Chapter 1622: Insulting quote! Wait for me next season
Hearing the quotation given to him by GEN·G, Lin Cheng felt something was wrong.
You offered 4 billion won to Chaowei, why did you give Brother Cheng 5 billion?
What does it mean?
You look down on people, right?
I’m not Zeyuan. I’ll post GEN·G when I hear it.
If it were last year, 5 billion won would have been considered an absolutely sky-high price in the LCK, but after one year, everyone has seen Lin Cheng's commercial value, not to mention his excellent competitive form.
"In my opinion, GEN·G actually doesn't have much determination to compete for you."
Zheng Shiyan has a good grasp of information, "GEN·G has made great moves this year, but they need to change too many positions. I understand that they are also in contact with other top laners."
"Obviously GEN·G also knows that there is little chance of signing you. Instead of competing with other teams, it is better to adjust their strategies and quickly grab some other players who are capable but have not been snapped up."
Lin Cheng understood that GEN·G’s strategy was actually very smart.
This year they announced a reorganization. Everyone knows that GEN·G has money, but GEN·G is also afraid of falling into vicious competition with other teams and raising prices wildly.
Players like Lin Cheng can't afford many players, and teams that are determined to compete are often already prepared. When GEN·G almost needs to change its entire lineup, it is unlikely that they can win Lin Cheng.
Therefore, they only made a tentative offer. Instead, they were more determined to win Chaowei, and then quickly finalized some other powerful players.
After all, although the LCK teams have become rich after joining the league, they are not too outrageous. It would be a nerve-wracking thing for any team to sign Chaowei and Lin Cheng at the same time.
"Then DK, they also sent you an offer of 5 billion won."
Lin Cheng didn't expect that DK would be really interested in him.
It has just been officially announced that four main players have left the team, aren't they in a hurry to sign back Canyon and Showmaker?
Of course, DK is backed by Kia, so if the sponsor is willing to invest, everything will be easy.
Moreover, Kia is responsible for the operation of DK Club. Judging from their crazy linkage with the entertainment industry last year, I am afraid they attach great importance to Lin Cheng's commercial value.
"Excluding KT, among the three LCK teams, Hanwha currently seems to be the most sincere."
Zheng Shiyan pinched her daughter's cheek. The little girl just secretly took a sip of coffee from her mother's cup. She curled up her neck and wrinkled her face in a funny way.
"I checked and found that the Hanwha Eagles, a baseball team sponsored by Hanwha, spent less than 6 billion won on salary last year. The initial offer they gave you even exceeded the total salary of the entire Hanwha Eagles team."
"real?"
Xiao Tong was surprised, "Wow! Lin Cheng is more expensive to play games than a baseball team?"
Lin Cheng stared angrily.
"Ah! What do you mean by a game player?"
Xiao Tong chuckled and hid next to Zheng Shiyan to tease little Enxi.
It can also be seen from Zheng Shiyan's words that e-sports players are indeed more popular in South Korea, and players' salaries have exceeded that of most local traditional sports players.
It can even be said that the treatment of top e-sports players in South Korea has completely surpassed that of traditional sports, especially after the LCK became a league in the past two years.
The highest-paid player in the K-League only earns 1.4 billion won per year. The top players in baseball are almost at this level, and other sports are not as good as football and baseball.
In the past few years, Kiin's 1.5 billion won was the maximum salary for anyone in the LCK except Faker, but now many of the first-tier players in the LCK are worth more than this level.
From this, it is obvious that e-sports players have a high status in South Korea.
He earns more and has a lot of traffic among young people. It makes sense that Hanwha is obsessed with Lin Cheng.
"Of course, Hanwha is very sincere, but they are also the team with the smallest chance of winning next year..."
Lin Cheng waved his hand, "Forget it, Sister Shiyan! I don't really want to transfer, why did you help me analyze it?"
Xiao Tong touched Enxi's little head and felt a little pity for Han Hua.
This club has been pursuing Lin Cheng for so long as if they were chasing a goddess, but in the end they couldn't get Lin Cheng's favor.
Facts have proved that there is no way out for licking dogs.
"In addition to the LCK, there are also several teams in the LPL making offers to you..."
