Almighty Coach

Facing a child who was in the rebellious period of youth, Dai Li felt helpless.

Li Dai also grew up at that time. Children at this time were rebellious and sensitive. He knew that in the eyes of such rebellious teenagers, everything adults said was wrong.

Dai Li could predict that it would be impossible to stop Halls from playing football with his companions every night based on his few words alone. Moreover, if he continued to persuade him like this, not only would it not be effective, but it might even cause Halles even bigger problems. conflict.

"You have to think of a solution from another angle." Thinking of this, Dai Li said, "Halls, you know that your father wants you to become a professional player and play in the top five European leagues. It’s good to go to La Liga. So do you know what La Liga is like?”

Howles shook his head.

Dai Li then asked, "Then have you ever been to Spain?"

Howles shook his head again.

"Want to go?" Dai Li asked immediately.

Halles nodded this time.

"Okay, go back and get ready. In the next few days, I'll take you to Spain." Dai Li continued, "We'll go to Real Madrid and Barcelona."

Peyton translated this sentence to Howles, and Howers' face suddenly became excited, and he couldn't help asking: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I'll take you there after I get the visa, but the premise is that you will give me serious training in the last few days." Dai Li replied.

Knowing that he could go to Spain, Howers was obviously greatly motivated, and he trained a lot more seriously.

Peyton said, "Boss, the incentive you gave him is an attractive carrot. The kid instantly became motivated. But do you really want to take him to Spain?"

"It's not as simple as a reward." Dai Li sighed, and then said, "I promised to take him to Spain in the hope that he can understand what he is training for."

"I'm not quite sure what you mean," Peyton said.

Dai Li changed his voice, and said, "That car of mine drives pretty well, doesn't it?"

"Uh, of course, Porsche 911, that's my Dream Car. Boss, don't worry, I will maintain it on time and won't damage it." Peyton said.

"Then when did you fall in love with this car?" Dai Li continued to ask.

"When? I can't remember clearly. When I was very young, I saw a transfer car in a car magazine, and I fell in love with it." Peyton replied.

"Yeah, you saw it first, and then you fell in love with it. In other words, if you haven't seen this car, it's just someone told you that Porsche has a car called 911. How many advantages does this car have? , how excellent it is, will it still be your Dream Car?" Dai Li continued to ask.

Peyton thought for a while, and answered, "Probably not, after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

"That's right, the most direct way to form human desires is intuitive visual stimulation. When something is presented in front of you, it is most likely to arouse your desire to possess. For example, when you go to a restaurant, the pictures of the food on the menu , is easier to arouse your appetite than the name of a line of dishes. Or a sexy woman, if it appears in "Playboy", you will want to sleep with her, but if it only appears A name in the phone book, you may have a hard time even hardening it!"

Dai Li looked at Peyton with teasing eyes, and then said: "A dream is actually a kind of desire, so it is like this. Things that you see with your own eyes are easier to form desires, and then become people's dreams, and people will live forever." A kind of motivation, a kind of motivation to chase and realize dreams, which is why I plan to take Howles to Spain. Howles has never been to Spain, and he doesn’t know what La Liga is like. He just heard what others say, La Liga Very well, a giant club like Real Madrid or Barcelona is the place that all professional players yearn for. But for him, all this is too illusory, because he has never seen it, and he is not even a professional player. His desire is not that strong, nor does he have any desire for giants like Real Madrid or Barcelona."

"That's why you're taking Holes to Spain?" Peyton asked.

"Yes, I hope he can see the real La Liga with his own eyes, what the world's top football giants look like, I want him to know, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​or Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Juventus... the world's top clubs are the places he should go, not the small stadium near your home!"

"I hope this can arouse his desire. Once a person has a desire, he will have the motivation to move forward and work hard for a goal. If he is satisfied with his current life and content with the status quo, he will not be happy in his life. There will be great achievements." Dai Li paused, looked at Peyton, and then said: "And you, you are going too, I don't know Spanish."

"You don't even want to save money for translation, do you?" Peyton said a little depressed: "Boss, you are very rich."

"You idiot, the opportunity to travel to Europe at public expense, with salary and full board, lodging and transportation, if you don't want to, I'll take someone else there." Dai Li said with a smile.

"Go, I'll go, I'll definitely go!" Peyton immediately agreed.

Dai Li took out his mobile phone and dialed Blake's number: "Randy, send a letter to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​saying that the head coach of the US National Track and Field Team hopes to visit their clubs.

