Chapter 82 TES!
Can such a good thing happen?
Fan Jun's first reaction was when he read the project proposal given by Lin Shuyang and learned that the other party had a requirement for absolute control of the club.
It's a deal, double happiness is coming!
This is called double happiness.
Taobao is eager to get real e-sports talents, and Lin Shuyang is currently the best candidate. I thought his requirements would be harsh, but it turned out that the reason why people wanted actual control of the club was that they wanted to have a say in the formation of the training team and the purchase of players; he could be fully responsible for improving the club's various operational plans and other related matters.
Requesting different rights for the same shares? What a big deal!
Why do they enter e-sports? Is it just to make money?
That's definitely not the case. Investing in e-sports clubs, there are only two clubs in the entire LPL that can make money from the clubs, WE in front of you and EDG next door.
However, for the company, it would have to spend several targets in the marketing market every year. If you invest in film and television, you also have to worry about whether it can be broadcast on time; whether the plot content can arouse discussion after it is released on time. If you invest in a celebrity as a spokesperson, you must consider the purchasing power of fans and whether the house will collapse in the future. Compared with the small amount of liquidated damages, you are afraid that the double-edged sword of star effect will bring bad consequences to the brand. Subsequent effects.
E-sports does not have these concerns. In 2016, one finals alone brought hundreds of millions of views, and there were also billions of views on various video websites and short videos. There is also discussion on Weibo, Hupu, and Tieba, and its breadth of coverage is unrivaled in the current mainstream media market.
His trip was not in vain. Thank you Weibo, JD.com, and large companies like you for your persistence.
You must treat the person in charge of your operations department to a big meal when you go back!
Oh, let HR block the resume of the general manager of your e-sports project.
Facing Fan Jun's bright smile, Lin Shuyang's brain inevitably shut down.
same.
agree.
Just agreed?
Lin Shuyang:? ? ?
He was ready to bargain with Taobo, and even if it couldn't be done, he immediately called the big boss of Schalke 04 and went directly to Karun European Division.
Why did it come to Taobo that he directly agreed?
Looking at the reaction of the young man opposite, Fan Junxi said with a smile, "Manager Lin, I must praise you. Your e-sports club plan is perfect, and it is also in line with our e-sports entry into e-sports and our future e-sports products." Integrated development concept ”
"I think the parent company will be very relieved that Top Club has a person like you at the helm."
"But..."
Fan Jun glanced at Pei Le meaningfully.
but?
Lin Shuyang was not surprised at all. If the opponent didn't provide any conditions, he would start to wonder if the opponent had prepared some sinkhole waiting for him to jump into.
I am not afraid that you will make conditions, but I am afraid that you will not mention them.
Pei Le left the room silently. You must be measured as a person, and even more so as a middleman.
Now that the two sides have reached the stage of negotiating details, it is inappropriate for him to continue to stay here.
To be honest, he also read Xiao Linzi's club development plan.
Heartbeat!
It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.
However, when he thought about the large amounts of money that would be spent, Pei Le knew that WE still lacked some money-making ability.
After all, there is no national sports retail giant dad behind them who is not short of money.
Crunch!
After the door closed, Fan Jun regained the smile on his face and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, we don't have any gambling agreement. Taobo has its own evaluation team. In fact, we have been observing Manager Lin for a long time. We are sincere in our cooperation." To be honest, Top Sports needs the traffic of e-sports and hopes that the club can thrive in the hands of Manager Lin—oh no, Mr. Lin.”
"In terms of shares, the company will also allow you to subscribe upwards based on the club's performance each year."
"Of course, the club naming and subsequent commercial promotion cannot be changed, just like Mr. Lin, you must have absolute control of the club."
"Two years!"
"We will give you at least two years, whether it is the LPL or the World Championship. If the club's development does not reach the estimated level, the parent company will also consider taking over absolute control of the club again."
"I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks?"
"To be honest, the conditions you gave can be regarded as the ceiling within the rules." Lin Shuyang said frankly: "I think I have no reason to refuse."
Two years?
One year is enough.
Not to mention that I already have countless gold cards, even if I don't have them at the moment, relying on Taobo's financial resources, I can gather the conditions for obtaining results in the shortest possible time.
"Haha, then congratulations in advance on our happy cooperation!" Fan Jun stood up and stretched out his right hand.
Lin Shuyang also extended his hand and shook hands with the executive director of Taobo Sports, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
call!
Confirm cooperation with TES.
It can also be considered the first step in updating your identity.
The general direction has been discussed, and then only some contract details such as club construction, share distribution and control rights are left to be discussed. Another purpose of Fan Jun's visit today is naturally to subscribe for the LPL seat of Team WE's second team.
Speaking of which, Lin Shuyang was able to sit in this position and negotiate with these companies, thanks to Mr. Pei's unwavering support.
