Chapter 144 A Gift Worth Millions, the Manchester City Boss Spends a Lot of Money!
In Munich, Guardiola parked his car outside a mansion on Sophienstrasse.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Sophia!"
On the road outside the mansion, stood a woman in black professional attire, about 25 or 26 years old.
The lady pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, stretched out her hand and said:
"It doesn't matter, I just arrived. Who is this?"
He saw that the young man next to Guardiola looked familiar, and he couldn't help but be confused.
"This is my son Lin Quan. Lin, let me introduce to you. This is our real estate consultant, Ms. Sophia!"
Lin Quan politely reached out and shook hands with the other party.
Sophia stared at his face for a while, and then suddenly her eyes widened:
"Are you the Lin in the newspaper?"
When Lin Quan saw the other party's reaction, he knew he had been recognized.
But this kind of thing is inevitable, after all, his reputation in Germany is getting higher and higher.
The other party didn't recognize him the first time they saw him, which means that the other party probably doesn't watch football very much.
"Well, Miss Sophia, can we start looking at the house?"
Lin Quan didn't want to waste time on unimportant things, he just wanted to get down to business quickly!
"This way, you two, please!"
There are two houses that Guardiola is interested in.
One is located in the center of Munich and the other is in the southern suburbs of Munich.
This set in the city center is mainly for travel convenience, making it easier for them to commute to get off work and for their children to go to school.
Houses in the suburbs are mainly used for weekends or holidays to relax and experience the beauty of the pastoral scenery.
Munich is not far from the Alps. According to Guardiola, the suburban house he is interested in can see the Alps when he looks up.
If you have free time, the family can even drive over to go skiing or skating.
The house on Sophien Street is a three-story, six-bedroom mansion with an area of about 450 square meters.
The overall layout of the house is designed very reasonably, with good lighting and a large number of rooms and space.
In addition to rooms for everyone in the family of six, there are two studies, a storage room and an activity room.
In addition, there are two yards, one at the front and one at the back, an open-air balcony, a basement and a garage and other supporting facilities.
What attracts Lin Quan and Guardiola the most is the large yard behind the house.
"This yard is half the size of a football field!"
"Well, that's about it. Put a goal on it, change the lawn, and it can be used as a small football field!"
"The prerequisite for this is that you can convince Sera not to turn this place into a swimming pool!"
Lin Quan's words made Guardiola shut up.
Although he is not a strict wife, he is not 100% sure that he can convince his wife.
"I think the yard in front looks good. How about you help me do some ideological work for Sierra and let her put the swimming pool in the front yard?"
Lin Quan couldn't help but rolled his eyes. How could someone's swimming pool be in the front yard?
Aren’t the front yards filled with flowers, plants, and the like?
After seeing the house on Sophien Street, Lin Quan and Guardiola both thought it was good, but after asking about the price, Lin Quan stopped talking.
The price of this house is 7.5 million euros, which is really ridiculously expensive.
"Ahem, let's go check out that manor in the suburbs first!"
Guardiola also felt that it was a bit too expensive. It was not that he couldn't afford it with his current worth, but he just felt that after buying it, he would have to use up his savings.
But if you really like it, you still have to buy it.
For people like them who are raising a family, it is definitely not possible to live without a house.
Moreover, Germany's current economy is pretty good, and house prices are still on an upward trend at this time.
Buying this place can also be regarded as an investment. After his contract with Bayern ends, he can sell it and maybe make a small profit by then.
There was no sign of impatience on Sophia's face. After hearing Guardiola's request, she immediately drove ahead and took Guardiola and Lin Quan to visit the manor in the southern suburbs.
This manor is located in a small village south of Munich and looks very luxurious from the outside.
The small village is located at the foot of the northern foothills of the Alps, surrounded by large expanses of grassland and low rolling mountains.
Looking from a distance, there are many sheep grazing leisurely on the mountain, which is as beautiful as a landscape painting.
The scenery here is really nice and the air is fresh.
Lin Quan took a deep breath and felt a little relaxed. He couldn't help but relax physically and mentally, as if all the pressure had been relieved.
