Chapter 234 Little girl, are you a basketball player?
There was nothing special about the Christmas dinner in Valencia. The process was similar to the company's annual meeting.
There are just too many awards to be given out, and there are all kinds of awards. We try to cover all of them and give everyone a red envelope.
Su Dong won quite a few awards. After all, he was considered the best player in Valencia in the first half of the season. Not only did he score the most goals, he was also one of the players who made the greatest contribution. He deserved the award.
However, when the chairman was speaking, Roig, when summarizing 2003 and looking forward to 2004, mentioned that the contract renewals of many players in the team, including Sudon and Albelda, had been completed. He hoped that the team would achieve better results in the new year and strive to go further on the road to the Champions League on the basis of winning the La Liga championship.
To this end, Roig promised that the team will introduce a new Champions League bonus in the new season, which will be significantly increased on the original basis.
In the history of Valencia, it has never won the Champions League, and the local tycoon who has just been in office as chairman for half a year really needs a significant championship to secure his position.
Winning the first Champions League in the club's history is undoubtedly the best stabilizer.
Player representative Albelda also promised on behalf of the locker room that the team will continue its excellent performance in the first half and keep working hard.
The rest is basically just going through the motions.
The only special thing is that Roig and Subiratz both came to communicate with Su Dong in person, which undoubtedly represents a very special signal, that is, Su Dong's position in the locker room is different from others.
You know, players who have been able to communicate face to face with the chairman and general manager are basically the big guys in the locker room.
As Su Dong, who has just joined the team for half a year and is only 19 years old, should not have such weight. For example, Mohammed Sissoko, who joined the team at the same time as Su Dong, just sat in an inconspicuous place in the corner, and no one paid attention to him at all.
But Su Dong became the focus of the chairman and the general manager, which further highlighted his uniqueness.
To put it bluntly, he is Roig's political achievement! ...
The next day, Su Dong, accompanied by Mendes, went to the Mestaña Stadium to formally sign a contract extension with the club.
This also creates a new record in Valencia's contract renewal history.
Because it has only been half a year since Su Dong joined the team, his salary has increased by half. The signing fee of 800,000 euros alone is higher than the annual salary of many players in Valencia's first team.
Su Dong took the money openly.
He knew very well that he was worth this contract! After a day's rest, Su Dong boarded the plane to Munich accompanied by Mendes.
In addition to his agent Mendes, Su Dong was also accompanied to Munich by a lawyer and a business negotiation representative.
Mendes attaches great importance to Su Dong's signing with BMW. Not only will it help Su Dong sign a blockbuster contract, but more importantly, the series of promotions and marketing that will follow will greatly enhance Su Dong's influence in the Asia-Pacific region. So there is a lot of work that needs to be coordinated and negotiated. For example, Su Dong needs to take time out to shoot an advertisement for BMW.
BMW also attached great importance to the signing of Su Dong. Not only did it arrange for Su Dong and his party's food, clothing, housing and transportation during their visit to Germany, it also arranged for Su Dong and his party to visit the BMW headquarters, museum and manufacturing plant. It also invited many authoritative media from Asia and Europe to participate, and even hired a German translator specifically for Su Dong.
"Do you know how much importance BMW attaches to this?" Mendes asked Su Dong with a smile in the first-class cabin of the flight.
Su Dong shook his head. This was his first time to visit a company headquarters. He would stay in Munich for two days and it felt very novel.
"They hired a German translator specifically for you. She's a Chinese female student studying in Germany. The requirements are very strict. Not only must she be about your age, but she must also be good-looking. Especially in terms of height, they require a height of at least 1.75 meters."
"Why?" Su Dong was very curious.
"To match you!" Mendes' smiling expression seemed to be asking, buddy, you don't know how tall you are, do you?
"You know what? There will be reporters following you the whole time taking pictures, and the translator will occasionally appear on camera. If you two stand together and the height difference is too big, or she is too ugly, then..." Mendes looked as if he couldn't bear to watch.
Su Dong felt suddenly disappointed and could only sigh secretly.
Based on European aesthetics of Oriental people, he believed that BMW would not be able to choose any beauties.
Because they don’t understand Oriental aesthetics at all!
"The translator this time is said to have come to Germany to study law, with a minor in German. I heard from them that they interviewed over a hundred people in Germany, Britain and France, and finally selected the best of the best. They also said that he is very good-looking and over 1.8 meters tall. Anyway, I have never seen him." Mendes raised his eyebrows at Su Dong meaningfully.
Su Dong was very depressed. Is introducing girlfriends to players also part of the agent's job?
But, it’s true, during this period of time, many people wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend, but unfortunately, no one was successful.
For example, Ronaldo sent him some photos, all of which were of beautiful women with very hot bodies, but their looks were not the type that Su Dong liked, so much so that Ronaldo couldn't help complaining in the end.
