Chapter 305

Smith League Vision

There is a time difference of nearly eight hours between France and Hanoi.

It is now about ten o'clock in the morning in Paris.

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

By the way, after understanding the situation.

When Li Yuxin called Han Guo back. It's pretty much the same there, just at dinner time.

The real situation was when Li Fuzhen answered the phone.

Her father, mother and brother were all there to have dinner with her.

The Ly family came here on purpose, even Ly Tai Tich was willing to let Ly Ngoc Hinh leave for France.

Under Li Zaixi's strong request. Ly Phu Tran hesitated for a moment, then turned on his cell phone on speakerphone.

So, in the restaurant of a small villa in Gangnam district, Seoul, Hanguk.

The family of South Korea's economic leader received a call from the Ly family's youngest daughter from Europe.

"…The model is the same as most family offices. I read the contracts, and the lawyer that Ernie asked me to bring in also read these contracts and thought that these contracts were very common and were normal family office contracts.

Ly Ngoc Hinh said on the phone:

"What is worth mentioning is the way the members of this family office are treated. O'Neill, our father, when we were adults, gave us only one hundred thousand dollars a month to cover living expenses! But by that standard, that's three years for a minor. Millions of dollars, five million dollars a year for an adult!

Ly Ngoc Hinh's words just made Ly Tai Hi who was listening next to him blush.

Isn't one hundred thousand dollars a lot?

One hundred thousand dollars a month, 99.9999999% of Han people do not have this income!

But Li Zaixi heard that minors received three million dollars a year and adults received five million dollars a year.

Even Ly Tai Hi was a little speechless when he heard that. With such a high standard of living, is this raising a golden baby? Li Fuzhen's voice rang out, she replied to Li Yuxin:

"What about other conditions? Just living expenses?"

"Yeah oh, there are a lot of other terms. I can only remember a few, but they all seem powerful anyway."

"Like Security, the Smith family has its own security company called Rock Security. Anyone in the family can be protected by this company."

"There's also housing. The Smith family office will buy real estate in the world's 100 largest cities. As long as you are a member of the Smith family, you can live in these houses, whether you are staying there or traveling. »

"There are many other terms, some of which seem too professional. I can't even understand them. But our lawyer thinks this provision may not even be as rich as Rockefeller's.

"Sister, even though this person is a scum. But it must be said that in terms of material, he is a hundred times stronger than our father!

Li Yuxin didn't know that her father, mother, and brother were all listening beside her.

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

So Ms. Auto Lamp was pampered from a young age, so she spoke more recklessly. Liet Phuc looked at his father's funny face next to him.

"Okay. Then I ask you, Ngoc Tin, do you think I should sign or not?"

Ly Ngoc Hinh was silent.

She seemed to be confirming something to the person next to her and she spoke in a low voice in Korean.

This will involve discussing the contract with a lawyer sent by Li's family. About ten seconds later, Ly Vu Hinh's voice rang out again.

"Ernie. I asked the lawyer."

Ly Ngoc Hinh said softly:

"The lawyer said that after signing the contract, you and your children will enjoy many benefits. But in this matter, you and your children are like being tied to that bastard, you will no longer be free, not anymore." any freedom." love again."

"Is that all?" Li Fu actually answered like this. Li Yuxin remained silent, this time the silence was very short.

"Yeah, just those." "Ly Ngoc Hinh said.

"Then bring back the contract." Li Fuzhen said softly: "Please, Yuxin."

Li Yuxin remained silent and a few more seconds passed.

"Alright." "Ly Ngoc Hinh said.

"That's all for now. I'm sorry, Yuxin. Father and the others are all here, let's talk here first.

"Alright."

The call from Ly Ngoc Hinh's side was hung up.

Li Fuzhen looked at the relatives around her.

The eldest daughter of the Ly family smiled gracefully and maturely:

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

"After listening to it now. What do you think ?

"It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!" Li Zaixi said in a deep voice: "This American. Does he think he is the former emperor? Seventy-two concubines of Sangong and Six Court? It's the 21st century and they are Americans, not emperors! »

Li Fuzhen's mother also found it funny.

What is important is that the people who do these things come from East Asian cultural circles.

In ancient times it was like this. But the person who did this was a pure American.

The Li family felt strange.

But Ly Phuc was really satisfied.

The young lady touched her belly, even though it wasn't swollen yet.

But she thought she liked him a lot already. Because of his existence, changes that shook heaven and earth were brought to him.

This gave him great status and influence in Han.

She just hates herself for not meeting Abel sooner, which caused her to waste years of time!

