Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 504 Boss Ma KO’ed o to 28

April 29th, Friday…

Pei Qian came to Ming Yun Villas early in the morning. No, it was not to dine at Ming Yun Private Kitchen; he did not have a reservation today.

He was here to understand the DGE club’s situation.

The rent was given at a friendly price, property fees waived. It was also a site that Zhang Yuan was very familiar with…

How could he continue letting DGE club develop so smoothly?

He had to come here personally to make arrangements!

DGE Club’s villa was a little far from Ming Yun Private Kitchen, but it was not too far away. It could be reached within a five-minute walk.

The first thing that entered the eye was a hall that looked a little empty. The layout of this place was not exactly the same as Ming Yun Private Kitchen because it had a different layout. However, it was similar in general.

Computer tables and gaming chairs had been placed in the living room. All the ROF computers were neatly arranged. Obviously, the largest space was meant to be used as a training room for the players.

The other rooms were probably meant for the dormitories of the players.

Boss Li bought three villas in one go to wait for them to appreciate. Obviously, there was no need to spend a lot of money on the villas to renovate them according to his wishes. This villa, for example, was basically in its original condition. There were only basic decorations such as walls, floors, and lamps.

That saved Zhang Yuan a lot of trouble. It could be used without much preparation, which would not delay too much time.

There are a total of twelve computers in the hall. Ten seemingly internet-addict teenagers were staring at the screen and tapping away at the keyboard and mouse.

Pei Qian was a little flustered.

They were playing a 5V5 GOG match?

Shouldn’t you shout and command your teammates? Why were they so quiet?

He glanced at the computer again and confirmed it. Yes, it was GOG. It seemed to be the same game?

Why was no one speaking then? Zhang Yuan came over to greet Boss Pei seeing that he was here.

Pei Qian looked around. “Ma Yang isn’t here?”

Pei Qian mentioned to Old Ma before that he should come over to the club to help Zhang Yuan out when he had nothing to do.

Zhang Yuan said yesterday that ‘Boss Ma was very satisfied with the performance of ROF’s computer.’ That meant that Ma Yang was here yesterday.

Zhang Yuan smiled awkwardly. “Boss Pei, Boss Ma had been here recently, but it seemed like he did not plan to come over today. “He was a little unhappy yesterday…”

Pei Qian: “Hmm?”

Old Ma was an optimist in his impression. Was there anything that could make him unhappy apart from scoring 59 points in the exam?

“Boss Ma was very excited when these players arrived yesterday. He said that he wanted to check their standards out so he played one round with them.” Zhang Yuan explained.

“These kids do not understand how the world works at all. I hinted at them so many times, but they still KO’ed Boss Ma o to 28…”,

Pei Qian was beside himself with joy.

Old Ma, eh, Old Ma, you old slacker have such a day as well, eh!

How delightful!

Who asked you to make digs at me and blame me for not being a good carry? See, you understand your own standards now, right?

Would you still dare to show off your understanding of the game in front of me in the future after encountering such a severe beating from society? Pei Qian panned his eyes around. “Which strong men did that?”

Zhang Yuan thought that Boss Pei was going to seek revenge and said hurriedly, “Boss Pei, I’ve reprimanded them severely and educated them. I guarantee such a situation will not happen again!

“Moreover… I’m partly responsible for it as well.

“I quickly gave everyone hints to go easy on Boss Ma when I saw him dying twice. Everyone worked harder to kill him instead.

“I only knew after that they thought I was giving them pressure to win…”

Pei Qian almost wanted to laugh out loud. “How can you reprimand them? Reward them immediately!

“How can you be a professional player in the future if you don’t even have the spirit of fair fighting? These players were merciless and went all out when facing Boss Ma. It proved that they are good seedlings to grow them professionally!

“Such spirits must be encouraged!”

Zhang Yuan pursed his lips, his eyes filled with emotion. “Okay Boss Pei, I understand!”

He originally thought that Boss Pei would be angry because his good brother was abused inhumanely. However, he did not take it to heart but wanted to reward them instead?

Boss Pei’s spirit of fairness was worthy to learn from!

The two of them continued chatting while the players continued playing earnestly with their headphones on. They were completely unaffected.

Pei Qian continued observing them while chatting with Zhang Yuan. He realized that these people were indeed silent. He could not help but wonder. “Are they fighting on the same side or on the different side?”

Zhang Yuan: “They’re competing against each other in two teams.”

Pei Qian was even more confused now. “Do they rely on eye contact or frequency for communication? Could you have found two teams of quintuplets that possessed telepathy?

“That does not seem like it as well.”,

“Ahem, ahem, Boss Pei, you are so humorous.” Zhang Yuan smiled awkwardly.

He turned to look at these players and invited Boss Pei out of the living room and into the courtyard to continue their conversation. “These players… how should I put it… are too introverted. They can even be regarded as autistic. They dislike speaking. I’m doing my best to train them. “I know that GOG is a team game. It will definitely not do if the teammates do not communicate. However, a leopard doesn’t change its spots, especially not overnight.”

