The Argentine Football Association's Formal Invitation? The Choice for the Youth World Cup?

"Damn it, fine, I'll give you some face!"

"Sixty thousand, no less. Su is still a kid. He came to Germany all alone, Borussia Dortmund should show him more care!"

"Don't make a sound, Hayden. I don't want us falling out over ten thousand euros!"

"A weekly salary of sixty thousand, and Su's image rights—let's make this clear in advance. Fifty percent!"

"Oh, and the contract is for three years. Not a year more!"

"If you don't agree, I'll leave immediately. With Raiola's reputation, I'm sure plenty of clubs would agree to these terms to sign Su!"

"And Atletico Madrid hasn't given up either. Simeone is practically drooling over Su!"

Hayden could only watch helplessly as Raiola rattled on by himself.

He didn't argue back!

He knew everything Raiola said was true.

"Fine!!"

"Fine!!!"

"Dear Mino, we'll do as you say!"

"Haha, Hayden, you old bastard. How about that girl you mentioned just now? Can she really hang from a rope and move by herself?"

"Damn it, Mino, you're a goddamn vampire!!!"

And just like that!

Su Bai's first contract with Borussia Dortmund was finalized.

A weekly salary of sixty thousand euros, a three-year contract, and a series of bonuses, such as goal incentives.

Under Mino's iron tongue, Borussia Dortmund gave the green light all the way.

Mino even secured Su Bai a luxury villa.

Of course, it was only for Su Bai to live in, not a gift.

In short, Mino Raiola's arrival earned Su Bai a contract that was absolutely a dream come true for a newcomer.

Meanwhile, at the medical center.

Su Bai lay naked inside Borussia Dortmund's scanner.

This thing was practically standard equipment for Europe's top clubs these days.

After a five-minute examination, virtually every piece of data about Su Bai's body was laid bare.

"This guy is a freak!"

Stiem, the head of the medical examination department, stared at Su Bai's freshly produced test results.

"6.9%!!!"

"That body fat percentage is terrifying. He doesn't look that bulky, but his body is all muscle!"

"His muscle mass is 52%!"

"That's insane!"

"If you've watched footage of his matches, you wouldn't be surprised by numbers like these at all!"

Seeing even the well-traveled Stiem make such an expression, Phyllis, standing beside him, replied with a smile.

After the medical examination ended, Phyllis took Su Bai through all kinds of physical tests.

It wasn't until six o'clock.

That Borussia Dortmund finally finished all the tests.

Raiola had also wrapped up the negotiations.

Raiola took out the contract template and handed it to Su Bai.

"A weekly salary of sixty thousand. That's acceptable. You've only just arrived, after all. Play a few matches and put in some good performances, and I'll renegotiate with them right away."

"A three-year contract, with a fifty-million buyout clause. Not bad!"

Su Bai was stunned!

This...

This was fucking outrageous.

He was just a newcomer, yet Borussia Dortmund had directly offered him a weekly salary of sixty thousand, which meant an annual salary of three million euros.

This... was this Mino Raiola's power?

If he had handled it himself, honestly, he would have thought an annual salary of five hundred thousand was already pretty good.

But this was directly three million.

And it was only a three-year contract.

Three years from now, he would only be nineteen, right?

With the system, he did not dare imagine what he would become in three years.

"Oh, right! Su, you won't need to stay in a hotel tonight. Hayden found you a villa. Well, it's the one Götze used to live in. It belongs to the club, and I've already sent people to clean it up. You can move in tonight!"

"Thank you, Mr. Mino!"

"Haha, what are you thanking me for? So, are you satisfied?"

"Yeah!"

"By the way, shouldn't the two of us sign an agency contract as well?"

"Of course, Mr. Mino!"

And just like that!

Su Bai and Mino signed an agent contract inside Borussia Dortmund's headquarters.

When it came to Mino's commission, he still firmly insisted on taking only 8%.

It was not because Mino was particularly kind-hearted. In his eyes, the young man before him possessed the same potential as Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi.

For players with that level of top-tier talent, a pleasant working relationship was far more reliable than a contract written on paper.

Of course, in Mino's view, even that 8% would earn him quite a lot.

This kid was Chinese, after all. Behind him stood the incomparable Chinese market.

As long as it was developed properly, there was countless gold waiting to be found there.

Eight o'clock in the evening, local time in Germany!

Borussia Dortmund's official website updated with a new announcement.

<Borussia Dortmund Sign Former Boca Juniors Star Su Bai!>

Below the announcement was a highlight reel of Su Bai's goals for Boca.

Those shots, each one embodying violent aesthetics to the utmost degree, instantly filled countless Dortmund fans with anticipation for the new season.

Meanwhile, in China.

At that very moment, the Chinese Football Association also held a press conference announcing that China's U-20 national team had begun preparations for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Thanks to his outstanding performance in the Chinese Football Association's overseas player recruitment program, Zhu received a promotion and was entrusted with greater responsibilities during the new leadership reshuffle.

After properly greasing all the right wheels, he became deputy director of the Chinese Football Association.

And the department under his authority just so happened to oversee the national team, the U-20 national team, and a series of other competitions.

The only slight regret was that Hua Chengyu, the superstar he had brought back from Boca, was having some trouble adjusting.

He had been left out of the latest U-20 training camp due to diarrhea.

Of course!

Diarrhea was not the real reason.

It was because the U-20 team had only discovered during training that this so-called Boca star could do nothing but flashy tricks.

On the pitch, he was not even as good as the substitute players from China's youth squads.

Worst of all, videos of him repeatedly screwing up during practice matches had been anonymously leaked.

For a time!

Chinese fans went crazy once again.

Both were Boca stars.

One had been signed by Borussia Dortmund, with an annual salary of three million laid out right in front of everyone!

And the other had diarrhea?

Countless fans once again stormed the Chinese Football Association's official website.

With a wave of his hand, Zhu directly shut down all comment functions on the official website. At the same time, in order to cover up the only blemish on his glorious résumé, he had already informed every youth squad not to mention Boca or any Boca wonderkids in front of him in the future.

Especially Su Bai, who had just transferred to Borussia Dortmund!

Nine o'clock that night.

Su Bai finally arrived at the villa not far from Dortmund.

After all, it was a place Götze had once lived in.

It had everything: a swimming pool, a small football pitch, a gym!

Looking at the villa that Raiola had already arranged to be cleaned, Su Bai could not help but sigh.

This was what a top-tier agent was like.

It seemed that all he had to do was play football well.

After taking a shower, Su Bai went to bed early.

Starting tomorrow, he would have to join Borussia Dortmund's training camp.

But he had barely lain down.

When his phone rang.

It was that guy Raiola calling.

"Mr. Mino?"

"Su! How is it? Settling in alright?"

"Pretty well, Mino!"

"Haha, call me if you need anything. In Europe, I've still got a bit of influence. Oh, right—the Argentine Football Association called me. They want to invite you to join Argentina's youth national team for this year's Youth World Cup!"

"Hm?"

The Youth World Cup?

The Argentine Football Association?

This...

"I think you should join. The Youth World Cup is very important for raising your profile, and Argentina has a very good chance of winning it."

"Of course, you can also join China's youth national team if you want. You'd have to prepare for the next Youth World Cup there, but it would also do a lot to boost your commercial value!"

"Still, whichever side you choose now, it's not a problem. It's only the youth team. You can still choose later when it comes to the senior national team!"
