Chapter 2868 Meeting Tao Xuan!
After the two went upstairs, Wang Yue said to Ye Xiu, "How did your talks with Tao Xuan go about retiring? Do you want me to help you talk to him and buy back your game account?"

Ye Xiu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, my name is actually Ye Xiu. Let's just consider 'One Autumn Leaf' as a farewell to Excellent Era."

Wang Yue didn't expect Ye Xiu to be so magnanimous. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Things aren't that simple. Actually, I underestimated your influence. If I help you talk to them, I can not only buy back your account and your people, but also buy back Su Mucheng along the way."

I know Su Mucheng is my best friend. She'll be targeted after you leave. Why don't you two come together?

Hearing this, Ye Xiu said helplessly, "If that happens, it will probably turn into a very ugly situation, which is something I don't want to see. Moreover, if things fall apart, my family and I will both suffer losses, and only you, Weng, will benefit."

Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not really about the fisherman profiting. Actually, I've met you before, and I also tried out for Excellent Era. I feel that their company, which only cares about profits, is really not suitable for people who value relationships."

Wang Yue paused for a moment before saying very seriously, "I guess Su Mucheng will come over when her contract expires after she finds out you're here, it's just a matter of sooner or later."

If you are willing to cooperate with my negotiations, I can give Su Mucheng some shares, ensuring that she won't have to worry about leaving the industry after her e-sports career ends.

Ye Xiu was touched by Wang Yue's words. What he missed most was the happy time he spent with Su Mucheng's brother. Unfortunately, Su Mucheng's brother had died, leaving behind only this little sister.

Ye Xiu thought that turning against Tao Qian and getting him to help give Su Mucheng a stable future seemed like a pretty good idea.

Therefore, Ye Xiu said very solemnly, "I am willing to agree, but I don't want your team's shares, because if the team goes bankrupt, we will still have nothing."

Wang Yue thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're not interested in this internet cafe, are you? No way, all the internet cafe's tax bills are already accounted for in the company. But this is Chen Guo's lifeline. Even if the company goes bankrupt in the future, this internet cafe will be left to him."

Seeing that Ye Xiu seemed about to object, Wang Yue interrupted him and continued speaking.
"Actually, there is a game company next to the internet cafe. The company has developed a game that is currently in operation. It has only been running for three months and its monthly revenue is in the tens of millions."

If you're willing to cooperate in transferring Su Mucheng here, I can give her one percent of the non-dilutable shares. However, this means Su Mucheng won't receive a salary from the team; it will all be counted as part of her shareholding.

Ye Qiu understood Wang Yue's meaning. The fact that the company could generate tens of millions in monthly revenue with just one game proved that its R&D capabilities were very strong. With this game as a foundation, there would definitely be other games in the future, and the revenue would continue to grow.

Su Mucheng's current annual salary is less than ten million. The majority of her earnings actually come from advertising commissions and endorsements.

Therefore, Ye Qiu said seriously, "The annual salary is settled, but Su Mucheng must take 50% of the advertising commission and endorsement rights, which is half of the right to use her personal image."

Ye Qiu understood that it was impossible to take away all the portrait rights, since the image of the team members affected the image of the entire team.

If a team cannot control the image of a team member, if that person does not manage their image well, it can easily lead to the entire company being ruined.

Wang Yue didn't argue about this point, since Su Mucheng was probably only getting 40% now, and the next contract would definitely be 50%, so he wasn't really at a disadvantage.

After the two reached an agreement, Wang Yue called Tao Xuan and said, "Manager Tao, I need the accounts of Yi Ye Zhi Qiu and Mu Yu Cheng Feng, as well as Ye Qiu and Su Mu Cheng. Name your price."

Tao Xuan was a little confused, but he quickly recovered and asked, "I'm sorry, I don't have your phone number. Which team are you from?"

Wang Yue said with a smile, "It's Team Happy, who's right across from you. If you're willing to reach this cooperation, I'll destroy the evidence I have of you exploiting your team members. Otherwise, you'll see how much loss Team Excellent Era will face."

By then, your investors will probably turn against you, and you'll be the next one to be kicked out!

Tao Xuan didn't expect Wang Yue to be so ruthless. He frowned and said, "Are you trying to trick me? We at Excellent Era act entirely according to the contract! There is absolutely no exploitation as you described."

Wang Yue laughed and said, "Manager Tao, are you joking? Many of the veterans of your Team Excellent Era, the three-time champions, can't even afford to buy a house in their hometown after they retire."

Even your god-like Ye Qiu's contract with you has a pitifully low salary.

Do you think the fans of Excellent Era will eat you alive after this gets out?
You should know that for so many years you have refused to spend a lot of money to buy Ye Qiu an assistant, which has caused your glory to remain in the past, and now it is difficult for you to even enter the finals!
"If people find out now that you're exploiting Ye Qiu, will your fans even listen to your explanation?"

Tao Xuan felt like vomiting blood after hearing Wang Yue's words. He used to be just an internet cafe owner, but he managed to get to where he is today by living a life of careful budgeting.
Moreover, apart from those few teams that partnered with big companies, aren't all the other teams like that?
If you don't plan carefully, many businesses won't survive and will eventually go bankrupt!
However, Tao Xuan had to admit that Wang Yue's words made a lot of sense. If these messages were reported, he would be doomed.

