LOL: The No. 1 Succubus in the eSports Circle

Chapter 7 Play the long game and catch big fish

"Brother Yu, OG is your painstaking effort to create, how can you bear to sell it?"

"Why should I be so reluctant? I'm a businessman, and businessmen need to make money. Besides, even if I really want to stay in this industry, I can't run an e-sports club by myself. I'll talk about it later when there's a chance."

"After the team is sold, what do you plan to do, Brother Yu? Go back and inherit the family property?" Cui Ze joked.

"Family property? My brother has become the vice president, what does family property have to do with me?" Chen Yu flicked the ash off his cigarette and breathed a sigh of relief: "Recently, I've taken a fancy to a project that is also related to e-sports. The industry prospects are not bad, but if I don't ask my family for money, I really don't have the qualifications to enter the industry with the money I have earned over the years."

Then he patted Cui Ze on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you, I have the funds to enter the market. I owe you a favor for this. When there is a chance in the future, I will take you to meet some friends and see the world."

Cui Ze smiled silently and didn't reply.

Favors are favors, but if he really wants to repay this favor, he must at least make a name for himself in the e-sports circle.

At least we have to win an LPL league championship trophy?
Anyway, when the time comes, people will send out invitations. If they haven't invited you yet, it means that you are not qualified yet.

"By the way, PDD said before that he wanted to sign you to Little Elephant, have you come up with anything?"

As early as the spring and summer transfer period, PDD sent an invitation, wanting to buy Cui Ze to YM.

Chen Yu did not agree, because in his eyes at that time, although Cui Ze's strength was not even good enough to be among the top players in LDL, his advantage was high cost performance.

And based on the willpower and emotional intelligence that Cui Ze had shown, which far exceeded his peers in the e-sports circle, he decided to observe first.

Unexpectedly, before the start of the playoffs, PDD sent another invitation, but this time it was not a player transfer contract, but he wanted to sign Cui Ze to his Xiaoxiang Interactive Entertainment to start live streaming.

Chen Yu did not hide this matter. He told Cui Ze that evening and asked him to think about it himself.

"Well, I have an idea."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Cui Ze grinned: "What else can I say, sign the contract."

Chen Yu reminded: "You have to think about this matter carefully. LPL is different from LDL. Most clubs hope that the players will not be involved in things other than training and competition. Even if they want to live broadcast, it will be arranged by the club."

"If you sign a contract with a live streaming platform or guild before going to LPL, there will be some estrangement between you and the club in this regard, so...are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yeah, sure." Cui Ze nodded. "As long as I can perform well, this gap doesn't matter. Besides, this is also a means of self-protection, isn't it?"

Not all bosses in the e-sports circle are as disciplined and trustworthy as Chen Yu.

Some clubs may be able to offer contracts that seem very generous, but in fact they have already dug a pit and are waiting for e-sports newbies to jump in.

For example, a certain "e-sports Malphite" was not only arranged to retire by a certain "contract god" club in 19, but even his contract was stuck until 2024. Even if he had fallen out with the club a long time ago, he could only stay in the club's live broadcast guild and do business honestly.

Regarding entering the LPL, Cui Ze’s idea is: play the long game and catch the big fish.

Anyway, we have the system, and we can become stronger as long as we keep completing tasks. With unlimited room for growth, there is no need to care about temporary gains and losses.

But professional freedom is something that must be firmly held in your own hands!

Sign a contract with an agency before joining LPL, so that when negotiating the professional contract, you will be able to have autonomy with the intervention of a third party.

It doesn’t matter if the salary is lower, even if it’s only the LPL minimum salary of 2/month. There will be bread. As long as you perform well enough, you will always be able to get a maximum salary contract in the future!

Of course, we must also be careful about the agency side. The live broadcast guilds in the e-sports circle are all ruthless. In a word: never accept the pie drawn by the club or agency. Even if you can only get the worst salary contract, you must protect your own freedom and autonomy!
"It's a good idea that you have this idea. There are too many twists and turns in this circle. Many young people dive in and can't get out without getting their heads broken and bleeding."

Chen Yu threw away the cigarette butt, took out his phone and tapped a few times: "I'll introduce a lawyer to you. His name is Wang Can, he's my junior, and he's in Shanghai. Make an appointment with him before you go there, it can save you a lot of trouble."

“Wow, do you really have to be so kind?” Cui Ze was flattered and said, “Otherwise, don’t sell this team. Lead the brothers for another year. I will definitely go through fire and water for you, Brother Yu!”

"You kid..." Chen Yu raised his hand and nodded at him twice, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Just for what you said, when my company is established, I will sponsor your team, okay?"

"Is this true? You're investing in the team. What are you doing for that?"

The commercialization level of League of Legends e-sports is very high, but commercial sponsorship also depends on the attributes. If the attributes are not suitable, the money invested in the sponsorship might as well be used for offline promotion.

"We produce gaming chairs and ergonomic chairs, and then expand into other businesses if the business develops well in the future. I have named the company Zhongyao Intelligence. What do you think? Doesn't this name sound good?" Chen Yu said complacently.

"Zhongyao Smart Gaming Chair." Cui Ze pondered for a while, and suddenly recalled a brief fragment deep in his memory of his previous life.

In the next few years, the industry prospects of gaming chairs and ergonomic chairs are relatively bright. Alienware, Mechanic, Logitech, Aofeng, etc. are all well-known brands in the industry and often appear in the sponsorship ranks of various e-sports projects.

And Zhongyao Intelligence happens to be the product supplier of these big brands!

Oh well, I didn’t expect that there was a big Buddha hidden next to me.

Moreover, in the previous life, the OG team did not get the LPL ticket and withdrew hastily after the 2018 season. In other words, Chen Yu’s investment in e-sports is likely to have been wasted.

Under such circumstances, it was indeed not easy for Chen Yu to establish Zhongyao Intelligent Company and quickly develop it into a product supplier for a number of well-known gaming chairs and ergonomic chair brands.

The memories faded away, and Cui Ze looked straight at Chen Yu.

After confirming through eye contact, I met the right person.

This is a thigh, you must hold on to it tightly in the future!

Chen Yu was a little nervous when Cui Ze stared at him, and he quickly took two steps back: "No, there's something wrong with your eyes! I'm warning you, my sexual orientation is very normal, I don't accept homosexuality!"

"."

Cui Ze gave him an awkward but polite smile: "Brother Yu, it is important for people to know themselves. Don't say that my sexual orientation is normal, even if it is not normal..."

He raised his hand and gestured: "With your 175×175 body shape and your face that looks like the surface of the moon."

"Hey, hey, hey? Stop it! This is a personal attack. How can you talk to your boss like that?"

"That can't be helped. I have to prove myself, right? This is about innocence!"

"Okay, okay, I misunderstood you." Chen Yu glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. You should go back and think about your future plans. The team base will not be disbanded for a while. If you don't mind, you can live here first. It won't be too late to move in when you find a place."

"Yeah, okay."

"Okay, if you have nothing else, get in the car. See you later."

"Goodbye, I wish Brother Yu a bright future!"
