Monday, December 26th.

In the morning, Pei Qian, who slept until he woke up naturally, reluctantly got up from the bed and went to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Why don't you go to the company today......"

"Damn, you must review it from today onwards!"

Pei Qian was annoyed while brushing his teeth, and secretly made up his mind.

The first two days were weekends, and Pei Qian couldn't remember what he did, so it seemed that he just slept lazily at home, played games, and swiped the web page, and then two days passed.

Originally, Pei Qian planned to find a quiet place to review well.

After all, seeing that exam week is approaching, in order to achieve the goal of surpassing the old horse, you must take some time to review well.

But the problem is that everyone knows that time is like water in a sponge, there will always be a squeeze, but sometimes there is always no strength to squeeze it.

Pei Qian felt that his time was more like water in the desert, always losing at the speed of light without paying attention.

And there is also a huge problem, which is the problem of mentality.

From Monday to Friday, the company is at work normally, and Pei Qian often has to keep an eye on and deal with some work things, such as making decisions and the like, which involves some energy and no time to review.

On Saturday and Sunday, the company did have a holiday, and it stands to reason that Pei Qian had time to review, but he was too lazy to move at home.

Working so busy from Monday to Friday, you don't have to rest well on the weekend? Relax?

As a result, time was inexplicably gone.

Pei Qian doesn't remember how many times this is the first time he has made up his mind to review well from today, but the progress of the review is still extremely worrying, and the notes that have been copied a long time ago have not yet finished reading a few pages.

It's too hard.

After washing up, Pei Qian wiped his face fiercely, then sat on the sofa and began to read his notes and review.

Five minutes later, he picked up his phone and habitually swiped it.

"Huh? Mr. Li and Xue Zhebin invested in the cold-faced girl?? ”

Seeing this message sent by He Desheng, Pei Qian was instantly vigilant, and his brows tightened.

A big bright red word seemed to appear on his head: Danger!

Pei Qian immediately stood up and walked around the living room twice.

Mr. Li regards Pei Qian as the vane of investment, and why doesn't Pei Qian regard Mr. Li as a warning line for investment?

Pei Qian has already carefully recalled his painful experience of investing and making money, and found that in most of the profits, Mr. Li has played a vital role.

For many projects that had lost well before, as soon as Mr. Li and other investors entered the market, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant, and suddenly they began to make money!

And now Mr. Li has invested in the cold-faced girl, which is a clear signal.

Something is going to happen!

Pei Qian originally planned to invest 2 million or 2 million in Meng Chang and symbolically buy a little shares, the main purpose was to burn money silently and lose money in a muffled voice.

But now that Mr. Li has chased after him, this is a very dangerous signal, which means that the project of the cold-faced girl is mostly going to make a lot of money!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian was on pins and needles, feeling that his previous plan to lose money was probably about to be completely overturned.

If you continue to give 2 million or 2 million land according to the original plan, if the valuation of the cold-faced girl rises again, wouldn't you make another profit?

Absolutely not!

Pei Qian is now a little bit talking about the signs of Tang discoloration, and he is about to have Mr. Li's PTSD in terms of investment, so he immediately decided to overturn all the previous money-loss plans and run away!

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Qian immediately called He Desheng.

"Sold all the shares I bought for the previous 2 million, immediately! You can sell it to anyone, it doesn't matter if the price is high or low, you can sell it! ”

The person on the other side of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment.

He was a little puzzled, which one did Mr. Pei sing?

2 million is a small amount of money, and I didn't buy many shares, as for selling it in such a hurry? This is going back and forth in the short term, don't expect to make money, it's good not to lose money.

This hand operation is really incomprehensible, very magical.

But listening to Mr. Pei's tone so resolute, He Desheng suddenly felt that Mr. Pei must have some higher-level opinions.

He Desheng didn't dare to ask more, and agreed to it.

After hanging up the phone, He Desheng began to carefully analyze Mr. Pei's intentions.

"Not long after I sent the news of Mr. Li's cold-faced girl to Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei asked me to sell the shares again, even as long as it was fast, even at a low price."

"Do you mean...... This is what Mr. Pei and Mr. Li discussed? Or is it a tacit understanding between top investors? Could it be that the 2 million small money that Mr. Pei spent before and bought the little shares, what is the special significance? ”

The more He Desheng thought about it, the more he felt that this matter seemed not simple.

Mr. Li and Mr. Pei seem to be cooperating, just like what was discussed in advance.

But He Desheng only vaguely felt that there might be a game here, and he couldn't tell what this game was.

After thinking about it again and again, He Desheng still acted honestly according to Mr. Pei's request and dialed Meng Chang's phone.

