Eight listings

Huo Ke had a cigarette in his mouth, dug out the lighter from among the debris on the computer desk and lit it, dragged the gaming chair away, and walked out of the training room with his slippers on, squatting next to the fire hydrant in the stairwell, his hair uncombed Scratching his cell phone with his face unwashed, he looks like a social loafer.

The fire door in the stairwell was pushed open with a "click".

"When you were a player, you would die and stay up all night. After retiring and turning to a coach, you would die and smoke. You are afraid that you will live too long."

Xu Muyang raised his hand and knocked twice on the door, "Everyone is here, come to the meeting. I finally have time to go out with Liang Ji tonight. Hurry up, I don't want to work overtime."

Huo Ke heard Xu Muyang's hurried footsteps stepping on high-heeled shoes through a door, and without turning his head, he bit his cigarette butt and replied vaguely: "You go first, I'll finish smoking, one minute."

"...you haven't answered the phone yet?"

"Didn't his mobile phone break before, um...I'll try again."

"Shouldn't you change your phone number again? Are you reliable? Didn't it mean that he changed all his contact information when he left drg before, and he lost contact for a while, don't worry about this poor boy What a good habit of disappearing when you change clubs——” Xu Muyang’s phone vibrated endlessly while speaking, and irritatedly took two shots on the fire door: “These ancestors couldn’t wait for half a minute, and they called to remind them, I don’t know Who is the leader... Anyway, if you can't invite people, I will screw your head off. Let's go."

Huo Ke was startled by the force of Xu Muyang's slamming on the door. He turned his head and watched her "click-click" go away. He hesitated with his fingertips, knocked on the phone case, and dialed a number.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

After waiting for half a minute and no one answered, Huo Ke crushed out the cigarette butt, exited the call page and sent a text message, got up and walked out of the stairwell.

The drg club base is backed by the Sheng'an Cultural Industry Park. It needs to be restructured three years after its completion. Recently, the entire building is being renovated.The entire corridor of the training room has just finished laying the light strips. Xu Muyang spent a lot of money to redesign the "dr?

Huo Ke passed by the string of flying and shining letters, walked around to the door of the meeting room behind the wall, pushed the door lightly and walked in, and when he looked up, he saw his huge head on the huge display screen—Big Head Hulk's professional resume from player to assistant coach is attached in detail next to the photo, and the question at the end of the paragraph: "It has been agreed that Hulk (id: hulk_h) is officially appointed as the head coach of the drg e-sports club ultiplayer online battle game I look forward to winning more honors for drg in the future."

Hawke smiled bitterly.

From being a professional player to becoming a coach conscientiously, Huo Ke has never left the three-acre land of the DRG Club in his great youth.He has survived the era of small e-sports workshops, witnessed the gradual prosperity and development of the e-sports arena from strength and performance to a paradise where traffic and business flourish, and he has also numbly ignored the waves caused by the injection of capital into the market. In the past two years, he has devoted himself to Living as a "living fossil" in the chronicle of e-sports, he huddled in the club like a mascot and greeted him in panic.

Until this summer Xu Muyang returned to China to work as the manager of the DRG club. Seeing that the little fat man who was a high-spirited player when he was a player is now thin and decadent, he slapped him on the back of the head with all his strength, and shouted mercilessly: "I want to mess with you!" If you eat and die, get out early."

Huo Ke said meekly that he was still counting on the club to pay him pension insurance, and kept muttering in his heart. After half a month, he dragged Xu Muyang drunk and cried bitterly, and shouted at the barbecue stand: "I want to lead the team to the stage to receive the award." Taiwan, can you give me a chance?"

Xu Muyang looked at him with a lot of snot and tears at that time, and asked seriously while passing a tissue: "I want to rebuild drg, can you do it?"

