Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Chapter 119 Brother Xiao Ma takes action!
Zhao Zixuan's ambition is not just empty talk, he really wants to form an LPL professional team.

Unfortunately, Pei Yuhan only plays League of Legends occasionally and doesn't pay much attention to professional clubs.

But this is understandable. After all, it is only 2014 and the professionalization of e-sports has just begun. In the next few years, the glory and honor of LPL will truly begin to surface.

Let us go back to the summer of 2011, when the August sun shone on a shining star in the e-sports world.

Principal Wang, who is known as the national husband of e-sports, acquired the CCM Club, which was at the peak of the domestic e-sports industry at that time, with his unique vision and determination, thus laying a solid foundation for the rise of the IG Club.

Don’t ever think that e-sports is just a game for young people, or a pastime for the “rich second generation”.

The business landscape behind it has long crossed the age gap and penetrated into every corner of society. It is not just an entertainment activity, but also an emerging industry full of opportunities and challenges, attracting countless people with dreams and talents to join in.

In the next few years, after in-depth analysis by well-known angel investment institutions, the e-sports industry presents a striking phenomenon:

It attracts 1.7 million viewers every month and will grow at a double-digit rate over the next five years.

It is particularly worth mentioning that my country plays a leading role in the global e-sports industry and is expected to continue to lead with a compound growth rate of more than 20% in the next five years.

In this prosperous land of e-sports, the number of game users is huge.

According to statistics from the China Internet Network Information Center, as of the end of 2017, the total number of game players in my country had reached 4.42 million, accounting for half of the total number of Internet users, or 57.2%.

Newzoo even predicts that by 2018, the overall revenue of my country's e-sports industry will account for one-third of the global e-sports industry.

This data not only demonstrates the strong strength of my country's e-sports industry, but also indicates its huge development potential.

As the e-sports industry in mainland China gradually emerged, 2016 became a key turning point for the industry.

That year, the relevant departments issued an important document, advocating "on the premise of ensuring intellectual property protection and correct guidance of young people, encouraging enterprises to take the lead in organizing national or international e-sports gaming and entertainment events."

At the same time, the Ministry of Education has also kept up with the trend and formally incorporated e-sports majors into the higher education system, injecting more academic color into this emerging industry.

Under such policy background, e-sports infrastructure has sprung up everywhere and has received strong support from local governments.

In this historical process, Principal Wang, with his keen business sense, has long seen the huge potential of the e-sports industry.

At first, relying on the 5 million yuan of funds given by his father Wang Jianlin, he resolutely stepped into this field full of unknowns and opportunities.

According to Qichacha data, Principal Wang’s Pusi Capital later invested in no less than 8 game companies, including Forgame Holdings, Chuangmeng Tiandi, ImbaTV, Titan Technology, Wangyu Internet Cafe and other industry leaders.

These precise investments not only helped Principal Wang accumulate a large amount of wealth, but also enabled his wealth to grow dramatically in a short period of time.

According to data released by Hurun, as of 2017, Principal Wang’s net worth had reached a staggering 63 billion yuan, a full 5 times increase compared to the 12 million yuan initially given by Wang Jianlin!
Although Principal Wang later encountered some setbacks, owed huge debts, and was even nearly included in the list of dishonest persons, all this could not conceal his outstanding investment vision and business structure that was ahead of his time.

His story has become a legend in the e-sports industry and has become a role model for countless followers.

With such a big cake of fame and fortune in front of him, and Zhao Zixuan having a higher vision and foresight than Principal Wang, he has no reason not to step in and stir up the situation.

What's more, investing in the e-sports industry now does not require too much money. You can make a fortune by just pouring some money into it.

Zhao Zixuan vaguely remembered that the JDG club was from the imperial capital, and the predecessor of JDG was the QG club. However, he searched the Internet for a long time but could not find any information about the QG club. He guessed that the club might not have been established yet.

"Yuhan, have you heard of the QG Club?"

He casually asked the beautiful white-haired girl beside him.

Pei Yuhan frowned, as if searching for this unfamiliar name in her memory, "QG Club? I haven't heard of it. Is it famous?"

Zhao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Well, can you help me check if there are any famous professional teams in the capital."

Pei Yuhan's eyes widened, her surprise evident in her words, "Boss, are you really planning to form a professional team? But how would I know this? I only play games occasionally, I don't know anything about professional games!"

Zhao Zixuan held his chin up, thought for a moment and then said, "Well, you pay attention to the League of Legends City Championship, see which imperial capital champion teams have won in recent years, and then compile a detailed information for me. Can you do it?"

Pei Yuhan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she rolled her eyes mischievously, "Is this a special task for me? Then can I not come to the company to punch in for work these few days?"

Zhao Zixuan pretended to be surprised and asked, "Does our company still have a rule of clocking in for work?"

Pei Yuhan curled her lips and said, "Of course I do. It's so annoying. It forces me to get up early every day and I can't even sleep in."

"Then let's cancel the clock-in system." Zhao Zixuan had personally experienced the ups and downs of the workplace and knew well the inhumanity of this rule.

