The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 220 New arrival
"You decided to go to London to coach?"

At the dinner table in Huang's villa, Huang Jinsong and his wife were very surprised when they heard Ye Qiu say this news.

Before getting married, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu were in a long-distance relationship. Although they often called each other on the phone, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Always worry.

Besides, the football circle in Europe is Vanity Fair. There are countless beautiful women who are eager to climb the high branches of football stars and make themselves famous overnight. Young, handsome and rich, but sought-after goods like Ye Qiu, Huang Jinsong has always been in his heart. I was also a little apprehensive.

As a man, especially a successful man like him, of course he knows that acting out every now and then is inevitable, but he is afraid that after a long time, Ye Qiu can't stand the seduction of those women, what will happen to his daughter? manage?
Of course, he didn't doubt Ye Qiu's love and loyalty to his daughter. The two had been in love for so long, and he could see clearly who Ye Qiu was. It's just that sometimes it's hard to say such things, especially In the case of a long-term separation of husband and wife.

"If there is no major mistake, it should be!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this good news, Huang Jinsong and his wife were also very happy.

They have long felt that it is not an option for the couple to be too far apart. Now that Ye Qiu has gone to London from Amsterdam, the two of them can buy a house in London and see each other every day. They are like a couple!

"Okay, let's go to London!" Huang Jinsong laughed, "By the way, Ah Chu, why don't you go back with Ye Qiu and find a house by the way. Dad said before that I will give you a house. Save me money, you know?"

Huang Chu nodded and agreed with a smile, "We have already asked Eliza to help me find it. She has opened a real estate agency before and knows this well, and I have thought about it. Maybe in a year or so, I want to Back to London."

"Back to London? Isn't Cambridge good?" Huang Jinsong asked strangely.

"It's not bad!" Ye Qiu explained with a smile, "The best hospitals in England are basically in London, Wellington, Guy's and St. Thomas, St. Mary...these best hospitals are all in urban areas, if It is better for Ah Chu to enter these hospitals than to stay in Cambridge."

"Yes, Dad, my mentor is going to recommend it for me, and I also hope to be able to be on my own and accumulate as much experience as possible." Huang Chu then explained that for her, the most important thing now is experience.

Huang Jinsong couldn't help but nodded, "Then the house can't be bought in Cambridge."

"Yeah, we're considering buying around London. The urban areas are more expensive, and they're basically in a row," Huang Chu said.

An interesting feature of houses in London is that they are facing the street. Basically, they are houses like this, with two or three floors, facing the street in a row, and there is a small garden behind them. One of the biggest advantages of such houses is that they are cheap.

Therefore, even Kensington, Chelsea and Notting Hill, which are known as middle-class and wealthy districts, basically have such houses, but for Chinese people, such houses are very inconvenient. After all, who would not want Single family?
But in the urban area of ​​London, there are very few single-family villas. Some of them are remodeled from decades-old houses. Although they are still very strong, they look a bit dilapidated. It's enough for you to have a headache, so after comprehensive consideration, both Ye Qiu and Huang Chu felt that it would be better to buy in the suburbs.

First of all, houses in the suburbs are relatively cheap and have a lot of space. Basically, the back gardens have hundreds to thousands of square meters. Users will not be disturbed and influenced by the outside world.

But more importantly, the law and order in these small suburban villages will even be better than London.

It’s not surprising when you think about it, London is a big city with a large population but complex, only a few wealthy areas are better in security, and other places are basically a mess, especially with the recent years of economic This situation is even more obvious when the economy is weak, so if you live in London, if you want to have good law and order, you can only go to the rich area.

But it is different in small suburban villages and towns. Not to mention single-family households, in some relatively high-end places where rich people gather, basically no outsiders can be seen. All the houses are bought by rich people. Safety can be taken care of by oneself, but since a large part of the local government’s fiscal revenue comes from the property tax paid by the community, coupled with the different amounts of subsidies given by the government according to the security situation, they are very hard on security.

According to government regulations, properties exceeding 32 pounds pay a property tax of 2536 pounds per year. It is conceivable that this sum of money can almost support a special forces team in some wealthy small villages with more than [-] households.

According to the data released by the British government, the annual salary of special forces is about 1 pounds. If you hire a private special forces bodyguard, the annual salary is 3 pounds. It is conceivable that in these small rich villages, the law and order cannot be justified.

Of course, this also caused the public security in the rich area to get better and better, while the security in the poor area got worse and worse. As an ordinary resident, Ye Qiu must give priority to places with good public security when choosing a house.

Huang Jinsong was not familiar with the UK, and he really didn't know that buying a house in London was so special, so he was very surprised to hear it.

