Restricted Superstar

In mid-June, Chen Qiang hurried back to China, which also meant that Gao Xiaodong's leisurely vacation was over.

As Gao Xiaodong's reputation in the country became more and more famous, in the middle of last season, he began to be favored by some merchants, especially in Lucheng, where many merchants wanted to find Gao Xiaodong as an endorsement.

It's just that Huaguo football is not only poor in level, but also has a bad image. Even Sun Huahai, the most successful overseas player, has not many merchants willing to ask them to endorse him. Gao Xiaodong is not a super handsome man, so naturally he is no exception. Please The merchants he endorsed are all small merchants and small businesses that are not well-known.

As an agent who has been in Europe for many years, Chen Qiang still has a good vision. He thinks that Gao Xiaodong has a bright future. Appropriate merchants, no matter how high or low the price, were rejected.

But this time, Chen Qiang had no choice but to come back. There were two first-tier domestic sporting goods companies planning to ask Gao Xiaodong to be their image endorsement. These two sporting goods companies had a good reputation and strength, and they were very suitable for players like Gao Xiaodong.

What? You said that Stellar Company and Uber Company want me to be the image endorsement? Stellar Company has never invited a football player to endorse it, right? Gao Xiaodong was a little surprised. Uber is a new generation, but Stellar Company is a famous company in Lu Province. It is definitely a first-tier brand in China. Stellar football shoes used to be the favorite of the older generation of fans. Gao Xiaodong did not expect such a company to ask him to endorse them.

Chen Qiang just drove thousands of miles to Gao Xiaodong's house, sat down and took a sip of the Longjing brewed by Gao's father, and said, Yes, Xiaodong, the national football has been badly rated these years, and no one in the entire Super League has a personal commercial contract. It is really not easy for you to be favored by such two companies, if you can seize the opportunity, get the advertising endorsement, and after you become famous, more and more merchants will seek your endorsement in the future.

Gao Xiaodong said, How much is the endorsement fee?

Chen Qiang said: Stellar's three-year investment is 1.5 million, and Uber's three-year investment is 2 million.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, Can you sign them all?

Chen Qiang said: No, these two companies are both engaged in sporting goods, but they are both looking for you to make sneakers. They cannot be signed at the same time. Before 2000, there was a situation where they endorsed multiple products of the same category at the same time, but it is no longer possible.

Gao Xiaodong said: Which one of these two will you choose? Should you choose the one with a higher price?

Chen Qiang said: It's hard to say. Xingxing is a decades-old brand with strong strength. Although it is a little bit downhill now, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the market share is still very high. Moreover, it is an enterprise in your Lu province. If you do the endorsement, the name is justified and the effect will be better. Uber is a company in Fujian Province.

They have only been in business for six or seven years, and they barely entered the top line in the past two years. However, their boss is ambitious and has a strong upward momentum, and is willing to pay a high price.

Gao Xiaodong said: Are they coming to Lucheng or should we go there?

Chen Qiang said: Of course they are the ones who came to Lucheng, they are the ones who are looking for you to endorse, not us looking for them, you have no shortage of advertisers.

Gao Xiaodong complained: In the past half a year, how much have you pushed me, how much is it, just replace it, it's words, it's not salt, and it's still tiring.

Chen Qiang said: Can you also endorse for Kidney Treasure, toilet paper and medicine? They are not big brands. If you really want to endorse for money, it may be a black spot in the future.

Gao Xiaodong's face turned green, and he said, What the hell, do I really need these? Why not such fashionable things as watches and sunglasses.

Chen Qiang couldn't help laughing, and said: It's a good business to find you now. Not to mention strong strength, it is close to your profession. We must seize this opportunity.

Gao Xiaodong said: That's necessary, but the money is a little less. If it's 2 million euros, I can do whatever I want. It's fine to lie on the ground and learn how to bark like a dog.

Chen Qiang's face also turned green, and he said, Eldest young master, you dare to think about it, the most outstanding star in our country has just reached this number, let alone your current fame.

At this time, Father Gao came in and said, Mr. Chen, the food is ready. They are all local specialties you want to eat, and there is also ancient canal wine.

Chen Qiang was overjoyed when he heard that, rolled up his sleeves, and said eagerly: Uncle Gao, you know, ever since I ate spicy chicken at your house, I have been thinking about it day and night, and now I can finally eat it to my heart's content.

