Chapter 1615: Insulting Offer! Wait for Me Next Season

After hearing the offer from GEN·G, Lin Cheng felt something was wrong.

You offered 4 billion won to Chaowei, why did you only offer 5 billion to Cheng?

What does that mean?

Are you looking down on me?

I am not Zeyuan, who would pay for GEN·G.

If it was last year, 5 billion won would have been an absolute sky-high price in LCK, but after a year, everyone can see Lin Cheng's commercial value, not to mention his outstanding competitive state.

"In my opinion, GEN·G is not very determined to compete for you."

Zheng Shiyan has a good grasp of the information, "GEN·G has made a lot of moves this year, but they need to replace too many positions. I understand that they are also contacting other top players at the same time."

"Obviously GEN·G also knows that the chances of signing you are slim. Instead of competing with other teams, it is better to adjust the strategy and quickly grab some other talented players who are not being snapped up."

Lin Cheng understood that GEN·G's strategy is actually very smart.

This year they announced a reorganization. Everyone knows that GEN·G has money, but GEN·G is also afraid of falling into vicious competition with other teams and crazy price-raising.

There are not many players like Lin Cheng that can afford it. Teams that are determined to compete are often well prepared. GEN·G is unlikely to win Lin Cheng when it almost has to replace the entire lineup.

So they are just tentative offers, but they are more determined to win Chao Wei, and then quickly finalize some other powerful players.

After all, although LCK teams have money after the alliance, it is not too outrageous. For any team, it is a painful thing to want to sign Chao Wei and Lin Cheng at the same time.

"Then there is DK. They also offered you 5 billion won."

Lin Cheng didn't expect DK to be really interested in him.

Just announced that four main players left the team. Aren't they in a hurry to sign Canyon and Showmaker back now?

Of course, DK is backed by Kia. If the sponsor is willing to invest, everything will be fine.

Moreover, Kia is in charge of the operation of the DK club. Judging from their crazy collaboration with the entertainment industry since last year, they probably value Lin Cheng's commercial value.

"Leaving KT aside, Hanwha seems to be the most sincere among the three LCK teams."

Zheng Shiyan pinched her daughter's cheek. The little girl just secretly drank a sip of coffee from her mother's cup. She shrank her neck and wrinkled her face, which was very funny.

"I checked. The Hanwha Eagles, a baseball team sponsored by Hanwha, had a salary expenditure of less than 6 billion won last year. The initial offer they gave you even exceeded the total salary of the Hanwha Eagles team."

"Really?"

Xiao Tong was surprised, "Wow! Lin Cheng, a gamer, is more expensive than a baseball team?"

Lin Cheng stared at her unhappily.

"Ah! What do you mean by a gamer?"

Xiao Tong smiled and hid beside Zheng Shiyan to tease Xiao Enxi.

From Zheng Shiyan's words, it can be seen that e-sports players are indeed more popular in South Korea, and the player's salary has exceeded that of most local traditional sports athletes.

It can even be said that the treatment of top e-sports players in South Korea has completely surpassed that of traditional sports, especially after the LCK became a league in the past two years.

The highest annual salary of the K-League player is only 1.4 billion won, and the top baseball players are about the same level. Other sports are not as good as football and baseball.

In the past few years, Kiin's 1.5 billion won was the highest salary in LCK except for Faker, but now many of the first-line players in LCK are worth more than this level.

Therefore, it is obvious that e-sports players have a high status in South Korea.

They earn a lot and have a large traffic among young people, so it is understandable that Hanhua is obsessed with Lin Cheng.

"Of course, Hanhua is very sincere, but they are also the team with the lowest probability of winning the championship next year..."

Lin Cheng waved his hand, "Forget it, Sister Shiyan! I don't really want to transfer, why are you still analyzing it for me?"

Xiao Tong touched Enxi's little head and felt a little pity for Hanhua.

This club has been pursuing Lin Cheng for so long as if it were pursuing a goddess, but it didn't win Lin Cheng's favor.

Facts have proved that there is no way out for licking dogs.

"In addition to LCK, there are also several teams in LPL that have made offers to you..."

