Da. While drinking coffee with Mendes, Costa listened to Carlos' report on the negotiation with Gao Xiaodong.

On the side, Andrews looked at a report with his eyes, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, but his attention was on his ears.

...Chairman, that's the way it is. This Gao Xiaodong is really too self-sufficient. He actually wants an annual salary of 200,000 euros. This is the salary of a substitute in the Portuguese Super League. I am afraid that he may not even be able to play for the U18s. The main force, the Chinese people are really too greedy. Carlos said angrily.

Pereira also suppressed the anger, and chimed in: It's simply arrogant. I don't think such a person may have achieved much in football, and the mentality is wrong.

There was no surprise on Costa's face, but he asked Mendes beside him leisurely, This kid said 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, but I know this little fat guy must think he's worth it.

Costa said: You went to see that little fat man, what kind of person do you think he is?

Mendes pondered for a while, and said: He is a very interesting and confident person. He is a little clever, likes pranks, has a strong sense of revenge, and is greedy for money. Well, I have seen these for the time being.

Andrews interjected: Actually, he's still young, aren't all children so ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth?

Carlos said: At least you should be a little self-aware.

Don't quarrel. Costa waved his hands at Carlos and Andrews, and said with a smile: I want to see him all you said.

Mendes smiled and said, Why, are you interested in him?

Costa said: I have to be responsible for my 200,000 euros.

Andrews was surprised and delighted. If Costa gave Gao Xiaodong 200,000 euros, it would not only be an affirmation of his vision, but also a slap in the face of Carlos and Pereira.

Carlos, the youth training director, was taken aback and said, Chairman, do you really want to give him an annual salary of 200,000 euros?

Pereira, the head coach of the U17 youth team, said: Chairman, I swear in the name of God, he is definitely not worth the price.

Mendes also froze 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.

Mendes knew what kind of wisdom the old man in front of him had. He smiled and said, I'm very interested in the little game you want to play with him.

Carlos and Pereira also looked at Costa with curious and confused eyes, wondering what the resourceful chairman was planning.

Costa smiled and said, Mendez, are you interested in joining this little game?

Mendes was aroused by Carlos' curiosity and said, Tell me.

Costa pushed the glasses on his nose, and said with a smile: Since this fat Chinese man is so bold and interesting, I want to make a bet with him. I can give him an annual salary of 200,000 euros, or I don't have to set him up. Temporary contract, but he must score 20 goals in the Portuguese Super League within three and a half seasons. A subsidy of 8,000 euros is equivalent to three years of working for Porto for nothing, do you think he dares to bet?

As soon as Costa finished speaking, Pereira and Carlos applauded excitedly, and Pereira said: The chairman's move is too beautiful, this kid must not dare to bet on it.

Carlos said: The chairman's plan for gambling is really well designed. This kid is arrogant and arrogant because of his talent. This can hit his arrogance and let him have a clear understanding of himself.

Mendes smiled and said: Chairman Costa, you have high demands on Gao Xiaodong, Cristiano. Ronaldo, who became a professional player at the age of 17, just hit his career mark in the first half of the year at the age of 21. 21 league goals and of course 10 cup goals.

Pereira sneered: How can he be compared with our Portuguese super genius Cristiano Ronaldo? I think that after 3 years, let alone the five major leagues, he may not even be able to play the main force in the first team of Porto.

Carlos said: I don't think he would dare to gamble unless his brain is flooded.

Andrews protested: Chairman, this bet is too harsh. Normal people dare not bet. Although Gao Xiaodong is talented, he certainly cannot compare with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has produced a super genius in 20 years. .”

Costa smiled slightly and said: Detective Andrews, I have lower requirements for him than Cristiano. He only needs to score 20 goals in three and a half seasons, whether it is in the cup or the league. Of course it must be Portuguese Super League.

Mendes shook his head and said, Most people would not dare to accept your gambling plan.

Costa said with a smile: Then let's take a gamble, do you think Gao Xiaodong dares to accept it or not?

Mendes pondered for a moment, and said, What's the bet?

Costa's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Mendes to take the bet, and said with a smile, Then it's 200,000 euros, what do you mean?

