In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 291 The Shining Plan

"Can I leave the airport from here?" Ethan pointed to the passage next to him. The others were amused by Ethan's actions.

"It's me, I'm Mexican, and returning to Puerto Vallarta is like returning to my hometown." said the girl who arrived before Charlotte dragging her suitcase.

She has long dark brown hair, wearing a black coat, and a pair of navy blue jeans on her lower body. Although it is tightly wrapped, her slender waist and round, tight and slender legs cannot be concealed. , her pupils were blue and gray, with just the right amount of eye shadow around her eyes. When she looked at Ethan, those eyes seemed to be talking, she smiled inadvertently, and her soft face immediately became more charming.

She had just said hello to Ethan, who is now the flagship figure of DCC and the team leader Kelsey who firmly occupies the C position in every performance. Wertberg.

She graduated from the University of Nebraska, which Ethan once defeated, and currently works as a registered nurse.

It is worth mentioning that there is a basic condition for entering DCC - having a job.

All cheerleading teams in the NFL are part-time projects. The DCC currently has nurses, sales, dance coaches, interior designers, second-hand housing agents, and medical representatives. Historically, there have even been cases where congressmen have become cheerleaders.

This is a rule set by DCC at the beginning of its establishment. In addition to being an amateur, it can make the audience feel closer to them and highlight the "neighborhood" attribute. More importantly, it facilitates the management of the club. The club is not the "home of these cheerleaders" Employer,” cheerleaders are even less likely to have a union.

The iron-clad DCC and the smooth team members. No one can stay young forever, but the cheerleading team will always be young. Six years is the longest period a team member can stay.

As for the team members, they also understand this rule. At the beginning, many team members were just doing it out of love. However, with the development of the media and as DCC has received more and more attention, more and more people regard the cheerleading team as a platform and a springboard.

Although the entry requirements for DCC are very strict, it is still easier than becoming an actor or a model.

These DCCs are the "Internet celebrities" of this era. They may not be able to make much money, but at least they have a wider range of choices than their peers when it comes to choosing a spouse. To say that the suitors of these cheerleaders can be ranked from Dallas to Houston. No exaggeration at all.

Of course, there are also people who will join the entertainment industry in the future, such as... Ethan looked at the exotic face not far away.

Sarah Shahi, a team member with Central Asian descent, is standing on the outermost edge. Although she and Bonnie have just entered the DCC, she is obviously not Bonnie’s carefree character. She looks a little timid at the moment. She and Bonnie just now Ethan said hello as loudly as a mosquito.

"Yes, the captain is Mexican, let her do it." Rachel Browne, who had just met and had a sweet face, also helped Ethan out.

"Then it's decided." Charlotte asked her secretary to count the number of people. After making sure everyone was present, everyone set off to board the plane.

Although it was only a three-day trip, each of these girls carried a huge flight suitcase, but Ethan traveled lightly.

The round-trip air tickets were provided by the sponsor, and all team members could enter the more spacious business class. At the request of the girls, Ethan moved their luggage onto the luggage rack one by one. Of course, this was easy for Ethan. The girl At this time, they noticed Ethan's somewhat exaggerated muscular figure, and a smile appeared on their faces involuntarily.

Seriously speaking, Ethan is young, handsome, and a multi-millionaire. Such a man will naturally be easily loved by most girls.

But nearly everyone kept a polite distance from Ethan.

First of all, the DCC rules are that you must not fall in love with a player. No one would even think about it in the face of the risk of losing their job.

Secondly, since Ethan joined the Cowboys, his personal life has been discussed by the DCC players. For a long time, after every DCC training, the topic will most likely turn to Ethan. Those models, celebrities, teammates' mothers and other things are enough to prove that Ethan is not a man willing to be lonely. This caused a large number of people to stay away from him.

But there is one exception...

"Ethan, I have a free seat here, you can come and sit here!" Bonnie waved to Ethan immediately and took the initiative to ask Ethan to come to him. His intention was almost written on his face.

Ethan looked at Bonnie, who had an expectant look on his face and a warm smile on his face, and shook his head.

"I have to sit by the window seat." He declined Bonnie's invitation, and then looked at the seat next to him.

Right next to Ethan is Kelsey, the most dazzling member of the DCC team at present, but there is already someone beside her. That is a team member named Lacey Knight. Her large mouth and plump lips make her... Ethan was quite impressed, thinking that the packaging should be good.

