The Godfather of Football

The house that Eliza found for Ye Qiu has a single-story building area of ​​300 square meters, two and a half floors, three bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms.

The whole villa is separated from the outside world by a green fence made of high walls, oak trees and vines. This green fence makes people living inside look more comfortable, and there is no sense of restraint like being in prison like a red brick fence.

The heavy stainless steel electric sliding door is very solid and heavy, giving people a dense sense of security, and the anti-theft aspect is also very well done. As long as someone climbs the gate and the wall, they will immediately go directly to the nearby police station.

After entering the door is the back wall of the villa, there is only one garage door, which is directly connected to the independent garage on the back row of the first floor, which can accommodate up to 5 cars, and the front row of the first floor is an indoor swimming pool and gym. The side facing the south garden adopts a fully open design, and the east and west sides are separated from the left and right gardens by transparent floor-to-ceiling glass.

There are two internal and external stairs from the first floor to the second floor. The external staircase directly connects the garden and the balcony on the second floor.

The balcony is a bit like a sky garden, where you can plant some flowers and plants. In response to the first floor, the second floor adopts a semi-open design. Most of the south side facing the balcony is designed with transparent floor-to-ceiling glass and sliding doors.

Standing on the balcony, you can clearly see everything inside through the window. The kitchen is on the east side, the dining room is on the other side, and then the large living room. Because it is a building-in-a-building design, the large living room is very large, but the innermost wall facing the main road is a wall.

The west side of the large living room is the most distinctive design of this house. The wall is combined with a spiral staircase, spiraling all the way up, and the part above the staircase steps is designed with all arc-shaped glass curtain walls, making the whole house look modern, especially with the other sharp straight lines, forming a strong visual impact.

There is no balcony on the third floor, only three rooms, one of which is the master bedroom. Because the roof adopts an insulation layer ventilation design, even in summer, the third floor is still very ventilated and cool. In addition, there are tall trees around, shaded by trees, and the sun is generally not exposed, so there is no need to worry about insulation problems.

Although the building area of ​​this villa is not small, there is also a garden. Compared with Beckham's garden that is several acres, Ye Qiu's garden seems small, but it is very spacious. Planting some flowers and trees is also very elegant.

In the past few years, with the plunge of the US stock market, the market in London has also fallen, and there are not so many foreigners coming to London to speculate in real estate, so the housing prices are still relatively low, especially in remote villages like Totteridge, where few people are interested at all, but it seems to be very good value for money.

The other party offered 800,000 pounds for a single-family villa with more than an acre of land, but Eliza felt that the price could be negotiated, because in a place like Totteridge, only the rich people in England would be interested, and outsiders basically bought in the city of London, so it is generally difficult to sell.

"I'm sure that 600,000 pounds can be taken, but after renovation, I'm afraid it will still cost about 1 million pounds." Eliza gave her own evaluation price. You know, she has opened a real estate agency and knows all these market conditions and tricks.

"What about you? Have you found a house and an office?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

He was already married and would live with Huang Chu in the future. If Eliza also moved in, it would definitely be somewhat inconvenient, so this time Ye Qiu did not invite Eliza to live with him.

"It's almost done. I chose to rent a house in Notting Hill. The office is casual. Anyway, we are not doing business with the door open. It doesn't matter where we work." Eliza said with a smile.

"You guys take a look. If you think it's suitable, I will talk to the owner directly. The total land area is more than one acre, with permanent property rights. If the price is really negotiated, I think it's a good deal!"

Ye Qiu and Huang Chu also thought it was pretty good. In fact, it hasn't been renovated yet, and there is no furniture, so it's probably not noticeable. I just think that although the overall architectural style of the house is asymmetrical, it is very modern and looks great. I believe that once it is renovated and furniture and appliances are added, everything here will become better.

The couple and Eliza walked around and visited every corner of the villa and garden. Finally, they came to the conclusion that although the villa was newly built, it was very solid and of high quality.

Walking back to the gate, Ye Qiu saw the old man who looked familiar just now was just across the road, helping a little girl of six or seven to ride a bicycle. The little girl was young after all, and her movements were clumsy, and she kept falling sideways. The old man was patiently persuading and coaxing her, with a smile on his face.

"Eliza, look at that person, he looks so familiar!" Ye Qiu pointed at the old man in the distance.

Eliza and Huang Chu both looked over following Ye Qiu's gesture, "Really?"

"When I came just now, he stared at me, but I couldn't remember who he was, it seemed..." Ye Qiu was very distressed.

"Is it Wenger?" Huang Chu asked back.

"Yes, it's Wenger!" Ye Qiu suddenly realized. Oh my god, he felt familiar with him, but he looked very ordinary, quite different from the professor Wenger usually wore in a suit. In addition, he saw him suddenly, so he couldn't remember him for a while.

"Hey, Ah Chu, you are not his fan, are you?" Eliza asked teasingly.

Huang Chu glared at her angrily, "I have a patient who is a fan of his. I see his photos almost every day."

When Ye Qiu and the others were talking, Wenger on the opposite side also noticed. He raised his head, glanced at Ye Qiu, and then lowered his head.