This is the first time Huo Ke has participated in the selection and selection of players during the transfer period since he joined the coaching staff, and he is more or less awkward.He hunched over the door and dragged a chair in the back row of the meeting room with his buttocks pouted, trying to minimize his presence, but failed, and was caught by Xu Muyang on the podium.

"Old Huo, come and say a few words."

Huo Ke retired and turned into a coach. He has been a silent mascot for two years, and he was a little embarrassed to express his opinion suddenly. He respected and expressed his determination with the familiar and enthusiastic operation team staff who hang out with him all day.Seeing him nervously scratching his hands, Xu Muyang smiled, then quickly turned the page to switch directly to the topic, and officially began to negotiate the listing and selection and trial training arrangements for the players of the mobg division during the winter transfer period this year.

This is the highlight of today.

The moment the listing opinion list was displayed on the screen, there was an uproar in the huge conference room—everyone present immediately realized that the young club manager was going to make drastic changes.

Huo Ke seems to have known it for a long time. He drooped his head when he glanced at the screen, persistently refreshing the message page of his mobile phone, and lacked interest in the rustling conversations all over the room.

The analyst looked at "Jiang Weili-ero" at the top of the list with frowning eyes, turned his head and exchanged glances with the operation team leader, raised his hand, and euphemistically stated his opinion: "First of all, I have no objection to Jiang Weili's worth, because After all, he made many mistakes this year from the summer split, bubbling match to the world championship, and his state is indeed not at its peak. We can take this opportunity to comprehensively evaluate his commercial value... But purely from the statistics of the competition, the players currently listed in various clubs As well as free agent players in the market, there is no more suitable middle laner than Jiang Weili."

"Jiang Weili's adaptability is very good after each season version update. A series of data such as injury recovery, output, and team participation rate can also remain in the top five in the league despite the ups and downs of the state. I think the next spring game is not necessary for the time being. Looking for someone to rotate, and there is a kid in the middle lane of the youth training with good statistics, you can let the kid practice with him first, help Li Ge find his status, and there is still time to bring him up as a substitute during the summer transfer period."

Xu Muyang didn't argue, just picked up the coffee, bit the straw and nodded thoughtfully, "Anyone else have any comments?"

The two team leaders of operation and publicity immediately dropped their pens on the notebook, expressing their opposition to the listing of mid laners very bluntly.

"Jiang Weili is a star player of DRG. He is handsome and popular, and his commercial value far exceeds the benefits that his own professional strength can bring to the club. It is okay to test his worth on the market, and sell it——I don't agree."

"That's right, and during this year's World Championship, Jiang Weili was the main promotion point of DRG. Fans' fanatical support has not yet passed, and the money for selling feelings has not been made. Now I want to sell him-after all, the old players , quite a lot of fans still want to see him retire in DRG. Besides, half of our club’s sponsors were negotiated under Jiang Weili’s influence. This is related to next year’s endorsement contract. , where the money to maintain the club comes from is a question."

The operation team leader made it clear, and cast a teasing glance at Xu Muyang, relying on his seniority, "Manager Xu is still young, so it's understandable that things can't be fully understood, but if he doesn't think about the consequences and countermeasures, he will do everything first. Even if the boss intends to cultivate, It's a bit too impetuous-don't trick us into it...you don't count if you say it."

"Is there any other statement? Everyone has no objection to mentioning the two children in the youth training, right? It's mainly about the listing of player Jiang Weili..." Xu Muyang put down his coffee and laughed casually, without imposing it on her at all. The set of "reviewing seniority" rhetoric on his body was put in his eyes, "I will also talk about my thoughts—"

"Let me explain first, everyone may not be clear, although I am the drg club that took over halfway through the summer split this year, but from the very beginning when I entered the e-sports industry, I was an intern at drg-this must be when Lao Huo was a player It’s okay, the two team leaders haven’t come yet.”

Huo Ke was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, when he heard the operation team finding fault and hesitating whether to say a word or not—it's a pity that Xu Muyang's life creed is not to suffer, and he was never given a chance to help, and his words were not polite at all.