Gao's father didn't understand the meaning of eating big and said, Chop fish in big pieces? Yes, don't worry, Mr. Chen. The stewed fish cubes in pot stickers are made of canal carp. Don't think their reputation is not as good as fish heads with chopped peppers. The taste is delicious. Not bad at all.

Chen Qiang was stunned, but he came to his senses immediately, and said with a smile, Yes, yes, okay, Uncle Gao, let's eat now.

After a while, Gao's mother served ten dishes, including spicy chicken, spicy celery, fish cubes with pot stickers, and mutton soup.

Chen Qiang couldn't hold it back for a moment, and picked up a chopstick of spicy chicken, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, closed his eyes, savored it beautifully, and said: It tastes so good, Uncle and Aunt Gao, just rely on You guys entertained me with such delicious food, next time I will definitely take you on a trip to Europe to watch Xiaodong compete.

Mother Gao spoke quickly and said, Then we can't go.

Gao's father stepped on Gao's mother in a hurry, and said: We don't have time to go to Europe, the store at home can't be closed.

Chen Qiang laughed dumbly and said, Uncle Gao, I still use you to sell seafood now, do you know how much Xiaodong's annual salary is now?

Father Gao was stunned for a moment, and said, How much?

Gao Xiaodong touched Chen Qiang and said, Mom and Dad, my salary has been raised again, 200,000 euros a year.

How did Gao's father and Gao's mother know about exchange rates, and asked, How much is two hundred thousand euros?

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, About 2 million RMB.

what?!

Two million RMB!

Gao's father and Gao's mother were stunned, they couldn't believe their ears at all.

In Lucheng, an ordinary employee of a public institution only earns 1,300 to 400 yuan a month, but Gao Xiaodong actually said that he earns 2 million yuan a year, which is simply unbelievable.

Afraid that his parents would faint, Gao Xiaodong hurriedly said, This is 2 million RMB before tax, and a 42% personal tax must be paid.

Father Gao woke up with a sound, and said, What? You have to pay a 42% personal tax? Doesn't that mean you have to pay 840,000?

Gao Xiaodong said: Yes.

Father Gao said angrily: It's too dark! The capitalist country is really too dark! Is it easy for players to work hard and play football? Socialism is better.

Chen Qiang coughed and said, We in Huaguo charge a 45% personal tax.

what!

what!

Father Gao sighed, The world is as black as crows. We ordinary people earn some hard-earned money. They don't do anything, so they just take half of it.

Gao's mother said: Don't go for the money, it's more than one million a year, not a lot, and I will work with you for a lifetime.

Only then did Father Gao come back happily, and said, That's right, you can't think about unhappy things, it's a good thing, but, Mr. Chen, is this true? Xiaodong isn't telling the truth.

This time he didn't tell the truth either, Chen Qiang secretly laughed in his heart, but said: Can I not tell you the truth?

Father Gao sighed, He is more honest with outsiders than with his father.

When Chen Qiang heard this, he was speechless.

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: Outsiders are more generous to me than you.

Father Gao said angrily: If this is really the case, you will starve to death long ago, and you will be too fat to walk.

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: I am fat because of my talent, drinking cold water and northwest wind will make me fat.

Father Gao said: You bastard, you mean that I gave birth to a monster, and I will beat you to death.

Gao Xiaodong said: Kill him to death, die early and reincarnate early, be a rich second generation, eat, drink, whore, gamble, bully men and women, how good it is, alas, being a rich generation is hard work.

Father Gao stared and said, Boy, are you saying your father is incompetent?

Gao Xiaodong said with a grin: No way, at least you have a powerful son.

Chen Qiang was worried that Gao's father would be angry, but Gao's father laughed, and said triumphantly: If your kid hadn't inherited my genes, you would be here today, and your father was born at a bad time, so he set up a stall to sell seafood. Otherwise, it’s not necessarily worse than you.”

Dad, I was defeated by you. Gao Xiaodong clasped his hands together as if admitting defeat.

I rub it, this is a wonderful father and son. Chen Qiang almost laughed.

After talking and joking, everyone drank and chatted happily. In the end, Father Gao and Chen Qiang were both drunk in the smell of wine and vegetables in the canal. (to be continued)).
