Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

for that.

The indoor scenes, the interactions between the players and the game elements, the style of the transition, and so on were all very inspiring.
The quality of the promotional film would not lose out to GOG’s global invitational film.

Zhao Xuming knew very well that there was only one standard for shooting a promotional video – win against Tengda.

As long as he could win against Tengda, he would have a satisfactory explanation for both Finger Games and IOI players.

He had spent a huge sum of money on setting up the indoor scenes and hiring a filming team.
He had finally gotten something in return.

Zhao Xuming was pleased with himself as he watched the promotional video another two times.

“It’s a pity that the lines are a little awkward,” said Zhao Xuming.

The assistant nodded.
“Yes, a little, but that can’t be helped.”

“The filming team does not know enough about IOI.
In order to ensure that the theme of the promotional film does not go astray, we have to write our own lines.
The players are not professional voice actors.
It is very difficult to get a suitable voice and tone from them.
They can only do their best.
They will be more or less awkward.”

“However, there are pros and cons to retaining the contestant’s original voices.
At the moment, it looks acceptable.”

Zhao Xuming continued, “Why are there so many scenes of the members of the FV Club? What’s more, they look so handsome.
The other two clubs feel so inferior.”

He instinctively felt unhappy.

Now, the entire world knew that the FV Club was a club that Boss Pei had invested in.
It was a competitor with GOG through and through.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were undercover spies.

FV Club had won the qualifiers and obtained the number one seeded spot in the international competition.
That was already a slap in the face.
Yet, they were still an absolute C position in the promotional video.
The other two teams had become spare tires.
That made Zhao Xuming instinctively unhappy.

The assistant was helpless.
“Boss Zhao, there’s nothing we can do.”

“The players of FV Club have a good image and temperament.
They are like models compared to the internet addicts of other teams.
In order to ensure the best effect, the filming team would definitely give them more shots since they were also more handsome than the other team.”

“What’s more, FV is the number one seed in our competition zone.
If they don’t stand in the C position, people will definitely say that we’re petty and suppressing FV Club.
It’s very hard on us.”

Zhao Xuming nodded helplessly.
“Alright.”

He could only blame the other two teams for being disappointing.
They would have been in the attention if they had obtained the first seeded entry, right?

Zhao Xuming watched the promotional video two more times.
The more he looked at the members of FV Club, the more he disliked them.

However, he had no better idea.
He could only reluctantly say, “Alright, then choose a suitable time to release this promotional video.”

“After posting it, buy some popularity on the internet.
Don’t make it look too ugly, it can’t be less popular than GOG’s global invitational film at the very least.”

The assistant nodded.
“You don’t have to worry about that.
I’ll definitely settle everything!”

He was about to leave when Zhao Xuming stopped him.

“Wait a minute.
There’s also the preparation for the international competition.
What’s the current situation?” Zhao Xuming asked.

The assistant replied, “According to the previous arrangements, the World Server has been updated with a new version.
The clubs overseas have all been training with a new version.”

“The update for our domestic server would be one week later, that means we’ll only get the version update on Monday or so.overseas.
However, the players in the clubs are currently playing ranking and training competitions in the world server.
The impact is not that big.”

Zhao Xuming looked pensive.

Finger Games was going to use the new version for the international competition.
All the clubs knew about this.

It was understandable that Chrétien wanted to use the World Finals to show the new version of IOI to players around the world.
However, he had to update the version in advance to let players familiarize themselves with it so that the teams could train in the environment of the new version.

The battle teams were more or less dissatisfied.
After all, there were many changes in the new version.
It would be very trying on the team’s learning and adjustment ability to adapt to these changes in such a short period of time.
It also tested the team’s ability to train heroes.

However, everyone had to start from scratch considering that all the teams had to train and learn.
It was not particularly unfair, so while most teams only complained and they did not protest too intensely.

Zhao Xuming pondered for a moment and asked, “Are foreign teams better trained than domestic teams?”

The assistant nodded.
“Of course, Boss Zhao.”

“The foreign teams are all in World Server.
There are no delays and they can communicate with their teammates.
Rank’s environment is much better than our domestic server.
What’s more, the veteran E-Sports Clubs in Europe and the United States are all in contact with each other.
They can arrange for frequent training competitions.
If many teams train together, they will naturally improve faster.”

“There are only three teams in our country.
The other two clubs are not on good terms with the FV Club.
It would be difficult for them to achieve good results.”

Zhao Xuming nodded.
After some consideration, he said, “How about this? Contact Finger Games.
I’ll arrange for the players to go to Los Angeles in advance!”

The assistant was stunned.
“Go in advance?”

Zhao Xuming: “That’s right.
We’ll go there in advance.
On one hand, we can get used to the living environment there in advance so that we are able to adapt.
On the other hand, we can train in the environment in the world with low delays.
We can also arrange for training competitions with the veteran clubs in Europe and America.
That would improve our results.”

“While we will probably not be able to win the European or American championship, we’ll still be able to keep up if we sharpen our guns at the last minute.
If we lose too badly, we won’t be able to keep our faces.”

“As for the expenses, it’s nothing more than taking out more money for food and accommodation.
We’ll reimburse the clubs this bit of money so that they have to train hard and fight well.
Don’t disgrace our Long Yu Corporation!”

The assistant nodded hurriedly.
“Alright, Boss Zhao, that’s a good idea! I’ll go and talk to Finger Games and book the air tickets and accommodation in advance!”
