America's Road to Wealth

Today, the British Isles can be regarded as an overseas economic colony of the United States.

This is why the British Isles can still maintain a certain degree of influence and remain an international financial metropolis.

Within Lloyds Bank, there are a large number of shareholders from Wall Street.

But among these Wall Street shareholders, there is neither Smith Capital.

There is no Bush family, and there is no military-industrial complex.

What Craven was worried about at this time was whether Abel was the representative of the interests of the military-industrial complex in the thirteen continents of North America.

If only Abel wanted to buy a stake in Lloyds Bank.

Then even if Lloyds Bank does not refuse.

You can also just be a little bit interested and divide it into about 0.1% or 0.2% of the shares.

But just in case if Abel is a bush, or the interests of the military-industrial complex behind them appeal.

Then you can't just deal with it casually.

Something will happen.

Because I know the situation in the British Isles and the Financial City very well today.

Craven fell into infinite trouble under Abel's simple request.

After thinking about it carefully, Craven didn't dare to refuse explicitly, nor did he dare to agree directly.

The CEO of Lloyds Bank responded softly:

"Thank you very much for your optimism, Mr. Smith. Lloyds Bank is deeply honored. As for your request for investment, Lloyds Bank will consider it carefully and will give you a reply in one week, no, three days."

Abel smiled and nodded.

In fact, Abel didn't think as much as Craven thought.

Craven has to worry about Abel's posthumous identity and the American interest groups he may represent.

This is purely based on Kraven's own imagination.

Abel's purpose was simple.

Lloyds Bank is one of the largest financial groups in the UK and one of the most influential financial groups in Europe.

He felt that if he wanted to play finance in Europe and cut leeks happily.

If you are here, you have to have a foothold.

Banks such as Lloyds Bank and HSBC, Abel feels, are good footholds here.

It would be safer if you could buy some shares and become their shareholders.

It's just that the situation in Europe is much more complicated than that in the United States.

The United Kingdom, in particular, is often tough-talking when faced with interest demands from the United States, but it is always the fastest to kneel down.

Mainly because when facing the United States, Britain kneeled down without any psychological burden at all.

The conversation with Craven also ended because of the Lloyds Bank CEO's serious concerns and his serious self-inflicted thoughts.

Come to the UK this time.

Abel's advisory team had been studying it for a long time, and it wasn't like Abel just slapped his head and came over right away.

The advisory group has been studying for half a year, and actually believes that the UK at this time, except for finance and media, has

This country, or even most of Europe, no longer has much investment value for Abel.

The national strength of the British Isles has long since declined. Along with the country, the capital and enterprises here have declined.

What's more, as early as the Thatcher period, the interests of this country had long been divided up.

If Abel wants to enter. What he entered was not a blue ocean, but a red ocean that had been owned for a long time.

The owners of this Red Sea are, more importantly, not British.

The companies that Timmy Owen just introduced to Abu, Amo Alamuddin and others are all giants in various fields in the UK.

Behind each of them, there is a strong shadow of oil people or Wall Street capital.

To put it simply, these monopoly giant companies in the UK have more or less American capital in them.

British capital is, to put it bluntly, an incarnation of American capital.

To be precise, it should be American and British capital.

This situation is actually very similar to that of Hanguo and Neon, both of which are just overseas economic colonies of Wall Street.

In other words, Abel's entry into the British market is actually entry into an overseas market in the United States.

Except for the new energy track he is preparing to build.

No matter which field he enters in the UK, he is actually competing with the original leader of the track in the United States.

At most, it's just a different place to compete, and there's not much difference in other aspects.

The reason why media and finance are specifically singled out.

It's because the advisory group also feels that the boss is basically invincible in finance and can do whatever he wants.

As for the media, it was Abel who requested it.

Britain is not the United States, and it cannot provide votes for Abel.

Then there is no need for him to benefit ordinary people here.

Use finance to cut leeks to make money, and use the media to control public opinion mouthpieces. It is enough to meet these two points.

