Lin Huiyin was under a lot of pressure during this period. One news after another during the transfer period made her toss and turn. The departure of Little Peanut left her with no choice but to attract investment or seek new sponsors.
Just two words, short of money!
Peanut's departure is the beginning, not the end. CP and KOO have not officially handed over yet, and the transfer period has not yet ended. Only Peanut is confirmed to leave CP, and it is hard to say for the other four.
Lin Huiyin talked to Chen Lang last time, and she was not sure what Chen Lang's choice would be.
Generally speaking, there is two-way communication between players and clubs. Clubs like EDG have an absolute say in selecting players. They will only back down unless they meet a player they particularly want, such as deft.
Ordinary players have no right to bargain with them.
Now, Chen Lang has such energy.
After winning the first LPL championship and FMVP, his value has skyrocketed. It is no exaggeration to say that no team does not want to take him under his wing. Under this situation, the negotiations between CP and Chen Lang are actually at a disadvantage.
After all, if you can't meet Chen Lang's needs, he can definitely find a team that can meet his needs. When treating such star players, the club must take careful care of them.
Work is work, and personal relationships are personal relationships. This must be understood clearly.
Although Lin Huiyin and Chen Lang get along very well, it does not mean that Chen Lang will definitely stay in CP. Both parties know it well, but with this relationship, Chen Lang is more likely to renew his contract with CP.
"Sister Lin, you must be very tired recently." Chen Lang smiled and handed Lin Huiyin a glass of hot water and said with a smile.
Lin Huiyin took a sip of the hot water and said, "How did you see it?"
Chen Lang smiled and said, "Sister Lin usually doesn't use much cosmetics. Today, she has a little more powder on her face. It should be used to cover the dark circles, but it is still difficult to cover up the tiredness in your eyes."
Lin Huiyin laughed directly after hearing this: "I am so meticulous in my observation. I will be very happy to be your girlfriend."
A boy who is observant and meticulous will naturally take good care of his girlfriend. She may not even need to say anything. The boy already knows the answer in her heart through her expressions.
"It's worth being tired." Lin Huiyin raised his hands and stretched his body.
The graceful body is on full display, the snow-white neck is as white and slender as a white swan with its head raised high, and the slender waist can be grasped by the bulging forward and backward body proportions in perfect proportions.
"Maoya suddenly sponsored KOO, which made several domestic live broadcast platforms come alive. The live broadcast contracts between you and JackeyLove belong to Cuyu, so Cuyu has made additional investment in us."
Chen Lang listened to Lin Huiyin's words, and her cold voice continued: "They said that you and JackeyLove are professional players who have gone out on their own platform, and they will definitely support you strongly."
"Moreover, after you win the championship, the first broadcast will be recommended on the homepage banner, and all resources will be given to you. Congratulations on winning the championship. Cuttlefish is really serious about doing this."
CP won the championship, and Cuiyu was the most profitable. He successfully became famous on several live broadcast platforms.
Originally, several platforms were competing for traffic this year. Maoya spent a lot of money to poach many anchors from Cuiyu, including big anchors like Vincent, which was definitely a heavy blow to Cuiyu.
When CP won the championship, the platform that their entire team signed with was Cuiyu, and JackeyLove and Chen Lang were both anchors and then professional players. To Cuiyu, they are "family members." With the traffic of the championship, Cuiyu became famous in one fell swoop.
.
Cuyu is preparing to go public. This wave of traffic is very conducive to their listing rhythm, and the stock price can soar by then.
After Lin Huiyin knew that Little Peanut was leaving the team, in order to retain the team as much as possible, he negotiated several sponsorships and wanted to attract investors to join the team. Maoya's investment in KOO directly allowed other platforms to follow suit, and Cuiyu increased its investment in CP.
.
It used to be just a sponsorship, but now it has shares, and it has truly become a "family member"!
Cuyu also has a purpose in being generous to JackeyLove and Chen Lang. After all, their live broadcast contracts will expire by then, and they hope to continue signing them instead of being poached by other platforms.
JackeyLove and Chen Lang can be said to be the most popular LOL anchors at present. They can bring huge traffic to Cuoyu. If they go to other platforms, Cuiyu will naturally value huge traffic.
Of course, capital is not a good person. Their good deeds are all because they can bring huge returns.
But regardless of performance, Cuiyu did a very good job, and Chen Lang knew it.
"Cuttlefish also hopes to retain our lineup as much as possible. Although the departure of Little Peanut has become a fact, we hope to retain the rest of your players as much as possible so that we will have the opportunity to compete for the championship again next year."
