Chapter 701 E-sports Division (Supplement)

Zhang Yuan's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Mr. Pei, you said, I would like to hear about it!" ”

Pei Qian took a sip of tea and sorted out his thoughts a little.

"First of all, we want to provide a uniform contract for all clubs and players, and at the same time strictly prohibit any yin and yang contracts."

"The standard contract allows short-term contracts and long-term contracts, but only the basic content of the contract time, liquidated damages, transfer fees and salaries can be agreed, and some messy clauses cannot be attached to restrict the players."

"In particular, there must be no very vague clauses, such as 'players must unconditionally cooperate with the club in commercial operations', etc., which must be expressly prohibited."

"It's okay for the club to run commercially, but under our supervision, we can't be unrestrained, and we can't squeeze players."

"Secondly, during the transfer period of each year, the club and the libero players are free to contact and make commitments, but they cannot sign privately. Before signing the contract, it is up to us to arrange for each club to conduct a unified bidding for the players who are free agents in the form of secret auctions. ”

"In the case of secret shooting, each club first sends out an intention to clearly state the preferred contract time, liquidated damages, salary, and additional special treatment, such as promising the playing time of the players."

"Once the intention is confirmed during the unannounced shooting, the players are asked to choose which team they want to go to, and the two parties agree on the same intention to sign a formal contract. As for the promise made at the time of the covert shooting, the club must abide by it without remorse, and we will be responsible for supervising it. ”

"In the end, in the event of a dispute, both parties must accept our mediation, with us acting as an intermediary and asking the players and the club to take a step back and choose a solution that is acceptable to all three parties."

"On the basis of these principles, we at DGE only accept players who are free agents, and if they leave the contract period, they will pay a minimum transfer fee or liquidated damages."

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Pei, is this a bit idealistic?" It's not very maneuverable, is it? ”

"What if the club doesn't accept our standard contract? Or sign a yin-yang contract in private? ”

"What if the club confirms its intention and then reverses it?"

"The contract signed between the club and the player has legal benefits, and in the event of a dispute, the club can completely bypass us to fight a lawsuit with the player, and we can't control this."

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "This is very easy to do." ”

"We made an agreement with these clubs at the outset that if they violated the rules, they would be fined or banned.

"If these clubs don't accept our supervision, they won't be eligible for GOG League. If you want to quit, we will act as an intermediary to buy their GOG division and sell it to other clubs who are interested in entering the GOG league. ”

In other words, if you don't accept our unified management, then I won't take you to play.

If you want to play other esports yourself, you can go for it, and I will also pay for your GOG division to buy and sell it to others, so that you will not suffer substantial losses, but as long as you don't agree with the regulation, don't want to enter this circle.

As for why Pei Qian made such rules, it was mainly due to three considerations.

First of all, there is only a unified standard contract, no yin and yang contracts and various additional clauses, so let the club play some sassy operations.

Many clubs offer sky-high contracts, but they are not really sky-high, and there are many routines in it.

For example, one of the most common phenomena is that the club and the live broadcast platform each contribute a part of the money, but in fact, there are requirements for the live broadcast of the players, which overdraws the future commercial value of the players.

Players earn on the surface, but they don't necessarily earn in reality.

But in this way, the transfer fee has really gone up, and at that time, the DGE club will get more money for each player sold than before, which is too uncomfortable.

Therefore, everyone has less routine, more sincerity, and the transfer fee is raised so high just as good as it sounds, but it actually doesn't make sense.

Coupled with the fact that the DGE club only agrees on a minimum transfer fee, this allows the DGE club to make as little money as possible from the transfer fee.

Secondly, the establishment of such a regulatory body requires the recruitment of a large number of personnel, and the daily operating expenses are an expense; At the same time, these various regulatory regulations will definitely have a dissuasive effect on some clubs.

If the club doesn't accept it and wants to quit, it's easy to do, Pei Qian's side paid to buy their GOG division, and didn't let them suffer, and I will make up for your investment.

But it's not so easy to come in when you're gone.

Buying these clubs, this can cost a sum of money, and Pei Qian can't ask for it.

Finally, Pei Qian does have some ideas to regulate the industry and protect the rights and interests of players.

Without a higher level of regulation, it will never be possible to establish an equal relationship between players and clubs, because the right to speak is not at all on the same order of magnitude.

