Chapter 764 You All Left, How Can I Leave KT Behind?
It is not so difficult to understand that BLG offered Lin Cheng a contract with an annual salary of 2,500.
The current market situation in LPL is that any domestic player's contract starts at tens of millions. Lin Cheng's 50 million two-year contract is actually about the same price as the price paid by Top Esports to sign Shuizige.
Because many LPL players are traded during the contract period, there are middlemen who make a profit from the price difference, which leads to an inflated price. If a domestic player behaves like a normal person, the price will not be much lower.
And this happens to be Lin Cheng's advantage.
Signing Lin Cheng only requires paying him a salary, and there is no need to pay KT an additional buyout fee.
In fact, when Curse was listed by OMG a few days ago, BLG management also expressed its intention, but it turned out to be wrong.
Damn, with so many companies competing for it, even if the signing fee plus the salary during the contract period is taken, it will be more than 30 million.
If you don't increase the bid to grab Lin Cheng with this money, what's wrong with your brain?
Although Lin Cheng will still occupy the precious foreign aid quota, he does not have communication problems like other Korean aids, and his cost-effectiveness is really high compared to other domestic players.
And many people overlook one point, Lin Cheng's appearance is really outstanding, it is hard to imagine what kind of commercial value he will have if he is put into an environment like LPL.
Of course, in fact, Lin Cheng himself has great commercial value. Because of Lin Cheng's existence, the number of fans of KT's official account on Youtube has far surpassed other LCK clubs, approaching T1 in front.
Lin Cheng did not figure out these details, and was still staring at the email on his mobile phone in a daze.
Is B station really that rich? Shouldn't there be a lot of freeloaders in it?
Freeloaders can also contribute to revenue, so creators should be very happy, right?
Muttering, Lin Cheng shook his head and turned off the email on his mobile phone, while rubbing Enxi's little head.
Enxi was curled up in Lin Cheng's arms watching cartoons, and turned her head to Lin Cheng and smiled foolishly.
It was just after dinner, and the three girls were talking about makeup. Lin Cheng couldn't get in the conversation and could only hold the little girl and continue playing with his phone.
KT fans on the Internet didn't know that Aiming had decided to leave, and they were still leaving messages asking the club to renew the players' contracts.
Fans still firmly believed that the three KT players would renew their contracts, and the keel of the KT giant ship was still there.
The cartoon that Lin Cheng named and praised at the airport was also widely circulated among KT fans, and some KT fans even used photo editing software to add some details.
For example, they added a crown to the lord of Lin Cheng's image. Cheng was King Arthur of KT, and Aiming and Bono were the Knights of the Round Table who were still guarding him.
The blurred city-states in the distance were filled in with their own names by KT fans, symbolizing their identity as KT fans.
Fans left messages one after another, saying that under the protection of the remaining Knights of the Round Table, Lin Cheng would lead KT to continue to dominate LCK and even the world next year.
Looking at the confident and happy appearance of KT fans, Lin Cheng was upset.
If you knew that the Kings had begun to waver, how sad would you be?
"What's wrong? You look bitter and resentful?"
Xiao Tong stuffed half of the peeled orange to Eun Hee, and handed the other half to Lin Cheng.
"Nothing, I just can't bear to leave these fans."
"What? Decided to transfer?"
As soon as Xiao Tong said this, Han Shuyan and Zheng Shiyan, who were talking, turned their heads and looked over.
Only the little girl Eun Hee was still stuffing the orange into her mouth happily.
"No! It's just that another team sent a contract offer directly to me, and I started to waver a little."
Lin Cheng wavered not because of the salary issue, but because he was increasingly uncertain about how firm his position was to stay in KT after his teammates left.
After all, emotions are maintained by familiar people and things.
Xiao Tong was curious, "Is it an LPL team? How much salary will you be offered?"
"50 million, two years."
"So much?"
Xiao Tong explained to Han Shuyan and Zheng Shiyan, "Well~~~50 million RMB is more than 9 billion won."
Han Shuyan was also surprised. Lin Cheng had never disclosed the specific offer he received before.
