Chapter 449 Too Shameless!

"Hello, Mr. Abramović, welcome to the Red Bull Stadium!"

At the Red Bull Stadium in New Jersey, representatives of the host of the North American Invitational, Matt Higgins and Charlie Stillitano, greeted Chelsea executives from London with a smile.

Led by the owner Roman Abramovich himself, accompanied by the boss Bruce Buck and CEO Marina Granovskia, plus several core executives of Chelsea, it shows that the Blues are very interested in this one. The importance of the competition.

"Come on, everyone, please come in!"

A group of people walked in noisily, and found that the huge restaurant was temporarily transformed into a banquet hall, which was quite empty at this time.

Looking at the past, the most conspicuous is the big bald head.

No introduction, everyone familiar with football knows him, Milan's general manager Galliani!

It's just that this high-spirited Jiabald man, who couldn't speak a few years ago, seems a little lonely recently. The reason is that he is not in line with the team's princess Barbara, who has the idea of ​​driving Jiabald out of the San Siro stadium.

Milan is the property of someone else. You are a part-time worker, and you have a conflict with your boss. Isn't this a scam?

"Hello, Mr. Galliani!" Abramović greeted him with a smile.

"Long time no see, Mr. Abramovich!" Galliani also stood up and shook hands warmly with the Russian.

I still remember that when Abramovich just bought Chelsea, Galliani didn't feel pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it.

But now, the two are speculating as if they were wearing the same pair of pants.

It really makes people feel that the world is impermanent!

"Looks like we came early!" Abramović glanced at the empty restaurant, a little funny.

In addition to them now, there are reporters from several newspapers in the corner and media people from TV stations.

There was an unnatural look on Galliani's face, but he also squeezed a smile and nodded.

At this moment, there was a burst of loud laughter from the side.

"Haha, it's not early, it's not early, Mr. Abramović, I have long hoped to have the opportunity to get to know you, and now is the right time!"

Abramović and Galliani turned around immediately and found a tall, thin old man with glasses standing beside him.

Matt Higgins came up immediately with a smile, "You two, this is our boss, Stephen Ross!"

Stephen Ross?

This is an American real estate tycoon-level character!

I heard that in the United States, the political and business circles are very open, and the hands and eyes are like a genius!

"Hello, Mr. Ross!"

Abramović and Galliani immediately shook his hand with a smile.

After a friendly greeting, the three sat down.

"This city is different from other cities. On weekends, the whole city is empty. The people who work here usually live in the suburbs, and there are a lot of them in New Jersey."

Abramović and Galliani didn't understand and could only listen obediently.

"After much deliberation, our team decided to schedule the first game of the North American Invitational to kick off at 16:00 p.m. on Saturday.

No hope to attract more fans to the scene! "

"In addition, we also attach great importance to this game. After all, it is the first game. Everyone hopes to be a hit and build a good football market. So for this game, we put a lot of energy and effort into it. We also plan to hold a lively pre-match opening ceremony, and invite a number of stars including Justin's "Dream Has Sail☆ Drunk Watching Happy"? Bieber to help out!"

Abramović, Galliani and the others listened, and they couldn't help but nod their heads.

"Not only that, but there will also be a group of political and business celebrities, including Red Bull, including the Jets, including the executives of Major League Soccer, will come to the scene to help!"

Abramovich and Galliani could not help but nodded.

It can be seen that the opponent has also invested a lot of effort and resources in this event.

"Mr. Ross!" Galliani had a question, "I heard that the International Champions Cup, hosted by Miracle Media, also starts tonight. Where are they?"

Stephen Ross laughed, "It's also in New Jersey, there is no football field in the city, it's not far from here."

"Oh." Galliani nodded, "What about the situation on their side?"

Stephen Ross was obviously prepared, he laughed, "It's very opaque!"

"What's going on?" Galliani wondered.

"I remember that the newspapers in Turin, Italy, reported it before, and I heard that the ticket sales were very gratifying."

Stephen Ross laughed and shook his head, "That's all bullshit. Let me tell you, the largest online ticket company in the United States has only one partner, and that is our North American Invitational Tournament, and they only sell our tickets."

Abramović and Galliani were instantly overjoyed.

Online ticketing companies have been very helpful to ticket sales these days. Without such a partner, Miracle Media's International Champions Cup ticket sales will definitely be hit hard.

"Before they released news that how many tickets were sold within 24 hours, it seemed to be very scarce, but anyone familiar with the American Internet knows that that kind of data is not credible at all, it's too exaggerated!"

Everyone nodded in unison, and the Internet often relies on blowing.

Didn't someone say it?

Standing in the wind, pigs can fly to the sky!

"They only sell tickets online, and we are different. We have very stable partners. We sell tickets online and offline at the same time, and our data will be more reliable!"

When Galliani heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Then, Mr. Ross, how is the attendance rate for this game?"

He not only cares about the attendance rate, but also cares about whether the peak match between Milan and Chelsea can detonate the American football market.