"This guy must have recognized me a long time ago, but he pretended not to see me!" Ye Qiu found it funny.

Although most people think that Wenger is very elegant and professorial, some people think that Wenger is a very stubborn and arrogant person. To say that he has a nerdy personality is a nice way to say it, but not a nice way to say it. Just a bit unsociable.

"I'll go over and meet him!" Ye Qiu walked over with a smile.

Eliza and Huang Chu looked at each other behind him, and immediately shook their heads helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Hi, Professor!" Ye Qiu walked over and called him by his nickname.

People came to the door, and Wenger also raised his head and greeted Ye Qiu, "Hello, I didn't expect you to come to London too!"

He had heard some news through his own channels before. He knew that Chelsea's number one head coach candidate was Ye Qiu. He also knew that Chelsea had just announced yesterday that it had contacted head coach Ranieri about a job contract. Everyone was speculating that Ye Qiu was very worried. Maybe he wanted to take over Chelsea, but he didn't expect that he would meet Ye Qiu in person today.

What makes Wenger feel most uncomfortable is that the two of them have become enemies!

"Do you live here?" Ye Qiu did not answer the question about his coming to London, and turned to Wenger.

The Frenchman nodded, without being polite to Ye Qiu, and said to the little girl: "Lily, go forward and go home."

Only then did Ye Qiu notice the existence of the little girl. There was a puppy in the frame in front of her bicycle, sticking out its cute little tongue from time to time, looking very proud and interesting.

"Your granddaughter?" Ye Qiu asked casually.

Wen Ge's face darkened and he looked at Ye Qiu unhappily, "Daughter!"

Ye Qiu's eyes widened with a look of disbelief. Even though he was thick-skinned, he didn't feel embarrassed. He nodded, "What a cute girl, she must look like her mommy!"

Wenger was unhappy now. How could anyone praise his daughter in front of her father for being cute and beautiful, just like her mother? Isn't this a roundabout way of saying that her father is ugly?

He stopped talking for a moment, patted his daughter's shoulder gently, pointed forward, but before leaving, he did not forget to look at Ye Qiu again, "The Premier League and the Eredivisie are two completely different worlds, you'd better Be careful!"

"I know!" Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, "You should also be careful."

Wen Ge smiled coldly and continued to walk forward, chasing his daughter's bicycle, but he had just taken less than two steps when he heard Ye Qiuwen behind him.

"Hey, professor, how much does it cost to pack Henry, Ashley Cole and Vieira? Just give us a price!"

When Wenger heard this, he staggered and almost fell down. When he turned around and saw Ye Qiu smiling, he felt hatred in his heart. These were the three pillars of his family. If they were all poached, what would happen to Arsenal? The Premier League is such a mess.

However, this possibility is not impossible. According to foreign media reports, Abramovich is worth an astonishing amount. It is said that he plans to invest up to 300 million euros in Chelsea in the new season. This is an astonishing transfer budget, almost all over the world. There is no player they cannot buy.

With such an astonishing transfer budget, the salary structure will naturally be high. At that time, as long as they casually offer a price two or three times higher than the normal contract, it will be basically difficult for the stars to resist. They will either raise their salary or Let him go, and this is undoubtedly a big harm to Arsenal, which is currently facing a tight financial budget due to the construction of a new stadium.

Of course, Ye Qiu didn't know that so many thoughts were running through Wenger's mind at this moment. The only feeling he felt now was that he was having fun. Damn it, how did you poach my Gilberto Silva back then? You are so high-spirited and high-spirited. Now the situation has changed. If I don't dig you out now, I won't call you Ye Qiu!

Wenger's expression changed several times in an instant, and he quickly calmed down. He stared at Ye Qiu and said simply and neatly, "No way!"

"Yes!" Ye Qiu smiled and took two steps forward, "I have always believed that no one in a team is irreplaceable. I believe you feel the same way. So, since they are not irreplaceable, There will always be a price, right? Just tell me your price, I want Henry, Ashley Cole and Vieira!”

Ye Qiu also said the last sentence very firmly, as if he would not give up if he failed.

Wenger was really angry this time, "I'll say it again, no sale!"

Ye Qiu shrugged, "Okay, you can think about it again, and I'll make preparations first to see if we can reach a consensus and then make an appointment to talk." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Oh, that's right, I've decided to buy this house across from you!" Ye Qiu really left this time.

Wenger could naturally hear the pun in Ye Qiu's words. He also knew very well that he had angered Ye Qiu by contacting Gilberto Silva in private, and now this guy had made it clear that he wanted to follow him. They are facing each other. They have to live across from themselves and coach their rivals in the same city.

It is foreseeable that this sharp-edged boy will be in chaos as soon as he comes to the Premier League!

But what worries him the most is the team. Wenger himself knows the strength of Henry, Ashley Cole and Vieira. If Ye Qiuzhen is interested in these three players and poaches them with high salaries, he is now preparing for them. The three people who are at odds with the club over their salary may actually switch to other teams.

No one will believe that professional players are loyal to a club until death. It is all based on guaranteed interests. Otherwise, why has Vieira been entangled with Real Madrid in recent years?

