LOL: This man is so strong!

Chapter 280 Contract negotiations in the Crystal Hub! (12)

"Xianghe, I'm not late, am I?"

When Li Hao walked behind the bench, Li Guapi was staring at the waves of the river in trance and hadn't noticed yet. He suddenly spoke behind him and patted the big devil on the shoulder. Guapi was obviously frightened.

"Do you walk without making any noise?"

Li Hao smiled, "It's not that I don't use my voice, it's that your consciousness has declined a bit and you didn't do a good job of preventing gank."

Li Guapi looked at the time and changed the topic, "You are not late, I arrived early."

"That's right, I'm always punctual."

Li Hao sat down and leaned against the bench: "Have they all gone back?"

"Of course not. After playing the game, you always have to relax for a few days."

"Magic City is the place where the league's e-sports development is the best, so I'll stay and take a look. Isn't your and EDG's base on Lingshi Road?"

"But we will go back to Myeongdong tomorrow."

Li Guapi asked again: "What specifically did you ask me to come here for today?"

Li Hao said seriously: "Guapi, the winter window transfer period is coming soon. Have you considered transferring to Snake? How about we fight for the third championship together?"

Li Sang Hyuk was stunned for a moment.

Fight for the third championship with Wolfberry!

However, the top mid laner is not stupid, he reacted quickly.

"Wolfberry, the winter window transfer period is coming soon. Have you considered transferring to SKT? How about we fight for the third championship together?"

Seeing Li Hao changing his face and having fun, Li Sang Hyuk's expression was a little depressed, but there was still a bit of humor in his words:

"Okay, stop making fun of me."

"I'll join Snake to assist you, right? You play VN and I play Bullhead, then we will retire together next season."

When he said these words, Li Guapi's expression was normal, and his eyes were not as red as in the Bird's Nest.

A few days later, he has gradually emerged from the haze of failure.

Guapi is indeed such a person and is not easily defeated.

"Seeing you in this state makes me feel relieved."

Li Hao looked at the river in front of him: "I'm more worried about seeing a lost demon king. Then I might feel lonely."

"You won't be alone."

"I want to play in SKT for a few more years, and I will kill you sooner or later."

"After all, I'm the younger one."

"Hahaha." Li Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw his serious look.

Then, his expression became serious and he pointed forward.

At this moment, the sky is blue, with white clouds floating in the sky, the breeze is gradually blowing, and the river is rippling.

"After the 2016 Spring Split, I was very confused. Then I was here, watching the river flow, and the worries in my heart disappeared."

"I think it's a great place."

Li Guapi listened to his words and stared at the river.

In December 2011, Lee Sang Hyuk first contacted the alliance. In the subsequent S2 period, he became the passerby king of Korean server with 2500+ points.

After that, he joined the SKT team and became a mid laner by virtue of being good at mid lane heroes such as LeBlanc.

At that time, South Korea's number one mid laner was An, and Faker's first career kill fell to An.

From that moment on, the journey of the legendary mid laner began.

Looking back at the glory at that time, for Faker at this time, he was also encountering the biggest dilemma in his career.

S6 and S7 lost consecutively on the final stage.

However, after hearing what Li Hao said, Li Guapi felt that they were similar in some aspects.

The two chatted for a while, and finally, Li Hao generously treated Guapi to lunch.

A lot of Magic City specialties were served.

Guapi was very satisfied and felt that Wolfberry could handle it.

This place is the Huangpu Hotel where PDD escaped from his bill.

During the meal, Li Hao also told him about PDD's evasion of bill.

Halfway through the meal, Li Hao suddenly received a call.

"Hey, what!"

"Okay, I'll come right away!"

"..."

Li Guapi was eating eight-treasure duck when he heard Wolfberry say something in a hurry, and then he disappeared.

There was also a thermos cup left on the table, which was given to him by Li Hao and said to be a commemorative model for the 2017 season.

Li Guapi didn't pay attention at first.

"Dudu."

His cell phone rang.

It was a message sent by Li Hao.

"Guapi, the club has something urgent to do with me. Let's meet again next time."

Faker: "It's okay, just go ahead."

"This dish tastes good. I'll treat you to it next time when you come to Korea."

"Haha, okay."

"..."

Ten minutes later, the big devil finished his meal.

Looking at the somewhat empty dinner plates.

Suddenly, he felt blessed and thought of the PDD evasion incident that Wolfberry just mentioned.

The scene seems to have been reproduced.

The big devil smiled sarcastically, thinking that he was being shown off by the wolfberry again.

This guy is really cunning in every way.

However, when he paid, he found that he had already paid.

This surprised him instead.

When I walked to the entrance of Huangpu Hotel, my phone vibrated again.

When he opened it, he saw that it was Li Hao's information.

"Xianghe, you must have guessed that I skipped the bill, right? In fact, I have already paid the bill."

