Saint Jose likes to watch football games, but rarely has time to watch a serious one. There are many things that need to be done, and Elena has a lot of opinions about him.
He saw their so-called "Argentina University Football Cup" planning copy. The first group match will be held in a week. The real time is tight and the tasks are heavy.
Although the name of this competition seems quite bluffing and loud, after taking a closer look, I felt a little relieved. It is not even comparable to the tail end of the fifth-level league. It can only be said to be an amateur competition between a group of ordinary enthusiasts. .
Fortunately, it's not a regular football match, but we can still do something about it, such as getting some sponsorship.
Hosting a football match requires money, venues, referees, organization, and prizes.
The planning of this event is not very professional, but it is quite complete. It is obvious that a lot of effort has been put into it. We have also obtained the event certificate from the Argentine municipal government, and we have also roped in several school student organizations to organize it together. Now we are short of money. and professional judges and prizes.
Large-scale re-planning is no longer possible, but powerful complementary work is possible.
"Powell, please gather the people from the New Youth League. I think it is necessary to make this event bigger."
"Um, President, are you sure?"
Powell was a little surprised. The president had been blatantly skipping classes recently, and he didn't manage the affairs of the New Youth League very well. How could he be interested in such a small ball game?
"I'm sure, I think this competition is very good, and we need a competition for young people in Argentina. We can invite more universities and middle schools in the city, and we can also invite some amateur teams. By the way, the University of La Plata must invite us. If you want to do it, do it well, and don’t worry about money.”
San Jose's impression is that the Estudiantes Club of La Plata has won many Copa Libertadores, as well as the Intercontinental League and the Argentinian League. The more exciting the competition, the better.
In the afternoon, a large number of core student members came to the New Youth League headquarters.
"We are going to do a big job this time in the University Cup to bring out the charm of our University. I have found several sponsors and co-organizers. You don't have to worry. Since it is a competition for young people and our country has young people, Cup, we simply suggest calling it the Future Cup. Young people are the future of the country. What do you think?"
Sponsors can just ask them to sponsor directly, and the co-organizers can find someone to negotiate with them.
"Okay, president, you have the final say. Anyway, you will pay for the trophy."
Powell said next to him.
"The vice president is right, this name is very good." *41 people
"Well, that's okay."
So a second-tier football cup name appeared.
"The following are our co-organizers: New Ah News Agency, Blue Delta Security Company, and we also invite the Putrajaya Police Department, the Capital Garrison, and the Argentine Import and Export Association to participate. Of course, we will try to invite two of them, and the others will be fine."
If holding a football match can promote the company by the way, it will also be beneficial to future development. You can't lose too much.
"Also, I will try my best to invite some people from the Argentine Football Association and let them serve as referees."
The Argentine Football Association was founded in 1893 and is the earliest football association in South America. You can try to contact it to support young people's football movement.
"The following are the sponsors: Blue Cloud Garment Group, Prali International, Thunder Mining, La Plata Steel Plant and Rennes Industries. Prizes and bonuses are provided by these companies."
"At the same time, social teams will be added to hold friendly competitions. The length of time can be simply divided into three times, the group stage, the semi-finals and the finals. If there are enough people participating, then we can consider adding a few more stages and lengthening the time several times. It becomes About 3 months.”
There are only 11 teams participating now, not even the top 16, but enough people can continue to play in the playoffs.
A regular football league can last for 10 months in a season. Now is the break of the football season. No one is competing for time. Friendly matches can also be held.
The longer the time, the greater the exposure. In the past, it was just done casually, and the impact would definitely not be great.
"This is probably the situation. You don't have to worry about money. This is also an exercise for everyone's abilities, and there will be subsidies for participating in volunteer activities."
So people from the New Youth League began to discuss it. Football has always been very popular in Argentina, and the Argentine people love football fanatically.
In order to gather the number of people and the team, the companies in Saint-Jesse can find a bunch of young people to compete and use them as cannon fodder. There is no problem. They can try something like the New Arab Newspaper Team or the Rennes Motorcycle Factory Team. When the time comes, The news bombardment is another living advertisement.
Since his life goal changed, Saint-Jesse no longer loves football, but has become a tool in his hands. However, he still needs to learn to show his love for football.
…
What else does football need besides talent? It needs endless money. As the football with the most fans, the most games and the highest value in the world, football has countless fans.
Football has the characteristics of strong confrontation, changeable tactics, and large number of participants, so it is called "the first sport in the world".
Even at any time, St. Jose must show his love for football. This is a kind of personality. If the New Youth League can organize a successful football league under his leadership, his reputation will grow rapidly.
Modern football originated in the United Kingdom, and football is also a money-burning game. Why did Messi not develop in Argentina and go to Europe? Isn't it because Argentina has no money, even though Argentina has some of the most talented football players in the world.
"We have two teams participating in the University of Buddhism. Our New Youth League will also form a team, called the New Youth Football Team of the University of Buddhism. But it is very weak and is only used as cannon fodder. The Football Club of the University of Buddhism is the main force. .”
