American winner takes all

Chapter 249 Set sail for the new season (22)

The spinning football penetrated the entire defensive line in the middle, passed between two Alabama players, passed two Auburn University defenders, and was finally successfully caught by the Alabama wide receiver standing in the zone.

After confirming that the touchdown was successful, McKenna did not celebrate with her teammates. She only felt dizzy and fell to the ground due to loss of strength.

Then her consciousness returned to chaos.

When she woke up again, she saw her father.

He has returned to Alabama.

She struggled to sit up, and then she saw Ethan sitting next to her.

"Did you win?" McKenna asked immediately.

Ethan nodded.

With McKenna's final touchdown pass, Alabama established the final advantage and won the game.

"Great, this month's hard work finally paid off." McKenna breathed a sigh of relief and then lay on the bed again.

Although this is just an exhibition match, it can at least prove that Scarlet Girl is no worse than Tiger Claw Girl.

that's enough.

After all, no one can lose to Auburn.

"Jeff has checked your body. It's just that you are exhausted and dehydrated. It's nothing serious." Ethan said.

"Ahem." McKenna suddenly cleared her throat, then looked at her father.

"What are you looking at me doing?" Jeff seemed a little confused.

"Dad, get out quickly." McKenna urged.

Naturally, he didn't want his father to disturb his and Ethan's world.

"...Okay." Jeff smiled bitterly.

A woman who has been raising children for 20 years did not expect that she would end up being a hindrance.

After giving some instructions, Jeff chose to leave.

Only then did McKenna open her arms and ask Ethan for a hug.

Ethan sat on the edge of the bed, and McKenna immediately snuggled into Ethan's arms.

"Am I very powerful?" McKenna opened her eyes wide and waited for Ethan's praise.

"Of course, in fact, I think you have her talent." Ethan said honestly.

To be honest, McKenna's performance was indeed the best among the 14 people on the field.

McKenna raised the corner of her mouth, then thought of something else and said: "Then I won't touch football anymore. It's better to just be a cheerleader."

As long as he doesn't continue to fight, he will not lose. In other words, he will maintain a complete victory record.

"Of course, football... forget it." Ethan shook his head.

As a player, how could he not know the hardships of this path? Even if McKenna was really talented, Ethan would not agree with McKenna to continue trying.Besides, this time the opponents are just dancers chasing ducks.

Even Ethan himself would never be as carefree and happy as he is now if he didn't have a special physique.

In the following days, Ethan began to pay close attention to what happened after the game.

Although the game is over, the discussion about the game itself has reached a new level.

The first is local media coverage of the incident in Alabama.

"Another Form of Iron Fist: Fun Football Game Makes People Think About What College Football Is Really About"

"The Scarlet Lady Successfully Pulls University of Alabama Out of Public Opinion Mortgage"

"College Football Alternative Players: A 30-Day Record of the Scarlet Lady"

There is no doubt that the game itself played a role in diverting attention. As for whether the University of Alabama has illegal recruitment, most people no longer care about this matter.

As for the public's opinions on this competition, Ethan can also get a glimpse of it from the university forum discussion posts.

A personal introduction column reads "Ethan Football, BEST Football." It seems that a die-hard Ethan fan has posted a detailed post about the game experience.

"From the field of rugby, women's rugby doesn't attract too many people's attention, at least it doesn't attract my attention. I heard that Ethan will be the coach of Alabama, so I donated thirty dollars and got it. Tickets, originally I wanted to see how Ethan would coach these Scarlet Ladies. But once the game started, I was immediately immersed in the game."

"My father is a senior Alabama fan, and I grew up watching Alabama games. I swear by our father and son's more than half a century of experience in watching games. Anyone who has not been there to watch the game in person is at a loss. It’s big. The game is almost a new rule, there is no free time, and even though the rugby level of the participating teams is not even as good as mine, I still watch it with gusto.”

"If I had another chance, I would buy a front-row seat. I wrote a petition last night to represent my community and suggest that the University of Alabama host a similar game next year."

The comments below are also very interesting.

Some people talked about how intense the competition was.

"My pants were all taken off, and my hair was scattered all over the place."

"I was at the scene and I testify that these words are true."

"There's no video, or even pictures of the scene? It's urgent!"

However, in this era, cameras have not yet been completely popularized, and all filming except for the media is prohibited at the competition site. This women's competition has also become more and more mysterious amid constant discussions.

Now the relevant pages about the University of Alabama have been clearly divided into two groups. One group is the people who came to watch the game before, and their exchanges about the game can attract a lot of attention.

The vast majority of people who did not show up were still curious. In addition to curiosity, there was also a small number of people who originally had tickets but did not choose to show up. These people showed great regret.

In addition to helping the school divert attention and spark discussions in Alabama, related discussions have also occurred in neighboring Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Georgia.

