I stole someone else's ticket to rebirth

Chapter 279 Pick-up
There is still some gap in the communication between Li Yang and Dou Ying.

Including but not limited to, during the meal, Dou Ying mentioned Jiang Banxia's pregnancy, and also said a few words like Li Yang had already graduated and it was time for him to share some of the pressure with Jiang Banxia.

Li Yang naturally nodded in agreement.

Dou Ying did not directly say that Li Yang was not doing his job properly and was playing e-sports games, as that would be too straightforward.

She thought Li Yang agreed.

As a result, Li Yang left as soon as he got off the bus, saying that he had to catch a flight to Po County the next day.

After Li Yang left, Dou Ying found Jiang Banxia and said unhappily, "Xia Xia, you should also take care of Li Yang in the future. You two are married now. He should either go to work to share your pressure or return to the family. Why is he playing games all day now?"

"Ah? Playing games is great, there are prizes."

"Is it about the bonus? I know you want Li Yang to have a sense of presence in this family. After all, none of the projects he worked on made money, and earning a little bonus is also a man's face. But why do I need to save face in front of you? His little bonus is not worth letting you rest for one more night."

Dou Ying did not say these words to Li Yang in person, which was considered very restrained.

Who made Jiang Banxia stand in another dimension now?

Jiang Banxia explained, "Mom, he's also very busy. Don't think that the projects he's working on now don't make money. In fact, they are all very powerful projects. In a few years, you will know that he is more powerful than me."

"I didn't talk about his other work, I just talked about his playing. He plays for a month and doesn't care about the kids. When his wife is pregnant, he comes home to stay for one night."

"I didn't take care of the children..."

Dou Ying: "..."

She was so angry that she had nothing to say.

Jiang Banxia is really stubborn!

She insisted on marrying Li Yang and didn't care about all the conflicts now.

What’s the point?
Jiang Banxia didn't know how to explain this to Dou Ying, so she could only lie on her shoulder and act coquettishly, "Mom, I'm actually not that busy. You can get pregnant if I want to, and not go to the company if you don't want to."

"That's because you arranged it in advance."

"Mom, you worked in the financial industry before. How could it be so easy to manage hundreds of billions of funds? Any fund company with a scale of hundreds of billions has at least 20 to 30 fund managers busy and hundreds of teams in charge. What about Wanliu Capital? So far, there are only 12 departments, and the various teams add up to only a dozen people. The fund managers are even fewer, only six in total. In fact... he is the one who helps with the most tiring work in the company..."

The most troublesome thing in the financial industry is the layout direction, especially for large-scale fund companies.

One mistake may result in losses of billions or even tens of billions.

Dou Ying couldn't tell whether this was an excuse Jiang Banxia made for Li Yang or it was real.

"Okay, you stay at home for the time being, and don't go to the new house. I'll make you something delicious."

"Okay okay."

Jiang Banxia still likes living at home very much.

When facing Wang Cuiping and Li Likun, I don’t feel as comfortable as at home.

She knew very well that she could not integrate into anyone else's life except Li Yang's.

The same goes for Li Yang. If he hadn't come to find me, he probably wouldn't have stayed here for a night.

The social costs for both of them are too high now, and the sunk time costs are also high, so they will resist subconsciously.

……

Li Yang cherishes his opportunity to go abroad.

It is possible that this will only happen once in this life, and there will probably be no such opportunity again in the future.

So after arriving in Po County, Li Yang started video chatting with Jiang Banxia, ​​because Jiang Banxia was destined to never have the chance to go abroad in this life.

No one is at ease.

Doesn’t Wall Street hate Jiang Banxia?
Of course I hate it!
Because of Jiang Banxia, ​​they cut less leeks.

They just use their titles as stock gods to attract global investors to help them carry the sedan chair.

In other words, A-shares will fall flat from time to time. If A-shares are allowed to continue rising, the so-called stock god will definitely publicize that he has entered the A-share market at a certain price... After the price reaches a high level, he will release news of reducing his holdings.

