Chapter 37: Grigori
Bridges' invitation was so tempting!
The weekly job is just to follow the team to the game, analyze and observe the game, provide adjustment suggestions, and do nothing else, you can get 5,000 pounds a game, and you must have a high salary of more than 20,000 pounds a month on average.
Zhang Yang couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
If there is such a job in front of him, Lineker's invitation is nothing at all, even if the other party values him very much, he still looks at the work situation when he goes to the headquarters, and in addition, he has not yet thought about whether to develop in the direction of football program hosts, and there are too many issues to consider.
With this job in front of him, he didn't even need to think about it.
When he returned to the office, Zhang Yang shared the news with Andy as soon as possible, and Andy opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Is there such a good thing?" ”
Zhang Yang shrugged, "I also think it's amazing!" ”
"Could it be a liar?"
"But he's definitely Bridges, the current head coach of Queens Park Rangers."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I watched him for two hours yesterday, not watching the game," Zhang Yang remembered the other party'......s 'stealing ability' approach, and still hated it.
"Well, if there is such a job, I can't think of a reason to say no." Andy said.
"I can't think of it either."
The two were silent for a moment.
Zhang Yang suddenly said, "That's it, Andy, please go to the Rangers Club with me at noon, just know if it's true or not, that club is in East London, not far away." ”
"But I'll go, is it suitable?"
Zhang Yang said, "How is it not suitable!" From now on, you are my broker. If it happens, I'll pay you a 5% commission, how about it? ”
"Five percent? You're so stingy! ”
Andy complained, and suddenly counted with his fingers, "Five thousand pounds for one game, fifty thousand pounds for ten games, and forty games for a season, then it is ...... Five percent ......"
"Ten thousand pounds!" Zhang Yang rolled his eyes.
Andy grinned in surprise, "Ten thousand pounds? It seems to be! Ten thousand pounds, that's three or four months' salary! Are you sure? Sheet! ”
"Pretty sure!"
"Then it's decided!" Andy was happier than flamboyant.
Zhang Yang also smiled.
If he can really have this kind of work, he really needs an agent to negotiate, otherwise he won't know about the big contract.
Andy happens to be good at doing this.
He is a handyman in the foreign media department, responsible for interviewing and photography, translating news, and also 'part-time' half of a legal adviser, he seems to be proficient in everything.

Queens Park Rangers Club.
Zhang Yang and Andy arrived at the door together, and after explaining their intentions, they were soon welcomed into a small conference room by a staff member.
The two waited for more than ten minutes, Bridges rushed over, and he shook hands with Zhang Yang warmly, "Zhang, I knew you would come, I think too, you have no reason to refuse." ”
"yes, I can't think of a reason."
After that, Zhang Yang helped introduce Andy, explaining that he was his 'agent'.
Bridges was very surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Yang to have an agent, he seemed a little nervous for a while, that kind of strange reaction made Zhang Yang suddenly start to doubt, he asked, "Are the conditions still the ones you said in the morning?" ”
"Of course!"
Bridges patted his chest and reassured, only to let Zhang Yang relax a little.
After a few minutes, a fat manager walked in, Bridges introduced that it was 'Clark', Clark was not very enthusiastic, he just took out a contract and handed it to Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang flipped it a few times, and handed it to Andy.
Andy looked closely.
During this period, Bridges was obviously a little nervous, and Zhang Yang began to follow carefully, and soon the two found a problem.
Andy pointed to one and asked Bridges, "What's going on here?" Invite Zhang to be an assistant coach, but the salary is the lowest standard in the London Region? ”
"Zhang is mainly a game coach, and he doesn't have to work on weekdays, which is just an extra benefit." Bridges explained.
That's in the past.
"But what about here? Why is it 'an additional £5,000 prize for every match that Zhang participates in and wins'? Andy found the key.
Everyone looked at Bridges.
Bridges was embarrassed to speak, and Clark said, "We asked Zhang to be an assistant coach so that he could help the team win, and if the team didn't win, we had no reason to pay." ”
"But that's not what it says!"
