Chapter 421 Dad, can you be more courageous?
Lu Ming looked over the pile of information several times and slowly moved his gaze to the window.
“Esports is the trend of the times.”
“…I was wondering if ‘Misguided Path to the Wilderness’ could also be brought in?”
"However, this game is too random, so it needs some adjustments based on e-sports!"
“It must be interactive, entertaining, and competitive!”
"Also, we can bring in 'Zhi Ge'. Although this project is still under development, there will definitely be no problem with Lao Yao!"
"An action fighting game, it's definitely fine for competitions!"
Lin Zhi nodded subconsciously, her eyes shining.
"Then Mr. Lu, we can just do it in one go and make it a platform-based event."
"Each of these games has a completely different gameplay style and can attract different groups of players."
"Coupled with our own Deep Blue platform as a foundation, mature community mechanisms, and the full offline channel coverage of the Fu'an Experience Center, it's completely possible to create a full-dimensional esports system."
"We can even hold corporate competitions, university competitions, community competitions, city competitions, regional competitions...
"Corporate competitions can attract sponsorships, university competitions can reach young people, community competitions can bring in grassroots players, and city competitions can create a sense of belonging. All levels are connected, with full coverage online and offline."
"If that's the case, then we can call it the Whale Leap Esports Games!"
"Directly select "Forge Frontier", "Ming Dynasty Imperial Decree", "Misguided Path to the Wilderness", and "Stop the War" as the first batch of core events."
Lu Ming smiled.
"That's right! Your idea is good!"
“Of course, it’s not just about developing the game itself.”
Lu Ming paused and looked at Lin Zhi.
"We need to provide a supporting competitive ecosystem. The forum should have a dedicated competition area, the game should have dedicated activities, there should be corresponding brands and sponsorships, the selection and training of commentators, and even a data center. All of these must be done well!"
“Competitions should be entertaining!”
Lu Ming finished speaking.
Lin Zhi couldn't help but feel that familiar feeling rising in her heart again.
Mr. Lu, you are really different from other bosses.
She knows a lot of bosses, many of whom are either "I say and you listen",
Or "I listen to you and then pretend I didn't hear you"
There is also a kind of "listen to it and then follow my instructions".
But Mr. Lu is not.
He really follows your ideas, thinks ahead, and can make up for it.
The most important thing is that President Lu dared to make the decision on the spot and delegate power directly!
Once it’s confirmed on the spot, we’ll give it to you to do right then and there!
No back-and-forth meetings.
No complicated signatures or stamps.
Every idea can get an immediate answer from Mr. Lu.
This efficiency is terrible!
She suddenly felt that she was really lucky.
At this time, I was able to work with Jingyue to develop a set of "Jingyue E-sports Games" projects.
This is not an empty promise that only draws big pictures.
Instead, the event plan is based on one hit game after another, and is a down-to-earth and step-by-step progress.
"That's it, then."
Lu Ming slammed the documents in his hand and pushed them back onto the table.
"I'll leave this matter to you, Lin Zhi. Please carry it out well."
"Whatever resources, people, or departments you need to support you, just tell Lao Zhou directly and take the shortest path."
"yes!"
"good!"
Lin Zhi was so excited that she almost stood up.
"I'll go to the meeting and make arrangements right away!"
Lu Ming waved his hand and paused:
"Don't be impatient."
"Don't rush to call a meeting. Calm down and come up with an initial plan framework. You have some ideas in your head right now, but the underlying logic isn't set in stone yet."
"How do we set up the tournament organizing committee? How do we establish the esports department? How do we run the commentary system? How do we set up the player registration process? Don't just do these things on the spur of the moment."
"Keep calm and make sure the main logic is clear first."
"Esports, like making games, isn't about passion and enthusiasm, nor can it be accomplished by posting two Weibo posts or editing three videos."
"Esports is an ecosystem that relies heavily on organizational strength, scalability, user stickiness, and commercial sustainability."
"Esports is a long-term project, so when you first start, you have to do it well!"
