Chapter 74 Fatty's Choice
Gao Xiaodong didn't hear what Chen Qiang was saying. His mind was turning rapidly, analyzing the pros and cons of Costa's bet on him.
With his current situation, if he is promoted from amateur S-level to professional D-level, he must get 30 points and win a league championship. Even if he does not have the 20 goals required by Costa, he must score more goals in exchange for points, and strive to upgrade to a professional player within one or two seasons.
So, Costa’s requirements are consistent with his goals. In other words, this is simply Costa’s sponsorship for his upgrade. Why don’t he agree? The one who doesn’t agree is a fool, not just 200,000 euros...2 million yuan...uh...it’s not a small amount of money, damn, but if you fight, how many times can you fight in your life? This time I can’t fight again next time. Anyway, I have a system, Porto is so powerful, I can’t be so lucky that I can’t win a championship in my life.
After a long time, Gao Xiaodong breathed a long sigh and said, "Chairman Costa, in three and a half seasons, aren't the Portuguese Cup, Portuguese United Cup and Portuguese Super League goals scored within 20 goals?"
Costa was surprised and happy. The meaning of this sentence was that this kid wanted to take on this bet, he was a little bitch! Costa smiled and said, "Forget it."
Seeing that Gao Xiaodong didn't listen to him, Chen Qiang quickly pulled Gao Xiaodong's arm again, but Gao Xiaodong was unmoved and continued: "What if my goals exceed 20? If it's an annual salary of 200,000, I'll lose a little."
Hold the grass!
Pereira wants to vomit, fat man, you can die if you don’t brag.
Carlos was speechless, this man was shameless, invincible in the world.
Costa was still very calm and said, "After more than one goal, I will give you ten thousand euros."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Do you only give 10,000 euros more or 10,000 euros more every year?"
"Give it an extra 10,000 euros a year." Costa felt a little sweating on his head. This child had a bit of the potential of a profiteer.
Gao Xiaodong relaxed even more and said, "After signing the contract, should I get an annual salary of 200,000 or a subsidy of 8,000 first?"
Chairman Costa smiled proudly and said: "Of course, it's an annual salary of 200,000 yuan. We at Porto are not afraid of losing money."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Chairman, if I sign a contract, the club can't make things difficult for me, and use excuses to hinder my development."
Costa was so happy that this kid was still a poor man at the root and said, "Young man, Porto's spending in one season is over 100 million euros. Will you make things difficult for this 200,000 euros?"
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "This is hard to say. Stinginess is not the patent of the poor. Isn't that stinginess the Grandet is you Europeans?"
Costa was so happy that he said, "Don't worry, as long as you sign a contract, Porto will fully support your development."
"I'm not good at English and Portuguese and need to make up for the lessons, otherwise I can't communicate with my coach and teammates."
"No problem, the club can help you find a teacher."
“If I want to rent it out, you can’t raise the rent and set up barriers.”
"No problem, the club encourages young people to go out and exercise."
“I want to rent a house outside for easy training.”
"Okay, the club can rent a house with you."
"Well, do I have any signing fees..."
"..." Costa suddenly realized that this kid used this gambling as an excuse to ask for benefits from himself, and he almost fell for it.
Mendes kept smiling and paying attention to the development of the situation. Seeing that Gao Xiaodong actually wanted to fool Costa, he almost laughed out loud. This Chinese fat man is really brave. Even a scheming figure like Costa dares to plot.
However, Chen Qiang, Carlos, Pereira and Andrews are still not aware. Andrews is worried that Gao Xiaodong will agree to the bet and whether he can win. Chen Qiang is worried about whether Gao Xiaodong can score 20 goals, while Carlos and Pereira are secretly gloating and are waiting until three years later to see the fat man in China crying and shouting.
"Do you think you are a star, and there is no signing fee." Costa smiled and refused Gao Xiaodong's request for signing fee.
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "You just said Porto's expenses of hundreds of millions of euros a year are so stingy."
Costa smiled and said, "You must be stingy to someone like you."
Mendes smiled and said, "Congratulations to both of you, the contract has been negotiated, and it will be a family in the future."
Gao Xiaodong said: "The contract is not signed, and nothing can be counted."
Costa laughed and said, "Sign the contract after dinner."
Chen Qiang pulled Gao Xiaodong and said, "Would you like to discuss it again when you go back, and there is also Boa Vista..."
Gao Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "There is nothing to discuss anymore. I decided to sign a contract with Porto." In fact, Gao Xiaodong's initial goal was Porto, the strongest team in the Portuguese Super League, because he had to upgrade by winning the championship. Clubs such as Boa Vista were just bargaining chips for him to negotiate with Porto.
Costa and Mendes both nodded secretly, and could make a quick decision, even if they couldn't play on the court, this kid was also a talented person.
The overall situation has been decided. Both parties discussed the details of the contract while eating at the dinner, such as goal prizes, appearance fees, liquidated damages, portrait rights, commercial endorsements, etc. Gao Xiaodong didn't quite understand these. Although Chen Qiang knew a little, he did not have a high estimate of Gao Xiaodong's future development. He felt that it was hard to say whether Gao Xiaodong could enter the Portuguese Super League in more than three years, so he did not make any requirements on portrait rights and commercial endorsements, and only asked for a 10% share as usual.
People like Costa who do big things are not stingy. Although they do not give Gao Xiaodong a cent signing fee, after the two parties signed the agreement, they still gave Gao Xiaodong three thousand euros to buy some daily necessities. This made Chen Qiang even more impressed by the Porto black store.
When signing the contract and parting, Costa said that he would hold a signing press conference in the press conference hall of the Dragon Stadium tomorrow, so that Gao Xiaodong would go to Porto early tomorrow, stay in the hotel first, and wait until the house is rented before moving in.
On the way back to the training base of the Portuguese team, Chen Qiang was always worried, like a grudge, which shows that God gave Gao Xiaodong a good opportunity to change his destiny, but it turned out that Gao Xiaodong turned into a big gamble. He originally made millions a year, but now he may make 2 million a year or only earn 8,000 euros a year. The gap is too big and Chen Qiang cannot accept it.
As the saying goes, he has a broad mind and a fat body. Gao Xiaodong completely let go after making a decision. No matter what Chen Qiang said, he smiled and joked with Chen Qiang and Xiao Le from time to time.
I will leave the training base of the Portuguese team to Porto tomorrow. I still have a signing fee of 3,000 euros. Gao Xiaodong generously invited all the teammates of the Portuguese team to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.
During the meal, the five coaches of Hope Star heard Chen Qiang say that Gao Xiaodong and Porto had signed a contract worth more than 6 million yuan for three and a half years, and there was no trial contract. They couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. When they first came, they all thought that this fat man was a waste. Unexpectedly, after half a year, Gao Xiaodong became the best one.
After the banquet, everyone went home. Zhang Mingsheng, a coach from Shandong Province, took Gao Xiaodong's hand and said, "Xiaodong, you can get to this point all depends on yourself. I am happy for you. As a fellow villager, I am also proud of you. However, don't hold too much hatred for the teammates of the Star of Hope. They are far away from their hometown and come here to pursue their dreams. In the future, if you are prosperous, you can support me, just support me."
They are not easy, but I am easy. I hate people who laugh at others and look down on others. For such people, if I don’t step on them, I can see that I used to be a teammate, and I will support them. It’s a big deal. But of course Gao Xiaodong can’t say it in person. He smiled and said, “Yes, Coach Zhang, you have drunk too much, hurry up and be careful on the way.”
"Okay, I'll leave now... Oh, the fat man was actually signed by Porto, it's still a big contract of six million. This world really doesn't understand..."