However, Tao Xuan wasn't someone who could be easily manipulated. He sneered and said, "You don't think threatening me like this will work, do you? Besides, if it gets out that Ye Xiu used someone else's ID to participate in the league, he'll probably be permanently banned!"

Wang Yue had long anticipated that Tao Xuan would use this tactic to blackmail him, but he smiled and said, "Yes, you can tell everyone. Guess if your Excellent Era will go bankrupt instantly after this is exposed."

"After all your meddling, Ye Xiu will at most go home and inherit the family business. But when you try to use that to blackmail Ye Xiu, have you forgotten what the real Ye Qiu is doing?"

Tao Xuan then realized that the only thing he could threaten Ye Xiu with was Ye Xiu's love for the game and his attachment to Excellent Era. Once Ye Xiu gave up all of that, Tao Xuan would have nothing left to offer.

Tao Xuan gritted his teeth and said seriously, "If you want it, you can. Two god-level accounts, and those two people, plus a transfer fee of 5000 million. As long as you can come up with that money, we can transfer them immediately."

Wang Yue did not continue to exploit Tao Xuan. After all, once this transfer was completed, Excellent Era would face a huge crisis, and other losses would probably amount to tens of millions.

Tao Xuan's offer of 5000 million was actually a gesture of goodwill, which Wang Yue understood, so he smiled and said, "Boss Tao is generous. We can put on a show together so that you won't suffer too much loss."

Tao Xuan had been holding back his anger for a while, and the company was also worried about how to handle public relations after the transaction was completed.

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Tao Xuan asked curiously, "How are you planning to handle this public relations? I'd like to hear your suggestions. If it's suitable, I can sign a contract with you right now."

Wang Yue said with a smile, "I'm sure you know that Happy Internet Cafe has been a gathering place for your Excellent Era support group for many years."

We can stage a play where Ye Xiu is moved by this loyal fan and wants to help him realize his e-sports dream, while also reuniting the members of the team that won the three championships back then.

Holding such a large-scale event would not only prevent Excellent Era from losing popularity, but would also make people feel that the event has a personal touch, which would be very beneficial for your future careful budgeting.

After hearing this, Tao Xuan thought it was a good idea, so he agreed to hold the signing ceremony and press conference.

However, before that, Tao Xuan agreed to sign Ye Xiu's contract first, but Su Mucheng's contract would be signed on the same day as the transfer signing.

Wang Yue knew this was for insurance purposes, so he agreed and personally went to Excellent Era to find Tao Xuan.

When Tao Xuan saw Wang Yue, he was stunned for a moment before asking with a wry smile, "You second-generation rich kids really know how to have fun. Why don't you inherit the family fortune and come back to play games?"

Of course, Wang Yue wouldn't reveal that he wasn't a second-generation rich kid. He just smiled and said, "Everyone needs to have some hobbies. Take advantage of your youth and have more fun."

Tao Xuan was truly convinced. After signing the papers, he said, "The account of Yi Ye Zhi Qiu is yours now, but I'll give it to you after this season. It's not that I'm going to cheat you, it's just that even if I give it to you, you won't be able to play because this season is already scheduled."

Wang Yue, of course, knew the rules set by the alliance. He readily paid the full amount and then said with a smile, "You can set your own price for the One Autumn Leaf account rental later. I won't calculate it for you." Tao Xuan was somewhat amused and exasperated, but the situation was beyond his control, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere, and then let Wang Yue handle it.

The entire transaction was known only to Tao Xuan of Excellent Era Club. He felt he needed to discuss it with Su Mucheng, so he went over and knocked on Su Mucheng's door.

Su Mucheng was feeling sad right now, after all, Ye Xiu was the closest person to her after her brother passed away.

Hearing a knock on the door, Su Mucheng didn't want to move at all, because she knew there was no one she wanted to see in this base, so she ignored the knocking.

Not long after, Su Mucheng's phone rang. She glanced at it and saw that it was Tao Qian calling.

Su Mucheng felt too embarrassed to pretend she hadn't heard, so she answered the phone and asked, "Hello, what's up?"

Hearing the cold tone in Su Mucheng's voice, Tao Qian knew that Su Mucheng was angry. He said helplessly, "Mucheng, open the door. I have something important to tell you."

Su Mucheng wanted to see, but out of politeness, she opened the door and, after Tao Qian entered, asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

Tao Qian closed the door without any embarrassment, deciding to divert attention with a blunt statement, so he simply said, "Mu Cheng, you've been traded!"

Su Mucheng was clearly distracted. He looked up at Tao Xuan and said with a grim expression, "This is normal. It seems that apart from me, there are no other seniors here. It just so happens that the newcomers are very obedient."

Tao Xuan rubbed his nose and said helplessly, "Actually, you know you're a cash cow. I wouldn't make the deal unless it was absolutely necessary."

Su Mucheng wasn't buying into emotional appeals and said dismissively, "Just tell the truth, where exactly did you trade me to?"

