562:VGs turning point(1/2)

What is the concept of a no-liability guarantee of 28 million?

As we all know, the current salary level in the LOL circle is very high.

Because it contains bonus terms.

In particular, young players with potential who have not yet received outstanding honors are often transferred suddenly and receive what the outside world calls high salaries, and most of them sign similar contracts.

For example, a potential new star's basic salary is 300W, and if he joins the team to enter the World Championship, he will receive 100W, and if he reaches the semi-finals, he will receive an additional 100W, and if he wins the championship, he will receive another 150W.

After the contract is signed, the club will release news saying that we spent 6.5 million to sign a top newcomer.

In fact, what players can get steadily is 3 million W before tax!

As for why the salary is so high, there is a lot of knowledge involved, and it is closely related to factors such as club value evaluation and industry environment. I can only say that I understand everything.

Players with truly high base salaries without responsibility are either popular or capable players who have achieved sufficient results, and must have bargaining power.

Like this season's VG five-man team, the four players except Jack have contracts with high basic salary models to ensure as much economic benefits as possible after they are acquired.

During the winter transfer period after the end of S6, Gu Xing's non-responsible basic salary was 1,000W, which was considered the only salary for domestic e-sports players at the time.

But it pales in comparison to the 28 million offered by JD.com!

The call was made by Lan Boqing. He is the boss of Yuanchu Group and holds 60% of the shares of the JD.com team. The e-commerce company JD.com is the title sponsor brought by him and holds 40% of the shares.

So it was Lan Boqing who talked about the JD team, and he spoke loudly on the phone.

"As long as you join JDG, Brother Xing, you will decide the lineup for next season, and I will be responsible for paying for it without saying a word!"

Since Lan Baiqing entered the league in the summer split, he has wanted to form a top team to fulfill his desire to dominate the league, and he is willing to spend a lot of money to do so.

It must be said that the conditions offered by Lan Baiqing are quite attractive.

Gu Xing turned around and informed Ding Jun according to the previous agreement.

Late at night, Boss Ding did not feel sleepy at all.

"2800W..." He took a breath.

"This salary increase is too exaggerated," Gu Xing himself found it very puzzling. "Is it intentional to raise the price?"

"Probably not," Ding Jun sighed, "According to the information currently available, players' salaries have ushered in a new explosive period."

As mentioned before, player salaries experienced two surges at the end of S4 and S6.

The key factor for the former is that a large number of Korean players have come to China to participate in the live broadcast platform and participate in the player salary structure, which has caused players' wages to rise; for the latter, VG's first championship blessing and the home game of the S7 World Championship have prompted various teams to raise prices to snatch strong players.

To get a share of the traffic cake.

Ding Jun feels that the third surge in income for players has arrived.

After the end of the S7 season, the overall ratings of the global finals have not yet been released, but the peak number of people watching online at the same time on a single platform of Mouse Channel is well documented.

4.43 million people!

Breaking the ratings data in the history of League of Legends and even e-sports, a perfect fault-line dominance!

Moreover, there are basically no domestic viewers watching the Mouse Channel, and the largest group of spectators has not yet been counted.

If nothing else, after VG wins the championship in the Bird's Nest, the number of viewers of League of Legends games will expand to unimaginable levels!

The continuous expansion of the spectator group will inevitably promote the continuous development of the commercialization of the event, and it is reasonable for players' salaries to increase again.

Moreover, next year, LPL will officially enter the league. After the promotion and relegation games are cancelled, major capitals will rush in. Suning and JD.com have taken the lead in entering the market. In the future, more companies will want to share the cake. This group of wealthy people will inevitably drive up the players.

Worth!

As a double Grand Slam S-level champion and double FMVP, Gu Xing can even beat Faker in terms of historical status.

To put it bluntly, more than 60% of the huge number of fans accumulated by VG from two championships are concentrated on the ID Virtue!

Relying on his honor and popularity, Gu Xing can naturally enjoy unique and super high treatment!

"I will try my best to match this offer," Ding Jun gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, little Gu, I will never treat you badly!"

But when he hung up the phone, he was also in trouble.

In the current situation, if there is no ultra-high salary space of more than 55 million, VG will simply not be able to retain the original team!

This is still player salary. Should coach salary be increased?

Including the salaries of management personnel and the cost of villa rental, water, electricity and network, the investment in the League of Legends branch alone will exceed 70 million!

For Ding Jun, who prides himself on his ability to make money, the financial pressure has exceeded the limit.

