Full-time Master: Rebirth of Tao Xuan, Revitalization of Excellent Era

On June 6th, Tao Xuan was busy promoting Team Excellent Era's playoffs.

Every year from the end of the regular season to the start of the playoffs, the week is an opportunity for teams that are lucky enough to enter the playoffs to hype themselves up.

It is also an opportunity for playoff teams to seize the opportunity to make money.

Promoted well, not only can the e-sports stadium be full for every game, but it can also drive a lot of consumption.

As for how to promote and how to make more money through promotion, it can be said that Excellent Era has rich experience in this matter.

But as the boss of Excellent Era, Tao Xuan is still quite busy.

No, just after finishing a small meeting at noon, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"Enter!"

At Tao Xuan's voice, Cui Li walked in with a man about sixty years old.

Seeing this person, Tao Xuan quickly stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Hua! What kind of wind brings you here?"

The person who came was none other than Hua Renjie, the chairman of Huasheng Group.

It was a bit surprising to see Hua Renjie Tao Xuan, but it was also expected.

Excellent Era's cooperation and endorsement years ago were gone. Now that Excellent Era has returned to the playoffs, many sponsors who gave up cooperation with Excellent Era are licking their faces and want to turn back.

Today he has received calls from more than a dozen sponsors, but he has rejected them all.

Now that Excellent Era has risen, if you want to cooperate with Excellent Era, you must come to Excellent Era in person, so that you can be sincere.

Tao Xuan ignored the perfunctory and disrespectful behavior of making phone calls.

Hua Renjie obviously knew this, so he came directly without calling anyone. This was enough to show that Hua Renjie came with sincerity.

Looking at Tao Xuan who was pretending to be enthusiastic, Hua Renjie smiled slightly and said, "We haven't seen you for a few months, Mr. Tao is in high spirits!"

Tao Xuan laughed and said politely: "No, I'm far behind compared to you."

While speaking, he also gave Cui Li a look. Cui Li paid attention and quickly walked to the coffee table to make tea.

Tao Xuan also said: "Mr. Hua, please have a seat."

Hua Renjie sat in the guest seat and looked at Tao Xuan without beating around the bush: "I came here today just to talk to Excellent Era about contract renewal. After all, Hua Sheng and Excellent Era have been partners for many years. I want to Do you think this relationship should continue, Mr. Tao?"

"Okay, but I don't know how Mr. Hua wants to maintain it?" Tao Xuan looked at Hua Renjie with a smile.

Hua Renjie said: "It's still the old rule, 50 million a year, signed at one time for three years."

Tao Xuan smiled: "Mr. Hua, Honor is developing at a rapid pace. The base of Honor players is getting bigger and bigger, and the market share continues to expand. When Excellent Era won the championship for the first time seven years ago, our cooperation was 50 million. One year, it’s still 50 million now.”

Tao Xuan didn't finish his words, but the meaning was obvious.

Now 50 million people want to sign them with Excellent Era, which is too little!

Hua Renjie also smiled: "Mr. Tao, first of all I want to congratulate you. Excellent Era can return to the playoffs this year. This is really beyond my expectation. But you must know that the contract seven years ago That's when Excellent Era won the championship. It's a championship team and has great development potential. I'm optimistic that you can win another championship, so I offered you a sky-high price contract of 50 million a year."

Tao Xuan did not refute Hua Renjie's words.

The 50 million contract seven years ago was indeed a sky-high price.

After all, not to mention that money was more valuable at that time than it is now, the Honor market at that time had just entered the development stage, and there was no way to compare with the current Honor Alliance.

At that time, many professional players had no salary, which shows how miserable the e-sports market was at that time.

But now the annual salary of top players is in the tens of millions, and the base number of Honor players is also in hundreds of millions, so it is much easier to make money in Honor now than before.

But that's exactly what happened, so if you still want to sign Excellent Era for 50 million, that's absolutely impossible.

Hua Renjie continued: "In the past six or seven years, as Glory has developed better and better, your Excellent Era's performance has been worse than the previous year. However, my sponsorship for you has not reduced the amount. It’s still the standard of 50 million per year. Isn’t this treating you Excellent Era poorly?”

"No, thank you Mr. Hua for taking care of me these years." Tao Xuan said gratefully.

Since the fourth season, Excellent Era's record has indeed been on a downward trend, but Hua Sheng has not reduced its endorsement fee just because Excellent Era's record has declined.

Hua Renjie is quite interesting about this.

However, despite the decline in Excellent Era's record, the influence of Excellent Era's three consecutive championships is still there. As long as Excellent Era can enter the playoffs, it will still be the most promising team in the league.

So the annual endorsement fee of 50 million is still worth it.

I saw Hua Renjie continue to say: "This season, your Excellent Era record has dropped all the way to the lottery area. It really makes us lose hope. So I ended the cooperation with you under the pressure of the board of directors. I just didn't expect that you would still be there." Since Excellent Era can make it back to the playoffs in the second half of the season, we will keep our previous contract, which is 50 million a year. This is what I fought for under the pressure of the board of directors. Mr. Tao, what do you think?"

