"There is only a unified standard contract. This one should be to establish mutual trust between players and clubs, with less routine and more sincerity."

"Well, the club did have some problems with the contract."

"In the past, dge sold players' contracts because other clubs signed contracts with us directly, so they didn't dare to play tricks."

"If a free agent joins these clubs, we have yet to see what kind of contract traps he will encounter."

Zhang Yuan knows very well that under the current model, the contracts prepared by many clubs are actually full of pitfalls.

For their own benefit, clubs must lock in the most promising players at the lowest cost, and players must pursue higher salaries and more opportunities for their own benefit.

The behavior of the two is blameless and they are all for their own interests, but the problem is that this will actually seriously damage the mutual trust between the club and the players.

In order to snatch a star player, the club will often propose a high price, but then lay all kinds of pitfalls in the contract waiting for you to be fooled.

This is just like the routine of many e-commerce websites. On the surface, they give you discounts, but in fact they set barriers for you in other places.

You may have said it well during the negotiation, but actually once the contract is signed, you will be dumbfounded.

The result is that the players do not trust the club, and the club does not trust the players. In many cases, it becomes a zero-sum game, and the interests of the weaker party are harmed.

In most cases, the weaker side is the player.

After all, big clubs have their own legal teams, which give them an absolute advantage when signing contracts.

The standard contract required by Mr. Pei is for everyone to clearly mark the price, and don't make any fictitious contracts.

Clarify all the previously complex contract terms and make changes only in terms of time limit, liquidated damages, transfer fees, specific salary, special terms, etc.

The special terms here are not to restrict players, but to ensure that the club's commitment does not become a blank check.

For example, if there are two clubs competing for a certain player at the same time, the former will pay more and the latter will pay less, but can guarantee playing time. At this time, the players will have more choices.

Many times the reason why players are hesitant is not because they are greedy.

Each company's contract is different. Those who pay more have hidden pitfalls, and those who pay less may not necessarily have a good conscience. You can't take the contract back and study it slowly. How can you make a hasty decision?

It's like selling something. Each buyer doesn't pay a certain amount, but a lot of complicated terms. If players want to avoid being cheated, they have to spend a lot of energy to identify them.

But the problem is that the players are not specialized legal professionals. Finding a specialized legal team is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and not all of them are reliable.

Professional players are young, and their lifetime income and future may be concentrated in the one or two years at their peak. How could they not shop around?

When clubs buy players, they also choose between many outstanding players. This is normal business behavior and there is nothing to criticize.

But after all, the club's risk-resistance ability is much stronger. Signing the wrong person is nothing more than spending more money to support a water dispenser player, and the team's risk-resistance ability is much weaker.

Once something goes wrong, an outstanding young player may have his entire career in trouble.

Therefore, Mr. Pei’s goal is very clear. Don’t make false claims. Just these few rules can be understood by players who don’t have much legal knowledge and they can make their own choices.

Free agent players can contact all clubs, and each of these clubs will make a commitment, with the official acting as an intermediary. Whoever reneges will pay liquidated damages.

The club should not try to pick up the slack at a low price and make the players slaves; nor should individual players try to get around with high salaries and take advantage of the club.

Everyone should take a step back, don't cheat anyone, let the team member's income roughly match his value, and don't go too far.

The secret auction method is to prevent those wealthy clubs from maliciously raising prices and squeezing the living space of small clubs. At the same time, the interests of the players will not be damaged. The clubs cannot unite to lower the prices. The same is true for the truly powerful players. You can get a high salary.

Moreover, this contract does not harm the club's interests.

The club's interests are mainly in three aspects: the attention, popularity and brand awareness brought by the game; the tangible economic benefits brought by sponsors; and ensuring that after training the players, they will not make wedding dresses for others.

In terms of popularity and brand awareness, Mr. Pei’s supervision will not have any impact on this;

In terms of sponsors and financial interests, there is actually no loss;

Clubs can still sign long-term contracts with players and collect transfer fees, and their interests in this area are not affected.

However, if the club wants to lock a certain player in a contract and hide him permanently after having a conflict with the player, it is impossible to happen, because the standard contract required by President Pei obviously does not support this.

Once this happens, Pei will always find a way to get the person out.

This standard contract does not allow the clubs to starve to death, but allows them to eat less and spit out some of it to return to the players.

In this way, mutual trust has been established between the players and the club through the official intervention of Tenda, and there is no need to play tricks on each other. Any demands the club or players have on the contract can be handed over to the official for mediation and resolution.

