Aim for the championship?
Happy's slogan could only be dismissed with a laugh by the pro teams.
If it weren't for Ye Xiu in Happy's team, the other teams would have thought that these guys were dreaming about being the best in the world after unexpectedly beating Excellent Era. But since they had Ye Xiu, they shouldn't be so childish.
"Are you joking?"
"Are you trying to attract attention?"
"Actually, they don't need to do this again and again. They already have a presence."
Every team's words were different, but they were all mocking and ridiculing. Aim for the championship? Most of the teams in the Alliance didn't dare to use this slogan. Happy really had guts!
However, Happy's recent development had been flourishing. After winning Feike's sponsorship deal, Happy won two more sponsorship deals. They were all sponsors who had always been interested in the Glory Alliance. This time, they didn't mind giving a share to Happy. However, similar to Feike, they also had other teams in the Alliance that were sponsoring them. As for Happy, they all had an investment and a wait-and-see attitude.
With three sponsorship deals, Happy had already received close to five million in sponsorship fees. For a grassroots team, this was definitely a strong support. After that, the prize money for the championship of the Challenger League, the broadcast share, the box office share, and other rewards were also received. Because of the attention paid to the Challenger League this time, whether it was the broadcast share or the box office share, it was a large jump compared to the past. The Glory Alliance was quite generous in organizing the competition. The teams received the prize money and the other share of the profits. Many random competitions only gave out a single prize money.
In the Glory Alliance, the champion of the Challenger League received five million in prize money. This amount of money, compared to the influence of the Challenger League, wasn't low. The Alliance clearly considered that the champion would enter the Alliance next season, so this money could be used to support the team. In addition to the prize money and other share of the profits, Team Happy had already earned over ten million from participating in the Challenger League. This made Chen Guo feel the vitality of the Glory Alliance's competitive scene. Of course, this was also because this season's Challenger League was different from the others, so the share of the profits was higher than in previous years.
With more than 10 million in her bank account, Chen Guo felt a lot more at ease. Although Wei Chen had promised to invest the 18 million RMB that they had earned from selling skill points last year in addition to materials, this amount of money was too strong. If they were to really invest it, Chen Guo felt that her title of "Boss" would be too undeserved. Now that the team had accumulated enough money, Chen Guo felt that it was much easier to use this money.
Once the money was received, Chen Guo did not say a word. She immediately took out the five million yuan and distributed it to everyone in Team Happy. Even though Team Happy's players had always been rather indifferent towards this sort of thing, they couldn't just go along with it and not take it seriously. In the past, he didn't have any conditions, so he just muddled along. Now that there was such a great harvest, it was only natural that they should share it together.
The money was distributed in a domineering manner. Luo Ji and An Wenyi were still university students. Suddenly, several hundred thousand was in their hands. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.
As for Ye Xiu, when he received the bank card, he immediately threw it into his drawer, instantly mixing it up with his pile of Glory account cards.
Wei Chen? With 18 million in hand, he was very confident. After receiving several hundred thousand, he just nodded and casually said, "Mm, not bad." Seeing this, Chen Guo wanted to slap him.
Tang Rou smiled and said thank you as she accepted the card. She didn't refuse at all, but Chen Guo knew that she had more right than Wei Chen to not care about these few hundred thousand. However, Chen Guo deeply despised Wei Chen for his sense of propriety. That night, after everyone returned to their rooms to rest, Chen Guo realized that Tang Rou had left the bank card on the table. She was in tears. 123456 was a low-level password. If anyone took this card, they might just take all the money. Miss, you've never been so careless with Han Yanrou's account card!
Baozi, who had a background in managing places, and an Internet cafe at that. One look and you could tell that he was extremely unproductive. The several hundred thousand made him very excited. He was deeply moved that he had finally found a good boss. He had a bright future ahead of him.
Wu Chen and Qiao Yifan, after all, came from professional backgrounds. Wu Chen used to be the leader of a team. Although the team was weak and his income couldn't compare to a God's, a few hundred thousand a year was still relatively easy. Qiao Yifan's income wouldn't be high as a newcomer, but he had mixed in with a rich and powerful family. At least he understood the circle very well. This amount of money didn't surprise him.
When Mo Fan gave it to this guy, Chen Guo hesitated again. Playing less was secondary. Chen Guo's bonus this time was split evenly between everyone. She didn't care about who contributed more and who contributed less. During the initial stages of the team, there were many ways to develop the team. Chen Guo didn't care about this. At the very least, Ye Xiu, who contributed the most, was completely in favor of splitting it evenly. What burden would there be then? On the other hand, Luo Ji and Wu Chen felt that they didn't contribute much in the competition, so they were embarrassed to share it with the others. However, in the end, Chen Guo forced them to accept it. Chen Guo's hesitation towards Mo Fan was because she wasn't sure about this guy. To put it bluntly, it was because they hadn't interacted, so she didn't know what Mo Fan was thinking. She didn't know if he was prepared to follow Happy all the way.
