Chapter 9: The First Pot of Gold
At this time, the time on the TV screen was already injury time, and the French team was playing 10 to 11, and Petit pushed and shot to expand the score for the French team, and the score became 3:0, which means that Hugo won the bet!
The brothers Giovanni and Ricardo stood right in front of the TV, looking at each other, full of shock!
Could Hugo have predicted the prophet?!
With the referee's Said. Berqueira's whistle ended the game, and the host French team defeated the favorite Brazil 3-0 to win the '98 World Cup!
Hugo's whole body seemed to collapse, and he fell on the bed all of a sudden, and when the real result appeared, he was not as nervous and excited as he was just now, but he felt tired, really tired!
Victor had gone crazy, he started jumping at the sight of Petit's goal, and now that the game was over, he was running around the room with his hands held high!
"We're rich! We're rich! We're rich! ”
"Hahaha......"
"I'm sorry, it wasn't us who got rich! It's me who got rich! Hugo lay on the bed and corrected Victor's speech weakly, yes, I made a fortune, and with my foresight, I quickly earned the first pot of gold!
Hmph, that's just the beginning!
Victor was woken up by Hugo's words, yes, he didn't pay a penny, and making money had nothing to do with him!
"I'm a fool! I'm a jerk! ......" Victor slapped himself a few times!
This scared Hugo, Lao Tzu is not crazy yet, you are crazy first!
"Don't harm yourself, okay?! You were asked to take money from your grandfather, but you didn't want to, you see that you didn't even want to pull out a dime of your private money to invest, and now you regret knowing that it's too late! Hum! Hugo rebuked unceremoniously, pretending in front of Lao Tzu, not wanting to share some money!
Sure enough, after hearing this, Victor immediately salivated, sat on the bed, and pleaded: "Brother, my brother has no merit and hard work, running around with you during this time, being instructed by you like a dog, more or less, more or less, you have to give me a little benefit, right?!" ”
Hugo gave him a blank look and didn't speak!
"Hey, you're bored like this, aren't you? Anyway, I'm your brother, don't you deserve something in return for my efforts?! Victor slapped the bed, jumped to his feet, and roared in feigned rage.
Hugo still ignores him!
"The return I'm asking for is not high, I only need 2 million pounds, which is less than a tenth of yours!"
……
"1 million?!"
"Hehe, it's impossible to just give me 500,000, right?! No kidding, saying it will have a big impact on your reputation, and you are so mean to your brother! ”
"Here you go, don't you want it?!" Hugo asked rhetorically.
"Yes! Are you going to give me 500,000?! Victor leaned over and nodded.
"Well, 500,000! I'll give you £500,000, which is your reward for this time! Seriously, is it worth the price for all the work you do?! You should be glad you're my brother, otherwise you wouldn't have any! Hugo said to Victor with disdain.
"Yes, yes, yes! My good brother! I know it's easy! But, brother, I've always been very interested! Victor nodded and bowed, for fear of upsetting Hugo, the 500,000 was gone!
In other words, Victor is very satisfied with 500,000 pounds, quite satisfied, of course, it would be better to get 2 million pounds, he has not had 500,000 pounds so quickly since he was a child!
Hehe, I was going to give you 2 million pounds, but I didn't expect you to drop the price first, isn't that right?! Hugo's heart blossomed!
This money must be given to Victor, as Victor himself said, regardless of merit and hard work, and he originally brought Victor to Hugo to plan to share some benefits with his stunned brother.
Hugo recovered a little bit of vitality, and the two began to talk about how to receive the prize, which London is a strange place, and it is not excluded that there is a life to take money and not to spend money, and when he was worried, Hugo's father called, and he told Hugo that tomorrow they would send someone to London to help them get this huge amount of money back to Italy!
The next day, Ricciardo came with several bodyguards to help the two Hugo brothers claim their prize, and Ricciardo was very curious about why Hugo was able to hit the game accurately.
"Son, can you really be a prophet?!" Ricardo stared at Hugo suspiciously.
Uh, here's it! You can say anything, but you can't say that you are an unpredictable prophet!
"Daddy, what do you think?!"
"I don't know!"
"So let me tell you, am I really betting on you to believe it?!"
"Why would you choose such a gamble?! Such a heavy bet is something that only a madman can do! ”
"Yes, I'm that madman! Do you know?! I'm a genius lunatic! Hugo threw down this sentence!
Ricardo didn't ask any further.