Mendes laughed and said, It's meaningless to just gamble. Otherwise, I'm going to take this Gao Xiaodong under my banner. I have to make arrangements for his career in the future. You can't object.

Costa pondered for a while, feeling that Gao Xiaodong's current potential is the main force of the Portuguese Super League, and said, Okay, let's make a bet. Tell me, whether he will take the bet or not.

I think he'll take it, Mendes laughed.

Pereira, Carlos, and Andrews were all shocked. They all thought that Mendes would bet that Gao Xiaodong would not accept the bet, but they did not expect Mendes to say that Gao Xiaodong would accept it.

Costa smiled and said, Are you so optimistic about this kid?

Mendes said: It's not that I'm optimistic, it's that 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 might give it a go. of.

Costa laughed loudly and said: Okay, since you bet that he dares to answer, then I can only bet that he dare not answer. Detective Andrews, you call Gao Xiaodong and say that I want to invite him to have dinner together.

...

After Mendes, Carlos and Pereira left, scouts from Sporting Lisbon and Benfica also came to the Portuguese team's training base to inquire about Gao Xiaodong's tone. Gao Xiaodong had the lowest price offered by Porto and Boavista , He opened his mouth to the two clubs equally, asking for an annual salary of 200,000 euros. Sporting Lisbon's scout Smari was directly pissed off. Benfica Ed just said to go back and ask for instructions, but he didn't call again after returning.

But Gao Xiaodong didn't care, he had already advanced, and with the strength of an amateur S-level, he wasn't afraid that no club would accept him, he just wanted to see which level of club it was.

Having won the championship in an amateur competition, Gao Xiaodong was in a good mood. After dinner, after playing the game, he saw that his parents should have woken up, so he called home to say hello to his parents. happy happy.

Father Gao heard that Gao Xiaodong had won the Immigrant Cup, and that a wealthy club invited him to make a million dollars a year. He was so happy from ear to ear. The next day, he attended a nephew's wedding. After two drinks, I couldn't resist showing it off.

The Gao family has long heard that Gao Fuyi's son, Gao Xiaodong, is doing well. All the county reporters went to interview him, and he chatted with the director of the county sports bureau. Now they heard that Gao Xiaodong has won two championships abroad. Earning one million a year is all envy and hatred, and the clansmen present at the banquet can't stop complimenting Father Gao.

Gao Xiaodong's cousin Gao Furen was suffocated at Gao Xiaodong's college entrance banquet last time, and he kept thinking about it. When he saw all the uncles and brothers at the wine table complimenting Father Gao, he was not happy to hear it, so he excused himself to go to the toilet and ran outside to smoke. smoky.

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.

It turned out that in Gao Furen's mind, his son Gao Xiaoqiu was 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. Let's go home, I'm attending your cousin's wedding, alas, look at Gao Xiaodong, he has won championships abroad now, I heard that he can earn one million a year now, what's the use of your college education? You have to find a job when you come out.”

Gao Xiaoqiu went to Ocean University of China in Landao. Landao has several Star of Hope players. He knows that Gao Xiaodong plans to go out with the help of Star of Hope, so he pays more attention to the news of Star of Hope. He heard about it before. Gao Xiaodong was expelled from the Star of Hope, and there is no club abroad, and he played amateur games, but after he went through the incident of the school entrance banquet, he didn't want to tell his father about these things, so as not to cause trouble again, but this time his father scolded himself face to face, Raising up his cousin Gao Xiaodong made the arrogant Gao Xiaoqiu very angry.

Dad, what do you know? Uncle Fu Yi is bragging, and Gao Xiaodong earns one million a year and wins two championships? He has been expelled from the Football Association long ago, and now he plays amateur games, just for fun , not a single penny.

Ah! Really? Gao Furen asked in surprise.

Gao Xiaoqiu said: Of course it's true. I knew it a long time ago. I didn't want to tell you. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people from the Sports Bureau. They must know.

Oh, okay, Xiaoqiu, Dad is busy now and can't drive to pick you up, so you can take a taxi and come back by yourself.

After finishing speaking, Gao Furen returned to the wine table excitedly, ready to expose his cousin Gao Furen's lies.
