Meet Xiao Di in Abu Dhabi and go to see the "Club World Cup" together
In a previous post, I wrote that I went to a ball game with Xiaodi. Next, we look at Xiao Di, the story of the Chinese fans who decided to live in the UK because they came to the UK for a trip and liked the British Chelsea football team.
1, parents opened a logistics company, the family is relatively wealthy
Xiao Di and his wife, both from Shanghai, were born in 1986 and his girlfriend was born in 1992.
Xiao Di's family should be very wealthy, his parents opened a logistics company, before he had been working in the logistics company at home, and then he felt that life was the same, so he chose to come out alone, went to work in a Zhejiang steel pipe building materials company, and went to work for two years.
2, want to watch the ball every day, stay in the UK
Xiao Di is a fan, in 2017, because he liked the Chelsea team, he went to the United Kingdom with his wife to see a team scene he liked, xiao Di originally thought that after watching this ball, he would leave the United Kingdom.
But when he was traveling in England, the tour guide said: "How good is it here in The UK, the salary is also high, you like football so much, you stay in the UK, go to the club on the weekend, how good?" If you want to stay in the UK, it's not hard. ”
Xiao Di said: "I later learned that this tour guide said this to all tourists, people just said it casually, but I heard it in my heart." ”
In 2017, his wife went to the UK to study for a master's degree, while Xiao Di lived in the UK for a long time through the way of family accompaniment.
I went to England for the first time in February 2017, played for ten days, watched three games, Stamford Bridge at home against Arsenal, then went to Manchester To see Manchester United because there was Jose Mourinho, and also watched the away game against Burnley, away tickets.
3, as a tour guide in the UK, good income
Xiao Di said that at that time, I thought about reading with my girlfriend while I was thinking about it, and I usually didn't read books to pick up the group.
He said: "My job is to be a guide, a tour guide with a car, but when I play with guests, I actually enjoy the process myself, and I also like the UK from the bottom of my heart." ”
The picture above is Xiao Di's car, and the magic is that this is the first time he came to the British tour package car that year, and the big brother of the tour guide sold it to Xiao Di second-hand.
I asked, what was the treatment at that time?
Xiao Di said, in fact, it is not bad, I bought a better 7-seater big ben at that time, specially for personal customization. Usually, I can take about 300 euros (equivalent to 2200 yuan) when I pick up a group, so that I can meet my life needs for a month and in addition to watching the ball.
"Whenever I have a game, I'm sure I'll go to the ball, and that job is my ideal. Because of freedom, you can choose the number of hours you want to work. I want to pick up, I don't want to pick up, no pressure. ”
4, the impact of the epidemic on the tourism industry
I asked, will the epidemic have a big impact on your business after the epidemic?
Xiao Di said that there is a big impact, from 2020, domestic tourists basically can not come, this year I only received some European Chinese groups, but the number is certainly not an order of magnitude as before.
By 2021, there will be almost no regiments.
"However, it doesn't matter, the epidemic can't last a lifetime, it will definitely end after a few years, so I can take advantage of these two years to rest." I am now following the team to travel, the Chelsea team to which country to play, then I also buy a ticket to see the ball game, by the way with my wife, you can continue to watch the ball, by the way, travel by the way. ”
5, or will return to China
Xiao Di loves football so much that he rented a house near the stadium and walked 5 minutes to the stadium.
I asked Xiao Di: "Do you think that your half-sojourn and half-watching lifestyle, after three or four years, has the freshness been diluted?" ”
Xiao Di said that there is, but it has become a way of life, a habit.
I told Xiao Di that in fact, the immigration policy of the United Kingdom is relatively strict compared to other English-speaking countries (Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand), and I have rarely heard of Chinese who stay in the United Kingdom after studying in the United Kingdom, but there are also a small proportion.
According to statistics, less than 5% of Chinese studying in the UK stay in the UK. Do you plan to stay in the UK or what, and what are your long-term plans?
Xiao Di said, my 86 years, my wife 92 years old, both of our parents are still young, but when they are older we may have to return to China, I took my parents to live in the UK for a period of time, not used to it.
"So at present, it is still this state of life, the epidemic has been relaxed in recent years, after the epidemic, it will continue to do tourism, and after a longer period of time, consider returning to China."
Xiao Di should have lived the life he liked.
