It was raining in the middle of the night, but London was still brightly lit and full of pedestrians. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Especially on the way from Heathrow Stadium to Stamford Bridge, with the dazzling street lights, watching the pedestrians walking slowly on both sides, and the bars where business is booming, this is the first time Hu Li has felt the scenery of London after midnight.

They all said that the British like to walk, which is true, even if it is raining, but they still walk slowly on the street, and even a few Yu Crisp did not even have an umbrella, just like this in the rain, looking very excited, probably because of the drink in a nearby bar.

Speaking of pubs, this has become a kind of British culture, especially around the Chelsea area, which is basically inhabited by the rich, white-collar workers and the middle class, plus the home stadium of Chelsea and Fulham is not far apart, Fulham's home stadium is close to the Thames, and the surrounding area can be said to be full of bars.

Ye Qiu was new to London and was not very familiar with London, what he knew better was the road from Heathrow to Stamford Bridge.

London can be said to be at a premium, especially in Kensington and Chelsea districts, where land is even more valuable, so although Stamford Bridge, which made Chelsea, is located in the wealthy area of London, it is surrounded by all kinds of buildings, and there is no room for expansion and development.

Another way to see the crowding at Stamford Bridge is that the team's museum and club shop are not arranged at the more prominent entrance to the stadium, as is the case with other clubs, but are arranged at the back of the stadium.

In other words, fans have to go around the stadium to buy something in the store.

There is also no parking at Stamford Bridge, so parking is prohibited, even the club's vehicles can only be parked behind the pitch, and even parking spaces are scarce in a small parking lot next to the shops.

Security guards are on duty every evening at Stamford Bridge, and the office is located on the ground floor of the stadium's main entrance.

When Hu Li arrived, the headlights shone into the office, and then he heard the roar of a Ferrari stop at the door.

"Mr. Hu Li" The security captain who was on duty at night walked out of the office, saw Ye Qiu get out of the car, ran over quickly to avoid the rain, and pointed inside, "He said that his name is Frank Ribery, he is a professional footballer, and he is from France. ”

After speaking, the security guard shrugged his shoulders and quietly leaned over to Ye Qiu's side, "Although he does have a jersey and sneakers on him, why does he not look like him, and ...... He came on foot."

"Walking?" Hu Li was stunned, although the UK calls in advance to make reservations, but it is not used at the airport and some bus stops, the purpose is to facilitate these foreign tourists.

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

This security guard also knows how to stop in moderation, and he originally planned to say, is such a big scar the underworld?

Hu Li didn't care, walked into the security guard's duty office, and saw Ribery sitting inside, with a bag of luggage beside him, looking up at him, and waited until Hu Li came over, he stood up.

"Didn't I give you my number?" Hu Li wanted to laugh when he saw him dressed like a chicken in soup.

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

Hu Li raised his eyebrows, smiled, "Let's go" and turned around and left.

"Where to go?" Ribery grabbed his luggage and followed him out.

Hu Li shook his head with a smile, "Are you planning to live here tonight?" ”

Out of the door of the duty office, Ribery was immediately frightened by the fiery red Ferrari in front of him, he is also a car lover, at a glance recognized this is a Ferrari limited edition Enzo, the most exclusive sports car, only Ferrari's high-end customers have the opportunity to buy, limited to 399 units worldwide, it can be said that it is the dream lover of all car lovers.

"What's the fuss? Get in the car" Hu Li had already opened the car door and sat in.

Ribery stood cautiously and watched, his eyes wandering around, but he didn't open the door and sat in.

"Get in the car, what?" Hu Li wondered, this kid was weird.

Ribery was standing there a little confused, he could already feel the group of security guards behind him laughing, "You open the door." ”

Hu Li almost lost his voice suddenly, it turned out that this kid didn't know how to open the door, "There is no handle, the one in the gap behind the door is concave, you can open it with your hand in it"

Ribery followed Hu Li's words, reached in, grabbed hard, and the Eurowing door slowly rose, which made him feel as if he was in a science fiction world, and then he deliberately patted his clothes, as if to pat off the dust, and then sat in, but he couldn't close the door, so he could only stand up a little more before closing the door.

"It's trouble," Ribery grumbled, but his eyes were looking around like a thief, as if everything in the car was so new to him that he never dared to imagine himself in such a car before.

Hu Li smiled a little vanity, and slowly drove out, "Why did you come on foot?" It can't be from Boulogne across the English Channel and swim, right? After saying that, he laughed.

Ribery sighed, "I came by plane, I called a taxi, told him he was going to Chelsea, and told me a lot of them, and I didn't know where to go, just dropped them down and left, and I was depressed. ”

Frankly speaking, this French kid's English is not too bad, and there is no problem with daily communication, presumably other problems.

"And then?" Hu Li asked with a smile.

