The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 230 Instant Kill
It was raining in the middle of the night, but London was still brightly lit and full of pedestrians.

Especially on the way from Heathrow Stadium to Stamford Bridge, with the help of the dazzling street lights, watching the pedestrians walking slowly on both sides, and the bars that are bustling with business, this is the first time Ye Qiu has experienced the scenery of London after midnight .

They all said that the British like to walk, which is true, even if it was raining, they still walked slowly on the street, and some even didn't even open an umbrella, just drenched like this Rain, he still looks very excited, probably because he went to a nearby bar to drink.

As far as bars are concerned, this has become a British culture, especially in the area around Chelsea, where rich people, white-collar workers and middle-class people basically live. Lem's home ground is near the Thames, and the surrounding area can be said to be full of bars.

Ye Qiu has just arrived here, and he is not very familiar with London. What he knows better is the road from Heathrow Stadium to Stamford Bridge Stadium. He drives his Ferrari Enzo sent from Amsterdam, and dare not make the slightest deviation. walking.

London can be said to be very expensive, especially in Kensington and Chelsea, where the land is even more valuable, so although Stamford Bridge, which created Chelsea, is located in a rich area of ​​London, it is surrounded by various people. The building is surrounded by water, and there is no room for expansion and development at all.

From another angle, it can be seen that Stamford Bridge is crowded, that is, the team's museum and club store are not arranged in the more eye-catching main entrance of the stadium like other clubs, but are arranged behind the stadium.

In other words, if fans want to buy something in the store, they have to walk around the entire stadium.

Moreover, there is no parking lot at the Stamford Bridge Stadium. Therefore, parking is prohibited here. Even the club's vehicles can only be parked behind the stadium. There is a small parking lot next to the store, and even parking spaces are scarce.

Stamford Bridge Stadium will arrange security duty every night, and the office is on the first floor of the main gate of the stadium.

When Ye Qiu arrived, the car lights shone into the office, and then he heard the roar of a Ferrari stopping at the door.

"Mr. Ye Qiu!" The security team leader on duty at night walked out of the office, saw Ye Qiu get out of the car, ran over quickly to hide from the rain, and pointed inside, "He said his name was Frank Ribery. professional player from France."

After finishing speaking, the security guard shrugged his shoulders, and whispered to Ye Qiu's side, "Although he does have a jersey and sneakers on him, it doesn't look like much, and...he came here on foot!"

"Walking here?" Ye Qiu was taken aback. Although the calls from the UK require a phone call in advance, they are not used at the airport or some bus stops. The purpose is to facilitate these foreign tourists.

"Who knows?" The security guard shrugged helplessly, but finally added, "This kid speaks English very badly, but his temper is very violent, and there is that scar..."

This security guard also knows how to stop when enough is enough. Originally, he planned to say, is such a big scar from the underworld?

Ye Qiu didn't care too much, walked into the security guard's duty office, and saw Ribery sitting inside with a bag of luggage beside him, looking up at him. He didn't stand up until Ye Qiu walked over. .

"Didn't I give you my phone number?" Ye Qiu wanted to laugh when he saw his drowned appearance.

"I lost it!" Ribery replied bluntly, but he didn't directly say that he threw it away.

Ye Qiu frowned and smiled, "Let's go!" He turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Ribery quickly grabbed his luggage and followed.

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "Are you planning to stay here tonight?"

After leaving the gate of the duty office, Franck Ribery was immediately frightened by the fiery red Ferrari in front of him. He is also a car lover, and he recognized it at a glance as the limited edition Ferrari Enzo, the most advanced Only Ferrari's high-end customers have the opportunity to buy the sports car, limited to 399 units worldwide, it can be said to be the dream lover of all car lovers.

"Why are you in a daze? Get in the car!" Ye Qiu had already opened the car door and got in.

Franck Ribery stood there watching carefully, his eyes wandering around, but he didn't open the door and sit in.

"Get in the car, what are you doing?" Ye Qiu wondered, this kid is weird.

