Chapter 1327 Am I Even Worthy of Climbing Such a High Climbing Wall?
Afternoon, Longyu Group.
Christian, Kim Yong, and the IOI operations and cooperation department held an emergency meeting.
Everyone took their seats, and the atmosphere in the conference room was quite heavy.
Kim Yong inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu.
This scene... seemed to happen frequently before.
It's just that Eric was sitting in the main seat at that time, and Zhao Xuming was sitting next to him, while Kim Yong only attended and didn't express his opinions.
Now that Eric and Zhao Xuming, this good duo, are gone, replaced by Christian and him, the seating arrangement is exactly the same.
But there is one thing that is different from before.
Before, he was often resting at home and was urgently called to the company for a meeting, because Tengda always seemed to like to create such big events during holidays.
But this time, everyone was already working overtime on Saturday to monitor the IOI Global Finals, so this meeting was quite convenient.
I don't know if this should be considered lucky or unfortunate…
At this moment, it was just like that moment, and even Christian's frowned brow and worried face seemed to be carved out of the same mold as Eric.
After a long time, Christian sighed: "This move is really amazing!"
He looked at Kim Yong: "How is our follow-up marketing plan arranged?"
Kim Yong answered truthfully: "The current arrangement has not changed. It still revolves around the popularity of the FV team, hyping up their relationship with other teams, and then driving the discussion of the entire event online."
"What to do, should we change it?"
Christian was a little annoyed: "The key is how to change it!"
Bringing popularity to the FV team was also a helpless method for them.
The FV team is the defending champion of the previous session, good at creating hype, and has a very high level of attention at home and abroad.
If they skipped the FV team to market other teams, it would be too obvious, as if they were deliberately targeting, and the effect might not be good.
Therefore, Finger Company decided to adopt the current marketing method after research: marketing around the FV team, driving the popularity of other teams, and then weakening the strength of the FV team through version changes. In this way, the new champion can completely inherit the popularity from the FV team.
In this way, after some marketing, as long as the FV team doesn't win the championship, it will become the best supporting role, which will only make the protagonist more legendary.
For example, if the IOI Global Finals is a mountain range, then the FV team is already the highest mountain in the mountains.
Now, if you want to raise this mountain range as a whole, then it is very stupid to build another mountain besides FV. Instead, it is better to try to raise the FV team as much as possible, so that you can raise the mountains together, and other mountains can also share the popularity.
But what people didn't expect was that an unexpected situation occurred!
The new feature launched by GOG has fundamentally greatly increased the discussion and popularity of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament.
And the popularity on the Internet is limited. If you take more, I will take less.
This is like a great flood coming, the mountains are being raised very slowly, but the water level is rising very quickly.
Slowly, these shorter mountains are submerged by the water, leaving only the highest mountain floating on the surface.
Doesn't this mean that only the popularity of the FV team is left?!
Now Christian is holding this meeting, which is a procedural issue that must be held.
You can't just sit idly by when the problem is right in front of you, right?
But if you want to find a way to solve the problem, how can you solve it?
Remove the FV team's popularity? Not let the FV team benefit from it?
Then the popularity of the entire IOI World Championship will be affected, and all the marketing expenses invested before will be in vain.
Develop a similar viewing function here too?
But the key is that the problem with this function is not the technology, but whether there is a cooperative platform.
Based on Christian's understanding of Finger Company, if they want to come up with a plan during the IOI World Championship, find a platform to discuss cooperation, and develop this function…
It is almost impossible.
Let alone during the World Championship, it would be a blessing to complete this function within half a year.
Let alone a similar function, he can't even think of a similar way to comprehensively increase the popularity of the IOI competition.
Continue to maintain the current state?
Then even if they get some popularity, the popularity will be taken by the FV team.
Unless the other teams besides the FV team win the championship in the end, that would be a more acceptable result for Finger Company.
Everyone looked at each other and entered a familiar rhythm again.
Meaning, don't look at us, what can we do?
Christian also wanted to say, then I can't do anything either!
Everyone was speechless, and Kim Yong suggested: "Forget it, let's call and report it."
"We can only hope that the other teams can give a little effort and defeat the FV team, then everything will be fine."
