Inside Pang Donglai's office, Lin Yifeng sat behind his desk, looking at the documents in his hand with a hint of helplessness in his expression.
There are still two weeks until April arrives.
In this short period of time, he had already begun planning for the third e-sports competition.
In 1994, an era with limited entertainment options, people's usual entertainment consisted mostly of playing cards or mahjong. Those with a bit of free time would go to the park to play badminton, or meet up with a few friends at the pool table outside a convenience store for a while.
As an esports event, it has attracted countless people's attention since its second edition.
In addition to winning the second championship, the Makino City Sports Bureau and the Shangdu Sports Bureau have asked Lin Yifeng more than once when to hold the third championship.
It can be said that the success of the second competition attracted the attention of this group of people, and even the people from Zhongzhou Province intentionally or unintentionally revealed that they could provide Lin Yifeng with some assistance.
"Esports."
"The water is too deep."
Lin Yifeng picked up the list that had been given to him.
These are the sponsorship requests from companies in provinces other than Zhongzhou Province before the competition started this year. Among them are well-known brands such as Warrior, Yili, and Huafeng instant noodles.
What Lin Yifeng didn't expect was that Wuliangye from Zhongzhou Province also approached them, wanting to cooperate with them to organize an e-sports competition, and even proposed to provide prizes.
Lin Yifeng couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of the contestants winning awards, wearing Warrior shoes, carrying a case of Yili liquor in their left hand and a case of Wuliangye liquor in their right, and munching on Huafeng instant noodles.
However, Lin Yifeng could also sense that this competition was definitely not as simple as the previous one.
As for the venue, Makino City and Shoto City have guaranteed it; it's just that we need to put some effort into the stage setup.
Now it's about negotiating contracts with sponsors. Wuliangye will definitely not let this opportunity slip by, after all, they are the biggest financial backer. Lin Yifeng has already sent Guo Fengsheng to discuss the details.
Lin Yifeng will be contacting Warrior tomorrow, a clothing brand, to see if they can provide clothing for the athletes.
Just as Lin Yifeng was pondering this matter, Guo Fengsheng pushed open the door to the room.
As soon as he entered, Guo Fengsheng looked at Lin Yifeng with a headache.
"Brother Feng, are we really going to bring Wuliangye?"
Lin Yifeng was slightly taken aback and looked at Guo Fengsheng with some confusion.
Guo Fengsheng loosened his tie and gulped down two mouthfuls of tea.
Is it really absolutely necessary to use it?
"What's wrong, Lao Guo? Why is it like this when we're just negotiating a business deal?"
Lin Yifeng looked at Guo Fengsheng with a wry smile.
Guo Fengsheng's expression became somewhat complicated.
They were originally planning to meet in the afternoon in a pre-booked meeting room for a detailed discussion, and Guo Fengsheng even brought his secretary along.
Little did he know that Wuliangye insisted on having lunch with him at noon.
Guo Fengsheng thought it would be appropriate to chat at the dinner table, but little did he know that he would witness firsthand what drinking culture was all about.
One glass of wine after another sat on the table, and Guo Fengsheng didn't even have a chance to bring up the matter. After downing three glasses of baijiu, he was completely dizzy.
If he hadn't told them that he'd had to have his stomach pumped after drinking so much, these guys would have insisted on dragging him into another dozen or so rounds of drinking.
In the end, all the Wuliangye drinkers were done drinking, but no business was discussed at all.
Guo Fengsheng was also starting to have a headache, wondering when he would be able to finalize the contract.
Lin Yifeng smiled as he looked at Guo Fengsheng's annoyed expression.
"normal."
"These days, all liquor companies are like this."
"If all else fails, call Gangzi over. Gangzi can drink a lot, let him help you drink."
Guo Fengsheng's eyes darted around twice.
"Gangzi?"
"That's definitely possible."
As the one who could drink the most among them, the others once suspected that Gangzi had an alcohol tolerance.
While others choke and suffer when drinking baijiu, this kid drinks it like it's water. In the summer, he'd often go and buy a case of beer and put it in the freezer at the arcade.
There's absolutely no problem with one person drinking a whole case a day.
If you invite Gangzi to join the people who run this liquor company, he alone can definitely get everyone at the table drunk.
"By the way, Lao Guo."
"When will the Warrior brand arrive tomorrow?"
While organizing the documents in his hand, Lin Yifeng asked Guo Fengsheng, who was standing next to him, a question.
Guo Fengsheng took out a small notebook from his pocket and flipped through it.
"I'll arrive tomorrow at noon; we arranged to meet in the afternoon."
"Everything has been arranged at the hotel."
"We should arrive in Shangdu tomorrow."
Lin Yifeng nodded slightly.
Duan Yusheng also played a part in this. Warrior is a brand from Shanghai, and after hearing that Lin Yifeng was organizing an e-sports competition, Duan Yusheng originally wanted to get involved as well.
Unfortunately, there was no business related to him in Zhongzhou, so the only option was to help Lin Yifeng find a brand.
As a long-established domestic brand, Warrior (Huili) certainly wouldn't miss out on such an event in the Central China market.
After sending people to investigate, we immediately contacted the local distributor to conduct an investigation.
After confirming that Lin Yifeng wanted to hold an e-sports competition, the local person in charge of the project was immediately contacted to communicate and negotiate with Lin Yifeng and his team.
With Warrior's involvement, as long as the contract can be negotiated, a significant amount of money can be saved on clothing-related issues.
The following afternoon, Lin Yifeng arrived at the conference room and waited for a moment. Soon, two men in light blue suits, led by Guo Fengsheng, entered the conference room.
