Journey of a Thousand Miles

"Uh," Lilac Kiss hurriedly explained, "No, you guys are still competing under the title of My Name Clan, and I'm the behind-the-scenes boss of the investment—"

"No." Qianli replied in a second.

"Why? You don't even want to take care of you or pay you?" Lilac Kiss said angrily.

"I don't like having you as my boss." Qianli said.

"...Damn, what kind of stupid reason is this, I've always wanted to form my own team, I think it should be fun!" Lilac Kiss was full of yearning.

"What's your reason?" Qianli glanced at him.

"I can't make the match," Lilac Kiss said seriously, "but I can be the boss."

Because, he is rich.

"Do you think I'm Aladdin's magic lamp? Do you still have to fulfill your wish?" Qianli said happily.

"Huh?" Aladdin's magic lamp on the other side of the hall pricked up his ears keenly.

"Can you stop being so heartless!" Lilac Kiss shouted.

"No." Qianli was unmoved.

"..." Lilac Kiss gritted her teeth, "What are the conditions? Go ahead!"

"No."

"All the prize money belongs to you!"

"nonsense."

"Are you looking for a fight?"

"No."

Everyone in the Clan of My Name carefully watched their conversation, and they all raised their postures with emotion—I always thought that the boss who spent money like water was my father, but I didn’t expect that there would be a boss who would take the initiative to ask someone to let him be the boss.

Lilac Kiss was a bit lost, suddenly, his eyes fell on Wu Jiu, as if he found new hope, he hurriedly said, "No, what you say doesn't count, you have to listen to Wu Jiu."

"Why?" Thousand Miles stuck his neck.

"Brother Ren Wu Jiu is the head of the family!" Lilac Kiss said.

"Okay," Wu Jiu came out with a smile to smooth things over, and kissed Ding Xiangzhi, "Let's discuss what you said first, and then I'll give you an answer."

Ding Xiangzhi's eyes lit up, listening to Wu Jiu's tone, there is something to be said for it!

Wu Jiu was not a perfunctory lilac kiss, after he left, Wu Jiu really called the other five people into the conference room to discuss the matter.

"I think Lilac Kiss's suggestion is feasible." Wu Jiu was the first to express his opinion.

"Isn't it?" Qianli curled his lips, "To be a boss is equivalent to handing over the power of life and death, and there will be no freedom in the future."

"Ah? Will it be like this?" Shura said stupidly, "Didn't he mean sponsorship when he said investment?"

"The meaning of Lilac Kiss is more inclined to independent investors...it's not the same as sponsors." Wugui said.

"To put it bluntly, it's the boss." Qianli said.

"I don't want to hand over the power of life and death," Wu Jiu said, "so I think we can make a compromise and discuss with them in the form of sponsorship instead of independent investment."

"But they are not merchants, sponsoring a wool? That guy just wanted to be the boss's addiction, so he is willing to do such a loss?" Qianli questioned.

The two of you talk to each other, and the other four can only listen. Shura, Chongchong, and 33 don't know much about the e-sports world. Even if Mosquito pays attention to these fields occasionally, it only stays in watching games and gossip. , the information that is understood is very superficial.

Seeing everyone's blank eyes, Wu Jiu said, "Nowadays, many professional clubs in the e-sports world basically have investors or sponsors. Everyone knows that, right?"

Several people shook their heads.Why would they know such a thing...

"Um..." Wujiu paused, "The investors of domestic teams are generally personal, such as rich second-generation, local tyrants, etc., out of interest, and there are not many corporate sponsors. In country H, where the e-sports industry is highly mature, the sponsors of professional teams are almost all big companies."

"Well," Qianli nodded, "And those rich second generations are not just any rich second generations, they are all the top super rich in China, they are the topic of the media every minute, just like the little local tyrants like Lilac Kiss... in others It’s not enough to see in front of you.”

Everyone suddenly realized.At that time, they still felt that Lilac Kiss sent money to thousands of miles and they still didn't accept it. It was hard to understand, but now they understand, could it be that Qianli is just putting a long line to catch big fish, waiting for the super rich to take care of them?

"Don't think too much," Qianli seemed to guess what they were thinking, "Now we have no fart results, and the LDM league is only the first. There are so many potential stocks ahead of us, and the super rich look down on us."

Wugui smiled, that's the truth.

"And," Qianli continued, "investment sounds good, but there are gains and losses. With a boss on top, we are equivalent to part-time workers, ranging from daily work and rest to external coaches, competitions, etc. Changes in personnel, cooperation with sponsors, etc. are all out of our turn, and the boss can ignore what the players think, and players who are not strong enough may be withdrawn in minutes."

Shura was taken aback.

Not strong enough players...

Could it be... that Qianli refused Lilac Kiss in order to keep everyone in the team from beginning to end?

