An hour later, Antonioni, who had finished talking to Zhuang Mingge, went to the Athletic Department full of joy, and with the door to the transfer market opening in more than a month, he needed to draw up a list of players who could play for Fiorentina immediately.

In Zhuang Mingge's jihua, the club can be divided into the following parts:

The first is the athletic department, which deals with the daily affairs of the club and the inspection of players, and the current director of the athletic department is Antonioni;

the second is the marketing department, which is mainly responsible for the market development of Florence, and the supervisor is vacant;

The third is the experimental center, similar to the famous "Milan Laboratory" in later generations, which is responsible for the adjustment of players' physiological and psychological states, the rehabilitation and treatment of injured players, and the establishment of a detailed and up-to-date player database, but now there is still a long time before the start of next season, so its supervisor position can be vacant first;

The fourth is the transfer department, which is mainly responsible for most of the transfer negotiation work, and the head of this department is Zhuang Mingge's negotiator from his family, named Hercule Poirot, who has the same name and surname as the detective who appeared in Agatha Christie's pen.

There are also the public relations department, the finance department, the security department, the secretariat, etc., these are the departments that maintain the normal operation of the club, Zhuang Mingge has not made major changes, after all, for a club, stability is the most important, and later generations have not heard of any problems in Florence in terms of finance and management.

Zhuang Mingge's next job is to find a reliable marketing supervisor.

The two most commendable teams in commercial development in later generations are Real Madrid and Manchester United, Real Madrid relies on Florentino's "superstar strategy" to greatly increase Real Madrid's influence in the Shijie range, and there is even a saying that "those who join Real Madrid are top stars";

As for Manchester United's commercial success, some people say that Manchester United's outstanding commercial development is mainly due to the "heartthrob" Beckham, but Zhuang Mingge has always believed that Kenyon, who was the CEO of Manchester United at the time, is the biggest contributor.

Think about Kenyon and Beckham's departure after Manchester United's commercial appeal began to decline, and it took only 3 years for Chelsea, who got Kenyon, to be recognized as a giant by fans, and Manchester City, which also spent a lot of money, was regarded as a pseudo-strong team until he crossed over, among which, Kenyon's business operation ability contributed a lot.

At this time, Kenyon had not yet been called by Manchester United and was still serving as the general manager of Umbro, so Zhuang Mingge immediately set out to contact Kenyon.

Three days later, Kenyon quietly arrived in Florence.

In his office, Zhuang Mingge met this Kenyon.

Kenyon now looks only in his early 30s, and his hair is very thick, which is not at all the image of the bald uncle of later generations.

"Hello, Kenyon! Your achievements in Umbro over the years have attracted a lot of attention. Zhuang Mingge recently investigated Kenyon in detail from the family, and according to the data, during Kenyon's nine years as general manager of Umbro, Umbro's annual turnover soared from US$60 million to US$500 million now.

"Mr. Corleone! You didn't just come to compliment me with all this effort, did you? Kenyon said with a smile.

"I would like to ask you to be the general manager and head of marketing at FC Fiorentina, with a focus on the club's marketing and foreign affairs."

Kenyon smiled: "Mr. Corleone, I don't think it's a good choice to abandon my current position as general manager of Umbro and come to Italy to be the general manager of a second division team. ”

"Umbro has little future, now Nike and Adidas have left you far behind, and Umbro's internal family management is serious, and the spirit of internal innovation has been seriously stifled, and those old guys and playboys on your company's board of directors will only accelerate the destruction of this company."

"Fiorentina have been relegated from Serie A this year, but the Corleone family will not tolerate the team staying in Serie B for two consecutive seasons, and the team can also take this opportunity to renew, Milan's first team is seriously aging, Inter and Juventus have not been able to recover after the 'three carriages' and Platini left, if Fiorentina can take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the trend, then it will be good for you and for us."

"Mr. Corleone, I'm not very good at football, and it's a waste of resources to come to you."

"I think the future development trend of football clubs will be very much in need of business talents like you, a team can't always live on the owner's pocket, being able to take care of its own profits and losses is the key to a team's long-term development, otherwise it's like the current Napoli, in order to find a helper for Maradona and build up debt." Zhuang Mingge waved his hand violently and said magnificently, "I want to build a football empire with Florence as the center, so I need business talents like you." ”

"A football empire? Haha, Mr. Corleone, no, maybe I should call you boss now, I appreciate your ideals very much, I want to work for Fiorentina, I want to watch this football empire be built. ”

After reaching an agreement with Kenyon, Zhuang Mingge said that he would pay liquidated damages for the work contract between Kenyon and Umbro, and Kenyon also said that he would take up his post in Florence three days later, that is, on June 9.

