562: Turnaround for VG

What is the concept of a no-responsibility guarantee of 28 million?

As we all know, the current salary in the LOL circle is very high.

Because there are bonus clauses in it.

Especially young players who have potential and have not yet won solid honors, often transfer suddenly to get what the outside world calls high salaries, and most of them sign similar contracts.

For example, the base salary of a potential new star is 300W, plus 100W for entering the World Championship with the team, plus 100W for the semi-finals, and another 150W if they win the championship.

After the contract is signed, the club will release news that we spent 6.5 million to sign a top rookie.

In fact, what players can securely get is 300W before tax!

As for why the salary is so high, there is a lot of knowledge in it, which is closely related to factors such as club value evaluation and industry environment. It can only be said that I understand everything.

A player with a really irresponsible and high basic salary is either a popular king or a strong fighter with enough achievements, so he has to hold the bargaining power.

Like this season's VG starting five, the four players except Jack all have high-basic-salary contracts to ensure as much as possible the economic benefits after they get it.

During the winter transfer period after the end of S6, Gu Xing had a non-responsible base salary of 10 million, which was considered the only salary for domestic e-sports players at that time.

But in the face of the 28 million that JD.com is offering today, it is just a small witch!

The call was made by Lan Baiqing. He is the boss of Yuanyuan Group and holds 60% of the JD team. The e-commerce JD.com is his title sponsor and holds 40% of the shares.

So the Jingdong team is Lan Baiqing's talk, and he speaks loudly on the phone.

"As long as you join JDG Brother Xing, you will decide the lineup for next season, and I will pay for it without saying a word!"

Ever since Lan Baiqing entered the league in the summer split, he wanted to form a top team to fulfill his desire to dominate the league, and he was willing to spend a lot of money for this.

It has to be said that the conditions offered by Lan Baiqing are quite attractive.

Gu Xing turned his head and told Ding Jun according to the previous agreement.

In the middle of the night, Boss Ding didn't feel sleepy at all.

"2800W..." He gasped.

"This salary increase is too exaggerated." Gu Xing himself was very puzzled by this, "Did the price increase on purpose?"

"Probably not," Ding Jun sighed, "According to the information we have so far, players' salaries have ushered in a new explosive period."

As mentioned before, player salaries have skyrocketed twice at the end of S4 and S6 respectively.

The key factor for the former is that a large number of Korean aid came to China + the live broadcast platform flourished and participated in the salary structure of the players, which increased the salary of the players; the latter was the blessing of VG's first championship and the home game of the S7 World Championship, which prompted various teams to drive up prices to snatch the strong players. Players will be assigned traffic cake.

Ding Jun feels that the player's third income surge has arrived.

After the end of the S7 season, the overall ratings of the global finals have not yet been released, but the highest peak number of simultaneous online viewers on a single platform of Mouse TV is well documented.

4.43 million people!

Break the ratings data of the League of Legends and even the history of e-sports, and properly rule the gap!

Moreover, there are basically no domestic audiences watching the Mouse TV, and the largest audience group has not yet been counted.

If nothing else, after VG won the championship in the Bird's Nest, the number of viewers of the League of Legends event will swell to an unimaginable level!

The continuous expansion of the game-watching group will inevitably promote the continuous development of the commercialization of the game, and it is reasonable for players' salaries to increase again.

Moreover, next year LPL will officially enter the league. After the relegation match is cancelled, major capitals will flock in. Suning and JD.com have already taken the lead, and there will be more companies wanting to share the cake in the future. Worth!

Gu Xing, as a Grand Slam-level S tournament double champion + double FMVP, can even beat Faker in terms of historical status.

To put it bluntly, more than 60% of the huge number of fans accumulated by VG's two championships are concentrated on the ID of Virtue!

Relying on honor + popularity, Gu Xing can naturally enjoy the unique super high treatment!

"I will try my best to match this offer," Ding Jun gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, Xiao Gu, I will never treat you badly!"

