Chapter 170 Life Is Full of Learning

If the home stadium is really moved to Palermo, not only will the City Hall be happy, but even the Palermo Club will definitely applaud. No one in this world is stupid.

Palermo Football Club will definitely be happy to have a team to share the rental fee with them, and the City Hall will definitely hope to increase the rental fee a little.

Palermo's current financial situation is very difficult. Unless they are stupid, they will not let Trapani go to Palermo. They can negotiate with Trapani and each pay half of the rental fee to rent the La Favorita Stadium. Of course, the City Hall will definitely increase the rental fee when they see that there are two teams.

"Will Trapani fans agree with you if you do this?!" Allegri felt sorry for the local fans.

"They don't agree?! Okay! Donate money to the club, I don't have to ask the City Hall for funds!" Hugo spread his hands and smiled.

"Oh, by the way, Uncle, you just reminded me again. I found a good way to attract members! In the future, if the home stadium is really set in Palermo, the club can send cars to pick up the team's member fans, and non-members can only go to Palermo by themselves! Tell me, will this attract more members?!" Hugo laughed.

Allegri smiled bitterly and gave a thumbs up. You are really good. You are worthy of being a businessman. You can think of this method!

La Favorita Stadium is definitely up to the requirements. This stadium was built very early, but in 1990, Italy hosted the World Cup and renovated the stadium. It can accommodate nearly 40,000 fans. If Hugo's free pick-up trick is used, it may really attract many member fans.

Trapani is not far from Palermo. It only takes a few dozen minutes to get there by car. Fans are not traveling long distances. If they can take a free car, why can't they go to watch the game on weekends? !

The players went home, but Trapani's management just started to get busy. Victor transferred to Milan, and the club immediately held a shareholders' meeting. In fact, the club has always had three shareholders, Hugo, Victor, and Moreke. Moreke was easy to talk to, and he invested neither too much nor too little money. Victor invested his own pocket money at first, and he became the chairman. Now he is gone, and Hugo has decided to be the chairman of the club himself.

At the shareholders' meeting, Hugo announced the establishment of a board of directors. Seli, Victor, Giorgio, and Moreke all became directors. Hugo was the chairman of the board, Moreke was the vice chairman, Giorgio was the general manager, and Seli was the director and the head of the team's transfer department.

It was not so formal before. This is just imitating Milan.

Milan is also very ruthless. Victor signed a five-year contract with Galliani at the Milan headquarters at 3 Turati Street. However, Milan posted the news of Victor's transfer on its official website, and posted a photo of Victor holding the No. 45 jersey, without revealing the transfer fee at all.

Afterwards, Milan did not reveal a single word to the media, and the transfer fee of Victor is a complete mystery.

"This old guy is not trustworthy! If he doesn't tell us, how can we scare the team that poached him!" Hugo seemed very angry in the office.

"If he doesn't tell us, can't we tell him?! Gigi, you are being too stubborn!" Selli laughed.

"In addition, I can tell you why they are keeping silent!" Selli said mysteriously.

"Why?! For us, of course, we have made a lot of money, and such a price can indeed deter other teams to a certain extent! But think about it, for Milan, a player from League C2 has cost them 5 million euros, so what about other players?! Don't forget that they will definitely make big moves in the transfer market this summer!" Seli blinked.

Hugo immediately understood that Galliani was also afraid of being ripped off. In this world, a player from League C2, who has no experience in Serie A, was sold at a high price of 5 million euros. The prices of other players are not flying high. Galliani announced the deal in advance before the end of the league, not without taking advantage of the fierceness of the league and the media's greater attention to the league. This can minimize the impact of the deal and will not cause trouble for his future operations.

If the transfer period is announced, the media will always be busy asking questions, and they can always find out everything and expose the transfer fee, which may have a huge impact on Galliani's subsequent transfers.

"So, I dug a trap for them?!" Hugo laughed.

The whole thing seemed like a trivial matter to him and Marina, but Galliani might not think so. Isn't it a trap? !

