LoL: I really didn’t mess up!

November 22nd, ten o'clock in the morning.

In one step, the jet-lagged Chen Dongqing woke up. After getting up and washing up, he saw a bag of sauce-flavored pancakes on the table.

Chen Dongqing stood up and put the Jiangxiang pancake in the microwave to heat for two minutes. After finishing his breakfast, he quickly came to the computer and opened his mailbox while updating the game on the computer.

The news that Chen Dongqing signed a 1+1 contract last year is known to the world.

This year, Chen Dongqing can fully implement the player option and jump out of the contract at will.

This caused teams all over the world to invest in him. Today, his mobile phone was flooded with messages. There was an endless stream of email message reminders from all the teams, forcing Chen Dongqing to directly close the message push in his QQ mailbox.

Now is the time to take a look at the offers from the major teams.

You don't have to sign a contract, but you can intuitively feel your current worth from the quotes from major teams.

As soon as he saw the quotation, Chen Dongqing was really surprised.

too exaggerated.

As soon as I caught my eye, IG’s quotation came out. Principal Wang was very wealthy, and the price was a terrifying 22 million W, which directly refreshed the league’s historical record!

What is the league’s current annual salary history? Still Chen Dongqing, he signed a 1+1 contract with QG worth 10 million per year last year, raising the value of a professional player to eight figures for the first time.

But now, with the rapid increase in the commercial value of LPL, this price has doubled!

Moreover, this is not the highest.

Below, this year's new army JDG also sent an email.

The boss behind JDG is JD.com. They also saw that the LPL had canceled the promotion and relegation mechanism, so they planned to come in and get a piece of the pie, so they acquired GT and officially became a part of the LPL.

Backed by such a huge company, JDG is certainly not short of money. They directly offered a one-year contract of 28 million W, which is the highest amount among LPL teams!

Chen Dongqing couldn't help but smash his mouth.

If other people saw this terrifying number, it would be hard not to be moved.

But fortunately, Chen Dongqing is a reborn player and does not lack the means to make money. What he values ​​​​more is the strength of the team.

If it's JDG from S13, then he might actually go there, but for this one from S8, let's wait a little longer.

Chen Dongqing continued to scroll down, and as expected, he also found an offer from a foreign team.

The G2 team sent an offer. They are willing to sign Chen Dongqing for one year at a price of US$4.396 million!

Is this price serious?

Chen Dongqing calculated the exchange rate and found that the price would be about over 30 million yuan when converted into RMB.

Compared to the 10 million he signed last year, this has tripled

European and American guys are really rich.

Even in later generations, the alliance's highly commercialized S13 does not seem to have a price of 30 million a year!

In the world of later generations, someone once broke the news that the left hand was worth as much as 45 million, but it was actually a gambling contract. It had to reach a certain score to be full. If the score was earned, it would not even be half of this amount. Pure puffiness.

But Chen Dongqing’s contract is not a fat contract, it is a non-responsible 30 million, and he gets it unconditionally!

Is this the value of the first person in history, the second consecutive FMVP?

But Chen Dongqing looked at these quotes and was not too anxious.

He knew QG would give him a higher price.

QG is not short of money now. Chen Dongqing has been paying attention to QG's WeChat group recently and has some understanding of QG's recent situation.

Looks like the boss has changed?

At this moment, Chen Dongqing's phone finally rang.

QG’s quotation finally came, this time from Linko.

Linko is quite busy during this transfer period. As we all know, since QG won the second consecutive championship and LPL canceled the promotion and relegation system, major capitals finally have no worries and have entered the market one after another!

But what followed was all kinds of problems.

First point, since the commercial value of the alliance is so high now, the first thing to do is to kick out all the small capital, so as to make more money.

Therefore, league seat fees have skyrocketed, and current LPL teams must pay a deposit of 30 million.

In other words, if the major teams in the LPL want to keep their LPL team spots, they have to spend 30 million at the beginning.

And this is the deposit price for old teams. If it is a team that directly pays to enter after the league expands this year, the deposit will be even higher!

This extremely high threshold has led to the fact that in the current alliance, the only ones who can enter this year are Taobao Sports, JD.com, Bilibili, who are not short of money, and small business alliances like QG, which are not very good. living.

Moreover, the league is also preparing to implement a home court system this year. Of course, the leading LPL team like QG cannot fall behind, but building a home court is a huge expense, and it all requires money.

Even though QG has always been wealthy in the past, this year, they have to hesitate. Their money capacity can no longer cope with this level of expenditure.

The original intention of QG's boss was that they didn't want to sell the team directly and leave. They wanted to rely on sponsorship + selling club shares to ensure their dominance and exchange for working capital.

