Chapter 775 Xiang Yang went to the appointment, and Little John yelled "Catch the thief"
"Dear Xiang, it is my lifelong regret not being able to work with you at Arsenal."
"Mr. Usmanov, I feel very sorry too.”
It’s different from Abu who is always unshaven.
When the chubby Usmanov used veneers, it didn’t hurt at all.
"If Arsenal can be in my hands, I will also spend a lot of money to buy Torres to help you turn the club around as soon as possible."
I thought it would be over with just a polite word, but I didn't expect it to be over. Smanov held Xiang Yang's hand and still chatted affectionately.
How to say it.
For those who didn’t know, I thought he had a better relationship than Abu and Xiangyang.
But Abu, who was standing next to him, pursed his lips slightly.
A smile that doesn't show off anything.
Usmanov was right in what he said. He not only strengthened the team's competitiveness, but also indirectly helped Xiang Yang a big favor.
The reward for this is that he can invite Xiang Yang from Paris with just one phone call.
But Usmanov, who is also a billionaire, can only ask him for help.
Invisibly, there is a clear contrast in the status of the two.
"Let's go, go to my villa today. I have already prepared a sumptuous dinner. I believe you will be satisfied with it."
After Usmanov finished speaking, Xiangyang glanced at Abu.
“This way, it’s closer to his home.” Abu nodded.
The moment Xiang Yang looked back, it was confirmed that he was more important in Xiang Yang's heart. He asked: "Xiang, why didn't your wife come?"
"She is filming in China." Xiang Yang explained, "At Christmas, she will accompany me to England to enjoy the game. Then we will Let’s visit Mr. Abu together.”
"Then I have to prepare well." Abu couldn't help but nodded, and then curiously glanced at Bi Shaffer who was following Xiang Yang.
He has an impression of Anna Wintour’s daughter.
But
"Where is that young man who is always following you?"
"Little John."
Xiang Yang shrugged, can I bring him here, funny.
If he drinks too much and he makes a mistake, you ask your bodyguard to beat him up. How will I explain to Laura and JCE?
If you beat him to death.
Then little JoJo will only have one father left.
“He is busy with the movie.”
Unexpectedly, Abu gave Little John a rare compliment, "Your recent achievements in movies really amaze me."
He also watched "Despicable Me".
Not in a movie theater, but in your own home.
Of course, what amazed him was not how funny the animation was, nor how it swept the global box office.
Instead, in just over ten days, Xiangyang used this IP to earn US$100 million for HYS!
This speed of making money is even worse than the speed at which they, the former oligarchs, made money by digging gold mines, collecting natural gas, and selling oil in Russia.
And how much does it cost?
It’s simply incomparable.
"He did really well." Xiang Yang responded pertinently.
The three of them were chatting and laughing among the bodyguards. The reporter from "The Sun" who was not far away had already taken their photos early.
A Chelsea boss, a Liverpool chairman, a miserable second-in-command at Arsenal.
When these three people got together, the explosive title was written casually. Maybe, when you wake up tomorrow morning, Arsenal changing ownership will not be new news.
"What should I write?" He murmured to himself in a low voice.
Waiting in the car, we arrived at Usmanov’s mansion in the suburbs of London.
It is said to be a mansion, but it is actually a manor.
As soon as he entered the gate, Xiang Yang couldn't help but his eyes lit up. It wasn't that he had never seen the world before, but it was just that this manor was so damn big.
Do the oligarchs in Russia like to make not a single telegraph pole visible at the door of their home because they have long been insecure?
"Xiang, if you like, you can come here for vacation at any time." Usmanov smiled.
Xiang Yang nodded politely to him, then withdrew his gaze and twitched the corners of his mouth.
I’m not coming.
I don't know what you have at home.
But I know that if I take Liu Qianqian here, the soon-to-be-completed manor modeled after the Palace of Versailles will probably be targeted.
I blame myself for not being able to keep my mouth shut and telling her nothing about buying a house
"Xiang, I called Prokhorov, he will rush over tonight." Regarding the arrival at the house, Abu intervened.
"I'm just asking for advice." The corners of Xiang Yang's mouth couldn't help but twitch again.
40 million euros
He didn’t dare to ask for this gift.
He is different from this group of people. They have the final say. In addition to being a shareholder, he has a position in the Hermès Group.
At that time, if someone seizes this point and makes trouble for him.
It will be very troublesome.
This is different from the original Ferrari.
That is the reward for both parties on the club shirt.
As for paying for it, Xiangyang said regretfully: "I'm sorry, it's too expensive. Even if you give me a half discount, I won't buy it."
I already did it on the way here. The well-planned Xiangyang said to Abu: "Abu, more than that house, I cherish the Ferrari you once gave me, and my lover cares about it equally."
Yes, I am nostalgic loving person.
Don't tempt me with new things.
"Haha, I just said that Xiang would never agree." Usmanov laughed out loud. He had already made a judgment on this matter.
But Xiang Yang was full of appreciation for his ability to refuse the temptation of a house worth far more than 40 million euros.
"But Abu, I suggest you buy it. Maybe you will be surprised by its increased value in the future." Even if you refuse politely, you must pay attention to the method.
Especially for a nice person like Abu.
After a slight pause, Xiang Yang continued: "When I go back this time, I will look for a house in the surrounding area as soon as possible. I believe that we will be much happier as neighbors than if I live by myself."
"Being neighbors "
Abu looked at Xiangyang carefully, this suggestion is good.
“I believe that even my two daughters hope that one day they can take a few steps to see their tough Uncle Abu.”
“Haha, okay, wait for Proho Rove, come over and I’ll have a chat with him.”
Hearing that Xiangyang had moved his two precious daughters out, Abu smiled rarely. He had several daughters, and he liked them all.
