Egret Island in July is still in the long summer, and if you want to feel the coolness of autumn, you will have to wait until after the National Day.

But on the Apennine Peninsula, it's late summer.

The Mediterranean Sea is embedded between the Eurasian continent and the African continent, creating a Mediterranean climate zone with no heat in summer and no rain in winter.

Such a mild climate is obviously suitable for human activities, as early as thousands of years ago, human civilization was born in the Mediterranean region, ancient Egypt and ancient Greece developed into the four ancient civilizations of human beings.

However, the Mediterranean climate is not so friendly and friendly for flora and fauna.

As we all know, plants depend on the sun to grow, and animals depend on plants to grow, and both of these are inseparable from water as the source of life. Fortunately, after hundreds of millions of years of natural selection, the flora and fauna here have a unique ability to adapt to the climate. In the case of plants, they have generally evolved succulent leaves to resist the intense summer sun and scarce rainfall, and some herbaceous plants have given up the abundant solar energy in summer to fight the dry heat by sleeping heavily.

Autumn bulbous flowers such as hyacinths, tulips, daffodils, and saffron are native to the Mediterranean coast, and their common feature is that they choose to program withering in the summer season, which should be a season of lush vegetation, and transfer nutrients to the underground rhizomes, and then sprout and bloom again when the temperature drops in autumn, and then grow and accumulate nutrients to continue the new cycle.

Of course, the unique topography of the Apennine Peninsula has endowed this land with a more diverse climate and food sources, so that people here can develop a splendid gastronomic culture instead of relying on onions for food.

In addition to its own grain production, the Apennine Peninsula's deep ocean, surrounded by sea on three sides, and the Mediterranean's less windy and rough sea conditions made Italy have excellent shipping conditions, and the rise of the Roman Empire also contributed to the convenience of shipping. In modern times, the developed sea transportation has made it easier for them to accept grain from Eastern Europe and North America, and their own land can be used to grow cash crops such as grapes and flowers.

Milan is located in the northwestern part of the Apennine Peninsula, with the Alps to the north, and you can even look out over the snow-capped mountains in the north when you step out of the airport.

This European fashion and art capital, a football city, is not only home to the world-famous Milan Fashion Week, but also the historic Inter Milan and AC Milan, as well as the ongoing 2015 Food Expo, oh no, the 2015 World Expo.

In fact, it is not too wrong to say that it is a food expo, because the theme of this Milan World Expo is "nourishing the earth, life energy", which is the first time in the history of the World Expo to introduce the theme of food, food, food, and food industry will inevitably become the protagonist of this World Expo, and it is no problem to say that the Food Expo is no problem.

In fact, since the opening in May, many exhibitors have brought "irrelevant" content such as flight simulators and industrial machinery, but there are many more food-related exhibits. The only thing that makes foodies feel unhappy is that the industrial tradition of the World Expo makes the exhibitors mainly industrial and commercial enterprises, and many exhibitions are big shows of technology, taking out a bunch of food that they can see, touch and smell to tempt them, but repeatedly destroying their thick nerves with the cold reality that they can't eat.

Naturally, bees are indispensable in this, and their Dream Walker NR food virtual reality technology can be said to be shining and showy this time, technology fans cheer happily, artists and literati lament that there is no real thing to eat in the future, and the noise is not lively.

Fortunately, not all exhibition areas can not be eaten, you must know that the grudge of foodies can kill, so there are also many "sincere" exhibitors who brought selected ingredients and smart chefs to make zuò on the spot, taste and taste for cultural promotion. The food and beverage services inside and outside the venue are all available, and everyone does not have to worry about having nowhere to fill the empty and lonely stomach.

It is said that one out of every five visitors is a compatriot from China, much higher than the 6% proportion expected by the organizers, which is of course due to the economic recession, the Syrian refugee problem, and the protest of 10,000 people on the opening day affecting the travel plans of European and American tourists, but it also confirms the deep belief of the citizens of our big foodie empire in eating one way.

