"Well, living room, dining room, study room, bedroom, computer, TV, sofa, bed... this is modern life!"
Old Hill moved very quickly. There was a high-end apartment near the youth training camp. The owner of the apartment was an old man in his sixties. His son and wife both worked in other places, so one person could not live in this two-person apartment.
It was a two-story apartment, so I rented the entire second floor to Dick. The furniture and other items were all ready-made, and it was a standard move-in package.
After walking around, Dick was still very satisfied with the apartment. And the old man in his sixties, Mr. Don Franco, was not as confused as ordinary old men. Instead, he looked strong, cheerful, and spoke rough.
The most important thing is that he is a die-hard Atletico Madrid fan. He has been watching Atletico Madrid games since he was a child. After knowing that the head coach of Atletico Madrid's second team was looking for an apartment, it was almost half price.
Rented the apartment to Dick...
"Mr. Franco, you've lost a lot. After all, it was the club that paid for it..." Dick said with a smile at the banquet where Franco invited Dick to dinner and welcomed him.
"Hey, I am an old man, how much money can I use... Anyway, it is empty. I am really happy to have the head coach of Atletico Madrid's second team to live in... Di, you have led the team in these games.
That’s great! It seems like Atletico Madrid’s first team should ask you to be their coach!”
"Haha, you're honored." Dick smiled proudly. He was used to hearing the boos from the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands. Now that he met such a cheerful and kind old man, Dick was indeed very happy: "You want to
What kind of signature? I can get it for you, like Fernando Torres’s!”
"I'm so old, why do I need this? Di, as long as you continue to lead the team to win, then I will be happiest!" Franco laughed and said: "The Italian led the team with such poor results, I
I really hope it’s you who leads the first team.”
"The first team? I'm afraid it's unlikely." Dick thought thoughtfully, and then laughed: "If Atletico Madrid uses a head coach like me in his early twenties as the head coach of the first team,
I’m afraid many people will laugh at us.”
Franco also sighed.
After finishing the meal, Dick became familiar with this old man. He didn't want to go out and play around yet. During this winter break, he also wanted to prepare well for the second half of the season and lead Atletico Madrid's second team.
As for the first-team intelligence, he began to collect it privately. This season, Ranieri led the team to play very poorly after taking office. Atletico Madrid had already begun to fall into a situation of relegation in the first half of the season. However, just as he himself
As he said, whether Hill will let him put out the fire is still a big question. After all, he is only twenty-one years old - at this age, even if he is not Chinese but Spanish, I am afraid he will not be easy.
Recognized by Atletico Madrid's first team.
The first team and the second team are different. Hill is famous for not paying attention to the second team, so he just opened his mouth to assign this position to Dick. The other people in the management will not say much. They value it.
It's the first team, but if Dick is asked to put out the fire, even if Hill owns close to 90% of Atletico Madrid's shares, I'm afraid it won't be settled.
It's just that it's one thing to have a chance, and it's another thing to be unprepared - opportunities only come to those who are prepared, and Dick knows this very well.
Now I am just a small white-collar worker with a monthly salary of about 10,000 US dollars. I am not qualified to spend a lot of time or anything like that. When I have the ability to earn an annual salary of one million, what can I do? A thief has to suffer a lot before he wants to eat meat.
Hit immediately.
So Dick just calmed down and waited for the opportunity to come.
On December 22, Franco happily took Dick to watch TV. Dick was learning Spanish with Pedro, so he had no choice but to follow him out.
What was shown on the TV was the live broadcast of the Big Fat Man Lottery. Dick originally thought it was just like the lottery ceremony of China's Welfare Lottery. There were two notary office personnel per machine, and the live broadcast was completed in just ten minutes. Who knew that this Big Fat Man
The lottery is different. The entire lottery process is broadcast live for nearly three hours. In addition to the lottery, there are also various entertainment programs. To put it simply, the live broadcast of the lottery process is equivalent to China’s Spring Festival Gala. It is almost 100% every year.
More than 70 Spaniards will watch it with great interest for three hours - but think about it, for a lottery that more than three-quarters of Spaniards will buy, there will naturally be many people watching the lottery.
This was an eye-opener for Dick. If he didn't live in Spain, he probably wouldn't have understood this kind of thing. This is a unique culture belonging to a country. Just like if you are not Chinese, it is difficult to understand the meaning of the Spring Festival to the Chinese people.
Same.
After various entertainment programs, the lottery ceremony officially began. The lottery was done through a machine. Every time a number was drawn, the students from a local elementary school in Madrid reported the number loudly. This was also to reflect fairness.