"I couldn't get a taxi, I couldn't find a place, so I asked people along the way" Ribery shrugged his shoulders, looking very open, but Hu Li listened to it, and felt that there was a little bitterness in his words.

Just imagine, a person alone in a strange city, unfamiliar with the place, in the middle of the night on the street looking for people to ask for directions, the misery can be imagined, because even in the United Kingdom, don't think how friendly the people here will be, especially when they see Ribery's face, they must be avoided.

"Who told you to throw my business card?" Hu Li scolded with a smile.

Ribery was taken aback, "I accidentally lost it, not threw it," he reminded with great emphasis.

He thought about it along the way, throwing and throwing are two completely different concepts, and he made up his mind, and he didn't admit that he threw it to death.

"For me, it's all the same," Hu Li said with a smile.

Ribery didn't hesitate, let him speak, turned his head sideways, and looked at the flowery world of London and the bustling night scene, full of surprise.

It was the first time in his life that he had come to such a bustling world-class metropolis, and everything was new to him.

The car slowly left the city and came to the Skyline Hotel near Heathrow Airport.

Located next to Heathrow Airport and only a kilometre from Harrington's training base, Hu Li chose to stay at his villa in Totridge before it was renovated.

Because most of them are airport passengers, so the hotel is an hourly service, Hu Li took Ribery to have a midnight meal, opened a room for him, let him take a shower, and sleep comfortably.

"I've raised enough jīng gods, follow me to the training base tomorrow"

In the end, Hu Li said this sentence that stabilized Ribery and gave him a comfortable night's sleep.

The next morning I saw Ribery in the hotel restaurant.

Hu Li informed the waiter at the hotel and asked Ribery to wake up and go directly to the restaurant to find him, and when this kid arrived, Cheryl was about to make an announcement, and the two just took a face-to-face, but this stinky boy was dumbfounded.

"Boss, your girlfriend is so pretty" Ribery was amazed.

Hu Li raised his coffee cup to hide his pride, this stinky boy knows how to pat himself on the back.

Hu Li is also weird, he doesn't like to pat him directly, but indirectly pat him on the ass, he is quite frustrated.

"By the way, do you have an agent?" Hu Li asked casually.

"Yes," Ribery said as he munched on bread, "but when he was in Ales, he didn't get paid and ran away with someone else."

Hu Li took a sip of coffee and almost sprayed it out directly in front of him, why did this kid say that the agent seemed to have eloped with someone.

"As usual, I'll have to take you to the Harrington training base, the conditions are terrible, but they're improving, and we've bought a plot of land nearby, we'll move in a year, and we'll be in Austria for this summer's training camp, and if you don't have a problem, I'll give you an agent."

"By the way, how did you sign your agreement?"

"£5,000 a week, plus appearance fees, winning bonuses, goal bonuses, championship bonuses and league standings, if you perform well, the salary can go up, and I will give you a new contract this time next year, depending on my performance"

Hu Li heard him say this and nodded.

"You're someone I like, there's no problem with your talent, there's no problem with your ability, and then you have to integrate into the team as soon as possible. A lot of talented players didn't play, the key is that they lack perseverance and perseverance, I hope you can persevere, I will accompany you all the way. ”

Ribery nodded vigorously, with this Champions League-winning coach, and the manager of a big club like Chelsea, the hottest manager in European football today, such a figure teaches that he must work harder.

"By the way, boss," Ribery thought of something again, "is the club in charge?" ”

"Have you ever seen a club keep it?" Hu Li asked funny.

Ribery was tempted to say yes, as he had dormitories in Lille and Boulogne, but he didn't dare to say so.

"I heard, you're married?" Hu Li asked casually.

"Hmm," Ribery remembered when he left home, "I'm going to be a father soon." ”

Hu Li was slightly stunned, and then looked at Ribery, thinking about his moving bricks at the construction site, he could more or less detect something.

Although he and Ribery have only met twice, he feels that this kid is a bit unruly, his education level is not high, and he doesn't look like a person who is willing to put down his body to move bricks, and now, when he heard him say that he was going to be a father, Hu Li understood a little.

"Because you don't need a transfer fee, I can give you another £100,000 signing fee, and I will ask the agent to help you find several houses, and when the team comes back from training in Austria, you can pick a house, go back and take your wife over, settle down and play football with peace of mind."

Ribery was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood that this was an additional benefit given to him by Hu Li, obviously helping him, and he didn't say anything, nodding his head, as if all this was what he deserved, but he couldn't help but feel a little warmer in his heart for this city that had just finished raining and was a little cool.

Signing for a club is actually a very simple thing and not as complicated as outsiders think.

Generally speaking, clubs have pre-programmed several different types of standard contracts in advance, and then make different changes depending on the outcome of negotiations between the player and the club.

Hu Li told Kenyon about Ribery's situation, and Kenyon was also a generous person. Ten minutes later, a staff member delivered a cheque for £10. Ribery was moved to tears at the time.
