Chapter 122 Can Valencia Real Estate Speculators?
Friday, July 2015, 6.

"This is our home stadium, the Mestalla Stadium."

Now that the contract has been signed, Li Poluo also visited his home stadium accompanied by club staff.

Despite the language barrier between the two parties, the staff member named Pablo Gonzalez introduced him enthusiastically for a long time:

"This stadium was built in 1923. It could only accommodate 25000 people at the beginning. After several expansions, it now has a total of 55000 seats, but it is... a bit crowded."

He shrugged his shoulders, expressing resignation.

He babbled several numbers, and Alan didn't have time to translate for him, so Li Polo basically didn't understand, but after looking around, he could indeed see that the overall slope of the stand was a little shaken.

This is an old stadium. Only one side of the main stand has a roof, and the rest are open-air three-story stands. There is almost no gap between the densely packed seats.

[Sure enough, it was written by a capitalist. 】

Lee Polo shook his head.

The resident population of this so-called third largest city in Spain is only 81. Is it necessary to expand the capacity of the stadium to 55000 seats?

Next, he followed Gonzalez to enjoy the scenery of the urban area and the main commercial area, and finally came to the Patna training base far away from the urban area.

"Old Kiel, I'm sorry to interrupt your rest, we only need 10 minutes."

Gonzalez rolled down the car window, greeted the old guard at the training base, and then stepped on the accelerator and drove in:
"This is where you will work every day, Polo."

They stopped the car between a green field, Gonzalez opened his arms and pointed around:
"This area is called the Patna Stadium by us, but it is only our training base. There are a total of 16 turf, of which 7 are full-sized, and 9 are half-court or small. The reserve team and the youth team will also train here. There are locker rooms, team meeting rooms, tactical analysis rooms, indoor fitness areas, physical therapy recovery rooms, massage rooms, team medical rooms, temporary rest rooms, restaurants, swimming pools, administrative office areas..."

This time, Allen dutifully translated the core meaning for him, and Lee Polo, who was in close contact with a professional club for the first time, also felt refreshed.

After seeing the professional facilities here, and recalling Wimbledon's training base with only two vegetable plots and a few barbells, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Gonzalez added a few more words:

"The distance between the training base and the home court is about 14 kilometers, and it takes half an hour to drive. If you need the club to find accommodation for you, please inform me in time. Before that, you can temporarily live in Posadas next door Hotels, they have always worked with clubs."

Li Boluo nodded again and again:
"Thanks, Pablo, I will contact you if necessary."

Gonzalez, who finished his tour guide, restarted the car:
"Nuno confirmed that the registration date for the new season is July 7. You'd better not be late. He is a bit strict about discipline, not like us Spaniards. By the way, you may need to apply for a passport and visa in advance, Because we're going to Asia for a business competition!"

Lee Polo smiled and thanked him for the reminder:
"Pablo, is there anything delicious here? My treat!"

Gonzalez suddenly laughed:

"You have to be prepared, I am a famous big eater!"
-
Li Polo, who will receive a weekly salary of [-] from next month, will certainly not be stingy with a mere meal.

What's more, he had to entrust this Gonzalez to look for accommodation and apply for a visa to go abroad on his behalf. Even if the other party asked for "errand fees", it was a normal thing.

Valencia is also a large tourist province, and their number of beaches ranks first in the whole of Spain. Li Polo simply waited for the listing, while continuing to vacation here with Lisanna.

Speaking of Lisanna, their school summer vacation actually lasts from the beginning of June to the beginning of September, and the whole vacation is close to 6 days!
Simply inhumane!
Fortunately, Lisanna has already made arrangements for social practice. When Lee Polo prepares for the new season, she will return to London and find a factory to work as an intern...

After staying in the resort hotel for a week, Lee Polo finally decided on a place to live.

The housing prices in the urban area of ​​Valencia are not very high, and the price of a single-family villa can be as low as 30 yuan. However, for Li Polo, who currently only has five figures in the bank, it is still unaffordable. huge sum of money.

After winning the FA Cup, Wimbledon general manager Powell shouted to give everyone "huge bonuses", but after a week, Li Polo's bank account only increased by 2000 pounds, which also included the money he won. Extra bonus for the best player in the FA Cup!

However, for Wimbledon, 2000 yuan is really an unprecedented huge reward. After all, the previous promotion reward was only 500 to 800 yuan...

Considering that it is 100% impossible for him to stay in the Bat Corps until he retires, and the housing prices in this city do not have much room for investment, Lee Polo finally chose a plan to rent a house.

Gonzalez found him a two-story villa in a middle-class community, a simple apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms, with two underground garages and an outdoor swimming pool. A person's living needs.

He found another decoration company and made simple renovations to the room. He changed the bedroom on the first floor into a gym, installed a bathtub and steaming equipment in a bathroom, and bought some outdoor training around the villa. Equipment, he didn't stop until his savings were almost bottomed out.

“This bathtub is nice!”

After actual use, Lisanna gave her boyfriend's new residence a passable score, but she accidentally exposed her identity as a rich second generation:
"If you like it here, we can buy it!"

Lee Polo immediately rejected her suggestion:
"You should really learn from Bruce's investment mind. If you want to invest in real estate, you can go to London, Paris or Madrid, but certainly not in a second-tier city in Spain."

Lisanna pouted and gave up her investment plan unwillingly:

"Speaking of investment, Bruce and Lily are currently researching what kind of electronic currency. They said that this is a brand new industry. Would you like to buy some?"

Li Poluo was stunned for a moment, and asked casually:
"how to buy?"

Lisanna thought for a moment:
"You can buy it by applying for a personal account yourself, or entrust Bruce to operate it, but the price fluctuates a lot every day, and it has fallen below 200 pounds now."

Li Poluo rubbed his chin, and took another look at his electronic bank balance:

"I want to buy some, but... it seems that I have no money!"

Lisanna took his arm:

"If you really want to invest, let's buy it together!"

Li Poluo was so moved that he was about to cry.

This mouthful of soft rice...is really delicious!
