America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 306 The Vision of the Smith League
There is a time difference of nearly eight hours between France and Hanoi.

So it's around ten o'clock in the morning in Paris.

On the Han country side, it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

In this way, after understanding the situation.

When Li Yuxin called Han Guo back.

Almost there, right around dinner time.

The actual situation was when Li Fuzhen answered the phone.

Her father, mother, and elder brother were all by her side to eat dinner with her.

The members of the Li family came here on purpose, and Li Zaixi acquiesced even in Li Yuxin's trip to France.

Under Li Zaixi's strong request.

After Li Fuzhen hesitated for a while, she turned on the speakerphone on her mobile phone.

In this way, in the restaurant of a small villa in Gangnam District, Seoul, Han Country.

Han Guo's economic leader and his family all heard a call from the youngest daughter of the Li family from Europe.

"...The model is the same as that of most family offices. I have read the contracts, and the lawyer Ernie asked me to bring has also read these contracts and thinks that the contracts are very common and are normal family office contracts."

Li Yuxin said on the phone:

"The main thing worth mentioning is the treatment of members of this family office. O'Neill, our father, after we became adults, only gave us 300 US dollars a month for living expenses! But according to this standard, it is 500 US dollars a year for minors. [-] US dollars, [-] million US dollars a year after adulthood!"

Li Yuxin's previous words made Li Zaixi, who was listening next to him, darken.

Is one hundred thousand dollars little?
One hundred thousand dollars a month, 99.9999999% of Han people do not have this income!
But Lee Jae-seo heard that minors get $300 million a year and adults get $500 million a year.

Even Li Zaixi was a little speechless when he heard it. With such a high cost of living, is this raising a gold baby?
Li Fuzhen's voice sounded, she was replying to Li Yuxin,

"What about the other terms? Only living expenses?"

"Oh, there are many other clauses. I only remember a few, but they all look powerful anyway."

"Like Security, the Smith family has its own security company called Rock Security. Anyone who is a member of the family can be protected by this company."

"There are also residences. The Smith family office will buy properties in the top [-] cities in the world. As long as you are a member of the Smith family, you can live in these properties, whether you are staying or traveling."

"There are many other clauses, some of which look too professional. I can't even understand them. But our lawyer said that this clause may not even be as rich as Rockefeller."

"Sister, although that person is a bastard, but I have to say, in terms of material things, he is more than a hundred times stronger than our father!"

Li Yuxin didn't know that her father, mother and elder brother were all listening beside her sister.

She thought it was just a real conversation between herself and her sister Li Fu.

Therefore, Miss Car Lamp, who has been spoiled since she was a child, speaks more recklessly.

Li Fu looked at the dark face of his father next to him with a funny face.

"Okay. Then let me ask you, Yuxin, do you think I should sign, or not?"

Li Yuxin fell silent.

She seemed to be confirming something with the person next to her, and she was talking in a low voice, speaking in Korean.

It should be to discuss the contract with the lawyer sent by the Li family.

After about ten seconds, Li Yuxin's voice sounded again.

"Ernie. I asked the lawyer."

Li Yuxin said softly:
"The lawyer said that although you and your children will enjoy many benefits after signing the contract. But in this regard, you and your children are equivalent to being tied to that bastard. You will no longer have freedom, nor will you There will be love again."

"Is that all?" Li Fu really responded like this.

Li Yuxin was silent again, this time the silence was very short.

"Yes, that's all." Li Yuxin said.

"Then bring the contract back." Li Fuzhen said softly, "Please, Yuxin."

Li Yuxin was silent again, and another few seconds passed.

"Okay." Li Yuxin said.

"That's it for now. I'm sorry, Yuxin. Father and the others are here, let's talk here first."

"Ok."

The call was hung up on Li Yuxin's side.

Li Fuzhen looked up at the relatives around her.

The young lady and princess of the Li family showed a charming and mature smile on her face:
"I have already satisfied you, my dear father, mother, and brother."

"After listening to it now. What do you think?"

"It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!" Li Zaixi said in a low voice, "That American. Did he think he was an ancient emperor? The 72nd concubine of Sangong Sixth Court? It's already the 21st century. He is an American, isn't he? emperor!"

Li Fuzhen's mother also thought it was ridiculous.

The key is that the people who do this kind of thing are from the East Asian cultural circle.

This is how it was in ancient times.

But the person who did this was a pure American.

The Li family felt weird.

But Li Fu was really satisfied.

The eldest lady touched her belly, even though it wasn't bulging yet.

But she feels that she already loves it very much.

Because of its existence, it has brought earth-shaking changes to her.

It brought her great status and influence in Han country.

She only hated herself for not meeting Abel earlier, wasting several years of time!
Fortunately, being someone else's wife seems to have added to her charm.

