"Ah, this is really a path that I never imagined, but if I'm not mistaken, a team in the LPL division can only bring in two Korean reinforcements at most, how can we be together?"

Lee Jae-wan was very interested in this proposal and asked her doubts.

"You don't understand that, do you?"

Pei Junzhi bared his teeth: "It was said that it was together, but it was not said that it was in one team, we could be in the same competition area, different teams." ”

“…… Awesome. ”

Chen Yiqiu gave a thumbs up.

This can indeed 'maximize benefits', if Pei Junzhi really wants to make money in the future, it will really be a pinch.

"As a player, I think we should care more about honors and achievements than these."

Lee Sang-hyuk, who had not spoken all this time, made a wave of presence out loud, and at the same time warned Bae Jun-sik and Lee Jae-wan.

Which end of the day are you two?

"Ahaha... Anyway, what to eat at the celebration banquet tonight, I've been looking forward to this championship dinner for a long time. ”

Lee Jae-wan immediately changed the topic and happily discussed what to eat.

There is a tradition within the SKT team every year... In fact, it is not traditional, after all, any team that wins the S championship will definitely celebrate.

Compared to other teams, SKT can only say that it is 'celebrated every year', which is a little more extravagant.

This year, the club chose a famous restaurant in Los Angeles to reward the players and management for a hard year.

Of course, the deeper meaning is actually more important.

- How to retain the current SKT championship team.

As Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang-hyuk discussed; The enthusiasm of the LPL region and other regions.

S6 has actually ended now, and the championship has fallen to SKT, so the process and preparation that should be done must be done in advance.

Otherwise, they may fall into passivity during the transfer period, until they lose their current SKT championship team.

Among them, whether Reaper renews the contract or not, and how well he is treated, are naturally ranked first.

But in addition to Chen Yiqiu, similar to Bang, Wolf, and even Faker, these are all superstars, although there are contracts in them, but if there is a real exchange between clubs, especially those top clubs, such as North American C9, it is not bad for this money at all.

Therefore, the celebration banquet after winning the championship is a part of SKT's efforts to stabilize the morale of the army, and there will be more communication with teammates later.

SKT people don't have time to pay attention to public opinion on the Internet and the direction of the wind in the circle at the moment, but everyone is not a newcomer, and once they win the triple crown, their own worth will skyrocket.

So each of them is also thinking and thinking in their hearts now, maybe only Faker's will is 100% firm.

In this way, at the celebration banquet that day, the management of the SKT club and Kkoma chatted with the SKT people one by one, and the results were definitely not so fast, but the initial intention and the club were moved by various feelings, and the 'benefit' was expressed.

……

Walking out of the room, Chen Yiqiu felt a little dizzy.

Everyone at SKT was happy tonight, and the Koreans like to have a few drinks when they are happy.

Although he drank specially bought sake from South Korea, Chen Yiqiu, a player who usually strictly prohibits alcohol, is still a bit superior.

Di Lingling.

The phone rang, and Chen Yiqiu was a little dumbfounded.

This phone was his 'personal phone', and the other was turned off long after winning the championship.

Because if he doesn't turn off the phone, the message prompt keeps ringing, and the phone keeps coming in, and he is a little too busy.

Which club can get the contact information of his private mobile phone?

Chen Yiqiu was curious and connected the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, is it a Reaper? I'm the person in charge of Huya's side, my surname is Chen, oops... Speaking of which, we are still our own family. ”

Live streaming platform?

Chen Yiqiu was stunned.

He thought it was a club, but he didn't expect that the first one to get through his private mobile phone would be a domestic live broadcast platform.

Huya naturally knew about it, and said politely: "Hello Mr. Chen, you are..."

"That's right, Yiqiu, we wanted to sign you to come over for a long time, but your previous live broadcast contract has not expired, and now your contract should expire, right? How about it, are you interested in coming to Huya Live next year? ”

Mr. Chen asked very directly.

He knew that Chen Yiqiu must be very busy now, and in order to get Chen Yiqiu's contact information, it can be said that he has used a lot of effort and made a lot of contacts.

