Rebirth of the Super Landlord

"Su, why did Mr. Abramovich choose to come to the UK instead of the United States?" Kate asked Su Zhen in the car after leaving the restaurant.

"Why do you ask?" Su Zhen asked with a smile.

"Because when I was talking to Mrs. Irina, I heard that both she and Victoria were very yearning for Hollywood, but Victoria couldn't go to the United States because David's career was in Europe. I understand, but Mr. Abramovich

You are already the world's top rich man, why would you rather come to the UK than go to the United States? Moreover, it seems that the Russian rich seem to like to go to the UK. Is this famous?" Kate wondered, if it was a few decades ago, there would be someone who yearned for the UK.

It was normal back then, but times have changed, and the United States is now the center of the world.

"Haha, this involves the national conditions of these three countries." Su Zhen said with a smile. He knew a little bit about the secrets involved. "Most of the assets of these rich Russians came from the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the establishment of Russia by Yeltsin."

During the federation, Yeltsin's government was financially tight and could not concentrate on operating state-owned industries due to constant political battles. Therefore, Yeltsin and these rich people reached a privatization method called "loans for shares" to transfer state-owned assets to actual

Prices worth three levels are exchanged for political donations from the rich, thereby creating a large number of oligarchs."

"The price of the third floor?" Kate was dumbfounded, what kind of concept is this? In other words, for every three yuan paid, seven yuan is earned, which is more than twice the profit. This is almost like robbing money.

"That's right, and most of these assets are oil and various non-ferrous metals. Due to the rapid economic development in recent years, the global demand for these resources has increased significantly. It can be said that the prices of these assets have skyrocketed in recent years, so they can make a lot of money.

Far more than the seven floors." Su Zhen nodded and continued, "But this money is not that easy to get. Although Yeltsin promised to guarantee the personal and property safety of these oligarchs when he made this agreement, these incomes are not legally

It is illegal after all, so it was different when the current President Putin came to power in 2000. The famous seven oligarchs created during the Yeltsin era were taken down by Putin one by one and sent to prison. Now only Huo Huo is left.

Dorvsky is still active, but according to recent events, this poor guy has been controlled by the Russian government. However, due to Russia's national conditions, while Putin punished a group of oligarchs, he also created a group of new ones.

of oligarchs. And Abramovich is one of them, but the fate of the previous oligarchs has served as a warning to Abu and others. If it were you, would you continue to stay in Russia?"

"Of course not, but what does this have to do with people like them coming to the UK? If it is political asylum, wouldn't other European countries be able to do it? After all, the United States is better than the UK, right?" Although Su Zhen said so much, Kate still

I don't understand what's the connection here.

"There are many reasons for this. First of all, the increasing number of Russian immigrants in the UK has provided a good language, ethnic and social environment for the survival and development of Russian exiles in the UK. There are currently at least 300,000 Russians living in the UK.

Secondly, the British legal system has played a very good role in protecting Russia's exiled financial oligarchs. There are not so many wealthy Russian businessmen in other parts of the world as in the UK. British property law is the basis for citing many domestic legal provisions. Many Russian businessmen earn money

Some of them had unknown origins. In order to protect these properties, they transferred their properties to the UK, hoping to legalize the wealth they had previously acquired.

Finally, there is the British government's support and shelter for Russian exile forces. The British government, parliament and media often criticize Russia. The United Kingdom regards Russian exiles as a trump card to curb Russia's development and interfere in Russia's internal affairs, and spares no effort to support these forces.

, use this as a diplomatic bargaining chip in the negotiation and dialogue with Russia to increase strategic initiative and room for maneuver." Su Zhen explained to Kate. Kate nodded in understanding, she was just a small actor, these political things

It's a little too far away for her.

"Actually, there are quite a few people who go to invest in the United States, but most of them are gathered in New York, and they are not as high-profile as Abramovich." Su Zhen reached out and stroked Kate's hair and said with a smile.

"I really don't know what you men are thinking about all day long. There are so many twists and turns." Kate wrinkled her lovely nose. This cold-faced goddess on the big screen showed a rare little smile in front of Su Zhen.

Daughter pose.

Seeing this, Su Zhen kissed Kate on the forehead and held her in his arms. He looked through the car window and looked out at the street scene of London. Tottenham and Arsenal. London will definitely be very beautiful in the future.

Lively. And on the other side...

"Dear, what did you and that Su talk about?" Irina asked as she helped Abu take off his tie and jacket.

"We talked about everything, from football to real estate, to oil, arms, and international affairs. We even talked about Vladimir (Putin). I don't know why this young man seems to be very interested in Vladimir." Abramovich was a little puzzled.

said.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have something in common," Irina shrugged. "But I heard that this young man is very romantic. It is said that he is dating four or five female celebrities at the same time, and Kate is just one of them.

, don’t imitate him."

"How come, after all these years, you still don't know me?" Abu said, smiling and hugging his wife.

