Chapter 289: Standing like a minion

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

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

Within Lloyds Bank, there are a large number of shareholders from Wall Street.

But none of these Wall Street shareholders is Smith Capital.

There is also no shrub family, and even less a military-industrial complex.

What Craven was worried about at this time was whether Abel was the representative of the interests of the military-industrial complex in the thirteen continents of North America.

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

Then Lloyds Bank will not refuse.

It can also be just a little meaningful, just divide it into 0.1%, 0.2% or so shares.

But in case if Abel is a shrub, or the interests of the military-industrial complex behind them.

Then you can't just deal with it.

Something will happen.

It is because I know too well what is going on in the British Isles and the City today.

At Abel's simple request, Cravin fell into infinite troubles.

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

The CEO of Lloyds Bank responded softly:

"Thank you very much, Mr. Smith, for your. Lloyds Bank is deeply honoured. As for your stake request, Lloyds Bank will carefully consider it within a week. No, in three days, I'll give you an answer."

Able smiled and nodded.

In fact, Abel didn't think as much as Kraven thought.

Kraven has to worry about Abel's posthumous identity and the American interests he may represent.

This is purely Kraven's self-braining.

Abel's purpose was 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 happily.

If you are here, you can't live without a foothold.

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

It would be safer if you could buy some of the shares and become a shareholder in them.

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

Especially in the United Kingdom, when faced with the interests of the United States, it is often very hard-mouthed, but it is always the one who kneels the fastest.

The main thing is that when facing the United States, Britain really kneels without any psychological burden

The conversation with Kraven was also ended because of the Lloyds Bank CEO's heavy concerns and his serious self-remediation.

This time I came to the UK.

Abel's advisory group studied for a long time, and it wasn't Abel who patted his head and came over immediately.

The advisory group studied for half a year, and actually believed that Britain at this time was in addition to finance and media.

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

The national strength of the British Isles has long been much worse than before, and it is the capital and enterprises here that have declined along with the country.

What's more, as early as the Thatcher period, the country's interests had long been carved up.

If Abel wants to enter. He entered not a blue sea, but a red sea that had already been mastered. ….

The owners of this Red Sea, and more importantly, are not actually British.

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

Behind each of them, there is a strong oil man, or the shadow of Wall Street capital.

To put it simply, these monopoly giant companies in Britain have more or less some American capital in them.

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

true

To put it bluntly, it should be American and British capital.

This situation is actually very similar to Han Guo and Neon, both of which are just overseas economic colonies on Wall Street. The land of the people.

In other words, Abel's entry into the British market is actually entering an overseas market in the United States.

In addition to himself, he is preparing to make a new energy track.

No matter what field he enters in the UK, he is actually competing with the original track leader in the US.

At most, it's just a different place to compete, and nothing else is too different.

The reason why the media and finance are particularly singled out.

It's because the advisory group also feels that the boss is basically invincible in finance, and he can play as much as he wants.

As for the media, it was Abel who asked for it.

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 make money by cutting leeks in finance and controlling the mouthpiece of public opinion with the media, and these two points are enough.

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

That in the overseas economy of the United States. It will not be too difficult to become big if you want to make it big.

Referring to Abel's idea, his advisory group drew up a plan for Britain or Europe for him.

Basically, the main focus is on finance and media.

In other ways, it's either Abel's hobbies or fun.

For example, investing in football and F1 are all Abel's hobbies and whims.

Either that or that there are certain areas that complement finance and media.

In other respects, if Abel is not interested, the advisory group will not make too detailed plans for him.

Now according to the plan designed by the advisory group for Abel.

Abel's next step is to continue to buy a large number of newspapers and television stations in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Then they take a stake here, and even buy those banks and financial groups in Europe.

Achieve the purpose of financial influence and control of public opinion.

It is also worth mentioning that with Abel, there is also 1450 information consulting company

Within a week of coming, the company had already applied for the establishment of nine NGOs in Europe.

