The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era
Chapter 1147: Auction
There was not only Toy in the manor, but also Andre and Abramovich whom Yang Dongxu had met before. It is not surprising that Abramovich Yang Dongxu in the UK.
After all, this North Russian tycoon just bought Chelsea last year, and his gesture of waving a lot of money caused quite a stir in the Premier League and even the UK.
What surprised him was that Rybonovlev was also there, compared to Andrei and Toy, the former financial oligarchs who had broken ties with North Russia. Rybonov is currently the hottest fertilizer king in Northern Russia.
It is said that he has a very good relationship with the great emperor above. This is different from Abramovich. Abramovich belongs to me. I don't bird you, and I don't make trouble for you. I do business and you govern the country, we feel like we don't violate the river water.
So it is completely understandable that he has a good relationship with Andre and Toy, who are powerful in the UK, but Rybonov is a bit taboo.
The financial giants who immigrated from Northern Russia have a characteristic, that is, they have no deep taboos about Northern Russia. Especially after the emperor's means of ascending to power became stronger and stronger.
They may still miss their hometown, but none of them dare to go back. Otherwise, Troy wouldn't have gone back to hold his uncle's funeral, and he didn't want to cause trouble, but he was still worried.
This is just the opposite of the rich Chinese immigrants. The domestic rich immigrants may feel a little bit as guilty as the North Russian giants, so they just need to leave. However, the rich Chinese can still make money in the country after immigrating, so relatively speaking, the country is quite tolerant of these people.
"Congratulations to your team for a big victory." Abramovich said with a smile after giving Yang Dongxu a hug.
Several people speak Russian, so there is no barrier to communication. There is also an inexplicable sense of closeness, perhaps because both Toy and Yang Dongxu are foreigners to London.
"Your team is also good. After this season's integration, the next one will definitely be the favorite of the Champions League." Yang Dongxu also responded with a smile.
In fact, the two feel a little like each other. Because whether it is Barcelona or Chelsea, they were all giants before. But it hasn't fallen in recent years.
After the acquisition of these two teams, in order to make the team rise, the two chose the same method-spending money.
Not only was it throwing money, but it was also bluntly turning a declining team into a wealthy one.
Barcelona has been smashed into a wealthy family by Yang Dongxu, and it is very likely to win three consecutive championships this season. And Chelsea is surrounded by money and is on the road to becoming a wealthy team. At most, by next season, he must be one of the wealthy teams.
However, compared with the complicated situation behind Barcelona, Abramovich's Chelsea is undoubtedly much more free. Otherwise, he wouldn't be having such a good time, and the head coach would be fired immediately after playing a game in a bad mood. The star of the team let whoever he wanted to get out.
As for the team's results, it was indeed what Abramovich wanted. But the premise is that he must be in a good mood first, as for the fans.
Buying a team to play and make money is naturally something that can make him happy, but he doesn't mind losing money. If you regard Chelsea as a big toy, maybe you can better understand Abramovich's attitude towards this team.
Although the big toy is very expensive and fun, but he can only control the big toy, put it in the eighteenth class according to his mood, the big toy can never control him.
"I heard that those people in the UAE also want to buy a team for fun, so I want to buy one." Andre, the oldest, said with a smile like a big brother.
"Not only the United Arab Emirates, but many wealthy businessmen are also inexplicably interested in the team." It was Rybonov who spoke.
After Troy's brief introduction just now, the purpose of Rybonov's visit to London this time is to participate in the auction. At least on the surface, if there are other deep meanings, it is beyond Yang Dongxu's knowledge.
"If you can run a good team, it is indeed a very good investment." Several people sat down on the sofa, smoking cigars and drinking red wine.
Football can shine and develop rapidly in the next few years, and the skyrocketing value of players is much more exaggerated than the NBA. In fact, a large part of the reason is that in addition to the more convenient communication channels than before, it is also due to local tyrants in the Middle East and some wealthy businessmen who invest in the team.
It is precisely because of the addition of these big capitals that football has developed rapidly. The business chain is getting wider and more profitable, so more people are attracted to join in, forming a phenomenon of sudden expansion in a short period of time.
Of course, except for Abramovich and some wayward local tyrants in the Middle East, making money is the root of these funds pouring into the football industry.
For example, Barcelona, even if it does not seem to be as free as Chelsea. Sometimes there is a lot of trouble, but since last year this team has begun to show terrible money-absorbing ability.
In fact, Real Madrid's routine has always been correct, gathering a large number of stars to attract enough attention. It seems that the financial pressure has been maintained at the deficit level and may collapse at any time, but it is also more profitable to spend money quickly.
It's just that after one or two losses, I still haven't summed up the experience of how to make the locker room, stars and clubs live in peace. So I always end up playing Beng, but playing Benggui and Benggui really made a lot of money.
