I, who love to post on Weibo, have become a professional Tongtian generation

Chapter 482 Performance and Team First Day

Top is still fighting in Berlin.

Belle's headquarters is working on its next strategy.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the contract terms that Top offered to Penicillin, which were more lenient than those for Korean players, were purely to disrupt the situation.

But Belle's goal is not e-sports.

After all, there are only a few companies in LPL that can make a profit, and the pie is too small.

Therefore, in addition to embracing the young market, Belle Group is more preparing for its listing next year.

What is different from Eagle Farming and Animal Husbandry is that the e-sports of large pig farmers is to sell meat floss pancakes, connect the upstream and downstream, and even got an exclusive interview with CCTV (don’t laugh, it’s just called a new e-commerce model to the outside world, embracing Internet+).

“…compared to last month, the share increased by 2.3%.”

“Are you sure it’s fan economy?”

"Anyway, the Internet is very lively."

In the conference room.

As the spokesperson for the investor, Zhang Lei calmly picked up the second quarter revenue report and turned his attention to the expenses incurred by the channel reform and the income brought by the fan economy.

under.

All the executives knew what the higher-ups were planning.

After all, the purpose of spinning off Top Sports and listing it is to fill the hole left by Belle.

As the former shoe king, Belle encountered a similar dilemma as Guirenniao, that is, with the advent of the e-commerce wave, a large number of offline stores have become a burden.

According to public financial statements in 2017, Belle Fashion had more than 2.9 employees at its peak, of which 1.9 were retail staff.

总员工成本分别为48.53亿元、45.28亿元及31.64亿元，占同期收入的比例为20.6%、23.6%及19.6%。

Although the gross profit margin can reach about 65%, the net profit margin is only 11.6%, 6.5% and 12.8% respectively.

After the market value reached the peak of HK$150 billion.

Many brands are moving lightly (e-commerce business), far outperforming Belle in terms of cost control and gross profit margin.

As a result, in just two years, Belle's net profit was halved and it closed an average of two stores every day.

Also.

Belle was not unaware of the crisis. As early as 2008, Belle established Taoxiu.com and Yougou.com online shoe malls.

However, due to the huge offline volume, for the benefit of stores and store managers, online prices cannot be much lower than offline prices. In the end, e-commerce business has become a discount platform for clearing inventory. Sales account for no more than 4%.

2017 October.

With its share price “falling continuously”, Belle chose to privatize and delist. Before the suspension, the share price was HK$5.27 per share, with a market value of HK$444 billion.

Among them, Hillhouse Capital and CDH Investments took the lead and offered 531 billion to help Belle delist and became Belle's major shareholders.

As a golden signboard in the investment industry.

Hillhouse Capital will certainly not pay the full amount.

To raise this part of funds, they first paid HK$98.3 billion according to their shareholding ratio, and then used Belle shares as collateral to obtain debt financing from Bank of America.

In other words, Hillhouse Capital leveraged less than HK$100 billion in cash to acquire a controlling stake worth HK$301 billion.

The problem is that borrowed money has to be repaid, and the interest rate is not low.

After Belle delisted, Hillhouse Capital spent a year gradually transferring its profitable apparel business to Top Sports, planning to package Top Sports for listing and repay debts...

and so.

In addition to sorting out the business, the second most important preparation before listing is to give confidence to the outside world. On the contrary, Anta is not worried about the underwriters at all.

but…

When they found that the e-commerce profits were still growing in the second quarter, the executives were a little confused about what to say. Everyone knows how bleak Belle's e-commerce business was at the beginning.

Even Top's investment in e-sports is purely because its major shareholder has a good relationship with Tencent.

As a result, within less than half a year since its establishment, Top has not only created momentum and attracted topics, but also played a role in bringing in goods.

At least in the Top Esports super topic, many fans spend real money to buy related clothing brands.

Compared with Chuying Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Top is more representative of "fan economy", "new e-commerce model" and "combination of tradition and Internet".

“Is Top Club profitable?”

The people from Dinghui looked at the boss.

“Yes, after winning the Spring Championship, a group of sponsors increased their investment.”

The boss explained the situation: "And the champion skins are on sale, and the hero-themed documentary will be aired in mid-May... Well, the situation in the second half of the year will definitely be better."

