Restricted Superstar

Next door is the office of Xiao Le and another female employee of Xinglong Brokerage Company. After Xiao Le, Gao Xiaodong and the others came in, the female employees left with interest.

After the two parties were seated, Xiao Le made a cup of instant coffee for the four people, sat next to Gao Xiaodong, and listened carefully to Carlos and Pereira's speech.

"Mr. Gao, can we listen to your thoughts first?" Carlos used a very formal address, instead of directly addressing Gao Xiaodong by name during the trial.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Actually, I am a very simple and low-key person. I don't have high requirements for anything. I only want to know two things about joining Porto. First, what game do I want to play? Second, how much will I pay for? ?"

Are you unpretentious and low-key, not demanding? Then still ask for money, Carlos said: "First of all, I have to determine your age. If you are 17 years old, you can only sign a youth team contract. There is no salary, only subsidies, and you cannot register with the Football Association and you cannot play professional leagues. ."

Gao Xiaodong suddenly remembered that after New Year's Day, it is already 2007. He was born on November 11, 1989. Although according to the custom of China, he is considered to be 18 after the Lunar New Year, but according to foreign customs, He is already 18 years old.

Gao Xiaodong took out his passport and handed it to Carlos' interpreter: "I'm 18 years old, and the price is genuine and fair."

Carlos took the passport and looked at it carefully, then asked the interpreter, and said: "Since you are 18 years old, you can sign a professional contract. As long as you register with the Football Association before the winter transfer window is closed, you can call It’s a professional game, but, with all due respect, although you are making rapid progress now, it is still impossible to play in the Portuguese Super League. Therefore, you have only two choices, one is to play in the youth league, and the other is to loan to Portugal C and Portugal B. Or Portugal, if any club wants you."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Then how much can I get?"

Carlos said: "For young players like you, we generally adopt a 1+3 signing method. The first year is a temporary contract. If the first year develops smoothly and can enter the first team, the formal contract for the next three years will be It can take effect."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Your Director, don't just go around and tell the truth, is it good? I'm sensitive to the number of how much it is."

Nima, money fan, Carlos said helplessly: "Temporary contract, we give you the highest salary of 8,000 euros, and the official contract also gives you the highest salary of young players, 90,000 euros."

Carlos feels that he has already given a lot. The temporary contract is the highest level, and the official contract is the second level. This is due to the pressure of the chairman. He does not want to make extravagances, otherwise he will give Gao Xiaodong the third level annual salary, but there is no Thinking that Gao Xiaodong listened, not only was he not as happy as he expected, but he put his face down.

Nima, I still have a subsidy of €500 per month for an amateur team like the Portuguese-Chinese team. Going to the giant Porto is the same as the amateur team. You are begging, Gao Xiaodong sneered: "Director Carlos, you are Are you kidding me? Do you know what my subsidy for the Portuguese-Chinese team is? 500 Euros a month, you can ask Mr. Chen from Xinglong Company."

Carlos smiled bitterly: "As for the annual salary, I think that young players like you should consider their future development more than how much money they take. Once you have the strength to play in the Portuguese Super League, you can earn millions of euros a year. may."

Nima! Do you think I am fat and stupid? Use development to fool our young people, save yourself money, develop my own superstar system, you can do it yourself, you must give more money. Gao Xiaodong shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I care more about how much money I can make in a year."

Carlos helplessly said: "Then you say how much annual salary do you hope to get?"

Gao Xiaodong grinned and said: "First of all, I don't want a one-year temporary contract, unless the temporary contract and the same annual salary as the official contract. Second, a wealthy player like Porto should not be too shabby, at least 200,000 annual salary. Right."

Gao Xiaodong opened his mouth and increased his annual salary by more than twice. As the son of a small trader, the fat man knew the truth about asking prices to repay the money, and he would rather run away than make less.

200,000 euros? Why don't you grab it? This is already the annual salary of a substitute player in the Portuguese Super League. You, an 18-year-old boy, want this price. Nima, people say that our Porto is a black shop. This Chinese fat guy is even blacker than us.

Carlos really couldn’t agree to this price and this condition. He has been working as a youth training director in a Porto black shop for so many years. It’s the first time he has seen a young man who dared to negotiate conditions like this, especially if his strength is so weak. Da Costa's order, Carlos must have taken his face, and then walked away, but now, he can only wipe his sweat and say: "I can't make a decision with this annual salary, Mr. Gao, I can only give you up to 120,000. The annual salary in euros, and the temporary contract is stipulated, there is no precedent for cancellation."

