[Thank you and add more updates to the "Super Little Storm". There are also monthly tickets to update to the evening. Today, the amount is large and the amount is full]

——

Mid-October is coming, and fans and viewers from all over the country, as well as fans and viewers from all over the world have arrived in Shanghai one after another. Many young foreign players have come to China for the first time.

Thousands of migrant populations flocked to Shencheng, which also showed great economic growth in the region. The hotel room business has increased significantly during this period, and then the surrounding food and drinks.

There is a reason why leaders in Shencheng City attach importance to it. Such large-scale activities are quite effective in driving economic consumption, especially in the current economic winter environment, the country is stimulating domestic demand, and home appliances are going to the countryside.

2008 was a key node for China's economy to take off again, and it can be said to be the beginning of a major change unseen in a century.

This is all thanks to the foresight of the country. When the financial crisis broke out, China was able to get out of the economic quagmire. In addition to the trillions of dollars of water release, one of the important reasons is to stimulate domestic demand.

And this has a prerequisite. It is not only that Chinese people like storage, but the other key is that infrastructure construction has kept up. If you have money but can't spend it, it is another embarrassment.

Nowadays, cement roads have been opened in every village, and every household has electricity. If you have a car on the road, you can buy it. Only when you have electricity can you sell home appliances. The people have gradually become rich, so home appliances have a foundation to go to the countryside.

...

Foreigners who came to Shanghai a few days in advance started buying, buying, eating, and eating. For the various delicacies in China, foreigners who arrived for the first time seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

The first feeling that the consumption here gives Europeans and Americans is... It's so cheap and affordable, don't be too happy.

The Chinese people must be very upset when they hear it, but there is nothing they can do.

After all, they came here with the US dollar. The country needs to earn US dollars. After entering China, they have to exchange foreign exchange. 1,000 US dollars can be exchanged for more than 6,800 yuan. Most people come from afar and prepare a few thousand dollars. When they go to China, they can spend tens of thousands of yuan. They can stay in a star-rated hotel for a few days. There is no pressure to eat big fish and meat.

China is also happy to see this picture. There is no way. The country wants to make US dollars and use US dollars to buy oil, mineral resources and other commodities overseas to meet its own development. Moreover, when doing business abroad, people only recognize US dollars, especially oil delivery and settlement. Those countries that dare not use US dollars were fucked by the US aircraft carrier.

...

The preheating period finally ended with the arrival of October 15th, and the opening day of the first WRPO World No. 1 Player Championship is here.

The home stadium of the event is held in the large-scale building across the century in Shanghai, the "80,000-person Stadium", but it can only accommodate up to 56,000 seats, but it is also a huge venue.

Luo Sheng originally wanted to arrange the home venue of the first WRPO event in the capital Bird's Nest, but since the world-renowned Olympic Games had just been held, it was impossible to prepare for one or two months after the event.

However, it is not much worse to be established in the modern metropolis of Shencheng.

October 15th is Wednesday working day, and the opening ceremony is scheduled for 18:00 that evening. Everyone has already gotten off work and feel that they have time to follow the event on site or through online channels.

The WRPO event lasts for four days. The opening ceremony will be completed tonight and the competition will officially start tomorrow. The 16th and 17th will be Thursday and Friday, the group stage will be played on Saturday, the 18th and the semi-final knockout rounds, and the weekend of the 19th will be the finals.

The first two working days were on the secondary stage, and the last two weekends were on the main stage. The first WRPO No. 1 Player Competition had 12 competition events, including Warcraft 3, Star and CSS quarter-finals to the finals.

Other projects can only hold finals on the secondary stage. They have insufficient influence and certainly will not be too tilted. Moreover, the secondary stage is much higher-end than the main stage of other e-sports events. After all, this event brand is backed by large multinational technology groups like Bluestar Technology.

In today's e-sports field, Star, Warcraft and CSS are representatives, with the highest popularity and influence.

The wrpo operation department also depends on commercial benefits.

...

About 17:20 pm.

