"Welcome to my hometown, Xiamen!"

When walking out of Takasaki Airport, Ye Qiu smiled and sent a host-style invitation to Eliza who was walking with him.

The group of three people, one man and two women, was particularly eye-catching. Many people even recognized Ye Qiu, and some people came over to ask for autographs, but there was no photo group, because few people would go out with their cameras now.

Sorry, there are very few mobile phones in China nowadays, and they are tall, rich and handsome things.

They came directly from Amsterdam to Xiamen, and the direct flight was convenient and saved some mid-way transfers.

"Ye Qiu!" As soon as I walked out of the waiting hall, I saw Ye Qiu's father Ye Changming shouting there.

And the one standing beside him, with red eyes, wasn’t Ye Qiu’s mother Zhang Yuxiu?

"Dad, mom!" Ye Qiu walked over with a smile, hugging his parents separately, and had not 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 put down their store business.

"A Chu!" Zhang Yuxiu looked closer to Huang Chu.

"Uncle, aunt!" Huang Chu greeted him politely.

"This is our friend in the Netherlands, Eliza Moon." Ye Qiu introduced with a smile.

"A grain of sand?" Ye Changming said in poor English, making Ye Qiu and Huang Chu laugh.

"Hello!" Eliza's Chinese is pretty good, and her bite sound is quite standard.

A group of people said a few words and got into the car.

Ye Changming recently bought a van. On the one hand, it is more convenient to buy vegetables in the store, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to travel.

Huang Chu and Eliza didn't mind either. After sitting up, they both shouted and suggested where to go.

The van carried everyone to Yeji Snack near the train station.

In Europe, Eliza has been talking about trying Master Huang Chu's craftsmanship, so this time Zhang Yuxiu cooked herself and sat in a snack banquet with the ancestral craftsmanship of the Ye family to entertain Eliza. The Dutch beauty wanted to swallow her tongue and praised her endlessly.

"Auntie, your skills are very good, very good!" Eliza gave Zhang Yuxiu a thumbs up and praised.

Interestingly, Zhang Yuxiu can understand both the front and the back, but she is confused in the middle, so she is confused in the whole sentence.

Ye Qiu and Huang Chu didn't give the translation, and laughed there, which made Zhang Yuxiu angry.

After eating, Ye Changming sent Ye Qiu and the other two to a luxurious villa near the Ringdao Road.

To be honest, he is now increasingly impressing his son's vision.

The Ring Road had not been created yet, and no one thought that the land price here was of value, after all, it was far away from the city center.

But unexpectedly, when the ring road was built, the surrounding area became a tourist avenue. The price here immediately became a hundred times the price, and the housing prices were also rising steadily. The house Ye Qiu bought back then has appreciated at least three or four times the value, and they are all very popular.

Not only here, the two houses in Bailuzhou have also appreciated a lot. If they were sold, it would not be a problem to make millions now. Of course, Ye Qiu is not short of this amount of money now, so he doesn't plan to sell it.

The real estate developers here know how to promote and hype. Ye Qiu has been very popular in China in the past two years. He contacted Ye Qiu through Ye Changming and obtained Ye Qiu's authorization. They now regard Ye Qiu as the living signboard here.

Correspondingly, Ye Qiu received a high salary, with the highest courtyards, green environment, swimming pools and other things. In addition, it is close to the beach, and there is a special staircase connecting the beach.

It is hot summer now, so there are many local and foreign tourists gathering on the beach, which is very lively.

The developers are also responsible for the overall decoration of the single-family villa. They want to design Ye Qiu's villa as a living signboard for the entire community. Especially considering that Ye Changming mentioned it, this will be the place where Ye Qiu gets married in the future, so they will be more motivated. After all, this is another very good opportunity for publicity and hype.

Now that Ye Qiu has returned from Europe, developers have also come to the door with their own initiative. What they are talking about is nothing more than some cooperation. Eliza, a professional agent, has long been familiar with this. Ye Qiu has a high commercial value now and has a good influence in the Netherlands and Europe, not to mention the country, she knows how to operate.

