As long as the wages are in place, all champions will be crushed to pieces

Chapter 184 Su Xiaoluo’s sexy moves

Hearing this figure, Li Feifan felt like he was floating, and his breathing became a little hot.

Nima...

What is the concept of 2500W non-liability guarantee?
You must know that the salary level in the League of Legends e-sports circle is actually very high. Some people look at it as a 500 million annual salary contract, but in fact most of the amount in the contract is bonus clauses.

Generally speaking, contracts with many bonus clauses are signed by newcomers who have potential but have not yet demonstrated their actual ability on the field.

Li Feifan is such an example.

His contract with IG has a gambling nature, but it is also essentially a contract with reward clauses. You can get corresponding salary according to the results you lead the team to achieve.

Players who earn high base salaries without responsibility are often long-established star players who have the initiative to negotiate with the club.

For example, Uzi, the factory director.

There is only one person in the IG team who can get this kind of contract and enjoy this kind of treatment, Song Yijin.

His annual salary is tens of millions, which is a basic salary without responsibility. It can be regarded as a loyalty reward given by Principal Wang to him for sticking to the team.

In other words, you don’t have to do anything, you just need to sign a contract, and you can get an amount of money that ordinary people can’t earn in a lifetime of hard work?
The person who called him was Lan Baiqing, the actual spokesperson of the JD.com team. He holds 60% of the shares of the JD.com team and 40% of the e-commerce JD.com. As the actual major shareholder, he has a greater say.

JD.com is equivalent to obtaining a naming right, which is equivalent to a walking advertising space.

"As long as you can join our JDG team, we will definitely build a team around you. Just ask whoever you want to be teammates with! We will be responsible for helping you realize it. We will definitely build a lineup around you that is capable of winning the championship!"

These people also understand that if you simply offer Li Fan a sky-high contract, but the team lineup does not provide any guarantee, it will definitely not be attractive to Li Fan.

Unless Li Feifan wants to rest on his first championship and FMVP for the rest of his life, he is only 17 years old! !
No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to enter a retirement state early.

Li Feifan just said a few polite words without giving any substantive reply, saying that he needed to think about it seriously.

But there is still an endless stream of people contacting him privately.

Judging from the current announced situation, the LPL will expand to 8 teams next year, which is the S14 season. In addition to the existing teams this year, the VG team caught up with the last train and successfully obtained an upgrade spot in the last LSPL. , becoming the last team to break into the LPL league through the promotion and relegation mechanism.

In addition, several teams sold their spots.

For example, the NB team was acquired by capital and renamed FPX. The IM team that had completed the triple jump in S6 was also packaged and sold to Bilibili. The boss of IM asked his uncle to get a wave of gold coins and then retired.

Top Sports acquired Team Dan and renamed it Top, while Prodigal Nation also invested in an LPL team and named it Team RW.

Looking at the capital behind these new LPL teams, it is actually clear at a glance.

They are either computer equipment, e-commerce, or sports products. These products are mainly targeted at young people and are highly overlapped with the audience of e-sports players!

Hundreds of millions of advertising dollars a year can be invested in other channels. Why invest in the e-sports industry?

After all, the effects and conversion rates in other channels may not be as high as those in the e-sports industry. After all, the e-sports industry is a targeted advertising output to young people.

Even people like my uncle who made their fortune from Two-dimensional can't help but come to the e-sports industry to get a piece of the pie, which is enough to know how attractive the e-sports industry is to this group of big capital.

As for why so many team owners choose to quit at this point in time?
Very simple.

No money!
LPL will officially start its alliance in the S8 season. Each team needs to select its own home stadium and hand in a 3000W deposit. This deposit is actually a threshold screening mechanism. Set up an access threshold to exclude those who do not have Clubs that have invested a lot of money are stuck at the door. Try to let large capital come into the league and everyone invests. Only in this way can the commercialization of the league be further advanced.