As for other industries, as long as they can grow bigger in the United States.

In the United States' overseas economic colonies, it is not too difficult to expand.

With reference to Abel's idea, his advisory group formulated a British or European plan for him.

Basically, the main focus is on finance and media.

In other aspects, it is either Abel's hobby or fun.

For example, investing in football and F1 are all Abel's hobbies and whims.

Or assisting certain areas of finance and media.

In other respects, if Abel is not interested, the advisory team will not outline too detailed plans for him.

Now according to the plan designed by the advisory group for Abel.

Abel's next step is to continue to acquire a large number of newspapers and TV stations in the UK and Europe.

Then they would invest here and even acquire banks and financial groups in Europe.

To achieve the purpose of financial influence and control of public opinion.

It is also worth mentioning that 1450 Information Consulting Company came with Abel.

This company has been here for a week and has already applied to establish 9 NGOs in Europe.

These organizations cover environmental protection, culture, youth exchanges, the Internet and other fields.

Things that Soros will do in the future and even do now.

Abel is more forward-looking and wants to cultivate his own European customer service guy!

And I want 1450 Network Information Company to be able to do it more smoothly here.

The channel through which one can speak out, that is, the media field, becomes very important.

Finance is the bone, the media is the flesh and blood, and the soul is the United States that can intimidate Europe, plus 1450 as an off-market means.

This is the core of Abel's Britain, or the European plan!

The cocktail party held tonight is mainly to serve this purpose.

In the midst of a war between cups and plates, David DeLanley Walker is back.

This means that all the guests invited to the cocktail party tonight are here.

David Delany Walker, as the master of ceremonies and half host, smiled and announced the official start of the reception.

With this Walker's David here, Abel's David and Abel, even little Laura, can breathe a little easier.

As the host of tonight's cocktail party, David Walker didn't come in.

At the reception, Abel only had a butler-like David Jones to help him.

Most of the guests came to see Abel and little Laura, both of whom were very busy.

Fortunately for little Laura, this aspect of education is included in her family education.

This is a must-have course for the matron of a large European and American family.

Even if she is not very familiar with it, she can get into the role very quickly, and her performance tonight was very good.

The Smith family is relatively red-necked, and Abel was previously trained to be a farmer.

In addition, his personality does not like this kind of excitement.

Although it's okay to deal with it, I'm really unhappy from the bottom of my heart.

It's just that in order to increase connections and expand influence, this kind of reception has to be held.

He just had to treat this as a job, a job that he had to deal with.

Now in comes David Delany Walker.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief and let the two Davids deal with the male guests.

Leave it to Mrs. David Walker and little Laura to deal with the female companions of the male guests.

Abel himself took advantage of the opportunity to escape through urine.

He ran to a small lounge on the second floor, sat on the sofa facing the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the reception below.

Even in his own manor, the Four King Kong still had enough manpower to lurk around Abel anytime and anywhere.

Like now, Edward came to Abel and whispered to him:

"BOSS, someone is here. They are guests at the reception."

Abel was not surprised that someone would come over.

He knew that he was the centerpiece of tonight's reception, and there were countless interested people staring at him.

If you want to completely avoid this kind of harassment, you have to hide yourself or the party is over.

Otherwise, you will only have a few moments of free time.

This is probably like when working, workers can touch fish by urinating.

But after the urine escape is over, it is still inevitable to continue working. You can only really stop going to get off work if you wait until you get off work or simply miss work and take leave.

"Who is it?" Abel asked.

Edward scratched his head. There were too many guests here tonight, and the bodyguard captain could only remember a few important ones.

The person who came was a minor character whom Edward had no memory of. How could the bodyguard captain know who it was.

"The name is Roman Abramovich."

Johnson next to Edward suddenly whispered:

"It seems that he is a businessman from Mao Xiongguo. He had a long chat with the lawyer you saw today, BOSS."

"Oh?" Abel was surprised, "Johnson, how did you know?"

