Chapter 178 [Five million signing fee! The most special contract in LPL history! 】
One month after the end of the s7 finals.
lpl officially opened the winter transfer period.
This is also the period when LPL fans are most concerned about the dynamics of major clubs.
After all, the s7 Bird's Nest Finals is actually a meeting between two lck teams. For Chinese e-sports enthusiasts, this is a great match.
This is undoubtedly a shame!
The S-League has been held for the seventh year. The LPL has the largest number of players in the world, but it has never won a championship trophy.
The fans' patience has long been exhausted, and they are urging their clubs to sign in and strengthen!
The transfer period in December is as everyone expected, with one or two breaking news breaking out from time to time.
The lol topic section of Weibo has also specially opened up topics related to #lpl Winter Transfer Period#.
Among them, the news that attracts the most attention is naturally the news about the wealthy clubs such as rng, edg, we, and ig.
With the arrival of January, the transfer period has finally settled.
rng: Retained the original team of s7, and at the same time strengthened the jungle position, introducing the champion team of the LMS division, the jungler of FW (Flash Wolves), karsa.
ig: Introduced Jin Jingzhu, a famous coach in the LCK division, and renewed the contracts of top laner Duke and auxiliary player Bao Lan, and promoted the second team AD player jakceylove to the first team's starting lineup.
we: Completed a deal with lspl team vg, absorbing top laner Jin Gong, and also introduced lck division coach Cai Yuzhe.
edg: Introduced the s7 runner-up team, skt top laner huni, and jungler player peaut!
At the same time, edg mid laner scout has recently applied to obtain local player status, so edg has not violated the lpl's rule that it can only have a maximum of two players from outside the region.
Comment area:
[This year’s transfer period is okay! The era of the three imperial families is over, and the four emperors of lpl have ascended the throne! Suddenly I can’t wait to watch the spring game! 】
[edg This is too crazy! In fact, it is equivalent to three cold aids! The boss Ed Zhu is really desperate! Is he aiming for the S8 championship? 】
[To be honest! The three-member lineup of EDG is just one word, outrageous! What’s the point of winning the LPL division if it’s not an all-China class? Can you learn from RNG? 】
[Indeed, s7 is actually a little bit unlucky. This year rng retains the original team and adds Casa. I feel that I can still win the championship! rng is going for it! 】
[Haha, edg is crazy! Just watch how little peanut and huni mess up edg... Ten years of chickens have risen! S7 is just waiting for Ah Shui, and ig will take off next year! 】
[How did we trade for an lspl player? Who is Jin Gong? Can anyone who knows introduce it? 】
…
In addition to the fact that the transfer information of the four major clubs has caused widespread discussion.
There is also some information about the second and third tier teams.
For example, the genius AD Sima Laothief of the OMG team joined the RW team with the single poison coin of QG, and the luxurious double C helped RW take off directly.
The Optimistic Family LGD team reached an agreement with the VG team, introduced the team's mid laner Easyhoon, and renewed the contract of AD player Imp.
And so on.
But until the end of the transfer period, a mystery that lingers in the hearts of LPL fans still has not been answered.
That is, after leading ym to the lpl and returning to free agent status, Jiang Keda will renew his contract with ym or join another team?
During the turbulent winter transfer period, LPL star players have all posted on Weibo to gain attention for themselves.
Only the official account of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology @jkd does not know Qinggangying, and there is no movement at all.
Fans were also worried and left messages and comments in the Weibo comment area and live broadcast room all day long.
There are also many people in the circle who are analyzing the intentions of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
Some people believe that although Jiang Keda led YM to the LPL, the championship was basically won by Jiang Keda alone.
YM's owner, PDD, has limited funds and cannot spend large sums of money to form a Galaxy Battleship like other LPL clubs.
After the New Year, Jiang Keda will be 22 years old. A player of his age should look for a team with a better lineup to strive for more honors in his career.
There are even many fans of the team who have spoken out publicly.
[Jiang Keda, come to rw! We have the old thief Sima in the bottom lane, and there are poisonous coins in the middle lane. You are the Galaxy Battleship!]
[I heard that Wei Shen is already helping LGD lobby Jiangsu University of Science and Technology! The optimistic family is waiting for you, Jiang Shen!]
