"In North America, the United States, as the world's largest economic power, is naturally the focus of our development. Although Americans prefer football, baseball, and basketball, after the baptism of the World Cup and the Olympic soccer tournament, the number of people who like football in the United States has gradually increased, and if done correctly, we in Florence will not have a problem gaining a foothold in the United States. ”

"However, Major League Soccer has been doing quite bleakly in recent years, and there are many differences between the rules and normal soccer games in order to cater to American tastes (for example)," Zhuang Mingge asked a question about Kaenyon.

"So boss, I think our partners in the U.S. shouldn't just be limited to football clubs, they should broaden their options and look at the most popular ball games in the United States." In response to Zhuang Mingge's question, Kenyon thought for a moment and quickly answered, "The four major sports leagues in the United States represent the four most prosperous ball sports, namely ice hockey, football, baseball and basketball. ”

"Why basketball? In terms of popularity, wouldn't it be better for us to choose baseball and football? ”

"That's right, boss." Kenyon cleared his throat and began to explain why he chose basketball, "Since we are looking for a partner in the United States to help us develop the North American market, then we have to think about what price we have to pay in Florence if we want to get the other party to agree to cooperate with us on an equal footing?" ”

"I thought that the other side must also want to expand their influence in Europe through Florence, otherwise this cooperation would be completely unequal." Zhuang Mingge suddenly had a flash of inspiration and spoke.

"That's right, so the club we choose has to be in some way close to the audience of football, otherwise we're just doing nothing." Kenyon wrote down the four major sports leagues in the United States one by one, "Among the four major sports leagues in the United States, football fans will definitely not be treated with us English football clubs." This is the difference in philosophy between the two ball games, and it cannot be changed at all. After all, rugby fans obviously prefer the fierce collision between muscles compared to soccer, which can be played by skill, and the intensity of the game is even rougher than that of the five big and three rough men in the English Premier League! Therefore, compared to rugby, the body rush in football seems to these people to be a game full of sissies! Can't arouse their interest in English football! So, these rugby fans are something we can't win at all, so it's better to give it up altogether. ”

Speaking of which, Kenyon drew a black line on the NFL (National Football League) and continued: "Although ice hockey is very similar to football in terms of game format, it is far less popular in Europe than in the United States, so even if we reach a partnership with it, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time; Although baseball has many similarities with football, for example, both sports emphasize the use of technique and strength, and also require team cooperation, and occasionally a hero riding a single savior will attract people's attention. But the problem is the same as ice hockey mentioned before, the audience in Europe is too small, and the difference in the format of the game will make it very difficult for the two clubs to promote together! ”

Kenyon said as he crossed out the MLB (Major League Baseball) and the NHL (National Hockey League) with a pen, leaving only the NBA as an option.

"Apart from the above sports, the only thing we can choose from is basketball!" After a lot of talking, Kenyon made this assertion, "Basketball, like football, is a big-ball sport, and it places great emphasis on both physical and technical conditions, unlike rugby, which places an overemphasis on physical confrontation; And, while the NBA highlights the individual abilities of its stars, no one can deny that basketball is a team sport, and similar prerequisites can allow many basketball fans to start paying attention to the sport while supporting their NBA. ”

"So, if we choose an NBA team as our partner in Florence, we can get the fans of this NBA team to accept the game of soccer and support our team in the shortest possible time. Crucially, basketball also has a considerable presence in Europe. Many cities have basketball teams with a long history, and the European basketball league, although not as good as the NBA in terms of business operations, is also the best basketball tournament in the world, which means that we don't have to spend too much effort to promote basketball, we just need to find ways to expand the visibility of our partners in the European region. ”

"Well, you have a point." After listening to Kenyon's answer, Zhuang Mingge nodded appreciatively, and he also thought that forming a business partnership with an NBA team would be more profitable for Fiorentina's development in the American market, "Then, so be it." After you and your team have completed the initial completion of Fiorentina's satellite club system in Europe, you can take the team to the NBA for a visit, and after the task is completed, make a list of NBA teams that are interested in working with us, and then we will meet again to discuss which team to choose as our partner. ”

"Okay, I see, boss." Kenyon, who was given another task by Zhuang Mingge, was not the slightest dissatisfied, but thanked him with joy, because he knew that the more this kind of work, the more the boss valued him, the more stable his position in Florence would be, and the more he would be paid.

As a business elite who grew up in a capitalist society, Kenyon has always believed that the specific expression of personal value is the level of salary.

After the meeting on the construction of the satellite club system ended, Zhuang Mingge and others began their own actions.

After the negotiation team led by Kenyon was assembled, they immediately set off from Florence and began a long journey according to the arrangement of the secret meeting, and their goal was to complete the huge satellite club project in quality and quantity, and then go to the distant Atlantic to meet the NBA teams.

Antonioni began to call on the club's scouting system and player database, and also borrowed player information from GM to gather the manpower to prepare for a big fight, digging out the potential newcomers at home and abroad one by one and categorizing their profiles separately to prepare for the next plan to be executed.

This summer, Fiorentina's main goal is not to chase down a single player, but to complete a huge plan that will surprise other teams in the future!