But hanging up the phone, he also made trouble.

In the current situation, if there is no super high salary space of more than 5500W, VG will not be able to retain the original team at all!

This is still the salary of the players. Should the salary of the coach be increased?

Adding in the salaries of the management staff and the rent of the villa, water, electricity and network costs, the investment in the League of Legends branch alone will exceed 70 million!

For Ding Jun, who claims to have the ability to make money, the financial pressure is beyond the limit of his burden.

He recalled the ambition he had sworn to keep the championship team, and felt that riding a tiger was difficult.

"Is the boss of JDG stuck in the wrong place..." He greeted Lan Baiqing in his native Hangzhou dialect, "Where did this guy get the money?"

Ding Jun paced back and forth in the office thinking.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration, only to feel suddenly enlightened!

Ding Jun has a certain understanding of Lan Baiqing's background.

To be honest, there is still a gap between the financial resources and its own Huading Group.

Doesn't Lan Baiqing rely on JD.com's 40% investment and shareholding to back it up?

Have!

Ding Jun was ecstatic, only to find a perfect solution.

Gu Xing was also very happy.

After all, how many people can resist the temptation of tens of millions of salary increases?

That night, Gu Xing received offers from no less than 10 clubs in total.

There are many teams from outside the competition area.

Ah P and Carlos personally called to invite, and even brought in old teammate Imp to be a lobbyist, offering a 270W Euro/year super contract.

However, this price is not very competitive, and the golden age of RMB 1:10 has already passed, and the money you get after converting the exchange rate and tax rate is not much.

G2 has two advantages.

One is the lineup.

The players are all among the best in the competition area. Gu Xing used to win the championship steadily, and it is no problem for G2 to win the league championship for six consecutive times!

The second is in Europe, where I can be closer to my girlfriend who will go to France for an exchange next spring.

But Gu Xing declined the invitation without thinking too much.

He didn't think about it in love, and he had to leave his hometown and go to the outer competition area for a short half-year parting.

Most of the fame and reputation I have accumulated are in the LPL, so Gu Xing has no reason to leave.

North American clubs also came to join in the fun. TSM offered 3 million US dollars, which is a solid portrait of the character of NA who is stupid and quick to come, and promised that as long as he signs the contract, he will immediately let the race knight go!

It's just that Gu Xing didn't want to mess around next season, so he rejected the invitation of the North American team—just for fun, how can he compete for the World Championship with NA players who work from 9 to 5 and want to rest?

After recording the quotations from various companies in the memo, Gu Xing fell asleep.

When I woke up at noon the next day, the sky was bright outside the window.

He spent two weeks traveling with his parents in the imperial capital, and now he has returned to his hometown in Zhenhai. The Ningbo mansion he bought in the eastern new city has not yet been delivered. He lives in Haishang International, not far from the Guxi community, and he can see it from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The peacefully flowing Yongjiang River ahead is truly picturesque.

When Gu Xing was brushing his teeth and washing his hands, he took the time to browse through the anti bar.

After the end of the season, Baby Maggot has no games to watch, but still has to post hard water, which has caused the current post bar to be filled with all kinds of weird scoring posts.

For example, the number of replies to posts such as "I post childhood anime and you rate it" and "Ranking of domestic film and television dramas in the 21st century" has steadily exceeded 1,000.

But after the transfer period started early this morning, the maggot babies finally found something to do, and they were all discussing the next transfer.

[Crooked day, Little Peanut and Casa official announced that they are free men? 】

[I heard from the gossip that these two brothers are going to come to LPL, is it true or not?]

[The stinking foreigner came to LPL to beg for food? Climb for Grandpa! 】

[No one cares about VG? The five starters are all free men]

[Should be able to renew the contract, I see that the VG official blog has not officially announced a free agent. According to the law of LPL, there is still room for negotiation]

The conventional method of LPL is that the official announcement of a free person = the contract renewal talks collapsed. As long as the official blog releases a blog post about the player returning to his free body, fans can discuss who the next player is.