"Lacie, why don't you sit with Bonnie? I have something to ask the DCC captain." Ethan said.

Recy looked at Kelsey beside her, and seeing that she had no intention of refusing, she stood up and went to the seat next to Bonnie.

"What are you doing..." Bonnie saw Ethan sitting next to the captain with a very unhappy expression.

"What do you want to ask me?" Kelsey turned slightly and looked at Ethan.

Half of her cheeks highlighted the girl-next-door look in her face. For a moment, Ethan seemed to see Sophie Turner, the actor who played 3 Idiots, but of course it had to be the version without the weight gain.

Ethan just found an excuse to sit next to her...

"I'm just curious about what's in your box. I feel like an elephant has been stuffed inside." Ethan said exaggeratedly.

"Is it that heavy? Stop joking." Realizing that Ethan was joking, Kelsey covered her mouth.

"Just some cosmetics, curling irons, a few sets of casual clothes, and three sets of costumes needed for the performance, and... a bikini. We will have a bikini catwalk on the last night." At the end, Kyle, the current captain of DCC Si Wetterberg looked a little embarrassed.

"Do you often wear bikinis?" When he heard that there was a bikini catwalk on the last day, the smile on Ethan's face became even wider.

What is the problem?

Kelsey felt increasingly embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I just think you have such a good figure, you should show yourself generously." Ethan acted as if he should take it for granted.

"The coach doesn't think so, she also said..." Kelsey hesitated, thinking about whether she should reveal this to Ethan.

Ethan didn't give her a chance to think and kept asking questions.

"She said...my waist is not thin enough, my hips are not wide enough, and my bust is not big enough." After saying that, Kelsey blushed even more.

The coach really understands men.

Ethan was carefully looking at a certain part of Kelsey at this time, which made Kelsey even more at a loss, but she had never encountered a man so direct and rogue.

Where are you looking? ! Kelsey's whole body was a little stiff.

Considering Ethan's identity, being the quarterback of the team is not comparable to that of a little cheerleader, and Kelsey felt very uncomfortable.

Even though DCC is the most well-known cheerleading team, it cannot change the fact that the cheerleading team has a low status. They undergo rigorous screening and training, but only receive very low salaries. They even have to pay for makeup at their own expense. The effort and benefit are obviously not equal. In direct proportion, in addition to overt and covert discrimination, exploitation and harassment.

"Ethan, okay, don't make fun of Kelsey. I didn't see anyone else blushing." Holly Ariel's voice came from behind. She and Rachel Browne were sitting in the back row. Seeing Ethan's body almost tilting to the seat next to him, Captain Kelsey kept retreating and took the initiative to help him out.

"I just don't think the former Nebraska cheerleader should be a good girl." Ethan sat back down at this time.

He was so familiar with the cheerleaders in college, and if it weren't for McKenna, he might have passed it straight away at Alabama.

"I didn't join the Nebraska cheerleading team, I was just a choreographer." Kelsey explained at this time.

Ethan asked about her previous experience. Kelsey was indeed very accomplished in dancing. She started dancing at the age of 3 and participated in competitions at the age of 8.

He was a member of the Nebraska Dance Company and the Millard West Dance Team, then entered the Arizona State Dance Team, and last year was a gold medalist in the American National Jazz Band.

Compared with McKenna, Kelsey is not inferior to professional dancers at all. If it were not for an injury last year, she would not have entered DCC this year, but would have been in a more professional dance academy.

Before, neither Grace nor McKenna only had a dance foundation, far from Kelsey's level.

Kelsey intentionally or unintentionally distanced herself from Ethan, which actually made Ethan more interested. He thought about having an in-depth communication with Kelsey after arriving at the resort tonight...

Although Kelsey would not take the initiative to chat with Ethan at this time, Ethan also found a replacement, that is, the two typical blond sweethearts sitting behind him, Holly Ariel and Rachel Brown, whom he first met. Ni.

Both girls have first-class looks and figures, and their styles are completely different. Ethan can't even clearly point out who is better. He can only find the answer from subsequent live performances.

Although the two of them look beautiful and have taken bikini photos, their experience is not rich, and it can even be said to be a blank slate. Among them, Holly has been vacant for a long time. She has only had one boyfriend in her life, and it didn't last long. When she talked about it, Ethan didn't believe it at all. After Holly insisted again and again, Ethan realized that DCC had actually buried a treasure. Rachel Browne's family was a devout Catholic, and it was clear that there would be no such thing. The kind of pre-marriage star behavior.

