Chapter 34: This Is How Sponsorship Is Demanded (2)
Pasilio embarrassedly asks his grandson for advice on what futures are?! Hugo was speechless for a while, patiently and meticulously starting from stocks, and then talking about futures, such a thing for a senior intellectual of later generations, in general, can understand a little bit, at least can understand a little superficial, Hugo must not know too much about deep things, in general, he can still let grandpa understand what is going on.
"We've never made this thing before?! No, we have to wait for your dad and them to come back, let's discuss it together, of course, I have made it clear that I will definitely support your idea, so you don't have to worry about anything, let's talk together mainly to see how to operate, listen to what you mean, we need a lot of money, but also hold it for a long time! Pasilio said.
That's right, that's what it means, I don't want to stir up volatility in the futures market.
Hugo's father, Ricardo, and his uncle, Giovanni, did not return home until ten o'clock in the evening, and when the family meeting was in full swing, Hugo suggested that Alda come over and listen to it together.
"Why am I optimistic about oil futures, is my own analysis from the current political situation, no matter what the reason, the United States will launch a war against Iraq in the future, this war will definitely cause large fluctuations in oil......" crackling, Hugo said shaking his head, the head is the way, the family from not understanding to a little understanding, anyway, is to tell everyone to do this thing to make a lot of money.
"You mean we're going to get out of some industrial projects?!" Ricardo asked.
"Needless to say, sure, doing business to make money is relatively slow! For example, I know that our family is still in the citrus business, so don't do it, and grow some citrus and eat it yourself! This part of the business can be given to people close to us, and the money can be invested in the oil futures business! Hugo made an analogy.
What do the people of this place in Sicily say?! I have to mention the gap between the north and the south again, the development of the north and the south of Italy is extremely unbalanced, and there are many reasons, in short, the south is poor and the north is rich, obviously the consequence of this is that the southerners are more illiterate, and the Sicilians are even more so, you must know that in Naples, the group of Neapolitans also looks down on the Sicilians from the island.
Illiterate is not knowledgeable, the horizon is not broad enough, so the way to get rich is also relatively dead, Hugo's explanation can be regarded as an eye-opener for the elders of the family, and cousin Alda is full of admiration for his brother, worthy of being a smart person in our family, this brain is good.
"Gigi, according to what you mean, we have to invest a lot of money, how much is this money?!" Uncle Giovanni asked.
"I don't think we can be less than that!" Hugo firmly gestured a finger!
"100 million?! Dollar?! Euros?!" Pasilio's face seemed unfazed.
"Dollars and euros are fine, but not lira!" Hugo nodded.
"Do you know how much money is at home?! How can we possibly make up this amount?! Ricardo jumped up and shouted, 100 million is too much!
Hugo didn't know how much money the family had, but he thought that last year, his grandfather didn't hesitate to give him $5 million, and the family's potential was huge!
He guessed correctly, the family can indeed come up with 100 million funds, but this is almost emptying the family, but the reason why the Colleni family can be called a family is not really only the Colini family.
Speaking of which, Hugo didn't know that the family had to support not this family!
Pasilio shook his head with a wry smile, this grandson is good at everything, he just likes the lion to open his mouth, and it is millions of dollars at every turn, and now it is hundreds of millions, he trusts his grandson, but the money is not so easy to take out.
Ricardo and Giovanni didn't want to explain so much to Hugo, they both knew why the family couldn't completely quit the business to engage in such a business, knowing that it couldn't make money!
Worry! The whole family is worried! Only Hugo and Alda are not worried.
"That's it! Gigi, you said 100 million dollars! We don't have that possibility, I can say we can come up with $70 million! Okay?! As if he had made up his mind, Pasilio stood up and spoke.
"Daddy......" Ricardo and Giovanni whispered in unison, this is impossible, it is simply impossible, are we really going to abandon our brothers who follow us together, and we want to abandon the people of Trapani's hometown?!
Pasilio waved his hand, "Not what you think!" To be honest, over the years of doing business, I have been preparing reserves in case of emergency, all the family funds are 50 million US dollars, of course it may be higher, I have reserved some paintings, and gold, these are worth about 50 million, I was worried that the family would be hit by some people and decay, so I prepared this money, I can't leave nothing for you, right?! โ
"Uh......" To be honest, everyone didn't expect that grandpa actually had this hand, which is called a back hand, the practice of smart people.