He remembered his previous ambition to retain the championship team, but he felt that it was difficult to get off the tiger.

"Is the boss of JDG out of his mind?" He greeted Lan Boqing cordially in Hangzhou's native dialect, "Where did this guy get his money?"

Ding Jun was pacing back and forth in the office and thinking.

A sudden inspiration came to me and I felt suddenly enlightened!

Ding Jun has a certain understanding of Lan Boqing's background.

To be honest, there is still a gap between our financial resources and our own Huading Group.

Then doesn’t Lan Baiqing rely on JD.com’s 40% investment share to support it?

Got it!

Ding Jun was ecstatic and thought he had found the perfect solution.

Gu Xing was also very happy.

After all, how many people can resist the temptation of a salary increase worth tens of millions?

That night, Gu Xing received offers from no less than 10 clubs.

There are many teams from outside the division.

Ah P and Carlos personally called to invite him, and even roped in his old teammate Imp as a lobbyist, offering a huge contract worth 2.7 million euros per year.

However, the price is not very competitive. Now that the golden age of 1:10 yuan for the euro has passed, the money you get after converting the exchange rate and tax rate is not much.

G2 has two advantages.

One is the lineup.

The players are all among the best in the division. Gu Xing has always won the championship in the past, and G2 won six consecutive league championships, no matter what!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The second is that in Europe, I can be closer to my girlfriend who will go to France for exchange next spring.

But Gu Xing declined the invitation without much thought.

He didn't think about falling in love so much that he had to leave his hometown and go to an outside competition area just for a brief separation of half a year.

Most of the fame and reputation he has accumulated is in the LPL, and Gu Xing has no reason to leave.

Clubs from North America also came to join in the fun. TSM quoted an offer of US$3 million, which proved the character of NA people who are stupid and quick to make money. They also promised that as long as he signs the contract, the race knights will immediately leave!

It’s just that Gu Xing didn’t want to dawdle next season, so he still rejected the invitation from the North American team - just to have fun, how can he achieve world championship results with NA players who work 9 to 5 and want to have two days off?

After writing down the quotes from each company in a memo, Gu Xing fell asleep.

When I woke up at noon the next day, it was bright outside the window.

He spent two weeks traveling with his parents in the imperial capital and has now returned to his hometown in Zhenhai. The Ningbo Mansion he previously purchased in the Eastern New City has not yet been handed over. He lives in Haishang International not far from Guxi Community. He can see it from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The Yongjiang River flowing quietly in front is truly picturesque.

While Gu Xing was brushing his teeth and washing up, he took the time to browse the anti-bar.

After the season ends, Maggot Baby has no games to watch, but there are still many posts to be posted. As a result, the post bar is currently filled with all kinds of weird rating posts.

For example, posts such as "I post childhood anime and you rate it" and "Ranking of domestic film and television dramas in the 21st century" have received over a thousand replies.

But after the transfer period started early this morning, the maggot babies finally found their business and were all discussing the next transfer matters.

[On the wrong day, Little Peanut and Casa Official are declared free men? 】

[I heard from the gossip that these two brothers are coming to LPL. Is it true?]

[The stinky guy from out of town comes to LPL to beg for food? Come on! 】

[No one cares about VG? All five of them are free agents]

[The contract should be renewed. I see that VG’s official blog has not announced a free agent yet. According to LPL law, there is still room for negotiation]

The conventional gameplay of the LPL is that the official announcement of a free agent = the collapse of the contract extension. As long as the official blog releases a blog post about the player's return to free agency, fans can discuss who will be the next player.

VG is still in the stage of negotiating salary quotations and is far from the point where negotiations have broken down.

As a double-championship club and the guardian of the LPL, the Maggot Babies are naturally very concerned and talked about it in the forum.

[But how much does it cost to renew the contract for five people? Last season, it was reported that the Galaxy Battleship was 3000W. The budget will definitely be increased this year. Boss Ding’s big business doesn’t burn money like this, right? 】

[In fact, it’s okay for others to leave, but Brother Xing must stay. If you leave, how will we VC survive? 】

[I bet that VG will not be able to retain all the players, and now I just want to wait for a suitable opportunity to officially announce the free agent]

[That’s it, the LPL has a ancestral way of holding one’s breath, so this kind of news may have to be delayed until the transfer window closes before releasing it]

Gu Xing rinsed his mouth and turned off the anti-bar, and was about to go downstairs to find a store outside the community to solve the lunch problem.
