Chapter 5: It will collapse! How can I help?
"Brother Bu, I still don't quite understand."
Li Mufan only slightly recovered from the shock when the car door closed and the car started speeding down the wide avenues of Shanghai. He looked around. The interior of the eight-seater business car was quite bright, and the EDG team logo on it also confirmed its ownership.
"You mean, I can sign a half-year contract with EDG and guarantee that I will play at least one-third of the Spring Split?"
Li Mufan's voice was full of doubts.
He now has the system in hand and knows in his heart that his return to the LPL starting lineup is a certainty, it is only a matter of time.
But here’s the key!
The potential has only been developed at two points! The score in the Korean server is also stuck at the tail of the king of more than 600 points. Coupled with the poor performance in the previous year, he can't think of any reason why EDG would sign him.
Of course he didn't know that just based on his rank and Dashu's not-so-excellent performance in a Korean server game, he could only be called stable! Abu has already decided to take Li Mufan back!
"Haha! You don't have to worry about this!" Abu turned around and looked at Li Mufan in a very easy-going manner: "I will ask the legal department to draft a contract when I get back. All the details will be clearly marked, just like your friend Yu Wenbo's. You can make a decision after reading it! ”
"Of course, before that I also need to sell our club to you." Abramovich took out an EDG brochure from the storage groove on the side door, opened it and handed it to Li Mufan's hand.
"Scientific and comprehensive formal management system, although using foreign aid, the training environment is fully communicated in Chinese, and a large amount of funds will be invested in reinforcements every season to ensure that it will not be ruined"
A series of bright and bright descriptions like advertisements came out of Abu's mouth. Yu Wenbo, who was listening to the side, had blurry eyes. If he hadn't signed the contract just now, he might have wanted to sell himself to EDG now.
"Our club strives for the championship every season! LPL championship! World championship! This has always been our goal!"
Abu's voice was full of anger and very confusing, but Li Mufan had a doubtful look on his face. Why did this guy look more and more like an insurance salesman?
Not long after, the car slowed down and turned to the right into a parking lot under an office building. Abu opened the car door from the right and stood outside with his hand out as an invitation,
"Welcome to the strongest club on Lingshi Road!"
Yu Wenbo got out of the car first and looked around with a surprised look. On the roof of the four-story office building next to him, the huge team logo of 'EDG' was very conspicuous, with white letters and black background, which was quite handsome.
"Does this entire building belong to you?" Yu Wenbo asked in surprise.
IG only has one floor, and there are only five bedrooms. Except for Su Xiaoluo and Li Mufan who live alone, the rest are three or four people sharing a room!
Except for Han Yuan, Han Yuan is a room for two people.
Yu Wenbo knew that in a place like Shanghai, where land is at a premium, renting a room was a price he couldn't afford.
And rich people like Principal Wang, who is behind IG, are not unable to rent a house, they are just unwilling to do so.
What kind of capitalist would be so kind to give a worker with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan to live in a single room with a monthly salary of 4,000 to 5,000 yuan?
So when he saw EDG purchasing an entire four-story building with such a generous deal, Yu Wenbo immediately gave EDG extra points in his heart!
Abu seemed to have understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Yes! There is a lot of space inside. You can sleep alone or two people in a room! It's your choice!"
Yu Wenbo was about to say that it would be good to sleep alone, but suddenly he thought that his eldest brother had also come with him. If he also signed the contract, maybe it would be good for two people to live together. They could talk about the game at night and not be too bored. .
Abu took Li Mufan and Yu Wenbo out of the parking lot and walked towards the base gate. Far away, there was a man wearing a navy blue down jacket standing at the base gate waving to them, holding a white puppy in his arms.
"That's Mingkai! Just call him the factory director! You should know him too." Abu said to the two of them: "Normally when a new player joins us, we have a welcome party, but now there is only the factory director in the club. It’s been around for a long time, so I’ll just postpone it! Don’t worry, we take our players absolutely seriously!”
Then Abu started rambling about where the team members who were not at the base had gone.
Tong Yang went to take the driver's license test, and Li Rucan returned to China to visit relatives. What surprised Yu Wenbo the most was that EDG's assistant Meiko actually went to BJ to shoot a magazine cover!
Is this an e-sports club or an internet celebrity company?
Abramovich scratched his head in embarrassment: "Mainly, EDG played a lot of games this year, and then the players whose contracts were renewed during the transfer period took a vacation! Normally during the main game, we will not accept any commercial activities that require going out. It’s movable, this is stated in the contract, don’t worry!”
