Chapter 404 Preparation
The action of G Games establishing the WEGL Golden League made countless people jump on the Bangzi Game market, which involved a dispute over interests. The Bangzi Game market was very narrow, which was destined to have to take the exit route.
That is, to sell Korean local games to the foreign game market, the competition in Bangzi is very fierce, both in the electronics and gaming industry. Relying on South Korea's own domestic market, it is definitely impossible to make a profit, which makes them start to compete for the foreign market.
In this context, we know why there are so many Korean games in China. In fact, not only domestic, but also Korean game companies in Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America are all madly exporting their own games.
In the past few years alone, the Korean game market has generated more than one billion US dollars in profits every year by relying on exporting games. This is not the profit sharing obtained by Korean game companies from various game agents!
In this case, why the WCG World E-sports Competition is obvious at a glance. To put it bluntly, it is to better promote your domestic games, make Korean games more famous in the international market, and more game users will pay for it!
However, at present, they are preparing to bring WCG games to the operators of the international market. At this time, they have the urge to vomit blood. SG games have to make a slight strife, which may make their efforts over the past few years fail!
In terms of influence, the entire history is now beyond recognition. The emergence of SG games has completely disrupted the entire game market. The NCsoft game, which is currently ranked first in South Korea, is far from that of SG games, and its influence cannot be compared with SG games at all!
Compared with its influence in the game market and its financial situation, the list of game companies in South Korea is not enough for SG Games to play. What's more, SG Games has the support of a large domestic game company, and has the entire domestic game market, and the share of the global game market has steadily increased.
Unless the Korean game company does not want to be released in China, it will dare to break up with SG Games and make a fuss!
Hearing that WCG blocked SG Game from hosting the WEGL League, Chen Chu laughed and asked Wu Xingdao, "How many companies are there in South Korea that support the official WCG Competition?!"
"I'm not sure yet, but most of them are just verbally talking!" Wu Xing said that he didn't take it too seriously. Most of the game companies in South Korea are just verbally talking, so they really jumped out and fought against SG games, but none of them were stupid!
Chen Chu glanced at Wu Xing and said, "Take Microsoft to the WEGL League, and you inform Scott to make X-wave X host the sponsor of WEGL!"
Originally, Chen Chu didn't want to pay attention to WCG. Since the other party was having fun, Chen Chu didn't mind sending them a ride in advance. To be honest, the commercial operation of WCG is just like that. Even when it reached its peak in later generations, it was not able to make a profit.
The WCG competition is an event led by sponsors. In fact, sponsors want to use WCG to promote their products. WCG's largest sponsor is Samsung. Currently, there is also a Microsoft, and most of the fees are sponsored by Samsung.
However, it is unknown how long Samsung will sponsor it. Later, the suspension of the competition was the funder behind it and no longer paid for it!
WCG is not very famous yet, but it is a bit famous in the game market. Currently, there are two sponsors, one is Samsung and the other is Microsoft. SG Games. It is the easiest to suppress the WCG competition. Just dig out its sponsors!
Hearing Chen Chu's words, Wu Xing couldn't help but tighten his teeth. Chen Chu's move was almost a matter of draining the firewood. Without sponsors, it is almost unknown whether WCG can continue to do it. The so-called "snake and seven inches" is the biggest life gate of WCG, which is the funding issue!
As for whether Microsoft will withdraw its investment from WCG and switch to WEGL, Wu Xingdao has no doubts at all. X-bolt X and SG Games are currently in the closest partner, and even the console production base is built on the SG Games territory. It is just a game event. There is no need to doubt how Scott chooses!
Chen Chu talked to Wu Xingdao about some details of the WEGL event, including the sponsor issue. This is the first time that SG Games has held such a large-scale event, so naturally we must be cautious.
If done well, it can expand the influence of SG games, which has great benefits for the brand improvement of SG games. In addition, the entire WEGL Golden League can also become a platform for SG promotion games!
"Try to invite other game companies to participate in the competition and let them agree to put their games in the WEGL league!" Chen Chu explained to Wu Xingdao.
Now the WEGL Golden League has only one game confirmed by "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". The e-sports competition is the most important thing that can attract audiences. After all, it is a fierce scene, a skillful operation technique that surpasses ordinary people, and can do some technical actions that ordinary people cannot do. These are gimmicks. Otherwise, how to attract audiences and how to invest with sponsors!
"This is probably not easy, we need to negotiate with other game companies!" Wu Xingdao thought for a while and said that the game projects currently held by WCG, including StarCraft, Thor's Hammer, FIFA and Microsoft's Age of Empires, are also the reason why Microsoft is willing to sponsor because it is promoting their games.
