On the way, Su Zhen learned from his mother that this football training class is divided into four levels: 6-8 years old, 8-10 years old, 10-12 years old, and 12-14 years old. Naturally, little Tingting is in the 8-10 years old group. At this level, in Su Zhen Xiang Lai, there are not many children in the town, and there are even fewer Xiang Lai who like football. But when he arrived at the football field of the stadium, Su Zhen knew that he was wrong. This time, more than 60 children came. You must know that although the town has a population of more than 2,000, according to statistics, children over the age of six are There are only about 200 children under the age of sixteen, that is, the children who came today accounted for one-third of them. What surprised Su Zhen was that most of the children on the court at this time were wearing Premier League Tottenham Hotspur jersey I didn¡¯t expect Tottenham to have such a big influence on their own ranch. Although there are only about sixty children, the number of people is huge if you include the parents who came with them. One to two hundred people suddenly gathered on the football field, which was very lively. The football field has been divided into ten small areas in advance. It serves as a training place for different groups. Xiao Tingting's group has six children, four boys and two girls, and the volunteer coach of their group is also a young Girls, the training started soon. The coach first gathered the children together and explained something. After a few minutes, the formal training began. The course was very simple, that is, the children started practicing dribbling one ball at a time. . Su Zhen, like other parents, took a folding chair and sat on the sidelines with Liu Ru holding little Gavin to watch the cheers. Su Zhen knew several people around him. They were all old cowboys under his command. Su Zhen was No, chatting and spanking with cowboys. But Su Zhen soon discovered something. There was a little boy in Tingting¡¯s group on the court who seemed to be particularly interested in Tingting. The two little guys always get together, and this little guy is wearing an Arsenal uniform and looks extremely conspicuous among the many children wearing Tottenham jerseys. "Where did that kid come from?" Su Zhen pointed to the little guy with some displeasure and asked his mother sitting next to him, "Damn it, wearing the jersey of Tottenham's rival Arsenal in my ranch is a death-defying rhythm." ah. However, Su Zhen felt a little unhappy. After all, he was not angry with a child. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s Kroenke¡¯s grandson from the ranch next door, and he¡¯s also Xiao Tingting¡¯s classmate.¡± Liu Ru replied while feeding her precious grandson strawberries. May is the harvest season for strawberries in California, and as the owner of a very large orchard in California, Su Zhen has too many strawberries to eat at home. Little Gavin and Tingting both like to eat this fruit. "Nani? Kroenke? That Stan Kroenke from the ranch next door? Why did his grandson come to school here?" Su Zhen asked incredulously. Although the two could be said to be neighbors, they basically had no intersection. There was no contact either. If there is any overlap, it would be that Su Zhen's Tottenham and Kroenke's Arsenal are mortal enemies in the same city, and they are in the NBA. The Clippers owned by Su Zhen and the Denver Nuggets owned by the opponent are competitors, which means that the two sides are not the same at all, but how could the old guy's grandson come to attend his own small town school? Because when the school in Wenquan Town was established, Su Zhen made great efforts, including the strong teachers of the school who were specially hired by Su Zhen. The teaching quality is not as bad as that of private schools, but it is still a kilometer school. Therefore, if there are students from outside the ranch who want to enter the school, the school will accept them. Therefore, some small ranchers and cowboys living around the hot spring ranch will also choose to send their children to the school in Hot Spring Town. However, School management is extremely strict. In fact, in less than two years since the school opened, the school in Hot Spring Town has already expelled three students for making mistakes. Although education in the United States is compulsory for 12 years, unlike domestic primary and secondary schools, students cannot be expelled. In the United States, if a student makes some mistakes that are clearly stipulated by the school, such as bringing alcoholic drinks into school, etc. Regardless of age, students can be expelled, and not only students will be expelled, but even parents will be punished by the school, so even though it is a public school. But in fact, the school management in Hot Spring Town is stricter than that of many private schools, and this is also supported by the residents of the town. After all, everyone hopes that their children can have a good future, and