Chapter 184: Working in Collusion

Before Gao Xiaodong had time to call Mendes, Mendes came to Gao Xiaodong's house.

Mendes is now the monkey's boss. Seeing Mendes coming to the door, the monkey quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Mr. Jorge."

Xiao Le also stood up and said, "Mr. Jorge is here."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "You are here, I was going to find you."

Mendes nodded at Houzi and Xiao Le, and said to Gao Xiaodong: "Xiaodong, where is your study, let's talk in the study."

Gao Xiaodong spread his hands, "I don't have a study room, come to my bedroom and let that old fox Costa pay the rent. Do you think he is so generous, it would be nice if he can squeeze the three of us out."

Entering Gao Xiaodong's spacious and comfortable suite, Mendes was stunned for a moment, and said leisurely: "Chairman Costa saw such a bedroom, if he knew that you said he was stingy, I would probably come over and beat you up right away."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about going back to Porto, what are the rumors on the Internet?"

Mendes smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, it can't be completely regarded as a rumor. Rumors are often prophecies that are too advanced."

Gao Xiaodong said: "So Porto really plans to take me back during the winter break."

Mendes said: "Chairman Costa has this plan and told me. Because I have some investigations to do, I didn't tell you in the first place."

Gao Xiaodong asked strangely: "Why didn't you tell me directly, what is there to investigate?"

Mendes was speechless, co-authoring this kid thought that our managers were freeloaders. Just at this moment, Monkey and Xiao Le came to deliver coffee and fruit plates. Mendes said: "Hou, Xiaodong asked me to investigate before transfers. What, you tell him."

Maybe Mendes just said it casually, but Mendes is the boss, so that is the exam. Monkey hurriedly said seriously: "We need to investigate the club's development prospects, financial situation, technical and tactical style of play and the employer. The team How many players are competing with their employers, what are their characteristics, whether our employers can become the main players, whether they have development prospects and money prospects, and so on. "

Monkey spoke Chinese, Xiao Le translated, and Mendes nodded repeatedly. A newcomer who has only been here for three months, is so familiar with the business, and has a good understanding of people. It seems that Gao Xiaodong really did not recommend it randomly.

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head when he heard that,

It turned out that this brokerage company has a lot of business, he said with a smile: "You are fooling me again, you have cooperated with Porto for many years, you still don't know their background."

Seeing Houzi and Xiao Le leading the door out, Mendes said seriously: "The situation is different now. You have heard about the final whistle incident. I don't know the specific decision and impact yet, but it will not be until the final decision. too long."

Gao Xiaodong was very eager to return to Porto at first, because there are championships to be won, and the annual salary is high. Hearing what Mendes said, he felt worried, and said: "I have heard about the final whistle incident, but I don't know much about it. Not many."

Mendez said: "This is an anti-corruption investigation in football started by the Portuguese police on April 20, 2004, code-named "Golden Whistle". Including the then president of the Portuguese Professional League Lureiro and the chairman of the Football Association Referee Committee De Sousa, Chairman Costa was also summoned, but no evidence was found and he was released."

Gao Xiaodong was very speechless, and said: "It's been more than three years, and I haven't found out yet. In our country, it will be clear in three months."

Mendes said: "It's not that easy. Hundreds of people have been involved in this matter, and dozens of bribery cases have been involved. The speed in three years has been very fast."

Gao Xiaodong said solemnly: "Mr. Mendes, what impact will this have on Porto? Chairman Costa will be fine?"

Mendes said: "No one dares to say this, but according to the usual practice, this kind of situation is nothing less than deducting points, fines, relegation, and imprisonment."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Isn't this nonsense. Which one do you think is more likely?"

Mendes spread his hands helplessly, and said: "It's really hard to say, even if the judge himself is hard to say, evidence will often come out now, even if the judge says nothing, if suddenly there is evidence that Porto bribed the referee, Porto will There is a possibility of relegation and President Costa is going to jail."

Gao Xiaodong was taken aback and said, "No way, Porto is the best team in Portugal."

