2102 Mystery Guest

The auction came to an end, and the most attention-grabbing focus was undoubtedly Lan Li, who stole the style of all the guests; and followed by the mysterious guest No. 43.

Although he had not shown up, the 1.5 million pounds of pounds was still eye-catching; when the guitar and music score was auctioned, guest No. 43 also offered a quotation of 950,000 pounds. If Dave had not gritted his teeth and resisted at the last moment, guest No. 43 might have to be directly filled. Of course, he also had such ability. It was just because of the charity auction that there was no need to steal all the limelight. He did not continue to increase the price, otherwise he would continue to quote the guitar and music score. With the financial resources he showed, there would naturally be no problem.

Just clues are enough to make people full of countless speculations about the guest No. 43, especially the mystery hidden behind the scenes is even more curious.

More or less, people are curious about the true identity of the guest No. 43. Although the nobles always look down on the emerging and rising rich forces and always think that they are nouveau riche; but everything has a "degree"

If the value of wealth reaches a sufficient height and exceeds the cognitive level of ordinary people in one fell swoop, such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, the wealth that is as rich as a country is enough to give them enough status. Then, whether they have a long historical heritage at this time is no longer important, but they win a place in the upper class in another way.

In the world of fame and fortune, it is also beneficial to be famous. The two are indispensable. If there is only one of the two, either relying on a single strength to rank high, or it is just trying to strive for the upper reaches of the world, compared to ordinary people, they are just going a little further.

Now, guest No. 43 has shown the tip of the iceberg, which naturally makes people curious. Is it a rising star who spends a lot of money to make a fat man like Dave? Or is it a new billionaire with a deep foundation that can gain a foothold with wealth?

If it were Roman Abramovich, then everything would make sense.

This rich man, ranked first in Russia and ranked 15th in the world, started his business with oil and non-ferrous metals. Now he has further expanded his business field in many directions such as real estate and aviation to build his own business empire. An important move from Siberia to the world was that in 2003, he bought the Premier League team Chelsea in economic difficulties. At that time, he was only 37 years old.

After acquiring Chelsea, Roman began to scatter pounds, investing more than 400 million pounds in just four years, completely dominating the Premier League transfer market, allowing Chelsea to grow from a quasi-strong team to a top giant, truly breaking the fixed situation of Manchester United joining forces with Arsenal to dominate the Premier League.

Of course, Roman was a Russian, and he was an outsider; Roman was very young and had built a huge business empire in his early thirties; Roman was very cunning, involved many disputes in his hometown in his hometown, and went to England, which was also considered to be a move to transfer assets... The most important thing is that Roman lost his mother at one year old and his father at three years old. As an orphan, under the protection of his uncle, he grew up in a slum. Everything made him stand opposite to the "old nobles" and became a representative of the "new rich man", which means nouveau riche.

This also made Roman always wander outside the real upper class in the first few years after arriving in the UK and could not get his goal; but with the development of time, Roman finally relied on Chelsea as a platform to successfully open up the situation in the UK, and no one could refuse football.

Now, the upper class, including parliamentarians, presidents, prime ministers, nobles, etc., have opened the door for Roman. Although there are countless people who hate him, there will never be any news about the confrontation between the "new rich man vs old nobles", but it is undeniable that he has successfully gained a foothold.

Rumor has it that Roman and Prince Charles have a close personal relationship.

The times have changed irresistiblely.

The legendary story about Roman cannot be explained in a few words, and it is even more legendary than Renly; but Roman appears at the Gerrick Club, which is worth discussing itself.

If Roman was the mysterious guest No. 43, then everything could be explained successfully, and £1.5 million is just a drop in the bucket for Roman.

But if Roman was not Guest No. 43, things would become interesting. Who is the real Guest No. 43? Why is Roman at the cocktail party? At the auction, did Roman send someone to attend? Why is there no movement at all? Did he come for Alexander? Or did he have other purposes?

And so on.