"Pay more attention and don't be stingy with promotion expenses." Dinghui's people emphasized: "This year is the most critical year. How well we can perform after listing depends on whether we have done enough preparation."

"Ah."

The boss pondered for a while and then said, "Actually... the e-sports business is more optimistic than I thought. Even if Qin Hao's contract is transferred back to Top, the profit share in the second half of the year is expected to be more than 30 million."

Accustomed to numbers over 100 million.

The executives did not think that 30 million was a lot.

The problem is that I started e-sports just for fun, but I didn't expect that I could use it as an excuse to make a fuss about it - the e-sports market is indeed mostly composed of young people.

"That's great." Dinghui's people gave their praise.

After finishing the meeting.

The boss returned to the office and called Guo Hao: "…Have you reached an agreement on the contract extension? You don't need to tell me the terms. It's all your credit that we were able to reach an agreement."

“Oh, we won the opener.”

“How many trending searches did it appear on?”

talking.

The boss opened the webpage and clicked on the Weibo hot search list.

"That's all it cost?"

The boss waved his hand and said, "Whether I win or lose, I want to see the corresponding entry appear on it."

"By the way, remember to shoot more footage."

"That team channel is doing pretty well. It can increase fan stickiness by spending a little money."

hang up the phone.

The boss lay comfortably in the boss chair.

For him, as long as the e-sports business does not hinder the IPO, it will be his success, not to mention the rise of fan economy or internet celebrity economy, which will become a new direction in the prospectus.

After all, for Belle, the prospectus is not to highlight their confidence, but to make others think that they have the confidence to grow bigger and stronger.

The other end.

After reporting the news of the opening match, Guo Hao was a little excited for a moment. He found that since winning the Spring Championship, the boss praised him more and more.

"Hao, are you hungry?"

Returning to the backstage, Guo Hao saw Qin Hao lying in a recliner with his eyes closed, and he greeted him warmly.

"what?"

Qin Hao opened his eyes and said, "It's our turn in two games." After the opening game against FNC, the third to last game will be against EVS (Vietnam).

Well, EVS unexpectedly defeated GAM. This is the first time that Levi has missed the international stage.

And just now.

FW把EVS虐了，全场人头22:5，Maple岩雀10-0-7超神。

"Ha...I think so."

Guo Hao's current mood is just like that advertisement slogan: feeling cool and excited, extremely refreshed, so he really wants to do something to show his presence.

Subsequently.

KZ steadily defeated TL and won the team's first victory.

Speaking of which, before the game many people thought Khan would choose a solo hero, but in the first match against TL, under the premise that they only banned Shen and Gangplank, KZ chose to use Cho'Gun to deal with Wood's Ornn, which looked quite retro.

“It’s a very team-like game.”

When watching, Lao Zei complained a lot. In his impression, Khan was criticized last year for not liking to keep TP.

"You can't tell against TL, right? Even if Daiki plays Ornn, he can't put pressure on us."

"..."

"Why does KZ like Karma so much? They played it in the regular season, the playoffs, and now they want to grab it as one of the first three picks at MSI."

When saying this.

Lao Ma has looked at Qin Hao a lot. Everyone knows that the LCK playoffs attach great importance to this hero who can swing in three directions.

the reason is simple.

As a tool hero, it is difficult to be countered, and its equipment is cheap, which makes it suitable for helping junglers control the map. Compared with Ryze, the version code of the play-in round, KZ obviously prefers Karma.

In other words, Qin Hao is just the founder of the routine, but he doesn't love it.

This also became one of the evidences of BDD's guilt - compared with 17, BDD has become more of a "tool man", and his output in the league often ranks third.

As a midfielder.

It is hard not to be criticized by the audience for such data.

There is even a conspiracy theory that he lost confidence after being beaten by Qingshen, and became addicted to using laning tolerance to make up for his lack of skills...

emmm.

In a certain poll, more than 6% of the voters believed that pirated products could not beat the genuine products, which has become BDD's inner demon. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why he took the initiative to transform himself into a functional midfielder.

From the spring season to now.

BDD became the person with the least MVP in the team...

"come on!"

With KZ defeating TL through split-lane operations, the next game is Top vs. Vietnam.

Before going on the court, thinking about how EVS was beaten by FW 22:5, Lao Ma joked: "If we finish the game slowly, it shouldn't be difficult to kill 30 people."

"So confident?"

