Text Chapter 1206: Player Selection

An Asian who looks very young, according to the aesthetics of the women he knows, this young man is still very good. It can be called handsome. If calculated according to the wealth he owns, it can be said that this young man is really handsome and attractive.

Well, one thing Henry has to admit is that this doesn't seem to have much to do with him, it's just that the boss has money.

"Hey, Henry, it's really great to meet you!" Zhou Jiexi walked over and said enthusiastically.

"Hello boss!" Henry also smiled and shook hands with him and said, "On the Internet some time ago, your words really made the fans happy."

"Are you the same?" Zhou Jiexi asked pointedly.

"Of course, those board members, not so likable."

Zhou Jiexi liked to hear this, so he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "It's a fact! A group of poor ghosts who have never seen money, their eyes can only see the distance of their own shit!"

Henry didn't say anything about this, he doesn't seem to have as much money as those directors. Although I know that Zhou Jiexi didn't mean that, but getting along with rich people is really stressful!

He also realized that he had made a mistake: "Sorry, don't pay attention to what I just said, these words are only for Arsenal shareholders!"

"It's okay, I know it!" Henry nodded and said, "The actions of those people will indeed make people much more angry!"

"Okay, let's not talk about things over there, let's talk about the present, talk about the future!" Zhou Jiexi happily changed the topic, and for Henry to join him, he also learned from his agent through the operation team. Learned something over there. It's just that the scene of the incident is not a promised time. When he takes charge of Arsenal, he can make a guarantee for this incident.

Otherwise, those directors might not mind embarrassing him. But who knows, Zhou Jiexi thinks about his secret actions. Although he doesn't have much advantage in holding the shares as a whole now, he will be able to take charge of Arsenal soon after he cooperates with the Russian chubby.

Henry nodded.

Zhou Jiexi went on to say, "What do you think about the team?"

"Um..." Henry took a moment to think about how to answer such a question, whether to tell the truth or just say it casually.

This also made Zhou Jiexi realize that he had asked a stupid question. Obviously, he was the only star on his team. In fact, he is still a star who is close to retirement, and some of them are just famous in the past.

He couldn't help but said with a wry smile, "Okay, I asked a stupid question!"

When Zhou Jiexi said this, Henry really liked it, at least it proved that the young man in front of him knew his shortcomings and really wanted to improve the team. If you have money, these things are obviously much easier to do.

"After all, the atmosphere of American football is not as good as in Europe. We can all be sure of this. But I have also seen the development of the American major leagues in the past few years. The number of fans and influence are increasing every year. These are good things. information."

"The overall atmosphere may not be as popular as in Europe, but San Francisco where we are located also has an advantage. There are many immigrants. Compared with traditional Americans, immigrants are more able to accept football as a sport. The San Francisco Bay Area where we are located, It has a great fan base."

Zhou Jiexi eloquently explained a lot of words, mostly good news, and of course he couldn't cover up his own shortcomings. It's all visible anyway.

"Although our players are not bad now, their overall level is similar to that of second-tier European teams. However, we have been working on recruiting players. I believe it will get better in the future!"

Henry cared about these things, but he didn't care that much because he was here to provide for the elderly. Even if he wins a championship here, not many sports media will report on it. At most, the local media and the regional media with the team will report it. The European side may not report the news here at all.

Who knows.

Anyway, it's enough to deal with the boss in front of him. Zhou Jiexi is very satisfied with the understanding of the King of Highbury. Hello, hello, so that everyone can be well. This is Zhou Jiexi's usual principle of life, give me face, and I will give you face. Isn't it just money. Brother, a few hundred million is about to be spent to build the headquarters, and you are still short of several million here.

After communicating with Henry, Zhou Jiexi chatted with other unknown people in the team. That is, two sentences, not one sentence too much. There is no need for that at all, he doesn't care who is who compared to the guys who are even more unattractive than the Chinese Super League players.

The operation team has not yet decided on who will be the general manager, and Zhou Jiexi has not made up his mind. The few competitive consultants in it have no intention of serving here at all. Well, obviously I don't like this team. Compared with the Warriors in the NBA, this small football team is probably a malnourished child, and not many people like it.

At most, it's just a sympathy. Now they have done a good job in the team's early preparations, just to save a little sympathy for the unlucky guy who is about to take office.

As soon as he entered the office, Zhou Jiexi sat down directly, and lifted his feet up on the conference table. "Is there a candidate for the general manager? I don't want to be the general manager when the press conference is held."