Franck Ribery stood there a little at a loss, he could already feel the group of security guards behind him laughing, "Open the door."

Ye Qiu almost lost his voice. It turned out that this kid didn't know how to open the door. "The one with no handle, the one at the back of the door is the one that's recessed. You can open it with your hand!"

Franck Ribery followed Ye Qiu's words, reached in, grabbed it hard, and the Ouyi door slowly rose, which made him feel as if he was in a science fiction world. Then he patted the clothes on his body deliberately, as if I wanted to pat off the dust, and then I sat in, but I couldn't close the door. I had to stand up a little more, and then closed the door.

"It's so troublesome!" Franck Ribery complained, but his eyes were looking around like a thief, as if everything in the car was so new to him. Opportunity to take such a car.

Ye Qiu smiled vainly, and drove out slowly, "Why did you walk here? Didn't you swim across the English Channel from Boulogne?" After speaking, he chuckled.

Franck Ribery sighed, "I came by plane, I called a taxi, told him to go to Chelsea, and then told me a lot, and then I didn't know where to go, just threw me down Then I left, and I was also depressed."

Frankly speaking, this French boy's English is not too bad. There is no problem with daily communication, and it is probably due to other problems.

"And then?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

"I couldn't get a taxi, I couldn't find a place, so I asked people along the way!" Franck Ribery shrugged his shoulders, looking very open-minded, but Ye Qiu listened, and felt that the words were somewhat bitter .

Just imagine, a person came to a strange city alone, unfamiliar with the place of life, looking for people to ask for directions on the street in the middle of the night, one can imagine the misery, because even in the UK, don’t think that people here How friendly people will be, especially when they see Ribery's face, they must avoid it.

"Who told you to throw my business card?" Ye Qiu scolded with a smile.

Franck Ribery was surprised, "It was accidentally lost, not thrown!" He reminded very seriously.

He has thought about it along the way, throwing and throwing are two completely different concepts, and he has made up his mind that he will never admit that it is throwing.

"It's all the same to me!" Ye Qiu said with a laugh.

Franck Ribery didn't know what to do, let him talk, turned his head, and looked freshly at the colorful world of London, the bustling night scene, full of surprise.

This is the first time in his life that he has come to such a bustling world-class metropolis, and everything is very new to him.

The car slowly left the city and arrived at the Skyline Hotel near Heathrow Airport.

The hotel is next to Heathrow Airport, and only one kilometer away from the Harrington training base. Even when the villa in Totridge hadn't been renovated, Ye Qiu always chose to live here.

Because most of them are passengers from the airport, the hotel is open 24 hours a day. Ye Qiu took Ribery to a midnight meal, opened a room for him, let him take a shower, and sleep comfortably. a sleep.

"Have enough energy, follow me to the training base tomorrow!"

Finally, Ye Qiu uttered these words that stabilized Ribery and allowed him to sleep comfortably all night.

…………

…………

When I saw Ribery again the next morning, it was in the restaurant of the hotel.

Ye Qiu informed the waiter of the hotel to tell Ribery to go to the restaurant to find him directly after waking up. When the boy arrived, Huang Chu happened to be going to work. .

"Boss, your girlfriend is so beautiful!" Ribery was full of surprise.

"My wife!" Ye Qiu raised his coffee cup to hide his complacency, this brat knows how to flatter.

Ye Qiu was also weird, he didn't like to flatter him directly, but he was quite receptive to flattering him indirectly.

"That day..." Ribery thought for a while.

"My manager, Eliza Moon!" Ye Qiu introduced.

Franck Ribery suddenly realized, and couldn't help but compare in his heart. Is his wife beautiful?Or is the agent pretty?
After thinking for a long time, the kid finally came to a conclusion that the two seemed so beautiful that it was hard to tell which was better.

"By the way, do you have a manager?" Ye Qiu asked casually.

"Yes!" Ribery said while gnawing on bread, "However, when I was in Ales, I didn't get my salary and ran away with others!"

