Chen's suggestion to the other party is to ignore online comments.
Instead, they spent money to organize a "Hundred Schools Competition".
The company spent money to hire ground promotion workers to contact Internet cafes of all sizes across the country.
An advertisement about the "Hundred Schools Competition" was posted in the Internet cafe.
The rules of this game are very simple.
The target group is students in all schools.
Whether you are a high school student or a college student, you can freely form a team to participate in the audition.
Next, the official will hold an audition elimination round every week.
Each match has three rounds.
The team that wins three games in a row will be crowned the weekly champion and advance directly to the main competition.
Finally, the official will select one hundred teams to participate in the online elimination match.
From these one hundred teams, twelve teams will be selected to participate in the final championship battle.
Since it's a competition, there must be prize money.
Chen is very generous in setting up the awards.
First, the champion team will receive a prize of 200,000 yuan.
The runner-up team will receive a prize of 10,000 yuan.
The third place winner will receive a prize of 10,000 yuan.
Although there are no cash rewards for the fourth to tenth place, there are various game props and other game currency rewards in the official mall.
As soon as this announcement came out, it instantly ignited the Internet.
All the arguments and criticisms in front of me disappeared.
Everyone started discussing this so-called "Hundred Schools Competition".
The reason is naturally that the prize money for this competition is too much.
You should know that before this, most of the prize money given by other domestic competitions was very small.
Even for high-paying games like DOTA, the prize money for gaming tournaments was generally low before 2010. A championship team taking home 100,000 yuan was considered a huge payout.
Most of the competitions and even the champion teams only have 10,000 yuan, and sometimes they even have 10,000 yuan to compete.
As for the fact that DOTA2 held its first World Invitational Tournament and directly offered a prize of 1.6 million US dollars to make a sensation in the news, that was also an obvious thing.
But now, Xingri Game Studio just held a 100-school competition, and the total prize money exceeded 300,000.
This is too much money.
You know, the champion team will get a cash reward of 250,000.
If one team gets points, then there won’t be ten thousand.
For most students, this amount of money is a huge sum.
For a time, the whole country was in an uproar.
Even some players who don't play MOBA games often have started to actively download League of Legends.
In just a few days, the number of downloads of League of Legends once again reached a peak.
On the Starry Sky Games side, from the top management to the employees, all admired Chen.
Mr. Chen is really awesome.
He is simply a marketing god.
Only more than 300,000 yuan was taken out for expenses.
However, it has achieved the publicity effect of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of advertising expenses.
More importantly, advertising does not necessarily attract a large number of new players to download the game.
But fortunately, just a small game has attracted a large number of players to actively download the client.
The online war of words also disappeared.
Some old players who used to criticize this game also secretly downloaded the game.
No one can go against money.
For a time, almost everyone who entered internet cafes across the country was playing League of Legends.
The game hasn't officially started yet, but League of Legends has already completely exploded into the circle.
Even economists commented directly on Weibo, saying that this move by Starry Sky Game was a typical and perfect product marketing.
The game will be held next month, and it is expected that the popularity of this game will only increase in the next month.
Chen Xiao simply made a suggestion and then paid no attention to it.
Because he has real confidence in this game.
After all, there is a ready-made example from the previous life.
In the past, Penguin made a lot of money from this game.
The game is currently still completely free to play. If you want to make a profit, you have to wait until the Hundred Schools Championship is over before launching related paid projects.
Chen Yu at least has some conscience, unlike the penguin in his previous life who was so ruthless.
At least all heroes are free, and at most you can make money by selling skins.
Even if you don’t buy the skins, it doesn’t prevent you from playing all the heroes for free.
This can be considered as Chen's small return to himself and those players who played games in his youth in his previous life.
While working in the office, Chen received a call from the other side of the ocean.
The call was from Musk.
The other party told Chen 꼎 that the company will conduct the latest rocket test flight next week.
He wanted to invite Chen 꼎 to visit the scene and witness it together.
Chen 꼎 smiled and declined.
One reason is that I am too busy with work, and the other is that I just went to the United States some time ago.
Musk felt deeply regretful.
"Chen, I'm so sorry you can't come."
"Without your investment, there would be no rocket test flight."
"I always thought you brought me good luck. So I really hope you can be there that day."
Chen 꼎 laughed heartily.
"I didn't expect you to be superstitious too."
"Although I can't be there, I can still give you my most sincere blessings."
"There's a saying here that's very true: You can't see the rainbow without going through the storm."
"You've failed several times before, but this time, you will definitely succeed."
"Chen, thank you for your encouragement. I will definitely tell you the good news as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Chen 꼎 smiled and shook his head.
It's obvious that Lao Ma is really nervous this time.
If he fails again this time, his career will be severely damaged and no one will invest in him again.
But Chen knew very well that this time, Musk would succeed.
And from this arrow launched, Lao Ma's career will completely take off and soar all the way.
At the end of August, good news came from the United States.
Musk's Dragon spacecraft test flight was successful, completely proving the feasibility of commercial aviation.
For a time, major media outlets around the world rushed to report on the incident.
Musk, who was originally criticized by the American media as a liar, instantly became the darling of the media.
All the American newspapers and media rushed to interview him.
This time, he no longer has to worry about money.
Because after the rocket is successfully launched, Wall Street will have countless people holding up their banknotes wanting to invest.
Musk immediately called Chen 꼎 to report the good news.
On the other end of the phone, Lao Ma was as excited as a child.
He also always insisted that Chen Xiao was his lucky star, and that it was after he met Chen Xiao that his life changed.
This call obviously brought the two closer.
Moreover, during the call, Musk also took the initiative to bring up the matter of increasing investment.
Next, Chen will invest another 30 million US dollars in Musk's company.
At this point, he will surpass old William and become the first major shareholder of Musk.
After that, Chen had almost no possibility of increasing his investment.
His nationality determines that he cannot hold too many shares in the company.
This time, Lao Ma took the initiative to invite Chen 꼎 to quietly make additional investments, which was definitely very thoughtful.
And he was repaying Chen for helping him last time.
After all, the nature of the company is clear. If Ma still dares to allow Chen to increase his shares, the FBI will probably come knocking on the door in the next second.
