Speaking of which, He Lei and Qin Yushu are also seriously considering the issue of selling Xu Rui.

No way, as a club, they always have to run it.

Chang An deliberately waited for a moment before continuing: "Moreover, I have been thinking about it this season, from the cards, we have Han Xuan, Yang Jun, and Xu Rui...... The three All-Stars, with such a luxurious lineup, are among the best in the league. But not to mention the results in the top three or the top few, it will not fall into the relegation zone, right? ”

"As you know, before the start of the season, the worst-case scenario we assessed was to make the playoffs in a worse place! Demote? This situation is really not expected. ”

"Even, not being able to make the playoffs is a consequence that we can't accept, right?"

He Lei and Qin Yushu both nodded.

Indeed, with the financial burden of the century, entering the playoffs is almost a necessary condition to ensure the continued maintenance of the club.

But as it stands, although the league has only just begun, it is already in jeopardy.

Even, with the performance of these rounds, say that they can make the playoffs in the century?

I'm afraid no one will believe it!

In this regard, He Lei is the manager of the club, so naturally he can't shirk his responsibility, so he stood up suddenly, "Boss, I'm sorry, I betrayed your trust." ”

Chang An waved his hand, "Now is not the time to hold accountable. ”

"I have a good hand, but I don't play well-" Chang An continued, "so I wondered, should the century also change?" ”

"We've been sticking to it for so many years. It didn't lead to good results. ”

He Lei and Qin Yushu both understood what Chang An meant.

As the saying goes, when you are poor, you think about change. The century is almost at the end of the road, and there is indeed a need for change.

Xu Rui has served as the captain of the century for many years. He is indeed very meritorious, he is very hard-working, he is respected by everyone in the century, and fans see him as the only hope for the club's resurgence.

But all of this can't change the fact that Xu Rui has been the captain for several years, and the results of the century have always been bad!

Since it has been proved that Xu Rui is not good, he even deliberately acquired Han Xuan and Yang Jun, but he failed to help Xu Rui reverse the situation...... So why not consider a radical change?

In particular-

When there was a very generous price in front of Chang An.

It seemed like a natural thing to do......

Anyway. Century also had the experience of selling the captain!

He Lei and Qin Yushu were silent, both of them thinking carefully about the pros and cons.

To be honest, emotionally, the two are really reluctant to sell Xu Rui; But purely from the pros and cons, it seems that they have all been persuaded by Chang An.

He Lei pondered: "I think we have to consider the reaction of fans." For so many years, Xu Rui has been their idol and spiritual pillar. If I knew that we sold Xu Rui, I am afraid that I would be very angry. ”

Esports clubs are supported by fans, whether it is ticket revenue, broadcast fee income, or even sponsorship fees...... In fact, it is all based on fan support!

If it is because of the sale of Xu Rui. angered the fans of the century, and always felt that some gains outweighed the losses......

Chang An said: "I have also considered this. However, most fans are even angrier. It should still be a matter of grades. As long as they can give them hope, then even if Xu Rui is sold, he will lose some fans. It will also be able to win more fans. ”

"What's more—"

"Even with their support, isn't it time for the century to be unsustainable? Why not take a gamble? ”

This is also Chang'an's character!

Just as it was when the century was created. When the e-sports industry was just starting out and everything was still unclear, he did not hesitate to put all his net worth into it, and everyone thought he was crazy, but in fact, it was he who laughed.

Founded the century, joined the league, won two championships in a row, and won glory that is difficult for others to achieve.

Of course, this is an example of a gamble.

There are also failures -

In the fourth season, Chang An fell out with Han Yu, and when Han Yu was about to leave, Chang An also signed the contract and sold Han Yu despite everyone's opposition.

Regardless of the rights and wrongs of both sides, however, Han Yu was sold, which also opened the dark age of the century......

Until now, I haven't been able to turn over!

Is it going to start gambling again this time?

Qin Yushu estimated economically, "If the Xu team is sold, I am afraid it will cause a wave of ticket refunds, and the sponsor will definitely withdraw...... In this case, it will also be a fatal blow to our economy. The income of 30 million seems to be a lot, but according to the convention, this income must be paid in installments, and there may even be some attached, such as the number of appearances in the future, performance, the number of championships won, and so on. ”

"So, I think 30 million will ease our financial situation, but if we want the club to survive, I'm afraid we need to do something else."

He Lei thought for a while, "After all, the league has just begun, and at present, there are ......not many players of Xu Rui's weight who may run away in the league."

"And—" Qin Yushu added, "even if there is, the other party will definitely ask for a high price." ”

Chang An said: "What if it's just Han Xuan and Yang Jun? ”

He Lei was not very optimistic, shook his head and said: "After all, Han Xuan and Yang Jun have just transferred, and our fans of the century do not have a high recognition of them. In addition, this season, the performance of the two of them is difficult to say highlight, and I am afraid it will be difficult to replace Xu Rui. ”

This kind of succession is not technical, but also the recognition of fans.

At least for now, it is impossible for the fans of Century to take Xu Rui's place with the two of them.

This is also one of the more troublesome aspects of this kind of club......

In many cases, when considering problems, it is impossible to consider only the economy and pros and cons, and the reactions of fans must be estimated.

"So, there must be a new weighty player joining, right......" Chang An frowned.

He Lei said: "We can ask Chaoshen to pay all at once." ”

Chang An looked at Qin Yushu.

Qin Yushu thought for a while, "It seems that Chaoshen's intention to acquire is still very strong, and if we propose that we must pay the full amount, it may be achieved." However, it is possible that Chaoshen may take the opportunity to reduce the price. ”

There's no way around it......

"The price should be reduced in full." Chang An said decisively.

Qin Yushu nodded and wrote it down, "Okay." ”

But this is only a slight relief. 30 million may seem like a lot, but how high is the operating cost of a club? If nothing else, the salaries of those players alone are already a very high number.

For example, Han Xuan's annual salary plus bonus is about 3 million; Yang Jun is similar to her.

In this way, after deducting the necessary operating expenses, there is actually not much left...... (To be continued.) )
