Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

The league is booming here.

In less than half a year, the World Supernatural League has become the most valuable league.

The value of the North American Storm team has also increased.

But contrary to the market valuation, the performance of the North American Storm team.

After winning the first game, he lost three consecutive games.

There is no way, the strength of the North American Storm team is already below average in the league.

But the value of the North American Storm is increasing day by day.

Various advertisers and sponsors came one after another.

It's like they didn't see the North American Storm lose.

Of course, the North American Storm team is not only weak in strength.

The main reason is that the opponents ranked in the draw are strong.

The two Chinese teams and the European Scarlet Team tortured the North American Storm team to their death.

Chen Zhao couldn't help it, the difference in strength was too big.

Unless Chen Zhao cheats them all.

Otherwise, the obvious gap in strength cannot be made up by tactics or occasional outbursts.

In the past six months, Chen Zhao has also been very busy, running almost all of his time in various competition areas.

Three competition venues have been added, each with its own characteristics.

This also makes the game more interesting.

It can be said that every money invested now can bring amazing returns.

And it’s a bonus period right now, so almost every fight is without a loss.

Even teams with poor performance still have many sponsors who spend money to sponsor the title.

However, at the beginning of the fifth game, the North American Storm ushered in a wave of improvement in performance, winning two more games in succession.

…

"President, there is some movement in the psychic team. Do you have time?" West said.

"What's going on?" Chen Zhao asked, holding the phone.

"They discovered an ancient ruin and have been excavating the ancient ruins recently. Their specific purpose is still unknown."

"Is there any news from Belst?"

"No, he said that only Vistana knew what their purpose was, and Vistana didn't reveal to anyone what they were going to dig up."

The Occult Society and the Psychic Team have maintained a semblance of peace for a long time.

The psychic team is considered an enemy supported by the Supernatural Association.

But now the strength of the psychic team has begun to gradually grow.

On the one hand is Vistana's ability.

Furthermore, it is also the reason for the arrival of the spiritual energy tide.

Many people's strength has increased to varying degrees.

This is obviously not in line with the interests and needs of the Supernatural Association.

The current psychic team is not enough to threaten the Supernatural Society.

But the psychic team is getting closer and closer to that red line.

So both Chen Zhao and West began to be alert.

Once the strength of the psychic team reaches or exceeds that red line.

Then the Supernatural Society will find an excuse to start a war against the psychic team.

Nip the threat in the bud and avoid raising tigers.

"Beerst suspected that there was some unknown power within the ancient ruins. Vistana was always in a state of excitement during the excavation process."

"Can we investigate and find out what era that ancient ruins are from?"

"I can't find it. I've searched all the documents I can find. There's no information about ancient ruins."

"Then let's take a look first. If they really have something big to gain, then snipe them and plunder their loot." Chen Zhao said.

"Okay, now that we've finished talking about business matters, let's talk about some personal matters. President, does the North American Storm Team have any plans to go public?"

Chen Zhao was a little surprised that West would actually talk to him about this.

But since West asked, Chen Zhao had nothing to hide.

"have."

The North American Storm team is now very valuable. Only half a year after its establishment, it has already achieved profitability and has even recovered 60% of its investment.

With a market valuation of over $1.5 billion, investors are very optimistic about the prospects of the North American Storm.

Chen Zhao and Steven's plan is to harvest another wave of leeks on the stock market.

The North American Storm's current valuation is not due to performance, but because of the support of the North American market. This is also a dividend brought by the market environment.

"When it comes to the market, give me an accurate time. I plan to buy a lot."

"It will probably be next year, when the fourth quarter financial report comes out." Chen Zhao said.

The more beautiful the financial statements are, the higher the valuation will be and the higher the market enthusiasm will be.

Although the results of a blind listing are certainly not bad, they will ultimately fail to meet expectations.

"By the way, I will take the Storm team members out to sea to relax on the weekend. Do you want to come over?"

"Forget it, President, leave everything to me. I'm so busy right now that I can't even touch my heels."

"Are you slandering me? It's obviously you who said that I don't need to be responsible for regular tasks, and I don't need to manage the chores within the association. When you went out to travel, I was the one who solved all the tasks that had accumulated for a year. Lost."

"That's not a tour, it's an exchange meeting."

"It's all the same. Are you really not coming?"

"At least I won't be able to get around to it until I get rid of some troublesome tasks."

…

The wind and waves on the sea can always make people forget their worries quickly.

Seagulls flew overhead and, if you were unlucky, dropped a lump of cake onto the yacht.

More than a dozen official members of the North American Storm Team are vacationing on Chen Zhao's yacht right now.

The preseason is over and they have a month to relax.

They got the last ticket to the playoffs.

This also completes the plan for the first season.

As for the final ranking in the playoffs.

In Chen Zhao's words, that is to do your best and obey fate.

The first season always left a lot to be desired.

For example, there were two regular players who thought they had become famous, so they could be arrogant, violate team rules, and disobey Chen Zhao's orders. As a result, they were directly terminated by Chen Zhao and expelled from the league. They will be taken to court later.

This is also a way for Chen Zhao to establish his authority, even if Chen Zhao only plans to coach for one season.

But Chen Zhao is also the second largest shareholder of the Storm, and Chen Zhao doesn't like people who are disobedient.

"Shiro Shiro, are you sure? Starting next season, you will be the coach of the Storm." Chen Zhao and Shiro Shiro were chatting in front of the railing on the deck.

"Coach, I'm not sure I can do this job."

"You see, I have coached for a season with no experience. At the management level, I will give you the greatest help. Next season, you will be mainly responsible for training and leading the team. There will be no personnel changes in the new season. You are familiar with everyone in the team, and I believe you can do a good job."

"Is this a formal appointment?"

"As for the contract, you can ask your agent to talk to the Stormers department manager. I'm just confirming your intention."

"Before that, I still have some private matters that need to be handled. I can't give you an answer until I finish handling the private matters."

"Can you tell me what it is?"
