146: The key is... the bonus

Then, let this group of professional players participate in the competition.

Do you all understand now?

"So, it's about letting everyone play games and compete?"

"Some games used to have online competitions too. It doesn't seem that special."

"I know what you mean, but finding so many e-sports players isn't easy."

Xu Lian heard their replies, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "We don't need to personally search for these players; they will proactively come to us.

We only need to provide the venue and equipment, and the key is... the prize money!"

Prize money is, of course, the most important! Without sufficiently attractive rewards, who would be willing to participate?

This is, of course, just the beginning. Once the scale grows, and we gain fame and traffic, more funds will naturally flow in, and Xu Lian won't need to worry about it anymore.

As a pioneer now, the investment naturally needs to be sufficient, and the returns are only a matter of time.

After fully understanding Xu Lian's meaning, Qin Feixu said with a smile, "President Xu, you truly have foresight. My brain can't even keep up.

If we truly host a professional league, it might attract the attention of many large capitalists.

At that time, not only will our games become popular, but even the development team behind them, which is Aoyou Tianxia Game Company, will also benefit.

This move is brilliant!"

She looked at Xu Lian with admiration in her eyes.

Although she considered herself very intelligent, daring to think and act, Xu Lian's idea today still shocked her.

Qin Feixu was very smart and quickly understood all the possibilities.

After her detailed explanation, everyone finally understood Xu Lian's plan and was deeply impressed.

A simple competition could develop into such a grand project, and there were many opportunities for profit within it.

However, the premise for all of this was to successfully host the competition and make those capitalists willing to pay for it.

What they pursued was not only prize money but also continuous popularity.

Xu Lian continued, "Currently, the most suitable game under our company for a professional league is crossfire.

Of course, this is just for the current stage. After more new games are developed in the future, there will be more options.

Let's test the waters with crossfire first."

His words were not just talk; the probability of success was very high.

···············

After a whole day, everyone finally settled the matter.

The crossfire S1 professional tournament has been confirmed!

What was most exciting was that the champion team would receive 50 million in prize money!

In fact, Qin Feixu initially opposed such a high prize money setting.

The prize money was indeed attractive, but the risk was also very high.

However, under Xu Lian's insistence, Qin Feixu had no choice.

Xu Lian felt that if they were going to do this, they should do it well. The investment would naturally be substantial, and whether they lost money was not the most important thing for now.

The most crucial thing was not to mess up this major competition.

Fortunately, with Qin Feixu there, he could arrange everything in an orderly manner.

To discuss the details of the competition, everyone went without lunch.

If all the problems hadn't been resolved, they probably would have continued discussing.

"Lin Weixin, send out this message."

Finally, Xu Lian asked Lin Weixin to release the announcement about the upcoming major competition.

"Okay."

Lin Weixin responded softly.

The meeting concluded.

···············

[Aoyou Tianxia Game Company V: Great news! Aoyou Tianxia Game Company will host a large-scale offline crossfire competition! The champion team will receive 50 million in prize money! Click the link to learn more about registration details...]

Lin Weixin immediately posted this message on the company's official Weibo.

It instantly attracted a large number of players' attention.

"Fifty million? I didn't misread that, did I? This is too extravagant!"

"A minimum of five people are required to participate? Do I, a single dog, not even have a chance to participate? So frustrating!"

"Professional league! Playing games can also become a formal profession!"

"Haha, next time I go home, I'm going to tell Mom I want to be a professional e-sports player!"

"Fifty million in prize money is truly tempting. Even if I'm a noob, I want to try!"

"Is anyone forming a team for the professional league? We grassroots also have a chance to rise up!"

"I've reposted it, waiting for experts to contact me!"

"Fifty million, this is something I never dared to dream of before... So generous!"

"I've never heard of any competition with prize money over ten thousand, and this is fifty million all at once, it's astounding!"

"I have a new dream now, and that is to become a professional player!"

"Honestly, with such high prize money, who wouldn't want to try?"

"Why is it only for crossfire? Does Dungeon & Fighter not deserve it?"

"The warriors of Arad Continent are not convinced, why is there no competition for us?"

"What's the use of complaining? Are we going to compete on clearing maps or clearing Antoun faster?"

"Hey, Ouyou Company, are you biased? Are you really biased!"

"Why can't the warriors of Arad Continent participate! Why is there no competition for us!"

".........."

Many players were very interested after seeing the huge prize money set by Aoyou Tianxia Game Company.

There were even many Dungeon & Fighter players who expressed dissatisfaction.

Claiming that Aoyou Tianxia Game Company was too biased towards crossfire.

Xu Lian would probably shake his head when he saw this scene.

When the news of the crossfire professional league was announced, its popularity continued to climb.

Many players began to look for teammates, hoping to show their skills in the competition.

After all, the entry requirements were relatively lenient; any player familiar with crossfire could participate.

Of course, they still had to go through layers of screening to finally enter the competition.

Otherwise, if every player came to participate, there wouldn't be enough space.

Although the process was very time-consuming and energy-intensive, the benefits behind it were also quite considerable.

The more participants, the higher the popularity, and advertisers would naturally follow suit.

This was a huge opportunity for Aoyou Tianxia Game Company.

However, advertising slots were not unlimited.

Only those with high prices could get a spot, otherwise, if it was all advertisements, there would be nothing to watch.

It was like the Spring Festival Gala every year, where there would be commercial breaks after each segment.

High viewership would drive product sales, which was definitely a good money-making opportunity for advertisers.

Xu Lian understood that to benefit from this, they had to organize the event well and make it known to everyone.

What those advertisers were looking for was to cooperate with people who had fame and strength, otherwise, everything would be empty talk.

There were already advertisers trying to embed ads in the competition at a low price.

These people were far-sighted, just taking the first step.

However, how could Xu Lian not know their little schemes.

Want to embed ads at a low price?

Dream on.
