Chapter 50: My brother is short of money to spend

"I understand this point, but I really don't know what kind of city Trapani will become in the future, or I don't know what I expect to be able to build the city into!" Old Morek said very sincerely.

Alas, my uncle said that he was just a hillbilly, but Hugo was no longer surprised, he had been to Naples, which was a big city in the south, but the appearance of the city was not generally bad, and the environment was not good at all, compared to many small and medium-sized cities in China in the previous life, which were striving to create civilized cities, the cities in southern Italy were obviously far behind.

This is different from the north, Milan, Turin and other northern cities are much cleaner and tidier than southern cities, this is only one of the aspects, for example, Turin, is the base camp of the Fiat Group, is the Motor City, Milan is the international fashion capital, the political center of Rome in the country, and the cities in southern Italy do not have any significant characteristics, and it is difficult to make any characteristics in poor places.

Italy is a member of the European Union, but the economy still seems to be dominated by homework, in other words, you can see a lot of century-old stores and centuries-old brands in Italy, but few companies have always become bigger and stronger.

Trapani is located near Palermo, the largest city in Sicily is Palermo, and the largest port is also Palermo.

"Do you know China?!" Hugo asked.

"China, of course you know, don't you and Victor speak Chinese?! What's the matter, you can't tell me we still need to learn from them, do you?! "The elder Morek is certainly not familiar with China, and he has the impression that China is synonymous with backwardness.

"You're right! You really have to learn from others! Hugo pouted and said, "China is not as backward as you think!" Especially when it comes to city building! ”

In his previous life, at least in the years when Hugo returned to China to live, he went to many domestic cities, especially tourist cities, and the environment was very good, this is because of the efforts of these cities, Trapani wants to build well, why not learn from the experience of others.

"Don't you know the location of the city?! I can tell you this, learn from some coastal cities in China, which are neither industrial centers nor science and technology centers, but their urban construction is also excellent, and the living standards of the people are also very good, because they are well positioned and do nothing, so they define their cities as tourist cities, specializing in receiving domestic and foreign tourists! This is the result of Hugo's reflection for a few minutes, Trapani, with its harbor and beaches, why can't it be a tourist city, no matter how big it is, at least it can attract tourists to spend money.

"Haha," laughed old Morek, "Gigi, you joke with your uncle, what's worth seeing in this place?!" Also tourist city, who the stupid to come here! ”

"Hahaha," Hugo smirked three times and shook his head, "Alas, uncle, uncle! As juniors, we're embarrassed to say that your head is a wooden head! No?! Who says no?! There are hundreds of years of history of small streets and old shops, there are ports, you can enjoy the Mediterranean sun, sandy beaches, beautiful women, do a good job here is a perfect combination of classical and modern tourist resorts, why not?! ”

Hugo is not nonsense, old Morek was dumb when he heard it, he didn't think about it that much, it seems that there is indeed something here, but thinking about the situation, he still thinks it is too difficult.

"It's hard to attract customers! What are you afraid of, spend money to repair it, the old shop and the old street will be rejuvenated! Well, I'll give you a few suggestions! Hugo didn't think it was difficult, of course he also knew that the city hall was poor, but there was a way to attract foreign investment, and it didn't have to be paid locally.

"I know what you're worried about, you have to tell me that the city hall has no money, I can understand this, after all, we are poor here." Hugo said.

It's not because of the ...... that there is no money Because some families took the lead in leading by example, evading taxes, the city hall was naturally poor, and the elder Morek was of course not good at saying this, saying that the construction company that his own son took over was still evading taxes.

"First, we don't have money, we can attract foreign investment, Chinese are engaged in reform and opening up, why can't we here!" The city hall can give them preferential policies, and special tax concessions can make people willing to invest here! ”

"Second, create a good investment environment, crack down on underworld forces, and create a good social security environment! Ensure the personal safety and interests of investors! ”

As soon as Hugo finished saying this, old Morek looked at him, good guy, our family is the biggest underworld force, well, according to some politicians.