...

At the end of the day's work, the coaches took a shower and then returned to the coaches' locker room, planning to change their clothes and go home.

"Kenny, you're off work, do you want a drink?" A young coach invited his colleagues.

"No, I drove here today. Why don't you go find Andrew!" The other party shook his head.

"Andrew, do you have time, let's have a drink together?" The coach really invited the other party.

"Okay, I've been tired all day, where are we going? Is it the same bar as last time?"

"Let's go to the one next door last time." The young coach continued, "I've been really busy recently. I have added a lot of clients and a lot of workload. I need to drink some wine to soothe my mood."

"It's all because of the Olympic Games. One-third of the athletes of the American track and field team have come to our training center to sign up. I heard that the boss gave them a 20% discount. And the Olympic results are so good, it also attracted many people. New client. I think, in a short period of time, my workload will only increase, not decrease." said the coach named Andrew.

"I think this is a good thing." The young coach continued: "After the Olympics, the boss gave us an extra month's salary as a bonus! And I heard that this year's year-end bonus will also be doubled. But the boss It will be even better if you take me with you on your first trip to Europe. It’s equivalent to traveling to Europe for free, which is also a good employee benefit!”

"Single young people like you definitely want to go, but I'm different. This kind of welfare is better than discounting. The air ticket and hotel room and board expenses are discounted as city bonuses, so that I can save a sum of money for my son University. University tuition is too expensive now, and my son can’t get a full scholarship, so he may not be able to pay off the student loan for more than ten years,” said an older coach.

When it was mentioned that the year-end bonus might increase, several people in the locker room started talking, except for the coach named Kenny, who lowered his head and remained silent.

Everyone changed their clothes and walked out of the dressing room one after another. Kenny also walked to his closet. He looked around and no one noticed him, so he took out a file bag from the closet, opened the file bag, took out I checked the files inside and read them carefully.

If anyone was around, they would definitely be able to recognize that this document was a resume, and it was the resume of this "Kenny".

Kenny put away the file bag, sorted his clothes, and left the locker room. He got into his car, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number.

"Mr. Hagrid? I'm Kenny Parker. Where do we meet? Okay, I've brought my resume and I'll be there right away."

Kenny ended the call and looked at the big signboard of "Coach Lee Training Center" not far away.

"I deserve a higher salary, not just a month's bonus."

Hager used to be a data analyst on Wall Street. He usually loves extreme sports. When he was young, he also dreamed of becoming a professional extreme sports athlete. Unfortunately, he didn't have that talent, so he finally embarked on the path of finance.

Playing finance on Wall Street is often like gambling. Hagrid is doing data analysis, and he has seen through this a long time ago. So after saving a sum of money, he chose to leave Wall Street, left New York, and returned to the city. I left my hometown of Los Angeles. He used his savings to buy an extreme sports club and started his new life.

For those who engage in extreme sports, physical fitness is obviously the most important aspect besides some peripherals to ensure safety, so Hagrid hopes to hire a few better physical fitness coaches as the club's physical trainers.

Soon, he set his sights on Dai Li's physical training center. Dai Li's physical training center is the best physical training center in Los Angeles, and even in the whole of the United States. Especially the Olympic results have already made Dai Li famous. So Hagrid felt that the coaches there were also top-notch, so he planned to poach some coaches from Dai Li's training center.

Hagrid inquired with the investigation company, and learned that although Dai Li's training center charges are very high, the salary he offered to his coach was not high, so he immediately planned to use the method of high salary to poach from Dai Li. people.

However, poaching people also needs to pay attention to strategy. Like Chris Payton, he was the first coach to follow Li Dai, and he has already been in charge of a branch. Li Dai even gave him some dry stocks. Dividends, like the core members of Li Dai's team, must not be poached away.

So Hagrid targeted those younger coaches with low salaries who had worked with Dai Li for a period of time but had not entered the core of Dai Li's team.

Kenny Parker was Hagrid's first target, and also the breakthrough point Hagrid chose. He meets the conditions set by Hagrid. He is less than 30 years old, and his salary can only be regarded as the middle-lower level with Dai Li. He has worked in Dai Li's training center for nearly two years, but he has not been promoted or reused. I am afraid that it will be difficult to get a job or salary promotion in a short period of time.

