League of Legends: Dynasty Creation

Chapter 27.darkness before dawn

A moment later, a black car slowly stopped at the gate of the Royal Club base, and the rear window was rolled down, revealing half of Zhao Qianyang's face.

Zhao Qianyang smiled and waved to the people standing at the door, and then called Jiang Bufan to get in the car.

"Come on, Lao Jiang, tell him clearly what we want!" Zhang Xiaodong patted Jiang Bufan's shoulder lightly behind Jiang Bufan.

"Success, then I'll go first!"

Jiang Bufan nodded with everyone and got into the car.

After a while, the car stopped at a teahouse.

"Jiangshen, please!" Zhao Qianyang got out of the car first and stretched out his hand to signal.

After the driver drove the car away, Jiang Bufan followed Zhao Qianyang into this quiet teahouse.

"Young Master Zhao! I've got a Tianzi room for you!" As soon as he entered the door, a beautiful waitress in a cheongsam stepped forward to lead the way.

"As a person, I actually don't like to imitate those gangsters who make a few teapots every day, but this place is different, clean and full of tricks!"

Mr. Zhao introduced Jiang Bufan beside him, and followed the waiter into a small room deep on the second floor.

Jiang Bufan took a look at the indoor environment, and a sense of elegance and antiquity emerged spontaneously.

"Sit!" Mr. Zhao skillfully picked up the small teapot brought by the waiter, and poured Jiang Bufan a cup of tea himself.

"Please!"

Jiang Bufan slowly picked up the teacup on the table and drank it down in one gulp, but was grinned by the hot tea and spit it out.

Seeing Jiang Bufan's embarrassed appearance, Zhao Qianyang burst out laughing.

Jiang Bufan yelled for a long time, finally slowed down, smiled embarrassedly, and said.

"Boss Zhao, actually, I came to you today because I wanted to talk to you about something."

"What you want to talk about is about money?" Zhao Qianyang sipped his tea and said with a smile, "Actually, you are looking for the wrong person for this matter!"

Hearing this, Jiang Bufan thought that Zhao Qianyang was planning to evade again, so he couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

"Boss Zhao, with all due respect, for big bosses like you, isn't it really a lot of bonuses of more than 100 million yuan for our team? Why do you want to make things so difficult for this little money?"

"Hehe, Jiang Shen, what I said is that you found the wrong person, it's not that I, Zhao, can't get the money!"

Zhao Qianyang leaned back on the rattan chair and raised his legs.

"I don't deny that I personally like the game League of Legends very much, and I am also very addicted to it, but one size counts for one size. In China, no e-sports club can generate profits. You must know this!"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Bufan was a little confused by Zhao Qianyang's words.

"What I mean is, first of all, when I bought the Royal Club, I didn't intend to make money at all! What I'm interested in is just the economic benefits that this championship can bring!"

"Let me tell you the truth, in my eyes, apart from the championship aura, the current Royal Club, including players, coaching staff, and management, are worthless!"

"Although this championship was won by all of you, the final honor is only concentrated on the two words of the royal family, which is enough! People will only see that the royal family won the championship, and they don't care about you Jiang Bufan , or anyone else, in short, in my eyes, you are worthless!"

Jiang Bufan was dumbfounded after listening to Zhao Qianyang's words, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"No hurry, it's still early, come on, have a sip of tea first!" Zhao Qianyang raised his teacup with a smile, gestured to Jiang Bufan from the air, and took a sip.

"Jiangshen! By now, do you know why I said you found the wrong person?"

"What you want, money, management rights, I can give you all these, but the question is, I don't need you?"

"But we are valuable? With players like us, the Royal Family team can continue to have the strength to compete for the championship next year!" Jiang Bufan argued vigorously.

"Wake up! Jiang Shen! Don't bargain with me anymore! I just say one thing now, the contract, I like to sign it, if you don't sign it, get out!"

Zhao Qianyang played with the teacup in his hand, looked up at Jiang Bufan's ugly expression, and continued.

"Jiang Shen, brother, I've told you everything I can say, and I've told you what I can't. I don't care about other people's gossip, but I am very loyal to people I like. Today These words can come out of my mouth and into your ears, okay!"

As Zhao Qianyang said, he stood up, "Where do you live? Do you want me to give you a lift?"

Jiang Bufan forced a smile, thanked him, and declined.

Walking on the streets of early autumn in Beijing, watching the crowds coming and going, Jiang Bufan fell into deep thought for a moment.

It turned out to be like this. In his previous life, Jiang Bufan wondered why the royal family who won the runner-up broke up as soon as they said it. It seems that it wasn't that the players didn't want to continue playing, but that this Zhao Qianyang was short-sighted, because of the small profit in front of him. Missed opportunity for Royal Club to really take off!

If the royal family continues to operate well, the money that can be earned around the team alone will be much more than these several million!
But Jiang Bufan thought about it again, what Zhao Qianyang did is not a microcosm of this society?Today, when League of Legends has just started, not only Wang Fugui, how many people can see this huge emerging market?
There is no live broadcast, no event peripherals, what people see is a bottomless pit that keeps swallowing money!Wang Fugui just made the right decision when he saw that he could exchange the club in his hand for hot money, and that he could sell this loss-making club at a high price.

But for Jiang Bufan and the others, the impact was huge.

Take Jiang Bufan as an example. After lending the money he saved to White, he has no savings. If he does not continue to sign a new contract with the Royal Club, not only will he lose his income, but he will not even be able to play games. go down!

In the hearts of countless League of Legends players, those few people who are like gods of war are worrying about their future. The huge contrast seems so ridiculous at this moment!
This is the truest portrayal of the domestic e-sports industry before capital and hot money enter the market!
The status of professional players is so low that everyone is staring at the youth, blood, and even health of the most healthy and hungry devotees!
While they are desperately overdrawing their future, they are tenaciously attacking each event, each champion!

As an emerging industry that is not recognized by the society, it has been labeled as a plaything, a waste of ambition, and a waste of youth. But even so, many passionate young people are still rushing forward and sweating for their simplest dreams!

Perhaps only in the not-too-distant future, with the rise of the live broadcasting industry, giving many internet-addicted teenagers a way out and forming a complete industrial chain, the spring of e-sports will come!
But today in 2013, in the final darkness before the dawn, many e-sports players, including Jiang Bufan, can only forge ahead, cut off the thorns in the road ahead, and walk out a magnanimous path for future generations. High road!
