Chapter 233 Spike(1/2)
It rained in the middle of the night, but London was still brightly lit and there were many pedestrians.
Especially on the way to Stamford Bridge from Heathrow Stadium, looking at the pedestrians walking slowly on both sides and the bar where business is just hot, this is the first time Ye Qiu has felt the scenery of London after midnight.
They all said that the British like to take a walk, which is right. Even if it rains, they still walked slowly on the street. There were even a few Yu Qian who didn't even have an umbrella and just got wet in the rain. They looked very excited. It was probably because they went to a nearby bar to drink.
When it comes to bars, this has become a kind of British culture, especially the area around Chelsea, which is basically rich, white-collar workers and middle-class people live. In addition, Chelsea and Fulham are not far away from home, and Fulham's home court is close to the Thames River, and the surrounding area can be said to be full of bars.
Ye Qiu was just a little bit old and was not very familiar with London. What he knew better was the road from Heathrow Stadium to Stamford Bridge Stadium, driving his Ferrari Enzo from Amsterdam, and he did not dare to walk with any deviation.
London can be said to be worth every inch of land, especially in Kensington and Chelsea. The land here is even more valuable, so although the Stamford Bridge, which created Chelsea, is located in a wealthy area in London, is surrounded by various buildings and has no room for expansion and development.
From another perspective, we can see the crowding of Stamford Bridge, that is, the team's museums and club shops are not arranged at the entrance of the more eye-catching stadium like other clubs, but are arranged behind the stadium.
In other words, if fans want to go to the store to buy things, they have to bypass the entire stadium.
Moreover, there is no parking lot at Stamford Bridge Stadium, so parking is prohibited here. Even the club's vehicles can only park behind the stadium. A small parking lot next to the store is even a rare item.
Security guards are arranged every night at Stamford Bridge Stadium, and the office is on the first floor of the main gate of the stadium.
When Ye Qiu arrived, the headlights shone into the office, and then he heard the roar of Ferrari and stopped at the door.
"Mr. Ye Qiu" The security captain on duty at night walked out of the office and saw Ye Qiu coming out of the car, running quickly to hide from the rain, pointing inside, "He said his name is Frank Ribery, he is a professional player, from France."
After saying that, the security guard shrugged and quietly approached Ye Qiu, "Although he does have jerseys and sneakers on him, it doesn't look very similar, and... he came from walking."
"Walking?" Ye Qiu was stunned. Although the UK had to call in advance to book, it was not needed at the airport or some bus stops, so the purpose was to facilitate these foreign tourists.
"Who know?" The security guard shrugged, helpless, but finally added, "This kid speaks bad English, but has a big temper, and there is that scar..."
This security guard also knows how to stop at the right time. He originally planned to say, is such a big scar? Is it a gangster?
Ye Qiu didn't care. He walked into the security guard's duty office and saw Ribery sitting inside with a bag of luggage next to him. He was looking up at him. When Ye Qiu came over, he stood up.
"Didn't I give you my phone number?" Ye Qiu wanted to laugh when he saw his face-like dress.
"Lost" Ribery answered rudely, but he didn't say that he had thrown it away.
Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Let's go" and turned around and left.
"Where do you go?" Ribery hurriedly grabbed her luggage and went out.
Ye Qiu shook his head with a smile, "Are you planning to stay here tonight?"
After leaving the door of the duty office, Ribery was immediately frightened by the fiery red Ferrari in front of him. He was also a car lover. He recognized it at a glance that this was the Ferrari limited edition Enzo, the most advanced sports car. Only high-end customers of Ferrari have the opportunity to buy it. There are 399 cars in the world, which can be said to be the dream lover of all car lovers.
"Why are you stunned? Get in the car?" Ye Qiu had already opened the car door and sat in.
Ribery stood there carefully and looked around, his eyes staring around without opening the door and sitting in.
"Get into the car, what about Yu?" Ye Qiu wondered, this kid was weird.
Ribery stood there and felt a little at a loss. He could already feel the group of security guards behind him laughing, "You open the door."