However, after thinking about it again, regardless of the future, Mo Fan had at least made it through this year. Although his contribution was limited, since everyone had it, he wouldn't be left out. Thus, in the end, Mo Fan also received the same amount. After hearing the amount, he revealed a rare expression of astonishment. It seemed like he also came from an unproductive period, and wasn't very rich.
There was another person who was determined not to take the money in the end.
Sun Zheping, the Sun Zheping who had already left Happy. Chen Guo contacted him and said she wanted to transfer the money to his account, but he smiled and said it was fine, and then hung up the phone.
Isn't this too heroic?!
Chen Guo wanted to continue, but in the end, she heard Ye Xiu's advice. "Forget it, he's not the kind of person to change his mind."
Chen Guo held the last card and didn't know what to say. Ye Xiu glanced at her. "Did you forget about your share?"
"Ah?" Chen Guo was startled. She really didn't think about herself, but even if she did, she wouldn't feel like she had to take a share.
"Just treat it as the surplus value, and it belongs to the capitalist," Ye Xiu said.
"Hey hey, who's the capitalist!" Chen Guo didn't want to be labeled as such.
Happy's side received a small dividend, while the Alliance's champions received all sorts of large dividends. The Alliance's champion's prize money was relatively small compared to the Glory Alliance's influence. It was only 10 million, which was double the Challenger League's prize money. Apart from that, there were also bonuses for ranking in the regular season, but the amount was meager. There were 20 teams with a total of 16.8 million. According to the ranking, the first team in the regular season only had a bonus of 1.6 million, while the 20th team only had a pitiful 80,000.
It was clear that the Glory Alliance's development had long since stopped relying on prize money to support the league. 10 million in prize money? This definitely wasn't a reason for any team to fight to the death.
What everyone chased was the highest honor that the trophy symbolized. And what a team relied on to survive was broadcasting fees, sponsorships, tickets, and other types of income. And these income were the most important to the team's influence. As for the most direct way to increase the team's influence, of course, it was to win the championship. Happy's victory in the Challenger League brought in all sorts of income, which was an example of how this system worked.
The smoke of an entire season came to an end with the champion's decision. However, because of this major update, the Alliance was closed for a period of time. Two days after the finals, it was already July. The players of the various teams began their vacation, but the summer transfer window opened. For the managers of the various teams, this was the busiest time.
On Happy's side, the press conference that Feike had wanted to hold but hadn't held yet was finally held, officially announcing the sponsorship of Happy. Although the amount wasn't much, with the attention that Happy was receiving, this was what it meant to spend a small amount of money to do something big. Feike was quite satisfied with this investment. And in this press conference, Happy took the opportunity to announce that Su Mucheng was transferring on a free transfer. This wasn't much of a surprise to the outside world, but following that, Dancing Rain and Su Mucheng were moving to Happy. This was big news.
Dancing Rain was an All-Star character. Happy, a grassroots team, actually had the courage to buy her. It seemed that their goal of becoming champions wasn't just for show, was it?
Su Mucheng was transferring on a free transfer, so she naturally didn't know much about transfer fees. The media paid attention to Dancing Rain's transfer fee. However, in the contract that Tao Xuan signed for Dancing Rain, the transfer fee had to be kept a secret. Tao Xuan clearly didn't want Dancing Rain's abnormal price to affect the sale of Excellent Era. If that happened, everyone would think that Excellent Era was selling at a discount and would come knocking with hundreds of thousands of yuan. Tao Xuan would definitely cry to death.
With Su Mucheng, with Dancing Rain. All of a sudden, Team Happy seemed to have become much more powerful. If you included Ye Xiu, Happy was also a team with two All-Star players! In the entire Alliance, there weren't even half of such teams!
What big move would Happy be making next? On the first day of the transfer window, Happy unexpectedly became the main character. The media all began to make predictions. At this moment, Excellent Era was also a hot topic. The transfer window had finally opened. Excellent Era had quite a few players and characters. After such a long time, if there was anyone who wanted to transfer, they should have pretty much finished their negotiations. Where would they go?
As for the Golden Generation that everyone had been waiting to see, there wasn't much to see on this day. This year was the second year that the Golden Generation's players renewed their contracts, so everyone was paying attention to whether or not any of them would leave their teams. But in the first half of the year, all the teams had announced that apart from Su Mucheng and Xiao Shiqin, the rest of the Golden Generation's players had all renewed their contracts.
Today, Su Mucheng had joined Happy. Then what about Xiao Shiqin? Where would he go? He was also a free player, so he had a lot of options.
In the end, before the media could receive any news about Xiao Shiqin, Excellent Era's first big announcement exploded.
Sun Xiang, One Leaf Of Autumn, transferred to Team Samsara for 28 million.
