Let me ask you a question:
Give you 1000 yuan, you don't have to do anything, just need to accompany each other to do what you want to do, 24 hours on call, do not do it?
A lot of spinach may just shake their heads, of course not dry! Sacrificing hue for 1,000 bucks is not worth it, it's not worth it.
What about 1 million, 10 million?
I believe that a lot of spinach should be considered.
The protagonist Jill Dodd, whom Uncle Bo wants to talk about today, is not only a few millions and tens of millions, but billions of temptations.
Her crush was Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi billionaire who died just last year.
The story begins with the heroine, Jill.
The two first met in the early 1980s. Gill is also a 21-year-old model, working in Paris, and has also appeared in vogue, Bazaar and other well-known fashion magazines, and the future is bright.
Angelic faces, devilish figures, people love flowers and blossoms.
Adnan, a 44-year-old Saudi billionaire at the time, was of course fascinated by her at first sight.
The two met at a party with music, singers, campfires, and the smell of youth hormones everywhere.
Sitting across from Jill was Adnan, who began to invite Jill to dance.
Dancing and dancing, Adnan grabbed a chair and threw it into the fire, and Jill threw a chair as well:
We spun up like two magnets in front of the flames and laughed together.
After that, Adnan was even crazier.
He stared affectionately into Jill's eyes, gently pushed up her sleeve, and wrote three words on her arm with his fingertips: I love you.
The words were red, it was Adnan's blood, and he had cut his finger with glass.
Jill was shocked. But after being shocked, she felt that the man in front of her, unlike others, was "very interesting and cute."
After the party, she learned from her agent that this man was really not an ordinary man, but a 4 billion Saudi billionaire.
In his 20s, he invested in transportation in the United States, and then expanded his business empire to include resorts, car sales, properties and shipping lines.
But his most well-known identity is that of an arms dealer. During the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, the U.S. government sold weapons to Iran, and the key intermediary was Adnan.
After that, Adnan began a fierce pursuit of Gil. She also sent flowers and gifts, and often invited her to play on her luxury yacht.
The yacht, called the 83m nabila, has at least 10 bedrooms, a lavishly decorated disco, and a clinic underneath that can do open surgery, which was bought by Trump in 1988 and named "Princess Trump."
Jill, who was not deeply involved in the world, was confused and dizzy:
Dinner was very elaborate, and after the meal he asked me if I would like to take a look around the yacht. We looked at his bedroom, the bedspread was fur, the doorknobs were pure gold, and the walls that swung around like in the 007 movies, revealing the back chamber... In my opinion, the yacht was awesome and creative.
Although the man in front of him was 20 years older than himself, stocky and bald, Jill still liked him and longed to see him again:
He was very rich, but at the same time had a peaceful power. You know that feeling, sometimes you feel like the other person is familiar, as if they had known each other before; you don't understand the reason, but everything feels appropriate.
What Gill lacks is precisely this peaceful power.
Jill's family was not happy since she was a child, her father was the absolute authority of the family, and neither she nor her mother dared to have any opinion of denying her father. As soon as something was undesirable, the father began to sexually abuse his wife in front of the child.
These childhood shadows have always accompanied Jill's growth. She longed to find a man to lean on and give her respect, and Adnan just showed up.
On one date, Adnan took her hand and told Jill sincerely:
I can't kiss you until you accept the contract.
Jill is confused, what contract?
Adnan went on to say:
I don't do marriage in the traditional way, where by law members of the Saudi royal family and other powerful people can take 3 legal wives and raise 11 pleasure wives. I want you to be my little wife, let's sign a five-year contract, I take care of you, you can contact me 24 hours a day, if you want to see me, I will send a plane to pick you up, you can also have other boyfriends.
There is also this operation??? Isn't this the equivalent of a love affair???
But at that time, Jill was already overwhelmed by love, and she didn't even think about it, so she nodded her head and agreed:
I didn't care about anything at the time, I always wanted to be independent anyway, I thought to myself, anything, I just wanted to kiss him.
