Volume 1 Chapter 112 The Door God Who Passed by
With the increasing prosperity of the new south-eastern city in the past two years, the entire motorway network of Amsterdam has also been rolled out.
The highway where Detokmost is located is called the A2, and further east, the highway along the shore of Lake Hoy is called the A1, both of which are important transportation hubs in Amsterdam to connect several towns in the south, for example, the A2 is south to Brechren, Marsen and Utrecht, and the A1 is to connect Wisp, Naarden, Laren, and there is a very popular and popular Ajax player and many people live in Shiversam.
Sitting in an Audi car driving fast on the A1 highway, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu, who sat in the back seat, had the greatest feeling of the scenery of the suburbs of Amsterdam was the natural countryside, and everywhere you could see the iconic green meadows of the Netherlands, as well as the pastures with cows.
"Naarden has also been very popular with some people in recent years, and the housing prices here are not very high yet, but the environment is really good!" Eliza drove in front, and for this trip to Shiversum, she specially used the Audi A4 of the driving company to serve as a driver for Ye Qiu.
The damn guy hasn't gotten his driver's license yet, because he even said he didn't have time to learn to drive.
But the problem is, he's rushing over to buy a Ferrari now, I'll take it!
"I've heard that there used to be a lot of players living in Shiversam!" Ye Qiu had heard about it when he rented a house before.
Eliza nodded, "There are indeed a lot of people living in Shiversam, the housing prices there are not expensive, but the environment is quite good, to be honest, Amstelveen is too close to the city, a bit annoying, many people don't like there." ”
This is also a very different place between Europeans and Chinese, Chinese like to be lively, eating, doing things, life must be lively, prosperous, that is called enjoyable, but Europeans are more self-centered, so they like quiet, many people live in the suburbs, and then drive to the city every day to work.
So, comparatively speaking, places like Nardeng, Shiversam are very popular.
There are two motorway exits in Shiversam, one on the A1 motorway to the east of town, but the other on the A27, which requires you to turn west onto the A27 after Shiversum.
Ferrari currently has only one authorised dealer in the Netherlands, and the 4S shop is in the Silversam, and coincidentally, it's right next door to the home of the Silversam, which is very close.
Unlike some domestic luxury car 4S shops that Ye Qiu had seen in his previous life, which liked to be built on the side of the road, the road where Ferrari is located is very narrow, with two-way lanes, but it can only be used for two cars in parallel, and it is surrounded by residential areas, not commercial areas.
When Ye Qiu arrived at this 4S store, he was surprised to find that this place was really amazing.
"I'll it, Jaguar, Maserati, Ferrari, ......" Ye Qiu was a little funny, several big brands were actually under the agency of this dealer, which was amazing.
The 4S shop is a two-storey building with a parking lot in the middle, Jaguar on the left, a maintenance service station on the right, and Ferrari and Maserati on the right.
"Hello!" As soon as the car stopped, a middle-aged man in a straight suit walked out.
One of the things that is different from China in Europe is that it is not popular to invite some beautiful girls to greet guests.
"Mr. Ye?" As soon as the sales manager saw Ye Qiu, he was immediately taken aback.
Ye Qiu smiled, "Hello! ”
"Please come in, please come in!" The sales manager immediately politely invited Ye Qiu into the sales hall.
The hall is simply decorated, but the venue is very large, with a lot of space between the stands, a few Ferrari and Maserati sports cars, and each car has a vertical sign in front of it that introduces the various models of the car and some data.
"Welcome, Mr. Ye!"
When Ye Qiu walked into the sales hall, a middle-aged Dutch man who looked like he should be of a higher level walked out, looking a little excited, and stretched out his hand towards Ye Qiu from a distance, very enthusiastic.
After the introduction, Ye Qiu learned that he was the general manager of this 4S store.
A few people circled around several cars, and the sales manager was very patient with each car to introduce the performance and data, and of course, the price, and from his words, it can be seen that he has a very professional understanding of these sports cars.
