Chapter 382 Discussion on the Host City of S4 Global Finals

"I will discuss this matter with Mr. Ma when the time comes. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Go on to the second thing."

Since Tencent’s action is not aimed at Totoro, and Totoro has already been deeply bound with Tencent.

Then these copyright restrictions are probably just a matter of a word, and he doesn't even need to communicate and confirm in person.

Not to mention the live broadcast authorization for League of Legends, but their company had it written in black and white in the exclusive broadcast contract for the S game.

Fortunately, they had a trick up their sleeve back then, and with Tencent adding fuel to the fire, their Totoro Live is really in a safe position.

"The second thing is still related to Riot Games, and the vice president, Sess, who has been in contact with our company."

"They said they wanted to hold this year's global finals in our domestic city."

“Ask our company if it’s willing to co-host it?”

"Really?"

Jiang Hao, who was sitting by the window drinking coffee, put down the coffee in his hand at this moment.

A hint of surprise flashed across his face. This news was truly a pleasant surprise for him!

"What about Tencent? Won't their group undertake the event?"

"Tencent is also co-hosting the event, but from what Vice President Cethers said, it seems that he prefers our company."

As he was speaking, Zhan Liang's phone vibrated again.

He was originally going to hang up the call, but after seeing the name of the caller, he looked up at Jiang Hao.

"Boss Jiang, this is Vice President Cethers calling. Do you want to answer it?"

What a coincidence!

If he remembered correctly, the last time he talked about him with Zhan Liang, the vice president of Riot called him.

His English was really poor at that time, so he finally asked Zhan Liang to be responsible for communication and translation.

At Jiang Hao's nod, Zhan Liang picked up the phone.

While turning on the speakerphone, he was ready to communicate with Vice President Cethers on behalf of Jiang Hao.

"It's okay, I'll do it this time."

Jiang Hao took the phone from Zhan Liang and focused on studying English since his last embarrassing experience in spoken English.

I hired a foreign teacher to take a two-month crash course, and then I often practiced with my senior teacher.

The purpose is to ensure that one day in the future I will be able to excel when I need to use English.

Now he finally got the chance, and it was Mr. Cesar from last time.

"Hello, Mr. Cece, I'm Jiang Hao from Totoro Technology."

Although the pronunciation is still stiff, the intonation also has a sense of Chinese English.

But fortunately, there was no problem at all in communication. At least my spoken foreign language level was not much different from Zhan Liang’s.

"Wow! Hello, Mr. Jiang, your English has improved a lot!"

Compared to the last time when he could only understand a few words here and there, this time the communication was completely smooth.

Especially when Sethes praised him, he understood it very clearly. It turned out that his efforts were not in vain!

"Mr. Sess, I heard that you plan to hold the S4 finals this year in our country?"

"Yes, I have considered this."

“Have you chosen any specific city?”

After all, Riot Games is looking for a co-organizer, so the organizer must be Riot Games itself.

I remember that the first S-League was held in China 17 years ago.

It has only been 14 years now, and I never expected that there would be a chance to hold it in the country.

In the past two years, just the branch venues have already attracted a lot of traffic for their company, Longmao Technology.

Now if the finals can really be held in the country, it will be of infinite benefit to Totoro.

"Our company's team has discussed and would like to choose from several places including your country's capital, Shanghai, Songjiang City, Shenzhou City, etc."

"I don't know if you have any better suggestions, Mr. Jiang?"

Unexpectedly, Riot Games itself had considered Songjiang City, which was somewhat beyond Jiang Hao's expectations.

Originally, he thought he would have to spend some time to introduce and recommend Songjiang City to Mr. Cesars.

You should know that compared with several other cities, Songjiang City is not well-known internationally.

At the same time, although the economy has developed well, it cannot be compared with these first-tier cities.

Now that he was asked for his opinion, Jiang Hao quickly mentioned Songjiang City, trying to get Mr. Cethers to give it more consideration.

"Mr. Seth, I think from the perspective of hosting the finals alone, the most comprehensive one is the Magic City."

"Whether it's considering population size and structure, or transportation and economy, choosing Magic City is the most appropriate."

"The next one is Songjiang City, which is also a big city in our country."

“Although its economy is not as good as the other cities you mentioned, Songjiang City has now earned the reputation of being the capital of e-sports.”

"It is generally believed that e-sports competitions will be held in Songjiang City, and the city is very supportive of e-sports. A new dedicated e-sports venue has recently been built."

"I think you can consider both, even having the finals and semi-finals in different cities."

Jiang Hao didn't think much about the venue for the finals.

No matter how good the e-sports atmosphere and other foundations in Songjiang City are, it is not on the same level as the Magic League.

If we want to commercialize it, including the final effect of the event, we can only maximize profits by holding it in Shanghai.

But if some group matches and even the semi-finals are held in Songjiang City, they will have a chance.

A city’s acceptance of e-sports is also a key factor in Riot Games’ selection.

"Mr. Jiang, I think your suggestion is great!"

"If we finally decide to hold the competition in China, would your company be willing to co-host the event with our Riot Games?"

"no problem!"

"Mr. Sethers, if you really want to hold a competition in China, I can help you contact the mayor of Songjiang City."

"He is working hard to promote e-sports related industries. At least in Songjiang City, it will be easy for us to negotiate."

At this moment, Jiang Hao finally remembered Mayor You, with whom he had met and chatted some time ago.

At that time, he was also thinking about how the city could promote the development of the e-sports industry and asked him for advice.

Now that the opportunity has come, Mr. Ceases probably hasn't communicated directly with the city.

He can be the matchmaker.

Compared to whether other cities allow e-sports events to be held, at least in Songjiang City Jiang Hao can give him a guarantee.

"Oh! That's awesome!"

"Mr. Jiang, please help us communicate with the mayor. If possible, I will bring the company team over here soon."

“The final decision was made on the event, including the city.”

"At the same time, regarding the broadcasting rights for next year's event, I also hope to continue cooperating with you, President Jiang."

"Haha! Mr. Sethers, on behalf of Totoro Technology, I welcome you to Songjiang at any time!"

Today is such a day full of good news.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Sethers gave him a surprise near the end.

Not only hosting events, we are willing to give priority consideration to Songjiang City.

And they plan to negotiate with him first about the broadcasting rights for the following year's event, rather than approaching multiple parties for bidding.

This means that the broadcasting rights will most likely continue to be in the hands of their Chinchillas.