……

"Sell again?"

"No, do you have to sell such a small amount of shares?"

On the other end of the phone, Meng Chang, who received the call, was also completely confused.

He was as shocked as He Desheng, and he couldn't understand what Mr. Pei was doing in this wave of operations.

It was outrageous that Mr. Pei only invested 2 million before, after all, Mr. Pei directly threw out millions of dollars when the FV club went to the country. In such a comparison, the 2 million that Mr. Pei gave to the cold-faced girl is no different from sprinkling millet to feed the pigeons.

It is clear at a glance.

As a result, with such a few shares, Mr. Pei still has to sell them?

Mr. Pei tossed for a long time, and he didn't make any money!

Isn't this a human mentality?

If this thing can be done secretly, then forget it, Mr. Pei's previous shares have all been sold out, and this time he only sold a small number of shares bought for 2 million, and he can eat it casually.

But the key is not to do it secretly.

As long as the transfer of shares of the company is involved, it must notify the other shareholders in accordance with the articles of association of the company, and the change must be registered.

Mr. Li has now voted for the cold-faced girl, and he is also a shareholder of the cold-faced girl.

Mr. Pei's sale, Mr. Li will definitely know, and all the other shareholders of the company will also know, and then all the investors who are waiting and watching will also get the news.

Isn't that going to be bad?

It hasn't been two days since Mr. Li just cast the cold noodle girl, and Meng Chang hasn't even covered the money in his hand yet, so he suddenly came to this one, who can withstand this!

After Meng Chang got the money, he originally planned to throw off his arms and do a big job.

As long as investors are confident in the cold-faced girl again, and the game that pushes up the valuation can continue to be played, then the entire script can continue to develop in the direction that Meng Chang envisioned.

Although there are some small twists and turns, the impact will not be great.

But Mr. Pei's sudden operation was like pouring a basin of cold water on Meng Chang's head, directly extinguishing the small fire that had just ignited in his heart!

There are not many shares, but it is good to say!

Mr. Pei threw away all the shares of the cold-faced girl twice in less than half a month......

If this spreads, what will others think of the company of the cold-faced girl?

In the matter of Mr. Pei selling all the shares before, Meng Chang just worked hard to suppress it, and as a result, he scored two goals, which is really difficult to save!

Meng Chang quickly realized the seriousness of this matter, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. He, why bother? ”

"Tengda isn't so much money, is it?"

"Otherwise, you can talk to Mr. Pei, be accommodating, give me another month, no, half a month, even if it is a week, and then sell it in a week, will it be done?"

What Meng Chang thought about was that he would hide this matter first, delay it for a while, and then use this time to hurry up and find the pick-up man, and strive to cook the raw rice into rice, so as to minimize the negative impact of Mr. Pei's second sale of shares.

He Desheng on the other end of the phone sighed: "I'm sorry, you know Mr. Pei's character, this matter is not negotiable." ”

Meng Chang's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

The future of the cold-faced girl had been bright and bright ten minutes ago, but now it suddenly became dim......

……

……

Wednesday, December 28th.

10 p.m. local time in Los Angeles.

On the second floor of the Internet café, Min Jingchao sorted out and saved the data tables, copied them all to his laptop, and shredded the source files on the Internet café computer.

Although this seems to be a bit of a fuss, it is better to be careful in everything, and the content of the team's training must not be leaked, which is equivalent to a military secret in wartime.

After everything was completed, Min Jingchao stretched his waist, and his work was completed in stages.

"Brother Bao, you've worked hard for the past two days." Min Jingchao said to Bao Xu, who was sitting next to him.

Bao Xu shook his head: "No, no, no, it's not hard at all." If every trip in the future is the same as this one, I think I can accept it......"

Originally, Bao Xu heard that he was coming to Los Angeles, and he felt that it was bad news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but after he came, he found that it was much more comfortable than the previous trips abroad!

It's still two o'clock every day, staying in a five-star hotel at night, and going to a nearby Internet café during the day, in addition to doing data analysis and studying tactics, you can also play games.

Although it is going abroad, there is no need to go to various attractions to check in, which is very comfortable!

If every time you go abroad, you can go to a new city like this time, in addition to staying in a hotel or going to an Internet café, it is not unacceptable.

So this time, Bao Xu also made a lot of efforts in the process of data analysis and helped Min Jingchao a lot.

The players are still playing training matches and continue to refine their tactical routines.

Tomorrow is Thursday, the day of the official start of the group stage of the IOI World Finals. The schedule for this year's IOI World Finals is different from GOG's Global Invitational.

In order to ensure that a team from a weaker region can reach the quarterfinals, Chrétien decided to adopt the "No. 1 seed" rule.