Maserati's sports car is very good, but the shape is not very pleasing to Ye Qiu, and they have two Maserati here, both of which are relatively average, especially for Ye Qiu, a fan who is used to seeing all kinds of supercars in his previous life, Maserati's car can be said to be old-fashioned.
On the contrary, it was Ferrari, Ye Qiu had already selected it from the Internet, and he wanted a hardtop Ferrari 550.
Compared with other countries in Europe, buying a car in the Netherlands is relatively expensive, because in addition to paying 19% value-added tax, you also have to pay additional motor vehicle tax, which makes the price of the car in the Netherlands higher than that of other countries, and the German car, which has always been known for its cost performance, has always been the sales champion of the Dutch car market.
And in the Netherlands, most people buy a car as a tool, and there are very few people who pursue luxury cars, especially Ferrari.
But there is a good saying, everyone has a Ferrari in their hearts, and Ye Qiu is no exception.
I have seen a lot of pictures on the Internet, but it is the first time to touch the body of the assembly line in reality, which makes Ye Qiu very excited, and it just so happens that the general manager of this store has a Ferrari 360, so he proposed to let Ye Qiu give it a try.
"He hasn't gotten his driver's license yet!" Eliza was smiling from ear to ear over there, but she couldn't wait to see Ye Qiu embarrassed.
Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows, yes, I don't have it, but my wife does, so he took the key and stuffed it into Huang Chu's hand, "Ah Chu, you come and drive me out of the house to blow the wind!" ”
It's depressing, and at the same time I went to take the driver's license, but Huang Chu got it for a long time, but Ye Qiu didn't even take the theory test.
"Me?" Huang Chu was taken aback, she got her driver's license, but she had never driven a car.
"What are you afraid of, there is insurance!" Ye Qiu's words almost made the general manager fall headlong, that was his heart and soul baby.
When he arrived at the parking lot, he found the red Ferrari 360 convertible, Ye Qiu circled the car, and the owner was cautious, in a cold sweat, he introduced the various functions of the car to Huang Chu, and said it in great detail and carefully, for fear that if he was not careful, Huang Chu would wipe his baby bump.
"Really let me drive?" Huang Chu looked at Ye Qiu pitifully, she had no bottom in her heart.
"Don't be afraid, get in the car!" After speaking, Ye Qiu had finished drooling and sat down.
After Huang Chu sat up, he lit the fire, and suddenly there was a huge roar, coming from behind him, and the whole person seemed to be in the F1 racing track, as if something in his body was ignited.
This time, Huang Chu was not polite, he went directly to the automatic mode, lightly refueled, and the car moved forward.
"Wow, that's so sensitive!" Huang Chu hurriedly retracted the accelerator, and the car suddenly shook.
The poor Dutch general manager outside the car probably had a heartbeat, and his heart was dead.
Gently refueled, the car slowly walked forward, this time unusually smooth, out of the door, directly turned to the highway.
According to Ye Qiu's statement, Ferrari is not high-speed Lala, it is not called Ferrari.
The more Huang Chu drove the more he felt excited, and kept saying that the car was easy to drive, the direction was sensitive, pointing where to hit, and the response of the throttle was also very sensitive, and with a little oil, it was able to lift the speed very quickly, especially after getting on the A1 high-speed with few vehicles, the speed soared directly to nearly 200, and the whole car was still very stable.
Ye Qiu had seen a lot of experience in buying cars in his previous life, and he really felt that there was a sentence in it that was right.
The value of a really good car is not in those configurations, but in how much control he has at high speeds.
Although Huang Chu was driving, Ye Qiu had a feeling that he was sitting on a galloping horse for thousands of miles, where you want to go, the horse will take you there, how fast you want, how fast it can be, that feeling even Eliza's Audi TT can't give.
