Chapter Ninety-Six: Invitation to the Cocktail Party
Kevin Tagore is helping Wansheng negotiate a new contract with Derby County FC, even if there is no objection from both sides, this will not be finalized immediately, and there will still be some discussions on details such as salary and years.
This did not affect Wansheng's work, and the training in Derby County was still the same, with no changes in individual training, tactical training, preparation for games, etc.
On 16 December, Derby County travelled to New York Stadium to take on home side Rotherham.
Derby County were still in good form, winning the game 3-1, with Rotherham's only goal coming in stoppage time at full-time, when Derby waited for the game to be over and allowed Rotherham to score a face-saving goal.
In the locker room after the game, Wan Sheng criticized the players on the field, "You should play seriously until the last moment, as long as the game is not over, we can't relax!" ”-
Excellent-Excellent-Small-Say-More-New-Most-Fast-www.uuxs.cc-Captain Marcus lowered his head, and that ball had a lot to do with Marcus's carelessness.
Although the two-goal victory, Wan Sheng is more concerned about the attitude of the players than the final result, "I hope you can keep this lesson firmly in mind, if we are one goal ahead, this game will be a draw for the opponent, fortunately, the table in front of you is good, we scored three goals!" ”
After speaking, he praised the table of several players, including Ribery who assisted twice, and Ivan Crewe, who scored a goal, "Everyone's table is very good, win this game, we can have a happy Christmas!" ”
It's also the last race before Christmas.
After summarizing the game in the locker room, Wan Sheng went to attend the press conference, and by the time he arrived there it was already a little late, but there were still many reporters waiting there.
Wan Sheng looked at the reporters in the audience and only said one sentence, "I'm sorry, we won again, and Derby's decline is estimated to start with the next game." ”
The reporters in the audience itched their teeth.
But Wan Sheng didn't have time to fight with them, and after saying this sentence and answering two questions a little, he left the press conference directly, and then took the whole team back to the town of Great Derby.
After the team was disbanded, Wan Sheng went to accompany his mother and uncle, because they were going back to China the next day.
Before leaving, Wan Sheng talked to Uncle about his business, and he asked, "Are you going to do this all the time?" ”
"What?" Wan Baoming didn't quite understand.
"I mean, uncle, do you have any plans to do something else, such as expanding your business and making some investments?"
Hearing Wan Sheng's words, Wan Baoming came to his senses, he always wanted to do something else, but there was no good way, "Wan Sheng, do you have anything to build?" ”
"I started an investment company with my friends." Wan Sheng explained, "There is still a shortage of manpower, uncle, you can go in and study for a period of time, and it will also be in line with international standards, and you can give Kevin a hand in the future, which must be more than what you earn now." ”
"You mean to make me work in the UK?" Wan Baoming was puzzled, he had never thought of this.
"What are you afraid of, uncle, you are divorced now, and you have no family, you can still wander outside at your age. I can't guarantee anything else, but I opened this investment company, and I can guarantee that it can make money, and you can work in it for a few years, and you can also make some investments according to the wind, and you can become a big boss when you return to China. ”
Wan Baoming was moved by what he said.
He has always wanted to expand his business, but it is not easy to do any business in China, and his annual income is limited, hundreds of thousands of incomes, which is much better than ordinary people, but it is still much worse than the real rich.
If there is a chance to develop abroad, not to mention anything else, the experience will definitely increase a lot, in fact, whether to make money or not, Wan Baoming is not too concerned, his biggest regret until now, is that he did not go to school, and later learn something by himself, it is not as good as the education background, he always wants to learn something, but the environmental impact makes him unable to do many things he wants to do.
If you come to work in the UK, don't say anything else, your English will definitely be very good for a few years, which is also a very useful ability, and it is also an investment company opened by Wansheng, and you go in and work with Wansheng's classmates, he has met Kevin Tagore, who is a very educated and temperamental young man, not to mention anything else, just the two stand together, the difference in temperament is clear at a glance, he and Wansheng are really people with a higher elite education, Working with such a person, maybe you can also improve your temperament, and you will be a real cultural person after returning to China.
Wan Baoming thought about it a lot, but it was not a trivial matter, and he couldn't decide it for the time being.
He still plans to return to China first, think about it and then give Wansheng an answer.