After finally getting rid of the developer, Ye Qiu and the other two walked to the large balcony outside the second floor. An antique wooden pavilion was decorated here, which looked very Chinese-style. In the wooden pavilion, you can see the lively scenes of the beach not far away.

"It's so lively!" Huang Chu liked everything here very much.

Many of the decorations and arrangements in the villa are suggestions given by her future hostess, so it would be strange if she doesn't like it.

"If there are fewer people, I will go down to sunbathe, which will be very comfortable!"

"Do you mind the number of people?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Eliza didn't understand at first, but after waiting for a while, she knew that Ye Qiu was scolding her in a corner, and she was immediately annoyed.

The two of them had a big fight, but finally gave up after Huang Chu's persuasion.

In the next few days, the group of three people traveled around Xiamen and some surrounding areas. Ye Changming borrowed a Volkswagen and asked Ye Qiu to take two girls to play around, and the three of them had a lot of fun.

After playing around Xiamen, Ye Qiu and the other two went to Japan and South Korea in advance before the World Cup. They took a more than a month-long tour of the Korean-Japanese World Cup. After the entire tour, there were not many games. Usually, there were Ajax players playing against the Chinese team. Ye Qiu would definitely go and watch them, and the others were picked and watched.

More time, she travels to the beautiful scenery in Korea and Japan and tastes the food from all over the world. The one who gains the most is Huang Chu. Sometimes Ye Qiu even thinks that if she doesn’t go to be a doctor, she should be a very talented chef. Because she learned a lot of Japanese and Korean food recipes during the entire trip, including kimchi.

The development of the entire World Cup is similar to that of Ye Qiu's previous life. The Brazilian team was not favored before the game and finally won the championship. Barack, who just lost the Bundesliga championship, the German Cup and the Champions League champion, miserably became the four Asian champions.

What’s even more tragic is China’s leisurely walk on the World Cup stage.

Ye Qiu knows how to keep silent. He never commented on the performance of the national football team in the World Cup, nor did he express any opinions. He believes in a principle that silence is gold, and if it is silence, one must be silent.

After enough travel and almost finished playing, Ye Qiu and the other two returned to Xiamen and stayed for a few more days. Then Ye Qiu and Eliza went to Brazil, while Huang Chu returned to Shanghai. Ye Qiu hoped that she could go back to reunite with her parents.

…………

In Ye Qiu and Eliza's plan, South America is a very important part, because it sends a large number of players to Europe every year. In recent years, many traditional powerful agents in South America have gradually declined.

Mascati of Argentina and Ferger of Brazil, these agents have obviously declined a little because their agents in Europe have successively escaped from their control and set up their own businesses, and some people are indeed doing a good job.

Every region has its own characteristics and rules. European brokers cannot work in South America, but South American brokers will still have some trouble in Europe. Ferger and Mascati are good, while some weak brokers need to find some European partners.

This time Eliza went to South America mainly to establish cooperative relationships with several South American scouts, while Ye Qiu went to Brazil's capital to attend Lucio's wedding. Apart from Ye Qiu, Ajax only had a few management teams including Chairman Van Prager, as well as several players who had good relationships with Lucio on weekdays received invitations.

Because Brazil won the World Cup championship, Lucio's performance has also been unanimously recognized by everyone. Therefore, this Brazilian central defender has attracted the attention of many teams, including Manchester United, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and other giant teams.

Among them, AC Milan is the most ruthless. The Ross and Blacks who just got Nesta also wanted to poach Lucio from Ajax and form a powerful central defender combination. However, Ajax has made it clear that Lucio is a non-sale product of the team and refuses all quotations.

When Ye Qiu arrived in Brasilia, Lucio drove over to pick him up.

He just won the World Cup championship and was about to welcome the wedding. Lucio was both proud of his love and career. He looked so energetic. Even the flesh on his face looked full of happiness and satisfaction.

