Chapter 195

Wang Hailiang, who stared wide-eyed, opened his mouth wide, and put on a shocked expression, really made Zhang Yang feel helpless. He was speechless for a long time and didn't know what to say.

"Rookie reporter" is by no means a critical description, but a true portrayal of Wang Hailiang.

Of course, that has nothing to do with the 'math teacher'.

Wang Hailiang's calculation ability is quite good. The current exchange rate of RMB to British pound is about 65 to 1000, and [-] pounds is equivalent to RMB [-] million. He can react and calculate in a few seconds, which shows that his mathematics level is qualified.

But why is this surprising?
Doesn't this guy know that he is interviewing the head coach of a Premier League team?For the head coach of a Premier League team, the salary standard must be calculated according to the 'Premier League Standard'.

Last year, the average salary of Premier League players was 54 pounds. According to a survey report on the salary of Premier League players disclosed by the British "Independent": From the perspective of the position on the field, the Premier League forwards earned the most, with an average annual salary of 79 pounds. The average annual salary of midfielders is 69 pounds, the average annual salary of defenders is 49 pounds, and the average annual salary of goalkeepers is only 37 pounds.

That's part of the 'Premier League Standard'.

The other small part is the "manager standard" of the "Premier League standard". A team can have nearly [-] players, but only one head coach. The role of the head coach is beyond doubt, and the salary of big-name coaches is definitely No less.

'Blues' Chelsea coach Mourinho's salary is calculated in millions. In the first year of the contract, the salary alone can get 500 million pounds.

Other well-known head coaches, such as Manchester United coach Ferguson, Arsenal coach Wenger, Liverpool coach Benitez, etc., their annual salaries also exceed 200 million pounds.

Next is the second-tier head coach, with an average annual salary of more than 100 million pounds.

This is after-tax income!
The taxation of the wealthy in the UK is still relatively heavy, up to 40.00% of wage income[-], but the general rule of the Premier League is that clubs pay taxes for players and coaches.

This is also one of the important reasons for the high salary pressure of Premier League clubs.

For Zhang Yang's new contract, he can only get £65 in the first year. Compared with his fellow Premier League coaches, his salary can only be regarded as a "third-tier level".

He was somewhat dissatisfied.

This salary level is amazing enough if it is measured by 'Chinese standards'.

As an interview reporter, it is certainly not possible to measure the salary of the Premier League head coach by the 'Chinese standard' or 'Chinese football standard'.

What can Zhang Yang say?

If he said something in his heart, "I still think the salary is very low", he would definitely be regarded as 'pretending to be X', and it was a bit too much 'pretending to be X', but he really thought so in his heart.

So he could only remain silent.

Zhang Yang was really too lazy to popularize the "Premier League Standards" to Wang Hailiang. As an interviewer, he didn't even know about these, so he was simply unqualified.

After being shocked, Wang Hailiang finally came to his senses, "This should be the highest salary in Chinese football!"

"The first highest salary?"

Zhang Yang frowned, and became interested amidst doubts.

Wang Hailiang found that he finally said something that attracted Zhang Yang, and immediately became energetic, "As far as I know, the highest annual salary of Chinese players was around 800 million yuan, let alone coaches..."

Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders, "According to what you said, this 'first highest salary' came too easily. But let's continue to ask questions, I don't want to talk about my salary."

"Of course, fine!"

Wang Hailiang made a haha, and immediately continued to ask questions. He had prepared nearly ten questions, and he had already asked half of them. The next questions became more normal. They were all for Zhang Yang to talk about Millwall and the team. In the middle of the situation, there is another question about transfers, "Can you disclose which famous stars Millwall plans to sign?"

Zhang Yang raised the corner of his mouth again.

Just by listening to the question, you can tell how unreliable the reporter is. The other party seems to have no understanding of Millwall's situation at all, right?

He took a deep breath and said with a light 'cough', "I want to sign Ronaldo, Kaka, Ronaldinho, David Beckham, Shevchenko, Kairi Mann, Rooney, etc., many, many stars..."

Wang Hailiang listened patiently. A lot of names were spoken, and he didn't know how to record them.

But then Zhang Yang added, "Unfortunately, Millwall has no money..."

Wang Hailiang almost fell over, his gloomy eyes seemed to exude the light of "you are playing me".

Zhang Yang said flatly, "I think you probably don't know much about European football, or in other words, you don't know much about professional football."

Wang Hailiang hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

SZ City TV Station does not have a special 'football news reporter'. His daily interview work is very mixed. Sometimes he interviews government officials, sometimes interviews entrepreneurs, and sometimes does special programs with the column team.

These are all unrelated to sports.

He is too busy with work on weekdays, and he never cares about sports. He came to interview Zhang Yang only because Zhang Yang is a new celebrity in SZ City.