Guatu's vision is indeed good, and he likes this place very much.
I just don’t know what the price is here, but this is not the city center and the land price is not that expensive. It shouldn’t be more expensive than the mansion on Sophien Street, right?
In the small village, in addition to the luxurious manor that Guardiola is interested in, there are also many traditional-style old manors.
The people living here are probably either rich or noble.
There are not many people living here, the surroundings are quiet, and it feels like a quiet paradise.
Lin Quan probably figured out why Guardiola took a fancy to this place. This guy likes quietness, and doesn't the atmosphere here suit him?
"The area of this manor is about 135,000 square meters, and the indoor area is about 1,000 square meters. If you want to buy it, you may need to hire professional nannies and housekeepers to maintain it."
Lin Quan was shocked by the numbers reported by the other party!
How many square meters?
135,000?
This is equivalent to the area of 20 football fields, even big enough for horse racing!
He was suddenly a little worried again. Maybe the price was really not cheaper than Sophie's set.
Guardiola didn't take Ms. Sophia's words seriously at first. This manor just had a larger space outside the house, so there was no need to hire a housekeeper or the like.
Their family of six can take care of themselves very well!
But after spending three and a half hours walking on broken legs to finally visit the entire estate, Guardiola changed his mind.
Please, must please!
In such a large manor, if we don't hire people, just cleaning would be exhausting.
"What is the approximate price of this manor?"
After Guardiola and Lin Quan saw the entire manor, they were very satisfied with it.
The hardware conditions here, as well as the surrounding natural scenery and living environment, are much better than those in the city center.
If the price is right, Guardiola will definitely buy this place.
"It's 5.5 million euros. If you buy two sets together, we can give you a discount. The two sets combined will give you 12.9 million euros. What do you think?"
A discount of 100,000 euros, isn't this a lonely discount?
Guardiola seems to be interested in making a move and has the urge to buy it immediately.
Lin Quan took a look and said, "How can this happen? You made the decision before the bargaining even started?"
"Ahem, Miss Sophia, can it be cheaper?"
Facing Lin Quan’s bargaining, Ms. Sophia kept a professional smile and said gently:
"This is already a discounted price. The houses in our hands are high-quality boutique real estate, and the price is not expensive."
Lin Quan saw this and said insinuatingly:
"But with such an expensive price, even if it is such a high-quality product, it may not be easy to close the deal, right?"
It costs five to six million euros, and not many people can afford it.
That is, some wealthy businessmen and top stars can afford it.
Seeing that Sophia didn't deny it, Lin Quan confirmed that his guess was correct.
So he had the confidence in his heart:
"Miss Sophia should know what my father does for a living, right?"
Doing a basic survey on your clients is the basic professional quality that an excellent real estate consultant should possess.
So when faced with Lin Quan's inquiry, Sophia nodded, indicating that she knew who Guardiola was.
"Now that you know who he is, you should know that he will be the coach of Bayern next season.
A giant like Bayern is likely to make big moves during the summer transfer period, and it is very likely that some top stars will be brought in from other clubs.
After these stars come to Bayern, do they need to buy a house to settle down?
If someone could introduce your company to them at this time..."
Lin Quan said and stopped talking here. With the intelligence of the other party, they should be able to see how much benefit it would be to them if they could have a good relationship with Guardiola.
Top stars are all wealthy owners, and luxury homes and luxury cars are standard equipment for them.
It is a dream for them to obtain such high-quality customers.
However, it is not easy to get in touch with these people. It is difficult to get in touch with them if no one recommends them.
After thinking about this, Sophia immediately changed her words:
"Mr. Guardiola, out of respect and admiration for you, we are willing to give you a further discount on the basis of the original discount. The two houses will cost you a total of 12 million euros. What do you think?"
Guardiola planned to buy it for 13 million euros, not to mention that the other party gave him a discount of 1 million.
Unexpectedly, Lin Quan is such a eloquent guy that he saved himself 1 million euros in just a few sentences.
So he immediately decided to buy these two houses.
The three of them then drove back to Sophia's company and prepared to sign the contract.
