Chapter 532: Risks of Dating a Rich Man
This divorce case also had a significant impact on Akhmedov. After all, he is a businessman. For a businessman, reputation is naturally the most important thing, and this matter has greatly affected his business.
But how long will it take him to earn back over 600 million? These Russian oligarchs all made their fortunes during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Every single one of them has their money tainted by the law. Otherwise, why are they so afraid to return to Russia now that they're in the UK? Is it really because the UK is better than Russia?
There is more of a refuge element!
Especially when news of someone being assassinated pops up out of nowhere, everyone lives very cautiously.
Abramovich was quite clever. He's also an oligarch, but he first became governor of Chukotka. For years, he'd barely been to the region, simply throwing money around, a 'buying peace with money.' Then he went to England and bought Chelsea. He knows nothing about football. When he first bought the team, he went to a match and applauded the opponents, much to the amusement of British fans. But he kept throwing money at the team! Why? To desperately increase his international profile, to make even his enemies afraid to take action!
Ultimately, this is still about spending money to buy peace of mind.
But what about most oligarchs? They're all reluctant to spend, or perhaps they don't have the money to match Abramovich's spending style. Can a billionaire with a billionaire's assets use the same approach as a billionaire with tens of billions? Abramovich throwing a few billion at Chelsea is nothing to him, but asking Akhmedov to throw a few billion? He'd still be in debt!
No matter how dirty their money is, two things are certain: first, it is enough for them to spend for several lifetimes; second, it is unlikely that they will suddenly become rich and make a fortune like they did when the Soviet Union collapsed.
It is for this reason that if you ask Ahmedov to throw away more than 600 million at once, he will definitely not be able to accept it.
Ahmedov's case has developed to this point. His ex-wife is now acting like a "victim" and seeking sympathy everywhere, so public opinion against him is now very negative.
At first, he didn't care. You guys say yours, I'm happy. He's not in the entertainment industry, so why would he care what ordinary people think of him? He lived his life as happily as he could, but recently, he hasn't been happy anymore:
Because now the matter has developed into more than just his own: he now represents the image of all oligarchs who immigrated to the UK and even the image of the entire British wealthy, although other wealthy people may do things even more cruelly than him if they encounter the same thing, just like Hua Xia Lang, who had a total of six ex-wives and none of them got along well with him. The worst one was his lover, the flight attendant, who not only made him sleep with her for three years in vain but also made her owe him nine million!
As I said before: There are risks in being a sugar daddy, so be careful...
Because this incident affected the entire wealthy circle, many wealthy people were labeled as "rich and unkind", which made them very unhappy, so they began to join forces to deal with Akhmedov - of course, it is more likely that this is just a show, anyway, all of Akhmedov's business activities have basically stopped.
Originally, those commercial activities were not for making money but for giving money to the British government. It would be better to shut them down!
Ahmedov is certainly a smart man. He took advantage of the joint sanctions against him to play the victim and put the blame for the suspension of his business activities directly on the British government, saying that the British government could not guarantee his personal wealth and normal business work. Moreover, he has now used a "big move" and has seriously started the bankruptcy liquidation of many companies under his name and put the blame directly on the British government.
Not only was his ex-wife dumbfounded, but even the British government was dumbfounded.
According to the thinking habits of ordinary people, it is generally like this: I run a company and owe you money, so as long as I have money, I should pay you back.
But in fact it is not the case.
For example, let's say Xiao Peng has $1 billion in his pocket, and his ocean exploration company owes someone $100 million. If he can't pay it back, will he pay it back? The answer is: if you don't want to pay it back, you don't have to!
What is a 'limited liability company'? It's a company I invest my money in. Even if I'm the only owner of the company, any operations, investments, or debts I incur under the company's name are the company's business, not my personal business.
If the company loses money and needs to go bankrupt, it is the company that goes bankrupt, not me personally.
For example, Xiao Peng invested one million yuan in a company, but the investment failed and he owed someone five million yuan. When the creditor came to collect the debt, he could only execute the company's assets worth one million yuan and could not touch Xiao Peng's other assets.
So the Bankruptcy Law is for the rich!
Why do wealthy people set up numerous companies? To diversify their risks. They conduct everything under the company's name, and if they go bankrupt, they are left with only one company. But what about the poor? They must borrow money personally, and all the assets under their personal name can be used to settle the debt.
What is the point of rich people setting up a bunch of companies? Many of their actions are carried out in the name of different companies.
For example, the principal was included in the "dishonesty list" for a period of time, but he still drove luxury cars and drove private jets. This is because those luxury cars and private jets were registered in the name of other companies rather than purchased in his personal name.
Normally, the expenses of these luxury cars and planes, including the luxury houses where the company lives and the employees in them, are paid in the name of the company and calculated into the company's operating costs. This can reduce the company's profits and achieve the goal of paying less taxes.
Why is Xiao Peng so familiar with this? He's the boss now, right? Their company does the same thing!
After making a killing from Istanbul United Mining, Fabian's first move was to set up over a dozen companies, even registering his own house under one company name to avoid taxes...
Don’t ever think that rich people are of high quality. They are full of despicable means!
Akhmedov owns numerous companies with numerous bank loans. As a billionaire, it's easy for him to get loans; borrowing a few million is practically the same as taking no loans at all... But he owns dozens, perhaps hundreds, of companies! If he were to liquidate his companies, the unfortunate ones would be his creditors and banks!
But he made a fatal mistake: he had too many companies and even forgot that his 'Luna' was also under the name of a bankrupt and liquidated company.
Or maybe this was not his mistake, but an attempt to transfer assets. Only God knows the truth.
