Chapter 223 If nothing unexpected happens, accidents will happen

London, a civilian airport.

The aircraft agent dressed in a suit brought Ling Feng and Sophia into a spacious hangar.

Immediately, he introduced Ling Feng enthusiastically:

"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 aircraft.

Ling Feng is a person who listens to advice.

Moreover, Beckham's advice is very reliable.

After buying a private jet, whether you go to see Barbara yourself or Barbara comes to see you, you can save a lot of time and trouble.

Moreover, after buying a private jet, it will not only make it more convenient for you to meet your girlfriend, but if your parents want to travel abroad or watch your away games, they can also take a private jet!

This is a two-for-one thing!

So, he decided and handed the matter over to the female assistant.

And Sophia's style of dealing with things has always been vigorous and resolute.

After just two days, she selected the most suitable model for Ling Feng based on 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 is 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 a private jet of the same size, so it is not subject to too many climate and temperature restrictions and can take off from any runway.

A brand new Beechcraft King Air 350i is priced at around £ million.

Of course, the price will fluctuate depending on the age of the aircraft and the mileage flown.

The King Air 350i in front of Ling Feng is ten years old.

For an airplane, ten years old is definitely not old. It can even be regarded as a child in the airplane world.

Normally, a well-maintained King Air 350i will last to years without any problems.

A King Air 350i can accommodate two pilots and nine passengers.

The flight speed is similar to that of civil aviation 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 meet Barbara, or Barbara flies from Budapest to London to meet him, it is more than enough.

The entire flight only takes two and a half hours!

"So, this is your best choice!"

After listening to the introduction from the flight agent, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and nodded pretending to understand:

"Well, that sounds pretty good."

Although, owning a private jet is a very honorable thing.

However, after careful consideration, Ling Feng decided to accept the female assistant’s proposal to rent before buying!

It's not that he can't come up with five million pounds.

Just based on the cost-effectiveness, I spent so much money to buy one of them at once.

Moreover, part of his funds were invested in the stock market.

As a reborn person, Ling Feng could not think of many opportunities to make a fortune except for the final championship of each international football competition and a few very impressive classic games.

Of course, even if he knew that the champion of the World Cup in Brazil was Germany, he would not dare to place a bet.

You know, as a professional player, you will be banned for participating in gambling!

Therefore, after much thought, he came up with an investment project that was sure to make a profit without losing any money.

That’s buying Apple stock!

As the company with the highest market capitalization in the world, Apple’s stock is the safest investment and financial product!

Therefore, since last summer, he has successively bought shares of Apple.

At that time, Apple's stock price was still $85.

And just six months later, it has risen to 110 yuan!

The increase is gratifying!

At this time, Ling Feng would certainly not sell the stocks on hand to cash out.

Of course, in addition to the independent investment project of Apple, a considerable part of his income is handed over to his agent Mendes for financial investment.

Therefore, the liquid funds in Ling Feng's bank account that can be called at any time are only more than 5 million pounds.

His current weekly salary is only 70,000.

After paying the tax, the actual amount received was just over 40,000.

52 weeks a year, the annual salary is about two million pounds.

Of course, this is just his salary!

Off-site commercial income is the bulk of his income.

As he won the Premier League Player of the Year award, Ling Feng's reputation and influence in the commercial field continued 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.

Nearly five million pounds were directly credited to the account!

It is worth mentioning that as he made his relationship with Hungarian supermodel Barbara public, he also received invitations from many fashion brands.

For example, fendi, CK, Columbia, etc. have all extended olive branches to him.

Among them, CK also planned to offer a high price of five million pounds a year to let him be the spokesperson of a new series of underwear.

The last spokesperson for CK underwear was Beckham!

If Ling Feng hadn't been embarrassed and felt that his muscles were too weak to accept this kind of advertisement, the advertisements and photos of him naked from the waist up and wearing only underwear would have appeared in advertisements and on the Internet.

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 era idol sought after by young people!

Therefore, it’s not that he really doesn’t have money to buy a private jet, he just thinks leasing is more cost-effective.

When he performs well, signs a new contract with the club and gets a salary increase, or has more money, it won't be too late to get this private jet.

Moreover, airplanes, like cars, are both means of transportation.

The price of buying or leasing a private jet is not expensive.

The annual rent is only half a million pounds.

However, the cost of maintaining the machine is the biggest expense!

The costs incurred for flying such as hiring a pilot, parking, refueling and maintenance are all additional charges.

If you fly too frequently in a year, it will cost you at least a million pounds a year! However, in his opinion, if he can have a relationship with his girlfriend, it is very worthwhile!

As soon as he rented the private jet, Ling Feng immediately started a test flight!

And the destination is Budapest, Hungary!

. . .

The comfort of a private jet is much better than that of a commercial airliner.

No wonder those rich people like to travel by private jet!

I just watched Kaká’s dribbling highlights on the plane, and when Ling Feng realized what he was doing, he had already arrived in Budapest!

Barbara was very surprised by her boyfriend's sudden visit.

What moved her even more was that Ling Feng actually rented a private jet for her in order to have a better meeting between the two!

This is enough to prove that he is very serious about their relationship!

After the two had dinner together, they went to the hangar of the airport.

One hand pointed at the King Air 350i he had just rented, and the other hand hugged Barbara's slender waist. Ling Feng couldn't help but smile:

"Baby, if you want to see me in the future, you can jump on the plane at any time and it will send you to me!"

