America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 288 Standing like a minion

   Today's British Isles can already be regarded as an overseas economic colony of the old United States.

  This is the reason why the British Isles can still maintain a certain influence and remain an international financial metropolis.

  Lloyds Bank itself has a large number of shareholders from Wall Street.

  But among these Wall Street shareholders, there is neither Smith Capital.

   There are no shrub families, let alone military-industrial complexes.

  Craven is worried about whether Abel is the representative of the interests of the North American military-industrial complex in Thirteen Continents.

  If only Abel wants to take a stake in Lloyds Bank.

   Even if Lloyds Bank does not refuse.

   It can also be just a little bit of meaning, and it is enough to divide the shares of about 0.1% or 0.2%.

   Just in case if Abel is a bush, or they are behind military-industrial complex interests.

   Then you can't deal with it casually.

   Something will happen.

  Because I know too much about the situation in the British Isles and the Financial City today.

   Under Abel's simple request, Kraven fell into infinite troubles.

   After thinking about it carefully, Kraven dared not explicitly refuse, nor did he dare to directly agree.

  The CEO of Lloyds responded softly:

   "Thank you very much, Mr. Smith, for your optimism. Lloyds Bank is deeply honored. As for your request for a shareholding, Lloyds Bank will consider it carefully and give you a reply within one week. No, three days later."

  Abel nodded with a smile.

  Actually, Abel didn’t have as much as Kraven thought.

  Kraven has to worry about the identity behind Abel and the American interest groups he may represent.

   This is purely Craven's self-imagining.

  Abel's purpose is simple.

  Lloyds Bank is one of the largest financial groups in the UK and one of the most influential financial groups in Europe.

  He felt that if he wanted to play finance in Europe, he would cut leeks as soon as possible.

  If I am here, I cannot live without a foothold.

  Like Lloyds Bank and HSBC, Abel feels that he has a good foothold here.

   It will be safer if you can buy a part of the shares and become their shareholders.

  It's just the situation in Europe, which is much more complicated than that in the United States.

  Especially in the United Kingdom, when faced with the interest demands from the old Americans, they often speak very hard, but they are always the one who kneels the fastest.

   Mainly when facing the United States, Britain really kneels without any psychological burden

  The conversation with Kraven was also ended because of the heavy worries of the CEO of Lloyds Bank and his serious self-brainstorming.

  This time I came to England.

  Abel’s advisory group has been researching for a long time, and it’s not that Abel came over immediately after he slapped his head.

  The advisory group has studied for half a year, and actually thinks that Britain at this time has nothing but finance and media.

  This country, or even most of Europe, no longer has much investment value for Abel.

  The national strength of the British Isles has long since declined, and it is the capital and enterprises here that have declined along with the country.

   What's more, as early as Thatcher's period, the interests of this country had already been divided up.

  If Abel wants to enter. What he entered was not a blue ocean, but a red ocean that already had an owner.

  The masters in this Red Sea, more importantly, are not actually British.

  The companies that Timmy Owen just introduced to Abramovich, Aymo Alamuddin and others are all giants in various fields in the UK.

   Behind each of them, there is a strong shadow of oilmen or Wall Street capital.

  Simply put, these British monopoly giants more or less have some American capital in them.

  British capital, to put it bluntly, is an incarnation of American capital.

  To be precise, it should be the capital of the United States and Britain.

  This situation is actually very similar to Han Guo and Neon, both of which are just Wall Street’s overseas economic colonies.

  In other words, when Abel entered the UK market, he actually entered an overseas market in the United States.

   Except for the new energy track that he himself is preparing to manufacture.

   No matter which field he enters in the UK, he is actually competing with the original leader of the track in the United States.

   At most, it’s just a different place of competition, and the rest is not much different.

  The reason why media and finance are specifically singled out.

  Because the advisory group also felt that the boss was basically invincible in finance and could play however he wanted.

  As for the media, it was requested by Abel.

  Britain is not the United States, and this side cannot provide votes for Abel.

  Then he is here, and there is no need to benefit ordinary people.

   It is enough to use finance to cut leeks to make money, and use the media to control the mouthpiece of public opinion.

