Like the rest of the main players, Jose has opted to leave the team temporarily.

Instead of going back to his home country directly, he flew to London.

Leaving the London airport, José called the landlord as he rushed to his accommodation.

Jose wants to buy the house from the landlord.

Although José is not as obsessed with buying a house as others, he studied economics at Oxford University and knows very well that investing in property is the best option at this stage.

As for why don't you go back to Huaxia to invest? José has only one answer, and that is to miss it.

In fact, José not only did not have the idea of investing in Chinese real estate, but also did not have the idea of investing in German real estate.

With José's knowledge, he can see that only London property can rise steadily in the coming years.

Jose's rented house is located in the north-western suburbs of Barnett, and it takes about an hour to drive to Stamford Bridge, to the Cobham training ground or to Oxford University.

It's not that Jose doesn't want to choose a house closer to him, it's that he doesn't have enough money.

The average house price in Barnet is currently around £600,000, and Jose's rented house is relatively large, according to the landlord, reaching 5,000 inches (450 square metres).

Jose would have to pay no less than £1 million to buy it.

Of course, it's only £1 million, which is still affordable for Jose.

Since he won the Golden Boy Award, various endorsement fees have skyrocketed, and they are even higher than his salary.

And José's main problem is that he wants to buy another house next door, and when the time comes, he can have a villa of nearly 1,000 square meters.

Negotiations with the landlord went well, and after some haggling, Jose bought the villa for £980,000.

Counting the 50,000 rent given before, Jose actually spent 1.03 million pounds.

This price is well within Jose's expected range.

It was the vacant house next door, which Jose had been talking about for a long time but could not buy.

The owner of the house is a wealthy Indian businessman, the kind who is not bad for money, the house has been vacant for a long time, and he still insists on asking for 1.1 million.

For the same area, the price is ten percent higher, and from an investment point of view, it will take at least 5 years to pay off, and Jose doesn't think it's worth it.

Since the other party is unwilling to reduce the price, Jose will no longer force it.

This is not the only project to be invested.

People, sometimes really cheap.

When Jose gave up, the wealthy Indian businessman suddenly agreed to lower the price.

In the end, Jose bought it for £1.05 million.

In this way, José spent more than 2 million to finally buy two villas.

I have to say that the property transaction tax in the UK is really high.

José calculated that the transaction tax on the house of 1.05 million amounted to 49,000 pounds, which is equal to a week's salary of Jose.

In addition, Jose only learned at the last minute that he was fortunate to have bought two separate houses, and if they were bought together, the tax rate would have reached 12% for a total price of more than £1.5 million.

Fortunately, the transaction tax is paid by the original owner.

In this way, José has his own home in a foreign land.

…

It's already three days before the house is done, and Christmas is only one day away.

José didn't have a Christmas habit, so he didn't hesitate to buy a ticket and get ready to go home.

On December 24, José boarded a plane back home.

When he walked into the plane, he saw a familiar face, which was none other than Senior Sister Leng Yu.

"Senior sister, long time no see." Jose shouted.

"Well, long time no see." Leng Yu saw that it was Jose, and immediately showed a smile on her face.

Seeing his senior sister again, Jose was naturally very excited in his heart, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

After the two faced each other and were silent for more than ten seconds, Leng Yu said, "You go to the position first, and I'll come back to you later." ”

"Okay, you get busy first." Jose nodded.

As a flight attendant in business class, Leng Yu naturally has to work.

José found his place, put away his luggage, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

I don't know how long it took, Leng Yu finally arranged all the passengers with the other flight attendants, and then walked to the seat next to Jose and sat down.

"Congratulations, European Golden Boy." Leng Yu quipped.

"Uh, senior sister, are you laughing at me?"

"You know I didn't mean that." Leng Yu's mouth was like this, but her expression was full of ridicule.

José was speechless.

"I heard you went to Germany to play." Leng Yu continued.

"Well, there's a better chance of playing in the Bundesliga." Jose nodded, and at the same time was secretly moved in his heart, the senior sister actually paid attention to all his movements.

"Smart choice." The senior sister praised.

In this way, the two are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, chatting about their recent interesting events along the way.

"Senior sister, how is your foreign language level?" Jose asked suddenly.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Senior Sister wondered.

"And how much is your salary? I don't mean to intrude into your privacy, so don't say it if it's inconvenient. José didn't answer, but continued to ask.

"About 20,000 a month, I can't compare with you." Leng Yu didn't mind Jose's questioning, but told Jose generously.

"More than 20,000 yuan? That's 240,000 a year, which is equivalent to 30,000 pounds, right? ”

"That's right." Leng Yu nodded.

"Senior sister, I'll give you 50,000 pounds a year, quit this job, how about it?" Jose looked at the senior sister expectantly.

"Quitting your job? Do you want to keep me? I can't believe you've become such a person. Leng Yu said coquettishly.