Speaking of this, Zheng Shiyan paused and seemed to be a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

"In fact, T1 also offered a transfer contract, but I didn't mention it because it was not sincere enough."

Lin Cheng didn't expect T1 to be really interested in him. It was unlikely.

Zheng Shiyan looked at Lin Cheng, "The tentative offer they made when they called me to communicate was 4 billion won. I knew you would never go to T1, so I casually revealed: the lowest offer other teams gave you was 5 billion won."

"Then what?"

Zheng Shiyan wiped Enxi's little head, "Then T1 re-offered 5 billion and 1,000 won."

"Puff!!!"

Xiao Tong was drinking water and couldn't help but spit it out.

Lin Cheng's face was full of black lines.

"Damn! What does Zhao Mashi mean? Insulting people, right?"

He immediately remembered the insulting offer Arsenal made to Suarez that year.

Wenger was interested in Suarez at the beginning, and Arsenal's offer of 35 million pounds for Suarez was rejected immediately by Liverpool. Liverpool said that there would be no deal without 40 million.

This 40 million is just the bottom line for Liverpool to allow Suarez to contact other clubs. In fact, if we really talk about it, it will definitely have to rise.

As a result, Arsenal thought this was Suarez's liquidated damages, so they later quoted £40 million and one to humiliate Liverpool.

This offer not only made Suarez feel hugely insulted, but also triggered the Liverpool boss's classic "What are you doing?" ’

T1 obviously has the same approach to Lin Cheng's 5 billion and 1,000 won.

Lin Cheng also felt humiliated.

Damn it, the minimum denomination of Korean won notes is 1,000. It’s hard to say that T1’s bid was not to humiliate Lin Cheng.

Wait for me, stallholders!

I will give you good fruits to eat next year.

"Hey~~~"

The more Lin Cheng thought about it, the angrier he became and couldn't help but hammer the table.

The little girl Enxi ran over quickly, stood on tiptoes and touched Lin Cheng's head.

"Uncle, don't be angry. Just touch Enxi for you."

The little girl's cute look immediately made everyone laugh.

"There are also several teams in the LPL that have made offers. BLG is very determined to pursue you, but I guess it will be difficult for them to give in in terms of image rights, Taobo..."

"Forget it, forget it!"

Lin Cheng waved his hand, "I won't talk about this anymore. Anyway, I have made up my mind to stay. If the renewal conditions given by KT are not too low..."

Zheng Shiyan smiled and said, "Why do you think KT's conditions for you will be low?"

"Um?"

"Actually, in my opinion, the price KT gave you is the highest."

"real?"

Lin Cheng was stunned. In his opinion, KT's offer could not be too high.

After all, there are still four championship teammates waiting to renew their contracts.

"7 billion! This is KT's official offer to you today, and you still have 100% complete image rights. Of course, you still have to attend some of the club's necessary business activities."

"In addition, special terms regarding the Asian Games are also clearly written in the contract."

Obviously, KT is very sincere.

They directly laid out their bottom line and doubled Lin Cheng's basic salary compared to last year.

The outside world doesn't know how much revenue Lin Cheng's image rights can bring, but KT knows it.

Next year is the year of the Asian Games. If Lin Cheng represents the national team and wins the official competition, his commercial value will only be higher.

It can be said that KT has almost made billions of won in profit from the image rights alone.

Moreover, Lin Cheng was allowed to leave the team early during the Asian Games, which is enough to show KT's determination to keep Lin Cheng even if it gives up a league championship.

It should be said that in order to retain Lin Cheng, KT was the one who had the most bottom line.

But KT won’t suffer any loss.

Previously, many club sponsors had put pressure on the management and made it clear that they would wait until Lin Cheng's contract renewal was completed before discussing next year's sponsorship contract.

It doesn't matter if others don't sign Lin Cheng. Dingtian will lose some potential sponsors, and KT will lose a number of existing sponsors if they lose Lin Cheng.

Management can still see the formality clearly.

But when he saw the conditions offered by KT, Lin Cheng felt a little weak.

How much budget does the club have left?

Mom's! After giving so much to Brother Cheng, you won’t ask me to play 1 against 9 next season, right?