"I don't know what Bridges said, but that's what Mr. Palatine meant. Come to think of it, it's a lot to get five thousand pounds for a winning game, and to get paid on a weekday, I can't think of a better job. Clarke's words were a little frivolous.
Zhang Yang frowned.
Andy asked, "Is there still a contract to be negotiated?" ”
Clark shrugged.
"Let's go!" Zhang Yang left with Andy with a gloomy face.
Bridges behind him was very annoyed, this was the best condition he negotiated with Palatine and obtained, he hoped to sign the contract in a vague way, and then he would have an additional 'match instructor'.
Five thousand pounds for a winning game is not much, and no one in the club has anything to say, but what they didn't expect was that the other party actually found an agent.

Zhang Yang and Andy returned to the BBC branch together, and when they talked about it along the way, he could only say with a wry smile, "I should have thought that I didn't have such a good job!" ”
Andy also complained, "I thought it was impossible from the beginning! It's a pity, my 10,000 pounds a year! ”
"I'd better settle down and go to the BBC headquarters in the afternoon!" Zhang Yang sighed.
"Speaking of which, I'm even more jealous, you seem to have a lot of jobs to choose from. Even if it's not bad, a team will win a few games, and your income will be outstanding. ”
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "You can't just look at the salary, there is no future, I can mix until May next year, but even Bridges' job may not be kept, and I can only leave at that time." ”
"That's right."
The two quickly returned to the branch building.
At the top of the stairs, a black security guard suddenly stopped Zhang Yang, "You are Zhang Yang, right?" Your Weibo is called 'Personality Publicity'? You must be, I'm your fan, I follow you, and I listen to your show! ”
"My pleasure!"
Zhang Yang was a little surprised.
"But it's not my business now." The security guard pointed to the figure sitting on the other side of the hall, "That guy is looking for you, he's been waiting here for an hour." ”
"Who is he?"
"It's called Gligory, but I don't know what it does."
Zhang Yang thanked the security guard, walked over with Andy, and when he walked in, he found that it was an old man with a wrinkled face, and he must be over fifty years old.
"Mr. Grigori?" Zhang Yang walked in and shouted.
Grigory raised his head and saw the two approaching, he immediately stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand, "You're Zhang, right?" I heard that you are Chinese. Just call me Grigory. ”
The two shook hands.
Zhang Yang introduced Andy.
After a few pleasantries, Gregory explained his intentions, "I would like to invite you to be an assistant coach at Millwall. ”
"Me? Assistant coaches? ”
Zhang Yang's expression was a little exaggerated, he and Andy looked at each other, no matter how they thought about it, they felt unreliable, they had just seen an unreliable contract.
"Any questions?"
Gligory was surprised by the two's reaction.
"Nothing." Andy reacted first, he asked, "Why did you come to invite Zhang?" He doesn't direct the team and I don't think he can help the professional team. ”
"No, you're wrong." Grigory shook his head and said, "I've listened to Zhang's show, and his analysis of the game is incredible!" If you insist on saying this, you must not know much about Zhang. ”
Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed by the praise, "Okay, Mr. Grigory, this is not a good place to talk. ”
"I think so."
The three went to the small office of the Foreign Media Department.
During the lunch break, the corridors were quiet, and Gregory walked in and formally introduced himself, "I'm Millwall's current chairman. ”
Zhang Yang and Andy immediately looked up at him.
Bridges is just a head coach, and he seems to be very powerful to say, but in fact, he is a working boy, and he is the president of a club in front of him, and he must have a lot of power.
Grigori continued: "I think your analysis of the game will be very helpful for us to go into the league, so I have invited you to be the assistant coach of Millwall, and the main job is to assist the head coach, judge the game and make some constructive adjustments. ”
It's a similar idea to Bridges.
Zhang Yang said, "How is the treatment?" You know, I work at the BBC and I can't think of a reason to leave if it's not attractive enough. ”
Grigory smiled.
