Chapter 139 Although Lian Po is old, his ambition is unparalleled!
Factory director? !
How could he add me as a friend?
Fang Jie just saw EDG boss Ed Zhu break the news in a live broadcast room two days ago, saying that EDG's lineup has basically stabilized and will maintain the championship team next season.
At the same time, Ed Zhu also said that he was only responsible for giving money, and the factory director decided to buy people. Abu was responsible for managing this area, and EDG basically had the final say between these two people.
The factory director came to find him at this time. Could it be that there was something wrong with Scout?
Fang Jie agreed to the factory director's friend request with some confusion, and then sent him a flattered expression.
"Director! (Flattered.jpg)"
The factory director is also quick to talk and straight to the point:
"JO God, has your next family been settled?"
Because Fang Jie's performance during the World Championship was so amazing, the audience gave him the nickname "JO God".
"Not yet, still thinking about it." Fang Jie replied.
"There should be five or six clubs that have contacted you, right?" the director asked.
"Yeah."
The director's guess was correct. If EDG is also included, seven clubs have already approached him. These seven clubs have covered almost all the giants in the LPL.
The rest is not that they don’t want it, but that they can’t afford it.
Of course, it's not that Wang Shicong can't afford something like IG, but he has deliberately ruined it and just wants to live by drawing cards.
Otherwise, Theshy and Rookie would not have become free agents during this transfer period.
"Have you considered coming to our EDG?"
Although he knew that the factory director and his friend had this intention, Fang Jie was still surprised when he actually said it.
Is there really something wrong with Scout's signing process?
If other teams extend an olive branch to me, it is naturally because they value their own strength. Even a team like TES wants to get a better one based on having a left hand.
However, EDG should not have such problems.
As far as Fang Jie's self-perception is concerned, his performance in the mid lane position in the World Championship can definitely be ranked among the top three.
But if you had to choose who is the mid laner with the best performance in S11, it would definitely be the FMVP winner in the finals, Scout of the EDG team.
Scout's performance in the World Championship is obvious to all, and the factory director will never replace him with himself just because of his strength.
Then there can only be a problem with the signing process.
The time Fang Jie traveled through happened to be at the beginning of the transfer period at the end of the S12 season, so he didn't know yet that Scout signed contracts with EDG and KT at the same time.
This wave of illegal operations by Scout directly caused EDG to face a dilemma.
If you give up Scout, you will be giving up the original championship team directly, and in this way, you will lose the huge traffic that the original team can bring if they play for another year.
However, if the contract with Scout is renewed, EDG will need to pay a high liquidated damages for him. This liquidated damages plus Scout's salary for the new season is already an astronomical figure.
Moreover, EDG felt aggrieved about this matter. When there were players of the same level on the market, EDG finally chose to contact Fang Jie first.
But Fang Jie actually had no intention of going to EDG from the beginning.
The icing on the cake is ultimately thankless.
So what if we go to EDG and win the championship?
Some might say, we were already champions before you came.
If you don't win the championship, you will be sprayed to death again.
No matter how you calculate it, it is a loss-making transaction.
Fang Jie was thinking about how to use language to tactfully reject the factory director's kindness, but unexpectedly, the factory director sent a new message.
"JO God, I don't know what kind of offer other teams have given you. We EDG can offer you a contract between 30 million and 35 million. You can really consider it seriously."
From the factory director's typing speed, Fang Jie could see that he was sincerely extending an invitation to him, rather than making a tentative offer.
However, there is no news on the market that Scout has signed with other teams, which means that there is still room for negotiation between EDG and Scout. In order to prevent EDG from ending up in a situation where neither side can get anything from both sides, Fang Jie decided to give the factory director An accurate answer:
"I'm sorry, factory director. I still like to do challenging things. Let four champion teammates lead me. Even if I win the championship, I won't be very happy."
This time, the factory director seemed to be struggling for a long time before he sent a message:
"Okay, then I won't disturb you."
"Good luck to you, God JO."
……
After declining EDG, Fang Jie also had more in-depth exchanges with the management of several clubs he is still in contact with.
TES is actually not very willing to chase Fang Jie when it has a left hand, and WBG is also hesitant to strengthen the top and middle lanes.
