Chapter 127 That guy is finally getting down to business (two in one, asking for monthly tickets)
Dou Ying had begun to suspect this before, but after Li Yang went to Beijing, Xue Ning's account IP had not appeared again. At that time, she gave up her speculation, thinking that she was overthinking.
Of course, there were no transactions in Xue Ning's account that month.
The formal trading started six days ago, and the IP address was also updated at that time.
It happened that Li Yang was playing a competition in South Korea, and Xue Ning's account appeared in South Korea.
Of course, this alone is not enough to confirm anything, and more coincidences are needed to support it.
What if Xue Ning's boyfriend went to Korea? It is also possible that Xue Ning asked him to help take care of Li Yang, after all, Li Yang had never been abroad.
Anything is possible, and what I know now is not enough to prove anything.
She doesn't know anything about e-sports and doesn't even know this game.
However, judging from the popularity on the Internet and the response from Peking University, Li Yang is indeed going to be successful.
In the live broadcast, Li Yang kept pointing at the Guanghua School of Management emblem on his shoulder, which was to build momentum for himself.
He wants everyone to know that he is not only a world champion, not only the most brilliant player, but also the top student at Peking University!
Every halo is an improvement for him.
If the world champion is only sought after in the gaming circle, then the identity of a Peking University master covers the entire population.
There are world champions every year, but it is hard to find another one in the world who can match or even match the label he has.
…
Li Likun was in the Internet cafe. After watching the game, he asked the person next to him, "What hero did Li Yang use in the last game?"
"Master, that's called Yasuo."
"Okay, I'll go practice Yasuo right away!"
…
The champion is determined!
Many things that were uncertain before have now been confirmed.
For example, the promotional banners prepared by Kyoto University.
Previously, we just sent out a simple announcement, but now the banner can be put up. This is a good opportunity for external publicity.
Relevant interviews must also be carried out in place.
Ed Zhu was holding Li Yang's cell phone. Ever since he won the championship half an hour ago, the phone has never stopped ringing in his pocket, and his legs were numb from the vibration.
I just hate that I’m not a woman, so vibration is useless.
Unfortunately, Li Yang doesn’t have time to go backstage yet, as there are a lot of interviews waiting for him.
Bai Qing called on his cell phone.
"When will you return home?"
This question stumped Edward Zhu because he hadn't booked the plane ticket yet.
If I lose, I will definitely come back the day after tomorrow.
But now that we've won, we should let the players play here for two more days, right?
After all, all the contestants have been very tired in the past half month.
He also knew that Bai Qing didn't care about other people's lives. She just wanted to ask when Li Yang would return home.
"Wait until Li Yang finishes the interview, and then I'll ask him when he'll be back."
"Remember to notify me as soon as possible."
"Okay, no problem. Regardless of whether Li Yang fights again next year or not, I owe you a favor this time."
If they win the championship, the value of the club will increase a lot, and for Edzhu, it will definitely make a lot of money.
"It's not a favor. You can convert it into a bonus, 5 million?"
Edward: “…”
That's five million in cash.
How much value can the club improve? Without Li Yang, it is nothing more than a little foundation.
If Li Yang is willing to renew the contract, he would be willing to give him 10 million, and he would not be afraid to even raise his annual salary to 20 million by attracting some investment.
Anyway, considering Li Yang's fame, it would definitely be a good deal to sign him.
"Okay, I will definitely give you face."
"It's my husband's face!"
Bai Qing emphasized this, leaving Ed Zhu speechless.
Li Yang is indeed very good, but you, Bai Qing, are not a small character, right? You are worth hundreds of millions, young and beautiful, why do you have to be so humble?
Finally, the interview was almost over, and Ed Zhu went over to take photos with the players and touched the championship trophy.
He also likes games and has invested tens of millions of dollars in the entire club.
With this honor, the lost money will definitely be earned back, and even some will be left over.
"Li Yang, congratulations! Thank you for bringing a championship trophy to our club."
Ed Zhu came over excitedly and shook hands with Li Yang.
Li Yang smiled and responded: "It's because the boss trusts me, otherwise he wouldn't let me, who has never played a game, preside over the situation."
It was indeed trust. Of course, the most important thing was that Bai Qing had found an excuse to spend money to register him as a professional player, and his performance was indeed good.
In three rounds of competition, Li Yang did not lose a single game, which was the result of his best efforts.
"Hahaha……"
Edward Zhu handed the phone to Li Yang, "Go to the lounge and have a rest for a while, we'll have dinner together later."
"Well, please book me a flight for tomorrow. I have to get back to class."