So Hagrid extended an olive branch to Kenny Parker. He went over Hagrid for an interview, and the result was just as Hagrid expected. Kenny Parker was not satisfied with his current salary. After his interview with Hagrid, he decisively accepted the salary offered by Hagrid.

For Hagrid, this is a good start. Next, he plans to offer better conditions, hoping to poach one or two more capable and experienced coaches from Dai Li.

Early in the morning, Hagrid came to his extreme sports club, and he handed the resume to the club's head coach in charge of training.

"Thomas, I plan to invite this person back to enrich our physical coaching team." Hagrid said.

The coach named Thomas is an old employee here. This extreme sports club has changed three bosses, but Thomas has always worked here, and every boss is willing to reuse him. Although his ability is not very outstanding, he excels in doing things steadily, and he also has some fame and contacts in the field of extreme sports. He can be regarded as a seasoned figure.

Coach Thomas took the resume, opened it and looked at it, and he quickly saw that in the column of work experience, there were the words "Coach Li Training Center".

"Boss, did you personally recruit this Kenny Parker?" Thomas asked immediately.

"Yeah, looking for a job now, you talk to the boss directly." Hagrid said with a smile.

"Then you haven't signed the contract yet?" Thomas continued to ask.

"No, but the salary has been negotiated. When he arrives, he can sign the contract directly." Hagrid replied.

"Huh!" Thomas let out a long breath: "Fortunately, I didn't sign the contract, it's fine if I didn't sign the contract."

"Coach Thomas, what do you mean by that? What do you mean if you don't sign the contract?" Hagrid asked a little annoyed. Thomas objected to the person he finally hired, so he was naturally very upset.

Thomas said, "Boss, you just returned to Los Angeles not long ago, so there is one thing you don't know. In Los Angeles, as long as you are engaged in the sports training industry, there is a taboo that you must never touch."

"What taboo?" Hagrid asked.

"Never poach people from Dai Li!" Thomas replied.

"Why?" Hagrid snorted coldly: "I know that Dai Li is the head coach of the US track and field team, but he can't be so domineering! Does he treat the employees as his own private property and his slaves? Work for him alone? Even if I poach someone from him, so what!"

Hagrid looked very angry, and Thomas immediately explained: "Boss, you misunderstood. Coach Li didn't restrict others from going to his training center to recruit people. There were many physical training centers or large gyms before. They poach coaches there, but as a result, they all lose money."

"What do you mean?" Hagrid asked puzzled.

"They poached the coaches from Dai Li, paid them better salaries, and entrusted them with important responsibilities, but those coaches did not show the corresponding ability, which means that the training level of those coaches is not worthy of that. A salary. Clients don’t like low-level coaches, and some physical training centers not only have to pay an expensive salary, but also lost a lot of clients because of it.” Thomas replied.

"That's because they have bad vision!" Hagrid continued: "Thomas, don't worry, I used to do data analysis on Wall Street, and I did a lot of data analysis before I locked the target. This Kenny Parker really He is in Coach Li's training center and has coached many well-known athletes, and those athletes have improved to varying degrees, so the salary I offer him is definitely worth it."

"Boss, I probably didn't explain clearly just now. What I mean is that every coach poached from Dai Li has not shown the ability to match his salary after leaving Coach Li's training center. That is to say , each of them performed very well under Dai Li's hands, but after they left, they all became very bad." Thomas deliberately emphasized: "I'm talking about everyone, no One exception."

Hagrid's expression finally became serious. As a data analyst, he is naturally good at calculating and knows the meaning behind the so-called "everyone, without exception".

"Theoretically speaking, although there is a possibility that everyone is wrong, but in terms of probability, this is impossible. Why? Why is there such a result? Dai Li can do it, Is it okay to leave?" Hagrid asked.

"I don't know, and no one knows why this happened." Thomas shook his head: "Maybe it's that Coach Li, who knows some oriental witchcraft!"

"There's no such thing as witchcraft in this world!" Hagrid shook his head, but Thomas' serious expression made Hagrid's heart tighten, and he continued to ask involuntarily, "Is what you said true? "

Thomas nodded seriously.

"Then we can't have this Kenny Parker." Hagrid is not stupid, he can gain a foothold on Wall Street, so he naturally knows how to avoid risks as much as possible.

In Wall Street, if you are the kind of stunned young man who only knows how to gamble when he sees profits regardless of risks, he would have jumped off the roof of the Empire State Building dozens of times.

"I'll call him right away and tell him I won't hire him!" Hagrid said.