Xu Muyang smiled again, and took a few steps to stand in front of the small group of operation teams, "After studying abroad, by chance, I was fortunate to become a small shareholder of our drg. Although the shareholders meeting has not yet been officially announced, the right to speak On the other hand, you don’t have to worry too much, you can speak freely and communicate with each other, and based on everyone’s opinions, I can still make the final decision.”

"I have been paying attention to Jiang Weili, a player who has been fluctuating since the summer split last year. His state has picked up in the spring split this year. After the summer split, there has been a clear downward trend... This is one of the reasons why I am going to list. If This year's winter transfer will not be listed, and next year it may not be able to offer the current star players."

After hearing a few words, the operation team leader was about to interrupt and deny, Xu Muyang restrained his smile and glanced at her: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished my sentence yet."

"This winter's transfer period is equivalent to a turning point for DRG in the next two to three years. The starting players in the middle and bottom support positions are not too young, and the contracts of the two bottom laners will expire next year, so when negotiating in the past two days, I also chatted with them about the direction of the plan. The two players in the bot lane duo position expressed to me their willingness to retire after the end of next year's season and become a commentator or join the coaching staff. That is to say, the bot lane team must There are newcomers coming up to adjust, and it is inevitable for new players and old players to change, have you done a clear budget deduction in your operations, so-called how much profit can you bring to the club?"

Xu Muyang sighed, "As far as I know, Jiang Weili has always signed a one-year annual salary contract, and it has been increasing every year. This year, the annual salary he quoted for me has far exceeded my budget. The money is enough I trained ten top-notch high-salary players in the youth training... Besides, besides the annual salary contract, everyone here has additional problems for all to see-the fine for hanging up the phone during the qualifying training, talking to the referee at the competition venue, and insulting the cleaning lady at the base. Caught him going out shoulder to shoulder with a fan whom he met at an event—the current situation, it’s not too much to say it’s a mess, right?”

The head of the operation team looked very uneasy, and after pondering for a few seconds, he retorted: "The players do need to be restrained, but at least for now, the positive income Jiang Weili brings to the club is greater than the negative impact. And there is no other player on the market who can Bringing so much profit to the club’s operation and publicity, once there is a problem with the club’s operation after the substitution? Is it useful to save money on him alone?”

"Why is there no one...he is not bad."

Xu Muyang pressed the page presenter, picked up the coffee and bit the straw, raised his chin and pointed to the single photo on the screen.

"Recently, he's been considered a man of the day in Sheng'an. Shao Jie, he's been in HRG's bot lane AD position for the past three years. Didn't he come out of our youth training before?"

When the voice fell to the ground, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Most of the newcomers in the team don't know it, so a few people occasionally know a little bit, and feel that Xu Muyang is so inconceivable - after all, the staff who have been in DRG for three years or more are more or less aware that Shao Jie left the DRG youth training, among them The entanglement is due to Jiang Weili. The two players' one out and one in is almost equivalent to a naked provocation against Jiang Weili's authority in the team for many years.

At first glance, Xu Muyang's choice is somewhat ignorant.

"Let's not talk about whether people can be invited over..."

The analyst glanced sideways at Huo Ke who was hiding behind, his eyes tightened for a moment complicatedly, before the operation team leader, who was entangled in his qualifications and dissatisfied with Xu Muyang, spoke, trying to emphasize the problem and explain the facts: " Shao Jie followed hrg into the World Championships this year. He is one of the hottest star ad players at the moment. It is absolutely no problem to play the bottom lane, but we do not lack ADs now. The two-player lane needs to be adjusted, and Shao Jie’s performance in the World Championship this year And the momentum is obvious to all, the price is not low, the overall cost performance..."

