Reach. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Info Costa was drinking coffee with Mendez while listening to Carlos' report on the negotiation with Gao Xiaodong.
Beside him, Andrews looked at a report with his eyes as if the matter had nothing to do with him, but his attention was on his ears.
ββ¦β¦ Chairman, that's the way it is, this Gao Xiaodong is really too self-conscious, he actually wants an annual salary of 200,000 euros, which is the salary of a Portuguese Super League substitute, he is afraid that he may not even be able to play the main force in the U18 now, the Chinese are really greedy. Carlos said indignantly.
Pereira also suppressed the fire in his belly and said: "It's just arrogant, such a person, I don't think he necessarily has much success in football, and his mentality is wrong." β
Costa's face did not show a trace of surprise, but asked Mendes beside him leisurely, "This kid said that he wants an annual salary of 200,000, do you think he is worth it?"
Mendes laughed: "I don't know if he's worth it or not, but I know that this little fat man must think he's worth it." β
Costa said, "You went to see that little fat man, what kind of person do you think he is?"
Mendez pondered for a moment and said, "He is a very interesting and confident person, a little clever, likes to play pranks, has a strong sense of revenge, and is greedy for money, well, I will see this for the time being." β
Andrews said: "Actually, he is still young, aren't all children so unaware of the height of the sky?"
Carlos said, "At least I should be a little self-aware." β
"Don't argue. Costa waved at Carlos and Andrews and smiled, "I'd like to meet him." β
Mendes laughed, "What, interested in him?"
"I'm responsible for my 200,000 euros," Costa said. β
Andrews was surprised and delighted, if Costa gave Gao Xiaodong 200,000 euros, it would not only be an affirmation of his own vision, but also the faces of Carlos and Pereira.
The youth director Carlos was taken aback and said: "Chairman, do you really want to give him an annual salary of 200,000 euros?"
Andreas Pereira, the head coach of the Under-17 team, said: "Chairman, I swear in the name of God that he is definitely not worth his worth. β
Mendes was also stunned for a moment, he looked into Costa's eyes, "Are you serious?"
Costa smiled and said, "That's right, I want to meet this little fat man and play a little game with him." β
Mendez knew what kind of wisdom the old man in front of him had, and he smiled and said, "I'm interested in the little game you're going to play with him." β
Carlos and Pereira also looked at Costa with curious and bewildered eyes, wondering what the resourceful president was up to.
Costa laughed, "Mendes, would you be interested in joining this little game?"
Mendez was intrigued by Carlos and said, "Let's talk about it." β
Costa pushed the glasses on his nose and said with a smile: " Since this Chinese fat man is so bold and so interesting, I want to make a bet with him, I can give him an annual salary of 200,000 euros, or I can not set a temporary contract for him, but he must score 20 goals in the Portuguese Super League within three and a half seasons, and if he can't score 20 goals, not only is the 200,000 annual salary gone, but the annual salary of 120,000 euros we originally provided is gone, and there is only a subsidy of 8,000 euros per year, which is equivalent to working for Porto for three years in vain.
As soon as Costa finished speaking, Pereira and Carlos applauded excitedly, and Pereira said: "The chairman's trick is too beautiful, this kid must not dare to bet." β
Carlos said: "The chairman's gambling plan is really well designed, this kid is arrogant and arrogant because he has a little talent, so that he can hit his arrogance and let him have a clear understanding of himself." β
Mendez smiled and said, "Chairman Costa, you don't have low requirements for Gao Xiaodong, Kstiano." Ronaldo, who turned professional at the age of 17, scored exactly 21 league goals in his career and of course 10 cup goals in the first half of his career at the age of 21. β
Pereira sneered: "How can he be worthy of our Portuguese super genius Estiano. Compared with Ronaldo, I think that after three years, not to mention the big five leagues, he may not even be able to play in the first team of Porto. β
Carlos said: "I don't think he would dare to gamble unless he has a brain in the water." β
Andrews protested: "Chairman, this bet is too harsh, normal people don't dare to bet, although Gao Xiaodong has good talent, he definitely can't compete with Castiano." Ronaldo has produced a super genius in such twenty years. β
Costa smiled slightly and said: "Detective Andrews, my requirements for him are lower than those of Cristiano, he can score 20 goals in three and a half seasons, whether it is a cup or a league, of course it must be the Portuguese Super League." β
Mendes shook his head and said, "Your gambling plan, ordinary people don't dare to accept it." β
Costa smiled: "Then do we want to gamble, do you say that Gao Xiaodong dares to take it or not?"
Mendez groaned for a moment and said, "What's the stake?"
Costa's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect Mendes to really take the gamble, and said with a smile: "Then 200,000 euros, what do you mean?"
