As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 183 Going Home (Daily Transition)
Like other main players, Jose chose to leave the team temporarily.

Instead of returning home directly, he flew to London.

After leaving the London airport, Jose called the landlord while rushing to his residence.

Jose wants to buy the house from the landlord.

Although Jose is not as obsessed with buying a house like others, he, who studied economics at Oxford University, knows very well that investing in real estate is the best choice at this stage.

As for why not return to China to invest?Jose has only one answer, and that is to miss it.

In fact, not only did Jose have no idea of ​​investing in Chinese real estate, he also had no idea of ​​investing in German real estate.

With the knowledge that Jose has, he can see that in the next few years, only London real estate can achieve a steady rise.

The house that Jose rented is located in the Barnet administrative area in the northwest suburb. Whether it is going to the Stamford Bridge Stadium, Cobham Training Base, or Oxford University, it takes about an hour to drive.

It's not that Jose doesn't want to choose a house closer, but that he doesn't have enough money.

The average house price in Barnet is currently around 60 pounds, and the house that Jose rents covers a relatively large area, reaching 5000 inches (that is, 450 square meters) according to the landlord.

If Jose wants to buy it, the price he needs to pay will not be less than 100 million pounds.

Of course, it's only £100 million, which is still affordable for Jose.

Since he won the Golden Boy Award, various endorsement fees have skyrocketed, even higher than his salary.

The main problem for Jose is that he wants to buy the other house connected next door. When the two houses are connected, he will be able to own a villa of nearly [-] square meters.

Negotiations with the landlord went smoothly, and after some haggling, Jose bought the villa at a price of 98 pounds.

Counting the rent of 5 previously given, Jose actually spent 103 million pounds.

This price is completely within Jose's expected range.

But for the vacant house next door, Jose failed to buy it after talking for a long time.

The home owner is a wealthy Indian businessman who is not short of money. The house has been vacant for a long time, and he still insists on asking for 110 million.

With the same area, the price is 5% higher. From the perspective of investment, it will take at least [-] years to pay back. Jose thinks it is not worth it.

Since the other party was unwilling to lower the price, Jose no longer insisted.

The investment project is not limited to this one.

Man, sometimes it's really mean.

When Jose gave up, the wealthy Indian businessman suddenly agreed to cut the price.

In the end Jose bought it for £105 million.

In this way, Jose spent more than 200 million and finally bought two villas.

It has to be said that the real estate transaction tax in the UK is really high.

Jose did some calculations, and the transaction tax for the 105 million house reached 4.9 pounds, which was equal to Jose's weekly salary.

In addition, Jose only knew at the last moment that fortunately he bought two separate houses. If he bought them together, the tax rate for the total price exceeding 150 million pounds would reach 12%.

Fortunately, the transaction tax is paid by the original owner.

In this way, Jose has his own home in a foreign country.

...

It has been three days since the house was settled, and there is only one day before Christmas.

Jose didn't have the habit of celebrating Christmas, so he bought a plane ticket and got ready to go home without hesitation.

On December 12, Jose boarded the plane back home.

When he stepped into the plane, he saw a familiar pretty face, which was none other than senior sister Leng Yu.

"Senior sister, long time no see." Jose shouted.

"Well, long time no see." Seeing that it was Jose, Leng Yu smiled all over her face.

Seeing Senior Sister again, Jose was naturally very excited, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

After the two faced each other in silence for more than ten seconds, Leng Yu said: "Go to your seat first, I will come to you later."

"Okay, you go first." Jose nodded.

As a business class flight attendant, Leng Yu naturally has to work.

Jose found his place, put away his luggage, and began to close his eyes and rest his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Leng Yu and other stewardesses finally arranged all the passengers, and then walked to the seat next to Jose and sat down.

"Congratulations, European golden boy." Leng Yu joked.

"Uh, senior sister, are you kidding me?"

"You know I didn't mean that." Leng Yu said so, but her expression was full of ridicule.

Jose was speechless.

"I heard that you went to Germany to play football." Leng Yu continued.

"Well, there is a better chance to play in the Bundesliga." Jose nodded, and at the same time was secretly moved that the senior sister paid attention to all his movements.

"A smart choice." Senior sister praised.

In this way, the two are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, chatting about their recent interesting things along the way.

"Senior sister, how is your foreign language level?" Jose asked suddenly.

"It's okay, what's the matter?" the senior sister asked suspiciously.

"Then how much is your salary? I didn't mean to inquire about your privacy, so don't tell me if it's inconvenient." Jose didn't answer but continued to ask.

"About [-] a month, it's incomparable to you." Leng Yu didn't mind Jose's question, but told Jose generously.

"More than 2 yuan? It's 24 a year, equivalent to [-] pounds, right?"

