The FD Club and Yun Luoyang were also notified by Brother Leg.

The two of them were ready to be sent by Ouyang Zhang to report at the gate of the China Overseas Sports Bureau at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

"Huh? Puppy, you're there too. ”

Yun Luoyang and Brother Leg were taken into a small conference room by the staff.

It doesn't look like a formal meeting, and the meeting room is not large, maybe only about 50 square meters. The whole is not a very serious white wall decoration, but beige, revealing a warmth.

In the middle is a rectangular round table with plants on it, fifteen chairs are arranged, and paper and pen are thoughtfully placed in front of each seat.

If it's a formal occasion, it's definitely a big conference room that's more serious, rather than a small one.

The puppy was the first to arrive, sitting on a table and fiddling with a water-based pen in boredom. Seeing Yun Luoyang and Brother Leg coming in, his eyes lit up: "Little fat 975, you are here, come and sit here." ”

These players must have been sent by the club's driver, but the driver was not allowed to go upstairs, so it was naturally boring to sit here alone. Suddenly seeing acquaintances come again, at least you can chat, and for a 17-year-old puppy, the unfamiliar environment will not be so tense.

Yun Luoyang sat down, and the puppy whispered beside him, "Brother Luoyang, you were also notified to come over for a meeting." I heard Brother De say that this time it seems to be related to the Asian Games, and the country wants to select a Chinese team to participate, do you think it will be looking for us? ”

Dege is the CEO of the club that has now changed its name to HS Royalty, and he is also the club manager Li Yande, whose ID is no longer crazy.

Yun Luoyang smiled and said mysteriously: "Don't be so sure about things that have not been concluded, but I can only say that maybe it will be connected with the Asian Games, but if we don't go, we still have to see the result." ”

In fact, he didn't know that Ouyang Zhang had received a notice from the Sports Bureau to let Yun Luoyang and Brother Leg come over, and the specific and detailed things must have been discussed at the meeting.

It's just that since it's him and not someone else, at least it shows that this matter is a joke, after all, the Sports Bureau is only in charge of sports, and e-sports players have never been in charge of them like wild children before, if it has nothing to do with the Asian Games, what did the Sports Bureau suddenly call them over this time? Come and chat nonsense?

After a while, a few people came one after another, Curly Hair, the director of Guodian's Abu, OMA's dog, and the managers and coaches of other clubs. However, these people are not League of Legends clubs, there are some people in other projects, such as the human emperor of WEA.

Abu was the gold medal coach of the last indoor games, and it makes sense to call him here, but I don't know if he is still a coach this time.

Everyone chatted for a while, and a few more people came in at the door. The leader was a spirited old man, about 70 years old, dressed in a clean black tunic, striding in the front, followed by several middle-aged men.

"Weekly Bureau!"

Abu immediately stood up and looked at a balding middle-aged man behind the old man.

That person was the director of the China Overseas Sports Bureau, surnamed Zhou.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ju waved his hand and introduced to everyone: "This is the former deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports, Song Bureau." ”

Everyone was in awe, and quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Hello, Director Song." ”

It looks like an elementary school student greeting the principal, and it is very reserved.

No wonder they are not informal, because of the Asian Games, everyone also learned about the situation of the Sports Bureau.

The China Overseas Sports Bureau is a local sports bureau, and the director is at the department level.

And the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China is terrible, don't look at the name of a bureau, but the director is a high-ranking official, and the deputy director is also at the deputy ministerial level, and he is already a small group of people at the top level of the central government.

A deputy ministerial-level boss, although he has retired, the aura of the leader is still there, and everyone is scared like quails.

However, Song Lao was very kind, without a little minister's shelf, and said with a smile: "Sit, sit." Don't be so inhibited, this is not a formal meeting, just feel free to do so. ”

said so, but it couldn't be really casual, everyone sat down properly, straightened their backs, looked like an instructor for military training, and didn't dare to move.

Song Lao sat down and said with a smile: "Now the state advocates that old cadres give full play to their residual heat, although I have retired, I rarely care about sports anymore." But since the country has a place for me, I am still willing to come out and walk around more. ”

Zhou Ju said with a smile: "Although the inclusion of e-sports in sports has been established as early as 2003, but in addition to a few large-scale e-sports events held by the General Administration, there are still very few official projects in the world. ”

Either they are leaders, and this art of speaking is enough for this group of young people to learn for more than ten years.

Yun Luoyang, they lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to speak.