When the Milan city government announced its bid to host the World Expo, the United States had not yet detonated the subprime mortgage crisis; when it won the right to host the Expo in 08, Greece across the Ionian Sea had not yet paid its debts; when the Shanghai-Shanghai World Expo set an unprecedented 73 million visitors in 10 years, the US military had not yet left Iraq, and the Syrian civil war had not yet broken out......

It can only be said that the world is impermanent, and the exhibition economy is not something that everyone can afford.

The good news is that the opponents of "don't want the Expo, eat enough and be rich" seem to have inherited the tradition of "pasta", and although there was a big scene of 30,000 people on the first day, they themselves became chaotic because of political discord, and then disappeared invisibly, and did not affect domestic and foreign tourists.

According to the original plan, Zhang Xuyao was ready to contribute the entire May Day holiday to the handsome Milanese guy and pasta, but because of the relationship between participating in the dream realization plan, it did not happen in the end.

However, she did not suffer a loss, the whole exhibition lasted for half a year, and although she missed the big battle inside and outside the venue on the first day of the opening a month or two late, the impact was not great.

And the trip is postponed for two months, not without benefits, first of all, she has a whole summer vacation to relax, play as long as she wants, but unfortunately this year's film festival and fashion week have been in school for half a month, but there is no way to see handsome guys and beauties, a little regret.

Secondly, the result of delaying it until the summer is that her original planned backpack self-guided tour has been upgraded to a luxury vacation tour, not only there is a special plane to pick up and drop off back and forth, but also the big boss said that the food and accommodation during the trip abroad is all-inclusive, and it is also a good opportunity for her embroidered wallet to get back blood and gain weight, and it is far away from the tragic future of the girl who eats soil.

For example, now, her residence in Milan is not the favorite youth hostel of literary and artistic youth, but Atletico Madrid's home on the outskirts of Milan. Sitting under a rooftop parasol, she only needs to look up to see the snow in the northern Alps, and the environment is naturally not comparable to that of a youth hostel with many people.

To be precise, this house actually belongs to CH Online Rental Company, but as the promoter and major shareholder of the company, it makes sense to say that the house is owned by Atletico Madrid.

Due to the economic downturn in Europe, the number of housing transactions and transaction prices have both fallen, and the corresponding rental market has become active, especially online rental apps such as Airbnb and CLIE are especially popular with young people, and the latter have also taken advantage of the decline in housing prices to start acquiring potential properties to expand their asset scale. Although the fluctuations in housing prices and stock prices here are not as drastic as those in the history of Hong Kong Island, the fact that ordinary people hate crises and rich people love shocks is consistent.

The afternoon sun is clear and clear, the nearby rooftops, the farmland in the suburbs in the distance and the mountains at the end of the line of sight seem to constitute a natural gouache painting.

Zhang Xuyao doesn't know Italian, but fortunately, there are English newspapers in the local area, so basically there is no problem with reading, but if you can't do it, you can also look up the dictionary on your mobile phone.

And in front of the report, even if she doesn't look at the content, she can get a rough idea just by looking at the pictures.

The picture shows a sideways portrait of a young man, his brow slightly furrowed as if he was hesitating which one to buy, and the objects that made him hesitate to buy were a round logo with white letters on a gold background and a red oval sign.

Even a pseudo-fan like Zhang Xuyao can easily recognize the two logos as the city's two football business cards: Inter Milan and AC Milan, and the "buyer" is of course Atletico Madrid, who is playing with a child not far in front of her.

After reading the whole content, she looked up and asked, driven by curiosity, "Brother, is it true that this newspaper says that you plan to buy a team?"

"Fake. ”

"You really don't plan to buy it?"

"I'm full of food and running to buy a team, giving money to Italians for fun?"

"But doesn't this mean that you went to the Meazza Stadium that day to inspect and secretly meet with the executives of the two clubs, so you can't buy a few veterans to go back to play in the second division, right?"