Want to buy a team spot?
Okay, show your sincerity.
When everyone's bids are similar, it's natural to decide which one is more sincere and which one will do the deal.
As for sincerity - the team quota and manager are bundled and sold together, so you can decide whether you want it or not.
So Mr. Pei said that he has given enough rewards to WE in the past few years, but after this time, he owes a lot of debt again.
"Oh, by the way, you don't have to worry about the chores of landing and decorating the club base. At the same time, the company will send you an assistant. If you have anything, you can leave it to her to coordinate."
Fan Jun added: "The team name is tentatively TOPESPORTS. The company is professional in making team logos and team uniforms. If you have any ideas, just let the assistant give feedback."
Lin Shuyang nodded: "Okay, now we need to confirm the roster of our Taobo team for the summer competition as soon as possible. In terms of players..."
"Professional things are done by professional people." Fan Jun waved his hand, "The company's first funds for the development of the club will arrive within three days. After we sign the contract, you can use that funds to buy players. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the team’s training team or the club’s manager position, it’s up to you.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"As for other early-stage resources needed for the development of the club, just ask, and the club will do its best to satisfy you."
What is absolute control?
This is called absolute control!
It can be said that apart from the fact that the club is called Taobo E-Sports Club and the team is called TES Team, Lin Shuyang alone has the final say on this club.
Behind the scenes, Taobo Sports only cares about making gold coins and looking at the traffic feedback every quarter.
"Oh, by the way, I don't know if I have time now. If it's convenient, please take me to visit the WE Club." Fan Jun became interested, "Speaking of which, today is also the first time that I have had close contact with the field of e-sports in so many years of business. .”
In the opponent's plan, Sunshine, a WE player who has not yet retired, was linked to the initial promotion of the TES club.
The WE team unexpectedly agreed, which puzzled him.
As the target of the next business negotiation, Fan Jun now really wants to see the daily operations of an e-sports club.
Subsequently, after the contract with TES was negotiated, the transfer of ME's LPL seats was also very smooth.
Ninety-six million!
A very satisfactory price for both parties.
Needless to say, WE, the original second team itself is a team on the verge of relegation in the secondary league, and the money for LPL seats is like picking up for free.
Not to mention that in the future, it can help a certain player find a new team to collect some "gift money" from it. It's like Qin Shihuang touching the wires - a big win.
The seat fee of 96 million is not expensive for TopBo. The company's evaluation team has calculated that the LPL will continue to carry out alliance reforms starting from this summer split, including new policies such as army expansion, cancellation of relegation, and the establishment of a home and away game system. , then more and more external capital will pay attention to e-sports, and seat fees will only be higher.
After the quota is determined, it becomes a matter of team players.
Although Fan Jun was curious about the original members of the ME team and why their future boss of TES only left one assistant, considering that Lin Shuyang should have his own arrangements, he did not question it out loud.
Again, they are professionals.
A team at the bottom of the secondary league was brought to the LPL, and they were worried that they would not be able to find better players to play in the LPL.
All matters were finalized, and after Mr. Fan and others left the base, Mr. Pei couldn't wait to open the champagne in the office.
Of course, regarding the transfer of ME team quota, the two parties discussed Lin Shuyang’s termination of contract and left WE Club and decided to temporarily suppress it without making an official announcement.
Firstly, the registration and base renovation of the TES team have not yet been completed. Secondly, Lin Shuyang still has unfinished tasks to complete on the WE side.
After the registration of the TES team is completed and the club has landed, they will issue an announcement together.
Pei Le, who took seat fees, sold several player contracts, and earned additional liquidated damages as a second-team manager, boldly stated that he would definitely cooperate with the initial publicity of the establishment of the TES club.
……
After signing the contract, Lin Shuyang did not forget his role.
While turning around and investing in the training of the youth training team, he did not forget to assist the members of the first team in preparing for the playoffs.
Thanks to ranking first in the regular season points, WE only needs to start from the semi-finals of the playoffs and wait for the winner of the previous knockout round of Group A.
There are advantages and disadvantages to such a competition system. The advantage of a team with a high ranking is that it does not have to start from the first round and can hide the tactical system and retain the energy of the players to the greatest extent. Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, the players have not played for a long time. , it is easy to feel rusty, resulting in poor performance on the playing field.
Of course, this problem has not been found among the current WE people for the time being.
WE's semi-finalists have been determined.
In the quarter-finals of the playoffs, the OMG team fought IM for five rounds. In the end, OMG won the match point game 3-2 under the perfect performance of Sima Laothief and successfully advanced.
They will face OMG in the LPL semifinals on the 22nd.
At the same time, the official arrangements for the youth training selection challenge were also sent to Lin Shuyang and others.
Time: April 22nd, 13:00 sharp, before the LPL semi-finals, BO1 format!
The time coincides perfectly.
