Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 349: Chapter 345: Game Empire (Four Updates, Request for Monthly Tickets)

Ye Chen assigned the hosting rights of the first tournament to Star University.

The entire preparation of the tournament was completed entirely by the students without any support from Ye Chen.

Soon, the application for the collegiate competition was approved, and the whole school became lively.

The advantages of Star University quickly became evident.

The students on the entire campus worked together and quickly set up a large-scale electronic sports arena.

The venue was chosen inside the gymnasium, and the overall layout was completed by students from the design major.

However, promoting the game became the most challenging task.

To achieve better promotion and let more professional enthusiasts know about this competition, Ye Chen could have simply spent some money on advertisements in various big media outlets, but he didn’t do that.

Ye Chen chose another method and let the students figure it out on their own.

This was also a rare practical opportunity for the students of Star University.

The students from the music department got involved, with Luo Jingshan and several band members specially writing an e-sports theme song.

Members from the animation department produced dazzling promotional animations.

Almost the entire Star University joined the preparation work for this competition.

The formidable cohesion and creativity of Star University also manifested in this preparation for the tournament.

Moreover, the students from the computer science department even specially created a promotional website for the collegiate competition.

Mo Xiaoxiao went even further, mobilizing fellow students from the hacker major to send the promotional link to QQ groups of students from various universities using hacking techniques.

Soon, the collegiate electronic sports competition was promoted across major universities in Hua Country.

The game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds already had quite a lot of university players, and through the promotion of Star University, these players also began to pay attention to this competition.

At Fudan University, Gao Yu had just finished a round of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

At this moment, a website link suddenly popped up in the QQ group.

”A beauty did such a thing suddenly deep in the night...”

The link sparked much imagination.

Out of curiosity, Gao Yu clicked the link, and it turned out to be the promotional website for the first PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds e-sports competition.

He was instantly attracted by the cool page.

After viewing it, Gao Yu became very interested.

The rewards of this competition were overly generous, amounting to a million.

Most importantly, this competition was definitely a platform for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds enthusiasts to showcase themselves.

The competition required teams of five people to participate in the group match.

After watching, Gao Yu was just about to call his partners when their call came first.

”Gao Yu, have you seen the promotional advertisement for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds?”

”Yes, I saw it and felt it was great.”

”Exactly, it’s simply awesome.”

”Do you want to give it a try?”

”We definitely have to.”

...

Not long after, several schoolmates who were pretty strong at playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds called him.

Soon, their five-person team was formed.

On the way, the students were all discussing the electronic sports competition hosted by Star University.

It seemed that what was said online was indeed true.

Five students gathered in the dormitory and quickly filled out the registration form.

...

It’s not just Fudan University.

Students from universities across the country who loved playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds received the news and started signing up.

These students were all loyal players of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

They were thrilled upon hearing this news.

Previously, they only played in internet cafes for excitement.

Now they finally have the opportunity to compete with real masters.

Most importantly, they also represented their respective schools.

Soon, one registration form after another was sent to the registration email managed by Sun Ze.

The Star University e-sports competition finally became popular among universities across Hua Country.

Many students were full of enthusiasm, looking forward to this competition.

In Modu, at the Blue Hole headquarters.

Cui Longzhu said with some concern, ”Chairman Ye, is it okay to entrust such an important competition to a college student to host?”

Ye Chen smiled faintly, ”I have confidence in my students.”

”What? Your students?” Cui Longzhu was taken aback.

Ye Chen laughed, ”That’s right, they are my students. I am the president of Star University, and our school also has Hua Country’s only program specializing in e-sports.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Cui Longzhu said, ”Mr. Ye, are you really planning to professionalize gaming?”

Ye Chen nodded, ”Why not?”

”However, several other shareholders seem to be not very interested in e-sports. There are many opposing opinions for this competition. They believe it would be more cost-effective to invest money in advertising rather than in such competitions.”

Ye Chen frowned upon hearing this.

If the concepts don’t align, it is very difficult to turn this game into a global competitive game.

Ye Chen nodded, ”Don’t worry, leave this matter to me.”

The next day, Cui Longzhu received shocking news that Ye Chen had acquired another 20% of the company’s shares, increasing his holdings from 30% to 50%, making him Blue Hole’s largest shareholder and the new chairman.

Upon hearing this news, Cui Longzhu was completely stunned.

How much money does this young man actually have?

With the shareholding issue resolved, the next step was to organize this e-sports competition well.

On the Maoya side, the live streaming platform had been debugged, and everything was ready, only waiting for the competition to finally begin.

Ye Chen returned home to find Lin Wanrou had already prepared the meal.

After a busy day, Ye Chen was also hungry and finished all the dishes in one go.

Ye Chen smiled, ”Wanrou, thank you so much for making me feel at home.”

Hearing Ye Chen consider this place as home, Lin Wanrou blushed slightly.

”Young master, Hua Mansion will always be your home, and Wanrou will always be waiting for you there.”

Ye Chen held Lin Wanrou in his arms.

During this period, the two of them got along well, and Lin Wanrou knew Ye Chen very well.

The feeling Ye Chen gave her was unfathomable.

As Ye Chen’s head housekeeper, Ye Chen was obviously driving DiDi every day, yet there were always industries continuously acquired into Ye Chen’s hands.

”By the way, how is our VR game now?”

”The first batch of machines has already started manufacturing, but some modifications are still needed. The latest sample should be ready in three or four days.”

Ye Chen was surprised, ”That’s so fast.”

Lin Wanrou smiled, ”Of course, I personally supervised it.”

Ye Chen gratefully said, ”Wanrou, thank you so much.”

Ye Chen felt he was indeed very fortunate.

So many beautiful women by his side were helping him.

Now even Su Xiaoya was helping manage the rent for the school district houses, becoming a landlady.

It was because of these helpers that Ye Chen had time to drive DiDi.

Hearing Ye Chen’s compliment, Lin Wanrou was very happy.

”The main thing is still your design blueprint, young master, which is amazing.”

Ye Chen nodded, ”Yes, after it’s released, we can also make a big splash in the gaming market.”

Now that he had acquired Blue Hole Company, the next step was to rename Blue Hole Company to Star Game Company.

Ye Chen wanted to create a gaming empire of his own.
