Chapter 1151 Auction

There was not only Toy in the manor, but also Andrei and Abramovich whom Yang Dongxu had met before. Yang Dongxu was not surprised that Abramovich was in the UK.

After all, this rich man from Northern Russia had just acquired Chelsea last year, and his gesture of waving money in large quantities caused quite a stir in the Premier League and even in the UK.

What surprised him was that Rebonov was also there. Compared with Andrei and Toy, who were once financial oligarchs who had cut off ties with Northern Russia, Rebonov is currently the hot fertilizer king in Northern Russia.

It is said that he has a very good relationship with the emperor mentioned above. This is different from Abramovich. Abramovich is the kind of person who doesn't care about you or cause you trouble. I do business and you govern the country, and we don't interfere with each other.

So it is completely understandable that he has a good relationship with Andrei and Toy, who have power in the UK, but Rebonov is a bit taboo.

There is a characteristic of financial giants who immigrated from Northern Russia, that is, they are very taboo about Northern Russia. Especially after the emperor's means of taking power became stronger and stronger.

They may still miss their hometown, but none of them dare to go back. Otherwise, Toy would not have gone back to hold a funeral for his uncle. He did not want to cause trouble but was still worried.

This is exactly the opposite of the wealthy immigrants from China. Domestic wealthy immigrants may also feel a little guilty and uneasy like the giants of Northern Russia, so they just leave. But the wealthy immigrants from China can still make money in China, so relatively speaking, the country is quite tolerant of these people.

"Congratulations on your team's big win." Abramovich said with a smile after giving Yang Dongxu a hug.

Several people spoke Russian, so there was no obstacle to communication. There was also an inexplicable sense of closeness, perhaps because both Toy and Yang Dongxu were foreigners to London.

"Your team is not bad. After the integration this season, the next team will definitely be a favorite in the Champions League." Yang Dongxu also responded with a smile.

In fact, the two people have a sense of like-mindedness. Because both Barcelona and Chelsea used to be rich clubs. But they have declined in recent years.

After acquiring these two teams, in order to make the team rise, the two chose the same method - spending money.

Not only did he spend money, but he also turned the declining team into a giant.

Barcelona has been made into a giant by Yang Dongxu, and it is very likely to win three consecutive championships this season. Chelsea is surrounded by money and is on the road to becoming a giant. At most, it will be one of the giants by next season.

However, compared with some complicated situations behind Barcelona, ​​Abramovich's Chelsea is undoubtedly much freer. Otherwise, he would not have played so happily. The head coach would fire the team directly after playing a game. He would let the team's stars get out of the way.

As for the team's performance, it is indeed what Abramovich wants. But the premise is that he must be in a good mood first, as for the fans, haha.

Buying a team to make money is naturally a thing that can make him happy, but he doesn't care about losing money. If you regard Chelsea as a big toy, perhaps you can better understand Abramovich's attitude towards this team.

Although the big toy is expensive and fun, he can only control this big toy and put it in eighteen postures according to his mood. The big toy can't control him.

"I heard that those people in the UAE also want to buy a team for fun, which makes me want to buy one too." Andre, the oldest, said with a smile like an elder brother.

"Not only the UAE, but many wealthy businessmen are also inexplicably interested in the team." The speaker was Rebonov.

After Toy's brief introduction just now, Rebonov came to London this time to participate in the auction. At least on the surface, this is the case. Whether there are other deeper meanings is not what Yang Dongxu wants to know.

"If you can run a team well, it is indeed a very good investment." Several people sat down on the sofa, smoking cigars and tasting red wine.

Football can shine and develop rapidly in the next few years, and the players' value has skyrocketed many times more than the NBA. In fact, a large part of the reason is that in addition to the more convenient communication channels than before, there are also the contributions of the Middle Eastern tycoons and some wealthy businessmen who invested in the team.

It is precisely because of the participation of these big capitals that football has developed rapidly. The business chain is getting wider and wider, and the profits are getting more and more sufficient, so more people are attracted to join in, forming a phenomenon of sudden expansion in a short period of time.

Of course, apart from Abramovich and some willful local tycoons in the Middle East, making money is the fundamental reason for these funds to flow into the football industry.

For example, Barcelona, ​​even though it seems not as free as Chelsea. Sometimes there are still a lot of troubles, but since last year, this team has begun to show its terrible ability to attract money.

In fact, Real Madrid's routine has always been right, gathering a lot of stars to attract enough attention. It seems that the financial pressure has been kept at a deficit level and may collapse at any time, but spending money quickly will also make more money.

It's just that after suffering one or two losses, they still haven't summed up the experience of how to make the locker room, stars and clubs live in peace. So it always collapses in the end, but it really makes a lot of money.

