Chapter 148 Sky-high signing fee shares Tomson First Grade
After the last question was answered, the interview screen faded away, and the scene of EDG holding the Summoner's Trophy above their heads in the Bird's Nest reappeared.
A gilded subtitle scrolled above.
——Congratulations to the EDG team for winning the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals.
The comment section once again erupted into heated discussion.
[Good guy, pressure from the front and pressure from the side, right? 】
[One was put under a lot of pressure and his backhand was killed, and the other found that everyone was dead when he was under pressure]
【The dog is being showered! 】
[Brother Tian didn’t take credit at all, he was praising his teammates the whole time]
[Just watch the live broadcast and you will know. Brother Tian never said that his teammates are not good when playing Rank. If his teammates lose, Brother Tian also said that if he does better, he can lead his teammates to win]
[A certain number one ADC in the world: today’s actor capture session begins]
[Otherwise one can only play four guarantees and one, and the other can play one belt and four, and the dog-bathing mentality will not win the championship]
[No wonder EDG demolished SKT’s base and displayed RNG’s logo together. They are really grateful to RNG for forcing Brother Tian to play]
[I must thank you. As a star, I want to give RNG a thumbs up]
[Knocking with five fingers like Brother Tian, right? 】
[Hahahahaha classic five fingers! 】
When the interview video was sent overseas.
European and American players responded with unprecedented astonishment.
[The gap between Tian and other players is huge, even Faker is no exception]
[The era of catching up with South Korea is over. As long as Tian is here, LPL will be the strongest region]
【It's time to welcome our new master】
[Someone told me before that Tian got close to 20 million for playing only one S game. I wonder why a player is so valuable. After reading the backstage records, I just want to say that the company can hire Tian with 20 million. Is it? Yingjin? 】
[I can’t imagine that Tian can still stand up and lead EDG to victory in such a disadvantaged situation. What a terrifying confidence]
[In terms of offense, LPL has never changed, and an irresistible super genius finally emerged]
[Tian is a top laner who has surpassed the top laner. He is the strongest player in the world and can be said to be in his own league]
[Korean people thought they lost to EDG, but they actually lost to Tian alone]
[This is a man who turns the game into a personal highlight. As long as he is on the court, we can enjoy a visual feast]
Major clubs are going crazy.
I originally thought that EDG's top laner was just a fierce fighter. Although he was strong, on the road to winning the championship, he had to rely on EDG's logistical support and team focus, as well as the care of veterans such as Clearlove, Meiko, and Scout. Personal performance was only a part of success.
I never expected that in the three BO5 matches between EDG and LZ, SSG, and SKT, the new top laner formulated the tactical system.
What does this mean?
It shows that the top laner of EDG is not only the overlord of Western Chu with unrivaled personal combat power, but he is also a soldier + a sage, and his strategy and logistics are all full!
A person has these three qualities, and as long as his teammates are normal people and don’t hold them back, he is very promising to win the league championship and even the world championship!
Just as the interview ended, Ye Tian's phone rang.
The first person to call was Ding Jun, the owner of the VG Club who bought monkeys in the year of the monkey and chickens in the year of the rooster, with the words "Foolish people, rich money, come quickly" written on his face.
Ding Jun is very sincere.
He immediately quoted an annual salary of 50 million.
but.
Not to mention that Ye Tian signed a non-competition contract with EDG not to join other LPL clubs within three years. Even if there were no contract restrictions, Ye Tian would not be able to consider VG, a team that can only be ranked at the bottom of the LPL in terms of its own strength.
This year's Spring Split, VG fell all the way to the LSPL, and only returned to the LPL in the Summer Split. Considering that YM is currently here to stir things up, it's hard to say how VG made it back...
Moreover.
The problem of the VG club is very serious. It is not that the individual players are not good enough, but that everyone has lost all their energy after losing and does not know how to win the game.
Ye Tian could cure Ming Kai's cowardice and Iboy's madness, but he really couldn't save VG's team that was like walking zombies.
The second person to call was the boss of Dousha TV.
"Brother Tian, I am Chen Jie!"
After Chen Jie introduced himself to his family, he spoke in the most sincere voice: "I didn't think it through yesterday, but I have thought it through today. Isn't it just a small goal? As long as Brother Tian, you are live broadcasting on Dousha TV, I will sell everything to get this one Come up with a small goal!”
Ye Tianyile.
to be honest.
I still miss Chen Jie's unruly demeanor before.
"Brother Tian?"