"Uncle, what do you mean by your eyes?! Our family is a serious businessman now, and besides, how can we be a traitor now?! If you can persuade the council to agree to increase the management of public security issues, I think the family will definitely help, because the times are different now, we can't keep to the old way, and making money is the most important! Hugo said with a guarantee.

……

In all directions, Hugo explained to the elder Morek in detail what he had seen and heard in his previous life, and some measures to promote local development.

"So many?! It seems that it is not easy to do this job well! Almost all of this needs to be approved by the city council, and I don't know if they will agree to it! Old Morek flinched when he knew the workload.

"It's not something I can help you with, and I dare say that the town hall really does what I say, and it will pay off! Trapani can't go with the flow, Sicily is poor, it doesn't mean that we Trapani should continue to sink, being an official doesn't make decisions for the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes! Hugo teased.

"In addition, I will tell you another good news, it is a friendship investment, if you are really willing to talk about the city council and carry out the reform of Trapani, I am willing to register my own investment company in Trapani, and say that the family will also register the family business investment company in Trapani, I can tell you, hehe, we are doing big investment and big business, and you will know how good it is for Trapani's finances in the future." At this time, Hugo doesn't mind making less money and being an honest taxpayer.

"Okay, I'll give it a try! It's not easy to move that group of hillbillies! We have to give them a benefit! Old Morek said as he disturbed the bare head.

"Well, that's all I can say! See for yourself, uncle! I'm going to the U.S. and won't be back for a long time, hopefully the town hall will already be in action when I get back! Alas, how to say it, I am also from Trapani, and I also hope that my hometown is good, and the people of my hometown are good! Hugo stood up and said goodbye, "But then again, uncle, your thinking is not correct, if you want to go further, the most important thing is to go to Rome for a walk, I mean you know, here, haha, no matter how good you do, I don't think it's useless, look at Berlusconi, that old guy can be prime minister, what do you rely on?!" Let's think about it! ”

The reluctance to get involved in politics does not mean that Hugo does not understand.

After supporting his uncle, Hugo hurriedly embarked on the journey to the United States, this time he not only planned to stay in the United States for a period of time, focusing on accompanying Messi's father and son to solve Messi's medical problems, but also planned to go back to China.

Hugo first went to Silicon Valley to meet with his two partners, and Hugo not only asked them if they were interested in buying a part of his shares, but also talked to them about the future development of Google.

Hugo is also hiding his selfishness, he plans to set up an Android company in the future, and the Android system is an important part of Google's future development, but now he has no such plans, according to Hugo's theory, it is best to follow the direction and time of the previous life, so that he can grasp the advantage of foresight, so he is not in a hurry.

Bryn and Page didn't have the money to buy the shares that Hugo wanted to sell, and Hugo knew that when he saw Alda, he suddenly remembered his family, why?! Why don't you let your family buy this part of the shares, at least the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, what's wrong!

"Ever heard of Google?!" Hugo asked his sister with a smile.

"Why haven't you heard of it?! That's what I use a lot in school now! Gigi, I didn't expect you to be so famous in the United States! Not long after I came here, the Italian classmates I met were all talking about you! "How could Alda not have heard that Hugo's key promotion was the university.

Alda attended Harvard Business School, which is of course also in the focus of publicity.

"Really?! I don't care, a name isn't what I need! Hugo said calmly.

"I know, you know how to make money!" Alda teased.

"Now I'm down to business, and while I know you can't call the shots, I want to talk to you and see what your options are! Brother, I've been short of money lately, so I want to sell a part of my stake in Google, which accounts for 10% of Google's equity, and I want to sell it for $30 million, are you interested in taking over?! If you were in charge of the money of the Colleni family! Hugo said.

"$30 million?! It's only been a year and you're going to sell some of your shares?! ”

"Yes, $30 million! Didn't I tell you?! I'm short of money, I have to raise a club, and I have to do some other projects, so I want to sell some of my shares, although I'm reluctant! Hugo said pitifully.
