Chapter Ninety-Eight: Meeting 1
"Tuk Tuk!" The door to the room is opened.
"Are you?!" Paul. Garlando asked suspiciously, as he opened the door and looked at a smiling face outside.
"Ah, hello! My name is Fabio. Costa, you're Paul. Mr. Garlando, right?! "Fabio. Costa warmly greeted him with his hand.
"Yes, I am! May I ask who you are?! "Garlando politely stretched out his hand, do I know you?!
"I'm the head of security at Trapani FC! I have been assigned by Mr. Collaney to meet you at our headquarters! I wonder if Mr. Garlando is convenient?! "Fabio. Costa was still smiling, and there was no compulsion in his words.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you guys to be really well-informed, I just came here for less than a day!" Garlando sneered.
"Actually, it's not that we're well-informed! It's because Trapani is too small! "Fabio. Costa touched his head and said, "So is Mr. Garlando free?!" ”
"Of course, I'm going to sit with you sooner or later! Why not now?! Garlando regained his composure, he did intend to meet that Gian Luigi sooner or later. Pasilio. Colani.
Many people see Sicily as a tiger's den, but for some people, it is not, for example, a journalist who desperately wants to get to the bottom of it, and now the Italian government has been cracking down on the underworld forces in Sicily since the 90s, and the identity of a journalist like Garlando is a talisman, so he is not afraid to come here at all, if it is really Colleni who is evil, then he should be very smart not to choose to do anything to him.
Hugo, of course, would not have done anything to Garlando, and Napolino informed him that there was a man named Paul. The Gallantor reporter came to Trapani and Hugo quickly figured out the background of Gallando, a very well-known football journalist who worked for the newspaper Sport Milano.
Newspaper della Sport Milano is the most widely circulated sports newspaper in Italy, but its audience is mainly in the north, and they are also famous in the south, but not as loudly as in the north.
The arrival of Garlando gave Hugo the idea of making full use of this pen, and he always wanted to play against Tavicio in public opinion, but there was no way out in the press, and now this was not the opportunity to send it to the door, Hugo decided to try to make Garlando for his own use, and even to make Garlando the mouthpiece of Trapani in the future.
Garlando followed Costa to the training base, during which time Giorgio and Sailly were not there, they were in charge of recruiting academy players outside, poaching everywhere, they were not there when the referee incident happened, Hugo didn't let them come back, just to put them at ease and he would deal with the whole thing.
So the big and small affairs of the team are basically Hugo alone, and Morek has returned from Palermo in the past two days and can be regarded as his helper.
Victor?! Victor is useless, he can only do the work of pouring tea and water, and his main job is still to be a player.
In order to be close to the team, Hugo has been staying at the training base for the past few days.
"You?! You are Ji'an Luigi. Colleni?! When he saw the young Hugo, Garlando couldn't help but wonder that he was too young, although he knew that Hugo was less than 20 years old.
Fashionable parted head, chestnut hair, very casual dress, a jacket and shirt, jeans underneath, and a pair of canvas shoes on the feet.
He doesn't look like a successful person, but like the sunshine boy next door.
"I know my youth shocked you, but I'm really not used to your shock!" Hugo smiled wryly and stretched out his hand, "Hello! Mr. Garlando, I'm Gian Luigi. Pasilio. Colini, this is my cousin Alessandro. Morek, who is the team's deputy general manager, is our general manager, Giorgio. Esposito and Leonardo. Sailly went on a business trip and the club's president, Victor. Colleni, well, just outside on the training ground, he's also the heart of the team's defence, basically I'm taking care of the team's affairs! ”
"I know, you're still the head coach and player, right?!" Garlando, infected by Hugo's casual infection, reached out and shook Hugo's hand and laughed.
"Yes, I'll tell you a secret, I don't play much! I don't command the game very much, I've been put off by my coaches! Hugo whispered, joking.
"Hahaha!" The two erupted in laughter, and Morek came up to introduce himself and shook Garlando's hand.
"Please be seated, because I am a young man, there are no taboos in my place, they are all casual! My staff and the players on the team are like that, they all call me Gigi or Hugo, you can call me that! So can I call you Paul?! You look like you're only in your 20s, and you're young! Hugo said.
