Chapter 764 You are all gone, how can I leave KT behind?
It is not so difficult to understand that BLG offered Lin Cheng a contract with an annual salary of 2,500 yuan.
The current market situation in the LPL is that any domestic player's contract can easily start at tens of millions. Lin Cheng's two-year contract of 50 million is actually about the same as the price Taobo paid to sign Brother Shui Zi.
Because many LPL players are traded during the contract period, middlemen make the difference, resulting in an inflated value. However, the value of domestic players who behave like normal people is not much lower.
And this happens to be Lin Cheng's advantage.
To sign Lin Cheng, you only need to pay him a salary, and there is no need to pay additional contract buyout fees to KT.
In fact, when Curse was listed by OMG a few days ago, BLG management expressed its intention, but it turned out to be wrong.
Damn, with so many companies vying for it, even if you get the signing fee plus the salary during the contract period, it will still exceed 30 million.
If you don’t go the extra mile to grab Lin Cheng when you have the money, will your brain be caught in the door?
Although Lin Cheng will still take up valuable foreign player quota, he does not have communication problems like ordinary Korean players, and the price/performance ratio is really high compared to other domestic players.
And many people have overlooked one point. Lin Cheng's external image is really outstanding. It is hard to imagine what kind of commercial value Lin Cheng would have if he was put into an environment like LPL.
Of course, in fact, Lin Cheng himself already has great commercial value. KT’s official account on YouTube has far surpassed other LCK clubs in the number of fans because of Lin Cheng’s existence, and is close to the previous T1.
Lin Cheng didn't think through these details and was still looking at the emails on his phone in a daze.
Is Bilibili really that rich? Aren’t there supposed to be a lot of prostitutes in it?
Free prostitutes can also contribute to profits, so the creators should be very happy, right?
After muttering, Lin Cheng shook his head and closed the email on his phone, while rubbing Enxi's little head.
Enxi was huddled in Lin Cheng's arms watching cartoons, turned to Lin Cheng and smiled innocently.
They had just finished dinner, and the three girls were chatting about makeup. Lin Cheng couldn't get in the conversation, so he could only hold the little girl and continue playing on his mobile phone.
KT fans online still don’t know that Aiming has decided to leave, and they are still leaving messages asking the club to renew the player’s contract as soon as possible.
Fans still firmly believe that the three KT players will renew their contracts, and the keel of the KT ship is still there.
The cartoon in which Lin Cheng praised him at the airport was also widely circulated among KT fans, and some KT fans even used Photoshop software to add some details.
For example, they added a crown to the lord in Lin Cheng's image, Cheng is KT's King Arthur, and Aiming and Bono are the Knights of the Round Table who are still guarding him.
The fuzzy city-states in the distance were filled in with their names by KT fans one by one, symbolizing their status as KT fans.
Fans left messages saying that under the protection of the remaining Knights of the Round Table, Lin Cheng will lead KT to still dominate the LCK and even the world next year.
Seeing the confident and happy expressions of KT fans, Lin Cheng felt uneasy.
How sad would you be if you knew that the king had begun to waver?
"What's wrong? You look so bitter and resentful?"
Xiao Tong stuffed half of the peeled oranges for Enxi, and handed the other half to Lin Cheng.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little reluctant to leave these fans."
"What? Have you decided to transfer?"
As soon as Xiao Tong said this, Han Shuyan and Zheng Shiyan, who were talking, both turned their heads and looked over.
Only the little girl Enxi was still happily stuffing oranges into her mouth.
"No! It's just that another team directly sent a contract quote, and it started to waver."
Lin Cheng was shaken not because of the salary issue, but because after his teammates left, he became more and more unsure about how firm he was to stay in KT.
After all, emotions are maintained by familiar people and things.
Xiao Tong was curious, "Is it an LPL team? How much salary will you be offered?"
"50 million, two years."
"So many?"
Xiao Tong explained to Han Shuyan and Zheng Shiyan, "Well~~50 million yuan is already more than 9 billion won."
Han Shuyan was also surprised. Lin Cheng had never disclosed the specific quotation received before.
