3. New contract

Inside the Gamemates‘ KG Phoenix 'home.

The bright sunlight that announced the morning woke Minho up through the window. Waking up on a bunk bed, he looks around with a frizzy head. And I stroked the gastrointestinal area like a gentle stroke.

After drinking shakes with Tae Joon for a long time, I can't sleep. I need to go out and have a drink of water. I got out of bed quietly.

In this six-room room, the other players were also asleep. Among them were eagles tado chanting, and the trainees were fierce garlic and iron stalks.

Minho kicked his tongue past them.

‘Pussy, let's practice that. ’

Min-ho, who had cool water in the kitchen, sat by the dining table for a few days, reminiscing.

Coins and watches. Win quiz shows and return coins.

It was a week when two things that could change the foundation of life got unintended. The utilization of this was endless. And there will be more to the world than this. Just what I saw in my dad's safe was amazing.

While thinking about where to look, Minho came back to her room with a big yawn.

It's not too late to think after a little more sleep. Minho got into bed and found her cell phone flashing as she arrived.

[Stronghold. There's been a change of contract. Be ready by 9: 00.]

It was a text from the director. The acquisition with the KG Phoenix Games Group automatically extended the contract, leaving about a year behind. Treatment was good and the listing was in good condition, so I was not complaining about the sudden change.

‘What does it mean? ’

Looking at the clock, there were less than 30 minutes left. I stopped in the bathroom and simply washed and dressed. I waited a moment, and someone rang the doorbell on my listing. When I opened the door, I thought I was the director, I had never seen the man greet me.

“Hello, you're Kang Min-ho, right? ”

“Yes.”

The man with the 30 ordinary impression reached out his hand.

“I'm Gongdo Yun. Starting today, I'll be the manager of Minho's team. ”

“Manager?”

Minho shook his hand in a clumsy manner and made a curious face. It was either the director or the coach's job to manage the players in the team. I've never heard of a manager getting attached to an individual player.

“Do you want to go over the details? ”

I followed Gongdo Yoon out of the house. In front of the listing was a luxury van marked 'KG Entertainment’.

“Get in.”

“Where are we going? ”

“The boss wants to see you. ”

Minho sat in the passenger seat and did not clear the question of why he was looking for himself. Gyeongdo Yun, who held the wheel, smiled briefly, looking at Minho.

“Next time, get in the back. It's Kang Min-ho's spot. ”

Ben arrived in front of the Sanctuary at KG Entertainment in the middle of Gangnam. A modern building with a huge KG initials on it was impressive with a transparent glass facade.

Minho got out of the van and admired the refined appearance of the KG Sanctuary.

“My affiliation has turned into this place? ”

“Yes, from now on, you will not be a KG Phoenix, but a player who is managed separately by the headquarters. ”

The door opened with a beeping sound when the ball manager swiped the card in front of the automatic door. A clean corridor decorated with black-and-white wood.

Minho's gaze remained on the frames that occupied one side of the hallway as he passed through the interior of the prison.

The face of KG's leading actor, singer and MC, who is the owner of the gaming team and a considerable size company, was hung. And I noticed that those faces were sitting on one side of the break room, talking. They were the only stars I could find on TV, so I couldn't easily lose my eyes.

“This way.”

The ball manager points to the elevator. A door opens on the fifth floor and a small hall sits with a secretary.

Minho and his assistant, who had checked the ball manager, picked up the phone and said:

“Kang Minho has arrived. ”

The secretary looks up and asks you to go inside.

The ball manager opens the door. Minho stepped forward to his room.

On the other side of the spacious space, the boss leaning against the leather chair turned. A mid-30s woman with a mustard-colored cardigan on her tied head nods, looking at the ball manager.

“Good job, Doyun. ”

The ball manager lowers his head slightly and retreats.

“Talk to me. ”

Min Ho was in shock. The famous head of KG Enter was a woman and not very old. If it weren't for the 'President Lim So-hee’ sign on the desk, it would look like a young career woman for a company.

“Welcome, Kang Min-ho. Have a seat over here."

“Nice to meet you. ”

Minho bows his head, sitting in a chair.

“Is green tea okay? ”

“Yes.”

Im So-hee pressed the speakerphone to order a car. Then I asked Minho.

“Suddenly, you were embarrassed. ”

“Somewhat. Is being a part of something that can change at random if I don't agree with it? ”

Im So-hee shakes her head with a smile.

“There must be some misunderstanding. I ordered Kang Min-ho to discuss that part. I apologize first."

Min-ho felt something professional because of his charming tone of voice. I was relieved by the expression and words of the boss and not being arrogant. But I could never look down at it because of that weird, confident smile.

Knock, knock.

