Chapter 71 Relationships

But Ackerman was right.Compared with other players working in the lower leagues, Ackerman has been very successful.Although he has not won a prestigious title, his results and achievements have surpassed 80% of players below the Premier League.

"In fact, boss, even if there is no injury, I will consider retiring at the end of the season, because I know that next season we will appear in the Premier League, and my body cannot adapt to the intense confrontation of the Premier League. team, so..."

"You can't think like this. Although you may not have so many opportunities to play next season, you are one of the most important members of the team. Your experience will be the most valuable asset of the team." Luo Ming, this is a fact.At that time, the 33-year-old Ackerman would definitely not play the main role in Morecambe, but his playing time was absolutely guaranteed, and Ackerman's help to the team was more spiritual at the time.

"It's okay, boss. I've made up my mind. I'll announce my retirement after the surgery," Ackerman said with a smile.He read everything.

Luo Ming was silent for a few seconds, thinking: "Gary, have you considered becoming a coach?"

Ackerman shook his head blankly.To be honest, he really didn't think about his career planning after retirement.While it's a very common vision of a retired player to become a coach, he's certainly not doing well, so he's thinking more about business.

"Okay, Gary. How about you come and help me on the coaching staff when you're healthy? You know, I'm understaffed on the coaching staff. I wasn't in a rush before. Tony was the only one who was hired outside the coaching staff. The members of the team are very important to the head coach. They must understand the head coach’s tactics and ideas, which gives you a considerable advantage.” Luo Ming said excitedly that Ackerman will serve as Swansea’s acting head coach in the future, He is good enough to be an ordinary coach.

"Me? Is this okay?" Ackerman was confused, but a little excited.

After playing football all his life, he said it was easy to get out of there.Only he knows his reluctance.Of course, he wants to stay in football if he can.

"Of course, Gary, you should know that a recent university graduate like me can take charge of a historic Champions League club and quickly become a Premier League club. Playing football for over 20 years, why can't you be my coach at the same time?"

"Well... this is a very pleasant decision. When you are healthy, come to the coaching staff to help me. We will witness Mocam's Premier League trip next season!" Luo Ming sent an invitation.

Ackerman readily agrees, "Okay, boss!"

After solving Ackerman's problem, Luo Ming felt much more relaxed.Surgery will be performed tomorrow morning.Although Mocam can also perform such an operation, Luo Ming still explained to the club staff.Tomorrow, he will be transferred to the School of Sports Injury Medicine in London for surgery.After all, they are experts in the treatment of sports injuries in hospitals.

The cost of treatment is naturally paid by the club, and the salary during the injury period is paid as usual. This is almost an unwritten rule for all clubs.After all, people are "injured at work" too.

Luo Ming originally planned to accompany Ackerman the next day, but Monk refused.What Ackerman meant was that he wanted his family to be there for him in this situation.

In this regard, Luo Ming had no choice but to wish him a smooth operation and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.He came to the coaching staff to help him.

Taking advantage of the rest of the day, Luo Ming went to Fife, Scotland.

The Fife Peninsula is located between Dundee and Edinburgh.It is said that the peninsula is more like a bay.This is one of the 32 first-level administrative regions in British Scotland, second only to Glasgow and Edinburgh in population.It was once an independent kingdom and later became part of Scotland.It is also one of the seven earldoms of the Kingdom of Scotland.

This place is a great place to travel.It has beautiful scenery and many places of interest and historical towns.Perhaps an unremarkable wooden house on the roadside is the former residence of Adam Smith, the "father of economics" or Gordon Brown, the former British Prime Minister.

But Luo Ming is not here to travel today.He went to the town of St Andrews in Fife.The destination, of course, is the University of St Andrews.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, Brian, a Canadian who often says he's from St Andrews in Scotland, has friends waiting in front of the ancient gate.

"Long time no see, Brian!" Luo Ming smiled when he saw Brian.

"It doesn't look long, Romin." Brian shook hands with Romin, and then began to introduce his team to Romin.

Brian and his team then gave Romin a tour of their studio.While the first impression of the University of St Andrews is that it is tall and somewhat aristocratic, Brian and his team's studio, like all other college and university entrepreneurial studios for science students, can only be accessed with One word to describe - loser!
Drawings, parts and wires strewn about on a messy workbench
After watching for two seconds, Luo Ming turned to Brian who was standing behind him and said, "Brian, I'm not interested in your work environment. I just want to see your results."

Damn, there are still unfinished instant noodle boxes on the table.These guys don't clean when they know guests are coming?No wonder people don't invest when they go to "London City".There are many teams all over the world, let alone all over the world!

Brian handed Romin a detailed plan summarizing what Romin had told him earlier and their team's idea: "We're ready, but we haven't started yet because of a lack of funding."

Luo Ming took a closer look, and the result was very good. A mobile phone with such a configuration and design in 2016 may have similarities with many brands of mobile phones, but it will definitely lead the trend of mobile phones in early 2012.

"I've expressed the investment team's thoughts to Brian before. We have a common topic and some unique understanding of the future mobile communication field. But friends are friends, and business is business. Now I have a lot of thoughts on this achievement, I also have capital investment, so what I want is to buy your company!"

As soon as Luo Ming finished speaking, Brian and his friends started whispering.

"How much can you give?"

"Since this is an acquisition, we work for you?"

"We don't need a person who doesn't know how to command at will..." Before the little friend said this, he found that his language was wrong, because the person standing in front of him didn't seem to understand, but he could hear it very well.