However, until the Demacia Cup started.
Jiangsu University of Science and Technology still has not officially announced its final destination.
Not even a single Weibo post was posted. Some people suspected that it was not the PDD who had locked up Jiangsu University of Science and Technology and would not release it without signing.
…
A black business car stopped at the door of a two-story bungalow.
Su Chen got out of the car, took out his luggage, walked to the door in a few steps, and pressed the doorbell.
After a few "ding dongs", the door opened.
A tough-headed young man stuck out his head and saw Su Chen in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Brother! You are back!" My younger brother Su Yuan said happily.
After saying that, he took a look at Su Chen's suitcase.
"Did you come back with your laptop?"
"Screw you, help me get my luggage!" Su Chen patted Su Yuan on the head and walked into the house.
In the living room, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron was picking vegetable leaves.
On the small bench next to her, a girl with braids was sitting, holding half-picked cauliflower in her little hands. She was so sleepy that her head was fishing, and a few drops of crystal liquid dripped from the corners of her mouth.
"Mom! Brother is back!" Su Yuan, who was carrying his luggage, shouted happily.
When Su's mother heard this, she quickly turned her head and was surprised and happy when she saw Su Chen.
"You kid, didn't you say you'd only arrive at noon? I haven't prepared this dish yet...you must be starving."
Su Ma wiped her hands on her apron, came to Su Chen, raised her head and looked at him, her eyes a little distressed.
"I've lost weight..."
Su Chen felt warm in her heart and said with a smile on her face: "Mom, let me help you pick vegetables."
Su Xiaoduo, who was sitting on the bench, also woke up with a start at this moment, rubbing her eyes drowsily. When she saw Su Chen, her little face immediately broke into a smile and she stretched out her two little arms.
"Brother! Hug!"
Su Chen picked up Su Xiaoduo with a smile, wiped the scratches from the corners of her mouth, and after coaxing her for a while, she spoke.
"Where's dad?"
Su's mother sighed: "Your father twisted his waist early this morning and is lying in the room right now."
"What happened? Didn't I tell you that you don't have to work anymore? Is the family still short of money now?" Su Chen said helplessly.
"Brother, it's not like you don't know my dad's temper. He said you were doing e-sports because you were eating too much and not finishing your meal. You won't use any of your money." Su Yuan said next to him.
"I want you to talk too much!" Su's mother rolled her eyes at Su Yuan.
Su Chen sighed and put down Su Xiaoduo.
"I'm going to see dad."
Standing at the door of the room on the second floor.
Su Chen's mood was a bit complicated.
In my memory, Su's father has always been a rigid and stubborn person.
Because both myself and Su’s mother are uneducated, we have suffered a lot.
Therefore, no matter how hard life was, it never delayed the studies of the three children of the Su family.
In fact, in my hometown, many of my peers from Su Chen's family background went to work in big cities after finishing junior high school.
When Su Chen was admitted to Jiangzhou University of Science and Technology, Su's father, who was always frugal, just set up several tables, invited all the teachers and leaders of the school over, toasted them one by one, and got drunk.
In Su's father's traditional concept, studying is the only way out.
Therefore, Su Chen chose to drop out of school and embark on the path of e-sports, which was difficult for Su's father to accept.
In his opinion, what kind of bullshit competition is just playing games?
Is this thing comparable to a degree from a 985 university?
"We have to face it eventually." Su Chen mustered up the courage and knocked on the door.
After the people in the room responded, Su Chen opened the door.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses and pajamas was half lying on the bed, wearing reading glasses and reading a tome.
"Dad." Su Chen called.
Su's father raised his head, and when he saw Su Chen coming in, he looked happy at first, then straightened his face and said coldly.
"You still have the nerve to come back? The counselor at your school told me that you took a one-year suspension of study! You are just playing with things and losing your mind!"
After saying that, Su's father scolded Su Chen bitterly. When he was emotional, he coughed several times, and finally collapsed on the bed, looking like he was terminally ill.
"Dad, are you okay?" Su Chen asked cautiously.
"Go and tell your school counselor right now that suspending school is a joke, otherwise you will make your father and I angry to death..." Su's father said weakly.
Just as Su Chen was about to speak, her phone suddenly vibrated.
