Chapter 49 Negotiation of Upward Adjustment
When I got home, it was nearly 10 o'clock at night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Tomorrow is Sunday, a day off, and everyone should still be tutoring Portuguese on the second floor. Chen Jianhao opened the door gently, for fear of making a sound, and then took a deep breath before walking upstairs tremblingly.
"I'm back."
As soon as Chen Jianhao walked to the staircase, he saw several people around the table practicing speaking. So he sneakily turned around and paced the toilet in the hallway.
"What are you doing, why does it smell like a hair salon?" Xiao Pan looked over first and asked casually.
Then several people also looked at him, looked at him for a few seconds, and suddenly they all burst out laughing.
"Did you get your hair done?" Chen Jinwu asked in surprise.
Chen Jianhao had no choice but to stop and said, "Hmm...... Slightly hot. ”
"I'm grass! What's the situation? Wu Tianchang got up and ran over, grabbed him, and then looked back and forth. Chen Jianhao couldn't dodge, so he had to be at his mercy.
"Hahahaha! I thought you were running out in the middle of the night to do this? ”
"Alright, alright. Don't move your hands! ”
"Why is the whole hair still sneaking around? I also asked Jinwu to make up something to go for a walk......" Xiao Pan also walked forward with a smile, looked at it, and said, "It's cool!" What's so shy about this? ”
After some jokes, everyone quieted down. Seeing that the children were all excited, and it was estimated that they would not be able to learn at this time, Xiao Pan said: "That's all for today's class, let's go to sleep after a while." I'll take you out tomorrow. ”

Xiao Longtao compiled the day's conversation into a draft and posted it on their website.
In fact, it's just a niche website, and the content is only focused on Chinese players who stay abroad, so there are very few real followers. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, even if it is now quite famous in China, GoalHi football network, was founded by a few avid sports enthusiasts, not only the page and content are extremely simple, in order to attract popularity, at the beginning had to use a variety of "three vulgar" videos to increase the click-through rate.
Xiao Longtao has been in Portugal for many years, before working as an editor at Clix, a well-known sports portal. It wasn't until after the Spring Festival this year that I decided to start my own business. He used the network resources of the fan association to establish a detailed archive of Chinese American students in foreign countries as the first step in the construction of the website.
Usually he is used to going to bed late, but it was just after 1 a.m., and he tried to send a message in the newly joined WeChat group to see if anyone had replied.
opened WeChat, and the words "Chen Jianhao's Internal Affairs Institute" made him laugh out loud again. Xiao Longtao didn't think too much about it, and randomly entered a self-introduction in the chat box, so he clicked send.
China is seven hours ahead of Portugal, and those who work early should all get up. Xiao Longtao waited boredly, and when no one replied, he was ready to go to bed and lie down for a while. At this time, there was a familiar "ding dong", and Xiao Longtao got up again and touched the mobile phone on the bedside table.
Chen Jianfeng: Hello brother, I am Chen Jianhao's younger brother. [smiles]
Xiao Longtao: Hi, you're okay. Woke up so early?
Chen Jianfeng: I have to go to class. [pouting] I just started my first year of high school and had a lot of make-up classes, and I was so miserable.
Xiao Longtao: Haha, bear with it, it's easy to wait until you go to college. I heard you're playing football too?
Chen Jianfeng: Yes, I still have to train in the afternoon.
Chen Jianfeng: Not long ago, I heard my brother say that he will be in the first team next season? Do you know what's going on?
Xiao Longtao: Is there anything else? He didn't even tell me!
Chen Jianfeng: Aren't you quite familiar with him? [in a daze] otherwise how would he drag you in.
Chen Jianfeng: It was all last month. But he was not allowed to play in the next games.
Xiao Longtao: No wonder! I'll have to ask him when I get back. But what's so strange about that? Since you want to put him in the first team, don't you have to play more games?
Chen Jianfeng: I don't know, it seems that coaches should take care of the emotions of their teammates.
Chen Jianfeng: [laughing] I have to go to class, and we'll talk when I have time.
Xiao Longtao: Okay, goodbye.
Putting down the mobile phone and lying back on the bed, Xiao Longtao remembered that in the afternoon game, Chen Jianhao seemed to have said something to the coach before he was replaced.
The first team? If that's true, then next season is a bit of a hope. Although he is not a fan of Boavista, he will keep an eye on him in the future. If Chen Jianhao always stays in the youth team, it is really not interesting at all.
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Jianhao habitually opened WeChat to take a look, and saw the chat records of his younger brother and Xiao Longtao at a glance. Just as I was thinking about how to explain this if people asked, my phone rang.
It was Xiao Longtao's call.