"Ethan, are those rumors true? You and your teammates' mothers..." Rachel Browne said the doubts in her heart.

"Do you think it's true or false?" Ethan asked.

"I think it's most likely false... No normal man would like an old woman." Holly said at this time.

How can you little girls understand the happiness of a rich woman? Ethan smiled and said nothing.

The direct flight from Dallas to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, only took a few hours. As they approached arrival, the team members went to the bathroom in batches. When they came back, they had already put on cool summer clothes. Each of these girls was better at dressing up than the other, and the clothes they wore The clothes are also particularly eye-catching.

Holly was wearing a backless floral skirt and a pair of strappy Roman flat sandals. Her toes were painted with bright plum red nail polish. The insteps were very clean and tiny green blood vessels could be seen.

Rachel didn't give in at all, wearing a light little black dress with suspenders and a pair of long legs that pierced Ethan's heart.

The DCC selection regulations stipulate that all team members cannot have any tattoos, even in the most private places, these girls are very clean. But this point is much better than the outside world.

At this time, Kelsey also changed her clothes and came back. Although her clothes were simple, just a black vest and denim hot pants, the collar was very low, which was better than the welfare.

Stepping out of the cabin, Ethan could directly see the distant coastline. The warm and pleasant air was mixed with the special slightly salty sea breeze, which made people feel relaxed.

Ethan is very satisfied with this place. It is indeed a good place for vacation.

The three-day schedule was full of filming. In the afternoon, DCC started the performance project. They went back to the room and changed into their iconic blue half-cardigan shirts and white half-vests embellished with blue stars. The lower body only extended to the pelvis. The white hot pants one inch below, the white belt with a metal lock buckle is also embellished with a blue star pattern, and the feet are leather medium-length straight riding boots. They stood in the lobby of the hotel, surrounding the fountain in the middle of the lobby, dancing the blue and white bouquets in their hands, and doing their best cheering moves. Their movements were coordinated and beautiful, their expressions were natural and friendly, and their bodies were casual. As the waist twists, the rounded spherical upper and lower parts are particularly prominent.

Ethan calls this rhythm, which combines dance elements and nightclub style, "American yangko." Taking this opportunity to observe closely, I discovered that the knot tied at the hem of the blue shirt was not a decoration. If the knot was untied, the narrow shirt would open directly in the middle.

The accident that Ethan expected did not happen after all, and everyone's clothes were tied tightly.

Throughout the afternoon, the team members danced in front of tourists and recorded by cameras. They would take a break every ten minutes, and then start over again. Ethan felt tired just watching, let alone them.

In the evening, a wave of people came to the resort. At the request of Charlotte's secretary, they had to work overtime for another two and a half hours.

And when the first day's activities were over, I was tired and didn't want to eat any food.

"Training five times a week, three to eight hours each time, I don't make much money. Even when I travel, I have to be a hostess. I'm really fed up." Bonnie couldn't help but complain.

Ever since Ethan rejected her on the plane, she seemed a little angry. But now she was not just complaining. Many team members felt the same way. Even captain Kelsey had a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead. His brows were furrowed.

Charlotte's arrangement was somewhat excessive.

At this time, Ethan came back from outside. He accompanied Charlotte to meet with the person in charge of the hotel in the evening and had a meal. During the meeting, Charlotte also revealed all the remuneration DCC received for this event. The price stated Worthy of "poor".

It’s not that Charlotte is shrewd and calculating, it’s that DCC itself has little luck.

At this moment, Ethan was listening to everyone's complaints and knew in his heart that no one could change this.

The cheerleading team was originally created to increase attendance, but now that it has developed, the upper limit is there. Even if DCC is one of the best cheerleading teams, compared with a real performance group, its ability to attract money is still far behind.

Ethan had envisioned change before, but it had failed.

And now, the same problem is once again placed in front of Ethan.

But what was different from before was that this time someone was more urgent than him.

Instead of harassing Kelsey, Ethan went upstairs and knocked on Charlotte's door.

After a while, the door opened. Charlotte was wearing a nightgown and looked like she was about to take a shower.

"If it's inconvenient for you, I can come back later." Ethan said.

Charlotte thought for a while and opened the door.

Ethan entered the room and sat directly on the chair.