Although as a new capital that has just entered the e-sports field, WBG definitely wants to achieve results, but if they recruit two top players, JOJO and Theshy, at the same time, the financial investment will still greatly exceed their original budget.
The combined worth of these two players could probably keep those teams waiting to die for ten years.
Therefore, in the end, it was BLG that showed the strongest desire to pursue Fang Jie.
BLG's manager Liangfeng even stated directly: If the money is not enough, we can add more money, and the staffing can also meet Fang Jie's ideas as much as possible.
It doesn't matter if you have money or not, the latter point is so important.
So Fang Jie responded:
"Really, manager?"
"Can the players also follow my ideas?"
Liangfeng quickly replied: "Well... except for the bottom lane, we have actually been in contact with UZI and Liu Qingsong very early, and now the contract has basically been finalized."
In order to show his sincerity, Liangfeng patiently explained: "Actually, UZI sacrificed a lot for its comeback. Liu Qingsong also signed with us because of UZI's face, so this bottom lane combination cannot be moved, but for UZI, you Feel free to tell us what you think, and we will definitely try our best to find a configuration that satisfies you.”
In fact, Fang Jie was very satisfied with the bottom lane combination of UZI and Liu Qingsong. Liangfeng was so cautious, which made him feel a little touched.
The reason why Fang Jie prefers to choose BLG is the sincerity shown by the team management. In fact, the bottom lane combination of UZI and Liu Qingsong is also an extremely important reason.
If you want to win the S12 Global Finals, the laning ability of the bottom duo is very important.
In the S12 World Championship, the LPL team lost in the bot lane.
Not to mention that the policewoman in the LCK division has a fixed switch position, even if others don't use the policewoman, the bottom lane in our division still can't beat the opponent.
Therefore, the bottom lane combination with extremely strong laning ability is an extremely important piece of the championship puzzle in Fang Jie's mind.
UZI used to be a player with strong offensiveness and excellent laning ability in the bottom lane. However, one of the two strongest ADs in the S12 season was even dubbed the "Son of God" by netizens.
Yes, if he hadn't fought against Ruler and knew that he was equipped with an SSR-level characteristic pattern [Da Qiao Bu Gong], Fang Jie even suspected that Ruler also had a [Fu Er Chen] living in him, and this [ The object bound to Fujiomi is UZI.
Because when Ruler faced UZI, he almost gave him everything he wanted.
As for Gumayusi, another major AD player in the World Championship, Fang Jie also believes that UZI’s laning strength should be enough to compete with him.
Gumayusi has the title of the world's best female police officer, but UZI was also the most outstanding female police user in the world at its peak.
With UZI, the team does not need to assume the role of policewoman when it has priority to choose sides. Instead, this hero can become a powerful weapon to restrict the opponent's BP.
With the blessing of [Sick Tree Blossoms], Fang Jie doesn't have to worry about UZI's condition.
Therefore, the laning strength of the combination of UZI and Liu Qingsong has also become an important reason why Fang Jie wants to join BLG.
Although UZI seems to still be restricted by RNG's non-competition contract, Fang Jie believes that as long as he can show his peak laning strength, the BLG management will ensure his starting position.
After all, for the BLG team, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
So, Fang Jie finally made up his mind and said: "Then the manager will arrange a time for us to meet."
Liangfeng sent a surprised expression and said: "How about just these two days? I bring UZI and Liu Qingsong together?"
……
Magic City, Xintiandi, bungalow hotpot.
Coach Liangfeng made an appointment to meet at 12 noon, but in order to ensure that he would not be late, Fang Jie booked an early high-speed train, so he arrived at the appointed place half an hour early.
However, Liangfeng also sent a message to Fang Jie in advance, saying that he had reserved a seat at the Bungalow Hotpot in advance. If he came early, he could just state his proud name and go into the private room to wait.
Liangfeng also emphasized that originally the meal must have been paid for by the club, but UZI insisted on being the host this time, and he couldn't help it, so he had to give the opportunity to UZI.
As soon as Fang Jie walked into the lobby, a waiter came over and said enthusiastically: "Hello sir, do you have an appointment?"
"Mr. Jian booked the private room. I am his friend."
"Okay sir, this way please, pay attention to the steps."