"Not really. They didn't announce it, but they didn't tell us not to say it! I think we can give him face and say that the subsequent terms of the deal will reach 5 million euros! In this way, Galliani can also step down. After all, he didn't pay us 5 million euros at one time. We can also say that Victor is 5 million euros!" Said Seli.

"Life is full of learning! Leo, you and Galliani have taught me a lot!" Hugo sighed sincerely.

Seli thought to himself that you are still a little naive. This kind of thing is very common in many teams. When the official announcement is made is a learning, and the effect is different.

Without asking Galliani for his opinion, Trapani immediately announced on its official website that the team's central defender Victor Colenaly would transfer to Milan, and the transfer fee, including the initial payment and subsequent terms, would total 5 million euros.

There are definitely not many teams with official websites these days, and Trapani is at the forefront of the times. They also put their link on the New Sports website.

New Sports also began to exclusively disclose the amount of the transaction. Of course, they also made up a lot of stories, such as the initial payment was only one million, and then how many times he would play, and then what, all of which added up to 5 million.

Galliani looked at the media reports and was relieved as Seli thought. Trapani was still very sensible. The subsequent terms could be completely ignored. He only needed to say that Victor spent 1 million euros, and Trapani could also say that Victor was 5 million. Everyone got what they wanted.

In fact, after this news came out, many teams that wanted to sign Trapani players gave up the idea. Serie A teams will also focus on Trapani. Trapani has many talents, but this 5 million is too outrageous. Their players don’t even have experience in Serie B. How can they be bought so expensively? Most Serie A teams don’t want to spend such a waste of money even if they are interested, and low-level teams can forget about it. This 1 million is already too expensive. No matter how good the players are, we can’t afford it.

However, there are always people who have money and are not afraid of wasting money.

One day in June, Moggi called Hugo and talked about a person, Luca Toni. He told Hugo that Juventus wanted to introduce Luca Toni.

"This surprised me! Mr. Moggi!" Hugo was really a little surprised. If the average Serie A team can still be understood by Hugo, Juventus really doesn’t understand it. They are a wealthy club. How could they introduce a 24-year-old player from Serie C?

"Milan can take a fancy to Victor Colemani, why can't Juventus?!" Moggi laughed.

Moggi is an agent. He has his own company and his own career, but sometimes he is also the spokesperson for his father, Juventus General Manager Moggi. He said that Juventus took a fancy to Luca Toni, so it is true.

Milan and Juventus formed a so-called holy alliance, but it is not that there are no secrets between the two. For example, Victor's transfer itself is a strange transfer, but Moggi is definitely not clear. He just thought that Milan took a fancy to Victor. It's that simple. He didn't know that Hugo had a business cooperation with Finningwest.

"Okay, okay, okay! Who is Juventus?! One of the largest clubs in the world, they can take a fancy to any player and get him! But Toni is not okay!" Hugo said.

Without waiting for Moggi's answer, Hugo praised again: "Alex, I'm very happy that you called me to ask about the possibility of this deal instead of looking for Toni!"

These days, there are many clubs that contact players privately, Trapani also does this. Juventus's old Moggi did not formally send a fax to inquire about the price, but asked Moggi to ask privately. This is a respect for Hugo. If he sent a fax, it would be bad not to tell Toni, right? ! At least in their opinion, Toni may find it difficult to resist this temptation.

It's rare that Juventus didn't do anything behind the scenes.

"I always respect you very much. I hope to be friends with you and talk things over instead of enemies!" Moggi said sincerely.

"I'm glad you think so! I will tell the truth to my friends. We don't want to sell Toni! I know why Juventus wants to buy Toni. You need a substitute. Inzaghi is going to Milan. You need a substitute striker. But Toni is not a substitute for us. He is our battering ram. We need him. He is also the captain of our team. His high-yield shooter staying here marks my ambition!" Hugo said sincerely.

Little Moggi was not surprised that Hugo knew that Inzaghi was going to leave Juventus. The summer transfer has not officially started yet, but all signs have shown that Inzaghi will leave Juventus. There are rumors that Juventus will introduce Trezeguet, the French striker who defeated Italy in the European Cup last year. He is also very young. With his arrival, Inzaghi, who is not on good terms with Piero, can only leave.
