a long time and decided that this was the only way to go and she should stop having such wishful thinking.

There is no way that the ugly duckling can turn into a phoenix.

Wang Jierong felt mixed emotions and glanced at Fang Yanni who looked excited.
She knew that her roommate also loved playing Honor of Kings, and was a very good mage, having reached the diamond rank. During the winter vacation, she had played duo matches with him many times, and Fang Yanni led the way every time...

"Jenny, do you want to join?"

Fang Yanni nodded and said as a matter of course: "Of course, such a good opportunity, I must participate."

"Hehe, the prize money is so high. If I win the prize, I will definitely be very successful."

“I feel like my game is pretty good and this game is really fun.”

"Li Yuan is also very generous and considerate. He specially divided us into male and female groups. We don't need to compete with boys, as long as we compete with girls, I am still quite confident."

"Jie Rong, you should join us too. We will form a team in the dormitory and you can assist me. We are sure to win a place."

Listening to Fang Yanni talking nonstop, Wang Jierong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

She is quite interested in this national competition, which has such a high prize money.

Moreover, in the promotion of the "King of Glory" national competition, Li Yuan will hold a concert at the final, and the concert tickets will be drawn from all participating teams, which makes Li Yuan's fans go crazy...

"Well, fine, I'll join in, too."

……

As the news spread, the entire internet began to boil over with discussions everywhere. It was a hundred times more lively than the last "Milk Tea Sister" selection event.

Only a very small number of girls who are confident in their looks participate in the "Milk Tea Sister" selection, and the prize money is not that exaggerated.

This time the "Honor of Kings" competition is different. It is a nationwide competition. No matter men, women, young or old, as long as they are good at the game, they can sign up and win big prizes.

In order to prevent cheating, Li Yuan has also made corresponding preparations. Real-name authentication is required with an ID card before registration. If the ID card and the person do not match, the qualification for the competition will be directly revoked during the qualification review.

[Sisters, check out the internet. Xia Hua's company has released another explosive piece of news. Xia Hua is going to host a national tournament for King of Glory. Ah, I want to participate. Are there any of you who want to join me?]

[“King of Glory” National Championship? What the hell is this? I’m here to participate. 】

[Fuck, is this true? The prize money is 2000 million. Xia Hua is so generous. He gave out 2000 million for a game. If he can win the national championship, he will earn millions.]

[That's not right. This is Xia Hua, a male god worth tens of billions. Taking out 2000 million is as simple as buying a pair of shoes for us. Let's not talk about this. Just one sentence. Do you want to participate or not? ]

[We must participate. Hehe, maybe we can win a prize. Even if we don’t win, it’s not bad to be selected to participate in the finals.]

[If we register by province, city, or county, then those of us in the same dormitory won’t be able to compete together. We can only compete with our high school and junior high school classmates. This is a bit troublesome. I was thinking that we could register together as a dormitory…]

[Actually, this is normal. It is more reasonable to register according to ID cards. If you can form a team at will, it would be too troublesome. ]

[It's not that troublesome. If you form a team randomly, you can have a knockout match and use a points elimination system. That's fine. ]

[Haha, you sound easy, but with so many applicants, it would be a lot of trouble and a huge workload. It would take half a year to finish the competition. I feel that the current competition method proposed by Xia Hua is very reasonable.]

[It's not fair at all. There are so many universities and so many people in Shanghai, how many people have to sign up, while there are only so many people in Xinjiang Province? It's not fair at all.]

[Haha, no matter how many people there are in Shanghai, can they be more than the people in Zhongyuan Province? Besides, what does it matter if there are more universities? The competition areas are not divided by universities, but by ID cards. You are from Heilongjiang Province, right? Then you can only participate in Heilongjiang Province. ]

[It’s too troublesome. Whoever wants to participate in this kind of crappy game can do so. I won’t participate anyway.]

[Asshole, I can see that you are Xia Hua's hater, block you and report you. ]

……

After the news was released, discussions on the Internet were in full swing, with both positive and negative comments.

There is no need to talk about the positive aspects, most of the discussions are about the game itself.

Most of the negative reviews questioned the game's system and fairness.

For a while, the entire Internet was discussing the "King of Glory" national championship, occupying the front page headlines of major websites...

……

In the company,
Li Yuan couldn't help but smile as he watched the debate on the Internet.

In this kind of situation, no matter what competition it is, even the Olympics, there will be people saying that it is unfair and the competition system is unreasonable, not to mention that it is just a competition plan hastily come up with by a few people.

There is no such thing as fairness or unfairness. As long as we can maintain relative fairness, that’s enough.

He is not a god, and he feels that he has considered everything carefully enough.

He had invested a lot in this competition. The prize money alone was 2000 million, not to mention the cost of hosting the competition. Even if there was advertising sponsorship, it would be hard to say. He might have to compete in provincial competitions to get some sponsorship...

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the office door.

Li Yuan raised his head calmly: "Come in!" Lin Yuwei swayed her body and walked in with a smile to report.

"Mr. Li, our backend data has come out. 12 hours after the release of the King of Glory National Championship, our daily sales increased significantly, exceeding 1.38 million, reaching 2 million. Today's daily sales will reach a new high of million without any problem."

