Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, is a dream place for the world's richest people and a gathering place for Hollywood superstars. If you can own a house here, it will definitely represent money and status.

When he came to Beverly Hills for the first time, to be honest, even if he was not a banana person who admired foreign things, Yang Dongxu felt like a pilgrimage. After all, this place was simply too high-end and mysterious for him, who was just a loser in his previous life.

However, after coming here, I was shocked and shocked, and I also felt that I was more famous than before. When your status reaches a certain level, the dream that was elusive in the previous life, in this life, you can buy an independent villa here with just a word.

All kinds of feelings are undoubtedly much duller.

"Long time no see!" Yang Dongxu got out of the car at the door of a villa and received a big hug.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I last saw you, and you've become more and more low-key now." Yang Dongxu patted Troy on the back and said half-jokingly.

Although it was half-joking, there was also a certain element of truth in it. Because Tuo Yi had indeed kept a low profile in recent years, Yang Dongxu didn’t know much about it at first because he didn’t go shopping for treasures in the north.

In recent years, there have been some transactions with the north, and with the existence of Natasha, he roughly knew the reason why Toy kept a low profile, and even only took it with him in the United States without returning to Russia.

Toy's family could only be regarded as a small family during the Soviet period, and it was still inconspicuous. But under the various manipulations of Toy's uncle Ivan Sr.

Now Toy's family, not to mention various personal connections and resources, is as confident as any of Russia's current financial oligarchs in terms of pure wealth.

Since the Communist Party came to power, it can be said that the attack on the domestic financial oligarchs has been extremely iron-handed, coupled with some historical reasons. Toy can only stay in the United States and dare not return to the country, otherwise he is very likely to face being taken advantage of.

risks of.

However, the chance of this being dealt with at once is very small. After all, Ivan Sr. is very skilled. When he cooperated with those behind the scenes, he also left behind a deep network of contacts.

The Communist Party can touch the current Russian financial oligarchs, because these oligarchs insist on getting involved in finance and banking. In the end, they personally handed the butcher knife to the Communist Party. It would be embarrassing if they don't chop your head directly.

But the Toy family is different. They have become very low-key after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Although no one is wronged even if they are sent to a prison cell if they are seriously investigated, they hide their little tail very well. Unless the police want to force it.

Come, otherwise their family will be very safe.

But even if it is safe, you are not afraid of ten thousand, so you are afraid of the worst, so old Ivan divided the family assets. On the Russian side, it was a pity for the former boss to give up, so it is still in business.

Overseas, the wealth that was plundered was naturally taken advantage of, and it was all left to Toy to take care of. For safety reasons, Toy has moved his family to the United States and will not easily return to Russia.

"You are still so funny when you talk." Tuoyi patted Yang Dongxu on the back, and the two of them walked towards the villa.

Beverly Hills is just a place where Troy comes to relax, or occasionally come to talk things over and hold banquets. His family does not live here, so in addition to him as the owner, there are other servants or bodyguards in the entire villa.

"Why did you ask me to come here this time? You know I'm very busy at the end of the year." Yang Dongxu sat down in the living room and took a sip of the black tea brought by the servant.

That's right, he only came to Beverly Hills to meet Troy. He wasn't the one looking for Troy, but Troy called him after he knew he came to the United States. It happened that he came to Los Angeles for something, so the two of them made an appointment.

Meet here.

"You were talking about investing in Hollywood or investing in a sports team before." Toy said directly.

"Do you want to play too?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"With this plan, many industries have not been very prosperous in recent years. You and I both know that some money must be circulated to be safer, even if you lose a little occasionally. Of course, it would be better if you make money, in terms of investment

You are an expert, so I want to discuss it with you." Troy nodded.

Tuoy's words are not a compliment, Yang Dongxu's investment vision is proven by facts. For example, almost half of their family's overseas assets are currently invested with Yang Dongxu.

Although not all investments made here will be profitable, the losses are simply a drop in the bucket compared to the profits. Toy can prosper in the United States, and can even become the representative of Russia's alliance of financial giants overseas.

As a person, these investments are the source of his strong backbone.

"In Hollywood, it's okay to just invest in movies and be a financier, but it may be difficult to be a film company. If you have paid attention to Hollywood, you should understand the dilemma that Haina encountered at the beginning." Yang Dongxu said.

White supremacy is very obvious in Hollywood movies, and in addition to white supremacy, there is also a big difference between international and blood.

