At London's Heathrow Airport, despite being disguised, Su Dong was recognized by passengers on the spot.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the sharp eyesight of tourists and fans, but because Su Dong is too conspicuous.
With that height and figure, he would stand out anywhere.
And it was the hot summer, so Su Dong's disguise seemed too thin.
What's more, it's the World Cup right now, 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.
It was like this on the plane. When Su Dong appeared at Heathrow Airport, he was immediately surrounded by fans and passengers. Media reporters also quickly came after hearing the news, and the scene suddenly became a mess.
Even though he was already in the car that Mendes had arranged to pick him up and was on his way to the hotel, Su Dong felt his brain hurt whenever he thought of everything he had just seen at the airport.
too crazy!
The scene was very chaotic, and the fans shouted a lot, but the thing Su Dong said the most was that he was just returning to Europe from Johannesburg and did not come to the UK specifically.
This is obviously an explanation to fans and media reporters. As for whether they 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 seat of the car, Wang Chuqing said with a teasing smile.
The key is that Su Dong's figure is so conspicuous that he really can't hide it even if he wants to, especially now that there are so many fans at the airport.
This was the first time Su Dong felt the trouble caused by his height, but what could he do?
Is it possible to reverse growth and shrink back?
"Next time I'll wear a hood and won't take it off to see who can recognize me." Su Dong said with a smile.
Wang Chuqing chuckled and said, "Then others will wonder if you are a gangster who escaped halfway."
Just like in the movie, don't all gangsters wear hoods?
"Yes, yes, I am a thief, a flower picker." After saying that, he stared at Wang Chuqing with evil intentions.
Wang Chuqing's face turned red, and she gave him a charming look, reminding him that there was a driver in front of him, so he should speak more seriously.
She didn't mind how crazy the two of them were in private, but she was still quite aloof in front of others.
Su Dong suddenly became serious, "I listen to you and we will settle the accounts tonight."
Wang Chuqing was even more embarrassed, and her face seemed to be dripping with water.
…
The two arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in central London.
This hotel is right next to the world-famous top mansion, One Hyde Park.
After Su and Dong arrived, they got out of the car and entered. Someone would help deliver luggage and other items.
Soon, they went directly from the VIP channel to the luxury suite.
Both Mendes and Ma Dawei have been waiting for a long time.
"tanned."
When they saw Su Dong, both Mendes and Ma Dawei noticed the difference in him.
"Normally, after running in Africa for more than a month, going to Kenya to see the Great Migration of Animals, going to Egypt to see the pyramids, and running in pursuit of the World Cup in South Africa, how could I not get tan?" Su Dong didn't care.
It's interesting to say. I don't know if it's related to his personal physique, but Su Dong has tanned a lot, and he looks healthier.
But Wang Chuqing also followed Su Dong, and there was no lack of desert, sun exposure, etc., 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, and I had to go to South Africa to watch a World Cup, I wouldn't even be able to lift up my energy. If I had that time, I would rather lie at home, blow on the air conditioner, and enjoy
It’s a leisurely and comfortable little day.” Mendes said with a sigh.
Mendes looks glamorous and young, but in fact he is forty-four years old.
Once this man gets older, his physical strength and energy are not as good as before, and Mendes has often complained about this.
He even said that he often dyes his hair.
Don't get me wrong, he dyed his white hair black, otherwise, he would be embarrassed to come out and meet people.
Only Ma Dawei felt the deepest impression among those present. He was not yet forty, but his physical strength and energy were also far behind.
Su Dong was not surprised, because he had also heard of this, especially for professional players. When they reach the age of thirty, they basically get worse, and some are already declining before they reach thirty.
"How's it going? How's the progress?" After chatting, Su Dong talked about business with concern.
…
Ever 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 new home.
Real Madrid has never been Su Dong's first choice, not even within the selection range.
Manchester United has been in contact, but there has been no progress. Instead, it is Manchester City, which is the most sincere and closest to Su Dong.
The outside media analyzed many things very thoroughly and in-depth. Basically, apart from results, Manchester City was Sudong's best choice, 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 signed a contract with Su Dong because they valued Su Dong's performance in the Champions League. But if Su Dong can't play in the Champions League, how will they explain to the sponsors?
Before moving to Manchester City, you must first secure a sponsor.
