America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 306 The Vision of the Smith League

  There is a time difference of nearly eight hours between France and Hanoi.

  So it's around ten o'clock in the morning in Paris.

  Hanguo's side, it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

   In this way, after understanding the situation.

  When Li Yuxin called Han Guo back.

  It's about the same over there, just around dinnertime.

  The actual situation is when Li Fuzhen answers the phone.

  Her father, mother, and elder brother were all by her side to eat dinner with her.

  The members of the Li family came here on purpose, even Li Zaixi acquiesced in Li Yuxin's going to France.

  Under Li Zaixi's strong request.

   After Li Fuzhen hesitated for a while, she turned on the speakerphone on her mobile phone.

   In this way, in the restaurant of a small villa in Gangnam District, Seoul, Hanguk.

  The family of Han Guo's economic leader heard a call from the youngest daughter of the Li family from Europe.

  “…The model is the same as that of most family offices. I have read the contracts, and the lawyer Ernie asked me to bring has also read these contracts and thinks that the contracts are very common and are normal family office contracts.”

  Li Yuxin said on the phone:

"The main thing worth mentioning is the treatment of members of this family office. O'Neill, our father, after we became adults, only gave us one hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses! But according to this standard, it is three years for a minor Millions of dollars, five million dollars a year as an adult!"

   Li Yuxin's previous words made Li Zaixi, who was listening next to her, turn black.

   Is one hundred thousand dollars little?

  One hundred thousand dollars a month, 99.9999999% of Han people don’t have this income!

  But Li Zaixi heard that minors get three million dollars a year, and adults get five million dollars a year.

  Even Li Zaixi was a little speechless when he heard it. With such a high living cost, is this raising a gold baby?

   Li Fuzhen’s voice sounded, she was replying to Li Yuxin,

   "What about other terms? Only living expenses?"

   "Oh, oh, there are many other terms. I only remember a few, but they all look powerful anyway."

   "Like Security, the Smith family has its own security company called Rock Security. Anyone who is a member of the family can be protected by this company."

   "There are also residences. The Smith family office will buy properties in the top 100 cities in the world. As long as you are a member of the Smith family, you can live in these properties, whether you are staying or traveling."

  “There are many other clauses, some of which look too professional. I can’t even understand them. But our lawyer said that this clause may not even be as rich as Rockefeller.”

   "Sister, although that person is a bastard. But I have to say, in terms of material things, he is more than a hundred times stronger than our father!"

  Li Yuxin didn't know that her father, mother and elder brother were all listening beside her sister.

  She thought it was just a real conversation between herself and her sister Li Fu.

  Thus, Miss Car Lamp, who was spoiled since she was a child, speaks more recklessly.

  Lie Fu looked at his father's dark face beside him with a funny face.

   "Okay. Then let me ask you, Yu Xin, do you think I should sign, or not?"

   Li Yuxin fell silent.

   She seemed to be confirming something with the person next to her, and she was talking in a low voice, speaking Korean.

   It should be to discuss the contract with the lawyer sent by the Li family.

   After about ten seconds, Li Yuxin's voice sounded again.

   "Ernie. I asked a lawyer."

  Li Yuxin said softly:

"The lawyer said that although you and your children will enjoy many benefits after signing the contract. But in this regard, you and your children are equivalent to being tied to that bastard. You will no longer have freedom, nor will you There will be love again."

   "Is that all?" Li Fu really responded like this.

   Li Yuxin was silent again, this time the silence was very short.

   "Yes, only these." Li Yuxin said.

   "Then bring the contract back." Li Fuzhen said softly: "Please, Yuxin."

   Li Yuxin was silent again, and another few seconds passed.

   "Okay." Li Yuxin said.

   "That's it for now. I'm sorry, Yuxin. Father and the others are here, let's talk here first."

"OK."

  The call was hung up on Li Yuxin's side.

   Li Fuzhen looked up at the relatives around her.

  The eldest daughter of the Li family showed a charming and mature smile on her face:

   "I have already satisfied you, my dear father, mother, and brother."

   "After listening to it now. What do you think?"

"It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!" Li Zaixi said in a deep voice, "That American. Did he think he was an ancient emperor? The seventy-two concubines of the Sangong and Six Courtyards? It's the 21st century now, and he is Americans, not emperors!"

   Li Fuzhen's mother also thought it was ridiculous.

  The key is that the people who do this kind of thing are people from the East Asian cultural circle.

   This is how it was in ancient times.

  But the person who did this was a pure American.

  The Li family felt weird.

  But Li Fu is really satisfied.

  The eldest lady touched her belly, even though it hadn't bulged yet.

   But she thinks she already loves it very much.

  Because of its existence, it brought earth-shaking changes to her.

  Brought her great status and influence in the country of Han.

  She only hated herself for not meeting Abel earlier, wasting several years of time!

   Fortunately, being someone else's wife seems to have added to her charm.

