Chapter 181 The Duchess’s Pastoral Dream

It was raining heavily in Manchester, and Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou were sitting in the Radisson Hotel. They looked a little bored, so they played a lot of small games to pass the time.

The Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel, Manchester is located in the city centre, 3 kilometers from the Manchester City Training Center to the east and just over a kilometer to the Royal Northern College of Music to the south. It has been almost a month since they arrived in Manchester. The couple has been living here and has reserved the entire top floor of the suite.

According to their habits, they don't like to stay in hotels for a long time, so they initially planned to find a house in Cheshire, but unexpectedly they encountered some trouble and the matter was delayed.

In the British administrative division, a county is almost equivalent to a prefecture-level city in China, but in terms of jurisdiction area, it is actually a county.

Cheshire, also known as Chestershire in the past, is located immediately to the south of Greater Manchester and Merseyside, which is Liverpool. Compared to the two urban counties above our heads, Cheshire is less developed and therefore has a more relaxed and pristine natural scenery.

Especially in the Cheshire Golden Triangle area of ​​Alderley Head, Winslow and Prestbury, just south of Manchester City, the beautiful pastoral scenery has attracted many nearby rich and famous people to call this place their home, from Cantona to David Beckham and boxing champion Tyson all lived here.

Professional players are all wealthy people. Stars from Manchester City and Manchester United like to rent or buy in this area. When Grandpa Mo and Ronaldo played for Manchester United, they also lived in Alderley Corner, Cheshire, only two meters away from the center of Manchester City. It's very convenient to just put your foot on the accelerator for about ten kilometers.

Even many Liverpool players like to live in the Golden Triangle of Cheshire. There is a high-speed connection 50 kilometers away, which is not a problem.

In 2014, Zhuoyang was preparing to move to Manchester United in a high-profile manner. At that time, he had already found a house in Cheshire in advance and even paid a deposit. However, things went wrong in the end. The transfer fell through and part of the deposit was lost.

After joining Manchester City, Zhuoyang's first choice was naturally there, but the house he was interested in two years ago is now occupied by Manchester United's Argentinian defender Rojo. So, Kou Kou made the decision, and the two of them fell in love with Soo, who was also nearby. House in Erskja.

After Manchester United's Norwegian legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer retired in August 2007, he immediately joined Ferguson's coaching staff and later served as the U21 coach of Manchester United's reserve team at the Red Devils' Carrington base.

In 2010, Solskjaer led the Manchester United reserve team to win the Premier League reserve team championship. Then he received an invitation from his old club before moving to Manchester United more than ten years ago and his hometown team Molde Club in Norway. Officially started the journey of coaching the first team.

The house in Alderley Corner, Cheshire, was bought by Solskjaer more than ten years ago. After returning to Norway to coach, it has been vacant these years. Suo Zhai is an old house, built before World War II. It sounds antique, but in fact it is old and dilapidated, and it occupies a very large area.

The facilities were old and the functional layout of the entire yard was unreasonable, so it was never rented out until Kou Kou fell in love with it.

Pastoral life is very attractive, but it refers to urban pastoral, not really living in isolation with two cows per acre of land. Kou Kou didn't take a fancy to Suo Zhai's house, but she took a fancy to its location and surrounding environment.

Mrs. Zhuo plans to buy the Suo House and then tear it down and rebuild it. Not even a tile will be left in the old house. The new house will become a Victorian-style building with a retro appearance but a modern and fully functional interior.

It’s okay for my wife to want the stars in the sky, let alone build a house.

Zhuo Yang raised his hands in agreement.

Zhuoyang asked for a call from Sir Alex Ferguson and directly contacted Solskjaer in Norway. To be honest, Suo Sheng was a little reluctant to sell the house in Cheshire. He liked the feeling of the old house that fit well with the steam cap era, and it would be unthinkable to stay there even if he couldn't live in it.

