Chapter 48: How to Choose?
Could it be said
Zhang Hengyi forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart at this time, he already roughly understood what the manager meant, but he still suppressed the excitement in his heart, reached out and took the new contract handed over by the manager, and looked carefully page by page.
From now on, the contract between the LOL branch of WE Club and LOL player Zhang Hengyi will be extended from February 2014 to February 2017, and the contract amount will be increased from a monthly basic salary of 10,000 yuan, including food, accommodation and 5% of the event bonus, to a monthly basic salary of 10,000 yuan, including 15% of the food, accommodation and event bonuses. ’
"This, this, this ......"
Although Zhang Hengyi had expected in his heart that when the value he showed far exceeded that of ordinary professional players, the club would definitely give him a salary increase to retain himself, even in the entire world e-sports circle, he was regarded as the top player.
But judging from the current situation, he still underestimates the importance that the club attaches to him and his own value......
"Haha! That's right! That's 40,000! You read that right, haha, how's it going, it's a little unexpected, right? Our club has a lot of money, right? The base salary has quadrupled! The prize money was tripled!! I Pei Le dare to pack tickets, this level of welfare, even if it is in the world, it is one of the best! ”
King's words at this moment are really well-deserved, after all, at this time in early 2014, let's not talk about international. In China alone, even with the wealth of the royal family and IG Wang, the monthly basic salary of ordinary e-sports players fluctuates between 6000-1W.
As for the star players with high popularity such as Strawberry Smile, PDD Child, Promise Curly, and Big Brother Elixir, the monthly income is not counting bonus money or anything, and it is only worth more than 10,000 yuan, and there is never a monthly basic salary of more than 2W, you must know that even if it is a royal team that shines in the S3 season, its monthly salary is difficult to satisfy the players in their team.
At that time, it was after the royal family defeated the OMG team that also belonged to China in the S3 quarterfinals. TABE, who is the captain of the royal family. In an interview with foreign media, he once revealed that his monthly income was only 6,000 yuan because he was about to retire!
Therefore, at this time, the monthly salary of 40,000 yuan offered by WE to Zhang Hengyi was at this time period at the beginning of 2014. It can be said that it is really very high. It's very sincere!!
Plus food and lodging, up to 15% of the prize money of the event. There are also various benefits of the club and so on, this kind of treatment conditions, at the end of S3. It can be said that it is difficult to find lanterns all over the world!
Of course, this also reflects Zhang Hengyi's own value at this time, otherwise the top management of the WE club is not a fool, how can they give such a high salary to anyone for nothing? And it's three years to sign it?!
After all, Zhang Hengyi at this time, not only is his strength already considered by all domestic LOL players to be a well-deserved domestic No. 1 mid-laner, but even according to the level of strength he is showing now, it is not impossible to compete with or even better than the Korean Faker, who is known as the world's No. 1 mid-laner!
Coupled with the position of mid laner, it is really too important for the S4 version and the overall strength of the whole team, so at this time, the WE club gave Zhang Hengyi this high-level salary, even if it is the first case of high salary in the country, it can be said that WE has made a lot of money!
After all, the basic salary of 40,000 yuan per month does sound extremely scary, but if it is also for whom, if it is for today's domestic e-sports circle, the most dazzling and the most powerful player TAN, it is definitely well-deserved!
If you think about it, with a salary of less than 50W in a year, you can firmly compete for the world's No. 1 midlaner and stay as the captain of WE for three years!!
This deal! No matter how you calculate it, WE makes a lot of money!!
"Uh...... This, the salary is indeed a bit unexpected to me, and I didn't expect our club to value me so much, but wasn't it only one year before this contract period? Why ...... now?"
Although I have to say that for Zhang Hengyi, who is burdened with millions of huge debts at this time, a monthly salary of 40,000 yuan can indeed solve his urgent need, if you add the income of the Taobao store that he and Eveleia co-opened, then I believe that it will not take a few months to pay off all the debts of his family!
This contract time
Three years! Isn't that a bit too long?
After all, for an e-sports player who eats youth, the career that is really in the golden period is only a few short years, and now he is 20 years old, if he really signed this three-year contract with WE, wouldn't it be ......
As an e-sports player, the most brilliant and peak time, I have to spend the next time in the WE team?
So when he thought of this, Zhang Hengyi couldn't help but hesitate, after all, the reason why he chose to take the road of e-sports was not to make money or anything, but for the dream in his heart!
For the biggest, and at the same time the most glorious world stage!!
For the last, and at the same time the most important one
Overall Champion of the S4 World Finals!!
Only Zhang Hengyi, who was reborn from his previous life, understood that in S4 China, he finally passed by the final champion, or gave the championship to the Koreans!
But since God sent Zhang Hengyi back to S3 again, it is impossible for Zhang Hengyi to sit idly by, and the world champion of S4 will be given by the Koreans again!!