Pereira couldn't help it anymore and said: "Gao Xiaodong, you don't know the market, don't just talk nonsense, even if 18-year-old Messi and C. Luo come to Porto, it is impossible to give them this annual salary, nor does the club May make an exception for you and cancel the temporary contract."

Gao Xiaodong said leisurely: "Coach Pereira, sign the contract according to what you said, so what else to talk about."

What else did Pereira want to say? Carlos was afraid of irritating Gao Xiaodong, so he hurriedly gave him a hand, saying: "Since Mr. Gao insists on this annual salary, let's reply to you when we go back to ask for the advice of Chairman Costa."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I have always been very patient with money issues."

Carlos and Pereira came to meet Mendes depressed, and left the training base of the Portuguese-Chinese team together. When they left, Mendes showed Gao Xiaodong a delicate silver business card with a smile on his face, and said: " The young man has a future. If you have any difficulties in the future, call me."

Gao Xiaodong took the business card and started with a heavy one, but it was not paper. After Mendes left, Gao Xiaodong took the business card and asked Chen Qiang, "Is this silver?"

Chen Qiang took it and said, "Yes, I heard that Mendes has four kinds of business cards, gold, silver, copper and diamonds. These are silver pieces."

Gao Xiaodong smiled happily: "If you meet, you will give away dozens of euros. It's really awesome."

Chen Qiang thoughtfully said: "This is not something that everyone gives. I gave you a silver business card today, and I value you very much."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Who is he, and what I do is important to him."

Chen Qiang said hehe twice and was thinking of how to answer. At this time, Boavista's scout Simon and the club's chairman and youth training director had already made a phone call and walked over.

Chen Qiang said to Gao Xiaodong: "Talk to them first, don't make promises lightly, we will discuss it later."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "I know, if you don't shop around, I won't agree to any one."

Chen Qiang said: "It's good if you understand, but don't say anything."

"Ok."

Gao Xiaodong went to meet Simon and said: "Simon Scout, let's talk about it."

"Ok."

Scout Simon just got a promise from the chairman to give Gao Xiaodong a big contract. After entering the office, he immediately said excitedly: "Mr. Gao, I applied for a big contract for you, 4+3. A four-month temporary contract, a three-year professional contract, a temporary contract, 1,000 euros a month, and a professional contract with an annual salary of 100,000 euros. Such a contract, I guarantee, is the top youth contract in Portugal."

Simon finished speaking and looked at Gao Xiaodong expectantly. He thought Gao Xiaodong would be ecstatic and agreed. After all, Gao Xiaodong was just a Chinese teenager who played amateur games for free.

However, Gao Xiaodong was not only unhappy, but also a little ridiculed: "Simon Scout, do you know how much the annual salary of the director Carlos of Porto gives me?"

Simon's heart sank, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."

Gao Xiaodong raised **** and said: "The annual salary is 150,000 euros, and there is no need to sign a temporary contract."

"It's impossible!" Simon's open-mouthed boss can put an egg into it. "If all the players of the echelon earn such an annual salary, the Portuguese Super League team simply cannot afford it."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Carlos." Gao Xiaodong smiled and said innocently: "Is this number very high? I thought it was a normal number."

Nima, Porto is a vicious competition. Such players offer such an annual salary! Simon was also sweating, and said: "This annual salary is too high, I can't call the shots, Mr. Gao, let's go, I will go back to discuss with the chairman and director, and then give you an answer."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Yes, I'm not in a hurry. It's about career matters, so I can't be anxious."

"Okay, goodbye." Simon left the training base of the Portuguese-Chinese team full of doubts and complaints.

Seeing that everyone is gone, Chen Qiang asked Gao Xiaodong what kind of contract the two clubs have opened for you.

Gao Xiaodong told Chen Qiang the process of negotiating with the two companies in detail. After Chen Qiang listened, his eyes widened and he said: "Oh my God! So many, you haven't even agreed."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "I don't know the market quotation, just want to ask you."

Chen Qiang smiled bitterly: "Do you know the salary of the members of the Star of Hope? Captain Zhang Chi's annual salary for the Sporting Lisbon youth team is also 1+3. The temporary contract is only 5,000 euros, and the official contract is only 70,000 euros. Yang Fan of Benfica It’s similar to Yu Debao and Zhang Chi, and the other trips to Portugal B and Portugal C only cost five or six thousand euros a year. It’s not a month but a year. Although there are appearance fees and scoring awards, they will not exceed one year. 8,000 euros."

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "So, the annual salary of 200,000 yuan is higher."

Chen Qiang murmured: "It's not just too high, it's too high."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "If it's high, it's high, so it's all about asking prices to repay the money."

Chen Qiang was speechless, this little fat man was a monster.