"No problem." Wan Sheng said, "Uncle, just tell me when you think about it." ”
Wan Sheng actually really considered arranging the uncle into his own investment company, one is the relationship between the two who grew up, the relationship between the uncle and him has always been very good, and he has always taken care of him, and now that he has the ability, he should also help the uncle; The second is that Uncle is indeed a very good at drilling, very capable person, such a person is easier to succeed than others as long as he has the opportunity, Uncle enters his own investment company, he may not know much at first, but as long as he is given time, he will definitely be able to do very well.
It's two-sided.
In addition, the uncle himself is always very sad at home, no wife, no children, always thinking about the past, let him come to work abroad, meet new challenges, and gradually forget the previous things, maybe he can still find a suitable other half at work?
In short, the benefits are many.
After sending off his mother and uncle, Wan Sheng also settled down and prepared to prepare for Christmas with Dali, the town of Great Derby, the atmosphere of Christmas is still very strong, less than a week before Christmas, the streets are already full of Christmas trees and various decorations, and the atmosphere of the festival has spread.
But even if it's Christmas, the team still has to train.
There is no winter break in the English Premier League and the First Division, in fact, the more it is after Christmas, the more intensive the schedule, there are about ten days before Christmas without games, but after Christmas, that is, on December 26, a new round of league games will start, and then it will be the 'gray New Year' for English professional clubs, during this period of time each team has a very dense schedule, an average of three days and one game, which makes many people have headaches, and it is also the most frequent period of injuries in a season.
Derby County have a relatively good schedule, with only two league games on the 26th and 28th, but after those two league games, the FA Cup will begin, and the next month will be a little more intense than before Christmas.
The team is also preparing for the post-Christmas game, and during weekday training, Wan Sheng has given the players more individual training time, and everyone has to complete at least one round of fitness or form training every day.
This will ensure their physical condition, at least not lightly injured in training.
In the afternoon, Tagore called Wan Sheng and said that the club had also negotiated a new contract with him.
Soon the next day, Derby County FC prepared a press conference for Wansheng's contract renewal, which was a small signing ceremony, but because it was Wansheng's contract renewal, there were still a lot of media reporters who came.
At the venue, Wan Sheng shook hands with the club's president, Ji-Smith, and politely signed the contract, in fact, it was just a fake contract, and the real contract had already been signed by both parties.
The official website of the Derby County club announced some details of Wansheng's new contract, including a four-year term, an annual salary adjustment to 400,000 pounds and an upward and downward adjustment according to the team's results, such as the team's promotion to the Premier League this season, his annual salary will automatically increase by 30%, reaching the level of more than 500,000 pounds, and the results in the Premier League will be further raised.
In fact, there are many other details in Wansheng's contract, such as Wansheng has the right to transfer players under 4 million pounds, which is enough for him to monopolize all the transfer rights of the current team, because the team has no player worth this level, and there are also regulations on the team to win various honors, such as the team wins the League One championship this season, Wansheng can get a bonus of 300,000 pounds.
Wait a minute.
The content of the contract is still very cumbersome, and in general, Wansheng is still very satisfied with the new contract, which will at least ensure that he will work at Derby County until the end of next season, that is, lead the team to the Premier League for one season without problems.
At that time, the club and himself can't grasp what will happen, for example, in the Premier League, his performance is too poor, the club may still fire him, he leads the team too well, maybe he can renew a bigger contract with the team.
In short, it's possible.
Who can say what lies ahead?
After signing a contract extension with the club, Wansheng received an invitation and a phone call from Jie Smith.
"Wansheng, do you want to go to the drinking party together?"
Wan Sheng looked down at the invitation and read the signature below, "Is it a cocktail party hosted by Mr. Husky of the Judges Association?" ”
"You know?" Ji-Smith was a little confused.
"I also received an invitation to go to London for a cocktail party tomorrow afternoon." Wan Sheng said.
"That's great, but it's normal, you're also a well-known manager in England now, so let's go to London together tomorrow morning after training."
Ji-Smith and Wan Sheng made an appointment and hung up the phone.
Wan Sheng still has a lot of doubts about this invitation, but he knows that he is definitely a pure newcomer in the English refereeing world, and he has just qualified to enter many social circles, probably this drinking party is a way for the referee association to communicate with various teams.