Luckily, being someone else's wife seems to have added to her appeal.

This stinky guy always likes these things.

let yourself do this

Thinking frantically, Ly Phu Chan stood up and said:

"I have granted your wish. I will go to work now. I have to go to the company. I will not go with you, mother, father and brother.

Having finished speaking, Ly Phu Tran did not wait for her mother to convince her to stay.

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

Ly's mother also came from a wealthy family and couldn't help but look at her husband and son. But the two men of the Ly family did not speak or stop them.

Ly's mother could only let Ly Phu Chan go out.

After Ly Phu Tran left, Ly Tai Hi suddenly said:

"Don't worry about her anymore. Madam, your eldest daughter is stronger than anyone else. She has now received stronger help than the Ly family."

"If only Americans would have her and her children, she would have a better life than us."

Ly's mother remained silent. She felt that this family seemed to be gradually undergoing some kind of change.

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

Return to Paris.

In the end, they all signed the contract, or took over the contract themselves to sign.

So, Anne and the others after signing the contract wanted to find Abel. Abel went to a small meeting room in Godelma.

Here he met representatives of two German giants, who made special trips from Berlin to London and from London to Paris.

respectively John Wieland, representative of BMW.

There were also representatives from Volkswagen, Bered.

The two Germans were very frank and John Wieland said immediately upon arrival:

"Mr. Smith. We hope that you can convince the Vickers Group and the Rolls-Royce Motor Company to drop their lawsuit."

Bared nodded beside him.

Abel was surprised: "What do you mean? Sorry, I don't understand your English a bit. Maybe I should let a translator in?

John Wieland's English was not up to the standard of the time.

The German just looked at his companion, and Bered's English was more accurate. Bared smiled and said:

"Mr. Smith. John said just now, Volkswagen and BMW, I hope you can let the Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Company withdraw the lawsuit."

"OH." Abel nodded: "This time I understand English." But what do the lawsuits against the Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce have to do with me?

Abel reached out to the two Germans: "I don't even have shares in these two companies. What right do I have to force them to drop the lawsuit?"

Abel's different reactions were clearly expected by the Germans.

His "Shirk", the two Germans did not seem angry at all. Baired smiled and said patiently:

"That's what I said wrong before. I mean we hope that Mr. Smith, you can help us and tactfully ask London to withdraw the lawsuit. In this process, you just need to be an intermediary ."

Before Abel refused, Bered quickly offered his conditions.

"Of course, as the middleman, we will pay you. Mr. Smith, we understand you have invested in a football team in Manchester. So do you want to own a German football team? »

Abel was surprised to hear about Bered's blessing.

He didn't know what kind of brain circuits the Germans had.

"It's true I bought Manchester United but now I have a team. So why do I have to go to Germany to buy a football team? » Abel said smiling.

"I saw the New York Times report on you, Mr. Smith." Baired said:

"The press said, Mr. Smith, when buying companies in the same industry, he always likes to buy two at a time. So why can't you buy two at once when you buy a football team?

"Germany and the Premier League are not in conflict, just want to have both the English team and the German team. For example. What about the football club Hoffenheim in Germany?

Bastard!

Abel suddenly felt that what the German said seemed reasonable. Football is not the NBA, even F1 can have two teams at the same time.

The broken rules of these commercial leagues in the United States do not allow one person to own two teams.

But in Europe, there seems to be nothing that says you can't have both a Premier League team and a Bundesliga team.

Abel took a deep breath and looked at Baired.

"Alright. But why should I buy Hoffenheim? And this is clearly not a reward but allowing me to invest in your Germany?

"What if it was Hoffenheim Football Club for half the price?" Bach Thuy Duc smiled.

Half price for a Bundesliga team.

Abel thought quickly.

He doesn't know the specific value of a Bundesliga team. But he also knows that it will be much lower than the Premier League.

Manchester United is the best team in the Premier League, worth about 400 million pounds.

The value of Hoffenheim football club is estimated to be several hundred million pounds at most.

If it's half the price, could it be 50 million pounds cheaper?

Are these Germans that generous? Abel really doesn't believe it.

In fact, Abel miscalculated, because the most valuable Bundesliga team is at most half the value of Manchester United.

Currently, Hoffenheim Football Club cannot even play in the Bundesliga, they are just a Bundesliga team.

What Bered just said was about German teams, not Bundesliga teams.

It was Abel, a fake fan, who miscalculated Hoffenheim's value. Today, in 2001, due to the team's status, the commercial value of Hoffenheim Football Club is even lower.

In short, the value of Hoffenheim Football Club is not at all the 100 million pounds that Abel imagined.

