At the end of August, there were two shocking news from the European football world.

One is Roman Abramovich, a wealthy man from the woolly bear country, who spent 120 million pounds to buy Chelsea Football Club in the Premier League.

The news was shocked mainly by Chelsea fans, but also by some Premier League fans.

The number of people who were shocked by another news, there were significantly more than this.

The news is that of American Abel Smith, who has just become the owner of Manchester United.

He announced it to the public on August 28 at a price of 110 million euros.

Acquired a 95% stake in Paris Saint-Germain from Canal+, a subsidiary of Vivendi Global Group.

Paris Saint-Germain Football Club is referred to as "Grand Paris" by its fans.

It is a football club based in Paris, the capital of France, founded in 1970 and a member of the French First Division.

The club's home stadium is the Parc des Princes, a 46,480-seat stadium in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France, owned by the City of Paris.

As soon as this news was announced, the owners of many European powerhouses stood up to question it.

Like the Premier League powerhouse, the main contender of the Red Devils, Gunners Arsenal's major shareholders Usmanov.

In an interview with The Sun, he bluntly said:

"The Americans are turning European football into gold-dollar football, and I think that's a very bad phenomenon."

Not long after Usmanov.

Bernard Tapi, the owner of France's Marseille football club, also claimed in an interview with reporters:

"If you can have two top European teams at the same time, everyone else doesn't have to play. Let Bill Gates come, he can buy the whole of European football! ”

When the reporter reminded Bernard Tapi, the owner of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, that he is another man who is richer than Bill Gates.

Bernard Tappi's response was, "Oh, that's easier. Then he can buy it twice, buy all the teams in Europe, and buy it twice! ”

The obvious yin and yang weirdness can be heard by everyone.

Under pressure, UEFA has also had to stand up and express concern.

UEFA president Lennart Johansson, also said in the newspaper:

"It is clear that Mr. Smith's transactions are not illegal. His transactions are legitimate. However, although it is legal, whether it is reasonable or not still needs to be studied. ”

Just when Lennart Johansson said he wanted to look into it.

On the same day, new news was announced.

That is the Dortmund football club, commonly known as the Hornets in Germany, and also officially announced that it was acquired.

The acquirer is the same person as Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.

Before the Europeans could react.

The next day, September 4, AC Milan in Serie A also fell.

Then came September 6.

La Liga Atletico Madrid Football Club has also announced their new owner.

Since then, Manchester United Football Club, Paris Saint-Germain Football Club, AC Milan Football Club, Borussia Dortmund Football Club, Atletico Madrid Football Club.

The five football teams in Europe's top five leagues have all become brother football teams because they have the same "daddy".

There was an uproar in European football, the attraction of several major leagues that had already started.

It's all because of this super explosive news that it has lost its charm.

European fans, who are in the mood to care whether the game is exciting or not.

They wondered, if the world's richest man does this, will no one in Europe stand up and stop it?

Is UEFA all dead? Can such outrageous things happen?

Under huge pressure from public opinion, the UEFA boss also had to leave UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, overnight.

Mr. Xi went to Paris overnight to communicate with Abel Smith.

However, at Paris Saint-Germain Football Club, I was told that the owner had left Paris and had gone to Venice in Italy yesterday.

Lennart Johansson had no choice but to leave Paris and rush to Venice.

Venice, Italy.

6 September 2001.

This day happened to be the third day of the Venice Film Festival.

Founded in 1932, the Venice Film Festival is the world's oldest film festival, the world's first international film festival, known as the "father of international film festivals", and one of the international A-category film festivals.

Together with the Cannes International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival, it is known as one of the three major international film festivals in Europe (the world's three major international film festivals), and the highest award is the "Golden Lion Award".

Held annually at the end of August and early September, this year's festival runs for ten days from September 4 to September 14.

Last night, Abel and the others came here.

Lennart Johansson came from Paris, when he rushed here.

Abel has already taken Annie and Jessica to visit this world-famous water city.

Venice, long before Abel was born again, when he was in elementary school.

There is a text on "Venice on the Water" with black and white illustrations.

That text made Abel deeply impressed by Venice.

The impression of Venice is that of a magical city submerged in the sea and rowing between buildings.

Abel arrived last night because it was late.

No one went out.

It just so happened that Annie and Jessica had a very coincidental physiological period together.

Aymour al-Amuddin was out of luck.

Last night, Legally Blonde withstood all the firepower output alone.

Today, Anne and Jessica, who have been fully rested, can go out with Abel energetically.

Aimo Alamuddin had no choice but to rest in the hotel.

When people leave the hotel, it is easy to see the waterways and wooden bridges that run between the houses.

Occasionally, a ferry passes under the bridge, and visitors sit on the boats and enjoy the scenery around them.

This novel scene, even Abel couldn't help but want to play it.