The audience who bought tickets have begun to enter the stadium through major intersections of the stadium. Many people came to attend the opening ceremony after work, and many people came to Linkin Park, the popular rock band in Europe and the United States.

A young Korean successfully passed the ticket verification channel and entered the "80,000" stadium, and was also shocked by the big scene in front of him.

Although I feel uncomfortable, I have to admit that Chinese people do have a good job of hosting big events. Needless to mention the Olympics some time ago, this height is simply difficult for other countries to hold in the future.

How can this surpass the 2008 Olympic Games?

If you don’t say anything else, your wallet won’t allow it.

In fact, there are still fighting online during this period. Domestic media and the majority of netizens sneered at Bangzi. It is rumored that the Koreans leaked the ignition ceremony of the Olympics. Everything is perfect, and the ignition ceremony has become a big regret.

It is not known whether the news is true or false.

The stadium with an attendance rate of 80,000 people is currently at 90%, and there are still people who have not arrived. More than 58,000 people have gathered here, and there are crowds of people.

It is worth mentioning that the number of seats in the 80,000 stadium is 56,000, but e-sports is different from ordinary sports. A-level seating areas have a large number of seats. The ticket price is as high as 1,500 yuan, and it has been sold out long ago. It was once speculated by scalpers to 2,000 yuan per piece.

In the middle of the stadium, there are six super-large high-definition giant screens, and from the bottom of the sky is an equilateral hexagon.

The main stage is a confrontation stage, including a main commentary stand in the backstage and multiple secondary commentary stands. Each major sub-segment zone has a dedicated secondary commentary stand, with all the infrastructures fully loaded and everything is available.

In addition, several special vehicles were already driven outside the stadium, which was the mobile operators setting up more mobile signal base stations around. Without them, the behind-the-scenes staff, the network here would become overcrowded, and even stuck to curse. This is not what the event parties want to see.

...

At around 17:35, the rock band Linkin Park quietly arrived at the stadium and entered the backstage.

At around 17:40, a luxury convoy arrived, and Wang Qiwei, the head of the wrpo business unit, had already come to greet him. When he saw the young man walking out of the car and surrounded by several personal bodyguards, Wang Qiwei couldn't help but take a small step and greet him.

It is Luo Sheng, the ultimate boss of Blue Star Technology Group, and the number one player in the minds of countless e-sports people.

"Mr. Luo..."

Wang Qiwei came with small steps, but the other party was a young man 10 or 20 years younger than him, but he did not dare to neglect at all.

Although this boss is young, he has a strong aura.

After getting off the car, Luo Sheng looked around aimlessly. This time, Qin Weimu did not follow him to Shencheng. In the past, Qin Weimu must have followed him, but this time it was not a business trip.

"I did a good job, thank you for your hard work." Luo Sheng withdrew his gaze and said casually.

"Where is it, this is the right thing to do." Wang Qiwei quickly replied with a smile: "Mr. Luo, please come here."

Luo Sheng nodded and followed Wang Qiwei. Some media who came here also captured Luo Sheng. After seeing the hottest technology giant appear, they quickly pressed the camera shutter and took photos crazily.

It was earlier rumored that Luo Sheng would appear online, but now it is a true story.

I didn't expect the founder to appear.

This has also made many people more interested in the e-sports industry, and they are very curious about why Luo Sheng is optimistic about this "small" industry.

...

"Mr. Luo!"

"Good evening, Mr. Luo!"

"Mr. Luo!"

Under the leadership of Wang Qiwei, Luo Sheng came to the backstage to watch the work progress and situation of the behind-the-scenes work team. This time, no one came up to take photos and took photos. Last time, many people lost their jobs because of this incident.

It's vivid in my mind.

Most people have seen the legendary boss up close for the first time, and some are excited and some are nervous. Most of the staff here are young people, and they are engaged in the field of e-sports. It is normal for them to be young.

But they looked at Luo Sheng directly without fighting, and were nervous when they saw the other party's eyes.

Nonsense, let's try it out.

