"In North America, the United States, the world's largest economic power, is naturally the focus of our development. Although Americans prefer rugby, baseball and basketball, after experiencing the baptism of the World Cup and Olympic football games, people who like football in the United States It has also begun to increase gradually, and if it is done properly, it will not be a problem for Florence to gain a firm foothold on the land of the United States."

"However, the operation of Major League Soccer has been quite bleak in the past few years. In order to cater to the tastes of Americans, there are many differences (for example) in terms of rules and normal football games," Zhuang Mingge wanted to test Kenyon, so he posed a question.

"So boss, I think our partners in the United States should not only be limited to football clubs, but should broaden the scope of choices and focus on the most popular ball games in the United States." Regarding the questions raised by Zhuang Mingge, Kenny En thought for a while, and quickly answered, "The four major sports leagues in the United States represent the four most prosperous ball sports, namely ice hockey, rugby, baseball and basketball. Among the four major leagues, I think Choosing a basketball club can best help our Florence market development in the United States."

"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 it. In the case of equal status, if we want the other party to agree to cooperate with us, what price will Florence have to pay?"

"I thought of it, the other party would definitely hope to expand their influence in Europe through us in Florence, otherwise, this kind of cooperation would be completely unequal." Zhuang Mingge suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said.

"That's right. Therefore, the sports we choose must be closer to the audience level of football in some aspects, otherwise, we are just doing useless work." Said, Kenyon will be the four major players in the United States. The sports leagues wrote down on paper one by one, "Among the four major sports leagues in the United States, football fans will definitely not like us football clubs. This is the difference in philosophy between the two ball sports. It cannot be changed at all. After all, compared to English football, a sport that can be played by relying on technology, rugby fans obviously prefer the fierce collision between muscles. Rough men are even rougher! Therefore, compared with rugby, the physical collision in football matches is simply a sissy game for these people! It does not arouse their interest in English football at all! Therefore, these rugby players Fans are something we can't win at all, it's better to just give up."

Having said that, Kenyon drew a black line across the NFL (National Football League), and then continued: "Although ice hockey is very similar to football in terms of game form, it is far less popular in Europe. It is far less popular than the United States, so even if we reach a cooperative relationship with it, it may be difficult to maintain it for a long time; although baseball has many similarities with football, for example, both sports emphasize the use of technology and strength, and they also require teamwork. Occasionally there will be a hero who rides the savior alone to attract people's attention. But its problem is the same as the ice hockey mentioned before, the audience in Europe is too small, and the difference in the form of the game will also Makes it very difficult to have a joint promotion between the two clubs!"

While talking, Kenyon crossed out MLB (Major League Baseball) and NHL (National Hockey League) with a pen, leaving only the option of NBA.

"Except for the above sports, the only thing we can choose is basketball!" After talking eloquently, Kenyon made this conclusion, "Basketball is the same as football, they are both big ball sports, Both physical and technical conditions are very important, unlike rugby that overemphasizes physical confrontation; moreover, although nba emphasizes the individual abilities of stars, no one can deny that basketball is a team sport, similar prerequisites can be Let a lot of basketball fans start paying attention to football while supporting their NBA."

"So, if we choose an nba team as our Fiorentina partner, we can allow the fans of this nba team to accept English football and support our team to a certain extent in the shortest possible time. The most important thing is that basketball also has considerable influence in Europe. Many cities have basketball teams with a long history. Although European basketball leagues are not as good as the NBA in terms of commercial operations, they are also outstanding basketball events in the world. This is why So that we do not have to spend too much energy on promoting basketball, we only need to find ways to expand the popularity of our partners in Europe.”

"Well, what you said makes sense." After hearing Kenyon's answer, Zhuang Mingge nodded appreciatively. He also thought that forming a business partnership with an NBA team would be more beneficial for Florence's development in the American market. Ketu, "Then, that's it. After you and your team have initially completed Florence's satellite club system in Europe, you can take this team to the NBA for inspection. After the task is completed, tell us if you have any intentions." Make a list of the cooperative NBA teams, and then we will meet again to discuss which team to choose as our partner."

"Okay, I understand, boss." Kenyon, who was given another task by Zhuang Mingge, was not dissatisfied in the slightest, but thanked him with a smile on his face, because he knew that the more such jobs, the more the boss valued him. If he, then his position in Florence will be more stable, and he will get more salary.

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

After the meeting on building the satellite club system ended, Zhuang Mingge and others started their own actions.

The negotiating team headed by Kenyon set off from Florence immediately after the assembly, and started a long journey according to the arrangement during the secret meeting. Their goal was to complete this huge satellite club plan with quality and quantity, and then Then go to the far side of the Atlantic Ocean, and go with those nba teams.

Antonioni began to use the club's scouting system and player database, and at the same time borrowed player information from the GM company, gathered manpower to prepare for a big fight, and dug out those potential newcomers at home and abroad one by one and separated their information. Categorize and prepare for the plan to be executed next.

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