Chapter 133: Part-time work during the World Cup
Thanks to the top, beer belly, the standard for most middle-aged German men.
Jens is the director of the Express newspaper, and the upcoming World Cup in Germany is a veritable big battle for the German media.
For this reason, he called Claudia to his office.
"Claudia, it's not easy for the print media right now, and this World Cup in Germany is very important for us."
"Boss, I know, I'm ready, I work overtime every day for a month, without rest."
"Huh."
The fat boss smiled slightly, "Claudia, I absolutely trust your professionalism, but it's not enough. ”
“……”
"We need a blast."
"What's the breaking point?"
"Stars, we need stars to be our commentators, to get first-hand news resources."
Claudia Khan, the Express is a giant in the Cologne region, but in Germany it is so-so.
"Boss, it's definitely not going to be possible for us to have a star like Mateus as our commentator, and it's even more impossible for the current one."
"Who said they were looking for a German star?"
"Foreign?"
Claudia was puzzled, during the World Cup, stars were a scarce resource, and the stars of various countries were almost divided between their own TV stations and media.
"Boss, who did you invite?"
The fat boss took out a newspaper and pointed to Tang Zhenglong on it.
Claudia suddenly felt that something was about to happen.
"You...... It won't be looking for Tang Zhenglong, right? ”
"That's right, I'm going to invite Don to be a commentator for the Express, and the Cologneites love his big mouth."
Claudia is 10,000 unhappy to work with Tang Zhenglong for a month? Are you kidding?
"Boss, the World Cup is a major event in Germany, I think Tang Zhenglong's image is not good, and I refuse to cooperate with him."
"Claudia, how many good images are there in the football circle? Is Maradona image good? ”
"Is Rooney in good shape?"
"Including us in Germany, Effenberg is still exploding at the fans."
"But the fans like it, so I decided that we had to ask Tang Zhenglong to be our commentator, and this time we will cooperate with Cologne TV."
Claudia wanted to cry.
"Boss ......"
"Needless to say, it's such a pleasant decision, remember that this is not your business alone, but related to the development of the Express Group."
Taking out the group to talk about things, Claudia had nothing to say, so she could only grit her teeth and agree.
*****
In a high-end restaurant, Mr. Tang was having dinner and talking with two old friends from China.
"Brother Fang, Brother Yang, have a drink."
"Zhenglong, your progress has exceeded our expectations."
"Hahaha." Tang Zhenglong smiled very coolly, but in front of his fellow countrymen, he still had to maintain his gentleness and frugality.
Fang Qiang of Wangyi and Yang Zhiyong of "Football Weekly" invited Tang Zhenglong to become a commentator in the domestic media this time, providing the perspective of the players, and the name of the column was thought of, called "Follow Tang Zhenglong to Watch the World Cup".
The domestic video copyright belongs to CCTV, and the rest of the media can only do a good job of post-game commentary.
"Zhenglong, the ugly words are ahead, no one in China can interview you except us."
"Yes."
"I've agreed to be a commentator for the Express on the German side, and that's all right?"
Fang Qiang is still more cautious.
"Zhenglong, it's best to stagger the content, for example, it's all the games of the German team, and what we give can be a comment on Klose, and it's up to you to give it to Germany."
Yang Zhiyong said: "The domestic side will be more interested in Bayern's stars, you pay attention. ”
"No problem, I'm very talkative, if the manuscript sent to you is not satisfactory, I will rewrite it."
This is also what Fang Qiang and Yang Zhiyong like most about Tang Zhenglong, that is, as long as they receive money, they will definitely get things done, which is different from many stinky stars in China.
To put it simply, Tang Zhenglong is a person without a frame and straightforward.
Fang Qiang said: "Regarding the remuneration, whether you directly hit your domestic account is counted, and you can also save a commission." ”
"yes, that German girl next to you is very difficult to talk to."
Tang Zhenglong smiled, knowing that they were talking about Emma.
"Yes, but I won't give her less commission."
"Haha, Zhenglong, you and her ......"
"I want to, but I haven't been on it yet."
Burst.
Yang Zhiyong choked on the drink and thought, "Young people nowadays are too direct." ”
Yang Zhiyong gave Fang Qiang a look, the two are football reporters, not entertainment reporters, don't ask about these things.

"Ahh
"Hold on for another 30 seconds."
"I can't do it anymore."
Heavy gasps echoed through the living room, and Kaya pinched her stopwatch.
"That's it."
Tang Zhenglong was lying on the yoga mat, and his last Pilates movement was a handstand against the wall, which tested the strength of the core muscles, which was very difficult.
Kaya patted Tang Zhenglong, "There has been progress, and it has been longer." ”
"Longer?" Tang Zhenglong smiled, he was praised by the beauty for a long time, this is still very happy.
Jingle bells, doorbells ring.
"Don, I'll open the door for you, I'll go, and there will be acting classes in the afternoon."
"Okay, I've been busy lately, and I've agreed to be a commentator for a few media outlets."
"It's good to be a football player, even if you don't play in the future, you can make money with your mouth."
"Haha, why don't you give me ......"
"Get out." Kaya didn't wait for Tang Zhenglong to finish speaking, she knew that Tang Zhenglong was eating a bowl and looking at the people in the cafeteria.
Kaya opened the door, and a person walked in, Tang Zhenglong took a sip of water, and almost squirted out.
"Claudia, what are you doing at my house?"
"You think I want to come, the boss asked me to work with you."
"Cooperation?" Tang Zhenglong wondered: "There are hundreds of employees of the Express Group, why you?" ”
Claudia was angry when she heard it, "I don't dislike you, what else do you have to say." ”
Tang Zhenglong was unhappy, he was really unhappy.
"Go back and tell your boss that if it's to work with you, then I'll refuse."
"Refuse?" Claudia smiled: "Yes, pay three times the liquidated damages." ”
I'll it!
"Liquidated damages?"
Tang Zhenglong ignored this, thinking that he would just play tricks, and a sum of money would go into his pocket, and there was no possibility of breach of contract.
"You don't read the contract when you sign it?"
"I just looked at the pay, thought it was good, and signed."
Burst.
"Then you're lucky, you met our "Express", or I wouldn't know if I sold you."
Tang Zhenglong had a dark face, "You really can't change people?" Do you have any casual girls in the Express? ”
Claudia picked up the paper on the table and threw it at Tang Zhenglong.
"Mom."
"Hurry up and get dressed and come with me."
"Where are you going?"
"Cologne TV, we have to prepare, at least you have to be able to use the live broadcast equipment."
