LOL: Do I have to be a spinning top too?
Chapter 65: A Keen Eye for Talent
A separate live-streaming agency contract will be signed, with a guaranteed annual salary of one million yuan, and revenue sharing from gifts will be calculated separately.
With all three items combined, his annual after-tax income easily exceeded three million.
A month ago, he was a poor kid eating instant noodles in an internet cafe and had to save money to pay for internet access.
Now someone is telling him that he can earn three million a year.
"Brother Hao, this..."
"Don't rush to speak, keep reading." Guo Hao leaned back in his chair, his smile meaningful.
Li Hu continued scrolling down, carefully reading through each clause.
The contract term remains 1+1 years and has not been extended.
The transfer terms are clear, with no small print that could obscure the contract.
The live streaming duration requirement is also reasonable, ten hours per week, which can be adjusted during the off-season.
The only difference from the previous contract is that the salary has increased, the signing bonus has been raised, and there is now an additional live-streaming agency contract.
There are no hidden pitfalls.
"Brother Hao, to be honest, I'm a little surprised."
Li Hu raised his head, his tone serious:
"Although we won the Demacia Cup, it is ultimately not the LPL league."
"Isn't this salary increase and signing bonus too high for a newcomer who has only played in the Demacia Cup?"
Guo Hao smiled and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table.
"Tiger, do you think I'm doing charity work?"
"I am a businessman, and a businessman doesn't do business at a loss."
He stood up, walked to the window, and drew back the curtains.
Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the entire room.
"Your Weibo post about winning the championship last night has been read over 200 million times."
"In the Hupu rating section, all nine of your matches received a rating above 9.5, and all three final matches received a perfect score of 10.0."
"Your highlight reels on Douyin have garnered tens of millions of views."
"It took less than half a month for my Weibo followers to grow from a few thousand to more than 900,000."
He turned around and looked at Li Hu: "Do you know where these stats stand among the newcomers in the LPL?"
Li Hu was silent for two seconds: "Unprecedented?"
"Unprecedented."
Guo Hao repeated it, then walked back and sat down again, his tone becoming extremely serious.
"Your data during your rookie days was even more dominant than Left Hand's. Do you know what Left Hand's price is now?"
"Higher than you can imagine."
"Therefore, your current commercial value potential is far more than just three million."
"and……"
He paused, a smile playing on his lips:
"If I don't add it, someone else will add it for me."
"From last night until now, my WeChat has been bombarded with messages from managers of seven or eight clubs."
"NIP, EDG, JDG, WE, LNG, and even LCK teams have inquired about us."
"They all see your potential and want to poach you before you truly rise to prominence."
"There are many discerning people in this world who can recognize talent. Is a professional gamer truly a genius?"
"Whether someone has the talent to see the future is something many people can tell at a glance."
"So if another company poachs you, where will I, Guo Hao, put my face?"
"Now, do you understand why I offered you this price?"
Li Hu looked at Guo Hao and remained silent for a long while.
In his previous life, when he was on the bench in the second division, he heard too many stories about clubs cheating their players.
Contractual breaches, wage arrears, forced players to play while ill, and even using contract terms to coerce players into signing indentured servitude agreements.
Especially RNG next door, known as the "God of Contracts," their legal department is busier than the coaching staff.
And then there's BLG. The management treats the players like cannon fodder every day. If they perform poorly, they immediately start infighting and replace the players. The fans are so angry that they curse the management in the super topic every day.
In such an environment, Guo Hao, the manager, was practically an anomaly.
He not only didn't hold the contract against him, but also proactively raised his salary.
Not only do they not exploit the players, but they also consider your needs in every way.
"Brother Hao."
Li Hu picked up the pen on the table, turned to the last page, and signed his name.
"I'll sign this contract."
The pen tip landed on the paper, exactly the same as when the first contract was signed.
But this time, Li Hu's mindset was completely different.
When he first signed the contract, he was just a complete novice who had never even played in the LDL. He signed the contract to use it as a stepping stone.
This time, he signed a promise...
TES is willing to invest in his future, and he is willing to dedicate part of his future time to TES, bringing honor and glory to TES.
Guo Hao looked at the still less-than-ideal signature on the contract, and couldn't help but smirk.
"Aren't you going to take a closer look? Aren't you afraid I'll rip you off?" Guo Hao joked as he put away the contract.
"I already saw it clearly just now. Besides, if Brother Hao really wanted to scam me, he wouldn't have given me a raise on his own initiative."
Li Hu leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips:
"These days, you can't find a club that's willing to proactively raise players' salaries even with a lantern."
"Don't you see that RNG next door is always in arrears with player salaries? Even after their players have retired, they're still involved in lawsuits!"
Guo Hao was amused by the phrase "You haven't seen it before," patted the file bag, and stood up:
"Alright, stop joking around."
"The team's situation is settled. The entire coaching staff has seen your performance in the Demacia Cup, and you're definitely going to be on the Spring Split roster."
"Play well. In the professional esports scene, TES will always be your source of confidence."
"Whether it's tactical resources on the field or public opinion and legal matters off the field, the club will cover for you."
"Understood, thank you, Brother Hao."
Li Hu carefully put away his copy of the contract.
Guo Hao walked to the door, then turned back and added:
"By the way, your live streaming account is all set up."
"I'll go to the team's training room this afternoon to get used to my new position, and I'll start broadcasting at 8 PM tonight."
"TigerDuck came to me early this morning with the cooperation contract we signed before, urging me to start broadcasting as soon as possible because of my large audience."
"If we don't start broadcasting soon, their operations team is going to storm our base."
Li Hu smiled and said, "Okay, see you tonight."
No sooner had Guo Hao left than Qing Tian peeked out from the dormitory next door.
He had dark circles under his eyes and his hair was a mess, clearly indicating that he had just woken up.
But those small eyes gleamed with gossip, clearly indicating that they had heard the commotion.
"Tiger, what did Brother Hao say to you?"
"Give me a raise," Li Hu said calmly.
"How much?"
"It has tripled."
Sunny's eyes widened instantly.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he sighed, his expression becoming incredibly complicated.
"Three times that...!"
Looking at his expression, Li Hu suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
He knew about Qingtian's situation at TES... He was bought at a high price from LDL and was once highly anticipated, but his performance in LPL was inconsistent, and he was eventually relegated to the bench.
However, in his previous life, Qingtian once had a very impressive performance in the S13 Spring Split, with heavy warriors like Renekton and Darius being incredibly powerful in his hands.
That peak period was just too short.
After transferring to UP during the S14 Summer Split, he struggled at the bottom of the LPL.
Ultimately, they quietly disappeared from the public eye of the top league.
To be honest, what's wrong with sunny days?
