Champion Prize

"First, as four professional players who won the championship, splitting 3 million gives each person only 750,000. That is far too little. As a championship for the BL Club, this holds symbolic significance and serves as an example for our other gaming departments to emulate."

"Therefore, I have decided to award each professional player an additional 3 million on top of the 750,000 bonus."

"As for Yao Beiguo and Tao Ze, as managers of the club, being able to cultivate such a team shows they are very capable and deserving of rewards. Therefore, both the manager and deputy manager will each be awarded a bonus of 2 million."

"As for the remaining members who followed the team as support staff, they solved many trivial daily life problems for the four professional players. The two heads of the logistics department will each be rewarded 500,000, and other members will each receive 300,000."

"Does anyone have any questions regarding this reward?"

As his voice fell, the conference room fell silent.

Among those attending this meeting were the two logistics heads who accompanied the team to the competition. They had not expected that simply arranging the professional players' daily meals, ensuring balanced nutrition, and monitoring the players' conditions to prevent illness—along with other trivial matters—would be so rewarded.

Yet for just this work, they had actually received a 500,000 bonus, which truly exceeded their expectations.

As for the two managers of the BL Game Club, they exchanged glances at this moment, their eyes filled with shock.

A 2 million bonus!

Although it was not as much as the four professional players—after all, the four professional players were the main figures who won the championship.

But a 2 million bonus was already a lot for them.

After all, the BL Game Club had more than just the Fire Dragon Island gaming department; there were many other gaming departments. If these departments also won championships in official competitions…

…then they would receive championship bonuses again.

If they really cultivated a few championship teams, their bonuses would amount to a significant figure.

As for the others in the conference room, they wore expressions of envy.

They wished that they had been the ones to go to the competition this time.

They couldn't replace the managers, but they could certainly do logistics work. Even if they weren't the heads of logistics, just being a regular logistics staff member would still earn a 300,000 bonus!

This was simply too attractive.

"Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled."

Chen Mo waited for a moment, and seeing that no one raised any questions, he continued.

"Now, let's talk about the second matter: the club's reform."

As Chen Mo's voice rang out, everyone in the conference room recovered from their shock, their expressions becoming solemn.

Club reform was a very important matter.

"The first matter of reform concerns the physical health of the professional players. Every professional player in the club is very young, but to improve their gaming skills, many choose to stay up late training, which is very unhealthy. This, of course, also applies to the staff working at the club."

"Staying up late is very harmful to the body, so starting today, the rest time for the BL Game Club will be from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. The latest time to rest at night must not exceed 12:00 AM."

"Additionally, the club will also arrange for a nap time during the day."

"There is also the matter of the subsequent development of the club's professional players. Esports is a career for the youth; some players basically have to give up their studies to compete."

"It is precisely this point that makes it very difficult for many parents to let their children pursue a career in esports. Therefore, as a club, we cannot just recruit a child into the club because they are talented, without considering the child's future development."

"After all, when professional players retire, without any academic qualifications, what are they supposed to do?"

"In response, our club is implementing countermeasures. From Monday to Friday, there will be three hours of study time every day to teach some cultural knowledge. This ensures that even when professional players retire, they will have their own knowledge reserves, so that even if they want to return to school, it won't be too difficult."

"Alright, that's all regarding the reforms. You should implement these changes as soon as possible."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he tapped his palm lightly on the table and looked at everyone in the conference room.

"General Manager Chen, in that case, the training time for the professional players might be reduced significantly!"

Yao Beiguo spoke up appropriately. Although he hadn't calculated it in detail, just 3 hours of study time meant 3 hours less training time for the team.

"How much do you think training duration improves a professional player's ability? If player ability could be improved solely by relying on training, then why would we go to great lengths to look for talented players? Why not just find any random player and have them train more?"

Chen Mo looked at Yao Beiguo and said with a serious expression.

This…

Yao Beiguo was stunned for a moment. General Manager Chen's theory seemed to have some merit, yet he still felt that something wasn't quite right.

"Alright, it's settled. You should prepare as soon as possible."

"Meeting adjourned!"

Chen Mo tapped the table lightly, then stood up and walked out of the conference room.

Seeing this, Yao Beiguo and Tao Ze didn't have time to overthink it and hurriedly stood up to follow.

"General Manager Chen, why don't you come to my office for a sit?"

Yao Beiguo caught up and invited him.

"No, you go ahead and get busy. The matters I just mentioned must be implemented as soon as possible."

Chen Mo shook his head. Since the matters had already been arranged, there was no point in staying here.

He entered the elevator, arrived at the first floor, and exited the BL Game Club.

At this time, a black Mercedes G-Class was already parked at the entrance of the club. He had already notified Yang Dahai when he got off the plane.

He opened the car door and sat straight inside.

"Return to Changbai Jingyuan."

It was already afternoon, and there was nothing to do at the Mingri Group, so it was better to just go home and rest.

…

Watching General Manager Chen leave, Yao Beiguo and Tao Ze turned and walked back into the club.

"Do you think General Manager Chen's arrangements are right or wrong?"

Yao Beiguo turned his head to look at Tao Ze.

"I don't know, but since General Manager Chen has already given the order, we should just follow it. After all, when has General Manager Chen ever made a wrong decision?"

Tao Ze thought for a moment, recalling the evaluations of General Manager Chen from the managers in the Manager Group Chat.

"That's true."

Yao Beiguo nodded and stopped overthinking it.

"By the way, is the official store ready?"

"It's already done. It should go online the day after tomorrow. By then, we can put those figurines, esports uniforms, and club merchandise on the store for sale."

Tao Ze said with a smile. Now that General Manager Chen had rejected the idea of the club accepting advertising endorsements, they had to find other ways to bring profit to the club.
