Chapter 56 The Originator of E-Sports
Wei Shuting’s words made Luo Kaiyuan almost vomit blood, but he could only endure it.
Remembering that Wei Shuting was deliberately making excuses to embarrass him, Luo Kaiyuan stopped talking about scanning QR codes on WeChat and said directly: "Well, let's find a place to sit first and I'll ask the driver to get the money. , is it okay to pay you directly in cash?”
"That's pretty much it. Let's ask Boss Luo to hurry up. We still have something to do."
Li Shuo teased, and with Luo Kaiyuan's black face, he led Wei Shuting to park Wuling Hongguang on the side of the road. When he saw Luo Kaiyuan entering a teahouse by the road, he took Wei Shuting in as well.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Shuo paused and said to Wei Shuting who was beside him: "Luo Kaiyuan came here to make an appointment with someone. Do you know his guests?"
At this time, Luo Kaiyuan was following The two fat men shook hands and exchanged greetings, and then led the two fat men into the box.
Li Shuo and Wei Shuting sat on the sofa in the lobby. The latter said: "Luo Kaiyuan is engaged in network services, and those two are corporate customers. I heard that they are engaged in P2P streaming media. Online Many people see it.”
She is like this. So, Li Shuo knew it in his heart. He knew the two fat guys. They were both the founders of the emerging era of Internet media. One was called Friend and the other was Erlong. The former single-handedly created the first e-sports P2P broadcast channel: PLU.
In his previous life, when he was in college, Li Shuo not only liked playing games, but also liked watching commentary on various games, including StarCraft, World of Warcraft, and LOL. In short, he watched everything.
PLU is where Li Shuo first read game commentary. If there are any origins or birthplaces of domestic e-sports, then PLU is one of them. It itself was transformed from the largest player community in China, "ChinaPlayerUnion" Came here.
Although PLU will gradually decline after the rise of live broadcasting, Li Shuo knows that the people who come out of it will eventually spread to all aspects of the e-sports field. Some become the first generation of top Internet celebrities, and some He has become a veteran e-sports commentator, but more people who are not in the front office have become the backbone and elite of the e-sports circle.
For example, "Friend" will be deeply bound to Penguin Games in the future, completely controlling the right to speak in this area, and then come out for the second time during the live broadcast era and create Longzhu Live.
After "Erlong" retired, he liked to play the board game "Werewolf" with his friends, and then became recognized as the "Grandfather of Werewolf", and even gave birth to the major live broadcast platforms that followed. Wolf killing variety show.
There is also the famous "Daxian Poison Milk Color, Dog King F91", which is jokingly called the "E-Sports Black Club" by netizens. One of the reasons is because they have great powers in the e-Sports circle.
The reason why he has so many magical powers is that everyone used to be in the PLU circle...
Li Shuo looked a little dazed. If he had any ambition after his rebirth, it would be to set up a company to attract all kinds of people. The super agency of Internet celebrity celebrities not only recruits beautiful anchors, but also game players and celebrities from all walks of life to play games with them every day.
Or, go one step further and form your own "Galactic Battleship" for fun!
Now, there is a rare opportunity: "Friend", for those who like e-sports, is countless times more attractive than MiHoYo!
“Li Shuo, I got the money, let’s go.”
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Shuting pulled Li Shuo to wake him up from his memories.
Li Shuo thought for a while and said, "It's only 5,000 yuan. Are you willing to let Luo Kaiyuan waste so much of your youth for nothing?"
He said this Said, Wei Shuting suddenly thought that she was still being raped by Luo Kaiyuan. When he saw the scene on the street, his fists immediately hardened:
"Then, how else can we retaliate against him?"
Li Shuo took advantage of the situation and said: "Isn't he meeting a client? , just poach his customers! ”
Wei Shuting's eyes lit up: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
Li Shuo approached her and whispered: "When they come out..." About half an hour later, Luo Kaiyuan took Friend The two people came out of the box, and all the ninjas were smiling, looking like they were having a great time talking to each other.
Wei Shuting stood up, rushed forward, and roared from a distance: "Luo Kaiyuan! You just want to send me away with 5,000 yuan?"
Even Li Shuo, who came up with the idea, was startled by Wei Shuting's voice. Good guy, beautiful women also have a shrewish side!
Luo Kaiyuan backed away repeatedly and kept saying: "Wei Shuting, I gave you the money, what else do you want..."
"I don't care, you have slept with me for so long..."
Accompanied by Wei Shuting With constant pressure, Luo Kaiyuan was forcefully forced into the box. Li Shuo stopped paying attention to what happened next. He stood up, came to the target, and said with surprise on his face: "Friend?"
The fat man was stunned After a while, Li Shuo took his arm and walked to another box: "I didn't expect to meet you offline. Wow, I'm so happy. Friend, I'm your fan. Erlong, I like you so much." Explanation, come on, come on , come in and let’s have a cup of tea...”
In this era, even Internet celebrities rarely meet fans offline, especially in the e-sports circle, such as Friend and Erlong A commentator not known for his looks.
As soon as Li Shuo lied, the two of them were invited to the private room, which was specially opened by Li Shuo. After the three of them sat down, the waiter immediately came over to bring tea and water.
Erlong quickly said: "No, no, we just had a drink."
Friend also said: "Yes, yes, let's sit for a while, there will be a live broadcast in the evening."
< br>Li Shuo said with surprise on his face: "What's the live broadcast tonight? Look at me, I didn't even pay attention to the anchor's preview."
Friend smiled and said: "Today is the World of Warcraft Golden League, and SKY will be invited to come and commentate..."
"Wow, the Human Emperor!" Li Shuo sighed and asked abruptly: "Um, can I go to the scene?"
"This..."
Two fat men faced each other. He glanced at him with a look of embarrassment.
Li Shuo took advantage of the situation and said: "Now that we have met, I want to realize an idea I have had for a long time, that is, to sponsor PLU. I know that PLU has always been maintained by Friend with difficulty. Although water friends There is sponsorship, but it has always been a drop in the bucket. I happened to make some money recently, and I want to fulfill my long-cherished wish!”
“Friend, is it okay?”
When they heard that they were going to give money, the two fat men's eyes suddenly lit up.
In the 10 years before LOL emerged, PLU had not yet received investment from Penguin. Like all nascent websites, it was so short of money that it had to rely on sponsorship from water friends every year to renew its server lease. The commentary room in the studio doesn’t even have air conditioning!
Friend was very flexible, and immediately said:
“Well, since we are enthusiastic water friends, let’s open a convenient door...”
Erlong is the opposite. Very directly, he pulled Li Shuo and stood up, saying: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? It's not easy to meet a water friend who is willing to sponsor. We must give you a warm reception. Let's go and take you around PLU... ”
