Aldrich roughly understood what Barnett meant by the important things he had previously said.
At the end of the supper, Aldrich did not say anything more, and whether Barnett and Blaise asked tentatively or bluntly, he said in a cautious tone that he was going home to think about it.
He was well aware of his place in Barnett's heart, and once he opened his golden mouth, Barnett would make a quick decision.
On the drive back to the villa, Melanie yawned after a tiring journey, leaning back in her seat and turning her head to stare at Aldrich, who was thinking about the drive.
"Your cousin wants to be promoted, what does that have to do with you? Even your eldest brother made a special trip, I think it's a big fuss. ”
Aldrich stretched out a hand to pinch her face and sighed, "It's not as simple as you think, things can't just look at the surface. ”
Melanie held his palm, pressed half of her face to his palm, closed her eyes comfortably, and said disapprovingly, "Is it complicated?" ”
"Sort of, my eldest brother's idea is very simple, that is, I want the Hall family to become the top celebrity and wealthy family in the UK, this can't just rely on money, even if I won the knighthood awarded by the royal family two months ago, this is nothing, Blaise is a member of our big family, the eldest brother wants to support his development in politics, maybe nothing can be seen in the short term, but in the long run, my eldest brother is really ambitious."
Melanie said with a smile: "Blaise is still a town mayor at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve this year, what can he do in the future by himself?" By the way, show me your medal. ”
"Uh, it's in the apartment. Another day. ”
The knighthood was awarded to him by the British royal family for his achievements in the Champions League with LinkedIn Gran, an honor that is not synonymous with football achievements. It is not that Aldridge will definitely be awarded the medal if he wins the Champions League, but the positive influence he has created over the years, the influence he has brought to British society, and the team winning the Champions League is just an opportunity.
Aldrich was still thinking about his mind while driving, whether it was a family or a consortium, but anyone with strong capital. can't avoid the field of political connections, Barnett deliberately brought Blaise to Aldridge today, is it really because Blaise doesn't want to be mayor anymore?
If it really is. That's no different from what Melanie said: make a big fuss.
To support a small councillor to climb up, the lower the level, the more money can be piled up, but to a certain level. Money is only the basics.
Behind the politics of votes is a war for money. Candidates with more campaign funds behind them will be able to create more influence and get more votes.
Barnett's investment is in politics, and with his point of naming Blaise as a Conservative MP, it is clear that he is considering whether to become a backroom campaign sponsor of the Conservative Party.
In fact, Barnett did not have many options, because the Labour Party had just come to power, and it was the time of the spring breeze. That's when he ran to the door to get in touch with the Labour Party, even if it was a lot of money. It's just the icing on the cake, and now the investment is put on the Conservative Party, it's different, that's a relief in the snow, but the crux of the matter is that no one can guarantee when the Labour Party will step down, if the Conservative Party is suppressed for many years from then on, Barnett's financial support will be lost, of course, there are also measures to avoid risks, European bookmakers will open political campaigns, as long as they put some more bets on the opponent, then no matter what the outcome, at least the losses will be minimized.
Melanie was asleep when Aldrich drove home, and he carefully carried her back to the villa, where they bathed together and went to bed.
There was one thought that had been swirling through his head.
In the middle of the night, he got out of bed, went to the balcony and smoked a cigarette, then took out the phone and called Barnett.
The eldest brother had already fallen asleep, and it took a long time to answer the phone, and his voice was normal.
"It's so late, there must be something important, let's talk about it."
"If you want to support Blaise to make a difference in politics, go find someone."
"Looking for whom? Big shots in Downing Street? ”
"No, if I'm not mistaken, he has orthodox royal blood, and I don't know how he's getting mixed up now, but you can take a bet on him, this man's name is Cameron."
"Is Cameron a last name or a given name? What about the full name? ”
"I forgot."
"Aldrich, I don't understand, you can't even remember the name of a man, but let me gamble on him."
"In short, he should be a Conservative. Alright, I'm going to sleep, good night. ”
Aldrich hung up.
The future Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he still remembers the name, but where this thing is now, how can he know the Tao.
But it is not difficult to find a person with orthodox royal blood, in the United Kingdom, although the royal family has only symbolic meaning, but face is still wanted, so Princess Diana's death has also been accused by conspiracy theories of being a black hand under the royal family.
Aldridge stood on the balcony looking up at the starry sky, the stars were full of stars, and he had to wait for Cameron to come to power, which was more than ten years later, but investing in politics must be a long-term investment, the longer the time, the stronger the alliance barriers, and before Cameron entered Downing Street, he would inevitably become the leader of the Conservative Party, and big names such as the party whip were also full of energy.
Just as he excavated football superstars in advance, the development of the family business can also be shortcut in this way.
Now that Cameron was in mind, Aldridge took out his phone and sent another text message to Barnett.
Only two lines were written.
Germany, female, Merkel.
America, male, Obama
Speaking of European and American leader-level politicians, Aldrich only remembers the three in the future, Cameron because he is young, Merkel because he is a woman, Obama needless to say, the leading brother of US imperialism, the perennial top three figures in the global power list, who doesn't know?
