Mendes was extremely satisfied with this meal.
After the meal, Alyona took the initiative to wash the dishes and took Reed to the kitchen to help.
Leave room for Xia Xing and Mendes to talk.
Mendes looked at Alyona and patted Xia Xing on the shoulder: "This girl is really good, you have to take advantage of her."
Xia Xing: "Oh."
"Oh what, you are a guy who only thinks about football." Mendes said with a smile.
Xia Xing scratched his head in embarrassment.
Mendes looked at him helplessly: "You boy, you are really emotionally slow. Forget it, let's not talk about relationship issues, let's talk about the contract with you."
Xia Xing was stunned: "Huh? Hasn't the contract been signed? I'll leave all the responsibility to you. I don't worry, there will be no problem."
Mendes took out a copy of the contract from his bag and patiently explained it to Xia Xing.
"Although you don't care about these details and authorize me to handle it,
"But I must explain to you the details and the purpose of doing this.
"First of all, let's talk about the basic terms. The contract is for five years and the weekly salary is 40,000 euros.
"This amount is reasonable.
"In the current Leicester City team, apart from captain Morgan and vice-captain Schmeichel, you have the highest weekly salary.
"Even Vardy, Mahrez and Drinkwater are earning the same weekly salary as you.
"Leicester City is very interested in offering such a contract.
"Not only is it worthy of you, but it can also balance the team's overall salary structure.
"No matter what, They can't let you surpass the captain when you first come here, it won't be a good thing for you.
"The five-year contract period is relatively reasonable, and the team can confidently and boldly build a tactical system with you as the core.
"I actually didn't fight for any of these, they were all proposed by Leicester City, which shows that they value you very much.
"But there is a special clause that I strongly demand.
"I just added a minimum termination clause for you.
"In this transfer transaction of yours,
"Manchester United added a buy-back clause, with the amount set at 30 million euros.
"Leicester City strongly opposed it, which even affected the progress of the transfer.
"Director of Football Jon Russ just said -
"In less than a season, we can raise xia's worth to 30 million!
" In the end, Leicester City and Manchester United reached an agreement of 50 million euros. "
Listening to Mendes' vivid narration, Xia Xing also laughed.
"I heard about it, but it wasn't as interesting as you described."
"Yes, and it's a matter between the two clubs. It doesn't have much to do with you. And even if Manchester United wants to buy back one day, it depends on whether you are willing or not, so money or not is not a problem. "
"Jorge, what are the special terms you are talking about?"
Mendez pointed to the penultimate page of the contract.
"Since Manchester United set a buy-back clause in the transfer, which is 50 million euros,
"then I will add a minimum release clause to your contract, which is also 50 million euros.
"If one day you have the opportunity to go to a better club and play on a bigger stage,
"Then Leicester City must let you go."
Hearing what Mendes said, Xia Xing nodded.
"It's good that you considered it carefully,
"This is a good Add-in.
"Actually, I also have this idea, but i don't have the nerve to bring it up directly.
"I am so grateful to Leicester City.
"They gave me the stage.
"But I don't plan to put all my future here.
"I hope there will be greater improvement in the future.
"I'm also looking forward to a different stage."
Looking at the determined Xia Xing, Mendes nodded approvingly.
"very good.
"You're much more mature than a lot of young people, which is good.
"If you want to be the best star, Leicester City is just your starting point, not your end."
"Come on, young man,
"I look forward to the day you take off!"
That night, Xia Xing chatted with Mendes for a long time.
It wasn't until Alyona and Reed went to rest that Mendes stood up to say goodbye.
"I'm going to Madrid tomorrow to take care of some things. If you have anything, please feel free to contact me."
"Okay, Jorge, I wish you the best."
Mendes walked out of the courtyard. There was a taxi parked at the door. He got in and waved goodbye to Xia Xing.
Xia Xing was startled: "Why don't you drive this new Mercedes-Benz in your yard?"
Mendes shrugged: "That's not mine, but a gift from me. Even Alyona and Reed have gifts, how could I miss yours? The car keys are placed next to the TV. Hope you enjoy the ride. Goodbye!
The taxi drove away, leaving Xia Xing alone.
A brand new Mercedes-Benz is estimated to cost about 100,000 euros.
For the previous xia xing, it was an astronomical figure.
But now he can buy one with one month's salary.
This is not counting the several commercial contracts Mendes is negotiating for him.
I found a really great agent...
After completely signing the contract, Xia Xing felt at ease.
It's already mid-July, and there are less than ten days left before the training camp.
Xia Xing went to Leicester City's training ground every day to give himself extra training.
He also made time to go to school and talk to his tutor about the coursework for the new semester.
The days passed like this.
After receiving the first week's salary of 40,000 euros, Xia Xing gave all the money to Alyona and Reed.
"What is it for?"
"It's the rent."
"Do you want to rent the whole house?"
Alyona didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Xia Xing explained: "I think many of the furniture and electrical appliances in the house need to be replaced. With the money, you can upgrade your home."
Reed took curled his lips: "I can tell, you don't like our simple little house anymore, right?"
Xia Xing: "You won't feel comfortable if you don't say a few words, right..."
Alyona was not polite: "I have accepted the 40,000 euros, and you don't have to worry about the family expenses later. Well, I will keep 20,000 euros and give 20,000 to Reed."
Aliona took 20,000 euros to upgrade the entire house.
Especially the simple courtyard was completely renovated and a small pavilion for enjoying the shade was added, which is quite Chinese-style.
This is specifically taking into account the feelings of Xia Xing.
And Reed's actions was even more exaggerated. After receiving 20,000 euros, he spent them all in one go.
Alyona: "You actually spent 20,000 euros on gambling?"
Reed: "Well, I bet 10,000 euros on Leicester City to become the Premier League champion next season, and 10,000 euros on Leicester City to become the Europa League champion next season. It just happened to be all spent."
Xia Xing: "Are you crazy? I heard about the odds of these two items. They are 5,000 to 1 and 2,000 to 1!"
Reed: "So, if I win, I will make a lot of money."
Xia Xing: "I can see that you have more confidence in Leicester City than I do..."
