Chapter 7 pdd: This is a sure thing! (Please read on)

Father Li sat there, seemingly calm, but his slightly trembling fingers betrayed his inner shock. The number He Bin just said kept echoing in his mind - 400,000 a year.

This figure was too shocking for him. He had never thought that a professional gamer could earn such a high annual salary. He was just a warehouse manager at a food company in a small county, and his annual salary was only 60,000...

He would have to go without food or drink for six and a half years to save up four hundred thousand.

“No, can a professional gamer get an annual salary of four hundred thousand?” But he still couldn’t help but ask.

His eyes were fixed on He Bin, expecting a more reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, he would be worried if they asked for four hundred thousand a year. What if it was a pyramid scheme scam?
Mother Li's condition was similar to Father Li's. She opened her eyes wide, her face full of shock.

In her opinion, gaming has always been considered as something that is not a proper occupation, so how could it possibly have such a high pay.

My heart was filled with doubts and worries, wondering whether there were any risks hidden behind this seemingly tempting contract.

According to her profession as a lawyer, it is clear that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

After hearing this, He Bin understood what Mr. and Mrs. Li were worried about.

He leaned forward slightly, placed his hands naturally in front of him, and explained calmly: "Uncle and aunt, the reason why we offer a salary of 400,000 yuan a year is indeed much higher than that of ordinary new players. But this is because we fully recognize Li Yi's strength. In the process of observing his game performance, we found that his operating skills, game awareness and teamwork ability are far superior to many players of the same age, and can even be compared with some experienced professional players."

At this point, he gently raised one hand, spread it slightly, and continued: "So for me, he is indeed worth the price! As long as we can sign him, the profit of 400,000 will definitely not be a loss."

He Bin straightened up, his eyes full of sincerity and determination, and continued, "The reason is actually very simple. Today's e-sports industry has developed very rapidly. Last year, the total value of e-sports exceeded 200 billion."

"This industry is no longer seen as a side job, but an emerging industry full of opportunities and challenges. Various e-sports events are emerging one after another, attracting a large number of viewers and sponsors. The value of players is also constantly increasing with the development of the industry."

As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly, as if depicting the booming e-sports industry.

"We believe that under such a big environment, as long as Li Yi undergoes professional training and development, he will be able to shine brightly on the e-sports stage and bring rich returns to the club. Therefore, we offer such a contract, which is not only a recognition of Li Yi's strength, but also a reflection of our confidence in the future development of the e-sports industry."

Li Yi stood aside, and he really didn't expect He Bin to be so optimistic about him. Listening to He Bin's endless words, he felt a little happy, but he also knew that his words were just empty promises. After all, the road of e-sports is full of uncertainties, and no one can predict what the future will be like.

However, Li Yi did not expect that he would be able to visit his parents again from the Magic City and do ideological work to change their old ideas.

Judging from the sincerity alone, it is indeed much better than pdd.

But for PDD, that was just an invitation for a tryout.

It doesn't necessarily mean you have to sign yourself.

He Bin said that he would sign the contract directly without any trial training.

But this is a bit like getting in through the back door. If you really want to reach a cooperation with him, you still have to have a trial training first to prove that he is not wrong.

The atmosphere of this conversation was very different from the last time. There was a sense of harmony and expectation in the air.

Mr. and Mrs. Li had a very pleasant conversation with He Bin, and the communication between the two sides was frank and in-depth.

They even reached a verbal agreement that after taking a couple of days off, they would come directly to Shanghai to discuss Li Yi's contract.

He Bin seemed very excited about this.

The gains from this trip were too great for him.

Li Yi thought about it and mentioned it.

"I plan to try out at the YM base first, and then come to your team for a tryout."

He Bin showed a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why Li Yi made such a choice.

"The contract we gave you is already the best... and YM is just a team in the secondary league. There is no growth for you. I think players like you should show your talent in the top league instead of helping YM advance to the LPL."

Li Yi explained: "I want more than money to play professionally. I also want to pursue my dream... What if I am not suitable for your team and am always on the bench? It is unacceptable to both you and me."

"Spending 400,000 to buy a substitute player, I guess you must be under a lot of pressure?"

After hearing this, He Bin calmed down completely.

This is absolutely true. Although Zhou Hao gave himself extremely high power, if he spent 400,000 to buy an unsuitable player, he would most likely pack up and leave in the second half of the year.

Li Yi was also pressed on the bench and became a joke.

"So the purpose of the tryout is to find a team that suits me best. If I go to YM for a tryout and I can cooperate well with everyone, I will choose YM even if the annual salary is only 200,000 or 150,000..."

After hearing this, Li's mother wanted to say something, but Li's father pulled her aside and shook his head.

Children have their own plans, so parents should not interfere too much.

He Bin was really surprised. He widened his eyes, full of surprise. However, just a moment later, he was filled with joy. He realized that Li Yi's words just proved that he had a unique vision.

He chose Li Yi from among many other contestants. Now it seems that this decision was absolutely correct. He didn't make a mistake!

He Bin's face lit up with a bright smile, full of satisfaction and pride. He looked at Li Yi and said firmly, "I believe our team is the best for you. When your tryout with YM is over, find me as soon as possible and I'll pick you up for the second round of tryouts. I believe our GT team is definitely the best for you."

Having obtained the news he wanted most, He Bin stopped bothering Li's father and mother and declined their invitation to stay for dinner.

I hurriedly boarded the plane back to Shanghai.

gtThe current situation is really in need of repair.

In today's game at 1pm, they lost to qg 2-0.

If it was the QG team from last year, they would really be impossible to defeat.

It's not shameful to be beaten like this.

But the problem is that this QG team is only at the playoff level, and they are just lucky if they can win a round.

As a result, he was defeated in two rounds without any resistance.