In fact, it's not just Real Madrid, Barcelona now sometimes has headaches for Yang Dongxu. Because even if he has the foresight, there is no way to keep the team's locker room, the club and the stars in a honeymoon period.
Now Barcelona is only so harmonious, one is because they haven't won enough honors, these stars are still struggling to move forward without drifting.
The other one is related to the composition of the team's superstars. Zidane will retire in two years. The contract signed with Barcelona is a lifetime contract, so there will be no problems with the renewal.
Da Luo Alien has just recovered from a serious illness and is still looking for status, so the team has been training hard and is also very active on the field. Is a very good lead big brother.
Needless to say, Ronaldinho has two other World Footballer of the Year jewels in front of him, and he has just won a Footballer of the Year honor. Still full of enthusiasm.
Xiaohutou is desperately chasing the superstar in front of him, so almost all of everyone's demands are to win and make himself better. The team is naturally extremely harmonious, not to mention that Yang Dongxu is also very generous in his shots, almost giving them a maximum salary.
However, this kind of harmony will obviously not be maintained forever, such as Ronaldinho's self-discipline after getting enough honors. This obviously challenges the bottom line of the coach and the club.
Another example is the distribution of the team's ball rights after the little tiger grows up. No star will be willing to play a supporting role for others when he is outstanding. This is the main reason why Real Madrid often crashes.
And Ronaldo must be the number one star in the team when he regains his form, so the current glory of Barcelona may last for two or three years. How long it will take, no one can tell. It's really hard to say whether it will collapse directly after sweeping a wave like Real Madrid.
After the chat, they had dinner together. Before leaving, Rybonov was going to exchange contact information with Yang Dongxu, which surprised him.
"He was interested in some of your investments in Northern Russia, so this time he took the initiative to come over when he heard that I was going to invite you." Toy explained.
Thinking of the rumors about the relationship between Rybonov and some great emperor, Yang Dongxu nodded thoughtfully. It is indeed a taboo to get too close to an oligarch like Toy who used to squeeze the socialist wool, and now takes the money he took away from Northern Russia and is abroad. But what if the higher authorities know about this and allow it?
"Don't get too close to Andre, he has relations with some gangs." Toy reminded again, obviously between Yang Dongxu and Andre. Even though Andre is cooperating with him more now, he is still towards Yang Dongxu.
"I understand, I'm not interested in those businesses." Yang Dongxu said to Troy with a smile.
I still can't make enough money in the righteous way, so naturally I didn't want to follow Andre to follow those crooked ways. What's more, a person of Chinese nationality played black games abroad, and his partner was a big boss. Thinking about it, I know that the final ending will not be too good.
"The auction will start tomorrow. If you are free, you can go and see it together. David's Auction House is famous for its collection of high-quality porcelain, and you may like it."
When they entered the door, the two of them were talking about the auction house, but after entering the room, they chattered and didn't say a word.
"Then let's go and see together tomorrow." Yang Dongxu nodded.
In fact, Yang Dongxu, who buys some porcelain and national treasures at international auctions, has never been too cold. It's not that he has too many fine collections and doesn't like these things, or he's tired of them.
It's just that the behavior of some local tyrants in the country is incomprehensible, and I don't know if they really like those porcelains and famous paintings too much. Or the desire to bring the national treasure back home is too urgent, or simply feel that I am awesome, I just have money.
In the past two years, the prices of Huaxia's antiques at international auctions have repeatedly hit new highs, and they have made it clear that they want to kill you. Some people kept stretching their necks to be chopped off, as if they couldn't show that they were different.
Of course, the people from Bangziguo and Dongying didn't say that the goods were very good, and they made a fuss inside if they didn't buy them. I can't wait to give these people two punches and tell them to go away.
"Just raise the sign if you see something, and I'll give it to you." Toy said with a smile.
"Okay, don't be sore when the time comes." Yang Dongxu smiled and gave Troy a hug.
Then Troy said goodnight.
Now that he has come to Toy Manor, it is obviously impossible for him to go back to live in the hotel. So I will live in the manor tonight, or I will probably live here for the rest of my stay in England.
Not long after Toy left, the butler of the manor brought a list of the auction house's ranking tomorrow.
Obviously, the list has been screened and listed are all Chinese antiques living overseas. Among them, there are mainly porcelain, there are also many calligraphy and paintings, and there are also some bronzes.
After developing these lists casually, Wang Sheng knocked on the door and walked in.
"Miss Daier invited you to participate in David's auction tomorrow night, and said that she would send a car to pick you up at the hotel."
"It seems that the scale of this auction is not small, so many people have been invited." Yang Dongxu said with a smile: "Reply to her, saying that I have already agreed with my friends to participate together, and she does not need to pick up the auction. I'll treat her to dinner when it's over."
