Chapter 419 Unkind Invitation


Chapter 419: A Gentle Invitation

“Hello, Manager Lai!”

At one o’clock in the afternoon on March 23, Dongjiang City Caiqiao Railway Station.

Lai Chen, who had just arrived at the exit, quickly spotted the "Assistant An An" who had often served as the "Executive Deputy Anchor" in the [Go Xiao Zhao] live broadcast room among the people picking him up.

Everyone in the Go circle has watched some of the live broadcasts of [Go Xiao Zhao], and Lai Chen is no exception.

However, since she stopped serving as Rui Zhao's live broadcast assistant, news quickly broke out on the Internet: Ai Jian'an's true identity is actually Rui Zhao's agent and boss.

So, Lai Chen was not too surprised that Ai Jianan came to greet him.

He is not here today for the live broadcast - he is here to talk about business.

After receiving the news from his boss Gong Quanzhen yesterday, he immediately contacted Ai Jianan and explained his intention to contact him and planned to talk in person.

The other party’s reply was also very simple: without further ado, let’s do it today.

This decision is easy to understand - the qualifiers for the Mulan Tournament will start tomorrow, and although the main event will officially start in the Central Plains Province on the 26th, if you want to finalize the matter before the start of the Mulan Tournament, it is indeed better to do it sooner rather than later.

So Lai Chen didn’t waste any time and immediately booked today’s high-speed rail ticket and arrived in Dongjiang at one o’clock in the afternoon.

"Hello, Miss Ai!"

Lai Chen greeted back:

"Although I have seen [Go Xiao Zhao] many times in the live broadcast before, in reality It’s the first time I’ve seen her in person! She’s just as beautiful as in the live broadcast!

"Now you are also a well-known beauty in our chess circle! I am really flattered that you came to pick her up in person!"

"Ah, Manager Lai thanks you! Please..."

The two parties were polite for a while, and then Ai Jianan picked up Lai Chen in a private car, and then went directly to the location of this afternoon’s negotiation...


< br>

"Uh... um, Miss Ai...

" Just, just talk here? "

Half an hour later, in a training classroom at the Muhu Go Dojo.

Lai Chen looked around briefly and couldn't help but ask first.

According to his expectations, as a business negotiation, even if it is not in a teahouse or a business club, it will still be in an office building or office, right?

But he never expected that after receiving him, Ai Jian'an took him directly to an ordinary training room in the Muhu Go Dojo. There was even a chessboard for studying changes and an AI connected to the cloud. of tablet.

And the "Live Broadcast Queen Zhao Tianhou", who was already considered a big figure in the chess world, was sitting in front of him in a formal manner. She had no airs at all and was a bit like a grassroots team member.

"Ah, although I also think that business negotiations should be more formal..."

Ai Jian'an on the side shrugged, with a helpless expression:

"But Xiao Zhao didn't want to waste any training time, so she chose this place.

"How neglectful. I'll ask you to find a better place to eat tonight..."

"Ah, Miss Ai, you misunderstood! I also think it's pretty good here!

"Just and Past experience has been different, just confirm. "

Lai Chen quickly rounded off the sentence, but the slightly embarrassed look on his face did not disappear:

"But Rui Zhao is in the sixth stage...

"Let's talk about the signing... Do we need so many people to come?"

After saying this, Lai Chen couldn't help but glance at the three elders sitting on both sides of Rui Zhao with serious expressions, and his tone was quite serious. It's a bit complicated.

Hearing this, Lao Lei Jiuduan was not happy, and immediately retorted:

"What's so strange about this? What's wrong with the three of us teachers helping the students?"

"Ah this..."

"Hey, when an intelligent and educated person is talking, don't interrupt, you fool!"

Teacher Yu on the side gave Lei Jingming a roll of his eyes without hesitation, and then said with a smile:

"Manager Lai, don't mind!

"We old guys are also entrusted by Rui Zhao's parents to witness together. There is no other meaning. You treat the three of us as nothing. Just fine!

“As long as everything you propose is reasonable, we are just three spectators!”

"I, I understand..."

Lai Chen still looked embarrassed, but he also knew that today the conversation would only begin under the eyes of the three elders.

But that's okay. He feels that the treatment and conditions he brought today are completely defensible, and he is not too afraid of the three old guys picking on him.

"Uh... that's okay! Let's officially start!" I won't talk about anything else and just talk about the main point:

"Miss Rui Zhao, your core demand this time is, If you join our team, do you have to be a main player?

"Yeah!"

