Section 608: The gongs and drums sounded and the horn appeared (4)
The morning sun in Italy was warm and warm. Wang Ai chatted with Zanetti relaxedly and walked on the grass of the base. Wang Ai did not let go of the fact that the club only had one captain to receive him and there were no other heavyweights. In my mind, the eager eyes of the base manager, staff and even the gatekeeper have shown this club's attitude towards me.
After visiting for an hour and walking around all the places, Wang Ai had a good idea. Of course, it couldn't compare to Cobham in terms of luxury, but it was enough. Some of the luxury in Cobham was actually useless, such as the dressing rooms decorated with expensive wood. What's the use? The main disadvantage of Appiano is that the room where the team members rest is relatively shabby and has no air conditioning. But Wang Ai has decided to buy a house in a small town, so it doesn't matter. I won't live there anyway.
After taking a few selfies and sending them to my mother, and briefly expressing his sincere appreciation for the base, Wang Ai, Schlapner and others returned to downtown Milan and rested in the hotel Schlapner booked. The next few days God, he will no longer meet with Inter Milan's heavyweights and wait for the results of the negotiations to be announced. Of course, he cannot stay bored in the hotel these days. He has already booked to buy a house in the small town of Appiano. In fact, here It's just a village, and it's a village in the outskirts. The housing prices will be very low. This will allow him to avoid the all-pervasive media, and he can also make extensive use of the base training facilities nearby. I believe the club will welcome him wholeheartedly and will not be afraid of the cost.
In addition, Wang Ai also plans to use these few days to get familiar with Inter Milan's tactical style. Mancini has led the team for three years, and Inter Milan's style of play is quite mature, and will never change drastically because of Wang Ai's arrival. Therefore, what Wang Ai needs to consider is to proactively integrate into this system and quickly enter the role.
Since there are more than twenty days left in the new season, Inter Milan is still on vacation, so the only way Wang Ai can understand is by watching videos. Fortunately, Wang Ai has often watched game videos since he was a child, and even often analyzes game videos, so he is very familiar with it. .
Wang Ai woke up in the hotel at noon. After ordering food, he rented a car and drove around Milan as planned, gaining a preliminary understanding of this artistic city. However, he was not very interested, so he still They liked the green training ground better, so at 2:30 in the afternoon, the group came to the small town of Appiano again. Schlapner helped Wang Ai check out several properties in advance. Wang Ai's request was very simple. , three floors, independent front and back yards. As for other decorations and location, Wang Ai doesn't care much.
The car drove around the town, and Wang Ai found it interesting, because compared to Cobham, Italians are more free-spirited in nature. This is reflected in the fact that none of the roads in the town are straight or horizontal. It seems to have a sense of lines in Italian painting art. Anyway, it is not drawn with a ruler, but hand-painted. The style of the house is not very different, but the direction is uncertain. It can be found in the southeast, northwest and northwest. This is actually similar to some rural areas in China. It's almost like a natural village. There's no plan anyway, so you can do whatever is convenient for you.
However, the economic situation of the town seems to be okay. In the south, there is a relatively concentrated commercial area, supermarkets, processing shops, etc., and there are also some factories, such as two paper mills. And in the southwest of the town, which is the base In this direction, due north is a wood processing factory, because it is adjacent to the National Forest Park and is regularly logged, which supports the industrial system of the town.
Although Italy's environmental protection level is very high, Wang Ai still wants to avoid this area because he is not afraid of pollution or noise. Fortunately, the main body of the town is in the middle, and the northern part is a concentrated residential area.
Schlapner selected four houses, one near the city hall, one near the Japanese restaurant in the north, one near the sports center in the east of the town, and one on the west side of the training base, located on the mountain on the edge of the National Forest Park.
Located in the villa area.
The price is pretty much the same. It's cheaper than the one in Cobham anyway, so Wang Ai doesn't care too much. None of the four houses have swimming pools, and Wang Ai doesn't care. Anyway, he can just buy it and build one himself.
In the end, Wang Ai took a fancy to this one in a villa area built on a hillside. Not only the house is big, but the yard is big, the key is that it is very close to the training base. Standing at the door of the house, you can see the turf of the base, and the straight-line distance is about an inch.
More than 100 meters. If you look into the distance, you can see stretches of farmland and farms. More than 100 meters behind this house is a small golf club, so although it is secluded, it is not deserted. And this house
The surrounding trees are the same as those in the forest park, and the air is particularly good.
Squatting down at home like this, there are a few dogs in the front yard and a few cats lying in the backyard. Looking to the east is the countryside and the city, and to the west is the rolling mountains. On a sunny day, I can walk the dog in the yard and play with the cat in the water. On a rainy day, I can go upstairs.
For reading and playing computer games, the training base is 100 meters away from the house, and the business district is 200 meters away. When you enter, you can be surrounded by a sea of people, and when you retreat, you can live in seclusion in the mountains. It is so convenient and fits Wang Ai's aesthetics.
Regardless of the soaring housing prices in Italian cities in recent years, the price is actually a decline in rural housing prices. Because the driving force behind the soaring urban housing prices is to attract young people from rural areas, this will inevitably lead to vacant and old rural houses, such as the one Wang Ai is interested in.
This house is a house. The owner of the house is a lumber merchant. He saved a family business and wanted his children to inherit it, but he never expected that both children would go to Milan to enjoy life. As the old couple got older, they could no longer maintain the business, so they had to sell it on the side.
The company bought a store in Milan and put an old house that had been renovated less than ten years ago on the market for sale.
They never expected that it was Wang Ai who came to buy a house, but the old man acted very happy, and the old lady expressed that she was very angry, because the old man is an Inter Milan fan, and the old lady is an AC fan...
The asking price was 150,000, and the old man said it was still negotiable. The old lady held her breath and remained silent. Wang Ai smiled and didn't say much. They left each other's phone numbers and left. However, before Wang Ai got in the car, he heard the old man and old lady arguing.
, the old lady said not to sell it to him, but the old man said, if you don’t sell it, others will sell it!
Wang Ai smiled and looked elsewhere before driving back to Milan.
The news that Wang Ai came to Milan is not a secret. Many newspapers got the news from the passengers on the same plane. Some even got photos of Wang Ai taken with their mobile phones. However, Wang Ai neither went to the Inter Milan headquarters nor went shopping on the street.
Not to mention visiting various scenic spots. Although people have arrived in Milan, no one knows where they are.
If Wang Ai himself cannot be interviewed, then the news about his transfer to Inter Milan can still only be speculation and cannot be confirmed, although everyone knows that this is almost certain.
