Eric stood up and hurried away, apparently going back to video call the Finger Company's headquarters to deal with the matter.

Zhao Xuming continued to stare at the ICL game site, unable to get out.

But he was also very curious, so he took out his mobile phone and looked up relevant information on the Internet.

It's night in Los Angeles, which is the time when players are active on forums and live streaming platforms.

Zhao Xuming found that not only some forums and websites in the United States are discussing this matter, but several popular posts have also been earned by good people on domestic forums, whether it is GOG or ioi players, they are all discussing!

"The ICL hasn't officially started yet, and the finger company has made big news? I see that the forums in Beimi are crazy, saying that the finger company charges sky-high seat fees over there? ”

"The league places of ICS, the North Mi Division League, which is said to be ioi, have been sold for 7 million dollars! It's too expensive, it's a money grab! ”

"It's okay, I heard that the clubs over there are not all very rich? Seven million dollars should still be able to be reached. ”

"But GOG is also preparing for the league over there, and it is said that the way to get a place is free bidding, and the starting price is only $1 million. This comparison shows the gap! ”

"It's not just about price. Clubs in the ICS division are very unhappy with the differential treatment of Finger Company. Because in the domestic competition area, that is, ICL, the places are half bought and half given, which can almost be said to be the price of cabbage; However, the ICS division costs $7 million to buy a spot! What's more, because of the previous public opinion turmoil, the finger company has additional subsidies for the teams on the ICL side, and there is no one on the ICS side. ”

"When you think about it, the clubs and players over there are really going to be explosive mentalities...... I paid more than ten times the price of the ICL region to buy a place, but the treatment was not as good, which is equivalent to cutting meat from myself to cheapen the outer division......"

"When you think about it this way, it's really understandable that the mentality exploded."

"I don't know how the finger company will solve this public opinion crisis, this wave, this wave is just planning to expand the territory, but the house is on fire!"

The more Zhao Xuming looked at it, the more confused he became.

How could this kind of problem occur!

In the final analysis, the incident of this incident lies in the difference in the treatment of the two divisions of North Mi's ICS and the domestic ICL. In order to better promote the ICL league and save the IOI national server, the finger company has given enough discounts on the league places, and because of the GPL, it has to provide a lot of additional benefits to the clubs of the ICL league.

But for the ICS league in North America, the finger company has no such idea.

There are two reasons for this: first, it is Eric who is in charge of the ICL, but it is the other executives of the company who are in charge of the ICS League. The two leagues are prepared at the same time and do not affect each other.

The ICS side should earn the quota fee, and it can't be because the ICL side is half bought and half given, and the ICS quota is also half bought and half given, right? Isn't that a big loss?

Second, there is no way to give various compensation conditions to ICL regional clubs, such as ensuring that players have nutritious diets, daily fitness, etc. Eric doesn't want to spend this money at all, and it is even more impossible to share this condition with all the outer divisions.

How distressing that is!

Therefore, there is indeed such a gap between the ICL league and the ICS league.

In fact, this is normal, and Tengda has not achieved a bowl of water!

Tengda treats GPL like his own son, but for the outer division, it's just a matter of finding a local company to work with.

But Tengda will not encounter this kind of public opinion pressure at all!

The reason for this is that the two companies are in different positions and adopt different strategies.

Tengda is a local company in China, responsible for the operation of the GPL, and it is a matter of course to improve various benefits, although the major clubs spent money to buy places, but the money was returned, and everyone spent it willingly.

The quota in the outer division is a bidding method, and the highest bidder wins, and the club will not complain whether the quota fee is high or low.

As for whether the outer division has these benefits of the GPL, even if the club in the outer division is not satisfied, it will go to the agency of the league, and will not directly rush to the Tengda Group.

What's more, these clubs don't really bother too much about these special subsidies for food or fitness, because they don't realize the importance. They've already saved money on the quota fee, and it doesn't matter if you don't have these benefits.

But it's a different story on the Finger Company's side.

It is precisely because they are a Mi country company that the pressure on the rice country itself will be greater.

The clubs in the United States looked at it, why is the ICL league quota so cheap, and the finger company also pays for the club to pay benefits, but when it comes to us, there are no benefits, and we have to spend seven million dollars to buy league seats?

Finger Company: Are you still not a rice company?

It's okay if you want to promote IOI, but don't suck blood from us to promote it!

After this public opinion was detonated, many players and viewers also felt indignant, especially many people began to turn over old accounts.

The finger company has a long history!

Before, it was to price different regional skins separately, and it had already been sprayed with blood. Originally, this matter has passed, but I didn't expect that the finger company dog couldn't change its eating, and it was sick again!

Moreover, the finger company has branches in all regions of the country, and all the preparation work for the competition area is taken care of by themselves, so if there is any problem, the club and the audience will definitely point the finger directly at the finger company.

The combination of new hatred and old hatred, coupled with the fact that many clubs are behind the scenes and want to put pressure on the finger company, so as soon as this matter was exposed, it was immediately hotly discussed on the Internet!

That's why the top management of the finger company called Eric as soon as possible and asked him to solve the matter together.