Tao Xuan didn't care about losing face; instead, he smiled and said, "Happy New Century will be holding a press conference in a few days. You'll thank me then!"

Su Mucheng said coldly, "I should thank you. After Ye Qiu left, I didn't want to stay here any longer."

Tao Xuan nodded and said, "I know, that's why you were traded to Team Happy, where Ye Xiu is."

Su Mucheng suddenly looked up at Tao Xuan and said in surprise, "What do you mean? Wasn't Ye Qiu just fired by you? When did she join another team?"

Tao Xuan said helplessly, "The boss on the other side, Wang Yue, is very optimistic about Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu was immediately recruited as soon as he left our store. Their boss came to me and said he wanted to buy you, your account, and Ye Qiu's account together."

Su Mucheng was surprised that Tao Qian confirmed the information, so she blurted out, "You mean it's true? You'd be willing to sell it? What about the account you promised Sun Xiang after you sell it?"

Tao Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Of course we should buy his account, Hengdao. It's a good fit for him. And my reasoning is also very good. Although he was very effective with Ye Qiu's god-level account, the team's performance was only so-so. Buying his original account is a good idea."

Su Mucheng was in a much better mood at this moment and couldn't help but joke, "You're quite the cunning old fox."

Seeing that Su Mucheng was in a better mood, Tao Xuan relaxed and was more willing to help, but said helplessly, "You are still young, not married yet, and don't have families to support. When you are like me, you will have to start calculating how to make money."

Su Mucheng shook her head and asked expectantly, "You're right, I just want to know when the press conference starts?"

Tao Qian knew that Su Mucheng couldn't wait, so he smiled and said, "Next week, I need to buy back Hengdao's account in the next couple of days, and then I need to prepare for the press conference."

Su Mucheng was very happy. After chatting with Tao Xuan for a few more minutes, she saw Tao Xuan out.

After Tao Xuan persuaded Su Mucheng, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Su Mucheng was happy, Ye Xiu would definitely not make things difficult for him. He thought of the other young master, Sun Xiang, who also needed to be coaxed. So he quickly called the owner of the Yueyun team.

As the owner of a small esports club, the Yueyun team's business strategy is to cultivate new players and then sell them, as well as acquire some good accounts and then sell them.

As for newcomers, it's even simpler. They just need to arrange more trials, give them a boost, and then let them join a suitable club. Then, a steady stream of newcomers will come looking for opportunities.

Therefore, the owner of the Yueyun team has connections with various teams. When he saw that it was Tao Xuan calling, he politely asked, "Boss Tao, what brings you to call me? Do you have some business to do for us?"

Tao Xuan knew that Yue Yuan's boss wanted to do business again, so he immediately smiled and said, "I want to buy Sun Xiang's Hengdao account. You know that Sun Xiang is good at this profession. Now that he has been suddenly changed, the team's performance is not particularly ideal."

I'll definitely buy it if the price is right, but if your price is too high, I'll have to buy another Berserker account.

Of course, Yueyun's boss didn't believe Tao Xuan's words, but he also understood that if he wanted to do business with Tao Xuan in the long term, he couldn't afford to offend him. So he quoted a price that was 20% higher than the market price.

This price is quite reasonable at this time, after all, Hengdao was Sun Xiang's previous account, which has special significance.

……

Tao Xuan was still waiting for the account card. After Wang Yue went back, he called Chen Guo and Ye Xiu upstairs. He slapped the contract and Ye Qiu's account in front of them and said with a smile, "Alright, Ye Xiu's contract has officially arrived, and the One Autumn Leaf account is also ours."

Ye Xiu understood that if he really wanted to turn against Su Mucheng, he could definitely get his contract back, but that would only be by using his power to intimidate her. However, back then, Ye Xiu had nowhere else to go, and Su Mucheng was still there, so he didn't want things to escalate to such a tense point.

However, Wang Yue is directly buying people, so both sides can save face, and the transaction is definitely not a problem.

Ye Qiu asked out of curiosity, "Did you buy it from Mu Cheng? How much did it cost in total?"

Wang Yue said with a smile, "5000 million! But if we buy you guys, you can start playing right away. We'll definitely be able to enter the league next season, so it's quite a good deal."

Ye Qiu had estimated the price to be around 6000 million, but Wang Yue only used 5000 million, which showed that Wang Yue was quite capable. He nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang is very generous."

Chen Guo couldn't believe his ears. He asked excitedly, "How much?"

Ye Xiu was speechless at the small business owner. He sighed and said, "Su Mucheng and I are tied together, so 5000 million is already a fair price. It shows that Boss Wang has strong negotiation skills."

Chen Guo then realized what was happening and slapped her forehead, saying, "I forgot you're Ye Qiu. With you and Su Mucheng together, the price is indeed worth that much."

She first flattered him, then immediately looked at Wang Yue expectantly and asked, "Big Boss, when is Su Mucheng coming along?"

Wang Yue was quite satisfied with the title, and said with a smile, "Next Sunday, of course. Tao Xuan also needs to buy a new person. We have to give him some time. If we rush him too much, he won't be able to explain it to his shareholders."