Zheng Shiyan asked directly, "So you are going back to China?"
The little girl who had been eating oranges happily finally found something wrong and looked up at Lin Cheng in a daze.
"Is uncle leaving?"
Lin Cheng wiped the orange juice from the corner of Enxi's mouth, "Nothing is happening yet..."
Before Lin Cheng finished speaking, the little girl realized that something was wrong and suddenly pursed her lips and burst into tears.
"Uncle! Are you going to abandon Enxi?"
Lin Cheng was speechless. How did the little girl understand it?
Without waiting for Lin Cheng to comfort her, the little girl, who was immersed in sadness, threw herself into Lin Cheng's arms, hugged Lin Cheng and cried, "Uncle, please don't leave Enxi, okay? Enxi will be obedient."
The little girl cried as if she had lost her most beloved toy.
Lin Cheng quickly hugged the little girl and coaxed her softly.
"No, no, Enxi, be good! Uncle won't leave."
Lin Cheng tried to persuade her, but the little girl just cried, and Lin Cheng's heart was broken.
The others also came up to comfort her, and it took Lin Cheng a long time to make the little girl realize that he had not decided to leave.
The little girl, who finally broke free from her sadness, leaned on Lin Cheng's arms, and was still twitching and confirming with Lin Cheng again and again.
"Uncle, you didn't lie to Enxi."
Lin wiped her crying face with a tissue, and the phone rang when he was about to speak.
Lin Cheng made a shushing gesture and answered the phone.
"Wow! Kim Ki-Bum, why do you think of Cheng brother at this time?"
"We may not be teammates next season, Lin Cheng."
Bono's voice was a little low, with a hint of guilt.
Lin Cheng's expression was restrained, "Are you leaving too?"
In fact, compared with Aiming, Bono's chance of staying should be very large, and his value is far less exaggerated than Aiming.
But there is also a problem that must be faced when renewing the contract with the club:
It is difficult for KT to provide a long-term contract for Bono, who is already 24 years old, like clubs in other regions, and the two sides have a big disagreement on the length of the contract.
The jungler is the position most affected by the version, and the version updated in the Korean server 10.23 a few days ago, due to the appearance of mythical equipment, everyone knows that there will definitely be another big turmoil next season.
Bono himself is not very adaptable to the jungle core version this year, and the KT management has no confidence in how he will be next year.
So they offered Bono a one-year contract with a decent salary.
However, a North American club has already expressed its willingness to offer Bono a lucrative three-year contract, so it is hard for Bono not to be tempted.
Unlike Lin Cheng and Aiming, Bono is already 24 years old, and he must consider his final career more carefully.
This contract is enough to ensure that Bono can enjoy his last game time with a high salary before serving in the military.
But he just told Lin Cheng that he would try to renew his contract with KT a while ago, so Bono called with guilt.
After listening, Lin Cheng did not mean to blame his teammates, but just sighed.
"You don't have to apologize, Kim Ki-Bum, you did the right thing."
Bono breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking: "What about you, have you decided where to go?"
"Me..."
Lin Cheng lowered his head and kissed the forehead of the little girl Eun-hee. The little girl tilted her head back and looked at him pitifully with red eyes.
Without rushing to reply, Lin Cheng turned his head and looked to the side.
Xiao Tong was eavesdropping with her ears erect, and when she saw Lin Cheng's gaze, she quickly turned her head away.
Han Shuyan smiled softly at Lin Cheng, as if to say: She supports him no matter what decision he makes.
Zheng Shiyan lowered her eyes, looking as if she had nothing to do with it, but she couldn't help but look over in the end.
Lin Cheng smiled, "Kim Ki-Bum! I have decided, I will stay."
"You all left, how can I leave KT?"
"If we disband after winning the championship, KT will become a joke."
"This is where we left our mark. I know you actually want to stay, but you have to leave for your own reasons."
"Then I will hold on for you."
"KT's fans are still singing my name."
"Besides, there are many people here who are very, very important to me, and I can't bear to leave them."