Tao Xuan smiled. This old guy Hua Renjie is very clever. The pressure from the board of directors is purely to deceive people. To put it bluntly, he wants to use this to lower the price.

But according to what Hua Renjie said, if they just enter the playoffs, 50 million a year is indeed no problem. After all, the sponsorship that Excellent Era received before was at this price.

But Excellent Era's current ambition is not as simple as the playoffs.

So Tao Xuan said directly: "Mr. Hua, Excellent Era is different now. The playoffs are no longer the goal of Excellent Era."

Hua Renjie pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Mr. Tao, do you still want to miss the championship? It's already a miracle that you can rush from the bottom to the playoffs. I advise you to be realistic."

At this time, Cui Li had already made tea. Tao Xuan poured a cup and put it in front of Hua Renjie. Then he said: "Mr. Hua, our Excellent Era is the top team in the league. The reason why we did not perform well in the first half of the season is , mainly due to the emergence of moths in the team, which destroyed the team's cooperation. Now that I have reorganized the Excellent Era team, it can naturally return to its original level."

"Your Excellent Era has returned to its original level, and our Huasheng's sponsorship has also returned to its original level. Everyone is happy."

Hua Renjie also smiled. The original level of Excellent Era, just take the last season and the season before that, Excellent Era was only in the second round of the playoffs. It couldn't make it to the finals, let alone win the championship. .

Excellent Era like this can only get 5000 million in sponsorship fees.

But Tao Xuan smiled and said: "Mr. Hua, I'm talking about the level during the three consecutive championships."

Hua Renjie was a little surprised and looked straight at Tao Xuan: "Oh? Mr. Tao is so confident?"

"Of course, because our strength lies here."

"Just based on what kind of individual gameplay Ye Qiu created?"

"Not just in individual play, we in Excellent Era are on the rise in an all-round way. There are still few helpers around Ye Qiu this season, but next season, there will be many capable helpers around Ye Qiu." Tao Xuan said.

"So are you planning to compete for the championship next season?" Hua Renjie asked again.

"Why can't we start this season?" Tao Xuan asked.

"You just said that Ye Qiu has no helpers around him."

"But this season, all teams are still unfamiliar with Sanren gameplay. Ye Qiu has no solution this year. With Ye Qiu here, the chance of winning is half!"

Tao Xuan paused for a moment, then continued: "What's more, we in Excellent Era still have a trump card."

"What trump card?" Hua Renjie asked in surprise.

Tao Xuan smiled slightly: "I can't tell you what the trump card is. You just need to know that if Excellent Era wins the championship this year, it will rewrite the history of Glory again, and the popularity of Excellent Era will be pushed to unimaginable heights."

"Having said that, Excellent Era will face Samsara, which has the highest demand for winning the championship, in the first round. You can't even get past the first round, so why are you talking about winning the championship?"

"On May 9th, we faced Samsara, and we won."

"Winning at home doesn't mean we can win on the road."

"But it at least represents 50% hope."

Hua Renjie was silent.

Tao Xuan was absolutely right. The reason why he came to Excellent Era today was because he had a 50% chance of a counterattack in Excellent Era.

Although the 50% chance is half or half, it is enough for e-sports.

After all, no one dares to say 100% in e-sports.

Seeing that Hua Renjie was silent, Tao Xuan continued to increase his power: "Mr. Hua, you have to know that if Excellent Era succeeds in counterattacking this year, it will be a Black Eight Miracle. This is a miracle that has never happened since the establishment of the Glory Alliance. , then Excellent Era will be very popular, and if you sign a big contract with Excellent Era at this time, your Huasheng stock will definitely rise accordingly."

"If Excellent Era sings all the way, counterattacks all the way, and finally wins the championship, then Excellent Era will create an unprecedented miracle this year, and the popularity will definitely be no worse than the three consecutive championships back then."

"Mr. Hua is the one who best understands the enthusiasm when Excellent Era won three consecutive championships. If I remember correctly, Huasheng Group's stock price hit the daily limit that day."

Faced with Tao Xuan's wave after wave of words, Hua Renjie's psychological defense was finally broken, and he smiled helplessly: "Mr. Tao, you are so eloquent, I am speechless."

Tao Xuan smiled and was filled with confidence: "This is not about eloquence, but because I have such confidence that I dare to say such things."

"Then how much sponsorship do you want?" Hua Renjie asked.

Tao Xuan stretched out a finger: "One hundred million a year, signed for three years."

Hua Renjie looked straight at Tao Xuan, as if he wanted to see whether Tao Xuan was really confident or just pretending.

After a long time, Hua Renjie seemed to have made up his mind, and then nodded: "Okay! With your confidence, Brother Tao, I, Hua, will bet this round with you Excellent Era, which can be regarded as a top prize." This is compensation for refusing to renew the contract for the first time.”

Tao Xuan smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Hua. I dare say that this cooperation will be the most beautiful decision you have made since investing in the Glory League. In the next three years, Mr. Hua, you will wait for the stock to rise sharply. The market value will soar."

Hua Renjie also laughed: "Then let me borrow your good words from my brother."
