According to Yevgeny, if you want to invest in small companies in Silicon Valley, you must either have a background in a large investment bank, or be a well-known Stanford alumnus, or investors can bring the endorsement of industry authorities, and then they will not be able to throw money into it, and use more money to get fewer shares, so that the founders of those small companies can also accept unfamiliar rich investments.

But the current Mr. Ferrari is not at all, he has more than one million in his hands, and the athletes who have played in the NFL for a few years have assets of this magnitude, and he is 108,000 miles away from the rich.

However, he is still young, only two years have passed in the 80s, and there is time to slowly build up his fame and accumulate initial wealth.

“…… I will actively participate in the Stanford Alumni Association, and I am grateful for the advice of the coaches. ”

"By the way, what's going on with you and the Gold Diggers, and have you been in touch again?" After finishing the topic of investment, Yevgeny asked about more than two months ago.

The Gold Diggers are another name for the 49s, and in 1849, the year after the discovery of gold in Marshall, a large number of gold diggers flocked to the San Francisco neighborhood in Northern California, so the name symbolizes the team's commitment to the city's heritage and history.

"No, they made it to the Super Bowl, but it hasn't come out yet."

Super Bowl games are typically played on the first Sunday in February, and are often scheduled in the evening to accommodate prime time in Eastern time.

"I don't know what the rules are in the current draft, but I should not participate in it within two or three years after graduating from high school, and if I want to win a good pick, I must either play in the NCAA for five years, or play hard in my sophomore and junior seasons and use the data to convince the head coaches."

Although college is generally four years, the NCAA has a rule that college athletes can play for five years, and "Big Five" athletes are not uncommon.

"I think if this team is good, I can sign a free contract with them in my junior year and go straight to the team."

This is just Bill's initial idea, rugby games focus on team cooperation, so it is very important to be in a good team, simply put, find a top team to hug the thighs, and it is possible to become the Lord of the Rings.

Evgeny smiled, "Coach Vichy is also my former leader, he is really good, and the West Coast offensive is not blown out by the media. But as a player, I suggest you stay with us until the end of your junior season, and even though you didn't look great in the draft at the time, you should be fine if you were drafted around the second or third round, so that your contract salary will be higher and your resume will look good in the future. ”

He was very sincere in his advice to Bill.

"I understand that for the time being, I haven't made a verbal agreement with them, that is, I can discuss changes, and within the scope of the rules, it is natural to maximize my interests."

The history of changes in NFL wages, that is, the history of changes in the way NFL teams play. After the introduction of the salary cap system in '93, a large number of players were traded in the NFL every year, and each team could be regrouped once a year or two, and the dynastic team became extinct, but in the 80s, players were not traded so frequently in the NFL, at most players were traded to another team after they got old, and then waited for retirement.

The two chatted about careers and other things until the fax machine printed out Bill's futures contract.

……

February 19, in an estate near San Francisco.

At noon, hundreds of guests were entering the wedding banquet in order, not all Italian immigrants, but a significant number of them paying for the Italian custom, with the groom being Joe Montana, the current Super Bowl MVP, and the bride Cass Castillo, the second marriage of the captain of the 49s.

Because the Chinese Internet is very incomplete about rugby stars, many people mistakenly think that Joe Montana is very dedicated and has been with his wife Jennifer Montana for more than 30 years, in fact, he and his third wife met in 1982 and married in 1985, of course, this is a later story.

Italians, who are known for their amorous feelings, talk about what they are dedicated.

With two hundred dollars, Bill and Sophia found a spare table together and watched the crowd of guests dance to the accompaniment of the band.

"It's so lively, why don't you go over and dance?"

Sophia asked.

Bill waved his hand, "No, I'm just here to mix things up, and by the way, I want to know more people, and I can't learn how to dance." ”

As the vice president of the HKCSS, Sophia's social skills are indeed very strong, and it was she who brought Bill to attend the wedding.

According to Sofia, because of Joe Montana's excessive affinity, there are many wealthy Italian families around San Francisco.

"I heard that the former head coach of our varsity team is also a good friend of Joe Montana, and if he shows up at this wedding party, you might be able to communicate with him."

She proposed.

Because of the frequent cooperation between the Federation of Social Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Sports, this enthusiastic Italian girl has the feeling of taking Bill as a younger brother, and she takes care of her on weekdays.

"Vichy head coach? Actually, I'm in a different position from him, and I'm actually a little bit ......."

Bill shrugged and gave a know-your-eyed look.

Although the 49ers won the Super Bowl, he has yet to make a verbal engagement with Jim and John.

But Sophia obviously couldn't understand, "If you don't whisper to me, I won't understand the secret." ”

"It's that I want to go to the draft, but they want me to sign a contract sooner and join the team, so there's a contradiction."

He whispered an explanation to Sophia.

Draft selection is a cost of picks, and among the more than 300 rookies, some of the most famous ones will be picked in the first few rounds, and in order to ensure that the team recruits the new recruits they want, they have to pay a price to trade for additional picks.

"You can handle these professional things yourself, but we can also ask the groom, Joe has a very good reputation, he is very friendly, and you are your own person, he will not lie to you because of the team."

Sophia suggested.

Bill agreed, and when the dancing crowd had changed three times, he struck up a conversation with the groom as he greeted the guests table by table.

"I know you, the close end who can catch the ball." Joe Montana actually had an impression of Bill, and he switched to Italian, "My advice is that you play until the end of your junior season, participate in the draft, and get picked in the second round or so. You can rest assured, there is a strong person on the team who likes you very much, your bench press is bright enough, and in the past two years or so, the 49ers will not let other teams get you, so your salary is also high, at least the first four years of the two-plus-two contract is better than the free contract. ”

His views were in line with Yevgeny's.

Bill stood up and took Joe Montana's right hand, "Thank you for the advice, I'll work on that." ”

"I'm looking forward to two years from now that we'll be playing on the same course, and besides, have fun, I'm going to ...... Let's not talk about it. The bridegroom gestured to the guests at the table next to him.

As the two ended their conversation, Bill decided to push back on the verbal agreement between John and Jim of the 49ers that he would play with the Red and White team for at least three seasons.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly pass.
