Chapter 228
The old man was very happy, but he did not know what to do.
Chapter 223 If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen
A civil airport in London.
The plane agent, dressed in a suit, took Ling Feng and Sophia to a spacious hangar.
Then he enthusiastically introduced Ling Feng:
“This is the Beechcraft King Air 350 I told you about!”
Looking along the plane agent’s hand, what came into view was a pure white turboprop plane.
Ling Feng is a person who listens to advice.
Moreover, Beckham’s advice is very reliable.
After buying a private jet, whether he goes to see Barbara or Barbara comes to see him, he can save a lot of time and trouble.
Moreover, after buying a private jet, it will not only make it more convenient for him to meet his girlfriend, but also for his parents to travel abroad or go to his away games, they can also take a private jet!
This is a win-win situation!
So he decided and handed the matter to his female assistant.
And Sofia’s style of doing things has always been vigorous and resolute.
Just two days later, she selected the most suitable model for Ling Feng according to his needs and budget.
That is the Beechcraft King Air 350!
The Beechcraft King Air 350 is a product of the private jet company Hawker Beechcraft and the best-selling business jet in the world.
Moreover, it is also one of the most fuel-efficient aircraft. The fuel efficiency is much higher than that of private aircraft of the same size, so it will not be restricted by too much climate and temperature, and can take off from any runway.
A brand new Beechcraft King Air 350i costs about 5.5 million pounds.
Of course, the price will fluctuate according to the age of the aircraft and the mileage.
The King Air 350i in front of Ling Feng is ten years old.
For an aircraft, ten years old is definitely not old, and it can even be regarded as a kid in the aircraft world.
A well-maintained King Air 350i can be used for twenty or thirty years without any problems.
A King Air 350i can accommodate two pilots and nine passengers.
The flying speed is similar to that of civil aircraft, and the maximum range can reach 2,500 kilometers.
The flight distance from London, England to Budapest, Hungary is about 1,800 kilometers.
Therefore, whether Ling Feng flies from London to Budapest to see Barbara, or Barbara flies from Budapest to London to see him, it is more than enough.
And the entire flight time only takes two and a half hours!
“So, this is your best choice!”
After listening to the introduction of the plane agent, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and nodded:
“Well, it sounds good.”
Although owning a private plane is a very face-saving thing.
However, after consideration, Ling Feng decided to accept the female assistant’s proposal to rent first and then buy!
It’s not that he can’t afford 5 million pounds.
It’s just that based on the cost-effectiveness, it’s too expensive to buy a plane at once.
Moreover, part of his funds have been invested in the stock market.
As a reborn person, Ling Feng can’t think of too many opportunities to make a fortune in his mind except for the final champion of each international football tournament and several very impressive classic games.
Of course, even if he knew that the champion of the Brazil World Cup was Germany, he didn’t dare to bet.
You know, as a professional player, participating in gambling will be banned!
So, after thinking about it, he thought of an investment project that is sure to make money.
That is to buy Apple’s stock!
As the company with the highest market value in the world, Apple’s stock is the most reliable investment product!
So, he started buying Apple’s stock last summer.
At that time, Apple’s stock price was still 85 US dollars.
And only half a year later, it rose to 110!
The increase is gratifying!
At this time, Ling Feng certainly would not sell the stocks on hand to cash out.
Of course, in addition to Apple’s independent investment project, a considerable part of his income is given to his agent Mendes for financial investment.
Therefore, the liquid funds that Ling Feng can call at any time in his bank account are only more than 5 million pounds.
His current weekly salary is only 70,000.
After paying taxes, the actual amount he gets is just over 40,000.
52 weeks a year,
The annual salary is about two million pounds.
Of course, this is just his salary!
The commercial income off the field is the bulk of his income.
With the Premier League’s best player in the first half of the season, Ling Feng’s fame and influence in the business field continue to rise with the promotion of the Premier League.
In just one month during the winter transfer window, he signed endorsement contracts with several brands.
Directly earned nearly five million pounds!