  That stinky guy always likes to be in that kind of thing.

   let yourself do that

  Thinking wildly in her heart, Li Fuzhen stood up and said:

   "I have fulfilled your wishes. Now I am going to work. I have to go to the company. I won't accompany you, mother, father, and brother."

  After speaking, Li Fuzhen didn't wait for her mother to persuade her to stay.

  She just nodded to the family and walked out, disappearing into the twilight.

  Mother Li, who is also from a rich family, couldn't help looking at her husband and son.

   But the two men from the Li family did not speak or stop them.

  Mother Li could only let Li Fuzhen go out.

  After Li Fuzhen left, Li Zaixi suddenly said:

   "Don't worry about her anymore. Ma'am, your eldest daughter is stronger than anyone else. Now she has received more powerful help than the Li family."

  "As long as the Americans are willing to have her and her children, she will have a better life than us."

  Mother Li was silent.

  She felt that this family seemed to be slowly undergoing some kind of change.

   I don't know whether it is good or bad.

  Looking back to Paris.

  In the end, they all signed the contract, or took the contract back to sign for themselves.

   As a result, Anne and the others, after signing the contract, wanted to find Abel.

  Abel has already arrived in a small conference hall in Godelma.

   Here, he met representatives of two German giants who made a special trip from Berlin to London, and from London to Paris.

  respectively, John Wieland, the representative of BMW.

   There is also the representative of Volkswagen, Bered.

  The two Germans were very direct, and John Wieland spoke as soon as he came up:

   "Mr. Smith. We hope you can get the Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Company to drop the lawsuit."

  Bared nodded beside him.

  Abel was surprised, "What do you mean? Sorry, I don't understand your English a bit. Maybe I need to let the translator come in?"

  John Wieland's English just now was not standard.

  The German simply looked at his companion, and Bered's English was more standard.

  Bared smiled and said:

   "Mr. Smith. Just now John said, Volkswagen and BMW, I hope you can let Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Company withdraw the lawsuit."

   "Oh." Abel nodded, "I understand the English this time. But what does the prosecution of the Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce have to do with me?"

  Abel spread his hands towards the two Germans, "I don't even have a stock in these two companies. What right do I have to make them withdraw their lawsuits?"

  Abel's various reactions were obviously expected by the Germans.

  His "shirk", the two Germans didn't look angry.

  Baired smiled and said patiently:

   "That's what I said wrong just now. What I mean is that we hope that Mr. Smith, you can help us and tactfully tell London to withdraw the lawsuit. In this process, you only need to be a middleman."

  Before Abel refused, Bered hurriedly offered the conditions.

   "Of course. As a middleman, we will pay you. Mr. Smith, we heard that you have invested in a football team in Manchester. So are you interested in owning a German football team?"

  Abel was startled when he heard the benefit from Bered.

  He doesn't know what kind of brain circuit the Germans are.

   "It's true that I bought Manchester United. But I have a football team now. Then why would I go to Germany to buy a football team?" Abel said with a smile.

   "I've seen the New York Times report on you, Mr. Smith." Baired said:

   "The newspaper said, Mr. Smith, when you buy companies in the same industry, you always like to buy two at a time. Then why can't you buy two at the same time when you buy a football team?"

  “Germany and the Premier League don’t conflict, as long as you want, you can have both the British football team and the German football team. For example. How about the Hoffenheim Football Club in Germany?”

   Fark!

  Abel suddenly felt that what the German said seemed to make sense.

  Football is not the NBA, and even F1 can have two teams at the same time.

  The broken regulations of those commercial leagues in the United States do not allow one person to own two teams.

   But in Europe, it seems that there is no saying that you cannot have a Premier League football team and a Bundesliga football team at the same time.

  Abel took a deep breath, and he looked at Baired.

   "Okay. Even so, why should I buy Hoffenheim? And this is obviously not a reward, it is to let me invest in your Germany?"

   "What if it's half-price Hoffenheim Football Club?" Bai Ruide smiled.

   Half price for a Bundesliga team.

  Abel thought quickly.

  He doesn't know the specific value of a Bundesliga team.

  But he also knows that it should be far inferior to the Premier League.

   Manchester United is the top team in the Premier League, worth about 400 million pounds.

   Hoffenheim Football Club is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds at most.

  If it is half cheaper, can it be 50 million pounds cheaper?

  These Germans are so generous? Abel didn't quite believe it.

  Actually, Abel miscalculated, because the most valuable team in the Bundesliga is only half the value of Manchester United at most.

  At this time, Hoffenheim Football Club can't even play in the Bundesliga, it's just a Bundesliga team.

  What Bered said just now was all about German teams, not Bundesliga teams.

   It was Abel himself, who was a fake fan, who miscalculated the value of Hoffenheim.

   Now in 2001, because of the position of the team, the commercial value of Hoffenheim Football Club is even at the bottom.

  In summary, the value of Hoffenheim Football Club is not at all the 100 million pounds that Abel imagined.