In the first round, four bars and seventeen, it seemed outrageous...

But in the second game, it turned into one bar and twenty-three.

doinb played crazy dragon games in both games.

I cut my record to twenty-one bars, two bars and seven.

The gap in the mid lane was ridiculously large, and the mid laner didn't get a single kill for two consecutive games.

The only kill was taken by Jin Gong in the top lane.

In fact, it was the opposing jungler cild who gave away one when he entered the fountain, otherwise they would have been shut out.

The reason why this kill was given away was that Clid had a very good relationship with GimGoon when he was playing professionally in LSPL.

Being shut out in the first game of the regular season was not a good sign.

So he had to go back quickly, deal with the team, and give them some chicken soup.

In fact, these should be done by the coach, but the club handed it over to him, and he felt a sense of trust. Besides, this is also the professional level that they should have as managers.

……

At the end of February, Li's father and mother used up all their vacation time this year and accompanied Li Yi on the high-speed train to Shanghai.

As soon as he got off the high-speed train, Li Yi's attention was instantly attracted by a figure.

That was undoubtedly PDD, his appearance was too remarkable. His sturdy body was like a small mountain, standing out from the crowd.

On his round face, a pair of small eyes flashed with a unique light, as if they could see through everything. His slightly messy hair, casually draped on his head, added a bit of unruly temperament.

He was wearing colorful clothes, and the loose style highlighted his personality. Standing there, he was like a striking logo, recognizable at a glance. Li Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that PDD's appearance was indeed very recognizable and unforgettable.

When pdd learned that Li Yi's whole family would come, he took it very seriously. He even canceled today's live broadcast and came to pick them up.

With parents making a good impression, maybe we can get the contract today.

There are a lot of people staring at me recently. Aren’t they all targeting Li Yi?

It took only two days to reach the top of the national ranking.

Then in just half a month, I reached the top three in the Korean server.

Obviously, the level displayed is extremely exaggerated.

Some teams that originally had no interest in the team joined in, such as EDG... But they were doing it on a trial basis, after all, the team had young players and the mid laner was a younger player.

Having a potential midfielder coming over is not a lifesaver, it’s just icing on the cake.

I still don't understand why they always get eliminated in the quarterfinals when their lineup is clearly capable of winning the world finals?

After meeting the person, pdd finally breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him very warmly.

"Hello, hello, I am Liu Mou, the boss of YM E-sports, you can also call me PDD."

"Hello, Boss Liu. I am Li Yi's father, Li Li."

PDD smiled and said to Father Li: "Uncle Li, where did you come from? Did you have a smooth journey?"

Father Li responded: "We took the high-speed train from our hometown and everything went smoothly. Boss Liu, now I can see that your e-sports industry should be developing very well."

PDD waved his hand and said, "No, no, I just want to make a living."

Time passed quickly while we were chatting about family matters in the car.

Soon we stopped in an office building, and when we looked up we could see the huge YM logo.

It looks very grand.

"Has the e-sports industry reached this level?" Father Li now began to believe what He Bin told him.

For such a big company, it is quite reasonable to pay 400,000 yuan a year.

"We're here!" PDD got out of the car excitedly and opened the door.

Then he took Li Yi and his family into the base.

As soon as he entered, many staff members started to greet pdd.

As an e-sports player, he has his own business after retirement and is very successful.

After taking the elevator to the third floor, I took him to the office to drink some water and rest for a while before getting down to business.

"We have arranged a tryout for Li Yi at 3:30 p.m. It's still early now. Why don't you come with me to the base cafeteria to have lunch, and then I'll take you to the dormitory to see the environment and take a rest?" PDD asked.

Naturally, this was approved by Li Yi's parents.

When they come to the base, they pay attention to three points. The first is the contract issue. They must not be cheated by these capitals.

Although this fat guy looks silly and seems to be an honest person, you can never judge a person by his appearance. Who knows if he is full of bad intentions?

What if the contract turns out to be a contract to sell yourself, then isn’t your life over?

Although they don't understand e-sports, they understand human hearts.

I was really shocked when I came to the cafeteria.

I don’t know whether they are here to work or to be fattened up.

The good ones are a bit too exaggerated.

The cuisine is very complete, basically you can get whatever you want.

Even Li's mother, who is very picky, gave a thumbs up.

When eating here, you don't have to worry about being hungry or malnourished, as everything is arranged perfectly.

Now they have to worry that Li Yi might eat too well and become a fat man. Then their little handsome boy will be ruined by being fat.

Thinking of that scene, I couldn't help but shake my head.

“Is the food in this cafeteria this good every day?”

"Let's just maintain the normal level in the club. We have 30 YM players and staff, and the meal standard is 20 yuan per person. For example, the IG club charges 50 yuan per person."

The cafeteria is like this, but as a professional player, as long as you play well, you will be arranged to have a big meal in most cases.

Just arrange the hotpot in the villa.

For example, members of the EDG club are regulars there and go there almost once a week.

But this is understandable. After all, they have won all the domestic championships, and their strength is there.

In addition, Boss Hou has no shortage of money, so the treatment is naturally the best among domestic clubs.

Of course, the management is also the strictest in the entire LPL, known as military management, but I don't know if it's true or not...

After lunch, I was taken to the dormitory and saw that the environment was also exaggerated.

Although each person was not assigned a dormitory, the double bed and other facilities were available, and it looked clean and tidy.

"This dormitory is not cleaned every day, but it is arranged once a week."

"Uncle and aunt, you two rest here. I'll take Xiaoyi to the next room to rest. We'll go to the training room around two o'clock for a tryout."

After seeing the reactions of Li Yi's parents, pdd felt that it was a sure thing.

He has passed the test of his parents, now it’s time to test his level to be the best in the country!