"Ah Chu and I both work, so we feel that there is no need to buy a big house. We usually live with two people. You and my parents go there, that is, three or five rooms. The most important thing is the environment and public security. Usually like this A house in the suburbs should cost hundreds of thousands of pounds." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

For him now, hundreds of thousands of pounds is really not much, because his signing fee alone is as high as 300 million pounds. This can be regarded as a sum of money saved by Van Prager for Ye Qiu, because he is now a free agent. , If he still has a contract with Ajax, he will have to pay liquidated damages, which is equivalent to giving up the signing fee.

"Even a big garden?" Huang Jinsong asked in surprise.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Buying a house in the UK is basically a set, regardless of the square area, regardless of the size of the garden, it costs a lot anyway, so in many suburbs, the garden is much larger than the house, but it is cheaper Terrible." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help feeling amused.

After all, only the suburbs can be like this. If you want to be in Kensington, Chelsea and Notting Hill in the city center, there is no fart. The gardens of those townhouses are very small. How can I give you a big garden?However, the public facilities are really good, which is definitely not comparable to the urban areas in the suburbs.

"Then you bought it in London, what about Ah Chu going to work?" Chu Yun was most concerned about his daughter.

Huang Chu smiled and took his mother's hand, "We have a car, Mom."

Ye Qiu has two cars, a Ferrari Enzo and a Ferrari 550. The former is driven by Ye Qiu himself, and the latter is naturally given to Huang Chu.

"Okay, since you've all made up your mind, let's do whatever you want!" Huang Jinsong was in a good mood, and made a decision, "But we have to agree, I'll give you the money for buying a house and redecorating it!"

Although he handed over the company's shares to Huang Chu, because neither Ye Qiu nor Huang Chu was interested in returning to Huang Tian Group, he still held the title of chairman. Working and serving as the chairman of the foundation at the same time, coupled with some real estate he bought over the past few years, he is not short of money at all.

In his words, unless he gambles, the money in his life will be squandered.

Therefore, the father-in-law rushed to pay, and of course Ye Qiu had no objection.

…………

…………

Sometimes I have to admire Eliza, she can quickly give you a satisfactory answer to almost anything in her hands.

It was like helping Ye Qiu find a house, she only took two days to give Ye Qiu an answer.

Tottridge, a wealthy village located in the north of London, is 50 kilometers away from Cambridge, about an hour away, basically all highways, and only 20 kilometers away from Heathrow Airport, and most importantly, here It is very secluded, but the traffic is very convenient. This village is composed of rich people's single-family mansions, and there is no problem with law and order.

After Ye Qiu received Eliza's news, he and Huang Chu took the plane to London, but after arriving at Heathrow Airport, the first thing he did was not to go to see the house, but to go to Chelsea's Harling Ton training base.

This training base is just north of Heathrow Airport, only 1 kilometer away, and it can be reached by walking, and it only takes 2 minutes by car.

I heard that Chelsea's training base is terrible, but I never thought that when Ye Qiu saw it with his own eyes, he looked at the area in front of him in disbelief. Well, it is barely a training ground. He shook his head and asked with a wry smile. To Eliza beside her, "Isn't this too bad?"

The Harrington training ground is located in the cheap countryside and can only be reached by a narrow road.

The entrance to the training ground is two very simple iron gates, how simple is it?
The water pipe is welded into a 1-meter-high rectangle, and the inside is welded into two crosses with thinner steel bars. This is the case for both doors, and the anti-rust paint on them has obviously fallen off, mottled and rusty. You Tell me, how crude is it?
Next to the iron gate is a brick and iron building. This is the guard post and dormitory, and there are some places for storing sundries. After entering the iron building, there is a long and narrow two-story training building. All the facilities are very simple. , The dormitories are also similar to the dormitory of the school. Although air conditioning is provided, it is still unsatisfactory.

Downstairs are the coaching staff office, head coach office, conference room, gym and locker room, etc.

The equipment room is arranged in a rectangular iron house next door.

Directly opposite the training building and the equipment room is the parking lot, which is only used by the first team and the coaching staff. The parking lot used to be two regular-sized football fields. The difference is that a drainage system and a geothermal system have been added to the left side , so it seems that the grass area is much smaller than the one on the right.

It can also be seen from this point that Chelsea did not pay much attention to the training ground before. Even in Ajax, the training ground of the first team is basically equipped with geothermal and drainage systems, while London, which has more rain and snow like Amsterdam, Chelsea only arranged one piece, and it was a shrunken version. It is really hard to believe that this is a Premier League powerhouse.

The entire Harrington training ground has only four pieces of turf, the first team occupies two standard fields on the right, and the youth team is all arranged on the left side of the entrance, which is the two large pieces of comprehensive turf behind the training building. It is relatively large, and the largest one is estimated to be the size of two standard fields, but they are connected together.

"It's strange that such a youth training system can produce good players!" Ye Qiu walked to the youth team's training ground. After getting through the phone, Ye Qiu and the others were allowed to wander around.

But it's no wonder that the entire training ground is empty, and the training building and equipment room are locked tightly, so they are not afraid of stealing.