Lin Huiyin knew that Chen Lang was very smart and had his own ideas, so she announced very frankly: "The most important task at the moment is to renew your contract. If you can stay, it will be much easier to renew the contracts of the other players."
Not only is it much easier to renew the contract with JackeyLove and others, it is also much easier to recruit other players.
Chen Lang has just won the championship and his personal strength is at its peak. Who wouldn't want to be a teammate with him? He can really perform well. The stronger the player's team, the easier it is to recruit him.
Only newcomers or players who are just trying to make money will go to the Fish Belly Team, which is considered a bad behavior.
"Originally, I'll give you 10 million a year, now it's 11 million a year, and 22 million in two years. We have priority to renew the contract next year, and then the live broadcast contract is still in your own hands, but the club has to charge a commission, which is the same as before.
That contract is the same, but this one is more formal."
Lin Huiyin took the drafted contract out of the document bag and handed it to Chen Lang to check. It was similar to the old contract. However, this year, as a result of the club's vigorous investment, the CP club has several more shareholders. Lin Huiyin is the largest shareholder and concurrently
As for management, those in Cuiyu only invest money and do not participate in team management.
"It seems that Sister Lin has really secured investment this time." Chen Lang joked.
"I broke my leg all because of you." Lin Huiyin rolled her eyes at Chen Lang.
This damn ghost will torment her.
Although Chen Lang didn't say a word during the transfer period, this was exactly his attitude.
He has not really discussed the salary issue with other clubs, so this is giving CP time to deal with player contracts.
His non-statement is just silent pressure. If the CP management does not take action, then he will really leave. In order to retain him, CP will definitely invest money in signings, otherwise it will not be able to retain Chen Lang.
Lin Huiyin knew what Chen Lang meant. Once he decisively renewed his contract, and CP did not want to spend money on signings to compete for the championship but instead relied on traffic to make money, Chen Lang would be dumbfounded.
Now, Chen Lang has been silent and has not expressed his position. CP must take action. At least let Chen Lang see their attitude towards recruiting, so that he can rest assured that the team will not be ruined and they still want to get results.
Chen Lang has not expressed his position these days, and Lin Huiyin is busy working on this matter. In addition, the departure of Xiaohuahua has also let those investors know that the players will not necessarily stay on the team. If they want to renew the contract, they can only add more money.
It's not that Chen Lang doesn't believe in Lin Huiyin, but if the team doesn't have the money to renew the players, there will be nothing they can do if they can't retain them, and naturally they won't be able to produce good results.
This is a team game. No matter how good one person is, he can't beat five against each other. He still wants to chase the championship, so money is not the first priority. The configuration of the team is very important.
This time, seeing Lin Huiyin taking the initiative to find him, Chen Lang knew that things were almost done.
"Sister Lin, you know me. Where else can I go besides CP?" Chen Lang said with a smile: "I will definitely follow you. Let's win a second championship together!"
"Poor talk." Lin Huiyin said angrily.
In the past two days, she was really busy and exhausted. Sometimes, in order to invite the investment group to have dinner, those people were not interested in drinking, but she tried not to throw the wine in their faces.
"Scholars are evil-minded." Lin Huiyin lamented.
Chen Lang looks innocent but is actually shrewd. She is also such a person, but it is easy to talk to smart people. Some things can be understood without having to say them out, which saves everyone embarrassment.
"The contract will be officially signed tomorrow." Lin Huiyin looked at Chen Lang and said, "I will deal with the other people next. It will be much better with you here."
Chen Lang is the core of CP. If he doesn't sign, the rest of the candidates will be uncertain. If Chen Lang confirms to renew his contract, plus CP's matching offer, it's basically safe.
The main reason is that everyone has a tacit understanding after playing together for a year. It is easier for the original team to achieve results, and the team is well configured. Who knows how the new team will perform.
The most important thing is that as Chen Lang is a killer in the middle, few people can compare with him. If he goes to other teams, there will not be such a powerful mid laner.
If you want to compete for the championship, the team's mid laner must be strong, otherwise there will be no chance.
Looking at the previous championship teams, which mid laner is weaker?
The next day, Chen Lang and CP officially signed a contract extension. CP immediately announced the matter on Weibo, which was a reassurance for CP fans.
They had been having trouble during the transfer period, but suddenly they were told that Little Peanut was leaving the team. They were panicking to death. Now that Chen Lang has renewed his contract, they are relieved.
