Text Chapter 1208 Miscellaneous

The color of Skyman's jersey is blue and white, and the team logo is a fairy like an angel. Anyway, it is a humanoid creature with wings, and the humanoid pattern is blurred. The team emblem actually highlights just a pair of wings of freedom.

The main thing is to keep it as simple as possible, otherwise the fans will put up patterns, it will be too complicated and eye-catching and tiring.

The team uniforms were designed by designers from Louis Vuitton, taking fashion and color into account. Blue and white are not interlaced like stripes, but a white base color, and the blue makes some patterns, with compassion and the like, full of fashion sense.

The away game also has a white background and a yellow background. Zhou Jiexi looked at the uniforms of his football team, and was already thinking about updating his basketball team uniforms. It happens to be able to sell another batch, well, let’s sell it as the commemorative edition of the Big Four of the Warriors generation, and someone will definitely collect it back.

While Zhou Jiexi was busy with team work, league president Don Garber had already arrived in San Francisco. According to the information sent by the Sky team, they plan to hold a press conference in one or two days. At present, the team manager has been found, and the team coach has re-elected a small champion coach in Europe. Non-championship coaches.

None of these matters, Zhou Jiexi's entry into the Major League Soccer is the best news. Players increase their influence, and team owners can also increase their influence. The next broadcast fee is estimated to increase by several hundred million.

When he came, Zhou Jiexi was still in the office, talking to the general manager of his new team about player salaries.

The North American professional sports league pays attention to the minimum salary system. The minimum annual salary of m.lS adult players is 48,500 US dollars, and the basic salary of players under the age of 25 is as low as 36,500 US dollars.

Compare yourself with N.F.L. NFL is quite rich, but the minimum annual salary is only 420,000 US dollars for some reason, and Major League Baseball (m.lB) is 500,000 US dollars; ; The NHL is actually the richest, $550,000. In comparison, it seems that m.lS is really living a hard life. This has not yet been compared with the Premier League. The average annual salary of the rich teams can reach 2.75 million US dollars, which is simply double heaven.

"Robby, this is not a healthy state." Zhou Jiexi frowned a little, and said to the general manager of his team, "Young people can't get a salary that can support their families, and they will probably give up this sport."

"With an annual income of 340,000 US dollars in San Francisco, they need to do more to have money to support their families. If our team's performance is not good, these young people may take part-time jobs or give up this career."

"Boss, what do you mean?"

Zhou Jiexi meant of course that the salary should be raised a bit. Henry gave him an annual salary of 4.5 million, and other goal awards, appearance fees, assists, etc., he also has a contract.

All this money has been spent, and it is acceptable for those young players to spend an extra ten to twenty thousand dollars. "Our minimum salary is set at 45,000 U.S. dollars. In addition, if the game is won, I will personally reward the winning bonus, 500 U.S. dollars for the first game, and 200 U.S. dollars for the following."

"You will be a good boss!" the manager Robbie said with emotion.

"Millions of dollars have been spent, and tens of thousands of dollars are still missing?" Zhou Jiexi smiled and shook his head and said, "Now you have handed over everything about the coach, and I will call the consultant for the position of the manager. Let me help you share a little bit first, there are no lower-level teams in the league, and this has an impact on our substitute existence."

"My team in the NBA has teams in the lower echelons, so that players who are not in good condition can be sent down for training temporarily, and some players who can be played below can be selected."

"Our football team, if we want to have a development prospect, we must build our own lower echelon. I plan to buy a US second team and invest in a football school near the end. To build players of all ages, you have been working with me recently. Consultants, let’s build this first! We must have our own local players, compared to buying players from abroad, no matter what skin color you are, local players can always make the local football market much better.”

What Zhou Jiexi said is what Robbie wants. How can a healthy team not have its own backup force. Adding your own local players is also easy for fans to accept and has a more sense of honor.

The two of them were almost chatting, and the secretary outside called in.

"Don Garber? He's here so soon?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay, I'll come out right away!" Zhou Jiexi hung up the phone after finishing speaking, looked at the general manager of his team and said, "Let's go out and have a look. Mr. President of the league, it seems a little impatient!"

"Good boss!" Robbie said immediately.

This is not the first time for Zhou Jiexi to meet the president of m.ls, he has met several times before. His team's affairs are also decided by him, and he has always supported him. Although he thinks more commercially, he still has some good feelings.

