Chapter 4 - A New Beginning, Start Here
At this time, it was late at night, but the two of them were not sleepy, just in time for the E-sports Golden Moon Championship was also held in Kyoto, Bai Qian called a taxi and went straight to Kyoto University of Science and Technology.
The two of them who got together again didn't say much, and gave each other a big hug, warm and wordless.
After the warmth, the ambitious two encountered a world-class problem.
That is, find a suitable place to live.
This matter is simple to say, but if it is really implemented, it suddenly makes it difficult for the two of them.
One is a recent college graduate, and it is reasonable that he has no financial reserves. And Bai Qian, as the captain of the top professional team in China, is not poor, but he is definitely not a rich man.
Don't doubt the influence of Shushan in today's online game industry. The salary level of the captain of a top team is definitely beyond most people's imagination. And the main reason why Bai Qian has no savings so far is that he rejected all transfer requests and insisted on staying in Qixian, and even when the team offered him a contract with an annual salary of several millions, he took the initiative to choose to reduce his salary to leave salary space for the team to transfer players.
Of course, the disadvantages of doing so have also been highlighted, all in all, now these two people have no money!
"So, where are we going now?" Chi Zhusheng looked at Bai Qian, who had been silent for a long time beside him, and asked with a roar.
In Chi Zhusheng's words, he could never have imagined that the savings of a professional team captain for seven years would not even be enough for a year's living ......
"This ...... Actually, I do have a place to go. Bai Qian muttered hesitantly.
Chi Zhusheng resisted the urge to punch him and asked, "You still don't say if there is a place to go?" Yes! ”
Bai Qian replied lightly: "Do you remember Duan Mingyu?" ”
Obviously stunned for a moment, Chi Zhusheng nodded slowly.
Remember? Of course I do! This person was not only their friend who opened up the wasteland together in the first district, but also the popular one in the selection of the Qixian team at that time.
"Didn't he miss the selection and quit "Shushan" from now on, why did he suddenly mention him?" Chi Zhusheng came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Bai Qian, who was holding his arms.
Bai Qian looked at Chi Zhusheng and said slowly: "You only know that he retired after missing the selection of the Immortal Clan, but you don't know what he did after this." ”
Chi Zhusheng shook his head blankly.
Bai Qian suddenly laughed: "If I tell you that he went to start a business after that and made steady progress, you wouldn't be surprised." Chi Zhusheng's eyes suddenly widened, looked at Bai Qian, and asked in disbelief, "Seriously?" Looking at Bai Qian, who nodded and acquiesced, Chi Zhusheng suddenly felt a little unreal. As far as he is concerned, he has never thought of any other way out for him except for the game "Shushan".
Suddenly clapping his hands, Chi Zhusheng looked at Bai Qian with a smile on his face, and returned to the topic: "He has succeeded in starting a business, what does it have to do with us?" ”
Bai Qian looked as a matter of course: "Because he recently planned to set up and invest in an e-sports club in Jiangcheng, of course, the main "Shushan", and he made a special trip to contact me a while ago." ”
Chi Zhusheng suddenly wandered, and after a long time, he whispered: "Okay, then go to Jiangcheng to have a look." ”
If you look closely, you will find that Chi Zhusheng can't hide a faint smile on his face. Maybe, people who have always carried "Shu Mountain" in their hearts will come back if they go around and around! While thinking, Chi Zhusheng stopped a taxi and rushed towards the train station with Bai Qian.
It's almost a three-hour drive from Kyoto to Ejo, and the two of them, who bought tickets late at night, fell asleep on the train.
As soon as the sky was bright, the two arrived in Jiangcheng.
Just in time for the hot and dry weather in July, the temperature in the southern part of Ejo and Kyoto can be said to be very different. Although it was still early in the morning, the sultry air had already made Chi Zhusheng a little unbearable.
The two did not delay, called a taxi, and rushed straight to the destination.
Walking down from the taxi, Chi Zhusheng raised his hand to cover the dazzling sunlight, and the big words "Duchen E-sports Club" in front of him shook him a little dizzy.
Bai Qian, who was following closely, did not interrupt Chi Zhusheng, whose gaze was constantly moving, and just looked at him quietly. The last time Chi Zhusheng saw a regular e-sports club should have been seven years ago, when Qi Xianshang was still an office building, and the scale was far from comparable to the dozen or so buildings in front of him.
"Let's go." Taking a deep breath, Chi Zhusheng called Bai Qian behind him and strode towards the building.
The two people who had just walked into the building were stopped by the security guards: "The two of you stopped, Duchen is temporarily closed to the public, did you have an appointment before?" ”
Without waiting for Chi Zhusheng to speak, Bai Qian stepped forward: "Please go and report to Mr. Duan, and say that Bai Qian is coming to him." ”
"No need to report it, let them in." The two of them looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a familiar figure came from upstairs, it was Duan Mingyu, the owner of this club, who was undoubtedly it.