Fans from out of town have expressed their hope that similar games can be held in the state!
After all, college football is only played from September to December every year, and the long offseason does need some games to fill it.If there is no main game, it is not impossible to watch some interesting exhibition games.

At this point, Ethan was completely relieved, and it could be said that he had achieved his goal.

By next year, similar competitions will be promoted in other schools.

In addition, Ethan also had an unexpected surprise.

"Don't you know? Playboy is going to transform into digital media in an all-round way. Previous issues of the magazine can be read online. Hugh Hefner himself also announced that he will retire due to health reasons and will no longer be involved in the company's business in the future. He will only retain Position on the board of directors." When Ron saw Ethan again, he mentioned a special piece of news in casual conversation.

"After playing for a lifetime, it's time to retire. In his farewell letter, he stated that he was ill. Given his character, this is [-]% true." Sports Director Boone also joined the discussion.

The two of them were originally talking to Ethan about the progress of recruiting new players, and while chatting they got involved in major events happening nowadays.

Both of them are loyal readers of Playboy, and they showed great regret at this moment.

"An era is over." Boone shook his head.

"What a pity, he has such a beautiful wife, she is just 30 years old." Ron thought of Hugh Hefner's current wife.

Boone laughed: "I gave birth to two children for Hugh Hefner. Do you want to take over?"

"Yes, why not? If it were you, wouldn't you?" Ron asked.

"Of course I have to take it. Unfortunately, it's not our turn anyway. Ethan, haven't you attended Hugh Hefner's party and seen her? You are so popular with women. If you work hard, you might have a chance. "Boone looked at Ethan.

"Ethan really has a chance, but having said that, instead of worrying about Hugh Hefner's wife, why not worry about Hugh Hefner's daughter? That is the head of the media group, and there are new releases every month. Models, won't there be new ones every month?" Ron also tried to predict for Ethan.

"Then why not worry about both of them? Adults never do multiple-choice questions." Ethan joked.

The three of them laughed.

"Seriously, Hugh Hefner really made this decision? Where did you get the news?" Ethan asked.

"Where else could it be that the theme of last month's magazine was Hugh Hefner's career farewell special issue, which also reviewed his history from the founding of the magazine to the present." Boone said at this time.

Was this decision announced to the public last month?
Ethan did say that Hugh Hefner should retire, but it was just a casual mention. Unexpectedly, Hugh Hefner listened to it, and after thinking about it for a month, he adopted Ethan's suggestion.

Obviously, this was a decision that could change history.

The times have limited the vision of most people. If Playboy is determined to transform into digital, the original business will definitely see huge growth.Of course, the stock price will continue to rise!

In my previous life, Playboy announced privatization and delisting due to poor performance in 08. I don’t know how high Playboy’s stock price will be in this life. You must know that the Internet bubble has begun to appear at this moment. Now any company, as long as If you can have a business connection with the Internet, the stock price will be like a rocket.

Ethan was lost in thought, while the two talked about the recruitment of new team members.

The two of them plus Mary, the three-person recruiting team traveled throughout the United States in the past few months and invited many talented reserves on behalf of the University of Alabama. The results were very ideal. Most of those talented players gave gave a positive answer.

Ethan's role is more or less involved in this.

After all, following Ethan to win a few championships is of great benefit to these players.

"New players will be reporting in this summer vacation."

Ethan nodded.

It's time to welcome the new season.

·
During this summer vacation, the first thing Ethan did was go to New Haven to visit Catherine and the children.

The first thing is to go see the house.

"Are you satisfied here?" Ethan asked Catherine.

I don't know whether it's because she's in law school or because she's a mother, but Catherine is now dressed more maturely. She's carrying a black handbag and looking into the spacious and bright living room.

"It's not far from the school. You can get there in 5 minutes by car. The location is very good, the house is big enough, and the scenery outside the window is good. There are no problems except that the price is too expensive." Catherine responded.

However, the price does not pose any problem in Ethan.

"I think a four-thousand-square-foot villa with an independent courtyard is a very good deal for a price of several million." Ethan said.

The proceeds from the Independence Bowl have been fully realized, and the privatization process of the organizing committee has been completed. Now there are tens of millions of dollars in the organizing committee's fund, part of which is used to purchase properties in the name of "investing in New Haven properties." Easily.

"You don't really want to buy this place, do you?" Catherine looked very surprised.

"To be precise, I have already bought this place." Ethan took out the key from his pocket slowly.

Catherine held the key and couldn't believe it for a long time.

"If this is a dream, it's better to wake me up later." Catherine laughed.

"This is not a dream, but I bought it specially for you." Ethan said.

Ethan doesn't have any big intentions. After making money, he naturally has to give back to his wives and thank them for their sacrifice and dedication.

And the first person on the list of giving back is always Catherine.

However, Catherine didn't want to accept it at first. After all, this was not a car, it was too expensive, and she had not yet considered staying in New Haven in the future. Until Ethan told the truth, the organizing committee's money had to be spent. , even if you don’t buy a house, you still have to make other investments, Catherine nodded.

