Chapter 146 New Residence

"Adele, do I have to buy an estate around London?" In the luxury house in Kensington, London, George said to Adele with a tangled face, "I think this house is already pretty good now, and the geographical location is quite good. There is no need to go to the suburbs to buy an estate that is useless, right?"

Even though George had lived in Britain for more than 20 years in his lifetime, his style was more in line with a British gentleman who had received a good British aristocratic education. However, when certain things conflicted with the ideas of his previous life, George would still show a different aspect from other aristocrats.

"Brother, although I can understand your thoughts, please at least consider the opinions of others." Seeing that George was still reluctant, Adele sighed with a headache. She finally experienced George's unconsciousness in some aspects: "Although the law does not explicitly stipulate that aristocrats must own a manor in the suburbs of London, this is the tradition of British aristocrats. If they don't do this, they will be despised by people in the circle. Moreover, with your current situation and status, it is not as if you were to find an excuse to continue fooling around in this kind of thing as before."

In the past, George did not buy a manor near London according to the tradition of British aristocrats, or near Oxford and Cambridge, mainly because he always rudes off the special nature of the football coaching profession he is engaged in. After all, as a coach, his work location often changes at any time due to the different relationships of the team he plays in. For example, George himself, before acquiring Tottenham Hotspur, he lived in cities such as Barcelona, ​​Eindhoven and Manchester for a long time. In this case, he naturally had sufficient reasons to avoid this tradition and not buy a manor near London.

Now, George has become the owner and head coach of Tottenham Hotspur club. This means that George, who has to settle in London for a long time and works in London, is destined to be unable to avoid the tradition of British aristocrats as before. Otherwise, things will be as Adele said, and the maverick George will inevitably attract dissatisfaction and exclusion from the British aristocratic circle again.

Although no one would be so stupid that he would say such words in front of George or dare to confront him, and the influence of traditional aristocrats in the UK has declined sharply a hundred years ago, in private, many of George's investments and industries in the UK will definitely be hindered to varying degrees. Even Tottenham, which he personally controls, may be affected to a certain extent!

Although it is a bit cruel to say this, it is true. Although these traditional aristocrats are far inferior to George in terms of strength and personal assets, when these people gather, even if they do not connect with each other, even George has to pay attention to their energy.

This is also the main reason why the British royal family suggested to George to buy Kensington Palace, compared with other traditional nobles who had long owned large estates in the suburbs of London. George, who was young and rich, and had no similar property under his name, was simply the most suitable candidate to take over!

You should know that although the British royal family is not short of wealth, and its assets are worth tens of billions of pounds, in fact, most of the assets of the British royal family are real estate and various works of art that cannot be realized, and the amount of cash that can be called is pitifully small. The travel expenses of royal members, as well as the maintenance costs of many palaces and castles under their name, are expensive every year, which has caused a heavy financial burden to the British royal family. Therefore, the British royal family will take the initiative to propose George to take over Kensington Palace in this time regardless of their face.

"Okay. Then, you will be responsible for this matter." Seeing Adele so persistent and realizing that he could not avoid this problem, George nodded and agreed to his sister's proposal. "But Adele, there is one thing I have to make clear, that is, I must not agree to the royal family's request to buy the Kensington Palace! The situation of that palace is too special. If I rashly buy it before I don't have enough reputation, my brother will probably be stolen on the fire and become the target of public criticism."

As the former residence of Princess Diana, Kensington Palace has a very special status in the hearts of the British people. Therefore, if George is not famous, it will easily cause criticism from people. And the British media who like to make trouble will definitely make a big fuss about this matter, causing George a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, George did not choose to agree to the proposal of the British royal family immediately. On the one hand, it was because the fact that buying Kensington Palace was too big to attract wind, and it would definitely attract people's attention. This was not the result he wanted to see if he liked to make a fortune; on the other hand, it was because the conditions offered by the British royal family really made George feel unacceptable. Since you are unable to make ends meet and cannot afford the daily maintenance of Kensington Palace, then just sell Kensington Palace to me directly. Why should you add additional terms and require that the royal family still have the power to use this palace after this?

The maintenance and renovation costs are borne by oneself, and the royal family continues to have the right to live here. Only fools and suckers are willing to agree to such a thing.

"Of course there is no problem with this." Seeing George finally made concessions on this, Adele finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I also think Kensington Palace is not a suitable choice. That's where you are going to have a two-person world with Sister Ellie, and let those royal members disturb you every now and then."

"From the current situation, I think Boydleyton Manor located next to Highway 7 is a very suitable choice. Boydleyton not only has a very long history and is not far from London, but also the most luxurious and modern manor near London. It is also private enough and will not be spyed by the outside world when prepared." Since this matter has been decided, Adele immediately came up with the plan she had prepared long ago. "Of course, I will ask Yili for advice before this."

Although George is not married yet, from a certain perspective, Elizabeth Hood, who is already an unmarried couple with George, can also be regarded as the future hostess of the manor. Therefore, it is natural that Adele needs to win Elizabeth's approval before making the final decision. If the latter does not agree, Adele needs to choose a new manor.

Just as George initially finalized his new home in London under the urging of Adele, Bobby Robson, who was fired by Newcastle, finally made a decision. After repeated consideration, the old coach agreed to George's invitation to serve as the youth training director of Tottenham Hotspur Club!