Seeing that Ye Tian didn't respond, Chen Jie added another condition: "In addition to a small target non-responsible basic salary, there is also the highest level of promotion and drainage. Although this kind of promotion and drainage is not important to you, Brother Tian, it is also Other platforms can’t provide it.”
"I'm not rejecting it, I'm just a little surprised." Ye Tian didn't continue to talk about it: "Since Boss Chen is so sincere, I won't consider it even if the price offered by other platforms is higher."
"That's great!" Chen Jie was overjoyed: "Then I'll send someone here... No, I'll personally fly over and sign the contract with Brother Tian."
Logically speaking, a small matter like signing a contract does not require Chen Jie to do it himself.
But Ye Tian is too important to Dousha TV.
Even though Dousha TV currently has a leader in the League of Legends section, he is only one of the "Three Fantasy Gods" in the live broadcast industry and is far from unique.
Ye Tian, who can only single-handedly lead EDG to win the championship and let Station C personally promote it, has the opportunity to overpower the other two fantasy gods and become the true supreme, making Dou Shark TV's number one position in the world firmly entrenched.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Boss Chen at the EDG base."
Ye Tian agreed.
2018 is a turning point for the live broadcast industry.
After the initial golden period of crazy financing, when there was never a shortage of money as long as there was popularity, we have entered a normal track where we must increase revenue and reduce expenditure to survive.
In this year, Longzhu TV, which is backed by Tencent, was unable to make ends meet and transformed into an entertainment platform that promoted female anchors to make money, so it was ordered to stop broadcasting and make rectifications.
Black and White Cat TV was resold by Principal Wang and closed down soon after.
National TV is emptied of people, and its anchors can’t even get their salaries, not to mention gifts.
Other small platforms are also in decline. Without enough funds for promotion and big anchors gradually leaving, the traffic is getting less and less day by day. Even if the server is still open, it is only in name only.
There are only two platforms suitable for selection: Dousha TV and Menghu TV.
Compared with Dousha TV, which is the same as Caotai team, Menghu TV, which was born out of YY Voice, is much more formal. After strict cost accounting, it was only offered to Ye Tian for 70 million, a difference of nearly 50% between the two.
As for other platforms…
No matter how high the amount you ask is paper, it's not money you can get in your hands. "Have you decided to sign Dousha?" the factory director asked from the side.
"You must sign with a big platform. Dousha is currently the largest in the industry." Ye Tian stretched his waist: "And since Dousha has been broadcasting, the fan base is better."
"Okay, you play well, and I will give you gifts for your first show after signing the contract." The factory director made follow-up plans: "If you don't play next year, I will contact other top orders to come to EDG."
"Who to contact?" Ye Tian asked casually.
"That Ray from the C9 team." The factory director didn't hide it either: "Ray came out of our EDG youth training. He also played a few games in C9. His level is not bad, but he can't compete with Da Mu in the starting lineup. He has been contacting me before and said he wants to return to EDG. , I’ll try to bring him over during the transfer period... Speaking of which, would you like to come over and give him some guidance?”
"Guide him? How to give guidance?" Ye Tianle asked: "We will fight him in solo games to show off his power, right?"
"Forget it Solo." The factory director couldn't bear to think of that scene: "Although Ray's level is okay, there is a big gap between him and a monster like you. See what you can teach him and give him some experience. "
In the opinion of the factory director, Ye Tian has a gap-level lead compared to other top laners.
This lead is not only reflected in the operation, but more importantly in the awareness, understanding and special routines of various heroes. If you just slip something through your fingers, Ray can get a significant improvement.
"Let me see what he can do." Ye Tian agreed.
"Ray? Isn't it the top laner Zhi Zhi that Brother Tian mentioned?" Iboy recalled: "Yes, that's the Ray Zhi!"
"It's okay to say it now. Don't say it until Ray comes. He should be able to understand what wisdom means." Meiko reminded with a smile.
Mouse was also having fun.
As this year's legendary zero-win-rate champion top laner, although Mouse cannot continue to stay in the EDG team due to lack of personal talent, he has decided to join RW sponsored by ROG Player Nation during the transfer period, and he also has a bright future.
We chatted briefly.
The EDG players went to the dormitory on the second floor to pack their luggage.
This winter transfer period is from November 21st to December 21st. For EDG players who have played all the way to the S7 finals and have to be interviewed by Station C, the rest time in between is only half a month, so they naturally have to race against time to go home and show off. .
Scout was not on the interview list at station C and had already flown to South Korea. Iboy, Meiko, and Mouse also left the EDG base soon.
At night.
EDG boss Ed Zhu came over and invited Ye Tian, the factory director, and Abu to have dinner on the Bund.
