American Fortune Life

Chapter 693 London and Lima

On the streets of London, there are crowds of people coming and going, cars passing by like a cloud, especially the beautiful double-decker bus (Volvo), with its red color, it is very eye-catching.

During the 11-hour flight, Andy and his team rested well, so they were not worried about jet lag and physical and mental fatigue. It was just that the original good mood was upset by the scene outside the airport.

The United Kingdom, especially London, has become a "magnet" for the rich. The reasons include the current relatively low tax, perfect legal system, rich cultural life, convenient language, good education, many professionals that can be recruited, and the time zone is located between America and Asia, which is convenient for taking care of three continents. markets, and being in Europe but not in the troubled Eurozone, etc.

Two-thirds of the billionaires in the UK are concentrated in London. They are either born here, or live here for a long time, or regard London as their business base.

Although London is an economic and cultural capital with a long history, compared with emerging financial centers such as New York, Shanghai, Dubai, and Monaco, it seems to be a little less "modern", but it can still attract so many new rich people.

Most of the "rich people" in the UK are outsiders, which shows from one aspect that Britain is very attractive to world-class rich people. The British media believes that the biggest secret of Britain's attraction of rich people lies in: British taxes are low.

Britain is known as a "tax evasion haven". According to statistics from Grant Thornton International, the total assets of the top 54 "billionaires" in the UK alone reached 126 billion pounds

On the other hand, the loose immigration policy has also attracted many wealthy people to the UK. As for those rich people who have "committed crimes" in their own country, as long as they apply for political asylum, the UK generally does not refuse them. Many Russian oligarchs, such as Berezovsky, Abramovich and others, chose to live in London immediately after they could not stay in their own country. Although most of them do not have British nationality, they enjoy the same treatment as British citizens.

What pleases the rich most is that British banks and law firms are less likely to ask the question of "where does the money come from?"

It is such a country where only one of the top ten richest people in the country is on the list, but it has shown hostility to Andy, a new generation of super rich people. Of course, this cannot be blamed on others. The other rich people are here to consume, invest, and prosper the London economy. However, when Andy came, he stepped on the corpses of many people and plundered wealth from the London financial market. It is conceivable that the financial gangsters who looted everywhere received this kind of treatment.

However, if there is no one behind this matter, Andy will not believe anything. The arrogance of the British is the result of the glory of the British Empire for hundreds of years, even if it is not even a little afterglow. When they got on, they still felt that the American little cousin was first, and the British second.

Andy looked at the scenery along the way. The banks of the Thames River and the vicinity of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are famous attractions in London. After crossing the bridge and passing by the London Eye,

Only then did I feel that the London Eye is very imposing.

The representative of luxury hotels in the world, the Four Seasons Hotel on Park Road in London, the housekeeper of the presidential suite is dressed in the clothes that Andy thinks are very pleasing to the eye, and she leads the way sideways with a sweet smile. The place is full of fresh and bright green, which contrasts with Hyde Park, allowing people to experience the unique beauty of the Four Seasons Hotel. .

In the presidential suite, Andy looked at the luxurious and comfortable guest rooms, the elegant restaurant, the beautiful indoor garden, and the rooftop hot spring overlooking the panoramic view of the park through the 360-degree glass curtain wall. , bright red carpets, screens, and various red-glazed vases are placed on the black marble fireplace.

Nodding in satisfaction, Andy said to the housekeeper with a smile on his face: "Then, I will trouble you for the rest of the time, Jenny."

"It's my honor and I'm willing to serve you, Mr. Smith, you take a break first, the water in the whirlpool has been put away, I'll go and see your lunch preparations..."

Andy looked at the back of the housekeeper's exaggerated body tightly wrapped in a professional suit, and was very impressed by the ups and downs of the London accent.

Walking to the bedroom, opening the closet, taking out the bathrobe and changing it, came to the spacious bathroom, sat in the tumbling surf bathtub, picked up the mobile phone at the side, and called Adriana Lima.

In 2007 London Fashion Week, Rhodes, an iconic figure in the British fashion industry, showed his work at London Fashion Week for the first time in 20 years. The opening or finale of the big show will undoubtedly always be the most important.