The operation team leader was worried about having nothing to say to find fault. Hearing this, he assumed the posture of an elderly person, and continued to look up with folded arms in a tone of scolding the young people, "Manager Xu, I know you plan to expand the club and compete for Sheng'an's home stadium. After all, leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade—but this is not the way to gain popularity. You also said that you want to train children in youth training. It would be a waste of resources to have a big Buddha like Shao Jie here. Why do you have this money? Why don't we keep Jiang Weili, who has obviously higher commercial value?"

Xu Muyang frowned slightly, "Do you know how much moisture is behind Jiang Weili's so-called commercial value? How long will the benefits of his current achievements be enough for him? Have you talked to him about his future direction plan? Should you quote his annual salary? I have also seen how much of this real expenditure can be recovered by your operation. You didn’t even give me a report, and you insisted on keeping people. How can I evaluate the higher commercial value you said? "

The operations team leader didn't expect this little girl to be so aggressive, so he poked his neck and tried to raise his voice, "Manager Xu, the three fires of your new office can't be ignited randomly. Experience and connections can't be explained clearly by numbers..."

Xu Muyang could hear what she meant when she said that Xu Muyang was inexperienced and commanded blindly. He smiled and didn't want to continue arguing with her: "If you think I'm inexperienced, then use data charts to convince me. It's hard to understand, isn't it?"

The operation team leader's face was trampled under by Xu Muyang in public, his face flushed immediately, and his voice changed. Seeing Xu Muyang say a few more words, she would shed blood and tears.

Huo Ke hurriedly strolled over from the back row, and said in a friendly voice: "Everyone, this listing list is mainly an expected idea between me and Manager Xu. Whether it is implemented or not depends on the follow-up negotiations. At present, we are only talking to HRG. The managers and coaches have contacted them a little bit. Shen Yu'an, who is in the support position, is an old player. He has ideas. It seems that he is considering retirement on the agenda. Shao Jie is still in his prime. After communicating with his partner, he did not renew his contract. Right now, the bottom duo is meeting newcomers. Shao Jie just returned to Sheng'an a few days ago, and it happens to be close to the water, so you can try to talk about it first..."

The operation team leader clicked the ballpoint pen impatiently: "What are you talking about? Aren't you fooling around? Jiang Weili, who is going to be listed, is a mid-laner player. It's fine if there is no replacement. Now I have to buy an ad at a high price." It’s not idle for a person to come down the road to fight landlords—"

&nbd? "

Before the operation team leader finished speaking, Xu Muyang chewed the ice cubes beside him, and suddenly laughed.

"The misunderstanding has made sister Hua worse. My idea is to list Jiang Weili, and then persuade Shao Jie to return to the middle road and resume his old business."

Jiang Mo quickly came out of the convenience store with two bottles of iced drinks. When he got in the car, he saw Xiao Letian's forehead was getting red and swollen. , take this ice pack for a while."

"You say you can show your strength. Cheng Ye suddenly broke away from the guard and rushed to beat him. You can just push me away. Can you still block him? Several old men in the third group held him down when he was arrested. He's almost knocking you into the air with such vigor... Tell me how aggrieved you are when you hit the fire extinguisher with your head." Jiang Mo saw the little policeman pouted in the co-pilot and looked in the mirror, moaning and moaning incessantly , I felt really sorry that it was funny, I stretched out two fingers and waved in front of his eyes, "Are you still dizzy? How much is it? How about going to the hospital—"

"I've stumbled, so it's okay to jump on you?! Two... two--senior sister, I knocked my head and I'm not blind. If I touch it, I'm going to the hospital. How fragile I am." Xiao Letian really liked seeing his senior sister rough I was so happy that the skin on my forehead ached, "Master didn't answer the phone just now, and the director uncle said that no one in the team had come back. I sent a message to Master about Zheng Fei and Cheng Ye's mother. Master—— "

Xiao Letian was talking, when the cell phone in his pocket rang loudly—the captain of SpongeBob SquarePants shouted at him to answer the phone.

Xiao Letian took out his phone and took a look.

"—a call."
