Chapter 29: The Stars in Prison (Part II)
Carnevale was a rebellious and wary man of his surroundings, and it was not easy to gain his full trust.
The prison warden told Zhuang Mingge that if Zhuang Mingge went to see Carnevale alone without his company, he would be closed to the door.
Zhuang Mingge was the first time he had seen such a good prisoner, and he originally thought that the prison director personally took him there because of his "identity", but he didn't expect that there was such a reason.
Zhuang Mingge originally thought that Carnevalle was being held in a "high-class" cell, but he soon discovered that the place where Carnevale "recuperated" was actually the staff dormitory of the prison staff.
The prison warden saw Zhuang Mingge's doubts, and he explained:
"Carnevale is now less than two months away from his release from prison, but because there is no one to bail him, he has to wait until the end of his sentence to be released from prison, we have taken into account his special situation, and specially arranged for him to move to the staff dormitory, and now, he enjoys the treatment of 'residential surveillance'."
Zhuang Mingge didn't know much about the relevant laws in Italy, so he asked the prison warden if he could bail Carnevale, but in exchange for a roll of the prison warden's eyes:
"Mr. Corleone, I'm sure you can afford this bail, but no one should want to bail Andre [Carnevale] until next Sunday's prison league final." After saying that, the prison director realized that this did not seem to be what a government worker should say, and immediately added, "This is Andrei's personal will, and we need to fully support and respect his private thoughts, which is the right he should have." ”
Zhuang Mingge ignored the prison warden who was playing cleverly on the side, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the Qatar Football Association: It is better for the Qataris to let the Qataris pay for the bail of Carnevale.
The official of the Qatar Football Association on the other end of the phone heard that Zhuang Mingge had found a "star player" in prison who could be signed for free, or an international player who represented the Italian national team in the last Shijie Cup, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted on the phone without any gentlemanly demeanor:
"Take it! Take it of course! Of course, we Qataris will pay this bail! Mr. Corleone, I would like to thank you very much for your contribution to the development of football in Qatar. ”
After a few polite words with the other party, Zhuang Mingge hung up the phone and kept muttering in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that you can contribute a lot of dollars to us, otherwise who would be willing to contribute to the development of Qatari football.
After Zhuang Mingge met Carnevalé, the development of things was completely different from what Zhuang Mingge had envisioned. Originally, Zhuang Mingge thought that a "radical" like Carnevale would have to spend a lot of words to move, but he didn't expect that he just said the idea of inviting him to play in the Qatar league in front of Carnevale, and before he had time to lobby in "jihua", Carnevale had already happily agreed, which was like finally grasping a life-saving straw, so that Zhuang Mingge, who was still a little drumming in his heart before, felt incredible:
You agreed so quickly, huh? This eldest brother doesn't even seem to have time to ask what his salary is.
Zhuang Mingge felt that he had taken advantage of it once, he didn't want Carnevale, who was a future member of Florence, to be taken advantage of by others, considering that Carnevale did not have an agent now, Zhuang Mingge asked Karin next to him to take out a brokerage contract and hand it to him.
Carnevale had no opinion on Zhuang Mingge's arrangement, and after a brief look at the contract, he happily signed his name on it, but before signing the contract, he asked the brokerage company to lend him $50,000 for "emergency", and Zhuang Mingge readily agreed.
Through a short contact, Zhuang Mingge felt from Carnevalle the enthusiasm of a man who grew up in adversity, and an emotion that only those who truly love the sport of football have. Although the contact time was short, a certain degree of "like-mindedness" quickly shortened the distance between everyone, and when saying goodbye to Carnevale, Zhuang Mingge clearly saw an indescribable longing and expectation in Carnevale's eyes.
Later, the prison warden told Zhuang Mingge that in fact, Carlnevale's wife Paula has been helping him contact the clubs he played for recently, hoping that Carnevale can be accepted by them after being released from prison, but unfortunately the result is very disappointing, and Carnevale was willing to unconditionally accept to play in the Qatar league from the beginning, and it has a lot to do with this experience.
In fact, there is no need for the prison warden to nag about anything, Zhuang Mingge is also a little ashamed of this, he knows about Carnevale's family situation. Carnevalé lost both of his parents at a very young age, and as the eldest brother, he almost single-handedly supported the difficult life of his family of seven. Needless to say, he asked GM to lend him $50,000 for "emergency", which must have been a problem in his own family that needed to be solved urgently.
In terms of Carnevale's contract, Zhuang Mingge can't call the shots, what he can do is to help Carnevale adapt to normal life as soon as possible after being released from prison, and hope that the Qataris can be more generous and let him get more bonuses and wages.
Basically completed the matter of Carnevale, Zhuang Mingge was in a good mood, he finally completed the "first goal" he determined, and the next goal basically only has "economic value" and no added value, Zhuang Mingge can slowly persuade one by one.
A week after his visit to prison, Mr. Zhuang received a phone call from Mr. Carnehvale in which he thanked Mr. Chuang for his help, informed him that he had been released on bail and had signed a two-year, $3 million contract with Qatar's club Al Sadd.
Zhuang Mingge congratulated Carnevale on the phone, and at the same time he wasted no time in inviting Carnevale to come to Florence as a scout after retiring.
At first, Zhuang Mingge didn't pay much attention to this when he heard this, but what he didn't expect was that only three days after this call, a letter of intent for the employment of the former Karnevale was put on his desk, which was identified by the "expert" Karin and had legal effect, and Carnevale would be sentenced to at least 3 years in prison if he broke the contract.
Zhuang Mingge pondered for a long time with this letter of intent, and finally signed the letter of intent, and added this sentence to the remarks of the letter of intent:
As long as André Carnevalle is not willing to leave Florence, Fiorentina will always hire Carnevale!