A true place of innovation does not rely on strict management to restrain people's hearts, but allows employees to regard the company as a spiritual harbor, allowing them to devote themselves to work with a smile and full of enthusiasm, rather than mechanically punching in and out every day as if they were going to a execution ground.

"Boss, are you kidding me?"

There was a hint of disbelief in Pei Yuhan's tone, but how could she doubt the boss's decision?

He is Zhao Zixuan, the soul of Heguang Technology. His words are trustworthy and he is deeply trusted and respected by his employees.

"Of course, effective immediately."

Zhao Zixuan spoke in a firm tone, then took out his phone and posted an important notice in the company's WeChat group. - Everyone cancels the clock-in system, effective immediately.

As the news came out, the company was in an uproar, and most employees cheered as if they had won long-lost freedom.

Of course, there are also some worried faces who are concerned that overly loose management will lead to chaos in the company.

But Zhao Zixuan knows very well that true team spirit is not maintained by a punch-in system, but comes from everyone's inner sense of belonging and responsibility.

Zhao Zixuan hopes that all employees of Heguang Technology will regard the company as their second home and go to and from get off work with a happy mood every day, instead of going to work with a sad face as if going to a grave.

Speaking of this, Zhao Zixuan suddenly thought of a joke.

Boss: Since the company is your home, you can take care of your food and accommodation in the company. Work hard, and I will try to buy a Ferrari next year.

Employee: Since the company is my home, can I come and go as I please? I can do whatever I want at home, and no one can stop me!

Different interests lead to different perspectives on issues.

Zhao Zixuan is not the kind of capitalist who will do anything for his own benefit. As long as the general direction is correct, he can turn a blind eye to many small problems and faults in the company.

Just be happy.

As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy!
Afterwards, Pei Yuhan accepted the task happily and left the company with great expectations.

Zhao Zixuan did not stay for long. After a brief exchange with the company's senior management, he shared lunch in the cafeteria with his colleagues and experienced the company's daily meals firsthand.

The overall feeling is not bad. Although it is not the most delicious food, it is edible and can fill your stomach.

In the afternoon, he returned to the hotel and indulged in a sweet nap.

After waking up, he planned to go out and buy some supplements, intending to give them to Cheng Yuhua when he visited her at Jinqiu Home in the evening.

However, the vibration of his cell phone broke his tranquility.

Dozens of missed calls were displayed on the screen, most of which were from the company's employees, like death spells.

He casually glanced at the company's group chat and found out why there were so many missed calls.

It turned out that during his sleep, a large number of professional trolls suddenly emerged on the Internet, and all kinds of articles and jokes criticizing Heguang Technology came flooding in like a tide, as if Heguang Technology had committed a heinous crime that aroused public outrage.

Zhao Zixuan saw through the mastermind behind these copywritings at a glance, but he was not satisfied with his own guess.

So he got up and left the hotel and went to the new company of Heguang Technology again.

As soon as Zhao Zixuan stepped into the company's gate, he attracted everyone's attention like a whirlwind, and everyone followed him.

Luo Feng was straightforward and spoke eagerly: "Director Zhao, you are finally here. The company is in big trouble now!"

Liu Lei followed closely behind, his voice slightly nervous: "Mr. Zhao, you have to think of a solution. Our daily active user numbers are declining rapidly. If this continues... Sigh!"

Zhao Zixuan walked forward steadily and calmly, his eyes scanning everyone's faces one by one, catching the anxiety and uneasiness in their eyes.

He responded nonchalantly, "Why panic? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Find someone to tell me the details."

Afterwards, a group of executives surrounded Zhao Zixuan and walked into the solemn conference room. Luo Feng followed closely behind and told him about the sudden turmoil that had occurred in the afternoon.

Not long ago, an article titled "Public Announcement of Evidence Related to Heguang Technology's Suspected Theft of User Privacy and Repeated Fraud" swept through major online forums like a storm, causing an uproar.

The article is sharply worded and directly points out the privacy leakage issues of three short video apps under Heguang Technology.

For a time, various complaints and reports came in like snowflakes, the number of new users of the three apps dropped sharply, and the number of daily active users also dropped by more than half.

Advertisers came to withdraw their investments one after another, and Heguang Technology's reputation plummeted in just half a day. It became the target of public criticism and was subjected to countless denigration and slander.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely solemn at this moment. Everyone's eyes were focused on the young but calm Zhao Zixuan, expecting him to come up with a solution.

"Mr. Zhao, how should we respond now? If we can't reverse the negative public opinion on the Internet in time, I'm afraid our three apps will suffer a major blow."

Huang Youwei said anxiously.

She has witnessed the growth of Heguang Technology with her own eyes. At this moment, the company is at a critical juncture, but it is facing an unprecedented crisis.

If handled improperly, Heguang Technology could suffer a devastating blow.

Zhao Zixuan remained calm and analyzed the situation calmly amid everyone's anxious gazes.

"Don't panic too much. I think this is probably a sinister move by Teng Xun. Their purpose is obvious, which is to pave the way for their own Weishi APP."

When they heard that it was Teng Xun who was behind it, everyone became even more confused.

That is one of the most powerful Internet giants in the country!
