Volume 1 Chapter 158 I agree!
"Welcome to my hometown, Xiamen!"
When he walked out of Gaoqi Airport, Ye Qiu smiled and sent a host-style invitation to Eliza, who was traveling with him.
A group of three people, one man and two women, is particularly eye-catching, and even many people recognized Ye Qiu, and some people took the initiative to come over and ask for autographs, but there was no group photo or anything, because few people would go out with a camera now.
Mobile phone, I'm sorry, there are still very few camera phones in China now, and they are rich and handsome.
They came directly to Xiamen from Amsterdam, and it was convenient to open a direct flight, saving some intermediate transfers.
"Ye Qiu!" As soon as he walked out of the waiting hall, he saw Ye Qiu's father, Ye Changming, shouting over there.
And the one standing next to him, with red eyes, wasn't it Ye Qiu's mother Zhang Yuxiu?
"Mom, Dad!" Ye Qiu walked over with a smile and hugged his parents separately, they hadn't seen each other for a year.
Originally, Ye Qiu asked them to go to Europe and travel by the way, but they just couldn't let go of the store's business.
"Achu!" Zhang Yuxiu seems to be closer to Huang Chu.
"Uncle, aunt!" Huang Chu greeted politely.
"This is our friend in the Netherlands, Eliza? Moon. Ye Qiu introduced with a smile.
"A grain of sand?" Ye Changming said in broken English, which made Ye Qiu and Huang Chu laugh for a while.
"Hello!" Eliza's Chinese is quite good, and the bite is quite standard.
The group said a few words, and then got into the car.
Ye Changming recently bought a van, which is more convenient for buying vegetables in the store, and convenient for traveling.
Huang Chu and Eliza didn't mind, and after sitting up, they both shouted and proposed where to play.
The van carried everyone to Yip Kee snacks near the train station.
In Europe, Eliza has been talking about wanting to taste Master Huang Chu's craftsmanship, so this time Zhang Yuxiu personally cooked, and sat at a snack banquet of the Ye family's ancestral craftsmanship to entertain Eliza.
"Auntie, your craft, Very, Very, Very!" Eliza gave Zhang Yuxiu a thumbs up and praised.
Interestingly, Zhang Yuxiu can understand both the front and back, but he is confused in the middle, so he is confused in the whole sentence.
Ye Qiu and Huang Chu didn't give a translator either, and laughed over there, which made Zhang Yuxiu angry for a while.
After eating, Ye Changming sent Ye Qiu and the others to a luxurious villa near Huandao Road.
To be honest, he now admires his son's vision more and more.
At that time, Huandao Road had not yet been built, and everyone still didn't think that the land price here was of any value, after all, it was far from the city center.
But I didn't expect the Huandao Road to get up, and the surrounding area became a tourist avenue, which immediately became a hundred times more valuable, and the house price was also rising, the suite that Ye Qiu bought back then has at least appreciated three or four times now, and it is very popular.
Not only here, but the two houses in Bailuzhou have also appreciated a lot, if they are sold again, it will not be a problem to make millions now, of course, Ye Qiu is not short of this money now, so he doesn't plan to sell.
The real estate developers here know how to publicize and speculate, Ye Qiu has been very popular in China in the past two years, he got in touch with Ye Qiu through Ye Changming, and got Ye Qiu's authorization, and they now simply regard Ye Qiu as a living signboard here.
Correspondingly, Ye Qiu's treatment is also very high, the first courtyard and green environment, swimming pools and everything is available, plus it is close to the sea, and there is a special staircase to connect to the beach.
It's summer season, so there are a lot of local and foreign tourists gathering on the beach, and it's very lively.
The overall decoration of the single-family villa is also the responsibility of the developer, and they want to design Ye Qiu's villa as a living signboard for the entire community, especially considering that Ye Changming mentioned that this will be the place where Ye Qiu gets married in the future, they are more motivated, after all, this is another very good publicity and hype opportunity.
Now, Ye Qiu has come back from Europe, and the developers have also taken the initiative to come to the door, and what they are talking about is nothing more than some cooperation matters, Eliza, a professional agent, has long been familiar with this, Ye Qiu's commercial value is very high now, and she has a good influence in the Netherlands and Europe, not to mention in China, she knows how to operate.
Finally got rid of the developer, Ye Qiu and the three of them walked up to the large balcony outside the second floor, where an antique wooden pavilion was arranged, which looked very Chinese-style, and in the wooden pavilion, you could see the lively scene of the beach not far away.
"It's so lively!" Huang Chu loves everything here.
A lot of the decoration and decoration in the villa was a suggestion given by her, the future hostess, so it would be strange if she didn't like it.
"If there were fewer people, I would go down and sunbathe, it would be very comfortable!"
"Do you mind if there are too many people?" Ye Qiu said sarcastically with a smile.
Eliza didn't understand it at first, but after waiting for a while, she knew that Ye Qiu was scolding her around the corner, and she was immediately annoyed.
The two had a quarrel, and finally gave up under Huang Chu's persuasion.
