My name is Colani
Chapter 214: Fellow villagers meet fellow villagers
Because of Nakamura Shunsuke's matter, Hugo certainly won't be too busy, but Seli is a key figure, so he left Li Tie and Xu Hongtao aside and canceled the pre-arranged meeting.
Xu Hongtao and Li Tie didn't know that Hugo had actually made up his mind to sign him, but his priority was obviously not as important as Nakamura Shunsuke. The two were uneasy in the Colleni Hotel. After a few days, no one in Trapani talked to them about the transfer. General Manager Giorgio Esposito took them to see Trapani's training base.
Li Tie had a good impression of this coastal town. He had also heard that Sicily was the birthplace of the Italian Mafia and the public security here was not good, but he didn't expect Trapani to be like this. The public security environment here is very good and it seems to be on the rise.
Before coming here, Seli had talked about his transfer plan. Although it has been explained that he cannot stay here in the first year, Li Tie hopes that he can transfer and successfully study abroad according to Mr. Seli's idea, and successfully return to Trapani to play for the team. This feeling is an indescribable confidence in Trapani. The training base here is excellent, and the hardware conditions are many times better than those in China.
With a nervous heart, Xu Hongtao and Li Tie waited for four days. Seli finished the work of Shunsuke Nakamura, and then came to the Colleni Hotel to visit them.
Lu Fan drove a Rolls-Royce convertible to wait for them at the door of the hotel. This car was bought by Hugo at the beginning of the year. It is the most expensive car in the whole place of Trapani. It is also the first luxury item in Hugo's hands.
However, Hugo usually doesn't use this car. He prefers his Ferrari, which is not worth much. This car is then used as a VIP car for reception.
Xu Hongtao had some vision, after all, he was a person who studied abroad in the British Empire. Seeing this, he felt that today might be a good thing, which meant that they valued us very much and might sign Li Tie, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Of course, Lu Fan, who was driving, also made them curious. Xu Hongtao finally couldn't help asking on the road: "Excuse me, are you Chinese?!"
"I guess so!" Lu Fan wore sunglasses and tilted his head slightly. Xu Hongtao saw the smile at the corner of his mouth.
But what is this "I guess so"? ! Xu Hongtao was a little confused.
"I am of Chinese descent in Argentina. My grandfather and his generation came from China! So I said I guess so!" Lu Fan explained with a smile.
"You speak Chinese very well!" Li Tie also interrupted to praise.
"What's your name, brother?! My name is Xu Hongtao, and this is Li Tie, a Chinese player!" Xu Hongtao asked enthusiastically. When they first got on the car, Lu Fan sat in the driver's seat without moving, and they didn't exchange names. Xu Hongtao still thought Lu Fan was a driver.
"I've seen you guys! I also go to the training base to play football occasionally!" Lu Fan said with a smile without turning his head, "I saw you guys the day before yesterday! My Chinese?! Well, it's just so-so! Mr. Colemani speaks better than me! He is an expert on China! My Chinese name is Lu Fan!"
This is the second time Xu Hongtao and Li Tie heard people say that Hugo is an expert on China. The first time was from Seli. They couldn't help but feel curious about Hugo. One person's words are not credible. Now even this Chinese said so. So how familiar is the boss with China? ! It's hard to imagine!
"Hello, Mr. Lu! Please take care of me in the future!" Xu Hongtao said quickly. Fellow villagers meet. It's not easy to catch a Chinese. It's good to build a good relationship. Even if he is a driver, according to Chinese custom, the driver who drives for the boss has an extremely close relationship with the boss. Xu Hongtao guessed that the driver should have a good relationship with the boss and maybe he can say a word or two.
"Take care?! Okay?! I have good news for you! Mr. Colani has decided to sign Mr. Li Tie! Is this good news?" Lu Fan said with a smile.
Ah! Xu Hongtao and Li Tie were both surrounded by this huge sense of happiness. Are they really going to sign? !
Xu Hongtao did not ask Seli in English. Lu Fan was revealing the business information for the sake of the Chinese. It would be bad for him to ask Seli again. Maybe Seli would tell tales in front of Mr. Colani, which would be bad for Lu Fan!
In ten minutes, everyone arrived at Hugo's residence on the beach of Giuliano. No one greeted them. Lu Fan parked the car and Seli took Xu Hongtao and Li Tie directly into the villa.
The decoration inside the villa is modern. After entering the house, Hugo heard the noise in the kitchen and came out wearing an apron.