Pei Qian was a little surprised. “All ten of them are autistic? The probability should not be so high even if they are all game addicts? Or…

“You chose them intentionally?”

Pei Qian could not help but wonder if Zhang Yuan finally understood them?

I have yet to give any special instructions, and he had already thought about picking autistic children as professional players?

“Boss Pei, I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m only left with these choices…” Zhang Yuan was obviously embarrassed.

“Hm? What do you mean?” Pei Qian asked.

Zhang Yuan sighed. “It’s because of the nature of the DGE club! Boss Pei, you have been emphasizing that we have to be honest and sincere. We will not lie or cheat. I’ve been working on this with this mentality.

“Therefore, I also told the truth when I was trying to poach people from the GOG leaderboard.

“At the beginning, I briefly described the club’s conditions, including basic salary, bonuses, and the like. They were very satisfied because our treatment is better than other clubs, and there are various attractive benefits.

“However, most rejected me once I said that our club would not participate in any official GOG tournaments.

“Those willing to play professionally want to win the championship. Our club cannot even participate in the tournament; how could they get the championship?”

“No exposure, no bonuses… only a basic salary.

“Going professional is a youth dream. Who would be willing to just take a salary for it?

“Therefore, those who joined are those who had no other choices, introverted, and bad at expressing themselves.

“Even so, they are not willing to sign a three-year agreement with us, only one year… “However, rest assured, Boss Pei. All ten of them are rather good. They are young and have a good understanding of the game. They are good seedlings. I’m thinking of ways to correct their mentalities.”

Pei Qian understood now. His mouth could not help but arch upwards.

Good! Very good!

Indeed, even these gaming addicts would shop around for deals if they were really interested in going professional.

Professional gaming was a youthful job. The most important elements for them were exposure and bonuses. What would happen to them if they grow older with just a dead salary?

Who would be willing to join the DGE club since it was not going to enter any competitions? There would be zero exposure and bonuses.

These rejects were only treating this place as a springboard. They would use this one year to improve themselves and jump to other clubs once they had the chance.

Pei Qian was satisfied with this result.

Great!

It would be impossible for the club to be profitable then! It would only be a loss generating unit! Nonetheless, he should not be overly optimistic.

Zhang Yuan was obviously serious about “correcting their mentality.’

“What do you intend to do then?” Pei Qian asked.

Zhang Yuan thought for a while. “I plan to give them two days to adapt. I’ll also find a personal trainer for them at the same time.

“The best candidate would be someone who is experienced, who had worked as a coach in other esports departments. He should be able to convince them to transform and require them to communicate with their teammates. At the same time be able to develop various tactics.

“Some team coaches or their assistants of Gods Rising are good.”

Pei Qian remained silent. It sounded like a rather reliable method. Indeed, a good coach was vital to the improvement of the team. Such a person would possibly be able to revamp their mentalities.

He should not allow Zhang Yuan to search for them then!

“I don’t think that’s appropriate.” Pei Qian coughed lightly.

“What is your opinion, Boss Pei?” Zhang Yuan was taken aback. Zhang Yuan listened carefully as he followed silently behind Pei Qian in the courtyard.

“First of all, GOG is a brand new game. The game mechanics are very different from Gods Rising or other similar games. Introducing stereotyped thinking of coaches from other projects may affect the players.

“The players are generally ordinary folks. Getting someone who doesn’t understand them to teach them might improve their teamwork on the surface, but it would in fact seriously suppress their talents!

“Secondly, like you mentioned, autism is innate and not something that can be changed overnight.

“Forcing them to communicate with each other might not only fail to achieve the intended results, but it might also make them lose their individual advantages. Learn to walk before you fly. You cannot make haste.

“Lastly, Gods Rising and other esports are not developing well; they are not very formal. “At present, domestic professional esports clubs have two sorts of people. One of them is people taking them as a job. The club is their office. “The other type is rich second-generation heirs treating clubs as playthings.

“Both kinds have messy internal structures. They will not be able to provide any useful experience and instead bring bad ethos.”

Zhang Yuan was silent for a long time then suddenly nodded: “Hm… I didn’t think as deeply as you have, Boss Pei…

“However, the problem does not seem to be solvable using the method you mentioned as well?

“We’re not gonna let the players communicate at all just because they are autistic? The club is not formal so we don’t look for coaches? That… doesn’t seem appropriate as well?”

Pei Qian was speechless. Why aren’t you using your imagination now?! Sh*t, I still have to think of an explanation.

Pei Qian coughed lightly. “My meaning is… don’t always rush for quick success; give it slow and steady wins in the race.

“You have to let these autistic children open up to each other slowly. We do not need coaches from the other clubs, but we can still find someone to play that role!”

Zhang Yuan agreed after thinking. “Alright, Boss Pei, let’s do as you say!” Pei Qian could not help but nod. Yes, that was correct! “How about this? Cancel all group training events and let them continue playing solo.

“I’ll think of something for the coach and bring that person to you within two weeks.”

Zhang Yuan nodded with no doubt at all. “Alright, Boss Pei! I have absolutely no qualms in your choice of candidates!”
