Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

also become famous for sure.

Then, it would be too late to turn back!

So, to Pei Qian, Huang Wang was the root of the problem in DGE.
The H4 Club was doing him a huge favor by offering to buy Huang Wang over!

If Huang Wang got more and more popular after being transferred to the H4 Club, it would be their problem.
Of course, Pei Qian could not go so far as to say that it would have nothing to do with DGE, but at least he wouldn’t drag DGE down with him.

What’s more, Huang Wang probably wouldn’t have any objections.
He could not take part in official competitions by remaining with the DGE Club.

Pei Qian could not turn down the transfer of membership fees even though he didn’t want it.
If he offered to give his contracted team members away to other clubs for absolutely nothing, he would be breaking the System’s regulations.
The System would not allow it.

However, the System would not interfere in negotiations between two parties and whether they decided on a higher or lower price.

So, Pei Qian decided to use his traditional strength—reverse bargaining!

He would allow the other party to name a price first.
Then, he would mention Huang Wang’s flaws and allow the other party to lower their offer.
He would only accept the offer once the other party reached the minimum.

In short, he would try to earn as little as possible!

Pei Qian, Zhang Yuan, and Team Leader Su arrived in the conference room, ready to commence negotiations.

Seeing how passionate Boss Pei was, Team Leader Su could not help but feel moved.
He decided to cut straight to the chase and tell Pei Qian how much the H4 Club was willing to offer for a start as a display of his own sincerity.

If Boss Pei had any questions about the figure, he could slowly raise the price later.

Team Leader Su took a sip of his tea and said, “Boss Pei, I’ve already spoken to Manager Zhang about many issues yesterday.
Let’s just cut to the chase today.

“The H4 Club is really lacking a good midlaner so you could say that we are quite desperate! Our club really appreciates Huang Wang, and we’re willing to offer 1.5 million yuan to transfer his membership.

“We’ll also give Huang Wang eight hundred thousand yuan for signing on and eight hundred thousand yuan a year as remuneration.
We hope that sounds acceptable to you, Boss Pei!”

Pei Qian’s teacup lingered at his lips.
He was stunned.

That much? That figure was much more than Pei Qian had expected.

As Pei Qian recalled, there were esports athletes who earned sky-high sign-on fees that went into eight digits.
However, that was only after they had remained in the career for six to seven years.
Huang Wang was still a beginner, but they were already offering him so much money.

Based on his memory, when LOL entered season two, the local esports clubs were only giving their members petty allowance.
Each team member received a mere few thousand yuan per month, and that was already considered much more generous than other clubs.

Now, H4 was offering 1.5 million yuan as transfer fees, eight hundred thousand yuan as sign-on fees, and eight hundred thousand yuan in remuneration each year?

Were they trying to mess with Pei Qian?

Pei Qian did some quick calculations in his head.
The 1.5 million yuan would go straight to the club.
If he sold each member for that amount, he would be able to earn 15 million yuan for the entire team, wouldn’t he?

It was ridiculous!

Most importantly, ever since the DGE Club was formed, it had not paid a single cent!

The villa was being rented by Boss Li at a friend’s price, the computers had been provided by ROF, meals were being provided by Fish-Catching Take-Out, and workouts were being done at Deposit Fitness.
Ming Yun Villas had even waived their utilities and electricity bills.

The members’ remuneration and travel funds for mock competitions did not amount to much as well!

Accepting sponsors and selling members alone were earning the club tons of money.
His club could be considered an utter failure!

After some thought, Pei Qian decided that this was unacceptable.
He had to bring up more of Huang Wang’s flaws to drop hints to Team Leader Su.

He pondered for a moment and then said, “Team Leader Su, Huang Wang is a chatterbox.
He talks a lot during competitions and might end up distracting everyone else.
You have to keep this in mind when you make the offer.”

Team Leader Su was stunned.

What was Boss Pei doing?

From the surface, it looked like… he was picking out Huang Wang’s flaws.

Huang Wang was a chatterbox? That’s right—everyone knew that.

Huang Wang would distract everyone else by talking too much during competitions? Hmm… that seemed to be expected.

Was Boss Pei trying to push the offer down, then?

How could that be?! Obviously, all the team members were Boss Pei’s babies.
How could he be pushing the offer down?

Oh, I understand!

Boss Pei’s using reverse psychology to drop hints!

Team Leader Su only had to think for a while before he figured out the true meaning behind Boss Pei’s words.

This was probably what Boss Pei meant when he said that Huang Wang was a chatterbox who might distract his teammates by talking too much during the competition:

Huang Wang was not just a midlaner, but the leader and commander of Team Two! As the commander, he contributed significantly to the team’s battle strategy and was highly influential to each member.
That made him a leader akin to the backbone of the team.

Buying Huang Wang would bring more value to H4 than a mere midlaner of the first-tier would!

Thus, he needed to increase his offer!

Boss Pei lived up to his name indeed.
Even when pushing offers up, he was polite and respectful.

Having understood Boss Pei, Team Leader Su pondered for a while more.
“Boss Pei, we failed to take everything into consideration.

“How about this? A transfer fee of two million yuan, a sign-on fee of 1.2 million yuan, and an annual remuneration of nine hundred thousand yuan?”

Pei Qian was confused.
