For the British media, flying to London by Gao Han is definitely a big deal, and its influence is not inferior to that of foreign leaders, and they are given extremely high-standard treatment.

But Gao Han obviously did not intend to cooperate with them. After arriving at Heathrow Airport, he did not take the regular passage. Instead, he was greeted by the airport staff and avoided the media reporters and fans stationed at the scene through the special passage and left the airport.

However, after walking around Heathrow Airport and avoiding media reporters and fans, they returned to the Harrington training ground one kilometer north of the airport.

As a result, when we arrived at the door, everyone was stunned.

"Is this Chelsea's 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, but rather a dilapidated warehouse in the suburbs of London.

The road seemed to be just built after Abramovich bought the team, and it extended directly from the main road outside Heathrow Airport to the parking lot in the training ground, connecting it into a piece.

The door is welded with rusty tap water pipes, and the security room is temporarily built like an iron room.

The training building inside has two floors. It looks a bit old and the exterior walls are mottled. It can be imagined that the facilities inside must not be much better.

Walking inside, there were four pieces of turf in total, but only one piece of turf was equipped with geothermal and drainage systems.

"Be good, how do you train in winter?" Lorenzo Buenaventura was stunned.

Atletico Madrid's training ground is relatively poor, but Chelsea was even worse.

You know, the UK is rainy all year round and snowy in winter. Without good geothermal and drainage facilities, the team will not be able to train.

The staff who were invited to inspect the training ground also smiled bitterly, "In winter or rainy days, the youth team will be suspended. If the first team can train open air, they will be trained. If not, they will be replaced by indoor training."

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

I'm so impressed!

No wonder England players are so violent. It turns out that they are all tempered by bad conditions!

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

But it is obvious that even teams like Chelsea are so bad, and other Premier League teams don't have to think about it.

"Mr. Abramovich means that you will follow Mr. Gao Han's instructions and have any needs and ideas. You can just mention them and we will do our best to satisfy them."

The staff's statement made Gao Han feel a little better, otherwise he would really want to give up on the spot.

"You immediately arrange for the maintenance of the geothermal and drainage system, as well as all the equipment and props for training. From now on, we will take over the entire training ground." Gao Han gave the first instruction.

The staff had already received the management's arrangement and immediately agreed.

"Carlos, Lorenzo, Pedro, Unai, you can take a look as soon as possible, clean up all those that do not meet our requirements, and then organize a purchase list."

The assistants nodded immediately.

They also felt a headache when they saw Chelsea's training ground so dilapidated.

"Sergio, you organize your manpower immediately and start forming an analysis team."

"I understand, leave it to me." Sergio Garcia smiled.

Gao Han looked at the training ground deeply again, shook his head and sighed.

As soon as he thinks that he will work here in the next two years, he will feel overwhelmed.

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

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

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

The signature of the mobile text message is John Terry.

This text message made Gao Han feel warm.

John Terry is one of the team's captains. After French veteran Deselli gradually faded out, he was a local central defender that Chelsea focused on cultivating. His strength is pretty good, and he is also the Blues flag.

"He is very good." Gao Han smiled.

After reading the text message, Cantalero and Unai Emery next to him nodded. Terry is really good.

"Thank you, I hope to meet you before the training camp." Gao Han took back his phone and replied with a text message.

Soon, the text message came again.

"Okay, I'm in London, I can do whatever you want."

This made Gao Han happy again, "How about tomorrow?"

"Of course." Terry replied, "The location should be arranged in your hotel."

"Okay." Gao Han understood that Terry knew that he was not familiar with the place in London, so he arranged to meet in the hotel.

This kid has a high emotional intelligence, no wonder he became the captain at a young age.

…………

…………

After inspecting the Harrington training ground, Gao Han and his group returned to the hotel.

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

After Gao Han came to the Premier League, he must have lived in London. Lin Xia also applied for it, hoping to be transferred to London, England to work, but this would take some time, so Gao Han did not plan to sell the house in Madrid's Rafenca.

The location is good, and the neighbors on both sides are all political and business celebrities. Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid players also live nearby. Others can't buy it even if they want to. Gao Han is not short of money and does not plan to sell it. He will leave it to Lin Xia and Chu Yao for the time being.

As for London, Gao Han originally thought of renting a house, but Mendes suggested buying a house.