The training of the World Cup has made Lucio look some changes, and perhaps the factor of marriage. He seems to be more mature and steady, no longer as frivolous and immature as in the past. This change makes Ye Qiu feel very pleased.

Driving, Lucio drove Ye Qiu on the way home.

Lucio, who is always laughed and talkative, didn't even say a word along the way. It was indeed a bit unexpected by Ye Qiu. He originally thought that Lucio, who was about to get married, would be very moved, such as marriage is the grave of love.

"Head!" Lucio finally spoke.

"Is there something wrong?" Ye Qiu instinctively felt that something was wrong. If it were an ordinary thing, Lucio would have spoken long ago. The reason why he hesitated was probably related to the transfer. 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 about the relationship between Lucio and Gilberto Silva. It was probably because the latter did not dare to tell Ye Qiu in person, so Lucio helped convey it.

"During the World Cup, Manchester United and Arsenal arranged for people to meet us separately." Lucio drove the car and looked straight ahead, but was talking.

Ye Qiuxin felt cold. Are both of these two World Cup champions leaving? Can Ajax really not keep anyone?

He could already imagine that when the most important players in the middle and backcourt of these two teams choose to leave the team, Ajax's most confident defense will inevitably face serious weakening, and it will not be possible to not reorganize.

"Head, I rejected Mr. Ferguson's invitation." Lucio's words surprised Ye Qiu.

"Why?" Ye Qiu smiled bitterly.

He could already feel Ferguson's attention to Lucio, and at least few people could make Ferguson make a special trip to the South Korea-Japan World Cup to contact the players.

"Because I promised you will stay!" Lucio said loudly.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu felt so sad. I don’t know if he should be happy or sad.

He could hear that the conditions and bargaining chips Ferguson offered to Lucio must have moved the Brazilians, but the Brazilian central defender, who looked full of flesh, finally chose to stay in Ajax because he had promised Ye Qiu before and in order to repay Ye Qiu and Ajax for his kindness for him.

Not everyone has the determination and ability to reject Manchester United's invitation, especially for Ajax players.

"You said, aren't it? Although we are not a wealthy family, we want to defeat all the wealthy families. We lost too badly last season. You are right. We will win, and we will get up from wherever we fall!"

Ye Qiu was moved to hear it, but he knew very well how difficult it was.

"You know, it's very difficult, very difficult, almost impossible!"

With the current situation in European football, the Champions League has almost become a ban on the four major leagues. It is difficult for the second-rate league to challenge the hegemony of the four major leagues. Even G14 members like Ajax are difficult to shake the foundation of the giant teams in the four major leagues. There are many factors here.

Ye Qiu asked himself very confidently, but he also knew very clearly that what he shouted when he lost the Champions League before was just some slogans. He felt that he might not be able to do the slogans he shouted to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the players.

But Lucio believed it.

"I don't believe what others say, and I even doubt what Scolari said, but I believe everything you say!" Lucio showed a honest and even a little silly smile.

Even he himself didn't understand why he trusted Ye Qiu so much. Perhaps it was in the summer two years ago that Ye Qiu told him that he would become the world's best central defender. At that time, he suspected it, but later, gradually, he believed it. With the accumulation of trust, now, after winning the World Cup, he became unbelievable.

He didn't know why Ye Qiu made such a judgment, but he had an almost blind trust from beginning to end, that is, Ye Qiu said that if he could do it, he would definitely do it without doubt.

"Winger offered Gilberto a very high condition, not just a salary, but also a main position!" Lucio did not want Ye Qiu to misunderstand his friend. In his opinion, Gilberto Silva hoped that the transfer was more like his hard work and progress towards his future.

It is hard to say that if you stay or leave, you may not be loyal. If you leave, you may not be rebellious.

"I understand, but I can understand!" Ye Qiu nodded.

At least Gilberto Silva dared not say it to him in person, which proves his weight in the Brazilian midfielder.

"Gilberto also promised that he would never help Arsenal reduce the price, but he hopes that the team can negotiate with Arsenal."