When Roman appeared, the focus of the whole audience changed subtly. In addition to Renli, Roman became the absolute focus, and even faintly surpassed Renli, causing the eyes of all the guests to quietly project over, guessing closely what was going on now.

But Roman was much lower-key than he thought. He stood at the edge of the banquet hall near the corner, holding whiskey with the guests beside him, instead of rushing all the eyes like butterflies, which was slightly different from the rumored image.

According to rumors, Roman's hands were not only covered with the smell of copper, but also covered with blood. He was never ruthless in his iron-blooded wrists and insidious methods. Not to mention his path to becoming rich, you can feel the coldness in your bones just from the players' transactions and coach changes within the Chelsea team. The ruthlessness and ruthlessness of killing, inside and out, everything was put first, and everything else was on the side.

What is certain is that when Renly and Matthew bid farewell to the Beckham and turned toward Roman, the guests couldn't help but feel excited because they were so excited that the whispering and whispering disappeared, leaving only a buzzing sound, and they couldn't help staring at the collision between the two mountains with breathtaking breath. On one side is the representative of emerging aristocrats, and on the other side is the benchmark for young rich people. What sparks will burst into such a collision?

"Good afternoon, Mr. Abramovich." Lanli greeted him on his own initiative. He was not as nervous as he imagined. What else could be more shocking than being a human being in two lives? After experiencing the most incredible things, other things became calm. In addition, the face-to-face experiences of Barry Mayer, Bob Egner, and Harvey Weinstein, such as the industry's top tycoons, also made Lanli understand that the big guys also have their own style, and they are also ordinary people. As for Roman, he just has more wealth figures.

Roman has a round baby face, always with a bright smile on his face, and his clear eyes flashed with a honest light. Even with a beard, he still cannot hide the childishness on his facial features and the face. The contradiction formed by the first impression and the rumored impression often leads to more confusion, which also makes the meeting interesting.

Roman stretched out his right hand, "Good afternoon, Lord Lanli." His palm was wide and warm, without any force, but showed strong tolerance. The doll-like smile bloomed, revealing neat teeth, "Ha, your palm is not ice, I found it."

Lan Li was slightly stunned for a moment, and it took a half beat to react. Roman said the joke spread by the crew of "gravity": Lan Li was actually a vampire.

After reacting, Lan Li chuckled sincerely, "My feelings are the same. Your palms are warm. It seems that we cannot believe the rumors at will."

There are countless rumors about Roman, but it is certain that most people believe that Roman is a cruel, ruthless cold-blooded animal. Regardless of his time, his history of making a fortune or his Russian background, everything is covered with a veil of mystery and is curious.

Roman frowned and said apologetically, "Sorry, I've disappointed you."

This made Lan Li smile even brighter, "Sorry, I disappointed everyone, especially those enthusiasts who believe in mysterious archives, so, I think, we all keep a little secret so that those rumors can continue to spread, what do you think?"

"I have no problem." Roman showed a shallow smile, and his neatly trimmed beard seemed to hide a shallow dimples, revealing a hint of shyness. It was hard to believe that this was the cold-blooded and ruthless Chelsea boss who held the power of life and death for countless people.

Lanli and Roman let go of each other's palms, and then Lanli took the initiative to introduce, "This is my friend, Matthew, he is a lawyer. Please forgive me for your misconduct. I have to invite my friend to be the Black Knight and accompany me to visit you."

This subtext is really...is it implying that Roman kills without blinking? So there must be a lawyer accompanying him!

But Roman didn't mind at all, but raised his eyebrows, "You know, in this world, the only thing I don't want to offend, the only one I am willing to believe unconditionally is the lawyer. I think, I can understand your idea. Is this proof that we stand on the same position?"

This answer is also meaningful.

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

This also proves one thing again: there are too few rumors and credible content; even in many cases, "hearing is false and seeing is true" is full of lies. Only after you truly experience it with your heart and experience it yourself can you make a judgment. This is also another side effect behind the ocean of information in the Internet age.

Lanli thinks that Roman should be an interesting conversation partner.