On the other side, Ethan asked about NIL rights. Roy Kramer, chairman of the SEC Alliance, once asked Catherine about the situation.

"Roy Kramer has formed a luxurious team of lawyers and is preparing to attack the NCAA from a legal perspective. I am afraid that this matter will eventually be appealed to the final court, and action has already begun. I am also fortunate to participate in it. There are some things that the SEC's lawyer team does not It was convenient for me, a law student, to organize it. According to the list provided by Roy, I have found two athletes. Both of them have been punished by the NCAA because of their name rights. They originally had good futures, but now they have failed. Poor and destitute.”

"Kramer wants to use two victims to guide public opinion?" Ethan asked.

"That's right. In the name of legal aid, I contacted several seniors from the law school, and they were also very interested in this case."

There are some cases where lawyers can make a lot of money, such as some cases where compensation is required.

This kind of case will help the lawyer gain reputation.

The other party is the NCAA, an organization with a long history.

In any case, this case will be a highlight on Catherine's resume.

"Also, the Walker family invited me to a family gathering during the Christmas vacation. I took my children with me. You were still preparing for the bowl game at that time. I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't tell you about it."

"Have you met your biological father?" Ethan asked.

Catherine nodded.

"Is he a rich man?" Ethan asked.

"can not tell."

"Then there is a high probability that he is a rich man and will invest in his son-in-law's career in the future, just like he did back then."

"What do you want him to invest in?"

"A big thing." Ethan let it slip.

While communicating with Catherine, Ethan also received another phone call.

It was Demi Moore who had "helped" before.

Ethan didn't want to answer the call. Who knew if it was an investor who had already lost money and came to hold her accountable, but he didn't save her number at all and didn't recognize her at first.

When he heard her voice, Ethan felt terrible.

"Ethan O'Connor, you hide so deeply." Demi Moore sneered.

"You must maintain confidence in the projects you hold. The market will only reward those investors who are patient. The current decline in valuation is only temporary." Ethan responded immediately.

"Decline? Then you are wrong. Not only did REDBOX's valuation not fall, but it also increased several times!" Demi Moore's triumphant laughter was particularly sharp.

"Why didn't you tell me about such a good project earlier? I didn't expect you to be an investor with a unique vision." Demi Moore said slowly.

"I sold all the shares in my hand, and this amount alone made me a profit of more than 1000 million!"

"That's really congratulations." Ethan smiled.

I was slandering in my heart, could it be that stupid people are blessed with stupid things?
"Stop complimenting me. If you have any projects to make money in the future, don't forget to tell me. Also... I want to ask you some questions about investment." Demi Moore got down to business.

"Want to continue with the 1000 million earned?" Ethan heard what she meant.

,

What does a gambler do before he wins money?Of course, go ahead and gamble.

In Ethan's opinion, Demi Moore's behavioral logic is no different from that of a gambler.

"That's right, not just mine, but also the ones you've met before... They were also quite interested after hearing that I was making money?"

"Young man, why don't you help us invest? Your benefits are indispensable." Demi Moore extended an olive branch.

The ones Ethan saw last time were all top-tier actresses in Hollywood, and each one was richer than the last.

When there is more money, there will naturally be demand for investment.

"If it's from a friendship perspective, I can provide some advice, but if it's from a profit perspective, forget it." Ethan refused.

If you really want to help these Hollywood stars manage their investments, everyone will be happy if they make money, but if they lose money, it won't be worth the loss.

Moreover, even if I helped the other party make money, I would only get a few points in management fees.

No matter how you look at it, this is not more cost-effective than buying and selling.

"We understand the rules, and the benefits are inevitable for you. Not only that, you can also get the most precious friendship in Hollywood. Your Lisa will be friends with us from now on, which cannot be measured by money." Mimol continued.

Demi Moore mentioned Lisa, and I have to say, this condition really impressed Ethan.

How much money can you make from those playboy girls?What agents really like are big stars and big projects.

Thinking about it this way, what you can earn is not just the few management fees in front of you...and this is not a one-time deal, but a long-term friendship.

Ethan always wants to enter the Nasdaq with money, so it is a good thing that someone takes the initiative to send him ammunition.

After weighing several times, Ethan chose to agree.

　Sorry for the late update. I was delayed by something in the evening. It was the same thing as before, the support issue for the elderly.The specific situation is more complicated. In short, my two aunts wanted to send my grandpa to a nursing home out of town, and then my mother and I wanted to take my grandpa over. That was probably the case (he has been with us since then, so This time I will talk about it in more detail).It just so happens that I am also writing at home every day, which makes it easier to take care of my grandpa. (As an aside, typos will definitely appear if you type in a hurry. I usually use two different software to check for typos before updating, but I still can’t catch all the typos. If you see any, you can click to correct them. grateful.)
