Chapter 1194 New Year's Gift (Part 1)

Afterwards, everyone did not stay in this mansion any longer. His Royal Highness Charles invited Guo Tailai and his family to visit Kensington Palace not far away, and also enjoyed an authentic British court afternoon tea.

During the chat, Charles was very interested in Guo Tailai's yacht "the World is Not Enough". However, because of his special status, it would be inconvenient for Guo Tailai to invite him to Huaxia. Fortunately, China has promised Guo Tailai that the protection of yachts will be relaxed after the new year. Guo Tailai also promised Charles that when the time is right, he will drive the yacht to England, and then everyone will go on vacation at sea together.

From the beginning to the end, Prince Charles did not say a word about the freehold price of the mansion. It's too embarrassing for the big shots to bargain in person. This kind of trivial matter can be solved by the housekeepers and assistants of both parties. We are good friends and don't talk about it.

But obviously, no matter what the price negotiated by the two parties is, it will definitely not be too outrageous. Therefore, it can be said that after waiting a few days for this house, after negotiating the price and amending the registration of property rights, it will basically belong to Guo Tai.

On New Year's Day in 2002, in the 21st round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur played against Blackburn at home.

In the past 20 league rounds, Tottenham Hotspur has an unbeaten record of 14 wins and 6 draws, ranking first in the league. City rivals Arsenal are in second place with a gap of two points, while Chelsea are one point behind Arsenal and are temporarily in third place.

From ranking thirteenth in the last season to ranking first in the middle of this season, Bai Baihe's mood seems to have jumped from the bottom of hell to heaven, and they don't know how to express their excitement every day.

This season, so far, Bai Lily's two major regrets according to the polls are that they only drew 1:1 in the 13th round of the same city derby with arch rivals Arsenal, and failed to win. Win the city rival at home. However, although this is a bit regrettable, it doesn't matter. Although they didn't win, the Tottenham team didn't lose after all.

The most regrettable thing for Bai Baihe is that the new owner of the team, the mysterious Mr. T, has not come to White Hart Lane to watch a game in half a season since he bought the team. Every time before a home game, it has become a habit at White Hart Lane to watch the No. 1 box collectively with the eyes of all the Bai Lilies in the stadium. Even the TV director will film the situation in the box before each opening, and the on-site commentator will habitually explain every time.

This habit of the Bai Baihes made even the fans of the visiting team who came to the away game to watch the game very curious and also very much looking forward to it.

As usual on match days, the Bai Lilies entered the arena one hour before the opening. Thanks to the substantial improvement in league results this year, the attendance at White Hart Lane has also remained high. Tottenham was originally the team with the most fans in London. After mobilizing the enthusiasm of the fans, every game is fully attended. The White Hart Lane Stadium with only 36,200 seats is now difficult to get a ticket. Please, there are countless fans outside the stadium every match day waiting for someone to refund their tickets.

White Hart Lane is also the famous home stadium of the Devils. Although there is still more than an hour before the opening, the seats are already full. There was a lot of voices, and fans I didn't know sat in their seats happily chatting about the latest games, favorite players, this year's lineup, and coaches, all without stopping.

The various bars outside the stadium were also full of excited fans. Fans who didn't get tickets and those who couldn't enter the stadium for various reasons gathered in the bar, watched the big screen in the bar, chatted about the pros and cons of the players on both sides of the game, and predicted the score. Although they couldn't enter the stadium to watch the game, their hearts were connected with the fans in the stadium.

Twenty minutes before the opening, Guo Tailai and Charles' motorcade came to the parking lot. VIP boxes are always special.

"Charles, the environment and traffic conditions around the stadium are really terrible!" Guo Tailai couldn't help complaining to Charles in the car: "Look at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge Stadium. Deer Lane, has it become like this? Shouldn’t the City of London government improve this situation?”

"Please, G!" Although Prince Charles became a Tottenham fan because of Guo Tailai, he has nothing to do about it. He is just a crown prince who has been waiting for decades: "The Stamford Bridge is in Fulham. Don't even look, how far are they from Buckingham Palace? How far is it from White Hart Lane?"

"If I use the construction of a new modern stadium as a condition and strongly request the London City Government to improve the surrounding conditions of the stadium, is it possible?" Guo Tailai asked Prince Charles: "The new stadium that can undertake international competitions must at least The kind that is more advanced than Wembley Stadium, White Hart Lane has not undertaken international competitions for decades, right?"

"Maybe?" To be honest, Charles didn't know if the city government would consider it. However, as a politician who was born to be an heir, Charles can still understand some things: "As long as the investment is large enough and the jobs created are enough, those guys will consider it."

"Then I will ask the manager of the club to use this condition to negotiate with the city government." Guo Tailai nodded: "However, I will definitely ask for the construction speed at that time. If the construction companies in the UK cannot meet my construction speed and quality requirements , then I might have to go to other places to recruit construction teams."

"Of course, this is your right." Charles replied noncommittally.

The car had already arrived at the parking lot. Amidst the noise of the stadium, everyone got out of the car, entered the dedicated passage, and went straight to the No. 1 box exclusively for the club chairman.

Charles often comes to the game and is already a regular visitor, so he has been leading the way. When he entered the passage and walked to the door of the box, the club manager Mr. Peter, who had received the news in advance, was already standing here waiting respectfully.

"His Royal Highness." Mr. Peter first saluted Prince Charles before turning to Guo Tailai with a smile on his face: "Boss, this should be the first time you have come to watch a game in Box No. 1. Boss, welcome to White Hart Lane court!"

While speaking, Mr. Peter pushed open the door of Box No. 1 with his own hands, and invited everyone into the box.

"It's time to see which celebrity fans come to the White Hart Lane Stadium before we start." The director in the stadium has habitually pointed the camera at this side, and the on-site commentator also began to explain: "We saw the hot fans again. The number one fan of the Spurs, His Royal Highness Prince Charles. Welcome to the arrival of His Royal Highness!"

The audience at the stadium cheered as the live commentator explained.

"Oh oh oh! My God! My God!" Suddenly, the on-site commentator became excited, and his tone became extremely excited: "Look who we saw! Oh! My God!"