Adriana Lima, as the supermodel with the highest exposure rate and the most topics this year, has almost occupied the September fashion magazines of many countries. She has a tendency to surpass Gisele Bundchen and become the home of the four major fashion weeks in more than a month. The most sought-after opening, the finale supermodel.

Sitting on a chair in the dressing room, Lima, who was only wearing a pink silk nightgown, reached out and straightened the front of her nightgown, flattening the gap where she could see her side peaks. Tui relaxed and stretched out, the red nail polish was particularly conspicuous on her bare wheat-colored delicate feet.

The makeup artist took the makeup remover in his hand and began to remove her makeup quickly. You must know that in order to show the avant-garde boldness and bright colors of Ms. Rhodes's works, the makeup on Lima's face is also very colorful. After the big show, Lima will She couldn't wait to remove her makeup, she didn't want her skin to suffer.

"Ade, your phone..." The assistant walked over quickly with an ambiguous and envious expression, and handed the phone to Lima.

Lima took the phone and looked at it, then turned to the makeup artist and said, "I'll do it myself, I'll take a call..."

As he said that, he stood up from his seat holding a cotton pad soaked in lotion, turned his head and glanced at his assistant angrily, walked into the lounge, and closed the door behind him.

"Honey, have you finished today's show?"

As soon as the phone was connected, it was Andy's familiar voice, which made Lima's mood throbbing, and the missing also flooded into his heart uncontrollably at this moment.

"Have you arrived in London? Where are you now? Andy, I miss you..." Adriana Lima's hoarse voice became trembling, sometimes she really hated Andy, the bastard's heart , but after all, he is his first man, thinking of his various goodness and various unwillingness, as time goes by, the fetters and feelings between the two become more and more difficult to let go.

"I miss you too, I miss you so much, I miss every inch of your skin..."

"call--"

Listening to Andy's unscrupulous flirting on the phone, and describing all the familiar details, although she was a little embarrassed, the itching still made her breathe a little faster, biting the corners of her lips lightly, a pair of bright eyes Mist rises from the gray-green eyes.

"When you pack up, go directly to the underground parking lot. Kenny has already picked you up. I can't wait to see you. Honey, you will soon know how much I miss you..."

Andy looked down at 28 in the water who stood up and saluted because he said too high, he couldn't help laughing, Lima on the other side blushed pretty and tightened his long tui, and spat lightly.

"I, I was invited to the show this afternoon... Don't, don't mess around."

"Hehe, it's okay. If you haven't died by then, I'll go with you. Two hours is enough. I think the scene of the birds returning to their nests must be what you're looking forward to the most. Hurry up, I'll wait for you. "

"call--"

Lima hung up the phone, swallowed, looked at his pretty red face in the opposite mirror, took a deep breath, raised his arms, and quickly wiped off the remaining makeup on his face with the cotton pad in his hand, the flame in his heart was burned The bastard was completely lifted up.

He walked into the bathroom, washed his cheeks, wiped his face with a towel, opened the door and said to the assistant, "Bring me the skirt and shoes you prepared."

As soon as the words were finished, the female assistant Mary walked in quickly, with a red flower dress on a white background in her arms, and a pair of bright red wide-heeled high-heeled shoes in her other hand, and closed the door behind her.

Lima threw away the towel and took off her nightgown directly, not caring at all to show her charming and flawless body, took the dress over her head, raised her arms high, and Mary helped her pull down the skirt and tidy it up After closing the zipper on the back, the high-waist corset fluffy dress with three-quarter sleeves made Lima's long tui even taller.

"You still have an invitation to a big show in the afternoon, don't have too much fun..." Mary instructed from the side.

"Ha~ Didn't you have been bought by him a long time ago? Why are you worried about me again?" Lima angrily gave Mary a white look in the mirror, and teased.

"Don't come here, he's Andy Smith, what can I do, I've never seen the kind of battle under him, there are more than a dozen non-disclosure agreements, it will take me a long time to read, those lawyers who talked to me They are all staring at me like wolves, what can I do." Mary said with a forced and helpless look on her face.

Lima snorted softly, and was noncommittal to the assistant Mary's words. Without the 200,000 USD agreement fee, she didn't believe that Mary would sign such a harsh non-disclosure agreement. Any uncertain factors should be ruled out. .