Thinking of this, Wenger directly picked up the phone and dialed his next door neighbor, Arsenal Vice Chairman David Dunn. As soon as he got through, he couldn't wait to ask, "David, guess what happened just now?" Who did I meet? Ye Qiu, yes, that damn Chinese guy who led Ajax to win the Champions League. He lives across from me, diagonally across from you. Yes, he is coming to Chelsea, and he said To dig out Henry, Ashley Cole and Vieira.”

"Nonsense!" David Dunn laughed in disbelief on the phone, "Do you know how much these three people are worth?"

Wenger calmed down this time, "I heard that Abramovich's transfer budget for him was 300 million euros."

The person who was stunned this time became David Dunn. Oh my God, a transfer budget of 300 million euros?

"The club needs to be more relaxed on the issue of contract renewal and salary increase. This is a critical period!" Wenger reminded cautiously.

David Dunn immediately nodded in agreement. After hanging up the phone with Wenger, he immediately called the agents of Henry, Ashley Cole and Vieira, and immediately expressed his position that the club decided to renew the contract with them. Negotiate a salary increase.

Ye Qiu didn't know that his casual words made Arsenal's management jump in a panic. If he knew, he would be even happier than he is now, and he might even lie down on the road with laughter.

"So proud, what did you say to Wenger?" Huang Chu asked with a smile when he saw him like that.

"I didn't say anything. I just said hello to him and asked him by the way, how much does it cost to pack Henry, Ashley, Cole and Vieira together? As a result, hey, you are too timid, and I am so generous. I’m scared!” Ye Qiu laughed.

Eliza and Huang Chu couldn't help but giggle when they saw his triumphant look. The latter even laughed and scolded, "Look at your nouveau riche look, it's so vulgar!"

"You don't know, when this bunch of bullshit wealthy families tried to poach me, I was so angry that I wanted to beat my chest. Now that I finally have a chance to take revenge, why should I be polite to them?" Ye Qiu was a bit less concerned. I don't think I'm overdoing it.

"Listen to your tone, if they really sell it, do you really plan to get Henry and the other three?" Eliza asked.

Ye Qiu nodded without hesitation, "Why don't you do it? These three players have all been trained in the Premier League, and there is no adaptation problem. Moreover, together with Lampard and Terry, the entire central axis is formed. The skeleton of a top team, don’t say they sell it, even if they don’t sell it, I will dig them up.”

After a pause, Ye Qiu suddenly smiled again: "Didn't I say something? Although the famous flower has its owner, I will loosen the soil!"

This guy's expression is too lewd, too nouveau riche.

But what he said is indeed not unreasonable.

The left wing where Henry and Ashley Cole are located has always been Arsenal's strongest offensive wing. Together with Vieira in the midfield, the three of them joined Chelsea, plus Lampard. And Terry, my God, these five players are the backbone of a strong team, who doesn't have a headache?

"How about I break the news for you?" Eliza suggested in an equally sly way.

Ye Qiu gave a thumbs up to this beauty, and barely said, "Achu is the one who marries me, and Eliza is the one who knows me!"

"Eliza, if you stay with this guy for too long, you'll learn bad things!" Huang Chu felt that the two of them were playing too little tricks, conspiring to frame others like this, but she didn't feel disgusted at all, she just felt pity for Wenger.

"You don't understand, Ah Chu, we are fighting violence with violence, letting them respond with tooth for tooth, blood for blood!" Ye Qiu was upright.

The three of them were laughing non-stop, and Ye Qiu even felt that if Wenger lived across from him in the future, his life would be very comfortable.

"By the way, Eliza, since we want to release the news, why not release a few more!"

This time, even Eliza could see it. This guy smiled so cunningly and cheaply that it was not enough to plot against one Wenger, but he also wanted to plot against others? However, I like it!

"Say, who else?" Eliza smiled, "But don't be too outrageous, otherwise no one will believe it!"

"Am I such a stupid person?" Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, "Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ferdinand of Manchester United, Shevchenko, Pirlo, Nesta of AC Milan, Juventus Buffon, Thuram and Nedved, Lazio’s Stam, Barcelona’s Puyol and Xavi, Bayern Munich’s Ballack.”

"I'll think about it again, think about it again!" Ye Qiu looked like he had a headache.

Eliza and Huang Chu on the side were dumbfounded. This guy was too ambitious. He included almost all the famous generals in Europe. Isn't this too outrageous? Is your appetite too big?

"Okay, that's all for now. Let the news out first and say that I have a list of transfer targets. I want to target these people and let all these wealthy families have a taste of being poached!" Ye Qiu Thief laughed.

Huang Chu was in disbelief, but she was a little worried. "You are digging too hard, aren't you?" She was afraid that her husband would offend someone.

Ye Qiu felt Huang Chu's kindness and smiled. "This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. You think they are not ruthless. Now they are staring at the fat piece of Ajax like hungry wolves. They are the real ruthless characters!"

For Ye Qiu, digging like this is fun. As for whether it will succeed, it depends on fate!

The most excited one is Eliza. This little girl is a bit of a spectator. It seems that she is looking forward to Ye Qiu being more ruthless, so that she will be more satisfied!
