Yuan Shen thought that as the soul of EDG, the factory manager is now also considered as the management of EDG. He can represent the opinions of EDG to a certain extent.

The factory manager sent a private message to Yuan Shen, asking for a contact method.

Yuan Shen sent him a contact number.

Soon, Yuan Shen received a friend request and accepted it.

"Hello, Yuan Shen."

"Hello."

Yuan Shen began to communicate with the factory manager on the phone.

The factory manager got straight to the point: "Would you consider IG now and go to other clubs? For example, our EDG."

Yuan Shen responded: "Don't we have you in EDG? Why, don't you want to play anymore? Can't you fight anymore?"

The factory manager responded: "With your ability, it doesn't matter what position you play. You can still play well, right?"

Yuan Shen understood that if he went to EDG, he might not necessarily play as a jungler.

He has played top lane before and won the S championship. He has also been a champion in the jungle position in the past two years.

From this perspective, if you can play in the lane and jungle, then can you play in the mid lane?

"I haven't thought about it so much yet." Yuan Shen responded.

However, in the factory manager's opinion, this response was not simple.

Since Yuan Shen did not directly reject the proposal to join other teams, it means that this possibility exists!
"Well, I can understand that. After all, it's embarrassing to win the championship."

"If you have thought it over and have any ideas, you can contact us at any time. We EDG can give you the conditions and treatment that IG gives." The factory manager reminded.

Yuan Shen looked at the screen and found that the comments in the live broadcast room were all:

"It's over! EDG must have taken action, where are the IG guys! Do something!"

"What the hell are you doing? EDG is robbing us."

"EDG is indeed still intent on stealing."

"Is it possible that IG cannot beat EDG?"

Yuan Shen continued the live broadcast, and suddenly, another big shot came in!
RNG, White Star!
Bai Xing is the boss of RNG.

"Thank you White Star for the two hundred super rockets."

one million!

Yuan Shen was surprised that he started with one million.

The live broadcast room was filled with barrages:

"What the hell, what are you doing? Isn't money money?"

"Do you understand what a display of strength means? This is a display of strength!"

"Don't you understand the commercial value of Yuan Shen? One million is nothing?"

"It's just one million. Yuan Shen can help RNG earn it back in a few hours. Do you believe it?"

Bai Xing did the same, he chatted privately with Yuan Shen and asked for his contact information.

After adding him as a friend, Bai Xing sent a message: "Brother, would you consider coming to our RNG to play games?"

Yuan Shen responded: "Doesn't RNG have spicy hotpot now?"

Bai Xing: "We are considering finding a new jungler. Spicy Hotpot is excellent, but not excellent enough."

Yuan Shen suddenly remembered that there was a rumor before that Mala Xiangguo’s contract was blocked by RNG.

He will have to play for RNG for at least two more years, and now the boss of RNG has started looking for someone to replace Mala Xiangguo.

So, won’t Mala Xiangguo have any competitions in the next two years?

"Forget it, I have no plans to go to RNG." Yuan Shen chose to refuse directly, which would be good for everyone.

He also doesn't want to be blocked in his contract by RNG, and it's also a good thing for Mala Xiangguo.

Of course, RNG will most likely look elsewhere, which is beyond Yuan Shen’s control.

Yuan Shen refused so decisively that Bai Xing seemed to understand. He did not choose to argue with Yuan Shen and stopped talking.

Yuan Shen continued the live broadcast: "Thank you all for the gifts, thank you."

However, the audience in the live broadcast room is now feeling uneasy.

"If RNG also gets involved, IG will be in danger!"

"Where is Principal Wang? Call Principal Wang over!"

"Principal Wang is probably still sleeping."

"Oh, it really made us worry."

A moment later, another uninvited guest came into the live broadcast room.

Topsports.

"Thanks to Topsports for sending 200 super rockets."

But this time everyone felt very strange:
"Top Sports? Isn't this Top Sports' sponsor?"

"Are you here to poach people? You must be a person of some ability."

"Since you're here to give us money, we welcome you. Hahaha."

"Can IG hold on? The pressure is so great right now."

This time, Top Sports chose to chat privately with Yuan Shen, and Yuan Shen accepted the friend request.

After passing, the other party came straight to the point: "Master Yuan, I've heard of your great name for a long time. We are still missing someone like you in our championship map of Top Esports. As long as you join, we can give you better conditions than IG."

Yuan Shen must not be surprised. Top Esports is a strong company with abundant financial resources and is willing to pay.

