Chapter 462 Miscellaneous
On July [-]st, the European transfer market officially opened.

After the transfer window was opened, Newcastle and Hoffenheim also announced a news that the news made the previous rumors turned into facts -Hoffenheim's striker, two consecutive Bundesliga's best shooters. Last season's European Golden Boot Award, the Chinese forward Long will be transferred to Newcastle with a value of 2000 million pounds. At the same time Hoffenheim's player, which also made Hoffenheim's new season partner copy the main front line combination of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, Zicaga Gaishevic.

This transfer made Long Bisheng the most valuable player ever transferred by a Chinese player. Before him, the most valuable transfer was Deco. In the 04-05 season, he transferred from Valencia to Chelsea for 800 million pounds. If we talk about purely Chinese players, then the most valuable transfer fee is Nie Fei. His transfer from Rome to Newcastle in the 03-04 season was worth 200 million pounds. The actual value of Long Bisheng’s transfer this time It definitely exceeded 3000 million pounds, which also means that for a long time, it is difficult for anyone to surpass his record.

Even Messi, who has won the World Footballer of the Year, due to some special reasons, he only cost Pei Wei less than 1000 million pounds from Yunjiatianyu to Newcastle. Of course, if Pei Wei is willing to let him go, whether it is Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan or Real Madrid are willing to pay more than 5000 million pounds to buy him.

As early as two days ago, Long Bisheng had rushed to Newcastle with his agent and his personal doctor. After the transfer market officially opened, with people from both clubs present, Long Bisheng signed his name on the contract.

After the signing, Long Bisheng is considered to be a member of Newcastle. Newcastle's pre-season training will be held on July [-]th. Long Bisheng still has half a month of vacation, but Long Bisheng does not plan to return to China or continue his vacation. He will use this half month to deal with some personal affairs.

These matters include returning the rented apartment in Hoffenheim, terminating the contract between Lu Xiaoshan and Hoffenheim Club, and finding a new residence in Newcastle.

Long Bisheng had been preparing to return his apartment in Hoffenheim, especially when he had already decided to move to Newcastle. Long Bisheng had already made an agreement with the landlord and did not move out officially just in case.

The team doctor contract between Lu Xiaoshan and Hoffenheim was also terminated soon. Hoffenheim did not embarrass Lu Xiaoshan because of Long Bisheng's departure. After all, Long Bisheng's departure also brought them huge benefits.

Both were easy things to do, but finding a new place to live in Newcastle was not so easy.

For a player, it is very important to find a new home in the new club location. Although it is possible to live in a hotel, but no matter what, the hotel is not a home, and it cannot give the player a stable rear. There is no solution for the place to live, so how can they calm down and play football?
It is not difficult to find an apartment in Hoffenheim, because Hoffenheim itself is just a small town, and there are quite a few vacant apartments. Coupled with the recommendation of Li Jie, a tycoon, Long Bisheng quickly found a suitable apartment in Hoffenheim, but Newcastle is different from Hoffenheim. Although Newcastle used to be just a small mining town in England, it has now become the political, commercial, and cultural center of northern England.A large city like this has one characteristic, that is, every inch of land is expensive.

However, this problem was quickly resolved.

****************************************
When Long Bisheng was struggling with his new residence, his new boss, Pei Wei, approached him.

During this time, Long Bisheng lived in the hotel. Although the money was nothing to him, Long Bisheng hated this feeling of being rootless.

Chinese people pay attention to the family. In feudal society, "feudalism" actually means "building the country by feudal soil". The emperor divided the feudal lords, and the lords can legitimately have the right to rule over the enfeoffed land. For ordinary people, owning their own house proves that they really own their own home. This is why the real estate industry has become the most profitable industry in China and has the worst reputation...

"I heard that you are looking for a house recently? Long Bisheng?" Pei Wei asked straightforwardly after taking the coffee that Long Bisheng handed over.

"Yes, in a new place, you always have to find a new house to feel like a home." Long Bisheng replied honestly, this is not something to be ashamed of.

