Chapter 110: 20 million additional signing fee
Life is always about choices.
Will you go to the Golden Grand Prix as a player, or will you return to the Super League stage as a commentator?
Due to the conflicting schedules of the two competitions, it was impossible to do both, and Xue Chen could only choose one of the two.
In terms of personal wishes, Xue Chen prefers the Super League, after all, it is the highest level of competition in China, equivalent to the LPL of Planet D, and this invitation is also a significant playoffs, which is directly linked to the S5 World Finals two months later.
If you perform well, it is not without hope to be in the commentary seat of the World Finals.
In comparison, the Golden Grand Prix is not so much a competition, but rather an anchor capture the flag conference, mainly with the old turtle, Wushuang such a big anchor to lead the formation of a team to participate, staged a vigorous rookie pecking each other, even if there is a former world champion like An Dou Heizai to participate, it can improve the level of competition to a certain extent, and the entertainment nature accounts for at least more than eighty percent.
Xue Chen's preference for the Super League is also human nature.
However, if you want to be on the Super League stage, you have to get the consent of the sharks first.
The last time we commented on the Super League, it was the Sharks who acted as intermediaries.
In view of the good evaluation that Xue Chen received last time, this time the official skipped the shark and directly found Xue Chen himself.
However, even if it is an official invitation, it does not mean that Xue Chen can hide from the sky and skip the shark to explain the Super League.
That's the contractual limit.
The contract signed by Xue Chen and Shark included a brokerage contract, one of which was that Party A's consent was required to attend any public event of a commercial nature.
Just like the stars in the entertainment industry, they can't go privately behind the back of the brokerage company, which is a breach of contract, which will be suppressed at least and followed legal procedures at worst.
Of course, with Xue Chen's current commercial value, it is impossible for the shark to fall out with him because of this trivial matter.
The store is a big bully, and the customer is a big bully.
The spear and shield are always mutual, Party A and Party B, whoever has enough confidence is the father.
However, despite this, when Xue Chen negotiated with the platform, the other party still held objections.
It's not all for the platform, according to Shark, it's good to occasionally appear in the official league, which is of great benefit to improving the streamer's style and image, and it's also a rare thing for fans, but if the cameo becomes a permanent and too exposed, it will do more harm than good.
It is indeed not alarmist, with Xue Chen's current popularity, there is no need to rub the heat of the game at all, if it is not self-defeating, his own popularity will be sucked away.
No matter how strong your business ability is as a streamer, in terms of attractiveness and viewability, it can't compare with the Super League built with the power of the whole league.
In order to make Xue Chen change his mind, a vice president of Shark personally came forward, in addition to persuading him to give up the Super League to participate in the Golden Grand Prix, in the process of communication, he also revealed a shocking message to him, and now the platform is negotiating with a Super League club to acquire the matter, and it is currently going very smoothly, and there is great hope that it can be negotiated.
Definitely a bombshell!
Xue Chen could imagine how much shock the industry would cause once this matter was negotiated.
The live broadcast platform has entered the Super League, which has no precedent before.
Not to mention that they don't have it in this world, not even Planet D, including Douyu Huya and the bankrupt Panda, there has never been a live broadcast platform that has entered the LPL in the form of a team, and at most it is a sponsorship partnership.
"Which one are you talking about?"
Xue Chen asked for the details of the acquisition, but Vice President Liu sold Guanzi, leaving only one sentence in the top four in the spring game.
Turtle tortoise?
If the person who said this was not the vice president of the shark, Xue Chen would definitely regard the other party as a keyboard warrior who bragged and didn't make drafts, and Lao Tzu was still the heir of the hidden family!
You know, it's a second-tier Super League team, and you can't get it without tens of millions of operating expenses in a year.
The wholly-owned acquisition of the top four clubs in the Super League has just been financed and has a lot of money!
Xue Chen remembered that a month ago, the shark took the initiative to throw money at him, as long as he was willing to add another year to the contract period, he could get a new signing fee of 20 million.
The shark's argument is that they didn't expect their popularity to rise so quickly, and the original signing fee of 5 million was too low, which was considered compensation for the previous one, and both parties were happy after the signing.
From this point of view, Shark is quite kind and did not let its anchors eat grass and milk.
A business giant on Planet D once said that there are many reasons for employees to leave, and only two points are the most true: 1. The money is not in place; 2. The heart has been wronged.
In order to prevent Xue Chen from having a different heart, the shark was quite generous.
In the live broadcast industry, which is seriously tilted, digging the foot of the wall has never stopped, even if Xue Chen has no idea of changing jobs, the shark has to take precautions and take precautions.
This is a positive textbook, and there are negative textbooks as well, and it is a living example within the esports industry.
On Planet D, there is a Beethoven player nicknamed the Grim Reaper in the middle lane, who once said to his team boss Dong Xiaosa when he was playing LSPL: Why give me a salary of 6,000 and let me give you a place in the relegation match with millions of dollars?
Eventually, the team was relegated and millions of LSPL spots were burned.
It's very philistine, and it's real.
Xue Chen went to the Pearl River to raise the salary of the players, in fact, it is the inspiration from this case, as a boss, you can't want the horses to run, but also to the horses not to eat grass.
People who play relegation games are too low in salary, and if you want to hit the Super League, how can you have enough money?
Although Xue Chen is young, he also knows that in this world, the most untentative thing is human nature.
"Xiaoxing, think about the additional contract we proposed, I know you have the idea of playing professionally, after the acquisition is completed, you can come to our own team at any time to register and play, and the professional live broadcast is not wrong, isn't it beautiful?"
Vice President Liu brought up the old matter again.
It has to be said that this condition is extremely tempting.
Not to mention the additional 20 million signing fee, you can still play in the Super League at any time, the money is earned, and you can live the addiction of a top professional player.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many lessons from the past on Planet D, and the family was bankrupt after being compensated by the platform's routine, Xue Chen might have followed.
The additional 20 million is tempting, but once he thinks of the sky-high default fee, he doesn't dare not be intimidated.
The total signing fee of 25 million is 75 million when it is lost!
Now that he is focused on the competition, Xue Chen can't guarantee that he will be so peaceful for the next three years.
If it's just 15 million breach of contract fees, not to mention the next family, Xue Chen can earn it himself, and the salary in July alone plus the income from the war mystery is close to 3 million.
However, if it is 75 million, not to mention that he can't earn it in a year and a half, even if he wants to take over the next family, he has to weigh it carefully.
Although Xue Chen loves money, he doesn't plan to be cocooned and block his future path.
In the past, in order to treat his mother's illness, he had no choice, but now it is different from the past, after accumulating a certain amount of capital, Xue Chen already has a considerable degree of autonomy.
Personal autonomy, financial autonomy, and career autonomy.
In life, isn't the pursuit of autonomy?