“Come in, Secretary Han. ”

While the secretary opened the door and brought a tray with her car, Min-ho unknowingly looked at Im Soo-hee's heart. The breasts that looked generous, of course, were worth seeing, but not just because of that. This is because one of the pens on the front pocket of the blouse aroused my interest.

A pen with a subtle black gloss was a rather priceless fountain pen equipped with ink cartridges.

What is it?

You're strangely attracted. It looks as if you're holding it in your hand. Min-ho, who was just looking at the pen for a while, turned to look at his heart, wondering if Min-hee would find it offensive. Then I met Im So-hee's eyes.

Minho pointed to the pen without embarrassment.

“You look good. ”

“Do you know the fountain pen well? ”

“I don't know, but if you say something like this, you might laugh...”

Minho smiled beautifully after saying something.

“The fountain pen seems to have its own elegance. You know, keep your eyes peeled. ”

I also wondered about Minho because he knew he was not in a hurry. However, in his words, Minhee smiles with a wide eye.

“It's quite historical. ”

Im Soo-hee took out a pen with her soft, memorable eyes. And I gave it to Minho as if it were okay to take a closer look.

"Huh?"

Minho thought he was mistaken when he saw the light that attracted his attention as soon as he grabbed the pen. I thought it might be something as powerful as a coin or a pocket watch, but there was no way to check it right away.

Approximately. A document is placed on the desk by Minhee, who has cleared her soft eyes for a moment.

“Let's get down to business as soon as you're ready to sign. This is Minho's new contract with amendments. ”

Minho looked at the contract on his desk and asked.

“There are other things to do besides the game league. ”

“That's the point. As you may have heard from the ball manager, we value the player Kang Min-ho. not only as a professional gamer, but also as an entertainer. ”

“What exactly does total entertainment mean? ”

Im So-hee picked up the remote control and pressed the power button. The light on the large monitor on the wall is on.

Correct! Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 500 million!

On the screen, Minho appeared on the quiz show.

“That's it. People who are familiar with the public, who are entertaining them. ”

Minho stepped back.

“I'm not a gamer. ”

Im So-hee shakes her head.

“In a big way, playing as a professional gamer is one of the elements of entertainment. People are excited and excited to see Minho play. Being at the pinnacle as a gamer is a great advantage for broadcasting. ”

Yesterday's game screen flowed from the monitor.

“I hear the opponent is a very good rookie. The game was intense, wasn't it? ”

“I did.”

Lim So-hee pressed the stop button on the screen that reflected the face of Minho and Lee Taek.

“They're equally fierce, but they look different. Minho has the leisure to play unconsciously, and that new player is trying to pretend to be cool. And that's a big difference for the viewer. ”

Im So-hee confronted Min-ho.

“You like the challenge, don't you? ”

Im So-hee said as if she knew everything about you.

“I love a challenge. To build awareness, to appear on better broadcasts, to find people who can grow into their own values while receiving more attention and love from the public. I decided you were. ”

“Just two broadcasts? ”

Im So-hee silently laughed at Min-ho's words.

“Oh, that's enough. If you don't want to reinstate, feel free to let me know. This is an offer, not a recommendation. ”

Minho was troubled. The term of the amendment shall be 5 years. Once you've decided, there's no going back. The life of a professional gamer is interesting because he makes money and leaves without making money. But a real broadcast. Gumi was a fascinating but totally untouched area, so it was vague to judge.

‘What should I do... …. ’

While looking into the contract, Minho thought it was difficult to understand its pros and cons immediately.

“To give you some help, even if you keep the original terms, long-term contracts are more profitable than monomechanisms. Distribution varies, and even if you get the same profit, you're 20 percent different if you sign a five-year contract, and if you make 100 million, you lose 2,000. ”

I felt confident that I would not learn it without signing it in the voice of Minhee who gives a good explanation.

‘Profit sharing, gross profit... Phew, not differential equation. ’

From the labor costs of managers and coordinators to marketing expenses, to hair care and taxes. He had to go through complex calculations of means to clearly determine his or her profit and loss.

The scenery of the numbers was neither readily understood, nor touched. I hated math when I was a student.

“Judge well. because we are thinking of the best treatment. ”

Lim So-hee's words were like a pressure that he would not give the best treatment if he didn't sign up this time.

“That's...”

It was at that time when Minho was going to ask me to sign a long-term contract as he said. The pen in your hand starts to move by itself.

Huh?

Min-ho stopped feeling like she was moving. Hands followed as the fountain pen went. Minho stared at the contract.

[Average rate of return increase = 20.5% (contractor + company)]

[Contractor = 4.5% (4.5% increase in profit distribution)]

[Company = 16% (cost reduction 20.5% - profit distribution reduction 4.5%)]

Pen arranges his words in a formula. At that moment, my father's words hit my brain.