Now if you can hurry, hurry up, and the grinding and chirping will be preempted by others.

"That's it, Mr. Chen, my live broadcast contract is indeed about to expire, but the live broadcast contract is tied to the team, so..."

Chen Yiqiu was not surprised by Huya's intention, and was ready to refuse after a brief explanation.

"Hehe, Yiqiu, don't worry, listen to our sincerity first."

Mr. Chen said earnestly: "You still don't know how much your current contract is worth, right?" ”

Hearing the sound, Chen Yiqiu didn't speak.

“…… So, I've sent you a document in your mailbox with some contract details, and you can see it, and for now, I'll be in charge, and if you agree tonight, we can agree on a verbal agreement at once. ”

"30 million, come to Huya for one year, 30 million contract, not three years and five years, 30 million a year, think about it?"

Chen Yiqiu's eyelids jumped when he heard this offer.

Although it has been expected, the price of Huya is indeed a bit outrageous.

Here is an explanation, although it is still in the bubble period of the live broadcast industry, the signing fee of big anchors is high one by one.

But as an insider, Chen Yiqiu knows the moisture and greasy inside.

There are two main points.

1. If the contract exceeds 10 million, it will definitely shrink by one-third.

For example, if an anchor breaks out a contract of 50 million, the figure of 50 million will be reduced by at least half, and 16 million will fluctuate.

2. The so-called tens of millions of contracts, live broadcast platforms have various requirements.

The simplest and most straightforward point – the number of years you have signed a contract.

'Annual salary' is a very bouncy word in the e-sports circle, 50 million a year is an annual salary, and 50 million for three years can also be claimed as an annual salary.

It only needs to weaken the number of years, and directly advertise that an anchor is worth 50 million, and an anchor platform spends tens of millions, or even the so-called hundreds of millions of sky-high prices to sign the anchor.

In fact, the live broadcast bubble does exist, but how can there be a fool in this world?

For a big platform like Douyu Huya, is the money all out of thin air?

In addition, there will be hard conditions on the contract, such as how many popularity, barrage, and even gifts must be met during the live broadcast, if not, the annual salary will be halved, or other aspects of treatment will be reduced.

It's more like a VAM contract.

In the past few years, there have been lawsuits and conflicts between anchors and live broadcast platforms, most of which are due to these issues.

Therefore, looking at the conditions given by Huya at this moment, to say an exaggerated word, this contract is already the top match in China, and there are no more than three people in the anchor who can get this contract.

"Yiqiu, we are really sincere and very optimistic about your future development. Of course, if you can return to the LPL in the new season, this number can still change... In short, I hope we can forge ahead together next year... I won't bother you, you can look at the contract details. ”

Mr. Chen did not waste time and behaved very 'reserved'.

This also stems from his confidence in the terms of the contract he has offered.

But anyone who knows how to do it knows that Huya is spending money this time.

For other people, this 30 million contract will give you a five-year period, plus various constraints, non-compete agreements and the like.

Calculated in this way, the so-called 30 million anchors actually have an annual salary of only 6 million.

"Okay."

Chen Yiqiu hung up the phone, and said in his heart that it was fake not to be moved.

In fact, he is still a little confused.

Not counting the team, not counting the money in the professional circle after that, just for the live broadcast, he can actually get a big contract of 30 million a year.

This... He thought that he would take off instantly after winning the championship, but he didn't expect the intensity of the take-off to be so terrifying.

"It's a good time to catch up, and in a few years, this money will be reduced by at least half... More than. ”

Chen Yiqiu secretly sighed.

He knows that the rise of the live broadcast bubble has been in the past two years, and in order to snatch the resources of big anchors, the major live broadcast platforms have turned people's heads into dog heads, and they don't want to spend money.

In another two years, with the bursting of the live broadcast bubble and the collapse of major live broadcast platforms, there will be no such favorable market environment at that time.

Of course, Chen Yiqiu also noticed Huya's other attitude.

"The treatment of returning to the LPL will be higher... Is this a cooperation between LPL officials and Huya, or is it just based on popularity..."

With Chen Yiqiu's current popularity in China, he thinks both should be possible.

"Hey, who are you talking to?"