"Huh? Leaving so early?"
Ed Zhu thought that Li Yang should enjoy the glory, after all, there would be many money-making projects in the future.
Although it’s not a lot of money.
"Well, the course can't be delayed."
Strictly speaking, Li Yang's contract with the EDG club has ended.
But where he really makes money is from competition prize money and skin share.
As for whether he will sign a live broadcast contract or endorsement contract in the future, it is his own business and has nothing to do with the club.
Ed Zhu said: "Then let's talk after dinner?"
"no problem."
We still have to talk.
Li Yang returned to the lounge and found that his cell phone battery was less than 30%, even though it was fully charged before the game.
I took a look and saw dozens of missed calls and 99+ unread messages on WeChat.
This does not include group chats, because most of his group chats are set to not have reminders.
"Master Li, you are so handsome!"
"When you come back, you must give me an autograph. Several classmates in our class have approached me."
"Also, congratulations on making a fortune!"
Jiang Banxia always cares about whether Li Yang has become rich.
Li Yang replied, "These are all autographs that other people wanted. Master Jiang doesn't want one?"
Jiang Banxia: “Yes, yes, yes…”
"Then I'll sign it for you privately after I get back."
“Box, box, box…Okay.”
Li Yang replied to his roommate, his parents and Xue Ning.
Then I saw the message sent by Song Yu.
"Champion, please give me some face and let my sister interview you. She has already arrived in Seoul."
Li Yang: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, but since you didn't agree, I didn't give her your WeChat."
"Then give it to me. You have to give it to me for your face."
"Haha, I know you have me in your heart."
"Yeah, you know, I can't say no to a rich woman."
After saying that, Li Yang switched to WeChat because Bai Qing was in that WeChat.
Sure enough, as soon as I opened it, I was bombarded with messages. Many high school classmates sent me messages.
He must only care about Bai Qing, and the Xiangnu and the rich women are all left behind.
"Congratulations to my husband for becoming the only undefeated champion in the history of LOL!"
"I told you I would give you the championship, and now I have fulfilled my promise."
Bai Qing quickly replied: "This is the most meaningful gift in my life. Not because of the championship, but because I have a sense of participation...Hubby, I miss you."
"How much do you want it?"
"I want to leave marks all over your body! When are you coming back? I need to meet you at the airport."
"Just pick up the airport? What about the others? You don't even pick up your hands, feet, or head, right?"
"Take it, take it! Take them all!"
"It's not a good idea to do this in public, right?"
"Hehehe... sneaking to the bathroom, chi slurp..."
Li Yang glanced at the time and saw that tomorrow was Monday.
So he replied: "I will go to school after I return, because I have missed a lot of classes recently. How about I come back to see you during the winter break?"
It's not just about learning, the stock market trend has also begun.
Since Lanshi was re-listed on October 9, this round of bull market has officially started.
Unfortunately, this stock is still at the limit, and Li Yang has been queuing for several days with a small amount of money but has not been able to get in.
But there are also many stocks that can be traded, such as Flush.
The bull market begins, and securities firms take the lead.
Only when securities companies have the first market trend can they drive the overall rhythm.
He will have to devote himself to the stock market for the next two months or so, after all, the money he has is not enough.
Eight of the top ten monster stocks will explode in the last two months, with many waves overlapping, but he also wants to get more.
The market will be more scattered after the New Year, and by that time, he doesn't know whether he will have any money left.
We must work hard in these two months!
Bai Qing was obviously a little disappointed. She hesitated for more than ten seconds before replying, "I'll just take a look, okay?"
"There's plenty of time to read during the winter vacation. Be good and stay at home with your child. Don't run around."
Bai Qing finally responded, "Yeah, yeah, then I'll listen to my husband at home."
Li Yang took advantage of the situation in the group again, replied to Xiangnu a few words, and then switched accounts.
As soon as he switched the account, he saw the rich woman transferring money to him.
The leeks of these rich ladies are really tender.
There were many people who added him as their friend, and it took him a long time to find Song Xiaoli. After the contact, the two chatted briefly and said that they could find a place to do an interview after dinner.
This is the only reporter from Kyoto University who came to Seoul. Although it is not very formal, it at least means that they had prepared for it several days in advance.
I'm afraid other reporters are waiting for the results.
Just because of this level of importance, we cannot ignore them.
Soon, he went to have a meal with the club members to celebrate, and after the meal he met Song Xiaoli in the hotel lobby.
In the lounge area next to the hotel, Song Xiaoli sat next to Li Yang. The two of them were already acquainted.