"The first number -" the host shouted loudly, and then a primary school student picked up the colored ball and reported the number on it in a childish voice: "Nine!"
"Haha, I won one!" Dick laughed while holding the lottery ticket.
Pedro threw away the lottery tickets in his hand depressedly. He bought ten tickets, none of which started with nine...
Old Franco laughed happily while holding the two remaining lottery tickets in his hand. He bought twenty tickets, two of which started with nine.
"The second number is..."
"Nine too!"
"Another one!" Dick continued laughing.
"It's unreasonable. You can win at least the last prize if you buy one... That's five thousand dollars..." Pedro lamented.
"I said that I am very lucky this year. I will definitely win the first prize for the bottom prize! I just don't know if I will win a lot of the first prize this year and whether I will get more points." Dick chuckled.
explain.
"The maximum is only 100,000 US dollars, it can't be more." Pedro explained: "If the money cannot be divided, it will be rolled into the next lottery pool."
"That's it, it seems that the most you can get is 100,000." Dick muttered. It seems that this wealth card is just a gadget. The basic level is 100,000, and the advanced level is only 1 million. When he becomes famous,
Well, being a top head coach and earning millions a year is not trivial.
So Dick seemed very calm next. In the eyes of Pedro and Franco in disbelief, the third number was one, the fourth number was zero, and the fifth number was one. Dick bought a lottery ticket.
Just hit the jackpot!
"How did you buy it? How did you win the jackpot by buying one!" Pedro rushed over with a shocked look on his face and started touching Dick randomly: "Do you have any secrets?"
"Damn it, I look at you, you are fair, clean and elegant, I didn't expect you to be so good at it."
Dick pushed Pedro away with a terrified look on his body: "What's the secret? It's just good luck. There are so many lottery winners in Spain every year, so what's so strange about me being the only one?"
"Boss, do you think those who won the lottery only bought one? How many years of luck does it take to meet someone? If word spreads, you will probably be on the headlines of the newspaper!" Dick pushed him
After opening the door, Pedro was not angry and started shouting loudly.
"We have a saying in China that when luck comes, no city wall can stop it. There is also a saying that good character means good luck. Do you understand?" Dick said proudly.
"Whoever has noble conduct can win the lottery..." Pedro was confused.
Dick ignored him, picked up the lottery ticket, and shouted enthusiastically: "Go! Go and collect the prize tomorrow! By the way, where can I collect it?"
The next day, Dick became famous again.
The winner of the jackpot every year will be interviewed by the newspaper, and as a professional coach, Dick won the lottery for the first time - generally speaking, football coaches rarely buy these lottery tickets, because they don't have the time.
Although there are many football coaches in Spain, they are only a drop in the ocean among the vast number of lottery players, and those who win are even rarer. At most, they will only win second or third place...
"Mr. Dick, I heard that you bought a lottery ticket and won the prize. Is that true?" a TV reporter asked Dick in front of the camera.
"Yes, my luck is quite good this year, especially after October. This is a well-known fact... As for winning the lottery, this is the embodiment of luck, so my opponents, you will also have to
Be careful, because I will keep winning!"
Dick held an enlarged check like a fool and laughed loudly at the TV camera: "And the gentleman I bet with, get ready to eat the microphone!"
Rodriguez squirted out red wine in front of the TV.
In the past two months, Mr. Rodriguez has been quite proud. The bet between him and Dick has received support from everyone in the newspaper. World Sports even published a special issue that made everyone at Atletico Madrid laugh.
For this reason, he has also been promoted. At least he no longer has to track down loan players like Nakker who are not valued by the club, but can interview some more important players.
So Rodriguez has been in good spirits recently, but when he saw this live broadcast, he felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
Being disgusted by Dick, Rodriguez naturally needed to fight back. The next day, an article written by Rodriguez was published.
"What is a Career"
The whole article is thousands of words long and talks about one question. For a professional head coach, if he goes out to buy lottery tickets in his spare time, is he not doing his job properly? He starts to inflate himself after winning a few games. This kind of character can lead a good team.
? What will the team led by such a head coach look like?
Dick's response to this was just one sentence: "My private life is none of your business."
He just responded to this sentence without any other response - because Dick was too lazy to respond. He is very busy now. In addition to preparing for the second half of the season, he is also ready to have a good leisure time. There are two or three people who have traveled through time.
It's been a month, how can I live up to the money I earned if I don't relax a bit? It's only been a day or two since I got my bonus. Dick doesn't want to save money to buy a house or something. If he doesn't spend the money he has, why should he keep it in the bank?