Lin Zhi heard this, holding the tablet tightly with both hands, nodding and swearing as she spoke:
"I understand! Mr. Lu! I will definitely do it well!"
…
A month later,
Next to the Deep Blue Platform, an entire office area has been vacated, and a new sign has been hung at the door:
【Whale Leap Esports Division】
The personnel deployment within Jingyue is very fast.
Lin Zhi led the men to start working without stopping at all.
The preliminary planning of the entire business unit also quickly got on track.
On the other side,
Beishan Game Headquarters.
In the conference room, Zhao Chongshan sat in his office.
Staring at the phone in a daze,
Although Whale Leap Esports has not been officially announced,
However, thanks to his connections with Bei Ming, he had already heard the news.
"Is Whale Leap planning to enter the e-sports arena?"
“This speed is too fast!”
They Beishan have been in the gaming industry for so long,
They have never thought about organizing their own e-sports events.
This time, Jingyue is in the lead again!
The gap is getting bigger and bigger.
Opposite Zhao Chongshan,
Sitting there is the youngest assistant to the chairman in Beishan's history,
The star employee who created the record for the fastest promotion in Beishan,
Beishan Annual Gold Medal Intern,
Beishan internal forum voted for the No. 1 candidate for "most wanted to work with"...
He is also Zhao Chongshan's son who just graduated and is currently doing internship at the company.
Zhao Dajiang was staring at his father without saying a word.
He looked like he couldn't help but speak.
"Don't hold it in! Just say whatever you want to say!"
As expected, Zhao Dajiang spoke immediately, his voice loud and clear, with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"Then Dad, what should we do?"
"Even Jingyue has become so esports-oriented! One step faster, every step faster, aren't you anxious?"
"I remember when I was in high school, you said Beishan wanted to develop esports, but now, they've only released one or two esports games!"
"I'm so disappointing!"
Zhao Chongshan finally raised his head and looked at him with a half-smile:
"When did you start caring so much about face?"
Zhao Dajiang spread his hands carelessly:
"It's not a matter of face! I mean, we can't just do nothing."
"Besides... I really think Whale Leap is doing a great job."
"I told you all the time that I wanted to intern at Jingyue! But you wouldn't let me!"
"We're keeping quiet here, do you want to do something fancy?"
"Dad, tell me, does Beishan have any hidden project IPs that we haven't brought out yet?"
Zhao Chongshan was very decisive:
"No!"
"Are there any senior talents who have mastered the core technology?"
"No!"
"Then do you have any exclusive core or patents that can help in an emergency?"
"No!"
"Dad, this is possible!"
"How do you know there isn't one?"
“I really don’t have this!”
"You think the core technology is that simple!"
Zhao Dajiang looked helpless.
"Then there must be some exclusive channels and connections, right?"
"this……"
Zhao Chongshan was very sure.
“This is real!”
Zhao Dajiang's eyes lit up.
"What?"
"I know the VP of Steam. Last time our game was pulled from the shelves, it was me who negotiated with him to get it back! Does this count as an exclusive channel?"
Zhao Dajiang was completely speechless.
"Dad, Beishan is in such a bad state, almost bankrupt. Aren't you worried? You still have the energy to joke with me?"
"Whale Leap has its own Deep Blue platform!"
Zhao Chongshan raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly:
"Weren't you the one joking with me first?"
"Besides, why are you panicking?"
"We have a cooperative relationship with Jingyue, not a sworn enemy."
"Don't forget, it was Whale Leap that invested 2 billion in us and saved us from this difficult time!"
Zhao Dajiang shrugged and spread his hands:
"Then we have to find a way. Dad, how about we give him our own games as well?
Do you think Jingyue will agree? They definitely won't give us a push just based on feelings."
"You've saved us from danger once, so you can't save us from the mire again!"
"Can you please stand up for yourself?"
"I just started working, you better not be the worst!"
"It's so hard to find a job outside these days! Not only is the salary low, but I have to work overtime on weekends! I can't even guarantee a day off!"
"If I don't rely on Beishan, how can I arrange hot spring massages and overseas trips for you when you are old?"
“…”
