Chapter 856 Yang Ming serves as the president of the Xiangjiang Football Association!

Before this, Yang Ming was not involved in Xiangjiang's football, nor in other sports in Xiangjiang.

However, Yang Ming’s Red Bull beverage company has already entered global sports events.

Now Red Bull is not only a global functional drink, but also starting to build a huge sports empire.

Fuo Yingdong saw that Sir Yang's influence in Hong Kong was growing. Under such circumstances, he took the initiative to give up his position as president of the Hong Kong Football Association.

Why not his son?

Mainly because his son's ability is much worse and he doesn't have enough influence.

Historically, Huo Yingdong held this position for a long time, and later his eldest son also held this position.

Huo Yingdong knows very well that with Sir Yang's ability, he can make Xiangjiang's football develop better.

Besides.

He could even see that in this situation, it was an opportunity to get closer to Sir Yang, and even to bind the relationship between the Hao family and the Yang family.

His own condition is not as serious as that of Mr. He, but in fact, he is also worried.

Yang Ming really had to admire Hao Yingdong's magnanimity.

He could actually give it up like that.

Yang Ming really doesn't care about this title or position.

For Yang Ming now, it is really dispensable.

However, Huo Yingdong can do that.

Huo Yingdong and Yang Ming discussed for another half an hour.

"Sir Yang, in order to let you know more about the situation of the Xiangjiang Football League, we have prepared for a friendly match between Xiangjiang's Nanmei Football Team and Xiangjiang Jinggong Sports Team at 14:00 tomorrow afternoon."

Nan'ei Football Team and Xiangjiang Jinggong Sports Team have always been the two most successful teams in the current Xiangjiang Professional League. In particular, Nan'ei Football Team was first established in 1908, and the name of Nan'ei Football Team was officially determined in 1910.

In Yang Ming's previous life, the Nanwei Football Team was the team that won the most Xiangjiang League A titles among professional teams in Hong Kong, with a total of 38 times.

At the same time, there are 29 senior silver medals, 8 Governor's Cup, 8 FA Cup and 2 League Cup championships.

Hong Kong Seiko has won the First Division Football League championship 9 times, including a record of seven consecutive league championships from 1979 to 1985, and has won the Silver Medal Championship 8 times. The Governor's Cup and the FA Cup have won 6 times each.

If other awards such as the Wood Shield and President's Cup are included, Seiko has won more than 40 championships in total, which means an average of 2-3 championships per year.

These two teams are the strongest teams in the Hong Kong Football League.

Yang Ming had already heard about it, but he didn't pay attention.

Obviously, the purpose of holding this friendly match is to let Yang Ming serve as the president of the Xiangjiang Football Association and let him see what football in Xiangjiang is like.

The two of them finished talking about business.

Coming out of the study, Yang Ming saw the eldest son of the Huo family walking over with a three or four-year-old child in his arms.

"Sir Yang, this is my son." Mr. Huo said.

"Hello, young master Huo."

Yang Ming took over the child from Huo's eldest son.

Yang Ming naturally knew who he was.

It was the third generation heir of the Hao family who would marry the diving queen in the future.

Now he is just a three or four-year-old child. Naturally, the child does not know who Sir Yang is.

Yang Ming put down the young master of the Huo family.

Huo Yingdong glanced at his grandson. Sir Yang was able to hug his grandson, which was to give face to the Huo family and his son.

Sir Yang’s current identity?

In Xiangjiang, no one can compare with it.

As for Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, etc., they are far behind compared to Sir Yang.

18:00 in the evening.

The restaurant of the Huo family mansion.

Yang Ming and the Hao family finished dinner.

Huo Yingdong and his son personally sent Yang Ming out.

Yang Ming got into the car and headed back to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

On the way back.

Yang Ming looked outside.

It was already 20:30 in the evening when we returned to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

Yang Jirong and his wife knew that Yang Ming was visiting Hao's house, so they must have had dinner at Hao's house.

Now, Yang Ming came back, said hello to Yang Jirong and his wife, and went back upstairs to take a shower.

Return to the study.

Recalling the situation of domestic football in his previous life, Yang Ming really didn't want to touch it and didn't dare to touch it.

However, football in Xiangjiang is different.

If all football management rights in Xiangjiang fall into his hands, in Yang Ming's view, he can prove that Chinese football will not lose to others.

Have a night's rest.

Early the next day.

Yang Ming got up and had breakfast with his parents.

This morning, Yang Ming did not go back to the Empire State Building, but went to the headquarters of the Hong Kong Football Association.

Since the Heung Kong Football Association was founded in 1914, it has a history of nearly seventy years.

During these long years, the Football Association has witnessed the changes in football in Hong Kong.

When the Football Association was first established, it did not have any paid staff or a fixed office; all personnel involved in the administrative and management work of the Football Association were entirely voluntary.

Since then, the development of football has become increasingly prosperous, and a large amount of paperwork needs to be processed. At the same time, space is needed to store these documents. Therefore, the Football Association decided to set up an office and rented half an office building at No. 4, 55th Floor, Guangdong Bank Building, Central District. office, while the other half of the office is rented by the printing office.

At that time, the Football Association had only one volunteer secretary to handle daily affairs.

After 1945, the Football Association rented a house in Room 2, 211nd floor, Tai Chi Hang, Central District. At that time, Tai Chi Hang was a wooden building with an office area of ​​about 500 square feet. In addition to the enlarged working space, the voluntary secretary It was changed to salaried employment and two additional staff members were added to assist the secretary in his work.

In 1954, the Football Association was registered as a limited company in accordance with the Companies Act. In the same year, it also joined the International Football Association and the Asian Football Confederation as members.

At this time, Xiangjiang football also entered a prosperous era.

In order to further promote the football business, the then President of the Football Association, James Skinner, rented the newly expanded Heung Kong Club Stadium on Sports Road, Happy Valley (the Football Association had loaned public funds to the Heung Kong Club to expand the stadium) for a monthly rent of NT$75. The office was located in The basement under the No. 15 stand of the stadium has a -year lease.

The number of staff at that time also increased from two to four.

By the 70s, the FA had more than a dozen employees (including one secretary each, one deputy secretary, two assistant secretaries, one coach and one accountant, two female staff responsible for daily paperwork and three handymen, etc.) .

The structure and operation of the Football Association are also fully on track.

In order to cope with the large amount of work in the future and exchanges and contacts with the outside world, and to have a long-term and fixed place to develop business, the Football Association applied to the government in 1972 to allocate land to build a permanent clubhouse.

In order to cope with the large amount of work in the future and exchanges and contacts with the outside world, and to have a long-term and fixed place to develop business; in 1974, the plan was finally realized, and the Government-General officially handed over a piece of land in Ho Jiaotian that year to provide sufficient Always build a clubhouse.

After five years of preparation, the permanent clubhouse of the Football Association located in Fat Kwong Street, Ho Man Tin was officially opened at 1979:9 on September 10, 17, after the opening ceremony hosted by FIFA President Xia Weilang.

The new clubhouse is three stories high, with an area of ​​19000 square feet, and can hold large-scale meetings. The clubhouse is still in use today, and the administrative and management scale has also entered the modern era.

In fact, to describe it in one sentence, football in Xiangjiang will be very poor.

In this regard, it can be said to be a world of difference compared with the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