Johnson's face was expressionless. This Black King Kong was a facial paralysis, which was in sharp contrast to Abel's other Black King Kong, who was talkative.

"BOSS, you know. I am a sniper. I am used to observing people from a distance. I am very sensitive to other people's sights and gazes."

Johnson, one of the Black King Kong, said, "This guy from the Bear Country has been staring at you. I asked someone about his identity."

"What a good habit." Abel smiled and praised him, "Keep up the good work! Let this guy from the Bear Country come in. I've heard of this guy."

Roman Abramovich, Abel is so familiar.

It’s not the American Abel Cook, it’s the time traveler Abel Cook.

Hearing that Roman Abramovich came to see him, Abel also wanted to meet this legendary oligarch of the Bear Country.

Edward got Abel's approval and went to let Abramovich in.

This allowed Abel to meet Abu, who is still young this year.

"Good evening, Mr. Smith." Abramovich's English at this time was still a bit tongue-in-cheek, feeling a bit like Mao's English.

Later, in order to remove his hair and enter Europe, he may have studied hard, and his English became more and more authentic.

So much so that when I spoke English in the media later, I could no longer hear the Mao-style accent.

It all has a bit of Cambridge flavour.

In order to remove her hair and enter Europe, Abramovich can be said to have really worked hard.

It's a pity that from beginning to end, even he is still a big capitalist.

But the mainstream society in the European and American world has never regarded him as one of their own.

This is not only true for Abramovich, but also for other oligarchs and wealthy businessmen in the Bear Country.

One of the two co-founders of Google, Sergey Brin, is already considered the best businessman born as a furry bear in the European and American world.

But this Sergey Brin, he comes from an Oilers family.

From this point of view, the mainstream society in Europe and the United States has never regarded Maozi as one of its own.

The wishful thinking of licking a dog will always only get the cold shoulder of the goddess.

"Good evening, Mr. Abramovich." Abel looked at Abram with interest, and he came in alone.

"What do you want from me, sir? It's so lively down there, why don't you go to join it? This cocktail party can help you make more friends, and it will be helpful for a businessman from the Bear Country like you in London."

Facing Abel's kind words and expression, Abramovich was surprised.

You need to know the top rich people in Europe or the United States.

When facing similar people in the Bear Country, I always feel a little superior.

Abramovich, who has spent most of his time in Europe in the past two years, knows this very well.

However, at this moment, Abramovich did not detect in Abel the condescending attitude of other European and American rich and powerful people.

This made Abramovich feel a little flattered.

"Oh, Mr. Smith." Abramovich said with a smile:

"Of course I will go down. Your drinking party is so lively, I like it very much. But I have two things to ask you."

Because of the dominance of the Chinese soul, plus the reason why I prefer football and Chelsea.

Abel doesn't have a good impression of Abu, but he doesn't have the habit of looking down on Maozi like Europeans and Americans of his class.

Abel smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"That's right." Abramovich didn't expect Abel to be so "approachable".

This oligarch, who has a high status within Maozi but is looked down upon in Europe, quickly said:

"I think F1 will be a good business in the future. I want to invest in an F1 team. I heard that Mr. Smith you have two teams."

"I want to buy one of your fleets. Well, I plan to buy your Tesla fleet for $200 million. What do you think?"

Abel looked at Abu with interest.

Abel felt that Abramovich at this moment looked very much like his friend in the desert.

That desert stock god Prince Walid.

At that time, Prince Walid sold his shares in Abel News Group and also sold Abel Yachts.

Just like Abramovich now.

When you say you are selling or buying, you are actually giving away money.

In order to avoid being cut off, rich people in many countries meet top people in Europe and the United States, mainly the United States.

The approach is similar to these two.

"The Tesla fleet is not worth 200 million US dollars." Abel smiled softly. Seeing that Abramovich was about to speak, he stopped him:

"Mr. Abramovich, I know what you want to do. You want to invest in F1, and I support it. But the Tesla team is just not worth the price."