One of them is also obsessed with Xiangyang’s INS and posts photos on it every day.
As the topic of the house ended, several people got out of the car and walked into the manor villa. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the strong smell of Da Er.
Whether it is decoration or embellishment, it is extremely luxurious.
Xiang Yang was already accustomed to such vulgar things, but it was the several masterpieces of Usmanov hanging on the wall that made him pause.
Rich people like to collect art. Those who engage in design also like it.
Not to mention, Usmanov’s collection is diverse and the quantity is also very large.
Listen to him, many of them are the collection of cellist Rostropovich, and he bought them all after his death.
Of course, the value and price of these works of art are not shocking.
When he bought it, he spent a total of just over 10 million US dollars.
"Xiang, I believe you won't refuse if I give you this." Usmanov took the card from his bodyguard and handed it to Xiang Yang with a smile.
It is a cartoon from the Soviet Union period.
He spent a lot of money on this.
These cartoons are also very influential in this field around the world.
For example, one of the gifts he gave to Xiangyang was the animated short "Little Hedgehog in the Mist", which profoundly influenced neon cartoonist Hayao Miyazaki.
In addition to this cartoon, the most famous cartoon in the gift should be "Rabbit, wait and see!" 》
Of course, this rabbit does not refer to rabbit.
It is the Russian version of "Tom and Jerry".
"Thank you." Xiang Yang was surprised by this gift.
"They are not suitable for children to watch." Of course Abu has watched these cartoons, and he knows many of the contents by heart.
It’s all complaints and sarcasm.
“Haha, I know.”
Xiang Yang also laughed out loud.
How could such an interesting thing get the turn of Mu Xin and Zhiyin? Shouldn’t it be that he and Liu Qianqian should appreciate it first?
After accepting the gift, Xiang Yang's mind became active again.
But soon as the three of them walked to the living room to sit down and rest, the conversation gradually began to deepen.
With the friendship between Abu and Xiangyang, Usmanov did not hide it and directly asked Xiangyang his true views on Facebook.
We are all busy people, there is no need to waste time between hypocrisy and compromise.
“I think Facebook’s investment has great potential, but as far as I know, Goldman Sachs will have the advantage in their next financing plan.”
As for the next development of Facebook, thanks to his acquaintance with Beibang, Xiang Yang knows very well.
And this is where Usmanov envies Xiangyang the most.
Sometimes even though you have too much money, you cannot integrate into the circle, and some key information cannot be easily obtained.
Goldman Sachs has a financing plan for Facebook, and he also found out about this.
It is not a secret to him, but the attitude of Facebook’s internal team towards which financing party to choose next is very critical.
Although he has already acquired 1/3 of the shares of DST, and indirectly acquired some shares of Facebook.
But we are not on the same line as the founding team, so it is inevitable that we will not be able to guarantee the same and be cheated.
After all, "The Social Network" has already given the answer. The people in Silicon Valley can drive him out at any time with the advantage of their shares.
In the end, all the money he took out became someone else's wedding dress.
“Xiang, I also have a friend who I would like to introduce to you. He is very interested in some developing Internet companies in China.
Can you stay in London for one more day? I believe we will have many topics in common after he comes. "
"Okay. "
"." Abu on the side frowned.
"Lock the door? Can this be difficult for me? ”
According to the plan, I went back home after get off work.
After dinner and counting the time, Little John said hello to his wife.
The reason is just a random one.
He said he made an appointment with Xiangyang to exercise together.
Laura was not surprised to see him wearing a cycling suit. Last time he and Xiang Yang rode together, they even took photos and sent them to show off to themselves.
After
Riding a bicycle while there was still light in the sky, it took more than an hour for Little John to arrive at Xiangyang's house as promised. It was already dark.
At the intersection, there is only the yellow light of the street lamp, not even a human figure.
The door of Xiangyang’s villa is locked.
This is nothing.
The key is that after he climbed over the wall and came in, he was surprised to find that there were no lights on in the entire villa and the door was locked.
Cursing, he raised his head and looked towards the second floor.
The windows were closed, but the curtains were not drawn
“Not at home?” After a moment of confusion, Little John touched the back pocket of his cycling jersey and found that
"Hey, where's my phone number?"
"Xiang! Are you at home? It's me, Little John!"
"Xiang! Open the door for me! I promise to keep the secret for you!"
"Xiang! You damn"
After yelling a few words, Little John blinked, and the room There was no movement at all.
"He's quite smart."
"How did you say that, rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests? That's how it's used."
He put his ear against the door of the house and eavesdropped for a while. He found that there was indeed no sound at all in the house. Only then did Little John confirm that his friend was not playing hide-and-seek with him.
But think about it, if you were caught stealing from someone at home.
That must be dead~
Slightly raising the corners of his mouth, Little John felt a little thirsty, so he walked to the workshop again and found that the door here was also locked. On.
“Damn it, you didn’t even know to leave me a key.” With another curse, Little John glanced towards the swimming pool under the moonlight.
Uh.
Xiang Yang’s swimming pool has always been a decoration.
He doesn’t dare to drink the water from the faucet here.
After thinking about it, he went around to the back of the workshop. Little John, who was extremely familiar with his friend's house, found the ladder directly.
It is much easier to climb out with a ladder than to climb in through the door.
When you get home, send a message to your friend to explain, and he will never make a mistake by calling the police to arrest the thief.
Maybe, because he suspects that he knows his little secret, he will be frightened and courteous to himself.
When he thought of this, Little John smiled proudly.
He came to the wall in one step and two steps. After setting up the ladder, Little John easily reached the top of the wall and glanced casually down, stunned
" ?”
"!!!"
"Where is my car?!"
"Xiang! Your house has been broken into!!!"
After squealing, Xiang Yang The light suddenly came on at the door of the villa next to my home
