Section 22 Kenyon
Sitting in the chairman's office, looking at the leisurely Milanese people on the street outside the window, Xiao Hua fell into thinking about the current situation of the club.
What are the problems with the club at present? The problem is too big! For the team, it has been half a year since I entered the club. Although the team's performance is pretty good, at least much better than last season, it is still far from winning the championship. My reserve strength is obviously not enough. It seems that I still have to rely on future knowledge to create a few hope stars.
What about the club construction? Although I built a medical system and launched a club publication, the entire club is generally not essentially different from before I took the chair position. I have some concepts, but I just stayed in the concept. I had to implement them. It was impossible for me to run around every day. Moreover, I only understood some concepts of concepts and really had to operate them myself. I probably might not be able to do it. At present, it seems that the people under me are really not good, and I have no concept of operating commercial football at all. General Manager Facheti is just a talent suitable for managing the team. It is indeed a bit difficult to let him manage business affairs. At present, it seems that I must perform an operation on the club, separate the competitive and commercial aspects, and arrange two people to manage them. The competitive aspects can be very safely handed over to Facheti. In terms of business, I must find someone with strong abilities to manage them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hua thought of Kenyon, the core figure who created the Manchester United business empire in the future. Because he admired this person before, Xiao Hua sometimes paid attention to Kenyon's news online. It seems that he remembered that he was a director at Enbao before going to Manchester United. Isn't Enbao the current sponsor of his team?
Xiao Hua decided to meet this Kennyon.
"Fachedi! Please help me ask Enbao if there is a man named Kenyon over there?" Xiao Hua said to Fachedi on the phone.
"Kenian? There is such a person in their company!"
"How do you know?" Xiao Huaqi said.
"He is Enbao's general manager! How come I didn't know that he would come here in person every time he negotiated with Enbao!"
"..." Xiao Hua thought to himself, it was a coincidence, "Then please contact him for help, I want to meet him."
"You want to see him? I don't like him very much."
"I'm also considering the team, please help me arrange it!"
Three days later, Kenion quietly came to Milan. In the hotel, Xiao Hua met the world-recognized No. 1 football club manager. Kenion now looks like he is only in his 30s and has thick hair, which is not the bald image of the future.
"Hello Mr. Kenyon! I have been thinking about you for a long time. I have made great contributions to Enbao's development in recent years." Xiao Hua recently asked someone to investigate Kenyon in detail. According to the information, Kenyon is currently a super strong man. In his nine years as Enbao's general manager, Enbao has grown from an annual turnover of US$60 million to US$500 million this year.
"Mr. Musco! You can't just bring me a high hat!" Kenyon smiled.
"I want to have a conversation with you. I hope we can all put aside our current position and study some issues carefully. What do you think?"
Kenyon smiled and said, "Tell me what topics you want to talk about."
"What do you think of Enbao's future? I hope you can answer my question by putting aside your identity as Enbao's general manager."
"There is no future for development. Now Nike and Adidas have left us far behind. In addition, Enbao's internal family management is serious, and the internal innovation spirit has been severely stifled."
"Then do you have any solutions?"
"The old guys and playboys on our company's board of directors will only destroy my chances. I don't expect them. I can only do what I should do now!" Kenyon said angrily.
"Then are you interested in football? Commercial football!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.
"What do you think? I'm not very good at football."
"I think a football club not only needs people who understand football, but also needs business talents like you very much." Xiao Hua smiled, paused and said, "Do you think you can make money by doing football?"
"Why can't you make money? You have so many fans, and this is a wealth that no company does not have!"
"I also think football can make money, so I have always wanted to build a commercial football empire, but now no one can help me achieve this goal."
Kenyon smiled and said, "Football Empire! Not bad, it is indeed a very good and novel idea!"
"If you were asked to be the general manager of our club, what would you do first?"
"I will terminate the contract with Enbao. If you want to build the football empire you mentioned, you must first establish a brand. The most important thing for a team is its uniform, so the uniform must be one of the best international brands. Enbao cannot meet this requirement, so it must be replaced."
"Okay! OK! OK! You said so well. You really didn't read you wrong. I just said, are you willing to come to work here?" Xiao Hua was very satisfied with Kenyon. He could see the importance of a brand in this era. He was indeed not an ordinary person.
Kenion looked at Xiao Hua and smiled and said, "I am a practical person. Although I am unhappy in Enbao, the treatment they gave me is still good. I also want to give you a try for the job you mentioned, but I still have to consider my personal income and leave my hometown, I am a little reluctant to leave." Kenion is indeed a practical person. In the past, Abraham paid him a much higher salary than Manchester United, and he jumped to Chelsea without hesitation.
Xiao Hua looked at Kennyon and smiled and said, "How do you think about it in a year of 500,000 US dollars? In addition, I will find you a place with the best environment in Milan." Xiao Hua thought to himself that this person is indeed a money-loving person, but as long as he can help me make money, it doesn't matter if he gives me more money.
Kenyon looked at Xiao Hua and pondered for a while and said, "I feel that the treatment you gave makes me feel irresistible. The most important thing is that the job you described makes me feel very challenging! I feel that I am a little unable to refuse the job you gave!" Kenyon paused and continued, "I need to have absolute rights to carry out the work. Can you agree?"
"Since I have paid such a high salary to dig you up, I will naturally give you all rights. Don't worry, you will be responsible for all business development in the club."
"Then I'll make it this way. It will take about 3 months for me to go back to China to handle the affairs. Once the UK has finished processing, I will come to Milan to take office."
"Okay! Let's build a commercial football empire together in the future!" Xiao Hua was very satisfied with the discovery of Kenyon.
After sending Kenion away, there was another round of Serie A. Inter Milan lost 0:2 away to *, and he scored his first loss this season, but no one cares about Inter Milan's loss, because this weekend, the Milan derby is about to kick off!
