Ye Qiu, reborn as the King's Avatar, and his younger brother and sister-in-law Su Mucheng

Chapter 104 I've already transmigrated, of course I have to be the male lead in a wish-fulfillment novel!

"How could I waste my time?"

Ye Qiu looked at Duan Fei and the others and said with a smile, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a great river is formed from countless small streams. Our current monotonous training will definitely bring us gradual improvement. We may not see any results in a day or two, but after a year or two, the improvement in strength and teamwork will be clearly visible."

Ye Qiu's words make a lot of sense, but grand principles cannot replace the necessities of daily life.

"The key is to support ourselves now. Only after we survive should we think about improving ourselves, right?" Duan Fei said.

Ye Qiu waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about the issue of survival. First, I firmly believe that Glory will get better and better. In two years at most, Glory will undergo a big change. At that time, Glory's competitions will become mainstream programs on the Internet, and your salaries and commercial value will also rise accordingly."

"Secondly, our Happy team has an internet cafe with a monthly revenue of over a million yuan. Are you still worried about not having money for food?"

"What we need to do now is to continuously improve our strength, continuously improve the team's synergy, and then win the championship of Glory this season. Nothing else is something you should be thinking about."

Of everyone present, Ye Qiu was the youngest.

However, Ye Qiu's tone at this moment was mature and old-fashioned.

This situation should have felt strange, but the members of Happy didn't find it odd at all.

Because Ye Qiu's thoughts and actions are more mature than theirs, which is a fact that everyone knows and acknowledges.

Su Muqiu then stepped forward and said, "Ye Qiu is right. Let's win this season first! If we win the regular season and the playoffs, the prize money will be 40. If we split it equally, each of us will get tens of thousands. It won't be worse than working a regular job."

Duan Fei nodded: "Then let's do our best!"

Ye Qiu patted Duan Fei on the shoulder, then said to everyone, "You guys train, I'm going to talk to Uncle Chen about something."

Ye Qiu left the training room and went to the general manager's office on the third floor.

Knock on the door.

"Dodo!"

"Please come in," came Chen Taohai's voice from inside the room.

Ye Qiu pushed open the door and entered.

Upon seeing that it was Ye Qiu, Chen Taohai immediately became enthusiastic: "It's Ye Qiu! Come, come, I was just looking for you, and here you are."

Chen Taohai gestured for Ye Qiu to sit down at the coffee table, then poured him a cup of freshly brewed tea.

"Uncle Chen, what do you want to see me about?" Ye Qiu asked after sitting down.

Chen Taohai pushed the teacup in front of Ye Qiu and said, "Today we have a sponsor who wants you to endorse a product. The endorsement fee is very high."

Ye Qiu took the teacup and asked, "What product?"

"Old-fashioned pickled cabbage," Chen Taohai said.

"Master Kang?" Ye Qiu asked in surprise.

The most famous brand of pickled cabbage is Kang Shifu.

In their past life, in their world, Master Kang's pickled cabbage was made by a fifty-year-old man stomping on it with his big feet.

I've heard there's even an additive made from the urine of a fifty-year-old man—a secret recipe!

In this world, Master Kong is also the top instant noodle brand, but in the past two years, other brands of instant noodles have also made a significant impact on the market.

Chen Taohai nodded with a smile: "Yes, they offer an endorsement fee of 5 yuan per year, and it's a five-year contract at once. That's quite a good income."

"The key is that this endorsement belongs to you personally, so this 500,000 yuan endorsement fee is also your personal income."

Chen Taohai assumed Ye Qiu would definitely agree.

After all, you can earn 500,000 yuan just by shooting an advertisement.

This is like a beautiful Lin Daiyu falling from the sky!
However, Ye Qiu shook his head, showing great disdain for the 500,000: "It's only so little, forget it. I rarely eat that stuff anyway."

Ye Qiu didn't think that Master Kang's instant noodles were bad. After all, he didn't eat them himself, and others wouldn't die from eating them; at most, they would just be unclean.

