A month later.

Today's intel, waiting for an esports team to turn the tables: In Linbei District, Shancheng, there is an esports team called the Extreme Path Team looking for new investors to fund their participation in the international Dota Alliance competition. Investing in this team is a great opportunity.

Note: The team ultimately achieved excellent results in the S-Class international competition of the Dota Alliance.

Contact details of relevant personnel are attached on the second page.

Chen Yiyang, who arrived in Shancheng in the early morning, came across today's investment intel.

Chen Yiyang certainly knows the game Dota Alliance. He used to love playing it a lot.

Now, because he's quite busy with work and can't keep up with the changes in heroes and equipment, he gets beaten up instantly when he goes in, so he hasn't played in a long time.

Chen Yiyang didn't expect that on his first day in Shancheng, the investment intel would lead him to invest in a Dota Alliance esports team.

Chen Yiyang checked it out.

The esports competitions of Dota Alliance are divided into S, A, and B levels.

B-level competitions are those within various district leagues, divided into spring and summer segments each year.

The A-level is an international invitational tournament held before the summer competition each year, with little prize money, mainly to fill time.

The S-Class is the grand finale at the end of the year, and it's the most important tournament in Dota Alliance throughout the year.

The champion of the S-Class international tournament can win at least thirty million US Dollars in prize money.

You could say whoever wins this championship will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their life.

Currently, it's one month before the start of the S-Class international competitions.

Only teams that win the top two positions in B-level district competitions or win the qualifiers can participate in the S-Class international competition.

Chen Yiyang checked out this Extreme Path Team.

He found that this team once had a glorious period years ago, ranking second in the Dota Alliance in the Huaxia District.

But in recent years, it has completely declined, and the team's roster this year is also under no competitive pressure.

The top lane was picked up from players other teams didn't want.

The middle laner was a bundled addition when Extreme Path bought their previous jungler.

The two players on the bottom lane were a small streamer and a fringe player who used to play in city invitational tournaments.

And the jungler is even more significant, who used to play as a marksman and has temporarily switched to jungling due to a lack of team members.

Though this team has stumbled their way into this year's playoffs.

No one believes they can make it to the S-Class international invitational competition at the end of the year.

Hence, sponsors and investors see no profit potential and decide to withdraw their funding.

Otherwise, once the B-level competitions within the district end, they would have to pay the players' playoff bonuses according to the contract.

Online, fans are sharing information that the Extreme Path Team's management has left, leaving only a former jungler who is now a part-time team leader, going everywhere seeking investment to allow the team to finish the remaining competitions.

This is quite an investment opportunity. If he gets involved now and funds the Extreme Path Team to enter the international competition.

Though he's unsure how excellent the "excellent result" mentioned in the intel is, top eight should be achievable.

At that point, even selling the players could earn him a few million.

Chen Yiyang felt very satisfied. Even though it was already nighttime.

But Chen Yiyang thought, given the professional habits of esports players, they probably weren't asleep yet.

So he wanted to make a phone call to arrange to meet the current team leader tomorrow.

Who knew that the taxi Chen Yiyang was sitting in suddenly felt like a roller coaster, going up and down, making him feel like he was going to throw up.

"Driver, where are you driving? Why is the road so bumpy?!" Chen Yiyang couldn't help but ask.

"We're on the main road. The roads in Shancheng are just like this." The driver said while driving.

Soon, the car stopped bumping, but the whole vehicle started to sway.

Chen Yiyang opened the window to see.

My goodness, the taxi was actually going down stairs!

It was the first time Chen Yiyang had seen a car going down stairs!

So Chen Yiyang couldn't help but shout, "Are these stairs also considered the main roads in Shancheng?!"

"This is a side road. I'm just trying to save you some time." The driver confidently said.

Fortunately, the stair road was short, and soon the car was back on a normal road.

The "normal road" here means it still felt like a roller coaster ride, but at least the driver wasn't driving on stairs anymore.

"We've arrived at the destination."

After a long, torturous journey, the driver finally dropped Chen Yiyang off at his destination.

The Dry Mud Food Factory was in front of an office building within Shancheng.

Even though it was already 1 a.m., there were still four people waiting for Chen Yiyang's arrival in front of the office building.

"Are you Mr. Chen?" The four people asked as soon as they saw Chen Yiyang getting out of the car.

"That's me." Chen Yiyang responded.

"Welcome, Mr. Chen." The few people hurriedly approached Chen Yiyang, with two of them directly taking Chen Yiyang's luggage from his hand.

"No need to go to so much trouble. You came to pick me up at this hour; should I be paying you overtime?"

"Mr. Chen, you really know how to joke." Said a woman in her thirties who was leading the group, smiling at Chen Yiyang.

The Dry Mud Food Factory was the food processing factory that Isis sold to Chen Yiyang a month ago.

