…
In a spacious office,
There were five men and one woman sitting in the round table-shaped seat in the middle.
They are also the core members of the NB club.
The club leader Yuzhe, the team’s head coach Chris, the team operations manager Tao, the business manager... the marketing manager...
And, NB’s young boss Tong Xin,
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.
After all, his team incredibly won the world championship, and the subsequent benefits brought by it are very considerable.
Tong Xin, who was also smiling, was happy, but at the same time there was a trace of distress between his brows.
He tapped the table with his fingers, straightened his back slightly while leaning on the chair, and said seriously: "Managers, it's time to discuss the players' contract renewal for next season."
He said "people", which means that there is more than one person who wants to renew the contract.
Whether it's Su Xiangsong, a newcomer, or Wushu and Koro1 who were transferred, their contracts are only signed for one year.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
The fat man with attractive ears took the initiative to speak. As the manager of the publicity department, he still understood the current trends of the league.
After winning the S7 Bird's Nest,
League of Legends has officially ushered in a spurt of development and has truly entered a golden age.
Just like the most famous SN and JD, the two e-commerce platforms began to invest frantically in search of star players in the market.
According to the news, the amount has doubled compared to last year. I just hope to achieve good results in the new season and open up the market for young people.
"As far as I know, the net worth of Uzi and the factory director has soared to 15 million a year, and in order to retain the factory director, EDG reportedly used shares to lock it up. Our current capital reserves, Maybe I can only sign: it’s just the top and middle people.”
The slightly fat man said with a wry smile: "If we sign the contract for long enough, we can still take advantage of it, but now big capital is pouring in and wages are soaring. If we want to keep the team members, we have to work hard." .”
"Fifteen million?"
Tong Xin's eyebrows furrowed deeper.
The NB team was just something he bought casually to play with. It was just luck to reach the LPL, let alone win the world championship.
As the second generation of rich people, the family naturally has money, but they also have to start their own business independently.
The five million he took out were all his private money. If there was more, companies in other industries would not be able to turn around.
"Xiao Tao, how much do you think is enough?"
Putting the pen on the table, Tong Xin couldn't help but ask.
"First of all, Cool must renew his contract. As an FMVP player, his current value is the highest."
Xiao Tao checked in his notebook again, turned to a page with records, and said seriously: "I have communicated with his agent. Ten million a year, no matter the price."
"His agent reported that SN and JD even offered him a price of one thousand two thousand, but the atmosphere within the B team was that they were willing to take less, and they chose to retire after just 18 years of playing."
"Retired?"
The man with a striking ear clapped his hands and said in surprise, "This is a point of announcement. As a veteran of FMVP, the last dance should help the club gain a lot of attention next season."
"Okay, ten million is ten million."
Tong Xin was also moved by the words.
In the last year of FMVP, good operations can indeed extract good profits.
"Secondly, Koro1's agent quoted eight million, mainly to stay in the team."
Manager Tao added, "Boss, I think renewing the contract is not a loss. Tong Yang's fan base, especially the number of female fans, is famous throughout the league."
"Next season, female fans will definitely be the main consumers of our customized team uniforms, peripherals, support pillows, etc."
"It only increased by half a million, not bad, let's continue."
Tong Xin leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face and nodded in agreement without thinking.
"As for Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, they also want to stay in the team, and each other's talents are also good."
Manager Tao smiled like an aunt, "They made an agreement and planned to stay on the team together. The price is reasonable. They both chose three million a year, and they are also willing to renew the long-term contract for three years."
"As newcomers in 1999, they have great potential, and their overall performance is remarkable. They will not lose money if they renew their contracts. If they are put on the trading market, they will probably be rushed for them."
Seeing Tong Xin's hesitation, Yuzhe helped persuade him.
"Since Supervisor Yuzhe has spoken, I have no reason to disagree, so let's renew the contract!"
Tong Xin stood up with a smile, moved his stiff limbs, and said casually: "If there's nothing else, let's break up the meeting."
"Uh...Boss, we still haven't discussed Su Chen's contract."
"Su Chen's contract?"
Looking at Manager Tao, Tong Xin asked suspiciously: "Didn't he come out of Greedy Sa with Lin Weixiang? The prices are different?"
"Boss, this is naturally different."
Yuzhe stood up quickly and boasted: "Su Chen is
The children are top-notch in terms of strength and talent, and they are the real main force for our team to win the championship.
The commercial value is first-rate in the entire league, and we cannot let this kid go to other teams. "
"Strength... seems to be pretty good indeed."
Tong Xin thought of the three games he went to the Bird's Nest to watch.
Overall,
The first one with no status is eye-catching, the second one with Lin Weixiang's big mouth is handsome enough, and the third one with Juggernaut is not bad either.
According to his bronze-level vision, the Sword Master's performance was obviously inseparable from the protection of the two assistants.
There is even a feeling that it is okay for him to have sex with him.
but,
Seeing everyone in the conference room saying this, he had no objection.
"Okay, then it's four million a year. If you want, you can extend the contract for another three years."
After Tong Xin finished speaking, he found that Yuzhe and others did not answer for a long time. Instead, they looked at each other strangely, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"What do you mean, it's not enough?"
Tong Xin's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Boss, it is indeed...a little...less."
The fat manager from the publicity department rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly to hide his speechlessness.
I really don’t know if this group of second-generation rich people with money and no brains are good or bad when they come to the e-sports industry.
4 million a year, and I want to continue for three years. Brother, why don’t you renew Uzi!
From the perspective of people in their industry,
Su Chen's commercial value, not to mention maintaining the state of last season, as long as he can maintain a first-class level without declining too much, is terrifyingly high.
Just for this face, is it too much to be worth ten million?
Not too much at all!
