If we can achieve some results, it can also promote the businesses under our name. Anyway, it's not a particularly important thing. As I said before, we can get him to invest money, but we have to let him see a return.
Otherwise, if you invest money and get nothing in return, wouldn't you be a sucker?
AJ found the meal utterly unappetizing, and as soon as he got back, he pulled out his phone and started a group video call in the team's chat group.
As soon as the call connected, he shouted into the video, "Brothers, something terrible has happened!"
"What do you mean?"
"ADC Jinjiao asked curiously."
Mid laner Baeme was playing a game with a girl and was having a great time when he heard AJ's words, so he immediately dropped the game.
Jungler Avoidless was also full of questions.
Only Road, speaking in a thick Xinjiang accent, asked AJ what was going on.
"Our team was sold by the previous owner, and now we have a new owner."
"Today I was called in for a talk by my boss, who asked me whether I wanted to stay or find my own way out."
"Is this even worth thinking about?"
"Of course we'll stay! We worked so hard to get into League of Legends. If we leave now, all our previous efforts will have been for nothing!"
"Jungler Avoidless interjected."
"But...but the new boss said that if we stay, we have to achieve good results, otherwise..."
Before AJ could finish speaking, everyone fell silent.
The new boss's meaning is clear: they can stay, but they must achieve results that satisfy him; otherwise, their fate is uncertain.
This is an incredibly difficult choice, one that requires them to gamble with their careers.
Although they all thought they were very strong, they were about to face teams from the League of Legends scene, not just some weaklings from the LPL.
Soon, the support player Road spoke up: "Forget it, I'm not going to gamble. I'm leaving the team. I can just find another LspL team to climb up the ranks."
Once they had the first one, they wanted to try their luck again, but they simply couldn't afford to gamble. In the end, even AJ wavered.
The next day, Li Xue reported to Zhang Long that all five members of the original EDE team had left the team.
Zhang Long stroked his chin, thinking it was good that they were all gone, as it would make rebuilding much less stressful.
He had Li Xue send an invitation to VG's coach Hongmi, as well as to Doinb from Newbee Young, and Ming from YM as well.
Zhang Long pondered for a while, then told Li Xue to stop and decided to wait for the coach to arrive before deciding which professional players to recruit.
What if these professional gamers aren't a good fit for Redmi?
That's hard to say!
That same day, VG's coach received an invitation to become the head coach of the new team HL.
He originally intended to refuse, but for some inexplicable reason, he wanted to hear what conditions the other party could offer.
His contract with VG club just expired, but he didn't renew it immediately, which speaks volumes.
Besides, he came all the way from South Korea, isn't it all for the money?
Around 10 a.m., Redmi arrived at a coffee shop as agreed.
Li Xue came to meet Hongmi, and she represented Zhang Long in the interview.
At first, Redmi was a little annoyed that the team sent a young girl to talk to him.
However, her fluent Korean changed Hongmi's opinion quite a bit.
"Mr. Redmi, our boss would like to invite you to join the newly formed HL team to compete in the LOL Summer Split."
"What requests do you have? You can make them now."
Li Xue directly placed Hongmi in the position of head coach of the HL team, which is also a negotiation tactic.
Redmi didn't object after hearing this, so it presented its own terms.
He wants to bring his team with him, while also having a certain degree of autonomy.
After a year of adaptation, he did not demand that the team completely obey him. After all, he had been with VG for almost a year and had already experienced the characteristics of the LOL region. Those star players simply did not listen to the head coach.
Unlike the LCK, where coaches have a lot of power and even star players have to obey.
"Okay, our boss agreed. What are your salary requirements?"
After a moment's thought, Redmi immediately offered an annual salary of 1.5 million yuan.
That's more than half of the 1 million he earned with the VG team!
However, he was very confident in his abilities and believed he absolutely deserved the high salary.
She had already discussed it with Zhang Long; she was willing to take the job with an annual salary of up to 2 million.
"Yes, our boss thinks you're worth the price, and he also places a lot of trust in you!"
"But he only cares about the team's performance. Can you guarantee that?"
Hongmi immediately became interested: "I need to hear how much trust the boss has placed in me before I can answer your question!"
Li Xue paused for a moment: "The boss said that if you can persuade Faker, he will pay the penalty for breach of contract."
"The team has now been cleared out and is just waiting for you to show your skills. He's only responsible for writing you the check."
Redmi was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
That's such a huge show of trust!
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Please tell the boss to rest assured that I will do my best to give him a satisfactory answer."
Li Xue nodded, and the two shook hands: "Your club's training base is under renovation. Do you want to find a regular villa to stay in first, or go directly to the base to train while it's being renovated?"
Upon hearing this question, Hongmi's heart skipped a beat. "Really? Our club doesn't even have a training base yet?"
Seeing this, Li Xue decided to take Redmi to the site to see for himself, so that he wouldn't doubt the company's strength.
The two drove to the HL Building in Lujiazui (which has since been renamed).
She pointed to the building behind her and said, "This HL Building is under renovation; even the exterior walls are being refurbished."
"This is the current arrangement: floors 1-10 are reserved for the HL Club."
"Of course, the club will set up divisions for other games in the future, but we'll only reserve one or two floors for the League of Legends division at most,"
"Furthermore, floors 11 through 34 belong to the parent company, Red Dragon Company."
Hongmi was stunned when he saw it. Having been in Shanghai for almost a year, he naturally knew that the land beneath his feet was Lujiazui, a prime location in Shanghai where every inch of land is incredibly valuable.
There is a building here that belongs to the boss; he can't even imagine the wealth he possesses.
Following that, Li Xue continued, "This main entrance is reserved for the parent company; our club's entrance is on the opposite side."
As he spoke, he led Redmi to the back door.
