I'm An Olympic Superstar Chapter 60

Was there any suspense for the following knockout compet.i.tion?

The answer was… no.

Xiao Ran had successfully eliminated Huang Junjie and progressed to the top five of Team Jay.

The song he had sung was rapidly spreading all over China.

The lyrics ‘I am playing Chopin's Nocturne for you, to commemorate my dead love' had appeared countless times in QQ signatures.

Oh right, it was also worth mentioning that the instance was truly a great place to obtain wors.h.i.+p points.

On the night of the live broadcast, Xian Ran had obtained a few million wors.h.i.+p points.

Even afterwards, the wors.h.i.+p points still continue to enter his account.

The points probably came from the people who didn't watch the live broadcast and had watched the repeat telecast.

Also, had been sold by w.a.n.g Feng with the same conditions as the songs sold to Jay Chou. $500,000 with future profit sharing.

It was unknown if w.a.n.g Feng allowed Liu Wentian to sing the song and whether people would be able to hear the exciting and stimulating version that Liu Wentian sang in the original world.

Those were things that Xiao Ran didn't care about.

Right now, Xiao Ran was only concerned about the upcoming LSPL match as that would be the debut of his professional career.

On the same night of the elimination compet.i.tion, Jay Chou had a long talk with Xiao Ran.

At the end, Jay Chou was happy and felt it was a pity at the same time.

He was happy because Xiao Ran would continue to produce songs and he entrusted the full authority to Jay Chou. Xiao Ran had also promised Jay Chou that he would produce at least two songs that were customized for Jay Chou, until Jay Chou was satisfied.

Furthermore, the songs would still be sold to Jay chou for the same conditions of $500,000 with future profit sharing.

It was a pity that Xiao Ran had decided not to enter the music industry and entertainment industry.
(TL note: The author didn't mention it but I think Xiao Ran dropped out from )

On the next day, Jay Chou brought Xiao Ran to the J Team's base in Shanghai.

Subsequently, Xiao Ran started training with his teammates.

Jay Chou's J Team was different from other LSPL teams. Jay Chou wanted the best in everything he did, thus, the team was comparable to other LPL teams.

When talking to this point, it was necessary to mention the owners of the major LPL teams.

EDG(Edward Gaming)
Backend Funding: Hopson Development
Industry: Real Estate
Scale: Hong Kong Listed Company
Owner: Zhu Yihang, Chairman of Guangzhou Pearl River Enterprises Group, son of Hopson Development's Chairman, Zhu Mengyi.

Guangzhou Pearl River Enterprises Group already possessed over twenty large scale projects in the cities of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

Among the projects were the Pearl River International Textile City, Beijing Home Industry Exhibition Park, Jingjin International Commerce And Trade Gang Textile Town, Shanghai Zhujiang Creativity Center, etc…

QG(QG Reapers)
Backend Funding: Huabao International
Industry: Tobacco
Scale: Hong Kong Listed Company
Owner: Unknown

Snake(Snake Esports)
Backend Funding: China Rare Earth
Industry: Minerals
Scale: Hong Kong Listed Company
Owner: Jiang Xin

Did anyone still remember during Snake Esports initial period, wawa mentioned about Snake Esports sponsor, China Rare Earth?

China Rare Earth's Chairman was Jiang Xin's father, Jiang Quanlong.

Jiang Quanlong from Jiangsu Yixing. He was ranked 37th among China's top 400 wealthiest people. He was the one of the largest merchants of China's rare earth and fire-resistant material producers.

Jiang Xin didn't just invest in Esports, he was also pa.s.sionate about luxury car collections.

Among his close friends were race car drivers like Jimmy Lin.

He had several luxury cars that were worth tens of millions, he was also a council member of the HAC(Hyper Auto Club), an elite supercar club.

The HAC was an upgraded version of supercar clubs that had ten council members.

The global supercar clubs had over 1500 members. There were members in various places and the entry level was the Porsche 911 and Nissan GTR.

Since the HAC was an upgraded version of supercar clubs, there were differences even though they were all supercar clubs.

The difference was: Normal supercar club members would have a personal net worth of at least ten million or even over a hundred million. But HAC council members would have close to ten billion.

Also when members were requesting to join the HAC, they would need to possess a certain brand's flags.h.i.+p supercar. The lowest standard was the Porsche Carrera GT.

OMG(Oh My G.o.d)
Owner: Hou Geting.

M3(Masters 3)
Owner: Zhou Hao/Hou Geting.

WE(Team WE)
Owner: Zhou Hao/Hou Geting.

Hou Geting's funding: Chuying Agro-pastoral Group
Industry: Food & Beverage, Live Streams.

The owners for the rest of the teams were all very hidden.

Of course, there was also the team owner for IG, Princ.i.p.al w.a.n.g(w.a.n.g Sicong).

It was evident that ‘upcoming' or LPL professional teams required sufficient backend funding as a prerequisite.

That's right, there was also Team King and many veteran players would remember.

The owner of Team King turned out to be Qin Fen.

It was Qin Fen who said ‘What about me?' when Princ.i.p.al w.a.n.g said, “When I make friends, I don't care if they have money, since none of them are richer than me.”

Back when Jay Chou decided to create J Team, he already made ample preparation and had done it according to the scale of LPL teams.

Hence, J Team didn't just have the starting roster, they also had a backup roster and interns.

When Xiao Ran entered J Team, he wasn't given a salary as he entered as one of the J Team's owners.

Because Jay Chou valued Xiao Ran's talent in music production, therefore, he signed another contract with Xiao Ran.

The contract's content was roughly like this: The team's income would all belong to Xiao Ran. If J Team entered the LPL, Xiao Ran would be given 20% of J Team's shares.

If J Team entered the World Champions.h.i.+p, Xiao Ran would be given 40% of J Team's shares.

The precondition was that Xiao Ran must not transfer to other teams.

Xiao Ran didn't really place a lot of importance on these things. According to what Jay Chou said, only by entering the LPL and obtaining a good ranking, the team would then start to bring in meager profits. 

As J Team initial investment was excessive, thus, they had to enter the World Champions.h.i.+p in order to start having profits.

Xiao Ran knew that he couldn't possibly play LoL forever as there were plenty of other Olympic Events waiting for him.

But using J Team as his long-term income was rather good too.

Thus, Xiao Ran didn't hesitate to sign the contract and become one of the future bosses.

If he entered the starting roster, one of the members would need to be replaced. Due to time constraints, there were only five days before entering the week 8 of the league. Without a choice, Xiao Ran had to replace the Support role for now.

Becoming a Support player had caused Xiao Ran to cry without tears.

He didn't think that his debut would actually be as a support!!!

After the additional training for the past few days, Xiao Ran felt deeply helpless.

He didn't know where Director Jay found all these players. Their individual standards were truly a whole level inferior to the LPL.

If he had to evaluate, elite LPL players would be around 9.5 points, first rated players would be around 9 points.

But his current teammates would only be 8 points and it was already the ceiling. They couldn't even reach 8.5 points.

But Xiao Ran was grateful that these players were rather obedient as they were still in the LSPL. As long as they listened to his commands, they would still be able to handle the compet.i.tion.

But if they wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the LPL, he would have to slowly search for impressive teammates.

Five days flew by quickly and Xiao Ran's professional debut was about to arrive!