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

Soros will do what he will do in the future, and even what he is already doing now.

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

And I want to make 1450 Network Information Company do it more smoothly here.

The channel through which we can speak, that is, the media field, is very important.

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

This is the heart of Abel's plan for Britain, or Europe! ….

The main purpose of holding this cocktail party tonight is to serve this purpose.

In the midst of the staggered cups, David Duranley Walker returned.

This means that all the guests invited to tonight's cocktail party have arrived.

David Drairy Walker, as the master of ceremonies and half of the host, smiled and announced the official start of the reception.

With this Walker's David here, David and Abel of Abel, and even little Laura, can also breathe a sigh of relief.

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

At the cocktail party, Abel only had one David Jones, who was similar to the butler, to help.

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

Fortunately, little Laura has this education in her family education.

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

Even if she doesn't know it very well, she can get into the role very quickly, and she did well tonight.

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

In addition, his personality does not like this kind of excitement in the first place.

It's okay to deal with it, but 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 drinking party has to be held again.

He had to treat it as a job, a job that he had to deal with.

Now David Deranry Walker is in.

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

Let David Walker's wife and little Laura deal with the female companions of the male guests.

Abel himself took the opportunity to urinate.

He ran to a small lounge on the second floor, sat on the sofa by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down on the reception below.

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

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

"Boss, someone's coming. It's a guest at a cocktail party."

Someone would come, and Abel wasn't surprised at all.

He knew that he was the core of tonight's cocktail party, and the audience didn't know how many people were staring at him.

You want to avoid this nuisance altogether, unless you really hide, or the drinking party is over.

Otherwise, you will only have a moment to spare.

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

But after the urination is over, it is still inevitable to continue working. You can only wait until you 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 bodyguard captain only remembered a few important ones.

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

"His name is Roman Abramovich."

Johnson, next to Edward, suddenly whispered:

"It seems that a businessman from Mao Xiongguo has been chatting for a long time with the lawyer you found today."

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

Johnson's face was expressionless, this black King Kong was a facial paralysis, which was in stark contrast to Abel's other black King Kong's tuberculosis attributes.

"Boss, you know. I'm a sniper, and I'm used to observing people at a distance. I'm very sensitive to other people's gaze, gaze." ….

Johnson, one of the Black King Kongs, said, "This guy from the Woolly Bear Country, he's been staring at you all the time. I went to someone and asked him who he was."

"That's a good habit." Abel smiled and praised him, "Keep up the good work! Let this guy from the Furry Bear Country come in. I've heard of this guy."

Roman Abramovich, Abel is too familiar.

It's not the American Abel cooked, it's the traverser Abel cooked.

Hearing that Roman Abramovich came to look for him, Abel also wanted to meet the legendary oligarch of the Woolly Bear Country.

Edward got Abel's permission to let 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 bit tongue-in-cheek, a bit of Mao-style English.

Later, in order to remove his hair and enter Europe, he may have worked hard to study, and his English became more and more authentic.

So much so that when I spoke English in the media later, I couldn't hear the Mao-style accent anymore.

It's all a bit of a Cambridge flavor.

In order to remove hair and enter Europe, Abramovich can be said to be really hard.

It's a pity that even he is a big capitalist from beginning to end.

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

This is true not only of Abramovich, but also of other oligarchs and wealthy businessmen of the woolly bear country.

One of Google's two co-founders, Sergey Brin is already considered the best businessman in the European and American world.

But this Sergei Brin, he comes from a family of oilers.

From this point of view, the mainstream society in the European and American world has never regarded Maozi as its own person from beginning to end.

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

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

"What's the matter with me? Mr? It's so lively down there, why don't you go to it? This party will help you meet more friends, and it will be helpful for a furry bear merchant like you in London."

In the face of Abel's kind words and expressions, Abramovich was surprised in his heart.

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

When facing the same kind of people in the woolly bear country, there has always been a feeling of being on top.

Abramovich, who has spent most of his time in Europe for the past two years, knows this well.

