Chapter 751 Reaching the Top of Forbes

London, the international metropolis.

As soon as they met, they gave Su Dong a note of Ma Wei.

At Heathrow Airport in London, Su Dong was recognized by the passengers on the spot despite the disguise.

In fact, it can't be blamed on the sharp eyes of tourists and fans, but because Su Dong is too conspicuous.

That height, that figure, it stands out from the crowd anywhere.

And it was hot summer, Su Dong's disguise seemed too thin.

What's more, it's the time of the World Cup, and the flight from Johannesburg to London is full of fans.

As soon as he got on the plane, Su Dong was immediately recognized by the fans.

This was the case on the plane. When Su Dong appeared at Heathrow Airport, he was immediately besieged by fans and passengers, and media reporters soon heard the news, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Even though he was already in the car that Mendez arranged to pick him up and was on his way to the hotel, as long as Su Dong thought about what happened at the airport just now, he would feel a headache.

too crazy!

The scene was chaotic, the fans shouted a lot, and Su Dong said the most words, roughly, he just returned to Europe from Johannesburg, not coming to the UK specially.

This is obviously also explaining to fans and media reporters. As for believe it or not, who knows?
……

"I told you a long time ago, you can't hide it like this."

The two sat side by side in the back row of the car, and Wang Chuqing laughed jokingly.

The key is that Su Dong's figure is too conspicuous, and he really can't hide it even if he wants to, especially now that there are so many fans at the airport.

It was the first time that Su Dong felt the trouble caused by height, but what could he do?
Is it possible to reverse the growth and shrink back?
"Next time I'll wear a hood, and I won't take it off, let's see who can recognize me." Su Dong laughed.

Wang Chuqing laughed, "Then others will suspect that you are a gangster who escaped halfway."

Just like in the movie, don't the gangsters all wear hoods?

"Yes, yes, I am a thief, a flower picker." After finishing speaking, he stared at Wang Chuqing maliciously.

Wang Chuqing blushed, and gave him a coquettish look, reminding him that there was a driver in front of him, so speak seriously.

She doesn't mind how crazy the two of them are in private, but she is still quite cold in front of others.

Su Dong immediately became serious, "I'll listen to you, and we'll settle the score tonight."

Wang Chuqing became even more ashamed, her face seemed to drip water.

……

The two arrived at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel in central London.

This hotel is just next door to the world-famous top mansion, One Hyde Park.

After the two of Su Dong arrived, they got off the car and went in. There would be someone to help deliver the luggage and so on.

Soon, they went directly from the VIP channel to the luxury suite.

Both Mendes and Ma Dawei had been waiting for a long time.

"tanned."

When they saw Su Dong, both Mendes and Ma Dawei noticed the difference in him.

"Normally, I ran in Africa for more than a month, went to Kenya to see the great migration of animals, went to Egypt to see the pyramids, and ran after the World Cup in South Africa. How could I not get tanned?" Su Dong didn't care.

It's also interesting to say, I don't know if it's related to his personal physique, Su Dong has a lot of tan, and he looks healthier.

But Wang Chuqing also ran with Su Dong, the desert and the sun were all there, but she was always so delicate and fair.

Every time he saw her face, Su Dong was so envious that he complained that God was unfair and gave her all the best advantages.

"Only you young people have such energy. If it were me, I would go to South Africa to watch a World Cup. I would not even be able to lift my spirits. At that time, I would rather lie at home, comfortably blow on the air conditioner, and enjoy a leisurely and comfortable life." Mendes said full of sighs.

Mendes looks very bright and young, but in fact he is 44 years old.

Once the man got older, his physical strength and energy were not as good as before, and Mendes had complained about this a lot.

He even said that he often dyes his hair.

Don't get me wrong, he dyed his white hair black, otherwise, he would be ashamed to come out to meet people.

Ma Dawei was the one present who felt the most. He is not yet forty, but his physical strength and energy are also much lower.

Su Dong was not surprised, because he had heard about it, especially professional players, when they reached the age of 30, they basically went from bad to worse, and some even went downhill before they turned [-].

"How? How's the progress?" After chatting, Su Dong talked about the business with concern.

……

Since Su Dong decided not to renew his contract with Bayern half a year ago, Mendes and Ma Dawei have been paving the way for Su Dong and looking for a next home.

Real Madrid has never been Su Dong's first choice, not even within the selection range.

Manchester United has had contact, but there has been no progress. Instead, it is Manchester City, which is the most sincere and the closest to Sudong.

Many things, the outside media analyzed very thoroughly and in-depth. Basically, apart from the results, Manchester City was the best choice for Sudong, and in the end Manchester City also qualified for the Europa League.

From Bayern to Manchester City, failing to play in the Champions League, the Sudong team needs to solve many problems.