The secretary took him to the important guest room of Team Sky, Zhou Jiexi didn't say anything else, in terms of enjoyment, although he was a little mean to himself, he was very good to the outside world. For example, the reception room for important guests is made of Italian furniture, made by French designers, full of fashion and sports elements, which is better than that of the Warriors.

When you enter the door, you can see the standard team logo of Skyman, a pair of wings of freedom. The same goes for opening the door and entering, a bigger wing of freedom. At this time, an old man looked around everywhere, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. It is a high-end product for hospitality, and the limited supply of coffee in Sky City.

"Hello, Mr. Jiabo! Nice to meet you!" Zhou Jiexi walked over and said with a smile on his face.

"Me too, Jesse!" Garber told him as he put down his coffee.

Zhou Jiexi nodded, and after accepting him, he introduced the person next to him, "This is the manager of my team, Robbie Blair!"

"Hello, Mr. Blair," said Don Garber.

"Hello, Mr. President!" Robbie said professionally. It doesn't seem too close, but it definitely won't make people feel alienated. The main reason is that the boss is on the side, and he can't do anything to steal the limelight. Especially this boss, you have to pay extra attention to this.

Several people sat down one after another, and after chatting a few words about coffee, Don Jiabo spoke directly. He didn't just come to chat like that, "How are your preparations for the press conference?"

"According to the day we set, this point will not be changed at will!" Zhou Jiexi said. "We have notified some of the media here. I wonder if the alliance has any preparations?"

"You are ready, of course we will start the publicity plan immediately." Don Garber said.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about, but this is also Mr. Chairman, Zhou Jiexi accompanied him to watch his team's training. American football is only at this level. Zhou Jiexi can only say that he is so-so now. After all, the signings are not over yet, and many players are still being recruited.

After watching Henry shoot the goal, Mr. Chairman nodded with satisfaction. The King of Highbury is still very energetic and has the ability to present good-looking football in the American Major League. There are also attractive places, which are what he needs.

"We still have more signing plans!" Zhou Jiexi said as he walked: "We are currently negotiating with several teams. I plan to sign Japanese players, Korean players. In addition, Iran, we Also sent scouts, and India."

Don Jiabo nodded understandingly, and couldn't help but praise the young man in his heart. In order to attract fans to fill his stadium, he really can do anything. It is estimated that he will do this in the United States after signing from the Asian region not far away.

Only he is the most suitable for this job, not only because he is Chinese and Asian. Also because this is California, and this is the San Francisco Bay Area, there are many immigrants from the Asian region.

"Recently, I am negotiating with Park Ji-sung of Manchester United, and I hope to sign him up!"

"Park Ji-sung" Don Garber is a little curious and expectant. This is at least an iconic figure, even if it is only an iconic figure in South Korea, but according to the urine of Koreans, he brought their national football representative to the United States. Come, maybe it can attract tens of millions of attention!

"Yes, three lung flutters! Although he is only a mid-level figure in the top league, he is very iconic!" Zhou Jiexi said.

Mr. President nodded in agreement: "We can consider holding a press conference for him at that time, and the alliance can also give him publicity support!"

Zhou Jiexi shook his head and said, "These are not enough, I need a few more special places, players who do not occupy our team's salary cap. Otherwise, I will bring back some star players, but they don't have such a high salary cap at all. The team is not good news!"

The special quota is specially created in the Major League Soccer to enhance its influence. It is to encourage the team owners in the league to dig those world-class stars, don't worry about the salary cap, as long as you have money and can find people.

After thinking for a while, Don Garber said, "We need a meeting to think about it!"

"OK, no problem, I can wait for this little time!" Zhou Jiexi nodded and said.

The chat between two people is basically an exchange of interests. It has been counted by time. Whether the time for the two of them to get along has reached the point where we have to say to the outside world that we have a good personal relationship.

time of the third day.

The media with sports pages in the United States came, and after the promotion in Europe, many media also came. Especially the British media, there are quite a few people from Fleet Street. The former Arsenal captain, the King of Highbury, is now in Arsenal's 'embrace' again, even if this person is just a shareholder of the Arsenal team.

But such a combination, in their view, is full of a lot of information and a lot of news. Some time ago, the conflicts between Arsenal shareholders that were exposed now seem to be getting more and more intense.

The team's living on a tight budget has annoyed the rich boss behind them. They are short of money, but you live his team as if they are short of money.