"Then let me continue with this question." Zhang Yang continued, "Millwall was still in the Championship last season, which is England's second-tier league. It is itself a regional club. Although it is located in the London area, it is still just a Small club."

"During the Chinese New Year this year, the total market value of the Millwall Club did not exceed 1000 million pounds. Do you know what this means?"

Wang Hailiang listened patiently.

"Wayne Rooney, who played for Manchester United, was worth more than 4000 million pounds. Didier Drogba, who played for Chelsea, was worth more than 500 million pounds. As long as there are famous stars in the world, they are worth at least Hundreds, tens of millions of pounds, in other words, Millwall sold the club and couldn't afford a slightly famous star..."

"So our transfer targets will only be on young players with potential, free transfer players, or some retired veterans. As for stars... Maybe Millwall can cultivate stars, but it is temporarily impossible to sign stars. "

Zhang Yang popularized football knowledge to Wang Hailiang, but he was really not interested in accepting interviews.

Wang Hailiang was still in high spirits, as if he felt that he had acquired knowledge, but Zhang Yang barely answered one question, and then 'invited' this rookie reporter away on the pretext of being tired.

The interview with the rookie reporter is really a painful process.

"It seems that when we accept interviews in the future, we also need to screen the reporter's level."

Zhang Yang thought to himself.

Zhang Zhongyi has been listening, without interjecting a word, but when Wang Hailiang was about to leave, he still couldn't help asking, "I've been listening to you for a long time, Yangyang, are you working as a football coach for a club in England?"

"Ah."

Zhang Yang nodded.

Wang Hailiang was about to leave when he heard that he turned his head immediately and said in surprise, "You should be Mr. Zhang Yang's father? Don't you know? Mr. Zhang Yang is a celebrity in SZ, no, he is a celebrity in China and the world. He played in the Premier League As the head coach! Now the whole of China knows how many people know about him!"

Zhang Zhongyi was quite surprised.

After Wang Hailiang left, the living room became much more lively. 'Airborne stepmother' Wang Minli, 'airborne grandma' Li Zonghui, and younger brother Zhang Chen all surrounded them, chattering non-stop.

It was the first time Zhang Yang was so popular since entering the house.

Zhang Zhongyi pulled Zhang Yang and kept talking. He figured out exactly how his son became a football coach. His son only graduated from university a year ago, and he only studied in ordinary British universities. It was not easy to find a job. He was still at home for a while. Work for a media company, no matter how you think about it, it has nothing to do with football coaches.

From Wang Hailiang's interview, it can be seen that his son's football coaching work is still very good, and the annual salary of tens of millions is not a joke.

what is the problem?

Zhang Yang could only say a few words to deal with it. "Nothing, just luck, being appreciated by a club president, so he became a football coach."

"I like this job very much. That's why I said I don't want to go back to China."

Zhang Yang had a clear reason for refusing to return home.

"Of course, Yang Yang, I support you!" After getting a general understanding, Zhang Zhongyi resolutely stood on the side of support, and felt very ashamed when he thought that he would give double salary.

2000 million a year?

When the company's performance is good, that's almost all it makes.

At this time, even the "airborne grandma" Li Zonghui changed her critical eyes, saying repeatedly that "the tiger father has no dogs", "in the future, Yangyang will be able to support this family by himself", "developing very well in the UK", and said , "In the future, if you encounter difficulties at work, you will return to China and follow Zhongyi!"

Zhang Yang only took it as a joke.

Zhang Zhongyi said this out of sincerity, and "airborne stepmother" Wang Minli said this because she wanted to have a good relationship with him, and it was also out of "half sincerity".

This 'airborne grandma'?
Ha ha.

Zhang Yang's plan was to stay at home for a week, but in the end he only stayed for three days.

The life of these three days is very leisurely. During the day, I go to Weibo, play computer games to relax, and also contact the club to care about the progress of the transfer.

But time is still tough.

Zhang Yang always feels that he is out of tune with his family. Maybe he can get used to it after a long time, but he doesn't plan to live for a long time, and he doesn't want to get too involved. It feels good to have a family, but it's good to experience it once in a while.

three days later.

Watched by his family, Zhang Yang left for SH City by car.

After arriving in SH City, Zhang Yang found a hotel and booked a room at the front desk.

Andy came down and immediately asked Zhang Yang, "Didn't you say it would take a week?"

"Staying at home is boring, so I came back early." Zhang Yang shrugged and looked at Andy, "Looking at you, what's good about you?"

Andy suddenly excitedly said, "You saw it! Zhang, today I negotiated a contract with LN Company. You can come back early and sign the contract earlier. Guess how much I will negotiate?"

"How many?"

Andy made a 'four' with his hand, "400 million, one-year contract!"

"Great!"

Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up.