Now, the title of Stock God has been snatched away by Jiang Banxia. You can imagine how much they want to kill Jiang Banxia.

Titles like the world's richest man or the stock god may not mean much to the person concerned, but they are of great significance to the whole world.

"Wife, the environment in Po County is pretty good, right?"

"Ah? Why do you suddenly say that? I remember you weren't interested in foreign countries and never praised them for being so good."

"Hahahaha...did I say it's not possible abroad?"

"There were a few times when I showed you travel videos abroad, and you looked at them with disdain..."

"All travel videos have filters. What I'm saying is that the cultural environment in Po County is really good. Let's spend some money to make Jiangcheng look like this... An analyst in our team just ran out to smoke and was almost whipped. Fortunately, he explained it and the situation was not particularly serious, so he was spared."

"Ah? You also want to set such a rule in Jiangcheng? Do you believe it if someone hits you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have the power to make laws. Don't talk nonsense. I'm just saying... people are punished for uncivilized behavior, but we can encourage civilized behavior."

"Yeah, it seems possible..."

"Also, I'm planning to open a hospital in Jiangbei. What do you think? The hospital in the county is too lame. I don't even feel comfortable treating a cold there."

"Okay, I'll find someone to get some resources then."

"Ah? My wife is also starting to learn shamelessness from me now?"

"Emm, mainly because I think I have to pay a lot of taxes next year. The financial industry hasn't caused any trouble for others. We have paid so much for no reason. You should at least give us some benefits, right?"

"That's absolutely right! Otherwise we can just find an excuse to delay it for a few years!"

……

A week later, Li Yang's team officially started the competition, from twenty-four to sixteen.

Everything went smoothly all the way, and in the knockout stage, the Koala team remained at the top.

However, the North American region has made significant progress and can basically keep up with the Koala Team.

At this time, the LOL World Finals next door ended.

There is no doubt that because of Li Yang's presence, the S8 team was dismantled, and the best team in LPL this year is only in the top four.

And that team was very strong and had very good luck.

In the draw for the semi-finals, we got the weakest team.

On the day of the draw, all the players on their team were laughing so hard, and the audience as well, all felt that this was a great draw and they would be guaranteed a place in the finals.

However...the strongest team in LPL, the galaxy battleship that dominated LPL for a season, lost to the weakest team in the semi-finals.

Being beaten up!
There are a lot of conspiracy theories on the Internet, talking about the handicap, money being collected and so on.

It’s actually a dish!

This incident became the last straw that broke the camel's back for LPL viewers.

It's not that they are impatient.

But the threshold was set too high.

Who made Li Yang lead the LPL team to win the championship in 14?

Winning the championship means being the strongest, the strongest team, and the strongest region.

After Li Yang left, what happened to the entire LPL? Four years! Four whole years!

The best result is only the top four.

When have we, the audience of Greater China, ever suffered such injustice?
Damn, with so many experts, can’t we form a strong team that can win the championship?
Look at PCL, what are their players like?
There are training matches every day, and the rank time is also included in the evaluation.

What about the players in LPL? They don't do their job every day, just want to make fun of their fans. They play rank like their father has died. They can't play many games all day long, or they just do it perfunctorily.

Training match? What is that? Just do it for fun. It's not as fun as transferring a girlfriend.

What about girlfriends entering the base, girlfriends going to the live broadcast room every day? In the eyes of LPL players, these are not a big deal.

Any PCL player who brings his girlfriend to the base, or even brings his girlfriend to a training match or live broadcast, will not be able to play for two months.

PCL players often complain that there are too many training matches and that playing on weekdays is too tiring.

But such complaints have the greatest emotional value for the audience.

Damn it, I support you guys so much, if you don’t train well, who will watch you?

After the LPL World Finals ended, the internet was flooded with curses.