- Son, for God's sake. There are things with hidden powers like that coin. And we have the ability to discover it and draw it out.

"This is how you look for it. ’

Perhaps it was a pen influenced by Minhee himself. Business tools, the ability to resemble a mechanically fast turnkey owner.

Minho pretended to examine the contract carefully and read what Lim Hui's pen had written.

Thinking only about the complex revenue share, I missed something really important. The majority of the costs of broadcasting were covered by the company, although it was not a mistake to say that profits increased by 20% for five years, including the company. If the contract is not thoroughly scanned, it is overlooked and overstated.

“You're telling me you've been tying them up for five years with 4.5 percent profit allocation to contractors. ”

Minho's expression shook Im Hee who was optimistic that he would sign the contract of course.

“Is there anything you'd like to adjust? ”

Minho asked.

“How about 8% profit share in 3 years? ”

“That's hard. It's a loss to the company. ”

The pen moves on the words of Minhee who refuses the dagger.

[Average return increase = 13.7% (contractor + company)]

[Contractor = 8% (profit distribution increases by 8%)]

[Company = 5.7% (cost reduction 13.7% - profit distribution reduction 8%)]

Minho glanced at the formula.

“You think it's a 5.7% gain or loss? I guess the best treatment you've ever said is for someone who's signed a five-year slavery contract. ”

“5.7%? ”

“I'm talking about the average rate of return increase. I'm up 8%. I'm up 8%. The company will have a 13.7% reduction in costs, so don't you see a 5.7% gain? ”

As I was doing the calculations in my mind, Rare was perplexed. The average rate of return increase over the past three years was not simply an answer for how much you earned and how much you gained. Based on the company's network's revenue data, it required a series of processes to generate estimates and calculate its average value.

Im So-hee asked as if Min-ho was surprised to talk about it all at once.

“Have you seen my audit? ”

“I'm just interested. ”

Minho just smiles, making the contract in his hand invisible to the other party.

“About the other clauses, I'll be on the main line if you want to add incentives when you win. ”

“If that's possible, I'll put in a clause. ”

It was not easy to take advantage of a shaken Minhee negotiation. Minho began to take advantage of the contract from the beginning.

[3 Year Agreement. Final yield increase of 23% of contractors.]

That's far enough. ’

Minho looked at the final result with a satisfied expression.

“Have you decided? ”

Min-ho said, with his questions, he erased all the formulas written in the contract by painting them black.

“Let me ask you one last question. ”

“Ask. ”

“Do you think I can be like the people hanging in the halls of this prison? ”

Im So-hee smiled with a young confidence that she saw when she first entered the visit.

“Can I be honest with you? ”

“Yes.”

“It's worth investing in. I'm judging. ”

In fact, Minho trusted this word.

“Fine, I'll sign it. ”

Minho got up from his seat after signing. Minho reached out his hand first.

“Good luck in the future, Kang Min-ho. ”

“Please take good care of me. ”

After shaking hands, Minho pointed to Minho's pen.

“Would you be willing to give me this pen instead of the deposit? ”

“It'll be cheaper, but it won't work. It means a lot to me. ”

Minho was unfortunate, but he had no choice but to return the pen.

* * *

Min-ho came out of the boss's room, waiting in front of the elevator, took his cell phone and dialed his father's number.

You hear a beep and a circular voice.

- What's the matter?

“Dad, I just saw something weird. ”

Minho told me what she had just experienced with Im So-hee's pen.

“It was sparkly, so I can use my abilities. ”

- I told you it was a family gift. What you just saw was a love affair. The coin or watch that was passed down as an heirloom is an artifact.

“Can you tell the difference? ”

- Everyone has a loving item. If it fits with his personality, it glows like you saw it. You can use that. Often it's his ability to relate.

Minho recalled the ritual of sobriety and abstinence. The ability of the fountain pen and her just broke and intelligent was amazingly well aligned.

- Conversely, an item that I don't know about, but is unique to the person who used it. It's hard to say, but I'm better at it. This is it. If you can find it and keep it, take it.

Minho nodded, "I see."

‘The real egg is in the safe. ’

At least the treasures in the Yunhwan's vault were clearly in order. If I thought I couldn't even get an item easily, I wanted to inherit it rather than find it in a strict place.

Minho glanced and stabbed.

“Do you want to sell more of what's in the safe? ”

- I'm hanging up.

Sweet.

A father who, without hesitation or hesitation, usually disconnects. It's just an old saying that no tree is to be cut down ten times. If I hit you, you'll ruin my axe blade.

“Wow, you're such a pussy! ”

It was better not to spit a drop of sweat with the needle, rather than blood. Minho grumbled and lowered his cell phone.

‘It's an antique and an artifact. ’

Now I have to get into the habit of watching closely with my aunt when I see people.
