My name is Colani

"Our goal in the past few years is to upgrade, to constantly upgrade. I have managed this team for a year, and I have a clearer understanding of how to spend money. Do you think I want good players? Of course I do. I can't wait to spend money." Ronaldo was recruited, but this is unrealistic. I am willing, and people will only be willing if they are stupid! So we started to build our own youth training camp, hoping to cultivate some of our own talents and rely on young people to complete the upgrade task. In the First Division, I won’t be soft when it’s time to buy someone!” Hugo continued to express his difficulties.

"Gigi, I can understand! Now the team is in a growth period. Just relying on spending money is not enough. You also need to cultivate your own foundation. This is the foundation for establishing a foothold in higher-level leagues in the future!" Mende did not expect that Si thinks so too. Well, in fact, he is also an amateur player who is not very successful like Hugo.

"Yes, we are working hard now! So my friend, I hope to get your help! The candidates you recommended are all very good and helped me solve the problem. I am very grateful to you!" Hugo smiled.

Mendes will not always count on good things like Cristiano Ronaldo to appear. The current Hugo is a rational football person.

Hugo said that he had no money to do big business now, and he was very honest. However, Mendes did not give up on Hugo's plan. First of all, he was optimistic about Hugo. He also knew some things about Hugo's company. Hugo was not He has no money but is unwilling to withdraw cash to provide for his team. Looking at Hugo's attitude, Mendes believes that Hugo will not stop playing once he plays. There will definitely be opportunities to do big business with Hugo in the future. Secondly, he can Let your young players get training here, and one day they can transfer here, and you can also get a lot of benefits.

Win-win cooperation means win-win cooperation!

After thinking about this, Mendes decided to speak frankly.

"Gigi, I agree with your current business ideas. I don't think our cooperation will end here. On the contrary, I think we can work more closely!" Mendes smiled.

"How do you say this?!" Hugo said happily, but he was actually a little worried that Mendes would turn his back on him.

“Do you know about third-party ownership?!” Mendes asked.

"It's not very clear! You can explain it to me!" Hugo shook his head.

"In Brazil and Portugal, the ownership of many players does not belong to the club or themselves, but is controlled by certain companies or agents!" Mendes gestured with his hands, "If you are willing, I can help You recruit such players, Trapani is responsible for giving them opportunities, letting them play, training them, and then at a certain time, selling them at a high price, your team can also get a share of the money!”

so? !

"This can't work!" Victor yelled first, "We worked so hard to train other people's players?! In the end, we are not the ones who get the advantage!"

Mendes' suggestion is a big deal in Victor's eyes. If the team allows such players to control it, will the team's cohesion still be there? !

"Mr. Colaney, don't worry! I know what you are worried about. For the team, such a strategy is certainly not a good choice, but when there is no money or reputation to attract players, this is A good way to train you will not be in vain. This is the same as when you put Crisiano in Sporting Lisbon!" Mendes explained, "As long as such a player does not occupy the absolute starting position of the team! Partly, this will not have any impact on the team, as long as everything has a certain degree!”

"Then why did you choose us?! Do you know why I still put Cristiano in Sporting Lisbon, right?!" Hugo was not angry. He actually thought this was a good idea. What's wrong with making money? At least it could subsidize the team. You can also upgrade the team at the same time. When I get rich, I can hit Serie A hard.

Of course Mendes knew what Hugo meant. Hugo meant that Sporting Lisbon's youth training is of course much better than Trapani's.

Why should I choose you? ! Mendes is a little depressed, you are so smart, can't you see my good intentions? Of course I can choose a better Portuguese team, but I want to be friends with you!

"Because we are friends! We not only have the present, but also the future. I hope to continue to cooperate with you for a long time. We will be good business partners!" Mendes looked at Hugo with sincere eyes.

Hugo thought for a while and said: "Okay, I think such cooperation is feasible! But I don't want all the players' ownership to belong to a third party. I want each player to discuss the ownership issue individually! Some players I am willing to pay the price, I hope you will not refuse!”