Not to mention that he will only be 18 years old next season. According to the golden period of the e-sports circle, he will have at least 3 to 4 years of peak period.
It is no exaggeration to say,
Everyone in the industry with a little discernment knows Su Chen's commercial value. Although he has only debuted for a year, he is already ranked third in the league, second only to "Factory Director" and "Puppy".
If he can win another championship, based on his domestic size, his commercial value will not be a problem if he directly surpasses Faker.
"What's the difference?"
Tong Xin asked impatiently.
"Su Chen's agent said: Not much, just..."
Manager Tao raised a finger.
"Ten million?!
"
Tong Xin's eyes widened and he slammed his hands on the table, "Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong from his team only dared to ask for 3 million. How dare this kid think of asking for 10 million?"
"Boss...he's followed by..."
Manager Tao timidly made another "2" sign.
"Peng~"
The table whined again.
This time,
Tong Xin laughed angrily, "You have to come to me to beg for food?"
"Koro1, I remember that as a veteran star player with no shortage of powerful fans, he only dared to ask for 8 million. Cool, who won the FMVP, also took the initiative to lower his price to 10 million. How dare he, a newcomer, ask me for 12 million?"
"Tell him, up to five million, or get out if he doesn't renew the contract!"
After that, before anyone could panic and try to persuade him to stay, Tong Xin angrily opened the door and left alone.
After a while of silence,
"Oh, boss, you don't pay too much attention to e-sports, right?"
"Isn't that right? Su Chen's business value is there. If he is willing to renew the long-term contract, the two major e-commerce companies will probably be willing to sign it with the maximum salary!"
"Five million a year. In the past, even last year, it was no problem to sign Mala Xiangguo or Xiaohu. But in the current environment, it is probably too difficult to sign an ordinary star player. The boss is really..."
"What should we do? We won't really let Su Chen go, right?"
Everyone is better than short sighs,
"Let's do it this way. When the boss's anger subsides, I'll go talk to him and highlight the importance of Su Chen.
Next, the salary can definitely be raised a little more. "
Yuzhe really wanted the club to get better, he was counting on it for the rest of his life.
As a former professional player, he clearly knows who is the real core of the team.
Koro1 will be 26 next year, and his status is almost the same. Don’t even think about expecting the two of them to be the main force of the team!
The value of the two of them is obviously that their reputation is greater than their strength.
Although Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang are good in strength, they are still too young overall. Compared with the veteran bottom lane, there is still a clear gap.
so…
Suchen must stay!
Yuzhe chose to take a two-pronged approach, then turned to look at Chris who was fishing, and said earnestly: "Coach Chris, please help me. Although the club won the championship, the funds have not been realized for the time being. Can you persuade Su Chen to lower his salary a little?" A little request.
If it doesn't work, just ask Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, they have the best relationship with Su Chen, and ask them to help.
After all, you don’t want Su Chen to leave, right? "
Hearing this,
Chris' face froze.
When I think about my BP, I rely on Su Chen for help in many situations.
If he really leaves, I'm afraid that next season my "championship coach" will have to add the four words "the best in history".
"I'll try it."
In desperation, Chris could only agree.
…
——At the award ceremony,
"Coach, what do you mean, let's persuade Chenchen to pay less?"
Liu Qingsong narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
"Coach, this is also for the sake of the team."
Chris gritted his teeth and said, "If Su Chen really leaves, will you be willing to do it?
In addition, whether it is Koro or out of shape, including the salary cuts you have chosen to varying degrees, it is all so that we can play together for another year. In this case, you can also help persuade Su Chen. "
Chris also released a bombshell, "Koro1 and Wu State also told me privately that they will be ready to retire after playing next year. If nothing else, it is not too much to play with their good buddies for another year, right? "
"It seems...certainly..."
Lin Weixiang's eyebrows trembled back and forth. He was a little moved and was about to agree, but suddenly his toes hurt.
"Coach, do you know how much Chenchen plans to spend per year?"
Liu Qingsong asked with a smile.
"It's... not convenient to disclose it. His agent has a unilateral request."
Chris shook his head.
"Okay, Lin Weixiang and I will go to the bathroom and help you discuss it."
Not wanting to see Chris's anus face, Liu Qingsong dragged Lin Weixiang and left directly.
The two came to a deserted corner and stopped.
"Liu Qingsong, what are you doing?"
Adjusting his wrinkled suit, Lin Weixiang said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you want Chenchen to stay and fight with us for another year?"
"Whether you want to fight or not is Chenchen's wish. As friends, what qualifications do we have to ask him to reduce his salary?"
Liu Qingsong, who comes from a poor family, knows the importance of money. "Professional players only have a few years of youth. It's good to earn a little more. You can't retire and just go back to delivering food, right?"
"not to mention…"
Liu Qingsong sighed, "I didn't get the FMVP, and Chenchen doesn't seem angry on the surface, can you really think that he doesn't feel anything at all in his heart?"
Hearing this,
Lin Weixiang was silent.
Yes, if he worked hard to help the team win the championship and was also the undisputed winner of FMVP, but he missed it by some strange combination of circumstances, he would feel really bad.
No wonder,
A few days after winning the championship, Su Chen told him that he wanted to go on a relaxing trip with his family, probably just to avoid the embarrassment of meeting Brother Tai.
"Then...what should we do?
"
Lin Weixiang said distressedly: "I really don't want Chenchen to leave. The three of us have made an agreement to go on together and conquer the world..."
It seems...it has been hit
Lin Weixiang choked.
"Okay, let's just tell the truth and repeat what the coach told us. All the choices are up to Chenchen."
Liu Qingsong took a deep breath and took out his mobile phone, "Respect his own thoughts."
"..."
