Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

Chapter 148 Sky-high Signing Fee Shares Tomson Yipin

The last question was answered, the interview screen faded, and the scene of EDG members holding the Summoner's Cup above their heads in the Bird's Nest reappeared.

A golden subtitle scrolled above.

——Congratulations to EDG for winning the 2017 League of Legends World Championship.

A heated discussion broke out in the comment section again.

[Wow, pressure from the front and from the side, right?]

[One put a lot of pressure on him, but was defeated in the backhand, and the other disappeared when he found out that he was under pressure]

【Bathing dog is giving away! 】

[Brother Tian didn’t take any credit at all, he was praising his teammates the whole time]

[You will know if you watch the live broadcast. Tian Ge never said his teammates were not good enough when playing Rank. Even if his teammates lost, Tian Ge would say that he could do better and lead his teammates to win.]

[The world's No. 1 ADC: Start today's actor catching session]

[Either one can only play four to protect one, and the other can play one to carry four. A dog with that mentality will never win the championship.]

[No wonder EDG showed the RNG logo after dismantling SKT's base. We really need to thank RNG for forcing Tian Ge to the game.]

[I have to thank you. As a fan, I want to give a thumbs up to RNG]

[Knocking with five fingers like Brother Tian, ​​right? ]

【Hahahaha classic five fingers! 】

When the interview video was transmitted overseas.

European and American players responded with unprecedented amazement.

The gap between Tian and other players is huge, even Faker is no exception.

[The era of catching up with South Korea is over. As long as Tian is here, LPL will be the strongest region]

[It's time to welcome our new master]

[Someone told me before that Tian got nearly 20 million for just playing in one S game. How can a player like me be so valuable? After reading the backstage records, I just want to know what unit can hire Tian with 20 million. Is it British gold? ]

[I can't imagine that Tian could still stand up and lead EDG to victory under such a disadvantageous situation. What a terrifying self-confidence]

[In terms of offense, LPL has never changed, and finally an irresistible super genius has emerged]

Tian is a top laner who surpasses top laners. He is the best player in the world and can be said to be a team of his own.

[Koreans thought they lost to EDG, but in fact they lost to Tian alone]

[This is a man who turns the game into a personal highlight reel. As long as he is on the court, we can enjoy a visual feast.]

The major clubs are in a frenzy.

I originally thought that EDG's top laner was just a fierce fighter. Although he is strong, he has to rely on EDG's logistical support and team focus on the road to winning the championship, as well as the care of veterans such as Clearlove, Meiko, and Scout. Personal performance is only part of the success.

Unexpectedly, in the three BO5s between EDG and LZ, SSG, and SKT, the tactical system was all formulated by the rookie top laner.

What does this mean?
This shows that EDG's top laner is not only the King of Western Chu with invincible personal combat power, but also a military genius + strategist, with both strategic and logistical skills at full capacity!
If a person has these three qualities, and as long as his teammates are normal people and don't hold him back, he will have a good chance of winning the league championship or even the world championship!

As soon as the interview ended, Ye Tian’s phone rang.

The first person to call was Ding Jun, the owner of VG Club, who said "buy monkeys in the Year of the Monkey and chickens in the Year of the Rooster" and had a look on his face that said "stupid, rich, come quickly."

Ding Jun is very sincere.

He immediately offered an annual salary of 50 million.

but.

Not to mention that Ye Tian and EDG signed a non-compete agreement not to join other LPL clubs within three years. Even if there were no contract restrictions, Ye Tian would not consider VG, a team whose own strength can only be regarded as the bottom of the LPL.

In the spring season this year, VG fell all the way to the LSPL, and only fought back to the LPL in the summer season. Considering that YM is currently stirring up trouble, it is really hard to say how VG fought back...

Moreover.

The problem of VG club is very serious. It's not that the players' individual abilities are not good enough, but that everyone has lost all their spirit and don't know how to win the game.

Ye Tian can cure Mingkai’s cowardice and Iboy’s madness, but he really can’t save VG’s team that is like the walking dead.

The second person to call was the owner of Dousha TV.

"Brother Tian, ​​I'm Chen Jie!"

After Chen Jie introduced himself, he spoke in the most sincere voice: "I didn't think it through yesterday, but I have thought it through today. It's just a small goal. As long as Brother Tian, ​​you live broadcast on Dousha TV, I will sell everything I have to achieve this small goal!"

Ye Tianyi was happy.

to be frank.

I quite miss Chen Jie's previous rebellious look.

"Brother Tian?"

Seeing that Ye Tian did not respond, Chen Jie added another condition: "In addition to a small target irresponsible basic salary, there is also the highest level of promotion and traffic. Although this kind of promotion and traffic is not important to you, Brother Tian, ​​it is also something that other platforms cannot provide."

