2102 Mystery Guests
The whole auction came to an end, and the absolute focus of attention was undoubtedly Renly, who stole the elegance of all the guests; followed by the mysterious guest No. 43.
Although he never showed up, the handwriting of 1.5 million pounds is still eye-catching; when the guitar and sheet music were finally auctioned, the 43rd guest also offered a price of 950,000 pounds, if not for Dave's final resistance. , then the No. 43 guest may have to pay the price directly - of course, he also has such ability, just because of the relationship of the charity auction, there is no need to steal all the limelight, so he did not continue to increase the price, otherwise continuing to bid will The guitar and sheet music are in the bag, and with the financial resources he has shown, there is naturally no problem.
Just the clues are enough to make people full of countless speculations about the 43rd guest, especially the mysterious veil hidden behind the scenes is even more curious.
More or less, people are curious about the true identity of the forty-third guest. Although the aristocrats always look down on the rising power of the rich, they always think they are upstarts; but everything has a "degree"——
If the net worth has reached a high enough level and surpassed the cognitive level of ordinary people in one fell swoop, such as Bill Gates, such as Steve Jobs, the wealth of the rival country is enough for them to have enough status, then at this time, whether to have The long historical heritage is no longer important, but won a place in the upper class in another way.
Vanity Fair is famous and beneficial, and the two are inherently indispensable. If there is only one of the two, either relying on a single strength to rank high, or just striving for the upper reaches of all living beings - compared to ordinary people, it is just Just go a little further.
Now, the 43rd guest has shown the tip of the iceberg, which naturally makes people curious, whether it is a rising star like Dave who spends a lot of money to make a swollen face and become a fat man; Can you gain a foothold with wealth?
If it's Roman-Abramovich, then everything makes sense.
The richest man ranked No. 1 in Russia and No. 15 in the world started his business with oil and non-ferrous metals. Now he has further expanded his business field in real estate, aviation and other directions to create a business empire of his own. An important move for Siberia to go global was the purchase of Chelsea, a Premier League team in financial distress, in 2003, when he was only 37 years old.
After the acquisition of Chelsea, Roman began to spend sterling wildly. In just four years, he invested more than 400 million pounds, completely dominating the Premier League transfer market, allowing Chelsea to grow from a quasi-strong team to a top giant, truly breaking the Manchester United alliance. Arsenal domination of the Premier League is a fixed situation.
Of course Roman is Russian,
He is an outsider; Roman is very young, he has built a huge business empire by himself in his early thirties; Roman is very cunning, and has been involved in many disputes in gray areas in his hometown. Going to the UK is also considered to be 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 made him stand on the opposite side of the "old aristocracy". Became the representative of "new rich", which means upstart.
This also caused Roman Reigns to stay outside the real upper class in the first few years of his arrival in the UK, and had no access to it; but with the development of time, Roman Reigns still relied on Chelsea as a platform to successfully open up the situation—— In the UK, no one can say no to football.
Now, the upper class, including congressmen, presidents, prime ministers, nobles, etc., has opened the door for Roman. Although there are still countless people who hate him, the confrontation between the "new rich VS old aristocrats" will never be known, but it must be The denial is that he has managed to gain a foothold.
It is rumored that Roman and Prince Charles are also very close.
Times have finally changed irresistibly.
The legendary story of Roman Reigns cannot be explained in a few words at all, even more legendary than Renly; but Roman Reigns appeared in the Garrick Club, which is worth discussing in itself.
If Roman is the mysterious No. 43 guest, then everything can be explained satisfactorily. One and a half million pounds is just a drop in the bucket for Roman.
But things get interesting if Roman isn't guest No. 43 - who is the real guest No. 43? Why did Roman show up at the reception? At the auction, did Roman send anyone to participate? Why is there no movement at all? Did he come for Alexander? Or is there another purpose?
and so on.
When Roman appeared, the focus of the audience changed subtly. Except for Renly, Roman became the absolute focus, and even surpassed Renly. Interestingly guessing, what is going on now.
