The auction came to an end, and the absolute focus of the most attention was undoubtedly Lan Li, who stole all the guests' grace, followed by the mysterious guest No. 43.

Although he did not show up, the 1.5 million pounds of work is still eye-catching, and when the guitar and music scores were auctioned at the end, the No. 43 guest also offered 950,000 pounds, if it weren't for Dave's gritted teeth at the last moment, then the No. 43 guest might have to be directly rounded- Of course, he also has such ability, but because of the charity auction, there is no need to steal all the limelight, so he did not continue to increase the price, otherwise he will continue to offer the guitar and music scores, with the financial resources he has shown, there is naturally no problem.

Just the clues are enough to make people full of countless speculations about the 43rd guest, especially the mystery hidden behind the scenes.

More or less, people are curious about the true identity of the forty-third guest. Although the aristocracy always looks down on the emerging rich and always thinks that they are nouveau riche, there is a "degree" to everything-

If the net worth has reached a sufficient height to surpass the cognitive level of ordinary people in one fell swoop, such as Bill Gates, such as Steve Jobs, the wealth of the rich country is enough for them to have enough status, then at this time, whether they have a long historical heritage is no longer important, but to win a place in the upper class society in another way.

Vanity Fair, fame and fortune, the two are indispensable, if there is only one of the two, either rely on a single strength to be in a high position, or just strive for the top of the masses of beings - compared to ordinary people, it is just a little farther away.

Now, the 43rd guest has shown the tip of the iceberg, which naturally makes people wonder, is it a rising star like Dave, who spends a lot of money to slap a swollen face and become a fat man, or is it a new billionaire with a real deep background, who can stand firm with wealth?

If it was Roman-Abramovich, then everything would have made sense.

Russia's top and the world's fifteenth richest man, who started out on oil and non-ferrous metals, is now expanding his business in real estate, aviation and other directions to build a business empire of his own, and an important move from Siberia to the world was the purchase of Chelsea, a financially struggling Premier League team, in 2003, when he was only 37 years old.

After buying Chelsea, Roman began to spend pounds, investing more than 400 million pounds in just four years, completely dominating the Premier League transfer market, allowing Chelsea to grow from a quasi-powerhouse to a top giant, and truly breaking the fixed situation of Manchester United and Arsenal dominating the Premier League.

Of course, Roman is Russian and an outsider, Roman is very young, in his early thirties he has already built a huge business empire with his own hands, and Roman is very cunning, and he is involved in many gray area disputes in his homeland, and his trip to England is also considered a move to transfer assets...... The most important thing is that Roman lost his mother at the age of one and his father at the age of three, grew up in the slums as an orphan and under the protection of his uncle, and everything made him stand on the opposite side of the "old aristocracy" and become the representative of the "new rich", that is, the nouveau riche.

This also kept Roman out of the real high society for the first few years after arriving in England, but over time, he eventually relied on Chelsea as a platform to successfully open up the situation - in England, no one can say no to football.

Now, the upper class, including parliamentarians, presidents, prime ministers, aristocrats, etc., have opened their doors to Roman, although there are still countless people who dislike him, and the confrontation between the "new rich man vs the old aristocracy" will never be heard, but it is undeniable that he has successfully gained a foothold.

It is rumored that Roman and Prince Charles also have a close personal relationship.

After all, times have changed inexorably.

The legend of Roman cannot be fully explained in a few words, and it is even more legendary than Lan Li, but the fact that Roman appeared at Club Garrick is worth discussing in itself.

If Roman is the mysterious guest number forty-three, then everything can be satisfactorily explained, and one and a half million pounds is just a drop in the bucket for Roman.

But if Roman wasn't the forty-third guest, things got interesting - who was the real forty-three? Why did Roman show up at the reception? Did Roman send someone to the auction? Why didn't there be any movement at all? Did he come for Alexander? Or did he have some other purpose?

And so on and so forth.

When Roman appeared, the focus of the audience underwent a subtle change, in addition to Lan Li, Roman became the absolute focus, and even faintly surpassed Lan Li, so that the eyes of all the guests were quietly projected in the past, and they guessed what was going on now.