Hugo is crazy to take 5 billion lira to gamble on this matter of Trapani except for the people of the Colini family, others do not know at all, the Colani family does not want their family to have a madman, and now that they have won the lottery, they do not publicize it, China has the habit of not exposing wealth, and Italy also has it.
Italy is a country with serious tax evasion, especially in Sicily, and exposing one's wealth is not a good idea, so Colani's family is restrained by Pasilio from talking about the matter publicly.
In the United Kingdom, there is no need to pay taxes at all to win the lottery, so the money that really goes to Hugo's hands is more than 20 million pounds, and the Italian banks are not trustworthy, Hugo put all the money together in the bank in London, and they also have outlets in Italy, which can also be traded, which is very convenient!
Ricardo was a little upset that Victor only got 500,000, and Hugo said dissatisfiedly: "He just ran errands, and he got such a share of the money, and he was not satisfied?!" ”
"But he's your brother!" Apparently Ricardo and Giovanni had a very good relationship, which is common in Italian families, where they did not split up, the family business had a vague stake, and the choice of successor was usually a family meeting or the elders choosing a reliable person at the helm.
This is especially true for those with underworld backgrounds like the Coleni family, so Ricardo thinks that since he is a brother, Hugo should be generous and shouldn't be so careful!
"What's wrong with my brother?! I have to explain to you that this money belongs to me personally, he does not belong to the family, and I have absolute power to control him! Besides, I'm going to have a lot of money for that! Will be available soon! Hugo said.
He is indeed of great use, and he has already planned how to spend this money in London during this time! And it will be done soon, he guesses he still has time!
His sights are on Google, which will be founded this year, just a few months away, and it goes without saying what Google will look like in the future.
The company was founded as a private joint-stock company, and now is the perfect time to step in. Page and Sergey. Brin was short of money, they were raising money everywhere for the establishment of the company, Hugo felt that he had no reason to refuse if he sent money over!
What's more, with foresight, Hugo can give them forward-looking advice, which will definitely be recognized by them!
Hearing Hugo's words, Ricardo was speechless, after this child escaped death, the whole person became different!
The first stop back home was Milan, since he got a lot of money, Hugo decided to bring some gifts back to his family, this opinion was unanimously agreed by his father Ricardo and Victor, Hugo said to buy some gifts to go back, mainly to express his gratitude to his grandfather Pasilio, this time if it wasn't for the wrong nerves in his grandfather's head, he went crazy with him, and it was obviously impossible to harvest a huge sum of money so quickly!
It's easy to buy gifts for other family members, but it's not easy to buy gifts for grandpa.
"Why don't you think about buying a painting, your grandfather collected a lot of words, well, his favorite contemporary painter right now is Pino. D'Eni! ”
"Really?!" Hugo vs. Pinault. D'Eni has an impression, but this impression does not come from a previous life, but from this life. Colenny!
"And what about me?! Uncle! Victor quickly interjected.
"You, you buy a collar needle for grandpa!" Ricardo smiled and said to his nephew that Hugo's grandfather would use small parts to collar needles almost on formal occasions, and Victor's fortune was obviously not as much as Hugo's, and Victor could just express his heart a little!
The most debatable gift for the whole family is the gift for grandpa, and grandma died many years ago, and Hugo doesn't remember grandma very well!
Other people's gifts were more casual, and Hugo bought a watch for his father on the spot, and Ricardo did not refuse but smiled happily.
"Famous paintings are famous paintings, go to the gallery tomorrow to see, you can always buy them! Hehe, I didn't think our grandfather was still a farmer collector! Hugo thought of the kind, gray-haired old man, who had seen his grandfather work in the fields when he was at home some time ago, and put aside the dress at home, and lived like an old farmer, not a farmer collector!
Back at home in Sicily, of course, the whole family is happy, of course everyone is curious, you Hugo does not go out of the door, football is round, you don't know, uh, this probably still knows, why are you sure you will win.
No matter who asks, Hugo is a sentence, I really guess plus rational analysis, after the baptism of this World Cup, Hugo also dared to say that he understands the ball, without him, whether he liked it before or not, now it is a good study of all kinds of heroes.
He said it out of the blue, and I heard before the game that Ronaldo was not in good shape, France had the advantage of the host, and Brazil stood high and fell miserably.
made his family suspicious of his nonsense, thinking that Hugo was just crazy about money, and he was very lucky, plus rational analysis, so he made a lot of money!