However, in 2001, Hoffenheim was worth ten or twenty million pounds at most.

If you buy it at half price, it means from a few million to several tens of millions of pounds.

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

This is mainly because Abel received bad information. Furthermore, Abel is really not good at things other than finances.

But at that time, compared to tens of millions of pounds.

Abel prefers Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to refuse the ignorant Germans.

"So sorry. I don't know Vickers Group or Rolls-Royce Motor Company. »

Abel smiled and replied: "Then maybe you have to go on a trip for nothing."

His answer finally changed the expressions of the two Germans.

John Wieland can't help but speak poor English:

"Mr. Smith, think carefully. Volkswagen and BMW are talking to you now, our contract is in full compliance. You, the Vickers group and Rolls-Royce cannot succeed."

The German's tone made Abel a little uncomfortable.

Abel also became cold. "Two gentlemen from Berlin. I would like to ask: how many American military bases are there in Germany?"

John Wieland and Baired were surprised to hear this question that had nothing to do with Rolls-Royce.

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

"Let me tell you, the two sides have a total of seventeen, seventeen bases and two bases, the exact number is a total of nineteen bases."

"THEREFORE." He looked at the two Germans with cold eyes.

"I think it's best not to arbitrarily threaten an American. Even accidentally. Two gentlemen from Berlin, do you understand what I mean? »

Abel's words made Bai Ruide couldn't help but take a breath.

Berred stopped John Wieland who wanted to say something and apologized:

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Smith. John didn't mean it, sorry. We're about to leave, sorry."

Looking at the reasonable Bai Ruide, Abel smiled again: "That's right, I'm not from Rolls-Royce, BMW is a shareholder of Rolls-Royce. Then you should go to BMW, oh, you're a BMW yourself, go look for it." yourself."

"You're right. Mr. Smith, we're leaving, we're leaving." Bach Thuy Duc smiled and said.

After speaking, he directly pulled John Wieland away, the latter looked very bad. After exiting Godelma and getting in the car.

John Wieland, who still kept a gloomy expression, finally couldn't help but explode:

"Bayred, Baired! Do you hear? This Yankee is threatening me, he is threatening me!"

"I heard that." Bered said helplessly:

"But what he said is also the truth. John, our country indeed has many American military bases."

John Wieland remained silent.

Berred also said nothing. Although he is much better than the two dogs Neon and Han Guo.

But as a defeated nation and the originator of World War II, Germany's shackles have never been removed, and they are actually thicker than those of any other nation.

It's just that they benefit from the special geographical location of Central Europe and they have white skin.

This is why the German doesn't have to be completely a dog.

But it's not all about being a dog. If the Americans are serious, then covering 17 thousand US military bases across the country is a sword hanging over the heads of the German army.

Because in Germany, Americans are relatively reserved.

Therefore, normal Germans are not as vulnerable to attack by the American military as normal Neons and Han.

But the country's elite are more aware of American power.

"For what"

After being silent, Bai Ruide sighed: "John, don't forget, this is shown in intelligence. This Yankee is the bush's future son-in-law.

John Wieland knew what Baird meant.

Baileid told himself that when facing this American, he could not be as straightforward as when facing other Europeans.

Faced with the Americans, the Germans did not have the strength and economic advantage that they had over other Europeans.

"I got it." John Wieland said stiffly: "Shameless Americans!"

Bared smiled wryly.

Godelmari. Abel, who pretended to be a tiger again, gradually understood the coolness of a five-star emperor.

Facing the Germans could be amazing.

He couldn't even imagine how happy he would be after going to Nihong or Hanguo.

General Meserak was so cool back then

Negotiations with the Germans were just a phase for him.

It was these two Germans who reminded him of something. This made him less concerned about Europe in the following period.

This is something that the German reminded him that he could buy some teams in Europe.

After leaving the meeting room, he enthusiastically asked the Smith Intelligence Group to investigate.

Check around the world of European football to see if there are any restrictions on this type of thing.

After investigation, the Smith Intelligence Group spoke to Abel. At least, such regulation does not appear to exist.

It is the specific activity that UEFA can speak up and protest against.

Hearing that it was even possible, Abel wanted to try.

Since arriving in Paris, Abel immediately contacted Vivendi Universal group.

Thanks to the Vivendi Universal group, there is a Ligue 1 team. To be more precise, it is the Canal TV channel of Vivendi Universal group, with Ligue 1 football team.

The name of this French team is Paris Saint-Germain.

Abel spoke directly with the CEO, Jean-Marie Messier.