Lin Yuwei was still very shocked when she saw this number, and she deeply admired Li Yuan's clever methods.

You have to know that the prize money and the cost of organizing the "Honor of Kings" national championship this time, added together, is only about 40 to 50 million yuan at most.

But after the news of the national championship was released, the profits exceeded the cost of the entire competition in just half a day.

This is only half a day, and the entire competition will last for more than half a month.

When Li Yuan heard the numbers reported by Lin Yuwei, his body couldn't help but tremble, feeling that they were exaggerated.

This way of making money without doing anything is a hundred times faster than robbing a bank.

Even if the bank opens its doors and allows you to rob, how much can you steal in twelve hours?
And he made 12 million in just 1.38 hours, what a speed and what a way of making money.

He could only say that online games were making damned huge profits.

"Boss Lin, tell me, in what aspects have you suddenly improved so much?"

Lin Yuwei already had a plan in mind, and she had already studied the feedback data.

"Mr. Li, it's mainly because of the increased sales of heroes, skins, and inscriptions. In this competition, the contestants used their own accounts. Some of the contestants' accounts didn't have complete inscriptions, or they didn't buy their favorite hero skins. So they took advantage of the popularity of this game and bought them..."

Listening to Lin Yuwei's explanation, Li Yuan smiled and nodded. This was the result he wanted to see.

Before the competition plan was officially released, he had debated with Zhong Tingyue and other company backbones about the format of the competition.

Zhong Tingyue believes that the company should officially provide a unified account with full heroes, full inscriptions, and full skins, so as to reflect fairness and justice.

Li Yuan's opinion was completely different.

He believes that this is just a game competition, and the ultimate goal is to make money and to increase the influence of "Honor of Kings" and the participation of game enthusiasts.

If you use your own account, it will be more difficult to forge information and it will also increase the sales of Honor of Kings.

As a game player, he knows very well that many players don't buy many heroes, don't have complete inscriptions, and are even reluctant to spend dozens of dollars to buy skins. They are pure free players...

It’s not that free players are useless, but for the company, the more paying players the better.

He doesn't play this game for fun, but essentially, to make money.

In the end, it was Li Yuan who convinced Zhong Tingyue to agree to his way of playing.

And the result, from Lin Yuwei's report just now, has proved that his decision was correct.

For this competition, free players also started spending real money to buy inscriptions, skins, and heroes, which directly led to a significant increase in game sales.

A few days ago, the daily sales of "Honor of Kings" has dropped to more than 1000 million and continues to decline.

This situation is actually very normal in the gaming industry. Sales are always the highest at the beginning, or when new activities or new skins appear, profits are the highest, and then they will gradually decrease...

The profits that can be brought by hosting this competition are sustainable, and the popularity will last for at least one month.

All in all, Li Yuan made a lot of money by hosting this "Honor of Kings" national championship.

"Good. Keep paying attention and compile statistics and analyze the data from these days."

……

比赛的报名时间，是2009年2月13到2月16，一共三天的时间。

Starting from the 2th day of the first lunar month, which is February 10th, the daily profit level of "Honor of Kings" has been counted.

On February 2, the 10-hour data was 24 million.

On February 2, the 11-hour data was 24 million.

February 2. The 12-hour data is 24 million.

In just three days, which was just the warm-up time before registration, the game "Honor of Kings" brought Li Yuan a revenue of 8 million yuan.

When seeing this number, not to mention Zhong Tingyue, Lin Yuwei and others, even Li Yuan himself was shocked.

After careful consideration, Li Yuan felt that this number was not too exaggerated.

You know, during the peak period of "Honor of Kings", Zhao Yun's mecha skin alone earned more than 100 million yuan in one day, which is much more exaggerated than this.

Of course, PC games and mobile games cannot be compared.

However, "Honor of Kings" has just been released, and there are many things to purchase. Each of the first batch of 36 heroes has one to three skins, plus you have to buy inscriptions, which doesn't add up to much.

In the Galaxy Bay Villa,

After playing a friendly game of double billiards and basketball with Zhong Tingyue, Li Yuan accurately shot the black eight into the heart.

The two were discussing the status of the two main products, "Honor of Kings" and "Cha Yan Yue Se".

"Hehe, senior, making games is still more profitable. It makes much more money than making milk tea. Making 800 million in three days is really too exaggerated."

Li Yuan laughed, stretched, and asked, "How is the milk tea shop doing these days?"

During the past three days, he has only been paying attention to the national championship of "Honor of Kings". He has also been honing his skills, getting familiar with a certain music, and preparing to find Xiaoyuer in the Northern Capital. He has not paid much attention to the expansion of the "Cha Yan Yue Se" milk tea shop.

Various matters concerning "Cha Yan Yue Se", such as selecting a new store site, recruiting staff, etc., have basically been handled by Zhong Tingyue in recent days.

Zhong Tingyue lay in Li Yuan's arms, feeling his strong arms, feeling doubly satisfied both mentally and physically.

"The sites in Hangzhou, Jinling, Shenzhen and other cities have been selected, and the preliminary contracts have been signed. We are waiting for the funds to be deposited, and then we can start the decoration..."

After Zhong Tingyue finished speaking, she suddenly paused and her tone became more serious.

"Next, I plan to go to Su City..."