Hugo obviously wanted to reap greater benefits. Mendes thought for a while and agreed. When encountering such a situation in the future, the two parties will negotiate to determine the ownership structure of the players.

"So where are these three players?!" Hugo asked, holding up the document in his hand.

"To show my sincerity, for these three players, you only need to pay a small training fee to their home team. I do not charge commissions, and all ownership belongs to Trapani!" Mendes was very willing. friend, said this to Hugo.

"Won't their cost be too expensive?" Victor asked, but Hugo didn't ask. He believed that the training fee would not be much, maybe only tens of thousands of dollars per person. After all, Mendes should have some connections. Being able to recommend him to his eyes means that Mendes is fully confident that he can make the deal.

"Don't worry, I estimate that it will only cost about 200,000 euros in total!" Mendes smiled.

"Well, take them to Trapani and let Selli see them, and then we will reach an agreement!" Hugo said.

"Gigi, I can take them! That's no problem, but there is one more situation I have to explain to you. Coperle Lavillan Lima Ferreira is not yet 18 years old, so he can't join you until next year. I am very optimistic about him, so I think he is a good future investment!" Mendes said again.

"Okay, Jorge, I believe in your vision!" Hugo agreed. Next year is next year. We still need to buy players to upgrade next year. It's not bad to lock one in early now. The team needs players now, and the more soldiers the better.

Mendes stayed here for a day, and left Hugo and his team the next afternoon to do this errand. Hugo did not stay here for long, but went to Milan with Julia Bonaparte to meet Paul Garlando.

After discussing business matters, Hugo returned to Trapani in early July. After making some adjustments at home, he went to the team headquarters in person to see how Seli was doing during this period. Mendes' matter was called by someone in person, and he took over, but he did not interfere with other matters of the team at all. He took a vacation and did not ask much. Most of the team's transfers last season were done by Seli, a non-staff member. Seli, who became a regular this season, would not disappoint him.

"Leo, how are you recently?!" Hugo smiled and went to Seli's office. Seli seemed very busy. It was only nine o'clock in the morning, but he was already here to organize his things. Maybe he would get another call soon.

"Ah, Gigi, you're back?!" Seli stopped his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I just got home yesterday, and I came to see you today! You must be exhausted during this period, right?!" Hugo took out a box of Cuban cigars he had prepared and handed it to Seli.

"Well, for me?!" Seli laughed.

"What do you think?!"

"Then I'm welcome!" Seli reached out to take it, opened it immediately, and puffed in front of Hugo.

"Oh, I've been so busy during this period! Damn it, maybe I should find an assistant!" Seli complained, how could he not complain? ! There are many players coming in and out of Trapani this year. Every player needs to be negotiated, and a lot of work needs to be done. In addition, the professional league needs to deal with the professional league. The professional league only manages the two levels of the Italian League C. Player transfers need to be reported to them, and the preparation of these documents is huge.

"I'll let Antonio come to help you!" Hugo said with concern, "This way you can also relax a little!"

"He?! Can he do it?!" Seli certainly knew who Antonio Hugo was talking about. Antonio Perotti, who no longer plays football, returned to campus with the support of Hugo.

Hugo just thought about it temporarily. Since Perotti has unlimited enthusiasm for football, why not try this, learn first, and gain some knowledge.

"Why not?! Children learn things quickly! He is so interested in football. You can give him some of the work of sorting files. He will be familiar with it after one or two times!" Hugo said.

"Does this count as using underage teenagers?!" Seli joked with a smile.

"Yes! But what if I use them?! They were still working as child laborers in the team in the first half of last season!" Hugo said with a smile, and then asked, "How is the team's current situation? The new season is about to start. This time we are playing in the professional league, which is different from the Italian League!"

Seli understood what Hugo meant. It was mainly about personnel. There are also personnel leaving in the introduction of personnel.

Seli looked in his filing cabinet and handed Hugo a list, "Here, these are those who are leaving. I noted their destinations!"

He handed Hugo another list: "Here, these are the signings so far!"