"Flash Wolves can kill 25, we can't be worse than Flash Wolves." Lao Ma muttered, "The opponent's bottom lane is as bad as two diamonds. A Kog'Maw Tam can be killed by Varus Morgana."

This is Mark's attitude towards EVS. He won't even think about losing.

Forget respecting him, he doesn't even know anything about EVS.

"No need to delay deliberately." Qin Hao shook his head: "Just play normally." "Okay."

The old thief agreed: "Finish the fight early and leave work early."

Everyone took the stage again.

Qin Hao was sharp-eyed and noticed that about half of the seats in the audience were empty.

"So much has been withdrawn." Jin Gong said in a surprised tone.

"normal."

Qin Hao said indifferently: "During the interview, I saw someone leave."

“The first show was packed…”

"That's true. Even if they stay, they won't support us." The old thief said unhappily, "I've never been booed when I played in an Internet cafe game."

while chatting.

On the other side of the battle seat, EVS mid laner Wrazone was taking deep breaths to relieve the tension in his heart.

after all…

He often took the initiative to look for Penicillin's highlights, and was often shocked by his idol's positioning and operation. Now that they have become his opponent, his first thought is not to become famous, but to replay his idol's career highlights.

Just like that.

Hearing the coach say to relax and try to seize the opponent's mistakes is no less than the Nine-headed Insect saying to Benboerba: Go and get rid of Tang Seng and his disciples.

They are all mission impossible.

Noticed Wrazone's little movements.

The broadcasting team cut to the contestants' cameras and filmed the two of them.

In the lens.

Qin Hao sat normally, occasionally responding to his teammates. On the other hand, Wrazone kept taking deep breaths and frequently took out tissues to wipe his sweat before the fight, revealing his inner tension and anxiety.

[Is this the power of suppression? ]

[This Vietnamese guy is so funny, the paper changed color when he squeezed it. ]

[Does he have a waterfall physique? How can he sweat so much? 】

[In ancient times, people would turn pale at the mention of tigers, and today, people are uneasy at the mention of green. ]

[Why don't you prepare an oxygen tank? I'm afraid this guy will faint. ]

Wrazone had no idea he was being exposed to a global audience.

When he heard his teammates suggest playing Karma, he picked up a piece of paper and wiped his sweat. It's not that he can't play well, but he doesn't play much.

In normal leagues, he always chooses strong heroes to bully others.

"How about Morgana?"

Wrazone suggested: "I, Morgana...be more confident." Morgana has a black shield and it is not easy for her to fight back.

that's it.

After getting the blue side.

EVS sent Irelia, Leblanc, and Nidalee to the ban position, and then took Ornn from the first floor, obviously picking a big tank in the top lane to drag the game to the late game. Speaking of which, EVS's style is to develop in the three lanes, and the jungler's status is not that high.

"This selection is a bit stable."

"What do we say here? The Captain and the Steel Shadow are outside."

The voice just fell.

Take Spider and Lux ​​on the top 1 and 2 floors.

"Wow, Lux!"

"In that case, wouldn't it be better for AD to add a policewoman?"

"Varus and Kaisa are both OK. With Lux, it's easy to push the bottom lane."

Then, Lee Sin and Morgana were picked on the left, and Varus was added on the third floor. Lao Ze pressed the keyboard and said, "I'm going to bring Comet this time."

"Definitely bring Comet. Our combination has unrivaled consumption ability." Thinking of the scene of the two comets being domineering, Lao Ma raised his voice and said, "Why would the opponent choose Morgana to fight us?"

Entering the second round.

EVS targeted the mid lane and banned Syndra and Ryze.

Haokai commented: "EVS is a bit scared. Four out of five banned mid laners are banned, and they are all heroes that are strong in laning phase."

“We are not afraid to target problems.”

Eleven boasted, "With Haoge's hero pool, there are still many that can be released. Like Taliyah, Card, Jayce, Crocodile, Vampire, Fox, Corki..."

Just like announcing the names of the dishes, Eleven reviewed the heroes used by Penicillin.

I recited it in one breath for almost half a minute.

Just as he was having a hard time catching his breath, Haokai helped to add: "There are also Viktor, Talon, Yasuo, and Nightmare."

eleven:……

Fourth floor.

The old thief helped Jin Gong lock up the crocodile.

“…a classic zoo combination.”

