As a ga developer, Soaring Dragon Group is the one that sets the rules of the ga. They know better than anyone else where the God-grade equipnts and divine skills are located in the ga. Signing a contract with a competitive team to participate in competitions is inherently unfair to the other teams.
In this situation, Soaring Dragon Ga Studios needs to avoid any conflict of interest.
"The big boss Evil Rampage didn't read the contract, did he?" Mary pointed at the contract and said, "This isn't a competition contract; it's an endorsent contract."
"Endorsent contract?"
Upon hearing this, Evil Rampage boss quickly looked down at the contract, and as expected, the signing terms were clearly stated on it.
At this mont, Mary added, "The terms in this contract only pertain to ga endorsent; aside from that, all the big bosses are not bound by any constraints."
"This..."
Hearing Mary's explanation, Wang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this inappropriate? No work, no pay. I feel like there's sothing off about this contract..."
It's not surprising that Wang Yu felt uneasy; after all, he's always been a sensible person who believes in getting paid for the work done.
The benefits stated in this contract were evidently at the level of a top-tier team.
A competitive team and an endorsent are two entirely different concepts.
A competitive team requires a significant investnt of ti and energy in training and participating in various competitions. Although it may seem easy to play gas every day without having to farm for gear or materials, it is actually exhausting, often more demanding than a regular job.
For a company to spend millions to sign these professional players is, in essence, worth it.
However, endorsents are different. Usually, endorsents involve just filming an advertisent or, at most, posing for a few pictures and saying a few words. Even hiring a top celebrity for such work would cost only a few million; hiring a couple of fresh faces would certainly be more beneficial than using this group of guys from the Quan Zhen Sect.
These old dogs are either ugly or sleazy, and Wang Yu, who is sowhat charming yet still a bit naïve, can't see how spending billions to hire this group for endorsents is of any use.
"Haha!"
Seeing Wang Yu's expression, Mary chuckled and said, "Brother Bull! To be honest, a few billion to get you to endorse isn't actually that much."
"Is that so? Am I really worth that much?" Wang Yu asked incredulously.
He considered himself just a martial artist, not a young model or fresh-faced celebrity, so how could he be worth that much?
"Of course you are."
Without needing Mary to elaborate, Fearless chid in, "Have you forgotten that back when you just started playing, soone offered a billion to sign you, and you turned it down? At that ti, you were already worth a billion, let alone now."
Fearless truly has a clear understanding of things. Back then, Wang Yu had an implicit value of one billion without showing any signs. Now that he is a core player of a professional league championship team, a few billion is really not too much.
"I know", Wang Yu said. "But this is just an endorsent."
"Hmph!" Fearless snorted, "Do you think the Mary family would make a losing deal? They are targeting you as a potential world champion, understand?"
"Haha!" Upon hearing Fearless's words, Mary laughed heartily, saying, "Fearless always speaks so straightforwardly."
Fearless was right; Soaring Dragon Group signed Wang Yu precisely because they recognized his strength.
In the gaming industry, promotional expenses typically account for one-tenth of a ga's profits. This ans that if Soaring Dragon Ga Studios earns a billion, the promotional departnt must allocate a hundred million for advertising.
Years ago, Soaring Dragon had a very popular mobile ga that generated an annual profit of three hundred billion, leading to promotional expenses of thirty billion, to the point where they would hire a star for every new ga hero.
As for , which is currently the most groundbreaking title for Soaring Dragon, its annual profits exceed one trillion, and its promotional costs can be imagined.
However, since is a traditional online ga, the effect of hiring celebrities for endorsents is relatively small compared to hiring skilled gars.
Mary, having entered the ga and mingled with the Quan Zhen Sect from the start, is undoubtedly well aware of Wang Yu's strength. It makes sense for her to place her bets on him in advance.
After all, a few billion is trivial compared to Soaring Dragon Group's promotional budget of hundreds of billions. Securing Wang Yu, a potential world champion, as a spokesperson is indeed a profitable move for them.
If Wang Yu were to actually win the world championship, that few billion would be nothing compared to what Soaring Dragon Ga Studios could offer afterward.
Fearless, being so astute, certainly wouldn't be fooled by Mary's little sches.
"Heh heh."
Facing Mary's awkwardness, Fearless smiled again and said, "We old folks in the Quan Zhen Sect know our own strength well, but you probably know better than what kind of abilities Old Bull has. Even if Old Bull drags us down from winning the world championship, we should at least make it into the top four, right? This way, you're saving a lot of money, isn't that a bit unfair?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Mary replied with a grin. "This contract is rely a signing contract. If you all can win the world championship, I guarantee your bonuses will be at least an extra digit compared to the numbers on the contract."
"Hiss..."
As soon as Mary said this, everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect gasped.
Indeed, as a child from a wealthy family, her words carried weight; with just a few exchanges, billions were on the table.
...
Although the Quan Zhen Sect isn't lacking in second-generation heirs, most of them aren't particularly wealthy. On a daily basis, they have little concept of a few billion; it could just be a casual expression. But when a real contract worth several billion is laid out in front of them, the feeling is entirely different.
This is solid cash, real hard currency, not the in-ga currency...
With this money, as long as everyone avoids self-destructive behaviors involving gambling or drugs, they could comfortably live out the rest of their lives.
Young Frost Blade earned a few billion based solely on his own strength, which would give him so backbone in front of his future father-in-law.
Even the notoriously wealthy demon boss couldn't help but feel a bit tempted.
"Uh, should I be signed too?" Evil Rampage boss asked. "Actually, I also count as one of the players from the Uhe League."
"Of course, that's fine." Mary replied casually. "If Evil Rampage boss wants to join, I'll offer you the sa treatnt as Brother Bull."
"Little Mary is straightforward", Evil Rampage boss smiled. "Don't worry, the Quan Zhen Sect will definitely sign, and even if they hesitate, I'll force them."
Indeed, in this world, the only thing that truly transcends all is money. In front of cash, even the mightiest of bosses must bow their heads.
"Then as for our team's equipnt and resources, will soone reimburse us?" At this mont, Fearless didn't forget to co over and take advantage of the situation.
"Absolutely", Evil Rampage boss shalessly replied. "If you need materials, just get them from . Little Mary wouldn't let suffer a loss, right?"
"Of course not", Mary smiled.
