Chapter 182 Mrs. SKT, you don’t want Riot to know about this, right? Watching the players enter the reserved box, Abu took out his mobile phone and called Ed Zhu.
"Hello, boss."
He leaned against the wall of the corridor outside the room, his tone a little low, Abu, who was rarely agitated, kept rubbing his hair, anxiously waiting for the voice on the other end of the phone.
Some things, if you don't talk about them, it will be too late.
"Bush?"
"Oh, you asked me to come over and celebrate together, right? Don't worry, I'm already on my way."
Ed Zhu spoke briskly, and it sounded like he was in a good mood.
"...Did you watch the game that just ended?"
Abu tidied up his words and spoke.
"Look! Xu Yuan played really well. I think he really deserves the FMVP."
Ai Dezhu does not hide his current appreciation for Xu Yuan.
"So... about contract renewal?"
Ed Zhu on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.
"Xiao Bu, I want to apologize to you here."
He said so.
Abu's heart suddenly became cold, could it be said? "Oh, I only had a rough idea of every transfer before."
Ed Zhu said sadly, "You're right, Boo."
"A player like this is indeed worthy of a contract of 500 million or more."
Ed Zhu is still quite concerned about the team, but it is still somewhat difficult for him to know the net worth of the top players in each position.
But it doesn't matter, Ed Zhu can compare.
I wonder how much Xu Yuan deserves?
Just look at his defeated generals!
The previous highest AD position contract was Uzi's.
His last transfer was a contract worth 5000 million.
Although it is a two-year contract with a signing fee, it is at least more than 2000 million a year.
Look at it this way...
Ed Zhu suddenly felt that Xu Yuan's contract was really not expensive.
How expensive is it?
In fact, it has been this price for so many years! Ed Zhu felt that this was really not Xu Yuan’s problem.
Sometimes you really should look for your own problems. He doesn't understand the market too well.
"...Boss?! What do you mean...?"
Abu's mood was like a roller coaster, and his voice rose to the point of breaking due to extreme happiness.
He asked cautiously.
"Keep Xu Yuan in EDG at all costs!"
Edju gave his final instructions.
"Twenty-five million is fine!"
"3000 million is fine!"
"Thirty-five million is no problem, and even 500 million a year is not out of the question!"
"Xiao Bu, you must do your best to give him the best treatment and the greatest respect!"
"Let him stay!"
This was the final decision Edju made.
No matter what the cost, no matter how much you pay, you must keep Xu Yuan in EDG.
He smiled and said, "Isn't there a saying before? Ming Kai's substitutes are all princes."
"Xu Yuan is now our EDG real prince."
"Just kidding, haha, in terms of performance, at least he is now the Young Emperor who has ascended the throne."
"Xiao Bu, we must use our emotions to move him with reason, and let him feel our sincerity to the greatest extent possible!"
"Yes! Boss!"
Abu only felt that the shadow that had been lingering around him these days had completely dissipated at this moment.
But he still has a problem.
"Smeb's contract ends next year and he seems to be thinking of leaving."
"Mingkai has already made plans to retire."
"The rest of us are a little too competitive."
"Boss, if other teams offer the same price as us or even more, it will still be difficult for our lineup to attract Xu Yuan to stay."
Ed Zhu pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Will Scout leave?"
Abu was stunned for a moment, he frowned and thought about it before giving a reply.
"Probably...no. It was hard for us at EDG to be like this at the beginning of this year, and Scout didn't leave either."
He smiled bitterly and said, "At that time, I thought S7 was hopeless and didn't want to delay him for a year, so I specifically asked him if he needed help in running a team back to the LCK."
"The answer he gave me was that he would not leave."
Will Scout leave?
how can that be possible.
Abu really didn't think this would happen.
"Not always."
Ed Zhu had completely opposite ideas to him. "The reason why I didn't leave at that time was because I hadn't gotten the results yet and hadn't played on the field yet, so I felt unwilling to do so."
"Now that we have won the S7 global finals, for Scout, the dream that he may have been holding on to has come true."
"He naturally has no reason to stay in the LPL."
Abu had a headache, "Boss, is this idea a little too real?"
"Just think I'm overly concerned."
Ed Zhu also felt that the chance was very low and shook his head.
He also told Abramovich some things about winning the championship, and then hung up the phone.
"Grass!"
After hanging up the phone, Abu punched the corridor wall.
Although he grimaced in pain, he still smiled happily.