Moreover, Solskjaer has always dreamed of returning to Manchester United to coach one day. Ferguson also favored him the most among many disciples, not Ryan Giggs, so Solskjaer actually never thought about selling his house.

But he couldn't stand Zhuo Yang's deception. After a phone call, Suo Sheng felt that once he returned to Manchester United to coach, it would be most reasonable to live in the city. Alderley Corner in Cheshire was useless. Therefore, the open-minded Suo Sheng transferred the old house to Zhuo Yang at a fairly reasonable price.

Suo Sheng is indeed a good man. Before the settlement, he reminded Zhuoyang: if the renovation is to be carried out, it must be approved by the Alderley Town Council, otherwise there will be no door. And it is basically difficult to get recognition. The more famous you are, the harder it is.

Is there such a thing? Zhuo Yang closed his wallet and hurriedly went to inquire carefully. The entire acquisition and renovation budget is at least 4.5 million pounds. Even though the Zhuo couple are rich, they cannot spend money inexplicably.

Ronaldo has to be blamed for this.

After Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Manchester United from Portugal in the summer of 2003, he soon found a house to rent in Cheshire. However, the villas here were generally old, and the layout and infrastructure were somewhat unreasonable. Professional players need a lot of functional space, such as large gyms and large swimming pools, etc., which can only be made in old houses.

In the past few years, Ronaldo moved back and forth in Cheshire and changed several places. It was not until 2008 that he bought a favorite villa and completely renovated it, spending 4 million pounds.

After Ronaldo went to Real Madrid, the mansion was rented by Nani. The current tenant is Luke Shaw, and the rent is 7,000 pounds per month.

When Ronaldo was carrying out construction projects in Alderley Point, he aroused dissatisfaction among local residents. They believed that the noise and construction destroyed the natural environment here.

This area is entirely a villa area. Except for the rich and famous, the natives living here are all current dignitaries whose ancestors were rich. Whether it’s out of jealousy or disdain for the nouveau riche players, the reasons for ‘environmental protection’ are as great as the sky.

Cristiano Ronaldo also said all the good things back then, and the villa design plan was changed several times before he finally built his red brick three-story house. During this period, due to the obstruction of local old-school celebrities, the construction was suspended several times. Otherwise, how could it not be repaired until 2008.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to try something new. He opened an old villa in Cheshire and set a precedent for reconstruction. I'm afraid someone will take the lead in these things.

Rooney then demolished his own house. Fatty is a gangster, and he is from Merseyside next door, so he is not as particular as Cristiano Ronaldo. He doesn't even bother to say hello, and just gets on the bulldozers and excavators, roaring with smoke and dust.

Rooney's unscrupulousness angered the old gentlemen, but if you are too scared, you don't care about this, little fat guy. The gentlemen blocked the road to prevent construction materials from entering, so Xiaopang called his brothers and masters on the road. The gentlemen sued the court, and Xiaopang spent money to hire the best lawyer.

If you want to go, the project can't be stopped anyway.

In this way, Lu Xiaopang quickly completed the reconstruction of the Cheshire villa by relying on his bravery and brute force.

Ronaldo made a good start, but Rooney followed closely but blocked the path. The gentlemen of Cheshire were deeply aware that talents meet soldiers. In order to prevent other stars from imitating their example, they took advantage of their greatest advantage - the parliament, and soon passed the "Residential Protection of Natural Environment Act" in the local town council.

If something rises to the legal level and is endorsed, it will be enough confidence. According to this local act, anyone who wants to change the topography, appearance, roads, and all related building facilities of the residence must obtain the consent of the town council, and it is not your land that you make the decision.

It’s not that you are not allowed to build it, but it must first be approved by the masters. As for how and how long it will take to get approval, guess what?

Once this bill was passed, Aguero, Kompany, Valencia, Lingard and other people who had planned to follow up all backed down. Now the pastoral dream of Mrs. Zhuo, Duchess Christine, has also been blocked by the sound of drums.
