Restricted Superstar

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

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

Mr. Gao, can we hear your thoughts first? Carlos used a very formal address instead of directly addressing Gao Xiaodong by his name like during the trial training.

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: Actually, I am very simple and low-key, and I don't have high requirements for anything. I only want to know two things about joining Porto. One, what game will I play? Two, how much will I be paid? ?”

Are you simple, low-key and not demanding? Then ask for money, Carlos said: First of all, I have to confirm 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 in professional leagues. .”

Gao Xiaodong suddenly remembered that it is already 2007 after New Year's Day. He was born on November 11, 1989. Although according to the customs of China, people think that they are 18 years old after the Spring Festival of the lunar calendar, but according to the customs of foreign countries, He is already 18 years old.

Gao Xiaodong took out his passport, handed it to Carlos's translator, and said, I'm 18 years old, and the price is real.

Carlos took the passport and looked at it carefully, then asked the translator, 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 closes, you can play. It’s time for a professional game, but, with all due respect, although you are improving rapidly, it is still impossible to play in the Portuguese Super League. Therefore, you only have two options, one is to play in the youth league, and the other is to loan to Portugal C and Portugal B. Or Portuguese Liga, if a club wants you.

Gao Xiaodong said: Then how much money 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: My lord, don't just go around the corner and not tell the truth, okay? I'm sensitive to numbers.

Nima, money fan, Carlos said helplessly: For the temporary contract, we will give you the highest annual salary of 8,000 euros, and the formal contract will also give you the highest annual salary of 90,000 euros among young players.

Carlos felt that he had already paid a lot. The temporary contract was the highest level, and the formal contract was the second level. This was due to the pressure of the chairman. He didn't want to make extra trouble, otherwise he would give Gao Xiaodong the third level of annual salary, but there was no Thinking that after Gao Xiaodong heard this, not only was he not as happy as he expected, but he put down his face instead.

Nima, I still have a monthly subsidy of 500 euros in an amateur team like the Portuguese Chinese team. I went to the wealthy Porto to be the same as an amateur team. Are you kidding me? Do you know how much my subsidy is in the Puhua team? 500 Euros a month, you can ask Mr. Chen of Xinglong Company.

Carlos smiled wryly: As for the annual salary, I think that for a young player like you, you should consider your future development more than how much money you get. Once you have the strength to play in the Portuguese Super League, you can earn millions of euros a year. possible.

Nima! Do you think I'm fat? Use development to fool us young people, save money for yourself, I have a superstar system for development, I can handle it myself, you must give more money. Gao Xiaodong shook his head again and again, No, no, I care more about how much money I can make a year.

Carlos said helplessly, Then tell me how much annual salary you want to get?

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: First of all, I don't want a one-year temporary contract, unless the temporary contract has the same annual salary as the official contract. Second, a giant like Porto,

The shot shouldn't be too shabby, at least an annual salary of 200,000.

Gao Xiaodong opened his mouth and more than doubled his annual salary. As the son of a peddler, Fatty understood the principle of asking prices and asking for money, and he would rather run away than ask for less.

200,000 euros? Why don't you grab it? This is already the annual salary of a substitute player for an ordinary team in the Portuguese Super League. You are an 18-year-old boy, asking for this price, damn, people say that our Porto is a black shop, and this fat man in Huaguo is even darker than us.

This price, this condition, Carlos really can't agree to it. He has worked as the youth training director in Porto's black shop for so many years. Da Costa's order, Carlos must have poohed his face, and then walked away, but now, he can only wipe his sweat and say: I can't make a decision on this annual salary, Mr. Gao, I can only give you up to 120,000 yuan. The annual salary in euros, and the temporary contract is a rule, and there is no precedent for it to be cancelled.”

Pereira couldn't bear it any longer, and said: Gao Xiaodong, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the market. Even if 18-year-old Messi and C. Luo come to Porto, it is impossible to offer them this annual salary, and the club will not 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's the point?

Pereira wanted to say something else, but Carlos was afraid of angering Gao Xiaodong, so he quickly gave him a hand and said, Since Mr. Gao insists on this annual salary, we will give you an answer when we go back to seek the opinion of Chairman Costa.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, Okay, I've always been patient when it comes to money.

Carlos and Pereira came over to join Mendes dejectedly, and left the Portuguese Chinese team's training base together. Before leaving, Mendes showed Gao Xiaodong a delicate silver business card with a smile on his face, and said: The young man has a bright future, if you have any difficulties in the future, please call me.

Gao Xiaodong took the business card, it was heavy, it was not paper, after Mendes left, Gao Xiaodong took the business card and asked Chen Qiang, Is this silver?

Chen Qiang took it over and weighed it, and said: Yes, I heard that Mendes has four kinds of business cards, gold, silver, copper and diamond-studded. These are silver cards.

Gao Xiaodong smiled happily, It's awesome to give away dozens of euros when you meet.

Chen Qiang said with a heavy heart: This is not a gift from everyone, I gave you a silver business card today, and I value you very much.

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: Who is he, what matters to me.

Chen Qiang hecked a few times, and was about to answer. At this time, Boavista's scout Simon had already talked on the phone with the club's chairman and youth training director, and came over.

Chen Qiang said to Gao Xiaodong: Talk to them first, don't make promises easily, we will discuss 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 that you understand, but don't say no.

OK.

Gao Xiaodong went to meet Simon and said, Scout Simon, let's talk.

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.

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

However, Gao Xiaodong was not only unhappy, but also said sarcastically, Scout Simon, do you know how much annual salary Director Carlos of Porto will give me?

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

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

It's impossible! Simon's mouth was wide open, and he could stuff an egg in. If all the players in the echelon pay such an annual salary, the Portuguese Super League team can't afford it at all.

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

Nima, this is vicious competition in Porto, such a player pays such an annual salary! Simon was also sweating, and said: This annual salary is too high, I can't make a decision, Mr. Gao, how about it, I will go back and discuss it with the chairman and director, and then I will give you an answer.

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: Okay, I'm not in a hurry. It's about career, so don't be in a hurry.

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

Seeing that everyone was gone, Chen Qiang asked Gao Xiaodong, what kind of contract did the two clubs offer 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! There are so many, and you haven't agreed yet.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, I don't know the market either, I was just going to ask you.

Chen Qiang smiled wryly and said, Do you know how much the players of Star of Hope are paid? Captain Zhang Chi's annual salary in 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. Benfica's Yang Fan It’s about the same as Yu Debao and Zhang Chi, and the other ones who go to Portugal B and C are only five or six thousand euros a year. Listen clearly, it’s not a month, it’s a year. Although there are appearance fees and goal awards, it will not exceed 8000 euros.

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head, and said, So the annual salary of 200,000 is too high.

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

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: If it's high, it's high, and it's just asking for a lot of money to pay back the money.

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