My name is Colani

Chapter 99 Meeting 2

"How to make money?!" Garlando asked before he thought that his fortune related to football was gambling.

"Betting on football!" Hugo said with a proud smile, "Last summer, I asked my family for 5 million U.S. dollars, and I used all the money to gamble on football. I have never played football or watched football for a day, but I think I could win by myself. During that time, I worked hard to improve my football knowledge and analyze every team participating. Finally, with a little luck, I won that victory! "Hugo! He raised his finger, very proud.

Garlando was amazed. He never thought that Hugo could get money so easily. Then he heard Hugo talk about how he went to the United States to study and relied on his intuition and boldness to start a business with his partners. He joined Google, bought Apple stocks, and then went to China to invest in Internet companies until he established Hugo International Investment Company.

"I may be the person with the most business talent in the world. My investments have always been accurate. So far, I have never failed in my business! My personal wealth is expanding, and my company is growing!" Hugo said with a calm smile. , "But wealth is really easy for me, but I don't care so much! By chance, my brother Victor had a conflict with a player from the original Trapani club, and he asked me if I was interested. Build a new team! In fact, I became interested in football after betting on football. I often watch live broadcasts and recordings of football games in the United States. I am very interested in this matter. This may be my most important thing. Things you care about!" Hugo continued to describe.

"We founded a club called Trapani FC. The purpose of our establishment was to play for ourselves, so I became the head coach and player, and Victor also became a player! But one day Alberto from the amateur committee. Mr. Ricci came to me and told me that the original Trapani club was not far away from bankruptcy and now needed someone to take over. Otherwise, this club with a history of nearly a century in Trapani would be put on the football map of Sicily. Disappear! My grandfather told me that since I like football and have the ability, I should take on the task of revitalizing the team and bringing happiness to the people of Trapani. I identify with him as a hometown person! The concept of doing things, so we later acquired this club that was about to go bankrupt! The two teams merged and became the new Trapani Football Club! "Hugo was not entirely right, but it was almost true.

Garlando thought unknowingly, So that's it, so what does Hugo mean? He is a good young man who has contributed to the local people of Trapani!

"Look, we took over the team and renovated the stadium. I also bought this piece of land and built our training ground here! Come on, Paul, are you interested? Let's go out and have a look!" Hugo greeted Garlando.

Garlando did not refuse, he could just see what this football club is like.

Arriving at the training ground, assistant coach Barrias was leading the players to train on one of the fields.

"Look, our players are mainly locals, but I introduced Luca Toni, Massimiliano Allegri and Carlos Kameni last summer, which made The strength of our team has greatly increased, and we are now able to undergo earth-shaking changes, which has a lot to do with their joining. Of course, we also hired professional coaches and have a professional training venue!" Hugo gestured to introduce himself! team.

Garlando nodded, he had done his homework and he knew all this.

The three people were walking and talking. When they arrived at a building, Hugo pointed and said: "This is the accommodation building for our youth team players! Well, we don't have a single player here yet! We are currently working hard to recruit young players, mainly locals. , but we will be recruiting from all over Italy. General manager Mr. Esposito and transfer director Mr. Celi are now in charge of this matter outside. The youth team coach we invited is ready and I believe he will be dispatched here soon. Come in handy!"

"My purpose in doing this is not just for the development of the team. I also hope that Trapani can be unearthed here and the buried football talents in Sicily can be unearthed. Paul, you know that in the country, we in Sicily are the Football is synonymous with backwardness, but now I want to get Sicily out of this situation. There are no teams from Sicily on the Serie A stage. This is a shame for us Sicilian football people. We want to change our destiny!”

"Of course you also know that Sicily represents all-round economic, cultural and political backwardness. I hope that through the football school, our poor children here can receive a good education, and they can become a football player even if they don't play football in the future. Young people who are knowledgeable and educated should not follow the path of their fathers!" Hugo looked worried.

Morek really wanted to laugh. He knew very well who Hugo was. He just said that he was really good at acting. Maybe he could win an award for Best Male Pig Knuckle at the Venice Film Festival.