Ye Qiu took a sip of coffee and almost spat it in his face, why did this kid say that the manager seemed to have eloped with someone.

"According to the usual practice, I have to take you to the Harrington training base. The conditions there are very bad, but they are still improving. We have already bought a piece of land nearby, and we will move in a year. We will arrange training for this summer. In Austria, if you have no problems, I will arrange an agent for you, and you sign the contract with the club."

"That's it?" Ribery asked.

"What do you think?" Ye Qiu wondered, wouldn't it be good to just sign the contract like this?

Franck Ribery was still thinking that he would have to try out for a period of time no matter what, or inspect for a while, but from Ye Qiu's tone, he seemed to be full of confidence in himself, and he was about to sign a contract with him immediately.

"Is there a problem?" Seeing Ribery in a daze, Ye Qiu thought he was not happy.

"Oh, no, no problem, how could there be a problem?" Franck Ribery shook his head vigorously, "It's just that my salary..."

Ye Qiu actually laughed. This kid is really courageous. Letting him play in the Premier League is considered special care of him, but he is good enough to raise his salary?But Ye Qiu knew in his heart that he had come here alone, and he had already made it clear that he would be bullied, but now that he wanted to sign the contract, he had to ask clearly.

"The weekly salary is 1000 pounds, and there are various bonuses such as appearance fees, winning bonuses, goal bonuses, championship bonuses, and league rankings. If you perform well, your salary can also rise by 50%. I will give you a new contract, and the salary will depend on your performance!"

When Ye Qiu said this, Franck Ribery's eyes brightened.

With a weekly salary of 1000 pounds, it was almost 4 pounds a month, which is much better than his being a brick mover.

"Are there any questions?" Ye Qiu asked again.

Franck Ribery kept shaking his head vigorously. He was not afraid that Ye Qiu would lie to him. To be honest, he also knew Ye Qiu, the coach of the Champions League champion and the head coach of a big club like Chelsea. He is the hottest player in European football today. Coach, such a character would lie to him for more than 1000 pounds?
If that's the case, then he's really looking forward to it, because relying on this piece of news, he will be able to eat and drink for the rest of his life.

"By the way, boss!" Ribery thought of something again, "Is the club in charge?"

"Have you ever seen someone under the control of the club?" Ye Qiu asked amusedly.

Ribery wanted to say yes, because he has dormitories in Lille and Boulogne, but he didn't dare to say.

"I heard that you are already married?" Ye Qiu asked casually.

"Yeah!" Ribery couldn't help but think of the scene when he left home, "I'm going to be a father soon."

Ye Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ribery, thinking about his work on moving bricks at the construction site, he could more or less notice something.

Although he and Ribery have only met twice, he feels that this kid is a bit vulgar, with a low level of education, and he doesn't look like a person who is willing to put down his body to move bricks. Now, when he heard him talk about Ye Qiu understood that he was going to be a father.

"Because you don't need a transfer fee, I can give you another signing fee of 1 pounds. I will let the agent help you find several houses. When the team comes back from the training camp in Austria, you can choose the house and go back. Let the wife take it over, make it easier to settle down, and play football with peace of mind in the future."

Franck Ribery was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately understood that this was an extra benefit Ye Qiu gave him, obviously to help him, so he nodded without saying anything, as if he deserved all of this , but in my heart I couldn't help feeling a little warmer in this city that had just finished raining and was a bit chilly.

Signing a club is actually a very simple matter, not as complicated as outsiders imagine.

Generally speaking, clubs have prefabricated several different types of standard contracts in advance, and then make different deletions and modifications according to the negotiation results between players and clubs.

The agent that Ye Qiu found for Ribery was of course Elisa. This is called leaving nothing to outsiders, and the whole signing process was so simple that Ribery wondered if he had read it wrong, because it was done in ten minutes. And then he got a professional contract with a salary of £1 a week.

If this contract is in Boulogne or Ales, it will be the highest salary contract. It is estimated that the club will have to think about it for a long time, but in the Premier League and in London, it is a matter of ten minutes. This made Ribery a little surprised, but also felt that he really came to the right place.