In fact, it's not just Real Madrid. Sometimes Yang Dongxu also has a headache with Barcelona now. Because even if he is foresighted, he can't keep the team's locker room, club and stars in the honeymoon period.

The reason why Barcelona is so harmonious now is that they have not won enough honors, and these stars are still trying to move forward and not drifting.

Another reason is related to the composition of the team's superstars. Zidane will retire in two years. The contract signed with Barcelona is a lifetime contract, so there will be no problem in renewing the contract.

Ronaldinho has just recovered from a serious illness and is still constantly looking for his form, so he has been training hard in the team and is also fighting hard on the field. He is a very good leader.

Needless to say, Ronaldinho has two other world footballers in front of him, and he has just won the honor of footballer. Now he is still full of energy.

The little tiger is desperately catching up with the superstars in front of him, so almost everyone's demands are to win and make themselves better. The team is naturally very harmonious, not to mention that Yang Dongxu is also very generous, almost giving them the top salary.

However, this harmony will obviously not last forever, such as Ronaldinho's self-discipline after getting enough honors. This obviously challenges the bottom line of the head coach and the club.

Another example is the distribution of the team's ball rights after the little tiger grows up. No star player would be willing to play a supporting role to others when he is extremely capable, which is also the main reason why Real Madrid often crashes.

And Ronaldo will definitely be the team's top star when he gets back to form, so Barcelona's current glory may last for two or three years. No one can say for sure whether it will collapse directly after sweeping like Real Madrid.

After chatting and having dinner together, Rebonov was about to find Yang Dongxu to exchange contact information before leaving, which surprised him a little.

"He is interested in some of your investments in Northern Russia, so this time when he heard that I wanted to invite you, he took the initiative to come here." Toy explained.

Thinking of the rumors about Rebonov's relationship with which emperor, Yang Dongxu nodded thoughtfully. It is really taboo to get too close to oligarchs like Toy who used to fleece socialism and now take the money they took from Northern Russia and are chic abroad. But what if the higher-ups know about this and allow it?

"Don't get too close to Andre, he has connections with some gangs." Toy reminded again, obviously between Yang Dongxu and Andre. Even though Andre is cooperating more with him now, he still sides with Yang Dongxu.

"I understand, I'm not interested in those businesses." Yang Dongxu said to Toy with a smile.

He still has a lot of money to earn from the right path, so naturally he doesn't want to follow Andre in those crooked ways. What's more, a Chinese national is playing black in a foreign country, and his partner is a big boss. Just think about it and you will know that the final outcome will not be too wonderful.

"The auction will start tomorrow. If you have time, you can go and have a look together. David Auction House is famous for collecting fine porcelain. Maybe there is something you like."

When they entered the door, the two talked about the auction house, but after entering the house, they talked about all sorts of things and didn't say a word about this.

"Then let's go and have a look together tomorrow." Yang Dongxu nodded.

In fact, Yang Dongxu has never been very interested in buying some porcelain and national treasures at international auctions. It's not that he has too many fine collections and doesn't like these things, or he's tired of them.

It's that some Chinese tycoons' behavior is incomprehensible, and I don't know if they really like those porcelains and famous paintings too much. Or maybe they are too eager to bring national treasures home, or they simply feel that they are awesome and rich.

In the past two years, the prices of Chinese antiques at international auctions have hit new highs, and people are clearly trying to rip you off. Some people still keep stretching their necks to let others chop them, as if they can't show their uniqueness without doing so.

Of course, the Koreans and Japanese here are not saying that the goods are good, and they don't buy them and make a fuss. Seeing this, I want to punch these people twice and let them go away.

"If you like anything, just raise the sign and I'll give it to you." Toy said with a smile.

"Okay, don't feel bad when the time comes." Yang Dongxu smiled and gave Toy a hug.

Then Toy said good night.

Since he came to Toy Manor, it was obviously impossible for him to go back to the hotel. So he had to stay in the manor tonight, or he would probably stay here during his stay in the UK.

Not long after Toy left, the housekeeper of the manor brought a list of auction houses for tomorrow's ranking.

The list was obviously screened and all the antiques from China that were lost overseas were on it. Among them, porcelain was the main part, but there were also many calligraphy and paintings, as well as some bronzes.

After reading these lists, Wang Sheng knocked on the door and walked in.

"Miss Dale asked you to attend the David Auction tomorrow night and said she would send a car to pick you up at the hotel."

"It seems that the scale of this auction is not small, and so many people have been invited." Yang Dongxu said with a smile: "Reply to her and tell her that I have already agreed with my friends to attend together, so she doesn't need to pick me up. I will treat her to dinner after the auction."