Moreover, the problem of Top Esports at the moment is that the players are very talented but too young and inexperienced. At the same time, the jungler is a bit lacking. The double C is more powerful. If he can be brought over, many of Top Esports' problems can be solved.

Top Sports continued; "Our goal is to win the S-League championship. Don't worry about that. We will not interrupt your championship streak. In order to achieve this goal, we are willing to pay any price."

Their goal is to win the S-League championship, which means they need a very solid lineup, which means spending a lot of money.

The fact that the other party directly said all these things only proves that they have strong capital and are not short of money, but they lack methods to achieve their goals.

Yuan Shen responded: "I need to take a closer look. I haven't thought about it that much yet."

Top Sports: "We are in extensive contact with LPL players. Basically, we will contact any player whose contract has expired. Of course, we will also contact some outstanding players whose contracts have not expired. We can help pay the liquidated damages when the time comes."

Seeing this, Yuan Shen probably understood that this was a strategy of casting a wide net.

This proves that Top Esports is sincere and willing to spend money and effort.

Yuan Shen really hasn’t thought about next year yet, so it’s too hasty for him to decide whether to stay or leave now.

At least we have to talk to Principal Wang and see what he means.

.

Now that IG has won three consecutive championships, there is indeed a possibility that Principal Wang feels that it is meaningless to continue increasing investment and does not want to continue investing. This is also possible.

In short, you will know after the discussion; it is too early to make a decision now.

Top Sports continued to respond: "If you have any ideas, you can contact me at any time and I will reply as soon as possible."

Then, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room changed:
"Damn it, they seem to be really talking."

"Principal Wang is probably going to faint in the toilet from crying."

"It's not a big deal. I don't think Yuan Shen is such a heartless person."

"This isn't a relationship issue, people should be more realistic and not be PUA-ed. You should get what you deserve." Yuan Shen took a look at the trending searches, and there was indeed one:
#It was revealed that Top Esports is in contact with Yuan Shen.

I feel like they posted it at this time on purpose, just to attract attention and make it easier to recruit the players they want. Even if they can't succeed here, it will help recruit others.

The competition was fierce. Yuan Shen went to take a look at other people’s live broadcast rooms and found that most IG members were broadcasting live while looking at their phones. Moreover, Yuan Shen also saw many familiar faces.

RNG and Bai Xing went to Theshy’s live broadcast room and gave him a lot of gifts.

I guess RNG also wants a super top laner.

Top lane is indeed a weakness of RNG, and we need to find a way to plug it.

In Smlz’s live broadcast room, Yuan Shen saw the figure of the factory manager.

EDG wants Smlz to play bottom lane? Currently EDG's bottom lane is Zet.

This person's abilities in all aspects are indeed a little bit worse.

EDG's mid, jungle and support are all pretty good now. If the ADC position can be strengthened, then there is indeed a chance.

Yuan Shen ran to Rookie's live broadcast room and took a look. He found that there were many familiar people in Rookie's room. Top Sports and WE Smile were also in it. It seemed that they were all here to poach people.

Not only that, Yuan Shen also saw LCK clubs! KT, AFS!

They seem to be eager to recruit talents and have gone to LPL to poach players. Of course, they will only choose Korean players who have played in LCK, and Yuan Shen is not their target.

The reason is not complicated, it is just a matter of self-esteem. To ordinary people, this kind of thing is difficult to understand. Just because of self-esteem, will you give up the possibility of winning the championship?

However, according to the logic of LCK, self-esteem is more important than anything else. They would rather not win the championship than hire foreign players, especially those from LPL.

The live broadcast lasted until the early morning, and Yuan Shen went offline to take a break.

Although fans were reluctant to let him go, Yuan Shen really didn't want to stay up late and just wanted to rest early.

After the live broadcast, I took a look at the backstage data. I received more than 7 million gifts tonight!

All I can say is that today's bosses are really rich. They spend hundreds of millions or even millions just to talk to Yuan Shen.

Of course, only half of them belong to Yuan Shen.

After the live broadcast, Yuan Shen went to rest directly.

The next day, the IG team boarded a plane back to Shanghai and headed straight to the training base.

When he came to the training room, Yuan Shen felt so familiar. He hadn't been back for a long time and even missed it a little.

The S game lasts for a month. Except during the S game, we usually won’t be away from the training base for such a long time.

Everyone was playing with their phones in the training room when the door opened. Principal Wang walked in and greeted them:

"Everyone is here. Let's talk about the contract renewal today. Master Yuan, you go first."

So Yuan Shen followed Principal Wang to the office.