Ye Qiu almost lost his voice. It turned out that this kid didn't know how to open the door. "There is no handle. The one that is in the back of the door is that you can open it just by reaching in."
Ribery reached in as Ye Qiu's words and grabbed it hard. The Ouyi car door slowly rose, which made him feel as if he was in a science fiction world. Then he deliberately patted his clothes, as if he wanted to take away the dust. Then he sat in, but couldn't close the door, so he could only stand up and close the door.
"It's really troublesome" Ribery complained, but his eyes were staring around like a thief, as if everything in the car was so fresh to him. He didn't dare to imagine that he had the chance to ride such a car before.
Ye Qiu smiled a little vainly and drove out slowly, "Why did you come from walking? You couldn't come from Boulogne and swim in swimming, right?" After saying that, he laughed.
Ribery sighed, "I came by plane. I called a taxi and told him to go to Chelsea. Then I told me a lot, and I didn't know where to send me. I threw it down and left. I was also depressed."
To be honest, this French boy's English is not too bad, and there is no problem with daily communication, probably other problems.
"What then?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
"I can't get a taxi and can't find a place, so I asked people all the way." Ribery shrugged, looking very open-minded, but Ye Qiu listened, and felt a little bitter in this sentence.
Just imagine, I came to a strange city alone, unfamiliar place, and looked for people on the street in the middle of the night to ask for directions. You can imagine the misery that you encountered, because even in the UK, don't think that the people here will be so friendly, especially when they see Ribery's face, they must not avoid it.
"Who asked you to throw my business card?" Ye Qiu cursed with a smile.
Ribery was shocked, "I accidentally lost it, not throw it away." He reminded him with great importance.
He had thought along the way that throwing and throwing were completely different concepts. He made up his mind and refused to admit that he had thrown it.
"It's the same for me," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Ribery had no choice but to let him say it, turned his head and looked at the London flower world and the bustling night view, full of surprise.
This was the first time in his life that he had come to such a prosperous world-class metropolis, and everything was very fresh to him.
The car slowly left the city and arrived at the Skyline Hotel near Heathrow Airport.
The hotel is next to Heathrow Airport and is only one kilometer away from the Harrington Training Base. Ye Qiu chose to live here without renovating the villa in Totridge.
Because most of them are passengers from the airport, the hotel serves an hourly service. Ye Qiu took Ribery to have a midnight meal, opened a room for him, and asked him to take a shower and have a comfortable sleep.
"I have cultivated my spirits and go to the training base tomorrow"
Finally, Ye Qiu said this sentence to stabilize Ribery and let him sleep comfortably all night.
When I met Ribery the next morning, I was in the hotel restaurant.
Ye Qiu notified the hotel waiter and asked Ribery to go directly to the restaurant to find him after waking up. When the boy arrived, Huang Chu happened to go to work. The two of them just met, but the brat was stunned.
"Boss, your girlfriend is so beautiful." Ribery was full of stunning.
"My Wife" Ye Qiu raised his coffee cup to hide his complacentness. This brat knows how to flatter.
Ye Qiu is also strange. He doesn't like him directly flattering him, but he is quite disappointed when he flatters indirectly flattering him.
"That day..." Ribery thought for a while.
"My agent, Eliza Moon," Ye Qiu introduced.
Ribery suddenly realized and couldn't help but compare her mind. Is it because her wife is beautiful? Or the agent is beautiful?
After thinking for a long time, this kid finally came to a conclusion that both of them seemed so beautiful and it was difficult to tell the difference.
"By the way, do you have an agent?" Ye Qiu asked casually.
"Any" Ribery said while gnawing on the bread, "But when I was in Ales, I didn't get my salary and ran away with others."
Ye Qiu almost squirted it out to him in person with a sip of coffee. Why did this guy say that the agent seemed to have elopement with someone?
"As a convention, I have to take you to the Harrington training base. The conditions are bad, but it is still improving. We have bought a piece of land nearby and moved it a year later. This summer training | We are arranged in Austria. If you have no problems, I will arrange for you to have an agent and you have signed the contract with the club."
"Just sign like this?" Ribery asked.
