Chapter 1769 Being an Ostrich is Not Bad
Xiao Peng's upbringing meant he couldn't accept the existence of this "bride market." But what could he do? He was just one person; how could he go against a city? Xiao Peng wasn't a bad man, but he wasn't a saint either! Everything he did was based on one premise: protecting himself.
Just like this so-called "bride market", it is clearly human trafficking!
What is the difference between the two?
It really exists! If it's called "human trafficking," it's a crime. If it's called "bride market," it's just because ethnic tradition supports the Nenets and meets Russian minority regulations. See, it becomes legal and legitimate.
Xiao Peng doesn't like the Vorkuta bride market, but is there any way to solve it?
Of course there is a way. 99% of the problems in the world can be solved with money, and the remaining 1% requires more money. He can completely learn from Abramovich's approach!
At that time, the emperor launched a vigorous campaign to crack down on oligarchs in Russia. The seven major oligarchs in Russia were dealt with by the emperor, and those who should be arrested were arrested, those who should be executed were executed, and those who should be exiled abroad were exiled abroad.
But the power of Russia's oligarchs hasn't weakened with the fall of these oligarchs: as old oligarchs are eliminated, new ones emerge. For example, Ye Moumou's grandson-in-law, Ivan, is one of them. Of course, we can't forget the "oil king," Roman Abrahimovich. Xiao Peng's "Luna" was actually his ship.
Although he stood firmly by the emperor when he came to power, he was still frightened by the emperor's thunderous methods. In order to protect himself, he also used all means.
He was first elected to the State Duma in order to obtain "parliamentary immunity", and then went directly to the Chukotka region far away from Moscow to become the local chief executive. When he got there, he just threw money, money, and more money. He threw hundreds of millions of dollars there in one breath, building buildings and improving the living habits of local people - anyway, this money was just a small amount for him.
Xiao Peng could do the same thing. He could invest a few hundred million euros in building Vorkuta, ensuring that the people here could have a better life. Besides, the port of Sabetta had already been built, and Xiao Peng believed that within a few years, that port would be able to radiate to this area, which would definitely improve the living standards of the people here.
But why did he do this? Russia didn't care about this place, so why should he care? He was not Abramovich. Abramovich did that purely because his own safety was not guaranteed. But what about Xiao Peng? He had no reason to do this!
Just because of his inherent kindness?
In fact, Abramovich invested so much money in the Chukotka region but failed to guarantee his own safety, so he started a series of "sassy operations", such as buying the Premier League team Chelsea, and then quietly completed a large capital transfer involving 50% of Sibneft shares, 25% of Rusal shares and part of Russian Airlines shares in the name of "investment". Now these assets are controlled by a company registered in the UK, and he has completely retreated behind the scenes. Even if Russia's political situation changes now, from a legal point of view, Russia cannot deduct much money from him.
He had already found a way out for himself.
However, a former Chinese billionaire fainted in tears over this: He wanted to do the same thing, and also went to Spain to buy a football team and build a stadium, and "invest" and transfer assets around the world. Little did he know that China is best at learning from others' mistakes, which directly killed all his ideas and sounded a warning to others...
Of course, people like Abu aren't as successful as one might imagine. After all, no matter how powerful an individual is, they still need the support of a nation. Abu's actions have already cost him Russia's support. And how can one man fight a nation? Xiao Peng is impressive, isn't he? But now, facing the public opinion of a city, he feels powerless, let alone Abu.
In 2018, Chelsea won the FA Cup. The whole city was cheering and celebrating, but the owner Abrahimovic was missing.
It's not that he doesn't want to participate, but because his visa has expired, and the UK won't issue him a visa or allow his private plane to land. Abramovich, a top billionaire! It seems a bit of black humor that he can't get a visa, but it's actually true.
British law states that if a foreigner invests more than £2 million in the UK, they can obtain a three-year investment visa, renewable every three years. Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003, investing over £300 million, including a 420-acre estate and various other investments totaling over a billion. Yet, the British denied him a visa on the grounds that his money was "illegible." In other words, no matter how much money you invest, they can still punish you!
I guess what the British are thinking is: You have already thrown your money here, so just get out!
This incident caused panic among the entire British people - many people who had invested money here were worried that they would be treated in the same way: in fact, their concerns were justified. The UK used this method to drive away many investment immigrants.
Expecting the British to have some shame? Haha.
However, it can also be said that Abramovich is the "chosen son". His father happens to be a Jew, and Israel's "Law of Return" stipulates that any child born to a Jew can obtain Israeli citizenship. So Abramovich directly obtained Israeli citizenship, which achieved three goals at once: Israeli citizens are visa-free to enter the UK, Russia is not so opposed to his obtaining Israeli citizenship, and Britain welcomed him when they saw him leave Russia.
But isn’t it tiring for a person to live to this point?
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, human needs are divided into five levels (now broken down into eight) from lowest to highest: first, physiological needs, which means having enough food and water to survive; then, safety; then, social connections; and finally, respect from others and self-actualization. Abu's wealth has reached the pinnacle, but his biggest concern now is his own safety. Just look at the defensive equipment on the Luna...
Tsk tsk, don't laugh at others. Xiao Peng is in the same boat now. Many things he does are like dancing on a tightrope. Otherwise, why would he come to this icy Russia? And do something here that would offend a whole city?
So he decided to ignore this matter, but he felt guilty about it. What should he do now?
Being an ostrich is actually not bad. Xiao Peng is ready to take Kaxin away from here - out of sight, out of mind, right?
Just as he was about to leave, Ka Xin suddenly grabbed Xiao Peng and said, "Boss, look!"