  As for other industries, as long as they can grow bigger in the United States.

  It will not be too difficult to expand the overseas economic colonies in the United States.

  Referring to Abel’s idea, his advisory group formulated a British or European plan for him.

  Basically, the main focus is on finance and media.

   Other aspects, either Abel's hobbies or fun.

  For example, investing in football and F1, these are Abel’s hobbies and whims.

  Either it is some areas of auxiliary finance and media.

  Other aspects, if Abel is not interested, the advisory group will not make a detailed plan for him.

   Now follow the plan designed by the advisory team for Abel.

  Abel's next step is to continue to acquire a large number of newspapers and TV stations in the UK and Europe.

   Then buy shares here, and even acquire those banks and financial groups in Europe.

  Achieving financial influence and controlling public opinion.

  Another thing worth mentioning is that 1450 Information Consulting Company came with Abel

  This company has been here for a week, and it has already applied for the establishment of 9 NGO organizations in Europe.

  These organizations cover areas such as environmental protection, culture, youth exchanges, and the Internet.

  What Soros will do in the future, or even do now.

  Abel is more forward-looking, he wants to cultivate his own European customer service pony!

   And I want 1450 Network Information Company to be able to do more smoothly here.

  The channel that can speak out, that is, the media field, is very important.

  Finance is the bone, the media is the flesh and blood, and Yuanshen is the United States that can intimidate Europe, plus 1450 as an off-market means.

   This is the heart of Abel's UK, or European project!

  The reception tonight is mainly for this purpose.

   In the staggered cup and plate, David Delaney Walker is back.

   This means that all the guests invited to the reception tonight have come.

  David Delaney Walker, as the master of ceremonies and half-host, announced the official start of the reception with a smile.

  With this Walker's David, Abel's David and Abel, even little Laura, can breathe a little easier.

  As the host of tonight's reception, David Walker didn't come in.

   At the reception, Abel had only one David Jones who was like a butler to help.

  Most of the guests came to find Abel and little Laura, both of whom were very busy.

  Little Laura is okay, her family education has education in this area.

  This is a must-have course for the mistress of a large European and American family.

   She can quickly get into a role even if she isn't very familiar, and she did a good job tonight.

  The Smith family is relatively red-necked, and Abel was also trained in the direction of a farmer before

  Plus his personality doesn't like this kind of excitement.

  Although it's okay to deal with it, I don't like it from the bottom of my heart.

   It's just that in order to increase contacts and expand influence, this kind of reception has to be held again.

  He had no choice but to regard this as a job, a job he had to deal with.

   Now David DeLarry Walker comes in.

  He can finally breathe a sigh of relief and let the two Davids deal with the male guests.

  Let Mrs. David Walker and little Laura deal with the female companions of the male guests.

  Abel himself took the opportunity of urinating to escape.

  He ran to a small lounge on the second floor, sat on the sofa next to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked down at the reception scene below.

  Even in their own manor, the Four King Kong still have enough manpower to lurk beside Abel anytime and anywhere.

   Like now, Edward came to Abel and whispered to him:

   "BOSS, someone is here. It's a guest of the reception."

   Someone will come, Abel is not surprised at all.

  He knows that he is the core of tonight's reception, and the audience does not know how many caring people are staring at him.

  I want to avoid this kind of nagging completely, unless I really hide, or the drinking party is over.

   Otherwise, you will only have a moment of free time.

  It’s probably like going to work, migrant workers can touch fish by urinating.

  But after the urine escape is over, it is still unavoidable to continue working. You can only wait until the end of get off work or directly absent from work to ask for leave, so that you really don't have to go to work.

   "Who is it?" Abel asked.

  Edward scratched his head, there were too many guests tonight, and the captain of the bodyguard only remembered the important ones.

  The person who came was a small character that Edward didn't remember. How could the bodyguard captain know who it was.

   "The name is Roman Abramovich."

   Johnson next to Edward suddenly whispered:

   "It seems to be a businessman from Mao Xiongguo, who had a long chat with the lawyer you hired today, BOSS."

   "Oh?" Abel was surprised, "Johnson, how do you know?"