After getting rid of the bad habit of eating staple food and filling his stomach with seafood such as king crab, wave dragon, and geoduck, Ye Tian admired the river view and offered: "If you have anything to say, boss, just say it. I will try my best to agree."
Anyone who knows a little bit about the world knows that eating is never just about eating.
As soon as he returned to the base, Ed Zhu invited all the staff to a celebration banquet. This time he invited the factory director and Abu, who had a good relationship with Ye Tian, to have a small dinner together. He must have other ideas.
Now that we have eaten this meal, there is no need to wait for Edju to speak.
As for whether to agree or not...it depends on the specific matter. It doesn't matter if it is a simple matter. If it affects the money-making plan, Ye Tian will not lose face because of a mere meal.
"No big deal."
Ed Zhu took out a document: "Ninety percent of the credit for this year's championship belongs to you Ye Tian. Just getting one apartment like everyone else is too little. Here is the same share transfer agreement as Ming Kai. As long as Just sign it and it’s yours.”
"Also, you will definitely need rooms and equipment for your next live broadcast. I'll help you rent a front-row river view room from Tomson Yipin next to you. Let's go there and take a look later."
"Well..." Ye Tian thought about it for a moment: "Thank you, boss, but I will be disrespectful."
EDG shares are actually useless.
The rights of small shareholders of unlisted companies are approximately zero, and the dividends are not much. After all, the profits of e-sports clubs are only that much. As for the LPL, except for EDG and WE, everyone is losing money. EDG will not be able to pay dividends for a year. It's less than seven figures.
Ai Dezhu simply gave away shares, but Ye Tian might not be willing to accept them.
It's different to get a room with a river view from Tomson First Class.
The annual rent of Tomson Yipin is at least one million, and Ye Tian himself is really reluctant to spend it. For the sake of this money, he also wants to take over the EDG shares.
Neither emotion nor reason can accept one and reject the other.
"Okay, okay!"
Ed Zhu was quite happy to give the money.
Just because Ye Tian can't go to other LPL clubs in three years doesn't mean EDG is qualified to be the boss.
With Ye Tian's reputation gained through his Invincible + Station C interview and promotion at this year's World Finals, he can rest on his laurels for a lifetime. Whether he is willing to come out to compete depends on his mood.
not to mention.
In addition to LPL, there are other competition regions!
Before the documentary was broadcast, other competition regions could only see Ye Tian's operations, and may not be willing to pay a particularly high price to poach people.
After the documentary was broadcast, not to mention Europe, North America, and even the LCK division, which has never introduced foreign players, I am afraid that there will be many clubs competing with EDG. Among them, there will be top plutocrats or sports giants supporting them. EDG is in There is no advantage in throwing money at it.
Therefore, from Ed Zhu's perspective, the most critical thing is to have a good relationship with Ye Tian.
Don't want to play a game?
It’s okay.
It doesn’t matter whether we play in the regular season or not.
When EDG enters the World Championship, they can invite Ye Tian over to help formulate the tactical system, or simply ask Ye Tian to play as a booster!
As for the problem of insufficient tacit understanding since we don't usually play together... Ed Zhu believes that with Ye Tian's strength, no matter how poor his tacit understanding with others is, his performance on the field will be much better than other top laners.
This year is the perfect example.
Without Ye Tian, EDG would have a high chance of overturning in both the summer finals and the group stage. Faced with LZ top laner Khan's strong attack, SSG team's vision suppression, and SKT's legendary mid laner Faker's one-guaranteed four, it would be even harder to win. Any team can carry EDG away.
It was Ye Tian who single-handedly turned everything around, allowing other players to have no worries, and uniting the entire team into an iron plate to win the world finals championship.
We can do it this year.
It's still possible to do it next year.
Ye Tian knew Ai Dezhu's thoughts clearly.
In a dialogue between smart people, there is no need to put everything on the table and explain everything clearly, as long as everyone understands it tacitly.
If EDG maintains good condition and can reach the World Championships and have the possibility of achieving higher results, Ye Tian wouldn't mind taking another order.
Anyway, the World Championship only takes a short month, and the exposure can be fully achieved, which is very cost-effective.
In addition, there is no particularly good team to go to in the S8 season. EDG will try to retain the original team.
certainly.
If EDG fails next year, Ye Tian can't be blamed.
"Come on, boss, let's go see Tomson Yipin's house."
Abu half-jokingly said: "I have never been to such a high-end community in my life. It's just an eye-opener. When Mingkai and I come over to Ye Tian in the future, please don't open the door!"
Finally came out...
