Chapter 405 I'm Serious!
Regarding Su Dong's contract renewal, Mendes still has a lot of differences with Barcelona. In addition to the annual salary, the two sides have many differences in terms of contract liquidated damages and the number of years of the contract.

Of course, this is also a normal phenomenon. No superstar's contract renewal is simple.

Some can even be said to be time-consuming protracted battles.

It is not difficult to solve this problem. For example, Messi’s liquidated damages used a step-by-step method at the beginning. Every time a level is raised, Messi’s liquidated damages will reach a certain value. Now Su Dong can also adopt a similar method.

The contract period can be like Rijkaard, using the method of adding a few, plus some restrictions to ensure the interests of both parties. These are the terms that are often encountered in professional player contracts.

Normally, this kind of contract is strictly confidential to the outside world, and it cannot be disclosed under any circumstances.

Therefore, even the pervasive media can generally only guess a rough idea. It is difficult to know exactly who's annual salary is, how much salary is raised and so on.

Mendes' intelligence is relatively reliable, which also shows his connections in European football.

In addition to the salary and treatment and the contract itself, Su Dong also made an additional request.

That is, he has the right to refuse to participate in some sensitive political activities, including making some speeches and so on.

As a Barcelona player, Su Dong is obliged to participate in many various activities for Barcelona every year, some are commercial activities, some are community activities, some are charity activities, in short, there are all kinds of activities.

In the past year, although Su Dong seemed to stay at home, in fact, he has been paying attention to the situation around him.

The Catalonia region is a very special region in Spain, where there is a very strong trend of resistance.

Why is the Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid so influential?
The reason is simple: political factors.

Barcelona represents the local forces in Catalonia, while Real Madrid represents the government forces in Spain. The former's resistance to the latter is not only reflected in the media, but also in football.

This is why, after Barcelona won the double crown, in the theme of Barcelona's championship parade this time, in addition to Barcelona's long live, there is also Catalonia's long live, and Barcelona's winning T-shirt is printed, this is not just a club.

Yes, Barcelona is really more than just a club.

Why did Su Dong refuse to pass on that T-shirt, and why did he refuse to shout that slogan during his speech?
To put it simply, wearing a T-shirt is like joining a team and kissing the team badge on the chest. Shouting slogans is like saying when joining a team, I have been a diehard fan of a certain team since I was a child. It is all for show!

But it's too touchy for Su Dong!
……

Mendes was very puzzled and did not understand why Su Dong proposed to add such a clause.

This is actually very common in European football.

For example, Scotland and the United Kingdom, and also in Spain, and some autonomous regions in the north.

These places are very similar to the situation in Barcelona, ​​and many local team players are also very keen to participate in such activities, after all, this can better please the local fans.

Besides, this is an era of freedom of speech. As long as professional players do not make some remarks similar to racial discrimination, other problems are not very big.

For example, Aragones, he called Henry a nigger before, but he was disgraced. It is said that he now wants to recruit black players in the Spanish national team to prove that he has no racial discrimination.

But if Aragones shouted that the Catalonia region wants XX, then there must be no problem.

But Su Dong's attitude was very tough, he was determined not to allow it, and even made concessions on salary for this.

In order to gain more autonomy in this regard, Su Dong even asked Mendes to reflect the corresponding clauses in the contract, and he could even use certain clauses to choose to leave if necessary.

"For you, politics is like a game, an election show, but for us, this is a very serious matter, which is cultural differences." Su Dong said solemnly.

He is serious!
Mendes immediately said that he would let the lawyer think about it.

Su Dong thought of Wang Chuqing. She is a top student in the law department of the University of Munich. Although she is not experienced enough, she has practiced in BMW after all. I believe she should still have the ability. The most important thing is that she is trustworthy and can understand him.

Therefore, he asked Mendes to draw up the details of the contract and hand it over to him, who then handed it over to Wang Chuqing to check it out.

Mendes was surprised that Su Dong made such a big fuss, but he could only agree.

……

After sending away the confused Mendez, Su Dong checked the time and called Wang Chuqing.

She just got off the plane in Munich, and she was very happy to receive Su Dong's call, especially listening to those who were concerned about whether she arrived and how to return to the city, she kept laughing.

When Su Dong put forward his idea, Wang Chuqing was so clever that she immediately guessed what he was worried about.

"You are right to think so. When I was an intern at BMW, I found that they were really indifferent in this regard, and it could even be said to be disrespectful. I have already proposed amendments. I guess BMW will pay attention to it in the future."

"I'm not very good at football, but in the next few days I will make up lessons, look for information, and help you research a plan as soon as possible. Then you can talk to the lawyers of the management team. If necessary, I can help you negotiate."