In this way, the 21-year-old Jill became one of the little wives of the 44-year-old Adnan's huge harem.
Adnan's home is not just a house, but an entire residential area with several villas and luxury suites, one of which Gil lives.
In the beginning, the two people were tired of being together all day, locked in the house every day, and did not go anywhere.
Twenty-four hours a day is to snap, sleep when tired, cook to deliver food when hungry, and occasionally even take drugs.
In addition to valuable gifts, Adnan paid her tuition and supported her to study at top design schools in the United States. Usually, Jill also learns martial arts and French, but when Adnan is not there, he reads books and dances by himself, and lives very comfortably.
Even though she had already met Adnan's other little wives, her intuition told her that in Adnan's heart, she was the most special.
However, things have changed over time.
There are many girls who are more beautiful than herself and younger than herself, and she finds that in Adnan's heart, she is actually like the girls on the street, nothing special.
Once, Adnan's assistant walked in with a folder full of young and beautiful pictures of models, and the two of them picked them with interest.
Jill suddenly understood that, like the models in the photo, she was actually just a commodity, and she asked:
What are you doing? Are you looking for girls to buy it? Is that how you found me? Did you pick me out in the directory?
Adnan and his assistant looked at each other and smiled.
Jill instantly tasted betrayal.
She began to doubt her choice more and more.
Especially one night, when Jill was already asleep, Adnan walked in with a necklace and kissed her on the head. When Jill turns around, Adnan realizes that he has gone to the wrong room:
Oh, got the room wrong, you can leave that gift.
This time it broke Jill very badly, and it was the first time it made her so sad.
The freshness has passed, and the feelings of the two people are naturally not as vigorous as before.
Every time Adnan asked her if she would like to come back, Jill just wanted to hear him say I love you and would like to be alone with you, but Adnan had never told her that.
By the end of 1981, Jill was becoming increasingly insecure about the dangerous relationship. She was no longer able to face the life of Adnan's wives and concubines, and she feared that she would be infected with AIDS.
So in 1982, the two broke up peacefully.
Adnan continued his life as a local tycoon, while Jill was married twice and founded the surfing brand roxy in the United States.
Jill now lives in the United States with her second husband and three children. This luxurious but dangerous love was also written into her book "The Currency of Love".
She doesn't want to hide this dusty past anymore, and she also hopes to let the children know what their mother was when she was young and what she did:
Hiding things from the past as we get older will only allow shame to control us in turn. Over the past four or five years, I've learned that keeping secrets is a very dangerous thing to do.
At the beginning, the combination of two people can be said to have their own purposes. Jill wants what she wants in order to gain independence, and Adnan in search of pleasure, so Jill doesn't regret it either:
I think it's part of my life journey and part of educating me.
At that time, she naively thought that with fame and money, happiness would come naturally. But from Adnan, she saw something different:
I was a young woman at the time, eager to be financially independent because I wanted to be liberated from my family. At that time, Adnan gave me unprecedented wealth, but I also saw that his life and his family's life were not as happy as the outside world thought. This is a huge lesson. Wealth alone, without true love, is not enough.
After reading Jill's story, and then going back to the opening question, give you 1 million, will you choose to sign this love contract?
Love is very solemn, money can't buy it, and don't think about it with money to buy.
Like the movie "The Peach Deal," a couple on the verge of bankruptcy accepts a sale and purchase agreement from a rich man: let his wife spend the night with the millionaire, and he can exchange it for millions of dollars.
The desperate couple accepted the agreement, and although nothing happened between the wife and the rich, the originally loving couple began to suspect and complain about each other, and the relationship deteriorated, and eventually even reached the brink of marriage breakdown.
When the money is gone, it can be earned again; but if the loved one is gone, it can never be regained.
Money can buy comfort, luxury, and even sex, but it can't buy true love.
Don't use money to challenge the bottom line of love, otherwise, in the end, it will only be a lose-lose situation.
