America 1979

Chapter 96

According to Yevgeny’s introduction, if you want to invest in a small company in Silicon Valley, you must either have a background in a large investment bank, or be a well-known Stanford alumnus, or the investor can bring the endorsement of an authoritative person in the industry. Money takes fewer shares, so that the founders of small companies can also accept investment from unfamiliar rich people.

But the current Mr. Ferrari is not at all involved. He has more than 100 million in his hands. Players who have played in the NFL for several years have assets of this magnitude, which is far from being a rich man.

However, he is still young, the 80s have only passed two years, and he has plenty of time to slowly build up his reputation and accumulate initial wealth.

"...I will actively participate in the Stanford Alumni Association, thanks for the coach's advice."

"By the way, what's the situation with you and the Gold Diggers? Did you contact them again?" After finishing the investment topic, Yevgeny asked about what happened more than two months ago.

Gold Diggers is another name for the Forty-Nines. In [-], the second year after Marshall discovered gold, a large number of gold diggers poured into San Francisco in Northern California. traditions and history of the city.

"No, they made it to the Super Bowl, but it hasn't come out yet."

The game time of the Super Bowl is usually the first Sunday in February, and in order to accommodate the prime time in the eastern time zone, the game is often arranged in the evening.

"I don't know what the rules are in the current draft, but you should not be allowed to participate within two or three years of high school graduation. If you want to win a good pick, you have to play NCAA games for five years, or play hard in your sophomore and junior seasons. Impress the coaches."

Although college is generally four years, the NCAA has a rule that college athletes can play for five years, and "big five" athletes are not uncommon.

"I think if this team is good, I can sign a free contract with them in my junior year and enter the team directly."

This is just Bill's initial idea. Rugby games focus on teamwork, so being on a good team is very important. Simply put, it is only by finding a top team to hold your thighs that you can become the Lord of the Rings.

Yevgeny smiled, "The head coach of Vichy is also my former leader. He is indeed very good. The West Coast offensive is not blown out by the media. But as a player, I suggest you stay with our team until the end of your junior season. Although you were not very eye-catching in the draft at that time, it should be no problem to be selected in the second or third round, so your contract salary will be higher, and your future resume will also look good.”

He was very sincere in advising Bill.

"I understand that we haven't made a verbal agreement with them for the time being. Even if we have made an agreement, we can also discuss and change it. As far as the rules allow, it is natural to maximize my interests."

The history of changes in NFL salaries, that is, the history of changes in how NFL teams play.After the salary cap system was implemented in 93, a large number of NFL players were traded every year, and each team could be reorganized once every two years, and the dynasty team became extinct. However, in the 80s, player transactions in the NFL were not so frequent. At most, the player is traded to another team when he gets old, and then waits to retire.

The two kept chatting about career and other topics until the fax machine printed Bill's futures contract.

……

On February [-]th, in a manor near San Francisco.

At noon, hundreds of guests were entering the wedding banquet in order. Not all of the guests were Italian immigrants, and quite a few of them paid their share according to the Italian custom. The groom is the now-famous Super Bowl MVP Joe Mon Tana, the bride is Cass Castillo (Cass Castillo), this is the second marriage of the [-]ers captain.

Because the Chinese Internet has very incomplete information on rugby stars, many people mistakenly think that Joe Montana is very dedicated and has been with his wife Jennifer Montana for more than 30 years. In fact, he and his third wife We met in 1982 and got married in 1985. Of course, this is a story.

Italians, who are famous for their romantic and passionate, talk about special feelings.

After cashing in two hundred dollars, Bill and Sophia found a vacant table together and watched the large group of guests dance to the accompaniment of the band.

"It's so lively, don't you want to go dance?"

Sophia asked.

Bill waved his hand, "No, I'm just here to mess around, and get to know more people by the way, I can't learn to dance."

As the vice chairman of the Social Association, Sophia's social skills are indeed very strong, and she was the one who brought Bill to the wedding.

According to Sophia, because of Joe Montana's over-accommodation, a lot of wealthy Italian families around San Francisco came.

"I heard that the former head coach of our school team is also a good friend of Joe Montana. If he also appears at this wedding banquet, you might be able to communicate with him."

she suggested.

Because of the frequent cooperation between the Social Council and the Ministry of Culture and Sports, this enthusiastic Italian girl has a feeling of treating Bill as her younger brother, and she is very caring on weekdays.

"Vichy's head coach? In fact, I am in a different position from him. In fact, there is a bit..."

Bill shrugged and gave him a look you know.

Although the [-]ers won the Super Bowl, he hadn't yet made a verbal agreement with Jim and John.

But Sophia obviously couldn't understand, "Why don't you tell me in a low voice, I can't understand the secret inside."

"It's just that I want to go to the draft, but they want me to sign a contract early and join the team. This is a contradiction."

He explained to Sophia in a low voice.

Draft picks consume picks, and among the more than 300 rookies, some well-known names will be picked in the first few rounds. In order to ensure that the team recruits the rookies they want, they have to pay a price to trade to extra picks.

"You can handle these professional matters by yourself, but we can also ask the groom. Joe has a very good reputation and is very friendly. If you are one of your own, he will not lie to you because of the team."

Sophia suggested.

Bill also agreed, and after the dancing crowd changed three times, when the groom greeted the guests table by table, he chatted with the superstar.

"I know you, the tight end who can catch the ball." Joe Montana actually had an impression of Bill, and he switched to Italian to communicate, "My suggestion is that you play until the end of your junior season and participate In the draft, I was picked in the second round. Don't worry, there is a strong person on the team who likes you very much. Let other teams take you away, in this way, your salary is also high, at least the two plus two contract for the first four years is better than the free contract."

His views are consistent with Yevgeny's.

Bill stood up and held Joe Montana's right hand, "Thank you for your suggestion, I will work hard on this."

"I look forward to two years from now when we will play in the same court. In addition, I wish you a good time, and I will... stop talking." The groom pointed to the guests on the table beside him.

The two ended their conversation, and Bill decided to reject the verbal agreement between John and Jim of the [-]ers. He would mix with the red and white teams for at least three seasons.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