In the next few days, the three of them traveled around Xiamen and some surrounding areas, Ye Changming borrowed a Volkswagen and asked Ye Qiu to take the two girls to play everywhere, and the three of them had a lot of fun.
After playing all over the surrounding areas of Xiamen, Ye Qiu and the three of them went to Japan and South Korea in advance before the World Lu World Cup, and came to a more than month-long South Korea-Japan World Lu World Cup tour.
More time is spent traveling to the beautiful scenery of Korea and Japan, tasting the food of various places, among which the most rewarding is Huang Chu, sometimes Ye Qiu even thinks that if she does not become a doctor, she should be a very talented chef, because after the whole trip, she has learned a lot of Japanese and Korean food practices, including kimchi.
The development of the entire World Cup is similar to Ye Qiu's previous life, the Brazilian team, which was not favored by people before the game, won the championship in the end, and Ballack, who had just lost the Bundesliga championship, the German Cup and the Champions League, became the king of the four Asias.
What is even more tragic is China's chic walk on the stage of the World Cup.
Ye Qiu knows how to remain silent, he will never give any comments on the performance of the national football team in the World Cup, nor will he express any opinions, he believes in a principle, silence is golden, and silence must be silenced.
After swimming enough and having fun, Ye Qiu and the three returned to Xiamen and stayed for a few more days, then Ye Qiu and Eliza went to Brazil, Huang Chu returned to Shanghai, and Ye Qiu hoped that she could go back to reunite with her parents.
…………
…………
In Ye Qiu and Eliza's plans, South America is a very important part, because it sends a large number of players to Europe every year, and in recent years, many traditional powerful agents in South America have gradually declined.
Argentina's Muscati and Brazil's Figer are clearly on the back of the road, as their agents across Europe have shaken off their grip and set their own feet, and some of them are doing a good job.
Each region has its own characteristics and some rules, European brokers don't work in South America, but South American brokers will still have some trouble in Europe, Figer and Muscati are good, and some weak brokers need to find some European partners.
Eliza's visit to South America this time was mainly to establish a cooperative relationship with several South American scouts, while Ye Qiu was to go to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, to attend Lucio's wedding, and in addition to Ye Qiu, Ajax only had a few management such as chairman Van Praag, as well as several players who had a good relationship with Lucio on weekdays received invitations.
Because Brazil won the World Cup and Lucio's performance was unanimously affirmed by everyone, the Brazilian central defender has attracted the attention of many teams, including Manchester United, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and other giants.
Among them, AC Milan is the most ruthless, and the Rossoneri, who have just acquired Nesta, also want to poach Lucio from Ajax and form a strong center-back combination, but Ajax has made it clear that Lucio is not for sale in the team and refuses all offers.
Ye Qiu arrived in Brasilia, and Lucio personally drove over to pick him up.
has just won the World Cup and is about to usher in the wedding, Lucio can be said to be proud of both love and career, and the whole person looks radiant, even if it is the face full of meat, it looks full of happiness and satisfaction.
The tempering of the World Realm Cup made Lucio look like there were some changes, maybe there was also the factor of marriage, he seemed to be more mature and stable, no longer as frizzy and young as in the past, this change made Ye Qiu feel very relieved in his heart.
Driving the car, Lucio drove Ye Qiu on the way home.
Lucio, who is always laughed at and chatter on weekdays, didn't even say a word along the way, it was indeed a little unexpected for Ye Qiu, he originally thought that Lucio, who was about to get married, would make some sighs, such as marriage is the grave of love.
"Head!" Lucio finally spoke.
"Something?" Ye Qiu instinctively felt that it was not good, if it was an ordinary thing, Lucio would have spoken a long time ago, the reason why he hesitated was probably because it had something to do with the transfer, and Ye Qiu's first reaction was that someone was poaching.
But Lucio said something that caught Ye Qiu off guard.
"Gilberto may be leaving!"
"Gilberto?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, he knew that Lucio and Gilberto? Silva's relationship is likely that the latter didn't dare to tell Ye Qiu in person, so Lucio helped convey it.
'During the World Cup, Manchester United and Arsenal arranged for us to meet separately. Lucio was driving the car, his target staring straight ahead, but his mouth was talking.
Ye Qiu's heart was cold, did these two World Cup champions have to leave? Could it be that Ajax really can't keep people?
He can already imagine that when the two most important players in the backfield of the team choose to leave, Ajax's most confident defense will be seriously weakened, and it will be impossible to regroup.
"Head, I declined Mr. Ferguson's invitation." Lucio's words surprised Ye Qiu.
"For what?" Ye Qiu smiled a little bitterly.
He could already feel the importance that Ferguson valued for Lucio, at least very few people were able to make a special trip to the Korea-Japan World Cup to make contact with the players.
"Because I promised you to stay!" Lucio said loudly.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu's heart was sour, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
He could hear that the conditions and chips offered by Ferguson to Lucio must have tempted the Brazilians, but this Brazilian central defender who looked like a meaty Brazilian finally chose to stay at Ajax because he had promised Ye Qiu before, and in order to repay Ye Qiu and Ajax for their kindness to him.