Can I say no?! Garlando certainly can't say no because of politeness.
"In fact, I'm in my thirties!" Garlando shrugged and sat across from his desk, as Hugo had said.
It was casual, with Morek leaning on the edge of the windowsill and Hugo leaning back in the comfortable-looking boss's chair.
"Tea or coffee?! I don't have any good coffee here, but I do have the best black tea from Wuyi Mountain, China, Zhengshan Xiaozhong! This is something I brought back from a trip to China last year, well, it tastes good! Hugo suggested.
"I'd better choose coffee!" Garlando smiled and shook his head to make a choice, the coffee could refresh him and let him deal with the young Mr. Colani, from the meeting until now, Garlando's intuition was that this young man was far from being as simple as it seemed.
When Morek heard this, he turned around and went out to make coffee himself, while Hugo sat up straight and began to talk to Garlando.
"Paul, you've been here for a day, haven't you?! What do you see here?! Hugo laughed.
I know what Hugo is asking.
"A very different conclusion! This time, I think you're going to have to fight the amateur league! Garlando said with a smile.
"Yes, definitely in the ring! If they deal with it unfairly, I will get the best lawyer, and I will go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport with the Amateur Federation again, and if I lose, I will continue, and I will appeal to the Olympic Committee, and if it doesn't work, I will appeal to the Administrative Court, and we will see who will have the last laugh! Because there's only one truth, and I can't stop if I don't get what I want! Hugo said calmly, "Don't look at them being the first to be exposed now and make my team stink, but who will stink in the future, I have the foresight to say that they are!" ”
The tone was light, but Garlando heard that Hugo was very resolute, could it be that this matter of the amateur league is really one-sided?! Not only did he deeply doubt Hugo's detention of the referee team.
"Do you want to hear my story?!" Hugo asked abruptly abruptly abruptly.
Curious! Very curious! Hearing is always heard, and legends are legends! Gallando inevitably wanted to hear the story of Hugo, how such a young man, who was not weak at a young age, how he became a rich man, the owner of a team, whether it was his family background or his own efforts, it is a mystery.
"Of course, you know that I am a journalist, and that journalists have a fundamental nature, and in fact, my plan to come here was to have an interview with you! I think you're an incredible character! Garlando smiled.
"My family has been in Trapani for hundreds of years, and to be honest, my family used to inevitably have something black, but now they are serious businessmen! Of course, you can doubt it, it's not something I can control! Hugo stood up and spoke slowly.
"I've been very smart since I was a child, I'm called Hugo of Trapani by the people here, the smartest guy, I didn't go to school, I had a tutor at home, I knew a few foreign languages, I was a student at Stanford University, and the reason for it was because I was planning to start my own company and didn't have time for my studies! I think I'm one of the few smart people in the world! Hugo said proudly.
Underworld background?! Garlando didn't expect Hugo to admit it straightforwardly, without concealing it, and Garlando's various glories of Hugo later also heard about it.
"You know how I started my business?! How did you take over this team?! Hugo asked, turning his head to Garlando.
Morek brought the coffee that Garlando wanted to drink at this time, Garlando did not answer, but said thank you to Morek, and then took a sip of coffee, which did not taste very good, Garlando frowned.
"Haha, I told you we don't have good coffee here!" Hugo teased.
"It doesn't matter! As long as I can drink it, I want to cheer up and deal with you! You don't tell me this for no reason! Garlando said bluntly.
"You're also a smart guy! It's always a joy to deal with smart! Hugo did not deny it, "So do you want to listen to it?!" ”
Garlando nodded.
"My history has a lot to do with football! I lived in seclusion until I was eighteen years old, rarely going out, I focused on reading, self-study, and writing literature, and you know I wrote two best-selling books, right?! My goal at that time was to become a writer like Hugo, which is how I got my nickname Hugo! But last year, something happened to me, when my brother Victor took me out to sea, I drowned and almost died, and when I woke up, I thought maybe I should live a different way of life in my life! So I want to make a lot of money and enjoy the highest quality of life, so I want to make money! Guess what, how do I make money?! Hugo smiled mysteriously.
Morek wants to laugh, how to make money?! Bet on the ball! He already knew that Hugo had made his fortune from gambling.
