Chapter 562: Heavy bribery
"What? Someone went to protest outside the exhibition hall?"
At the Penguin Group headquarters far away in Nanshan, Mr. Xiao Ma couldn't sit still after hearing the news.
The assistant nodded and asked, "Yes, and Su Ze has already sent those people away."
"So far, the response from public opinion in society has been very good."
"Then we..."
The assistant hesitated to speak.
In fact, they also want to find people to go to the exhibition hall to protest.
Although Penguin also has shares in YY E-sports, its proportion is pitifully small.
Pony is always eager to go bankrupt so that they can take advantage of the situation and establish their own Penguin Esports company.
So according to the original plan, he wanted to find a group of people to cause trouble outside the exhibition hall.
After all, the current mainstream group hates video games, and it is reasonable for some people to protest.
Unexpectedly, before they could take action, someone had already taken the lead.
"Sent away?"
Mr. Pony frowned: "How is that possible?"
"Those people are not good people. Could they be shills hired by Su Ze?"
In his impression, the vast majority of those who oppose video games are parents.
These people are basically incompetent, and it is impossible to convince them by just talking about principles.
The assistant shook his head and said, "Probably not."
"I asked someone about it and found out that the group of people protesting are members of a well-known anti-video game association in Beijing, and the leader of them is the president of their association."
"If even they are shills, then there probably won't be many people in the country who are against video games."
Pony always fell silent.
He knew very well that such a thing was impossible to say.
As long as the money is enough, even he can betray the Penguin Group.
What's more, it is a private non-profit organization.
"Mr. Ma, are our people still going?"
the assistant asked cautiously.
In order to disgust Su Ze, President Xiao Ma specially asked a group of people to go to the competition site to protest.
The plan was to go as usual, but unexpectedly it was suddenly interrupted.
"Go to hell."
Mr. Pony glared at him: "Even the people from the Anti-Video Game Association were instigated by Su Ze to rebel. What do you think our people can do?"
"If it turns out that we sent someone there, it will be trouble again."
"What a Su Ze, he actually learned to prepare for a rainy day."
……
Except for Penguin, almost all other major domestic game manufacturers have prepared similar means.
After all, video games have been hard to come by in China these past few years. Su Ze made such a big splash, and everyone was jealous.
Even Alibaba, which doesn't have much gaming business, hired a public relations company to deal with Su Ze.
But as the aunts came to make a fuss, every family chose to give up on dealing with Su Ze.
No one wants to kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.
Instead of making yourself embarrassed in the end, it is better to watch the fire from the other side.
The dota2 game went on smoothly, and although there were some minor disturbances afterwards, they were all innocuous.
Seeing that the game was about to end successfully, some people were unhappy.
Ever since he was humiliated by Su Ze on the opening day of the competition, He Jun had been thinking of ways to take revenge.
"Hey, Xiaohu, have you been called over?"
He Jun was sitting in a bar, took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"It's here!"
As soon as he hung up the phone, He Jun saw Grandma Hui walking in from the front door of the bar.
Behind him was a thin young man.
This young man looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old and had the most fashionable hair style at the time.
The long bangs cover one eye, and the whole person has the temperament of a bad boy.
But He Jun could tell at a glance that the young man was very scared.
"Are you Xu Yang?" He Jun asked.
The young man nodded, his eyes pitiful.
He Jun motioned to the bartender and gave him a cocktail.
"Are you an adult?"
"No."
Xu Yang picked up the cocktail and said truthfully: "I will be an adult after my birthday next year."
He Jun smiled and said, "Drink."
Xu Yang raised his head and drank the cocktail in one gulp.
"Do you know why I called you here?" He Jun asked.
Xu Yang nodded, then shook his head.
"Don't be afraid."
He Jun put his hand on his shoulder: "If you want to make money, don't be so timid."
As he spoke, he nuzzled at Grandma Hui next to him: "Xiaohu, bring the box over."
After hearing this, Xiaohu walked directly into the bar counter of the bar and took out a black leather suitcase.
He Jun opened the suitcase, and there was a box full of hundred-dollar bills inside.
Xu Yang swallowed.
"That much money?"
"Is it a lot?" He Jun said calmly: "There are only 50 in it."
Xu Yang nodded vigorously: "More, our monthly salary is only just over five thousand."
The conditions for e-sports players at that time were very poor.
Although after Su Ze entered the e-sports industry, the overall treatment went up a notch.
But it's still not too high.
Of course, in 2500 when the national average monthly salary was only 09 yuan, Xu Yang was actually considered a high-income group.
But compared to the stacks of hundred-dollar bills in the box, it was still far behind.
"As long as you do what I say, I will ensure that you will have enough food and clothing in your life." He Jun smiled slightly and stuffed the box directly into his arms.
Xu Yang hugged the box and gradually calmed down.
He asked: "What do you want me to do?"
"Your team will play in the finals tomorrow, right?" He Jun asked.
Xu Yang nodded honestly and said, "Yes."
"Our boss also took out 15 yuan and said that as long as we can win the championship, he will share the money with us."
He Jun sarcastically said: "It's only 15, but I still want to win the championship."
"My request is simple."
"You have to lose in tomorrow's game."
Hearing these words, Xu Yang's expression suddenly changed.
Without waiting for He Jun to say anything, Xiaohu next to him snatched the box away.
"Don't say that we didn't give you the opportunity to make money, but you don't know how to cherish it!"
Xu Yang said with a sad face: "But if my teammates find out, how can I explain to them?"
He Jun motioned Xiaohu to step aside: "Explain what? If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, who will know?"
"It's normal to have ups and downs during a game. Wouldn't it be nice if you acted more reasonably?"
"Who doesn't make mistakes when playing games? Besides, this is 50 yuan, don't you think about it carefully?"
Xiaohu fanned the flames and said: "Even if you win the championship, including the reward money, you will still have far less than 50."
According to the rules of the event, the champion team can receive 44% of the total prize money, which is US$44.
After deducting taxes and giving half of the bonus to the club, the rest will average about 20 yuan per person.
Even if the boss is kind-hearted and lets them take more, they will still get 30 yuan.
Not to mention that if you don't play well and lose the game, the runner-up will get even less bonus.
In comparison, the 50 cash in front of me is really too tempting.
