"Sue, why did you say that Mr. Abramovich chose to come to England instead of going to the United States?" After leaving the restaurant, Kate asked Su Zhen in the car.

"Why do you ask that?" Su Zhen asked with a smile.

"Because when I was talking to Mrs. Irina, I could hear that she and Victoria both yearn for Hollywood, but Victoria can't go to the United States because David's career is in Europe, I understand, but Mr. Abramovich is already the world's richest man, why would he rather come to England than to go to the United States, and it seems that those Russian tycoons seem to like to go to England, which is famous?" Kate wondered that if it was a few decades ago, it would have been normal for someone to yearn for Britain, but now times are different, and the United States is the center of the world today.

"Ha Luha, this is going to involve the national conditions of these three countries" Su Zhen smiled and said, he knows a little about the doorway "Most of the sources of assets of these rich people in Russia are through the collapse of the Soviet Union, when Yeltsin established the Russian Federation, the Yeltsin government was financially tight, and because of the continuous political struggle, it was impossible to concentrate on operating those state-owned industries, so Yeltsin and these rich people reached a privatization method called "loan for shares", The political donations of state-owned assets are exchanged for political donations by exchanging state assets for the plutocrats at a price of three layers of real value, thus creating a large number of oligarchs."

"The price of the third floor?" Kate was dumbfounded, what kind of concept is this? That is, for every three yuan paid, you earn seven yuan, which is more than twice the profit, which is almost like grabbing money.

"That's right, and most of these assets are oil and various non-ferrous metals, because of the rapid economic development in recent years, the global demand for these resources has increased significantly, and the price of these assets can be said to have skyrocketed in recent years, so they have earned far more than those seven layers." Su Zhen nodded and continued: "But this money is not so easy to get, although Yeltsin promised to guarantee the personal and property safety of these oligarchs when he made this agreement, but these gains are illegal in law after all. So when the current President Putin came to power in 2000, it was different, the famous seven oligarchs created in the Yeltsin era were taken down by Putin one by one and went to prison, and now there is only one Khodorvsky still active, but according to the recent situation, this poor guy has been controlled by the Russian government, but because of the relationship between Russian conditions, while Putin punished a group of oligarchs, he also created a group of new oligarchs, and Abu is one of the representatives, But the fate of the previous oligarchs has given Abu a warning to them. If it were you, would you continue to stay in Russia? ”

"Of course not, but what does that have to do with these people coming to the UK? If it's political asylum, can't the rest of Europe? How do you think the United States is stronger than the United Kingdom? Although Su Zhen said so much, Kate still didn't figure out what the relationship was.

"There are many reasons for this, first of all, the increasing number of Russian immigrants in Britain has provided a good language, ethnic and social environment for the survival and development of Russian exiles in Britain. At least 300,000 Russians currently live in the UK.

The second is that the British legal system is very protective of the Russian financial oligarchy in exile. Nowhere else in the world did there be as many wealthy Russian businessmen as in England. English property law is the basis for the citation of many domestic legal provisions. Many Russian businessmen made some of their money from unknown sources, and in order to protect this property, they transferred it to England in the hope of legalizing their previously acquired wealth.

The last was the British government's support for the Russian exile. The British government, parliament and media often criticize Russia. Britain regarded the Russian exiles as a trump card to contain Russia's development and interfere in Russia's internal affairs, and spared no effort to support these forces. This will be used as a diplomatic bargaining chip in negotiations and dialogues with Russia, increasing the strategic initiative and room for maneuver. Su Zhen explained to Kate, Kate nodded as if she didn't understand, she was just a little actor. These political things were a little too far away for her.

"In fact, there are quite a few people who go to invest in the United States, but most of them are gathered in New York, and they are not as high-profile as Abu," Su Zhen reached out and stroked Kate's hair and said with a smile.

"I don't know what you men are going on all day, so many twists and turns," Kate wrinkled her lovely nose. This cold-faced goddess on the big screen showed a rare little daughter posture in front of Su Zhen.

Seeing this, Su Zhen kissed Kate's forehead, hugged her in his arms, and looked through the car window. Looking at the street scene of London outside, Tottenham, Arsenal, London will definitely be very lively in the future. And on the other side......

"Honey, what did you talk to that Sue about?" Irina asked as she helped Abu untie her tie and take off her coat.

"Talking about everything, from football to real estate, to oil, arms and international forms, and even talking about Vladimir (Putin), I don't know what this young man seems to be very interested in Vladimir," Abu said with some confusion.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have a lot in common," Irina shrugged her shoulders and said, "But I heard that this young man is very romantic, and it is said that he is dating four or five female stars at the same time, and Kate is just one of them, don't learn from him."

"How come, after so many years, you still don't know about me?" Abu said with a smile and hugged his wife.