It is worth mentioning that with his public relationship with Hungarian supermodel Barbara, he also received invitations from many fashion brands.
For example, Fendi, CK, Columbia, etc., all extended olive branches to him.
Among them, CK also plans to offer a high price of five million pounds a year to let him serve as the spokesperson for the new series of underwear.
And the previous spokesperson for CK underwear was Beckham!
If Ling Feng hadn’t been embarrassed and felt that his muscles were not enough to accept such an advertisement, his naked body, wearing only underwear, advertisements and photos would have appeared in advertisements and on the Internet long ago.
According to data released by a British market research company, Ling Feng has become one of the most popular advertising stars in the UK with his outstanding appearance comparable to that of a movie star, his outstanding performance on the field, and his sunny image in advertisements.
Among them, more than 80% of his social media fans are teenagers under the age of 25.
It can be seen that he has become a new-age idol sought after by young people!
So, he really doesn’t have no money to buy a private jet, but he thinks leasing is more cost-effective.
Wait until he performs well, signs a new contract with the club to increase his salary, or has more money on hand, then it will not be too late to take over this private jet.
Moreover, airplanes, like cars, are means of transportation.
The price of buying or leasing a private jet is not expensive.
The annual rent is only 500,000 pounds.
However, the cost of maintaining the aircraft is the biggest expense!
Because the costs of hiring pilots, parking, refueling and maintenance are all extra charges.
If you fly too frequently in a year, it will cost at least one million pounds a year!
However, in his opinion, if it can make him and his girlfriend feel good, it is also worth it!
As soon as he rented the private jet, Ling Feng started his test flight!
And the destination was Budapest, Hungary!
. . .
The comfort of private jets is much better than that of civil airliners.
No wonder those rich people like to travel by private jets!
Just watching Kaka’s dribbling highlights on the plane, Ling Feng had already arrived in Budapest when he reacted!
Barbara was very surprised by her boyfriend’s sudden visit.
What touched her even more was that Ling Feng actually rented a private jet for her so that they could meet better!
This was enough to prove that he was very serious about his feelings for the two!
After spending dinner together, the two came to the hangar at the airport.
Pointing at the King Air 350i he had just rented with one hand and holding Barbara’s slender waist with the other hand, Ling Feng couldn’t help but smile and said:
“Baby, if you want to see me in the future, you can jump on the plane at any time and it will take you to me!”
Hearing this, Barbara gave him a French kiss on the spot!
After staying in Budapest for half a day, the two took a private plane back to England together that night.
The next day, the 24th round of the Premier League kicked off, and Leicester City welcomed the challenge of Crystal Palace at home.
It is worth mentioning that the first round of the two sides at Selhurst Park in London was also the first time Barbara watched Ling Feng’s game on the spot!
Three months ago, Ling Feng and Barbara just met;
Three months later, the two have become boyfriend and girlfriend!
However, this speed of communication is not fast in any country.
Perhaps it was because his girlfriend came to watch the game in person, which gave Ling Feng a buff.
From the first second of the game, the Fox No.7 frequently reached for the ball, wanting to dominate the rhythm of the game.
“In this game, Ling Feng seemed particularly excited. Not only could he be seen in the offense, but he also made many wonderful anticipatory interceptions in defense.”
“It seems that the power of love can really make people stronger”
Accompanied by the commentator’s ridicule, the on-site director also very tactfully gave the camera to Ling Feng’s parents who were watching the game in the stands, and Barbara who was sitting in another stand.
“By the way, Ling Feng’s family did not sit in the same stand area with his girlfriend. Could it be that Ling Feng has not yet brought this model girlfriend home to meet his parents?”
This was originally a joke from the commentator.
However, to many gossip media reporters, it was a piece of news that could be dug up!
The gossip spirits in the hearts of many paparazzi were ignited!
Even though the team did not send out the strongest lineup and made a certain range of rotations.
However, with the advantage of home court and Ling Feng’s unusual activity, Leicester City pressed Crystal Palace in the half court at the King Power Stadium.