"Sit down." Principal Wang called him, and Yuan Shen sat on the sofa. Principal Wang said:

"Thank you for your hard work in this S game. Without you, our IG would have been in great danger."

Yuan Shen responded: "It's just my job. This is the credit of the five of us. The support and help from the team is very important to me, otherwise I wouldn't have won the championship."

Principal Wang smiled and said, "He is so capable yet he remains humble. You are worthy of being called Master Yuan."

"I have a plan. Your current salary is already quite high. If you continue to increase it, you will have to pay a lot of luxury tax. I don't think you need that much, right? So I plan to increase the 10% equity incentive I gave you to 20%. What do you think?"

Principal Wang was so straightforward that it was beyond Yuan Shen's imagination. Now IG has strong profitability due to three consecutive championships. A 20% dividend is also a lot of money, which is probably much higher than his current salary.

The current salary of top LPL players is around 10 million. Now Yuan Shen’s salary is estimated to be 30 million including equity incentives.

Looking around the world, the e-sports industry is also booming.

This is no longer limited to League of Legends, but the entire e-sports industry.

"Are there any additional conditions?" Yuan Shen asked.

"Of course not, there are no additional conditions. I just want you to play the game in IG without any interference from the outside world."

Yuan Shen understood that Principal Wang was going all in and had to deal with all potential competitors, otherwise there was a possibility of any accidents happening.

"If there's no problem, I'll have them prepare the contract later, and you'll just have to sign it then."

Yuan Shen nodded: "No problem."

Principal Wang said, "Okay, happy cooperation!"

Yuan Shen responded: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

The two men stood up and shook hands.

Principal Wang reminded him, "When you go back, call Theshy over and let him see me."

Yuan Shen left the office and returned to the lounge, saying, "Theshy, Principal Wang is calling you."

Theshy went to the office.

As soon as Yuan Shen sat down, Prince Ning came over and asked, "Shen Yuan, how about it, did you enjoy chatting with Principal Wang?"

Yuan Shen responded: "It's okay, it's just a normal conversation, nothing to be happy or unhappy about."

King Ning was relieved: "Then I understand. Next year we will continue to grow bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"

Hearing this, Rookie laughed: "Ning Wang, you are quite ambitious. I feel that if you have money, you can start your own club and become the boss, and make it bigger and stronger."

Prince Ning laughed: "I want to be my own boss? Forget it, I'm not that cut out for it."

Baolan complained: "Do you think there is any part of him that is suitable for being a boss?"

"Hey! Princess Lan, this is none of your business, why are you telling me what to do?" King Ning was unhappy.

After a while, Theshy came back with a relaxed expression and seemed to be fine.

Theshy called out, "Rookie, the boss wants you to come over."

So Rookie got up and left the training room. Smlz and Baolan were both very nervous.

Especially Smlz, he felt like a student waiting for the exam to start.

Rookie came back with a smile on his face, and seemed satisfied with the result.

No one else asked further questions. Generally speaking, the players' salaries and benefits are kept confidential and cannot be disclosed to each other.

This is also done to avoid affecting the mentality of the players. Knowing that their teammates' salaries are several times or even dozens of times their own, their mentality can easily be affected.

"Baolan, the boss wants you to go." Rookie greeted.

So Baolan left.

After Baolan comes back, it’s Smlz.

Ning Wang teased, "Princess Lan, has your boss deducted your salary? You've been giving away so much in the bottom lane, so it must be quite a lot."

Baolan rolled his eyes at Ning Wang: "It's about right to deduct your salary. The midfield, top and jungle are one and the same. The midfield and top are so good, and you can still have a negative record. It's unimaginable."

After a while, Smlz came back. Unlike the other men, Smlz was in a low mood.

Yuan Shen was not surprised, because Principal Wang was a ruthless businessman.

Don't be fooled by his smiling face. He will definitely have a good attitude in front of those players who are very important to him and irreplaceable. But if he thinks that someone is not contributing enough to the team, or even making a negative contribution, then he will feel bad.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the person will be fired directly.

"Ning Wang, the boss wants you to go." Smlz looked at Ning Wang.

"Okay, it's my turn now, right? Hahaha." You rub your hands excitedly, as if you can't wait.

However, when Prince Ning came back, he had a completely different expression on his face. He was so depressed that he became autistic. The contrast between the two was too great!

Seeing the state of Ning Wang, Baolan laughed mercilessly: "Haha, Ning Mazi must have been criticized. I didn't know you were going to be criticized. Who made you so high-profile and your strength is not good enough?" (End of this chapter)
