The so-called emotional value is that when foreigners get involved, Chinese people can enjoy the game even more.

For example, in professional tournaments, if they are held only domestically, there’s basically no viewership.

But if they compete against foreign teams, even if the result is predictable, even if the team isn’t even as strong as a third-rate domestic team, it will still attract a large audience.

This is emotional value.

Of course, winning and losing are also important. If you keep losing, not as many people would want to watch and feel miserable every day.

But Li Yang is not worried because there are a lot of natural FPS talents domestically.

At this moment, Bai Qing also gradually relaxed, "This is why I feel that currently holding professional tournaments isn’t extremely impactful. In the short term, the foreign market can’t be opened up, and the emotional values that can be provided in professional tournaments are not much.

We can first invite a few foreign game streamers to create momentum for us, just like what you’re doing now, husband. Let those big streamers play with their fans, offering a bonus of a few hundred dollars for each kill.

We’ll be responsible for providing these bonuses... Let’s first show the foreign agents the value of this game so that perhaps during negotiations, we can discuss getting a bit more profit...

Even though we’re not organizing professional tournaments for now, we can create a ranking ladder bonus, maybe offer a prize pool divided among the top 100 players at the end of the season based on their scores.

Oh, and one more thing, husband—don’t release too many invitation codes. The more there are, the less they are worth. Let people hype up the current codes, and hopefully, they can drive up their value."

Li Yang: "..."

"This, this..." Bai Qing realized she got carried away and felt a little embarrassed.

People always have a desire to share their thoughts. Usually, she spends little time with Li Yang, and every minute is squeezed to do big things, with not much time for seriously discussing ideals and careers.

She doesn’t want to talk to Li Yang about music or games because these two industries are only pastimes for Li Yang, and anything he does is more important than these.

Today was a rare opportunity.

"Wife, you’re amazing. I’ll sort out my notes here, and once I finalize everything, I’ll discuss it with you..."

"Okay, okay." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After hanging up the video call, Li Yang started sorting out the things Bai Qing mentioned.

Some parts he had thought about, but felt that presenting them alone wasn’t very significant.

However, after going through Bai Qing’s entire process, he realized everything clicked into place.

The whole process would cost at most 30 million, and as for how effective it would be, at least from Li Yang’s perspective, it wouldn’t lose money in the short term.

If it doesn’t lose money in the short term, it definitely won’t in the long term.

If there are losses, it can only be attributed to game operations issues, not this strategy.

Bai Qing really understands player psychology, or rather, she understands the mindset of those players who seek a sense of belonging in games.

Such people are customers that any game company loves. They are willing to spend money on anything related to the game.

And any game cannot do without such people; they are the foundation for determining the value of a game.

Li Yang is not one of those people, so he doesn’t resonate with this.

Bai Qing is one of those people, and she’s certainly the one who knows them best.

After finishing his tasks, he first went to the supermarket downstairs to buy some groceries and then started making soup.

By 12:30, with everything else taken care of, as he calmly waited for the soup, he went to Jiang Banxia’s study.

Jiang Banxia, who was working diligently, looked incredibly charming in her tranquil pose.

Upon hearing some noise, Jiang Banxia glanced up, "Master Li seems quite cheerful, is there something worth celebrating?"

"Sort of, I still have a live stream at 2 PM, should I head back to the dormitory? Come back tonight?"

Jiang Banxia quickly stood up, "No, no! Just stream here, I have nothing to do this afternoon anyway, I’ll keep you company."

What if you couldn’t end the stream over there once you started?

By being near herself, she could also boost his revenue a little.

"Such a big company, no work to do?"

"Master Li, with such a big Extreme Shadow Cars, you don’t have work too?"

Li Yang explained, "That’s because it’s not my turn to work yet. By the end of the year, I’ll have plenty to do."

Jiang Banxia smiled, "Same here, now is the phase of accumulating funds, I don’t have much to do at the moment, probably not until after July."

She wasn’t lying, Jiang Banxia had given up high-frequency trading because the market wasn’t active enough.

At this moment, it’s the phase where big funds cuddle up together, waiting for an opportunity.

...

"Brothers, about the invitation codes, there’s nothing I can do. Yesterday they gave out 50,000 activation chances, but they were all used up. This is just a test, and although it’s non-wipe, it doesn’t have much of an impact. In a month, during the official open beta, everyone will be able to register freely. There are no extra invitation codes for now since the servers wouldn’t be able to handle it anyway..."

"Today, I won’t team up. Teaming up wouldn’t be fair to everyone, affecting everyone’s chance to get supper. Wait until later to see... Mmm, I’m mainly waiting for a few skilled players..."

Bai Qing had mentioned a ten-million-dollar contract early in the morning, so Li Yang also asked Huang Jing for some data. By the morning, three to four thousand people were online.

These people clearly intended to hone their skills to grab that ten-million-dollar contract.

For game players, this might be the closest they will ever get to a million dollars in their lives.

He kept playing until around 6 PM, continuously losing sixty rounds.

Wu Tianqi naturally also gave away three hundred thousand.

After dinner, Li Yang resumed streaming at 8 PM.

But this time, he matched with teammates.
