Chapter 73 Attending Guardiola's Wedding
Lin Quan had calculated before coming here that, including the German Cup, he had played a total of seven official games. According to the bonus standards given in the contract, it would be very good if he could get 150,000 euros.
Even if the two matches of the Telecom Cup are included, it is estimated to be just over 200,000.
So when Pere found him with a prize of nearly 330,000 euros, Lin Quan himself began to doubt his life.
What's going on with Barcelona? Why did they suddenly become so generous? "Haha, I took advantage of a loophole in their contract and got a little more bonus!"
Pere saw Lin Quan's confusion and explained his operations at Barcelona.
After hearing what Pere said, Lin Quan gave him a thumbs up: "Uncle Pere is really awesome. If I had come alone, I would definitely not have received such a large bonus!"
Pere seemed very pleased with Lin Quan's praise, and he further explained:
"They probably didn't expect you to do so well in the Bundesliga, so they didn't notice this loophole.
But I am very surprised, why your appearance fee, goal bonus and assist bonus are so high, which is almost catching up with the bonus standards of many mid- and lower-level teams in La Liga! "
Lin Quan did not hide anything and told the story of how Guardiola resigned and was kicked out by the Barcelona club.
After hearing what Lin Quan said, Pere seemed very angry.
"Humph, these ungrateful people from Barcelona. Pep has done so much for them, and they treat you like this. This is really too much!"
Lin Quan nodded in agreement, but this was actually nothing. Ten years later, Barcelona's treatment of Messi was even more excessive!
"By the way, I heard from someone at Barcelona that your contract is about to expire?"
Lin Quan nodded: "My contract expires in July next year!"
"Will you renew your contract with Barcelona?"
"Of course... not!"
"It's a wise choice. I also think we shouldn't renew the contract with Barcelona. We can't let them get away with it for nothing!"
After Pere finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.
Lin Quan probably guessed what he was thinking, and he was actually very satisfied with Pere's ability to get things done.
But he was not in a hurry to make a decision. After all, he did not have a comprehensive understanding of his uncle. It would not be too late to ask Guardiola's opinion after meeting him before making a decision.
After receiving the bonus, Lin Quan asked Pere to take him to the city to pick out some gifts to give to his adoptive parents.
After leaving the city, the car drove on the highway for more than an hour, and finally turned into a country road and arrived at an ancient castle not far from the sea.
"Look who's back!"
Seeing Pere and Lin Quan getting out of the car, Guardiola walked up with a big laugh and gave each of them a bear hug.
"How is it? Are you tired from the journey? Is the injury on your foot serious?"
Guardiola noticed that Lin Quan's walking posture was a little unnatural, so he asked with concern.
If it wasn't his wedding and the other party insisted on coming back, he would actually suggest that Lin Quan stay in Germany to rest.
Ankle injuries can be serious or minor. If you do not get enough rest during the injury stage and instead over-exert yourself, the injury can easily get worse.
This is an extremely risky thing for a professional player.
"It's okay, the injury on my foot is not serious, I just need to go back and rest for a few days!"
"Well, that's good. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. I know a few well-known physical therapists who can help you!"
Lin Quan had no doubt at all about Guardiola's connections in the football world.
So he didn't hesitate and accepted the other party's kindness generously.
When he saw Sera, Lin Quan took out the gifts he had bought in the city and gave them to the two of them.
Guardiola got a tie and Serra got a snow-white rhinestone belt.
Both of them were very happy after receiving the gifts. Guardiola put on the tie given by Lin Quan on the spot and told everyone that it was a gift from his son. His proud look made people laugh.
Sera also put on the belt that Lin Quan gave her. The belt was the right size for her. After putting it on, it matched her wedding dress and made her look even more beautiful.
"Kid, why did you buy such an expensive thing? It must have cost you a lot of money, right?"
Although Sera was happy, she also did not forget to complain to Lin Quan a few times, obviously thinking that his gift was too expensive.
With his current salary level, I'm afraid he has spent most of half a year's salary?
"It's okay, you can still make money, as long as you like it!"
"I'm glad you're thoughtful. Don't buy such expensive things next time. I'll transfer some money to your card later. You're alone in a foreign country and you can't be without money. The prices in Germany are said to be very high..."
Like many mothers, Sera kept giving Lin Quan instructions. Maria, who was standing by, covered her mouth and giggled. When Lin Quan found out, she made a face at him.
Guardiola and Serra's wedding was very low-key. They only invited parents and relatives from both sides to attend, and there were only a dozen people attending the wedding.