Christian nodded helplessly: "Okay, that's the only way."
…
…
November 26, Monday.
Suffering Travel Training Base.
Qiao Liang looked at the rather imposing venue in front of him and suddenly wanted to back out.
Something feels wrong!
It was one thing to be mentally prepared before, but seeing the several-story-high indoor climbing wall in this venue was another matter!
Qiao Liang's brain was now filled with various question marks.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why did I come to this place?
Such a high climbing wall, am I actually going to climb it?
Am I worthy?
I'm not worthy!
And this is just indoor training? The official suffering trip is even more difficult than this?
Now Qiao Liang especially understands why there are so many deserters. They had so many opportunities before going to the battlefield but they didn't escape. They only escaped on the battlefield and were shot on the spot.
Because some things, no matter how mentally prepared you are, you are still not prepared when you arrive at the scene!
The idea of deserting before the battle involuntarily appeared in Qiao Liang's mind, and at the same time, his legs began to retreat uncontrollably.
"Old Qiao! You're here too, so early."
"I can tell you can't wait."
Qiao Liang turned around and saw Ruan Guangjian getting out of the car with a smile on his face.
Like Qiao Liang, he didn't bring much luggage, just a small bag.
According to the regulations of Suffering Travel, people participating in Suffering Travel only need to be there, and they don't need to bring anything. From the clothes they wear, the food they eat, to the equipment needed for training, everything is provided by Suffering Travel.
The corners of Qiao Liang's mouth twitched slightly.
What the hell is he talking about, "can't wait!"
The reason why I came a little earlier than the agreed time was mainly to observe the situation in advance. If the situation was not right, I had to slip away in time!
Although this is a bit unethical, my life is still important after all.
At worst, I'll apologize to President Pei and the fans later, even if I lose some money!
I believe everyone will understand.
"Ahem, you go in first, I don't think I'm mentally prepared yet." Qiao Liang couldn't help but step back again.
Ruan Guangjian was a little surprised: "Not mentally prepared? It's okay, I'm not mentally prepared either."
"Actually, like you, I don't want to come at all. I'm more afraid of ghosts, and I've been pampered since I was a child and haven't suffered much, but I think since I've been selected, it's a pity not to come."
"Come on, let's support each other, encourage each other, and persevere together!"
As he spoke, Ruan Guangjian was about to drag Qiao Liang inside.
Qiao Liang was almost mad.
You still have the nerve to mention that you're afraid of ghosts!
Are you really afraid of ghosts?
You're obviously excited!
This time it's probably the same thing, saying that he hasn't suffered, but actually doing rock climbing and swimming, he'll probably be faster than anyone else.
Liar! I will never believe you again!
Qiao Liang was unmoved, his desire to survive made him resist Ruan Guangjian's pulling, and he still worked hard to get out.
At this moment, another car stopped at the door, and Yao Bo got out of the car.
"Oh, are you here to participate in the Suffering Travel too? I'm Yao Bo, and these two are…"
Ruan Guangjian and Qiao Liang stopped pulling and briefly introduced themselves.
The three hit it off right away.
Yao Bo was very happy: "I've heard of the two of you for a long time, nice to meet you! I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
"Hey, I've been living a life of luxury since I was a child and haven't suffered much. I heard that you two have been tempered by Tengda's Thriller Paradise, so I hope you can help me get through the difficulties in this regard."
"Then let's go in?"
Ruan Guangjian nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
The two dragged Qiao Liang in without saying a word.
Qiao Liang was quite resistant at first, but when he saw that Yao Bo had also come, his heart wavered again, and he was pushed in by the two of them, half-heartedly.
Because he had roughly learned about the people on the list before, and knew that Yao Bo was the young master of Jinding Group, he said that he was pampered and had not suffered much, which was much more credible than Ruan Guangjian. Qiao Liang still believed it.
Especially Yao Bo's sentence "I heard that you have been tempered by Thriller Paradise" made Qiao Liang a little unable to move.
The other party had just praised him, and he ran away, how could that be right?
And looking at the composition of this team, there are pampered young masters and girls. Qiao Liang thought about it, if he became the only one who ran away in this team, how embarrassing would that be!
So shame briefly overcame reason again and he was dragged into the hall.