"I'm not rejecting it, I'm just a little surprised." Ye Tian didn't continue to keep the secret: "Since Boss Chen is so sincere, even if other platforms offer a higher price, I won't consider it."

"That's great!" Chen Jie was overjoyed: "Then I'll send someone... No, I'll fly over in person to sign the contract with Brother Tian."

Logically speaking, there is no need for Chen Jie to personally take charge of such a trivial matter as signing a contract.

But Ye Tian is too important to Dousha TV.

Even though Dousha TV currently has the top player in the League of Legends section, it is only one of the "three mythical gods" in the live broadcast industry, and is far from being unique.

Ye Tian, ​​who single-handedly led EDG to win the championship and was personally promoted by Station C, has the opportunity to surpass the other two phantom gods and become the true supreme, making Dousha TV's position as the number one in the world of martial arts solid.

"Okay, I'll wait for Boss Chen at the EDG base."

Ye Tian agreed.

18 is a turning point for the live streaming industry.

After the initial golden period of crazy financing and never lacking money as long as the company was popular, it entered a normal track where it had to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in order to survive.

In this year, Longzhu TV, which is backed by Tencent, was unable to make ends meet and had to transform itself into an entertainment platform that pushed female anchors to make money, so it was ordered to suspend broadcasting and rectify.

Black and White Cat TV was sold by Principal Wang and was closed shortly afterwards.

The Kuaishou TV is deserted, and its anchors can’t even get their salaries, let alone gifts.

Other small platforms are also declining. Without sufficient funds for promotion and with big anchors gradually leaving, their traffic is getting less and less every day. Even if the servers are still turned on, they are in name only.

The only two platforms suitable for selection are Dousha TV and Menghu TV.

Compared with the makeshift Dousha TV, Menghu TV, which was derived from YY Voice, is much more formal. After strict cost accounting, Ye Tian was only offered 70 million, a difference of nearly 50%.

As for other platforms...

No matter how high the amount is, it is just paper, not money that can be received. "Have you decided to sign Dousha?" the factory manager asked.

"I must sign with a big platform. Dousha is the largest in the industry." Ye Tian stretched lazily: "And I have been broadcasting on Dousha, so the fan base is better."

"Okay, you play well. I'll give you gifts in your first show after signing the contract." The factory manager made follow-up plans: "If you don't play next year, I'll contact other top laners to come to EDG."

"Who to contact?" Ye Tian asked casually.

"Ray from the C9 team." The factory manager did not hide it: "Ray is from our EDG youth training. He has played a few games in C9. His level is okay, but he can't compete with Da Mu's starting position. He has been contacting me before and said he wants to return to EDG. I will try to bring him over during the transfer period... Speaking of which, do you want to come and give him some guidance when the time comes?"

"Give him advice? How?" Ye Tian was happy: "Play ten or eight games with him in Solo, just to show him your power, right?"

"Forget about Solo." The factory manager thought of that scene and felt a little sorry: "Although Ray's level is okay, the gap with a monster like you is too big. See if there is anything you can teach him, just pass on some experience."

In the factory manager's opinion, Ye Tian has a huge lead compared to other top laners.

This lead is not only reflected in operation, but more importantly in awareness, understanding and the special routines of various heroes. If a little bit of it slips through the fingers, Ray can achieve a significant improvement.

"Wait and see what he can do." Ye Tian agreed.

"Ray? Isn't that the top laner Tian Ge mentioned with the character zhi in his name?" Iboy recalled: "Yes, that's Ray Zhi!"

"It's okay to talk about it now, but don't tell it when Ray comes. I think he will understand what wisdom means." Meiko reminded with a smile.

Mouse was also laughing foolishly.

As this year's legendary zero-win-rate champion top laner, although Mouse cannot continue to stay in the EDG team due to lack of personal talent, he has already confirmed that he will join RW sponsored by ROG Republic of Gamers during the transfer period, and he also has a bright future.

We chatted briefly.

The EDG players went to the second-floor dormitory to pack their luggage.

This year's winter transfer period is from November 11st to December 21st. For the EDG players who have played all the way through the S12 finals and have to be interviewed by Station C, they only have half a month to rest, so they naturally have to race against time to go home and show off.

Scout was not on Station C's interview list and had already flown to South Korea. Iboy, Meiko, and Mouse also left the EDG base soon.

At night.

EDG boss Ed Zhu came over and invited Ye Tian, ​​the factory manager, and Abu to have dinner together at the Bund.

