The problems small assistants face when renewing their contracts are very real.
Or the treatment.
In fact, the club and teammates have already started negotiations on contract renewal, but the salary conditions given are somewhat below expectations.
The assistant didn't hide it, and directly told Lin Cheng that KT's contract extension conditions for him only offered him an annual salary of 800 million Korean won, equivalent to about 4.4 million RMB.
Even though LCK support position players generally have low salaries, the annual salary of 800 million is a lot higher than the support contract this year, but this number is still low.
It would be okay if Evert was older, and it would be understandable for the club to worry about his declining competitive level and give him less points, but Evert is obviously the youngest player on the team, and he is in his prime.
The requirements for the assistant are actually not high. He was kicked out by T1 last year because of Keria. He wants the same contract as Keria currently.
One million U.S. dollars a year is 1.2 billion won.
As a new champion support, the price is not expensive.
It's not that KT can't afford the money, but considering that Lin Cheng has not renewed his contract, the club wants to postpone Evert's contract renewal.
The LCK teams generally have a vigorous and resolute style. The transfer window has just opened, and today a team offered Evert a maximum-salary contract for the support position.
Comparing the two, Evert's intention to leave has already occurred.
It's not that KT is unwilling to renew Evert's contract with generous terms, but Lin Cheng's contract renewal is currently the club's focus.
Evert didn't want to wait any longer.
He already suffered a loss last year. He was kicked out by T1 at the end of the transfer period, so he could only sign with KT at a bargain price. What if he waits for other teams to sign support this year, and then negotiates with KT and gets a lower price?
So he immediately made this call to Lin Cheng.
Evert's voice was a little deep.
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to stay and wait for the contract to be renewed, but I'm really worried..."
"It's okay, I understand."
"But I just agreed to stay a few days ago...I feel like a traitor."
The assistant has played for two teams so far in his career. He was kicked out by T1 before, but now he seems to have a psychological barrier to actively speaking out about leaving.
Lin Cheng's tone became very serious, "Xiang Hao, e-sports is about youth, there is nothing wrong with planning for yourself."
"Your performance this year has been worthy of the club and fans. I am very happy that you can plan your career seriously and rationally."
On the contrary, I don't seem to be that rational.
Lin Cheng secretly glanced at his little wife.
It's all because the wives are so attractive that Brother Cheng can't move his butt.
Xiao Tong was watching the Indonesian League Kung Fu Football on TV with great interest. She clenched her pink fists tightly, as if she wanted to go up and instruct the players on both sides to box.
Spotting Lin Cheng's gaze, she waved her fist at Lin Cheng with a smile.
"What are you looking at? Be careful that Sister Tong will beat you up."
Lin Cheng looked away, feeling a little helpless and a little warm.
"By the way! Have you told Kim Hyuk Kyu and the others?"
"As I said before, Brother Hegui supports my approach."
"That's good. Next time I invite you to dinner, you will still be my best loser even if I leave... No! It's my younger brother!"
"Mo Ya? Brother Lin Cheng, what's wrong with you? What do you think of me?"
"Haha! Slip of the tongue! Our Xiang Hao is the most obedient brother, how can he be a bitch?"
The two joked, which diluted the sadness of parting.
As the youngest member of the team last year, it was actually quite novel to say goodbye to his teammates in the tone of an older brother this year. Lin Cheng felt inexplicably inside.
Lin Cheng had already been mentally prepared for the possibility of his teammates leaving.
After all, last year KT was already the team with the highest salary expenditure in the LCK. This year, not only the value of the entire team has skyrocketed, but the key is that Lin Cheng has not renewed his contract yet, and the club does not dare to give his teammates full contract renewal benefits in advance.
What if the four teammates renewed the contract first at a high price? It would be funny if Lin Cheng didn’t negotiate in the end.
Lin Cheng was wondering whether he should let Sister Shiyan sign her contract extension first when she comes back? Otherwise, when she renews her contract, all her teammates will be gone.
However, just after Sister Shiyan came back and the two of them talked about renewing their contract, Lin Cheng received another call from Chaowei's younger brother.
The situation is still the same, Chaowei also plans to leave the team.
The younger brother actually had not made up his mind, but Deft took the initiative to persuade him to leave the team after knowing the conditions offered by other teams to Chaowei.
After Lin Cheng understood the situation, he decisively persuaded Chaowei to leave the team.
There was no other way. GEN·G, which was determined to reorganize this year, was a bit fierce and directly made an offer of 4 billion won to Chovy.
This is higher than the basic salary KT gave Lin Cheng last year.
Anyway, before Lin Cheng and Faker renew their contracts, if Chovy transfers to GEN·G, it will be the largest contract in the LCK.
It is impossible for KT to offer such a contract to Chaowei. Lin Cheng and Mr. Dai had the same attitude, and both advised Chaowei to leave immediately.
4 billion Korean won is already 22 million yuan. This is an absolute maximum salary contract in the LPL, and is higher than the entire team salary of most middle and lower-level clubs.
Although Chaowei still wanted to play Brother League of Legends, the big brothers in the team helped him make up his mind.
Get out of here! Don’t call us big brothers even if you don’t make money.
"Wow! It seems that my teammates are really popular."
Lin Cheng hung up the phone and looked at Zheng Shiyan with interest, "What did Sister Shiyan say? What about me?"
"Many quotes have been sent to my mailbox. You are not interested in the others anyway, so I will talk about KT..."
"No! I'm interested."
Lin Cheng sat down obediently, "Just tell me so that I can have an idea."
"That's right."
Xiao Tong also came to join in the fun, "Sister Shiyan, tell me how much Lin Cheng is worth. Let's calculate how much he can sell for a pound of meat?"
"How much does a pound of meat cost?"
Lin Cheng glared at his little wife with hatred, "You think you're selling pork."
Xiao Tong chuckled, raised her chin and gave Lin Cheng a charming look.
"There are three teams in the LCK making offers. The first is Hanwha. They have offered you a 6 billion won contract."
Xiao Tong clicked her tongue, "Wow! This guy who was taken advantage of is really rich."
6 billion won is already 33 million yuan. This is just a preliminary offer and it is already far more than the contract GEN·G gave Chaowei. If we really want to continue the negotiation, we don’t know where Hanwha’s bottom line is.
It can only be said that Hanwha is very obsessed with Lin Cheng, and the money it did not spend last year will still be spent on Lin Cheng's head.
We who sell insurance also have money, but I am a wealthy person. Why can’t I spend money when I have money?
Hanwha probably has this mentality now.
Moreover, the numerous sponsors brought to KT by Lin Cheng's renewal last year are there, and Hanwha is also very jealous.
"Then GEN·G, they offered you a 5 billion won contract."
"Wait! Why is it only 5 billion? Who are you looking down on?"
