Chapter 1090

After their meeting, Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong stayed in China for another two days. Gao Xiaodong personally accompanied Ferguson around the capital in these two days, giving Ferguson a full experience of the long history and ancient culture of China.

Two days later, Ferguson left DIDU, and almost as soon as Ferguson's front foot left, Mendes's back foot came to DIDU.

Mendes, of course, did not come to China for no reason. Gao Xiaodong communicated with him about the renewal of his contract in the past two days. Gao Xiaodong said that Ferguson had come to him and he planned to lower his annual salary.

Mendes doesn't want to lower his annual salary. Gao Xiaodong's income is lower, and Mendes's income is also lower. Their interests are closely related.

Mendes was unable to persuade Gao Xiaodong on the phone, so he came to China in person.

Although Gao Xiaodong and Mendes have a quarrel now, Mendes is not as close to Gao Xiaodong as before. Gao Xiaodong's many things are done by monkeys instead of himself, but Gao Xiaodong is still polite and polite to Mendes. Of course, the original intimacy is also less.

In the evening, Gao Xiaodong and his family meet Mendes in the luxurious four seasons hotel. Naturally, people who have mutual grudges will not have any in-depth communication at the dinner table. What they say is all polite nonsense.

After dinner, Mendes stayed in the royal suite of Four Seasons Hotel and discussed the renewal of the contract with Gao Xiaodong.

Mendes used to be more reserved, but this time he said to Gao Xiaodong directly: "Xiaodong, I don't think we need to compromise. Manchester United will accept our terms. They have no choice."

Gao Xiaodong was slightly surprised, "Mr. Mendes, why are you so sure?"

Mendes said with a smile: "it's very simple. You are the only star of Manchester United now. Scholes retired, Giggs semi retired, park Zhixing is old. Now the midfield organization of Manchester United can only rely on you. Berbatov's forward is flashy, Rooney's ability to seize opportunities is poor. Now he is more like a midfield. Hernandez is too young, and the front also needs your support. Manchester United last season Having won the treble, if you can't renew your contract this season, or even if you leave, the result of Manchester United will be very bad. Ferguson is 70 years old, and he can't wait for two or three years at most. So as long as we insist, Ferguson will certainly put pressure on Glazer, just like last season when he forced Glazer to buy you with a loan. "

Ferguson has no choice but to put pressure on the goalkeeper of Manchester United, especially when he is on the high side If he asks Glazer to pay for Gao Xiaodong's high salary, it is difficult for Glazer to refuse.

Gao Xiaodong said: "Mr. Mendes, you're right, but I think it's taking advantage of the danger. Even if Manchester United do agree to our salary request in the end, I'm afraid it will make the coach and club manager dissatisfied."

Before Mendes became suspicious of Gao Xiaodong, Mendes would not do this kind of job like laiola. But now, Mendes knows that he does not know when to break up with Gao Xiaodong and where he will take care of future affairs. Now he can do one thing at a time.

"We can't talk about taking advantage of others' danger. There has never been a win-win negotiation. Everyone wants to get more benefits. The final result depends on strength rather than desire. Don't think about things too naively, Xiao Dong."

Gao Xiaodong said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Mendes, it's not a naive problem. Manager Ferguson has come to me personally and promised me to be captain in the new season. I don't think it's necessary to be too stiff if I don't leave Manchester United. It's OK to make concessions appropriately."

Mendes surprised, said: "Ferguson let you be captain next season?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "yes, that's what he said. I don't think it's possible for him to say it casually."

Mendes slightly pondered, sighed: "Ferguson is really bold, even dare to let you be captain of Manchester United so soon, in order to save money for the Glazer family is also hard."

Mendes's words revealed a trace of ridicule to Ferguson and hostility to Glazer.

At that time, Glazer's loan to buy Manchester United met with strong opposition from Manchester United fans, and even some fans united to buy Manchester United. In this crisis, Ferguson's support helped Glazer tide over the difficulties. However, due to his huge debt, Glazer's investment in the transfer market was very stingy, which made him a relatively exclusive person in the broker circle .

"No matter what Ferguson's goal is, I have to have a good relationship with him as long as I want to do well at Manchester United," said Gao

Mendes saw that Gao Xiaodong didn't want to insist on an annual salary of 20 million euros for the sake of a captain position, so he had to say: "Xiaodong, do you mean you are willing to accept Manchester United's offer of 15 million euros?"

Although Gao Xiaodong decided to give in, the figure of 15 million won't be accepted. He said: "Messi can get 14.68 million euro a year. I have to be several million higher than him. 17 million, which I think is acceptable. "If we can continue to achieve good results and get more business income, we can get a win-win situation for Gao Xiaodong and Manchester United.

Gao Xiaodong gave his own bottom line and gave Mendes one million euro negotiation space. Gao Xiaodong gave in and Mendes could not continue to insist on his distant request. He had to say: "well, I will continue to negotiate with David Gill. I'm afraid Manchester United will advance an inch and I don't even want to spend this money."

Gao Xiaodong said: "if they really don't want to pay $17 million, there will be no sincerity in the contract renewal negotiation. It's not that I can't find a team who is willing to take over."

Mendes said: "well, that's it. In addition, the negotiation between us and Nike has not made much progress recently. Nike insists that 6 million euros a year is already super value. They are not willing to follow up Adidas's offer. Nike thinks that Adidas doesn't really want to give you so much money. They just want Nike to pay more, just move their mouth to let competitors Bleeding, this is the plot of Adidas, Nike hope we don't be fooled, if we break the contract with Nike, Adidas will certainly not give us such a high endorsement fee. "

Gao Xiaodong said, "I don't quite understand this, Mr. Mendes. What do you think?"

Mendes said: "I think Adidas is very sincere. The German is more reliable than the American. In addition, Macy's business potential is not enough. Let alone compete with you, even better than Ronaldo. This is also the fundamental reason why Adidas wants to dig you. But if you want to break the contract, I'm afraid you'll have to fight a protracted lawsuit with Nike. "

Gao Xiaodong pondered for a while and said: "let's talk about it again. If it's really not possible, we'd better renew our contract with Nike. We don't have so much energy to sue them. Besides, it's OK for Nike to give us a contract."

Mendes said, "OK, I see."
