In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 299 Transformation

If you think about it carefully, a young girl facing an unknown future full of uncertainty will naturally feel confused and ignorant, followed by fear.

The lack of security in their hearts will make them instinctively seek support. This is her motivation for saying these words.

"Is that okay Ethan?" Kelsey asked expectantly.

After agreeing to Kelsey, I couldn't escape at all...

"If you are hurt because of my proposal, I will regret it. So, Kelsey, of course I will be by your side from the beginning to the end. This is something that has been determined from the beginning." Ethan Give a reply.

"Ethan... I want to go back to Dallas right now and give you a big hug! But I'm afraid it will be a few days later. I have to deal with my resignation."

Kelsey is currently a registered nurse at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Even if she resigns now, she still holds a nursing license. In other words, even if DCC's "Star Project" fails, she will not be completely unemployed. .

"Besides, the team's affairs... you are not involved in it, right?" Kelsey asked next.

As far away as Nebraska, she also noticed the breaking news early this morning, which is enough to show the widespread influence of this incident. Starting from News Corporation, all the news media were like vultures that had smelled the news. They all gathered around and attacked the Cowboys.

Maybe something new will be exposed tomorrow...

"Of course not. You don't think I'm messing around in Chicago, right?" Ethan asked.

Then you have misjudged yourself. At least, before the game starts, you will be extra calm.

"...I'm just afraid that you will be involved." Kelsey whispered on the other end of the phone.

Kelsey didn't mind that Ethan went out to have fun with his teammates, or she couldn't help but mind.

Of course she doesn't want Ethan to do this, but she also understands that this is a necessary procedure for Ethan to establish a good relationship with other players. There is no way, who made this popular among players.

"Dave was called over by Old Jones this morning. There is a high probability that the Jones family will take action today and tomorrow." Ethan then told Kelsey more inside stories...

·

Everything was as Ethan expected. At 3:30 that afternoon, in the press conference room of Texas Stadium, Jerry Jones summoned all media to hold a brief press conference.

"When I opened training camp this season, I said to everyone that this year the Cowboys will have a new look. Change the image of internal chaos. This is my commitment to the fan base at large. We have made many attempts, including Establish more complete and strict management regulations, set up specialists to conduct comprehensive assessments of players, and link assessments with bonuses. We will even arrange for assistant coaches to check the beds of players every night when they enter the training camp..."

Facing the long guns and short guns, Jerry Jones held the podium with both hands and had a solemn expression on his face.

"But judging from today's results, our previous attempts did not have the desired effect. First of all, I have to express my sincere apology to all the fans." Jerry Rice's tone became even lower.

It’s also a credit to Americans that they don’t have the spirit of craftsmanship, otherwise the old Jones would have to bow three times on the spot.

"In terms of internal management of the team, my eldest son Stephen Jones and I have unshirkable responsibilities. After discussions with the board of directors..."

Although the Cowboys have a nominal board of directors, Jones has absolute control. In other words, the board's decision is his personal decision.

"As general manager, Jerry Jones will have all bonuses for the quarter deducted. Stephen Jones' position as senior vice president of personnel will be eliminated. Next, I will personally be responsible for the team's personnel work and launch a detailed investigation into this incident. We also ask fans to supervise the investigation..."

"Finally, as an apology to the fans, the Cowboys will give every fan who purchases a season ticket a $1500 Cowboys Gym voucher..."

As he spoke, Old Jones suddenly changed the subject and began a performance about thanking the fans.

It's more about marketing than apology.

The press conference only lasted 20 minutes, which disappointed the media who came. Jones did not reveal what punishments he would impose on the relevant players, and only said some indifferent remarks.

The ones who made the biggest profit from this conference were, of course, Jerry Jones Jr. and Charlotte Jones, who were in direct competition with Stephen Jones.

"F**K!" When Stephen Jones was returning from the press conference, he violently kicked the metal trash can in the corridor. He didn't know that the base of the trash can was welded, which made his face instantly twist into a ball. , and then looked at the sister walking behind him unbearably.