Not everyone has the determination and ability to turn down an offer from Manchester United, especially for the Ajax players.
"You said that, didn't you? Although we are not giants, but we want to defeat all the giants, last season lost too much, you are right, how we lose, how we win, where we fall, we have to get up from where we fall! ”
Ye Qiu was very moved when he heard it, but he knew very well how difficult it was.
"You know, it's hard, it's very hard, it's almost impossible!"
With the current situation in European football, the Champions League has almost become a ban on the four major leagues, and it is difficult for the second-rate league to challenge the hegemony of the teams in the four major leagues, even if it is a G14 member like Ajax, it is difficult to shake the foundation of the giants in the four major leagues, which is due to many factors.
Ye Qiu asked himself very confidently, but he also knew very well in his heart that the slogans he shouted when he lost the Champions League before were just some slogans, and he felt that he might not be able to do the slogans shouted in order to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the players.
But Lucio believed it.
"I don't believe what others say, and even what Scolari says, I am a little skeptical, but I believe what you say!" Lucio smiled a cheeky, even a little silly.
Even he didn't understand why he trusted Ye Qiu so much, maybe it was in the summer of two years ago, Ye Qiu told him that he would become the best central defender in the world, at that time he doubted, but later, gradually, he believed, and with the continuous accumulation of trust, now, after winning the World Lu World Cup, he became convinced.
He didn't know why Ye Qiu would make such a judgment, but he had an almost blind trust from beginning to end, that is, if Ye Qiu said that he could do it, then he would definitely be able to do it, and there was no need to doubt it.
"Arsene Wenger has offered Gilberto very high conditions, not just for salary, but also for a main position!" Lucio didn't want Ye Qiu to misunderstand his friend, in his opinion, Gilberto? Silva's desire to make a move is more of an effort for his future.
This kind of thing is transferred, staying may not be loyal, leaving may not be treacherous, it is difficult to say.
"I understand, and I can understand!" Ye Qiu nodded.
At least Gilberto? Silva didn't dare to say it to his face, which proved the weight he had in the heart of the Brazilian midfielder.
Gilberto has also promised that he will never help Arsenal lower the price, but he hopes the team can negotiate with Arsenal.
Ye Qiu nodded and said that she understood, it is estimated that Eliza, as an agent, would not know what to say about this matter, otherwise she would definitely tell Ye Qiu, but when the time comes, Eliza will definitely be involved in the transfer operation.
"You tell Gilberto, I understand, and I wish him well, but if Arsenal wants to poach my most important player from me, Wenger must pay the corresponding price, and I will never give in!" Ye Qiu's mood became very bad.
The feeling of being poached was really uncomfortable, and he almost felt the urge to tear Wenger apart.
Gilberto? Silva, Ajax's most consistent player in the past two years, and also the strongest protective wall in front of the team's backline, but now it doesn't belong to him, so where does Ye Qiu go to find a replacement for Gilberto? Silva position, a player who brings security to the team?
However, Ye Qiu was also lucky, Lucio stayed, the champion of the World Cup who was originally the most concerned and popular by many giant teams, finally stayed, which made Ye Qiu feel somewhat gratified, at least, the foundation of the defense line is still there, isn't it?
'He knows what he says and respects all the decisions you and the club make.' Lucio said.
When Ye Qiu arrived at the hotel that Lucio had prepared for him, not long after he walked into the room, Eliza called from Rio de Janeiro, Arsenal contacted her company, and Gilberto? Silva also called her to relay his conversations and verbal agreement with Arsene Wenger during the World Cup.
"If you want to leave, you can't stay, and the twisted melon is not sweet, I will inform the club and agree to negotiate with Arsenal!" Ye Qiu sighed and finally made his own decision, "But I won't let Wenger be proud, if you want to get my player, he has to pay the corresponding price." ”
"I heard that Ferguson also has a crush on Brazilian midfielder Kleberson, and Atletico Paranaense's price is not low, more than 10 million euros, which should be able to give you some references, right?" Eliza said with a smile.
Ye Qiu smiled, shook his head and said, "Over 10 million? Are you underestimating Gilberto? Silva, the main defender of the World Cup champions, the core pillar of the UEFA Cup winners and the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions Cup, is only worth 10 million euros? Kleberson has no European experience, and it is still unknown whether he will succeed or not, but Gilberto? Silva has played in the Eredivisie for two years and also played in the Champions League, and his strength does not need to be proven anymore. ”
Wenger's transfer strategy in recent years has not been as sharp as it was later, he will save what he should save, but he will still spend the money he should spend, so if he really likes Gilberto? Silva, then it is not impossible for him to pay a big price for the Brazilian midfielder.
Of course, Ye Qiu wished he would have refused, because of this, Gilberto? In the end, Silva had no choice but to stay with the team.
But it's clear that Ye Qiu needs to work for Gilberto, just in case? Silva is looking for a successor.