"Ricardo, Giovanni, we must give up some of the business, but we can't leave the family in charge, in short, try our best to scrape together 20 million US dollars and hand it over to Hugo!" Pasilio commanded.
Ricardo and Giovanni breathed a sigh of relief, and it was difficult to withdraw $20 million from the family, but it was not too difficult.
"Don't give me the money! Sooner or later, Alda will take over the family business, and she is about to go to the United States to study, so I think she will be in charge of the funds! Hugo said indifferently at all, 70 million US dollars is lower than his expectations, he is not saying that he really has to be more than 100 million, but just to make more money, if the family can invest 10 billion, that is the happiest, 70 million is just a little less, this money can become hundreds of millions in a few years, and it will definitely surpass the current industrial value in the future.
Alda was terrified, the elders of the family were dumbfounded, everyone didn't know that Hugo's brain was so long, do you think everyone is you?! Alda is so young, she doesn't know anything, and she is a hillbilly when she arrives in the United States, it would be good if she could stick to her studies and do such a thing that would determine the fate of her family.
Ignoring Alda at all, he stood in the study clearly, and the three elders all expressed their opposition, strong opposition.
"Don't dare to let Alda practice with this little money?!" Hugo pouted, "Okay, okay, since you don't want to, then your father or uncle can go over, but no matter what, you have to give Alda $10 million to practice, this is the meaning of my letting Alda attend today's meeting, if she can be familiar with this market, it will be very beneficial to her!" โ
"Gigi, what you keep your mouth open and shut all day is hundreds of billions, how much money do you have?! It's like you're the richest man in Italy! Uncle Giovanni snorted dissatisfiedly.
"For now, it's no problem for me to have a net worth of 100 million! Ten years later, my net worth of tens of billions will be no problem, and twenty years later, my worth of 100 billion will be no problem, and the money you discussed will have no meaning in my eyes, uncle! Hugo was unashamed.
"Haha!" Pasilio couldn't help but laugh, he drowned once, and he felt that his grandson was about to become a Nietzschean madman.
Then he couldn't help but joke: "Yes, the money we discussed is meaningless in your eyes, who asked me to sponsor it today?!" It's only a million dollars! โ
Ricardo and Giovanni didn't know about it yet, and Grandpa took the initiative to talk about Hugo's afternoon.
Alda also laughed at Hugo when he heard it, and he knew that he was bragging!
"Alas, my money is not spare money! You'll find out if it's bragging! Anyway, today's deal, grandpa, you've made a lot of money! With a million dollars, you've definitely made a lot of money! I'm telling you, in 10 years, anyone who wants to sponsor my team will pay a million dollars?! No! I won't pay any attention to him! Hugo said in a big way.
"Okay, the deal is done! Grandpa, it's time for you to make good on your promise, right?! As if juggling, Hugo pulled out the contract he had drawn up.
"Five years?!" Grandpa looked at the terms of the contract, and the sponsorship period was five years.
"Yes, five years!"
"Five years, that's not 5 million dollars?!"
"That's right!"
"I was talking about buying your idea for $1 million!" Grandpa smiled and put away the pen that was about to be signed.
"Grandpa, what you say doesn't count, you're cheating!" Hugo is in a hurry, but you're also an old person, don't be like this, okay?!
Everyone could see that the smiling grandfather was deliberately playing tricks on Hugo, but everyone just laughed, watching the grandfather and grandson bargain and grind and chirp, and the grandfather finally signed his name!
"Grandpa, you won't regret today's deal!" Hugo put away the contract and said triumphantly.
"You've already said it!"
"No, I'm talking about something else! I mean, it's a good deal, because in five years, it's going to go from a million dollars to five million dollars! You said that you signed a five-year contract in one go, did you earn it! I'm for your good! Hugo said shamelessly.
The family laughed again, this kid!
Allegri is not busy, not busy, a few days ago Giorgio made him a part-time coach, let him do what training plan, the training content of the season, Allegri only began to be unenlightened, how to do this, after all, this group of players is not a professional player, it is completely fucking amateur level, and training with a professional team is a different thing, Allegri has no idea at all.
He couldn't figure out whether this team should focus on technical and tactical training, basic training, or physical training before the season, they were in this group, there were still 18 teams, and they had to play more than forty or fifty games a season, including the amateur cup.
As the name suggests, the Amateur Cup is the highest honour for amateur teams, and teams like them cannot compete in the C Cup and Coppa Italia, unlike the FA Cup in England.