"That's right." Leng Yu nodded.

"Sister, I'll give you [-] pounds a year, how about quitting this job?" Jose looked at the senior with full expectation.

"Quit your job? Do you want to keep me? I never thought you would become such a person." Leng Yu said coquettishly.

"Uh!" Hearing Leng Yu's words, Jose was obviously taken aback, and then quickly explained: "No, senior sister, you misunderstood, I just want you to come and help me with something, I plan to make an investment, and I need myself who can understand foreign languages people to help."

"So you plan to exploit your senior sister." Leng Yu said with her eyes rolled.

This time, Jose was really stunned.

Are all women's thinking so strange?

"Hey, I'm not kidding you anymore. What do you want senior to help you with? Tell me." Seeing Jose's appearance, Leng Yu smiled like a flower, and said so.

So Jose told the other party what he thought.

"Yes, I can help you, but in addition to salary, I also want to take care of food and housing. There is no way, the consumption in the UK is too high." Leng Yu finally said.

"That's no problem. If this is successful, I can give you a certain amount of dividends." Jose directly agreed.

Food and lodging is of course not a problem, Jose has just bought two villas, let alone one more person, there is no problem with a few more.

In this way, the two settled the general matters.

After returning home, Leng Yu immediately resigned from her current job.

Although the stewardess has a very high name, she is essentially a waiter.

Now that there is a better way out, naturally he will not give up.

...

During the nearly seventeen-hour flight, Jose took three full sleeps before arriving in Huaxia. Fortunately, he was accompanied by his senior sister so that he would not be bored.

After leaving Baiyun Airport, Jose took a taxi and went home.

This time, there were no journalists ambushing outside the airport.

When I got home, it was already the night of the 25th, China time.

During dinner time, Jose's mother suddenly said: "Ser, since there are more chances to play in the Bundesliga and there are holidays, just transfer there and never return to the Premier League."

Hearing what his mother said, Jose shook his head with a smile and said: "Mom, the salary in the Bundesliga is low. I've heard of Sun Xingmin from South Korea. His current annual salary is only 100 million euros. In addition, the Bundesliga's tax is 45." %."

"Huh? Is it so different?" Jose's mother was shocked.

"Nonsense, otherwise how could the Premier League attract so many people? It's just that the money is too much." Jose's father gave his wife a white look.

"Mom and Dad, there is something I want to discuss with you." Jose looked at his parents and said seriously.

"what's up?"

"I want to open several Chinese restaurant chains in Europe, and I want you to host them." Jose directly expressed his thoughts.

The fundamental reason why western food can rise in China is people's sense of freshness.

In the same way, Chinese restaurants can also succeed in foreign countries.

Hearing Jose's words, his parents fell silent.

Of course, they were moved by Jose's suggestion, but language was their real concern.

"Language is not a problem, I found a translator for you." Jose told about Leng Yu.

Hearing what the son said, the parents immediately made a decision.

After convincing the parents to go, everything is not a problem.

Of course, relying on parents alone is not enough, Jose's father also found other people.

Jose only stayed at home for half a month before fleeing back to London.

Because, every day, there are always some kind-hearted people who bring a few girls to the door, saying that they are visiting, but they are actually going on a blind date.

There was no way, Jose could only hide.

After José settled down with his parents and seniors, he returned to Germany alone.

The Bundesliga will restart on January 1, and Jose needs to enter the training state ahead of schedule.

As for the winter transfer period, Leverkusen did not buy a single new player.

Instead, Oztunali left. With Sun Xingmin sitting firmly on the left winger, he really didn't have many chances to play, so he chose to go to Werder Bremen on loan.

As for Jose, Chelsea executives proposed an early recall plan, which was eventually rejected by Jose.

Although the Leverkusen team is slightly lacking in strength, Jose can play as an absolute main force, and the Champions League has already qualified for the group stage.

In the UEFA Champions League, the competition is not only about strength, sometimes luck is also very important.

According to the schedule, Leverkusen's opponent in the 18th round is Dortmund under the command of Klopp.

This season, due to Lewandowski's departure, Dortmund's offensive power has been greatly reduced. In the first 17 rounds, they only scored 18 goals, the third from the bottom.

At present, Dortmund has 4 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses with 15 points, ranking second to last.

Even so, no one dared to underestimate them.

At 1:31 on January 18, local time in Germany, at the Bayer Arena, the focus match between Leverkusen and Dortmund officially started.

The starting lists of both sides were as usual, and were not announced until the moment before the game.

For the Leverkusen team, Kruse and Son Heung-min, who participated in the Asian Cup final, were absent, and Delmic played as a left winger.Hilbert replaced right-back Jedvaj, who was out due to injury.
