Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 235: Add a Bonus
It directly doubled the amount of Curly-Haired Baboon. After all, compared to Curly-Haired Baboon, who has just become the new leader of the Shark platform, Liu is the undisputed leader of Tiger Tooth and is very popular.
Although it is not known how much money Principal Wang spent to recruit Dazhi, Liu's current popularity is enough to rival Dazhi, or even surpass it.
What's more, this is a transaction mixed with emotional elements. Whether it is the old relationship between Zhou Dongsheng and Principal Wang, or Principal Wang and Liu, it can add value to the transaction.
"You kid, are you trying to get ahead of me? I've already given you such a generous price, and you still have demands? Tell me about it." Principal Wang scolded with a smile, but he was not angry.
"Hehe, it's really just a small request. My club is in need of a veteran player. Can you give me one? Just the Korean mid laner. It just so happens that there is a new Korean player in my team. He is unfamiliar with , so it's just right for the veteran to guide the new player to eliminate the gap and make it more convenient for us to communicate with each other!"
All in all, Zhou Dongsheng has his eyes on this last piece of the championship puzzle, and it can even be said to be the most important piece.
After all, the player rookie is not only a piece of the championship puzzle, but also a cornerstone of team building.
His personal ability is extremely outstanding and he is unique in the entire LPL region. He is known as the Chicken Master and his career is an evergreen.
He grew up from a foreign player to a local player in the LPL region.
Most importantly, when he was crying with joy after winning the first LPL championship, he still insisted on using Chinese to express his gratitude when he was interviewed in his hometown of Goryeo, which is truly rare.
This extremely charming star player was reportedly a bonus when IG introduced another Korean player. Unexpectedly, they accidentally dug up a treasure.
After all, the IG club has a card-drawing identity. He has always been good at drawing cards and managed to put together a lineup that won the first LPL championship.
With such a useful lineup, Zhou Dongsheng directly chose to get it for free, and he has to say: Thank you, Su Xiaoluo.
Upon hearing Zhou Dongsheng's "little request", Principal Wang was also surprised. "Oh, it seems that you really care about this club. I thought you were just playing around."
"I remember you mentioned it last time, but I forgot about it. But since you've asked me so much, I'll agree to it with reluctance."
"But he is the main midfielder of our club, don't even think about saving on the transfer fee."
Principal Wang thought about it. Although he cared a lot about the IG club and the player rookie had always performed well.
However, as one of the two foreign players introduced, his importance in Principal Wang's mind is not that important.
In addition, Zhou Dongsheng repeatedly requested to have a "veteran" in charge of his team. This showed his great enthusiasm for running the e-sports club, which was the main reason why Principal Wang agreed.
After all, happiness is shared with others, and apart from being keen on playing internet celebrities, e-sports has always been one of Principal Wang’s favorite “games”.
It's rare to have friends who are willing to play together. As a veteran player, isn't it reasonable for me to support a veteran player and help him quickly build the basics of the game?
After all, it’s more fun to play the game with a companion. Although I already have quite a few friends in the circle, the more friends we have, the more fun it will be.
"Then let's make a deal. I've already recorded it and you can't go back on your word. Don't be unwilling to give it to me just because we make it to the World Championship this year!" Zhou Dongsheng gave Principal Wang a heads-up in advance.
Principal Wang smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "When have I ever broken my promise? Isn't it normal to make it to the World Championship?"
After all, IG is a veteran e-sports powerhouse that has already had experience in world championships. Principal Wang has long been accustomed to this. In his opinion, only winning the championship is worth mentioning.
"Hehe, then I'll come back to ask you for the player after the transfer period starts." Zhou Dongsheng was in a good mood as the most important piece of the championship puzzle fell into his pocket.
Although this first championship still requires a "Three-Year Plan" to achieve slowly, the earlier the team is formed, the earlier they can start to run in. If the players get to know each other for a long time, won't the chemical reaction come?
As for the support players...are they important? Even the famous first-time FMVP jungler Gao Zhenning once said: You can win even if you tie a dog to the jungle.
We already have the trident and the halberd. If we replace it with a support that adds icing on the cake and choose a more luxurious Asian Games support, will we miss the championship?
If the butterfly effect is really so subtle, then Zhou Dongsheng would have nothing to say. After all, even the team has been changed, and the butterfly effect can no longer be changed. Just let it be.
"You kid, but the stock market has been very strong recently. Didn't you say before that 5,000 points was a hurdle? Now that it has been crossed, what do you think of the future market?"
Principal Wang shook his head and casually started chatting about the stock market, just as a topic for after-dinner tea.
In fact, the stock market, which has reached a peak of 5,000 points, has already become a hot topic on the streets, and it just happened to be the weekend.
Whether online or offline, the enthusiasm for discussion is unprecedentedly high, and some people have even blindly clamored that 5,000 points is just the beginning and a return to 6,000 points is just around the corner!
6124 points, the highest point in the history of A-shares, can be traced back to 8 years ago. History is always surprisingly similar, as if everything is like a cycle.
Zhou Dongsheng shook his head. "My assessment is that the grasshoppers in autumn can't jump for too long. I have always been a man of action. Going short is also my personal choice. As for the rest, I will leave it to time to prove it."
In this epic market trend in 2015, Zhou Dongsheng has already made enough money, and took this opportunity to create an image of an investment genius in the minds of people like Principal Wang.
At this last moment, Zhou Dongsheng also gave his final advice. As for whether to believe it or not, it was none of his business. Anyway, no matter how much they lost, it would not kill these young masters.
Moreover, after learning a profound lesson with money, they might even look at Zhou Dongsheng with a new respect. After all, people are like this. They will remember the lessons they have learned .
"You've always been very accurate in your predictions. Let's wait and see after the market opens this week." Principal Wang said without denying it.
After the meal, Zhou Dongsheng gained a lot from the conversation.
Having said that, the player rookie was treated as a bonus and was introduced to the IG club together with another Korean player.
Today, Principal Wang paid a huge sum of money to win back his former subordinate Liu, a top anchor, and rookie once again became an extra.
However, once the money is in Zhou Dongsheng's pocket, there will be no change for at least three years.
By then, when the three-year period is up, with the complete trident in hand, wouldn’t the championship be within reach?
Before the big brother took office, Zhou Dongsheng did not have high expectations for the young guys in the IM Club. It was enough for them to avoid relegation.
Of course, there is also the most important coaching team behind the scenes. The role of a championship coach is also quite important, just like in SKT's three-crown dynasty, coach Kkoma also made an indelible contribution.
In a sense, coaches and players are also typical examples of mutual achievement, and neither is indispensable.
Of course, there is no need to rush about coaching matters right now. All we need to do now is to slowly work things out and build up tacit understanding among the players.
In short, just develop slowly and don't waste time.