  Johnson has no expression on his face. This Black King Kong has facial paralysis, which is in stark contrast to Abel's other Black King Kong who is talkative.

   "BOSS, you know. I'm a sniper, and I'm used to observing people from a distance. I'm very sensitive to other people's sights and gazes."

  One of the Black King Kong, Johnson, said, "This guy from Maoxiong Kingdom, he has been staring at you. I found someone and asked him about his identity."

   "It's a good habit." Abel praised him with a smile, "Keep up the good work! Let this guy from the Bear Kingdom come in. I've heard of this guy."

  Roman Abramovich, Abel is too familiar.

  It is not the American Abel Shu, but the time traveler Abel Shu.

   Hearing that Roman Abramovich came to find him, Abel also wanted to meet this legendary oligarch of the Maoxiong Kingdom.

  Edward got Abel's approval and went to put Abramovich in.

   This allowed Abel to meet Abu who is still young this year.

   "Good evening, Mr. Smith." Abramovich's English at this time was still a little tongue-twisting, a bit like Mao's English.

   Later, he entered Europe for hair removal. He may have studied hard as a coolie, and his English became more and more authentic later on.

   So much so that when I spoke English in the media, I could no longer hear the Mao accent.

  It all has a Cambridge flavor.

   In order to get hair removal and enter Europe, it can be said that Abramovich really worked hard.

   Unfortunately, from beginning to end, even he is a big capitalist.

  But the mainstream society in the European and American world has never regarded him as one of their own.

  Not only Abramovich is like this, but also other oligarchs and wealthy businessmen in Maoxiong Kingdom.

  One of the two co-founders of Google, Sergey Brin is already considered the best businessman from a bear origin in the European and American world.

   But this Sergey Brin, he came from an Oil family.

  From this point of view, the mainstream society in the European and American world has never regarded Mao Zi as one of their own from the beginning to the end.

  The wishful thinking of licking the dog will always only get the cold eyes of the goddess.

   "Good evening, Mr. Abramovich." Abel looked at Abu with interest, and he came in alone.

   "What can I do for you, sir? It's so lively down here, why don't you go to it? This reception can help you meet more friends, and it will be helpful for a businessman like you in London."

   Facing Abel's kind words and expressions, Abramovich was surprised.

   You need to know the top rich people in Europe or the United States.

  When facing Mao Xiongguo's kind, he always feels a bit superior.

   In the past two years, Abramovich, who has spent most of his time in Europe, has a deep understanding of this.

  However, at this moment, Abramovich did not perceive the superior attitude of other European and American rich and powerful in Abel.

   This made Abramovich feel a little flattered.

   "Oh, Mr. Smith." Abramovich said with a smile:

   "Of course I will go down. Your reception is too lively, and I like it very much. But I have two things for you, and I want to consult you."

  Because of the dominance of the Chinese soul, plus the reason that I prefer football and Chelsea.

  Abel doesn’t have a good impression of Abu, but he doesn’t have the habit of looking down on Maozi like Europeans and Americans of his class.

  Abel smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

   "That's right." Abramovich didn't expect Abel to be so "approachable".

  The oligarch who has a high status in Maozi but is looked down upon in Europe hastily said:

   "I think F1 will be a good business in the future. I want to invest in an F1 team. I heard that Mr. Smith has two teams."

   "I want to buy one of the fleets from you. Well, I plan to use 200 million dollars to buy your Tesla fleet. I don't know what you want?"

  Abel looked at Abu with interest.

  Abel felt that Abramovich at this moment was very much like his friend in the desert area.

  The desert stock **** Prince Walid.

  Prince Waleed sold the shares of Abel News Corporation and Abel’s yacht.

   Also like Abramovich now.

  It is said to be selling or buying, but it is actually giving money.

   In order to avoid being cut off, rich people in many countries meet top people in Europe and America, mainly in the United States.

  The approach is similar to these two.

   "The Tesla fleet is not worth 200 million U.S. dollars." Abel smiled lightly. Seeing that Abramovich wanted to speak, he stopped him:

   "Mr. Abramovich, I know what you want to do. You want to invest in F1, and I am in favor of it. But the Tesla team is not worth the price."