But Garlando had a different taste in his ears. It was true that he was a reporter, and it was true that he was not a reporter at the beginning of his career. However, the backwardness of Sicilian football still made him feel a little worried, and he also sympathized with the weak. , when hearing Hugo say that there is not even a Sicilian team among the 18 teams in Serie A, Garlando was still very sad. Sicilian football actually needs the investment of rich men with ability and desire like Hugo. Ah, only by investing in this can football in Sicily rise.

When he heard that Hugo also had the purpose of letting local teenagers learn more cultural knowledge, Hugo's glorious image inevitably grew taller in Garlando's mind, because he knew that certain families were indeed powerful in a certain place. They are huge, but they also have a sense of responsibility. Hugo can benefit his hometown, and it is probably that sense of responsibility that dominates him.

"It's really easy for you!" Garlando sighed.

"Yeah, it's not easy! But I'm quite proud! You see, all my efforts have paid off. We are now first in the group, and we will go to League C in the second half of this year! My plan is to keep the ball The team will be brought to Serie A within a few years, and we will set an example for Sicilian football!" Hugo said proudly, "Let's go, Paul, I will take you to another place!"

Hugo took Garlando's hand unceremoniously and left. Morek followed quickly. He didn't know where Hugo was going to take Garlando.

After getting in the car, Hugo drove northwest until he reached a seaside. Only then did Morek realize that Hugo wanted Garland to go to the seaside land he had won.

"This is?!" Garlando looked at a deserted beach in confusion. The coastline here was extremely irregular, winding, and even lined with strange rocks in some places.

"A few miles down here is San Giuliano Beach, which is our best beach in Trapani. You can enjoy the wonderful sun and waves there! But this will become another Trapani beach in the future. The scenic spots are better than there! Here people can not only enjoy the beach, beautiful women, and sunshine, but also enjoy the most wonderful football and happy shopping!" Hugo said with a mysterious smile.

"What do you mean?!" Garlando had some vague guesses, but he was really not sure.

“I want to build the most modern offshore stadium here, which will become our home stadium in Trapani. In this area, we will build an artificial beach and a commercial center. I want to make this place Trapani. , even our famous attractions in Sicily, attracting tourists from all over the world!" Hugo said in surprise.

Garlando was shocked. This was really unbelievable. How much would it cost? This was his first thought. This would be the pride of the whole of Italy in the future. This was his second thought. And all these wild ideas came from the man in front of him. young people.

How much money does he have? !

"But right now, I don't have sufficient funds, but that day won't be too far away. Maybe I will start building this place in a few years!" Hugo said with a smile.

"I think this will definitely cost a lot of money! It really doesn't happen overnight!" Garlando sighed.

"But it will definitely stand up, I guarantee it will!" Hugo emphasized in a strong tone.

"Yes, I believe it very much!" Garlando looked at Hugo's young face and felt a sense of trust for no reason.

After the three of them walked around, Hugo took Garlando back to the office at the training ground. The team's training had ended, the court was empty, and the training base seemed much quieter.

"Gigi, you've told me so much, it can't be that simple, right?!" Garlando was fed a lot of ecstasy soup, but his mind was still clear, although he admired Hugo from the bottom of his heart and believed what he said. Yes, but he also knew that Hugo would not say all this casually.

"I said I didn't have a certain purpose, then I was too hypocritical! I still want to tell you about our team first. You obviously know it. We performed very well in the first half, leading the second place team. The advantage reached more than ten points, but after the second half, our situation began to become less wonderful! It is undeniable that our playing style was figured out by our opponents, and they adopted more targeted tactics. The attack is not as sharp as before! But this is not the most important reason, I want to say that someone is targeting us!" Hugo said!

Sure enough, there is some shocking news.

"You mean the amateur league?! But why?!" Garlando was suspicious, but then he understood. Maybe Hugo had offended some people. In the Italian football circle, even their reporters can't pry into everything. , and even if he knew about it, he was unable to find out the truth due to various pressures. The original attempt to link Hugo with the Mafia was not because Hugo had no influence and was purely a soft persimmon. ? ! Pinching Galliani? ! Pinch Moratti? ! No matter how brave he is, Garlando also says he doesn’t dare!