An unfamiliar number was displayed on the screen.
Su Chen frowned, walked to a corner of the room, and answered the phone.
"Hello, is this Xiao Su?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I am Su Chen, who are you?" Su Chen turned around and glanced. Su's father was still lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
"I'm Pei Qian, hasn't my old prostitute ever mentioned me to you?" Mr. Pei said with a smile.
"Ah! Are you Mr. Pei?" Su Chen reacted immediately.
The biggest investor in ym’s club, Mr. Pei!
"Why did you call me?" Su Chen asked.
"It's like this. This month, my old prostitute and I have been studying for a long time. There are no problems with the terms of the contract we drafted before. The main thing is that the old prostitute and I have different opinions on the salary and benefits."
"His idea is to give you a signing fee of two million per year, plus a non-liability base salary of fifty thousand per month, as well as several performance bonuses."
"But I don't agree."
Su Chen understood it as soon as he heard it.
It's probably because the signing fee pdd paid him was too high, and Pei Gan didn't agree.
The income of LPL players usually consists of signing fees, wages, bonuses, and live broadcast/commercial endorsement contracts.
Among them, the signing fee accounts for the majority.
In recent years, e-sports has become increasingly popular, and player signing fees have also risen.
In this [parallel world].
When Uzi joined RNG in 2016, the signing fee was four million, which had already set a new LPL record at the time.
However, that is Uzi after all, a top LPL player on the same level as the factory director.
Su Chen sighed inwardly.
After all, he still doesn't have enough resume.
In fact, as long as ym's price was not too low, Su Chen would not hesitate.
After all, his income from live broadcasting is in the millions a year.
It's not very bad money.
What he values more is the teammates he will fight with next year.
With Xiaotian and Zuoyi here, plus coach Meng Ma who absolutely trusts him.
Su Chen believes that next year's ym will definitely not be just a flash in the pan.
"Mr. Pei, actually..." Su Chen just wanted to say that the signing fee can be negotiated.
But he was interrupted by Mr. Pei's next words.
"My idea is to give you a signing fee of five million a year directly, but according to the regulations of LPL, the maximum payment can only be four million upfront, and I plan to add the subsequent one million to your base salary.
Rounding it off, let’s take a non-liability basic salary of 200,000 yuan a month. YM won’t take your cut of the live broadcast contract, and commercial endorsements will be 50-50.”
Mr. Pei's words directly shocked Su Chen!
He was about to ask, but Su's father, who was lying on the bed behind him, suddenly sat up!
"Five million a year! Is he telling the truth!?" Su's father was shocked.
"Dad, is your waist okay?" Su Chen was stunned.
Soon, Su Chen and Mr. Pei got the final confirmation.
"In addition, I personally gave you a bonus of 500,000 yuan as a reward for bringing ym into lpl. Don't refuse me. That's it. Happy New Year..." After saying that, Mr. Pei hung up the phone.
.
A few seconds later, Su Chen received a text message on his phone.
"Tengda Bank: Your account with card number xxx has just transferred 500,000.00 yuan..."
After showing the text message to Su's father, he fell into a strange state and kept mumbling something.
Su Chen, on the other hand, felt a little strange.
Why did Mr. Pei's last sentence sound like he was gritting his teeth?
I didn't force him to pay any bonus.
…
7pm.
In the Su family's living room.
A family of five, neatly gathered around the dining table.
"Come! Have a drink with dad!" Su's father said happily, his face flushed, and he held up the wine glass.
Su Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only drink half a glass of white wine.
"Dad's waist doesn't hurt anymore?" Su Yuan gnawed on the chicken leg and asked curiously.
"Your brother is on his way! He's making a lot of money!" Su's father said with a smile.
Soon, the entire Su family learned about Su Chen's sudden wealth from Su's father.
"Mama, how much is five million?" Su Xiaoduo asked curiously, holding her rice bowl.
However, Su's mother also fell into a brief state of sluggishness and did not reply.
While eating, Su Chen received a call from Xiao Ma, the manager of the ym team.
"It will be officially announced later. Please remember to cooperate with the publicity. The managers of the clubs in the province harass me every day. I also want to have a clean year." Xiao Ma complained.
"OK." Su Chen agreed.
Soon, he saw the latest Weibo posted by young miracle on Weibo.