   "10 million US dollars. Plus the debt of the Tesla team, there is one more condition. As long as you agree, then I can sell the Tesla team to you."

  Same as Waleed, Abel doesn't like this little advantage.

   Abramovich did not expect today to be so smooth.

   I was also surprised that Abel didn't take advantage of this.

   Maozi's oligarch quickly said: "What conditions? As long as I can, I will definitely agree. I really want an F1 team. Like you, Mr. Smith, I like football and racing cars."

   "I don't like football and racing cars." Abel said deliberately immediately.

   "Uh" Abramovich was a little embarrassed for a while.

  Abel laughed, "Just kidding. I still like football. I don't like racing cars that much. Buying F1 is an investment, and buying a team is to please my girlfriend."

   Abramovich knew that Abel's girlfriend was Little Laura.

  He also knew the identity of Little Laura.

  If you can use the F1 car to get involved with the bush family

   This made Abramovich more determined to invest in F1.

   "Please state the conditions. Mr. Smith, I want to buy a Tesla fleet." Abramovich said firmly.

   "The condition is that the Tesla team cannot change its name. If you don't want it in the future, the team will also be sold back to me at the price I sold it to you."

  Abel said: "This is the condition, if you still want to. Send someone to find my people to sign the contract tomorrow."

   Pull Abramovich, who has strong financial resources and does not treat money as money, into F1.

  Abel felt that this would be good for invigorating F1, stimulating other teams, and attracting audiences and ratings.

  Abel himself bought the F1 team at the beginning, mainly to give little Laura as a gift.

   Later, I bought two as soon as I bought it, mainly due to the temper of the local tyrants, and these two teams were also very cheap at the time.

  It’s no longer half sale and half free, it’s close to full free if you don’t look at the debt.

   Now the purpose of gift giving has been achieved.

  Little Laura cannot manage two teams by herself.

  Sell one of them to Abramovich, and at the same time continue to name Tesla.

  Abel felt that the deal was a good deal.

   In addition, in this way, Abel thinks that he can also lighten his color in F1.

  Otherwise, as the real behind-the-scenes boss of F1, I have established two teams, and it is not good to say it.

   Even if Abramovich doesn't come to the door.

   After winning F1.

  Abe don't think about selling the two teams in name.

   For example, sell one of them to Ikana or her father.

  The subsequent maintenance of the team is paid by Abel himself, and the benefits are paid by Abel himself.

  But the name makes Ted Lerner the boss, I believe Ikana or her father will be very happy.

  You don’t have to do anything, you can be the boss of an F1 team with just a name.

  This kind of good thing, with the character of Ikana's father, will definitely jump three feet high.

   Now that Abramovich has delivered it to his door, Abel simply sold the Tesla team to him.

   Later sell the MGM team to Laura Jr., or someone else.

  For example, the Li family sisters, the operation mode is the same as above.

   Just let little Laura live the addiction of a team manager.

  Little Laura probably doesn’t care whether the team is hers or not. What she wants is the sense of accomplishment of participating and running it.

  Abu Miaosu agreed to Abel's conditions.

   After all, Abramovich wants to play F1, and the purpose is not for profit or the team itself.

   "What about the other thing? You just said two things." Abel asked with a smile.

Abramovich smiled and said: "Another thing is that I heard that you bought a Premier League team. I also like football, and I want to buy a Premier League team. I wonder if you can give it to Mr. Smith. I have a suggestion?"

   "Go and buy Chelsea." Abel almost didn't think about it, and smiled directly:

   "I think you deserve to have Chelsea."

   Abramovich thought to himself, does the Chelsea team have anything to do with Smith?

   Otherwise, you don’t even think about it, and just give this suggestion?

  He didn't know that this was Abel's bad taste.

   But on the surface, Abramovich naturally smiled quickly:

   "Understood, very good advice. Thank you very much, Mr. Smith."

   Abramovich has decided that even if there is some blood, he will win Chelsea.

   "Okay." After seeing the real Abu, Abel's feelings disappeared.

  Abel stood up, "I wish you a good time. Mr. Abramovich, I'm going down to entertain the guests."

   Abramovich quickly responded.