"Welcome, welcome! Are you Mr. Xu Hongtao?! Are you Mr. Li Tie?!" Hugo shook hands with them enthusiastically and asked them to sit on the sofa.
The two were shocked by Hugo's outfit. Could it be that the boss cooked for him today? And he spoke Mandarin so fluently that you couldn't tell he was Italian!
"Mr. Colani, they say you are an expert on China, but I don't believe it! Now when I hear you talking, with your face covered, I will definitely think you are Chinese!" Xu Hongtao murmured in shock.
I am originally Chinese, but I fucking traveled through time. I don't know how I traveled through time! Hugo laughed secretly.
"Hehe, thank you for your compliment, Mr. Xu!" Hugo took off his apron and handed it to Lu Fan, "Brother Fan, it's up to you next! I hope you won't do too badly!"
"Nothing can match your level! All I can say is try your best. Anyway, it won't be hard for everyone to swallow!" Lu Fan put on his apron quickly.
Selly couldn't understand Chinese, so he had to laugh awkwardly along with everyone.
"I'm very happy that you are visiting my home! I am a China expert and I have a good impression of China! I still have a lot of business in China! So I am very happy to see you. Generally speaking, I am happy to meet people who I can cook by myself to entertain my friends! So I’m cooking today, and I plan to let you taste the taste of my hometown!" Hugo smiled and took the coffee that Selly poured.
After taking a sip of coffee, without waiting for praise from Xu Hongtao and Li Tie, Hugo said: "Don't worry, the food I cook will definitely not taste bad! Brother Fan's cooking skills are pretty decent!"
"You are joking, Mr. Colaney! You must have a deep understanding of Chinese food culture!" Xu Hongtao laughed.
"It's true! I once lived in China for a period of time, and my favorite place to eat is in the streets and alleys. There are many masters of folk cooking there!" Hugo began to tell about his experiences in China in his previous life.
Several people talked a lot, all about China. Xu Hongtao gave Hugo a thumbs up and praised Hugo as a "China expert" who was indeed worthy of his reputation.
The lunch at noon was very sumptuous, and everyone had a few drinks. Regardless of whether it was delicious or not, Xu Hongtao praised Hugo and Lu Fan's craftsmanship loudly.
After lunch, several people sat on the sofa and started chatting about Li Tie's transfer. In order to make it easier for Selly to understand, everyone used English this time.
"Mr. Xu, you should know our purpose of introducing Li Tie, right?!" Hugo poured a cup of tea for Xu Hongtao.
"I know, I have been in this football circle for so long. I know you are interested in Li Tie's commercial value, but I hope you are not just because of this!" Xu Hongtao still tried his best to fight for Li Tie's status, at least Li Tie Tie should have playing time, give him some playing time and let him get exercise.
"Of course it's not just about commercial value!" Selly said, "I already talked to Hugo two days ago. Li Tie's current strength can compete for a position in the Trapani team, but I said earlier However, we have no quota for non-EU signings, so we can only loan him to Ligue 1 Guingamp! Guingamp also has shares in Hugo, and he is one of the shareholders of that Ligue 1 team! Li Tie is gone, I believe that after a period of adaptation, he can play the main role in that team!”
"We hope that he can receive training and grow there and become familiar with European football. If we are promoted to the First Division next year, we will use the non-EU quota to take him back!" Selly explained the arrangement again.
"I have no other requirements! I just hope to ensure his playing time!" Xu Hongtao proposed again.
"Don't worry, I will say hello to Guingang. Li Tie is loaned to them not to waste it but to use it well! It will not work if he is not allowed to play. We will specify the number of appearances in the loan terms!" Hugo interjected. , He really doesn’t want Li Tie to be crippled. According to the arrangement, he should play here for many years, but he cannot be crippled directly. It will be very difficult to find another player.
"Mr. Xu, we are a responsible football club! We are not other European teams that forcefully acquire Asian players for sponsorship. It is true that we have commercial purposes, but this is only part of it. We hope to help Chinese football and be able to Let more capable Chinese players appear on the international stage, we think Li Tie has such potential!" Saili explained with great enthusiasm.
Hugo chuckled to himself. When it came to telling lies, Selly was also a master at patting his chest!
In the afternoon, everyone had a detailed discussion on the salary issue. Hugo's salary was very generous, which was higher than Li Tie's in China. This made them very satisfied. Everyone finalized everything in one afternoon, but I'm afraid it will take time just like Shunsuke Nakamura to complete the transfer.
The next day, Xu Hongtao returned to China to handle the matter. Li Tie stayed here, and Hugo asked him to train with Trapani first.