Pei Junzhi, who was passing by, walked over, in fact, he saw it when Chen Yiqiu called just now, but he never came.

He waited until he hung up the phone before he came over.

"Oh, a call from a live streaming platform."

Chen Yiqiu had nothing to hide about this, because when he was eating just now, he had already heard Bae Jun-sik and Lee Jae-wan discussing these things.

Both of them received a lot of invitations and discussed comparisons with a few friends in private.

"Really? What do you think? ”

Sure enough, when he heard that it was not the team digging people, Pei Junzhi had no scruples, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

Chen Yiqiu briefly talked about the treatment, and Pei Junzhi slapped his thigh instantly.

"Assi! 30 million? Or the yuan?! ”

"It's a big deal!"

He was really shocked.

In the past, SKT has always been an anchor on the mouse channel, and although there are broadcasts in China, the money is actually not so much.

Until winning the championship this year, perhaps because of Chen Yiqiu, SKT is now very popular among the Chinese, and he and Lee Jaewan have received several offers from live streaming platforms not long ago.

It's probably between 10 million and 1,000.

Listening to Chen Yiqiu's statement now, he instantly felt that all he smelled in his nose was the smell of copper—he had been wrapped in money.

"It's... This has to be promised, this money is too much, it would be too much loss not to agree! ”

Pei Junzhi chattered: "Anyway, your live broadcast contract is not deeply bound, you can sign it alone, with your current value, those teams should be fine." ”

"By the way, did Huya only talk to you? Didn't mention us? ”

Chen Yiqiu glanced at him and saw that Pei Junzhi was now completely 'convinced' by Huya, and had the idea of being a companion with Chen Yiqiu.

"Not really."

"Huh?"

Bae Jun-sik is a pity.

Chen Yiqiu's words changed: "But which live broadcast platform do you think will reject you now, and Xianghe them?" ”

“…… Makes sense, it makes sense. ”

Pei Junzhi's eyes lit up, and he slapped Chen Yiqiu suddenly: "Good brother, hurry up, I'll call Lee Jae-wan and Sang-hyuk, I think this matter can be considered..."

It's time for a small group meeting.

Chen Yiqiu smiled and nodded, if the whole SKT team can go together, then Huya will have to continue to raise prices even if it loses money.

What you want is the benefit of the group!

Pei Junzhi has been completely shocked by the local tyrant of Huya, he is actually very eager for money now, because he talked about his girlfriend and had to think about the future life of the two of them.

Chen Yiqiu returned to the room first, and on the way, he had already received calls from several live broadcast platforms.

I don't know where his contact information was leaked, but now he can be found on a live broadcast platform.

But the live broadcast platform can be found, and those teams are estimated to be soon.

Ten minutes later.

Bae Jun-sik walked in with Lee Jae-wan and Lee Sang-hyuk, and the four of them gathered together and muttered.

"Just now, Douyu also gave a 30 million offer, and said that if we sign a contract with Douyu as a team, the price will increase."

"Of course... The requirements on their side are more special... I won't talk about how special it is, it has something to do with me. ”

Chen Yiqiu didn't finish speaking, but Li Sang-hyuk and several people knew that it was estimated that the condition for Betta was that Chen Yiqiu had to return to the LPL.

This is very understandable, if Chen Yiqiu continues to be in the LCK in the new season, then no matter how popular he is, there will still be a certain gap between him and returning to the LPL.

Even seeing that he didn't come back in the new season, LPL audiences and officials should change their fanatical attitude towards him now.

The direction of the wind may change again.

On the other hand, in addition to Douyu and Huya, live broadcast platforms such as Zhanqi, which originally had something to do with SKT, as well as all the people, have issued invitations, and the price is slightly lower than that of the two giants, but it is also full of sincerity.

Among them, the highest bid and the best treatment turned out to be Panda Live.

This is a live broadcast platform just established by the son of the richest man in China last year, and during the 15 to 16 years, it once set off a bloody storm in the live broadcast circle and e-sports circle.

The wealth is huge, and now the anchor is worth so much, and Panda Live has made great contributions.

