Chapter 631 - Huang Wang is Back!
Chapter 631: Huang Wang is Back!
August 27th, Saturday, afternoon…
Pei Qian took the car to the DGE Club.
This Friday was supposed to listen to He An’s lecture, but He An said two days in advance that he could not come over because of some personal affairs. He, therefore, postponed it to Friday two weeks later.
That was the last class. It did not matter as long as it could be completed before settlement.
Saturday morning was the regular meeting with Manage Loss Trainees. However, there was nothing much this time. Pei Qian already knew most of their reports, including the publicity GOG international server and the launch of the Sloth Apartments.
The only thing worth noting was that the new players of the DGE Club were done with their trial training so Pei Qian intended to go there in the afternoon to take a look.
Huang Wang had left for a week. During that time, the DGE Club had no more hot discussions on the internet. Pei Qian felt a lot more at ease.
The recruitment of new players had been ongoing. After Huang Wang left, Zhang Yuan had been screening capable passers-by for trial training. DGE was now well-known so some potential new players also signed up enthusiastically.
The trials were now over. The new midlaner replaced the original midlaner of Team One, and the latter was now made the Captain of Team Two. That meant that the entire team had to adapt to the new changes.
“Boss Pei, please sit.” Zhang Yuan had already arranged the ‘Ultimate Viewing Seat’ for Boss Pei in advance.
The new Team One and Team Two were now preparing for a mock competition. They wore their soundproof headphones, looking very focused.
Pei Qian quickly saw the new midlaner. He was the only person thin as a stick while the others were hulks. It was very eye-catching and could not be unrecognized at a glance.
Zhang Yuan sat at one side, thinking silently. It seemed like Boss Pei was still very concerned about the DGE Club. He came to inspect as soon as he heard that there were new players. He wanted to see if they were reliable and could continue with their previous strengths.
Zhang Yuan knew that the previous DGE Club was able to maintain constant victories.
A large part of the reason was that they started their professional training two months earlier than the other clubs. They have had a lot of tactical reserves and a much higher understanding of the game itself than the other clubs.
And now, after the personnel changes, whether the team could maintain combat effectiveness or not… this truly reflected the club’s heritage!
A strong club had to have strong talent mining ability, talent training ability, regular and scientific management, professional game analysis technical team, and professional logistics support. They could ensure that the team’s strength would not fluctuate too much only by doing so.
Otherwise, the strength of a team would depend on drawing cards. If a good player was drawn, it would be stronger; if a weaker player was drawn, their score would collapse. That was not a qualified club.
Zhang Yuan felt that Boss Pei’s visit must also be looking at the club performance after the change in players. That was to remind him to focus on cultivating the club’s talent pool and professional management capabilities.
Seeing Boss Pei watch the match between the two teams was so serious. Zhang Yuan felt that the burden on his shoulders became heavier.
Pei Qian was secretly delighted.
Very good, this substitution seemed to have weakened the strength of both teams! The combat effectiveness of Team One had undoubtedly declined. The operation level, hero pool, and tactical qualities of this midlaner were obviously incomparable to the original midlaner.
The combat effectiveness of Team Two had also declined. The command used to be by Huang Wang and Old Zhou; now, they were replaced by a midlaner with no commanding experience previously. The team members were obviously not so smooth in their cooperation.
Therefore, the two teams had played back and forth.
It was a good sign!
As long as DGE did not possess the strong dominance that they possessed previously, the halo in the eyes of the audience would fade quickly.
By then, how much attention could a club that could not play regular games get?
Selling one player could weaken the combat effectiveness of the two teams. Pei Qian felt that he felt his operation was similar to ‘killing two birds with one stone’?
Pei Qian could not help but feel a little proud.
Pei Qian was basically at ease after watching two training games. The two teams would have to run in with everyone again so their combat power declined very much.
The various clubs were still playing mock competitions recently. There were no more live-streams the heat accumulated with the ZZ Live-Stream cup was quickly fading.
Waiwai continued to support Huang Wang, but they would no longer deliberately tie him to the DGE Club since he was now a member of the H4 Club.
The audience all had goldfish memories. The heat came and went in no time. There might be people still discussing the DGE Club, but these discussions were not enough to make them popular.
It looked like DGE Club seemed to be turning around, right? Well, that was exciting news!
Pei Qian relaxed and got up to rest as the mock competition ended.
However, Zhang Yuan’s phone rang at this moment. He picked it up only after a while. “Hello? Huh? What? Now? You’ve arrived? At the door?