"Helping you find a girlfriend is more troublesome than choosing a wife for myself!"
It is said that this has become a topic of teasing him in the Real Madrid locker room.
Anyway, Su Dong has completely lost confidence in the aesthetic taste of these foreigners.
As for finding a girlfriend, take your time, he is only nineteen years old anyway.
…
Su Dong arrived in Munich without any expectations.
The person who picked him up at the airport was a department head at the BMW headquarters named Schmidt. It was said that he was the one who was in charge of the negotiations for Su Dong's sponsorship contract. He and Mendes had met many times, and they even slammed the table and had a heated argument.
Standing next to Schmidt was a tall Chinese girl, wearing a woolen hat, a gray silhouette long coat, black leggings, and a pair of white Adidas Smiths. She had an excellent figure and temperament, and looked very pretty.
Perhaps it was because of Mendes's words just now that Su Dong completely lost confidence in this German translator. When he saw her for the first time, he was actually amazed, especially her fresh and elegant temperament of a female college student.
The two sides met and introduced themselves to each other.
"Hello, my name is Wang Chuqing, and I'm your translator for the past two days in Munich. Nice to meet you!"
Her voice is very nice, and her Mandarin has a little bit of the warmth of the Jiangnan water towns.
"Hello, Su Dong."
After politely shaking hands with the female compatriot, Su Dong turned to Schmidt and listened to him talk about some matters of cooperation.
Wang Chuqing stood between the two of them, translating some of Schmidt's words for Su Dong. From time to time, she looked up and looked at her compatriot in front of her, who was a little taller than her, one year younger than her, but a hot and talented rookie in European football.
Almost all Chinese people have heard of Su Dong's name, and countless fans are proud of him.
It turns out that he is Su Dong!
Wang Chuqing's original anxiety was relieved a lot.
Before they met, she was worried that Su Dong would be a difficult person to please, but after they met, she felt pretty good about it.
A very sunny and easy to get along with person.
After exchanging a few pleasantries at the airport, the group headed towards the parking lot.
Schmidt drove in front, and Wang Chuqing accompanied Su Dong in a business car, following behind them.
The two sat face to face, and Su Dong smelled a faint fragrance from her.
This fragrance is very special. Su Dong has never smelled it before. It smells very clean and elegant, without the sweetness of other perfumes. It is so pure as if it has not been tainted by a trace of impurities.
Suddenly, Su Dong really wanted to ask her what brand of perfume she was wearing.
But it was too rash, so he suppressed the thought.
"Mr. Su, you don't look like a southerner at all?" Wang Chuqing's smile was particularly pure, which matched her perfume very well.
Su Dong smiled and said, "Since I was a child, many people have said that I have a genetic mutation because my parents are not tall."
"Me too. My parents aren't tall either."
“Shopping for clothes is very troublesome.”
"That's right." Wang Chuqing nodded with a smile, "When I walk down the street, many people will ask, 'Hey, little girl, are you a basketball player?'"
"I play football." Su Dong replied with a smile.
Wang Chuqing was amused, and she really laughed because they both had this special experience.
…
The BMW headquarters is a landmark building in Munich. It has four graceful cylinders on the outside, which looks like an engine, so it is also called the "Four-Cylinder Building."
Next to the Four Cylinder Building is the BMW Museum, whose exterior design is also very special, like a large sea bowl.
Further west of the BMW Museum, across a main road, is a construction site with scaffolding where work is in full swing.
Wang Chuqing said that a project called BMW World was being built there and was expected to be completed in 2007.
After arriving at the BMW headquarters, Schmidt took Su Dong and his party to visit the headquarters and met with BMW senior management.
It can be seen that everyone at BMW attaches great importance to signing Su Dong. From what Wang Chuqing translated, they want to shape Su Dong into the image spokesperson for BMW's entire series of models in Asia. To this end, they are carefully planning a series of marketing activities. A blockbuster advertisement is also being promoted in full swing, but Su Dong needs to finalize the time for the shooting.
The preliminary estimate is that it will be on the national team match day in February. At that time, La Liga will have one game a week, and Su Dong will not have any national team match tasks. He should be able to spare a day or two to come to Munich to shoot this advertisement.
Wang Chuqing noticed that when Su Dong heard the word "national team", there was a hint of unnaturalness in his eyes. She realized that this was because Su Dong was banned by the Football Association.
Why was he banned? Wang Chuqing didn't know the inside story, but she always felt that Su Dong was forced to do so, which made her feel sorry.
This is the flag of Chinese football players in European football, but he is not selected for the national team. What's going on?
The more Wang Chuqing thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Su Dong.
No wonder all the fans in the country are cursing the Football Association.
You deserve it!
