Chapter 44： Champion Prize Pool

When Chi Shuo carried the fish back to the villa, Ming Sheng and Ye Shaoyang were chatting on the sofa in the living room, Chi Shuo saw Ye Shaoyang holding a contract in his hand, looked back at Ming Sheng and asked, "Master, is this a decision? ?"

Mingsheng stood up with a smile and said, "Well. I'll let my aunt prepare dinner, so you guys can stay and eat too." He took the bucket from Chi Shuo's hand and looked at the lively fish inside: "Can you really catch it? "

Chi Shuo said, "I only caught one."

Ming Sheng said meaningfully: "It's fat and big, one is enough."

Ye Shaoyang always felt that the Ming team was implying that he was the big fish that Chi Shuo caught Tianhuan?

After the Ming team turned and left, Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

Ye Shaoyang followed Chi Shuo to the nearby lake.

It is the early autumn season in Xingcheng, and the temperature is still hot. This lake is very large, the lake is clear, the lake is lined with green trees, and the breeze blows from the lake, bringing a refreshing coolness.

It is very comfortable to walk here in the evening.

Ye Shaoyang walked side by side with Chi Shuo while breathing the fresh air by the lake.

The villa area is very clean, and there is not a single person around. The two walked along the lake for a distance, and Chi Shuocai asked, "What conditions did Master give you in the end?"

Ye Shaoyang handed him the contract.

Chi Shuo turned around quickly: "The signing fee of 5 million will be paid in one go, and the 5 million will be given out in the form of bonuses after winning the domestic league championship. There is no time limit." He was silent for two seconds and looked at Ye Shaoyang: "You can accept it. ?"

Ye Shaoyang said with a smile: "Of course I can, after all, I have no competition results, I am just a newcomer. The club is not doing charity, and I feel that it is too much to sign a newcomer for 5 million."

Chi Shuo said: "When I was a rookie back then, the signing fee was only 3 million, but that was three years ago. Players' worth will gradually increase with their performance. This compromise solution that Master thought of, looks like a short seller. Check, but in fact, he also saw your potential and thought you could get this bonus."

Ye Shaoyang nodded: "I understand."

Chi Shuo stopped by the lake and said in a low voice, "The signing fee is only part of it, and you still have a lot of follow-up income. Such as advertising share, peripheral share, competition bonus share, etc."

Ye Shaoyang asked curiously, "Is the share of your team members the same?"

Chi Shuo nodded: "Well, in order to prevent teammates from competing with each other and causing internal cracks, all the players of the main team may have different signing fees, but the share after joining the team is the same."

He paused and said: "For example, in the S6 season, we won the domestic league championship. The domestic league championship bonus is 10 million, and there is also the FMVP skin sales share, which is the big deal."

Ye Shaoyang said clearly: "I watched the video of the finals of the S6 season. It was your [blood-robed assassin] who won the FMVP at that time?

Chi Shuo said: "Yes, the operator of "God War" in Huaguo District has specially produced the FMVP limited skin of [Blood Clothes Assassin], which is sold in China for a month, with sales of 150 million. The official promises 15% of the sales. To the champion team, so in addition to the 10 million bonus in the finals, Tianhuan also got 22.5 million in skin sales, and the team rewarded us with part of it, and we each took another 5 million or so in tournament bonuses."

Ye Shaoyang: "..."

The sales share of the champion skin is the biggest prize pool.

In this MOBA game, the hero skills and data will not change. The only difference is the skin. Most players will buy skins for their favorite heroes. There are also many rich players who collect skins even if they don't play a certain hero.

Ye Shaoyang was the captain of the GD team in his previous life. The LOL world championship prize pool also includes the sales share of the champion skin. Of course, the GD team is not so arrogant and gives them all the prize pool. The promise at that time was to give them 70%, but unfortunately, they failed to win the championship in the end.

Ye Shaoyang was immersed in memories when he saw Chi Shuo open the clause about the world championship in the contract and said, "If Tianhuan wins the world championship, the club will give all the prize pool of the world championship to the main players. In fact, this clause That's the most important thing."

Ye Shaoyang said with a complicated expression: "The limited skin of the world champion is sold worldwide, and the sales will definitely be more than ten times the sales of [Blood Clothes Assassin] in China that year."

Blood Cloth Assassin, a skin, has sales of 150 million in China.

So, what is the worldwide sales of the top single, jungler, mid laner, shooter, support, and limited skins used by the world champion team in the tiebreaker for the five heroes?