But Roman was a lot more low-key than he thought. He stood at the edge of the banquet hall near the corner, holding whiskey and bowing politely to the guests next to him, instead of running around like a butterfly to attract everyone. Line of sight, this is slightly different from the rumored image.
According to the rumors, Roman's hands were not only stained with the smell of copper, but also covered with blood. The iron-blooded wrists and insidious methods have never been soft-hearted. Leaving aside his fortune, he only learned from the players inside the Chelsea team. You can feel the coldness in your bones when buying and selling and changing coaches. The top and bottom, inside and out, are full of ruthlessness and decisiveness. Everything is based on interests and everything else stands aside.
What is certain is that when Renly and Matthew said goodbye to the Beckhams and turned to walk towards Roman, all the guests couldn't help but get excited-because they were so excited that the chatter disappeared. Now, there is only a humming sound, and I can't help staring at the collision of the two mountain ranges. One side is the representative of the emerging aristocracy, and the other side is the benchmark of the young rich. What kind of sparks will such a collision spark?
"Good afternoon, Mr. Abramović." Renly greeted proactively, he wasn't nervous at all—what else could be more shocking than two worlds? After the most incredible things happened to me, everything else became lighter; in addition, Barry Mayer, Bob Aigner, Harvey Weinstein, the industry's top bigwigs face-to-face The experience of getting along with him also made Renly understand that the bosses also have their own styles, and they are also ordinary people. As for Roman, he just has more wealth.
Roman has a round baby face, always with a bright smile on his face, clear eyes flashing with honest light, even with a beard, he still can't hide the childishness on his facial features and face, first impressions and rumors The contradictions formed by the impressions often lead to more confusion, which also makes the meeting more interesting.
Roman stretched out his right hand, "Good afternoon, Your Excellency Renly." His palm was broad and warm. It didn't use force, but it showed a strong tolerance, and the baby-like smile bloomed, revealing a neat and tidy expression. Teeth, "Ha, your palm is not ice, I found it."
Renly was stunned for a moment, and took half a beat before he realized that Roman was referring to the joke spread by the "Gravity" crew: Renly is actually a vampire.
After reacting, Renly also chuckled sincerely, "My feelings are the same, your palm is warm, it seems that we can't believe the rumors at will."
There are countless rumors about Roman, but what is certain is that most people believe that Roman is a ruthless, hard-hearted, cold-blooded animal. No matter the time, his family history or his Russian background, everything is covered with a layer. Mysterious, intriguing.
Roman frowned and said apologetically, "Sorry for disappointing you."
This made Renly smile even brighter, "Sorry, I've let everyone down, especially the fanatics who believe in the Mystery Archives, so I guess we'll keep a little bit of a secret to keep those rumors alive. ,what do you think?"
"I have no problem." Roman showed a shallow smile, his neatly trimmed beard seemed to hide a shallow dimple, revealing a hint of shyness, unbelievable, this is the cold-blooded Chelsea boss who has mastered countless The power of life and death.
Renly and Roman let go of each other's hands, and then Renly took the initiative to introduce, "This is my friend, Matthew, he's a lawyer. Please forgive my rudeness, I had to invite my friend As a black knight, accompany me to visit you."
This subtext is really... Is it implying that Roman kills without blinking? So you must be accompanied by a lawyer!
But Roman didn't mind at all, instead he raised his eyebrows, "You know, in this world, the only person I don't want to offend, the only person I want to believe unconditionally is a lawyer, I think, I can understand your thoughts, this is Does it prove that we are on the same ground?"
This answer is also meaningful.
Although Roman's English still has a slight accent, he has fully understood the essence of British black humor, and the conversation is full of joy. This is really a very, very interesting thing. It can be seen from the side that Roman Reigns has made countless efforts to gain a firm foothold in the British upper class.
This also proves one thing again: rumors, there is really too little credible content; even many times, "hearing is false and seeing is true" is also full of lies, only after you really experience it with your heart and experience it yourself can you be able to Making judgments is another side effect behind the information ocean in the Internet age.
Renly felt that Roman should be an interesting person to talk to.
