Not even Huangtai’s melons who gave money to him more than ten years later.

That is to say, the British media community briefly united to launch a small counterattack against the newly intruding giants.

However, this formation made Abe Smith, who was already well-known in the UK, suddenly become even more famous.

Many British people suddenly regarded him as the richest man in the United States.

If he wasn't the richest man in the United States, how could he be so rich?

A very simple understanding, almost mindless and without common sense.

But in the UK, or in the United States and most of Europe and America.

Most ordinary European and American people are like this.

At this time.

1366 Paddington Avenue, Paddington Community, West End, London.

There is a building here that is not very high, only 15 floors.

This building is regarded as a sacred place in the eyes of many racing fans around the world.

When many racing fans come to London to travel, they will immediately go to the front of this building to take photos with it.

Because this building is only fifteen stories high, its name is "F1 Building".

That's right, this ugly-looking building is the headquarters building of F1 Holdings, one of the world's most popular sports events and the main controller of Formula 1 racing.

However, some people believe that the real headquarters of F1 is in Geneva, Switzerland. Because that is the headquarters of the International Automobile Federation, which is also the headquarters of the FIA.

Strictly speaking, both arguments are valid.

Because it is the FIA ​​that formulates the rules for Formula 1 racing.

The enforcement of these rules, organizers of competitions, as well as commercialization and other aspects are handled by F1 Holdings.

Neither party can lose the other, and F1 has been developing very well.

Bernie Ecclestone, the actual controller of the Formula 1 racing car, works in this building.

August 3rd.

There is no race today. Bernie Ecclestone, the behind-the-scenes controller of F1, comes to the F1 building to work as always.

Bernie is full of energy, and this seventy-year-old man has a crazy obsession with neatness.

Everything in his office is neat, very clean, and very symmetrical.

It is said that Bernie even demanded that the F1 world be equally tidy.

For example, all transport vehicles parked in the parking lot must be arranged in a line, and the distance between them cannot exceed 5 centimeters.

Bernie came to work today and found that the newspapers placed on his desk were not neatly placed.

This is usually the job of his secretary.

Bernie Ecclestone's former secretary returned home to have a baby and resigned.

Last month, the company hired a new secretary for him, who graduated from Cambridge University with a master's degree in business school.

Bernie Ecclestone was in the office and immediately cursed:

"He is also said to be a top student who graduated from Cambridge University! If he can't even do neat things, how can he do a good job if he's not tidy enough?"

Thinking about firing the secretary, the white-haired old man sat down and finished the newspaper.

While sorting the newspapers, Bernie Ecclestone raised his eyes and saw the headline on the "Daily Express" in front of him.

This headline is too sensational, mainly because it is sensational to Bernie.

Because the title is "F1 is about to change ownership? Smith from the United States buys the formula car"!

Bernie Ecclestone brought the newspaper over immediately.

His movements were so hasty that he knocked over the pile of newspapers and looked untidy at all.

But at the moment, Bernie Ecclestone doesn't care if they're neat or tidy.

What Bernie is more concerned about is why the "Daily Express" is telling such "nonsense".

Bernie Ecclestone quickly skimmed a report.

After reading it, the F1 czar broke out in a cold sweat.

"Why didn't you notify me! Why didn't you notify me! Farke! Farke! Farke!"

After struggling for a long time, Bernie Ecclestone gritted his teeth and stood up.

He picked up the company phone on the table and dialed.

The call was quickly answered.

"Kerry!"

Once connected, Bernie Ecclestone shouted:

"Why didn't Kirsch Group tell me that SELC's shares were sold? As you know, I have always been interested in SELC's shares and I have always wanted to privatize it!"

Responding to Bernie Ecclestone was the unhurried voice of Kerry Kirsch, senior president of the Kirsch Group.

"Bernie, for the sake of our past friendship, I am willing to answer these two questions of yours. The first question is why I didn't notify you."

"I'm sorry. This was an oversight on the part of the Kirsch Group, and I would like to apologize to you."

Bernie Ecclestone wants to give Kerry Kirsch a bad rap.

How could you forget something like this?

Even if Kerry Kirsch and other Kirsch Group executives forgot.

People in their company will definitely remind them.

Because according to laws and regulations, when a shareholder sells company shares, other shareholders of the company have the right to know.

But if you violate it, it won't be a big deal.

That means fines, ranging from hundreds to thousands of pounds.

Bernie Ecclestone could only grit his teeth and say gently:

"But Kerry, why doesn't Kirsch Group sell me its shares? You know I'm interested."

"Your offer is too low. Bernie, you are only willing to pay 500 million euros, and you even have to pay it in installments. It is impossible for the Kirsch Group to agree."

Bernie Ecclestone finally had enough.

He held up the phone receiver and yelled at Kerry Kirsch across from him:

"Then you can't sell stocks to Americans! God knows how much I hate that guy! You know what? The doctor said that I had a heart bypass surgery and it was best not to fly or travel long distances, but last month

, but I."

"Dududu~"

Bernie Ecclestone's roaring voice was interrupted by a busy signal on the phone.

Kerry Kirsch hung up the phone.

Bang!

Bernie was so angry that he smashed the phone on the desk. The force was so strong that the entire phone flew away and also messed up other pen holders, decorations and documents around it.

Not neat at all.

After taking a breath for a while, Bernie knew that it was useless to be angry now. The most important thing now was to consolidate his power.

"There is still a way out... There is still a way out."

Bernie Ecclestone was talking to himself, as if to encourage himself.

SELC is the parent company of F1 Holdings and Management Company.

It’s true that I only hold 25% of SELC’s shares.

But the most valuable thing about F1 is mainly the recognition of the brand and the participating teams, and the certification of the FIA.

It doesn't matter if the SELC company is lost, it doesn't even matter if the F1 holding company is lost.

As long as those teams and the FIA ​​are willing to support me, then I still have a chance to make a comeback!

Bernie Ecclestone calms down.

He hurriedly found the telephone contact information of the F1 team principals.

Then he picked up the phone that he had smashed on the ground and wanted to make a call.

But he found that the phone seemed to be broken and had been smashed by him just now.

Holding the phone book, Bernie Eccles headed outside.

He wanted to contact the team owners as soon as possible and contact Geneva.

Bernie is unwilling to give in to the "betrayal" of the Kirsch Group and will never accept it.