After signing the contract, Ye Qiu asked Roland to take Franck Ribery for a walk around, while he discussed with Elisa about the transfer of Makelele in the office. wanted players.

Of course, if it really doesn't work, he still has another candidate, Albelda of Valencia.

Valencia's strong rise in recent years is inseparable from the pairing of Albelda and Baraja, a pair of double midfielders. Among them, Albelda is a very traditional intercepting midfielder with a sense of position. He was very good. Like Makelele, he relied on consciousness to defend, but also because of this, Ye Qiu had no idea whether his body could cope with the Premier League.

However, Albelda's advantage over Makelele is that he is from Spain, and he is better than Makelele in terms of ball control and handling. But at this point, Chelsea already has Deco and Ronaldo. Dinho, so Ye Qiu's first choice is still Makelele.

"Makelele has conveyed his thoughts to Real Madrid through his agent, either to raise his salary or leave, and according to my contact with Real Madrid, they are not opposed to selling Makelele, because they want It was Vieira!" Eliza analyzed.

Real Madrid's pursuit of Vieira is beyond doubt, because Vieira is the No. 1 midfielder in Florentino's eyes.

Many people think that what Florentino is after is a frontcourt superstar. In fact, he is wrong. What Florentino wants is that Real Madrid has superstars in every position, but Makelele is not. His Compatriot Vieira is.

Therefore, someone in the previous life concluded that Florentino's failure was that after selling Makelele, he failed to buy Vieira.

"You said, if we bring in Makelele, will they bring in Vieira?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

To be honest, Vieira looks down on Chelsea, but he really wants to go to Real Madrid and establish himself as a superstar alongside Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo and others.

Ye Qiu remembered that the transfer of Makelele in the previous life was carried out on the last day of the transfer deadline. There was not enough time for Real Madrid to operate Vieira, so what about now?It's just July, and there is plenty of time, will you buy it?
"Real Madrid's asking price for Makelele is not low!" Eliza curled her lips in a charming and charming way, "2500 million euros."

You know, the transfer fee for a superstar like Beckham is only 3000 million euros. Now that the football market is so sluggish, a lesser-known defensive player like Makelele can ask for as much as 2500 million euros. It's already a sky-high price, who wants to be taken advantage of like this?

But Ye Qiu thought about it, nodded and said, "Promise them!"

"Huh?" Eliza suspected that she had heard wrong.

"Direct offer of 2500 million euros, no counter-offer, one-off deal, I want a quick decision!" Ye Qiu's attitude was very firm.

Is it expensive to buy Makelele for 2500 million?

From Ye Qiu's point of view, it's not expensive at all. If that's the case, there's no need to argue with Real Madrid. If they want to sell it, Chelsea want to buy it. Just be clean and tidy, and pay as much as you want, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Why couldn't Ferguson buy Ronaldinho?
To put it mildly, he is stingy!

Before the end of the season, Ronaldinho was worth less than 1000 million. At that time, if Manchester United offered a tougher price and directly offered 1000 million or a little bit earlier, Paris Saint-Germain probably agreed, even if it later reached 1500 million. When you just throw 2000 million in the past, they will agree.

However, as more and more teams began to invest in the transfer market, as Real Madrid and Barcelona joined the competition, Manchester United found that Ronaldinho's worth had risen, and Paris Saint-Germain began to feel confident.

The process for Chelsea to get Ronaldinho was very simple. Elisa learned about the psychological price of Paris Saint-Germain through various methods, and found that their bottom line was around 2500 million euros, slightly lower than Beckham, so Throw 3000 million euros in the past, and the other party immediately agrees.

Are you being taken advantage of?Maybe a little bit, but the question is, you are talking about Paris Saint-Germain, and you still take such a big risk, just for 500 million euros?Maybe any of these changes will cause Ronaldinho's worth to rise again, and you may not be able to buy it for 3000 million euros.

Sometimes, buying players is like an auction, and killing them directly is more deterrent!