"10 million US dollars. In addition to the liabilities of the Tesla team, there is another condition. As long as you agree, then I can sell the Tesla team to you."

Just like Walid, Abel didn't like this little advantage.

Abramovich did not expect that today would go so smoothly.

I was also surprised that Abel didn't take advantage of this.

Maozi's oligarch quickly said: "What conditions? If possible, I will agree. I want an F1 team so much. Like you, Mr. Smith, I like football and racing."

"I don't like football and racing." Abel immediately said deliberately.

"Uh" Abramovich felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Abel laughed, "Just kidding. I still like football. I don't like racing that much. Buying F1 is an investment, buying a team is to please my girlfriend."

Abramovich knew that Abel’s girlfriend was little Laura.

He also knows the identity of little Laura.

If only I could use the F1 car to get involved with the Bush family

This made Abramovich even more determined to invest in F1.

"Please tell me the conditions. Mr. Smith, I want to buy the Tesla fleet." Abramovich said firmly.

"The condition is that the name of the Tesla team cannot be changed. If you don't want it anymore, the team will be sold back to me at the price I sold it to you."

Abel said: "This is the condition, if you are still willing. Send someone to my people to sign the contract tomorrow."

Bring Abramovich, who has strong financial resources and does not regard money as money, into F1.

Abel feels that this will be beneficial to revitalizing F1, stimulating other teams, and attracting audiences and ratings.

Abel himself initially purchased the F1 team mainly to give little Laura a gift.

Later, I bought two at a time, mainly because the wealthy people had a temper attack, and these two teams were also very cheap at the time.

It’s no longer half-sale and half-free. If you don’t look at the debt, it’s close to giving everything away.

Now the purpose of giving gifts has been achieved.

It is impossible for little Laura to manage two teams by herself.

Sell ​​one of them to Abramovich and continue to name Tesla.

Abel felt that the deal was worthwhile.

In addition, in this way, Abel thinks that he can also tone down his color in F1.

Otherwise, as the real behind-the-scenes boss of F1, I have established two more teams, so it would be a bad idea to speak out.

Even if Abramovich doesn't come to the door.

After winning F1.

Abel didn't even think about selling the two teams in name only.

For example, sell one of them to Ikana or her father.

Abel will pay for the follow-up maintenance of the team himself, and he will receive the benefits himself.

But the title allows Ted Lerner to be the boss, and I believe Ikana or her father will be very happy.

You don't have to do anything, just put your name on it and you can be the boss of an F1 team.

Such a good thing, given Ikana's father's character, will definitely jump three feet high.

Now that Abramovich is here, Abel simply sells his Tesla fleet to him.

Later sell the MGM team to Laura Jr., or someone else.

For example, the operation mode of the Li sisters is the same as mentioned above.

Just let little Laura live the addiction of a team manager.

Little Laura probably doesn't care whether the team belongs to her or not. What she wants is the sense of accomplishment of participating in and running the team.

Abu quickly agreed to Abel's conditions.

After all, Abramovich wants to play F1, and his purpose is not for profits or the team itself.

"What about the other thing? You just said two things." Abel asked with a smile.

Abramovich smiled and said: "The other thing is that I heard that you bought a Premier League team. I also like football, and I also want to buy a Premier League team. I wonder if Mr. Smith can give it to me?" May I have a suggestion?"

"Go and buy Chelsea." Abel said with a smile without even thinking about it:

"I think Chelsea should be yours if you hit it."

Abramovich wondered, does Chelsea have anything to do with Smith?

Otherwise, you would just give this suggestion without even thinking about it?

He didn't know it was Abel's bad taste.

But on the surface, Abramovich naturally smiled quickly:

"Got it, very good advice. Thank you very much, Mr. Smith."

Abramovich has decided that he will win Chelsea even if there is some blood.

"Okay." Having met Abel in person, Abel's feelings disappeared.

Abel stood up and said, "I wish you a good time. Mr. Abramovich, I'm going down to continue entertaining the guests."

Abramovich responded quickly.