"Ornn needs to be careful in this game. The combination of Crocodile and Elise is strong in their ability to cross towers."

"It seems that Top wants to resolve the battle as quickly as possible. There is not much linkage between the three lanes."

In flattery.

EVS’s last two picks were Jinx and Lulu.

"this…"

Haokai hesitated and said, "Should Lulu go to the middle or the bottom?"

"Double shields, Jinx, and a single tank." Eleven said with a smile, "It seems like they are imitating last year's WE."

"But in the last game, Slay (Vietnam's AD) didn't hold his own in the laning phase."

When the barrage guesses the position.

Seeing that the opponent was leaning towards development and positional warfare, Qin Hao directly said, "Give me the male knife."

"Male sword?"

"locked!"

"I want to speed up, not play it safe."

loading phase.

The lineups of both sides are as follows——

EVS (Blue) Ornn on top, Lee Sin in the jungle, Morgana in the middle, Jinx and Lulu (weak) on the bottom

Top (red) Crocodile on the top, Spider in the jungle, Male Knife in the middle (ignite), Varus (barrier) on the bottom with Lux (healing)
Rune aspect.

Varus' Comet, Qin Hao's main system is Electrocute, and his secondary system is Swiftness in Sorcery. In Qin Hao's view, no matter whether Morgana or Lulu goes mid, he will look for opportunities to kill them in the lane, or move to the side after pushing.

of course.

Qin Hao overestimated the opponent's laning level.

At level 2, he slowly controls the position of the minion line, looking for an opportunity to use W to consume some energy. The moment he reaches level , Qin Hao sees that Morgana is retreating a little slowly, so he decisively crosses the line and kills, relying on his basic movement speed to close the gap.

"Morgana turns around and uses a Q, and Haoge flashes to kill her?!"

Dodge and avoid the Q that is about to get close to your face.

Here.

Qin Hao instantly used AQA to activate Ignite when close to Morgana, caught her, used flash, and then used W to slow her down, then chased her and launched a normal attack, then turned around gracefully.

"A real man never looks back at the explosion! Morgana bled to death!"

The male knife's Q close to the face has a critical hit mechanism and automatically follows up with a normal attack. The kill line is ridiculously high. Qin Hao fully suspects that the opponent has not been in the line with the male knife, otherwise he would never dare to use W to push the line at level 1.

This gives the male swordsman space to chase.

Unless Morgana can hit Q, it is impossible to run.

After quickly getting a single kill in the middle lane, in the jungle, Peanut, with double buffs and Toad leveled up to level 3, directly invaded the opponent's blue zone and waited for Lee Sin to come and deliver.

Just as Peanut thought.

Lee Sin's normal speed 3 is used to refresh the upper part, and the crocodile can push, so this wave can do anything. Near the blue buff, when the spider comes around the wall, the blue buff still has health.

Lee Sin resisted for several times but was unwilling to pull away the hatred. As a result, he was forced to dodge by Spider when he was low on health, and was forced to run to the tower and die with Ornn.

"This is the charm of Crocodile and Spider. This wave at level 3 is really good at creating opportunities."

Less than 4 minutes.

Top holds three heads.

Then, just as Ornn was near the open space, he was eaten by the spider web again.

Seeing this scene, Eleven couldn't help but say: "EVS's players...seem a bit plain. This time, Ornn chose to walk back to the lane from the fountain, which was quite cautious. The problem was that the upper half of the area had already fallen, and he didn't know where Spider was."

Good news came frequently from the upper and middle lanes, and the lower lanes were not lagging behind either.

After fighting two lives with one life, Mark used a Q that penetrated the soldiers to control Jinx who had returned home, helping the old thief to get the kill.

4 minutes 47 seconds.

Head count 0:5.

【Pure human-machine.】

[It’s a bit cruel.]

[I feel that only the Captain's set has a chance to surpass the European and American teams. 】

[Indeed, weak teams cannot play against strong teams, so they have to go to extremes.]

finally.

时间定格在20分11秒，人头1:22，秦浩操控男刀收获9-0-3的战绩。EVS唯一开张的方法，就是不顾一切蹲守开了秒表的蜘蛛。

After the game.

Qin Hao was interviewed by Chinese Stream. When asked what he thought of the strength shown by each team, he once again praised FNC.

“I think they’re pretty strong.”
