My name is Colani

Le Graet became the vice president of the French Football Association in 2005. In the end, he is a well-known figure in France. What's more, his job in the Football Association is to reduce the pressure on the team and find ways to make the team self-sufficient.

The Pozzo family's approach is naturally less and less recognized by Le Graet. He doesn't pray for Guingamp to make much money, but at least you have to give some profit. The current football market is more and more different from previous years.

Football, the world's largest sport, attracts countless fans and is getting hotter and hotter. This leads to inflated player prices. More and more modern and detailed management makes the club's operating costs continue to rise. However, the current social economy is completely disproportionate to the football craze, and the imbalance between income and expenditure makes it difficult for many teams to survive.

Ligue 1 has always been a place where stingy business is done, but it is difficult for them, not to mention Guingamp, which is originally a small town with no achievements, no stars, and no large fan base to support it. The operation is even more annoying. Seeing the Pozzo family sucking blood, Le Graet is naturally 200% unhappy. It is not the first time that he has communicated with Hugo about such issues.

Le Graet knows very well that the reason why the Pozzo family is so unscrupulous is probably because Hugo has not spoken. Hugo has been reducing his shares. Now he holds 30% of the club's shares, and the Pozzo family also holds 30%.

If Hugo chooses to be with him, he will suppress the Pozzo family. On the contrary, if Hugo and the Pozzo family are together, then Le Graet will have no way to object.

But why did Hugo reduce his shares in Guingamp? ! This is obvious. This team is no longer important to him, and he does not need such a team. This is caused by the change in Trapani club strategy and youth training strategy.

Le Graet and Hugo's friends have two intentions. The first is to persuade Hugo not to sell his shares. He hopes that Hugo can increase investment and fully own Guingamp. Le Graet has full confidence in Hugo. Look at Trapani, which swept across Europe under Hugo's leadership. As long as Hugo is willing to do it, Guingamp has a promising future. On the other hand, the Pozzo family is clearly for the purpose of making money. Even if Guingamp is their tool, it should be treated better, but the Pozzo family obviously only cares about Udinese.

Le Graet does not expect Guingamp to reach the status of Trapani, but at least he hopes that this small hometown club can gain a foothold in the French Ligue 1, and it would be nice to taste the taste of European competitions occasionally.

The second meaning is to drive away the Pozzo family. Hugo is capable of running his own business.

"I really can't think of any benefit for me to get this team?!" Hugo was not very interested in this proposal. After the club's policy changed, there was no need to toss like this. He originally planned to give up Guingamp and concentrate on running Trapani.

"Mr. Le Graet, you know that the reason why I invested in Guingamp was to serve Trapani..." Hugo said bluntly.

Le Graet raised his hand to interrupt Hugo's statement, "I know, I know! But why don't you continue to persevere?! Gino, that little bastard, can make money in this way, why can't you?!"

"In your mind, Trapani must be very important. What does it matter? I believe you can get benefits from it..." Le Graet told Hugo about many advantages of Guingamp. Not to mention the innate advantages in recruiting players, Le Graet actually made Guingamp fans have low requirements. You don't have to bear pressure as a reason to attract Hugo, which made Hugo laugh and cry.

"Why do you expect me to buy all the shares? The reason why I let the Pozzo family come was to reduce my losses!" Hugo complained, which was also the truth.

"Because you are better than them, how much money do they have? They can't withstand the wind and waves, you are different, I just hope that Guingamp can be put in the hands of reliable operators!" Le Graet said.

"Then you are wrong! Haha, Mr. Le Graet, I can guarantee that the Pozzo family may have proposed a plan to acquire the entire company to you?!" Hugo said with a smile.

"Uh, how do you know?!" Le Graet was stunned. He didn't know that Hugo knew the Pozzo family's virtues best. Maybe renting players is one of the means of attack.

"Maybe renting a large number of players to Guingamp has a very different meaning! He may be lowering the price!" Hugo chuckled.

The Pozzo family made an offer, but Le Graet disagreed. He hated the Pozzo family's behavior. The offer was too low and completely failed to meet expectations. All kinds of actions were also disgusting, so Le Graet went to Hugo.

Le Graet heard that the Pozzo family did not inform Hugo, but planned to trade with Hugo privately. The time was not right. Le Graet originally wanted to make it clear to Hugo after the deal was settled. Who knew that Hugo knew Gino Pozzo so well that he could quickly figure out that the Pozzo family wanted to own Guingamp alone!

"Mr. Le Graet, you, you want me to buy their shares?! This may be a bit difficult!" Hugo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Le Graet always thought that Hugo was powerful and could buy the shares of the Pozzo family, but he didn't know that when faced with interest issues, how could the Pozzo family let go easily.

"Let me think about it! In fact, you have made me a little tempted! You know what makes the most money now? Reselling players makes the most money. It doesn't matter if the economy is bad. There are still so many rich people who are willing to spend money!" Hugo couldn't help but sigh that there are many rich people.

"It may not be impossible for me to do this business, but alas, I don't have a professional management team!" Hugo said.

"It's the same as before. I'm still the chairman, and our team can do this job well!" Le Graet said confidently, "But we can't change players too frequently like before!"

"Just make high-quality products! I don't think there's anything wrong with that!" Hugo said.

"Yes, just make high-quality products! Now I think it's a big mistake to sell Didier!" Le Graet regretted it a little. Guingamp had full ownership of Drogba at the beginning, but Marseille offered 8 million and Le Graet couldn't hold back and sold him. As a result, Drogba went to Chelsea and Marseille and made a lot of money after one season.

Le Graet has made more than one stupid operation in recent years. Of course, this has a lot to do with Hugo's lack of investment. If Hugo is willing to invest a little and withstand the pressure, Le Graet will have the confidence to keep the player and let him continue to increase in value.

In addition to this communication, another focus of Hugo's communication with Le Graet was the European Football Association. He hoped that Le Graet could help get more French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 teams to join the organization. As the vice president of the French Football Association, Le Graet must have his own influence. He could help Hugo and others attract more members. Strength comes from numbers.

…

After the meeting with Le Graet, Hugo quickly called to ask for advice. Everyone thought it was a good idea. First, it would make money, and second, the connection between Guingamp and Trapani should be re-established, so as not to let Pozzo take advantage.

Hugo gradually became determined. He was the one who caught Pozzo in the first place, and now he and Le Graet wanted to kick Pozzo out, which was a bit unkind.

"What's so difficult about this! Just register another company to acquire it!" Morek laughed, "Let's see, just don't let them know."

This was not the first time he had done this, but this time was a little different. Hugo still had some "conscience".

He planned to make it clear to Pozzo, and called Pozzo that night to tell him that he planned to acquire Guingamp in full. Pozzo thought, wow, I was a step behind. I wanted to talk to you about the acquisition, but you came first.

"Why do you want my shares? If you can get Le Graet, you will be the largest shareholder. Wouldn't it be better for us to develop Guingamp together in the future?!" Gino Pozzo said with a smile.
