At almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhong Yu suddenly received a call from Shuo Jin.
On the phone, Shuo Jin excitedly told Zhong Yu that Xu Lili had returned his first payment of more than 8 million yuan, and that all subsequent money and houses would be recovered in a day or two.
"Captain, thank you!" Shuo Jin was so excited that he could not speak coherently, "I, I don't know what to say..."
Zhong Yu was sincerely happy for Shuo Jin: "Haha, you're welcome."
In the evening, Zhong Yu accompanied Su Qingyu to the charity auction.
This charity auction is a high-end, small-scale auction, and the people invited are all the upper-class people in Shanghai.
Before the auction officially begins, there is a cocktail party to meet the social needs of the attendees.
This kind of charity auction belongs to Vanity Fair, and it is not just for charity, or doing charity through fame and fortune, etc.
Zhong Yu and Su Qingyu arrived together and immediately attracted a lot of attention and became the focus of the venue.
There is no way, one is the most beautiful woman in the magic city, and the other is super handsome, so dazzling.
As a tool, Zhong Yu kept the corners of his mouth raised, kept a good smile, and accompanied Su Qingyu to maintain and make connections.
Different from the first time when he accompanied Su Qingyu to a cocktail party as a tagger, this time in addition to talking to Su Qingyu, people also paid attention to Zhong Yu and exchanged a word or two.
That thousand-year-old bronze tripod has now spread throughout the country’s antique circles.
After the birthday party, Mr. Su specially invited four or five authoritative experts from all over the country and even the world to re-evaluate it to make things right.
The re-identification results are consistent with Dai Xian's identification. It is indeed a bronze tripod from the Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago. It and the national treasure cloud pattern copper ban prove the earliest appearance of the lost wax process in our country.
However, the valuations are inconsistent. The lowest valuation of the thousand-year-old bronze tripod is not 50 million, but 150 million!
As for Mr. Su himself, he regarded the thousand-year-old ancient bronze tripod as a treasure and put it in the ancestral hall to protect the family's luck.
As the discoverer of the thousand-year-old ancient bronze tripod, Zhong Yu’s name has also spread in the antique circles across the country.
Therefore, Zhong Yu is now somewhat famous in the upper circles of Shanghai, and he is not exactly Su Qingyu's husband.
The auction went smoothly and was a complete success, and nothing happened to Zhong Yu.
The only incident was that he also wanted to do some charity, so he participated in the bidding of an antique. Unexpectedly, it attracted seven or eight people to rush for it.
Something that was originally worth over 100,000 yuan was suddenly raised to 600,000 yuan!
"There are so many rich people, and even more philanthropic people." Zhong Yu sighed in a low voice, "Poor people like me are not even qualified to do charity."
He gave up bidding at 200,000.
Su Qingyu, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him and warned: "Don't participate in the bidding casually, so as not to offend others. You are now a celebrity picker."
The thought of missing out on more than 150 million yuan from one hundred thousand yuan makes people jealous.
"What do they have to do with me if they are playing tricks on me?" Zhong Yu said innocently.
After a pause, he smiled and said, "But hey, I am doing charity tonight."
If something worth 100,000 yuan is sold for 600,000 yuan, the charity fund will be equivalent to an increase of 500,000 yuan. Although he did not contribute the capital, at least half of the credit is due to him.
Zhong Yu didn't buy anything at the auction, but Su Qingyu bought a piece of top-quality mutton-fat jade, deliberately paying a premium of about 50% and spending one million.
The next day, Sunday.
In the afternoon, Zhong Yu, Tang Hongling, Bingfeng, Shuojin and Feixing met to discuss funding for the team.
After an hour of discussion, Zhong Yu invested 55.16 million, accounting for 51% of the total investment, and became the absolute controlling shareholder.
Tang Hongling invested 25 million, Feng Feng invested 20 million, Shuo Jin invested 5 million, and Feixing invested 3 million.
In addition, they also discussed the annual salary.
Zhong Yu’s annual salary is 15 million, Tang Hongling’s annual salary is 25 million, Bing Feng’s annual salary is 10 million, Shuojin’s substitute and assistant coach’s annual salary is 2 million, and Feixing’s annual salary is 2 million.
Yes, Tang Hongling has the highest annual salary, which is 10 million more than Zhong Yu.
As the most commercially valuable e-sports player, Tang Hongling's greatest value is no longer her e-sports skills, but her high popularity that rivals that of popular first-line female stars.
The team has not fully signed Tang Hongling. Tang Hongling can still freely accept advertising endorsements, otherwise the annual salary must be 100 million.
At the same time, it was agreed that due to limited funds, the monthly salary payment per person would not exceed 300,000 in the first year, and the arrears of salary would be replenished after one and a half years.
After completing this, Zhong Yu asked Tang Hongling about recruiting other players through her connections.
Tang Hongling frowned slightly and said: "There are three good friends who are willing to join, but the treatment they require is a bit high, and they will not join until our team has qualified for the finals."
The "Honor of Kings" Professional League (KPL) is not something you can just participate in. You must go through a series of competitions to qualify.
A brand new team must first pass the city competition selection, and then win any of the four major competition areas: KOC City Competition (Glory of Kings City League), QGC Division (Summer League), TGA Division (Grand Prix) and WGC Division (Elite Competition). The champion and runner-up of a division can then participate in the qualifying rounds (KPL qualifiers).
The teams in the qualifying round come from the champions and runners-up selected from the secondary leagues (KOC, QGC, TGA and WGC), and the 7th team in the KPL regular season points ranking in Group AB.
If the top four teams participate in the qualifying round, and the team retains 50% of the players in the final lineup when advancing, the competition team will recognize this team's qualifications to participate in the King's Professional League (KPL)
As for the qualifications for the Honor of Kings World Champion Cup, they are the KPL Spring Split Champion and Runner-Up, the KPL Winter Split Champion and Runner-Up, and the KPL Division Selection Qualifiers.
"This is human nature. You continue to keep in touch with them." Zhong Yu nodded, "We must recruit at least two rookie players first."
Having said this, he paused, glanced at everyone present, and continued: "I recommend these two rookie players. They are Xuanfeng (Lv Jianye) and Mulin (Zhang Sen) of the team that just won the National College Cup championship not long ago. )."
Zhang Sen and Lu Jianye plan to make money by doing live broadcasts of Honor of Kings during the summer vacation. The idea is good, but they may not make much money.
Therefore, he decided to help Zhang Sen and Lu Jianye.
Bingfeng, Shuojin and Feixing had recently watched the National College Cup finals in which Zhong Yu participated, and they were all deeply impressed by Lu Jianye and Zhang Sen.
"Cyclone and Mulin, great!" Feixing was the first to agree.
From a coach's perspective, he believes that these two players are good and have considerable potential.
Tang Hongling, Bingfeng and Shuojin all agreed.
Zhong Yu said with a smile: "They are newbies and temporary workers, so just thirty thousand per person per month."
For a college student, earning 60,000 yuan in two months during the summer vacation is very impressive.
Tang Hongling, Bingfeng and others had no objections.
"The matter is basically finalized. The company registration will begin next Monday, and then the company will pay your liquidated damages." Zhong Yu finally said, "The King of Glory City Competition will start soon, we must hurry up!"
After the matter was settled, Zhong Yu and others went to dinner together.
After the meal, everyone left.
However, Tang Hongling held one of Zhong Yu's arms and coquettishly asked Zhong Yu to go shopping with her.
Zhong Yu could only agree with a wry smile.
