The time difference between France and Hanguo is close to eight hours.

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

On the Han side, it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

In this way, after understanding the situation.

When Li Yuxin went to Hanguo to call back.

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

The actual situation is when Li Fuzhen answers the phone.

Her father, mother, and brother all had dinner with her.

The Li family came on purpose, and even Li Yuxin went to France, which was also acquiesced by Li Zaixi.

At the strong request of Lee Jae-xi.

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

As such, in the restaurant of a small villa in the Gangnam district of Seoul.

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

“…… The model is the same as most family offices. I've read the contracts, and the lawyer Ernie asked me to bring with me has also read these contracts, and I think the contracts are very ordinary, just normal family office contracts. ”

Li Yuxin said on the phone:

"The main thing worth mentioning is the treatment of this family office member, Ernie our father, who only gives us $100,000 a month for living expenses when we are adults! But according to this standard, it is $3 million a year for minors, and $5 million a year for adults! ”

Li Yuxin's previous words made Li Zaixi, who was listening next to him, darken his face.

Is 100,000 dollars a lot?

100,000 US dollars a month, 99.9999999% of Han people do not have this income!

But Lee heard that minors have $3 million a year and adults have $5 million a year.

Even Li Zaixi was a little stunned when he heard it, with such a high cost of living, is this raising a golden doll?

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

"What about the other terms? Is there only living expenses? ”

"Oh oh, there are so many other terms as well. I only remember a few, and they all look awesome anyway. ”

"Like security, the Smith family has their own security company called Rock Security. As long as you are a member of the family, you can be protected by this company. ”

"And the residence. Smith Family Office will purchase 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 resident or traveling. ”

"There are so many other clauses, some of which seem too professional. I don't even understand it. But our lawyers say that this clause may not even be as generous as Rockefeller's. ”

"Sister, that person is a bastard though. But I have to say that in the material area, he is more than a hundred times stronger than our father! ”

Li Yuxin didn't know that her father, as well as her mother and brother, were all listening by her sister's side.

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

Therefore, the lady of the headlight, who has been spoiled since she was a child, speaks more wantonly.

Li Fu really looked at the dark face of her father next to her funny.

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

Li Yuxin was silent.

She seemed to be confirming something with the person next to her, and she was whispering, speaking in Korean.

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

After maybe more than ten seconds, Li Yuxin's voice sounded again.

"Ernie. I've asked a lawyer. ”

Li Yuxin said softly:

"The lawyer said that although after signing the visa, you and your children will enjoy numerous benefits. But at this point, you and your child are equivalent to being tied to that bastard. You will no longer have freedom, and you will never have love again. ”

"Is that all?" Li Fu's response was really like this.

Li Yuxin's side was silent again, and this time the silence was very short.

"Yes, that's all." Li Yuxin said.

"Then bring the contract back." Li Fuzhen said softly: "Please, Yu Xin." ”

Li Yuxin's side was silent again, and a few seconds passed.

"Okay." Li Yuxin said.

"That's it for now. I'm sorry for you, Yu Xin. Father, they're here, so let's talk about it first. ”

"Okay."

The call was shortened on Li Yuxin's side.

Li Fuzhen looked up at the relatives around her.

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

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

"Now after listening to it. What do you think? ”

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Lee Jae-seo said in a deep voice, "The American." Did he think he was an ancient emperor? Seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courts? It's the twenty-first century, he's an American, not an emperor! ”

Li Fuzhen's mother also thought it was ridiculous.

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

That's how it was in ancient times.

But the person who did it was a pure American.

The Li family thought it was weird.

But Li Fuzhen was already satisfied.

The eldest lady touched her belly, even if it was not bulging yet.

But she felt like she loved it so much.

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

It brought her great status and influence in the Han Kingdom.

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

Fortunately, the identity of other people's wives seems to be a bonus to their own charm.

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

Let yourself do that

Thinking crankily in his heart, Li Fuzhen stood up and said:

"I have fulfilled your wishes. Now I'm going to work. I'm going to go to the company. I won't be with you, Mother, Father, and Brother. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Fuzhen did not wait for her mother to stay.

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

Mother Li, who is also a proud family, couldn't help but look at her husband and son.

But the two men of the Li family did not speak or stop the action.

Mother Li could only let Li Fuzhen go out.

After Li Fuzhen left, Li Zaixi suddenly spoke:

"Don't worry about her anymore. Madame, your eldest daughter is better than anyone else. She has now received more powerful help than the Li family. ”

"As long as Americans are willing to have her, willing to have her children. She's going to be better off than we are. ”

Mother Li was silent.

She felt as if something was slowly changing in this home.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

Look back to Paris.

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

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

Abel had already arrived in a small meeting hall in Gödelmar.

Here, he met with representatives of two German giants who had travelled from Berlin to London and from London to Paris.

They are John Wieland, the representative of BMW.

There is also the representative of Volkswagen, Braid.

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

"Mr. Smith. We hope that you will be able to get the Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to drop their lawsuits. ”

Barred nodded beside him.

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

John Wieland's English just now is a bit non-standard.

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

Barred smiled and said:

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

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

Abel threw his hands at the two Germans, "I don't even have a single stock of these two companies. What authority do I have to get them to drop the lawsuit? ”

Abel's reactions were apparently expected by the Germans.

With this kind of "shirk", the two Germans did not seem to be angry.

Barred smiled and said patiently:

"That's what I just said wrong. I mean we want Mr. Smith to help us and tactfully tell the London side to get them to drop the case. In this process, you only need to be a middleman. ”

Before Able could refuse, Barred hurriedly gave conditions.

