Olive Branch Training Base

Office of the Chairman of Porto

Up. Costa was drinking coffee with Mendes while listening to Carlos' report on the negotiation with Gao Xiaodong.

Beside, Andrews looked at a report as if the incident had nothing to do with him, but his attention was on his ears.

"...Chairman, this is the way it is. This Gao Xiaodong is really too self-conscious. He actually wants an annual salary of 200,000 euros. This is a substitute salary for the Portuguese Super League. He may not even be able to play in the U18. The main force, the Chinese people are really too greedy." Carlos said angrily.

Pereira also squeezed the fire and said: "It's arrogant. I don't think such a person may have much success in football. The mentality is wrong."

Costa did not show a trace of surprise on his face, instead he asked Mendes beside him leisurely, "This kid said he wants an annual salary of 200,000 yuan. Do you think he is worth that number?"

Mendes smiled and said, "I don't know if he is worth, but I know this little fat guy must think he is worth."

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

Mendes pondered for a moment, and said: "He is a very interesting and confident person, a little clever, likes pranks, has a strong vengeance, and is greedy for money. Well, I will see this for the time being.

Andrews said, "Actually, he is still young, aren't children so ignorant of the heights of the sky?"

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

"Don't quarrel." Costa waved to Carlos and Andrews, and smiled: "I want to see him for everything 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 own vision, but also hit Carlos and Pereira in the face.

The youth training director Carlos 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 that he is absolutely worthless."

Mendes also froze for a moment. He looked into Costa's eyes, "Are you serious?"

Costa smiled and said, "That's it. I want to meet this little fat guy and play a little game with him."

Mendes knew what kind of wisdom the old man in front of him possessed. 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 bewildered eyes, not knowing what plans the resourceful chairman was working on.

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 so funny, I want to make a bet with him. I can give him an annual salary of 200,000 euros or not. Temporary contract, but he must score 20 goals in the Portuguese Super League within three and a half seasons, but not 20 goals. Not only the 200,000 annual salary is gone, but the 120,000 euros we originally provided are also gone, only every year. A subsidy of 8,000 euros is equivalent to three years of work for Porto in vain. Do you think he dare to bet?"

Just after Costa finished speaking, Pereira and Carlos applauded excitedly, and Pereira said: "The chairman's trick is so beautiful, this kid must not dare to bet."

Carlos said: "The chairman's design of the gambling plan is really good. This kid is arrogant and arrogant because of his own talent. This can crack down on his arrogance and let him have a clear understanding of himself."

Mendes smiled and said: "Chairman Costa, your requirements for Gao Xiaodong are not low, Costiano. Ronaldo became a professional player at the age of 17, and in the first half of the 21st year, he just scored his career. Of 21 league goals and of course 10 cup goals."

Pereira sneered: "How is he worthy of our Portuguese super genius Costiano. Compared to Ronaldo, I think that after three 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 think he must not dare to gamble, unless his mind is flooded."

Andrews protested: "Chairman, this bet is too harsh. Normal people don't dare to bet. Although Gao Xiao winter is good, it certainly cannot be compared with Costiano Ronaldo, a super genius born in twenty years. ."

Costa smiled slightly and said: "Detective Andrews, I have lower requirements for him than Kistiano. He can score 20 goals in three and a half seasons, regardless of the cup or the league. Of course it must be. Portuguese Super."

Mendes shook his head and said: "You gambling plan, most people don't dare to accept it."

Costa smiled and said: "Then let's take a gamble, do you think Gao Xiaodong dare to take it or not?"

Mendes pondered for a moment, and said, "What is the bet?"

Costa's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Mendes to actually take the bet and smiled: "Then 200,000 euros, what do you mean?"

Mendes laughed and said, "It's boring to bet on money alone. Otherwise, I'm going to include Gao Xiaodong under the 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 he said: "Yes, bet, you say, whether he will accept this bet or not."

Mendes laughed and said, "I think he will pick it up."

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

Costa smiled: "Are you so optimistic about this kid?"

Mendes said: "It's not optimistic, but the little guys of this age are pretentious and think they are the best genius in the world, and this Gao Xiaodong has a gambler character, I think he might give it a go. of."

Costa laughed and said: "Well, since you bet that he dares to pick it up, then I have to bet that he won't take it. Andrews detective, you call Gao Xiaodong and say I want to invite him to have a meal."

...

After Mendes, Carlos and Pereira left, the scouts from Sporting Lisbon and Benfica also came to the training base of the Portuguese-Chinese team to listen to Gao Xiaodong’s tone. Gao Xiaodong had the lowest prices offered by Porto and Boavista. , I spoke to the two clubs and asked for an annual salary of 200,000 euros. Sporting Lisbon’s scout Smari was directly angry. Benficaed only said to go back and ask for instructions, but did not call again after returning.

But Gao Xiaodong doesn't care. He has already been promoted and has the strength of an amateur S-level. He is not afraid that no club will accept it. It just depends on which level of club he goes to.

After winning an amateur championship, the club playing football is basically settled. Gao Xiaodong is in a good mood. He eats dinner in the evening and plays the game. After seeing that his parents should have gotten up, he called the family and asked them to say goodbye. Happy happy.

Father Gao heard that Gao Xiaodong had won the Immigration Cup and that he was invited by a wealthy club to earn one million a year. He was happy from ear to ear. He attended the wedding of his nephew the next day. After drinking two cups, I couldn't help but show it up.

The Gao family had long heard that Gao Xiaodong’s son Gao Xiaodong was doing well. The reporters in the county went to interview and talked with the director of the county sports bureau. Now I heard that Gao Xiaodong actually won two championships abroad. Earning one million a year is all with envy, jealousy and hatred, and the clansmen present at the banquet can't help but compliment Gao's father.

Gao Xiaodong’s cousin, Gao Furen, ate at Gao Xiaodong’s college entrance banquet last time, and has always been worried about it. Seeing the uncles and brothers at the wine table complimenting Gao’s father, they were unhappy, so they went to the bathroom and went outside to smoke Smoggy.

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 turns out that in Gao Furen’s mind, his son Gao Xiaoqiu is 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. He hummed and said: "Take a taxi and go back. Home, I’m attending your cousin’s wedding. Hey, look at Gao Xiaodong. Now he has won championships abroad. I heard that you can make one million a year now. What's the use of your university? You have to find a job when you come out."

Gao Xiaoqiu went to Ocean University of China at Landao. Landao has several Star of Hope players. He knows that Gao Xiaodong is also planning to go out with the help of Star of Hope, so he pays more attention to the news of Star of Hope. He had heard about it before. Gao Xiaodong was expelled from the Star of Hope and he had no clubs abroad to play amateur games. However, after the college banquet, he didn’t want to tell his father about these things so as not to have another incident, but this time his father criticized himself face to face. Raising his cousin Gao Xiaodong, made Gao Xiaoqiu very angry.

"Dad, what do you know? I heard my husband and uncle brag, and Gao Xiaodong earned one million a year and won two championships? He was expelled from the Football Association a long time ago, and now he is playing amateur games. , Don’t take a 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, ask the people in the Sports Bureau, they must know."

"Oh, well, Xiao Qiu, Dad is busy now and can't drive to pick you up. You can take a taxi and come back by yourself."

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