Chapter Sixty-Seven: It's Cool
"I take the liberty of asking, do you have any money?! How much does it cost to build a stadium like this?! Uncle Morek asked.
"No money!" Hugo's answer was crisp and clear.
"I don't have money and I'm so arrogant! There is a limit to bragging! If you want me to say, Gigi, abandon those unrealistic ideas, and I'll give you a piece of land near Pacheco, where you can build a pitch on much better terms than by the sea! Out of kinship, old Morek persuaded that he had taken the land by the sea, and in case the local geological conditions were not suitable for building a large weight of the big guy, Hugo would definitely have lost the money to buy the land.
So he is a turtle, Hugo is a person with a broad vision, the seabed can't bear too heavy, what if you can't build a stadium, as long as you change your thinking, we can build a resort without building a stadium, that must be no problem, he remembers that Dubai can build an artificial island, why he can't, of course it's okay, the money must be able to come back in short, the solution is thought of by people, Hugo is categorically not going to lose money.
"Or else! You give me two plots of land, and you sell me the land near Pacheco, and I want the land by the sea!" Hugo said.
"Well, okay, I'll think of a way for you, both of these plots of land can be given to you! What place do you want by the sea?! Old Morek asked, there is a public beach in Trapani, the northwest of the city, but this one must not be given to Hugo, otherwise he will be scolded by the citizens and even the provincial councillors, this public beach is a good place to bask in the sun, and it is also one of the sources of tax revenue for the town hall of Trapani.
"I wouldn't want San Giuliano beach! I want them to go north, about two miles to the seaside! Hugo laughed at Morek's doubts.
"The venue is in terrible condition!" Morek frowned, two miles up, no longer as good as San Giuliano, with solid rocks and uneven and regular fields.
"What's wrong with that?! I'm going to wipe out all the mountains and seas in that place, and I'm going to build a 2-mile man-made beach there, and then I'm going to build the ballpark! Hugo said.
"Crazy!"
"What's crazy about this, isn't there much to do in the world that moves mountains and seas?! It's just that you haven't heard of it yourself, but it takes a lot of money! I'm sure I can do it! Hugo laughed.
"Leave it all to you! Whatever you want! I persuaded you anyway! "Old Morek had a look on his face that you were going to die, what could I do.
Back home, Hugo's mood was very happy, he hummed the Chinese song "The sky is so bright, the earth is so wide, the love is so rippling, the heart is so wave, the song is so melodious, the song is so crazy, everything is painful, today I am happy!" ”
It's beautiful to think about, old Morek doesn't know the future, and Hugo doesn't know the future, but now that a series of bills to revive Trapani's economy have been passed, then Trapani's future is undoubtedly bright, what?! Economic crisis?! That's a piece of! The direction of Trapani is as a future tourist city, a new type of small town with science and technology in the future, the ancient and the modern overlap, Hugo from later generations knew that many small towns like Trapani were very popular in tourism, why Trapani did not fire, or because the environment was too poor, now it is different, Hugo's plan for the old Morek is to "have fewer children and more trees!" "Trapani is a city of seaside garden tourism that attracts not only Italians, but most importantly the world.
Of course, the source of Hugo's self-confidence is not only some phenomena in later generations, he also has ambition, this ambition is Trapani Football Club, he wants to build Trapani into a team as good as the Three Bears of the North, or even better than them, and he is afraid that fans will not come to watch the game in the future, and the stadium will be built well, which can also attract fans from afar to consume, which is Hugo's calculation.
Of course, there is one most important thing, Hugo did not reveal it to his uncle, in fact, Hugo will follow the idea of making a fortune to benefit one party, and all the companies under his name will be registered in Trapani, and the family will do the same, Hugo hopes to use the city of Turin as a template, the city of Turin is called the city of automobiles, behind which is the Agnelli family consortium to support here, Hugo believes that in the future, Trapani can also do better, with the support of the Colini family, who has strong funds.
"Hey, what's that song in your mouth?! It's ugly! A female voice rang in Hugo's ears.
"Anyway......, ah, Sylvia, why are you here?!" When Hugo found out that it was a woman, he immediately stopped scolding, and then saw that it was Sylvia, and blurted out a question.
"Why can't I be here, it's not like I haven't been here!" Sylvia said strangely.
Sylvia comes to Hugo's house a bit more often now, so Hugo's question seems silly to Sylvia.