For example, the common roles of Russians in American movies are either brutal gangsters or social restless elements. In short, they are not good characters, and they all portray the violent and dark side.

However, compared to how black people are portrayed as stealing, being lazy, not enterprising, etc., their status in society seems to be inferior to that of a dwarf.

The status of the Russians in American society is quite good. One reason for this is that Russia is tough enough to fight against the United States even if the economy is not good. The other reason is naturally because of the various resources in their hands.

In short, even in the United States, Russians are the fathers that many Americans cannot afford to offend. You can bully black people, you can attack wealthy Arabs who don’t deal with Jews, or Asians. But Americans and Russians are rarely seen

Conflict head-on.

Even if something really happens, such as catching a spy or something, most of them are just verbal sparring in newspapers and TV stations, unlike facing people from other countries, which are either various diplomatic protests or various economic blockades.

If it really doesn't work, I'll assemble an army to fight you.

But when it comes to Russia, Americans don't dare to be so tough, because those threatening methods are very useful to other people, and they may actually fight you when dealing with Russians. Polar Bear has never been ambiguous about this.

"Then only the team is left." Troy rubbed his chin.

"The teams are indeed better, the policies are relatively loose and there is not that much resistance. In the United States, you can buy a basketball team or build a football team for fun. It's no problem.

There are more choices in football. Whether it is La Liga, Serie A or the Premier League, even if you go to the Bundesliga, as long as you show results, your influence can spread all over the world.

Then buy newspapers or TV stations that match the team, and the direction of public opinion can be relatively controlled. More importantly, it will not be so eye-catching, and the effect is quite good." Yang Dongxu said.

"It's indeed a good idea. I'm not very interested in the basketball team, but I can give the rugby and football teams a try. Do you have any good recommendations?"

"I haven't paid attention to the football team. You need to collect information on your own. For football teams, choose from the Premier League. Compared with La Liga or Serie A, or the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, the style of the Premier League team is more suitable for you. And in the United Kingdom and the United States,

Getting a certain degree of media autonomy here is more useful to you than getting it in La Liga or the Bundesliga."

"So the Premier League is indeed suitable. Do you have any specific teams to recommend?"

"Before I bought Barcelona, ​​I also considered Premier League teams, so I did some data collection. I will have someone send it to you later. The data collected is quite comprehensive, and the collection time is relatively close to now. A lot of information should be

It’s not out of date yet, you can use it as a reference.”

"That would be great." Troy nodded, and then said, "Are you still in touch with Uncle Andre?"

"We only met once and you were there at the time. Why didn't we contact you again after that?" Yang Dongxu asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I was talking to Uncle Andre before I came to Los Angeles, and he mentioned you. And his daughter Angelina seems to have a good impression of you."

"Toy, I'm married, you know this." Yang Dongxu leaned on the sofa and said.

"That actually has no binding force on people like us. In fact, you know this yourself." Troy shrugged.

"But I love my wife very much." Yang Dongxu looked serious.

"But you also love other women, don't you?" Troy said casually.

Yang Dongxu opened his mouth, and this really made him speechless. After a while, he said: "But we seem to have gone through a period of marriage to solve the problem. Choosing a woman seems to depend on whether you like it or not, and

It’s not about what kind of family background the other person has.”

"I agree with this." Troy nodded, "But I didn't tell you what to do, I just want to tell you that if you want to cooperate with these big guys from Russia overseas, Uncle Andre is a

A good choice. If you want to cooperate deeply with people in Russia, Natasha’s family is the first choice.”

"Why are you suddenly talking about these things?" Yang Dongxu asked in confusion.

"Have you not been very interested in oil and some minerals before? Uncle Andre has a lot of such resources in his hands. These things are more or less troublesome, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you.

On the contrary, because the business transaction does not involve so much politics, the trouble for you may be much less. Therefore, instead of going to Russia to test the Gut family, you might as well cooperate with Uncle Andrei.

"

"From what you said, it seems that Natasha's Gutyev family has something going on with you that I don't know about?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but become curious.

"It's not a secret. I won't tell you. You will know it soon. The Gutyev family has begun to fully support the new president.

The only reason why we came to the United States to seek refuge is more or less related to someone. Favors are favors, relationships are relationships. And interests are eternal, and you as a collaborator are worth fighting for."

"I feel that I am indeed a bit remarkable." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