Chen Jianhao hesitated for a moment, and immediately heard the other party shouting: "Jianhao, you are really not interesting, don't tell me such an important thing!" ”
It's useless to cover it up at this time, Chen Jianhao had to say: "It's still a long time, who knows if something will go wrong then?" ”
"How so? Is there any other agreement? ”
"I don't know. The contract has not yet been signed, and the manager said that he will wait until the end of the season. ”
"Contract? Didn't Baihui Company sign a contract with you for four years? ”
"That's because of this...... I don't know the specifics, anyway, the head coach said that the contract can be jumped out early, and then sign with the team. ”
"What are you talking about? Sounds like a mess. ”
"I don't know if I've said it! In short, if a team wants to sign me, I have to negotiate a price with that company first, and I can only sign if they are willing to let me go. Otherwise, there is no way, so I can only wait for two years to come. ”
"What? Were you bought out outright by an agency? ”
"I guess it'......"
"......" hesitated for a long time before saying, "This matter is probably a bit troublesome...... Forget it, I'll go to bed first, and I'll talk about it another day. ”
"Huh? Are you sleeping? ”
"Mmmmmmmmmm
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone directly. Chen Jianhao remembered that Fan Zhiyu and Xiao Pan had also raised this issue before, but at that time he was only full of thoughts about going abroad. Now that he has heard the other party talk about it, he realizes that things may be far from being as simple as he imagined. However, since there is nothing you can do yourself, it is better to let it go.
Last night, Xiao Pan said that he would take them around to play. So everyone got up early and didn't try to sleep lazy.
When he came out of the house, Xiao Pan took them directly to a seafood restaurant in the Plaza de la City Hall in Porto. Although Govia is strict about the diet of his academy players, he has to be allowed to indulge when he comes out to play occasionally.
The topography of Porto is similar to that of Chongqing, and it is steep in climbing. The Portuguese like to decorate with tiles and mosaics, and this style can be found everywhere in the region. Although Boavista is part of the Porto region, they stayed for several months and their activities were largely limited to schools and clubs. So when they finally have to go out, no matter where they go, they are full of infinite freshness.
It was a trip without much preparation. Actually, there are mixed reviews of the city online, but the lads are here for the first time after all, and everything along the way can pique their interest. Probably because it has been cloudy since yesterday's rainstorm, there are not many people on the road. Less than half an hour later, everyone walked out of the subway entrance, and the sun rose again.
Clean gravel roads, flocks of pigeons, old buildings, peaceful old town. The lads felt like they had cut into another space and couldn't find the north, south, south, and north. Wu Tianchang is now able to communicate with the locals in fluent Portuguese, and when he saw an old woman passing by, he smiled at him and said hello, so he started talking to them inexplicably. Chen Jianhao and his entourage ignored him, and when they saw that everyone had gone away, they hurriedly said goodbye to others and caught up.
Porto is surrounded by the sea to the west, and since you are here, you will inevitably have to go to the sea. Like a steep mountain, the blue, deep and mysterious sea is also something that many people dream of getting close to. The number of tourists on the beach suddenly increased, and among them there were many elderly people, who were lying on the benches on the side to bask in the sun.
Time to play always passes faster than usual, and before everyone has finished their fun, it is approaching evening. Little Pan walked alone on the beach and watched the children frolic on the beach. At this moment, it was like being in a dream, Xiao Pan enjoyed it wholeheartedly, and suddenly, a rapid mobile phone ringtone rang, pulling him back to reality.
"Pan, where are you?"
"Hi Philip. We went to the beach. ”
"When will you be back? I just went to the dormitory to look for you after the competition, but I didn't expect there to be anyone. ”
"Why don't you make a phone call first? Did you win today? ”
"It's okay, it's a draw. Let's not talk about that, I want to talk to the children, when will you go back? ”
"Well, a little longer. Are you in the club now? ”
"That's right. Do you need me to pick you up? ”
"No, we'll be there in a minute."
※※※※※※
As soon as he got home, Govia was already standing outside the door.
"Philip, what's so urgent?"
"It's nothing, I just happened to come over when I was free. You open the door first. ”
Several people greeted the head coach one by one and sat down in the hall.
'Boys, it's time to talk about the first team, the chairman has promised to sign you.' Govia gets straight to the point.
Xiao Pan said: "A few of them are fine, the key is the previous contract." How much money are you prepared to pay? ”
"What should Brother Zhou do? Last time, I only said I wanted the three of us. Wu Tianchang on the side interjected, and then looked towards Fang Jizhou.
Govia said: "Don't worry, we will basically sign this batch of youth players, and the team is very short of personnel. But at the moment only 20-50 euros per week can be paid. ”
"It doesn't matter if you have money, it's better than not even giving a penny in the first place."
Chen Jinwu also nodded and said, "As long as we can stay, it's not our turn to think about money now." ”
Govia said: "Anyway, the negotiation is left to us, and you just need to express your approval." ”
Everyone used Portuguese the whole time, and Francis didn't understand a thing at all, just looked at them. Chen Jianhao actually didn't understand anything, some things didn't fully understand, and pondered in his mind for a while before asking Xiao Pan in Chinese: "What was the previous contract?" ”
Xiao Pan said: "They want to borrow players to make money, and they don't really train you for free. If the offer doesn't meet their expectations, they won't let them go easily. That's why Director Fan disagreed. ”
"And what if they don't let them go?"
"What else can I do...... Cold! ”