Powell reported some situations.
The New Youth League team was formed temporarily and did not have strong players. They were just student enthusiasts and there were no good players to train with.
"If there are any suitable freshmen among the freshmen, we can recruit them and give them some benefits. Everything can be negotiated. If we win a game, we will give players up to 2,000 US dollars according to their contribution.
The minimum payment is 1,000 US dollars, as well as any internship opportunities from sponsors, and you can also give it to others. What do you think of this, but it must be kept strictly confidential. If you have other requirements that can be met, you can put forward... You will get money if you introduce it. Pay money first to participate. "
As the organizer, at least the team should not lose too ugly. It would be bad if they were eliminated without winning a game. Freshmen have just entered the school, and there must be many playing football. Saint Jose has nothing else. Method.
He has nothing to give, he can only give some bonus incentives. 2,000 US dollars is not a small amount. The annual salary of ordinary people is about this amount. There are job opportunities, such as Prali International, Rennes Military Industry, and Xin'a Newspaper. It can be considered a big company in Argentina, so setting up a new position is not a big problem.
"President, leave this to me, absolutely no problem."
Powell's eyes lit up. The president had made it so clear. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to recruit a few good players and train them. It wouldn't be a big problem to play one or two games. Moreover, St. Hesse meant that middle schools could also participate. There are only four football fields arranged for the group stage, so it is not a big problem to hold them at the same time.
So Powell started his own poaching business.
"Powell, what kind of international joke are you kidding? I am going to participate in the America's Cup in the future, and I will come to participate in a wild event with you? You should leave quickly and don't disturb my practice. From now on, just pretend that I don't know you."
Powell recruited people to some of the school's football biggest names.
"Maniero, don't you need money? If you win a match, you will get 2,000 US dollars in cash. If you win the championship, the group bonus will be 50,000, and the third place will also get 30,000. By the way, if you participate, you can give me 500 US dollars first."
Manero is known as the golden defender among the freshmen. He went to the same elementary school as Powell and is very talented. As for participating in the America's Cup, he is probably bragging. He may not be able to be a backup, but he is already very good.
“When will the game be played, how many personnel will there be, and who will be on the team?”
"There are people like Sotu and Miguel."
"Damn, even these guys are participating. It's not interesting for you to do this, brother. Powell, are you worthy of me? It's a shame that I often said hello to you on the road when I was a kid. Take me there quickly. I want to practice my game well. Qian Those who don’t have money are too outsider, we are good brothers, just put the five hundred dollars in my backpack first.”
"Okay, we'll go there together later."
"Then it's settled."
The New Youth League team expanded rapidly under Powell's money offensive. It also had a reserve team, and of course everyone had money. They also found a retired football coach to help train and formulate tactics, and rented a closed football field outside. Training, and there is also a nutritional chef to serve you delicious food and drinks.
"President, the task has been completed and a lot of people have been hired. Here is the bill. Take a look at it."
"Okay, I don't worry about you doing your job. Do it well this time. All the staff have been contacted, and the publicity will start today."
Saint-Jesse quickly prepared the venue, personnel, and sponsorship, and the trophy was carved out by the machine tools of Rennes Military Industries.
Most of the things were done, and Saint Jose rarely had time to relax. He accompanied Elena to the library to study, go shopping, watch movies and so on.
"Cohen, are you not busy during this time?" Elena tilted her little head and asked Saint Jose.
"There haven't been any big things recently. By the way, Elena, I may have to go abroad in the second half of the year and go to the United States for about half a year."
Saint Jose said apologetically.
"Ah, will you come back later?"
"I'm going back. I plan to graduate early next year."
"Well, it's been a long time. Why don't I go to the United States with you? I have nothing to do now anyway."
"Um, is it really possible? Wouldn't it be too much trouble?"
Saint Jose said with some embarrassment that he went to the United States just to cause trouble.
"No trouble, my brother-in-law is the ambassador to the United States, so it's very convenient."
Elena didn't think it was troublesome at all.
"Well, let's make some arrangements together then. It's just that taking a boat takes too much time. It would be nice if there was a plane."
Are you dating a rich woman or a little princess from a certain family? Or some kind of big family. The former president is the grandfather, and the brother-in-law is the American ambassador.
Saint Jose never knew much about his girlfriend, and it was impossible for his subordinates to investigate her. The relationship between the two could be said to be quite dull.
He didn't know why Elena fell in love with him. Could it be because he was handsome? This was probably the only reason.
"Okay, Elena, your family seems to be quite powerful."
"It's very common. My family is ordinary."
"Okay, I'll take you wherever you want to go. I won't have so much free time after a while."
Saint Jose suddenly felt that eating some soft food was not such a bad thing.
"Well, okay, I want to see ostriches."
"I will take you to the Potassium Triangle to see the stars in the future. The starry sky over there is particularly beautiful."
…
While San Jose is accompanying Elena, he occasionally has to deal with Natalie. The Xinhua Newspaper Agency is also actively promoting the football match and intends to develop like a comprehensive media group.