Irina smiled, but she didn't feel reassured. As Abu's bedfellow who had shared the joys and sorrows with him for 12 years, and Abu's most capable assistant, she knew all too well about her husband's innate love for the new and dislike of the old.

, as Abu's net worth is getting richer and richer, she is becoming more and more insecure. Even though they have five children, maybe she should leave a way out for herself just in case.

Abu didn't know what his wife was thinking, but the beautiful Kate Beckinsale and Victoria he saw today made him obsessed with them, and he couldn't help but touch his wife with great interest.

"Don't make trouble, don't wake up the children," Irina said coquettishly, but she was blocked by Abu soon after.

Similarly, Victoria and her husband were discussing tonight's meeting.

"Victoria, do you think we are rich people?" Beckham looked at the night scene outside the house and asked Victoria, who was still preparing for tomorrow's christening ceremony.

Victoria was stunned, put down what she was doing, walked to Beckham's side and asked strangely, "David, what's wrong? Why do you ask? Of course we are rich people, look. Our new home in London is now

Got it, you know how much some people will envy us."

"But do you know? Today Su made a bet with the Russian about the outcome of a warm-up match between us and Chelsea starting next season. Do you know what the bet is?" Beckham asked his wife with a wry smile.

.

"What?" Victoria asked doubtfully.

"Su's bet was a Marquis Manor in the West End that existed under the Stuart dynasty, and the Russian's bet was a castle in Bavaria. Neither of these two places can be bought even if we lose all our money."

place, but in their seriousness it is just a small fortune. Do you think we are still rich people now?" Beckham asked with a wry smile and shook his head. At that moment, he, who was once known as the pride of England, felt

He was deeply hurt, and he also understood that football superstars and darlings in the football world were nothing more than clouds. To be honest, he was just a pawn in the eyes of top rich men like Su Zhen. This realization made him

There is a deep sense of frustration.

Victoria now finally understood why her husband had been so lifeless since he came back from the restaurant, and she couldn't help but shake her head. She understood that this was just the pride of an Englishman in Beckham's heart, the sun never sets on the empire.

"Dear, it's a good thing to know the difference between ourselves and others. But we can't belittle ourselves. Look at them." Victoria pointed to the two bodyguards standing guard downstairs and said, "Do you think they are rich? Do you know?

, they also belong to the high-income group in the entire UK. For people at the lower level, they are rich people, but in our eyes, they are not just chess pieces."

Beckham looked at his wife in confusion, not knowing what she wanted to express.

"David. Everyone has their own value and meaning of existence. It is meaningless to compare with others. Even Her Majesty the Queen, if you compare just property, it will not be as good as the two we saw today.

Individuals, but these two people must bow respectfully when they see Her Majesty the Queen. In this world, money does not mean everything. Anyone who reaches the extreme on a path will be a respected existence. And you exist.

"One hundred million is on the green field. As long as you can do your best on the green field, you will still be the pride of England," Victoria comforted her husband.

"But what about after retirement? I know nothing except playing football. I am nothing without football," Beckham said.

"Who said that? You can become a Hollywood star. Unlike other players, you have the temperament to become an acting star, you have the psychological quality to withstand rumors, and you have countless fans. Do you know that your fans are bigger than Leonardo's?

More is more, you don't need to start from an unknown person, and you don't need to create scandals to increase your popularity. Just think about how many directors you have rejected and you will know how popular you are with those directors."

Victoria said.

Beckham couldn't help but scratch his head with a wry smile, and his wife began to tell him about Hollywood things again.

Victoria also realized that she seemed to have gone astray. She paused and said: "If it doesn't work out, you can still go into politics. With your reputation in the UK, I believe that any government will welcome you to join Downing Street. And if you have

If you can become prime minister one day, any rich man who sees you will have to treat you with courtesy, right?"

"Go into politics?" Beckham was stunned. He had never thought about this, but when his wife said it, it seemed like a good idea.

"But why didn't you mention doing business at all?" Beckham asked his wife in confusion.

When Victoria heard this, she couldn't help but cover her forehead. Her husband seemed to have been greatly stimulated by the two super rich men Su Zhen and Abu today, but to be honest, she extremely doubted her husband's financial IQ.

When Beckham saw his wife's expression, he understood the meaning and couldn't help but smile bitterly again. Indeed, before he met Victoria, although he had a high income, his personal financial situation could be said to be a mess. Knowing that he knew Victoria

Things started to improve after she took over her finances. Over the years, Victoria has been controlling the investment of her family's property. With Victoria's keen sense of smell in the fashion industry, she founded her own fashion brand and took over the business for Beckham.

Beckham has landed a lot of commercially valuable endorsement contracts, and now he has a considerable net worth. Otherwise, Beckham would probably be like his teammates, spending too much and losing all his savings.

However, Victoria didn't want to just destroy her husband's confidence, so she tried to comfort her. However, what she was thinking more about was how to use Su Zhen's power to continuously increase her husband's commercial value, and eventually bring Beckham to the throne.

Go to Hollywood.