this is why Su Zhen The reason why the family felt relieved and sent Tingting to the school in their own town. But Su Zhen never thought that the old boy Kroenke would send his grandson to Hot Spring Town. After all, generally speaking, children from rich families rarely go to public schools. "Then I don't know," Liu Ru said, shaking her head. Su Zhen scratched his head and couldn't think of a reason, but he stopped thinking if he couldn't figure it out. He continued to watch Xiao Tingting play football. Although it was an entertainment training, both the volunteers as coaches and the children as students studied very seriously, and the whole process lasted for two hours. But when I think about it every SaturdayLater Su Zhen felt that it would be better to leave this difficult task to her mother. Hey, my mother is the parent. When the training session finally ended, Su Zhen met the kid¡¯s father, Stan Kroenke¡¯s son. "Hello, are you the father of this child?" Su Zhen walked up to the young man who was joking with the little guy and asked. "Hello, Mr. Su, yes, I am Nick's father, Josh Kroenke. My father is Stan Kroenke. I wonder if you have any advice." Regarding Su Zhen, Josh can be said to have admired his name for a long time, even though it is just In terms of age, Josh is a full round older than Su Zhen, but in terms of status, he is a person higher than his parents, so he does not dare to neglect him at all. It turns out that this brat¡¯s name is Nick. Su Zhen was a little unhappy when he saw the brat hiding behind Josh and looking at him timidly. Am I scary? Su Zhen still maintained basic politeness towards Josh Kroenke, and did not put on any airs because the other person's status was not as good as his own, not because of his father, but because of his mother, but in fact Su Zhen had very few Doing things like putting on airs. In fact, as far as Su Zhen is concerned, he doesn't like Stan Kroenke very much. Although Stan Kroenke is a sports investment tycoon in the eyes of many people, in front of Su Zhen, the current Kroenke is really not a big deal. What, but Josh¡¯s mother is different. Josh¡¯s mother¡¯s name is Ann Walton Kroenke. When you see Walton, you know that she comes from the Walton family, and the Walton family¡¯s industry is naturally Walmart. Ann¡¯s father is the brother of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, so Ann also inherited a lot of shares in Wal-Mart. In fact, Stan Kroenke is what he is today, entirely relying on the support of the Walton family, not just on himself? Su Zhen could only chuckle. Even today, Ann Walton Kroenke's net worth is far richer than that of her husband Stan Kroenke. In last year's Forbes ranking, Ann's net worth was 2.6 billion US dollars, ranking in the middle of the pack according to Forbes, while Kroenke was only 12 Billion, belongs to the bottom, so why is Stan Kroenke so low-key? With such a wife who is stronger than himself, and a family behind him, Kroenke can't keep a high profile even if he wants to. The reason why Su Zhen attaches so much importance to the Walton family is because, apart from the old conglomerates, the Walton family has the most influence on the American economy and society in the United States. Regardless of Su Zhen's net worth of more than 30 billion, the fact is Su Zhen was tied to Bill Gates and Buffett, and their net worth is not as good as that of the Walton family. Wal-Mart has developed to this day, and still has nearly half of the equity in the hands of this family. Although the Walton family is a new generation, However, its economic strength and influence in the United States are no less than those of the established consortiums. "It's nothing, I'm just wondering why you send your children to Hot Spring Town instead of those private schools," Su Zhen asked with a smile. "Oh, that's right, because the school in Hot Springs Town is the closest to my father's ranch, and your Hot Springs Town is famously safe, so I sent Nick here," Josh said rather humbly. Josh¡¯s humility made Su Zhen very comfortable, but this reason made Su Zhen a little unhappy. Is it close to home? Your sister, you think your son is Rukawa Kaede, then he should go to learn basketball instead of coming here to learn football. Su Zhen couldn't help but cursed, for people like them, distance is not a problem at all, they want to go to school wherever they want. , just buy a house nearby, it doesn't cost anything at all, so the reason of being close to home is a bit too far-fetched, but since people said that, Su Zhen could only nod. "By the way, Mr. Su, the day after tomorrow is Nick's birthday. Nick told me that his best friend in school is your sister, so I would like to invite you and your sister to attend Nick's birthday party the day after tomorrow, when my aunt , Helen Walton will also participate, what do you think?" Josh invited with a smile. Su Zhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Helen Walton? The current matriarch of the Waltons? interesting.
