Chapter 6 How to Make Money
"Hey, didn't you tell me that you made 500 million lira by writing books?!" Victor asked rhetorically.
Ho,, 500 million lira is also rich?! Hugo scolded, this thing is more than 200,000 pounds at most!
Looking back, yo yes! It seems that he can still write, and he can actually earn more than 200,000 pounds! I'm only eighteen years old, which is already very good!
On second thought, how come I don't remember where the money is?!
Fuck, the most important thing right now was that he needed to ask Victor for something, and from the moment he knew he could take advantage of the gambling opportunity, he immediately thought of raising money for a risk-free gamble!
Where the money comes from, it is naturally your own family!
Hugo doesn't know how much money his family has, it seems to be quite powerful, but this is a force with an underworld background, as for the question of money, it is difficult to say whether he is very rich or not.
"Ahem, I'm asking you something serious!"
"Say, I just talked about getting rich, and now you ask me again, what the hell is going on!"
"You're going to interrupt, you're going to have to answer my questions honestly! First, how much money do we really have in our family?! Are you considered rich?! ”
Hugo's first question made Victor stupid, he is a second-rate son who doesn't do his job, he knows what a fart!
He only knew that his family had a lot of business in Trapani, the most important of which was citrus cultivation, as well as olive oil business, and other miscellaneous things, and he really didn't know about money.
"You've been a fool all these years! Ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, they don't even know their own belongings! Hugo looked at Victor full of contempt for Mobby, he was an adult anyway, at least he should know something!
Victor was so sad that he asked, "Don't you know?!" And say me! ”
"I forgot! It's not unclear! Alright, okay, don't talk about it! I'm talking to you about an extremely important issue right now! Hugo said impatiently, "I ask you, can the family come up with 50 billion lira?!" ”
"50 billion lira?!" Victor's eyes widened, it was Moe Bi again, it was not a small amount, he didn't know if the family could take it out.
In fact, this money in the next ten years can only be said to be a drizzle among the rich, and it will only be more than 20 million pounds.
It's just that Victor is so heartless, and he has heard such a huge number since he was a child, and it is really normal to be shocked!
That's a two-hundred-five at all! Looking at his cousin's expression, Hugo was disappointed, he wanted to know the foundation of the family, and then find a way to get the money out, and then devote himself to his gambling career.
Hugo stopped talking, no matter how thick the family is, this money must be made out to get a handful, obviously there is a chance not to make it, this must be stupid, I want a beautiful woman, I don't want Sylvia, I want a luxury car, I want a yacht...... Since you can't go back, let's enjoy a new life!
According to Hugo's memory, the authority to speak in this family is still his grandfather, as for the uncle and father, they only obey orders, so from the perspective of grandpa's attitude towards him, grandpa undoubtedly loves himself very much, which is okay, for example, from being coquettish to impress grandpa.
Uh, Hugo shuddered, damn it!
But that's all there is to do for now!
I thought about it in my heart, the car has arrived at the door of my house!
"Where have you been?! Hey, Victor, why do you have a blue nose and swollen face?! Haha it's fighting outside again! Cousin Alda asked with a grin.
"I fell, nothing!" Victor replied uncomfortably.
"Hahaha...... "The ghost only believed it, Alda gave Victor such a look, and then couldn't help but smile again.
"Oh, you and Gigi ran out, and everyone was looking for you! Grandpa is angry upstairs! Alda gave Victor a "you're going to be unlucky again" look.
Victor's body swayed involuntarily, he was afraid, he was afraid of his grandfather in this family!
Hugo asked, "Grandpa is upstairs?!" ”
"Hmm!"
Hugo didn't say a word, he raised his feet and went upstairs, and Victor followed behind, hoping that Hugo would be able to speak of righteousness and help him withstand his grandfather's thunderous anger.
Pasilio is sitting behind the desk in the study, it is not easy to be the leader of this family, in the early years, this Trapani's native family was not very famous, authentic farmers, it is after many generations of accumulation to have the current prestige, of course, the background of the underworld is very important, until now the small city of Trapani They are still the underground masters, but now the life is not good, the Italian government is hitting the mafia more and more severely, if they don't get out of the underground business, Sooner or later, it will be destroyed, and there are already many families in places such as Palermo, Messina, Catania and other places in Sicily.
Pasilio's life is not easy, he is now trying to move the family business from the improper to the right, what was the most important thing in the Colleni family before, smuggling!
