Chapter 383: This Contract Is Too Normal

Li Chang and Lin Guangqing nodded, but they didn't leave immediately; they also wanted to hear what else Yao Beiguo had to say.

"The next point is the second one, and it also concerns you."

Yao Beiguo looked at Li Chang and Lin Guangqing and continued.

"First, it's about your arrangements. Although using you to promote the club might seem a bit utilitarian, if you look deeper, once the club's reputation grows, it will also be beneficial for you."

"However, considering the issue of raw skill, you cannot remain active in the professional arena forever. New professional players will inevitably replace you."

"In our plan, after you participate in professional competitions, if you don't achieve good results, we will recruit new players to take your places."

"And these new players won't be poached from other professional teams; they will be purely new recruits."

"So, this leads to the issue of training new players. At that time, veteran professional players will lead one or two new professional players in competitions. This is where you become crucial; you will need to help the new players familiarize themselves with the rhythm, environment, and awareness required for professional matches."

Li Chang nodded slightly as he listened to Yao Beiguo, then voiced the doubt in his heart.

"But it can't always be the veteran-training-newbie model, right? There will come a day when the entire team will be taken over by new players."

"That's right!"

Yao Beiguo looked at Li Chang.

"In the end, the team will definitely be controlled by new players, but you don't need to worry. By then, even though you won't be on the competitive stage, I have arranged a more suitable position for you."

"That position is club coach."

"You have years of competitive experience, and you have very accurate judgments regarding the game and the situation on the field. Therefore, I can be very confident in having you take on the role of coach."

By using retired professional players to promote the club's reputation, and then slowly having experienced veteran professional players lead new ones, the transition from old to new will be completed bit by bit.

And the replaced veteran professional players can slowly move behind the scenes and become club coaches.

"How about it? Can you accept this decision?"

After Yao Beiguo finished speaking, his gaze fell on Li Chang and Lin Guangqing.

"General Manager Yao, we can accept it."

Upon hearing this, Li Chang and Lin Guangqing didn't think too much and nodded in agreement immediately.

If the matter of promoting the club was using them, it made them feel a bit uncomfortable.

But the club didn't abandon them after the promotion; clearly, the club values them highly.

Whether it was training new players or becoming club coaches, it provided them with a backup plan.

Before coming to the club, they had always been in a state of confusion, worrying about what they would do once their gaming traffic died down.

But at this moment, this BL Club had given them a very good way out.

If they didn't accept this, they would be fools.

"In that case, let's have a happy cooperation."

Yao Beiguo smiled and stood up, then took two contracts from his desk and handed them to Li Chang and Lin Guangqing.

"These are the signing contracts. You can take a careful look; if there are no issues, you can sign them. Of course, if you haven't made a decision yet and want to consider it for a few more days, that is also fine."

As Yao Beiguo spoke, he handed the two contracts in his hand to Li Chang and Lin Guangqing respectively.

Lin Guangqing and Li Chang took the contracts and immediately began to look through them.

A while later, the two closed the contracts, feeling very surprised.

Many gaming clubs make a big deal out of professional player contracts.

Some have astronomical breach-of-contract penalties, and some exploit various future incomes, such as live streaming signing fees or advertising fees, etc.

They had suffered deeply from this, so they had always been very cautious regarding contracts.

Just now, they had carefully reviewed all the contents of the contract.

In the end, however, they discovered that all the things they were worried about were absent.

There were no astronomical breach-of-contract penalties; no, one could say there were no breach-of-contract penalties at all.

And those revenue splits were clearly written in the contract, so there wouldn't be any disagreements in the future.

This contract could be said to be too normal.

It was so normal that it didn't even seem like a contract between a gaming club and a player.

"What's wrong? Is there an issue with the contract?"

Yao Beiguo looked at the two and smiled as he spoke.

"General Manager Yao, does our contract really have no breach-of-contract penalty?"

Li Chang still couldn't help but ask; this was the first time he had heard of a contract without breach-of-contract penalties in the gaming circle.

"That's right. All of our club's contracts have no breach-of-contract penalties. If one day you feel unhappy staying in this club, or feel that there is no future here, you can leave at any time; we will not impose any restrictions."

"Of course, if you really want to break the contract, you still have to go through the normal procedures."

Yao Beiguo said calmly.

Regarding the matter of the breach-of-contract penalty, it was not his decision at all, nor was it Tao Ze's decision.

It was General Manager Chen's decision.

General Manager Chen stated that astronomical breach-of-contract penalties undoubtedly limited the development of the domestic gaming industry.

Why is it that for so many years, our domestic gaming teams have found it difficult to achieve results on the international stage?

Most of the reason is because of contract restrictions.

Originally, it was entirely possible to assemble some outstanding players into one team, but because of those contract restrictions, those professional players couldn't be gathered together.

This led to domestic gaming teams always being mediocre in terms of strength.

Every team would have some outstanding skilled players, but also some weak points.

This resulted in it being very difficult for any top-tier teams to emerge.

Regarding these matters, as someone who had served as a manager for several gaming clubs, he was very clear about them.

But no club would make changes to this, because once they gave up those astronomical breach-of-contract penalty contracts, or other types of contracts, they were giving up their own interests.

But what made him admire General Manager Chen was that he had actually made such a decision.

Yao Beiguo sighed in his heart; General Manager Chen undoubtedly wanted to change the domestic gaming market with his own strength.

Thinking about it, he was truly looking forward to it.

Since General Manager Chen had this expectation, as the club manager, he naturally had to contribute his part.

"Alright, then let's sign the contract right now."

The matter of the contract was confirmed.

Li Chang and Lin Guangqing no longer had any concerns, and in their hearts, they began to have some expectations about joining the gaming club.

If they could train a batch of formidable new players and then win a championship in the professional arena…

That also seemed like a very fulfilling thing.
