Chapter 352: Wealthy

For the British media, Gao Han's flight to London is definitely a big deal, and his influence is not even lost to the visit of foreign leaders, and he is given a very high standard of treatment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But Gao Han obviously did not intend to cooperate with them, and after arriving at Heathrow Airport, he did not take the regular passage, but was greeted by the airport personnel, and avoided the media reporters and fans stationed at the scene through the special passage, and left the airport.

However, after making a loop around Heathrow and avoiding reporters and fans, the group made a detour back to Harrington's training ground, a kilometre north of the airport.

As a result, as soon as they arrived at the door, everyone was dumbfounded.

"This is Chelsea's training base?" Gao Han took off his sunglasses and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

It's not like a training ground for a Premier League team at all, but more like a dilapidated warehouse on the outskirts of London.

The road, which looks like it was built just after Abramovich bought the team, stretches from the main road outside Heathrow to the car park at the training ground.

The gate is welded with rusty water pipes, and the security room is a makeshift cover like a tin room.

The training building inside has two floors, it looks like it is some years old, and the exterior walls are already mottled, so it is conceivable that the facilities inside are certainly not much better.

Walking inside, there are a total of four pieces of turf, but only one piece of turf has geothermal and drainage systems installed.

"Good boy, how do you train in the winter?" Lorenzo Buenaventura was dumbfounded.

Atletico Madrid's training ground is relatively poor, but I didn't expect Chelsea to be even worse.

You know, the UK has a lot of rain all year round and a lot of snow in the winter, and without good geothermal and drainage facilities, the team can't train at all.

The staff who greeted them to inspect the training ground also smiled bitterly, "In winter or rainy days, the youth team will stop training, and the first team will train if they can train in the open air, and if it doesn't work, it will be changed to indoor training." ”

Gao Han and the others looked at each other, is this okay?

I'm so convinced!

No wonder England's players are so violent, it turns out that they are all honed by bad conditions!

In fact, with a climate like England, all Premier League teams should at least have an indoor training ground.

But it's clear that even a team like Chelsea is so bad, let alone any other Premier League team.

"What Mr. Abramovich means is that everything is subject to Mr. Gao Han's instructions, and if you have any needs or ideas, you can mention them, and we will do our best to meet them. ”

The staff's statement made Gao Han feel better, otherwise, he really wanted to retreat on the spot.

"You immediately arrange for the overhaul of the geothermal and drainage systems, as well as all the equipment and props for training, and from now on, we will take over the entire training ground. Gao Han gave the first directive.

The staff had already received the arrangement from the management and immediately agreed.

"Carlos, Lorenzo, Pedro, Unai, you take stock as soon as possible, clean up everything that doesn't meet our requirements, and then sort out a list of purchases. ”

The assistants all nodded their heads.

Seeing Chelsea's training ground so dilapidated was a headache for them.

"Sergio, you immediately organize the staff and start forming the analysis team. ”

"Understood, leave it to me. Sergio Garcia laughed.

Gao Han took another deep look at the training ground, shook his head and sighed.

As long as he thinks that he will have to work here for the next two years, the whole person feels big.

Just when Gao Han was frowning and inspecting around the training ground, a text message came in.

"Hello, Mr. Gao Han, welcome to Chelsea. ”

"I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to meet and train under your command and I sincerely hope that we can fight side by side and succeed. ”

The caller for the text message was John Terry.

This text message warmed Gao Han's heart.

John Terry is one of the captains of the team, and after the gradual fading of the French veteran Desailly, he is the homegrown central defender that Chelsea has focused on cultivating.

"He's good. Gao Han smiled.

After reading the text message, Cantarero and Unai Emery next to him also nodded, this Terry is really good.

"Thank you and hope to see you before the camp. After Gao Han got his phone back, he sent a text message back.

Soon, text messages came again.

"Okay, I'm in London, I can do it whenever it's convenient for you. ”

This made Gao Han happy again, "Tomorrow, how's it?"

"Of course. Terry replied, "The location will be arranged at your hotel." ”

"Good. Gao Han understood that Terry knew that he was not familiar with life in London, so he arranged to meet at the hotel.

This kid has a high emotional intelligence, no wonder he was able to become a captain at a young age.

…………

…………

After inspecting the Harrington training ground, Gao Han and his party returned to the hotel.

At lunchtime, Jorge Mendes also arrived in London, and in the afternoon accompanied Gao Han to London to see the house.

After Gao Han came to the Premier League, he must have to live in London, and Lin Xia also applied for a transfer to London, England, but it will take some time, so Gao Han's house in Madrid Lafinca does not plan to sell.

The location of that place is good, the neighbors on the left and right are all political and business celebrities, the players of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid also live in that vicinity, others can't buy it if they want to, Gao Han is not bad for money, and he doesn't plan to sell it, so he will leave it to Lin Xia and Chu Yao to live for the time being.