Re-sponsoring and finding a partner to take over the equity are all things Linko needs to be busy with before the transfer period.

QG is now the most famous e-sports club, and they have no shortage of sponsorships. Chen Dongqing has been watching the WeChat group in the past few days, and there are various reports from Linko every day. Various sponsorships are pouring in, and he can’t wait to buy QG’s white team uniforms. Fully occupied!

Of course, these are small tips and cannot solve the urgent needs.

But soon, the big one came.

Led by several investment companies, QG received investment from Nets owner and Alibaba co-founder Joe Tsai.

Boss Cai's team valued the QG Club. Their overall price for the QG Club was US$58 million. However, after Chen Dongqing won the championship in Anaheim as a StarCraft player a few days ago, this The price subsequently rose to 60 million.

Boss Cai finally decided to spend 30.6 million US dollars, equivalent to 214.2 million yuan, in exchange for 51% of QG's shares and become the largest shareholder.

QG's boss originally didn't want to hand over the initiative, but in the end he chose to compromise - there was no way, he gave too much.

Just yesterday, the contract was officially signed, and this club already had the surname Cai yesterday.

Of course, Boss Cai’s personal investment this time was purely for fun and he took a fancy to QG’s investment return potential. He didn’t need QG’s traffic at all, so QG still operated independently.

QG is still QG.

If he wants to change his name, he will most likely change it to Alibaba or something like that. This is a sign of being in favor of Tencent, and Tengjing will definitely not agree to it.

This is actually just a small amount of money. Just in the middle of this year, Tsai Chongxin just bought 100% control of the Brooklyn Nets for 2.35 billion US dollars. This is a real big expenditure. 200 million yuan is nothing to others.

Of course, this is a lot of money for QG.

Although more than 200 million yuan is calculated as the overall price of the club, in fact, only about half of the funds that can be allocated to the LOL division are still sponsored by the QGLOL division!

Including sponsorship fees, this year's LOL division can be said to be rich and wealthy, highlighting the "I'm rich".

Anyway, Linko gave Chen Dongqing reassurance yesterday, asking him to ignore the contracts of other teams. QG would definitely give him the most.

Money means speaking hard!

Chen Dongqing picked up the phone and saw what Linko said.

But unexpectedly, the call from Linko brought bad news.

"Chen Dongqing, something happened!" Linko said anxiously: "Wei Zhen doesn't want to renew his contract!"

"What? What did he say?" Chen Dongqing was shocked. Is there still a problem that cannot be solved by money?

"He said he was tired and wanted to retire," Linko replied.

"Retirement? Seriously?" Chen Dongqing was a little surprised now, "Isn't this nonsense?"

"I don't understand what he thinks either. Why don't you go and have a chat with him."

"Okay. Let me ask." Chen Dongqing hung up the phone and called Gao Dewei.

"Hello." Godway's voice sounded.

"Brother, what's going on?" Chen Dongqing asked: "How can anyone retire directly after winning the championship? No more money?"

"What are you doing to make money? I'm not short of money." Godway smiled and said, "The money I've made in the past few years is enough for me to last a lifetime."

Although he has not waited for the era of huge salary increases, and has been squeezed and deducted, Godway has been at the top of the LPL for so many years and has indeed made enough money.

Including the subsequent skin income, Godway has at least 30 million working capital in his hands, which can indeed be called freedom of wealth.

Chen Dongqing asked again: "Then what are you going to do next? Do you have a plan?"

"Yes." Godway said, "I watched your game in StarCraft the day before yesterday, and I really want to change the game to play."

"." Chen Dongqing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this matter was related to him. "You mean, do you want to play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?"

"Yes, LOL is too tiring for me. I want to change games to relax."

"Have you thought about it? If you go, there will be no chance of coming back."

Godway did not hesitate: "Well, I have already decided. I plan to start a team by myself. The chicken-fighting team is not as exaggerated as the LPL. I can afford it by myself."

"Then, okay." Chen Dongqing knew that the other party had made up his mind, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore, "Then I wish you can win the championship in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

"No problem." Godway said with a smile: "If you want to come to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to play, just come to me and I will give you a chance to play."

"That's good." Chen Dongqing also laughed when he heard it, exchanged greetings with his old friend for a few more words, and finally hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dongqing sighed secretly.

He also thought that Godway would take a different path from his previous life after winning the championship.

In the end, he still ran to the Jedi side.

However, this is okay.

At least Godway left after winning the LOL championship this time. No one would say that he was a deserter, and with his talent, winning another championship with the Jedi would be considered a good deal.

At that time, many people will say: As expected of QG.

But having said that, after Godway leaves, who to choose as the mid laner is a problem.

Chen Dongqing screened the candidates for the mid laner in his mind, and then shook his head.