"Besides, I also bought you an extra bottle of Coke."

"You're welcome, this is the friendship of the landlord."

"..."

The big devil clicked his tongue.

It’s a wolfberry that predicted my prediction.

He edited a more formal message and sent it.

"The King, I will definitely come back in the 2018 season!"

Li Hao replied: "Faker, I hope to see you on S8."

This is another agreement they made.

In the taxi, Li Hao put away his mobile phone.

Li Hao knew it very well.

This agreement is actually not that easy to implement.

SKT was frustrated twice in a row, and its morale was almost exhausted.

Even if Faker can maintain his mentality, what about others?

If it were SKT in the past, after losing the game, they would probably not care about playing and return to South Korea for training early.

After working hard for so long, it’s normal for some people to want to slow down and take a break.

"Ding~!"

This time it's not the water from the water dispenser that's boiling, but the Lao Shen system in my mind.

LOL Old God system reminds:

"Dear host, the new health care mechanism of 2018 will be launched on January 13th."

"The host's attributes are fully updated."

"Stay tuned."

"..."

January 13th?

Li Hao took out his phone and looked at his schedule.

According to the official time, the LPL Spring Split will start on January 15th.

Take care of your health two days before the spring game.

That is to say, it is very likely that they will not be able to play games for a period of time after the spring split starts.

The health care time this time is earlier than last year.

If we push forward according to this idea, will it be early to the offseason next time?

If this pattern is true, wouldn't the 2019 season be pushed to the World Championships?

Li Hao frowned slightly. Of course, this was just his guess based on several health care sessions.

The current health care duration and new mechanism are also unclear.

But what is certain is that Snake needs a mid lane substitute.

Li Hao is not worried about things like off-season health care.

As long as the Asian Games and Global Finals of the 2018 season are not delayed.

…

Dropped on November 10th.

Snake's base, inside the Crystal Hub.

The pre-test contract negotiations between Li Hao and the club were officially launched. The difference from the beginning was that this time, in addition to Shuang Quan and Zuo Wu, Mr. She was also present.

Each of them attaches great importance to it and hopes to reach a consensus today.

For Mr. Snake, open and honest negotiations can win people over, but for him, it is just a gamble.

However, for the legendary three consecutive championship dynasty, Mr. Snake has decided to take a gamble!

Zuo Wu said: "Brother Hao, your performance is obvious to all. You can describe it as turning the tide in the S7 World Championship. Throughout the 2017 winter window free market, everyone is staring at our Snake, and you have once again become the biggest fish!"

"We are all old friends. There is no need to hide it. This is the latest offer compiled by the club. Moreover, this is just a tentative offer before testing the waters. Mr. Snake also said that the subsequent offer should be higher."

Zuo Wu was very honest. This was of course what Mr. Snake meant.

It is the minimum attitude not to treat others as fools, not to mention that Li Hao has always been a shrewd person.

Li Hao glanced at the quotation figure above. Compared with last year, it had doubled.

Mr. Snake's chair slid on the floor and came to Li Hao's side.

"Brother Hao, you deserve the most credit for S7."

"To tell you the truth, I made a lot of money this time."

"Last year's 15 million contract, from now on, is the most successful investment in the entire league!"

"I very much hope to continue working with you. You are already the soul of Snake. We can't imagine being without you."

Li Hao believed that although Mr. Snake's words could not be fully believed, they were still sincere.

"First of all, I want to thank you. In this pre-test negotiation, you made a lot of concessions for the club."

"So, I will definitely give you my sincerity."

"Mr. Snake, it's serious."

Seeing that Li Hao seemed very moved, Mr. Snake waved to Zuo Wu and took out a contract document.

Holding this blue contract document in his hand, even Mr. Snake felt heavy.

However, he still placed it in front of Li Hao.

"First of all, the contract signed between the club and you is still for one year."

"During this year, the club will not bind you to other personal contracts, whether it is a live broadcast contract or an advertising endorsement. It only needs to give the club a 10% share."

"The contract we offered is the absolute maximum salary in the current league, 40 million a year!"

"An additional signing fee of 5 million will be given, which will be paid immediately after signing the contract."

If it were just this money, it would be very risky to keep Li Hao before testing the waters.

Mr. Snake also understands.

So, he still has a trump card.

At this time, Mr. Snake turned back a page.

"The next thing is the additional contract renewal clause that I activated."

"If you sign to stay with Snake, you will get 4% of the shares of the Snake team."

Boss Snake stared at Li Hao and continued: "At the same time, the extension of the contract renewal terms will be triggered."

"If Snake can complete three consecutive dynasties in 2018, the shares of the Snake team you can get will increase by 16%. In other words, by then you will own 20% of the shares of a dynasty team!"

As early as 2013, when SKT won its first world championship, their team valuation reached 40 billion won, which is more than 200 million RMB. After one year of S4, their valuation fell. But after S5 regained the championship, the valuation doubled directly.

