Chapter 7 Strange things and miscellaneous talk
Wan Sheng doesn't care about Nico Herzger's transfer negotiations.
That's not his job.
What Wan Sheng cares about is that Wang Xiaolei and Dai Lin can enter the Derby County Club, and this transfer is basically reached after he and Sun Ming negotiated.
Sun Ming intends to ask him to take the young players away for training in Europe. No matter what contract Wilcox can discuss with Dalian Shide, or whether Nico Herzger can transfer to Dalian Shide, it is certain that these two young people go to Derby County.
As long as this transfer is fine, other jobs belong to Wilcox.
He just needs to know the final result.
There is a reason why Wansheng cares about the results. The finances of Derbyshire Club have always been a problem. If Wilcox can sell Nico Herzger at a good price, he can also make more transfer budgets and will be more tough in the following summer transfers.
To supplement the team's lineup, it is always good to have more transfer budgets.
The summer work is about to begin. He plans to stay at home for another three days before leaving China and returning to Derby County to work.
He has a lot of work to do.
The team needs to clean up a group of people and buy some people. Some transfers are not enough for him to just say a name, and he needs to dig it out by himself.
But what Wan Sheng didn't expect was that a reporter appeared at his doorstep the next day.
This is a female reporter with a shawl, a long skirt, a celebrity face, and a very beautiful woman. But she is just beautiful. Her scrutinized look is really not very likable.
Wan Sheng could tell at a glance that she was a reporter, but he asked politely, "Who are you looking for?"
The female reporter did not answer, but still looked at Wan Sheng in scrutiny. The look was very uncomfortable. Wan Sheng felt like she was going through an interview. The female reporter was the interviewer, and it felt like he was not doing well. The other party was going to do something.
Wan Sheng frowned, but asked politely again, "Who are you looking for?"
"You are Wansheng." The female reporter finally spoke, and his voice was very nice. But Wansheng was not interested in such obviously arrogant women at all. The other party's questioning tone also annoyed him. He had never seen such a reporter before. Even those annoying reporters in Derbyshire Sports were very polite when asked questions. This woman really had no professional qualities.
Maybe this is the arrogant attribute of a beautiful woman?
Wan Sheng shook his head helplessly and said politely. "Is there anything wrong?"
The female reporter looked at Wan Sheng and said without changing his tone, "You are Wan Sheng? I heard that you are the head coach of a League One team? You are not a liar, are you? You are still so young, you are not a few years older than me. By the way, are you in your twenties? Are you sure you are the head coach of Derby County?"
"I saw you in Dalian City with Mr. Sun Ming, Chairman of Dalian Shide. How did you know him? Did he believe in you?"
Wan Sheng's face turned black.
He had seen a reporter coming to interview and was ready to accept the interview. After all, this was the first time that a domestic reporter had arrived. But this female reporter... except for her appearance, she really had no place to like.
Still questioning yourself as a liar?
Wan Sheng took two steps back, slapped the door with a 'bang', leaving a sentence. "Sorry, I'm just a liar!"
Next, I heard the sound of a furious woman outside the door.
Wansheng returned to the house and ignored him.
Damn, you can be arrogant if you are beautiful, and no matter how arrogant you are, you are a reporter. The reporter needs to interview. You should speak good things when interviewing, rather than questioning.
It would be fine if you have a normal interview, but when I come to me, I still questioned that I am a liar. It would be strange if I would accept your interview!
Come here to show my arrogant attributes?
If you think I am your suitor, you can just make a fuss!
The female reporter was in front of the door. She seemed to be unable to believe that someone would treat her like this. She shouted a few times without responding, then slapped the door a few times, and finally said angrily, "A liar, really thinks she is a character!"
Then he stomped his feet and left.
Wan Sheng didn't take this seriously at all, but he still realized that some domestic reporters might have learned about him, but they were not sure. If they knew about it, they would definitely have to go through a lot of trouble.
It's better to leave early!
He sighed and decided to come down.
As long as Wan Sheng has no job and stays at home, there will be no reporters who will disturb him. Unless it is agreed, no reporters will trespass into private houses. However, the country is different. There is no concept of a "private house" in the family environment at all. If those reporters know, they will definitely come directly. At that time, it will not be his own trouble, and the whole family will be in trouble.
Wan Sheng booked a plane ticket that night, and told his parents about leaving. He also exchanged the only 20,000 pounds in the card into RMB and transferred it to his father's card.