"It's up to people!" Chen Chu thought for a moment, "Let Microsoft put the copyright of the Imperial Age game on WEGL, and contact VS and Blizzard and several other game companies to let them cooperate with SG Games to this event, and they can give them part of the WEGL equity!"
Wu Xingdao looked strange. At the time, the matter between SG Games and V Club was in a turmoil. Steam was off the line the day he was bullied by SG Games. I heard that Gabe Newell was very angry.
This time, when Half Life 2 was released, he encountered the PUBG again. V had to postpone the release of Half Life 2 again, almost knocking on his window in the middle of the night.
At this time, Chen Chu proposed to hold the WEGL competition together. Wu Xingdao didn't know what Gabe Newell would feel, but it would definitely be very wonderful.
"I believe these game companies will not reject SG Games' proposal!" Chen Chu said meaningfully. This time, SG Games extended an olive branch to ease their relationship with other game manufacturers by taking advantage of the opportunity to hold the WEGL Golden League. If you miss this opportunity, those game manufacturers and SG Games will really become mortal enemies in the future!
Wu Xingdao nodded, and he also understood Chen Chu's meaning in a flash. This time, SG Games took the initiative to ease the relationship with V Club and other game companies. If SG Games are rejected, both sides will become mortal enemies in the future. Those game manufacturers' games should not be able to log in to the SG game platform again.
"The finals are located in Yanjing. You can contact the departments in Yanjing and ask them to help coordinate. In addition, after the WEGL Golden League this time, SG Games will organize a global game exhibition, and the location is located in Yanjing!" Chen Chu glanced at Wu Xing and said.
Wu Xingdao suddenly looked at Chen Chu, "Is it really going to hold a game exhibition?"
Whether it is an e-sports competition or a game exhibition, it is actually intended to promote games or increase influence. The latter spends much greater than the former, and has a huge influence. Think about a game exhibition, which can attract tens of millions of game fans or animation users to influx, and hundreds of game companies will participate in the exhibition. The energy, funds and resources spent are extremely huge!
Chen Chu nodded. The current situation is almost the same. If SG Games does not announce the holding of the game exhibition, it will be the first place by others. Then SG Games will be passive. It would be better to take advantage of the hot SG Games this year to hold the game league directly while also confirming the game exhibition!
When Wu Xingdao went out, it was already dark outside, and Chen Chu actually discussed with Wu Xingdao for most of the day.
After Chen Chu washed his face, he went downstairs to the restaurant on Chuke Technology. After Chen Chu asked someone to delay the registration time for WEGL, he was no longer busy now. People were busy. Many people took the opportunity to leave now, and there were not many people eating at the restaurant.
When he saw Chen Chu coming, the kitchen manager who was patrolling the restaurant immediately ran over with great sincerity, "Mr. Chen, do you want to sit in the room?"
There are many people coming to Chuke Technology, especially those from the cooperative company, so the logistics department has also prepared two small rooms in the restaurant, which is specially for entertaining those people, so there are naturally special people to cook.
Chen Chu glanced at the person in charge of the kitchen and vaguely remembered that he had joined the company when Chu Ke Technology was first established, but he was still a middle-aged master at that time, but now he is almost fat, so Chen Chu almost didn't recognize it.
"No need!" Chen Chu said, "I'll eat in the lobby today. You can go to other places to work hard!"
Chen Chu said this, but the person in charge of the kitchen dared not listen to it. He was still following Chen Chu. Chu Ke Technology was making food, but there was no problem with shaking hands. Because it was self-operated, the kitchen only worked, and Chu Ke Technology paid a fixed salary, otherwise it would buy it directly from an outside restaurant, and the kitchen would not be able to use funds, and there would be no money saving.
After Chen Chu sat down, the person in charge of the kitchen brought Chen Chu a big pot of fish soup when he was like a magic trick. Chen Chu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, looking at him and said, "You are still having a small kitchen here?"
"This is not a small meal!" The person in charge said with a smile, "Isn't it always someone who missed the meal? We have to prepare orders here, right? You can't wait for someone to come. I have nothing here, so I'm hungry and waiting!"
Chen Chu knew that he was being fooled and didn't point him out. If he had no small kitchen in the kitchen, he would definitely be fooling people, and this thing might not be used by him. Maybe it was prepared for those management. Chen Chu didn't care. It was not too important. There would be no fish when the water was clear.
"How is the kitchen here recently?" Chen Chu asked casually.