And this Ferrari 360 is just an entry-level sports car for Ferrari, and I believe that the 550 will be more comfortable and exciting.
After going around from the highway and returning to the 4S shop, Huang Chu was excited as soon as she got out of the car, and anyone could see that she liked this car very much, but it was the general manager of the 4S store, who kept wiping sweat on the side, and looked around at the body, as if he was afraid of missing the slightest detail.
"Mr. Ye, if you decide to order a Ferrari 550 now, it will take at least two months to get the car, which is the fastest speed!"
"Two months is two months, and I haven't gotten my driver's license yet!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, a person who wants to buy a Ferrari doesn't have a driver's license, what should be said?
I don't know if all European car purchases are like this, anyway, Ye Qiu bought this Ferrari, and the 4S store said that he could add and cancel the configuration by himself, especially the decoration of some cars, which could be carried out according to Ye Qiu's own requirements.
For example, Ye Qiu hopes to increase some comfort, and there is a nameplate next to the driver's seat in the front of the car, according to the introduction of the 4S store, many people will mark their names or other unique signs on the nameplate, and Ye Qiu simply put his and Huang Chu's signatures on it.
The two each signed a name to the 4S store, both signed in Chinese, which looks like it has a unique flavor.
Ye Qiu had just received a 300,000 championship bonus from Ajax, plus a generous new contract signing fee, he was now like a wealthy landlord, as long as he and Huang Chu liked something, he would add it.
It's not that he likes to show off his wealth, but because he thinks that it's hard to buy a favorite, and if he likes it, and he is not limited by money, then of course he can buy what he likes, right? Is it possible to wait until you buy it in the future to regret it?
After the final calculation, the purchase price plus VAT plus motor vehicle tax and insurance, Ye Qiu's Ferrari 550 killed him a total of nearly 200,000 euros, and it was a hard top, if it was a convertible, it would definitely be 250,000.
As for the hard top and convertible, Ye Qiu thinks it depends on the car, in the case of Ferrari 550, the hard top is more in line with the assembly line design of the whole car, and more in line with his aesthetics, as for the convertible, this is not necessarily better, especially in the windy and rainy weather, is it really cool to open the convertible?
Returning to Amsterdam from Shiversam, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu kept talking about cars all the way.
Huang Chu's family is very rich, but her father Huang Jinsong is only that Mercedes-Benz, and she doesn't have a car herself, so now, she is more like Ye Qiu's Ferrari 550 as the first car in her life, and she is so excited.
Eliza is not envious either, because she prefers her Audi TT.
Isn't there a word to say?
Radish and cabbage, each with its own love!
…………
…………
After booking a car, Ye Qiu returned to Amsterdam and began his arduous journey to get a driver's license.
This time, thanks to Eliza, because the player service company itself has a fixed personal trainer, Eliza specially introduced one of the most experienced coaches to Ye Qiu to coach Ye Qiu.
This incident also caused an interesting incident, that is, after the coach knew that his student was Ye Qiu, he changed his online signature when he turned around, "Hello friends, I am the head coach of Ajax!" ”
At first, no one paid attention to him, but it didn't take long for him to be discovered, because he uploaded a photo of Ye Qiu learning to drive the next day, and he also commented in his diary, thinking that Ye Qiu was very talented in learning to drive, and he learned quickly, but he also criticized Ye Qiu because he was wearing flip-flops today.
Soon, reporters in Amsterdam found the coach, but he has been working with the player service company for a long time, and he is a fan of Ajax himself, and he is also a fan of Ye Qiu, and he uploaded the photo with Ye Qiu's consent, and without Ye Qiu's consent, he will not be interviewed by reporters, or reveal the route of learning to drive.
