Although Gu Qingqiu really wanted to be a domineering CEO who could squander hundreds of millions of dollars with a wave of his hand, he also had to consider the reality. After all, he had worked so hard to build his career, so how could he just ignore it?
Since they were going to sign Bai Jingyuan, they naturally needed to do thorough preparatory work. Gu Qingqiu had her secretary collect a lot of information on esports teams over the past two days.
Zhang Yuantang was somewhat puzzled, but his work efficiency was exceptionally high, and he quickly organized the information that Gu Qingqiu needed.
"Mr. Gu, these are the documents you requested. Are you planning to start investing in esports teams? This is indeed a new investment direction right now, with both huge returns and high risks. Do you have a team in mind, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Qingqiu replied, "Actually, I want to buy a team directly. Can you look for a team with a reasonable price, moderate skill level, and most importantly, one that is short of a marksman? By the way, if you have time, could you draft a contract agreement for an esports player for me?"
Zhang Yuantang was even more puzzled. "Does President Gu already have a favorite esports player? Which club is he from? Is he planning to poach him with a high offer?"
Gu Qingqiu smiled mysteriously, "He's a newcomer, but I believe he'll soon shine in the competition."
As fate would have it, a team facing disbandment was being sold off at a low price by a club. The team members were skilled, but they were all older and had not yet achieved any results. They were under a lot of pressure from their families and fans, and they themselves were unwilling to give up.
However, the team's core marksman was poached by another team for a high price last month, which has put the already precarious team at risk of disbanding. Now, the team members have no interest in training and are looking for investors everywhere to try to save their team.
Gu Qingqiu glanced at the members' profiles and past performance records, then announced with a wave of her hand, "Buy it! That's it!"
Bai Jingyuan was completely bewildered when he met his new teammates. Gu Qingqiu had rented an e-sports training base for them.
Several teammates had already heard that the team was bought by a female boss who had never been involved in esports before, and they also heard that a starting marksman would be parachuted into the team. They initially thought it was just a hobby for the female boss, so their expressions were not very pleasant. Especially when they saw Gu Qingqiu and Bai Jingyuan appear together, they were polite on the surface, but they couldn't help but silently complain in their hearts.
But as soon as formal training began, his teammates' attitudes immediately changed—this marksman seems to really have some skills!
Bai Jingyuan was serious when playing games, and his awareness and skills were no less than those of other professional players. He quickly gained the recognition of his teammates, who spontaneously started calling him "boss," which made Bai Jingyuan feel a little embarrassed.
Bai Jingyuan spends his days training at the training base, working on his skills and teamwork with his new teammates, but he can't sleep with them in the base's dormitory at night.
However, everyone gave him knowing smiles, "Boss, go ahead and do your best to serve our sugar daddy! We'll wait for you to come back tomorrow and continue your rampage!"
Bai Jingyuan, his face flushed, retorted, "Don't talk nonsense!"
In fact, on the first day he moved into Gu Qingqiu's house, Bai Jingyuan was very nervous. He would even wake up in the middle of the night, afraid that Gu Qingqiu would suddenly climb into his bed.
However, Gu Qingqiu behaved very well, arranging a guest room for him and knocking on the door before entering his room each time. She never stayed overnight and seemed to do nothing except occasionally say a few flirtatious words to him during meals.
This left Bai Jingyuan at a loss, feeling like an incompetent gigolo! Even his sugar daddy wasn't willing to patronize him anymore; had he lost his appeal to Gu Qingqiu?
Gu Qingqiu provided the team with a nutritionist, successfully fattening Bai Jingyuan up a bit, and he even grew two centimeters taller, which aroused the jealousy of his teammates—how could someone grow taller after reaching adulthood? It's truly infuriating to compare oneself to others!
As a professional esports team, in addition to daily training, there are naturally some contractual requirements, such as the amount of time spent streaming.
Gu Qingqiu hadn't originally made this request, but Zhang Yuantang said that all teams now require it, as it helps solidify the fan base, and the other team members also bring their own fans to some extent.
Gu Qingqiu looked at the live streaming duration requirements of other teams and signed live streaming agreements with everyone according to the minimum duration—she even specially signed the live streaming platform to M Station, which her company was going to cooperate deeply with anyway.
Gu Qingqiu originally had no intention of having Bai Jingyuan sign a live streaming agreement, but Bai Jingyuan's attitude was very firm. He did not want to be treated differently, and more importantly, he had heard that the live streaming agreements signed by professional players were very valuable. The platform would transfer the money to the team, and he wanted Gu Qingqiu to earn more money. He did not want Gu Qingqiu's investment decision to buy him to fail.
To this end, Bai Jingyuan even overcame his fear of not wanting to turn on his camera. Unexpectedly, after turning on his camera, Bai Jingyuan became one of the top ten on the M Station game chart. Although he hadn't played a single official match yet, he had already attracted a large number of fans who admired his looks.
However, the top spender in Bai Jingyuan's live stream has always been a mysterious user named Autumn, who is always very generous with his spending, which always elicits exclamations from the viewers in the live stream: "The boss is so generous!"
During one of the live streams, a fan finally couldn't help but ask, "Does Autumn know the streamer? She always gives so much in tips."
[Autumn: Actually, I'm the team owner, do you believe me?]
Upon hearing this, the comments section erupted with exclamations of "Just as I expected."
But some people wondered, "Why doesn't Autumn go to the live streams of the other players in the team?"
Why?