He cites two major accomplishments: using a full-screen LCD and using Android.While this guy isn't part of his team, he's no less important to the team than their leader, Brian.

"I will give you the market price of your salary within one month. At the same time, I only own 80% of the shares. If our studio makes a profit in the future, the remaining 20% ​​will be your bonus..."

In Britain, especially in Scotland, wages in IT and computer industries are not high, because there are too many such talents here.The same reason is that the wages of Brazilian players playing in Brazil are not high.

Especially at Andrews University, there is no shortage of such talents.In addition to prestigious subjects such as psychology, theology and social sciences, ST Andrews University is ranked first in the UK for computing, business and management studies.You know, there are many famous universities in Britain, besides Andrews, there are world-renowned universities, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, University of London, University of Edinburgh, Durham University and so on.

It can be seen that in the face of such a huge competitiveness, the computer and IT of ST Andrews University ranks first in Britain.You can imagine how many talents there are.

What's more, Brian, they haven't graduated yet, so their wages are lower.Generally speaking, the annual salary of an experienced GUI and C++ development engineer is only 30000 RMB, while that of a senior engineer is only 70000 RMB.There's even a saying in British dev engineer circles: We're paid a lot less than the front desk clerks!
It can be seen that it is not difficult for Luo Ming to pay Brian, who is a seven-member team composed of college students.

When Luo Ming renewed his contract, he received a signing fee of 50 RMB.In this fee, Luo Ming plans to spend 30 RMB on research and development; D and subsequent production costs.After all, some basic mobile phone accessories, such as chips, cameras, LCD displays, processors, etc., are still burning money.

The remaining 20 will go to Brian and his team.Experienced engineers working in the financial center of London only have 3 RMB per year, so Luo Ming gave Brian an annual salary of 1.5 RMB, while the other six people did not have an annual salary of 1 RMB.

In this way, Luo Ming’s annual salary for his team is only 7.5 RMB, and 20 RMB can be used for nearly three years.Romin thinks their phone will be profitable in less than three years

In the future, the smartphone industry will indeed be a huge profiteering industry.

Luo Ming and Brian's team is Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian. . .Um, no, it should be that both parties are Lang Qingqiu, so an agreement was reached very quickly.

Finally, both parties signed the contract, which was notarized and drafted by the lawyers of St. Andrews Law School.So far, the two parties have become partners.On the same day, Romin handed Brian a check for £30, with wages paid in January.

In fact, the month is already on the 22nd.Bryan and others said that the cooperation between the two parties will take effect on February 2 next month.However, Luo Ming said that he will not be bad to everyone, so the contract will come into effect on January 1.This is just the wages of 1 people per month for Luo Ming, but the money he gets is much higher than this RMB.

If Bryan's team had a choice, they wouldn't be so brazen about controlling their thighs.They withdrew their investments and took up to 40% of the shares.However, their research and development has been going on for almost two years and took a lot of effort and money.As students, their funds are very limited, and they are not wealthy families.Their investment over the past two years has exceeded their income and expenses, and it has become a burden.

They searched almost all investment institutions and venture capital firms in Britain.Not surprisingly, no one is optimistic about their design and research.Even the St. Andrews school's investment agency and entrepreneurship support agency are not optimistic, so they don't get a penny of sponsorship fees.

In the eyes of these investors, the current mobile phone market is almost saturated.Veteran mobile phone manufacturers control the market, and the fierce Apple mobile phone has gradually begun to form a dominant position in the industry.Therefore, it is difficult for emerging mobile phone brands to win the favor of the market.

The design sketches and engineering machines produced by Bryan's team really weren't very good.Such phones are not available everywhere in the world.Even a country like Britain with an underdeveloped mobile phone manufacturing industry has several brands.

So they couldn't hold on to Luo Ming's investment.If Bryan hadn't met Romin in London late last year, their studio might have disbanded by now.

At the same time, some of the opinions and suggestions put forward by Luo Ming are almost subversive for them.Combining their previous designs and the ideas put forward by Luo Ming, if this design draft is brought out to attract investment, it will definitely attract the attention of many investors, especially those with long-term vision.

But this cake is destined to be eaten by Luo Ming! . . . . . . . . . . .

On this day, Brian and his studio, not even named, officially put the plug-in card.Its name is Mobile Communications Company - St. Andrews Limited).The name was chosen by Brian himself.Romin can only lament his "deep" love for Scotland and St Andrews. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At the same time, Brian will go to St. Andrews Business School to find a student to be the CFO of the new company, responsible for the accounting work of finance and budget.

As we all know, St. Andrews Business School is home to some business wizards, including the children of famous European financial giants and executives of some companies.Of course, people don't buy them for tens of thousands of RMB.In business, reputation is the most important thing.

Luo Ming had to lament that such a famous university is good.He can find almost the talent he wants, and it's cheap
He remained at St Andrews until the afternoon, and then Romin returned to Morecambe.Just got out of the car and bought a newspaper at the newsstand.As a result, I found myself making headlines again.

Luo Ming could only comfort himself: "No. Who made me so handsome? I must always be a target..."

The battle with West Ham was covered by major British media.Through the smell of paper and ink, you can feel the full smell of gunpowder.

There is no focus battle in this round of the Premier League.The only game that could be considered important is Tranmere's home game against Liverpool.But over the years, Liverpool has gradually gone downhill, and Tranmere did not sell Bale in exchange for the Seven Dwarfs.What's more, Richter is still in La Liga.
