Chapter 857 Hong Kong Football Will Be Very Poor!

The most successful sports event in Hong Kong is Hong Kong horse racing.

The richest sports event in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

On the contrary, Xiangjiang Football Club is a very poor sports project in Xiangjiang.

That's exactly what it is.

At this time, all important positions in the Hong Kong Jockey Club were held by white executives. On the contrary, the Huo family of the Hong Kong Football Club had been involved very early.

Heung Kong Football Association Headquarters, Fo Kwong Street, Ho Man Tin.

In addition to Huo Yingdong and his son who had arrived early, other staff of the Xiangjiang Football Association had already arrived.

They knew that Sir Yang, chairman of the Empire Group, would arrive soon and would soon serve as the president of the Hong Kong Football Association.

Ho Man Tin is located in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Yang Ming left the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa and arrived nearly two hours later.

When Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce stopped at the Xiangjiang Football Association headquarters.

Yang Ming has already met Huo Yingdong, his son and others. In addition to them, there are also other employees of the Football Association.

There are not many staff members in total, because there are too many to support.

When Yang Ming came down, Huo Yingdong, his son and others were already there to greet him.

"Sir Yang, please come inside."

A group of people welcomed Yang Ming in.

First, we visited the development of Xiangjiang football over the years, including the trophies won by the Xiangjiang football team, etc.

After Yang Ming finished his visit, he returned to the conference room.

At this time, the main person in charge of the Xiangjiang Football Association, staff, and the person in charge from the Sports Bureau of the Government House came.

They have been informed.

Mr. Fu Yingdong took the initiative to give up the position of president of the Hong Kong Football Association to Sir Yang, who only served as the honorary president.

If Sir Young wants to serve as the President of this General Conference, I am afraid that no one will dare to object and will not object.

"I propose that Sir Yang will officially serve as the president of the Hong Kong Football Association from today on. Do you have any objections?"

Huo Yingdong looked at the sitting representatives and asked.

No one objected.

Even white people are not interested in these things, and there is no profit or success. On the contrary, the Xiangjiang Football Association is really poor.

Sir Yang is the richest person in Hong Kong and the most influential person. If Sir Yang can sponsor Hong Kong football, perhaps they and their employees can live a better life, including salary and benefits.

Yang Ming looked at the people sitting there and found that they all looked at him with respect.

There seems to be no objection.

Including a few white people.

Last night, when Huo Yingdong made that move, it was already decided.

That is, from now on.

Yang Ming officially serves as the president of the Xiangjiang Football Association, with full authority to manage the affairs of Xiangjiang football, including the Xiangjiang football league and the Xiangjiang football team's participation in international football competitions.

Yang Ming couldn't spend too much time on this, he just asked people to develop in which direction.

From just now, Yang Ming has learned that the Xiangjiang Football Association is very poor. Before this, it even needed sponsorship from some businessmen to be able to maintain the Xiangjiang Football Association.

Even, historically, there have been cases of bankruptcy simply because there was no money.

If the Governor's Palace did not allocate funds and other businessmen did not sponsor it, I am afraid that the dozens of employees here would not be able to support it.

In this case, Huo Yingdong also relieved his burden and let Yang Ming take charge.

Now the Xiangjiang Football Association cannot bring wealth to individuals, but it can bring fame.

In Yang Ming's view, reputation is more important than his wealth at this time.

When Huo Yingdong announced that Yang Ming would be the president of the Xiangjiang Football Association, he had already given up his position and sat aside.

"Everyone, I am very grateful to Mr. Hao for his trust in me. Since I am now the president of the Xiangjiang Football Association, I will definitely develop the Xiangjiang Football Association and Xiangjiang football."

As for the specific situation of the Xiangjiang Football Association, Yang Ming is not very clear yet.

He didn't express his thoughts immediately.

"Now if you have any suggestions, you can put them forward to me immediately."

"President Yang, can you increase our salary and benefits? We haven't had a salary increase for many years." A staff member from the Secretariat said immediately.

rise salary?

Yang Ming knew that the Xiangjiang Football Association was very poor, but he didn't know how poor it was.

Huo Yingdong on the side asked someone to bring the account books of the Xiangjiang Football Club over the years.

The staff opened it and showed it to Yang Ming.

Only then did Yang Ming learn that the Xiangjiang Football Association was indeed very poor. In addition to occasional financial subsidies from the Governor's Office and the Xiangjiang Sports Bureau, it mostly relied on sponsorships.

These sponsorships cannot be related to interests. As a result, the Xiangjiang Football Club relies on itself and does not have much income at all. On the contrary, it handles more and more affairs, and the monthly salary of these employees is also a large amount of money, so that Their pay and benefits haven't improved in years.

It is precisely because of this that there were still white people in the management team in the 1960s, but they gradually left the Hong Kong Football Association after the 1970s.

How can the Xiangjiang Football Club attract those white people when it has no money, no oil, and even, in many cases, no salary?

In this regard, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is completely different.

The system of the Hong Kong Jockey Club is very complete.

Just relying on the horse racing tickets and lottery tickets in each period, the annual income is increasing. It is precisely because of that that the Hong Kong Jockey Club has many employees, and most of the executives are monopolized by white people.

After Yang Ming read it, he no longer knew what to say.

"Sir Yang, this is what the Xiangjiang Football Association is like. Before this, it was even worse. It didn't even have a fixed office place." said Huo Yingdong on the side.

If it was really that good, how could those white people let the Chinese manage it?

Yang Ming nodded.

In the morning, Yang Ming briefly learned about the situation of Hong Kong football at the Hong Kong Football Association.

At noon.

Yang Ming and Huo Yingdong and others had lunch in a restaurant outside.

In the afternoon, they took a car to the Hong Kong Club Stadium.

That was later known as the Hong Kong Stadium.

Saogangpu was originally a place to bury the victims of the 1918 racecourse fire. Later, the Hong Kong Governor's Office moved the bone mound there to Keelung Bay near the present-day Wah Fu Estate in Hong Kong.

The government stadium before reconstruction was completed in 1953 and can accommodate 25,000 people. It witnessed a glorious page in the history of Hong Kong football from 1960 to 1970.

At that time, every time there was a league battle, the stadium would be full and red flags would be hung. Fans who could not buy tickets would climb the hillside near Zhengmin Village behind the stadium to watch the game.

Historically, until 1994, the Xiangjiang Club Stadium was rebuilt into the Xiangjiang Stadium, which can accommodate up to 40,000 people. If more seats are added, the maximum number of seats can reach 58,000 people. It is the largest outdoor multi-purpose recreational venue in Xiangjiang.

At this time.

Many fans have come to this Xiangjiang Club Stadium.

Today, in order to celebrate Sir Yang's succession to Mr. Huo Yingdong as the new president of the Xiangjiang Football Association, Xiangjiang's Nanhui Football Team and Xiangjiang Seiko Sports Team will hold a grand friendly match here.

This game is charged for tickets, but the ticket proceeds will be donated to relevant charitable funds.

Today is Sunday, and there are still many spectators coming to watch.