This time, there are a total of 16 teams, of which 4 are guaranteed to be the top 8, and the other 12 teams are divided into four groups, and 3 teams from each group play double round-robin BO1, and only the top team can qualify in the end.

After that, the quarterfinals will be redrawn, and there is no avoidance mechanism in the same region, and whichever opponent is drawn.

FV Club is the No. 1 seed in the country, and they play from the quarterfinals, and the group stage has nothing to do with them, and the opponent in the quarterfinals is undecided.

But that doesn't mean you can take it lightly.

The players still have to maintain high-intensity training to ensure their fitness, and the data analysis team has to take every time to study the tactics of each team in the group stage to make sure that they have no problem understanding the version.

If you can't prepare well in the group stage, then starting from the quarterfinals, it is very likely that you will have to go in the first round.

In short, the real tough battle is about to begin.

……

At the same time, the first floor of the Internet café.

The other two clubs have also finished today's training session and packed up their belongings and headed back.

These days, the training schedules of the two clubs are the same, and they will basically train until they leave around 12pm every day.

The daily training arrangement is mainly to play training matches, review training matches, meet to discuss tactics, play high-end games RANK to maintain the feel, and so on.

Because the group stage will officially start tomorrow, so I have to go back a little earlier today and rest as much as possible.

When they arrived at the door of the Internet café, everyone saw the minibus of the FV club as usual, and they all pretended not to see it very tacitly.

At the beginning, the leaders of the two clubs also deliberately studied the training time of the FV club and deliberately staggered it to avoid those relatively awkward scenes.

But then they found out that they didn't have to avoid it at all, and the FV club trained longer than them almost every day!

Both clubs only woke up at about 10 a.m. and went to the Internet café to train after lunch at the hotel, but every time they came, they could see that the minibus had stopped in front of the Internet café.

Both clubs basically leave around 12 p.m., and the minibuses are still there when they leave.

So much so that the leaders and players of both clubs were very confused.

What is the FV club practicing when they go out early and return late every day?

The two clubs don't wake up late because they're lazy, it's mostly on a schedule when they train at home. There are no people in the morning high section, there are no training matches to play, and there is no point in getting up early.

Moreover, people's energy is limited, and training for too long may affect the state, and the efficiency of training may not necessarily be high.

On the other hand, the FV club, which practiced from the morning to the early hours of the morning, was in stark contrast to them.

Both team leaders had a strong sense of curiosity, and on several occasions they pretended to pass by by accidentally, wanting to sneak a peek at the second floor to see how the FV club was training, only to be unsurprisingly watched by four dutiful bodyguards, and did not hear any useful information at all.

This made the two clubs even more curious.

One of the players was very confused and said: "The FV club probably only sleeps six or seven hours a day, and the rest of the time seems to be all training, what are they practicing?" Can the body withstand it? ”

The rest of the team obviously had the same doubts.

The FV club is so hardworking that it looks like a salted fish.

The team leader hurriedly said: "Don't take it to heart, the key to training is to look at efficiency, not time." As the saying goes, many people are using tactical diligence to cover up strategic laziness. ”

"Rest assured, after many inquiries, I have basically determined that FV Club has not played training matches with FRY or any foreign clubs, and there is even a question mark over whether it has played high-end RANK."

"They don't have a super account on hand, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of them buying an account."

"These people are the most numerous, that is, they play training matches with SUG and their own second team. No matter how much you play, it's nothing more than two stinky chess baskets playing chess, and the more you play, the more stinky it becomes, and it won't improve much. ”

"Okay, let's stop staring at the FV club, the group stage will officially start tomorrow, everyone will stay in good shape and play the results of our training match."

"Although we still can't beat strong teams like FRY, we have improved from the beginning. This time, our grouping is okay, everyone plays steadily according to the rhythm and routine of the training match, and it is no problem to strive for the group to qualify for the quarterfinals. ”

On the way back to the hotel, the team leader cheered up, for fear that the mentality of the team members would be affected.

Ever since coming to Los Angeles, the people at FV seem to have been crazy about the mentality of the players at both clubs, consciously or unconsciously.

Sitting in business class, staying in a luxury five-star hotel, the second floor of the Internet café, hiring a car and hiring bodyguards to pick up and drop off the whole process, and what is even more excessive is that the three photography brothers work intensively, in addition to taking pictures every day, they cut videos, and the official Weibo of the FV club has not stopped, at least three or four posts a day.

Although many people are spraying, the official blog is completely unmoved, how to update or how to update, at most, it's just the kind of mouth that is particularly stinky and blacked out.

Later, the trolls were also tired of spraying, and they were all accumulating strength, and when the FV club lost, they would spray with full firepower.

