Chapter 2103

When the whole auction came to an end, the absolute focus of attention was undoubtedly lanli, which robbed all the guests of their elegant demeanor; And then came mystery guest 43.

Although he did not show up, his 1.5 million pound hand was still eye-catching; In the final auction of guitars and music scores, guest 43 also offered 950000 pounds. If it wasn't for Dave's last-minute refusal, guest 43 would have won the auction directly. Of course, he also has such ability. It's only because of the kindness auction that there's no need to steal all the limelight, so he didn't continue to increase the price, Otherwise, if he continues to offer, he will keep his guitar and music in his pocket. With the financial resources he has shown, naturally there will be no problem.

Just a trace is enough to make people full of innumerable speculation about guest 43, especially the mysterious veil hidden behind the scenes.

More or less, people are curious about the true identity of guest 43. Although the aristocracy always looked down on the rising power of the rich, they always felt that they were upstarts; But everything has a degree——

If the value of wealth reaches a high enough level, surpassing the cognitive level of ordinary people, such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, the wealth of a rich country is enough to make them have enough status. At this time, whether they have a long history is no longer important, but to win a place in the upper class in another way.

Fame and fortune market, fame is also beneficial, the two are indispensable, if there is only one of them, either rely on a single strength in high position, or just strive for the top of the crowd - compared with ordinary people, just go a little further.

Now, the exhibition of No. 43 guest shows the tip of the iceberg, which naturally makes people wonder whether it is a rising star who, like Dave, spends a lot of money to make a fat face; Or is it true that the emerging billionaires who have a deep foundation can gain a firm foothold with their wealth?

If it's Roman Abramovich, then everything makes sense.

Russia's number one and the world's 15th richest man, who started his business by relying on oil and non-ferrous metals, has further expanded his business field in the direction of real estate, aviation and so on, creating a business empire of his own. One of his important moves from Siberia to the world is, In 2003, he bought Chelsea, a Premier League team in financial difficulties. At that time, he was only 37 years old.

After the acquisition of Chelsea, Roman began to spend more than 400 million pounds in just four years, completely dominating the transfer market of the Premier League, making Chelsea grow from a quasi strong team to a top club, truly breaking the fixed situation that Manchester United and Arsenal dominate the Premier League.

Of course, Roman is a Russian, he is an outsider; Roman was very young. He had built a huge business empire in his early 30s; Roman is very cunning. He has been involved in many disputes in the gray areas in his hometown. Going to Britain is also considered as a move to transfer assets... The most important thing is that Roman lost his mother at the age of one and his father at the age of three. As an orphan, he grew up in a slum under the protection of his uncle. Everything makes him stand in the opposite of the "old aristocracy", He became the representative of "new rich man", which means upstart.

This also made Roman stay away from the real upper class in the years before he arrived in England; However, with the development of time, Roman still relies on Chelsea as a platform to successfully open up the situation - in England, no one can refuse football.

Now, the upper class, including members of Parliament, the president, the prime minister, the nobility and so on, have opened the door for Roman. Although there are still countless people who dislike him, the confrontation between "the new rich and the old nobility" will never be heard, but it is undeniable that he has successfully established his foothold.

Rumor has it that Roman and Prince Charles are also close friends.

The times have changed irresistibly after all.

The legend of Roman can't be explained completely in a few words, even more legendary than Langley; But Roman's presence at the Carrick club is worth discussing in itself.

If Roman is the mysterious No. 43 guest, then everything can be satisfactorily explained. 1.5 million pounds is just a drop in the bucket for Roman.

But if Roman wasn't guest 43, it would be interesting - who was the real guest 43? Why did Roman show up at the reception? Did Roman send someone to attend the auction? Why is there no movement at all? He's here for Alexander? Or is there another purpose?

And so on.

When Roman appeared, subtle changes took place in the focus of the audience. In addition to lanli, Roman became the absolute focus, and even surpassed lanli, making the rest of the audience's eyes project into the past quietly, wondering what's going on now.

