Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 178 Fulfill the promise!
Compared to Liu's excited and somewhat hoarse voice, Zhou Dongsheng's reaction was relatively calm. After all, he only got a place in the LPL team.
It is just the first step in completing the layout of LPL's first world championship. Even if you step onto the LPL stage, there is still a long road of leveling up to go.
After all, the strength of the A-League and the LPL League is completely different. However, there are at least three players in the team who have the potential to become main players, and two of them are future members of the first championship team.
However, this championship puzzle lineup is still missing two key pieces, and one of the pieces... is in the hands of Principal Wang in front of him, so there is no rush for this piece.
But another Korean boy who is also extremely talented could find an opportunity to continue to intercept. After all, he has already intercepted two people, so it is only natural for him to intercept again.
Principal Wang in front of him naturally didn't know that Zhou Dongsheng in front of him was already planning how to snatch away his club's first future world championship.
He also congratulated Zhou Dongsheng with a smile on his face: "Wow, your club made it to the LPL? Congratulations!"
Zhou Dongsheng had no qualms at all, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's just that I got the ticket. Maybe I will be dropped in the summer season. Otherwise, can the principal support me with a main player?"
Principal Wang naturally didn't know Zhou Dongsheng was setting a trap, but instead said generously: "Why? Which player on my team do you like? Just ask!"
"I heard that your mid laner is a bonus. Why don't you give him to me? The team happens to be in need of an experienced veteran. I can let him lead the team to level up."
"Well, I'll ask the club's leader later. We've just entered the playoffs, so let's wait until the transfer period." Principal Wang did not agree immediately.
Zhou Dongsheng is not in a hurry. Even if he knows the script in advance, the best case scenario is that it will not be realized until 2018.
After all, there is a new god in each version, and every world champion is the undisputed strongest in the world in that version. As for the battle between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong, there has been endless debate from ancient times to the present.
However, this kind of topic itself is also a great pleasure of competitive sports.
After all, there are eighteen-year-old geniuses emerging every year, and only the championship trophy is the most valuable.
"I have almost finished everything I did in Shanghai, and it's time for me to go back to Guangzhou. But before I leave, I'll go and reward these young people." Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject.
"Okay, you have completed a large investment quietly. I'm looking forward to the future of this investment." Principal Wang raised his glass with a smile.
"I just did it by accident, but Principal Wang, your live streaming platform is even more exciting. I'm waiting for your platform to be launched and bring different changes to the entire live streaming industry." Zhou Dongsheng is also a man who is being carried by others.
The two men smiled at each other and raised their glasses together, but one was raising a wine glass and the other was raising a teacup.
…
The venue for the League of Legends A League is right in Shanghai. The top two teams in the playoffs will get tickets to the next level league, LPL.
The third, fourth and fifth teams can play a relegation match with the last-ranked team in the previous league. The winner will advance to LPL and the loser will return to the first-tier league.
However, there is a huge gap in the strength of the teams between the two major leagues. In the few years when the promotion and relegation mechanism existed, only a few teams were able to successfully advance.
A few years later, when the league entered the commercialization process, in order to protect the interests of e-sports clubs and allow capital to invest with greater confidence, the promotion and relegation system was cancelled, and even the distinction between home and away games was introduced.
This mature business system is similar to the NBA Business League.
Zhou Dongsheng did not expect that his unintentional efforts would bear fruit. The team that changed its name to IM actually broke Liu's exclusive bond [YM Curse] and successfully advanced to the LPL league.
At present, the price of a place in the LPL league may not be sky-high, but as the e-sports industry improves and a massive audience gradually improves, in the near future, the entry threshold of the LPL will easily exceed nine figures.
By that time, most teams can be called wealthy clubs, and e-sports will no longer be a self-entertainment for internet-addicted teenagers, but an emerging industry recognized by the market.
However, at present, e-sports is just the rising sun, and how to describe Principal Wang’s influence in the e-sports industry is perhaps to be like the rooster that crows up the sun.
After parting with Principal Wang, Zhou Dongsheng took Li Jiana and drove to the hotel where the IM team was temporarily staying.
As the big boss behind the scenes, he personally showed up to reward these young people and fulfilled the rewards he promised, which must be the best reward for these young people.
When thinking about the reward he had promised, Zhou Dongsheng had an idea. How could cold numbers be as attractive as real money?
It’s just that it’s a bit troublesome to withdraw large amounts of cash without an appointment. But in this small piece of land in Shanghai, it’s not a problem for Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, we are people with connections.
…
Li Jiana drove the car and slowly stopped in front of a hotel. Liu was already waiting at the door. When he saw the familiar Rolls-Royce slowly approaching, he wondered if this was Principal Wang's car.
After all, Principal Wang has countless cars, so the car he lends to Zhou Dongsheng for transportation may as well be given to him as long as he can and just be returned before Zhou Dongsheng leaves.
Zhou Dongsheng got out of the passenger seat and looked around the lower-class hotel. "Is the team staying here?"
Liu chuckled, "It's good to have a hotel to stay in. The conditions are much better than what we had before!"
"It's okay , things will get better and better. Now that we have advanced to LPL, we have to stay in Shanghai and find a better place to set up our club." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
"Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission and lived up to the boss's expectations. These kids are really hardworking." Liu said with a smile.
"I know, so I'm here to reward them. There are two suitcases in the trunk, it's a bit heavy if you help carry them." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
A black suitcase weighs nearly 10 kilograms, and two of them are equivalent to two large bags of rice. The heavy weight is particularly thick, and Liu finds it difficult to carry one in each hand.
"Boss, what is this? It's so heavy?" Liu asked with a little curiosity.
"You'll know soon." Zhou Dongsheng smiled mysteriously.
Li Jiana on the side covered her mouth and smiled, her beautiful eyes moving around as she glanced at Zhou Dongsheng. Her boss was quite interesting. He actually chose such a simple and crude way of rewarding with cash.
Isn't this a common practice among the nouveau riche in the 1990s to carry money in sacks?
However, although both are one million, the visual conflicts brought by seven digits and one hundred bundles of banknotes are completely different.
20 kilograms of rice is heavy enough for an average adult, but 20 kilograms of millions of dollars, I think most people can carry a few more bags...
After all, people's physiques cannot be generalized. In a state of extreme excitement...
Soon, Zhou Dongsheng and the other two arrived at the IM team's room. Liu had already informed them of the boss's arrival, so they also gathered in one room.
Zhou Dongsheng walked into the room first. Five teenagers with a slightly Shamatte look looked up at him, with restrained expressions and not good at speaking.
As adults, the team leader and coach were more sensible. When they saw Liu standing behind Zhou Dongsheng, they knew Zhou Dongsheng's identity. Although he looked as young as the players, they still shouted decisively: "Hello, boss, welcome to come and inspect our work!"
"Hello, boss." The contestants shouted timidly, looking curiously at the young boss who looked about the same age as themselves.
"You're welcome. We're all family. Everyone . I've made some promises to everyone before, and I came here to fulfill them for you."
"Mr. Liu, put the suitcase on the table and open it." Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand and said with a smile.
When 1.4 million in cash was placed on the table, one could clearly feel the air in the room warming up, and there was the sound of people swallowing saliva.
