Chapter 71

Next door is the office of Xiao Le and another female employee of Xinglong agency. After Xiao Le and Gao Xiaodong and others came in, the female employee left tactfully.

After both sides sat down, 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 listen to your thoughts first?" Carlos used a very formal title, instead of directly calling Gao Xiaodong's name during the trial.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Actually, I am a simple and low-key person, and I don't have high requirements for anything. I only want to know about joining Porto. First, what game do I want to play? Second, how much does it cost to give me?"

You have no high demands on being simple and low-key? Then you 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, no salary, only subsidies, and you cannot register with the Football Association and play in the professional league."

Gao Xiaodong suddenly remembered that it was already 2007 after New Year's Day. He was born on November 11, 1989. Although according to Chinese customs, he believed that the Spring Festival in the lunar calendar was only 18 years old, according to foreign customs, he was already 18 years old.

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

Carlos took his passport and looked carefully, asked the translator again, 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 play professional games. However, IMHO, although you are making rapid progress now, it is still impossible to play in the Portuguese Super League. Therefore, you only have two choices, one is to play in the Youth League, and the other is to loan to Portuguese C, Portuguese B or Portuguese A. If a club wants you."

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

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

Gao Xiaodong said: "Sir, don't just go around the corner and don't tell the truth. I'm sensitive to numbers at all."

Damn, money fan, Carlos said helplessly: "We will give you the highest annual salary for the temporary contract, 8,000 euros, and the formal contract will also give you the highest annual salary for the young players, 90,000 euros."

Carlos felt that he had already given a lot. The temporary contract was the highest level, and the formal contract was the second level. This was under the pressure of the chairman. He didn't want to cause trouble, otherwise he would give Gao Xiaodong an annual salary of the third level. But he didn't expect that after hearing this, Gao Xiaodong was not only not as happy as he expected, but instead gave him a face.

Damn, I have a subsidy of 500 euros per month for an amateur team like the Porto team. When I went to the wealthy Porto, I was like an amateur team. You were begging for food. Gao Xiaodong sneered: "Director Carlos, are you kidding me? Do you know how much subsidy I have for a team like a Portuguese team? 500 euros per month, you can ask Mr. Chen of Xinglong Company."

Carlos smiled bitterly and said, "As for the annual salary, I think that young players like you should consider their future development more than how much money they get. Once you have the strength to play in the Portuguese Super League, it is possible to make a million euros a year."

Damn! Do you think I'm stupid if I'm fat? Use development to fool us young people, save money for ourselves, and develop me has a superstar system, which can be done by myself. You must give more money. Gao Xiaodong shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I care more about how much money I can make in a year."

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

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "First of all, I don't want a temporary contract for one year, unless the temporary contract is the same annual salary as the formal contract. Second, a wealthy family like Porto cannot be too shabby to take action, it will have to have an annual salary of at least 200,000 yuan."

Gao Xiaodong opened his mouth and increased his annual salary by more than twice. As the son of a small vendor, the fat man knew the principle of asking for a lot of money to pay it back. He would rather run away than lose it.

200,000 euros? Why don’t you grab it? This is already the annual salary of a substitute player in the Portuguese Super League team. You are an 18-year-old kid, and you want this price. Damn, people say that our Porto is a black store, and this fat man in China is even darker than us.

Carlos really couldn't agree to this price and this condition. This was the first time he had seen a young man who dared to negotiate the conditions like this for so many years, especially those who were so weak. If it weren't for the order from Chairman Dacosta, Carlos would have spitted on him and then left. But now, he could only wipe his sweat and said, "I can't make a decision on this annual salary. Mr. Gao, I can only give you an annual salary of 120,000 euros at most, and the temporary contract is a provision, and there has not been a precedent yet."

Pereira could no longer hold it back and said, "Gao Xiaodong, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the market. Even if 18-year-old Messi and C. Rowe in Porto, it is impossible for them to pay this annual salary. The club will not make an exception for you and cancel the temporary contract."

Gao Xiaodong said leisurely: "Coach Pereira, you signed the contract as you said, so what else can you talk about?"

What else would Pereira want to say? Carlos was afraid of angering Gao Xiaodong, so he quickly pulled him and said, "Since Mr. Gao insisted on this annual salary, then wait until we go back to seek the opinions of Chairman Costa and then give you a reply."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I have always been very patient with money."

Carlos, Pereira came over to meet Mendes in depressedness and left the training base of the Portuguese team. Before leaving, Mendes showed Gao Xiaodong a delicate silver business card with a smile and said, "Young man has a future. If you have any difficulties in the future, call me."

Gao Xiaodong took the business card and bought it heavy, 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 weighed it, saying, "Yes, I heard that Mendes has four business cards, gold, silver, copper and diamond-inlayed ones, these are silver pieces."

Gao Xiaodong smiled happily and said, "It's so awesome to give people dozens of euros when they meet."

Chen Qiang said with great worries: "This is not something that everyone gives. Today I gave you a silver business card. I value you very much."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Who is he? What do you value me?"

Chen Qiang yelled twice, thinking about how to answer. At this time, Boavesta's scout Simon, with the club's chairman and youth training director, had already walked over.

Chen Qiang said to Gao Xiaodong: "Talk to them first, don't make promises easily, let's discuss it later."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I know that if I don't compare the stores, I will not agree to any of them."

Chen Qiang said: "It's fine if you understand, but don't say it's amazing."

"OK."

Gao Xiaodong went over to meet Simon and said, "Simon scout, let's talk."

"OK."

Simon scout just received a promise from the chairman that he could give Gao Xiaodong a big contract. After entering the office, he immediately said excitedly: "Mr. Gao, I will apply for a big contract for you, 4+3, a four-month temporary contract, a three-year professional contract, a temporary contract, 1,000 euros per month, and an annual salary of 100,000 euros for a professional contract. I promise such a contract is the top youth contract in Portugal."

After Simon finished speaking, he looked at Gao Xiaodong with anticipation. He thought Gao Xiaodong would be ecstatic and agreed immediately. After all, Gao Xiaodong was just a Chinese boy who played a free amateur game.

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

Simon's heart sank, 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."

"This is impossible!" Simon's mouth was opened and he could stuff an egg in it. "If all the players in the echelons are paying such an annual salary, the Portuguese Super League team can't afford it."

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

Damn, Porto is vicious competition, such a player offers such an annual salary! Simon also sweated and said, "This annual salary is too high, I can't make the decision. Mr. Gao, let's do this. I will discuss it with the chairman and the director again, and then give you a reply."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I'm not in a hurry. You can't be in a hurry for your career."

"Okay, goodbye." Simon left the training base of the Portuguese Chinese team with suspicion and complaining.

Seeing that everyone was exposed, Chen Qiang asked Gao Xiaodong what kind of contract the two clubs had opened for you.

Gao Xiaodong told Chen Qiang in detail about the negotiation process with the two families. After listening to it, Chen Qiang's eyes widened and said, "Oh my God! You haven't agreed to it yet."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I don't know the market either, I'm just about to ask you."

Chen Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know how much the salary of the players of the Star of Hope is? Captain Zhang Chi's annual salary in Sporting Lisbon youth team is 1+3, the temporary contract is only 5,000 euros, and the formal contract is only 70,000 euros. Benfica's Yang Fan and Yu Debao are about the same as Zhang Chi, while other people go to Portugal B and Portugal C for only 5,000 euros a year. Listen to it, it is not a month, but a year. Although there are appearance fees and goal awards, it will not exceed 8,000 euros a year."

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "That's how much the annual salary of 200,000 is going to be higher."

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. You can pay it back with all the money by asking for the price of the land."
