Chapter 55: Viewing the House
After getting up, Gao Zheng received a call from his agent Viviano, telling him that he had made an appointment to see the house today, and asked him to hurry up and wash up and have breakfast.
You can't always live in a hotel, but Gao Zheng can't just rent an apartment building with many other residents like he did in Sampdoria.
As he became more and more famous and wealthy, it became less and less likely that he would continue to live so close to the people. The simplest security issues are not guaranteed.
It is not without kidnappers kidnapping football stars, or kidnapping football stars' family members, to extort money.
For the sake of his own safety, Gao Zheng also has to live in a decent house.
In fact, not only the house, Viviano is now particularly important to Gao Zheng's safety. Considering that the players always have to take various means of transportation, Viviano bought a very high amount of traffic accident insurance for Gao Zheng, and also insured his two legs, which is very expensive.
Gao Zheng, who had cleaned up, went downstairs and saw his agent Viviano, and a middle-aged man beside him, looking very temperamental in a straight suit.
"This is Mr. Correa, the agent who showed us the house." Viviano explained.
After shaking hands with Gao Zheng, Correa took out a newspaper like a trick, which was the "Marca" newspaper that just came out this morning, and the cover was the scene where Gao Zheng made a celebratory gesture of "sit down and operate normally" to the Bernabeu stands after scoring the second goal.
"Could you please sign this paper, sir?" The real estate agent with a good temperament smiled a little flatteringly......
Gao Zheng and Viviano were stunned.
"I forgot to mention, I'm a die-hard competitive fan." Correa said.
Gao Zheng was a little strange: "I thought that someone like you who specializes in luxury real estate agents should be Real Madrid fans......"
"Of course, class-wise, the fans of Athletic are all working-class and don't have much money. But it's not absolute, sir. I used to live in Seongnam and my whole family was a supporter of athletics, but I have improved my life and that of my family through my own hard work, and although my family has moved out of Seongnam, we don't change our faith just because we have money. Correa explained. Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Mr. Augustine, the number one member of our athletic race, who once said: 'At the age of sixty-three, I quit smoking. When I was 70 years old, I quit after-dinner drinking. Then I used all my will to abstain from pre-dinner wine, salt, coffee, gambling and cards. However, I can't quit only competition for the rest of my life. So no matter what happens to us as competitive fans, it doesn't change what we are as competitive fans. ”
Correa was proud when he repeated the words of Augustin, the number one member of Atletico Madrid.
Viviano clapped his hands lightly, "That's a good point, Mr. Correa." But I'm curious, what do you do when you feed Real Madrid players to serve? ”
"I will not reveal my beliefs. And this does not prevent me from serving them in my profession, rest assured, I am a very professional intermediary. Correa blinked.
When Gao Zheng signed his name on the newspaper brought by Correa and took a photo with Correa, the three of them got into Correa's car together.
The Champions League group stage against Olympiacos is three days away today, but Simeone still gave all the Atletico Madrid players who participated in the game a day off.
Gao Zheng planned to use this day to get the house done, and he didn't have any more time to waste looking for a house. For him, as long as he finds something satisfactory, he can directly settle down, so he will not shop around and find other intermediaries to compare prices.
Time is also very expensive for him.

"Today we are going to La Finka, the closest affluent area to Mahada Honda, the training base of Athletic. There is also a very good house in another place, in Moralera, but it is too far away from Mahadaunda, but it is closer to Real Madrid's training base, Real Madrid Sports City, so there are a lot of Real Madrid players living there. While driving, Correa introduced to Gao Zheng.
"But the Lafunca we are going to has a lot of Real Madrid players living here, it's actually far from the Real Madrid training base, but it can still attract so many Real Madrid players to live here, which shows how good the houses there are. Of course, Mr. Gao's teammates live the most, and many competitive players choose to live here...... Torres' house is here, now rented to Toni Kroos, a Real Madrid player. ”
"It's still a place where Real Madrid players come to live?" Gao Zheng is very strange, he chose Lafinka to see the house because it is the closest to Mahada Ongda, where the training base is located, for him, a novice driver who has just obtained his driver's license, it is close to the distance of driving, if he wants to pass through half of Madrid to reach the training base, it will be too torturous for this novice driver.
"Of course, Real Madrid's number one star Cristiano Ronaldo is stuck at Rafinaka!" Correa explained.
Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment: "I thought he would live in Moralega......
"That says a lot about how good Lafinka is, right? I'm sure you'll be satisfied! ”

“…… Unlike Moralega, Lafinca is more of a purely residential area with no public spaces, parks, terraces or bars. Quiet, safe and absolutely private. If you live here, you don't have to worry about paparazzi ambushing your door, waiting to take a picture of you coming out of your clothes and throwing garbage......" Speaking of this, Correa glanced at Gao Zheng through the rearview mirror, and added: "Of course, you don't have to come out to throw garbage in person, living in such a big house, you always need to ask someone to take care of it......"
At this moment, they were already driving on the internal road of La Finca, and there were villas with front and rear gardens every hundred meters on both sides of the road. Most of them are similar in shape, but the most notable feature is that each villa has a long swimming pool in the backyard.
In addition to this, there are many green spaces and wastelands.
"The wasteland is where villas are going to be built, and it's been bought...... Correa explains.
"It's hard to see cars parked on the side of the road here because they're all in garages." Correa continued to drive while introducing Gao Zheng and the others that there were indeed very few cars on the road, so he could keep looking around while driving and work part-time as a tour guide.
"The houses here have security fences and security cameras, and voila, there's a ...... up there"
Following Correa's finger, Gao Zheng and Viviano did see a camera.
"Here, every corner is under effective surveillance, so it's absolutely safe here. In addition to the stars, Lafinka is also home to managers of large corporations and multinational corporations, as well as political party leaders and multimillionaires......"
Then Correa suddenly pointed to a villa diagonally in front of him and said, "Look, that's Cristiano Ronaldo's house." ”
As he said this, Gao Zheng and Viviano cast their eyes over at the same time, and a building that was obviously larger than the other villas around them appeared in their field of vision, and the courtyard inside the high wall could not be seen, but the roof of the villa could be seen.
Although along the way, Gao Zheng found that this area is full of luxury villas, but Cristiano Ronaldo's villa is still more luxurious than others.
Nowadays, the courtyard of Cristiano Ronaldo's villa is quiet, and I don't know if there is anyone.
Suddenly, Gao Zheng pointed to the courtyard next to this villa and asked, "Is there anyone living here?" ”