But with the strength of the WE team today, it is difficult to achieve true dominance even in the domestic LPL league. swept all the other LPL teams and won all the titles, so what about the Korean team that is stronger and has a more complete esports system?
Therefore, once the three-year contract is signed, it means that Zhang Hengyi will definitely be firmly tied to the WE team, so if there is any turmoil in the WE team, then himself
"Three years...... This is also set by the top management of our club, after all, it was WE who first discovered Ah Yi you, and also provided you with a stage to show your strength, and gave Ah Yi such a high salary. Naturally, the club also has its own worries. I will also worry that there will be other clubs to poach people, so wouldn't the club's loss be even greater?
So...... Ah Yi, if you really want this high salary, then the three-year contract time must not be changed! ”
King is on the side of the club. This is not unreasonable. After all, the club has put so much effort into it. With such a large cost, the talent that has been cultivated with great difficulty is only signed for one year. So what if the player chooses to transfer after the contract expires?
Wouldn't the club lose a lot of money in this way??
So what King said at this time is also reasonable, not taking advantage of the situation to bully Zhang Hengyi or what, after all, the club is also a profit-making organization, so it is completely human nature to have worries and practices in this regard.
"Hmm...... I can understand the club's concerns."
Zhang Hengyi also understood at this time that the club's approach was understandable, but when he looked at the illegal regulations on this new contract, and then looked at the sky-high compensation calculated according to the annual salary multiple, he couldn't help but hesitate.
After all, once he signed this contract, it would be impossible for him to afford the amount of liquidated damages on this new contract, which also means that if he wants to quit WE halfway and switch to other teams, the possibility is almost infinite
After the contract is signed by both parties and takes effect, if either party tears up the contract without authorization due to its own reasons, Party A and Party B must follow the time limit of the contract signing, according to the amount marked in the contract, multiply 12 yuan (12 months in a year) by 10,000 yuan (basic salary paid by Party A to Party B every month), a total of 80,000 yuan (lowercase: 480,000 yuan) as the compensation amount for that year.
The total amount of compensation is three (three years for the duration of the contract) multiplied by 80,000 yuan (the basic salary paid by Party A to Party B every year), totaling 10,000 yuan. (lowercase: 1.44 million RMB)
If Party A (WE E-sports Game Club) breaks the contract without authorization, Party A shall pay Party B a total compensation amount of RMB 10,000,000, regardless of the actual contract time between the two parties. (lowercase: 1.44 million RMB)
If Party B (Zhang Hengyi) breaks the contract without authorization, Party B shall pay Party A a total compensation amount of RMB 10,000 to Party A, plus double the amount of all amounts obtained by Party A except for the basic salary, and pay Party A as the total compensation amount for the breach of contract, regardless of the actual contract time between the two parties and whether the agreed contract time is reached.
A total of 10,000 RMB, plus during the contract period between the two parties, Party B will receive double the amount of compensation from Party A. ’
After all, although the compensation for violations is both parties, if WE unilaterally terminates the contract without authorization, then even if he has only served in the WE team for one year and only received a year's salary, WE has to pay himself a one-time compensation of up to 144W.
But in the same way, if you unilaterally breach the contract, then you not only need to pay a one-time compensation of up to 1.44 million yuan to WE, but also have to spit out all the income obtained from the WE team during the contract period, including event bonuses, in double form, and then return it to the WE team......
"This ...... Manager, after all, this is a major event related to the future development of my life, and I, I still have to discuss it with my parents first......"
No wonder the WE team dares to offer themselves such a high base salary, it turns out that they are directly on the contract, which limits all their possibilities for job hopping!
Therefore, when Zhang Hengyi was faced with such an important matter at this time, he did not dare to make a decision without authorization, but was ready to discuss it with his parents first, after all, the basic salary of up to 40,000 yuan per month, and the millions of liquidated damages that need to be compensated at one time after WE unilaterally breaches the contract.
The temptation of this welfare package is really too big for Zhang Hengyi, who has millions of debts at this time
"Ah Yi! If you need it, I can even help you apply, and you can ask the club to pay you an annual salary for one year in advance, as long as you can play in our WE with peace of mind. ”
King looked at Zhang Hengyi's expression that seemed to be a little hesitant at this time, so he directly threw this bombshell, but this was when he knew that Zhang Hengyi's family situation was not very optimistic when he advanced Zhang Hengyi's salary of 20,000 yuan before, and he was already ready to throw the last hole card at a critical time.
"Huh? Is this okay? Well...... I see, thank you manager for your kindness, I will definitely consider it carefully! ”
Zhang Hengyi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect the manager to even take this aspect into account, so he was moved, but he was really heavy in his heart, and for a while, he didn't know what to do......
So what exactly is between their own dreams and the cruel reality
How do I choose??? (To be continued......)