Just like ordinary wage earners in the face of a company, many times they can only vote with their feet and choose the least bad company, but in fact they do not have the ability to bargain with the company.

Only a very small number of particularly good and completely irreplaceable people have bargaining power.

When the strength of the two sides is not equal, if the official does not act and maintain absolute neutrality, it is actually tantamount to pulling the shelf.

It's like a boxing champion fighting with an ordinary person, on the premise that neither party is clearly at fault, the third party is absolutely neutral and doesn't care, that is, in fact, let the ordinary person die.

Therefore, Pei Qian's regulatory agency will objectively protect the rights of players, but it does not exploit the club, but only asks the club not to be insatiable and not to overly exploit players.

The club should take a lot of transfer fees and liquidated damages, and the commercial contracts, popularity and influence that the club should have are not bad at all, but they can't take advantage of loopholes and do whatever they want.

Pei Qian certainly agrees with the spirit of the contract, but there are two prerequisites: first, the contract itself must be fair, not an overlord clause, a slave contract, and not based on the exploitation of one party by the other; Second, the spirit of the contract does not mean that the contract must not be violated, but that it is willing to bear the corresponding consequences after violating it.

In short, wouldn't it be nice to allow DGE clubs to earn less transfer fees and dissuade some of the club's capital, and to buy their entire GOG division after these clubs quit.

Moreover, the daily operation of this new regulator also costs money, and it is not bad to recruit more people to support them, and it is a little more to pay a little more salary.

Zhang Yuan had already taken over two pieces of paper and quickly recorded what Mr. Pei had said before.

I just read these terms carefully, but I feel a little uncertain in my heart.

Will it work?

None of the big leagues in the world seem to do that.

The reason is also very simple, I dare not or am unwilling to tear my face with the big clubs.

Big clubs bring fans, popularity and money to the league, and to be fair, the popularity of an event must be the result of the joint efforts of the organizers, sponsors, clubs, professional players, and spectators.

So in many cases, even if the organizers have the ability, they are not willing to offend these big clubs, even if a club actually squeezes the players, as long as they don't cause too much anger and resentment, most of them are playing 50 boards and calming things down.

After all, in most cases, a player is replaceable and sacrificeable, while the loss caused by the departure of a big club is difficult to remedy.

But the regulation given by Mr. Pei is really not very friendly to the club, and there must be clubs who are not happy.

And the unhappy result can only be to part ways and break up, because Mr. Pei has never been a person who will compromise.

From Mr. Pei's attitude, you can vaguely guess that he really doesn't seem to care about the resources that these clubs have!

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Pei, emotionally speaking, I support the supervision of the league, after all, there are no rules, and the league is formal, so as to form healthy competition." ”

"However, if we take such strict control measures, we will definitely dissuade many clubs, if the losses are compared to the gains...... Is it cost-effective? ”

"If the club is persuaded to quit, the entire league's funds, popularity, attention, etc. may be affected, and if those old clubs are more than half, then what if we suffer losses that are far greater than the gains?"

Pei Qian smiled: "Of course it's cost-effective." ”

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay." ”

Since Mr. Pei is so sure, he must have seen more long-term things, so Zhang Yuan didn't ask any more.

"So Mr. Pei, what is this new regulatory department called?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Let's call it the E-sports Division, and I can also take this opportunity to get GOG's professional league GPL up." ”

"At the moment, several clubs can get priority access, but only if they accept our conditions and accept supervision."

"As for the specific schedule, let's wait for the establishment of the new department to consider."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei." ”

After sending Mr. Pei away, Zhang Yuan returned to the conference room again and read the contents he had written down before from beginning to end, wanting to guess the deep meaning of Mr. Pei's move.

Now for Zhang Yuan, his biggest confusion is Mr. Pei's sentence "Of course it is cost-effective".

For the current esports industry, the first priority must be to make the plate bigger.

Although the GOG World Invitational has achieved good popularity, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is still a lot of room for improvement in this event.

There's still a lot to be done in the future.

Mr. Pei also said that if he wants to engage in GOG's professional league GPL, it is obviously necessary to make the plate of e-sports bigger.

The problem, however, is that restricting clubs with such stringent regulatory conditions is clearly in some way counterproductive to that goal.

How did Mr. Pei choose?

Zhang Yuan began to carefully analyze every request made by Mr. Pei.
