Chapter 857 Xiangjiang Football Club is very poor!

The most successful sports event in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong horse racing.

The richest sports event in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

On the contrary, Xiangjiang Football Club is a very poor sports project in Xiangjiang.

That's exactly what it is.

At this time, all important positions in the Hong Kong Jockey Club were held by white executives. On the contrary, the Huo family of the Hong Kong Football Club had been involved very early.

Heung Kong Football Association Headquarters, Fo Kwong Street, Ho Man Tin.

In addition to Huo Yingdong and his son who had arrived early, other staff of the Xiangjiang Football Association had already arrived.

They knew that Sir Yang, chairman of the Empire Group, would arrive soon and would soon serve as the president of the Hong Kong Football Association.

Ho Man Tin is located in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Yang Ming left the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa and arrived nearly two hours later.

When Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce stopped at the Xiangjiang Football Association headquarters.

Yang Ming has already met Huo Yingdong, his son and others. In addition to them, there are also other employees of the Football Association.

There are not many staff members in total, because there are too many to support.

When Yang Ming came down, Huo Yingdong, his son and others were already there to greet him.

"Sir Yang, please come inside."

A group of people welcomed Yang Ming in.

First, we visited the development of Xiangjiang football over the years, including the trophies won by the Xiangjiang football team, etc.

After Yang Ming finished the visit, he returned to the conference room.

At this time, the main person in charge of the Xiangjiang Football Association, staff, and the person in charge from the Sports Bureau of the Government House came.

They have been informed.

Mr. Fu Yingdong took the initiative to give up the position of president of the Hong Kong Football Association to Sir Yang, who only served as the honorary president.

If Sir Young wants to serve as the President of this General Conference, I am afraid that no one will dare to object and will not object.

"I propose that Sir Yang will officially serve as the president of the Hong Kong Football Association from today on. Do you have any objections?"

Huo Yingdong looked at the sitting representatives and asked.

No one objected.

Even white people are not interested in these things, and there is not much money. On the contrary, the Xiangjiang Football Association is really poor.

Sir Yang is the richest person in Hong Kong and the most influential person. If Sir Yang can sponsor Hong Kong football, perhaps they and their employees can live a better life, including salary and benefits.

Yang Ming looked at the people sitting there and found that they all looked at him with respect.

There seems to be no objection.

Including a few white people.

Last night, when Huo Yingdong made that move, it was already decided.

That is, from now on.

Yang Ming officially serves as the president of the Xiangjiang Football Association, with full authority to manage the affairs of Xiangjiang football, including the Xiangjiang football league and the Xiangjiang football team's participation in international football competitions.

Yang Ming couldn't spend too much time on this, he just asked people to develop in which direction.

From just now, Yang Ming has learned that the Xiangjiang Football Association is very poor. Before this, it even needed sponsorship from some businessmen to be able to maintain the Xiangjiang Football Association.

Even, historically, there have been cases of bankruptcy simply because there was no money.

If the Governor's Palace did not allocate funds and other businessmen did not sponsor it, I am afraid that the dozens of employees here would not be able to support it.

In this case, Huo Yingdong also relieved himself of the heavy burden and let Yang Ming take charge.

Now it is impossible for the Xiangjiang Football Association to bring wealth to individuals, but it can bring fame.

In Yang Ming's view, reputation is more important than his wealth at this time.

When Huo Yingdong announced that Yang Ming would be the president of the Xiangjiang Football Association, he had already given up his position and sat aside.

"Everyone, I am very grateful to Mr. Hao for trusting me. Since I am now the president of the Xiangjiang Football Association, I will definitely develop the Xiangjiang Football Association and Xiangjiang football."

As for the specific situation of the Xiangjiang Football Association, Yang Ming is not very clear yet.

He didn't express his thoughts immediately.

"Now if you have any suggestions, you can put them forward to me immediately."

"President Yang, can you increase our salary and benefits? We haven't had a salary increase for many years." A staff member from the Secretariat said immediately.

rise salary?

Yang Ming knew that the Xiangjiang Football Association was very poor, but he didn't know how poor it was.

Huo Yingdong on the side asked someone to bring the account books of the Xiangjiang Football Club over the years.

The staff opened it and showed it to Yang Ming.

Only then did Yang Ming learn that the Xiangjiang Football Association was indeed very poor. In addition to occasional financial subsidies from the Governor's Office and the Xiangjiang Sports Bureau, it mostly relied on sponsorships.

These sponsorships cannot be related to interests. As a result, the Xiangjiang Football Club relies on itself and does not have much income at all. On the contrary, it handles more and more affairs, and the monthly salary of these employees is also a large amount of money, so that Their pay and benefits haven't improved in years.

It is precisely because of this that there were still white people in the management team in the 1960s, but they gradually left the Hong Kong Football Association after the 1970s.

How can the Xiangjiang Football Club attract those white people when it has no money, no oil, and even, in many cases, no salary?

In this regard, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is completely different.

The system of the Hong Kong Jockey Club is very complete.

Just relying on the horse racing tickets and lottery tickets in each period, the annual income is increasing. It is precisely because of that that the Hong Kong Jockey Club has many employees, and most of the executives are monopolized by white people.

After Yang Ming read it, he no longer knew what to say.

"Sir Yang, this is what the Xiangjiang Football Association is like. Before this, it was even worse. It didn't even have a fixed office place." said Huo Yingdong on the side.

If it was really that good, how could those white people leave it to the Chinese to manage it?

Yang Ming nodded.

In the morning, Yang Ming was at the Xiangjiang Football Association to briefly understand the situation of Xiangjiang football.

noon.

Yang Ming, Huo Yingdong and others finished lunch at the restaurant outside.

In the afternoon, we took a bus to the Hong Kong Club Stadium.

It was later known as the Xiangjiang Stadium.

So Kon Po was originally a burial place for the victims. Later, the Governor's Office of Hong Kong moved the bone tomb there to Ji Long Wan near Wah Fu Estate in Hong Kong Chai today.

The pre-reconstruction Government Stadium accommodated 25,000 people per day, witnessing a glorious chapter in the history of Hong Kong football for a generation.

At that time, every time there was a league match, the stadium would be full and red flags would be hung. Fans who could not buy tickets would climb the hillside near Zhengmin Village behind the stadium to watch the game.

Historically, until Stadium 1 was rebuilt into the Xiangjiang Stadium, the capacity could be as high as 40,000 people. If additional seats are added to the venue, the maximum seating capacity can reach 58,000 people. It is currently the largest outdoor multi-purpose sports venue in Xiangjiang.

at this time.

Many fans have already come to this Xiangjiang Club Stadium.

Today, in order to celebrate Sir Yang succeeding Mr. Huo Yingdong as the new president of the Xiangjiang Football Association, Xiangjiang's Nanmei Football Team and Xiangjiang Jinggong Sports Team will hold a grand friendly match here.

This game is ticketed, but ticket proceeds will be donated to relevant charitable funds.

Today is Sunday, and there are still many viewers here.
