66. Being ridiculed by an eight billion dollar billionaire
On the way to Kate's villa, Vladimir told his girlfriend that his manor was nearby and he could visit her in the evening.
"How many people are there in your family?" Evepola asked curiously.
This question seemed to stump Vladimir. After thinking about it, he felt that the data was wrong, so he simply said: "A few dozen."
Evepola was surprised, but soon she understood what was going on. Don't rich second generations like this have dozens of servants to serve them?
"Maybe another day, I'm still not used to it."
"Then I won't go home at night."
"Um……"
Kate's villa is not as big as Vladimir's manor. The wealthy businessman from Mao Zedong she married is called Samedov, who is worth about 8 billion U.S. dollars. Samedov is mainly engaged in the energy and real estate industry. He is also in Mao Zedong.
He is considered to be one of the top rich people.
After meeting, Vladimir discovered a problem, that is, Kate is a very approachable woman, while her husband Samedov has a cold face.
As a rich man, Samedov naturally has his proud capital. Seeing that Vladimir, a young man from a rough country, actually took down a stunning supermodel like Eva Pola, he felt very unhappy.
.
In fact, Samedov also had a crush on Evpola before, but this affection was not shown. After he knew how much he weighed, he turned to pursue Evpola's best friend Kate.
When Kate pulled Evepola into the bedroom for a private chat, apart from the servants, only Vladimir and Samedov were left in the living room.
Samedov, who didn't know Vladimir's background, had a very general attitude, "Mr. Vladimir, what industry are you mainly engaged in?"
"I am now mainly engaged in mining and Internet investment."
“Which world giants does the Internet mainly deal with?”
"Plans are being prepared."
Samedov smiled and said, "I know many mine owners in our country. Many of them are famous in the rich list and have high social status. I am happy to introduce you to them."
Vladimir said: "That's no need. My mining investments are mainly in the Philippines."
"I know the Philippines too. They are all acquaintances. When doing business in the Philippines, you must have a good relationship with the local government. Otherwise, it will be too difficult. If you need it, I can introduce you to them."
Vladimir smiled sarcastically again, "The mine has not yet been mined, and preparations are currently underway."
Samedov smiled, his eyes full of contempt. In his opinion, these projects are all under preparation. Either Vladimir is indeed a young man who wants to start a business, or it is a special Ponzi scheme.
.
Then, Samedov began to impart experience to Vladimir as a person who had experienced it. Half of these experiences were true and half were deceptive.
The smart Vladimir is quite discerning about Samedov's so-called experience. It was already twenty years ago when Samedov started his business. At that time, it was almost completely incomparable with now. Therefore, for Samedov
There is nothing for him to learn from.
Be patient and he will listen to the story.
"So you young people must be down-to-earth, follow one step at a time, and don't aim too high, otherwise you will easily lose your way." Samedov is full of enthusiasm for imparting his successful experience to young people like Vladimir.
Sense of achievement.
"Then where do you live now?" Samedov suddenly couldn't help asking.
"I live in Dongda District."
"In the same place as me?" Samedov smiled. He looked down on Vladimir more and more in his heart. He was obviously in the entrepreneurial stage, but he still had to live in such a top-class wealthy area.
Look, I guess most of them are Ponzi schemes, and you can defraud as many people as you can.
He felt that maybe he should remind Evepola to prevent Vladimir from being a liar.
"Yes, not far."
“I’ll be a guest at your house another day when I’m free.”
"No problem. By the way, Mr. Samedov, are you based in London?"
Samedov shook his head, "I don't live in London, but I have a few villas in London. Christmas is coming, so I brought my family here for vacation. But this time I came to London, I have something to do.
To be dealt with.”
"Oh..." Vladimir said softly, but he stopped talking.
Now it was Samedov's turn to wonder, why didn't this guy continue asking?
However, he didn't care about Vladimir and said directly, "I came here mainly to buy a London team."
Sure enough, in Samedov's view, this guy showed extreme curiosity.
"Arsenal?"
"No……"
"Cesir?"
"No……"
"Tottenham?"
"No……"
"That is?"
"Charlton Club."
Vladimir blurted out: "Charlton doesn't seem to be in the Premier League."
When Samedov heard this, he immediately felt that this guy's tone obviously looked down on him for not being able to afford a Super League team.
"I like to enjoy the process of growing from weak to strong, and then gradually build Charlton Club into a century-old giant." Samedov smiled slightly, which forced him to pretend to be extremely mellow.
Vladimir smiled: "Yes, this is a good idea. I think entrepreneurship is the same, from weak to strong step by step, rather than trying to succeed in just a few steps."
Unexpectedly, Samedov shook his head: "Investing in a sports team is different from starting your own business, at least from the starting point."
"That's true." For this kind of bully, the clever Vladimir chose to agree rather than oppose.
In the afternoon, Kate's friends began to arrive one after another. Some of these friends were single or came with their significant other. One of the friends' husband was from Utah.
Samedov immediately started chatting with this Jewish businessman named Brown.
The center of the topic between the two people was business, and they talked about some lofty words. What about funds, trusts, private equity...
And poor Vladimir was completely ignored by them.
Vladimir didn't think it was anything. When his cell phone rang, he smiled at the two rich men who were talking, pointed to his cell phone and walked out of the living room.
"Who is that guy?" Brown was very surprised when he saw that Vladimir did not speak and had been acting as a loyal listener.
Samedov snorted and smiled, "Evpola's boyfriend, a man who is in the entrepreneurial stage. He invests in minerals and Internet investments in the Philippines."
Brown smiled: "It's not that easy to make money in these two directions."
"So I suspect this guy is running a Ponzi scheme."
Brown thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "Judging from his current situation, it is very possible that as a rich man, how can he still be in an entrepreneurial state."
…
As soon as the call was connected, Victor told him directly that the results of this recruitment were quite good.