It's not that Aldrich doesn't know about figures like Blair and Bush. It's useless to know the road, and football is the same truth, everyone is a well-known star with a loud head. Do you need to say it?
After worrying, Aldrich returned to the bedroom, but Melanie woke up, she sat on the bed, half of the silk pajama strap fell on her elbow, she stared at Aldrich helplessly and asked, "Don't you want me?" ”
Aldrich made a standing start and smiled, "My answer." Here it comes. ”
With that, he took two steps and threw himself on the bed, Melanie leaning back and screaming. Then he was crushed by Aldrich
The next day, the team had a half-day holiday, and Aldridge accompanied Melanie to go shopping early in the morning, but neither of them was a shopaholic. Shopping is all about relaxing and relaxing. There are many beautiful parks in London, and when the two are together, they often walk hand in hand in the park like an old husband and wife.
After lunch, Melanie was going back to Liverpool to reunite with her family, while Aldrich had a job, and the two were tired of being in the airport waiting hall for a long time before they reluctantly parted.
On the drive to the club, Aldridge received a strange phone call.
"Hey, Aldrich Hall, hello. Which one, please? ”
"Aldrich, how's it going?"
Aldrich heard the voice. Somewhat hesitantly, he asked, "Mr. Bobby-Robson?" ”
"Yes."
"Oh, I've been doing well lately, I heard that you're coaching in the Netherlands again, congratulations."
Bobby Robson returned to Eindhoven and is considered a firefighter, Eindhoven's summer players supermarket opened, and Cenden, Koku and other big players were swept away by European powers, and his life should be difficult, but the old coach has seen all the winds and waves, and he should be able to be at peace with the situation.
"Hehe, I called you because I wanted to ask you for something."
"Oh, tell me about it."
"Millwall are looking for first-team coaches and assistant coaches, right?"
"Yes, I had two assistants leave in the summer, and now there are vacancies in coaching positions."
"I recommend it to you, I hope you agree to use him, this man is a bit young, but I guess, with your style, it's not a problem."
Aldridge had a man in his mind and smiled: "Is it Mourinho?" If he wants to come to Millwall, he doesn't need an interview and goes straight to work. ”
"Huh? Jose? No, he has a job in Barcelona and I'm not talking about him. ”
"Huh?"
Aldrich was confused.
Coming to Millwall as a coach, Bobby Robson personally recommended him, and said that this man was young.
Aldridge only thinks of Mourinho.
Do Magic Birds like to stay in Barcelona?
"Oh, and what's the name of the person you're recommending?"
"Villas Boas. He was my assistant four years ago, when he was 17 years old, he is 21 years old this year, he didn't come to Holland with me, his dream is to lead the team as a manager, I think if he goes to study with you, it will help him a lot in the future, of course, the work you give him, he will definitely be able to do it 100 percent, don't look at his youth, his understanding of football is far beyond his peers. ”
Aldrich also remembered now, the emotion is Boas.
Mourinho's younger brothers are all coaches or assistants who originally followed Robson.
Looking at Boas more than a decade later, objectively speaking, it is remarkable.
Although he hasn't been able to prove himself in the major leagues and first-team teams, he's young, and given his age, it's great to be in the Premier League manager's position, and he's a manager with no playing experience, which is similar to Aldridge.
"Villas-Boas, well, I know, let him come, come over as a first-team coach, we have a lot of young people here, the atmosphere is good, at least he doesn't have to worry about the pressure of age."
"Hehe, that's good, I'll let him go to Millwall to officially apply for a job."
Aldridge then chatted with Robson a few more times, then hung up the phone, and soon he was at the club.
Not in a hurry to go to the training ground, he first went to the personnel department to ask for application information.
Millwall is recruiting, and there are many people who recommend themselves to the door, and even some coaches in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League also want to change jobs, but they will pass on information through intermediaries, and will not send a cover letter to the door, otherwise if it is exposed, wouldn't it be inside and out?
Aldrich flipped through the resumes one by one, and sure enough, he found Villas Boas inside.
In fact, Boas's cover letter was delivered to the club the day before yesterday, and after waiting for two days without news, Robson was asked to come forward.
He really wanted to come to Millwall to study, and Aldridge didn't know that Boas almost regarded him as an idol
Yes, the young coach who has never played football is almost a template with Boas, plus he has studied football knowledge since he was a child, Boas can become Robson's assistant at the age of 17, but it is not pie in the sky that Boas can become Robson's assistant at the age of 17, but the football knowledge accumulated before the age of 17 has helped him achieve such an opportunity.
Aldridge pulled out Boas's resume and handed it to the staff, and the person who replaced Tolop after his departure chose Boas, took down the job posting, and replied to the results of other applicants.
He started to check another stack of cover letters, for the assistant coach position, and Benitez's departure also needed a successor.
Flipping through the pages, Aldridge suddenly stopped, and he saw a familiar name, and one that was by no means unfamiliar in European football.
Klinsmann! (To be continued......)