In Li Yang's opinion, there is no difference between Song Xiaoli and Song Yu. They are exactly the same, with only a slight difference in temperament. After all, Song Xiaoli is still a college student, while Song Yu is already married.
A simple white shirt paired with a black pleated skirt, her oval face looks great. This talented girl from Peking University is really very elegant.
She put a microphone on Li Yang's collar and turned on the recorder, asking, "Junior, would you mind telling me how you became a professional player?"
"This matter... there are many coincidences. After the college entrance examination, I was bored and played games. I reached the first zone of China Telecom. Then a team approached me. I thought I was free, so I went for a tryout. Maybe I was satisfied with the result of the tryout, so the club registered me as a professional player and put me on the roster."
Song Xiaoli: "Then why didn't you participate in any competitions before?"
"Because college had started, and at that time I had my parents' expectations on me, I couldn't drop out of school to play games, so I just went to school and attended classes."
Song Xiaoli: "Then why did it come on stage again in October?"
"The main reason was that the club's performance was not very good, and the confidence of the entire team was also hit. The boss knew that I was good at motivating my teammates, so he called me over. As a result... we won the championship by accident..."
Song Xiaoli: “…”
She had seen Li Yang's interview before and knew that this guy was particularly pretentious.
Now I’m interviewing in person, and it turns out that…
The smell is almost overpowering.
But she is a professional, so she doesn't care about these things. Instead, these words will become the highlights of her manuscript.
So she continued to ask: "Didn't you ever think that you would win the championship before?"
"I did think about it, but what I thought at the time was that those opponents should at least win one or two games from us, right? As a result, I never tasted the taste of failure until I won the championship."
Song Xiaoli pinched his thigh slightly and continued to ask: "Junior brother, when did you discover that you have a talent for playing games?"
"Talent? Do I have it? Isn't it enough to be the strongest champion to have hands? As for playing professionally... it is indeed a little difficult. Before my first game, I trained for four days, and for the second game, I trained for another six days. For the third game, I trained for a full seven days! It's almost as much time as I had to review for the college entrance examination. By the way, I urgently reviewed for the college entrance examination for a month before I passed the exam with the top scorer... This shows that winning the game championship is only half as difficult as winning the provincial college entrance examination with the top scorer."
When Song Xiaoli saw Li Yang say these words very calmly, even with a smile on his face, she felt a little...
Damn it!
How can this guy pretend like this!
She decisively changed the subject, "Junior, the market currently has a tinted spectacles towards e-sports. Do you think this view is correct?"
"Of course, I also think that e-sports is not a serious industry. The things that a serious industry should have, the e-sports industry can be said to have none of them. As far as I know, our club is relatively good. Other clubs are full of chaos all the time, and the players have no clear understanding of their own identities. There are no rules at all, and even the training games are very perfunctory. Through the game videos, I believe everyone can clearly see that the players on the same team have no tacit understanding or cooperation at all. The entire team does not have the slightest game strategy, and they act recklessly like reckless men. To put it bluntly, this kind of industry has nothing to do with hard work, and it is difficult to achieve results by relying entirely on talent and good luck."
Song Xiaoli's eyes lit up.
As a professional player, Li Yang actually criticized the industry he was in?
This time there are even more hot topics.
She continued to ask: "Junior brother, since you are not optimistic about the e-sports industry, are you not planning to develop in the e-sports industry?"
"To be honest, I don't want to. Because I don't know if a teammate will suddenly appear to steal my girlfriend's girl. I don't know if the girlfriend of one of my teammates will ask me out for dinner privately or send me sexy photos. Of course, I definitely believe that my girlfriend will not be poached, and I definitely believe that I will not be tempted by other people's girlfriends."
Song Xiaoli: "Then have you ever thought that after I send out this interview, you will be boycotted by the entire e-sports industry?"
"Let them resist. It took me one month to pass the provincial exam and half a month to win the League of Legends World Championship. My life will not be limited to such a small place. I will continue to climb upwards and meet more challenges. Maybe my next success will be far away, or even I may fall. But that's how life is. If you don't challenge yourself, you will never know how strong you are."
If I hadn't prepared a script in advance, I don't know if I would have been able to pretend like that!
Li Yang said these words just to save face.
So that others won’t ask him to play professionally all the time.
He is really in trouble!
Make some money while the popularity is still there, and the most important thing right now is to expand the popularity.
Anyway, after a year or two, when the popularity dies down, no one will pay attention to him anymore.
Even if someone will always remember the scene where he pretended to be cool, it cannot withstand the wear and tear of time.
