Chapter 37 Gregory
Bridges’ invitation is so tempting!
The weekly work is just to follow the team to play, analyze and observe during the game, and provide adjustment suggestions. You don’t have to do anything else. You can get 5,000 pounds in one game. On average, you will definitely have a high salary of more than 20,000 pounds per month.
Zhang Yang couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
If such a job is in front of him, Reinkell's invitation is nothing. Even if the other party values him very much, he still depends on his work situation when he goes to the headquarters. In addition, he has not yet decided whether to move towards the direction of a football host, so there are too many issues to consider.
With this job in front of him, he doesn't need to think about it at all.
When he returned to the office, Zhang Yang shared the news with Andy as soon as possible. Andy opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Is there such a good thing?"
Zhang Yang shrugged, "I think it's amazing too!"
"Can it be a liar?"
"But he is certainly 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 still hated him so much that he remembered the other party's "stealing ability".
"Well, if there is such a job, I can't think of a reason to refuse," Andy said.
"I can't think of it, either."
The two were silent for a while.
Zhang Yang suddenly said, "Well, Andy, please go to the Rangers Club with me at noon. You will know whether it is true or not. That club is in East London and not far away."
"But I'm going, is it suitable?"
Zhang Yang said, "Why is it not suitable! From now on, you will be my agent. If the negotiations can be completed, I will pay you a commission of 5% of your salary. How about it?"
"Five percent? You're so stingy!"
Andy complained, and suddenly made up his fingers, "A game of 5,000 pounds, ten games are 50,000 pounds, even if a season is forty games, then... five percent..."
"Ten thousand pounds!" Zhang Yang rolled his eyes.
Andy grinned in surprise, "Ten thousand pounds? It seems yes! Ten thousand pounds, that's my three or four months' salary! Are you sure? Zhang!"
“Very sure!”
"Then it's decided!" Andy was happier than Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang also smiled.
If he really can have such a job, he really needs an agent to negotiate, otherwise he will not know if he suffers a big contract.
Andy happens to be good at doing this.
He is a handyman in the foreign media department, responsible for interviewing photography, translating news, and "part-time" half of the legal counsel. He seems to be proficient in everything.

Queen's Park Rangers Club.
Zhang Yang and Andy arrived at the door together. After explaining their purpose, staff soon received them into a small conference room.
The two waited for more than ten minutes, and Bridges rushed over. He shook hands with Zhang Yang enthusiastically, "Zhang, I knew you would come, I think so, you have no reason to refuse."
"Yes, I can't think of a reason."
Later, Zhang Yang helped introduce Andy, indicating that he was his 'agent'.
Bridges was surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Yang would have an agent. He seemed a little nervous for a moment. The strange reaction made Zhang Yang suddenly start to doubt. He asked, "Did the conditions still be what you said in the morning?"
"certainly!"
Bridges patted his chest and promised that Zhang Yang felt a little relieved.
A few minutes later, a fat manager came 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 opened it and glanced a few times, and handed it to Andy.
Andy looked carefully.
During this period, Bridges was obviously a little nervous, and Zhang Yang also began to follow him carefully, and soon the two of them discovered the problem.
Andy pointed at a place and asked Bridges, "What's going on here? I invited Zhang as an assistant coach, but his salary was the lowest standard in London?"
"Zhang mainly serves as a competition coach and does not have to work on weekdays, which is just an extra benefit," Bridges explained.
This is just as a matter of time.
"But what about here? Why is it that 'every game that Zhang participates in and wins is an extra bonus of 5,000 pounds'?" Andy found the key point.
Everyone looked at Bridges.
Bridges was embarrassed and didn't say anything, Clark said, "We asked Zhang Lai to be an assistant coach to help the team win. If the team doesn't win, we have no reason to pay."
"But this is different from what you said!"
"I don't know what Bridges said, but that's what Mr. Palatine meant. Think about it, it's not too bad to get five thousand pounds in a winning game, and I can't think of a better job than this." Clarke's words were a little frivolous.
Zhang Yang frowned.
Andy asked, "Is there any contract to be negotiated?"
Clark shrugged.
"Let's go!" Zhang Yang left with a gloomy face.
Bridges behind him was very upset. This was the best condition he had negotiated with Palatine and won. He hoped that Zhang Yang would sign the contract in a confused manner, and then he would have an additional 'match instructor'.
The winning game was not much, and no one in the club had nothing to say, but unexpectedly, the other party actually found an agent.

Zhang Yang and Andy returned to the BBC branch together and talked about this along the way. He could only smile bitterly, "I should have thought of not having such a good job!"
Andy also complained, "I felt it was impossible at first! What a pity, my annual pounds!"
"I'd better settle down and go to the BBC headquarters in the afternoon!" Zhang Yang sighed.
"When it comes to this, I'm even more jealous. You seem to have a lot of jobs to choose from. Even this is actually 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 your salary. There is no future. I can survive until May next year, but even Bridges' job may not be able to be kept. I can only cover it and leave."
“That’s right.”
The two soon returned to the branch building.
At the entrance of the stairs, a black security guard suddenly called Zhang Yang, "You are Zhang Yang, right? Your Weibo is called 'Personal Zhang Yang'? You must be, I am your fan. I have followed you and listened to your show!"
"My pleasure!"
Zhang Yang was a little surprised.
"But it's not about me now." The security guard pointed at the figure sitting on the other side of the hall. "That person is looking for you, he has been waiting here for an hour."
"who is he?"
"Call Gligery, but I don't know what it is for."
Zhang Yang thanked the security guard and walked over with Andy. When he walked in, he realized that it was an old man with wrinkles on his face, and he must be over fifty years old.
"Mr. Gligory?" Zhang Yang walked in and shouted.
Gligoli raised his head and saw the two approaching. He immediately stood up and smiled and stretched out his hand, "You are Zhang, right? I heard that you are Chinese. Just call me Gligoli."
The two shook hands.
Zhang Yang introduced Andy.
After a few greetings, Gligory explained his purpose, "I want to invite you to be the assistant coach of Millwall Club."
"My?Assistant coach?"
Zhang Yang's expression was a bit exaggerated. He and Andy looked at each other and felt unreliable no matter how they thought it was. They had just seen an unreliable contract.
"Is there any problem?"
Gligory was surprised by the reactions of the two.
"Nothing." Andy reacted first, and he asked, "Why did you come to invite Zhang? He doesn't know how to command team training. I don't think he can help professional teams."
"No, you were wrong." Gligory shook his head, "I've listened to Zhang's program, 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 being praised, "Well, Mr. Gligory, this is not a good place to talk."
"I think so."
The three of them went to the small office of the Foreign Media Department.
During the lunch break, the corridor became very quiet. Gligory walked in and formally introduced his identity, "I am the current chairman of Millwall."
Zhang Yang and Andy immediately looked at him with a high glance.
Bridges is just a head coach. He seems to be very good at speaking. In fact, he is just a working man. In front of him, he is the chairman of a club, so he must have great power.
Gligory continued, "I think your analysis of the game will be very helpful for us to compete in the league, so I invite you to be the assistant coach of Millwall. The main job is to assist the head coach, judge the game situation, and put forward some constructive adjustments."
This is similar to Bridges's idea.
Zhang Yang said, "How is the treatment? You know, I work in the BBC, and if I don't have enough attractiveness, I can't think of a reason to leave."
Chapter completed!