A team like IM took over a second-team spot from EDG. The spots in the LPL last year were not that expensive, and the players they had were all practical players, not very famous. But there are some that have certain strengths, such as AmazingJ, Golden Horn, and Athena, and what stands out is their cost-effectiveness.

For Korean players like Athena who were abandoned by EDG, the contract salary cannot be too high.

IM's full club expenses for a year will only be 1000, right?
The whole team together is not enough to pay Song Yijin's salary for one year, so you still want them to hand over an additional 3000W deposit to increase their investment?

Doesn't this cost their lives?

Although every team can get dividends from the league at the end of each year, you have to invest first before you will get a return. A small club like this with little financial resources may go bankrupt before waiting for the return.

It is better to sell them quickly when the LPL traffic is maximized and the seats are valuable.

What surprised Li Feifan was...

Even a club like WE, which barely has "stinginess" engraved on its forehead, actually called him. Their general manager Xiaoshou also said that money is not an issue and sincerely invited Li Feifei to join the WE family!

Later, Li Feifan found out that WE had hooked up with Xi'an and chose the new season's home court there in exchange for a large amount of financial support.

Xi'an itself is learning from cities such as Chengdu and Changsha, taking the pure Internet celebrity route, and wanting to attract young people, it naturally also aims at the e-sports industry, which has great appeal among young people.

No wonder the stingy WE dares to be so heroic.

BLG also came to inquire about him. Uncle, he also wanted to give Li Feifan a chance to explode his gold coins.

Almost all of the 14 teams, except for LGD and OMG, came to see Li Feifan, especially the newly formed teams who were particularly enthusiastic!
There was nothing to say, so Li Feifan turned around and called Su Xiaoluo to explain the situation.

"2500W+ single live broadcast contract, can we still continue to negotiate??" Su Xiaoluo couldn't help but gasped when he heard the conditions mentioned by Li Feifan.

He resisted the urge to curse. These idiots are all crazy trying to rob each other, right?
But knowing a lot of inside information, he knew very well that Li Feifei was indeed worth the price. The bonus of his first championship and FMVP was too terrifying. It would be unreasonable to say that Li Feifei's popularity among local players is now higher than that of "Pigs and Dogs". Not excessive.

As long as any team acquires Li Feifan, it will gain huge attention.

Isn’t it just for the advertising effect that big capital invests in e-sports?
Another reason is that...as the LPL starts to become a league, e-sports players will usher in a second wave of salary increases.

The first wave of craze was the year of S5, when a large number of Korean aid came to China and the rise of live broadcast platforms. At that time, the live broadcast platforms paid for the clubs. As long as the teams packaged the players’ live broadcast contracts to the platform, they could get poachers all over the world with waving checks. Human capital, along with the salaries of domestic players, has also skyrocketed!

at the moment……

This is the arrival of the second wave of enthusiasm.

IG won its first S-tournament championship in the local S-tournament. Everyone saw the sensation it caused in the country and the huge attention it brought.

And after the World Championship ended, Riot also announced various viewing data during the World Championship.

The peak number of viewers of the foreign Mouse Channel on the day of the finals was 450W. You must know that foreign live broadcast platforms do not have any gifts to add popularity. A single IP counts as one audience. 450W is a real number without water!
And that's just abroad.

Domestic platforms have not been able to calculate statistics for the time being, but the number of viewers is definitely higher than that of Mouse TV. A rough estimate shows that at the peak, tens of millions of people were watching online at the same time. This data undoubtedly broke the record. League of Legends can be said to be Top of all e-sports events.

As IG wins the championship, the group and number of domestic players will surely expand again, the commercialization of the event will further develop, and the wages of players will inevitably increase.

Because after the alliance is launched, large-scale capital has settled in. In order to seize the market and traffic, these capitals will inevitably wave their checks and poach people frantically. This is basically the same game for Internet companies in any field.

Spend money first to capture the market and traffic in your own hands.

Let’s make the traffic pool ratio of League of Legends into a cake. Whoever has more popular players will get a big share of the cake!