“Wait for a while; I’ll come out right now!”
Zhang Yuan hung up the phone, still a little dazed.
Pei Qian was a little puzzled and asked. “Who’s here?”
“Huang Wang was here!” Zhang Yuan replied.
Pei Qian was also dumbfounded. “Where? Our club? Shouldn’t he be in Shanghai? Why is he back?”
Pei Qian became nervous suddenly. This Huang Wang, he couldn’t possibly be uncomfortable in H4 Club and want to return here?
Don’t joke with me!
Zhang Yuan also looked dumbfounded. “I don’t know either; he didn’t tell me that he’s coming!”
Pei Qian instinctively felt something was not right. Huang Wang had only left Jingzhou for a week! It was not like he was married off and coming home within a week according to tradition!
Zhang Yuan hurriedly took the team members out to greet him. Pei Qian followed with a dazed look as well.
He saw Huang Wang beckoning to everyone happily. More than a dozen people were also getting off the taxis, including Team Leader Su and Pang Ling.
Every one of them dragged their luggage as though they were moving. Pei Qian had a very bad premonition suddenly.
What did these people want to do?
It seemed more like Huang Wang abducted the entire H4 Club’s GOG division including their two teams and staff instead of sneaking back!
The players from both sides met and greeted each other.
Zhang Yuan was lost as well. “What is happening? Why so many people?” He asked.
Huang Wang roared with laughter. “I have finally convinced the H4 Club to move to Jingzhou after a week of convincing! Of course, just the GOG division.”
Pei Qian’s mind filled with question marks.
Zhang Yuan was shocked as well.
Sold a player and obtained two teams instead?
What the f*ck was this?!
“In fact, strictly speaking, the management was not persuaded by Huang Wang. They made this decision after considering all aspects,” Team Leader Su explained with a smile.
“The training base of the H4 Club is shared by many divisions and is already very crowded. Therefore, we have been looking for a suitable new base after we obtained the 2.2 million US dollar.
“But none of them were suitable! The houses in Shanghai are really too expensive; they are not as affordable as in Jingzhou.
“Moreover, it is very difficult to provide the same fitness environment there as in Jingzhou. We have to ensure that there is a large gym next to the training base and professional coaches which made the site selection more difficult.
“We feel that they were all too expensive after looking around.
“The GOG division has nothing to do with the other divisions anyway. Even if we are to stay in Shanghai, there will not be too much interaction. Therefore, Shanghai is no more attractive to us. We, therefore, decided to move to the more suitable Jingzhou!
“First, there are many supporting facilities in Jingzhou such as Fish-Catching Take-Out, Deposit Fitness, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, and Upwind Logistics which could easily meet the fitness and diet requirements of Huang Wang and his other team members.
“Second, moving our division to Jingzhou can reduce operation cost since we do not have direct links with the other divisions.
“Finally, it would be more convenient here, whether it is to play mock competitions with DGE club, daily communications, or to participate in competitions! The world invitation event this time will also be held in Jingzhou. It would be more advantageous to play on home ground.
“We, therefore, decided to move to Jingzhou and fully replicate the DGE model!
“Not only will it solve the requirements from Boss Pei for our club—guarantee the training environment for our players, it can also help us develop in-depth cooperation with the DGE club and to prepare for the world invitation in advance. It is simply great on all fronts!”
“We, therefore, decided to move after all these considerations!”
Zhang Yuan was a little shocked. “That’s it? So decisive?”
Team Leader Su nodded. “Of course! We are not from Shanghai anyway; there is not much difference in changing cities for training. Why, are we not welcome?”
Zhang Yuan laughed. “How can that be? Of course, you are welcome! Are you going to rent Ming Yun Villas as well?”
Team Leader Su nodded. “It would be best if we can rent it and become neighbors! However, if there is no more space, we can consider other places with the precondition that there is Deposit Fitness and Fish-Catching Take-Out nearby!”
Zhang Yuan nodded. “That’s easy. I’ll bring you to Manager Cui now and ask him to arrange for you!”
The teams from both sides also mingled around in heated discussions.
Huang Wang was obviously a little snobbish now. “How, didn’t I say we’ll meet again soon?”
Old Zhou was a little speechless. “Huang Wang, you are really good. Not only did you return, but you also brought the H4 Club back with you in a week. You’re really something.”
Huang Wang saw the rookie midlaner. “Hey, this is my successor, right? I wonder if he can withstand the extra training with that skinny body of his.”