The reason is also very good. The rent in high-end residential areas is not cheap. If you buy a house, you can register a company in the Cayman Islands and other places, and then buy a house in the name of the company, and then reasonably reduce the personal tax burden in the UK.

Gao Han doesn't know how to operate it, but there are experts in Mendes' company.

More importantly, housing prices in London are not expensive now.

As we all know, buying a house depends on the location.

As one of the world's top international financial centers, London has attracted 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.

Good public security, convenient transportation, prosperous business, everything meets the requirements of the high and cold.

As for the level of education, although Gao Han does not consider it, this area has always been said to be a royal neighborhood. Educational resources are the best in Europe, so naturally there is no need to say much.

When all overseas investors turned their attention to Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Mayfair and Eaton Square, Gao Han chose to buy a house in the area of ​​Garden Street, Kensington Palace. He was not attracted by the quality educational resources that were the best in Europe, but because it was relatively cheaper.

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

The four-story street-facing townhouse apartment with a total area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters is located behind the house Embassy Street in London, and at the end of the street are Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. It has an excellent location and interior decoration is also made by famous artists. There are four large rooms, including luxury facilities such as home theater, gym, indoor swimming pool, sauna.

Such a luxury house costs 4 million euros, which is not uncommon.

To put it in the words of a high-end real estate agency manager, if such a house is placed near Eaton Square, it will cost at least 6 million euros, or even higher.

Moreover, he also swears that housing prices in London will definitely be on the rise in the next few years.

Because Lin Xia had visited her once with her London friends, Gao Han, accompanied by Mendes in the afternoon, decided to buy the house on the spot.

Although the agency's promotional slogan is to check in with your bag, since many places need to be renovated according to Gao Han and Lin Xia's requirements, Gao Han has not been able to check in yet, so he can only continue to live in a nearby hotel, and is expected to have to stay for another month.

"I learned about it. The original owner of this house was an IT upstart in the UK. He bought it in 1999 and spent more than 2 million euros. Later, he spent more than 2 million yuan to hire a famous designer friend to decorate the design. But before he could move in, he caught up with the wave of Internet collapse and his company went bankrupt."

On the bus back to the hotel, Mendes introduced what he learned.

"At present, investors outside the UK like to buy real estate in the Knightsbridge area south of Hyde Park. Although the west is also very good, it is not very famous. Especially Kensington Palace, it is not valued, so the price is not high, but it is very cost-effective."

Speaking of this, Mendes smiled at Gao Han, "I was thinking that if you don't want to buy it, I'll take action."

Gao Han shook his head and smiled. He didn't value the place he lived very much. Anyway, Lin Xia liked it, so he bought it.

"Guess, how much salary does Abramovich offer you?" Mendes asked suddenly.

Gao Han frowned, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't guess how much?"

"This number." Mendesby made an eight gesture.

"Eight million?" Gao Han was shocked.

"After tax annual salary." Mendes nodded.

This made Gao Han breathe, and he was indeed rich and generous.

However, Mendes took the initiative to return the blank check and did a pretty job. He kicked the ball back to Abramovich to see how strong his desire to seek talents was.

But the facts prove that Abramovich did not disappoint. The annual salary of 8 million euros is the first sky-high price in football today, which is higher than the original highest Ferguson's six million euros.

"The signing fee is also quite high, with a total of 2 million euros, and the winning prize is also very generous. There are 1.5 million yuan in domestic cups and 2 million euros in the League Cup. If you can win the Premier League championship, the prize will be 3 million euros. In addition, if you can win multiple championships at the same time, you can also get an additional bonus."

Mendes smiled very smartly, obviously very satisfied with the results of his negotiations.

Gao Han also nodded at him with appreciation. Although Gao talked and Mendes also took commissions, he did a pretty job.

Of course, Abramovich should not feel a loss, because Gao Han’s current value is priceless.

"Abramovich hopes to have a meal and meet you before signing. It can be seen that he likes your team-leading style very much, and he wants to listen to your team-building plan."

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

Gao Han nodded, "There is an idea, but for the specific reason, I want to understand the situation first."

"It's good that way. After all, I'm just a newcomer, so I can't make a decision too quickly." Mendes also agreed with Gao Han's idea.

"I made an appointment with Terry to meet tomorrow."

"John Terry?"

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