For the British media, Gao Han's arrival in London was definitely a major event. His influence was not even lost to that of foreign leaders visiting, and he gave a very high standard of treatment.

However, Gao Han obviously did not intend to cooperate with them. After arriving at Heathrow Airport, he did not take the regular passage. Instead, he avoided the media reporters and fans stationed at the scene through a special passage and left the airport under the greeting of the airport personnel.

However, after walking around Heathrow Airport and avoiding media reporters and fans, the group of them went back to the Harrington training ground one kilometer north of the airport.

As a result, everyone was dumbfounded when they arrived at the door.

"This is the Chelsea training base?" Gao Han took off his sunglasses and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

This is not like a training base for a Premier League team at all, but more like a run-down warehouse on the outskirts of London.

The road looks like it had just been repaired after Abramovich bought the team. It stretched from the main road outside Heathrow Airport to the parking lot in the training ground, connecting into one piece.

The gate is welded with rusty water pipes, and the security room is a temporary cover like a metal room.

The training building inside has two floors. It looks like it's been a few years old, and the outer walls are already mottled. As you can imagine, the facilities inside are definitely not much better.

Go inside, there are a total of four turf, but only one turf is installed with geothermal and drainage systems.

"Hey, how do you train in winter?" Lorenzo Buenaventura was stupid.

Atletico Madrid's training ground is relatively poor, but Chelsea is not expected to be worse.

You know, the United Kingdom is rainy all year round and snowy in winter. If there is no good geothermal and drainage facilities, the team will not be able to train at all.

The staff who greeted them to inspect the training ground also smiled bitterly, "If it is winter or rainy, the youth team will stop training, and the first team will train if they can train in the open air. If not, they will change to indoor training."

Gao Han and others looked at each other, is this okay?

I really took it!

No wonder England’s players are so violent, they are all honed in harsh conditions!

In fact, with a climate like England, all Premier League teams should at least be equipped with indoor training grounds.

But obviously, even teams like Chelsea are so bad, let alone other Premier League teams.

"Mr. Abramovich means that everything will follow the instructions of Mr. Gao Han. If you have any needs or ideas, please mention them, and we will do our best to satisfy them."

The staff's statement made Gao Han feel better, otherwise, he really wanted to retreat on the spot.

"You immediately arrange for the overhaul of the geothermal and drainage system, as well as all the equipment and props for training. From now on, the entire training ground will be taken over by us." Gao Han gave the first instruction.

The staff had received the arrangement from the management a long time ago and immediately agreed to it.

"Carlos, Lorenzo, Pedro, Unai, you can take inventory as soon as possible, clean up everything that does not meet our requirements, and then sort out a purchase list."

The assistants nodded suddenly.

Seeing that Chelsea's training ground is so dilapidated, they all feel a headache.

"Sergio, you immediately organize your staff and start to form an analysis team."

"Understand, leave it to me." Sergio Garcia laughed.

Gao Han took a deep look at the training ground, shook his head and sighed.

As long as he thinks that he will work here in the next two years, the whole person feels big.

Just as Gao Han frowned and was looking around in the training ground, a mobile phone text message came in.

"Hello, Mr. Gao Han, welcome to Chelsea."

"I very much look forward to having the opportunity to meet and communicate with you and train under your command. I sincerely hope that we can fight side by side and achieve success."

The SMS is signed by John Terry.

This text message warmed Gao Han's heart.

John Terry is one of the team's captains. After the French veteran Desailly fades out, he is the local center defender that Chelsea focuses on cultivation. The strength is not bad, and he is also the banner of the Blues.

"He is very good." Gao Han smiled.

Cantarello and Unai Emery next to each other nodded their heads after reading the text messages. This Terry was really good.

"Thank you, and hope to meet you before the training camp." Gao Han returned a text message after getting his phone back.

Soon, the text message came again.

"Well, I'm in London, I can do it whenever it is convenient for you."

This makes Gao Han another joy, "Tomorrow, how?"

"Of course." Terry replied. "Just arrange the location in your hotel."

"Good." Gao Han understood that Terry knew that he was unfamiliar with his place in London, so he arranged to meet at the hotel.

This kid has a high emotional intelligence, so it's no wonder that he was able to become the captain at a young age.

…………

…………

After visiting the Harrington training ground, Gao Han and his party returned to the hotel.

At lunch time, Jorge Mendes also arrived in London, and in the afternoon accompanied Gao Han to London to see the house.

After Gao Han came to the Premier League, he definitely wanted to live in London. Lin Xia also filed an application, hoping to be transferred to London, England, but it would take some time. Therefore, Gao Han did not plan to sell the house in La Finca in Madrid.

The place is well located. The neighbors are political and business celebrities. Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid players also live there. They can’t buy them if they want to. The cold is not bad for money, so I don’t plan to sell it. I leave it to Lin Xia and Chu for the time being. Yao live.

As for the London side, Gao Han's original idea was to rent a house, but Mendes suggested to buy a house.

