League of Legends: Reborn in Season 3, Tuning the Entire League

Chapter 9 The tape is about to smoke!

"Come here!"

Before leaving, Jiang Ming called all the team members to his front.

"Brother Ming, what..."

"what?"

When the red banknotes were pulled out of the brown paper bag, the rustling sound made everyone freeze. "Brother Ming, what's this?"

"It's already December, it's time to pay you your November salary!"

"But we're number 1 today." Xu Jing, the team's AD carry, said weakly, and soon received death stares from the four people around him.

No, damn, you are stupid. Can you pay me in advance?
Xu Jing: ...

It seems so. Why the hell am I being so pretentious about getting paid in advance?

Jiang Ming smiled and handed the divided RMB to the contestants one by one.

"Take it, you deserve it."

"I won't play those empty games with you guys. From now on, our team's salary will be paid at the beginning of every month. That way, you don't have to worry about the team suddenly disbanding one day and owing you wages."

"Then, Brother Ming, you're joking. There's no way our team will disband..."

"Nothing is impossible. Even if you don't play well and your grades are bad, you can still have children if you don't disband."

Jiang Ming said sternly, "Your salaries will not be reduced by a cent. The promised bonuses for reaching the preseason and LPL finals will be paid to you on time and in full as the team progresses. I only have one request: During the competition, you must strengthen your self-management and ensure you have the necessary basic skills and pre-match warm-up training..."

"Only by making it to the LPL can you truly advance from a gamer to a professional esports player and realize your own value."

"Understood!!"×5
It is not realistic to set high requirements for the players when the team is still in the basement stage.

Not to mention whether the players can accept it, the team currently does not have the corresponding management conditions.

I am alone now, and I am busy running around the live broadcast team, school and online store. In the short term, I can only hope for some inspirational words.

Of course, Jiang Ming is not the type of person who believes in inspirational stories to make his way in the world. In this vast land of China, he prefers to believe that as long as his money transfer speed is fast enough and the amount of money is large enough, he is not afraid that the players will not be able to keep up with his efforts.

……

Coming out of the team's underground training room, Jiang Ming, who was covered in dust and full of resentment, was once again frustrated by the narrow corridor.

"MMP, once we get into the LPL, the first thing we'll do is decide on a team base."

It doesn't matter whether it's good or not, at least there should be a normal ground space. The basement has no doors or windows. It's okay in winter, but it's really uncomfortable in summer. Not to mention the smell of athlete's feet all over the room, you will be really "sweaten profusely" after playing two games.

"But the biggest problem right now is funding. We can ask someone to find a venue. Given the current level of development of domestic esports, the club base doesn't need to be too luxurious, like a villa or something. A standard one or two-story building with training rooms, player rest areas, and basic living quarters will suffice."

Jiang Ming thought about it and walked back to his rented room in two steps.

"Okay, I'll go back to school tomorrow. I can't let my reputation as a role model for college students go to waste. I'll see if I can get some more support from the dean..."

After all, the dean has the title of entrepreneurship instructor. It would be unreasonable not to help students when they are in trouble.

Since his online store provided the school with part-time jobs for needy students and exclusive scholarship sponsorship for students in the School of Economics and Management every semester, the dean had no reason to refuse.

After thinking it through, Jiang Ming felt much better.

If he were to live his life over again, he would know that at this stage, his greatest helper is not anyone else, but the university, which everyone feels has very little connection with him.

There's a saying that goes, "University is the best way for ordinary people to connect with the top leaders in society." If you feel university has little to offer, it's because you're not good enough. When you're strong enough, you'll find your alma mater is happy to provide you with support in various areas, including funding, space, and even connections.

……

Silent all night.

Jiang Ming got up early the next day and did not disturb his team members whose lifestyle was different from that of ordinary people. He just said hello to the restaurant owner before leaving and asked him to remember to deliver meals to them around 12 noon.

There is no other way. As a small family with a small business, we should save where we can, and consider hiring a cook after we make it to the LPL and have two sponsors.

"Where?"

Being stopped by Jiang Ming, the taxi driver rolled down the window and asked.

"Jinling University!"

"Okay."

The taxi driver didn't ask much, his attention was more focused on the road conditions, and he was more concerned about taking the car to the destination quickly and taking the next order.

The winter sun is very warm, shining through the school gate and casting tiny golden spots on the white path.

Jiang Ming came to the University Student Entrepreneurship Park and walked to the door of a small shop called "Mingjing Domain". The bronze wind chimes hanging on the lintel made a clear sound.

The store is simply decorated. The two rows of shelves in the middle are filled with various snacks that are popular among young people. The shelves on both sides of the wall are filled with various electronic digital products in a very different way. A school girl in a navy blue apron is restocking the snacks on the shelves.

"Drip!"

"Hey, Sister Lin, there's a new order."

The part-time receptionist shouted towards the back of the store.

"I know, I know... Ahhh, when Jiang Ming comes back, I'll have to make him give me a raise. This is not the way to exploit people."

"Two thousand orders a day, I'm about to tear smoke from the tape, and he's going to fly!"

"Senior, it's not nice to say bad things about people behind their backs."

Jiang Ming came to the counter, and the part-time junior student tore off the order on the printer before him and walked towards the warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with all kinds of goods. Senior Lin, who had just complained about Jiang Ming, was now busy packing the goods with several part-time junior students. A rich aroma of cakes wafted into the air from the packages.

Jiang Ming leaned over to help with the packing, then looked at the information on the order label.

Mmm…all meatloaf!

The store has three rooms in total. Apart from the department store outside which is open to the university, the main part is actually the two warehouses at the back.

Except for some special products, most orders placed by customers in the online store will be shipped from here.

"Oh, busy man, I finally found out that I can come and inspect your kingdom today?"

"Ahem, I'm busy making videos to promote our new store. Look, our orders are booming..."

"burst?"

"Yes, it exploded." Lin Jingyi, who had expertly pulled the tape and wrapped the package in five seconds, looked resentful. "But do you know how many packages we've packed since you posted the video?"

"Two thousand orders, two thousand orders, that's thousands of packages!"