That would be an unimaginably terrible number.

The signing fee is really just a drizzle in comparison.

Ming Sheng is worthy of being the former captain of Tian Huan, and he thinks that the problem is longer than Chi Shuo.

10 million signing fee directly to Ye Shaoyang? The shareholders of the club will definitely not agree. Why should a newcomer with no achievements take 10 million in one go?

However, adding "the distribution of the bonus pool after winning the world championship" in the contract will allow shareholders to be persuaded. They will feel that if Ye Shaoyang joins Tianhuan, Tianhuan may not necessarily win the world championship, and it does not matter if they agree.

What if you really got it? That's not a loss. After all, the world champion team's follow-up advertising endorsements and sponsor investments will continue to flow, the club will also make a lot of money, and it will also leave a good reputation for treating players well.

Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang's complicated expression and said warmly, "I didn't expect Master to offer such conditions. It seems that he really appreciates you. He also thinks that if you join Tianhuan, we may win the championship. ."

Ye Shaoyang turned his head and asked, "Have the pool team been counted? If we really win the world championship, how much will the domestic bonus pool, plus the world championship bonus pool, and various endorsement advertisements, how much can the total revenue be?"

Chi Shuo said: "It's no problem to break through 100 million."

Ye Shaoyang looked at the lake in the distance and smiled brightly: "Then don't we instantly become local tyrants?"

Chi Shuo followed his gaze and looked into the distance, and said lightly: "If we can't win the championship, everything is empty talk. If we can win the championship, this is the reward we deserve."

A gust of breeze blew down the lake, messing up Ye Shaoyang's hair and making his mind clearer.

This contract, on the surface, he can only take a signing fee of 5 million all at once, but in fact it gives him unlimited advancement possibilities - as long as you are strong enough, as long as you win the world championship, the club will never treat you badly. If Tianhuan wins the world championship, their income is likely to refresh the annual record for the highest income of the world's e-sports players.

This reward mechanism is actually an incentive for the players.

More money and less money, Ye Shaoyang doesn't care.

As long as he can win the world championship, let him work for free.

However, Tianhuan's contract made him see full sincerity and Tianhuan's strong desire for the championship. The club does not even want a penny of the championship bonus, and the conditions put forward by the Ming team are indeed bold enough.

Ye Shaoyang looked back at Chi Shuo and asked, "I'm a little curious. Did the Ming team retiring back then because of their declining form? Today I PK with him. His hand speed is very fast.

Chi Shuo shook his head and said, "It's not that his state has declined, he is going back to inherit the family business."

Ye Shaoyang: "..."

Chi Shuo explained: "Master's world is not only about e-sports. Did you hear him play the piano just now? Their family is in business, and he is actually the heir of the largest music company in China. Back then, he bet against his father and took He went home to manage the company before the world championship. We didn’t win the championship in S6, so he had to retire. At that time, his state was actually at the peak, and he suddenly announced his retirement, and I was very hasty to take over as captain.”

Ye Shaoyang suddenly realized: "So, he later invested in shares and became a shareholder of Tianhuan Club?"

Chi Shuo nodded: "The capital behind the Tianhuan Club is the Tianhuan Group. My master invested and took 30% of the shares. He couldn't let the Tianhuan team go, and he often said that he was very sorry for throwing the mess to me after he retired. ."

No wonder Mingsheng's temperament is different from other e-sports players.

He treated Ye Shaoyang so favorably, he must be looking at Chi Shuo's face. Because he was ashamed of his apprentice, he did not embarrass the person whom the apprentice brought to see him in person, but instead offered higher conditions.

Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang with gentle eyes: "This contract is just a template given to you by Master, and the official contract can only be determined after the club's top management has discussed it through legal procedures. Moreover, once the additional conditions for the distribution of the bonus pool have passed the shareholders' meeting, I will discuss it with you. The contracts of other team members will also need to be re-signed. When the time comes, I will ask the lawyer to issue the official contract to you as soon as possible.”

Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "No problem."

He paused and asked, "Have you agreed to transfer to an assistant on Qu Jiang's side?"

Chi Shuo said: "Coach Lin will tell Qu Jiang personally, and I will have a good talk with him when I go back. In order to win the playoffs, I am willing to be a tool player as a jungler, and I believe that Qu Jiang will also be willing to play for the team's sake. Change his performance to a position that is more suitable for him. He usually doubles with Xiaoxing and plays in the support position, so it is not difficult for him to switch to support."