Xu Yuan, if you have a chance, keep him! And with the boss’s attitude, the chances are great! When he walked into the room, there was an undisguised smile on his face.
So much so that Ming Kai thought he was neurotic.
At this time, Xu Yuan was strolling around the Stress Bar with gusto.
The food hasn’t come yet, so it’s a pleasure to visit Kang Bar at this time.
Get some resistance Maggot Baby 778.
Then came the opening lightning strike.
"Reasonable discussion, has Savior surpassed Faker?"
Xu Yuan grinned, "I've passed it, but this is too much. Although my brother has won a Grand Slam that Lee Sang Hyuk has not won, he still has three S crowns."
But to be honest, it’s kind of cool.
A Grand Slam is indeed an awesome achievement.
In addition, he almost held the C in the S game, smashing the bottom lane teams of SSG and SKT head-on, and playing against the peak King Chi and Bang.
The gold content is also absolutely full.
On the LPL side, everyone probably thinks that his achievements are unprecedented and they don't know if anyone will come after him.
But Koreans definitely don’t recognize it.
European and American audiences may not recognize it either.
After all, everyone in Europe and the United States understands the attitude towards CN.
Blaming the LCK and disparaging the LPL is politically correct.
However, LPL was indeed cowardly before.
From this point of view.
The LPL is really not as stable as the LCK in terms of competitiveness for the championship.
From S3 to now S7.
The LCK has never missed a World Championship final.
This is proof of stability.
They always seem to have a variety of top players coming out.
And most of the time the LPL is...
buy! If you can’t beat it, buy it! How can such behavior be recognized by Europeans and Americans who don’t like CN in the first place?
Although everyone doesn’t need their approval.
Because although the LPL is a competition area where you can't get up or down, you can't get stuck there, Europe and the United States are even more pure garbage.
Except for one or two teams that are still competitive, the World Championship is about steadily delivering points.
Xu Yuan regained his energy and replied with this paragraph below.
"There's no point arguing about this now. Don't give your father Yuan a picture."
Hey!
He hehe smiled.
Now the LPL has won a big victory, while the LCK has lost a lot.
In this case, I still behave like this.
You must be scolded to death, right?
Then my brother’s talent has reached its peak, do you still need to break through the limits?
He kind of looked forward to it.
As for the ban? Haha, there are already people in the small bar now.
He specifically pays Xiaoba Yuyu [-] every month just to ensure that he will not be banned.
This is the evil PY transaction.
Sorry, if you have money you can really do whatever you want.
Not only that, Xu Yuan is also preparing to run for a new small bar.
He doesn't want to be a permission dog.
But he felt... this thing can be used without it, but it can't be lived without.
After browsing the post again, Xu Yuan looked a little strange at the sudden increase in replies.
"Are there many people today?"
He enthusiastically clicked in to reply.
Private Lee Sang-hyeok replied, using different methods to brag about Yan Yuan’s father:
"Yuan Shen, stop trying. Where can I say no to you next year?"
Xu Yuan:? As soon as he entered, he saw this sentence.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and his entire mouth went dry.
Almost instantly...I was sweating profusely!
Difficult... Could it be?
With a heavy mentality of "I absolutely don't want to do this!", Xu Yuan turned over the pages with a serious look on his face.
At this moment, he is even more serious than playing SKT!
SKT:…
Kiroshita replied, bragging about you in a different way: "Dad! You are so handsome today! Five kills of Verus Niu Niu Niu!"
Bullfrog and Frog replied: "Yuan Shen, how do you want us to blow you? As long as you send a message, you guys will definitely do it!"
E-sports Neymar replied to his father Yuan in a different way: "Dad! Can you come to RNG next year? Please!"
Xu Yuan became more and more numb as he looked at it.
These "old acquaintances" all replied to him, which really made his ominous premonition stronger and stronger.
Scroll further up, and there are also a lot of complimenting and capturing comments.
"Capture the Abyss God!"
"Handsome! Yuan Shen!"
"After looking through the posting history, Yuan Shen seems to have a bit of a sense of humor."
"Hahahahahahaha! So it turns out that the one who played Uzi one, three, five, two, four, six and black Uzi was Yuan Shen himself?"
"Awesome, Yuan Shen! Everyone is under your control!"
"So, it's probably just a human being that Abyss hates Uzi, right? Who can really brag about Uzi?"
"The case has been solved. It turns out that Yuan Shen is the biggest Godzilla!"
Xu Yuan put down his phone expressionlessly and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
I must have read it wrong.
Excited heart, trembling hands.