As for how to fix it?

Zhao Xuming couldn't guess, but the finger company was probably going to continue to bleed this time.

Once this kind of crisis of public opinion erupts, it is impossible to calm the anger of the public without bleeding.

Zhao Xuming couldn't help but get nervous.

Just now, Eric also swore that the North Mi region is the home of the finger company, and the league will definitely be foolproof, and it is impossible for Tengda to interfere.

As a result, what is the situation now?

Slap in the face on the spot!

Not only is there a problem over there, but it's a big problem!

"Could it be that this is also arranged by Mr. Pei? Is it deliberately chosen at this time node to give the finger company a head-on blow? ”

"No, didn't Mr. Pei just negotiate with us about the cooperation of the ICL League?"

"Do you mean ......?"

"That's right, this public opinion incident is a precise attack on the ICS League, which has nothing to do with ICL, and naturally it will not affect the cooperation between the two of us......"

"This!"

Zhao Xuming was still very puzzled, shouldn't Mr. Pei and us be allies now? Why is this happening again?

But after thinking about it, the cooperation between Mr. Pei and Eric is only limited to the ICL league, and in other regions around the world, the two are still rivals and rivals!

Mr. Pei didn't seem to want to hit the ICL league and affect his own interests, but turned the spearhead to Beimi, and directly came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and hit the door of the finger company!

Zhao Xuming shuddered.

Mr. Pei feels like schizophrenia, while cooperating with you with a grin, he seriously took out the dagger from his arms, and gave you a knife very simply without saying a word!

Zhao Xuming was suddenly a little suspicious, and he didn't know whether this cooperation with Mr. Pei was right or wrong......

……

At 4 p.m., the ICL's exhibition match will begin.

The players from both clubs have arrived at the match site ahead of schedule, and the staff has begun to make preparations to ensure that the match can go smoothly.

Zhao Xuming was backstage, watching the audience enter one after another.

Today's venue is definitely going to be full, after all, it's the first day, and it's too ugly to have empty seats. Fortunately, the old IOI players, internal staff and increased tickets in the magic capital have already occupied seventy-seven or eighty-eight seats on the spot, and there is no problem in hiring some people to fill the remaining vacant seats.

At this moment, Zhao Xuming noticed that Eric was back.

"You're back! How's things going? Zhao Xuming hurriedly greeted him and asked.

Eric's expression looked very tired, obviously tired: "Basically decided on a solution. The ICS quota has been changed to start bidding from $3 million, and clubs in the North Rice region will also enjoy the same preferential treatment as ICL, mainly in terms of diet, fitness, etc. ”

Obviously, the result of the meeting and discussion on the side of the finger company is, admit it!

It's late at night in Los Angeles, and the video call has been going on for half a night, which shows how seriously the senior management of the finger company takes this matter.

Early tomorrow morning, the finger company will issue an announcement to reassure the clubs and players in the North Rice region, and the attitude will be very sincere.

Because the North Mi region is their home base, the leagues in other places can not be run, but the ICS league must be run well!

The difference between the ICS league and the ICL league will indeed be true. It is useless to emphasize that the ICS league has more patrons and more valuable seats, and this reason is difficult to justify.

Therefore, I can only admit it.

The league quota has dropped from a fixed price of 7 million dollars to 3 million dollars, and the finger company will definitely lose a lot of money.

Although the auction can raise the price indefinitely, there are only a few big clubs in the North Rice area, and they can't raise the price of this place at all, and they must hope that everyone will get the best at the lowest price.

Therefore, in the end, most of the places will be traded at a price of four or five million dollars, and for each place, the finger company will lose two million dollars.

Although the subsidy for diet and fitness for the club is not much in terms of amount, it will be an ongoing expense, and the key is that these clubs may not be particularly appreciative!

They will feel that this is a benefit they have earned, not a preferential treatment given to them by the company.

That's why Eric felt very speechless, the ICL on his side was doing well, and suddenly he was shot inexplicably!

Although the money has nothing to do with him, it is clear that the top management of the finger company already has a big opinion about his behavior. In order to promote the ICL League, the clubs and audiences on the ICS side are very dissatisfied, and Eric has to carry a little bit of this pot.

If ICL doesn't do well in the future, and the top management of the finger company is liquidated, Eric is afraid that he will not be able to eat and leave.

Zhao Xuming was not very happy when he saw Eric, and he didn't dare to dwell too much on this topic.

"It's good to be solved! After all, that's an ICS affair and has little to do with us. ”

"All the equipment here has been debugged, and the preliminary preparations for the rabbit tail live broadcast have been completed, just wait for the game to start!"

Eric nodded, took out his phone from his arms, and opened the app of Rabbittail Live.

Although the Rabbit Tail Live APP is quite concise and even a little shabby, the recommendation for ICL is still sufficient. As soon as you enter, there is a large banner of the ICL league on the homepage, which is very eye-catching.

On the other hand, Tengda's own GPL league has not even started broadcasting on Rabbittail Live.

Eric forgot about the previous unpleasantness for a while and began to look forward to the official start of the exhibition match!