After arriving at the company, Guardiola and Sofia went to get the contract.
Lin Quan was sitting on the sofa in the reception room, playing with his mobile phone boredly.
"Forest?"
At this moment, a surprised voice with a hint of surprise came from beside him.
Lin Quan looked up and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes with a typical Middle Eastern appearance.
The other person seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
"Haha, I am Mansour, we have met in Qatar before, don't you remember?"
When Lin Quan heard that the other party introduced himself, Lin Quan immediately knew who the other party was.
It turns out to be the boss of Manchester City!
When Spain and Uruguay played a friendly match before, the two did have a chance encounter.
After that game, Mansour, as a sponsor, distributed prizes to the Spanish team members, and Lin Quan received a valuable watch.
But this thing was too flamboyant, and he didn't usually wear it.
"Hello Mr. Mansour, nice to meet you here!"
The other party was generous, and Manchester City had been in contact with him before.
Lin Quan does not reject this wealthy man from the Middle East, on the contrary, he has some favorable impressions.
Who doesn’t like a boss who does a lot with less money and has low requirements?
"Haha, I'm very happy to see you here too. Your performance in the Bundesliga is really great. I'm your loyal fan!"
Mansour is like an ordinary fan whose eyes light up when he sees his favorite star. He does not look like a high-ranking rich man worth billions.
This contrast surprised Lin Quan, but fortunately his reaction was very fast:
"Really? It's an honor to have fans like you!"
"Haha, Lin, can you sign it for me? I really like your No. 10 jersey at Werder Bremen!"
Mansour took a green jersey from his assistant, spread it out and saw that it was really the one Lin Quan wore in Werder Bremen.
Ah this!
Seeing this scene, Lin Quan was shocked.
Lin Quan originally thought that the other party saying they were his fans was just a polite comment, but he didn't expect it to be true!
If you don't really like him, why would you carry his jersey with you?
Sign, this name must be signed!
Even if the other party was not Mansour, but just an ordinary fan, Lin Quan could not refuse the other party's request.
He took the jersey from the opponent, carefully wrote his name on it, and then handed it back to Mansour.
"Thank you, Lin. You gave me a gift. I can't help but express it."
Mansour waved to his assistant, who handed him a car key.
"There is a decent car out there, so I'll give it to you as a return gift. I hope you like it!"
Lin Quan didn't recognize the car logo on it, but Mansour's car couldn't be an ordinary car.
This thing must be expensive.
But he doesn’t have a driver’s license and can’t drive!
"Well, Mr. Mansour, you are too polite. I don't have a driver's license and I can't drive. Should I just forget about this gift?"
Lin Quan felt a little guilty because he just signed a name for the other party, but he wanted to get a luxury car from the other party.
Mansour was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Lin Quan didn't even have a driver's license.
But when I thought about it carefully, it suddenly became clear.
Lin Quan is not yet 18 years old. According to the laws of various European countries, he is indeed not qualified to obtain a driver's license.
It's all because Lin Quan's performance was so outstanding that people subconsciously ignored his age.
Mansour also made such a mistake at this time.
"Sorry, I didn't do the research beforehand. Let's exchange gifts!"
At this time Guardiola and Sofia just walked out.
Mansour saw the contract that Sophia brought over and understood that Lin Quan and Guardiola probably came here to buy a house.
So he opened his mouth and said:
"This lady, this house that Mr. Lin is interested in, just charge it to my account!"
Of course Sophia knew who the other party was. He was a wealthy man from the Middle East.
His UAE consortium has many business contacts in Germany and has cooperated with her own company many times.
It can be said that a large part of the reason for the rise in house prices in Germany during this period is due to the real estate speculation by the Middle East consortium.
"Okay Mr. Mansour!"
Lin Quan hadn't agreed yet, so Sophia agreed on his behalf.
"Then I won't disturb you. I wish you a happy stay in Munich!"
Mansour waved to Lin Quan and Guardiola, surrounded by assistants, turned and left.
Guardiola and everyone were stunned: What happened in the five minutes he was away?
Why did the boss of Manchester City give Lin Quan a house worth millions?