Mendes smiled: "It's not interesting to gamble purely for money, otherwise, this Gao Xiaodong, I am ready to be included in the banner, and in the future, I will make arrangements for his career, you can't object." β
Costa groaned for a moment, feeling that Gao Xiaodong's current potential is the main force of the Portuguese Super League, so he said: "Yes, bet, you say, whether he will take this bet or not." β
Mendes laughed: "I think he'll take it." β
Pereira, Carlos and Andrews were all shocked, they all thought that Mendes would bet that Gao Xiaodong would not accept this bet, but they didn't expect Mendes to say that Gao Xiaodong would take it.
Costa laughed, "Are you so optimistic about this kid?"
Mendes said: "It's not that I'm optimistic, but the little guys at this age are all pretentious and think that they are the best geniuses in the world, and this Gao Xiaodong is a bit of a gambler, I think he may let go and fight big." β
Costa laughed and said, "Okay, since you bet that he dares to take it, then I can only bet that he won't dare to take it." Detective Andrews, you call Gao Xiaodong and say that I want to ask him to have dinner with him. β
β¦β¦
After Mendes, Carlos and Pereira left, scouts from Sporting Lisbon and Benfica also came to the training base of the Portuguese Chinese team to listen to Gao Xiaodong's tone, Gao Xiaodong had the lowest price offered by Porto and Boavista, and opened his mouth to the two clubs like a lion, asking for an annual salary of 200,000 euros, Sporting Lisbon's scout Smari was directly angry, Benfica Ed just said to go back and ask for instructions, but he didn't call again after going back.
However, Gao Xiaodong doesn't care, he has already been promoted, and with the strength of the amateur S-level, he is not afraid that there will be no club to accept him, just look at which level of club he will go to.
won the championship of an amateur competition, and the owner who played football was basically settled, Gao Xiaodong was in a good mood, eating dinner at night, playing games, and seeing that his parents should have gotten up, so he called home to report the good news, so that his parents were happy.
Gao's father heard that Gao Xiaodong won the championship of the Immigration Cup, and a wealthy club invited him to earn a million a year, so he couldn't close his mouth happily, and the next day he attended the wedding of a nephew of his own family, and after drinking two glasses, he couldn't help but show this matter.
The Gao family has long heard that Gao Fuyi's son Gao Xiaodong is very good, and the reporters in the county have gone to interview, and they are also talking and laughing with the director of the county sports bureau, and now they have heard that Gao Xiaodong has won two championships abroad and earns one million a year, they are all envious, jealous and hateful, and the clansmen present at the banquet can't help but compliment Gao's father.
Gao Xiaodong's cousin Gao Furen was stunned at Gao Xiaodong's college banquet last time, and he was always obsessed, and when he saw the uncles and brothers complimenting Gao's father at the wine table, he was not happy to hear it, so he used the excuse of going to the toilet and ran outside to smoke a cigarette.
Coincidentally, at this time, his son Gao Xiaoqiu called and said that he was on winter vacation and asked Gao Furen to pick him up at the station to go home.
It turned out that in Gao Furen's mind, his son Gao Xiaoqiu is the greatest genius and pride of the Gao family, since Gao Xiaodong's dazzling performance, Gao Xiaoqiu's status in his heart has also declined, he snorted and said: "Take a taxi home by yourself, I am attending your cousin's wedding, alas, look at Gao Xiaodong, now he has won the championship abroad, I heard that now he can earn a million a year now, what is the use of your university, you have to find a job when you come out." β
Gao Xiaoqiu's Ocean University of China is in Blue Island, Blue Island has several players of the Star of Hope, he knows that Gao Xiaodong is also planning to go out with the help of the Star of Hope, so he is also more concerned about the news of the Star of Hope, before he heard that Gao Xiaodong was expelled from the Star of Hope, and there is no club abroad to play, playing amateur games, but after he experienced the incident of the college banquet, he didn't want to tell his father about these things, so as not to cause another incident, but this time his father counted himself down in front of him and raised his cousin Gao Xiaodong, which made the arrogant Gao Xiaoqiu very angryγ
"Dad, what do you know? I actually listened to my husband's uncle's bragging, and Gao Xiaodong earned one million a year and won two championships? He was expelled from the Football Association a long time ago, and now he plays amateur games, and he is the kind of person who kicks and plays, and doesn't take a penny. β
"Ahh
Gao Xiaoqiu said: "Of course it's true, I already knew, I didn't want to tell you, I don't believe you ask the people of the Sports Bureau, they must know." β
"Oh, okay, Xiaoqiu, Dad is busy now, he can't drive to pick you up, you can take a taxi back by yourself." β
After speaking, Gao Furen returned to the wine table in a hurry, ready to expose the lies of his cousin Gao Furen.