After a month, Chen Yiyang finally completed all the procedures with Isis and obtained 100% equity in the factory, becoming the new owner of this food processing factory.

And just as Chen Yiyang stayed in West Capital City, he discovered he couldn't find particularly good information for bargain hunting.

So he simply came to Shancheng.

One reason was to inspect his factory, and the other was to see if he could find any good deals in Shancheng.

After all, even though he currently has sixty million in liquid capital, it's still a bit lacking to go to top-tier cities like Shanghai or the Imperial Capital.

Originally, Chen Yiyang wanted to visit a first-tier city like Jinling.

But Shancheng has also developed well in recent years, making it a good choice.

"I'm Liu Xiaoyue, currently the deputy factory manager of our Dry Mud Food Factory," the woman introduced herself.

"Where's the factory manager? Why didn't he come?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"Boss, didn't you know? Our factory was previously a fully foreign-invested one, so the factory manager is a Bharat nationality American named,"

"You don't need to tell me his name," Chen Yiyang interrupted Liu Xiaoyue.

This factory was previously built with investments from the nationality NGO organization behind Isis, so Chen Yiyang could guess the background of the foreigners working here.

Thus, Chen Yiyang said to Liu Xiaoyue, "Inform HR tomorrow to fire all the foreigners in the factory, especially those of Bharat descent."

"This…" Liu Xiaoyue and the others stood in place, stunned.

This new boss takes over and wants to fire people right away?

"What's wrong, do we have foreigners in technical positions?" Chen Yiyang inquired.

"Our factory doesn't have foreigners in technical positions; all the positions are held by locals. However, among our management team, marketing department, and strategic department, more than half are foreigners."

"Perfect, let's fire them all then," hearing that there are no foreigners in technical positions, Chen Yiyang made his decision even more resolute.

Skilled workers are hard to find, but leaders in management aren't everywhere.

"It's late now, so I won't go in for a tour." Chen Yiyang said to Liu Xiaoyue, "Arrange a place for me to sleep tonight."

"It's already prepared for you." Liu Xiaoyue guided Chen Yiyang to a nearby high-end apartment.

"This apartment is the factory's property, mainly used for the previous boss's residence. But later, the previous boss didn't come often, and only entrusted Bharat people to manage the factory, so it became vacant.

When we heard you bought the factory, we had the workers refurbish it."

"Alright." After listening to Liu Xiaoyue's introduction, Chen Yiyang was quite satisfied with the place.

Three hundred square meters plus fine decoration.

It's a waste with just one person living there.

Yet the little accountant won't be coming to Shancheng for now.

Chen Yiyang still needs her to stay in West Capital to help deal with some matters.

Suddenly acquiring wealth, the lack of trustworthy personnel around Chen Yiyang has become apparent.

"Rest well for now, I'll come find you tomorrow morning," Liu Xiaoyue said.

"Wait a minute, let me check." Chen Yiyang glanced at his phone.

"It's Sunday tomorrow, I'm off. Let's talk when we start work on Monday. You guys should take a break too. Oh, let HR work overtime; he's in charge of firing people.

By the way, come pick me up tonight; that counts as overtime."

Just after speaking, Chen Yiyang let Liu Xiaoyue and the others leave.

When leaving, Liu Xiaoyue and her team had confused expressions.

They had never encountered such a boss before.

What kind of approach is this?

Rich second generation experiencing life?

It doesn't seem like a serious self-made business owner at all.

After sending Liu Xiaoyue and her team off, Chen Yiyang slept soundly.

The following morning, waking up, Chen Yiyang found a Shancheng noodle stall and ate a bowl.

Both numbing and spicy.

Chen Yiyang remembered when he was in school, the Shancheng noodles at the cafeteria were all fragrant and spicy.

Now suddenly tasting the numbing and spicy flavor of Shancheng noodles offered a unique experience.

After eating, Chen Yiyang called the person in charge of the Extreme Path Team.

After agreeing on a meeting time, Chen Yiyang took a taxi and headed to the esports club where the Extreme Path Team was located.

Along the way, Shancheng's taxi driver once again demonstrated to Chen Yiyang what skill is.

Taking shortcuts whenever possible, never opting for the main roads.

If stairs save time, never waste time going around.

Though there's no worry of being ripped off on taxi fares.

But the rear-end gets rattled painfully.

Upon arrival, Chen Yiyang called the other party on the phone.

"I'm here, where's your club building? All I see are flat surfaces from my side."

"Are you on the rooftop? Look to your left, there should be a protruding building. That's the elevator, just press it to the first floor."

Following the instructions given over the phone, Chen Yiyang found the elevator. Then he realized he was going down.

Below was another flat surface.

Chen Yiyang looked up and then looked down.

He suspected if he found another elevator to go down, it would still be the first floor.