Su Dong thanked gratefully.

This problem is really not his fuss, but really serious.

Abroad, of course, it doesn’t matter, but as a Chinese, the motherland has not yet been unified, and the situation in some areas is even unstable. If he intervenes in some political activities in Catalonia, what impact will it cause domestically?
This is why, no matter under any circumstances, the country does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, especially the reason why it will not express opinions on similar separatist activities.

A person who is always pointing fingers at others, what right does he not allow others to point fingers at him?
"I'm a law student, so I'm aware of this aspect, but I didn't expect that you are quite alert in this aspect." Wang Chuqing joked with a smile.

Su Dong smiled, "At the end of the day, China is my root. I am a Chinese first, and then I am a professional footballer. I don't need to play football, but I have no choice but to return to my motherland."

In the end, his tone was extremely sincere and sincere.

Perhaps it was the education he received since he was a child, or what he saw after going abroad. As his status became higher and his influence increased, Su Dong also loved his motherland more and more.

This is a feeling that comes from the heart, not a show.

Wang Chuqing also suppressed her smile, and hummed on the phone, "I will help you get it done as soon as possible."

…………

…………

After hanging up Wang Chuqing's call, Su Dong's parents also asked about the situation with concern.

After learning about what Su Dong was facing, both Su Wenji and Yang Xiuyu supported Su Dong's decision without hesitation.

You don't make money, you don't have to kick the ball, but there are some things that you can't do.

"Don't worry, my parents are definitely on your side in this matter!" Su Wenji and his wife solemnly stated their position.

But just when Su Dong was quite moved and his nose was a little sore, his parents changed the subject.

"There should be no problem with the contract renewal this time, right? How much signing fee can I get? How much has the annual salary increased?" Yang Xiuyu asked several very private questions in one breath.

Of course, this privacy is relative to outsiders, as parents, of course, there is no such concern.

"Mom, are you looking at another house?" Su Dong was full of wariness.

Mother Yang Xiuyu couldn't bear it anymore, "What are you saying? Am I like that kind of person? Am I concerned about your income? Besides, you are young and have earned a lot of money, but you should save some money, right? If you really want to let go and squander, how much money do you think you can have left?"

As she spoke, under Su Dong's suspicious and disbelieving eyes, she gradually lost her confidence.

Su Wenji let out a final snort, and immediately laughed, "Okay, okay, let's just say it, this kid is extremely cunning, do you think he can believe your rhetoric?"

Yang Xiuyu glared at her husband angrily, "Aren't you the one who taught him to be bad?"

Su Wenji curled his lips, and suddenly dared not speak anymore.

Mother turned to Su Dong, who was watching the excitement, and sighed, "Okay, let me tell you directly, we want to see a building in the center of the capital."

"Oh, then..." Su Dong originally wanted to say, let's buy it, but before he could say anything, he realized something was wrong.

"Wait, Dad, Mom, what are you talking about...a building?"

Su Dong suspected that he had heard wrong.

Are you sure it's a building, not a set?
Both Su Wenji and Yang Xiuyu seemed quite satisfied with the surprise they had created, and both laughed.

As a result, the two immediately launched a brainwashing promotion to Su Dong. From the community where the building is located, the location in the center of the capital, from the school district to the surrounding facilities, and finally to the future value-added potential, etc., they have carried out a complete set of promotions.

In a word, it is to make Su Dong believe that this building will definitely be released after buying it!
A building, dozens of floors, dozens of houses...

Su Dong feels too subversive!

In any case, he never thought that his parents' realm of buying a house had been raised to such a level.

They are no longer satisfied with buying a set, but want to buy one by one.

Darling, isn't the world of middle-aged people too exaggerated?
Before, he was still secretly complacent, thinking that the speed at which his parents bought a house was far behind the speed at which he was making money, but now...

He felt like he was really floating!
"Xiaodong, you have to know that playing football is a youth meal. You can play now, but what should you do after you are over 30?"

"Your dad and I have made a plan for you, buy more houses, and live on rent in the future. Even if you retire in the future, you will still have no worries about food and clothing. If you have no money, selling a house, you feel proud when you think about it, don't you?"

"Of course, the house is a family business. It's best for us not to sell the house, but to buy more houses. Believe me, your father and I have carefully deduced that the house price in the capital will at least double in the next ten years. Let's buy it now and make a sure profit. In the future, we can pay the mortgage with the rent, and we can't lose money!"

Seeing the confident and smug appearance of his parents, what else can Su Dong say?

You have to support with tears in your eyes, don't you?