But Roman was much more low-key than he had imagined, standing at the edge of the ballroom near the corner, holding his whiskey and bowing politely to the guests next to him, rather than rushing around like a butterfly to attract all eyes, a slight departure from the rumored image.

It is rumored that Roman's hands are not only stained with the smell of copper, but also stained with blood, iron and insidious methods are never merciful, leaving aside his career path, just from the Chelsea team's internal player trading and coach changes, you can feel the coldness in the bones, up and down, inside and out, full of ruthlessness and ruthlessness, everything is based on interests, everything else stands aside.

What is certain is that when Lan Li and Matthew said goodbye to the Beckhams and turned to walk towards Roman, all the guests couldn't help but get excited - because they were so excited that the chatter disappeared, leaving only a buzzing sound, and they couldn't help but stare with bated breath at the collision of the two mountain ranges, on one side is the representative of the emerging aristocracy, and on the other hand is the benchmark of the young rich.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Abramovich. Lan Li took the initiative to say hello, he was not at all nervous as he imagined - what could be more shocking than being a human being in two lives? After experiencing the most incredible things, other things became lighter, in addition, the face-to-face experience of Barry Meyer, Bob Aigner, Harvey Weinstein and other top bigwigs in the industry also made Lan Li understand that bigwigs also have their own style, they are also ordinary people, as for Roman, he is just a little more wealthy.

Roman has a round baby face, always with a bright smile on his face, clear eyes flashing with a simple light, even if he has a beard, he still can't hide the childishness on his facial features and face, and the contradiction between the first impression and the anecdotal impression is often easy to bring more confusion, which also makes the meeting interesting.

Roman stretched out his right hand, "Good afternoon, Your Excellency Lan Li. His palms were wide and warm, and he didn't have to exert force, but he showed great tolerance, and the baby-like smile bloomed, revealing his neat teeth, "Ha, your palms are not ice, I found out." ”

Lan Li was slightly stunned, and only after half a beat did he react, Roman was saying that the joke spread by the crew of "Gravity": Lan Li is actually a vampire.

After reacting, Lan Li also chuckled sincerely, "My feelings are also the same, your palm is warm, it seems that we can't believe the rumors at will." ”

There are countless rumors about Roman, but what is certain is that most people believe that Roman is a ruthless, hard-hearted cold-blooded animal, regardless of the time of his family history or his Russian background, all of which are shrouded in mystery and curiosity.

Roman frowned and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to disappoint you." ”

This made Lan Li smile even brighter, "I'm sorry, I disappointed everyone, especially those fanatics who believe in the mysterious archives, so, I guess, we all keep a little secret, so that those rumors can continue to circulate, what do you think?"

"I don't have a problem. Roman smiled shallowly, his manicured beard seemed to hide a shallow dimple, revealing a hint of shyness, and it was hard to believe that this was the cold-blooded and ruthless Chelsea owner who held the power of life and death for countless people.

Lan Li and Roman let go of each other's palms, and then Lan Li took the initiative to introduce, "This is my friend, Matthew, he is a lawyer. Please forgive my faux pas, I had to invite my friend to be the Black Knight and accompany me to visit you. ”

This subtext is really ...... Is it implying that Roman kills without blinking?

But Roman didn't mind at all, but raised his eyebrows, "You know, the only thing I don't want to offend in this world, the only one who is willing to believe unconditionally, is the lawyer, I think, I can understand your thoughts, does this prove that we are on the same side?"

This answer is also meaningful.

Although Roman's English still has a slight accent, he has fully understood the essence of British black humor, and he is full of spring breeze when he talks. It's very, very interesting, and you can see that Roman has made countless efforts to establish himself in British high society.

This also proves one thing again: there are too few credible contents in rumors, and even many times, "hearing is false and seeing is believing" is also full of lies, and only after you really experience it with your heart and experience it yourself can you make a judgment, which is another side effect behind the ocean of information in the Internet era.

Lan Li felt that Roman should be an interesting person to talk to.