As for whether Little Peanut will renew his contract, they think it is uncertain. After all, all kinds of information are emerging during the transfer period, and it will not be settled until the last minute.
...
RNG is a little uncomfortable. Chen Lang and CP have renewed their contract, which means they have no chance with Chen Lang.
"Xiaohu, you improved your score so quickly today!"
mlxg got up and went to his seat after dinner. He saw that xiaohu had won another victory, and the score reached 900 points for the strongest king.
"Ah." Xiaohu said with a smile in a drake voice: "When you are in a good mood, getting a good score is like drinking water."
mlxg joked: "Are you in a good mood? I'm afraid you know that Brother Lang won't be here. You are in a good mood because you are stable in the starting lineup, right?"
"..."
People are hard to break down.
"I really wanted to form a team with Brother Lang to play a game. I looked for him last year, but he didn't come." mlxg looked back on last year's scene with a bit of regret.
In just one year, Chen Lang won the world championship, but he was relegated. The gap was too big.
"If he had joined us at that time, he probably wouldn't have won the championship."
mlxg smiled mockingly to himself. He knew the strength of his team very well. If Chen Lang really came, even though the team's performance might be much better, it would be impossible for Yuan to win the championship.
SKT is so strong. He watched the World Championship at home this year and could really feel that dominance during the live broadcast.
CP was able to defeat SKT, and Chen Lang was definitely the first to do so. He suppressed Faker in the lane. He took the rhythm several times in the early and mid-term and killed Faker solo. That operation was simply amazing.
"You can only think about it. He is the champion now, and you can't reach any higher." Xiaohu and maxg have a good relationship and often argue with each other.
mlxg said: "If he comes, you will really be benched."
Xiaohu counter-attacked mlxg: "If the little peanut comes, you will have to be a substitute. If they can't come now, wouldn't you be happy too."
malxg chuckled: "Little Peanut said he was going back to LCK, but Brother Lang is here alone,"
RNG has indeed cultivated Xiaohu and malxg as the cornerstones of the team, but now that they have the opportunity to get involved in the championship midfield, they must give it a try.
At least if they get Chen Lang and Xiao Peanut, their chances of winning the championship will increase by at least 30%. Loope + Xiao Peanut + Chen Lang + UZI + Mata. This lineup shouldn't be too perfect.
Each lane has advantages, and the jungler cannot just set the pace casually, and can defeat the opponent even from the start of the lane.
Xiaohu and mlxg are future warriors, but there is a difference between Chen Lang and Xiao Peanut, who are ready to fight.
"Actually, it's not bad at first. UZI joins. As long as you are stronger in the middle, we will be invincible." mlxg seemed very confident.
mlxg doesn't feel that he is any worse than Peanut. As long as the lane is strong enough and the jungler can perform very well, RNG's lineup is already very good and he will perform well.
"Come on in the new season, I think we may be able to defeat Brother Lang~"
...
After Chen Lang renewed his contract, JackeyLove and lqs found him and asked excitedly: "Brother Lang, has your contract really been renewed?"
"Yeah." Chen Lang nodded.
JackeyLove danced with joy: "When Sister Lin comes to see me, I also want to know how much I am worth now~"
lqs complained: "No money."
"Looking for death, loose dog!" JackeyLove was furious.
The two of them were very happy to renew Chen Lang's contract, which gave them a great chance to become teammates. As long as CP's offer was not too different from outsiders, they were willing to sign.
One is to have feelings, and the other is to have guaranteed performance.
In fact, everyone is not stupid. They are all newcomers who have just started playing professionally in their first year. Although their status has increased after winning a championship, they still want to continue pursuing results. The better the results, the higher the salary. This is inevitable.
If they can still win a championship in the second year, not to mention the S championship, even if they are the league championship, their traffic and value will still increase. If they continue to play with Chen Lang, their future will be guaranteed.
Everyone has room for improvement, and they are still in their prime. Who would just want to make a lot of money, take a big contract, and then go to a bad team?
Mainly, LPL has no shortage of bot lane combinations, which makes lqs and JackeyLove's situation a bit embarrassing. Strong teams have no shortage of bot lane, while weak teams have no results, so staying with the team is the best option.
CP did not disappoint either of them. JackeyLove got a one-year contract of 7 million yuan, lqs was 5 million, and the contracts were all for two years. JackeyLove's live broadcast contract is in his hands, and lqs's is owned by the club.
