Zhang Long has experienced all the hardships of life, gaining nothing but injuries and illnesses. He felt that his greatest contribution to society was not becoming a criminal.
From childhood...
Before parting, Zhang Long gave them an answer: once he finished dealing with things at the company, he would resume his irregular live streams.
These fans were quite satisfied to hear this, because Zhang Long did look like he had lost a lot of weight.
Looks like I've been really busy lately; I haven't even played games in ages.
They learned from the professional players' live streams that Zhang Long had recently been on a business trip and didn't even have time to come back to watch HL team's first match.
After saying goodbye to their many fans, the two strolled back home.
Back in the office building, Zhang Long suddenly had a whim and pulled Xin Xin to the HL Club at the back of the building.
As I stepped out of the elevator on the second floor, I could see through the glass wall a group of brightly colored young men playing a team practice match in the distance, shouting and yelling.
Xin Xin covered her mouth and chuckled. It really was a kaleidoscope of colors, even more than the colors they had seen when they took a walk in the nearby park.
As soon as Hongmi saw Zhang Long arrive, she immediately put down her notebook and came over to greet him in her strange-sounding Mandarin: "Boss, boss lady, hello!"
Zhang Long said cheerfully, "It's nothing, we just came to take a look."
"Your Mandarin is pretty good! Keep it up!"
He then strolled over to the control room, where a huge screen was displayed, and he saw the coaching staff recording something on it.
This intra-team scrimmages were between the main team members and the substitute players, mainly to let them learn the Korean-style operational approach. At this time, the best at operational play is from the LCK, and Redmi wants to replicate this theory.
Zhang Long was very supportive of this, saying that if it works well, why not use it?
He's a results-oriented person; as long as you can help the club win the championship, whatever you say is right.
If not, then there is a problem. Find it and correct it, and he will continue to trust you.
After watching for a while, he got a little bored, since this kind of operational strategy seemed very dull.
Although it was in the same building, this was truly his first time at the club—or rather, his first time here after everyone had arrived.
Out of curiosity, he pulled Hu Xinxin along for a stroll around the club.
When Redmi saw that its boss wanted to visit the club, it immediately volunteered to be the tour guide.
This shows that Redmi is quite confident in its language capabilities.
Back when he was with VG club, in order to show that he was a meritorious coach that the owner had spent a lot of money to bring back from other regions, he definitely needed to find a translator to highlight his status.
Otherwise, how could he keep the young players in the team in check, as well as the club manager?
As a result, after joining the HL club, he discovered that he was basically in charge of the entire club in terms of training and matches.
There was absolutely no interference from the club manager that had happened before.
In this situation, having a translator would be redundant and wouldn't reflect his authority as a coach.
Moreover, he discovered that this team seemed to have a real chance of winning the championship, and for the sake of his future financial prospects, he became even more motivated to learn languages.
Sure enough, Redmi didn't need a translator at all, and managed to explain things clearly, albeit with some stumbling.
"Are you all enjoying the food at the club?"
Upon hearing this, Hongmi immediately gave a thumbs up: "Boss, that's excellent! The chef is amazing!"
Zhang Long set up a kitchen on the fourth floor of the club and hired many chefs. From breakfast to late-night snacks, everything was a buffet.
In addition, there are also corresponding kitchens on the 13th floor of the media company and the 28th floor of Honglong.
I originally intended to put them together, but considering that these professional players are all night owls, their sleep schedules are all different from normal people.
Considering that these streamers are in the same boat, it's better to separate them altogether, since we're not short of a little money anyway.
Several companies have their own medical teams, especially clubs. Those professional players sit and play games all day long, clicking the mouse countless times. Occupational diseases like lumbar muscle strain and tenosynovitis are all too common!
After the young players finished their training match, they immediately surrounded the boss and greeted him when they heard he was there.
"Hello, boss! Hello, boss's wife!"
The greetings came one after another, but the most eye-catching one was Xiao Huasheng, whose mouth was full of the smell of lamb skewers.
Although the accent is a bit strange, it's already quite impressive that there has been such great progress in such a short time.
The boss patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, as a sign of encouragement.
Then the two of them left; if they had stayed any longer, everyone would have felt uncomfortable.
The next day, Zhang Long accompanied Xin Xin to Henglong Plaza for a stroll. Well, shopping was just a side trip.
The main reason for this trip to Hang Lung was that Zhao Zhen and his team had come up with a new brand called Dragon Tea.
Today is the opening day. Beforehand, they even sent a car to bring all his big toy cars over to make a grand entrance.
Uh, even his big Lamborghini wasn't left behind.
The person sent to handle the matter was a young man. He saw that the boss had ordered all the supercars worth tens of millions to be taken away.
Tragically, when Zhang Long got out of the car, it was already gone.
I asked around and found out that the car was already on its way, and it would be too late to go back now.
In fact, Zhang Long was quite supportive of them opening high-end stores. The main reason was that these rich kids were very proactive. They already had more than 500 low-end stores in Shanghai, all of which were self-operated, and there were about 80 more stores under renovation.
Because his father had visited the factory and it made the local news, the director of Shanghai TV station gave Zhao Zhen a lot of face and gave him some advertising.
Well, that's great! The iced tea shop is incredibly popular, while other milk tea shops have seen their business decline by at least 40%.
Some stores can generate over 20,000 yuan in revenue, and the dozen or so employees are constantly busy from the moment they open each day.
Even slightly less desirable shops have around 9,000 to 10,000 yuan. That's pretty much the potential for low-end shops. Opening another 100 to 200 would be about right.
So they turned their attention to wealthy people and socialites who like to check in at events.
As a high-end tea brand, its first store was opened in Hang Lung Plaza, right next to Starbucks. The 115-square-meter store had a monthly rent of 50,000 yuan.
That's nothing; even the Ice Dragon Shop could be easily taken over.
Because of this, Zhao Zhen specially commissioned Zhang Long to order a batch of higher-end raw materials.
This was a piece of cake for Zhang Long; he could easily synthesize it.
He gave Zhao Zhen samples from the first, second, and third synthesis for comparison, letting him choose for himself.
After discussing it, Zhao Zhen and the others chose the most expensive one. The material cost alone was about three yuan, so selling a cup of milk tea for fifty yuan wasn't unreasonable.
Fortunately, Xin Xin had an Audi A4, otherwise they would have had to take a taxi.