The security guards hurriedly let him go, and Chi Zhusheng walked in behind Bai Qian.
"It's not convenient to talk here, go to my office and talk about it." Duan Mingyu looked at the two of them and spoke first.
Nodding, the three of them walked towards the second floor.
Walking into the office, Duan Mingyu moved two chairs and looked at Bai Qian: "Why did you suddenly figure it out and want to come to my team?" It just so happens that I will give you ten times the salary that the fairy gave you! As he spoke, his eyes swept towards Chi Zhusheng intentionally or unintentionally, constantly retrieving information in his brain, and a terrifying answer suddenly appeared in his mind, making him unable to believe it.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Duan Mingyu then asked Bai Qian: "Who is this?" ”
Bai Qian patted Duan Mingyu on the shoulder: "I don't blame you if I can't recognize it, after all, I haven't seen him for seven years, and he has changed a lot in the past seven years." ”
"This is Chi Zhusheng."
Duan Mingyu heard Bai Qian's personal confirmation, and bounced up directly from the chair: "He...... Is he Chi Zhusheng? Seeing Chi Zhusheng smiling and nodding on the side, Duan Mingyu couldn't stop clapping his hands, and a smile bloomed on his face: "With the two of you, let alone achieving good results in the points competition, even if you are the champion, you have a chance!" ”
Bai Qian's strength, there is no need to say much. The most stable No. 4 position in the entire "Shushan", even in the professional arena where the strong are like clouds and the update and iteration are extremely fast, there is no doubt about it. And who is Chi Zhusheng? Let's not mention that Duan Mingyu understood his horror as early as seven years ago, let's just say that it was the live broadcast of He Tu just now, and he watched it without any difference. Playing heads-up games with the recognized strongest heads-up players, not only does not fall behind at all, but it can even be said that he firmly suppresses He Tu's head, such a strength, no one will underestimate it!
With these two as the cornerstone of the team, Duchen will definitely become a strong contender for the championship team.
"Don't get excited." Looking at Duan Mingyu, who had a strong reaction to Chi Zhusheng, Bai Qian smiled and grabbed him: "Salary or something, you always know that I don't care, this time I come to your club, we still have some other requirements." ”
Duan Mingyu didn't hesitate at all: "Just mention any request, I can meet it, there is absolutely no ambiguity!" ”
Bai Qian and Chi Zhusheng glanced at each other, looked at Bai Qian and nodded, Chi Zhusheng said: "First point, for joining your team, the two of us have to personally formulate tactics and design training, that is, we don't need a coach. Duan Mingyu on the side readily agreed: "Okay." ”
In this era when the professional system has fully matured, a team is definitely not just five starters and two substitutes. Team managers, coaches, analysts, equipment builders, and each team also has its own subordinate guild to provide various in-game resources for its team. It can be said that in today's era of extremely perfect competitive environment, any part of this is indispensable for any team.
And Duan Mingyu didn't hesitate, he agreed to the request that these two people didn't need a team coach, which was enough to see how much he trusted these two.
"The second point is that we don't have excessive salary requirements, but at the same time, we don't want to waste our time with too many endorsements." Glancing at Bai Qian, Chi Zhusheng continued to add: "An annual salary of 300,000 is the minimum requirement. ”
Duan Mingyu's hearty laughter suddenly sounded: "No problem! I will ask for your opinions on all endorsements, and as long as the two of you say a 'no', I will make the manager reject it immediately! ”
Seeing that Duan Mingyu agreed so happily, Chi Zhusheng didn't beat around the bush, and directly said the third request: "The last request, the name of the team, must be called Yaohua!" ”
Duan Mingyu, who had always been neat and crisp, suddenly frowned, but did not immediately refuse. If he were the owner of any other team, he would have already turned his face at this time, but Duan Mingyu would not. He's also been a gamer with a lot of dreams, and he's a top player who is on the verge of a professional player, and he knows very well that these two people in front of him are the best candidates to win the championship.
Seeing that Duan Mingyu was in thought, Bai Qian said on the side: "This name is the most important thing for Chi Zhusheng. The first two conditions are not as important as one-tenth of the name. If you refuse, then we'll have to find another way. ”
As soon as they came up, Chi Zhusheng and Bai Qian's conditions were a bit harsh, whether it was the condition that the coach did not need to interfere with the team personnel, or the condition that did not accept endorsements that affected the interests of the team, Duan Mingyu agreed very simply. Because of money, he earns enough, but the championship is not something that money can buy.
Gritting his teeth, Duan Mingyu opened his mouth and said: "The abbreviation of the club is added in front of the game ID, and the team name is as you wish, which is also my biggest concession!" ”
"No problem!" Chi Zhusheng's response was equally crisp and neat. The three of them looked at each other and began to laugh.
"Then it's decided, for our championship, from now on!"
"For our champions!"