It is similar to the old contract. Lin Huiyin treats them very sincerely and does not turn into a capitalist to exploit them. Basically, the biggest difference from the previous contract is the salary gap, which has increased by more than 10 times.
lqs is really soaring. Luckily for JackeyLove, he doesn't particularly value money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up live broadcasting and came to play professionally with Chen Lang. He values results and honors more than money.
He is only 16 years old this year and has just started playing games. He still has a long career path in the future. It is better to get more honors while he is still at the peak of his youth. What else do you want if you have achievements?
Although JackeyLove is young, he is very mature inside. Even in the anti-stress bar, he practices anti-stress by reading posts criticizing himself. Not everyone has this kind of mentality.
You know, the anti-stress bar is called an e-sports public toilet, and the people there are all maggot babies. The first thing you should do when entering this bar is forget that you have parents, otherwise you will be bombarded.
With such fierce firepower, JackeyLove accurately targeted his posts and browsed them with a smile. Chen Lang couldn't even say that his ability to withstand pressure was better than his...
...
"Brother Wanghu, I don't know what to choose now." After TheShy and Lin Huiyin finished chatting, they found Xiaohuahua to chat.
"What's wrong?" Little Peanut asked.
TheShy told the other party everything about the current situation. He actually wanted to renew his contract with CP, but Peanut left. He felt that without someone to communicate with in the new season, it would be more difficult for him to fight.
In the past, when Xiao Huan was here, the two of them could communicate in Korean. His Chinese was relatively poor, and it was difficult to communicate with Chen Lang and others.
Now that Peanut is gone, if CP's jungler is not Han Yuan and he is the only Korean in the team, TheShy will feel uncomfortable playing the game.
"This depends on your own choice." Little Peanut couldn't give an answer: "If you have the answer in your heart, then follow your heart."
"Actually, don't worry too much. Brother Lang and the others are very nice people. Even if I'm not in the team, they will still take care of you." Little Peanut hopes that TheShy can continue to stay, but he can't say it for fear of affecting TheShy's own decision.
.
If TheShy listens to his words and stays in CP, he will be fine if he produces results in the new season. If he fails to produce results, he will take the blame. Who dares to give arbitrary opinions on other people's careers.
TheShy said: "LGD has given me very good treatment, and there is an IMP brother in the team, and he has also extended an invitation to me. I am hesitant..."
If Peanut hadn’t left, TheShy wouldn’t have hesitated at all. Peanut’s departure had a huge impact on TheShy.
He also wants to return to the LCK, but no strong team wants him. If he goes to the bottom team, he will be beaten in the past. TheShy's pride does not allow him to do this, and he refuses to admit defeat.
TheShy was quite interested in joining LGD. He originally thought that CP was going to break up, but Lin Huiyin came to him and told him that everyone had renewed their contracts, so he hesitated.
He was afraid that he would be lonely as the only Korean in the team, or there would be a language barrier. He personally enjoyed the atmosphere and feeling of playing with Chen Lang and JackeyLove.
The main thing is that the brainwaves of a few people are in sync, so there is no need to communicate. Sometimes everyone in the game understands an operation, and there is a tacit understanding.
TheShy didn't renew his contract, and Lin Huiyin couldn't force him. When JackeyLove found out, he approached TheShy.
"Brother shy, let's talk."
"Jie Kuo."
TheShy likes JackeyLove very much. He likes to touch JackeyLove’s head and JackeyLove likes to pull his shoulders. The two have a good relationship.
"Actually, it doesn't matter which team you want to go to. I just think you still have to work hard. After all, everyone is separated now with just one thought. I don't know if we will have the opportunity to play on the same stage again in the future."
JackeyLove said: "In the tank version of the spring game, there are more than a dozen teams that can choose Sword Princess for you. Riven's team will never exceed 2. I feel that Brother Lang is taking care of us a lot of the time and makes us have fun."
"Sometimes he can clearly defeat the opponent just by laning, but instead of relying on laning all the time, he chooses to roam to help us gain an advantage. Wherever we are at a disadvantage, he will try his best to help fight back the disadvantage."
"So, I chose to stay and fight alongside him. I hope you will think about whether they will make these sacrifices for you before going to another team."
"I believe that after a year of experience, we will be in better shape next year. We can compete in the World Championships again, and even win the championship!"
TheShy looked at JackeyLove's young but firm words, and his eyes became a little more colorful.
The next day, TheShy approached Lin Huiyin to renew his contract, but he turned down LGD's invitation. At this point, the four members of CP stayed on the team, and Little Peanut left.