When he picked up the phone again, those comments were still there.
Xu Yuan's blood pressure rose rapidly.
"Grass!"
who is it?
Who leaked the news? !
His vest was really taken out!
Xu Yuan feels that he can record a Vlog now.
The title is called [Immersive experience of being opened by someone]
He forced himself not to read the replies and flipped through the post with trembling hands.
It wasn't long before he found the culprit.
Then, Xu Yuan became numb.
[I may have discovered a big secret. Savior has been posting this all along, right? ! 】
The person who posted this is the person who once analyzed that RNG did not play training games with other teams in the intercontinental competition! Still him! Xu Yuan looked at this post numbly.
This host is indeed very capable.
After he had doubts in his heart, he analyzed Xu Yuan's reply habits by comparing them with his speaking habits, combined with his online time.
Then through the technical support of his buddy, a good brother who retired from an unknown army.
Among the massive samples with the IP address of Modu, more than 100 targets that may be Xu Yuan’s account were captured.
And at the end, the screenshot Xu Yuan accidentally sent was compared with the mobile phone interface briefly exposed in the team's VLOG promotional video.
Thus, Xu Yuan was accurately targeted.
Because Xu Yuan has a special habit, he is more accustomed to using a special artistic font.
Just because of this, the original poster was completely convinced.
There are actually many IP addresses in Shanghai.
The interface is similar, and this can indeed be explained.
Even if the posting time is very unique, most of them are when they are not training, there is something to be said for it.
But coupled with this unique font, it’s basically a real deal.
With so many coincidences, it’s really hard to be a coincidence.
numb!
Hemp in hemp! This is Xu Yuan's only feeling.
Big brother!
You are really skilled!You are really talented!
But...can you stop being so idle?
Just because of a suspicion, you directly tracked down your buddy for several days? !
Damn it, I didn’t break the law either!
Why did you use the means specially used to deal with criminals on your brother?
Xu Yuan chose... to be a turtle!
His expression remained backhand is a direct shutdown! It's shameful to be a turtle on the field, and Xu Yuan looks down on this kind of behavior.
But off the court...
It shouldn't matter if you turtle for a while, right?
There is no way, after all, Xu Yuan can be regarded as a person who resists.
It's normal to have double standards.
"Am I not late?"
The door was pushed open, and Ed Zhu, who had specifically asked his assistant to wait outside the door, walked in with a smile.
After a brief exchange of greetings, as the food gradually arrived on the table, the atmosphere began to become lively.
Ming Kai's hawk-like eyes scanned.
After seeing Xu Yuan pick up the juice as usual, he became softer.
He felt that it was better for Xu Yuan to drink less at his age, since he was still underage after all.
But Mingkai thought too much.
Xu Yuan's situation in his previous life... He really couldn't smoke or Yuan also thought about trying the taste of wine, but finally gave up.
As for cigarettes? He really didn't like the smell.
After having enough wine and food, Ed Zhu looked at the players putting down their bowls and chopsticks and smiled.
“Everyone played very well today!”
He was not stingy with his compliments.
"Especially our Xu Yuan! His performance throughout the S game is obvious to all!"
Ed Zhu praised Xu Yuan by name.
Xu Yuan also stood up very sensibly and toasted Ai Dezhu with juice instead of wine.
Ed Zhu was stunned, then smiled and clinked a drink with him.
He likes Xu Yuan even more.
Xu Yuan didn't think there was any humiliation. The price Ai Dezhu offered him was 2000 million a year.
His sincerity is indeed sufficient, and he still has some human sophistication.
How many people on the Internet are rushing to eat a hundred thousand mouthfuls of shit.
It’s definitely a good idea to have a correct attitude towards your boss.
After all, he really gave me money!
Edju may default on other debts, but he really wouldn't do this to the players.
"Taking this opportunity, I also want to talk to you openly and honestly."
Edju put down his wine glass and spoke with a smile.
"We have achieved unprecedented achievements in the LPL this year, and I think you are the five most correct people."
"So I want to renew the contract with all of you, and let's work together for another year,"
"Of course, I also know that as players, you must have your own plans."
Edouard spread his hands.
Xu Yuan almost burst into laughter.
This movement... looks very much like a little bear spreading its hands.
"so what……"
"My idea here is that if you players want to stay in EDG, then we will definitely give you a contract that will ensure that you will not suffer any injustice."
He paused, "Whether you are renewed in the end or not, you will always be our EDG heroes. There is no doubt about this."