Under the guidance of the waiter, Fang Jie came to a private room on the second floor.
Fang Jie thought he should be the first to arrive, after all, it was still half an hour before the agreed time, but the moment he opened the door, he found that someone was already in the room.
"JO!" After seeing Fang Jie, the puppy immediately stood up, with a hint of nervousness and expectation in his excited tone: "Quick, come in and sit here."
Fang Jie was stunned. On the one hand, he was a little overwhelmed by the puppy's enthusiasm. On the other hand, under the prying eyes of the sky, Fang Jie directly saw the destiny carried by UZI.
It was as blazing as fire, but its surface was covered with a layer of black mist.
The other group flickers on and off like a candle flame swaying in the lingering wind.
[Emotional Grid: Aspirations are hard to achieve]
[Fate level: SR]
[Characteristic: The Strongest Spear]
【Fate level: SSR】
[Fate Status: Withered]
These two fortunes made Fang Jie feel filled with emotion.
Among the two fates, Fang Jie was more concerned about the one that was about to become extinct.
This was the first time that Fang Jie saw from a player a fate that was not contaminated by bad fates, but headed directly towards withering or even death.
This SSR-level characteristic [Strongest Spear] is probably in an extremely pure state from birth until death.
Fang Jie also believes that this destiny, when in its prime, must be one of the most outstanding existences among SSR-level traits.
Originally, this fate was doomed, but now it has the possibility of returning to its peak.
Of course, all this will have to wait until the transfer matter is settled before it can be implemented.
As for the SR-level emotional pattern [ambitions are hard to achieve], UZI carries this fate, which means that he still maintains a strong desire to win the championship until now.
It’s hard to imagine that more than a year after retiring, UZI still hasn’t forgotten his original intention of becoming a professional player.
Fang Jie couldn't help but think of an interview CCTV News did with UZI before he retired.
In that interview, UZI once said with great regret that if he was given a chance to return to S8, he would be willing to give up many, many things.
In fact, UZI did not lie.
Liangfeng revealed when chatting with Fang Jie that UZI gave up about 80% of his income in order to get this chance to come back.
And he paid so much just to play the game again.
UZI himself also knows that in his current state, even with Liu Qingsong, it is still difficult to achieve results.
The chances of winning the world championship are even slimmer.
But he still wanted to rush again.
Maybe this will be the last time in his life.
No matter how much he pays, he still wants to get this one percent or even one thousandth chance of winning.
However, BLG manager Liangfeng suddenly mentioned something to him yesterday, which greatly magnified the one-in-a-thousandth chance of winning.
Liangfeng called him directly and told him that God JO might be coming to BLG.
When he heard the news, UZI almost stopped holding his phone.
"Real or fake?!"
"It's true. We have made an appointment to meet tomorrow."
"Great!" The little fat man jumped up excitedly, with a blush on his face.
Of course, UZI has a physique that is easy on the face. His face will turn red when he behaves emotionally, so his blush is caused by excitement.
Although UZI has retired, he has been paying attention to the game.
He has watched every game of JOJO in the World Championship.
Even though UZI himself is one of the most talented players, he was still impressed by Fang Jie's performance on the field.
It's hard for UZI to believe that as a rookie mid laner who just debuted, someone can actually do this.
This person's gaming talent can no longer be described as explosive.
His talent is almost that of a demon, his talent is almost that of a god.
Even if the strength of his teammates is a little higher, JOJO will become a champion right out of the gate.
Moreover, a single core led the team to win the championship, which is almost unprecedented in the history of League of Legends e-sports.
This is only the first year of his debut, and he is still in the golden stage of growth.
People may laugh at you if you say it. After the World Championship, UZI once dreamed that he and Fang Jie became teammates. The two defeated everyone in the S12 finals and successfully won the cup. In the end, they shed tears on the final stage. .
Unexpectedly, the beginning of this dream could actually become a reality.
Therefore, when UZI saw Fang Jie, his excitement was naturally beyond words.
The moment Fang Jie opened the door, a light from the corridor just passed through the gap between the door and window, and reflected on UZI's face.
This light is like fireworks in the daytime, rekindling some things that have been annihilated deep in UZI's heart.
Although Lian Po is old, his ambition is unparalleled. (End of chapter)