Therefore, it can't be considered a false endorsement.

The main point is that it costs 100,000 a year, and I'm buying it for five years at once.

Only a fool would sign a contract like that!

If it's for a year, he might consider it.

A five-year contract. By then, Honor will have reached a point where top players can earn over a million yuan a year. At that point, as Honor's number one player, his commercial value will be so high that he could easily command millions in endorsement fees for a single product.

100,000 a year, isn't that just like signing a contract of servitude with Master Kang?

Ye Qiucai wasn't that stupid.

"You're not interested in 100,000 a year?" Chen Taohai was very surprised.

Although Ye Qiu is now a wealthy man, he can earn a lot of money playing games every year.

However, Ye Qiu and Su Muqiu have invested all the money they earned into Team Happy.

Moreover, this kind of endorsement only requires an hour to shoot an advertisement.

In other words, he earned 500,000 in just one hour.

What kind of business is so profitable?

Ye Qiu smiled and said, "That's true. I think Glory's future prospects are quite good. I estimate that professional players will be worth millions in five years. At that time, any endorsement will be worth tens of millions."

"100,000 a year, this isn't an endorsement, it's a contract of servitude."

Chen Taohai was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Haha, you think highly of Glory?"

Chen Taohai even had some doubts about whether Ye Qiu was being a little too confident in the game Glory.

Given the domestic esports market environment, it's impossible to achieve an annual salary of one million and an endorsement deal worth tens of millions.

Such treatment is reserved for second-tier or higher celebrities. Can playing Honor of Kings make you a second-tier celebrity?
If I said that, no one would believe me, and I'd probably be laughed at.

However, Chen Taohai would not laugh at Ye Qiu. In his view, it was right for young people to have illusions about society.

This is the fighting spirit and mindset that young people should have.

He looked at Ye Qiu and asked, "By the way, what brings you here?"

Ye Qiu took a sip of tea before saying, "I'm thinking about whether our team should recruit new players to cultivate future talent for the team."

"Aren't we enough people now? Don't we already have seven people in our team?" Chen Taohai looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.

Ye Qiu originally planned to keep nine people in the team, but Chen Taohai believed that e-sports competitions only last for one or two hours. Playing one or two hours of competitions a week, there was no need for so many substitute players.

Moreover, Su Muqiu can play four different professions by himself, which is equivalent to having four substitutes. What's the point of having so many substitutes? It would be a waste of salary space.

So, Team Happy laid off two people and sent them to manage online game guilds.

After only one professional match, Ye Qiu is already recruiting teammates again?

"No, Uncle Chen, you've misunderstood. I'm not recruiting contestants, I'm recruiting trainees."

"Trainees? What are we recruiting trainees for?"

Ye Qiu explained, "We are an e-sports competition, and e-sports is a young person's game. People like Duan Fei are getting older, and their performance may decline in a year or two. At that time, we will need someone to take their place."

"Recruit trainees and let them receive professional training in the team. Then we can select outstanding trainees to fill the vacant positions."

"Moreover, we can also discover some geniuses among them, making our team even stronger."

After listening to Ye Qiu's explanation, Chen Taohai immediately understood.

It's like a factory hiring apprentices; if the master craftsman gets upset or suddenly leaves, someone can always fill in for him.

Of course, Ye Qiu had another ambition besides recruiting students.

That is, they want to take this opportunity to discover some of the top players in Glory, such as those talented players who debuted in the second, third and fourth seasons, and hope to attract them to Team Happy.

Ye Qiu wasn't afraid at all that Team Happy was too strong. He wished Team Happy was strong enough to sweep away all enemies, just like many people fantasized in the original work about whether Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu could win ten Glory championships if Su Muqiu hadn't died.

Ye Qiu's strategy is to try his best to win ten Glory Championships if he can!

Having been reborn, they naturally intend to sweep away all enemies.

If he's going to do something, he'll be the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel; he's not going to be one of those suffocating men.

Even after time-traveling, why make life so difficult for yourself!
