It's not just the wilderness that there will be a 22-year-old police chief, and Steve, the general manager of the Eagles club, has just turned 22.

During his college years, Steve loved football, and organized a football club with his classmates, and ran it well, and the football club established by Steve was also the predecessor of the University of Nyasaland Football Club.

After graduating, Steve came to work for the Eagles Football Club, where his outstanding academic qualifications and resume made Steve quickly stand out as the general manager of the Eagles Club.

Steve studied finance in college, and before graduating, he received a job offer from RAND Bank and Nyasaland at the same time, Steve chose to intern at Nyasaland and eventually chose to apply for a job at the Eagles club out of his love for football, which also made many people not understand Steve's choice.

Steve's response to this is: choose an industry that you like, so that you can burst out with 100% enthusiasm in your work.

Under Steve's leadership, the Eagles Club has grown from 5,000 members in March to more than 10,000 by May.

"This is the advantage of the Lord being the boss, and only the Lord will have such a huge appeal in Los Angeles." Steve is very happy with the way the club is doing and even more so with the Eagles' results.

The Los Angeles League is now more than halfway through the season, and the Hawks are far ahead, with 19 wins and one draw, and they have not tasted defeat.

"Itno's new logo for the club has been published in the newspaper for a month, and the response from members has been very good, and I have contacted the garment factory to produce team-related merchandise, gloves, scarves, hats, jerseys, backpacks, etc., etc., etc.," Schalke, the club's director in charge of publicity and promotion, held a jersey embroidered with the new team logo, which was a black double-headed eagle with wings ready to fly, and the iron-gray jersey was impressive.

In order to solicit new team logos, the Eagles club placed advertisements in the Nyasaland Daily to solicit design proposals from the whole society at a high price.

A design by a designer from Itno stood out from more than 1,000 submissions and was published in the newspaper before being selected.

"We have to send people to the garment factory to strictly monitor the quality, and we have to contact Itno to redesign the peripherals of these teams, to be beautiful, to be handsome, to be stylish, to make the fans and members love it, not only to let them come to the stadium in their jerseys, but also to let these peripherals into their lives." Steve has ambitions, Nyasaland football is being professionalised, a professional league will start next year, and sports are gradually becoming a part of Nyasaland life.

"Is this necessary? I think we have beautiful jerseys now, and Itno is not cheap, which will increase the cost of team merchandise, which will affect the sales of team merchandise. Schalke has doubts, these team peripherals of the Hawks are not cheap, a jersey is 5 rand, a backpack is 11 rand, and the average middle-class family has to grit their teeth to buy a complete set of equipment.

"Of course it's necessary, it's a big expense, but it's a fixed expense and we can't add it to the costs around the team, it's not about profits, it's about the loyalty of the members and the fans." Steve has already received Roque's true biography, and with Roque's support, the Hawks Club is not short of money.

Plans have also been finalized for the Eagles' new stadium, which will be the largest stadium complex in the world on Sunset Boulevard on the shores of Lake Niassa and will be the largest stadium complex in the world.

The world's largest stadium is not cheap, the new stadium uses a lot of new technology, including the double-decker stands, and the cost has soared to R1.1 million, but this is acceptable for Roque, after the new stadium is completed, it can be used not only for football matches, but also for other events, and it is still very cost-effective to build a new L.A. landmark for R1.1 million.

"Okay - Rand United called again, they still want to buy Lu, and this time Rand United has raised the price to 50,000 rand." The expression on Schalke's face is very tangled, Lu Whale is still the top scorer in the league, and Rand United is indeed wealthy.

Like the Eagles, Rand United is building their own new stadium.

Xiao Si has always been unwilling to eat, drink and have fun in these things, only 100,000, Xiao Si does not blink an eye, the new stadium of the Rand United is located next to Star City Avenue between Los Angeles and Star City, and can also accommodate 45,000 spectators after completion, which is also the reason why the Eagles' new stadium "may be" become the largest comprehensive stadium in the world, if there is no Xiao Si jumping out to stir up, this "or will" can be removed.

For Xiao Si's decision, Roque is still very welcome.

The prosperity of the football market is not enough for Roque alone, and without Xiao Si's participation, Roque will also have a lot less fun.