However, Roman was much more low-key than expected. He stood at the edge of the corner of the banquet hall, holding whisky and politely nodding to the guests nearby, instead of rushing around like butterflies to attract all the attention, which is slightly different from the image in the rumor.

It is said that Roman's hands are not only stained with the smell of copper, but also with blood. He has never been soft hearted in his iron fists and insidious means. Apart from his way of making a fortune, he can feel the coldness in his bones just from the players' business and the coach's turnover within the Chelsea team. Up and down, inside and outside, he is full of the ruthlessness and straightness of killing, Everything is based on interests and everything else is on the side.

To be sure, when Langley and Matthew bid farewell to the Beckhams and turned to walk towards Roman, the whole audience couldn't help but get excited - because they were so excited that the whispering voices disappeared, leaving only a buzzing sound. They couldn't help gazing at the collision of the two mountains. On one side were representatives of the new aristocracy, One side is the benchmark of the young rich. What sparks will such a collision produce?

"Good afternoon, Mr. Abramovich." Lan Li took the initiative to say hello. He was not nervous in his imagination - what could be more shocking than two generations? After I have experienced the most incredible things, other things will become more and more indifferent; In addition, the face-to-face experience of Barry Mayer, Bob Aigner and Harvey Weinstein, the top tycoons in the industry, also let lanli understand that the tycoons also have their own style. They are also ordinary people. As for Roman, he just has more wealth.

Roman has a round baby face, always with a bright smile, clear eyes shining with simple and honest light, even with a beard, still can't hide the childishness of facial features and face, the contradiction formed by the first impression and hearsay impression, often easy to bring more confusion, which also makes meeting interesting.

Roman held out his right hand. "Good afternoon, Mr. Langley." His palms were thick and warm. He showed great tolerance when he didn't have any strength. The baby like smile bloomed and showed his neat teeth. "Ha, your palms are not ice. I found out."

Lanli was a little stunned. It took half a beat to react. Roman said that the "gravity" crew spread the joke: lanli is actually a vampire.

After reaction, blue Li also sincerely chuckled, "my feelings are the same, your palm is warm, it seems that we can't believe rumors."

There are numerous rumors about Roman, but it is certain that most people believe that Roman is a cruel and cold-blooded animal with a hard heart. No matter when he got rich or his Russian background, all of them are covered with a mysterious veil, which makes people curious.

Roman frowned and said apologetically, "sorry to disappoint you."

This made Lan Li smile more and more brightly. "Sorry, I let everyone down, especially those fans who firmly believe in the mysterious archives. So, I think we all keep a little secret so that the rumors can continue to spread. What do you think?"

"I have no problem." Roman showed a shallow smile, trim beard seems to hide a shallow dimple, revealing a trace of shyness, it is hard to believe that this is the cold-blooded and merciless boss of Chelsea, who controls the life and death of countless people.

Lanli and romance let go of each other's hands, and then lanli took the initiative to introduce, "this is my friend, Matthew, who is a lawyer. Please forgive me for my impoliteness. I have to invite my friend to be the black knight and accompany me to visit you

This subtext is really... Is it suggesting that Roman kills people without blinking an eye? So you have to be accompanied by a lawyer!

But Roman didn't mind. Instead, he raised his eyebrows. "You know, the only thing I don't want to offend and the only thing I want to believe unconditionally in this world is a lawyer. I think I can understand your idea. Does this prove that we are on the same stand?"

The answer is also meaningful.

Although Roman's English still has a little accent, he has fully understood the essence of English black humor, and his conversation is full of pleasure. This is really a very interesting thing. From the side, we can see that Roman has made countless efforts to gain a foothold in the British upper class.

This also proves one thing again: hearsay, credible content is really too little; Even a lot of times, "hearing is false, seeing is true" is full of lies. Only when you really experience it with your heart, can you make a judgment. This is another side effect behind the information ocean in the Internet age.

Langley thinks that Roman should be an interesting person to talk to.