The version of this year's World Championship is particularly suitable for the bottom lane. The LPL is also a division with 'AD cancer'. Li Feifei led the team to win the first S Championship + FMVP. Coupled with the influence of Tengjing's god-making movement, it can be said that Half of IG’s traffic is concentrated on Li Feifan alone.

The three brothers Ueno Suke don't show up too often. Only Song Yijin in the middle has been sticking around for many years and has a group of die-hard fans, but his momentum cannot match that of Li Feifan.

It's no wonder that these large capitals immediately focused on Li Feifan, whose contract was about to expire.

Li Feifan is like a female anchor who dances sluttishly every day in the live broadcast room. She is being targeted by rich old men, who all want to give him a chance to blow the old man's gold coins.

"Don't promise them yet...I will give you an accurate answer in a few days." Su Xiaoluo rubbed his brows in distress, "In short, we will not treat you badly...but we may not be able to give you such a good answer." Horrible treatment.”

This can be regarded as him giving Li Feifan an early vaccination.

I really can’t afford it.

Principal Wang’s current investment focus is on Panda Live. After 360’s capital injection, the competition for equity between the two parties became fierce. Principal Wang did not want to hand over the actual decision-making power, so the pocket money prepared by the richest man for him was basically spent there. There are also banana plans and the layout of the entertainment industry.

Principal Wang’s stall is very large, but he doesn’t have that much money left for IG.

not to mention……

Principal Wang is just a top second-generation rich man, and he is still incomparable to the real big capital.It's not like his father's Wanda Group is here to take the consequences personally.

This is only one aspect. On the other hand, after winning the championship, IG needs to renew the contracts of all members. Li Feifan, you offer a contract worth more than 2000 million, how much do you offer Song Yijin? ?

The heroes and heroes who have stayed with the team for many years, not to mention being higher than Li Feifan, should at least be treated equally, right?
Ning Wang, Bao Lan, and theshy are still on the 'child labor' contract. In order to prevent them from running away, their salaries must be increased, right?

Not to mention too much, the contract will be increased to more than 500W, right? ?
With such a rough calculation, IG's salary space will be raised to more than 6000 million, and this is just pure player salary expenditure.

Do you want a raise because the coaching staff has done a great job?

Doesn't he, the best general manager who built a championship lineup, also need a salary increase?

Including other management personnel and water and electricity network costs, plus an admission fee of 3000W, the investment in the League of Legends branch alone will be as high as hundreds of millions of yuan...

Even Principal Wang would feel the pressure is huge, right?
At this stage, his cash flow is not optimistic at all, unless he goes to his father, Lao Wang, and asks Wanda Group to inject capital.

Think of this.

Su Xiaoluo immediately called Principal Wang and briefly explained Li Feifan's situation.

"Is it so outrageous?" Principal Wang also felt that the amount was a bit outrageous.

Mainly because he didn't expect that Li Feifan's net worth would rise to such an extent?
I don’t know if these B people are here specifically to raise prices or if they really want to spend a lot of money.

"Yes, I think Li Feifan's attitude is that his annual salary requirement is definitely not low. The 1000W I wanted to give him at the beginning is definitely not enough." Su Xiaoluo sighed.

He originally wanted to retain Li Feifan with an annual salary offer of 1000W.

After all, in this year of S7, no domestic player could get a multi-million-level contract.

The annual salary of Uzi and the factory director is only close to [-] million, and has not substantively exceeded [-] million. The gimmick of being the first local player to get a [-] million contract should be good, right?
But who would have thought, others would just start with 2000W and hit people.

"How about you increase it to 1500W and give it a try?"

"I'm afraid that even 1500W won't satisfy him. Looking at him, 2000W must be his bottom line, and he also needs a separate live broadcast contract." Su Xiaoluo couldn't help complaining.

If we can get Li Feifan's live broadcast contract, then the 2000 million will be given to him.