"Charlotte, I didn't expect you to use such despicable means!" The expression on Stephen's face was particularly ferocious.

He could trust his brother, and after thinking about it, it was obvious that Charlotte was the instigator. It’s just that Stephen couldn’t figure out how Charlotte got connected with News Corporation.

Speaking of which, the three brothers and sisters were all born to the same mother. Although they usually had occasional arguments, this was the first time such a quarrel had occurred.

"Stephen, don't go crazy again, okay? You know I didn't do this." Charlotte shook her head.

Although she didn't get along well with her two brothers, she never expected that Ethan would concoct such a sensational and vicious scandal, which would plummet the Cowboys' external image and have an irreversible impact on their reputation.

Of course, she is not a holy mother. She understands that as soon as a war begins, it must end with the defeat of one party, and the struggle for power must be accompanied by blood.

"B**CH! You'd better be careful in the future." Stephen couldn't listen to his sister's excuse and shouted, then turned and left angrily.

·

That night, Ethan and Charlotte met at a private women's club in Dallas.

"Now is not a good time to meet. I heard that Stephen trashed his office." Ethan looked at Charlotte, who was sitting on the recliner opposite, and talked about the rumors this afternoon.

Charlotte was wearing a pale pink silk bathrobe and a facial mask on her face. She closed her eyes and was enjoying the service of three young Mexican girls around her. One was responsible for doing Charlotte's manicure, and the other was carefully Fixing Charlotte's toenails, and another giving Charlotte a massage.

This is not so much a club as it is an ultra-high-end beauty salon specifically serving female customers. When Ethan came in, he saw a huge indoor swimming pool, a variety of huge medical and beauty equipment, many middle-aged female customers who were dressed in elegant clothes, and handsome muscular guys with oily hair and pink faces who were waiting outside.

Charlotte's state at this time reminded Ethan of the princes, nobles and princesses of the Middle Ages. And as one of the most famous heiress in Texas, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two.

As one of the top 50 richest people in the country in the future, although Old Jones is particularly interested in the Cowboys, he is not just an industry of the Cowboys. In addition to relying on the Cowboys to expand territory in Texas, Old Jones himself is a well-known person in the South. One of the most important oil merchants in Arkansas, Little Rock is the real home base of the Jones family.

Charlotte opened her eyes and looked at Ethan with a smile.

"Don't be afraid, young man, I opened this place in partnership with my friends. No one knows you are coming tonight."

XX Island, Pizza Gate, there are many secret places in the United States that specialize in serving the rich and powerful, and obviously this is one of them.

"If you like any Mexican girl, tell me, you're welcome, take her home and I can clean your room every day." Charlotte said slowly, looking in a good mood.

"But I only trust you." Ethan raised the corner of his mouth.

Charlotte was wearing a facial mask and couldn't see her expression clearly. She was very unhappy when she thought about it. She crossed her arms and sat upright.

"You don't want to regret it, do you?" Ethan asked with a smile. Charlotte curled her lips and ignored the topic for the time being.

"Did Kelsey promise you?"

Ethan nodded and talked about the next step.

"After the game against the Atlanta Falcons, Project Star will be officially launched."

Charlotte thought for a moment and accepted the suggestion.

The Star Glory Plan is essentially to develop the Cowboys. Now that the Cowboys are encountering problems, of course she can tell which ones are more serious, and the old Jones has just reprimanded her.

"Are you confident you can defeat Falcon?"

Of course Ethan has confidence. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how good the Cowboys are on paper, it just depends on how they adjust.

While chatting, Charlotte's manicure was also completed. The nail shells were decorated with complicated and gorgeous decorations, and attached with rhinestones, like works of art, shining under the indoor lights.

Although this kind of complicated decoration is beautiful, it is not practical enough. It is like putting handcuffs on your hands and you can't do anything. No one except rich people will do this.

Ethan was also ready to get up and leave at this time. This place was really unattractive to her.