After a pause, Zhang Xuyao said: "Actually, I think it's not bad to buy a team, you can gain the goodwill of fans and users, and expand the popularity of you and your company, which should be of great benefit to CH, right?"

"What if I buy one and the fans of the other treat me as a mortal enemy? I'm not that stupid. ”

Putting his son, who was still thinking and struggling in his arms, on the ground, Atletico Madrid said leisurely: "I really just went to visit Meazza at that time, and the delegation that followed me also looked at the design and operation of the stadium, and the managers of the two teams were completely uninvited. ”

"Ahhh

"Hehe, use each other and take what you need, anyway, it's the fans who are consumed, not me. ”

Atletico Madrid flew to Milan with his family, and the main purpose was really just a vacation, except for going to the World Expo site to visit the employees of his company and attending several charity dinners, his activities can be said to be very simple.

Then someone suddenly appeared at the Meazza Stadium, which naturally attracted a series of reports from the local media and even the domestic media.

Speaking of which, as the most popular reporter of the world's number one sport, football journalists tend to be the most entertaining. In order to get enough coverage to attract fans, they don't mind learning a few tricks from Yuji, and it is not uncommon for tail lines to take candid shots and speculate nonsense in this industry.

Atletico initially did not attract the attention of fans, tourists and off-field reporters, until executives from Milan's two big clubs rushed in to meet with them, and the young Oriental caught the attention of reporters. Then I took pictures and searched for pictures, and naturally recognized him. Then the gossip report "Oriental Rich Secret Meeting Management, Where Are the Two Teams Going to Buy?" made headlines in the sports section of local newspapers and was reprinted back home at breakneck speed.

In this regard, Boss Ma just wanted to say, "You guys really think too much, I really just go to inspect the stadium and learn the renovation and expansion techniques, okay?"

As the home stadium of AC Milan and Inter Milan's two city rivals, the rectangular stadium with four large pillars has naturally become a spiritual mecca for both fans, and is famous among fans and pseudo-fans.

Founded in 1926 when Mussolini was the prime minister of the Kingdom, the San Siro Stadium has undergone many modernizations, from a simple stadium of 10,000 people to a modern stadium with a capacity of more than 80,000 people, and was renamed Meazza in the 80s (named after Inter star Giuseppe Meazza in the 30s).

Although they are dissatisfied with the shared stadium and want to find a place to build their own stadium and "separate" themselves, they have still not been able to do so for decades. It can only be comforted by the method of calling each name, so Inter Milan's home Meazza and AC Milan's home San Siro are actually the same stadium.

Football clubs have a history and fame, but most of them don't make much money, and in order to attract big-name players and well-known coaches, they have to invest heavily in wages and logistics, basically spending as much as they earn, and even borrowing to get by. Even a giant like Milan is going to have a hard time building a stadium on its own.

In particular, in 06 years, the giants manipulated the game to play match-fixing "Serie A phonegate" incident broke out, and then the European debt crisis hit the eurozone economy hard, making the former "small World Cup" reputation of Serie A scenery no longer exists, the Champions League quota has decreased, income has plummeted, not only small and medium-sized clubs have a hard time, even the former Milan double heroes have also become the "Milan double bear" hated by fans because of the decline in performance.

Poor grades naturally have to find a reason to prescribe an antidote, and the most common solution is to sell and sell, change to a local tyrant boss like Abu and the Middle East consortium who is willing to spend money, and the club's results will naturally go up. So the local media have been actively helping Mr. Berlusconi and Mr. Moratti to find suitable buyers, and Atletico Madrid is not the first rich man to be rumored to have an affair with Milan.

However, Atletico Madrid did not suffer, and the news exposure they gained from it, not to mention it, was earned simply by allowing the people they brought to take a closer look at the stadium.

For him, the nearly 90-year history of the course, especially the lessons learned from the previous renovation and expansion, is the most valuable. Whether it's the bees building their own stadium or the bees designing a soccer game, there's something to be gained from it. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