A few days after Kenyon was settled, Zhuang Mingge held talks with other senior management of the team, and under Zhuang Mingge's resolute statement, they all agreed with Zhuang Mingge's opinion on the reorganization of the club, and decided to hold a high-level plenary meeting on June 15.

Several senior members of the club, who were responsible for the reorganization task, exerted all their enthusiasm for work, and finally handed over a document recording the basic completion of the "reorganization" to Zhuang Ming Singers two days before the high-level plenary meeting.

On the day of the meeting, all the club officials who had been notified of their "qualifications" to attend such a major meeting were all present.

Looking at the solemn and expectant eyes converging towards him, Zhuang Mingge immediately realized that everyone was waiting for his "opening remarks". Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said very seriously:

"Fellow Florentine colleagues. We are here today for an important meeting, which will be a good opportunity for us to regroup in Florence...... I don't think I need to say that all of you here are well aware that we in Florence are facing the biggest problem of last few years. I'm glad that everyone has been able to share the club's adversity. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you as the new President of Fiorentina and as a loyal Fiorentina fan......

Although there are still many hidden dangers in the club that have not been completely resolved, I think that with everyone's support and help, and with our joint efforts, any difficulties and obstacles encountered on the way forward of Fiorentina are not a problem in front of the great Florence! ”

Zhuang Mingge's opening speech successfully mobilized the emotions of the participants, and he did not forget the next process of the meeting with a little emotion in his heart, and then said:

"Now, let me introduce the Florentine restructuring plan."

"After the reorganization of the club's management, there will be seven administrative departments and an independent department, the seven administrative departments are the finance department, the sports department, the marketing department, the public relations department, the youth training department, the security department and the secretariat, and an independent department is the upcoming Florence experimental center ......"

"At the same time, the restructured Fiorentina club will have three general managers with different responsibilities."

"The first is Mr. Giacalo Antonioni, who in the new management will be General Manager and Head of Athletics, responsible for the day-to-day management of the team and the scouting of players from all over Shijie; The second general manager is Hercule Poirot, who will also be the head of the transfer department, responsible for the club's negotiating matters and the management of the club's administrative affairs. As for zuihou, a general manager ......"

Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge paused in suspense, so that the Florentine officials present instantly raised their hearts to their throats, they did not "inquire" in advance about the club's establishment of three "general managers" This major news, at the same time, they are also very clear in their hearts, in addition to the club's legendary superstar Antonioni becoming the general manager is highly respected and expected, as his new boss "confidant" Poilo may also occupy a place, but in the third general manager candidate, Everyone else seems to have a chance to compete.

"One of Zuihou's general managers is Mr. Kenyon, who is also the head of marketing, and he will be responsible for the club's commercial operations and foreign affairs."

As Zhuang Mingge's words landed, the mystery of a general manager of Zuihou was revealed, and the participants turned their attention to the Englishman who had just come from Umbro and looked young, but no one spoke out against Zhuang Mingge.

Zhuang Mingge knew that although Kenyon was also a manager engaged in market development at Umbro, considering that he had been in Florence for a short time and his qualifications were still shallow, especially in charge of such a department that had been expanded many times by Zhuang Mingge, it might be more difficult, so he simply gave him the title of general manager in advance to help the British people establish themselves better

"Authority".

After talking about the main composition of the new organization, Zhuang Mingge began to introduce the candidates for the heads of each department and the division of main functions......

With the completion of Zhuang Mingge's introduction, and then the new officials took turns to express their positions, the conference room gradually eliminated the slightly tense air at the beginning, and the spacious space continued to sound warm applause, Zuihou made a concluding speech Zhuang Mingge said:

"Today, our club has finally taken the first step in reform, we will prove to everyone with practical actions that we can not only build a great team, but also run a lucrative club, although there are many contingencies in competitive competitions, although we will face a lot of unpredictability, but as long as we have a strong economic foundation, as long as we can take care of our own profits and losses, and can run our club like a brand, more challenges and difficulties will be trampled under our feet, Florence will be truly enduring! ”