David had already made arrangements and hired a number of local ferries - gondolas.

This kind of black coffin, which is completely black and looks like a quiet swim on the water, is definitely a major feature of the local area.

Abel chose a four-seater boat, with Anne and Jessica sitting together on the fiery red seats, and Abel himself was tall and occupied the two seats.

The boatman slowly propped the boat up and wandered through the long alley.

Of course, there were seven or eight similar boats around, all of which were guarded by his rocky guards.

When visiting Venice, the gondola is one of the most unmissable romantic getaways.

Abel relaxed himself and looked at Shuangjiao, who was still a little uneasy on the other side, and he was a little pleasing to the eye.

The two teenage girls are real peers.

Jessica turned 19 on her birthday in April.

Anne won't turn 19 until November.

At this age, they haven't all grown yet.

But they accepted Abel's nourishment in advance, and their beauty has been completely released, and what they lack is only the precipitation of temperament brought by time.

In addition, it is the youngest age stage of the European and American races, and it perfectly blends youth and beauty.

In the Venetian sun, they look beautiful and thrilling, each with its own unique temperament.

Both of them were a little uncomfortable to look at by him.

If only one of them was alone with Abel at this time.

Even if there are many other people around at this time, they will definitely immediately throw themselves into their arms and be coquettish and intimate.

But there was another person, and they all held back this thought.

I'd rather huddle with a woman I don't like, than come over and make out with Abel when another woman is on the spot.

Even during this time, Anne, who has achieved a take-off achievement.

She would rather be with Aymus Alamuddin, even alive or dead, than with Jessica.

Jessica, too, prefers to be with Aymus Alamuddin, a stranger who actually resembles Anne.

Just not with Anne.

The two seem to be a little competitive, and there is a little bit of a feeling of fighting.

Abel was a little helpless about this, because he had some feelings for these two people.

In the face of the two of them, he was unwilling to use force, and there was no other good way.

He simply let the two of them fight, as long as the intensity is guaranteed.

In the vindictiveness of Anne and Jessica.

The boat drifts aimlessly, crossing bridges full of stories.

While admiring the beauty of Shuangjiao, Abel listened to the melancholy voices of the boatman and the musician who accompanied the boat, listened to the Italian folk songs, and looked at the magnificent or vicissitudes of architecture along the way.

The charm of this slow pace is indescribable, and it can be with such two beautiful and beautiful babies.

Abel feels that no matter how irritable things are, he will leave them behind, and he can quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery, without excessive flowery rhetoric, just need to see, listen and enjoy.

This made him adapt to the prosperous and luxurious heart, and gradually calmed down a little.

After more than an hour on the boat, it was not until he got a little tired that Abel ended the trip on the Venetian boat.

With the blessing of the boatman and the musician's dry English, he left the city of Venice with Shuangjiao and headed for the Lido Island in Venice.

Lido, is a barrier island in the Venetian lagoon. Lido's beach in Venice, the island that separates the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea.

It is an elongated island that stretches for about 12 kilometers between the Venetian lagoon and the Adriatic Sea, bordering the ports of San Nicolò and Maramoco, and is connected to the city and the mainland only by regular water buses and motorized vehicle transport.

Lido is one of the few islands in the lagoon with vehicular roads.

It even has a small tourist airport.

More stylish and residential than traditional Venice, the Lido still offers small canals, a variety of dining and stunning views of the city from across the lagoon.

It is also one of the most affluent areas in Venice.

It is better known internationally for its sandy beaches, where the Venice Film Festival takes place every year.

Ordinary people can only get to Venice Lido Island from downtown Venice by water bus or wait for the pier to pass.

Naturally, Abel didn't have to squeeze the water bus, and a yacht took him and Anne and the others over, and went straight to a mansion dock on Lido Island.

Disembarking at the pier, Abel stares at the Venetian mansion in front of him.

This is the estate specialist of the family office, who spent more than a month specially selecting a Venetian mansion for him.

It is located on the corner of the long Lido Island, facing the lagoon in two of the four directions.

In these two directions, there is a private beach of about 200 square meters on one side.

On one side of the cliff terrain, a small pier was built to moor ships up to 30 meters in length.

Abel and the others are logging in here at the docks.

The real estate commissioner of the family office is called Hanks, and he is a guy with British, French, and American citizenship.

Hanks has worked for top real estate agents in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.

This time, he was recruited by the Smith Family Office and has since become the estate specialist of the family office.

The main task of the family office real estate specialist is to acquire, add, sell and invest in various real estate for the Smith family all over the world, and is mainly responsible for the real estate investment, use and operation of the family office.

At this moment, Hanks is introducing his boss to this unique Italian mansion on the Lido Island in Venice.