"I... want to hear what you think."
There was silence in the room for a while.
Ed Zhu looked at Xu Yuan with expectant eyes.
Xu Yuan sighed inwardly.
How can I put it... His original idea was to play up his worth after one year of playing and help EDG win the championship and owe no one to anyone.
So he initially wanted to leave EDG.
However, it has been fighting for so long.
In Xu Yuan's heart, it was impossible to say that he had no feelings at all.
And he really didn't think about his next family.
EDG has no shortcomings except that the food supply is over [-] million points and the management is a bit strict.
Xu Yuan felt that he might need to think for a day or two more before giving Ed Zhu an answer.
But just when he was about to speak, a somewhat plain voice sounded first.
"I want to go back to LCK, boss."
Xu Yuan looked in the direction of the sound with some surprise.
Sitting there was Li Rucan.
His eyes were serious and he continued to speak.
"I have no intention of renewing my contract."
Looking at this sudden change, Abu was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
He opened his mouth, but only asked this sentence dryly.
"why?"
Li Rucan lowered his head slightly, but remained firm.
"...my dream has come true."
"I've missed my family a lot in the two years I've been here."
"If possible, I would still like to play in the LCK next year. My parents have been in poor health recently, and I want to spend more time with them."
Ed Zhu suddenly said,
"Is it okay if I help your parents buy an apartment here and let them move here?"
Scout didn't say anything, just shook his head.
"...Okay, then which club do you want to go to? We'll help you run it."
Ed Zhu sighed and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Forget it.
No matter how much you say to someone whose heart is no longer there, it is useless.
"...SKT."
Xu Yuan:? Ed Zhu:?
Smeb:? "Scout, don't tell me, you have already contacted SKT's operations staff privately."
Abu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
This is expressly prohibited by the alliance! Because this is too detrimental to the interests of the club.
Even if EDG really wants to let Scout go, the club will definitely come forward.
Because only in this way can the price be pulled.
EDG trained Scout for two years and now they have won the championship.
Even if they want to trade, it is really understandable for them to take some profits.
But now that Scout said this, it almost means that he has contacted people from SKT privately.
This situation is the most difficult for EDG to accept.
Because this means that SKT has seen through its trump card! Players' personal wishes will greatly affect the price during the transfer period.
To put it bluntly, this behavior is no different from that of an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
Scout wanting to transfer and Xu Yuan wanting to transfer are completely different things.
Xu Yuan has not been in contact with any other clubs now, and he has been in the starting lineup since he first came to EDG. EDG just gave him a stage and a good environment.
But Scout is different. He is a mid laner that EDG bought from SKT and carefully trained for two years! Moreover, he also contacted other clubs privately! EDG originally couldn't keep Xu Yuan because they weren't necessarily willing to pay for it.
As for Scout, they never thought of giving up.
Li Rucan didn't look at Abu's disappointed eyes and just nodded.
"Can I ask, why SKT?"
Abu took a deep breath and asked.
"........."
Li Rucan was silent for a while, "They promised me that they would give me the starting lineup."
"They said, do you believe it?"
Abu was going crazy.
Isn't SKT just Faker's team?
You know how false this is!
"and many more."
Xu Yuan suddenly spoke.
"Who from SKT told you that?"
"Their boss's assistant promised me personally!"
"Xu Yuan, believe me, I am really not a traitor. I just want to spend more time with my family and return to the LCK to prove myself!"
Scout said quickly.
Xu Yuan just shook his head gently.
"It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions, we are still friends."
"Scout, tell me, does the person who contacted you speak English or Korean?"
Li Rucan was startled, and he carefully recalled the emotional voice just now.
"English! He speaks English!"
Edju's reaction was quick.
His natural acumen for business enabled him to spot problems immediately.
The capital behind SKT was originally SK, but the person in charge assigned to SKT by SK was a pure Korean.
Where did the English assistant come from?
Koreans need to find an English assistant to communicate with Koreans, right? There is only one possibility.
If that person is really from SKT, then this could very well be the beginning of a power struggle.
Has capital from Europe and America entered SKT?
Ed Zhu immediately asked his assistant to check, and he got the information not long after.
This is not a secret thing either.
In August this year, Comcast from the United States reached a cooperation with SK.
After he told the news, Xu Yuan breathed out.
Thanks to the system for keeping his mind sharp.
As such...
After S7, Lee Sang Hyuk seemed to have found some reasons for his many substitutions.
Even domestic SKT fans scolded the white-skinned boss half to death during that period.