That stinky guy always likes to be around that kind of thing.

let yourself do that
Thinking wildly in her heart, Li Fuzhen stood up and said:

"I have fulfilled your wishes. Now I'm going to work. I have to go to the company. I won't accompany you, my lord mother, my lord father, and my brother."

After finishing speaking, Li Fuzhen didn't wait for her mother to persuade her to stay.

She just nodded to the family and walked out, disappearing into the twilight.

Mother Li, who is also from a wealthy family, couldn't help but look at her husband and son.

But the two men from the Li family didn't speak or stop them.

Mother Li could only let Li Fuzhen go out.

After Li Fuzhen left, Li Zaixi suddenly said:
"Don't worry about her anymore. Ma'am, your eldest daughter is stronger than anyone else. Now she has received more powerful help than the Li family."

"As long as the Americans are willing to have her and her children, she will have a better life than us."

Mother Li was silent.

She felt that this family seemed to be slowly undergoing some kind of change.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

Look back to Paris.

In the end, they all signed the contract, or took the contract back to sign for themselves.

In the end, when Anne and the others, after signing the contract, wanted to find Abel.

Abel has already arrived in a small conference hall in Godelma.

Here, he met representatives of two German giants who made a special trip from Berlin to London and then from London to Paris.

They are the representative of BMW, Johan Wieland.

There is also the representative of Volkswagen, Bernard.

The two Germans were very direct, and Johann Wieland spoke as soon as he came up:
"Mr. Smith. We hope that you can get the Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Company to drop the lawsuit."

Baired nodded beside him.

Abel was surprised, "What do you mean? Sorry, I don't understand your English a bit. Maybe I need to let the translator come in?"

John Wieland's English just now was not standard.

The German simply looked at his companion, and Bered's English was more standard.

Bered smiled and said:
"Mr. Smith. Just now John said, Volkswagen and BMW, I hope you can let Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Company withdraw the lawsuit."

"Oh." Abel nodded, "I understand the English this time. But what does the lawsuit from the Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce have to do with me?"

Abel spread his hands towards the two Germans, "I don't even have a stock in these two companies. What right do I have to make them withdraw their lawsuits?"

Abel's various reactions were obviously expected by the Germans.

With his "shirking", the two Germans didn't seem to be angry.

Bered smiled and said patiently:

"That's what I said wrong just now. What I mean is that we hope that Mr. Smith, you can help us and tactfully tell London to withdraw the lawsuit. In this process, you only need to be a middleman."

Before Abel opened his mouth to refuse, Bered quickly offered conditions.

"Of course. As an intermediary, we will pay you. Mr. Smith, we heard that you have invested in a football team in Manchester. So are you interested in owning a German football team?"

Hearing the benefit from Baired, Abel was startled.

He doesn't know what kind of brain circuit the Germans are.

"It's true that I bought Manchester United. But I have a football team now. Then why would I go to Germany to buy a football team?" Abel said with a smile.

"I've seen the New York Times report on you, Mr. Smith," said Baird.
"The newspaper said, Mr. Smith, when you buy companies in the same industry, you always like to buy two at a time. Then why can't you buy two football teams at the same time?"

"Germany and the Premier League are not in conflict. If you want, you can have both English football and German football."

Fake!

Abel suddenly felt that what the German said seemed to make sense.

Football is not the NBA, and even F1 can have two teams at the same time.

In other words, the broken regulations of those commercial leagues in the United States do not allow one person to own two teams.

But on the European side, it seems that there is no saying that you cannot have a Premier League football team and a Bundesliga football team at the same time.

Abel took a deep breath, and he looked at Barred.

"Okay. Even so, why should I buy Hoffenheim? And it's obviously not a reward, it's for me to invest in your Germany?"

"What if it's a half-price Hoffenheim football club?" Bered smiled.

A Bundesliga team at half price.
Abel thought quickly.

He doesn't know the specific value of a Bundesliga team.

But he also knows that it should be far inferior to the Premier League.

Manchester United is the top team in the Premier League, worth about [-] million pounds.

The Hoffenheim Football Club is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds at most.

If it is half cheaper, can it be 5000 million pounds cheaper?

How generous are these Germans?Abel didn't quite believe it.

In fact, Abel was wrong, because the most valuable team in the Bundesliga is only half the value of Manchester United at most.

At this time, Hoffenheim Football Club can't even play in the Bundesliga, it's just a Bundesliga team.
What Bered said just now was all about the German team, not the Bundesliga team.

It was Abel himself, who was a fake fan, who miscalculated the value of Hoffenheim.

Now in 2001, because of the position of the team, the commercial value of Hoffenheim Football Club is even at the bottom.

Taken together, the value of Hoffenheim Football Club is not at all the [-] million pounds that Abel imagined.