"This beautiful villa with 185 square meters outdoor pool and 115 square meters indoor pool. Two swimming pools, both with direct access to the private beach outside. ”

"It has 3 floors and each floor is spacious and comfortable. There is a 200m2 main living room, 4 kitchens, 14 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and balcony and fantastic sea views. ”

"SPACIOUS SPA AREA WITH DIRECT ACCESS TO THE OUTDOOR POOL. Four large terraces, all with barbecue grills and additional bathrooms. ”

"There are five staff apartments in the basement, which is ok."

“.”

Unlike the British and Americans, Italy, which had already undergone the reform of weights and measures, honestly used the legal system.

That is, the world's common metric units such as meters and kilometers.

Abel directly interrupted Hanks's introduction, and the real estate specialist still didn't understand his boss's habits when buying a house.

"Just tell me how much it is." Abel said.

Hanks hurriedly replied, "It takes 50 billion." ”

The number he reported startled Annie and Jessica, who were following Abel and were very satisfied with this large coastal villa.

Five tens of billion? Dollar?

The two girls who haven't been abroad much have their beautiful eyes widened.

"Don't tell me how much it's worth, tell me how many dollars it's worth."

"I'm sorry." Hanks immediately said, "When converted into dollars, that's $26 million." ”

The euro issued in Europe was only officially issued on 1 January 2000.

But its circulation needs a process, and the euro is not yet available on the Italian side.

The Italian government has announced that it will not officially use the euro until January 1 next year.

After that, the lira will be phased out.

Until then, Italy had used the Italian lira.

The Italian lira, on the other hand, once issued a single 500,000 lira banknote in 1997.

This shows how low the Italian lira is.

It's lower than the value of the won, and it's scary to say it when you don't know the unit.

"Then buy it."

Abel then said to David beside him, "Just let the people of Ferretti come here." ”

David smiled and nodded.

However, no one who waited for Ferretti Yachts came here to meet Abel.

A friend of Abel in the United States.

After hearing that he was here, he made a special trip from the venue of the Venice Film Festival.

The person who came was called Waleed, none other than Buffett in the desert, Prince Waleed, one of the princes of the desert region.

The so-called piece of cloth on my head, I am super rich, and I am referring to people like Waleed.

Not long after.

With a white cloth on his head and a large entourage, Prince Waleed came to the Lido mansion that Abel had just bought.

I walked in from the outside and took a brief look around.

Prince Waleed came to Abel and said to him with a smile:

"Nice house in a very good location. It's just a little small, twice as small as I have on the north end. ”

The house, which covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters, is said to be small.

Abel was not angry, he knew that he could compare with himself in this area, and it was the guys who sold oil.

"Why are you here?"

Abel asked with a smile.

Waleed was one of Abel's few friends who didn't have much business to do with him.

The two have occasional contact, and the relationship is okay.

"There are several films from our country that participated in this year's Venice Film Festival. I am the honorary chairman of the Tesa Kingdom Film Association this year, so I should have a visit. Prince Waleed said with a smile.

"Is there still a movie in the Kingdom of Tessa? Filmed yourself? Abel was surprised.

Waleed said disapprerovingly, "I knew you would have this expression when you heard it." My friend, the Kingdom of Tesa is also a modern country, with cinemas and audiences, so it will naturally have its own film market and film industry. ”

The Kingdom of Tesa is a modern country.

Abel wanted to laugh, but he was embarrassed to laugh, so he had to change the topic:

"Waleed, wait a minute, the Ferretti people will come. I would like to order a few yachts, are you interested? ”

When the two met last year, they exchanged views on yachting for a long time.

Waleed was awakened by Abel and determined to buy the world's most luxurious and largest yacht.

Over the past year, Waleed has actually been in contact with a number of luxury yacht manufacturers.

Even the general intention is already known, so it is left to sign a contract and start construction.

But now that Abel said this, Waleed immediately smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem, it just so happens that my yacht hasn't been decided yet." Ferretti is it, maybe we can place an order together! ”

"Haha~ Okay." Abel said with a smile.

The two simply chatted in the outdoor pool of the villa, under the huge sun umbrella.

Chatting and chatting, the Ferretti Yachts people have not yet arrived.

The UEFA United host, who had been on the road for a day, finally found this place.

When he heard that Lennart Johansson was coming to see him, Abel was not at all surprised.

"Who is Lennart Johansson?" Waleed asked curiously.

"The owner of UEFA, the nominal first person in European football."

Abel said casually, and then asked David to let him in.

Waleed was already thinking about whether he should buy a team to play around.

Then Lennart Johansson came in and had just finished greeting Abel.

The UEFA leader heard Prince Waleed, who was next to him with a white cloth on his head, say.

"Sir, I also want to buy a European team, I wonder if Europe welcomes our investment?"

The golden yuan game in European football has been opened.