However, at this moment, Abramovich did not perceive the condescending attitude of other European and American tycoons and magnates in Abel.

This made Abramovich feel a little flattered.

"Oh, Mr. Smith." Abramovich laughed and said:

"Of course I will. Your reception was so lively, I liked it very much. But I have two things to ask you about."

Because of the dominance of the Chinese soul, plus the reason why I like football and Chelsea more.

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? Say it."

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

This oligarch, who has a very high status within Maozi but is very looked down upon in Europe, hurriedly said:

"I think F1 is going to be a good business in the future. I want to invest in an F1 team. I heard Mr. Smith that you have two convoys."

"I'd like to buy one of these teams from you. Well, I'm going to buy your Tesla fleet for $200 million, I wonder what you think?"

Abel looked at Abu with interest.

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

Prince Waleed, the desert god.

At that time, Prince Waleed sold shares in Abel News Corporation, and there was also a time to sell Abel Yachts.

Also like the current Abramovich.

When it is said to sell or buy, it is actually giving money.

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

The approach is similar to these two.

"The Tesla fleet isn't worth $200 million." Abel smiled lightly, and seeing that Abramovich wanted to speak, he stopped:

"Mr. Abramovich, I know what you want to do. If you want to invest in F1, I'm for it. But the Tesla team just isn't worth the price."

"$10 million. Add to that the liabilities of Tesla's fleet, and there is one more condition. If you can say yes, then I can sell you the Tesla team."

As with Walid, this little cheap Abel doesn't look down on.

Abramovich didn't expect it to go so smoothly today.

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

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

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

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

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

Abramovich knew that Abel's girlfriend was little Laura.

He also knows the identity of little Laura.

If you can use Formula 1 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 can't change its name. If you don't want it in the future, the team will be sold back to me at the price I sold to you."

Abel said, "That's the condition, if you still want to. Tomorrow I will send someone to sign a contract with my people."

Pull Abramovich, who has deep pockets and doesn't treat money as money, into F1.

Abel thinks it should be good for revitalizing F1, stimulating other teams, and attracting viewers and ratings.

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

The latter bought two, mainly because of the local tyrant's heart attack, and these two teams were also very cheap at that time.

It's not half sold and half given away, and if you don't look at the debt, it's close to giving it all.

Now the purpose of gift-giving has been achieved.

Little Laura couldn't manage two convoys by himself. ….

Sell one of them to Abramovich while still being able to name Tesla.

Abel felt that the deal was not a loss.

In addition, Abel thought that he could also tone down his colors in F1.

Otherwise, as the real behind-the-scenes boss of F1, he has two more teams, and it is not good to say it.

Even if Abramovich doesn't come to the door.

After winning F1.

Abel was thinking about selling the two convoys in name.

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

The cost of the follow-up maintenance of the team is paid by Abel himself, and the benefit is taken by Abel himself.

But the name makes Ted Lerner the boss, and I'm sure Ikana or her dad will be happy.

You don't have to do anything, just put on a name and be the owner of an F1 team.

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

Now that Abramovich has come to the door, Abel simply sold the Tesla team to him.

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

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

Just let little Laura get over the addiction of a team manager.

Little Laura probably doesn't care if the team is hers or not, she just wants the sense of accomplishment of participating and running.

Abu agreed to Abel's terms.

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

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

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

"Go ahead and buy Chelsea." Abel almost didn't think about it, and said with a smile:

"I think you deserve Chelsea."

Roman Abramovich wondered, does the Chelsea team have anything to do with Smith?

Otherwise, I didn't even think about it, and just gave this suggestion?

He didn't know it was Abel's bad taste.

But on the surface, Abramovich naturally smiled hurriedly:

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

Abu has decided that even if there is a little blood, he will take Chelsea.

"Alright." I have seen Abu Zhenren, and Abel's feelings have disappeared.

Able stood up, "Have fun. Mr. Abramovich, I'm going down to entertain the guests."

Abramovich hurriedly responded.