Hearing this, Barbara gave him a French kiss on the spot!

After spending half a day in Budapest, the two took a private plane back to England that evening.

The next day, the twenty-fourth round of the Premier League started, and Leicester City faced the challenge of Crystal Palace at home.

It is worth mentioning that the first round match between the two sides at London's Selhurst Park Stadium was also the first time Barbara watched Ling Feng's game live!

Ling Feng and Barbara just met three months ago;

Three months later, the two have become boyfriend and girlfriend!

However, this kind of exchange speed is not fast in any country.

Perhaps his girlfriend came to watch the battle in person and gave Ling Feng a BUFF.

From the first second of the game, the Blue Fox No. 7 frequently reached out for the ball, trying to dominate the rhythm of the game.

"Ling Feng seemed particularly excited in this game. Not only can he be seen on offense, but also on defense, he has repeatedly contributed wonderful prediction interceptions."

"It seems that the power of love can really make people stronger."

Along with the commentator's teasing, the on-site director also very wisely showed the camera to Ling Feng's parents who were watching the game in the stands, and to Barbara who was sitting in another stand.

"By the way, Ling Feng's family did not sit in the same bleacher area as his girlfriend. Could it be that Ling Feng hasn't brought his model girlfriend home to meet his parents?"

This was originally a joke from the narrator.

However, to the ears of many gossip media reporters, it is news that can be mined!

Many paparazzi’s burning souls of gossip have been ignited!

Even though the team did not field the strongest lineup, it carried out a certain range of rotations.

However, with the home advantage and Ling Feng's unusual activity, Leicester City held Crystal Palace in half-time at the King Power Stadium.

Twenty-eight minutes into the first half, Ling Feng completed the steal in the midfield and then crossed the ball to the right.

After Mahrez got the ball, he changed the rhythm of his feet. After shaking the full-back, he directly passed the penalty area diagonally with his left foot.

Before the defender could make a clearance, Ulloa shook his head, causing the ball to change its trajectory 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 win this game easily.

However, if nothing else happens, accidents will happen!

In the 37th minute of the first half, Ulloa accidentally collided with the opponent's defender while fighting for a header.

Then when I landed, I accidentally sprained my foot and sprained my ankle!

Unable to hold on, Ulloa was immediately substituted and then 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, neither experience nor strength can match the shorter Ulloa.

His foot skills are rough and his back-up ability is average. He can only head the ball from the frontcourt, which is at best the level of the main players in the British Championship.

This season, in addition to getting starting opportunities in the FA Cup and League Cup, Wood can only play in the league and Europa League during the garbage time when the outcome is determined.

Therefore, his condition is also worrying.

Moreover, in this game, Crystal Palace was inspired by Manchester United in the previous round and used regional defense to target Ling Feng.

This move, in a nutshell, is not to arrange someone to defend Ling Feng alone, but to adopt a regional defense to block Ling Feng's breakthrough and passing space.

In this way, other Blue Fox players will be left open and gain more room to play.

This move definitely has more advantages than disadvantages for Leicester City's opponents!

Because the threat of other players in Leicester City's formation is definitely not as good as Ling Feng!

Even if you short them, it is still much better than shorting Ling Feng!

Such a targeted tactical arrangement effectively restrained Leicester City's central attack.

With Ling Feng's current dribbling ability, in the relatively narrow space in the middle, he is still not able to break into the Longtan alone like Hazard and Messi, and after passing two or three people, he can complete the shot or the final pass. .

He can only use his intimidation to attract defenses and create space for his teammates.

In this way, scoring goals can only depend on the ability of teammates to seize opportunities.

He wants to trust his teammates.

However, my teammates are not doing their best!

In this game, Wood, who came on as a substitute, repeatedly missed several good opportunities.

An overhead long pass from Ling Feng, he failed to stop the ball in one move and was caught by the goalkeeper; a cross from Albrighton, his header hit the outside of the goal post

And Ling Feng's most trusted partner Mahrez, except for the assists in the first half, was not online in some states.

A shot that cut inside, I thought it went in, but I didn't expect it to hit the goalpost with a "bang" and then bounce out of the baseline!

I wonder if the weather has started to get warmer, and his winter enhanced BUFF effect has disappeared.

Even in the 70th minute of the second half, Pearson felt that the 1-0 score was not safe and directly replaced Vardy as a left winger, but he failed to allow the team to score a second goal.

Instead, Crystal Palace seized several opportunities and launched two quick counterattacks, threatening Leicester City's goal.

If Schmeichel hadn't been focused enough and in pretty good shape, he might have been equalized or overtaken by his opponent.

Finally, Pearson also saw the constipation of the frontcourt offense, so he replaced Mahrez, who was not physically fit, and replaced him with Maguire.

Adding a central defender and strengthening the defense in the backcourt, the Blue Fox still struggled to hold on to the final victory when the buzzer sounded at the end of the game.

Although the season double play against Crystal Palace was finally completed!

However, there was no trace of joy on Leicester City coach Pearson's face.

He could only pray for Ulloa in his heart, hoping that nothing serious would happen to him.

During the winter window, he thought the team's three forwards were enough.

But who would have thought that in the first game of the winter window, the team's second forward would suffer an injury!

This is so good, there is not even a chance to make up for the forward.

This also made Pearson regret his decision not to strengthen the striker in the winter window.

If they had taken Kramaric directly in the winter window, they would not have been so passive.