The reason is also very good. Rents in high-end residential areas are not cheap, and if you buy a house, you can register a company in the Cayman Islands and other places to buy a house in the name of the company, thereby reasonably reducing or exempting British personal tax burden.

Gao Han doesn't understand how it works, but Mendes has experts in this area.

More importantly, prices in London are not expensive now.

As we all know, look at the location when buying a house.

As one of the world's top international financial centers, London attracts the attention of global investors and has obvious advantages. The area around Hyde Park in the West End of London is undoubtedly the core area of ​​London.

Public security is good, transportation is convenient, and business is prosperous. Everything is in line with the requirements of the cold.

As for the level of education, although Gao Han does not consider it, this area has always had a royal block. Educational resources are second to none in Europe. Naturally, there is no need to say more.

When all overseas investors focused on the vicinity of Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Mayfair, and Eaton Square, Gao Han chose to buy a house in Kensington Palace Garden Avenue. He was not the best here. Europe's high-quality educational resources are attracted, but because it is relatively cheaper here.

On both sides of the garden-like boulevard, the traditional buildings exuding the atmosphere of the Edwardian era made Lin Xia extremely satisfied.

A four-story, street-front townhouse with a total area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. Behind the house is London’s Embassy Street, and at the end of the street is the Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. The location is excellent, and the interior decoration is also It is made by famous masters and has four large rooms with luxurious facilities such as home theater, gym, indoor swimming pool, sauna and so on.

Such a luxury house is priced at four million euros, which is not cheap.

In the words of the managers of high-end real estate agency companies, if such a house is placed near Eaton Square, it will cost at least six million euros, or even higher.

Moreover, he also vowed to tell Gao Han that housing prices in London will definitely rise in the next few years.

Because Lin Xia had already visited once with a friend in London before, so Gao Han was accompanied by Mendes in the afternoon. After taking a look at the house on the spot, he decided to buy it on the spot.

Although the agency’s slogan is to check in with a bag, many places need to be renovated according to Gao Han and Lin Xia’s requirements, so Gao Han has not been able to move in for the time being, and can only continue to live in a nearby hotel. It is expected that he will have to live again A month.

"I learned that the original owner of this house was an IT upstart in the UK. I bought it in 1999 and spent more than 2 million euros. After that, I spent more than 2 million to hire a famous person. The designer friend was decorating and designing, but before he could move in, he caught up with the wave of the Internet crash and his company went bankrupt."

In the car returning to the hotel, Mendes introduced what he had learned.

"At present, investors outside of the United Kingdom like to buy real estate in Knightsbridge in the south of Hyde Park. Although the western side is also very good, it is not well-known, especially Kensington Palace, which is not taken seriously. So The price is not high, but it is very cost-effective."

Having said this, Mendes smiled at Gao Han, "I was thinking, if you don't want to buy it, I will do it."

Gao Han shook his head and smiled. He doesn't really value where he lives. Anyway, Lin Xia likes it, so he bought it.

"Guess what salary Abramovich paid you?" Mendes asked suddenly.

Gao Han frowned, thought about it, shook his head and said, "Can't guess, how much?"

"This number." Mendesby made an eight gesture.

"Eight million?" Gao Han was taken aback.

"Annual salary after tax." Mendes nodded.

This made Gao Han sigh, and it really was rich.

However, Mendes took the initiative to return the blank check and did a very good job, kicking the ball back to Abramovich to see how strong his desire for talents is.

And the facts have proved that Abramovich did not disappoint. The annual salary of 8 million euros can be described as the first day price of football today, which is higher than the original highest Ferguson's 6 million euros.

"The signing fee is also a lot, a full 2 ​​million euros, and the winning prize is also very generous. The domestic cup is 1.5 million euros and the UEFA Cup 2 million euros. If you can win the Premier League championship, the prize money is 3 million euros. In addition, if you can win multiple championships at the same time, you can get extra bonuses.

Mendes smiled shrewdly and was obviously very satisfied with the results of his negotiations.

Gao Han also nodded admiringly at him. Although the talk was high, Mendes also had a commission, but he did a pretty good job.

Of course ~lightnovelpub.net~Abramovich should not feel a loss, because Gao Han's current value is priceless.

"Abramović hopes to have a meal and meet with you before signing. I can see that he likes your team style very much, and he wants to hear your team plan."

Mendes said this, looking at Gao Han with concern, "How about it? Do you have any specific ideas?"

Gao Han nodded, "I have an idea, but it's specific. I want to understand the situation before I talk."

"That's fine, after all, newcomers shouldn't make a decision too quickly." Mendes also agreed with Gao Han's idea.

"I asked Terry to meet tomorrow."

"John Terry?"

"Well, I want to use him as a breakthrough point to understand the situation of the team."

Gao Han's current task is very clear. The team must be reorganized and recruited. Then he needs to draw up a plan as soon as possible. (To be continued.)
