Chapter 225: Returning Home (2-in-1)
Even Niko, who had just been taken away by Lip in Miami, came up to ask if there was any possibility of cooperation between the two sides, and Lipp said with a smile, "Maybe at some point we will play together, but not now, I still have unfinished business!" ”
And not only Niko, but also G2's card Lao Si came to work, he Aite Li Pu on social media, accompanied by a picture of a blank check, which means that as long as Li Pu agrees, the amount of the check can be filled in by himself.
For these, Li Pu, who was in the center of the storm, did not care, now his top priority is to achieve the return of the dragon, his offseason has arrived, enjoying a moment of peace in the morning, Li Pu bought a ticket back to China on April 18, his thoughts have drifted to the warmth of home.
And the day after Lip returned to the Liquid LA base, that is, on April 16, the Ukrainian giant's natural winner released a retirement farewell video for veteran Edward, and a generation of legends ended, and then released a welcome video for the Latvian berserkers to join the team.
The nineteen-year-old Yakanda promised in the video that he would help NAVI win the championship this year, and even paraphrased Lip's speech when he joined the liquid, which is obviously a bit rampant for a newcomer, but considering that he said on social media that his idol is Lip, fans' expectations for him have skyrocketed, and perhaps he is the best helper for Mori Po and Brother Electronics.
Another sudden change of formation is FAZE, who just broke in Miami, they directly delegated the command AdreN to believe in brother, firefighters are just firefighters after all, when the team is not good, the Kazakh becomes a backstabber, after all, the contracts of other players are long-term and large, and from the fans and other aspects, the big gold tooth is not advantageous against any of the other four players.
MAJORMVP OF 17 KRAKOW believes that his brother and the team have broken up unhappily, this cooperation between the two sides is a failure, he is no longer young at the age of twenty-nine, and the road to job hunting is long, maybe joining a team with the old and the new is his best destination.
When Lip saw the news, he went directly to look at the lineup of the CIS team AVANGER, the pheasant from Uzbekistan has taken Fitch's place, and the thin man who played the big brother position in the Syman club did not know that he would become the mobile blood bank of God James in the future, serving as a cow and a horse for the team.
As for the young player KrizzeN, he should be replaced by the job-seeking Believe brother, after all, in a sense, AVANGER can also be called a Kazakhstan team, AdreN's honor will add a lot of points to him, and the AVANGER club is also in urgent need of an honor to pull sponsorship and alleviate its financial crisis.
THIS LINEUP ADJUSTMENT COULD ALLOW AVANGER TO REACH HIS PEAK IN ANOTHER TIMELINE, THE RUNNER-UP OF THE 19TH BERLIN MAJOR, THE SECOND TEAM IN THE WORLD, BUT IT IS NOT EASY TO SAY ON THIS TIMELINE, LIP THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, AND CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON THE NEWS OF PRICKLY HEAT CRANE.
They urgently summoned the Polish god of war NEO, the thirty-one-year-old Neo has not found a job after the disbandment of the Polish White Bear VP last year, as the first person in the CS1.6 period, it can be said that all the young players of GO basically grew up watching Neo's games, this candidate can convince players and fans alike, he still has gas in the tank, and there is no better big player on the market than him, and the superstar at the end of his career is also a superstar.
It's clear that Crane is in the throes of his own again, but there is still a month and a half before the start of IEM Sydney, which is enough for them to have a training camp. This time, Crane summoned Neo not to be the conductor, but to teach him the secret of the team's victory. It had been a while since the Galactic Battleship had tasted victory, and the club and the players were in a state of anxiety, they no longer knew how to win, it was a very confused state, and how to get out of it became the key.
As for the command of the team, it was Niko himself who put on the field, and the Bosnian still wanted to lead his teammates through himself to win, and he was fed up with the days of obeying the command under the command of others.
