Chapter 82: We are an all-Chinese team

The price TES gave was extremely exaggerated.

Even though Su Xing had prepared himself mentally, he felt a sense of disbelief. This kind of price was probably only something Lee Sang-hyeok in his prime would have a chance of getting in the LPL.

"Reasonable."

Gao Wen on the side glanced at the number on the note and felt a bit stunned at first, but upon reflection, she thought it was reasonable. If one were to measure Su Xing's value purely from the perspective of a professional player, then he definitely couldn't be worth this number, but what if it wasn't just the identity of a professional player? This point had already been verified in tonight's livestream; even if Su Xing just opened a stream and played games there, he could have millions in turnover.

Relying on his current popularity, as long as Su Xing nodded, there would be countless MCN agencies willing to take out tens of millions to sign him and let him go to Douyin to sell goods. Selling tens of millions in turnover in one night was no problem.

Even Huya could predict that this matter was far from over. Could the actuaries of the Belle Group behind TES not calculate it? With the official media stepping in to further promote this matter, Su Xing's popularity would at least be maintained for a month. During this month, as long as it was operated properly, the revenue Su Xing could create would be far more than one hundred million.

It sounds unbelievable, but in a society where traffic is king, it is just this exaggerated.

"It is indeed a number that is hard to refuse."

Following that, Su Xing opened the note handed over by Lan Lianhua, but the next moment, he was stunned.

The number on this note was exactly the same as the number provided by Guo Hao, which meant that JDG was also willing to offer this salary to sign him.

"The conditions you two offered are exactly the same."

Su Xing paused for a few seconds and said, "It is indeed a bit hard to choose, but I am more curious if this number is a one-year salary?"

Hearing this, Guo Hao and Lan Lianhua looked at each other and didn't feel surprised. After all, this value was calculated by the actuaries of their respective groups behind them, so even if there was an error, it wouldn't be much different.

One hundred million, no more, no less, just right for Su Xing's current value.

"Of course."

Guo Hao took the lead and said, "After one year, we will re-evaluate your value and provide a new contract, if we still have the opportunity to cooperate by then."

He didn't hide anything and said directly that with Su Xing's current traffic, he was worth a contract of this price.

But no one knew what would happen a year later, so neither the Belle Group nor the JDG Group could directly provide a three-year contract.

"Reasonable."

Su Xing nodded and thought for a moment, "You won't add extra clauses to the contract, right?"

This wasn't Su Xing being cautious, but the LPL had indeed had such situations in the early years. Not to mention anything else, in S10, A Shui went to RNG for a stroll and ended up paying a huge sum.

Everyone:... "We are not a small workshop like RNG."

Lan Lianhua coughed a few times and said, "Besides, we have JDG behind one and Belle behind the other; we really wouldn't do such embarrassing things."

"You don't have to worry about this point. Since we are willing to bring out a contract with this kind of salary, it proves that you indeed have this commercial value."

Guo Hao smiled and said, "If in the end it really can't reach the expected effect, then it can only mean our judgment was wrong. If there really is a business in this world that doesn't lose money, it wouldn't be our turn."

One hundred million is Su Xing's current commercial value, but as for how to operate it later to let Su Xing's commercial value be fully exerted, that depends on their own ability.

"You don't have to worry about the contract; the legal department here at Huya can provide assistance."

At this time, Gao Wen spoke slowly, "At the very least, I can guarantee that your contract won't have any horrifying clauses. As for more details, it depends on your own decision whether to accept it." One hundred million is not a small number; it's impossible for Su Xing to just sign his name and get one hundred million.

By then, a contract could be hundreds of pages thick, marking out all kinds of details, and it might even be strict enough to stipulate how many activities Su Xing has to participate in during the contract period, as well as various clauses for filming advertisements and the like.

"If you are willing to join TES, the Belle Group will establish a joint charity foundation, and we promise to invest ten million into it every year to provide basic rural education."

One hundred million is just the salary number on the contract; adding more actually wouldn't add much.

Adding too much, they felt it wasn't realistic. They couldn't just add it to two hundred million in one breath, right?

Although the groups behind them have a lot of money, they aren't stupid; it's impossible not to do any risk management. The cost of two hundred million is too great; no one is willing to take this kind of risk.

But adding too little, adding a few million here and there, would inevitably seem a bit small-minded.

He believed Lan Lianhua and the JDG behind him felt the same way.

In this situation, both companies defaulted to one hundred million being the standard, and under the same standard salary conditions, Guo Hao knew that to persuade Su Xing, he had to bring out some extra conditions.

"JDG can do this too."

Lan Lianhua spread his hands and smiled, "In terms of doing charity, I don't think JDG's conditions would be worse than any other company."

Guo Hao:... This sentence... for a moment, he couldn't refute it.

"We can give you a guarantee of being a starter."

"Just kidding, it sounds like we at JDG can't guarantee it."

As the two talked, they both started to get a bit heated. There was no way, absolutely no way; when one of them proposed a condition, the other could inevitably follow up.

"We are an all-Chinese team!"

Guo Hao was pushed to the edge and said directly, "And currently, we are also the most competitive all-Chinese team!"

"Did you forget being sent home by G2?"

Lan Lianhua almost laughed out loud. What era is this, and you're still consuming the all-Chinese team? For so many years, the bloody lessons have told every LPL manager one thing: you can want to compete for the championship, but don't think about any all-Chinese team. None of those who touched it had a good ending.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the result now is that an all-Chinese team cannot win the world championship.

"Accident, that was an accident."

Guo Hao's mouth twitched slightly. That day when playing G2, everyone's state was worse than the last. Being 3:0ed, what could he, as a manager, do?

As for the all-Chinese team... Guo Hao naturally knew how difficult it was for an all-Chinese team to win the championship, but he felt that the LPL didn't lack championships anymore; what it lacked was the breath of an all-Chinese team winning the championship.

Although it's difficult, he didn't think there was anything embarrassing about it. If it doesn't work in one year, then come back the second year; if it doesn't work in the second year, then the third year! "Alright, I know where I should go."

Just at this moment, Su Xing spoke slowly and gave his answer.