It's not that Ye Qiu thinks hardware is more important than software in youth training, but it's an attitude.

When he saw such a comprehensive training ground, he could imagine that Chelsea's youth training is to mix up players of all ages, maybe even regardless of age group, and train directly in the comprehensive training ground. Just imagine, this kind of How chaotic was it?If there are not enough coaches, don't expect to be able to coach players at all.

"Pini Zahavi told me before that Abramovich is also very dissatisfied with Harrington, and this place is not Chelsea, it is rented by the Royal Academy of London, so he is going to find a new training ground , bought it and planned to build a brand new modern training base.”

As soon as Eliza's voice fell, she heard the sound of a plane landing from Heathrow Airport. There was a sudden roar, and nothing could be heard. One can imagine how much training is here on weekdays. pain of.

Before, Ye Qiu had heard that the Premier League teams were not only behind the mainland teams in terms of tactics, but also lagged far behind the other three major leagues in continental Europe in terms of scientific player management and club hardware and software facilities. Seeing the training ground of the Premier League powerhouse Chelsea, he is convinced of this.

Even Chelsea are like this, one can imagine what other teams will be like?

"The training turf of the first team is no good, replace it immediately, it is estimated that it will not be able to keep up with the training camp, our training camp this summer will be arranged in other places, and the training building of the first team will be redecorated, and the dormitory for the players to rest at noon must be refurbished. Well, there are locker rooms, equipment rooms, conference rooms..."

Hearing Ye Qiu spit out a lot, Elisa listened aside, took out his notebook and wrote it down, and when he finally finished speaking, he smiled wryly, "Please, you have said so much, don't you?" Does it mean that the entire training base needs to be refurbished and rebuilt?"

Huang Chu didn't understand this, but this time he also giggled.

Ye Qiu really wanted to scold her, but he knew very well that it had nothing to do with Abramovich, so he took out his phone, called Abramovich, and told him that he hoped to repair Haring as soon as possible. Ton training base.

"With the current situation in Harrington, unless it is a major reconstruction, otherwise, it is impossible to reach the level of a modern top football club, and it is so close to Heathrow Airport that it is not suitable for use as a training base."

Regarding Ye Qiu's comments, Abramovich also gave a positive answer. To be honest, he was also very dissatisfied after reading it himself. He felt that this was purely a training ground for amateur teams. Team?

"The security must be caught. I really don't want our opponents to spy on our every move in the Harrington training ground. There are also some hardware facilities, such as dormitories for players and coaches, conference rooms, and locker rooms. , medical room, etc., all need to be refurbished."

"We must create the best training environment for the players!" The last sentence was what Ye Qiu wanted to say.

Why did Manchester United build Carrington?Why did Arsenal build Kearney?
There is only one purpose, that is to create the most comfortable training environment for the players as much as possible, and at the same time adopt a more advanced and modern training system, which is impossible for Harrington at the moment.

The simplest is just like the set of speed detection equipment provided by Adidas to Ajax. It can detect the sprint speed of the player in any situation according to the sprint process of the player, such as the speed at the beginning, 5 meters, The speed of 10 meters, 15 meters, 20 meters, 25 meters and 30 meters, followed by 50 meters and 100 meters.

But at the Harrington training base, this cannot be done, because there is no space to arrange such a set of equipment.

Of course, nothing will happen without this set of equipment, but the problem is that with it, the coaching staff can know more clearly the moving speed of each player on the court. Human eyes can be deceiving, but equipment detection The data that comes out will not, and such detection can also play a role in predicting and detecting player injuries.

Abramovich supported Ye Qiu's proposal 100% on the phone. He said that the renovation of Harrington's training base must be completed in the shortest possible time. As for the team's summer training location, we will discuss it in detail after meeting at Stamford Bridge tomorrow. negotiate.

Ye Qiu also had no objection to this. He said that he would arrive at Stamford Bridge on time tomorrow to sign a contract with Abramovich and attend the press conference together.

After negotiating these matters, Eliza drove Ye Qiu and Huang Chu away from the Harrington training base, all the way north, and got off at Edgware on the M1 highway, and you can see the most primitive British town flavor.

Clean and clean roads, English buildings with red bricks and white tiles, and neat and orderly planning can easily give people a sense of comfort, but Eliza said that the environment and air in Totridge are better than those in Edgway. I am much better.

From Edgware to the east, along a narrow country road, it didn't take long to arrive at Tot Ridge.

Unlike Edgware, which is densely populated, Totridge seems relatively empty. The mansions and villas with large gardens are clearly separated, with tall oak trees that block the view being planted in the middle, and high walls are built. , making each villa seem like an independent small world.

Eliza has been here twice, and she is a little familiar with it. This time, she directly drove Ye Qiu and his wife to the gate of the villa she had chosen, but as soon as Ye Qiu got out of the car, he found a person opposite, staring at him.

So familiar, who is it?

Ye Qiu was puzzled.