   Now in 2001, Hoffenheim was worth around ten or twenty million pounds at most.

  If you buy it at half price, it means a few million to tens of millions of pounds.

   Save a few million pounds at most, not the tens of millions of pounds that Abel thought

   This is mainly because Abel was hit with bad information.

  Plus Abel is really not good at other aspects besides the financial field.

   But at this time, compared to tens of millions of pounds.

  Abel would prefer Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

  So he did not hesitate to reject the Germans who were poor in information.

   "Sorry. I'm not familiar with the Vickers Group or the Rolls-Royce Motor Company."

  Abel responded with a smile: "So maybe you have to make a trip for nothing."

  His answer finally changed the expressions on the faces of the two Germans.

  John Wieland couldn't help speaking in substandard English:

   "Mr. Smith, please think carefully. Now Volkswagen and BMW are talking to you, and our contract is fully compliant. It is impossible for you, Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce to succeed."

  The German's tone made Abel a little upset.

  Abel also turned cold.

   "Two gentlemen from Berlin. I would like to ask, how many US military bases are there in Germany?"

  John Wieland and Baired were startled when they heard this question that had nothing to do with Rolls-Royce.

  Abel didn't need them to answer, he continued:

   "Let me tell you. There are a total of seventeen, seventeen bases, and two bases shared by the two countries. The exact number is a total of nineteen bases."

   "So." He looked at the two Germans with cold eyes,

   "I think you'd better not threaten an American casually. Even unintentionally. You two gentlemen from Berlin, do you understand what I mean?"

  Abel's words made Bai Ruide couldn't help taking a breath.

  Berred stopped John Wieland, who wanted to say something, and apologized:

   "Sorry to bother you. Mr. Smith. John was unintentional, sorry. We're leaving now, sorry."

Looking at the sensible Bai Ruide, Abel smiled again, "That's right. I'm not someone from Rolls-Royce, BMW is the shareholder of Rolls-Royce. So you should go to BMW , oh, yourselves are BMWs, go find yourselves.”

   "You're right. Mr. Smith, we're leaving now, we're leaving now." Bai Ruide said with a smile.

   After speaking, he directly pulled John Wieland away, and the latter looked very bad.

   After walking out of Godelma and getting into the car.

  John Wieland, who had been keeping a dark face, finally couldn't help but exploded:

   "Bayred, Baired! Did you hear that? That Yankee is threatening me, he's threatening me!"

   "I heard it." Bered said helplessly:

   "But what he said is also true. John, there are indeed a large number of US military bases in our country."

  John Wieland was silent.

  Berred didn't speak either.

   Although it looks much better than the two dogs Neon and Han Guo.

  But as the defeated country and initiator of World War II, the chains on Germany have never been removed, and they are actually thicker than anyone else.

   It's just that they benefit from the special geographical location in central Europe, and they have that white skin.

  That's why Germany doesn't have to be a dog completely.

  But it's just not completely being a dog.

   If the Americans are serious, covering 17+2 U.S. military bases across the country is a sword hanging over the heads of the Germans.

  Because in Germany, Americans are relatively restrained.

  So ordinary Germans are not as sensitive to the US military as ordinary Neon people and Han people.

  But the upper elites of this country are more aware of the power of the Americans.

"Hey"

  After the silence, Baired sighed, "John, don't forget, it's shown in the intelligence. This Yankee is the future son-in-law of the shrub."

  John Wieland knew what Baird meant.

  Baileid is telling himself that when facing this American, he cannot be as direct as when facing other Europeans.

   When facing the Americans, the Germans did not have the economic strength and advantages they had when facing other Europeans.

   "I see." John Wieland said stiffly, "Shameless American!"

  Bared smiled wryly.

   Godelmari.

   Abel, who once again pretended to be a tiger, gradually understood the coolness of being a five-star emperor.

  Facing the Germans can be so cool..

  He couldn't even imagine how happy he would be after going to Nihong or Hanguo.

  How cool was General Meserak back then

   The negotiation with the Germans was just an episode for him.

   It was these two Germans who reminded him of one thing.

   This matter made him feel less bored in Europe in the next period of time.

   That's what the German reminded him, that he could buy several teams in Europe.

  After leaving the conference hall, he enthusiastically asked the Smith Intelligence Group to investigate.

   Check the European football world to see if there are any restrictions on this kind of thing.

  After the inquiry, the Smith Intelligence Group told Abel.

   At least there is no such regulation on the surface.

   It is in the specific operation that UEFA may stand up and oppose it.

  Hearing that it was only possible, Abel wanted to try it.

  Since he was in Paris, Abel approached Vivendi Universal Group immediately.

  Because of the Vivendi Universal Group, there is a Ligue 1 team.

  To be precise, it is Canal+ TV station under the Vivendi Universal Group, which owns a Ligue 1 football team.

  The name of this French football team is Paris Saint-Germain.

  Abel approached the CEO directly, Jean-Marie Messier.