"Half an hour after I agreed to attend the DCC event, Stephen called me to the office." Ethan said directly as soon as he came up.

Charlotte was not surprised at all and immediately snorted.

"The staff of the team are all his people. As soon as I show up at the training hall and spend a few minutes in the toilet, Stephen will know it."

Although this is a bit exaggerated, it also represents Charlotte's current embarrassing situation in a sense.

"It's a pity that your father didn't regard you as the successor of the club and gave you the worst job from the beginning." Ethan shook his head.

"The worst thing is to leave the club." Charlotte shook her head.

"So you're ready to quit?"

"Do you have a better way?" Charlotte said casually.

"If you can make DCC's revenue skyrocket, your father might change his mind."

This is like a test of ability. If Charlotte achieves results that exceed expectations, Old Jones will naturally be impressed.

"If things were as easy as you say, everyone would be a multimillionaire."

"As for the cheerleading team, I might actually have a say." Ethan said.

"Is it about cheerleaders?" Charlotte corrected.

Ethan did not deny it: "I once recruited some celebrities into the cheerleading team, hoping to attract more attention, but it was like a gust of wind. The attention came and went faster. But DCC is different. They have widespread popularity. Basics, why not focus on cultivating some of them? Form an additional special group. I think Kelsey and the others are not bad even compared to Hollywood stars, and they are more approachable."

Ethan called this the "Sparkling Plan," but no matter what he said, Charlotte remained unmoved.

"Nothing new or logical. If you just want to say this, you can leave now." Charlotte motioned for Ethan to leave.

"It doesn't matter if you don't accept it now, you will eventually accept it. But I also have a plan that can directly increase DCC's sponsorship income several times." Ethan changed the subject.

Compared with the illusory future, Charlotte is more interested in things that can be realized immediately.

"It's very simple. Why can't DCC have business partners? Hairstyling partners, orthodontic partners, clothing partners, shoe partners, socks partners. DCC has a long history, and businesses are happy to use the DCC name for their products. Endorsement can also indirectly improve the welfare of the team members and make them complain less." Ethan continued.

In fact, this is what future NFL cheerleaders will do. From head to toe, inside and out, they will want to find corresponding sponsors for every hair of the cheerleaders.

Charlotte's eyes rolled, as if she was calculating.

"Go on."

"In terms of styling, we can cooperate with famous local salons in Dallas and let them provide free styling services to the team members. DCC will visit collectively and take promotional photos and videos. This is just one category, and similar categories can be broken down into no less than Ten, you take these categories to attract investment, and whoever bids the highest will get the franchise."

"This is entirely DCC internal security, and your brother has no way of interfering with it."

Charlotte fell into speculation, and this time she remembered her father's strategy of using the stadium to attract investment. Ethan's plan was similar to his father's, but smaller.

Why didn't I think of that before?

Charlotte looked at Ethan: "Sounds good, your talent seems to be not limited to the court."

"Then do this, and you will surprise your father and brother before long." Ethan stood up and was about to leave.

Just when Ethan was about to open the door, Charlotte stopped Ethan.

"Did you come here today just to say this?"

"What if?" Ethan asked suspiciously.

"You... why are you helping me?" Charlotte looked into Ethan's green eyes.

"Of course that's because..." Ethan noticed the deep chasm in Charlotte's towel package.

Charlotte cleared her throat and tightened her bathrobe.

"I just think you have a better chance of becoming the heir to the club." Ethan said.

This answer made Charlotte fall into deep doubts.

Her two brothers are not mediocre. In fact, even she herself would not believe what Ethan said.

"Thank you, but I have to remind you that even if I achieve good results in DCC, my father's mind may not change."

Charlotte said.

When a son has the ability to inherit the family property, no one will regard his daughter as an heir. That's the truth.

"Really? In fact, even old Jones has ignored the Cowboys' real core asset in a sense, and the shining plan I mentioned is just a way to touch this core asset."

Ethan's words made Charlotte feel more and more confused.

"You can come to me anytime later." Ethan turned around and walked out of the room without saying much.

From the perspective of the future, although the old Jones's business plan was excellent, it ignored the most important emerging fields. In Ethan's opinion, it was a waste of money.

And when Charlotte gets the most critical media rights, after a few years of operation, even if Jones doesn't want to, he will have to hand over the club...

At that time, Charlotte Jones might have been laughed at by herself.