Li Mufan and Yu Wenbo nodded with peace of mind. They came here to achieve results. They didn't want to go out all day to shoot this advertisement and that cover. Wouldn't that mean they would become Internet celebrities?
In the final analysis, e-sports is a technical activity that cannot be separated from persistent training. If there are too many things going on off the field, there will be no results on the field.
Walking into the gate of the base, the factory director also came over to say hello in a friendly manner: "Yu Wenbo! Is that you? We have been acquaintances online for many years. You always took my share last year!"
Li Mufan, who was facing the factory director, touched his head. Do I look like a Shiba Inu?
The genuine Yu Wenbo next to him quickly said: "Me, me, me! I am Yu Wenbo! JackeyLove!"
"Oh, oh, oh, sorry!" The factory director was a little embarrassed. After greeting Yu Wenbo, he reached out and shook Li Mufan's hand.
He stared twice at the man in front of him who was wrapped in a knitted hat, scarf and thick cotton jacket. Is it really so cold now?
It's a bit weak for a big boy!
The factory director did not have clairvoyance and could not recognize the identity of the rice dumpling in front of him. He looked at Abu next to him with a puzzled expression: "Who is this?"
"This is the top laner I bought! I'm going to use him to rotate with Tong Yang!" Abu smiled and patted Li Mufan's arm: "He has some understanding of how to play tank top laner. I think he is quite suitable for our team. First, Let’s try it out in a training match.”
Yes, the 'trial training' that Abramovich previously thought of is not the kind of trial training that a normal club would say. If it doesn't work, you will be let go. In fact, EDG's current capital can fully support an unknown player like Li Mufan, and the more critical reason is that there is no named top laner on the market that EDG can sign.
Buying Li Mufan and Tong Yang for rotation is already Abramovich's last choice unless mouse comes back, but since mouse returned home midway through the World Championships, there has been no news.
"Li Mufan, I played on IG before!" Abu continued to introduce.
The director's expression was stunned, his smile froze, and even the hand that was stroking the dog's body stopped, and Nice, who was so smooth and comfortable, whimpered slightly with dissatisfaction.
We are all veteran players of the LPL, and we are all the first batch of "old people" to officially register as LPL players in S3. How could he not know each other?
In the ancient S3 and S4 era, Li Mufan performed well in the top lane. He and the factory director ruled the jungle alone and the top lane alone.
But times have changed, two years have passed, and now the factory director is more familiar with it,
It’s Li Mufan’s nickname of ‘Emperor Mortal’!
Even when people are old, they can still make money!
If you help me, I won’t give it. If you don’t, I will give it away!
After IG confirmed that it would miss S6 a few months ago, there was even a scene in the post-game lounge footage released by the official. Rookie asked why we can't play on the road, and jungler Kid immediately retorted: If we go, we will collapse! How can I help?
Do you understand that this can put tanks on the road?
The change of expression of the factory director was very wonderful, but due to the face, he did not question each other on the spot with Abu, but when he looked at Li Mufan again, the smile on his face became very forced.
Abu also noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, and he quickly pointed to the Pomeranian in the director's arms and said: "Next, I'm going to introduce you to EDG's team leader! It's Nice! He's our number one player, you can call him Nana or Ba Ba are very cute!”
Yu Wenbo was immediately attracted by Nice in the factory director's arms. He didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between Li Mufan and the factory director. He stretched out his hand and said, "Nice is really cute! Can you let me hug you?" ? Are you afraid of life? ”
"It's okay! I can hug you!" The factory director smiled more sincerely this time.
There are rumors outside that Hu Xianzhao and Yu Wenbo are the two major ADs of the new generation, but in fact the factory director knows that Hu Xianzhao is a bit arrogant and difficult to discipline.
At a certain party, the factory director was tapping the older generation IG players he was familiar with and found out that Yu Wenbo was fierce in operations, but his personality was talkative, easy-going, and easy to get along with. He usually listened to the words of his seniors. .
In other words, easy to handle.
The factory director suddenly became interested. With his strong network as LPL player No. 001, he inquired from many sources and finally made the decision to trade his iboy with IG for JackeyLove.
Abu lived up to his expectations. After listening to the factory's analysis, he quickly came up with a negotiation plan and easily won over Su Xiaoluo.
Everything went smoothly after that. Abramovich went to pick up JKL, and saw Li Mufan who was ranking again. Looking at the halftime rankings, Abramovich was overjoyed. Isn't this the top laner EDG is currently lacking?
So he kidnapped Li Mufan back along the way. (End of chapter)