My father refused, and Wan Sheng said seriously, "Dad, you take this money to improve our environment. A new community has been built in the north. The money is almost enough to buy one. Now I have made money. From childhood to adulthood, I have eaten at home and spent my family. From now on, it's time for you to spend my money."
The father smiled, and the mother on the other side laughed.
...
What Wan Sheng didn't know was that on this night, he appeared on the entertainment news on the media website. The name of this news was - "Strange Things: A young man actually claimed to be the coach of the League One!"
Reporter's signature - Fang Qian.
In this news, Wan Sheng became a young man who wanted to become a coach and was crazy. He publicly claimed that he was the head coach of a League One team and also tricked Sun Ming, chairman of Dalian Shide Group.
The photos attached to the news were Wansheng and Sun Ming walking into the hotel together while chatting and laughing.
That was taken at the door.
At that time, no one noticed that there were reporters around him, but Sun Ming himself was a person who was concerned, and it was not surprising that those reporters took photos of him and Sun Ming together.
This news said that Wan Sheng was a liar and pointed out the ridiculousness of his deception. "A young man in his twenties actually said that he was the head coach of the League One team. He was really capable of lies that he could tell this level... What's even more ridiculous is that Mr. Sun Ming, chairman of Dalian Shide Group, believed it and specially hosted him at the Dalian Yongsheng Hotel."
The explanation of the news is very convincing. This photo becomes the biggest evidence!
Speaking of which, there are pictures and truths. When the pictures come out, the truth naturally comes out. This is a report released by well-known domestic media websites. Readers who see it will hardly think that this is a "speculative" news, and they will only think that it is true.
A liar is nothing, Sun Ming is a highly-watched person, and then this liar, Wan Sheng, also became popular.
In 2003, China's network system had basically taken shape. There were still a lot of netizens. As soon as this news came out, Wan Sheng immediately became the target of public jokes. There were many posts after the news, but most of them joked about Wan Sheng-
"This guy has a trick to cheat!"
"The head coach of the League One team? Haha, this b is between the bull a and the bull c..."
“On the top floor!”
"I really want to be a coach and I'm crazy!"
"In his twenties, why don't he say he is a big foreign star!"
"If the stars can verify it, you will know it when you come on the court."
"Is there a coach of the League One team in China? But Sun Ming is stupid enough..."
...
Just as the discussions were booming on the Chinese Internet, Wan Sheng had already boarded the plane back to London.
After about twelve hours of travel, he transferred to Derbyshire at South London Street Station.
The end of the post-season budget for Derby County Club is almost done. Club chairman Ji Smith told Wansheng that the club can set aside 1.2 million pounds of transfer funds financially, which is also all Derby County transfer budgets in the summer.
Wan Sheng is prepared for this number.
Although the finances of Derby County Club are not disclosed, the financial situation can still be inferred from the club's performance over the past year, transfers, etc. Many Derby County fans can think of Derby County's finances, let alone know more about Wansheng.
However, Wan Sheng had no hope for transfer funds. He gave Ji Smith a list, and the players on this list were not in Wan Sheng's plan for next season. They occupied the player quota and received the team's salary, so they naturally had to be cleared out.
Selling these players can bring some transfer income to the team and save a salary for the next season.
However, in terms of transfer income, Wan Sheng did not expect anything. Derby County's real value is Morris, Marcus, Weberson and others, but these people are also very capable, and they are all in his plan for next season.
There are nearly ten players on that list, but no more than three of them can be transferred and sold. The others will either be terminated directly, or they will not renew the contract for free, or they will be loaned to other teams.
Wansheng doesn't care about these things.
After only one day in Derby, he flew to France the next day. His destination was Ales, France, where there was a French Ligue 2 team, Ales Club.
Ales Club has been in the low league for a long time and has no reputation in France.
Both French Ligue 2 and English League One are second-tier leagues, but the gap between them is still very large. In the World League ranking, English Ligue 1 can rank in the top 15, and in terms of league attendance, they rank fourth, and are still above Ligue 1. However, French Ligue 2, no matter what the list is, they must be outside the 30th place.
Even in the French Ligue 2, Alles is just a team that barely relegated.
However, compared with the club's location, the small town of Ales, which has less than 50,000 people, it is already good that they can gain a foothold in the French Ligue 2.
Wan Sheng is not here to discover any big-name stars. Although the Ales Club has not performed well, they still have outstanding stars. For example, the current Ales star Bednick is a very famous genius in France. For such a genius, instead of going to England to join Derby County to participate in the League One, it is better to stay in France to participate in the French Second Division.
