LOL: The No. 1 Succubus in the eSports Circle

Chapter 8 Education? Bachelor's degree!
On April 9th, Modu.

Cui Ze is a man who does what he says and will never procrastinate on things that have been planned.

I sent a WeChat message to PDD before going to bed last night. After receiving a definite reply, I immediately booked the ticket and boarded the plane early the next morning.

After experiencing the cheating incident in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and being affected by the 55.kai ban incident, PDD immediately turned into a coward and suspended his live broadcast.

Although he hasn't appeared in the live broadcast room for a long time, from time to time there will be a report that triggers heated discussions in the circle, such as having dinner with a certain big anchor today, tomorrow it was revealed that he bought a Cullinan, and the day after tomorrow it was said that he donated money to build a Hope Primary School.
Anyway, he is just setting up personalities everywhere to build momentum for the resumption of broadcasting.

At present, Panda Live is not completely dead yet. By next spring, PDD, who has suspended live streaming for a year, will join Douyu with great fanfare and start a period of unlimited glory that will last for several years.

Therefore, it is a very good choice to join before Xiaoxiang and Daye merge and before PDD resumes broadcasting.

Fortunately, although I didn't make arrangements in advance, the lawyer Wang Can introduced by Chen Yu happened to be free today. In addition, Cui Ze said a lot of good things about him, so he went to the appointment together.

I have to say, professional lawyers are different. When Cui Ze read the contract himself, he felt that there was no big problem. But after Xiaoxiang’s people left the meeting room, Wang Can quickly pointed out many loopholes in the contract to him.

The main issue is the penalty for breach of contract.

This agency contract seems to offer good treatment, for example, the profit share ratio is much higher than that of ordinary anchors, and there will be different degrees of traffic support every month, week, and day. After the broadcast starts, well-known anchors such as Da Sima will be arranged to support and attract attention, etc.

But these treatments are not available easily. After all, Choi Ze is still just a rookie player who has not had any stunning performance in the top league. The agency has invested so many resources to support him, what if he runs away after becoming famous?
Then increase the penalty for breach of contract!

This is also the tried and tested routine in the current online live broadcast industry. First, they make big promises to sign anchors with potential for development, and then use high-priced liquidated damages to tie them down tightly.

For some small and medium-sized live broadcast guilds, their main source of revenue is even the liquidated damages paid by the anchors!

After Wang Can discussed the pros and cons of this contract, Cui Ze directly and decisively rejected Xiaoxiang Interactive Entertainment and hoped that they would redraft a new agency contract.

This immediately startled PDD who was sleeping at home.

It was he who recommended Cui Ze to come to Xiaoxiang. As the second largest shareholder of Xiaoxiang, PDD naturally needed to follow up on the signing matter.

After receiving the call and understanding the situation, PDD immediately cursed:
"Ya'er? You brought a lawyer? Damn you!"

Is this 18 years old?
Which 18-year-old youngster in the e-sports circle knows to bring a lawyer when signing a contract?
Meet a master!
When PDD arrived, Cui Ze immediately put on a mask and pretended to be an ignorant and romantic boy.

Don’t look at me, I don’t understand anything and I don’t know anything (little bear spreads his hands.JPG).

The lawyer was recommended by my boss, and I just respect his professional opinion as a lawyer.

Professionalism makes a difference. Wang Can quickly drafted a brokerage contract template on the spot, but the content was completely different from what Xiaoxiang had expected.

To put it simply, Cui Ze clearly stated that he does not need any fancy traffic support. As a professional League of Legends e-sports player, as long as his performance on the field is good enough, traffic will naturally follow.

At the same time, Cui Ze is also willing to make concessions on the remuneration of the agency contract.

每月基础薪资从2万元/月降到8千元/月，直播间打赏分成由45%下调至40%，直播间广告及代言分成由35%降至30%，直播间外广告及代言分成由70%降至60%
Correspondingly, Cui Ze's willingness to give up this part of the interests also has certain prerequisites.

The agency contract is only signed for two years, and the amount of liquidated damages is also restored from the original sky-high price to the basic breach of contract fee for the online anchor because it is clear that no additional traffic support is required.

Xiaoxiang Interactive Entertainment did not immediately agree to the new contract proposed by lawyer Wang Can on behalf of Cui Ze, but instead withdrew from the meeting room for some discussions.

About half an hour later, PDD returned with his team and asked Cui Ze a question: "You are a talented mid laner in LDL, the FMVP of the Summer Finals, and a star player that many LPL teams are vying for. Do you treat money like dirt?"

Cui Ze finally stopped pretending to be stupid and gave a bright smile: "Money is valuable, but life is more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned." In the end, Cui Ze signed a contract with Xiaoxiang Interactive Entertainment, and exchanged a share of the remuneration for downgrading himself to a low- to medium-level anchor in exchange for a low penalty and a fairly flexible contract period of two years.

If this matter is exposed in the future, I wonder how many e-sports players in the circle will exclaim “Oh wow”.

We are all internet-addicted teenagers who haven't even graduated from high school. How come you are the only one who is so scheming and can resist temptation?
In this regard, Cui Ze just wanted to say: Although I am similar to you in this life, just an internet-addicted teenager who didn’t even finish high school for a few days, but... I graduated from a serious university in my previous life.

Educational qualifications?

Undergraduate!

After signing with the Little Elephants, Cui Ze did not stay in the Magic City for long.

I had dinner with PDD and others that night, and set off back to Yanjing the next day.

After returning to the base, the team members were very curious about why Cui Ze suddenly disappeared for a day. They started asking about it before they even sat down, but Cui Ze just answered them perfunctorily.

The only one who knows some inside information, besides the team's manager Wang, is the younger brother ZDZ.

Now the players are immersed in the fantasy of getting the LPL ticket and making a big splash in the top league next year, but they don’t know that their LPL dream will burst like a bubble in less than two months.

Regardless of which capital took over the OG team's LPL seat, any investor with a little industry vision would definitely not retain the team lineup without Cui Ze.

As for Cui Ze, he can share the hardships with the players in the team, but he cannot share the happiness with them.

He has higher goals to pursue and bigger dreams to strive for, and he doesn't have the energy to grow with them.

What's more, judging from the pitifully few memory points of them in their previous lives, except for his younger brother ZDZ, the others do not have the talent or potential to continue to improve.

From now on, until the team changes ownership or the autumn and winter transfer period, his main tasks are live streaming and - rushing to rank high in the Korean server.

There are only a few days left until the opening of the S8 World Finals qualifiers. Now the top players from all major regions have gathered on the Korean server. I can’t miss this once-a-year opportunity!

Silent all night.

On the second day after returning to Yanjing, with the help of Xiaoxiang Interactive Entertainment's Yanjing branch staff, Cui Ze had already prepared for the live broadcast in the training room of the base.

The live streaming platform is naturally Douyu. Compared with Huya, Xiaoxiang has more big League of Legends anchors on Douyu, especially after PDD joined Douyu, his popularity will be unmatched.

The team members were all very curious about Cui Ze's live broadcast, but they were not surprised.

In their opinion, as a star player of LDL, it is normal for Cui Ze to start live broadcast after leading his team to win the summer finals championship and FMVP.

"Once the team is officially promoted to LPL, we will have to start live broadcasts." The manager also cooperated very well and brainwashed the players with this statement.

September 2018, 9, 25:14 p.m.

In the Douyu live streaming platform, League of Legends section, a live streaming room named [Veronica-Choi Tae] and titled [Korean Server Score Rush] was quickly pushed to the live streaming homepage.

And Cui Ze’s first live broadcast journey began.