As for London, Gao Han's original idea was to rent a house, but Mendes suggested buying a house.

The reason is also very good, the rent in high-end residential areas is not cheap, and if you buy a house, you can register a company in the Cayman Islands and other places, and then buy a house in the name of the company, and then reasonably reduce the British personal tax burden.

Gao Han didn't understand how it worked, but there were experts in this area in Mendes' company.

What's more, house prices in London are not expensive right now.

As we all know, buying a house depends on the location.

As one of the world's leading international financial centers, London has attracted the attention of global investors, and the area around Hyde Park in London's West End is undoubtedly the core area of London.

The security is good, the transportation is convenient, the business is prosperous, and everything is very in line with the requirements of the high cold.

As for the level of education, although Gao Han does not consider it, this area has always had the saying of a royal district, and the educational resources are second to none in Europe, so naturally there is no need to say more.

While all the overseas investors are looking at the vicinity of Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Mayfair and Eton Place, Gao Han chose to buy a house in the area of Kensington Palace Garden Street, not because of the high quality of education resources in Europe, but because it is relatively cheaper.

The garden-like boulevard is flanked by traditional buildings that exude an Edwardian atmosphere, which makes Lin Xia extremely satisfied.

The four-storey building, with a total area of more than 1,000 square meters, is located next to Kensington Palace and Hyde Park at the end of the street.

Such a mansion, priced at four million euros, is not cheap.

In the words of the manager of a high-end real estate agency, such a house can cost at least 6 million euros or more if it is placed near Eaton Plaza, and may even be higher.

Moreover, he also swore to Gao Han that in the next few years, house prices in London will definitely rise.

Because Lin Xia had already come to see it once in the company of a friend in London, Gao Han decided to buy it on the spot after taking a look at the house in the afternoon, accompanied by Mendes.

Although the promotional slogan of the agency is to move in with a bag, because there are many places that need to be renovated according to the requirements of Gao Han and Lin Xia, Gao Han has no way to move in for the time being, so he can only continue to live in a nearby hotel, and it is expected to live for another month.

"I learned that the original owner of this house was an IT upstart in the UK, who bought it in 99 and spent more than 2 million euros, and then spent more than 2 million yuan to invite a famous designer friend to decorate the design, but before he could move in, he caught up with the wave of the Internet crash, and his company went bankrupt. ”

In the car back to the hotel, Mendez explained what he had learned.

"At the moment, investors from outside the UK like to buy property in the Knightsbridge area in the south of Hyde Park, and although the western side is also very good, it is not very well-known, especially Kensington Palace, which is not taken seriously, so the price is not high, but it is very cost-effective. ”

Speaking of this, Mendes smiled at Gao Han, "Originally, I was thinking, if you want to buy it, I'll make a move." ”

Gao Han shook his head and smiled, he didn't pay much attention to the place where he lived, anyway, Lin Xia liked it, so he bought it.

"Guess how much Abramovich paid you?" Mendes asked suddenly.

Gao Han frowned, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't guess, how much?"

"This number. Mendez made an eight-to-eight gesture.

"Eight million?" Gao Han was taken aback.

"Annual salary after tax. Mendez nodded.

This made Gao Han breathe, and sure enough, he was rich.

However, Mendes did a good job of returning the blank check at the beginning, kicking the ball back to Abramovich to see how strong his desire for talent really is.

As it turned out, Abramovich did not disappoint, with an annual salary of 8 million euros, which can be described as the first day of football today, which is higher than the original highest Ferguson of 6 million euros.

"The signing fee is also quite a lot, a full 2 million euros, and the prize money for winning the championship is also very generous, 1.5 million euros for a domestic cup, 2 million euros for the League Cup, 3 million euros if you can win the Premier League, and there is an additional bonus if you can win multiple titles at the same time. ”

Mendez smiled shrewdly, and was clearly pleased with the outcome of his negotiations.

Gao Han also nodded appreciatively at him, although the conversation was high, Mendes also had a commission, but he did a pretty good job.

Of course, Abramovich should not feel at a loss, because Gao Han's current value is priceless.

'Roman Abramovich wants to have a meal with you before signing and you can see that he likes your style of coaching and he wants to hear about your team plans. ”

Mendez said this, and looked at Gao Han with concern, "How is it?

Gao Han nodded, "The idea is there, but specifically, I want to understand the situation first." ”

"That's fine, after all, it's new to the school, and you can't make a decision too quickly. Mendes also agreed with Gao Han's idea.

"I made an appointment with Terry to meet tomorrow. ”

"John Terry?"

"Well, I want to use him as a breakthrough to get a feel for the team. ”

Gao Han's task now is very clear, the team needs to be reorganized and recruited, so who will leave and who will stay, he needs to draw up a plan as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