Mendes said: "What's the use of that, everyone is equal before the law."

Gao Xiaodong gasped, and said: "So there is still a certain risk in going back to Porto. If I go back during the winter break and Porto is relegated, I will cry to someone."

Mendes said: "Before the case is finalized, there must be risks. That's why I didn't tell you for a long time. I just wanted to investigate this matter clearly, but now it seems that it is very difficult to investigate clearly."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Since there is a risk, I'd better stay in Lexus. Anyway, we are now ranked second. If Porto is relegated, I will have a place to stay in Lexos, maybe And still play in the Champions League."

Mendes said: "Let's talk about it later, anyway, the winter break has not started yet, and there is still a long time until the winter transfer window closes, so don't rush to make a decision. It is not a complicated transfer between you and Porto, it is a loan. Players who have come out can go back anytime as long as they want to."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Well, you're right, it's useless to think too much, but this matter must be dealt with now, and now there are rumors on the Internet that I will return to Porto in the winter transfer, and we are going to play Porto in the next round, this is not wavering Military spirit? I still want to play a good game with Porto."

Mendes smiled and said: "I knew you were holding back your energy and wanted to play Porto. Whether you return to Porto or not, at this stage, you must assure the fans that you will not return to Porto, so that they can rest assured."

Gao Xiaodong said: "I promise it's over. If I really go back to Porto during the winter break, it's not just breaking my promise and gaining weight."

Mendes smiled slightly and said: "You don't need to say this, I will say this for you. When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether you go back or not. Anyway, you didn't say it yourself. There is always room for maneuver."

Gao Xiaodong nodded repeatedly, and said, "I'll give you a 10% cut of the transfer fee. You really need to be the scapegoat."

Mendes didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It turns out that the manager blocked the knife for you."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "It's your honor to stand up for your employer. Mr. Mendes, where do you think this rumor came from? Is it Chairman Costa?"

Mendes said: "It's hard to say, it may be the tactics played by Porto coach Ferreira before the war, which made Rexos' army unstable and made you unmotivated to play, or it may be that Rexos fans like you too much , and I'm too worried about you leaving, I hope to force you to express your opinion in this way."

Gao Xiaodong was speechless, it seems that there are some crazy fans in foreign countries. "Regardless of whether I return to Porto or not, I must fight well in this top game against Porto. You should deal with the rumor of my return as soon as possible, so as not to affect the emotions of my teammates."

Mendes said: "Don't worry, I will hold a press conference when I get back to refute the rumors."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Okay, and you should pay more attention to the case of Jin Whistle."

Mendes said: "Don't worry, I have been investigating it for more than three years, and I will tell you as soon as I have accurate information."

After discussing with Gao Xiaodong, Mendes and Gao Xiaodong left. Gao Xiaodong lay on the bed and thought about it for a while, and felt that it would not be of much use to just hold a press conference to refute the rumors, so Gao Xiaodong called Hou Zi and Xiao Le over and asked them to sit in To create momentum on the Internet, he said that he did not intend to return to Porto, and that he wanted to stay at Rexos, at least to finish playing for Rexos this season.

The monkey said: "How much energy can the two of us have? Who will listen to us? We are not familiar with this network, and we are not famous people, or..."

Gao Xiaodong interjected: "As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. If you are rewarded with great rewards, there must be a brave man. If you don't have the strength, you just spend money to find someone. Whoever posts a post to like me, you will give him a euro. Minute."

The monkey laughed and said: "You fat man, I want a dollar with me. Sister Xiaole and I went to Huiwang and found that there is no navy in foreign countries, and it is called a 50-cent navy in China. Let's do a euro split in Portugal." Army."

Gao Xiaodong smirked and said, "Yeah, it's time to correctly guide European fans to love Rexos and Gao Xiaodong, monkey, Miss Xiaole, it's up to you."

Xiao Le looked at the two wretched guys and was extremely speechless. No wonder the little fat man wanted to bring this skinny monkey to Europe. (To be continued.)