Zheng Shiyan asked directly: "Then you are going back to China?"
The little girl who had been happily eating oranges finally realized something was wrong and looked up at Lin Cheng in confusion.
"Is uncle leaving?"
Lin Cheng wiped the orange juice from the corner of Enxi's mouth, "There's nothing left..."
Before Lin Cheng could finish what he said, the little girl realized something was wrong and immediately sighed and burst into tears.
"Uncle! Are you going to abandon Enxi?"
Lin Cheng was speechless, how did the little girl understand?
Without waiting for Lin Cheng to comfort her, the little girl, immersed in sadness, threw herself into Lin Cheng's arms, hugged Lin Cheng and cried, "Uncle, please don't abandon Enxi, okay? Enxi will be obedient."
The little girl seemed to have lost her favorite toy, holding her head and crying loudly.
Lin Cheng quickly hugged the little girl and coaxed her softly.
"If you don't want to go, don't go. Enxi, be good! Uncle, I won't go."
Lin Cheng tried hard to talk, but the little girl just cried, crying so hard that Lin Cheng's heart almost broke.
The others also came together to comfort her, and it took a long time for Lin Cheng to make the little girl realize that he had not decided to leave yet.
The little girl finally broke free from the sadness and leaned in Lin Cheng's arms, still twitching and confirming with Lin Cheng again and again.
"Uncle, don't lie to Enxi."
Lin distressedly wiped her crying face with a tissue. Just as she was about to speak, the phone rang.
Lin Cheng made a shushing gesture and answered the phone.
"Way! Jin Kifan, why do you think of brother Cheng at this time?"
"We may not be teammates next season, Lin Cheng."
Bono's voice was a little low, with a hint of guilt.
Lin Cheng's expression calmed down, "Are you leaving too?"
In fact, compared to Aiming, Bono's chances of staying should be great. His worth is far less exaggerated than Aiming's.
But when renewing the contract with the club, there was also a problem that had to be faced:
It is difficult for KT to provide a long-term contract to the 24-year-old Bono like other clubs in other divisions. There are big differences between the two parties on the length of the contract.
The jungle is the position that is most affected by the version, and the version updated to Korean Server 10.23 a few days ago due to the emergence of mythical equipment makes everyone understand that the next season will definitely be a big turmoil.
In fact, Bono is not adapting to the wild core version this year, and KT's management has no confidence at all in what kind of state he will be in next year.
So what they offered Bono was a one-year contract with a decent salary.
However, a North American club has expressed its willingness to provide Bono with a lucrative contract of up to three years. It is naturally difficult for Bono not to be tempted.
Unlike Lin Cheng and Aiming, Bono is already 24 years old and he must think more carefully about his final career.
This contract is enough to ensure that Bono will receive a high salary and enjoy his last playing time before entering the military service.
However, he just told Lin Cheng that Huili and KT would renew his contract a while ago, so Bono made this call with guilt.
After hearing this, Lin Cheng didn't mean to blame his teammates, he just sighed.
"You don't have to apologize, Kim Ki-bum, you did the right thing."
Bono breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask: "What about you, have you decided where to go?"
"me·····"
Lin Cheng lowered his head and kissed Enxi's little girl's forehead. The little girl raised her head and looked at him pitifully with her red eyes.
Lin Cheng didn't rush to reply, and turned to look to the side again.
Xiao Tong was eavesdropping with her ears pricked up, and quickly moved her head away when she saw Lin Cheng's eyes.
Han Shuyan smiled softly at Lin Cheng, as if to say: She will support him no matter what decision he makes.
Zheng Shiyan lowered her eyes, as if it had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't help but looked over in the end.
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Jin Jifan! I have decided, I will stay."
"You are all gone, how can I leave KT behind?"
"If we disband if we win the championship, KT will become a joke."
"This is the place where we leave our mark. I know that you also really want to stay, but you have to leave for your own reasons."
"Then let me hold on for you."
"KT fans are still singing my name."
"Moreover, there are many people here who are very, very important to me, and I can't bear to leave them."