Through smuggling, the Colini family is famous not only in Trapani, but also in the whole of Sicily, but now Pasilio is cutting off the smuggling work, he doesn't dare to stop it, after all, this is a big family, and he especially doesn't want his grandchildren to go down the road of the underworld.
The underworld is not so easy to mix, under his leadership, the Coleni family has also killed people, and has also been assassinated, rules, there are rules for the inside, there are actually no rules for the external gangsters, as long as there is a conflict of interest, everyone dares to use anything!
In the past, Pasilio always wanted to expand his influence in Palermo, but now after the Italian government's crackdown, Pasilio has now withdrawn his hand from Palermo, and he does not dare to go too far.
The Italian government's focus is on a few larger cities in Sicily, which is the focus, and then gradually eradicated, Trapani is just relatively safe for now.
Pasilio thanked God for the blessing of his grandchildren, one of whom was a genius, and he was even more happy and surprised, and even more reluctant to let his grandchildren get involved in the underworld.
Now there is a temporary peace between the gangs in Sicily, and there are many fewer killings of all kinds, but Pasilio is still worried about what will happen to his grandson, for example, a few days ago, it was an accident, people always hope that their children and grandchildren can live healthy and send themselves to the cemetery.
"Maybe I should send them out too!" Pasilio sighed as he sat in his chair.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
"Grandpa, I'm Hugo! Can I come in?! "Hugo knocked on the door of the study!
It turned out that the two little cubs had returned, and Pasilio had a smile on his face, and then said with a pretended seriousness: "Come in!" ”
Victor trembled and followed Hugo into the room, looking at his grandfather with a not very good face, and his heart was pounding.
"Victor!"
"Ahh Victor glanced at his grandfather and quickly lowered his head, he was ready to meet his grandfather's scolding!
"Grandpa, stop scolding Victor! I've been in good health for the past few days, but I'm bored at home and want to go out for a walk, so ......," Hugo immediately explained in advance.
Pasilio saw that his grandson had come back unharmed, and his anger had subsided a lot, and he was even happier that Hugo was still willing to take responsibility for Victor, and the relationship between the two brothers was still as good as before! It seems that he knows that his favorite grandson has forgiven his brother!
"Sit down! I have something to talk to you about! Pasilio let go of the two brothers and waved his hand.
"Oh?! What's going on?! I happen to have something to talk to my grandfather about! "Nothing is as big as making a handful, Hugo doesn't really want to hear what his grandfather says, he only has two words in his mind: "get rich".
"Okay, then let's see what's going on with my genius!" Pasilio didn't care, and leaned back against the backrest with a smile.
Hugo pondered for a moment and asked, "I have a chance to make money!" I'm sure it's a sure win! Would you like to do it?! Grandfather! ”
"Money-making ideas?!" Pasilio looked at Victor with suspicious eyes, yes it was Victor, he thought that the nerd Hugo could have any good ideas, no matter how talented he was, he would write a book, this little grandson didn't know anything about the outside world at all, only Victor wandered around all day, and had some bad ideas.
"Don't look at me like that! Grandfather! I really don't have an idea! It was Jiji who pulled me back in a hurry, saying that he wanted to get rich! Victor looked at his grandfather aggrievedly.
"Oh?! Haha, then listen to your idea, Gigi! Pasilio picked up the wine on the table and drank it easily.
"Bet on the ball!"
"Poof!" Pasilio squirted out without taking a sip of wine, gambling?! What the fuck is this idea!
Bet on the ball! Of course, Pasilio is clear, to be honest, he has also invested in the bookmaker, and he knows very well tomorrow that nine times out of ten the bets are lost, otherwise how can those bookmakers get bigger and bigger, and get richer and richer!
However, now his proud grandson actually said that the opportunity to make a fortune is gambling, how can he not make Pacillio angry and laugh, this is really a crazy idea!
"Gigi, you're not telling me about betting on football and football, are you?!" Pasilio wiped his mouth, still grinning.
"That's right! Bet on football! It's about betting on football! Hugo said firmly.
"Alas, how are you like Victor, not like words! What a chance to bet on the ball! You are not allowed to gamble in the future! Victor! Pasilio also spoke solemnly.
"Hey!" Victor agreed tremblingly, Hugo's bad idea looked like his own trick, because Grandpa knew very well that Hugo didn't play football and didn't understand football at all, so how could he come up with the idea of gambling.