It's better to let Linko do some shopping. He doesn't know whose contract has expired.

But what is certain is that there are actually many choices this year.

If he remembers correctly, toothpaste and left hand seem to have only entered the LPL this year?

Then, in LSPL, isn’t there a little tiger? This is a big treasure.

Chen Dongqing dialed Linko's number again.

Linko got straight to the point: "How do you say it?"

Chen Dongqing sighed: "He is very determined and is determined to retire."

"Okay, I'll take a look at the mid laner thing, but don't worry, the mid laner we can find is definitely top-notch." Linko also sighed, and then said: "Okay, let's talk. Let’s talk about you, have other clubs given you offers?”

"Yes." Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "It's quite high."

"Very high?" Linko raised an eyebrow, "How high?"

"JD.com opened for 2,800, and G2 opened for 3,000."

As soon as these words came out, there was a temporary silence on the other side of the phone.

In one year, from 10 million to 30 million?

You have money and nothing to do with it, right?

Linko thought for a while and said, "Then what do you think?"

Chen Dongqing crossed his arms and said with a smile: "Didn't you say QG is rich? I have to see what you say. You know, what I value more is the overall strength of the team. As long as the strength is enough, it doesn't matter if I cut my salary. ."

There is a motivation theory in psychology called Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which divides human needs into a five-level model in a pyramid structure. From bottom to top they are: physiological needs (food and clothing), safety needs (job security), and social needs. needs (friendship), esteem needs and self-actualization needs.

Chen Dongqing is a reborn person and is not short of money, and he has no problem with the first four levels of defective needs. What he needs to pursue now is the final growth need-self-realization, that is, the championship.

Godwei, however, does not have as ambitious a goal as Chen Dongqing. After winning the championship, he believed that he had achieved self-realization, so he had shifted his self-realization goal to something new.

"That's not what you said." Linko shook his head, "You are the league's signature and the first person in history. Your salary level intuitively reflects the development level of the entire LOL e-sports industry. Therefore, we must give you a A higher salary than any other team.”

It may be a bit exaggerated to say it. Chen Dongqing's salary level can directly demonstrate the development level of the LOL e-sports industry, and various capitals will also combine this number to make decisions.

Therefore, Chen Dongqing’s high contract fee is good for the industry.

When Chen Dongqing heard this, he couldn't help but be happy.

If you insist on giving me money, then of course I will lose my appetite.

Chen Dongqing said happily: "Come on, tell me your offer."

Linko was the first to speak: "First of all, I have already taken care of the remaining QG players. Except for the mid laner, the other three have clear intentions to renew their contracts and have entered the final negotiation stage. The overall retention of the lineup is not good. Problem, you don’t have to worry about that.”

"As for your contract, we have actually prepared many levels, but seeing this situation, we can only go to the highest level. This time it is still a 1+1 contract, and the contract fee is 30 million before tax, and then There is also a signing fee of five million, which you can get directly by signing your name, no problem, right?"

This contract is converted into 35 million a year, which is even more than what G2 gave. It is indeed a sincerity.

Chen Dongqing nodded, "I have no problem."

"That's okay." Linko nodded, and then smiled: "Then, let's talk about another contract?"

Chen Dongqing smiled and said again: "Say your quotation."

Chen Dongqing is more than just a LOL player.

He also won the championship in his secondary project, StarCraft 2.

Tsai Chongxin's team even increased the overall valuation of the QG club by two million US dollars because of their victory in StarCraft II.

This was earned by Chen Dongqing on his own.

Therefore, even if Chen Dongqing has made it clear that he will not continue to participate in the StarCraft competition next year, the club still has to give Chen Dongqing some dividends.

"Five million a year, this is the price the club has given you for the Star Division." Linko said, "Is this price sincere enough? The two contracts add up to exactly 40 million."

Chen Dongqing's 17-year StarCraft contract was one million a year, which increased fivefold after winning the championship. In terms of the popularity of the StarCraft game, this five million is obviously a number that the StarCraft League can never surpass.

"No problem!" Chen Dongqing agreed and said with a smile: "I hope we can win more championships in 2018."

After the general discussion on the phone, Linko went to the legal department to draft a contract.

Chen Dongqing, on the other hand, enjoyed his vacation and went out for an afternoon with his girlfriend.

The next day, Chen Dongqing ran to the club and, under the notarization of a lawyer, wrote his name over and over again on the two contracts.

Soon, two contracts were successfully signed!

Linko picked up the contract, shook it slightly, and said with a smile: "This is a lot of money, Chen Dongqing. I hope you will not disappoint the club's expectations of you."

"Don't worry." Chen Dongqing said with a smile: "Our club will definitely become bigger and stronger!"