And that afternoon, the famous sports agent Jeff Schwartz's EXCEL Sports Company learned Lip's contact information from somewhere, and directly launched an offer to Lip, they wanted to negotiate with Lip about his brokerage contract, preferably with them to be Lip's agent, so that they could negotiate the next contract with Liquid.
With the growth of esports, more and more people are looking to this field. The huge commercial value of Li Pu is visible to the naked eye, and everyone wants a piece of the huge market in China, which is almost the same as traditional sports. Although Jeff Schwartz doesn't understand CSGO, he knows it's a lucrative thing, so he personally lobbied Lip in person, which can be described as full of sincerity.
Lip naturally won't refuse, he also checked the company and Jeff Schwartz before agreeing to negotiate, this guy can be said to have a brilliant resume, in addition to NBA, NFL stars, even Tiger Woods is their service object, can be called a well-known ace agent.
Bringing a liquid club's legal counsel, Lip came to the agreed place in advance, in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, but Lip found that Jeff Schwartz came earlier than himself, this is a classic white elite, from the suit to the tie to the leather shoes are meticulous, after seeing Lip came up directly a hug, enthusiastic but not excessive, very decent, he also brought a few assistants to wait.
The first impression of this ace economist was not bad, Li Pu talked to him, and made it clear that his overseas endorsement and other contracts can be handed over to them to operate, but the premise is to ensure that his interests are not damaged, which both parties have no objection to, and the next thing is about the contract sharing, this Li Pu is completely handed over to the legal counsel to negotiate.
After some verbal arguments, Li Pu signed his name on the contract, and his first request for the agent was to help him find a suitable next home, but not to transfer right now, just to prepare first, he had a hunch that liquid would not be his final destination, after all, this is not his team.
"Let's celebrate!" Jeff Schwartz handed Lipp the champagne brought by his assistant, "Please take a seat, I'll invite you this time!" ”
As night fell, the group sat down at the big round table and began to order, apparently the eight-figure agent hadn't eaten much Chinese food, but he didn't want to be too ignorant, so he ordered Zuo Zongtang chicken and Li Hongzhang chop like a veteran.
In fact, people who love to eat Chinese food will hardly order these strange dishes.
Li Pu saw through it without saying anything, smiled and ordered fried noodles and dumplings and a few stir-fried dishes, he had been to this restaurant many times before, the taste was quite authentic, and the price was not too expensive, perhaps because he was a Chinese talent who chose this location.
OF COURSE, LIP'S CONTRACT IS NOT CHECKED BY THE ACE AGENT, BUT BY HIS ASSISTANTS AND EXCEL SPORTS.
And after Lip returned to the base after eating a full meal, the fermentation of public opinion about Lip's previous interview intensified, and Jon, the esports manager of the Liquid Club, finally knocked on the door of Lip's room, "Lip, I think we have to talk." ”
“OK! What do you want to talk about? Li Pu followed him to the office and sat down, he already knew what he was looking for this time, after all, his performance in the past few months was refreshing people's cognitive limits. Normally, if there is such a player in the club, he will definitely want to tie him firmly to his chariot.
"I think the club and you should have a long-term relationship, and I think you know that we've done almost everything we can in the last few months! Maybe we can talk about your next contract? Jon poured a glass of water for Lip, he knew Lip's healthy diet, and he knew that Lip didn't drink coffee.
"Why not? Maybe you can talk to my agent! Li Pu handed over a business card with the phone number of the EXCEL company, which is one of the reasons why he quickly signed the brokerage contract, and it was the best choice to leave professional things to professional people, so that these troubles would not interfere with him, and in fact he had already made a decision in his heart.
On the second day of the contract renewal, a blockbuster news was hung on the front page of major forums.
"Liquid Prince A Chicken Real Hammer, After Winning the Championship, He Was Rewarded with Shares by the Club", this news pointed out the identity of a chicken as the cornerstone of the liquid team, and also beat other players, which really makes people understand what the purpose is, after all, the biggest contributor to winning the championship is Li Pu, and the rest of the team also has their own play.
