The remaining contestants, who were already eligible to receive their prize money, never expected such a good thing to happen.

Who would refuse a reward of a thousand dollars for just wearing clothes with the brand logo and participating in a competition?

This led to the fact that after the draw for the top 32 teams, the first thing each contestant did upon taking the stage was to display their logo, and then they would begin vying for the final championship.

After all, those companies have invested heavily, and if they can advance to the next round, their advertising costs can double.

In addition to the prize money given by Lin Yifeng, they could earn close to 10,000 yuan by reaching the top 16. For these players who are often criticized for not doing their jobs properly, what could be more exciting?

Starting from the round of 16, the tournament gradually transformed into a formal tiebreaker, making the battles more intense and providing a more exciting experience for many viewers.

Most importantly, after three days of preparation, the fourth day of the competition saw the 5,000-seat stadium packed to capacity.

The audience members who came to the event were all Street Fighter fans, and many of them had come all the way from the south just for this competition.

The final eight seeded players will compete to determine the four finalists on that day.

Let's not even talk about how intense the competition was that day.

Lin Yifeng was shocked when he saw the financial report of Mixue Ice Cream Stadium that night.

The temporary booths of Mixue Ice Cream and Wallace generated nearly 20,000 yuan in revenue on the first day, in addition to the 20,000 yuan in revenue from the stadium itself and the additional fees from sponsors.

By the end of the day, Lin Yifeng and his group had earned 100,000 yuan.

That evening, Xu Qingyi couldn't stop smiling in the finance office.

"Brother Feng, organizing this competition is incredibly profitable!"

"We can actually make money here?"

Lin Yifeng smiled.

"make money?"

"This is not the time to make money yet."

"Once the business grows big, we'll give out bonuses, and we can just sit back and count the money."

Xu Qingyi and Guo Fengsheng were still somewhat skeptical of Lin Yifeng's statement.

However, Lin Yifeng really didn't mean to brag.

Judging from the current situation of the Dragon Cup, as the only officially certified competition in China, it would definitely be rated at the highest level.

If this trend continues, it won't be Lam Yat-fung wanting to organize the competition, but rather other stadiums and sponsors begging him to organize it.

At that time, there will be no need to pay for the venue, and the equipment and decoration issues will be perfectly solved with the money from the sponsors.

In the end, all Lin Yifeng needs to do is gather sponsors and sell Mixue Ice Cream around the area to earn a large sum of money.

Once the event reaches its peak, Lin Yifeng could easily earn 200 million a year just from sponsorship fees alone.

For Lin Yifeng, this was just the beginning.

The night before the final battle.

People from Shangdu and Muye TV stations also approached Lin Yifeng.

These two TV stations have been beaming with joy these past two days. They never expected that a game competition would lead to record-breaking viewership for their stations.

Even their Spring Festival gala didn't attract as many viewers as Lin Yifeng's single competition.

The reason why these two TV stations sought out Lin Yifeng was quite simple.

Local television stations in several surrounding provinces wanted the broadcasting rights to the event, specifically the final match.

They are willing to pay a certain amount to purchase the broadcasting rights for the event.

Lin Yifeng could certainly make a fortune off them to make up for the deficit in prize money for this competition.

From start to finish, this trial has cost over a million yuan.

Including revenue and event sponsorships, Lin Yifeng and his team also spent four to five hundred thousand yuan of their own money.

This is only because the Hungry Wolf Legend project was cancelled; otherwise, Lin Yifeng might not have been able to make even two million this time.

However, Lin Yifeng still chose to maintain good relations with these television stations.

After all, they will need Xiangpiaopiao milk tea's help for future promotions.

Regarding the broadcasting rights, Lin Yifeng only charged a very low line fee, gave some subsidies to the two TV stations, and did not collect any other fees.

This also allowed him to get to know local TV stations in the area, who assured him that if there were any future collaborations, they would definitely give Lin Yifeng certain preferential treatment.

What Lin Yifeng wanted was the promise from this group of people.

The venue was packed with people on the day of the final.

The seats that were originally closest to the stage have now become areas used by various domestic media outlets for interviews.

Lin Yifeng watched the game from the VIP seats in the distance with Ye Wuzheng and the others.

It has to be said that the atmosphere of the finals was enough to get these game enthusiasts excited.

In the final moments of the afternoon's competition, a 22-year-old man from out of town won the championship of this year's Longteng Cup.

Capcom was very generous, directly commissioning a medal with Capcom's stamp and awarding the prize to the man.

When the man lifted the championship trophy, the flashbulbs went off non-stop, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of esports competitions many years later.

Lin Yifeng nodded in satisfaction as he looked at all of this.

As for the prize money, it will be distributed to these players after the competition when the finance department has paid more than 10,000 yuan in taxes.

Almost every other day, major local newspapers across the country published photos of the man holding the Dragon Cup trophy. Of course, the most eye-catching part was the headline next to the photo: "Winning a prize of 300,000 yuan."

When the news spread, it caused an uproar throughout the streets and alleys.

"What?! You made 300,000 yuan playing games?"

"What? You can win a house by playing a game?"