"What do you think?" Ye Qiu was surprised, wouldn't it be better to sign the contract like this?
Ribery was still thinking that he would have to try out for a while, or for some time, but when Ye Qiu said that he seemed to be full of confidence in himself and wanted to sign a contract with him directly.
"Is there any problem?" Seeing Ribery stunned, Ye Qiu thought he was unhappy.
"Oh, no, no problem, how could there be any problem?" Ribery shook his head vigorously, "Just, my salary..."
Ye Qiu smiled. This kid is really brave. He asked him to play in the Premier League to take special care of him, but he is better and he is also paying a salary? But Ye Qiu knew in his heart that he had come alone, and he was actually clearly at slaughter. He just wanted to sign a contract now, so he had to ask clearly.
"A weekly salary of 10UU pounds, additional appearance fees, winning bonuses, goal bonuses, championship bonuses and league rankings, etc. If you perform well, your salary can also fluctuate up by 50 At this time next year, I will give you a new contract. The salary depends on your performance."
After Ye Qiu said this, Ribery's eyes were bright.
The weekly salary is 10UU pounds, which is almost 4,000 pounds per month, which is much better than being a brick mover.
"Is there any problem?" Ye Qiu asked again.
Ribery shook his head hard. He was not afraid of Ye Qiu lying him. To be honest, he also knew Ye Qiu, the Champions League coach, the head coach of a big club like Chelsea, and the hottest coach in European football today. Will such a person deceive him for more than a thousand pounds?
If this is the case, then he would be very eager, because with this news, he would be able to eat and drink for the rest of his life.
"By the way, boss" Ribery thought of something again, "Can the club control it?"
"Have you ever seen a club controlled it?" Ye Qiu asked back with a funny look.
Ribery wanted to say there was, because he had dormitories in Lille and Boulogne, but he didn't dare to say it.
"I heard that you are already married?" Ye Qiu asked casually.
"Well" Ribery couldn't help but remember the scene when she left home, "I'm going to be a father soon."
Ye Qiu was slightly stunned, and looked at Ribery again. Thinking about the fact that he moved bricks at the construction site, he could more or less notice something.
Although he had only met Ribery twice, he felt that this kid was a little unlucky and had a low level of education. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a man who was willing to put down his figure and move bricks. Now, when Ye Qiu heard him say that he was going to be a father, he understood a little.
"Because you don't need the transfer fee, I can give you another signing fee of 10,000 pounds. I will ask the agent to help you find several houses. When the team comes back from Austria's training camp, you can pick up the house and take your wife back. Stay calm down and play football with peace of mind in the future."
Ribery was stunned when he heard this and immediately understood that this was the extra benefit Ye Qiu gave him. He was obviously helping him. He didn't say much and nodded, as if all this was what he deserved, but he couldn't help but feel a little warmer about this city that had just rained and was a little cool.
Club signing is actually a very simple thing, not as complicated as outsiders imagine.
Generally speaking, the club has prefabricated several different types of standard contracts in advance, and then different deletions are made based on the negotiation results between the players and the club.
Of course, the agent Ye Qiu found for Ribery was Eliza, which is called "Fat Water and Nothing to Leave Outsiders". The entire signing process was so simple that Ribery wondered if he had read it wrong, because it was done in more than ten minutes, and then he got a professional contract with a weekly salary of 1,000 pounds.
If this contract is in Boulogne or Ales, it is the most popular contract. I guess the club will have to consider it for a long time, but in the Premier League and London, it will take more than ten minutes. This surprised Ribery and felt that he had really come to the right place.
After signing the contract, Ye Qiu asked Roland to take Ribery to take a walk around, and he was discussing with Eliza in the office about Marklele's transfer. This French midfielder was the player he wanted very much.
Of course, if it really doesn't work, he still has another candidate, Alberda of Valencia.
Valencia's strong rise in recent years is inseparable from the pair of double midfielders Alberda and Baraja. Among them, Alberda is a very traditional interception and steal type midfielder with a very outstanding positioning. Like Marklele, he relies on consciousness to defend. However, because of this, Ye Qiu is relatively unsure about whether his body can cope with the Premier League.