After all, the live broadcast platform will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to sign Li Feifan. Li Feifan is not one of those professional players who don't understand live broadcast. He is very good at managing things and can earn a lot of blood by relying on the live broadcast contract.

But it just happened to be stuck here.

"It seems there is nothing we can do?" Principal Wang did not get angry and cursed at Li Feifan.

IG and Li Fan have a mutually beneficial relationship. Without Li Fan, IG would not have achieved this result. Of course, IG also gave Li Fan a platform to showcase himself.

Both sides get what they need and owe each other nothing.

You want to play the relationship card with Li Feifan, but he has been in your club for less than 6 months, so how can you have any relationship? ?

Moreover.

Judging from daily interactions, Li Feifan is a person who is extremely obsessed with money. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has fallen in the eyes of money.

This kind of people can only talk about interests, but forget about feelings.

"This guy...can't he be a little considerate of the club's difficulties?" Su Xiaoluo couldn't help but complain.

"If there is no other way, then we can only let Yu Wenbo take the lead." Principal Wang said, "There will definitely be an impact, but it won't be that big, right? The most important thing is the middle. Besides, Yu Wenbo's performance at the beginning of the year was also It’s perfect, he can also command?”

"That's what I say, but no one can guarantee it."

If Li Feifan and Yu Wenbo are both lottery tickets.

Li Feifan had already scratched out the words 'Special Prize', while Yu Wenbo had scratched out the words 'First Prize', but the exact number of prizes was unknown.

The gold content of NEST at the beginning of the year was still a bit low, and there were too few reference samples.

"Let me think of a solution." Su Xiaoluo knew that this was the time to test his ability.

After hanging up the phone, he took out his mobile phone. Most people in the e-sports circle had personal contact with each other, and there were even various small groups. He was patrolling the group chats intensively, and was also browsing some online consultations. .

but……

Soon a hot news attracted his attention.

It was on Weibo that someone claiming to be an e-sports insider broke the news.

Su Xiaoluo did have some impression of this person's ID, but this breaking news caught his attention.

"I didn't want to say it at first, but I really can't help it. I don't want to see a talented player fall like this. I hope it can put more intensity and pressure on the club so that they can better restrain their players and stop acting like a team."

"According to reliable information, a very popular champion player this year openly went to the second floor of the Foot Washing City during the World Championship. It seems that this is not the first time. I will definitely keep it true, but I will not reveal the specific name."

Gossip is in the nature of all human beings.

This breaking news attracted many replies.

Su Xiaoluo didn't take it seriously at first. He usually didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of clown who broke the news and gained popularity.

Can……

Then he thought about it carefully...

This seems like a good opportunity? ?
He quickly called Principal Wang again.

"Principal, I suddenly thought of a good way. Maybe we can keep Li Feifan, and his price will definitely be within our acceptable range."

"what?"

"This method may require you to use some of your personal relationships to help contact the media in the circle and some big Vs related to e-sports on Weibo."

"Ok?"

"We can do this..."

Su Xiaoluo told all about his plan, "It is to ensure its concealment and not let Li Feifan know about it."

"Okay, I'll help you contact someone, and you can contact them for specific matters."

"Row."

Li Feifan, who was originally playing "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" on a live broadcast, suddenly saw the screen in his live broadcast room frantically refreshed!

[I heard that Brother Feifan ran out to take a bath on the second floor during the World Championships?Not the first time? 】

[Guigui, Brother Feifan, are you having such a good time? ? 】

[Zun Du and Fake Du, I heard that there is a big melon in the live broadcast room. Brother Feifan, you are not such a person, are you? 】

【? ? ?Fanfan, are you actually such a person?What's so good about those coquettish bitches on the second floor of the bathhouse? ? 】

PS: The promise of 1.5W words has been fulfilled.

The last chapter has been slightly modified. The protagonist really shouldn't start directly. That would be too frivolous and make the heroine look cheap.

In other respects, I think it's okay. It's just the way a woman chases a man. If she gets emotional and kisses, it's not a big problem.