Song Lao laughed and said: "I have a fart experience, that is, the country still attaches great importance to emerging industries in this area, so I sent an old man like me to come over, otherwise I will be blind to the competition of the young people, and I don't know anything." ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, you are an old handsome, you only need to sit in the rear and command and dispatch. There will be handsome talents, and there will be generals. Didn't you find a few experts in this area? ”

Zhou Ju turned his head to Abu and said to them with a smile: "You are Xiao Ji, I saw you last time in the indoor cloud conference." I know that you are an expert in this area, so I specially asked someone in the bureau to call you over, and you can introduce the situation to Song Laoxian. ”

Abu was the head coach of the Asian Indoor Games before, and he had been in contact with people in the system, and he was familiar with the face in front of the Zhou Bureau, and he knew how to deal with it. He knows that the Sports Bureau doesn't know much about e-sports, including the last indoor games, and only one director-level director was in charge, but the actual power is in his hands.

So Abu actually knew what the leaders wanted and what they wanted to hear. So Abu briefly described the concept of e-sports and the scale of the e-sports industry, including the scale of the e-sports industry of Koreans today, the drive of e-sports to other industries, especially the importance of Koreans to e-sports, not only investing heavily in e-sports, but also gaining respect for e-sports players, such as Star Box was once received by the president.

Song Lao nodded frequently when he heard this, and finally sighed: "South Korea is a small country with a population of 50 million, and its area is not as large as a province in China. But I didn't expect its e-sports industry to be so developed, with a market size of more than 100 billion, directly or indirectly driving tens of thousands of jobs, and becoming an emerging national pillar industry. It seems that the potential of the e-sports market is huge, and its future scale is also predictable, and at this point, we should indeed learn from the South Koreans, learn from him, and standardize, industrialize, marketize, and scale e-sports as soon as possible. Let our country's e-sports industry take shape as soon as possible and drive more economic development. ”

In fact, more than 100 billion is really not much, which is equivalent to 600 million yuan. However, South Korea is only a small country with a population area that is not as large as a province in China, and when an industry can reach more than 100 billion won and can drive tens of thousands of jobs, it has become a good pillar of emerging industries.

What's more, this pillar itself exists under the huge industrial chain of Korean games.

In fact, the Korean game industry chain is very exaggerated.

Semiconductors, shipbuilding, automobiles, home appliances, and petrochemicals have always been South Korea's five traditional pillar industries. But these industries are declining, so Koreans have turned to the development of five new industries: information, gaming, nanotechnology, biology and light.

Including the e-sports industry, the total value of the Korean game industry reached $7.588 billion as early as 2013. Millions of people have been directly or indirectly employed by the development of the gaming industry.

Among them, we are familiar with Legends, Bubble Hall, Karting Runner, Audition, Dungeons & Warriors, Crossfire, Dragon Nest, and Aion.

At present, the e-sports industry of Koreans in the world is quite complete, and a small country with a population of 50 million can create a very terrifying e-sports market scale. After the top countries such as the United States and China, ranking third, you can know how developed its game industry is.

However, Abu still gave Song Lao a shot in the arm, he smiled: "In fact, our country's e-sports industry is also gradually rising, as far as I know, the annual output value of Koreans in e-sports is only 600 million, but the output value of e-sports in our country alone has reached more than 20 billion yuan, and the total output value of games has reached more than 30 billion US dollars, nearly 200 billion yuan, which is four or five times that of them." Although this is due to the fact that our country is rich in land and resources, this is the advantage of a big country. And under the premise that our game industry has not been vigorously developed, with the potential of our country's e-sports industry, if it can be developed as soon as possible, this number will grow in the future. ”

Song Lao's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile: "Yes, I came here this time, and I am also working hard for this." If e-sports can be included in a sports event of such a specification as the Asian Games, some domestic media and people who are not optimistic about e-sports can also keep their mouths shut. But that's the crux of the matter. ”

Abuyun Luoyang and the others glanced at each other, and their faces became serious. Everyone is a smart person, what is the problem that Song Lao said, and what is the key, in fact, it is clear at a glance.

Grades!

It's not just esports that is a place where results speak, sports events are also king.

Especially in China, traditional education tells people that no one will remember the second in the world, they will only remember the name of the first in the world.

E-sports was included in the Asian Games as a sporting event, because it was held by South Koreans, and those in the country who regarded e-sports as a flood of beasts did not have their turn to dictate.

But once they don't get the results, these people may immediately stand up and strike another devastating blow to domestic e-sports. Although e-sports is already a trend, it is impossible to destroy the entire e-sports circle like the last Blue Speed Internet café incident.

However, it will undoubtedly become a lot of obstacles, such as if the country wants to vigorously promote the development of e-sports and try to open e-sports majors in various universities to formalize this emerging industry, these obstacles may form a stumbling block.

Therefore, the pressure on these professional players must not be too small, only by winning the championship and winning the gold medal can they have enough convincing power to sweep all obstacles in the bud!