In this case, Henry should also be brought in, the Big Three is missing one, and it always feels imperfect, after all, the triangle structure is the most stable structure.

"If you don't sell it, Lu is not for sale, even if the Rand United team gives out 100,000, we won't sell it." Steve is confident, is the Hawks short of money? It's a joke.

Although the professional league has not yet started, the scramble between clubs has already begun.

It's not just the Rand United, for the weaknesses in some positions in the team, the Eagles club is also crazy about grabbing people, the small club is painful and happy, they have been compensated by Ewest, but they have also lost the possibility of going further, the professional league is so cruel.

"Then we have to increase the contract given to Lui, and the Rand United have offered Lue an annual salary of R1,800, and if we want to keep Lui, then we have to match the contract of the Rand United." Schalke is full of worries, the strength of Rand United is not bad, and the team owner is rich, and it is indeed very competitive.

"R1800? Bacchus is simply crazy, the Lord's annual salary is probably not 1800 rand-" Steve blurted out that professionalism is also a double-edged sword, there are pros and cons, and now the downside has begun to appear.

"You have to ask the Lord this question—" Schalke did not dare to speculate on Roque's income, so many accountants at the Rand Bank could not understand it, let alone Schalke.

"No, I'm going to the governor, we can't let Rand United disrupt the market, we want to limit the salary of players, players can't make more than a thousand a year, no, can't exceed five hundred-" Steve reacted quickly, this is also the disadvantage of Roque and Xiaosi's participation in the game, and other clubs are definitely not so wealthy.

"Because of this to go to the governor? Let's talk to Bacchus. Schalke had an idea.

That's right, you can't go to Anton for everything, the governor is also very busy at work, and he doesn't have time to revolve around the professional league all day, and Steve and his team managers are fully capable of solving this matter.

"Okay, contact Andre and Joseph, let's have afternoon tea together-" Steve readily agreed, Andre is the general manager of the Rand Bank Club, and Joseph is the general manager of the Nyasaland club, and the two clubs, plus the Eagles, and Bacchus' Rand United, are now in the final four of the Los Angeles League, in the first group.

In the Los Angeles League, Steve is still more appealing.

The next day, the general managers of the four clubs gathered at the Eagles Club's training base on the outskirts of Los Angeles, which has a total area of about 150 acres, 12 standard soccer fields, and ancillary facilities for the players to train and rest.

"The age echelon is just a gimmick, there is no need to be so troublesome, with the strength of your Eagle club, it is not better to buy more powerful players directly from other clubs-" Bacchus stood in front of the three-meter-high glass window, his mouth sour, but his eyes were burning.

On the pitch outside the window, a football match is being played, and the players participating in the game are all children under the age of ten, and several of them are very good seedlings in time.

"That's why I'm looking for you to have tea, we can poach people, but there must be a limit, not unscrupulous." Steve is very satisfied with the echelon of the club, football should start from the baby, the club often organizes similar competitions, promotes football at the same time, but also selects outstanding talents for the club.

This is also the reason why Roque promotes football, the living standard of the people of Nyasaland has now been greatly improved, the problem of food and clothing has been solved, the next thing to solve is the level of health, football is a very good sport, once these children develop a love of sports, then they will benefit for life.

"Oh, Steve, your Eagle Club is strong and far ahead, of course you are qualified to say that, but we in the Rand United team also want to achieve good results, so what do you say?" Bacchus is not afraid of Steve, Xiao Si has invested so much in the RAND United, and he also has requirements for results.

"The answer is in the stadium outside the window, and if you want a good player, you either train it yourself or operate within the limits of the rules." Steve is full of momentum, Andre and Joseph don't talk to watch the excitement, this is actually a family, advancing and retreating together.

"What rules?" Bacchus laughed, the Los Angeles league really doesn't have this kind of rule.

"We are now formulating rules to limit the salaries of players, and we cannot increase the salaries of players indefinitely, and it is more beneficial for the club to control the salaries of players to a certain extent." Steve is in power and has a sense of making history.

"I know what you're talking about, since I'm willing to give Lu 1,800 rand, then Rand United can afford it." Bacchus didn't want to give up, in addition to money, Lu Whale really had no reason to switch to Rand United.

"Bacchus, if you want to say that, it's not interesting—" Andre sighed faintly, who was the richest of the RAND Bank!