Under the auspices of the priest, the two made vows, exchanged rings, and then kissed passionately.
The relatives stood up and gave applause to the newlyweds.
Lin Quan was filled with emotion. People in Europe are really cautious about getting married. They have been in a relationship for 20 years and have given birth to a bunch of children, but they are only getting the marriage certificate now...
In order to avoid worsening of his injuries, after attending their wedding, Lin Quan flew back to Bremen that afternoon.
Before returning to Germany, Lin Quan asked Guardiola, who was about to start his honeymoon, about Pere.
Guardiola has a good opinion of Pere and thinks he is a very reliable person.
In addition, the two parties are relatives, so if he were to be Lin Quan's agent, it would be a good thing for Lin Quan's long-term development.
After all, many agents in the football world are only concerned with making money and don’t care about the career planning of their players, such as the vampire Raiola.
And Pere is Lin Quan's uncle. He would definitely not be so short-sighted and would not treat his nephew like this.
However, compared with well-known agents such as Mendes and Raiola, Pere's influence in European football is much less.

However, as long as Lin Quan is strong enough, this will not be a problem, because the club will take the initiative to come to him to poach him.
Since Guardiola said so, Lin Quan felt relieved.
Before leaving, Lin Quan formally signed a contract with Perez and hired him as his agent.
Five days later, the seventh round of the Bundesliga began.
Werder Bremen travels to challenge Augsburg away.
Lin Quan did not get a chance to play in this game. Coach Scharf was worried that his injury would worsen, so he did not even include him in the roster or take him to the away game. He could only watch the live broadcast of the game at home.
Augsburg played very aggressively in this game. Just two minutes into the game, they made a surprise attack and scored the first goal.
However, Werder Bremen, whose morale was high after a bloody battle with Bayern, was not so easy to deal with. They quickly equalized the score in the 19th minute.
It is worth mentioning that the goal was scored by the team’s striker Nils Petersen, who was loaned from Bayern Munich.
This was his first start for Werder Bremen. Ever since Lin Quan secured his starting position in the team, Nils has had almost no chance to play.
And now, taking advantage of Lin Quan's injury, he finally got the chance.
After scoring the goal, Nils roared, venting his anger.
When he was loaned from Bayern at the beginning of the season, he was expected to gain an absolute starting position in Werder Bremen.
Unexpectedly, he not only failed to get into the starting lineup, but also failed to even become a substitute.
The fact that he had not been given the opportunity to perform at Werder Bremen for a long time also made Bayern lose patience with him.
A striker bought for 2.8 million euros had no status in the Bayern team.
After scoring a goal, Nils was ambitious and dreamed of becoming the hero of the team and winning back Bayern's favor.
So he frequently asked for the ball in the frontcourt, but his small body could not withstand the impact of the opponent's defenders, and he often lost the ball.
Moreover, he played few games in the first team and had very poor cooperation with his teammates. When De Bruyne passed the ball to him, he always failed to understand the opponent's intentions and often missed De Bruyne's wonderful passes.
As the game went on, Werder Bremen fell into a disadvantage.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Augsburg scored another goal.
In the 72nd minute of the second half, they scored another goal, and the score on the field became 3:1! Time is running out for Werder Bremen! The players of Werder Bremen were very depressed, and they began to miss Lin Quan.
If he was there, the team would have scored at least three goals based on the chances they created in the first half! Coach Schaff saw that this was not going to work, this fake striker from Bayern was too bad.
So he decisively replaced Nils with Phil Krug.
This substitution achieved excellent results. After Felkrug came on the field, Werder Bremen's offense was revitalized.
De Bruyne and Elia scored in the 78th and 86th minutes respectively to help the team equalize the score.
If there wasn't so little time left in the game, with their offensive firepower they might have been able to stage a stunning reversal!
In the end, Werder Bremen tied their opponent 3:3 away from home and only got one point.
After three consecutive defeats, their ranking dropped to fourth place and was overtaken by Schalke 04.
In other matches, Bayern beat Hoffenheim 7-0 at home, seemingly venting all their anger at the Weser Stadium on Hoffenheim.
On the other hand, Dortmund failed again. They were tied by Hannover away from home. After seven league games, they only got 10 points and ranked fifth. The gap with Bayern is still 9 points.
It is worth mentioning that this season's dark horse Frankfurt was defeated 2-0 by the Foals at Borussia Mönchengladbach's home ground, ending their six-game unbeaten streak.