But was stopped by Charlotte Jones.

"Accompany me to dinner! You have commanded me so well, it's my turn this time." Charlotte stared at Ethan and said as if for revenge.

Without any explanation, Charlotte directly took Ethan's arm.

Ethan wanted to leave, but Charlotte insisted on letting Ethan stay.

Soon the two of them arrived at the restaurant inside the club, where there was no need to mention the luxurious food. Charlotte did greet a few ladies along the way.

"The one just now is the wife of the mayor of Arlington. My father asked me to have more contact with these ladies. He has always had plans to build a magnificent stadium in Texas that will set a world record. He is currently working with multiple local governments in Texas. Negotiate." Charlotte did not regard Ethan as an outsider and explained directly to Ethan.

Before traveling back in time, when it came to stadiums in the United States, the first thing that came to mind was SOFI, which was invested and established by Kroenke, who would become Arsenal and the Rams. His wife, named Ann Walton, is a Wal-Mart heiress and a member of one of the wealthiest families in the world according to Forbes magazine.

However, before SOFI was established, when Texans mentioned the stadium, they would probably think of AT&T Stadium.

The stadium was later called "Jerry's World," "The Death Star," "The Palace of Dallas," and "Cowboys Cathedral." It was a collection of the most advanced architectural techniques at the time and had a long list of titles when it was built.

For example: the world's largest high-definition display screen. The world's longest beam-free building, the world's largest column-free interior space; the largest NFL stadium; the largest dome building in the United States; the world's longest single-span arch; with a total weight of 11000 tons, the world's largest air conditioner system……

AT&T Stadium is not just a stadium, it also has a huge commercial space inside. It can be understood that a shopping mall was built along with the stadium.

Not to mention the maximum seating capacity of 105000, 342 executive suites, and Jerry Jones's money-making methods, all of which make AT&T Stadium the most profitable stadium in the world.

At the time Ethan was at, AT&T was still in the project approval stage.

"My father has no time to manage the team's internal problems, which is partly because of this incident. However, his three children did not satisfy him." Charlotte picked up a piece of lobster with a fork, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

Ethan heard it in her words - loss.

"Charlotte, if you want to continue moving forward, I advise you to abandon these thoughts." Ethan said suddenly.

"This is different from a football game. I grew up with the two of them. Of course I know why I shouldn't be merciful to them, but..." Charlotte shook her head and said no more.

"From another perspective, if Stephen were in your position, I'm afraid he would do even better than you." Ethan continued, shaking his head slightly.

Charlotte thought about it carefully, then burst into laughter.

It seems that things will really be as Ethan said.

"I know what to do." Charlotte nodded to Ethan.

The look in her eyes now seems to be no different from before, but also seems to have many differences.

"This is the look the female owner of the Cowboys should have." Ethan said in his heart.

After a while, the club staff and Charlotte reported the news that Ethan drove away.

Charlotte suddenly looked at this subordinate and asked for no reason:

"Do you think my usual dressing style is a bit old-fashioned?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, wondering why Charlotte asked like this.

For a moment, I didn't know how to respond, so I could only sneer and say: "You have a good foundation, and you look good no matter what you wear."

"Let's make some changes, just change to a beautiful style that young men will like." Charlotte said with more certainty, and what Ethan once said came to mind again.

Ethan once asked her to change clothes.

·

The next day's training, the Cowboys received an uninvited guest in the training hall. He was not tall, but he had enough authority in the team that the team members couldn't help but lower their voices.

It goes without saying why Jerry Jones came here at this time.

During the training break, Jerry Jones called some players over to talk individually, one by one, including those players who broke the news about having fun on the eve of the game, players who were not involved in the matter, and even some coaches.

As for the training itself, it was surprisingly effective.

Ethan has already begun to lead the offensive team and hone the tactics needed to face the Atlanta Falcons in the next game.

And at noon, Ethan heard his name from the old secretary Jones.

"Mr. Jones invites you to come over and have lunch with him." the other party said.