Song Xiaoli originally thought that Li Yang was pretending, but after hearing these words, his heart inexplicably burned with anger.
This kind of disdain, this kind of contempt for the whole world, this kind of courage to challenge one's own life attitude, should only exist in theory.
So she asked, "Have you ever thought about what your next challenge will be?"
"Well... maybe I'll consider making some money. After all, only money can take you far."
Song Xiaoli: "Oh? How much money do you think you need to earn to support yourself in the future?"
"About... five hundred million?"
What else could Song Xiaoli say? He could only wish Li Yang good luck.
Five hundred million right off the bat!
Even if it was 50 million, she thought it was reasonable and reliable.
Anyway, given Li Yang's current situation, it is not a problem for him to sign a live broadcast contract with an annual salary of tens of millions. He already has the capital to earn tens of millions.
Finally, the two shook hands and said goodbye.
Li Yang saw his teammates staring at Song Xiaoli not far away.
"Li Yang, your girlfriend?"
"What's wrong? Want to pursue her? This is a talented girl from Kyoto University. If you want to pursue her, I'll give you my contact information."
The people present were actually quite moved.
Fortunately, Edward Zhu came and called Li Yang away, otherwise...
In the hotel room, Ed Zhu said to Li Yang with a smile: "Li Yang, are you interested in continuing to sign a contract with our club?"
"Hmm? This..."
Ed Zhu: "Don't be so hasty to refuse. Listen to our conditions."
"good."
"First, we will tailor a contract for you. It will be the highest contract in the current e-sports industry, with a starting salary of around 20 million. Secondly, we will strive for advertising endorsements of no less than 10 million for you, and the company will only take 30% of the commission. Thirdly, we will strive for a bigger live broadcast contract for you, no less than 15 million a year. There are also some other benefits, such as a single room for one person and the freedom to choose which game to play. These are all minor issues, and even the players can make adjustments based on your requirements."
After listening to this, Li Yang knew that this treatment was very good.
Although I definitely won’t get that much from a live broadcast contract and the endorsement fee isn’t too outrageous, it’s definitely no problem to get more than 20 million a year.
"Mr. Zhu, I'll think about it. After all, I still have to focus on my studies. If my studies allow, I might play a little. If not, I can be a consultant for the club and help with some training."
After all, it is only with the help of other people's platforms that it can be displayed. Li Yang doesn't want to say it so absolutely.
And he still has his bonus in his hand.
Anyway, once Song Xiaoli's manuscript is published, Ed Zhu will naturally understand his own thoughts, and everyone will be able to save face.
Ed Zhu was obviously disappointed, but he still smiled and said, "Okay, you're welcome to come back anytime you like. The club's door is always open to you. By the way, since you won the championship this time, in addition to the one million US dollars bonus from the game organizer, the club will give you an additional seven million US dollars. I'll have the finance department transfer the money to your card tomorrow. As for tax filing, you can do it yourself. If you don't know how, you can contact me."
"Hmm? Isn't it two million?"
"I personally added another five million."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu."
Li Yang didn't think that it was an additional bonus from Ed Zhu at all. He was not that kind.
Five million! Even if you are a rich second-generation, you can’t just give it up.
Ed Zhu is not a top rich second generation.
The principal was willing to spend a fortune to buy a horse's bones, but he only promised to give all the prize money to the contestants. At most, he would give a gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars when the contestants got married and moved.
Who knows how much of this one million dollar prize money you can get.
There should be a lot of money in skin dividends, but it is still early and it will take at least a year before we can see the cash.
I took a look at WeChat and found that many professional players and LOL official hosts had added friend requests.
He passed them one by one.
However, what he pays most attention to are the inquiries sent by several live broadcast platforms.
This is all money...
At the same time, Song Xiaoli also checked into the hotel and had just finished organizing his manuscript.
Then I called my sister back.
"Thank you, sister. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have such a good opportunity."
Song Yu asked, "That guy isn't next to you, right?"
"No, we separated after the interview."
"Huh? Have you changed your personality?"
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, it's okay. What did that guy say? Tell me."
"Uh... that guy... is a bit crazy... what he said is really outrageous. He said he became the top scorer in the college entrance examination after studying for a month, and won the world championship after playing games for half a month. He also said that he would challenge more limits in the future."
"What limit?"
"He said his next challenge is to earn 500 million yuan. I know all too well what 500 million yuan means. I feel that even if he is a genius, it is impossible for him to do it in a short period of time, or even in his lifetime."
Song Yu on the other end of the phone became excited: "That guy is finally going to get down to business. What's so fun about a crappy game!"