In 2001, Hoffenheim was worth around £2000 million at most.

If you buy it at half price, it is about several million to tens of millions of pounds.

Save a few million pounds at most, not the tens of millions that Abel thought
This is mainly because Abel was hit with a bad message.

In addition, apart from the financial field, Abel is really not good at other aspects.

But this time, compared to tens of millions of pounds.

What Abe wanted more was Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

So he did not hesitate to reject the Germans with poor information.

"Sorry. I'm not familiar with the Vickers Group, nor the Rolls-Royce Motor Company."

Abel responded with a smile: "So maybe you have to make your trip in vain."

His answer finally changed the expressions on the faces of the two Germans.

Johann Wieland couldn't help saying in broken English:

"Mr. Smith, please think carefully. Now Volkswagen and BMW are talking to you, and our contract is fully compliant. It is impossible for you, Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce to succeed."

The German's tone made Abel a little upset.

Abel also turned cold.

"Two gentlemen from Berlin. I would like to ask, how many US military bases are there in Germany?"

John Wieland and Baired were startled when they heard this question that had nothing to do with Rolls-Royce.

Abel didn't need them to answer, he continued to speak:

"Let me tell you. There are seventeen bases in total, seventeen bases, and two bases shared by the two countries. The exact number is nineteen bases in total."

"So." He looked at the two Germans with cold eyes,
"I think you'd better not threaten an American at random. Not even by accident. Do you understand me, gentlemen from Berlin?"

Abel's words made Bered take a breath.

Baired stopped John Wieland, who wanted to say something, and apologized:

"Sorry to bother you. Mr. Smith. John was unintentional, sorry. We're leaving now, sorry."

Looking at the sensible Bai Ruide, Abel smiled again, "That's right. I'm not someone from Rolls-Royce, BMW is the shareholder of Rolls-Royce. So you should go to BMW , oh, yourselves are BMWs, go find yourselves.”

"You're right. Mr. Smith, we're leaving now, we're leaving now." Bai Ruide said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he directly pulled John Wieland away, and the latter looked very bad.

After walking out of Godelma and getting into the car.

John Wieland, who had always had a dark face, finally couldn't help but exploded:

"Bared, Baired! Did you hear that? That Yankee is threatening me, he is threatening me!"

"I heard it." Bered said helplessly:

"But what he said is also true. John, there are indeed a large number of US military bases in our country."

John Wieland fell silent.

Bered didn't speak either.

Although it looks much better than the two dogs of Neon and Han Guo.

But as the defeated country and the initiator of World War II, the chains on Germany have never been removed, and they are actually thicker than anyone else.

It's just that they benefited from the special geographical location in the middle of Europe, and they have that white skin.

That's why Germany doesn't have to be a dog completely.

But it's just not quite a dog.

If the Americans are serious, covering 17+2 US military bases across the country is a sword hanging over the heads of the Germans.

Because in Germany, Americans are more restrained.

Therefore, ordinary Germans are not as sensitive to the US military as ordinary Neon people and Han people.

But the upper elites of this country are more aware of the power of the Americans.

"Hey"

After the silence, Baired sighed, "John, don't forget, it was shown in the intelligence. This Yankee is the future son-in-law of the shrub."

John Wieland knew what Berard meant.

Baired is telling himself that when facing this American, he cannot be as direct as when facing other Europeans.

When facing the Americans, the Germans did not have the economic strength and advantages they had when facing other Europeans.

"I see." John Wieland said stiffly, "Shameless Americans!"

Bered smiled wryly.

Godelmari.

Abel, who once again pretended to be a tiger, gradually understood the coolness of being a five-star emperor.

Facing the Germans can be so cool...

He couldn't even imagine how happy he would be after going to Nihong or Han Country.

How cool was General Meserak back then
The negotiation with the Germans was just an episode for him.

It was these two Germans who reminded him of one thing.

This incident made him not feel bored in Europe for the next period of time.

That's what the German reminded him of, that you can buy several teams in Europe.

After leaving the conference hall, he enthusiastically asked the Smith Intelligence Group to investigate.

Check European football to see if there are any restrictions on this kind of thing.

After the inquiry, the Smith Intelligence Group told Abel.

At least not in the explicit regulations.

It is in the specific operation that UEFA may stand up and oppose it.

Hearing that it was only possible, Abel wanted to try it.

Since he was in Paris, Abel approached Vivendi Universal Group immediately.

Because under the Vivendi Universal Group, there is a Ligue [-] team.

To be precise, it is Canal+ TV station under the Vivendi Universal Group, which owns a Ligue [-] football team.

The name of this Ligue [-] football team is Paris Saint-Germain.

Abel went straight to Jean-Marie Messier, the CEO.