Overnight, almost all the viewing traffic came to the PUBG Global Finals.

Before, many viewers refused to watch it because they liked the game LOL.

But after repeated disappointments, he changed his ways!
"I've been a fan of Team Koala for ten years!"

……

When the first day of the global finals began, Bai Qing knew that this event was completely established.

This will be the hottest e-sports event in the world, and various fees will rise sharply next year.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds currently has only 120 million users worldwide, and 50 million people watched the finals on the first day.

How many people around the world watch a live NBA game?

In the past, the events were free, and in order to attract traffic, major platforms would have 7 to 8 million viewers for each game, and sometimes as many as 10 to 20 million.

But since the introduction of paid viewing, the number of viewers has plummeted. Many shows have only tens of thousands of viewers, some have hundreds of thousands, and the popular shows have around a million viewers.

China is basically the place with the largest number of viewers.

The hottest game in the NBA in recent years was Kobe's retirement two years ago, which was watched by 300 million people around the world.

Normally, the global revenue of a game is only between 30 and 40 million, and even 50 million is pitiful. And how much is the NBA's broadcasting rights worth for one year?
Bai Qing has already started calculating how to sell the broadcasting rights for next year.

The price of the broadcasting rights this year was not high, only selling for 1.2 billion yuan, including the Spring Season, Intercontinental Season, Summer Season, and the Global Finals.

That’s just the number of players from all regions combined.

PCL contributed 600 million yuan.

……

The finals lasted five days, with six games each day.

Compared to the previous format of five games per day, it has been modified in the global finals.

The audience said that they were not satisfied with the five games.

There is no rest during these five days.

Bai Qing witnessed every game, especially the Koala team.

The Koala team did not crush the competition like they did last year. Until the end of the fourth day of the finals, they did not even make it to first place, and were still more than ten points away from first place.

Bai Qing had a feeling that Li Yang did it on purpose.

When the fifth day of competition began, she discovered that the Koala team had changed its tactics.

The Koala team's tactic has always been to have three attackers in the front to create opportunities for Li Yang, and Li Yang used precise shooting skills to harvest kills on the field.

The advantage of doing this is that even if you are unlucky, you can still get two or three points. If you are lucky, you can get more than ten or twenty points.

The shortcomings are also obvious. Unless it is a lucky circle, the Koala team cannot win the game and cannot get the first place in a single game.

After all, with this in mind, when it comes to the final round, the Koala team will always be short of one or two people and will not be able to defeat the opponent's full team.

Koala team still had the highest elimination score in the game, but its ranking was only seventh.

Many teams have adapted to this tactic. They know that there must be a sharpshooter behind the Koala Team, so they basically try to hide, and the effect is getting weaker and weaker.

On this day, the Koala team's tactics changed to Li Yang in the front, with the other three teammates playing freely.

When the director's camera turned over, the knockdown announcement suddenly appeared, followed by the elimination announcement.

Because of Li Yang's special situation, the director immediately cut the camera to that person after the elimination announcement appeared.

Then, Li Yang's behavior was discovered.

He rode a motorcycle around, and when he saw someone, he would approach them little by little.

People would never have thought that a person would suddenly appear out of nowhere, especially in the first few stages.

After all, there are four people in a team, and the transfer vehicle is very conspicuous. Generally, places without cars are assumed to be empty.

When the other three teammates of the Koala team started fighting head-on, the opponents only thought that Li Yang was behind them, but... Li Yang was indeed behind them, but behind them.

……

Li Yang had a great time on the court.

This is the famous old six style of play. There was a guy in South Korea who won the world championship by using this trick.

But it was next year in the previous life.

He made too little noise by himself, so he played as a lone wolf and all his teammates died.

If you can support your teammates, do so. If you can’t, run away.

As a result, the ranking points increased significantly, and even the elimination points were much higher than in the previous few days.

Until the last round, the Koala team had successfully reached the first position, only two points ahead of the second place.