In the face of the new king of traffic, who may be the future LPL card Reaper, President Wang asked someone to call, and the opening was 50 million, and for the introduction of SKT in the new season, it was also not money, and the offer broke through the sky.

"This fifty million... Somewhat... It's scary, isn't it? ”

Bae Jun-sik was frightened by the contract price.

What kind of family, 50 million a year, panda live broadcast can't be?

"That's a lot."

Chen Yiqiu nodded, he didn't finish speaking.

The 50 million offered by President Wang has a condition that must be met, and he will sign with IG in the new season.

This is given together with Chen Yiqiu's signing fee for the new season, can it not be high?

But in any case, on the first night of the championship, he already felt the 'overwhelming' sugar-coated shells.

If you don't have a certain amount of self-sustaining power, you really can't grasp it.

There's too much money.

"I'll talk to Kkoma about it later... If possible, it is possible to sign a contract with a Chinese live streaming platform in the new season, but it is not certain yet, and the mouse station should also make a bid. ”

In the end, Lee Sang-hyuk made a final decision and ended this small group secret meeting.

Due to SKT's special and honor, they used to be anchors of Mouse Channel, and they were broadcast on live broadcast platforms in other regions.

But that's because the mouse bid the highest, but now that the Triple Crown is won, SKT is so terrifying in Chinese popularity, there is no reason not to sign a Chinese live broadcast platform.

Among them, the team is the beneficiary, and these players are the first beneficiaries.

"Okay."

Chen Yiqiu nodded.

And so the crowd dispersed.

Just now, everyone tacitly bypassed the topic of the team and only talked about the live broadcast platform.

But everyone knows that this is something they will have to face sooner or later.

……

Following.

Midday.

Chen Yiqiu rarely slept lazy.

He turned off his mobile phone before going to bed last night, and waited until he woke up before turning on his first mobile phone.

Chen Yiqiu clicked on QQ first and found that starting from elementary school classmates to high school classmates, whether they were familiar or unfamiliar, whether they had contact with him before, they all sent him congratulatory messages.

There are even a few of them who say that they are 'classmates' in their kindergarten, which makes Chen Yiqiu very confused.

Kindergarten? Did I have QQ at that time?

Ahem, these are not important, the important thing is that Chen Yiqiu has been surrounded by congratulations and compliments.

The phone was turned off early last night, and I had to participate in the celebration banquet again, and finally discussed the choice of the live broadcast platform with Lee Sang-hyuk and them for a long time.

I didn't feel it at the time.

When I turned on my phone today, I found that the sky outside seemed to be changing.

Classmates who were unfamiliar with the past, 'school flowers' who had a good impression, teachers who thought they were Internet addicts, neighbors' hair children, and even seven aunts and eight aunts, those relatives who didn't understand e-sports, all seemed to instantly incarnate ten-year-old e-sports, and they opened their mouths to congratulate them on winning the world championship.

"Hmm......"

Chen Yiqiu rubbed his face, and it was a little dark at first, but after watching it a few times, he found all kinds of fishing, borrowing money, and even the news that female Internet celebrities were clearly in love, and he was a little tired.

Who is this treating me for?

The one who made a picture in the open, implying that she had several sisters.

Am I the kind of scumbag who changes one every day?

Sure enough, there is a reason why those 'historical conventions' of winning the championship one year, pulling the crotch the second year, and finding out this person's 'historical convention' in the third year.

Where can a normal adolescent withstand these temptations?

But Chen Yiqiu is not a real hairy boy, and he chose to ignore it.

As for why he didn't just block and delete it, he felt that there was no need to discourage the enthusiasm of Internet celebrities, but he didn't mean anything else, he just hoped that they could improve.

Speaking of progress.

- These are all obstacles that hinder my progress.

"Sure enough, I am the chosen one."

Chen Yiqiu suppressed his inexplicable anger and decided to wash up and calm down.

And just after washing my face and calming down a little, a phone call came in.

"Hello?"

"Reaper? Hello, I'm Abu from EDG, haha, I was supposed to call you on another phone yesterday, but I didn't expect you to turn it off too......"

The first call from the LPL division is here.
