Chapter 50: Preston North End F.C. and Negotiation

Helder and Amy took the first flight to England for negotiation.

Helder didn't want to leave his father but had to go because of his mother's insistence.

"Don't worry, I know your father's will is the same as mine. It is our greatest desire, Helder, that you continue to play football." said her mother, before Helder left the hospital.

Helder felt something strange after hearing that.

Was it a feeling he had never experienced before?

****

Helder and Amy met up with Mr. Jack, who was to meet them at the airport.

"Welcome to our city, Miss Amy and Helder," said Jack.

Jack's expression was happy.

"Thanks." said both.

"I would like to take you on a city tour, but our President and Football Director are waiting," said Jack.

"Thank you for your opinion. But we also want to meet with the managers as soon as possible," said Amy.

"Sure, please follow me. I had to park the car far away because of the traffic."

Jack, Amy, and Helder walked together to the car.

Jack, with his long brown hair and glasses, was one of the first people to stand out at the airport. His eyes were brown. He looked to be in his 40s. The nose structure was wide. He stood out directly with his suit and purple tie.

Jack was also responsible for the transportation of the transfer negotiations for the Football Team.

They got into a black car.

While in the car, Jack told Amy and Helder about the club's history.

He spoke at length.

He talked about being the first champions, winning the FA Cup twice. The legendary goalkeeper of the team, Alan Kelly Sr. talked about Sir Tom Finney, the legendary winger and dozens of times playing for the national team.

Helder smiled when he heard the name, Tom.

"Helder had a rivalry with Tom Finney. At the end of the friendly match between Germany and England, Tom and Helder changed their jerseys. It was the first and only time Helder had seen Tom. As he recalled, Tom seemed like a gentleman…"

Helder was trying to remember the old days when…

"We came," said Jack.

They got out of the car.

They started walking towards the clubhouse.

Helder looked at Amy.

Amy looked a little uneasy.

"Are you excited?" asked Helder.

"No, but I'm afraid. Because for the first time, I will participate in the negotiation as a representative."

"Take a deep breath and go with the flow. You don't need to be nervous or afraid. I know you will be successful in negotiation."

Amy was both happy and self-confident after these words.

Together they entered the building.

Jack led them to the meeting room.

"Thanks for helping us out, Mr. Jack," said Helder.

"With pleasure," he said and left.

Amy knocked on the door.

"Enter." said a voice inside.

Amy swallowed and walked in with Helder.

There were 3 people in the room.

Two of them were in suits, one in sweatpants.

The suits were club president Alex Morten and football director Wayne Sam.

The one in the tracksuit was Cris Felipe, the coach of the club.

The club's president, Alex Morten, gestured to the seat.

"Miss Amy and Helder don't stand, please sit down." said.

Amy and Helder sat on the couch together.

Wayne, the club's football director, began to speak.

"We would like to have a long chat with you, but as you know, the transfer window is about to end. So can we talk business directly?" ' Wayne asked.

"We also want to finish the transactions quickly," said Amy.

Helder was just watching.

President Wayne passed the papers in front of him in front of Amy.

Amy began to study the contract.

1: Footballer Helder Xerxes will receive £2,500 per week.

2: Footballer Helder Xerxes will receive £120,000 a year.

3: The contract with football player Helder Xerxes will be 1.5 years.

4: In case of injury to football player Helder Xerxes, no payment will be made until the injury is over.

5: If football player Helder Xerxes is injured for a long time, Preston North End F.C has the right to terminate the contract.

There were many other substances and procedures.

The payment was very low. Even by league standards, these payouts were extremely low.

Amy pointed out items 4 and 5 specifically to Helder.

Helder's injury was not a chronic one. He couldn't understand why there were such deterrents on disability.

But what could he do?

He had been away from football for a very long time.

Amy was going to object to the contract just as…

[ACCEPT THE AGREEMENT.]

Helder whispered in Amy's ear.

"Let's face it, just trust me." said.

What will Amy do?