Irina smiled, but she didn't feel much more at ease in her heart, as a pillow person who has spent 12 years with Abu, Abu's most powerful assistant, she can no longer understand the kind of new and disgusting character in her husband's bones, as Abu's net worth is getting richer and richer, she is becoming more and more insecure, even if they have five children between them, maybe just in case, she should leave a way back for herself.

Abu didn't know what his wife was thinking, but the beautiful Kate Beckinsale and Victoria he saw today made him a little obsessed, and he couldn't help but look up and down his wife with great interest.

"Don't make a fuss, don't wake up the children," Irina said coquettishly, but Abu gagged as soon as she opened it.

Similarly, Victoria and her husband were discussing this evening's meeting.

"Victoria, do you think we're rich?" Beckham looked at the night scene outside the house and asked Victoria, who was still preparing for tomorrow's christening.

Victoria was stunned, put down what she was doing, walked to Beckham's side and asked strangely, "David, what's wrong?" Why do you ask that? Of course we are rich people. Look, we know how much people envy us in our new home in London. ”

"But do you know the truth? Sue made a bet with the Russian today on the outcome of a warm-up match against Chelsea at the start of next season, do you know what the bet is? Beckham asked his wife with a wry smile.

"What?" Victoria asked, confused.

"Sue's bet is on a Stuart marquis manor in the West End, and the Russian's bet is on a castle in Bavaria, both of which we can't afford to buy now, and in their grave it's just a small lottery, do you think we're still rich?" Beckham asked with a wry smile and shook his head, at that moment. He was once known as the pride of England, but he felt that he was deeply stabbed, and he also understood that any football superstar, any darling of the football world was just a floating cloud, and to put it bluntly, he was just a pawn in the eyes of a top rich man like Su Zhen, and this consciousness made him feel a deep sense of frustration.

Victoria now finally understood why her husband had been so lifeless since he came back from the restaurant, and couldn't help but shake her head, she understood. This is just the pride of Beckham's empire on which the sun never sets, in the bones of an Englishman.

"Honey, it's a good thing to know the gap between ourselves and others, but we can't be presumptuous, look at them," Victoria said, pointing to the two bodyguards standing guard downstairs. "Do you think they have money? Throughout the UK, they also belong to the high-income group, for the lower strata. They are rich people, but are they not pawn-like characters in our eyes? ”

Beckham looked at his wife suspiciously, not knowing what his wife wanted to express.

"David, everyone has their own value. They all have their own meaning of existence, and it is meaningless to compare with others, even if it is the respected Queen's Majesty, if the light is compared to property, it is not as good as the two people we see today, but these two people have to salute respectfully when they see Her Majesty the Queen, in this world, money does not mean everything, anyone who goes to the extreme on a road will be an admired existence, and the 100 million you exist is in the green field, as long as you can do your best on the green field, you are still the pride of England" Victoria reassured her husband.

"But what about after retirement? I don't know anything but play, I'm nothing without football." Beckham said.

"Who said that? You can be a Hollywood star, unlike other players, you have the temperament to be an acting star, you have the psychological quality to withstand gossip, and you have countless fans, you know that you have more fans than Leonardo, you don't need to start as a nobody, you don't need to create scandals to increase your popularity, you think about how many director's invitations you have turned down, you can see how popular you are with those directors," Victoria said.

Beckham scratched his head with a wry smile as his wife began to indoctrinate him about Hollywood again.

Victoria also found that she seemed to be off track, and after a pause, she said: "You can still go into politics, with your reputation in England, I believe that any government will welcome you to Downing Street, and if you can become Prime Minister one day, any rich man will be courteous when he sees you, right?"

"Politics?" Beckham was stunned, he had never thought of this, but his wife said this, it seemed that it was not bad.

"But why don't you mention business?" Beckham asked his wife, confused.

Victoria couldn't help but cover her forehead when she heard this, her husband seemed to be stimulated by Su Zhen and Abu, two super-rich people, today, but to be honest, she was extremely suspicious of her husband's financial IQ.

Beckham saw his wife's expression, he knew the meaning, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again, indeed, before knowing Victoria, although he also had a lot of income, but his personal financial situation can be said to be a mess, Zhilu Dao and Victoria knew each other and took over his finances before he began to improve, and all these years Victoria has been controlling the investment of the family's property, with Victoria's keen sense of smell in the fashion industry, created his own fashion brand, has received a lot of endorsement contracts with great commercial value for Beckham, and Beckham has a rich net worth now, otherwise Beckham is likely to be as profligate as his teammates and have no savings.

However, Victoria didn't want to hit her husband's confidence like this, and carefully persuaded her, but she was thinking more about how to use Su Zhen's power to continuously increase her husband's commercial value, and finally run Beckham to Hollywood. (To be continued......)