"I'm not, that's what I mean, I mean why are you here today! Come here again to eat?! The little girl should be kind, my mother's pie is not eaten for nothing! Hugo teased with a grin.
"Rice?! Does that have to count me too?! "A man appeared in front of two people.
"Ah, Mr. Siglino! You're here, of course, not for the sake of rice, and I'll welcome you with the highest specifications! Hugo took the initiative to stick it, and the two kissed and touched their faces, Siglino is a good friend of Hugo's uncle and father, and is Hugo's elder, Hugo's joke is of course okay, but words must be respected by the occasion.
"Alright, Gigi, wash your hands! Everyone is waiting in the living room, ready to eat! At this time, Hugo's mother, Leda, came out of the kitchen and saw her son and said.
Hugo heard the noise in the living room, and it seemed that everyone was having a good time.
After washing his hands, Hugo came to the restaurant, the family was there, chatting while eating, family-style gatherings, Kameni also sat stupidly next to him and listened, but he couldn't understand at all, no wonder, people here speak the Sicilian dialect, which is different from Hugo's Italian, plus how long he has been here, it's normal to not understand.
Hugo was teaching Kameni by hand, and then he went on a business trip and finally found a teacher for Kameni, but this teacher is not of high level, that is, Kameni's middle school teacher, in fact, the French is very reluctant, and Kameni's progress is not fast.
After Hugo came back, he had to start taking time to give Kameni lessons again, of course, at least at this stage Hugo was very laid-back, walking around the training base, watching the game on the bench, pretending to be in front of the players, and then there was much less activity in the evening, Victor liked to go to parties and make cuties, Hugo didn't seem to be very interested, sometimes he went, more often he was with Allegri, drinking, going to Giorgio's for coffee, teaching Kameni lessons!
Hugo soon joined in the heated discussion, most of the time he was talking, telling the people present that he had been given two plots of land, and when he said what he thought, Ricardo really thought that his son was stupid, and how much money it would cost to get things done.
Hugo began to tell everyone about his idea of building Trapani, grandpa Pasilio really didn't expect his grandson to be so big, the family power behind a city, how powerful is that family, the Agnelli family has a name in Italy "commoner royal family", and it has a great influence on Italian politics and economy.
And what Hugo is telling you now is that we can, we can't reach that level in industry, but in Trapani, in Sicily, we can do more.
How to do Hugo in the future is only a rough idea, how to do it in the real sense, you have to plan and consider step by step, now it is not clear in a few words, but grandpa Pasilio and the two fathers both said that in fact, the family has been working hard to feed a lot of locals, Hugo's idea is good, it is to make the family proud, but do you know that our family does not have so much money to smash.
"Alas, I said grandpa, do you say I'm rich?! I don't have any, but we can earn it! Times are different now, and it is not impossible to dare to venture and borrow money from banks! Hugo said.
That's what he said to his family, but in fact, Hugo doesn't need to borrow money to make money, for example, he bet on the 98 World Cup, and in two years it will be the 2002 World Cup, and Hugo has to get a vote.
The stakes are high, and Grandpa Pasilio says that he should think carefully, and this topic can only end there.
Everyone talked about the team again, and Giovanni joked: "Look at it, Victor actually has a team that wants him, I guess there are still some players in your team who are at risk of being poached, haha, it's the winter break soon, you kid still take a good look at your players!" ”
Giovanni is just joking, but the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, this Nima is ah, will you run a few during the winter break?! Hugo thought.
"If you run stupidly, if we give them such a high salary, I don't believe that any Italian team can give us such a high salary!" Victor said that he was telling the truth, even if Trapani's salary is very high, the players may not have that kind of mind.
"Who said that the team of Serie Ding poached you, if it was a team of Serie B, or even a team of Serie A!" Giovanni said deliberately.
"Haha, Dad, unless people are stupid to come here to pick players!" Victor laughed.
But it's stupid for him, he doesn't understand the situation himself, in fact, many games in Italy are played by scouts to watch the game, and most of the players in Italy have no agent, they can't support themselves, why do you need an agent, this kind of player had better be convinced.
Scouts have found a good seedling, which can bring a lot of extra money!
This year's Trapani record is very good, Allegri is an old fritter, no matter how good he is, he is old, the scouts will not know him, but Toni and Kameni are different, they are both young, Kameni has not even appeared in Italy, will it attract the attention of scouts, the answer is yes.