But obviously, the whole Amsterdam knows that their head coach is learning to drive, so much so that the host of Amsterdam's famous City Voice radio station has been laughing and appealing on the program for several days, "Dear driver friends, our head coach is learning to drive, please drive carefully on the road, don't pounce on it as usual, it's better to stay away!" ”
They all slipped around in the city, and it was inevitable that some people would recognize Ye Qiu, and the most embarrassing thing was that he could see the picture of himself learning to drive in the newspaper of the Amsterdam Evening Post almost every day, and introduce Ye Qiu's learning to drive from the perspective of a bystander.
The good thing is that he obviously feels that his driving skills are getting better and better, and the disadvantage is that he has to endure the kind of loving ridicule that the fans have for him, and as Ye Qiu's agent and image consultant, Eliza is obviously very happy to see Ye Qiu treated like this.
Ye Qiu studied for a driver's license for 5 days, 4 hours a day, and then went directly to the test.
In the end, he is a young man, with quick eyes and quick hands, and he was born to be a F1 driver, he passed the first exam directly and successfully got his driver's license, this good news was immediately leaked, and the fans and newspapers in Amsterdam began to be happy for Ye Qiu again.
"Our head coach has finally graduated!"
Ajax's official website conformed to public opinion, followed the coaxing, and announced it on the official website as soon as Ye Qiu passed the exam.
After Ye Qiu got his driver's license, he and Eliza accompanied Huang Chu to Cambridge, north of London, England.
After this summer, Huang Chu will start to come to Cambridge to continue her studies, so Ye Qiu and Eliza will accompany her to Cambridge to find a house first, she doesn't want to live in a school apartment, she wants to rent a house outside by herself, so that it can be convenient for Ye Qiu to come and see her often.
Originally, someone was very insidious and cunning and wanted to deal with Huang Chu's stomach first, and then slowly negotiate with Huang Jinsong, but now with Huang Chu entering the Cambridge University School of Medicine, he temporarily pressed the big plan in his heart and continued to wait for the right opportunity to talk about it.
After staying at Cambridge for a few days, Ye Qiu and Eliza accompanied Huang Chu to London and some surrounding tourist resorts to take a walk, and naturally they had to go to the home stadiums of several clubs in London, especially Arsenal's Highbury Stadium, as well as Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, and the current Raic Gang Wimbledon in League One.
In Ye Qiu's previous life, a large part of the fan time was the memory of the strong Premier League team, so he was more familiar with the Premier League.
Of course, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga are just as familiar, but only to the big names.
Just when Ye Qiu, Eliza and Huang Chu ended their journey from England and returned to Amsterdam, the Ajax scouting department also sent him the latest news, he sent to the Czech Republic to find Peter? Petr Cech got a reply.
"We found the player, but unfortunately he has signed a contract with the Czech side Sparta Prague, who paid 600,000 euros to get the player, sorry, we are one step late!"
"Peter? Cech is also very sorry to hear that you are interested in him, and asked us to convey his apologies to you, he hopes to have the opportunity to join Ajax in the future, but for the time being he wants to stay in the Czech Republic! ”
Ye Qiu was in his office, and after hearing the scout's report, he couldn't hide his disappointment, because he actually brushed shoulders with this Czech goalkeeper, which was indeed a very sad thing, and this was also the first time that Ye Qiu had encountered a setback in the transfer market for so long.
Looking at the scouting report in front of me, there is a situation about the two Spanish goalkeepers.
One is Diego in Real Madrid's academy? López, but Ajax's scouts don't rate the player very highly, and his reflexes are quick, but there are other areas that need to be improved, and they feel that instead of bringing in the goalkeeper, it is better to promote the young Stekelenburg.
The same is true for Reina, another from Barcelona.
This is also what Ye Qiu has been hesitating all along, except for Peter, who he is most optimistic about? Aside from Cech's ability to play, several other players are young, and instead of bringing them in, it would be better to promote Stekelenburg.
Ye Qiu also inspected the Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar, but the goalkeeper's current performance is still not stable enough, and more training and training are needed.
Just when Ye Qiu felt hesitant, a top goalkeeper called to recommend himself.