This is an existence of the same level as legendary bosses like Gates and Bafette. He earned thousands or tens of thousands of monthly salary himself. He was a hot man but the boss of the boss of the boss, so it would be strange if he was not nervous.

"Mr. Luo, the first wrpo is expected to generally reach about 2 billion yuan in terms of operating income, and it is diluted to the operating expenditure budget. This year, it will probably lose about 50 million yuan." Wang Qiwei, who was following Luo Sheng, chatted.

"Have you made a total of 2 billion?" Luo Sheng was quite surprised and nodded in affirmation: "I did a good job. I thought it would be at most about 1.8 billion, and I would lose 200 million or 300 million."

As for the first session, he lost 50 million, Luo Sheng didn't care at all. In order to deploy the e-sports industry, more than 10 billion soft sister coins have been spent, and he still cares about this small 50 million?

What Luo Sheng cares about is revenue. As long as the revenue data is impressive, everything will be fine. The current losses will be paid for the entire market in the future.

"Well, if you continue to do it smoothly, you should be able to stop losses within five years. In 2013, you will be able to turn wrpo into profits and make a profit of 1 million yuan. However, the premise is that you cannot squeeze profits by suppressing budgets and expanding." Luo Sheng said, and the pressure from Wang Qiwei came up as soon as he said casually.

Is this considered the performance goal given by the ultimate boss?

Definitely counted!

And the real pressure is not a profit of 1 million, but the saying "You can't suppress budgets and expansions." This is too flexible. What kind of budgets and how much expansion is? There is no clear indicator, it depends on your own understanding.

Wang Qiwei has to admire the boss's leadership. It seems that a casual word can put you in a pressure and drive you to work hard.

There is no way. Who makes most Chinese people like to guess their boss’s thoughts? If you give a hard indicator, he will still guess because he doesn’t believe it.

OK, don’t you like to guess? Then I’ll be more flexible and you can think carefully about it yourself.

Luo Sheng was actually conservative, and he didn't say anything later, that is, to strive to earn back more than 10 billion in the early investment around 2017. In other words, his psychological expectation was that at this time point in 2017, the group company's investment in the e-sports industry was not considered inflation.

If this is said, Wang Qiwei may be crushed and might quit his job voluntarily, and this will be unsightly.

After watching in the background for a while, Luo Sheng left. He didn't want to affect the front-line staff here. He actually made many people a little nervous here, and if he was nervous, he might make mistakes.

During this period, Luo Sheng met with the North American rock band Linkin Park in the background and also had a simple chat.

Speaking of which, the organizer spent about $3.5 million in appearance fees this time, which is not cheap, but it is not very expensive and very reasonable.

Luo Sheng stayed in an office in the backstage for a few minutes, and Wang Qiwei briefly reported to him about the progress of his work.

Time flies very quickly, and only five minutes left before the opening ceremony officially begins. At this moment, nearly 58,900 people gathered in the 80,000 stadium, where the lights are brightly lit.

At this moment, viewers who were unable to come to the scene were also watching the live broadcast on TV or streaming video websites.

Bluestar Video website, a subsidiary of Bluestar Technology Group, has opened an e-sports live broadcast channel, but it adopts satellite live broadcast. Fortunately, the streaming media technology is strong, and the parent company provides technical and financial support, allowing netizens to enjoy the high-definition streaming live broadcast quality in this era.

As for live TV, this is only available abroad, such as South Korea's OGN TV.

But there is no such thing in mainland China, because the country has not been opened so far. These are all the sequelae brought about by the "Blue Ji Shu" Internet Cafe incident that year. In fact, even Yangshi Sports Channel has played e-sports-related programs before.

But a "Blue Pole" incident almost caused the just-starting e-sports industry in China to deal with a fatal blow, and it was even less accepted by mainstream voices.

Now that big names like Luo Sheng have come out to support e-sports in person, it has finally reversed some situations. However, in fact, Luo Sheng's reputation has been criticized by many parents in this regard, and World of Warcraft has also been criticized by "experts", and the media's rhythm has also been brought to Blue Star Technology.