According to reports from Mendes, Sudong's sponsors are basically loyal and did not choose to terminate the contract because he was unable to play in the Champions League after moving to Manchester City. However, Sudong was also asked to make a commitment, that is, within a certain period of time.
Return to the Champions League.
However, two or three cooperation deals that were being negotiated fell through because of this.
There is nothing that can be done about this, after all, what people value is Su Dong's performance in top competitions.
If you go to the Premier League, your exposure will definitely be higher, but if you miss the Champions League, the impact will not be small.
After securing sponsors, Su Dong's team still needs to make a series of cuts with Bayern.
There are too many entangled interests between the two parties, especially cooperation at the commercial level. Some need to be bought out, some can be terminated, and some need to be maintained. However, how to continue cooperation requires the team to discuss.
Today, Su Dong is no longer a simple professional player. He is the brightest golden brand in the global sports world, attracting countless resources to gather towards him. His every move affects the interests of all aspects.
For example, the Sun News report not long ago directly published Su Dong. Even though it has been a while, the media is still paying attention to the progress of Su Dong's mansion every day, and it has even affected the progress of the project.
.
Putting aside all of this, there is one 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 50 million euros after tax. At the same time, they are willing to sign a contract with us similar to Bayern, with a five-year term and an annual signing fee of 50 million euros, with a total price of 250 million euros.
Ten thousand euros, as well as all appearance fees, match bonuses, goal bonuses, etc., are all more generous than during the Bayern period."
It can be seen that both Mendes and Ma Dawei are very satisfied with the contract offered by Manchester City.
Not to mention anything else, Su Dong can take away 100 million euros from Manchester City every year in terms of annual salary and signing fee.
What is the concept?
According to Forbes' latest ranking, the highest-paid athlete in the sports world is golf superstar Tiger Woods from the United States. If converted into euros, his income is about 80 million euros.
Su Dong followed closely behind. His income at Bayern was slightly less than that of Tiger Woods. However, Forbes could not find Su Dong’s specific income in the commercial field. For example, many sponsorship contracts were not included, so Su Dong always lost slightly.
To Tiger Woods.
However, the ranking is like this, but every time Forbes will specifically mark that Su Dong's income figure does not include something, so the whole world knows that Su Dong is actually the most profitable athlete in the world.
But this time, with the Manchester City contract alone, Su Dong will completely get rid of Tiger Woods.
Next year's Forbes ranking, Su Dong will reach the top!
And if other incomes are included, the amount of money Su Dong earns every year is an astronomical figure.
The most obvious change in Su Dong's recent years is that his parents used to pay attention to his income, but now they basically don't. Now they just use the supplementary card Su Dong applied for them to look at houses and buy houses everywhere.
, spend money without mercy.
But it is really strange to say that the more houses are built, the more houses are bought and the price increases.
Originally, both Su Dong and Wang Chuqing were thinking that as long as they could preserve their value, they didn't expect that house prices kept rising. Su Dong's parents were now almost experts in buying houses, and they just didn't have time to write a house buying manual.
…
Not only Mendes and Ma Dawei are satisfied with the contract offered by Manchester City, but Su Dong also thinks it is very good.
In free transfers, generally speaking, the signing fee and annual salary will be higher, but Manchester City is a bit like trying to outdo Su Dong, and naturally they have to give more sincerity in terms of annual salary and signing fee.
Su Dong didn't think there was any problem with this.
After taking money from Manchester City, he will then play with all his heart for Manchester City. This is his professionalism.
From Sporting Lisbon to Valencia, from Barcelona to Bayern Munich, and now Manchester City, Su Dong asks himself whether he is worthy of every salary he receives.
"Pepe's deal is almost in progress, with a transfer fee of 30 million euros, and Marcelo has also been transferred to Bayern Munich and is worth around 25 million euros."
When he said this, Mendes changed the topic and let out a long sigh.
"However, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan both rejected the transfers of Modric and Maicon. 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, who is barely available.
But Modric's rejection was a bit unexpected.
Bastian Schweinsteiger played extremely bravely in the World Cup in South Africa and is the veritable core of the German team. Although Toni Kroos has not yet played the main role, his performance is also remarkable.
Shouldn't Bayern sell Modric at this time and support Toni Kroos?