VG is still in the stage of negotiating salary quotations, and it is far from the point where the negotiations break down.

As the double crown club and the guardian of the LPL, the maggot babies are naturally very concerned, and there are many discussions in the post bar.

[But how much does it cost for five people to renew the contract? Last season, the outside world revealed that it was a 3000W Galaxy Battleship. This year, the budget must be increased. Boss Ding’s big business is not so expensive, right? 】

[In fact, others can leave, but Brother Xing must stay. If you leave, how will our VC live? 】

[I bet VG will definitely not be able to keep all the players, and now I want to procrastinate and wait for a suitable opportunity to officially announce the freedom]

[That's over, LPL has an ancestral method of holding your breath, it is estimated that this kind of news should be delayed until the transfer period window is closed before releasing it]

Gu Xing rinsed his mouth and turned off the anti-bar, and was about to go downstairs to the outlet outside the community to find a store to solve the lunch problem.

His parents must be looking at the shop and tallying the goods at this time. He has been a professional player for too long, and now he can't adjust his work and rest time. He basically has to wait until noon to get up. In the first two days when he returned to Zhenhai, his parents would save some lunch for him. Now he can only do it by himself.

Go to Mingmen Casserole and order grilled vegetable rice cakes and beef brisket casserole. While waiting for the dishes, don’t forget to make a video call with your sister and girlfriend who are far away in the imperial capital to announce the good news.

Hearing the noisy background where the second daughter was, combined with the people coming and going behind her, it was not difficult to guess that they were in the cafeteria.

"28 million!" Gu Xing smugly said, "How about it, Gu Mufen, aren't your brother and I particularly powerful?"

Shen Guanshan stared at him, "Of course, you are definitely worth the price of the contract!"

She was just about to say, 'You are amazing, I'll give you my thumb'.

Gu Pan snorted twice, "To be honest, there are not so many, Gu Yu is waiting for you, it's not far from me paying you back the house money!"

Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Gu Xing teased her. "Do you have no idea about 28 million yuan? I'm going crazy today!"

"Hehe, do you see my outfit?" Gu Pan moved the phone camera.

Gu Xingcai found out that his younger sister was wearing a neat suit, which looked like a white-collar worker in the workplace.

"Why are you going," he replied, "selling insurance?"

Gu Pan took a deep breath, and directly revealed the answer, "Talk about financing, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Gu Xing couldn't hide his surprise, "Is it E+? There is something!"

Thinking about it, it seems to be quite the river.

In just eight months since its establishment, E+ has expanded its business scope to all major competition areas around the world. The scale is quite large. Apart from the classification of League of Legends, it is said that the event databases of two popular games, OW and CSGO, will be launched soon.

Financing is true within reason.

Shen Guanshan chimed in, "It must be because the new features we launched in the past two weeks made a contribution, and the daily activity of the website has increased by more than 20%!"

Gu Xing suddenly realized.

That day, Gu Pan rushed back to school from the food stall in a hurry, just to ensure that the new functions of E+ were launched in time.

He browsed twice in his free time and couldn't help but marvel at how powerful these programmers are.

The most important new function launched by E+ is an overview of the status of each character similar to that of E+, the difference is that it gives the national service data.

At present, the proportion of the total number of players competing in the national server qualifying competition is quite high. Everyone has not yet rushed to the embrace of Smash Bros., and urgently needs the support of a similar data information system.

You know, most players don't have the time to slowly study the build ideas. Everyone just comes here to relax and play the game. In addition, the version of the League of Legends changes quickly. It often takes two weeks to replace a batch of strong characters and follow up. The cost of learning is really high.

Although there are foreign servers that can be viewed before, the gap between servers is really too big.

Anyone who has been to the foreign server knows that the pace of qualifying there is very slow. Players spend a long time on the line to make up the sword, and many growth-type heroes can play.