"Of course. As an intermediary, we will pay you. Mr. Smith, we've heard that you invested in a football team in Manchester. So are you interested in owning a German team? ”

Hearing this benefit from Barred, Abel was stunned.

He didn't know what brain circuits the Germans were.

"I bought Manchester United, yes. But I now have a soccer team. So why should I go to Germany to buy a team again? Abel said with a smile.

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

"The newspaper said, Mr. Smith, you have always liked to buy two at a time when you buy companies in the same industry. So why can't you buy two football teams at the same time? ”

"Germany and the Premier League are not in conflict, you can have both English and German football teams if you want."

Fack!

Abel suddenly felt that this German seemed to have some truth in what he said.

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

In the United States, the commercial leagues do not allow one person to own two teams.

But on the European side, it seems that there is no saying that you can't have a Premier League football team and a Bundesliga football team at the same time.

Able took a deep breath as he looked at Barred.

"Okay. Even so, then why should I buy Hoffenheim? And it's obviously not a reward, it's for me to invest in your Germany, right? ”

"What if it's half-price Hoffenheim FC?" Barred smiled.

Half price for a Bundesliga team.

Abel thought quickly.

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

However, he also knows that it should be much inferior to the Premier League.

Manchester United is the top team in the Premier League, worth around £400 million.

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

Half the price, 50 million pounds?

Are these Germans so generous? Abel wasn't convinced.

In fact, Abel miscalculated, because the team with the highest value in the Bundesliga is at most only half the value of Manchester United.

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

What Buffard said just now was about the German team, not about the Bundesliga team.

It was Abel himself, as a pseudo-fan, who miscalculated the value of Hoffenheim.

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

Taken together, the value of Hoffenheim Football Club is not as good as the 100 million pounds Abel imagined.

At the moment in 2001, Hoffenheim was worth around £10 million or 20 million at most.

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

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

This is mainly due to the fact that Abel was beaten up with an information gap.

In addition, Abel is really not good at other aspects except for the financial field.

It's just that at this time, compared to tens of millions of pounds.

Abel wanted Rolls-Royce Motor Cars more.

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

"I'm sorry. I'm not familiar with the Vickers Group, nor Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. ”

Abel replied with a smile, "So I might have to let you run for nothing." ”

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

John Wieland couldn't help but say in non-standard English:

"Mr. Smith, please think about it. Now it's Volkswagen and BMW talking to you, and our contract is fully compliant. You, Vickers and Rolls-Royce, are not going to succeed. ”

The tone of this German made Abel a little unhappy.

Abel also grimaced.

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

John Wieland and Barred were both stunned when they heard this question, which had nothing to do with Rolls-Royce.

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

"Let me tell you. There are seventeen, seventeen bases, and two bases shared by the two countries, to be exact, there are nineteen bases in total. ”

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

"I think you'd better not just threaten an American. Even if it's unintentional. Two gentlemen from Berlin, do you know what I mean? ”

Abel's words made Barred couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Barred stopped John Wieland, who was still trying to say something, and stood up and apologized:

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

Looking at the sensible Barred, a smile bloomed on Abel's face again, "That's right." I'm not a Rolls-Royce person, BMW is a shareholder of Rolls-Royce. So you should go to BMW, oh, you yourself are BMW, go find yourselves. ”

"You're right. Mr. Smith, let's go, let's go. Rhett said with a smile.

After saying that, he directly pulled John Wieland away, and the latter's face looked extremely bad.

Wait until you get out of Goldmar and get into the car.

John Wieland, who had been blackening his face, finally couldn't help but burst out:

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

"I hear you." Barred said helplessly:

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

John Wieland was silent.

Barred didn't speak either.

Although it looks a lot better than the two dogs of Neon and Hanguo.

But as the defeated and initiating country of World War II, Germany's chain has never been removed, and it is actually thicker than anyone else.

It's just that they benefit from the special geographical location in the middle of Europe, plus they have that white skin.

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

But it's just not exactly being a dog.

If the Americans were really serious, the 17+2 US military bases covering the whole country would be a sword hanging over the heads of the Germans.

Because in Germany, the Americans are still more restrained.

Therefore, ordinary Germans are not as sensitive to the US military as ordinary neon people and Han people.

But the country's elite knows better the power of the Americans.

"Hey"

After the silence, Barred sighed, "John." Don't forget, it's shown in the intelligence. This Yankee is the future son-in-law of the bush. ”

John Wieland knew what Breed meant.

Braid was telling himself that he should not be as direct as he was with other Europeans.

When facing the Americans, the Germans did not have the economic strength and advantage that other Europeans bring.

"I see." John Wieland said a little stiffly: "Shameless Americans! ”

Barred smiled wryly.

Gödelmari.

Abel, who was a fox and a fake tiger again, gradually understood the coolness of being a five-star emperor.

It's so cool to face the Germans.

He couldn't imagine what he would be able to do after he went to Neon or Hanguo.

General Maiser Ark back then, how refreshing he was

The negotiations with the Germans were just an episode for him.

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

This incident made him not bored in Europe for the next period of time.

That's what the Germans reminded him about the possibility of buying a few teams in Europe.

After leaving the conference hall, he excitedly asked the Smith Intelligence Group to check it out.

Check the football world in Europe and see if there are any restrictions on this kind of thing.

After the inquiry, the Smith Intelligence Group told Abel.

At least not in terms of explicit provisions.

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

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

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

Because under the Vivendi Global Group, there is a Ligue 1 team.

To be exact, Canal+, owned by Vivendi Global, has a Ligue 1 football team.

The name of this Ligue 1 football team is Paris Saint-Germain.

Abel approached Jean-Marie Messier directly, the CEO.