Speaking of this, Zheng Shiyan paused and seemed to hesitate.
"What's wrong?"
"Actually, T1 also offered a transfer contract, but it was not sincere enough so I didn't mention it."
Lin Cheng didn't expect that T1 would really be interested in him. Logically speaking, it was unlikely.
Zheng Shiyan looked at Lin Cheng, "The tentative offer they initially called me to communicate with was 4 billion won. I knew you would never go to T1, so I casually revealed: The lowest offer offered to you by other teams was 5 billion won."
."
"Then what?"
Zheng Shiyan wiped Eunxi's little head and said, "Then T1 will re-quote 5 billion and one thousand won."
"puff!!!"
Xiao Tong was drinking water and couldn't help but spit it out.
Lin Cheng's face was full of black lines.
"Damn it! What does Zhao Mashi mean? It's insulting, right?"
He immediately remembered the insulting offer Arsenal made to Suarez.
When Wenger was interested in Suarez, Arsenal's offer of 35 million pounds for Suarez was immediately rejected by Liverpool. Liverpool said that there was no need to negotiate for 40 million pounds.
This 40 million is just the bottom line for Liverpool to allow Suarez to contact other clubs. In fact, if we really talk about it, it will definitely have to rise.
As a result, Arsenal thought this was Suarez's liquidated damages, so they later quoted £40 million and one to humiliate Liverpool.
This offer not only made Suarez feel hugely insulted, but also triggered the Liverpool boss's classic "What are you doing?"
T1 obviously has the same approach to Lin Cheng's 5 billion and 1,000 won.
Lin Cheng also felt humiliated.
Damn it, the minimum denomination of Korean won banknotes is 1,000. It’s hard to say that T1’s bid is not to humiliate Lin Cheng.
Wait for me, stallholders!
Next year I will have your good fruits to eat.
"Hey~~~"
The more Lin Cheng thought about it, the angrier he became and couldn't help but hammer the table.
The little girl Enxi ran over quickly, stood on tiptoes and touched Lin Cheng's head.
"Uncle, don't be angry. Just touch Enxi for you."
The little girl's cute look immediately made everyone laugh.
"There are also several teams in the LPL that have made offers. BLG is very determined to pursue you, but I guess it will be difficult for them to make concessions in terms of image rights, Taobo..."
"Forget it!"
Lin Cheng waved his hand, "I won't talk about this anymore. Anyway, I have made up my mind to stay. If the renewal conditions given by KT are not too low..."
Zheng Shiyan smiled and asked, "Why do you think KT's conditions for you will be low?"
"Um?"
"Actually, in my opinion, the price KT gave you is the highest."
"real?"
Lin Cheng was stunned. In his opinion, KT's offer could not be too high.
After all, there are still four championship teammates waiting to renew their contracts.
"7 billion! This is KT's official offer to you today, and you still have 100% complete image rights. Of course, you still have to attend some of the club's necessary business activities."
"In addition, the special terms regarding the Asian Games are also clearly written in the contract."
Obviously, KT is very sincere.
They directly laid out their bottom line and doubled Lin Cheng's basic salary compared to last year.
The outside world doesn't know how much revenue Lin Cheng's image rights can bring, but KT knows it.
Next year is the year of the Asian Games. If Lin Cheng represents the national team and wins the official competition, his commercial value will only be higher.
It can be said that KT has almost made billions of won in profit from the image rights alone.
Moreover, Lin Cheng was allowed to leave the team early during the Asian Games, which is enough to show that KT is determined to keep Lin Cheng even if it gives up a league championship.
It should be said that in order to retain Lin Cheng, KT was the one who had the most bottom line.
But KT won’t suffer any loss.
Previously, many club sponsors had put pressure on the management and made it clear that they would wait until Lin Cheng's contract renewal was completed before discussing next year's sponsorship contract.
It doesn't matter if others don't sign Lin Cheng, Dingtian will lose some potential sponsors, and KT will lose a batch of existing sponsors if they lose Lin Cheng.
Management still sees the formality clearly.
But when he saw the conditions offered by KT, Lin Cheng felt a little weak.
How much budget does the club have left?
Damn it! If you give Brother Cheng so much, you won’t ask me to play 1 against 9 next season, right?