Oops... Shura felt his eye sockets moist for a moment, so he held back forcefully.

It’s really comfortable to not worry about food and clothing and have extra money. However, they don’t want to be part-time workers. It doesn’t matter why they played this game in the first place. They continue to play now. They decided to join the professional league because of this team. Whether these partners are fate or fate, they met, got acquainted, and got to know each other, and they have come to this day in a stumbling, noisy, laughing and cursing way.

It is so desirable to be able to climb that steep peak without restraint together with you.

There is no other way.

"It's okay!" Shura slammed the table and stood up abruptly, "If the money is not enough, I will help! My savings can still last for a while!"

Shura, who suddenly broke out in the small universe, shocked everyone, "We won't be so miserable..." Wu Jiu said, "The house is settled, and if you want to send your game equipment, just send your own. Life problems... We don’t need a coach, nor do we need an agent, and the other staff and cooking aunts can’t afford it, so we have to work harder.”

"I'll be fine for a year or so." Shura said proudly.

"I can barely do it. Anyway, I have nothing to spend except food." 33 said.

"Me too." Chongchong said concisely.

Regarding Chongchong's straightforwardness, everyone has misgivings: this little girl is able to play games unscrupulously when her college entrance examination is about to come, she can make the decision to become a professional player without consulting her family, and she doesn't have to worry about the economy. Is it possible that she is another rich and willful young lady from a wealthy family?But Shura is sure not to be. It is impossible for a girl from a wealthy family to maintain a plain face at the age of 17, and Chongchong’s clothes are all brand-name goods that cannot be named. Mystery, this is really the biggest unsolved mystery of the My Name Clan .

"Brother Savings still has some..." Mosquito was calm on the face, but sad in his heart.Those savings are all saved by him every month to buy a house and marry a wife in a few years... Oh, that's all, everything is God's will...

"..." Qianli fell into silence.He is the same as 33, except for food, he has nothing to spend, and he eats much less than 33, Wu Jiu also paid the rent in advance, even so... Qianli still can't live happily.

However, the matter has come to this point, is there a way out?there is none left!The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, at worst, he will go to sell himself to work again...

"I think," Wu Jiu looked around the crowd and said, "There is no need to completely reject Lilac Kiss's proposal, and the form of sponsorship can minimize the constraints on us."

"Then isn't it equivalent to spending money and getting nothing?" Qianli said.The reason why sponsors are called sponsors is to show that they are commercial activities, and the purpose is to obtain commercial benefits through the advertising effect of the team. Lilac Kiss sponsors them, which can be said to be profitable.

Wugui smiled meaningfully, "Well, I'll go talk to them tonight."

This matter was handed over to Wu Jiu, who was very efficient. He really went to the guild base of Ragnarok alone at night, and when he came back, he told them that they had basically negotiated and only needed to finalize the details.

Ragnarok has become a non-exclusive sponsor of My Names, sponsoring a certain amount of money every month, and must not interfere with the affairs of My Names guild and team. The obligation of My Names is to publicly express God Twilight Guild is their sponsor.

Acting as a sponsor in the name of a guild is not without precedent in the e-sports industry. However, it is a formal organization. It is called a guild, but it is equivalent to a huge group. It is not like Ragnarok... It is all based on a will Just do it.

"Okay," Wu Jiu said, "Our life is guaranteed, just save some money."

"I'll go..." Qianli almost looked at Wu Jiu with admiration, "How did you fool them?"

"I'm not you," Wu Jiu glanced at him, "I'm using legitimate negotiation methods." He is not interested in shopping malls, but at least he has experienced in his parents' company and learned a lot.

The happiest one was not the benefited members of the My Name Clan, but Lilac Kiss—"Hahahahahahaha—call me Dad!"

"No." Qianli's tone remained unchanged.

"Damn, cannibals have soft mouths, do you understand?" Lilac Kiss angrily.

"I've been eating it for so long, and now it's already soft." Qianli didn't take it seriously.

"Heh heh heh, I say you guys, behave well, otherwise I'll be disappointed—"

"Ding--"

call ended.

"..."

Lilac Kiss's veins twitched violently, he clenched his fists, that bastard, next time we meet, don't teach him that he is a grandson!

Time passed quickly, and it was the first ten days of April in just a few clicks. Shura had sorted things out, and as he said, he was the second to arrive at the base camp in S City after thousands of miles.

Shura arrived late, and when Wugui picked him up, Qianli had just logged out of the game, "Wow, that's good—" As soon as he entered the door, Shura also expressed his amazement, the hall was almost empty except for two computers and connecting devices. Wugui and Qianli belong to the type of simple life. The few daily necessities are placed in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, making the whole living room look simple and elegant.