After training in the past few days, seeing the players of the FV club eating and drinking, the other two clubs feel a little sour.

Today is the same, it is already early in the morning, the breeze on the street is a little cool, and everyone unconsciously quickens their pace.

One of the team members suddenly thought of something and said, "Hey, do the people from the FV club have to change to our hotel today?" ”

The tournament will officially start tomorrow, and the company will provide accommodation for all participating clubs.

The previous accommodation expenses of these two clubs were all covered by Longyu Group, and they had to change to the room provided by the finger company in the future, so everyone changed the room at noon today.

In addition, other clubs have also arrived in the past two days and checked into the Courtyard by Marriott.

It stands to reason that the players of the FV club should also be replaced, right?

The finger company is full of room and board, if you don't live in it, won't all this money be wasted?

The rest of the team had obviously not given much thought to this before, and looked at each other with a hint of antiquation in their eyes.

yes, there's no reason why you can't come and stay!

In the past, the finger company did not cover room and board, and it was okay to pay for it to live in a luxury hotel; Now that the finger company has paid for room and board, do you still have to continue to pay out of pocket?

It's a bit too extravagant, isn't it?

If everyone stays at the Courtyard by Marriott together, then everyone's accommodation conditions will be the same, although the FV club still has chartered cars and bodyguards, but at least the mentality of the other two clubs will be slightly weakened.

However, before everyone's dream was finished, they saw the black minibus drive by, still safely parked at the door of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel opposite.

The FV Club players got out of the car and entered the hotel lobby one by one, without even looking at the Courtyard by Marriott.

Obviously, the FV club will also stay here during the game and will not move to the Courtyard by Marriott.

Expectations were disappointed.

The players of the two clubs silently entered the lobby of the Courtyard by Marriott, and their mentality, which had finally stabilized, fluctuated a little......

……

……

Thursday 29 December, 9 a.m.

At 11 a.m. local time in Los Angeles, which is 3 a.m. domestic time, the IOI's World Finals will officially begin.

At the Ritz-Carlton, members of the FV Club are doing basic fitness training in the hotel's gym.

After coming to Los Angeles, the team members still maintain good fitness habits, and it is precisely because of the regular work and rest time and good physical condition that they can maintain better state and concentration, and train longer and more efficiently every day.

The accompanying team doctor carefully watched the state of the players to prevent them from overtraining.

After all, fitness is not to train until exhaustion and grow muscles, but only to keep the body in a good state, improve the concentration in the game, and move the muscles and bones, if you are too tired, it will affect the training effect.

The team doctor ensures that the players are in the best possible physical condition.

In the hotel's lounge area, coaches and data analysis teams are studying the games that are about to start today.

The schedule of this tournament will be relatively strange because the No. 1 seed in each region will be sent to the quarterfinals.

The group stage is a total of 12 teams and four groups, playing a double round-robin BO1, and the first place in each group will qualify.

It will be played for four days, from Thursday to Sunday, six games a day, and this Sunday the group stage will be played in full, and the draw for the quarterfinals will be held.

As for why the first game was played at 11 a.m., everyone can't figure it out.

According to the GPL's custom, it is generally played in prime time from afternoon to evening, but the finger company probably considered that there were too many spectators on the spot, and they were afraid that if the game was suspended due to a bug or for some other reason, it would be too long for the audience to leave, so the time was slightly earlier.

The venue of this competition is a famous local large sports stadium, with a maximum capacity of nearly 20,000 people, which is very famous all over the world.

This time, the finger company is obviously determined to use this global finals to get back on the field, so it spares no expense.

The prize pool for the IOI World Finals is $3 million, and at the same time, the finger company has also specially created a skin, and 25% of the skin sales revenue will also be included in the total prize pool.

In terms of the distribution of the prize pool, the champion will receive 50%, the runner-up 15%, the third and fourth places 7.5% each, the fifth, six, seven and eight teams will each share the remaining 10%.

In other words, in terms of prize pool, it is slightly more than GOG's Global Invitational, and it is even more comprehensive in terms of venues.

After all, the finger company has been being mentally engaged by Tengda, and has long wanted to hold the global finals, but it has been repeatedly interrupted by Tengda and has not been completed.

This time, I finally held back enough energy to hold the World Finals, and I had to surpass GOG on the field by smashing the pot and selling iron, which is a matter of face.

Wu Yue looked at the time and asked Manager Lu to call the team members back to the room to wash, then come down to have breakfast, and prepare to leave for the venue to participate in the opening ceremony.

There will be no FV club games until next week, but this week the players will also selectively go to the scene to watch a few key games to see the playing style and level of other teams, and prepare in advance.