In the last round, the second-ranked team directly looked for the Koala team to roll.

The two teams jumped together because the third place was more than ten points away from the top two. Whoever won the roll would win the championship.

The prize money is so generous that no one would not want to win the championship.

In other words, the Koala team had bad luck, otherwise, with their elimination points, they would have secured the championship long ago.

This was the closest the North American team ever came to a championship.

Of course, it is also the farthest one.

Because they haven't fought!
Li Yang jumped far away, helped his teammates set up their guns and shot down two of them.

No one from other teams could reach a gun-setting position as far away as Li Yang, and only Li Yang could set up a gun from a distance of four hundred meters and still have enough lethality.

However, the Koala team also lost two teammates, but they have basically secured the championship.

Many viewers have already started celebrating.

But after more than ten minutes, someone realized something was wrong.

Another team in the PCL region seems to be quite strong.

They were originally in fourth place, with a score similar to third place, and a gap of more than ten points from first place.

But after the start, they killed people explosively, pushing all the way from outside the circle to inside the circle, and now they have twelve kills.

At this time, Li Yang was the only one left in the Koala team. He was hiding in the small toilet, not daring to show his head.

Li Yang looked at the elimination information that kept appearing and felt a little confused.

"Could that team really win the championship? Is this force majeure?"

"Then I won't go out... Never mind, I still have to fight seriously."

Li Yang just had a chance to score, but he held back and missed two points.

The main reason is that if another PCL team can win the championship, it will be a good thing for the entire tournament.

In any competition, several benchmarks must be set.

It won’t work just by relying on his fans alone.

And now... 90% of the traffic in the entire PCL is concentrated on the Koala Team. Once he leaves the field, it would be good if the Koala Team can catch 30%.

Traffic concentration is not conducive to risk prevention, and emotional value cannot be distributed.

Koala Team’s victory will certainly maximize the emotional value of the audience.

But if another PCL team wins, the emotional value of the audience will not be much less.

However, Li Yang’s own personality is also very important, so after hesitating for a while, he started fighting as before.

Every time he scored a point, the barrage of comments would surge and the scene would cheer like crazy.

Until the last two laps, several full teams had nowhere to go and started crashing into the toilet where Li Yang was.

Li Yang pulled two grenades before his death and exchanged for another point.

"I'll try my best!"

At this time, the Koala team was still in first place, and Li Yang, the lone wolf, scored another six points.

Ranked second is another PCL team, only ten points behind Koala Team.

And there were still thirteen points on the field.

five minutes later……

Li Yang looked at the score panel and laughed.

Everything is fine. Koala team is second. The first-placed OMG team has the same score as Koala team, but its ranking is two points higher than Koala team.

In the last game, OMG team eliminated 19 people and got 29 points.

This was the highest score in a single game in the entire finals.

Li Yang posted a Weibo after the game.

"Come again next year! Congratulations OMG!"

……

At night, Li Yang browsed the comment section online.

The number of spectators today set a record for e-sports competitions, and it can even be said that it is far ahead, with a huge lead.

During the entire final stage, the total number of viewers exceeded 600 million, and the related video playback volume reached 16 billion times. On the last day of the final, the peak number of online viewers reached 98 million, and the number of viewers in a single day exceeded 200 million.

Li Yang felt that this event could be packaged and marketed.

Jiang Banxia called.

"Hubby, congratulations."

"What are you congratulating me for? I'm only second."

"Hhh, congratulations to my husband for being able to unload this traffic burden. Even if you don't play in the future, the traffic of the event will not drop much."

"Hahaha, it's OK. The gains are definitely greater than the losses. But I will continue to play next year and at least win a championship to give my fans an explanation."

"Okay, come on! By the way, I'm in the Magic City now."

"Ok?"

"See you at the airport tomorrow."

Jiang Banxia hung up the phone.

Li Yang: "..."

He glanced at the message Bai Qing had sent earlier...