Xin'a Newspaper also acquired a small publishing house, added some authors who were serialized in Xin'a Newspaper to its name, and began to carry out some simple re-creations that were famous in later generations to expand its influence. Moreover, the publishing group is very important to Argentina's understanding of the world. ,
After all, Spanish is not as influential as English in the world, so if you want to open your eyes to the world, you must study the latest countries and translate various professional and scientific books.
San Jose even plans to establish some science and engineering research institutions in the future to keep pace with world trends.
Especially STAM, something that the Americans proposed a few years later. After the Soviets launched the world's first satellite, the Americans were really anxious. The 1950s and 1960s were also the golden age of American scientific research.
STEM is the abbreviation for the four disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These can be said to be the shortcomings of Argentinians at present. The importance of basic science is self-evident.
When he went to the United States, he also had some ideas about investing in the emerging computer industry of the American electronic technology industry. Sharing the dividends of American development and strategically investing in some new American companies was an opportunity that should not be missed.
Xin'a Newspaper also established a comic agency and began to draw some superhero comics, such as Zorro, the superhero who rebelled against Spain, and the Argentine version of Iron Man, which changed Stark Industries to Rennes Industries. , the La Plata Steel Plant was integrated into it, promoting the dream of Argentina’s rise.
Nora did well in Sunshine Agriculture, and Saint Jose bought a house specifically for her, and the relationship between the two got closer.
Sunshine Agriculture has recently started a buy-buy mode, buying a lot of wasteland in the north and preparing for land reclamation in the spring in September.
…
As time went on, this ordinary event attracted the participation of many teams, and the "Future Cup" was also known to many people. Under the hype of Saint Jose, its influence quickly expanded to the whole country. Under the stimulation of money, The number of teams participating has increased significantly.
Moreover, the ticket fees are set very low, and every game in the entry-level group stage is also full. Saint-Jesse asked Prairie Foods to open a canteen outside the stadium, which can be regarded as expanding its influence.
Especially the interviews before the start of the game and the sponsor sessions are perfect advertising time. Especially the players are provided with a full set of autumn clothes sponsored by Blue Cloud Clothing and specially customized "player soda", which can easily spread. Come.
Moreover, a large part of the audience are students. For them, it is the first time for them to be exposed to such bombardment of advertisements up close, thus increasing the number of potential consumers.
Saint Jose also gave an opening speech as a representative of the organizer New Youth League, which was lively, interesting and philosophical, and also had strong publicity.
The Xinhua News Agency and other newspapers reprinted it in full, making many Argentinians aware of this young man with great potential in San Jose.
St. Jose's excellent performance has also attracted the attention of some people. Most of the content of these speeches is a splicing of some famous speeches from later generations, which has a great spreading effect.
The New Youth League has also gained a lot of exposure. This event also invited the University of the Republic of Uruguay to participate in a friendly match. I have to say that it is quite promising.
The hype for this football match can be said to be quite cost-effective. Companies in San Jose have shown their faces, and the sales of some companies have risen against the trend. Blue Cloud Clothing has produced hundreds of thousands of small Argentinian flags, and also sold football uniforms and peripherals. Special sneakers for athletes are the biggest winners.
"A football game worthy of attention by all young people in Argentina, the most valuable event outside the America's Cup"
"This is the future golden defender of Argentine football. I asked them what magic water they drank during training, and the result was touching."
"The coach of the Chinese Football Association criticized the College Students Future Cup for being flashy and was beaten by fanatical fans"
"Why is it called the Future Cup? The future of Argentine youth football?" 》
"The speech by the young president of the organizer New Youth League is thought-provoking, in-depth and well written"
"Domestic brands appearing in the Argentine University Football Cup, the pride of our country"
Mirinda soda sales are also on the rise again, even though it is already a relatively cool autumn, and the soda bottles are specially printed with photos of members of popular football teams to do some fan marketing.
San Jose has also launched some functional drinks to test the market.
What surprised St. Jose was that the New Youth League football team eliminated the University of Buenos Aires football team, which surprised many people.
I don’t know where Powell found so many freshmen players. The defenders, forwards and goalkeepers all played extremely hard, and they were very talented and very entertaining to watch.
It can be said that the group stage alone has made many Argentinians familiar with some of their own brands. A large number of brands such as Crone sneakers, Blue Cloud sportswear, Mirinda soda, and Hule energy drinks have received a lot of attention.
San Jose also went to watch a few games. It must be said that despite the money offensive, the excitement of this amateur event was still very high. Except for some football teams who did not bother to participate, there were still many football teams that were favorites to win the championship.
In particular, the Estudiantes of La Plata is very strong, as it has been in history.
What surprised him again was that the Blue Triangle football team also entered the quarterfinals. It had to be said that it was an unexpected surprise. He did not spend money here.
Blue Delta is responsible for the security of several major stadiums, and it is really impressive to be able to enter the quarterfinals.
