165. Staples
The Blues' goal in the summer was to reduce the team's salary line, and they were already interested in terminating Albertini's contract, so the day after Jiang Qi shook hands with Demy's classmates, the news of Albertini's signing back to Milan was posted on the Rossoneri's official website.
After two seasons of wandering, Albertini's return has been quiet and complete, as evidenced by the messages from fans under the news and on the message boards on the official website. However, more explosive news is still to come, the new stadium construction plan has been basically determined, the club used its network to grab advertising space from three Italian domestic TV media and "Milan Sports Newspaper", and negotiated with some target websites to place advertisements, I believe that more Milan fans will boil at that time.
After entering June, Jiang Qi felt that life seemed to speed up all of a sudden, and he was so busy every day that his feet did not touch the ground, and the itinerary was never blank.
After the meeting to set the direction of development and a number of big and small plans for next season, Lao Jiang realistically interviewed Albertini, the former vice-captain of Milan, to return to the team, and then received Villa, who flew from Spain for a physical examination, and sincerely talked with the Spaniards about his future and development.
Just when the rookie head felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, live a few days of leisurely and corrupt days, and then go to Portugal to reach the mouth cannon king, the cheap uncle Geddes, who had returned to Millican, called again and asked him to fly over immediately to discuss the future direction of the Atlanta Eagles.
However, what made Jiang Qi even more puzzled was that Geddes did not let him fly directly to Atlanta, but went to Los Angeles to pick up a person first, and watched the first game of the 2004 NBA Finals by the way......
Geddes found time to talk to Jiang Qi about the management structure after the Eagles were acquired and now ready to be completely reorganized, because the ownership of the Eagles was acquired by Geddes and several friends of Millican, so the board of directors of the holding company will send two representatives to the management of the Eagles, Jiang Qi is one of them, responsible for the team's competition part, and the other, that is, the one who needs Jiang Qi to meet in the City of Angels, is responsible for the team's commercial operations.
The two will not only be named executive directors, but will also be allocated a certain amount of equity, and if the team's performance and operation are excellent, then they will also receive considerable dividends at the end of each year.
It sounds like an ideal situation, which is equivalent to Lao Jiang moving his mouth in the general direction and key places, and does not have to be tied to the team's schedule, Geddes's intention is obvious, Milan's side needs to gradually fade out, and then continue to increase the number of boats under his feet, and finally like Lao Cao, he will set his eyes on the iron chain to form a huge chain of ships, and Lao Jiang will become the helmsman of the legendary integration of the sports industry.
From this point of view, the other executive director in charge of the team's operation sent by the board of directors is actually a coolie to reduce Jiang Qi's burden, you must know that commercial operations do not have a fixed time node and regularity like the competitive direction, so the rookie coach also felt a little indebted, and flew to Los Angeles with the idea of having a good relationship with his future partner.
However, all of the above requires a premise, and this classmate who is about to become a partner with Jiang Qi is an easy person to get along with...... It's a pity that the goddess of fate seems to ignore this when she traces the trajectory of things.
At the meeting point outside the Staples Arena, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jiang Qi did not see the imaginary meticulously dressed in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, as if the fast-sliding data stream would pop up on the lenses anytime and anywhere, speaking rigorously and not cumbersomely, such a typical business elite image of a man...... Instead, I saw a ...... Sister!
Wearing a hat with the Lakers logo on his head, his pressed blonde hair hanging down in all directions, and a large Lakers jersey on his upper body, a long-sleeved pure white T-shirt inside, and a pair of jeans underneath, he clearly looks like a pure Lakers fan.
When Lao Jiang saw such a scene, black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead, where is this to watch the playoffs, it is obvious that he is here to cheer.
"Teresa?" After hesitating, Jiang Qi still took the initiative to walk over and ask.
The girl's eyes turned from the Lakers' propaganda poster in the distance, only to realize Jiang Qi's existence, "You are Jiang?" ”
Someone nodded dumbly, "It looks like a fanatical Lakers fan, so I'm not sure ......"
After speaking, he also subconsciously touched his nose, although he didn't say it directly, but the implication was that Miss Teresa was really far from the identity of the imaginary shrewd operation manager.
"Well, everyone is here to release the pressure, not to think about the mess of work all the time." , Teresa raised her chin proudly, obviously taking the initiative to enter the role of her predecessor to start the journey for Jiang Qi, a rookie outside the NBA, "I heard that you are a professional, but don't be tested by me for a while!" ”
Helplessly appreciating the seven games of the future partner's somewhat tsundere, Lao Jiang had to follow her into the legendary Staples.
Most of the NBA's stadium designs are like inverted pyramids, which are more suitable for focusing lights than football fields, which really makes Jiang Qi instantly react to the word "show".
And today's much-anticipated show will reveal the final mystery after months of devilish schedules.
Because it is located in the city of Angels, a city that creates dreams and miracles, Staples Arena can truly be called star-studded, and the stars who come to the finals have become a unique sight in the stadium, of course, they are not the protagonists today, F4 is!
This season's Lakers are even more terrifying than they were when they built a small dynasty in previous seasons, with O'Neal, Kobe, Karl Malone and Gary Payton, four Hall of Famer-caliber players on the same lineup at the same time, and the pressure on opposing opponents can be inferred from the deafening noise that erupted from the audience.
"The Lakers' starters are so cool!" Teresa put her thumb and index finger together, and concocted a crisp and warm whistle on her lips, which made her instantly stained with a hint of wildness, "This is the direction and example we will strive for in the future!" ”
Lao Jiang shook his head helplessly when he heard the girl's words, and at the same time confirmed the conjecture he had when he saw Teresa for the first time, "This girl is really a pseudo-fan......"
He didn't say anything to refute, firstly, to affect people's moods, it is a little boring to be a villain, secondly, it doesn't matter whether it is a pseudo-fan or not, anyway, the competitive half is his own main focus, and the team's uniform group does not raise a group of pseudo-fans, thirdly, facts speak louder than words, and Lao Jiang also deeply knows how stupid it is to argue with girls.
It's a pity that his movements were still keenly captured by Teresa, "Hey, don't you think so?" ”