That was only 2015.

It has developed rapidly in the past two years, especially the LPL league. The current alliance has been quite successful and there is no shortage of advertisers.

After winning the championship in the Bird's Nest, Snake was even more prosperous.

So, the shares promised by Mr. Snake are definitely a lot of money.

Once S8 wins the championship, 20% of the shares of Dynasty Team. For a professional player, this is a huge reward.

Although the addition of the terms is said to be the establishment of a dynasty, Mr. Snake's sincerity can be considered to be enough to take out so many shares.

As far as Mr. Snake is concerned, he is not at a loss either.

The 16% clause is just a blank check.

If there is no three consecutive dynasties in 2018, then this clause will be invalid.

Of course, he hopes to win the championship.

Then, it won’t be a loss if you give out the shares.

The first team in the league, he will get more things than he does now.

Regardless of Boss Snake's little thoughts, for Li Hao, this respect is enough.

He also wants to grab 20% of Snake's shares from Mr. Snake.

"Brother Hao, what do you think?"

Zuo Wu asked from the side.

Li Hao smiled and said it was no problem.

He looked at the back of the contract and saw that there were really not many constraints.

In 2019, the Snakes have priority to renew the contract.

At the same time, the transfer regulation of 1 million became 3 million.

In other words, if the Snakes cannot match the salary of other parties in 2019, the transferred party will need to pay a transfer fee of 3 million.

For a player of Li Hao's worth, these transfer fees are nothing.

…

Li Hao and President Snake signed in turn, and there was an atmosphere of joy in the Snake Team Crystal Hub conference room.

Shuang Quan and Zuo Wu both looked happy.

"Brother Hao, in the 2018 season, our dynasty and Snake's great glory depend on you!"

Snake always stretched out his hand.

Li Hao also reached out and shook his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Snake."

“Happy to work with!”

“Happy to work with!”

"Haha, Lao Zuo, let's have a dinner party tonight!"

"Okay, leave it to me!"

…

When Li Hao left the crystal hub, Zuo Wu chased him out and said:

"Brother Hao, please don't announce our early signing to the outside world. The club still has operations."

"Don't worry, I won't say a word."

Zuo Wu was relieved, Li Hao had always been reliable in doing things.

Snake had been worried before, worried that once Li Hao, a big whale, tested the waters, the situation would be difficult to control.

Things are different now.

They have a contract in hand and everything is fine.

If the third party does not know, the operation can release smoke bombs.

You can imagine how many people that would affect.

At the same time, what a huge amount of attention it will attract!

This wave of free advertising will definitely take off.

…

Just a few days after the global finals, after the teams in the LCS division were reintegrated, big news broke out in the LPL league.

In 2018, the number of LPL teams has been expanded from the original 12 to 14!

Although there were only two more places in the quota, there were four more unfamiliar names.

As one of the three heroes of Lingshi Road, IM obviously failed to keep up with the other two.

BLG acquired IM and entered the LPL.

TOP was formed on the basis of the original DAN team, while RW and FPX were two brand-new teams. VG, which had previously been demoted to the LDL, took the last train.

The LPL stories of the three teams NB, IM and DAN are also completely over.

Snake, EDG, WE, OMG, RNG, LGD, IG, SNG, JDG, VG, BLG, RW, FPX, TOP, these 14 teams will write a new chapter of LPL together.

On November 18, the 2017 winter window transfer period officially opened.

Many melon-eating people have gathered around, ready to watch this round of action.

That morning, news about Team Snake was the first to appear.

E-sports reporter Xiao Liang reported:

"Snake player Zzr announced his retirement. The two-time jungler officially took off his Snake jersey and will no longer compete in the 2018 season."

Snake official release:

"Cuihua, thank you for your contribution to the club! You will always be a part of us!"

"..."

Someone commented below:

[Cuihua retired honorably and won two championships. Although she has a good brother, Cuihua has performed very well in the past two seasons. She has helped Brother Hao very well. I heard that she also works very hard in training, so she deserves this honor. 】

[I used to think that Cuihua was an average jungler in the LPL, but after retiring, I suddenly felt a little panicked. Where could Snake find another jungler who could support his father so selflessly? If I don't get along with Brother Hao, wouldn't it be miserable? 】

[ @Qijiang, Pig Factory, grab the bucket and run away, go to Snake, I want to see Clearlove8 compete in the Snake team in 2018! 】

[Snake hasn’t announced Brother Hao’s contract renewal yet, so I’m a little panicked. Is there something wrong with the contract? 】

…

Some people talked about it, and some people lamented it.

As the winter window transfer period officially begins, more and more unexpected news has emerged.

…

…

PS:

The second update should be longer, hit by hand, don’t wait.

I'm going to have a first-hand meal.
