Chapter 146: A New Home

"Adele, do I have to buy a manor around London?" George said to Adele with a puzzled look on his face in a mansion in London's Kensington district, "I think this house is already quite good now, and the location is quite superior, so I don't need to go to the outskirts of the city to buy a useless manor, right?"

Even though George had lived in England for more than twenty years, his style of conduct was more and more in line with that of a well-educated English gentleman. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But when certain things conflict with the ideas of his previous life, George will still show a different side from other nobles.

"Brother, although I can understand your thoughts, please at least consider other people's opinions. Seeing that George was still reluctant, Adele also sighed with a headache. She finally realized George's unconsciousness in some aspects: "Although the law does not explicitly stipulate that nobles must own a manor house in the suburbs of London, this is the tradition of the English aristocracy, and if you don't do it, you will be despised by the people in the circle." Moreover, with your current situation and status, brother, you don't make an excuse to continue fooling around in this kind of thing as before. ”

George did not buy estates in the suburbs of London, or near Oxford and Cambridge, as was the tradition of the English aristocracy, mainly because he always excused himself from the peculiar nature of his profession as a football coach. After all, as a coach, the location of the job often changes depending on the relationship between the teams you play for. For example, George himself, before acquiring Tottenham Hotspur, he lived in Barcelona, PSV Eindhoven and Manchester for a long time. In such circumstances, he naturally had good reason to shun the tradition and not to buy a manor in the suburbs of London.

Now, George is the owner and manager of Tottenham Hotspur. This meant that George, who had to settle down and work in London for a long time, was destined not to avoid this tradition of the English aristocracy as he had done before. Otherwise, things will be as Adele said, and the maverick George will inevitably attract the dissatisfaction and rejection of the British aristocratic circle.

Although no one would be stupid enough to say such a thing in front of George or really dare to confront him, and compared with a hundred years ago, the influence of the traditional aristocracy in Britain has also declined significantly, but in private, many of George's investments and industries in the UK will definitely be hindered to varying degrees, and even Tottenham Hotspur, which he personally controls, will be negatively affected to a certain extent!

As cruel as it may be, it is true. Although these traditional aristocrats are far inferior to George in terms of strength and personal assets, when these people gather together, even if they are not connected to each other, even George has to pay attention to their energy.

This is the main reason why the British royal family suggested that George buy Kensington Palace - compared to other traditional aristocrats who already owned large estates in the suburbs of London, George, who was young and had no similar property in his name, was simply the perfect person to take over!

You must know that although the British royal family is not short of wealth, and the assets under its name are worth tens of billions of pounds, in fact, most of these assets of the British royal family are unrealizable real estate and various works of art, and the amount of cash that can be mobilized is pitiful. The cost of travel for members of the royal family, as well as the maintenance of many palaces and castles under their name, is a significant expense every year, which has caused a considerable financial burden on the British royal family. Therefore, the British royal family will take the initiative to ask George to take over Kensington Palace this time.

“…… All right. Then this matter will be left to Adele, and you will be responsible. Seeing Adele's perseverance, George, who realized that he couldn't avoid this problem, had no choice but to nod and agree to his sister's proposal, "But Adele, there is one thing I have to make clear first, that is, I must not agree to the royal family's request to buy that Kensington Palace! The situation of that palace is too special to buy it before I have enough fame...... I am afraid that your brother and I will be roasted on the fire and be the target of everyone. ”

As the former residence of Princess Diana, Kensington Palace has a very special place in the hearts of the British people. Therefore, if George is not famous, it is easy to attract people's criticism. And the British media, which has always liked to make waves, will definitely make a big fuss about this matter and bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to George.

Therefore, for this proposal of the British royal family, George did not choose to agree immediately. On the one hand, it was because the purchase of Kensington Palace was too big a thing, and it would certainly attract people's attention at that time, which was not the result he wanted to see as a man who liked to make a fortune quietly, and on the other hand, because the conditions offered by the British royal family were really unacceptable to George. Since you can't make ends meet and can't afford the daily maintenance of Kensington Palace, then you can just sell Kensington Palace to me, why add an additional clause that requires the royal family to still have the right to use the palace after that?

The cost of maintenance and renovation is fully borne by his side, and the royal family continues to have the right to live here, such a thing that fools and wrongdoers are willing to agree.

"Of course, there is no problem with this. Seeing that George had finally made concessions on this, Adele was finally relieved. "I also don't think Kensington Palace is a suitable choice. That's where you're going to spend the two-person world with Sister Ellie, so it's a matter of letting those royals bother every once in a while. ”

"As things stand, I feel that Boyd Layden Estate, located off Highway 17, is a very good fit. Not only does Boyd Layden have a long history, it's not too far from London, it's the most luxurious and modern estate in the suburbs, but it's also intimate enough to be prepared to be virtually safe from prying eyes. Now that the matter has been decided, Adele immediately came up with the plan she had already prepared, "Of course, before that, I have to ask Ellie's opinion. ”

Although George and Elizabeth are not currently married, Elizabeth Hood, who is already in a fiancée relationship with George, can also be seen as the future mistress of the estate. Therefore, it is naturally necessary for Adele to win Elizabeth's approval before making a final decision. If the latter doesn't agree, then Adele will need to pick a new estate.

At the same time that George was urging Adele to preliminarily finalize his new home in London, Bobby Robson, who had been at home since being sacked by Newcastle, finally made a decision - after careful consideration, the veteran coach agreed to George's invitation to take on the role of youth director of Tottenham Hotspur FC!