Pei Wei laughed: "That's right, you can feel at ease if you have a house to live in... But, living in Kyoto is not easy. Newcastle is now one of the famous cities in England. It is not easy to find a suitable house here."

"It's really not easy. Me and Ning Xi...that is, my agent, found several houses that were not suitable. Either the price was too high, or the surrounding environment was not good." Long Bisheng nodded. He already understood the situation. It was never such a troublesome time to find a house in Hoffenheim.

"If you don't have a good choice, I can recommend it for you...Don't look at me, I have no intention of changing careers to be a real estate agent." Pei Wei laughed: "It is located on the banks of the Tyne River, two floors high, with a private garden, and the surrounding environment is quite good. Most importantly, it is only two kilometers away from the Longbenton training base, and if you choose to live there, your neighbors will include Messi, Franck Ribery, Dawson and other teammates."

"Really?" Long Bisheng shouted in surprise. He believed that Pei Wei would not tease him on this kind of issue. If there is a house with a really good environment and new teammates around as neighbors, that would certainly be the best choice—but will there really be such a house?Is the original owner really going to sell it?

Pei Wei quickly resolved Long Bisheng's doubts: "Actually, that apartment was originally the private property of the French full-back Oliver Bernard who played in our team... After the end of last season, his contract with our club expired, and we do not intend to renew it. He is going back to France to retire, so he plans to sell this house. I haven't found a suitable buyer yet. I heard that you are looking for a house, so I want to ask if you need it."

"I need it, of course I need it!" Long Bisheng said happily: "Thank you, boss, this has solved a big problem for me! I don't want to live in a hotel every day, and then go to the training ground for training. You know, I have to run at least 3000 meters every day. I live in a hotel these days. Every time I change into my sports clothes and go for a run, someone will always look at me with weird eyes. I really can't stand this look."

"Haha!" Pei Wei laughed loudly: "That's because they are not familiar with you... When you have an outstanding performance at St. James' Park, the eyes of people looking at you will no longer be weird, but admire and praise. They have never been stingy with their admiring eyes for their favorite stars."

"Don't the Newcastle fans know me now?" Long Bisheng asked a little strangely. He was not dissatisfied, but really felt a little strange.

"It should be." Pei Wei shrugged his shoulders: "The fans of the Premier League are very proud now. They think their league is the world's number one league, and they think that the players in the Premier League are the best players in the world... For players in other leagues, they probably don't know them too well.

"So that's the case." Long Bisheng nodded, and then said with confidence: "I will definitely let them know my name and my people quickly...Boss, you said it well last time. I can no longer get much exercise in the Bundesliga. It should be a good choice to come to the Premier League, and people really can't be too comfortable. If they are too comfortable, problems will arise."

"Don't be too comfortable in your professional career, but it's better to be more comfortable in your personal life." Pei Wei replied with a smile: "You are now a player of our club. If you can help you solve the housing problem, of course you have to solve it for you. You don't have to worry about the future, and you will contribute more to the team. Oliver is in a hurry to return to France. The asking price is probably not too high. I think that house will suit you very well."

"I think it's time to buy a house. It's not good to always rent a house." Long Bisheng nodded.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Pei Wei stood up: "Tomorrow you go to this address, Oliver will wait for you at home, you can take a look at the environment first, and then decide whether to buy or not. Of course, it doesn't matter if you have a better choice. Don't force yourself to buy a house you don't like just because I introduced you."

"That's impossible." Long Bisheng shook his head hastily, got up and sent Pei Wei out.

Pei Wei, who had already walked to the door, suddenly knocked his head and turned around: "Look at my memory... Before the pre-season training camp starts, the club will hold a press conference to introduce you to the fans. At the same time, there will be a fan meeting at St. James' Park. You may have to show off your skills at that time, and the club will notify you at that time."

After finishing speaking, Pei Wei left, but Long Bisheng had a problem. He showed off his skills?It's a bit difficult... Can you get away with a few balls?