The girl nodded vigorously, and then said in a slightly dull voice:

"To be precise, the specific number of battles, I I can obey the team's arrangements, but unless I am willing not to play, the team cannot take me out of the lineup.

"This must be written into the contract. ”

Such a formal statement was naturally not thought up by Hanhan himself, but was taught by Ai Jianan in advance.

In front of possible future employers, Miss Ai still hopes that Rui Zhao will be more assertive to avoid being manipulated inexplicably in the future.

At this time, Ai Jian'an also added appropriately:

"In addition, in terms of treatment, if you can agree to our request, we can make appropriate concessions within a reasonable range.< br>
“But as an agent... I still hope it won’t be too shameful, otherwise it will have an impact on our Xiao Zhao’s worth. ”

"Ah, I understand, please rest assured about this, Miss Ai."

Lai Chen quickly responded:

"Rui Zhao 6th Dan is the hope of our Chinese women and even all young chess players. Star, after evaluation by our team, we also believe that she is fully qualified to participate in the siege. "The treatment we offer is absolutely guaranteed to satisfy Rui Zhao's sixth level.

“In terms of monthly salary, we can give you 15,000 yuan a month. The victory fee is 20,000 yuan per game. In the playoffs, it will rise to 40,000 yuan per game.”

"Huh? So high?!"

Hearing this, Lei Jingming, who was a substitute chess player for the Dongjiang team last season, was surprised.

Because he naturally knows that such an income is already very, very high for a borderline chess player like Rui Zhao!

Although they all play in the same league, the income difference between the various chess players in Weijia is very large.

For a top chess player like Lin Ruixin, although the specific salary has not been clearly revealed to the outside world, there is no doubt that the winning fee for a single game must be more than six figures. Most estimates range from 150,000 to 200,000.

But... there is only one well-paid chess player like Lin Ruixin in the current Chinese Wei Jia. Most ordinary or even marginal chess players who play Wei Jia naturally do not have such a high income.

In the current market situation, if a chess player like Rui Zhao, who is on the fringe of the main force, plays Weijia, his monthly salary is generally only 8,000, and the victory fee is usually around 10,000.

But the Pohu team actually directly gave them a salary and income that was above the average level for the entire siege. This cannot be said to be insincere!

When Lai Chen heard Lao Lei Jiudan's exclamation, he immediately smiled:

"You are worthy of being Lei Jiudan who maintains his condition very well at this age! He also understands the current situation very well. What's going on!

"So in terms of sincerity, please rest assured that our team will never treat Miss Rui Zhao badly."

Of course, being praised by the negotiating opponent is not good news.

Yu Qingguang on the side immediately gave Xiaolei's father a look of contempt for his IQ without any politeness, and then asked the student very neatly:

"Then... ...Manager Lai, what do you want?

“With such a good treatment, it can’t be because your team is short of flowers, right? ”

Yu Qingguang's question makes sense.

In his opinion, Ai Jian'an has already stated that he can make concessions in terms of treatment, but the other party still gave wages and victory fees above the standard without hesitation, which means...

The other party must have other conditions!

"Ah... Yu Jiuduan is indeed the magic teller of the year. I can't hide anything from you!"

Lai Chen first smiled and said politely, and then started to lure out his Gong Gong according to the planned plan. The additional condition the boss gave him:

"That's right! Actually, it's mainly about the unconditional right to appear that Rui Zhao requested in the sixth section...

"I have to say that this is actually a very, very high request. As far as I know, there has never been such a precedent in the history of Weijia..."

At this time, Ai Jian'an frowned and interjected:

"Can't it be done? ”

Hearing this question, Lai Chen smiled slightly:

"You can do it too!

"Both Mr. Gong and I admire Miss Rui Zhao's strength very much.

“But... we also hope that Miss Rui Zhao can understand that if we want to agree to this condition, we will have to make huge concessions.

“For fairness reasons, In order to have closer and more pleasant cooperation between us, in exchange, we also hope that Miss Rui Zhao will agree to our unkind request. "

"What kind of unkind invitation? "Ai Jian'an asked immediately.

Lai Chen took his time and continued to talk:

“This is it: In fact, in addition to the men’s team winning the second division championship last year and successfully being promoted to the first division, our women’s team also won the title of women’s team. The second place will also start our first women’s siege journey in May.

“We discussed it internally, in order to enhance cooperation between the two parties, and to avoid Miss Rui Zhao between Dongjiang and Hongdu. Traveling back and forth consumes energy and affects the competitive state. We hope that Miss Rui Zhao can join our Pohu women's team while joining the men's team.

"This is the best of both worlds. I wonder what Miss Rui Zhao thinks?"