The national server is dominated by harvest monsters and early fighting kings. Heroes such as the male sword Saint Ike are simply gods in the middle and low tiers. As long as two heads are collected in a wave of team battles, they can take off instantly!

As a result, sometimes the overview of the qualifying version cannot be copied to the hands of players in the national server.

Gu Pan keenly sensed a great opportunity to absorb volume, and led the team to produce a national server data system with detailed content covering all aspects, and even gave specific information on the formation time of mainstream equipment plans in each rank!

The function opening of E+ is tantamount to solving the urgent need.

Players open the webpage and copy it accordingly!

As a result, the daily activities of E+ in the past two weeks have shown a large-scale growth trend, which has attracted the attention of investment institutions.

"Thanks to Guan Shan," Gu Pan thought of this, and his heart blossomed. "If she hadn't opened up the key channels, E+ would not have been able to develop so quickly!"

Gu Xing looked at his girlfriend curiously.

"It's nothing." Shen Guanshan scratched his face in embarrassment, the rose gold ring on his finger was very eye-catching, "It's just a connection with Wegame... after all, it's the original internship unit, so it's easier to talk to."

If you want to collect national service data, you must have an interface, and you can't get around Tencent in this regard.

Since Wegame is currently understaffed and is still improving other functions, there is no time to care about the hero data of the LOL national server.

Of course, even if there is no shortage of people to work in the future, it may not necessarily pay attention to player feedback.

When Shen Guanshan was watching VG's quarter-final match against G2 in Guangzhou, he ran into his former colleague Flavia, and asked at that time whether the data query interface could be opened.

Flavia asked the leader for instructions, and the final answer was that it could be opened.

But Wegame wants to name it!

In this way, E+ can open up the channel to get the interface to collect data, and Wegame doesn't need to pay a single soldier or even a salary, and can enjoy the benefits of whoring for nothing and gain a good reputation for itself.

A real win-win!

Therefore, on the webpage of the national service data system, next to the E+ black and red logo is the classic Wegame hatching 'G' pattern to highlight the official cooperation status.

"When the E+ round of financing is successful, I will not be short of money, and I will definitely earn more and more in the future," Gu Pan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Gu Yu, you don't want to use your income to suppress me for the rest of your life!"

"Congratulations!" Gu Xing was quite happy with his younger sister's success in her career, "Which investment institution is it?"

"Gao Rong Capital," Gu Pan said, "the three founders are all alumni of Peking University Computer, and Xie Tunan will definitely be able to talk to him later!"

The status of alumni is mainly to give an opportunity for icing on the cake.

For projects with similar scale and prospects, most of the time, the party with the closer relationship will be chosen.

There is no doubt that the label of Peking University students occupies a unique advantage at this time.

Gu Xing saw that his sister had important matters to deal with in the afternoon, so he didn't talk much, but just told the other party to prepare well and ended the call.

After eating the casserole to fill his stomach, he ran to the Drum Tower for a walk, took a walk to digest his food, and then returned to his room to catch up on sleep.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I woke up again, and I went downstairs to help my parents tidy up the store. As soon as I was working as a labor force and rushed home with a bag of rice, I received a call from Ding Jun.

Besides him, the rest of the members of the VG training department were also pulled in.

The battle was very big, and Gu Xing didn't know why at first, but Ding Jun's opening remarks helped him clear up his confusion.

"Today I received offers from everyone on the first day after the end of the contract. To be honest, the price is beyond my imagination," Ding Jun said in a deep voice, "But as I said before, I will not treat you badly. Just follow industry standards."

"Bringing everyone here is to talk about our response measures."

He got straight to the point, "It's hard for VG alone to get the full contract of five players, so I'm going to open up investment, dilute some of my own shares, and bring in external capital investment."

Ding Jun imitated JDG.

Since Lan Baiqing can open up 40% of the equity to JD.com and pull the banner of the tiger, I, VG, can naturally do the same!

The only difference is that VG does not need to use capital naming to increase its popularity in today's e-sports circle.

The name Vig is a golden signature!