For example, sponsors, when they signed with Su Dong, they valued Su Dong's performance in the Champions League, but if Su Dong could not play in the Champions League, how would he explain to the sponsors?
Before moving to Manchester City, you must first get a sponsor.

According to the feedback from Mendes, Su Dong’s sponsors are basically loyal. They did not choose to terminate the contract because he was unable to play in the Champions League after he transferred to Manchester City, but he also asked Su Dong to make a promise to return to the Champions League at a certain time.

However, there were two or three cooperation deals that were being negotiated, but they were yellowed because of this.

There was no way to do this, after all, what people valued was Su Dong's performance in the top arena.

Going to the Premier League, the exposure rate must be higher, but the absence of the Champions League has a lot of impact.

After securing the sponsorship, Su Dong's team has to make a series of cuts with Bayern.

There are too many conflicts of interest between the two parties, especially at the commercial level, some of which need to be bought out, some can be terminated, and some need to be maintained, but how to continue the cooperation also needs to be discussed by the team.

Today's Su Dong is no longer a simple professional player, he is one of the most shining golden signs in the global sports world, attracting countless resources to gather towards him, and his every move affects the interests of all aspects.

For example, the Sun newspaper's report not long ago directly published Su Dong. Even though it has been a while, until now, the media are still paying attention to the progress of Su Dong's mansion every day, and it has even affected the progress of the project.

Putting all of this aside, there is another very important thing, and that is Su Dong's personal treatment.

"The contract offered by Manchester City is very sincere, with an annual salary of 5000 million euros after tax. At the same time, they are willing to sign a contract with us similar to Bayern. It will last for five years, with a signing fee of 5000 million euros per year.

It can be seen that Mendes and Ma Dawei are very satisfied with the contract offered by Manchester City.

Among other things, just the annual salary and signing fee, Su Dong can take away [-] million euros from Manchester City every year.

what is this concept?

According to the latest Forbes ranking, the sportsman with the highest income is Tiger Woods, a golf superstar from the United States. If converted into euros, his income is about 8000 million euros.

Su Dong followed closely. His income at Bayern was slightly less than that of Tiger Woods, but Forbes could not find the specific income of Su Dong in the business field. For example, many sponsorship contracts were not included in it, so that Su Dong slightly lost to Tiger Woods all year round.

However, the rankings are like this, but every time Forbes will specifically mark that Su Dong's income figures do not include anything, so the whole world knows that Su Dong is actually the most profitable athlete in the world's sports.

But this time, with the Manchester City contract alone, Su Dong will completely get rid of Tiger Woods.

Next year's Forbes list, Su Dong will be at the top!
And if other income is added, the money Su Dong earns every year is an astronomical sum.

Su Dong's most obvious change in recent years is that his parents used to pay attention to his income, but now they basically don't pay attention. Now they just take the secondary card that Su Dong handled for them, look around for houses, buy houses everywhere, and spend money without mercy.

But it is really strange to say that the more houses are built, the more they buy, the higher the price.

Originally, Su Dong and Wang Chuqing were thinking that as long as the value could be preserved, it would be fine, but they didn't expect that the house price would keep rising. Su Dong's parents are now almost experts in buying houses, and they almost didn't write a house buying manual.

……

For the contract offered by Manchester City, not only Mendes and Ma Dawei are satisfied, but Su Dong also thinks it is very good.

Free transfer, generally speaking, the signing fee and annual salary will be higher, but Manchester City is a bit like a high-ranking Sudong. Naturally, they have to show more sincerity in terms of annual salary and signing fee.

Regarding this point, Su Dong didn't think there was any problem.

After taking Manchester City's money, he will play hard for Manchester City in the next step. This is his professionalism.

From Sporting Lisbon to Valencia, from Barcelona to Bayern Munich, and now Manchester City, Su Dong asked himself that he was worthy of every salary he received.

"Pepe's transaction is almost done, the transfer fee is 3000 million euros, and Marcelo is also allowed to transfer by Bayern Munich, worth about 500 million euros."

When he said this, Mendes changed the subject and let out a long sigh.

"However, in the transfer of Modric and Maicon, both Bayern Munich and Inter Milan refused. They both made it clear that they would not accept any offer from Manchester City. These two players are not for sale."

Su Dong was a little surprised.

Maicon was rejected, which is not a big deal, after all, Manchester City still has Zabaleta, which is barely available.

But Modric's rejection was somewhat unexpected.

Schweinsteiger played extremely bravely in the World Cup in South Africa and is a veritable core of the German team. Although Toni Kroos has not yet played the main force, his performance is also remarkable.

Shouldn't Bayern sell Modric at this time and support Toni Kroos?