In the 28th minute of the first half, Ling Feng completed a steal in the midfield and then passed the ball diagonally to the right.
After Mahrez got the ball, he changed his rhythm, shook the full-back, and then directly passed the ball diagonally to the penalty area with his left foot.
Ulloa rushed to the ball before the defender cleared it, and shook his head, just in time to change the trajectory of the ball and get into the goal.
The score was rewritten as one to zero!
Judging from the situation on the field, if nothing unexpected happens, Leicester City will easily win this game.
But, if nothing unexpected happens, accidents will happen!
In the 37th minute of the first half, Ulloa accidentally bumped into the opponent’s defender while competing for a header.
Then he accidentally twisted his foot when he landed and sprained his ankle!
Ulloa, who could not hold on, was immediately replaced and sent to the hospital for examination.
He was replaced by substitute center Wood.
Although Wood is taller, he is more like a traditional center.
However, in terms of experience and strength, he is not as good as the shorter Ulloa.
His footwork is rough, and his ability to play with his back is average. He can only stand in the frontcourt and head the ball. At most, he is at the level of a main player in the English Championship.
This season, in addition to getting the chance to start in the FA Cup and League Cup, Wood can only play in the garbage time of the league and the Europa League when the outcome is already determined.
Therefore, his condition is also worrying.
Moreover, in this game, Crystal Palace got inspiration from Manchester United in the last round and used the means of regional joint defense to target Ling Feng.
In short, this move is not to arrange a single person to defend Ling Feng, but to adopt regional defense to block Ling Feng’s breakthrough and passing space.
In this way, other Blue Fox players will be left open and have more room to play.
This move is definitely more beneficial than harmful to Leicester City’s opponents!
Because the threat of other players in Leicester City is definitely not as great as Ling Feng!
Even if they are left open, it is much better than leaving Ling Feng open!
And such a targeted tactical arrangement has well restrained Leicester City’s central attack.
With Ling Feng’s current dribbling ability, in the relatively narrow space in the middle, he can’t do it like Hazard and Messi, who can go alone and pass two or three people to complete the shot or the last pass.
He can only use his deterrence to attract defense and create space for his teammates.
In this way, scoring a goal depends on his teammates’ ability to seize opportunities.
He wants to trust his teammates.
But his teammates are not strong enough!
In this game, Wood, who came on as a substitute, missed several good opportunities.
A long pass from Ling Feng, he failed to stop the ball and was caught by the goalkeeper; a cross from Albrighton, he headed the ball to the outside of the goal post
Mahrez, Ling Feng’s most trusted partner, was not in good shape except for the assist in the first half.
A cut-in shot, I thought it went in, but I didn’t expect it to hit the goal post with a “bang”, and then bounced out of the bottom line!
I don’t know if the weather has started to warm up, and his winter enhancement BUFF effect has disappeared
Even in the 70th minute of the second half, Pearson felt that the score of 1-0 was not safe, and directly replaced Vardy to play as a left winger, but he couldn’t let the team score the second goal.
Instead, Crystal Palace seized several opportunities and made two quick counterattacks, threatening Leicester City’s goal.
If Schmeichel hadn’t been focused enough and in good shape, I’m afraid the opponent would have equalized or surpassed the score long ago.
Finally, Pearson also saw the constipation of the frontcourt attack, so he replaced Mahrez, who was not in good physical condition, with Maguire.
Adding a central defender and strengthening the defense in the backcourt, the Blue Foxes still struggled to hold on to the final victory when the whistle sounded at the end of the game.
Although they finally completed the season double kill against Crystal Palace!
However, Leicester City coach Pearson did not show any joy on his face.
He could only pray for Ulloa in his heart, hoping that nothing serious would happen to him.
In the winter window, he thought that the configuration of three forwards in the team was enough.
But who would have thought that in the first game just after the winter window, the team’s second forward suffered an injury!
This time, there is no chance to make up a forward.
This also made Pearson
Elson regretted his decision not to strengthen the forward line in the winter window.
If they had directly signed Kramaric in the winter window, they would not have been so passive.