Ye Shaoyang was relieved: "This is the best. I don't want to have a conflict with your old players as soon as I enter the team."

Chi Shuo said: "That's not true. Qu Jiang has a good temper and is easy to get along with. On the fans side, there may be some bad comments. Tianhuan has always had a lot of black fans. We were scolded for three years earlier. Just get used to it. When you get there... try not to read those negative comments."

Ye Shaoyang smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, I have been scolded for 4 years in my previous life, and I have long since gotten used to it.

Chi Shuo asked, "When is it convenient to report to the team?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "I can report at any time and see the club's arrangements."

Chi Shuo said: "Then after I go back, let the team logistics help you clean up the dormitory?"

Ye Shaoyang asked concerned: "How are Tianhuan's dormitories allocated?"

Chi Shuo said: "Most are two-bedroom, one-living, 80-square-meter suites with living room, dining room, kitchen, and shared bathroom. The two bedrooms are independent and do not disturb each other." He looked at Ye Shaoyang, "You are willing to live with me. ?"

Ye Shaoyang was stunned for a moment and looked at him suspiciously: "Do you have any roommates in Team Chi?"

Chi Shuo said: "My roommate is Lao Nie. He retired this year and will pack up and leave Tianhuan in a few days. After all, you are a new member of the team and you are not familiar with Tianhuan. If you live with me, if there is any problem, you can You can ask me anytime."

He thought, we're both Alphas anyway, so it's okay to live together. Moreover, Tianhuan will present the "middle and jungle linkage" style of play next season on the field, where the mid laner and the jungler live together, and they can also cultivate a tacit understanding by getting along with each other every day. Isn't this what it should be?

Ye Shaoyang didn't think too much, and readily agreed: "I obey the team's arrangement. Of course it's best to live with Team Chi, after all, I'm familiar with you."

He thought of the cat at home, and followed closely: "By the way, I also have a puppet cat. Do the team members have cat hair allergies, or are they afraid of cats? Team Chi can also ask me when I go back, if anyone Allergies, I'll keep Xiaobai in my bedroom, and I won't let my cat affect other people."

Although cats are cute looking animals, there are people who are afraid of cats or cat hair allergies. Ye Shaoyang was going to Tianhuan, of course he had to bring Xiaobai, and he didn't want Xiaobai to cause trouble for everyone.

Chi Shuo met his eyes, remembered the cute kitten in his live broadcast room, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "I'll ask everyone later, and then give you an answer. However, I'm not allergic to cats, you can Keep the cat in our dormitory. The dormitory area is big enough for it to move around.”

Ye Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go back and pack up and wait for Team Chi to inform me."

Chi Shuo nodded and said: "Well, I will also urge the club to complete the procedure as soon as possible. But it takes time for the shareholders to convene, and the financial and legal departments must carefully review the contract, so the fastest You can come and report in about 2 weeks."

He stretched out his hand towards Ye Shaoyang with warmth in his eyes: "Shaoyang, thank you for your willingness to join Tianhuan."

Ye Shaoyang took his hand and said seriously, "Thank you Tianhuan for choosing me."

The two smiled at each other.

Players and teams have always achieved each other.

Signing a team requires careful consideration. There are actually many domestic giants. Maybe there will be other teams that will extend an olive branch to Ye Shaoyang, but Ye Shaoyang does not regret his choice.

The team's sincerity and attention to him.

The former captain Mingsheng offered him unprecedented contract conditions.

The Tianhuan team has been working hard to become the world champion. Generations of Tianhuan players have never given up on this goal. This also coincides with Ye Shaoyang's dream.

Next season's Tianhuan will reproduce the sharpness of the Nakano linkage.

But it's not just a single "Nakano linkage".

The new Tianhuan will have richer and more comprehensive tactics, and the overall strength will also be improved by leaps and bounds.

Domestic champions are just their pedals - world champions, their ultimate goal.

The author has something to say:

1. The prize pool of the Glory of Kings World Champion Cup is 50 million RMB; many limited skins have sold over 100 million nationwide.

2. The cash prize pool of the LOL World Championship is about 12 million RMB, plus the global sales share of the champion skin.

3. There is indeed a team that distributes all the prize money of the championship to the players. Clubs don't make money from bonuses, there are lots of advertisements and sponsorships.