Of course, there is no absolute fairness in this world, but at least we can pursue relative fairness.

Is the contract given by the club fairer? Or is the contract given by Mr. Pei fairer?

This is obvious.

Because clubs and players ultimately want to protect their own interests, which is blameless, but it also means that they will not consider the impact on the entire e-sports environment.

Mr. Pei is completely objective and fair in his stance. From Mr. Pei's statement, we can see his determination.

The interests of other event organizers are consistent with the club. Many times they do not dare or do not need to offend the club, which can only leave the players to suffer a loss.

But Mr. Pei's attitude is very clear. He will not tolerate the players, but he will not tolerate the club.

Clubs that do not agree to this standard contract must have their own little jiujiu in their hearts and want to play some tricks on the players in the contract.

If this is the case, then I'm sorry, I can't control other areas, but don't participate in gog's e-sports competitions. You would rather give up the popularity and resources brought by this club, and maintain the fairness and justice of the entire e-sports system.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, this is the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist!

In the short term, this move will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many clubs, and may even lead to a decline in the popularity of GoG e-sports competitions and a reduction in player salaries.

But in the long run, the entire ecosystem will be healthier.

Even if the players' salaries are lower, it still avoids huge risks for them.

Obviously, Mr. Pei thinks it is a "good deal" because he believes that the importance of a healthy ecology of the league is far greater than the popularity brought by a few clubs. He believes that regardless of whether these clubs come to support or not, he is confident in running the GoG league!

Now, taking the opportunity of the establishment of the GPL league to establish the access system for each club, it is actually to nip problems in the bud.

Because the GoG branches of various clubs have just been established not long ago, even if these clubs withdraw, Mr. Pei will not spend much money to find another company to take over or even buy them out of the package, and the impact will be within control.

If the popularity really picks up in the future, it will be even more difficult to establish these norms.

This is just like treating a disease. Prevention in advance is definitely better than having surgery after the disease is terminal.

As for why there is a special provision, dge only needs the minimum transfer fee?

Zhang Yuan didn't understand at first. Wouldn't the interests of the dge club be damaged in this way?

But then I thought again, this is exactly an important supplement to the entire mechanism!

Many new players actually have no bargaining power at all when they have not achieved results.

This is normal. After all, clubs have to take risks when buying players. Some players have good rankings but fall out of the game as soon as they play. Wouldn't it be a huge loss for the club to spend a lot of money to buy them back?

Therefore, contracts for newcomers are often very low-priced.

But this has given rise to a new problem: those truly talented players can only sign rookie contracts at the beginning, with low prices and long tenures. They have achieved results but cannot receive corresponding salary, and even fell out with the club. It may be hidden.

Many players are only at their peak for one or two years, and if they are not careful, their entire career will be ruined.

There is no right or wrong in this matter, it is all for your own benefit, but it will cause a de facto waste.

If a talented newcomer is paid a low salary, his mentality will definitely fluctuate, which will affect his performance in the game. If he falls out with the club and is hidden, this outstanding player will be buried forever, which is a loss to the entire league.

Therefore, dge club only requires a minimum transfer fee, which is actually good news for these newcomers.

If you are a newcomer who is strong and confident in yourself, you can choose to come to the dge club first. You will not fall into the pit of the rookie contract. If you perform well, you will naturally be bought by a better club.

The dge club is equivalent to completing a screening, trial and error for the club, and also provides players with an opportunity to prove themselves.

And for the dge club, this is not a loss either.

Because this move will allow more high-spirited and outstanding newcomers to rush to join the dge club. It can ensure that the quality of the new players in the dge club is higher than that of other clubs and always maintain a relatively high level of strength. This is conducive to maintaining the dge club. Brand value.

Although they are not playing games, they can bring these new faces to the league to make their presence felt in front of the audience.

At that time, every time a brilliant newcomer appears, the audience will find that they are from dge, and they will naturally pay high attention to the dge club.

The attention is getting higher and higher, and the sponsorship is naturally getting better and better. Moreover, other clubs buy people from here, and although the transfer fees are small, they are still there.

The wonderful thing about this decision is that other clubs cannot learn from it.

Because the operation model of dge is different from that of all other clubs, it does not participate in competitions and does not need to produce results. It only needs to train players. There is no competitive relationship. In fact, it is mutual benefit.

What's more, this move can better maintain the ecology of the entire GoG League, and the entire Tenda Group can benefit from it.