"After friendly negotiation, ym club has officially reached a contract agreement with player @jkd will not Qinggangying. In the next year, Jiangke University will compete in the lpl arena as ym's main top laner!"
Su Chen wiped his hands and retweeted this Weibo post using his own account.
"S8 rush together!"
Very quickly, the topic #江科大外围renewalym# became a hot search topic on Weibo!
Fans who had been waiting for a month were a little disappointed when they learned that Jiangke University had renewed its contract with YM.
Comment area:
[Harm, my rw Galaxy Battleship is hopeless.]
[To be honest, with ym’s bottom lane configuration, it would be great if ym can not be at the bottom in next spring split.]
[Although it was expected, I was relieved to see the official announcement! YM was brought into lpl by Jiang Shen, with Xiaotian and Zuo, so come on YM next year!]
In addition to discussing Jiang Ke University's signing of YM, many people are also curious about what kind of treatment YM has given Jiang Ke University.
After all, the conditions offered by other second- and third-tier LPL clubs to Jiangsu University are also quite good.
SNG doesn’t even mention signing up for 1.5 million for one year.
OMG directly signed the contract with 3 million for two years, while fpx gave 2 million for one year.
The treatment is already considered to be the first level standard among domestic top laners.
Ym can't be that bad.
Soon, this answer was also revealed on Weibo by the familiar account @魔都名detective.
The source still comes from Edg’s boss Ed Zhu.
After learning about the contract between ym and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Ed Zhu directly posted a screenshot of the chat history on WeChat Moments and added a paragraph.
"I have been playing e-sports for so many years, but I have never seen this kind of contract. Are you crazy!?"
The content posted by @魔都名detective is as follows:
"Let me give you a brief summary of the contract provided by ym to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology."
First: YM provides a signing fee of 5 million, of which 4 million is a one-time payment, and the subsequent 1 million will be directly included in Jiang Keda’s monthly basic salary. Note that Jiang Keda’s basic salary at ym is unlimited.
Responsible!
Second: Jiang Keda has the option to veto the transaction within one year of the contract. In other words, ym cannot trade Jiang Keda before the contract expires next year.
Third: Jiang Keda's position as ym's starting top laner will not be rotated unless he wishes. If the club forcibly demotes him to a substitute, he will face sky-high compensation!
Fourth: Jiang Ke University’s live broadcast contract with ym does not belong to the club. All live broadcast income belongs to Jiang Ke University. For commercial endorsement contracts, Jiang Ke University and the club will share it 50-50.”
After reading the contents of Jiang Ke University’s contract.
The comment area of this Weibo also exploded!
[Did I read that right? YM gave Jiang Ke University five million a year! He has never even played an LPL game! Is this Jiang Ke University? 】
[I’m afraid ym is really crazy! In the history of LPL, is there any player who has the right to veto transactions?? This is a fucking poison contract! 】
[The live broadcast contract is separated separately? As a first-line anchor of Jiangke University, if YM does not take a commission, it will lose millions??]
[Hahahahaha! I, Jiang Shen, have to be treated like this. It is said that a certain boss of ym even gave Jiang Shen a bonus of 500,000 yuan. I don’t know if it is true or not. 】
Netizens are making a fuss
Many people in the industry also called it outrageous.
After all, teams sign players to make money.
The boss won't talk to you about worldliness, he always maximizes profits.
but!
The contract provided by ym to Jiangke University, not to mention the signing fee, just the right to veto the transaction directly put the club into a passive position!
Basically, this contract gives Jiang University of Science and Technology absolute autonomy in YM.
This is unique in the history of lpl!
"Brother, what are you looking at? When the German Cup starts, won't you look at it?" Su Yuan asked curiously.
Su Chen smiled, put away his phone, and ignored the rumors in the comment area.
The contract given by ym is indeed full of sincerity.
However, this was also agreed upon by Su Chen and pdd in advance.
If he hadn't joined ym halfway, everything wouldn't be what it is now.
As for whether Jiang Ke University is worthy of this contract.
All of this will be revealed in the Spring Split.
"Last time you said you had practiced Qinggang Shadow and wanted to show it to me? Don't forget it later." Su Chen put his arms around his brother Su Yuan's neck and smiled.