"Boss, we have already found it. We contacted eight people, and three of them replied to us. They have plans to come to us to serve, and we have selected one person who has ten years of experience in the American major leagues. The deputy manager within the LA Galaxy is now interested in accepting our position."

"If you think it's ok, let him go. Inform him and come to work tomorrow. Send him the documents that need to be remembered today, and get into the state as soon as possible. We will hold a media conference the day after tomorrow. If there is no publicity, the league Everyone inside is waiting anxiously!"

No one laughed at these words. The Major League Soccer is indeed a bit shabby. Apart from Beckham, the only star player is their team's Henry. The truth is that there is really not much to watch.

"Where's the team coach?" Zhou Jiexi asked.

"Now the assistant coach of the team we purchased will be temporarily in charge!" Zhou Jiexi's consultant, a big black man with a pair of glasses on his face, looks a bit professional, he reported.

"Okay, how is he?" Zhou Jiexi asked.

"In terms of specific coaching ideas, he is not bad, but he is not very experienced and has never proven himself. We think we need to find an experienced old guy to come back as a coach. If he wants to, he can stay and continue to be an assistant. Coach, maybe you can consider letting him coach in the future."

Zhou Jiexi nodded, indicating that he understood: "Then let's do it this way. After the new general manager is in place, let him talk to him."

"Okay, boss!"

There were several documents on the edge of the desk with his feet up, and Zhou Jiexi hooked his hands, motioning for Meizi to bring them over. He also said: "The team market development, and the introduction of players, do you have any suggestions?"

"According to what you mean, boss, we suggest that Asian players can be considered. This is a good attraction for our fans in the San Francisco Bay Area, and it can bring us more benefits. Only in terms of ticket sales, it will achieve good results. score."

"Like the Warriors?" Zhou Jiexi asked.

"Yes, boss!" The consultant nodded: "Like the Warriors' current role player for a few minutes, Ha Seung-jin. Although he is not good in all aspects, but with this person in the team, at least ticket sales and peripheral jersey sales Wait, it can improve a lot. For example, in our South Korean specialty store, Ha Seung Town's jersey sales have actually entered the third place."

Speaking of which, the consultants here feel that it is somewhat impossible that such a big player can still have this kind of sales. Although surprised, but the facts are in front of them, what they believe in is the data, this thing can't deceive people.

Zhou Jiexi nodded seriously, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Talk about your own thoughts."

After speaking, the consultants handed him a document. Zhou Jiexi opened the first page and saw that the Korean player Park Ji-sung was ranked first. "It's him?"

"Yeah!" After nodding, the man said: "Last year, South Korean star Park Ji-sung agreed to renew his contract with Manchester United for 3 years! But everyone knows that he has reached the end of his career. He has suffered from knee injuries for a long time. Zhong simply can’t run with all his strength, he can no longer help the team more, leaving the giants is his only choice!”

"Although the contract with Manchester United is renewed, there is more inside news, and it is just to give him a good treatment when he goes to other teams in the final stage. The most important thing is that Park Ji-sung's treatment is actually not that high. "

"Park Ji-sung will enjoy a weekly salary of 70,000 pounds in the next three years, which means that his annual salary will be 3.65 million pounds. In the past, Park Ji-sung's weekly salary was less than 50,000 pounds. This contract extension has increased his annual income by 1.02 million pounds. Much, although he has undoubtedly become the highest-paid player in Asian history."

"In the past, the highest earner in Asia was Hidetoshi Nakata, who played for Parma in Serie A, but his annual salary was only 2.4 million US dollars, less than 1.5 million pounds.

"Since joining Manchester United from Eindhoven in the Netherlands in 2005, Park Ji-sung has played more than 100 games for Ferguson's team and scored 12 goals in 126 appearances."

"Park Ji-sung's new contract means that he has only entered the middle-income class at Manchester United, on par with Wes Brown and other semi-main players. Park Ji-sung's weekly salary of 70,000 pounds is only higher than that of the main central defender Vidic. If the Serbian international renews his contract in the future The latter will be about 100,000 a week."

Only now did Jiexi Zhou say, "It is impossible for me to pay him such a high salary!"

Well, this is the key point. Zhou Jiexi doesn't think that people who come to retire are worth such a high salary, unless he is Beckham, the overall improvement brought by them is worthy of recognition. What you pay can also be rewarded in the future. Park Ji-sung is not some Asian Beckham.