"Ugh!" Hearing Leng Yu's words, Jose was obviously stunned, and then hurriedly explained: "No, senior sister, you misunderstood, I just want you to come over and help me do things, I plan to make an investment, and I need the help of my own people who know foreign languages." ”

"So you're planning to exploit your senior sister." Leng Yu said with a roll of her eyes.

This time, José was really stunned.

Isn't it true that all women's thinking is so strange?

"Giggles, I won't tease you. What do you want your senior sister to do for you? Let's hear it. Seeing Jose's appearance, Leng Yu smiled like a flower and said.

So, José told the other party what he thought.

"Yes, I can help you, but in addition to the salary, I also ask for food and housing, no way, the cost of the UK is too high." Leng Yu finally said.

"That's no problem, if this thing succeeds, I can also give you a certain dividend." José directly agreed.

Of course, it is not a problem to include food and accommodation, Jose has just bought two villas, not to mention living in one more person, there is no problem with a few more.

In this way, the two negotiated the general matter.

After going back, Leng Yu resigned from her current job as soon as possible.

Although the name of a flight attendant is very high, she is essentially a waiter.

Now that there is a better way out, naturally I will not give up.

…

After nearly seventeen hours of flight, Jose slept three times before arriving in Huaxia, but fortunately he was accompanied by his senior sister so that he would not be bored.

After leaving Baiyun Airport, Jose took a taxi home.

This time, there were no journalists lying in ambush outside the airport.

When I got home, it was already the evening of the 25th China time.

At dinner time, Jose's mother suddenly said: "Seer, since there are more opportunities to play in the Bundesliga and there are holidays, just transfer to the past and never return to the Premier League in the future." ”

Hearing his mother's words, Jose shook his head with a smile and said: "Mom, the salary in the Bundesliga is low, South Korea's Son Xingchou has heard of it, his current annual salary is only 1 million euros, and the tax in the Bundesliga reaches 45%. ”

"Huh? Is it so much worse? José's mother was shocked.

"Nonsense, otherwise how could the Premier League attract so many people? It's just that you give a lot of money. José's father gave his wife a blank look.

"Mom and Dad, there's something I want to discuss with you." Jose looked at his parents and said with a serious face.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to open a few Chinese restaurant chains in Europe, and I want you to host it." José spoke his mind directly.

The fundamental reason for the rise of Western food in China is people's freshness.

In the same way, Chinese restaurants can also be successful in foreign countries.

Hearing José's words, his parents fell silent.

Of course, they were impressed by José's suggestion, but it was the language that was their real concern.

"Language is not an issue, I found a translator for you." Jose told Leng Yu about it.

Hearing their son's story, the parents immediately made a decision.

After convincing the parents to go, everything was not a problem.

Of course, it was not enough to rely on his parents alone, and José's father also found others.

José only stayed at home for half a month before fleeing back to London.

Because, every day, there will always be some kind-hearted people who bring a few girls to the door, saying that they are visiting the door but actually going on a blind date.

There was no way, José had no choice but to hide.

Jose settled his parents and senior sister and returned to Germany alone.

The Bundesliga will resume on January 31 and Jose will need to start training early.

As for the winter transfer window, Bayer Leverkusen did not buy a single new player.

Instead, he went to Oztunali, and with Son Heung-chou firmly on the left wing, he really didn't have many opportunities to play, so he chose to go on loan to Werder Bremen.

As for Jose, the Chelsea hierarchy proposed an early recall plan, which was ultimately rejected by Jose.

Although the Bayer Leverkusen team is slightly lacking, Jose can play as an absolute main force and has already qualified for the Champions League.

In the Champions League, it's not just about strength, sometimes luck is also important.

According to the schedule, Bayer Leverkusen's opponent in the 18th round is Dortmund, coached by Klopp.

This season, due to the departure of Lewandowski, Dortmund's attacking power has been greatly reduced, and in the first 17 games, they have scored only 18 goals, the third-lowest number of goals.

At present, Dortmund has 4 wins, 3 draws, 10 losses and 15 points, ranking second from the bottom.

Still, no one dared to underestimate them.

At 18:30 local time on January 31, at Bayer Arena, the focus battle between Leverkusen and Dortmund officially began.

The starting line-ups for both sides, as usual, were not announced until a moment before the game.

For Bayer Leverkusen, Kreuzer and Son Heung-cho, who participated in the Asian Cup final, were absent, and Dermic played as a left winger. Hilbert replaces right-back Jedwai, who is out injured.

Schmidt put on a 442 formation, the specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Jose.

Defenders: Wendell, Spasic, Toprak, Hilbert.

Midfielders: Calhanoglu, Castro, Russ Bender, Bellabi.

Forwards: Kiessling, Dermic.

In addition, there are Brandt, Rolfes and others on the bench.

As for Borussia Dortmund, Kanpur, who joined during the winter break, started directly as a left-sided midfielder.

Jurgen Klopp has put on a 4231 formation, the specific list is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Schmelzer, Hummels, Papastathopoulos, Piszczek.

Two midfielders: Shaheen, Ginter.

In addition, there are Subotich, Mkhitaryan, Adrian Ramos and others sitting on the bench.