You must know that this is not just a matter of ticket sales. Once the American football market is detonated and aroused widespread attention from all walks of life in the American society, Milan's influence in the United States will be greatly enhanced.

By that time, the American sponsors will not come in droves?

"Very impressive, almost sold out!" Stephen Ross replied with a laugh.

Abramovich and Galliani listened, and a heart was put down.

Worrying about the cold field during the warm-up match is too embarrassing, isn't it?

Especially after the media and newspapers all over the world have exaggerated, people who don't know think that Milan and Chelsea have already lost their aura of giants!

"Don't worry, we are old partners with more than ten years of cooperation experience. We dare to arrange the game at the same time as them, which shows that we have extremely strong self-confidence!"

Stephen Ross said it was very exciting, it was full of pride.

"This is the United States, and we are confident enough to give those who think that acquiring a company will be able to enter the American market, give them a head-on attack, because there is no one who is more familiar with and understands the American sports market than us!"

This remark made Abramovich and Galliani a little bit on fire.

Although both of their teams get the appearance fee, they don't care whether the game is successful or not.

But you can't quite see it that way.

After all, if the event runs successfully, it will definitely be beneficial for them.

Besides, the places for the eight teams in the two groups of the International Champions Cup are already full, and they can't squeeze in at all now. They can only pin their hopes on the success of the North American Invitational Tournament and even surpass the International Champions Cup.

Especially like Galliani, who made a huge bid to the negotiating team of the International Champions Cup and scared them off. Now if the North American Invitational is screwed up, what will they do in the future?

Is it possible to take the initiative to come to the door without begging the International Champions Cup to let them participate?

Does it still have the character of a giant team?

But if you don't go, you have the character, but the huge U.S. market and huge economic interests, don't you want it?

Therefore, Galliani's heart is to pray to God and worship Buddha, and he is looking forward to the success of the North American Invitational!

Several people were chatting over there, and the time passed minute by minute.

As the luncheon time approached, although there were guests arriving one after another, compared with the guests of the entire banquet, there were still too few and it seemed very empty.

This time there was a lot of discussion in the banquet hall.

"Why is it all this time, people haven't come yet?"

"Isn't it not coming?"

"How could it not come?"

"I heard that there is also a banquet opposite!"

"It wouldn't be so coincidental would it?"

"Who said it wasn't? The game time is determined by the other side first, and here comes the follower. The same is true for the luncheon. Many guests have already accepted the invitation from the other side. Is it possible for them to suddenly change their tune?"

"It makes sense!"

"Also, let me tell you, there are not as many guests invited on the opposite side, but in addition to the team representatives, there are also sponsor representatives. I heard before that James Murdoch from News Corp will also be there!"

"real or fake?"

"Fox finally negotiated the right to live broadcast of the International Champions Cup in the United States, are you telling the truth?"

"Hey, I heard that ESPN is given to overseas regions, Peninsula is given to the Middle East, Sky TV is given to the UK and Europe, and CCTV is given to CCTV at a low price in China!"

"Who said no? There are live broadcasts in almost most parts of the world, but here they don't even sell live TV."

"It won't be so bad, will it?"

"It's so miserable, look at it, no one will come!"

The voices of everyone's discussions came over, and Stephen Ross's face was quite ugly.

Abramovich and Galliani even looked at each other, and they could see the depression in each other's hearts.

Damn, you said so much just now, you are bragging about your feelings!

Just then, a reporter suddenly stood up and spoke on the phone.

"...I'm too noisy here, you should be louder, what? It's crowded over there? The audience is full? No way?"

"Oh, so many stars sing, well, I'll be right over here!"

As he said that, he saw that man was in a hurry to pack up his things, and ran away as if flying.

Damn, I didn't even say goodbye!

So disrespectful!

When they saw their fellow reporters running to find the news, all the reporters immediately followed their intentions.

Not long after, the second person ran to complain to the organizer. Although he found a temporary reason for the incident, everyone could see that he was going to the opposite side to get news.

third, fourth...

In less than five minutes, the reporter ran for more than half.

As soon as the reporters ran away, some of the guests couldn't sit still.

Just as Abramovich and Galliani were scolding reporters in their hearts, someone came over.

"I'm sorry, Stephen, there are still some things in the company temporarily, we have to go back and deal with it!"

Stephen Rose stood up in surprise, "No, Gabel, you are the president of Major League Soccer, you promised me to come to sit in, now..."

"I'm sorry, Stephen, something really happened, something really happened..."

Having said that, he has walked out of the door all the way without question.

Someone started, and one after another, someone followed.

"Stephen, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, and I have to go back and have a rest!"

"What's the matter? What's wrong?"

"I... my butt hurts..."

"Ass hurts...I..."

Before Stephen Ross could react, the man left again.

At this time, everyone can see it, and this person's heart is scattered!

Even those who choose to stay, how many do not want to think about the other side? (To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Chuangshi to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
