To one well-known journalist, female, arrived a phone call from a girlfriend:
- Listen, here from one country, known for oil and gas revenues, a strong noise is heard.
- I'm really busy right now. The situation is tense.
- They kind of invite you to job.
- How many money they offer?
- About a sum somehow the speech doesn't go ...
- What the invitation is this?..
- At them it is so accepted.
- For the sake of what to me to pay attention to it? To spend time for negotiations, and then to get out of all this situation with a headache?
- But they can offer your a big money. You can't guess them. Depends on their mood.
- What means "big"? 100 million dollars a month?
- I wouldn't contact them for a hundred million dollars a month. But if they offered 100 billion dollars a month, I would agree. I'd work one day or less and then would leave.
"This situation needs to be approached creatively," - the well - known journalist thought.
She looked through the phone book and after 10 minutes dialed the number of the famous football coach:
- Hello, signor. You're the expert ... I have a job offer. But the amount has not yet been named. What do you recommend?
...
- But I'm not in construction!
...
- I don't have a penchant for construction!
...
- To offer a TV show "Miniature woman is building a big stadium"?
...
- Your advice: "To combine a TV show with a construction and to demand 100 billion dollars a month, with coefficient 1,5". Thanks!
At the journalist the head has ached.
"I haven't started negotiations yet, and I have a headache." Suddenly the headache went away and the mood improved:
"When I will act on television in the native land again, I will play a sketch "As I was invited to work"". "But if the audience will complain about a hint? If some of the audience or the management of the broadcaster will think that I hint to the "black" money!"
I will go I will be engaged in aerobics! Couple of hours!
The journalist has gone to the gym.