The fans in South Korea didn't even have to think about it, and they were absolutely scolding.
however……
Even though Lee Sang Hyuk was clearly in good condition, he still sat on the bench for a very long time.
This thing itself exudes a strange atmosphere.
There seems to be no more reasonable explanation other than being involved in a high-level struggle and becoming a victim.
Xu Yuan suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.
He looked at Scout and said,
"Scout, you should know this is against the rules, right?"
If a club wants to poach players, it must approach the players through the management of the club that holds the contract.
For players who are directly linked to SKT privately, this kind of intention talk is considered a violation.
Correspondingly, players or coaches who cooperate with poaching behavior will also be punished.
Ed Zhu waved his hand, "Forget it, we can't keep him even if we leave. Let SKT contact us formally."
Having just won the S crown, he could forgive Scout's willful behavior.
But if SKT wants to just hug Scout, that's just wishful thinking.
In fact, Edju could even use this incident to severely sue SKT and tear a large piece of flesh from SKT's body.
But if you want to sue SKT, you must also sue Scout.
He is still ready to let Scout go.
"Aren't you going to stay?"
Xu Yuan asked in a deep voice.
"……Um."
Edouard nodded.
Abu looked sad and couldn't help but muttered.
"This... next year's mid laner... where can I find it?"
Xu Yuan heard what he said and smiled.
"Isn't it already available?"
Abu was stunned, "Huh?"
Xu Yuan spoke slowly, "Since they want Scout, just give it to them."
He smiled.
"let them……"
He paused slightly, looked at the eyes gathered in the room, and said the second half of the sentence with a smile.
"Send Lee Sang Hyuk here with your own hands!"
Almost instantly, the entire box fell into absolute silence.
"It's impossible."
A Bu felt that Xu Yuan was having a whim.
"Why is it impossible?"
Xu Yuan asked rhetorically.
"They will definitely sign a contract to guarantee Scout's starting position, right? This means that Lee Sang Hyuk will become the substitute."
"As a champion player who has won three championships, it will be difficult for both the players themselves and the fans to accept it."
"Unless a player voluntarily sits on the bench, it is normal for him to want to leave. Which champion player can bear to be benched?"
When Xu Yuan said this, he sighed in his heart.
Oh shit.
I guess the white-skinned boss thought the same way when he put Lee Sang Hyuk on the bench, right? But Lee Sang Hyuk really accepted the arrangement obediently and really went to sit on the bench.
This man's character... is indeed invincible.
"If SKT doesn't agree, then we can use this matter to force them to agree."
"We can tell them this:"
"Head of SKT, you don't want RIOT to know that you contacted players privately, right?"
He smiled and continued.
"In order to cover up this matter, coupled with the changes in the old and new management, I think the probability is really not low."
"Taking a step back, even if they still disagree, we can still earn a lot of compensation through this matter, and the budget for buying a new mid laner will be much larger."
"Boss... you can even hide Scout directly."
He put the harsh reality in front of Scout's eyes, which also made Scout's face turn completely pale.
A violation is a violation.
Can't wash it off.
Edjue was stunned.
He just felt that Xu Yuan seemed a bit too extreme.
This is too urban! However, Xu Yuan always talks about matters as they happen.
Li Rucan was indeed his friend, but what he did was really unreasonable.
It was simply...a replica of the incident he had with KT later! "No need, no need, just pay the money."
Edju finally sighed and shook his head.
There is some emotion there.
If he was asked to hide Scout, he really couldn't do it.
but……
The idea put forward by Xu Yuan also made his heart start to beat uncontrollably.
What if... Lee Sang Hyuk is really in the hands of our EDG.
Then you can’t take off?
Xu Yuan also smiled and expressed his thoughts at this time.
"Boss, if the mid laner is Lee Sang Hyuk next year, I will renew my contract."
He also felt that the success rate of this matter was very low.
But just fool Ed Zhu.
Using this excuse, maybe we can break up peacefully with EDG by then, right?
Xu Yuan felt that he had amazing wisdom!
He didn't notice that Abu's eyes became sharp.
He walked out of the box, took out his cell phone and found the person's number.
"Hey?"
"Coach Abu? What's wrong?"
In the DAN team club, Guo Hao was a little confused.
"Haozi, I've always heard that you can impress players."
Abu spoke sincerely.
"Brother, I have never begged anyone in my life."
"Please, can you accompany us EDG to Korea in a few days?"
Guo Hao: Huh?