The most important thing is that a chicken has become a liquid shareholder is unimaginable, it's like liquid has become his club, and the players are also working for him to a certain extent, and the identity has changed, you must know that this is liquid, and it can be called a behemoth in CSGO and even the e-sports circle, and a chicken's results are not dominantly higher than others inside, his MAJOR champion is not like the boss, and it is not the second to say that the second is not the second, it is difficult to convince other professional players.
When he saw the news, Li Pu said that it was false that he was not jealous, but if he thought of himself as a mercenary, and a chicken was a liquid descendant with red roots, it would make a lot of sense, Li Pu even had an urge to pull up a team to play a game by himself after that, but he still held back, he still had more than a year left in the liquid contract, and even if he bought it out at his own expense, he would need to pay a lot of money.
Fortunately, everyone else has already gone back to their respective homes, and Li Pu can imagine how awkward the atmosphere would be if everyone was still in the club. What do the two brothers of Maple Leaf Country, who are the second and third best performers, think? The fuse of the bomb explosion seems to have been planted just like that, and I don't know when it will blow this lineup to pieces.
After glancing at the time, it was fortunate that Li Pu himself was also on his way home, so let's wait for a month to talk about these things.
……
The way back is also cute.
When Li Pu returned home, it was already late at night on April 18, he hastily took a shower, and was about to fall asleep, but Twistzz did not let him go, and an international call came, "Brother Pu, are you leaving?" ”
"Russell, do you believe that? We still haven't won a Grand Slam yet! I'm not going to leave now, what's wrong? "That's what he asked," Li Pu said tiredly, this was what he really thought, but he couldn't figure out what the little brother meant.
"Now? Did you see the news? JOJO has a stake! So what are we? Why can't clubs treat everyone equally, it stands to reason that you deserve this kind of reward! Twistzz said indignantly, not for a chicken, but for the liquid high-rise to feel a little unfair.
"Yes, I think so too, but that's the way it is, we have to look forward." Lip yawned, lay on the bed with slightly squinted eyes, and said casually.
“NO! Brother Pu, you're going after the Grand Slam, aren't you? Then I will accompany you to fight until then, and then we will fight together! Twistzz said impulsively, seeing Lip as the best brother in the liquid, and wanted to advance and retreat together.
This was beyond Li Pu's expectations, and he quickly stabilized the little brother, "Maybe it will or may not, let's talk about it then." We still have to focus on the moment, how are you and your girlfriend? ”
"Well, this one, we're doing well, I'll send you a picture later. Then let's talk about it then, we must have a lot of people who want it, it's a big deal to go to Europe to fight! The hairstylist knew that Lip was changing the subject, but when he thought of his girlfriend who was in love with him, he had no choice but to give up.
“OKOK! Bye! Li Pu hung up the phone, put the phone down, and was thinking about sleeping, a violent vibration came from his hand, which made Li Pu's drowsiness reduce a lot, he scolded secretly, and when he picked up the phone, it turned out that Twistzz sent him an intimate photo of himself and his girlfriend.
"That's good!" Lip hurriedly replied, then threw his phone aside, and burrowed into the bed with his head covered, now even the destruction of the world could not interrupt his charging before sleeping.
Sleep until noon the next day, Li Pu woke up leisurely, he came back yesterday and told his parents not to worry about him that he was going to fall jet lag, otherwise according to his mother's personality, he would come over at half past seven to lift his quilt and tell him to get up and eat, this sleep is really pleasant, for Li Pu, even sinful, this is one of the few days since he was reborn in bed, maybe only after the last MAJOR won the championship when he returned home to have a fight.
After washing, eating a bowl of hot Wenshi rice noodles, Li Pu touched his stomach and lay on the chair lazily enjoying a wave of sunbathing, his head was empty, and everything was silent, such a wonderful day!
After his body warmed up, Li Pu exercised for a while, and then sat down in front of the computer to start completing today's daily training, these two things have long become his habits.