Changing the bad habit of eating staple food, filling his stomach with seafood such as king crab, lobster, geoduck, etc., Ye Tian admired the river view and took the initiative to say: "Boss, just tell me what you want to say, I will try my best to agree."

Anyone who knows a little about the ways of the world knows that eating is never just about eating.

As soon as he returned to the base, Ed Zhu invited all the employees to a celebratory banquet. This time, he also invited the factory director and Abu, who had a good relationship with Ye Tian, ​​to a small-scale dinner together. He must have other ideas.

Since we have eaten this meal, there is no need to wait for Ed Zhu to speak.

As for whether to agree or not... it depends on the specific situation. It doesn't matter if it's just a small favor, but if it affects his money-making plan, Ye Tian won't lose face just because of a meal.

"No big deal."

Ed Zhu took out a document and said, "Ninety percent of the credit for this year's championship goes to you, Ye Tian. It's too little to just take one house like everyone else. Here is the share transfer agreement, the same as Ming Kai's. Just sign it and it's yours."

"Also, you will definitely need a room and equipment for your live broadcast. I have rented a river view room in the front row of Tomson Yipin for you. Let's go over and take a look later."

"Hmm..." Ye Tian thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Boss. I'll be very honored to refuse your offer."

EDG’s shares are actually of no use.

The rights of small shareholders of non-listed companies are almost zero, and the dividends are not much. After all, the profits of e-sports clubs are just so-so. As for the LPL at present, except for EDG and WE, all other clubs are losing money. EDG's dividends are probably less than seven figures a year.

If Edward Zhu simply gave Ye Tian shares, he might not be willing to accept them.

It will be different if you get a river view room in Tomson First Class.

The annual rent of Tomson One is at least over one million, and Ye Tian himself is really reluctant to spend it. For the sake of the money, he also wants to take over the EDG shares.

It is neither reasonable nor moral to accept one and reject all.

"Good good!"

Edward Zhu was very happy to give the money.

Just because Ye Tian couldn’t go to other LPL clubs for three years doesn’t mean EDG is qualified to be the boss.

With Ye Tian's invincibility in this year's World Finals and the fame he gained from the exclusive interview with Station C, he can live off his achievements for the rest of his life. Whether he is willing to come out and play in the competition depends entirely on his mood.

not to mention.

In addition to LPL, there are other regions!

Before the documentary was broadcast, other regions could only see Ye Tian's operations and might not be willing to pay a particularly high price to poach him.

After the documentary was broadcast, not to mention Europe and North America, even the LCK region, which has never introduced foreign aid, is likely to have started to think about it. There must be many clubs competing with EDG, and some of them will have top chaebols or sports giants supporting them behind the scenes. EDG has no advantage in spending money.

Therefore, from Ed Zhu's perspective, the most important thing is to have a good relationship with Ye Tian.

Don't want to play the game?
Nothing.

It doesn’t matter whether we play in the regular season or not.

Wait until EDG enters the World Championship, then invite Ye Tian over to help formulate a tactical system, or simply ask Ye Tian to play as a substitute!

As for the problem of not playing games together and lack of tacit understanding... Ed Zhu believes that with Ye Tian's strength, no matter how poor his tacit understanding with others is, his performance on the field will be much better than other top laners.

This year is the best example.

If Ye Tian was not there, EDG would have a high probability of failing in both the summer finals and the group stage. Facing the strong attack of LZ top laner Khan, the vision suppression of the SSG team, and the one-protect-four strategy of SKT legendary mid laner Faker, it would be even more difficult to win. Any team could have carried EDG away.

It was Ye Tian who turned everything around with his own efforts, allowing other players to have no worries and uniting the entire team into a solid team, which enabled them to win the championship of the World Finals.

We can do it this year.

It may still be possible next year.

Ye Tian knew exactly what Ed Zhu was thinking.

When smart people talk to each other, there is no need to put everything on the table and explain it in detail. It is enough for everyone to understand it tacitly.

If EDG maintains its form, can make it all the way to the World Championship, and has the potential to achieve even higher results, Ye Tian wouldn't mind taking another order.

Anyway, the World Championship only takes a short month, and the exposure can be maximized, so the cost-effectiveness is very high.

In addition, there are no particularly good teams to join in the S8 season, so EDG will try its best to retain the original team, as it is better to do what is familiar to them.

of course.

If EDG doesn’t perform well next year, it can’t be blamed on Ye Tian.

"Let's go, boss. Let's go and look at the houses in Tomson Yipin."

Abu half-jokingly said, "I have never been to such a high-end residential area in my life. It's a good opportunity to broaden my horizons. When Mingkai and I come to visit you in the future, Ye Tian, ​​don't refuse to open the door for us!"

Finally it came out...
